With so many people around, Xie Xuanchen's tone of begging to sleep with him was righteous, and Mu Mingtang quickly glanced at both sides and said, "I have something else, you go to sleep."

"If you don't accompany me, then I won't sleep. Anyway, I have a headache and can't sleep."

My God, Mu Mingtang is speechless to this person. She wanted to tear off this old coquettish brown candy, but she was held by her shoulders, unable to pull, hide and avoid, she could only refuse honestly: "No, I just got up."

"What's wrong when I first wake up, I can't sleep anymore when I wake up?"

The maids lowered their eyes, bowed their heads and laughed. Mu Mingtang coughed, and said to them majesticly: "You don't need you here, let's get the meal."

"Yes."

After the maids stepped back, Mu Mingtang immediately moved his shoulders and stared at Xie Xuanchen fiercely: "Sit down, how well are you like this? Let the servants see, where else is the head of the house? "

"Whatever they think, I don't need the head of the family anyway."

"But I need it." Mu Mingtang said, "Get up, you have affected my majestic image."

Xie Xuanchen was reluctant to raise his head. He raised his head like this and Mu Mingtang realized that his eyes were all red.

Mu Mingtang immediately felt a little softened, and his tone dropped again and again, and finally became very gentle: "It's not good to sleep on an empty stomach. I will accompany you to eat first?"

Xie Xuanchen responded aggrievedly. Although Mu Mingtang had only had breakfast, he could not help but use some after sitting with Xie Xuanchen at the dinner table. It's almost noon now, and after using this meal, lunch is saved.

After they ate, they handed the table to their servants to clean up, and the two of them walked to the sleeping hall. As soon as Xie Xuanchen was next to the bed, he naturally hugged Mu Mingtang and put his chin on her shoulder.

He held it so smoothly that Mu Mingtang suspected that he was a pillow. Xie Xuanchen leaned on her shoulder, closed his eyes, and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, Mu Mingtang yawned quietly.

Mu Mingtang also felt embarrassed, why was she sleepy first?

Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes and smiled. He is still leaning on Mu Mingtang's shoulder. When he smiles, his chest vibrates slightly, and Mu Mingtang can clearly feel the slight ups and downs behind him.

Mu Mingtang was embarrassed and threatened fiercely: "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Xuanchen's voice was lazy and said, "Since you are sleepy, let's go to sleep for a while. Anyway, there is nothing wrong today, so why not sleep with me for a while."

"However, there are still many gift posts that have not been processed."

Xie Xuanchen immediately opened his eyes and straightened up unconvinced: "Is they important or me?"

"You are important, you are important." Mu Mingtang couldn't help but decided to perfuse Xie Xuanchen for a while, and then she would get up when he fell asleep. Mu Mingtang planned well. He didn't expect that after sleeping on the bed, listening to the even and familiar breathing by the pillow, he went to sleep without any obstacles.

The two of them slept until the afternoon, and the maid didn't dare to disturb, but the palace had a guest, and they really didn't know what to do.

The maid hesitated at the door of the bedroom, wondering whether to go in or not. Xie Xuanchen woke up by himself before they had discussed an idea.

The maids hurriedly knelt down after seeing a figure sitting up through the screen.

Xie Xuanchen heard a voice at the door in his sleep, and soon woke up. He stood up, halfway through feeling resistance, turned his head and saw Mu Mingtang pressing his sleeve, sleeping extremely peacefully.

Xie Xuanchen stopped his movements immediately, and Mu Mingtang pressed a large piece of sleeves. If he pulled it out, it would be easy to wake her up. Xie Xuanchen tried it carefully, and finally did not dare to take a risk, but took off his coat and covered her.

He changed into a black coat again and strode out. The maids understood what he meant, and were afraid to speak at the door of the sleeping hall, and followed Xie Xuanchen until they stopped.

Xie Xuanchen sat on the sandalwood armchair and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Return to the prince, the deputy envoy of the privy wish Yang Hong, I wish you all to bring your family to the prince for New Year greetings.

"Is it him?" Xie Xuanchen heard this name as expected and a little surprised.

He thought, I wish Yang Hong will come back later. Unexpectedly, the first day of the junior high school came.

Xie Xuanchen said: "Please come in. Let them go to Qingxintang, don't quarrel with the princess behind."

"Yes."

Mu Mingtang slept well and suddenly woke up. She was still dumbfounded when she got up. Following her movements, a piece of clothing slipped from her shoulder. Mu Mingtang picked it up and looked at it, isn't it Xie Xuanchen's.

The clothes are there, but the people are gone. Where did he go?

Mu Mingtang hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the ground. The maids outside heard the sound and walked into the hall together.

"Princess, you are awake."

"Where is the prince?"

"The Privy Council wishes the lord to bring his family to pay a new year to the prince, and the lord and the lord have gone to Qingxintang."

It took a while for Mu Mingtang to hear the reaction before he understood what had happened: "Wish family has come to pay New Year's greetings? When did it happen?"

