The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Light, morning light.

A beam of dazzling light shone into the house from the cracks in the window. Under the light, countless dust and smoke fluttered in the air, jumping silently, until the sun filled the entire house, and their shadows disappeared...

Hong Yin outside the house was anxious. Prince Cheng was coming today, and in order to bring this together, the Queen Mother almost offended the Emperor. Yesterday, Prince Yan also said he wanted to stay at the mansion, but fortunately he didn't come.

Jiang had already instructed the girls and concubines in each courtyard to get up early and wash and dress themselves. Biqing and Feiyan were also called over to help, leaving only Hongyin.

But this fifth girl is a sleepyhead. It is very difficult to get her to wake up early. If she goes to bed late, it will be even more difficult to get up.

Last night, Mu Lanfeng said that he wanted to sleep alone and there was no need for him to keep watch, and he even locked the door from the inside.

I've knocked on the door twice, and the person inside just answered once and then there was no more movement.

What Hong Yin feared was Mu Lanfeng's eyes. Those sharp gazes seemed to be able to see through all the secrets in the world and leave no place for any villain to hide.

Another cup of tea passed and there was still no movement in the house.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Hong Yin knocked on the door again.

This time, there was no sound at all in the house, not even the initial response.

Hongyin sighed helplessly. The water for washing had already gone cold and she had to take it back and heat it up again.

When he came back again, the door was open and Mu Lanfeng was sitting in front of the dressing table. It was already dawn when Li Zeqi left. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep immediately and it has been less than an hour since then.

Her eyes were sleepy, her gaze was unfocused, her hair was disheveled, and the hair hanging down from her temples covered half of her face, but it did not affect her from staring blankly there.

Hong Yin placed the hot water on the dressing table, put down the handkerchief casually, and after soaking it in the hot water, she wrung out the excess water on the handkerchief and handed it to Mu Lanfeng.

Mu Lanfeng took the handkerchief woodenly, wiped his face, and handed it back to Hong Yin.

Hong Yin knew that Mu Lanfeng was still asleep and this state would probably last for about a cup of tea before he would wake up.

"Miss, you didn't eat anything last night. Do you want to eat something now? There is some porridge cooked in the small kitchen, and some refreshing side dishes we made ourselves."

"Yeah!" Mu Lanfeng nodded blankly, and then there was no other movement.

"Then I'll go get it for you after I finish helping you with your makeup!"

Mu Lanfeng had an expression that said "whatever you say is fine", just like a puppet, she moves whenever Hong Yin moves...

"King Cheng is coming today!" Hong Yin reminded, "Miss, do you want to have an exquisite and beautiful hairstyle?"

Mu Lanfeng trembled all over, as if waking up from a dream, and immediately changed his expression, "That's Mu Baiying's cup of tea, why should I dress up so beautifully? Then she will say that I stole her limelight. Just wear your usual hairstyle!"

She is now completely sober!

Humph! She didn't need to do anything. Someone would naturally make trouble for Jiang. This move had already been made. She only needed to watch the fun from the sidelines.

"No need to dress up, this is fine!" Mu Lanfeng combed her hair, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and felt quite satisfied.

Hongyin nodded, put down the wooden comb, and went out with the water for washing.

After breakfast, people from each courtyard went to the front hall one after another to wait for King Cheng's arrival, while Mu Xun and others had to wait outside the Mu Mansion.

The prince's marriage to a high-ranking minister in the court was tacitly approved by the emperor.

It was almost the 9th hour, but there was still no sign of King Cheng.

Today, Mu Baiying is dressed in white, her skin is whiter than snow, her eyes are like water, her eyebrows are moving, and her gaze is radiant. She has an outstanding figure, a graceful figure, and a beautiful appearance. She exudes a noble and unique temperament, like a solitary bright moon, cold and arrogant, and not worldly. Just one glance at her can make people feel ashamed of themselves.

The dress is appropriate, not worldly, but still has a touch of fireworks! !

Looking at Mu Hongliao behind him, Mu Lanfeng thought for a long time and could only use the word "gaudy" to describe her. Wearing unnecessary jewelry would only make people feel tacky.

The most terrible thing is the hair accessories and earrings she wears, golden-winged hairpins, oriental pearl earrings,...

These were the ones that Mu Hongliao exchanged with Mu Lanfeng that day. I didn't expect that she would wear them on her head so soon.

It's really a life-threatening thing!

Behind her was Mu Lanxue. She was a girl raised by her aunt and was excluded everywhere, so she stood a little further back than Mu Hongliao. Her outfit was no different from usual, except that her makeup was much more refined than usual.

Mu Lanfeng seldom comes to the front hall of the Mu Mansion. The front hall is very large, with vermilion carpets on the floor. The furniture in the hall is all made of rosewood, and one can smell a faint wood fragrance when approaching.

Rosewood is an extremely precious wood, and only families like the Mu family are qualified to use it.

At three quarters past the hour of the sih, King Cheng finally arrived.

Everyone bowed to each other, and Mu Lanfeng mixed in the crowd, following behind others in a dull manner, imitating them.

King Cheng seemed to like the color yellow. He was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, which made him particularly dazzling in the crowd. The six-clawed golden dragon on the robe was baring its fangs and claws. His posture was elegant and noble, and he looked superior and nonchalant.

His gaze fell on Mu Baiying and never moved away. There was a half-smile on his brow and he looked nonchalant, but the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

"It is said that the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Mu's family is as graceful as a lotus emerging from the water. Today, I see that she is indeed as good as her reputation says. She is even prettier than the rumors said. She will definitely be a virtuous and good wife in the future."

It was not only words to win over Prime Minister Mu, but also the truth in his heart.

"Baiying thanks His Royal Highness King Cheng for the compliment. Your Highness is too kind!" Mu Baiying smiled slightly, bowed, and maintained her dignified ladylike appearance.

Mu Hongliao stood behind Mu Baiying. Her gorgeous dress attracted a lot of attention. She also moved forward intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was afraid that King Cheng couldn't see her.

Finally, she succeeded in attracting Li Shanglu's attention. He frowned slightly, looked her up and down, frowned, and said with a wicked smile, "What are you wearing? Are you wearing this golden-winged phoenix hairpin?"

After hearing what Li Shanglu said, everyone's eyes turned to Mu Hongliao.

Mu Hongliao's face turned blue and red, and she wished she could dig a big hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Jiang took a look and saw that Mu Hongliao was very angry. She was busy taking care of her biological daughter in the morning and forgot about her concubine's daughter. Mu Hongliao's clothes were all given to Mu Lanfeng that day, especially the hairpin. She was afraid that Mu Lanfeng would notice the clue, so she deliberately put it at the bottom.

How did it end up on her head?

Mu Baiying on the side was so angry that her teeth were itching. She wanted to throw Mu Hongliao out right away because someone dared to ruin her good deeds.

Although she may not like the person in front of her!

But she still had to cover up for Mu Hongliao, and she would settle the score with her after today.

"Your Highness Prince Cheng, please forgive me. My fourth sister is young and doesn't know the rules. I, as her elder sister, did not teach her well. If Your Highness wants to punish someone, please punish me. I am willing to take the punishment on behalf of my fourth sister!" Mu Baiying lowered her head, looking so pitiful that I felt even more sorry for her.

Mu Hongliao still didn't know what she had done wrong. She just thought that King Cheng didn't like the way she dressed. Why did her elder sister mention punishment?
