Not many people dared to be so tough on the Mu family, and everyone was looking at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi has long eyebrows, red lips and delicate bones, and the long tassels on her steps hang down on her shoulders, making her look as light and as pure as a god. Moreover, she insists on practicing small grappling skills for half an hour every day, and her posture and deportment are better than those of ordinary people.
However, all this beauty is still not as good as her bright black eyes.
Those eyes seemed to contain all the stars in the sky and all the sparkling lights in the world. That kind of pure and fearless, silent and turbulent eyes made people involuntarily feel ashamed.
The smile on Mu Lan's face gradually faded, and the hostility in her eyes seemed to pour into her whole body, making her body tense slightly.
Li Qingyi's aura did not change, he still stood there steadily with a calm expression.
If she is underestimated from the beginning, her troubles will only continue, and all kinds of small fish and shrimps will dare to come to her trouble.
In this case, it is better not to let others underestimate you in the first place, at least to prevent others from taking action against you at will. You should think twice before taking action.
However, in such an atmosphere, not everyone can remain calm.
Such as Weilander.
However, there are some people who are not affected at all by such an atmosphere.
For example, Mu Wan.
The aqua-colored shawl between Mu Wan's arms gently curled behind her skirt, which seemed to soothe everyone's mood.
She walked over openly and looked at the painting on Li Qingyi's desk carefully. Her tone was very natural and she said with a smile: "It's really good. Although Miss Li's technique is a little unfamiliar, it is indeed very agile and has great charm. In comparison, , my own painting is indeed too deliberate.”
It goes without saying that Mu Wan has a distinguished status. What is rare is that she never puts on airs with others. She is considerate and talented. She greets people with a smile anytime and anywhere. Although some people say behind her back that she is pretentious, but her Popularity is indeed the best.
If Mu Lan is a solid piece of ice, then Mu Wan is as soft as a finger.
Therefore, when she spoke out like this, it was like the spring breeze picking up. Everyone gradually relaxed and ignored the confrontation just now. You and I came forward to agree with each other.
Mu Lan's cold eyes gradually returned to normal. Without any emotion, she objectively evaluated Li Qingyi's paintings and left first.
When leaving, he glanced at Mu Yao behind Li Qingyi.
Mu Yao unexpectedly did not show any flinch, but saluted generously, "Third Sister."
Mu Lan said nothing and walked away.
There were also people whispering about Mu Yao's actions, but Mu Yao was equally unmoved.
Everyone has the right to choose their own friends.
She gets along well with Miss Li, what's wrong?
Although there are undercurrents surging between the Mu family and the Li family, haven't they been brought to the surface?
Then she pretends she doesn't know.
Wei Laner turned his head and glanced at Mu Lan's back, "Sister Li, why did you offend her? What conflicts have you had before?"
She obviously didn't know about Li Qingyi and Mu Ying's feud.
Of course, Li Qingyi would not explain it to her. He only said: "Every relationship between people depends on their eyesight. Some people like you, and some people don't like you. Maybe Miss Mu San just doesn't like me, so don't let it go." In my heart."
Although Mu Lan is cold and arrogant, he knows how to advance and retreat better than Mu Ying, and the ladies around him are all of similar status. Mu Ying, on the other hand, was obviously not picky and would accept everything that came her way.
Wei Lan'er heard what she said and glanced at Mu Yao. Mu Yao smiled and said, "What Sister Li said is that even sisters of the same race may not be close to each other. People interact with each other based on their affinity."
Li Qingyi looked back at her meaningfully, "Let's go, let's go look elsewhere."
Chonghua Palace is built on the mountain, which is colder than the city. The trees are covered with snow, and the silvery white dances along the branches to the sky, just like a cold palace fairyland. The eldest princess of Deqing ordered people to hang colorful silk ribbons on the branches, adding a touch of human fireworks to the pure whiteness.
Li Qing
Yi walked and talked, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Lanting.
Five or six girls in colorful clothes were singing and dancing in the snow.
The light and transparent silk ribbons floated and scattered around, making it extremely beautiful.
The eldest princess of Deqing was sitting in the Orchid Pavilion, accompanied by a beauty in palace attire and a forty-year-old woman.
The beauty in palace attire is very charming, with curved eyebrows and smiling eyes, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. Her belly was bulging high, and she was obviously a pregnant woman.
Li Qingyi said cautiously: "I don't know which noble person is sitting there, let's go."
Wei Jin'er and others were also afraid of conflicting with someone, so they nodded in agreement, but Princess Deqing saw them at this moment.
Li Qingyi had no choice but to bow in her direction and prepare to leave. Unexpectedly, the pregnant woman next to the eldest princess actually waved to them and asked them to pass.
Several people had no choice but to approach and pay their respects to the two of them.
The beauty in palace attire held her belly, and looked at several little girls with her wonderful eyes, and finally landed on Li Qingyi, "Whose daughter is this?"
The eldest princess of Deqing said with a smile: "This is the niece of Master Li."