"Just now, about a quarter of an hour ago."

Having been here for so long, Mu Mingtang was embarrassed and oolong, and couldn't help complaining: "If there are guests, why is no one calling me?"

The maid Nuonuo replied: "The prince will not let slaves and others disturb the princess' lunch break."

It was Xie Xuanchen again, and Mu Mingtang heard a bit of gritted teeth: "He's doing this again. A visitor came to pay a New Year's greetings. Now that he knew, then he left secretly like this?"

The maids looked at each other and were afraid to answer. Mu Mingtang didn't say this to the maid at all. She hurriedly had people tidy up her hair, changed her outer shirt, and walked to Qingxintang.

When Mu Mingtang walked to Qingxintang, the maid at the door met her and hurriedly said hello: "Wang Hao."

I heard voices inside, and the voice stopped instantly. Xie Xuanchen left the Zhu family and walked towards the door: "Didn't you let them wake you up? Why did you wake up so soon?"

When Mrs. Zhu and others knew that Mu Mingtang was here, they all stood up and looked at the door. Everyone in the Zhu family was sitting in another room, separated from the door by a floor-to-ceiling hood. After Mu Mingtang entered the door, he gritted his teeth and whispered to Xie Xuanchen: "You secretly got up again, knowing Someone comes, don't you tell me?"

Xie Xuanchen refused to accept, and said, "What is secretly? You slept just right. Can I wake you up for a little bit?"

Zhu Yanghong, Mrs. Zhu and the others were already watching them. Mu Mingtang couldn't say more, so he could only give Xie Xuanchen a glance, planning to go back and settle accounts with him.

Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen approached, wishing the family to see Mu Mingtang come in, saying hello again: "I have seen the princess, the princess is happy in the new year."

Zhu Yuqing and several of her sisters also stepped forward to salute: "The little girl greets the princess."

When Mu Mingtang saw that there were so many juniors, he became more embarrassed. She smiled and said, "I wish you my wife, you don't have to be polite, please start soon. These are the daughters of the princes of the Lord, right? Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs and the daughters and daughters are all dragons and phoenixes."

After Mrs. Zhu was humble, the guest and host took the seats for the second time. Mu Mingtang always had to explain why he was late, enduring the embarrassment, and said: "I was taking a nap just now. I didn't know how many people were visiting, so I was late. It's really rude."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he felt desperate. Since Zhu's family came to pay a New Year's greetings, he would never pick an inconvenient time. She is still asleep at this hour, which is easy to misunderstand.

People may not believe it, but in fact she is a very hardworking person, she just slept with Xie Xuanchen. As a result, this person woke up at the time and got up secretly, which made her late.

Thinking of this, Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanchen again.

Everyone in the Zhu family noticed Mu Mingtang's eyes, and no one dared to speak for a while. Xie Xuanchen spoke very calmly and said, "It's okay. I slept for a while after Chaohe came back and dragged her to accompany me. As a result, I didn't call her when I came out just now. She was having a temper with me."

I wish Yang Hong didn't expect that there was such a tortuous inside story, and couldn't help sighing that the young people are so angry, they are so pretentious at noon. There was also an unmarried daughter present. Zhu Yanghong was embarrassed to ask and said: "It is our misfortune to disturb the prince and princess."

Mu Mingtang quickly opened up this topic and asked: "I just interrupted the conversation, I'm really sorry. What did I wish you and the prince say just now?"

"I'm talking about the Privy Council." Xie Xuanchen turned around and explained to Mu Mingtang, "I wish Yang Hong will return to Beijing this time and be transferred to the Privy Council."

Turned out to be the deputy privy envoy! Now the three powers are separated, the three divisions are in charge of finances, Zhongshu is in charge of government affairs, and the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs. However, although the Privy Council is in charge of military power, all the officials in it are literati. It is already a rare special case to wish Yang Hong to be promoted to the privy envoy.

Mu Mingtang said immediately: "Congratulations, I wish you a promotion."

I wish Yanghong to be humble again and again, and Xie Xuanchen talked to Zhu Yanghong about the Privy Council, but they were all on the surface and didn't talk much.

This is not a place to talk. It is the emperor's eyeliner inside and out. The conversation is deep, and it is not good for Zhu Yanghong and Xie Xuanchen.

Slowly, the topic turned to the short direction of the parents. This is the safest topic. Mu Mingtang remembered Zhu Yuqing, this time Mrs. Zhu also brought three other concubines, which was a little stunned. Mrs. Zhu turned her head and motioned to her daughter, saying, "Yuqing, don't you come forward to give the princess a gift."

Zhu Yuqing stepped forward alone in the envy of the sisters and saluted Mu Mingtang. After Mu Mingtang asked a few words, the remaining three concubines stood in a row and greeted Mu Mingtang together.

When Mu Mingtang noticed these girls saluting, although Wanfu's movements were uniform, there were many small movements. Some of the clothes are obviously thoughtful, some deliberately show their own rules, and some seem naive...In short, it's quite lively.

