”Mme Marquis Wen?!” A lady crept up to greet her.
”You are?”
Seeing that her actions were not as strict as that of a noble's, she was sure that she was the wife of a martial general. Who knew which one, Mu Rousang's mind was in a mess, but he did not realise that he had an impression of her.
”My dear sir, my husband's surname is Guo. He is the commander of our family!”
The wife of a third rank official? Mu Rousang's heart was filled with doubts, but she still continued to smile: I've seen you, Madam envoy, so please take a seat.
Guo Qing was about forty years old, but unlike the noble madams in the capital, she was slightly older. Of course, this was only when compared to the noble madams, but in reality, she still looked a little younger.
”Then I won't be polite. On the Winter Solstice, my husband said that he met you on the main street. He never thought that Mme Marquis Wen would be so young.”
Mu Rousang laughed: ”So it turns out that the one we met that day was Guo Gang's envoy! I was rude. ”
Please forgive me, Madam Hou. My husband has been in the army camp all year round and has a reckless personality.
The Guo affair made Madame seem straightforward.
Mu Rousang then continued: ”It's good that you're here, Guo Tie is a straightforward person. When I was at the Duke Palaces, I heard my mother mention this from time to time.”
”Oh, Princess Chung, you said that I haven't seen her here today.”
It was clear that this lady had never heard of Prince Zhong's Mansion's matters before, once she said these words, someone on the side started to ask about Mu Rousang's matters.
”Why? So you have a younger cousin?”
The Guo Family's matter caused the Madam's eyes to brighten up, and she continued: Seeing Madam Hou's lovely appearance, that cousin of yours is definitely not far off, Madam Hou doesn't know, that the three kids in my family are now not big generals, and yet he married a young lady from a scholar's family, saying that she was a good teacher, and that her every move was the style that a lady from a noble family would have, my husband said, that I should send him to study literature, which martial arts person would be so obedient!
Uh!
Mu Rousang's head was covered with black lines. She imagined Mu Fengchai standing together with the tall and sturdy general together, looking like a little bird that was willing to die to one side, giving off the impression of a beauty or a wild beast!
”That, my cousin …”
”The lights are on, the lights are on!” Someone shouted.
It turned out that Empress Dowager had already given the orders to light the lamps, and because he was afraid that the wives and families of these ministers wouldn't feel comfortable, she had already invited Princess Huaiqing back to her own palace.
”Little sister, let's go and take a look at the lights!” Princess Jing'an walked over with a smile.
”Eh, this lady is?”
She found herself in the position of a relatively large lady.
Mu Rousang immediately introduced the two of them to each other. With regards to Guo Ke's matter, Madam Ye was very interesting, hence he quickly withdrew himself and thanked the two of them for inviting him to view the lanterns.
”What makes you so happy?”
After Madame left, the two walked side by side. There was only one Aunt Liu behind Mu Rousang, and the lass beside him could not enter the palace.
The Princess Jing'an didn't answer her first. Instead, she turned to Aunt Liu and said, ”The empress dowager brought you up today, saying that since you left the palace, you've never had the chance to eat the lotus flower cake again. You should take a look at her when you have time!”
Mu Rousang quickly replied: ”You go ahead first, I'm with my sister-in-law, you can rest assured.”
”How can I not take good care of my sister? Hurry up and go!”
Princess Jing'an waved her hand impatiently. Who asked him to be a son of the royal family?
”Let's go too. Look, there's a bunch of people here. We can't properly appreciate the lights. Let's find another quiet place!”
Mu Rousang sent Aunt Liu alone to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, who told him that the Aunt Liu was once a servant in front of the Empress Dowager.
The group followed the stream of people, and before they knew it, the sky had turned completely dark.
The two of them smiled bitterly as they stood on the wrong side of the imperial garden. How was this an imperial palace of the imperial palace of the imperial palace? It was as crowded as the main street.
Under the dark sky, a small snow slowly began to fall. It floated gently and floated in the air, like a sea of lights flickering with starlight. Mu Rousang tightened the hood on her body, and looked at the various lanterns around him with a joyful expression.
”I still remember when we were in Shu City, this was the first time we went to visit such a lively lantern festival, and this is the second time we have seen such a lively lantern festival since we were born.”
Princess Jing'an had long hated these lamps, but she was afraid that the ladies would surround them and talk about them non-stop, it was really tiring, so she pulled Mu Rousang over to watch the lantern festival.