"Oh? I heard that everyone in the Li family has extraordinary appearance, and it turns out that they are so at first sight."
Only then did the Princess of Deqing introduce to Li Qingyi and others: "This is a good nobleman."
It turned out to be the emperor's concubine.
Li Qingyi and others quickly saluted the noble lady again. They didn't know how she came to Chonghua Palace because she was pregnant. If something happened, a lot of people would suffer.
"This is not a palace, so there is no need to be formal."
The noble man said politely and let them go.
When they were far away, Wei Laner whispered: "This good noble man has such a big belly, how dare he leave the palace and wander around..."
Mu Yao said: "I heard that the Qin Tian Jian's divination said that the dragon fetus in Liang Guiren's belly was in conflict with the imperial concubine, so he evaded the palace, saying that after the child was born, he could do some rituals and everything would be fine. "
Several people didn't answer after hearing this, feeling that this was not a good thing.
It wasn't Concubine Mu who was causing trouble, it was Concubine Mu who was causing trouble herself, so she quickened her steps to avoid getting into trouble.
When they returned to the garden, all the competitions were almost over. Following the guidance of the maid, everyone went to the Yuntai Hall to take their seats.
The eldest princess of Deqing also arrived in the palace soon, still accompanied by the noble man. The forty-year-old woman sat down at the table like the other ladies who came to Fanghua Palace today.
She should be Liang Guiren's mother, and she came to meet Liang Guiren during today's Fanghua Palace banquet.
The eldest princess of Deqing asked a few questions about the results of the competition, and the maid handed over the prizes that had been decided before to everyone.
The result of Li Qingyi's painting is a skylark with fringed steps, which is very delicate.
Wei Laner glanced over and saw that Mu Lan and Mu Wan had also won the prize. "It seems that they lost to Sister Li in painting, and they went to compete with others again."
Li Qingyi was noncommittal and his attention fell on Princess Deqing and Liang Guiren.
I don’t know what the relationship between Liang Guiren and the eldest princess of Deqing is. Why did she go to Fanghua Palace to avoid trouble outside the palace?
Was it specially arranged by someone, or did Lianggui find the place on his own?
Princess Deqing, who was sitting on the throne, said: "Liang Gui has become more and more heavy recently. He will go back early in a while. He wants to have a good rest."
Liang Guiren smiled and said, "I do feel tired from time to time these days. Fortunately, you have your nanny by my side to take care of you, so everything is in order."
"Giving and raising children is the most difficult thing for a woman. If anything happens, don't take it lightly."
The noble man quickly responded obediently.
The eldest princess of Deqing smiled and nodded, with a pair of phoenix eyes that could not be concealed, slightly raised, kind yet hiddenly sharp.
Liang Guiren was pregnant and his body was different from that of ordinary people. He tired easily. After watching the excitement for a while, he felt sleepy and left Yuntai Hall first.
As soon as she left, Li Qingyi's attention
Received it back.
Although the ladies present are not too old, they already have a lot of thoughts and plans, and naturally they will not let go of the current social opportunity.
After Weilaner talked to them for a while, he couldn't help but go to find the noble lady he knew well.
Mu Yao sat still, her eyes looking at Li Qingyi and Wei Jin'er again and again, as if she had something to say but didn't know whether to say it or not.
Li Qingyi said: "Miss Mu Jiu, do you have something to say?"
Mu Yao felt that she had to be honest with Li Qingyi in order to gain his trust. After thinking about it for many days, she finally decided to give up all attempts to beat around the bush and speak directly to him.
Seeing Li Qingyi looking at her calmly, she hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Sister, I must have heard about our second room's situation in the Mu family?"
Li Qingyi looked at Mu Yao's young face and nodded. She heard about it from Wei Jin'er.
Seeing her nod, Mu Yao slowly put down the tea cup in her hand, "My father was disgusted by my grandmother because of the death of my fourth uncle, so he lived in a crackdown for many years and could not please my grandmother. Therefore, my father blamed himself very much. I feel like she is dragging my mother, me and my brother into trouble. As my father’s daughter, I naturally can’t bear it.”
Li Qingyi listened to the other party's story and responded: "This is natural."
Mu Yao rolled up her wide sleeves, and the golden flowers entangled on the cuffs were blooming freely. They were indescribably smart and cute, but they were extremely incompatible with her expression at this time.
She continued: "The mysterious death of my fourth uncle is still a knot in my grandmother's heart. I often keep my fourth uncle's belongings handy and look through them. Once, I accidentally saw a letter written by my fourth uncle to my grandmother. A letter..."
Li Qingyi's eyebrows narrowed when he heard this, knowing that the important point was coming.
However, Mu Yao's story was interrupted by a panicked scream for help!
"Help! No... it's not good, Mr. Liang... Mr. Liang is in trouble!"
A shrill female voice came from a distance, intermittent and panting, but never stopped calling for help.
The eldest princess of Deqing stood up suddenly, "What's going on? What happened to Mr. Liang?"