And they did it just because they wanted Mu Mingtang to look at them more. If it can attract Mu Mingtang's attention, it will be a shortcut to soaring into the sky.

Mu Mingtang sighed in his heart, without expressing anything on the surface, smiling and asking the girls to get up, and one of them gave a meeting gift. Regardless of how the concubines and concubines of the Zhu family compare to her, Mu Mingtang must treat them equally here. The purses obtained by several girls all look the same on the outside, the concubine in it is a case, and the concubine wishing Yuqing is more expensive.

The young girls were all beaming when they received the meeting ceremony. Among the girls, Mu Mingtang obviously treated Zhu Yuqing differently, which made Mrs. Zhu very happy.

Mu Mingtang looked at the obscure undercurrent among the Zhu's sisters with emotion. She is not much older than these girls, but she is already married, and even these sisters seem to be far away from her carefully. With the consciousness of a married woman, Mu Mingtang asked about the marriage of these girls: "The little ladies in the wish family have their own merits, and they make people like them. I don't know how many ladies have been engaged?"

Hearing Mu Mingtang’s words, the movements of the girls were obviously startled, and Mrs. Zhu also became serious unconsciously: "No. We lived in Yazhou with the general before, when they were young, I want to keep them more. For a few years, I didn’t want to say kisses to them. Now when I arrive in Beijing, seeing these girls are too big to stay, I’m thinking about it. I just arrived in Beijing and I don’t know a few people. Not as knowledgeable as the princess. If the princess does not dislike the trouble, the concubine wants to ask the princess for a favor. If there are princes of the right age, princess Lao will pay more attention to them."

Mu Mingtang naturally smiled and agreed. Hearing Mu Mingtang's acceptance, the young ladies of the Zhu family, no matter their concubines, all showed expectant and shy expressions.

Married woman Mu Mingtang looked at these shy little daughters with emotion, whether she stayed with Xie Xuanchen for a long time and became increasingly outdated. Perhaps, she will have to walk with young people more.

Thinking of this, Mu Mingtang said: "I became lazy since I got married and didn’t go out to socialize. I don’t know what you young girls like anymore. It’s better to wait for the garden party in Beijing to start after the spring, and I will take you with you. Go to the garden party for a walk. At that time, there will be many daughters of officials and daughters attending. You just met some handkerchiefs. Maybe the marriage will come."

With the rise of Neo-Confucianism, women’s rules are becoming stricter and stricter. Unmarried women must be accompanied by brothers when they go out. Although these garden parties and flower viewing parties were organized for women in name, the young ladies brought their own brothers and cousins. In the end, they turned into great occasions for young people to see each other.

After Mu Mingtang spoke, the girls of Zhu’s family all showed joy. Although Mu Mingtang said that he rarely went out to socialize, Wang An’s position in the capital seemed to be very delicate, but the skinny camel was bigger than Ma, Mu Ming Tang's status is here, and the posts that can be delivered to her will not be bad.

In the past, Mu Mingtang just pushed them all away, not going out. As long as she wants, there are invitations in the concierge for her to choose.

Mu Mingtang's blind date resources are much higher than those of Zhu's family who is a military commander and newcomer. This is undoubtedly great news, and it can be said to be the biggest harvest of this New Year greeting. Although Mrs. Zhu thought about asking Mu Mingtang to introduce someone to her daughter before she went out, she never expected that Mu Mingtang would have such a great affection when she opened her mouth.

As a mother, Mrs. Zhu, let her go to see her son-in-law in person.

Zhu Yuqing is a prostitute, shallow-minded, and directly expressed the surprise. Mrs. Zhu coughed, and Zhu Yuqing barely restrained her face. Mrs. Zhu stared at Zhu Yuqing with a hate for iron and steel, and then thanked Mu Mingtang with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Princess. The little girl is stubborn, and the concubine is very grateful to the princess."

Mu Mingtang also smiled politely: "I wish Mrs. May be polite."

When the female relatives spoke, Xie Xuanchen, Zhu Yanghong, and a few langjun sat with them. Seeing the female relatives talked with joy and laughter, although the man couldn't get in, he looked lively.

In particular, I wish Yang Hong know that Mu Mingtang's move is to pick up his daughters' son-in-law. This is a great favor. I wish Yang Hong very solemnly thanked Mu Mingtang: "I would like to thank Princess An for the end."

"I wish you sir please hurry up, I should thank you for helping Xiangyang."

Zhu Yanghong said: "The last general dare not take credit. The thief who caused the chaos in Xiangyang that year was killed by the prince, and it was the prince's warrant to notify the prince to rescue. Xiangyang is probably due to the prince's credit, and the final will not be enough to eliminate the prince's omissions. ."

At this time Xie Xuanchen answered, "It's your credit, you don't have to reject it. Besides, even if I have merit, I have received the gift now, and it will be boring if I hold on to it."

Thanks? I wish Yang Hong instantly realized that he was really speechless for a while. He couldn't help sighing again, the young man now.

In front of so many people, can you be more restrained?
