Waste materials against the sky: the emperor's only favorite daughter-in-law

Chapter 61 Your Highness deliberately avoided suspicion?

Jun Lintian was sitting next to the old concubine, but his attire today was incompatible with this banquet. He was dressed in a black and dark floral robe, and he looked like he was going to court instead of attending a banquet.But no matter how you say it, Jun Lintian is tall and handsome, so no matter how he dresses up, he will definitely stand out from the crowd and be the most conspicuous one.

At this time, he was gently holding the jade wine glass with his right hand, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised. If anyone followed his gaze, they would definitely be able to spot An Mujin who was sitting quietly in the distance.

An Mujin didn't know that Jun Lintian was looking at her, but just ate the pastry in front of her.After all, this kind of banquet is really boring for a person like her.

But even if she didn't take the initiative to speak up, how could the people next to her be willing to just let her go?
Jun Lin's talent is outstanding, and he is the most outstanding prince in the current dynasty. Naturally, he is the best husband-in-law in the hearts of the ladies of various houses.Today, the old concubine held a banquet in person again, saying it was to welcome the spring, but in fact she was choosing a concubine, so the ladies from all the mansions were all dressed up to show off, and all of them were fully prepared to show off.

And to show off here, the first person to fight is naturally An Mujin.

Rumors of Jun Lintian and An Muzhen had already spread in the streets and alleys. Many people had heard the rumors but had never seen An Muzhen. They all cursed in their hearts: Who is this An Mujin?Where can I be worthy of His Royal Highness?

I only heard a young lady sitting around An Muzhen whispering, "Whose girl is this? This plain dress doesn't look like she is going to a banquet. I don't know. I thought it was a funeral. !"

The young ladies around heard this and burst into laughter.

An Zeya also pretended to be distressed, and said as if she was helping An Mujin, "Oh, you don't know, I told my elder sister specifically before going out that this is a banquet hosted by the concubine herself. For the new year, it is natural to dress festively. But how to wear it is my eldest sister's own business, and it is best for you ladies not to talk too much."

All the young ladies nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Jun Wushuang on the high platform heard someone taunting An Mujin, so she was naturally not to be outdone, and hurriedly said, "That's right! This person obviously doesn't care about the concubine at all. You see, she even chose her hair accessories so simply. You see... the Marquis of An's mansion is not a small household, why is Miss An not even able to afford clothes and jewellery, I'm afraid she doesn't care about this banquet?"

Jun Wushuang said this sharply and loudly, almost everyone heard it, even the empress dowager could not help but frown.

Jun Lintian sat on the side, and he was not surprised to see that everyone was targeting An Mujin so much.Still drinking his wine quietly, he clearly picked out the clothes for An Mujin himself, but at this moment he didn't have the slightest intention to speak out.

An Mujin raised her eyes and looked at Jun Lintian with a smile, but she didn't take this little disturbance to heart.Just when he was about to open his mouth to defend, Jun Wushuang on the high platform said, "I heard that Miss An is good in everything, but she is too noble. I always think that the people in your house spend too much on food and clothing. , saying that they don’t know how to be frugal! Do you think so, Miss An Er.”

This is true, on the surface it is praising An Muzhen, but in fact it is helping An Muzhen to provoke the anger of everyone present, naturally... including the princess who was very fond of An Muzhen before, but now sitting on the high platform Empress.

When it comes to food and clothing, the most extravagant is the royal family, isn't it?Although she advocated frugality in worshiping the Buddha these years, she was only a little more frugal than in previous years...

Hearing Jun Wushuang mentioning herself for no reason, her words were aimed at An Muzhen, and it was hard for her to say that she was also targeting An Muzhen, so she could only laugh it off. Such a smile has two meanings, one is acquiescing , As for the second, it is to avoid answering.

However, An Mujin just stood up calmly, bowed to the concubine, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "At first, I thought that today is the Spring Festival, so there should be no conflicts. All of you who are present today are concerned about me alone. My son had a dispute, it was really all my fault, please be lenient and lenient."

After hearing her words, the empress dowager concubine saw her dignified appearance and regular conversation, and her impression of her improved a lot, her brows gradually relaxed.

I just heard An Mujin continue to say, "A few years ago, I also liked to dress up, but I just happened to hear that the current concubine devoted herself to worshiping Buddha, and I felt admiration for a while, so I also asked some masters for advice. I also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and suddenly felt enlightened, and then I realized the sufferings of all living beings and the people. I thought that I was a woman, and I couldn’t make much contribution, so I had to be more frugal on weekdays, and then took out the monthly payment to help the people. As for today’s visit Banquet, I didn't mean to be perfunctory, I just thought that I am not a big person, I just want to come here to see the majesty of the concubine, and then enjoy the flowers. The snow was heavy a few days ago, and I saw a plain color between the sky and the earth, which was extremely shocking, so I just picked such a suit of clothes. I just didn’t want to... let everyone have this misunderstanding, it’s really a sin."

What An Mujin said was reasonable, and she also pointed out her respect for the concubine.This was not a big deal in the first place. After hearing what she said, the concubine not only did not get angry, but felt pity in her heart, and said with a smile, "You little girl is quite cute. Don't worry, just sit down and enjoy the flowers."

"Thank you, Concubine Tai, for your kindness." An Mujin bowed slightly upon hearing this, and then sat down quietly again.

It's just a wave that flattens out, and another wave rises again.Naturally, those people would not let An Mujin go so easily.

"Ms. Taifei, there is something I've been holding back in my heart for a long time. I don't know if I should say it or not." The one who spoke was a lady from the official family who was sitting opposite An Mujin. pressing.

The old concubine naturally wouldn't let her talk, so she nodded lightly, "Just tell me."

"This..." The lady made a hesitant look on purpose, and stammered, "A few days ago... I heard some rumors... in the streets and alleys. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

As soon as the words came out, the ladies in court naturally understood, so many people said, "I seem to have some impressions."

An Zeya heard what everyone said, thinking that this was indeed a good opportunity to ridicule An Mujin, she couldn't help but feel secretly proud, but because they were still sisters after all, she couldn't be the first one to speak out.

Fortunately, she is not the only one who is dissatisfied with An Mujin?
"If you're talking about this, it seems that I've heard it too. This matter... seems to be related to Brother Chen Wang." Jun Wushuang sat on the other side of the concubine, next to Jun Muyue. The hesitant appearance really whetted the concubine's appetite.

"You guys are talking about it one by one, what is it, why don't I know?"

"Your Majesty the Concubine, you don't know something. There were some strange rumors at the end of the alley a few days ago... It is said that His Highness was not clear with a lady from the official family..." It was another lady from the official family who spoke. Wanting to make a good impression in front of the concubine, she stood up first.

The concubine couldn't help frowning when she heard this. Although she had the intention to choose a concubine for her "son", it would be unseemly for her to quarrel with others before marriage, not to mention being known by so many people.So she hurriedly turned her head and asked Jun Lintian, "Is this really the case?"

Jun Lintian naturally shook his head, with a look of insignificance on his face, "Don't worry about such groundless rumors, the concubine."

"Your Highness, don't defend that woman with ulterior motives!" A irascible young lady yelled directly.

"That's right, isn't that woman who shamelessly seduced His Highness deliberately sitting at the banquet right now?" Jun Wushuang sneered, and her eyes fell on An Mujin intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that everyone pointed the finger at her, An Mujin was not in a hurry to argue, but just drank tea and watched everyone's "performance" with peace of mind.

Watching the performance with An Mujin was also Li Feifei. Today she still wore a veil to cover her face, but she looked very indifferent when watching all kinds of provocations and teasing by the ladies.

"Oh?" The concubine obviously believed in this matter, her face gradually sank, and she asked sharply, "Who is it?"

Everyone stopped talking, but turned their eyes to the direction where An Mujin was.

Seeing that the time had come, An Zeya hurriedly knelt forward and cried, "Sisters, don't blame my eldest sister... I... my eldest sister is not the kind of shameless person, there must be something hidden in it!"

From what she said, the truth about who the woman in the rumor was naturally already revealed.

The old concubine coldly followed everyone's eyes, only to find that the person was An Mujin!With the previous words, the old concubine's impression of An Mujin has improved a lot.But after all, people can't be judged by their appearance, and they can't be judged by those words alone, so she asked sharply, "Tell me, what's going on?"

An Muzhen didn't look panicked at all, she still stood up respectfully, and glanced at the ladies at the banquet with a smile, "It's just some street rumors, not to mention everyone, even I have heard of it before." But why should you take this kind of thing that can't be put on the table seriously?"

Jun Wushuang sneered, "Hmph, you're just trying to excuse yourself."

Jun Muyue, who had been sitting next to her without speaking, couldn't sit still at this moment, and persuaded, "Sister Wushuang's words are a bit arbitrary. Everyone just heard some rumors, and there is no evidence, how can you Are you sure that it is true? Besides, who is the third brother? Don't you believe him?"

"His Royal Highness is probably already stunned by that woman at this time, and the words are naturally helping her!" Jun Wushuang finally seized the opportunity to defeat An Mujin, how could he let it go?
"Then earlier, when An Muzhen was besieged by everyone, and when you were scolding her, the empress dowager, did the emperor stand up and say a word for An Muzhen?" Although Jun Muyue looked quiet, at this time she was Seeing blood on the knife, Jun Wushuang couldn't open his mouth when he asked.
