Chapter 114(2/2)
Princess Anping is really interesting, she just treats them as a fun thing.
King Zhaoming looked at Mu Tinglan with a little admiration in his eyes. Yuxi Kingdom is a special country, and it is the most equal country between the five countries. It is common for women to lead troops to fight, become officials, and make money to support their families. If you really care about it, men may not have any advantage. Because this situation makes the women in Yuxi Kingdom different from those in other countries.
In the view of King Zhaoming, a woman like Mu Tinglan is very suitable for Yuxi Country.
Master Ruoshui also looked at Mu Tinglan with a look and scrutiny in his eyes. From the first meeting, he knew that Mu Tinglan was not simple.
Ouyang Xiachen and Peng Feilong's eyes flashed.
Mu Tinglan didn't know that she had heard her words, and she didn't care even if she knew it. "But it's still late. Brother, when will we go back?"
"What are Princess Anping and Young Master Mu talking about?" asked the fourth prince, "After that, I heard that Nan Yong has been troubled by natural disasters recently. If the General's Mansion had not responded in time, more people would have suffered. I'm afraid that more people would have suffered. I have heard many people sing praises to the General's Mansion, to the Princess and Young Master Mu along the way."
"Did the Fourth Prince hear it wrong?" Mu Tinglan said, "Why did this princess hear the people's appreciation and gratitude to the emperor. Thanks for the great grace of the emperor that made the Bodhisattva appear. The Fourth Prince, it is wrong to say nonsense."
There was a moment of strange silence in the scene.
The people from the second and third rooms behind him looked at Mu Tinglan's back and malice flashing with sarcasm and malice in watching the show. As for the others, they even scolded Mu Tinglan for being stupid. The fourth prince in the North was at least an envoy of the North and a guest. Can the host say that guest like this? Even if he wanted to express this meaning, there were many other ways, right? Sure enough, it wouldn't be possible without orthodox education. Such rude and direct, stupid, and too stupid.
But Bei'an Ruo was stunned for a moment, but he laughed instead of anger. It surprised that Peng Feilong and Princess Qianqian were a little surprised. When did the Fourth Prince have such a good temper?
"Hahaha, the princess is really interesting, it is deeply attracted by my prince's heart." Bei'an Ruo said with a smile, as if he didn't notice how much shock his words caused. He said again, "That's probably because I heard it wrong, but the princess and Young Master Mu have indeed done a lot for the people. In addition, the general, who is the Nanyong people still doesn't know the General's Mansion."
I want to say that the people will only know the general's mansion in the future but not the emperor?
Many people's expressions have changed. What would they think if this was heard by the emperor? Anyway, if it were the case, they would probably be afraid of the General's Mansion. They felt that the General's Mansion was really powerful and shocked the Lord, and then they had to think of a way to get rid of the General's Mansion.
Bei'anruo is really a murderer without blood.
"The fourth prince's words are unclear." Mu Lingheng said, "Because the emperor's benevolence and virtue, the Bodhisattva appeared, and because of the emperor's benevolence, God arranged for the second prince Changxin Hou to bring back enough seeds, and the General's Mansion successfully cultivated the seeds from the outside world. The emperor's benevolence made Nanyong wholeheartedly, and when one side was in trouble, all directions could help the people in Jiangnan and northwest to be freed from the dire straits. The emperor's grace has already given Nanyong every inch of land. Grandfather and sister are just following the emperor's instructions to do things. The people will only know that the emperor's benevolence is a wise ruler. If they know the general's mansion, it is also because of the emperor."
Therefore, everyone in the world knows that Emperor Nanyong is a wise monarch, and that he has the Bodhisattva’s appearance and blessing from God. Don’t force yourself to make trouble from the general’s mansion.
"It's said well," said the second prince, "The father is wise and kind, and he shows his spirit with the Bodhisattva and blesses God. This is the blessing of my Nanyong and the blessing of the people of Nanyong."
When the second prince said this, someone immediately agreed. After that, apart from the envoys of the four countries, Nan Yongren knelt down and shouted long live the emperor in the direction of the imperial study, which made Bei'an Ruo and others a little confused.
After leaving Wenxuan Palace, Mu Tinglan finally couldn't help laughing out loud. Thinking of the expressions of Bai'an Ruo and others just now, she found it funny.
"The princess is very happy?"
A voice suddenly came, and Mu Tinglan felt alert in her heart, but she quickly let it go again. When she looked back, she saw that the person coming was Gu Heng.
Gu Heng was dressed in a very formal government, which made him look much more serious, but his posture was casual. Well, this was just what Mu Tinglan thought herself. She didn't think Gu Heng was very serious.
"I'm a little happy." Mu Tinglan said, "The Fourth Prince of the North has sinister intentions, but unfortunately he didn't succeed."
Didn't succeed? The dark light flowed through Gu Heng's eyes, "The princess doesn't seem to be afraid that the emperor will know."
In fact, Mu Tinglan's arrogance in front of the imperial study was already very strange. Isn't Mu Tinglan afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied with the General's Mansion? Moreover, it seems that General Mu did not punish Mu Tinglan before knowing this. Some people say that General Mu is too unprincipled to pledge Mu Tinglan, so no matter what Mu Tinglan did, General Mu would be reluctant to punish Mu Tinglan.
But in his opinion, this is the confidence of the General's Mansion, the confidence of General Mu, and the confidence of General Mu in the emperor. Of course, isn't it the confidence of the General's Mansion?
But is this possible? All the incumbents are suspicious, and it is really a minority who can trust someone so much, let alone this person is a famous general with countless military achievements. It is not wrong to say that he has made great achievements to shock the master.
"It doesn't matter if the emperor knows it. How could the emperor's wise mind, how could he not see that this is a provocation in the northern border?" Mu Tinglan said with a smile. Perhaps Emperor Jiaxuan would also suspect that this is the fault of every superior, and he is suspicious. But Emperor Jiaxuan is not a fool. If he is provoked and discord easily, he would not have the current general's mansion.
Gu Heng cannot deny it. Emperor Jiaxuan is naturally not stupid, but it is hard to predict, right?
"What do the princess have to think about this visit from the Four Kingdoms?" Gu Heng changed the topic.
"What do you think? They are here to celebrate the emperor's birthday. What they do secretly should be the emperor and the ministers' affairs." Mu Tinglan said, "Oh, and it's the second prince and the others."
The envoys of Wuzhen Kingdom and the Western Chu came early, the second and third princes and fifth princes had already been in contact, and the northern border and Yuxi came late, and the second princes and the others would probably have actions tomorrow. What she had to do was just to make the third prince unable to get it well this time.
A smile flashed in Gu Heng's eyes, knowing that Mu Tinglan still wanted to continue staring at the third prince. Speaking of which, the third prince was a little unlucky. How energetic he had before? He was always at the forefront in this undercurrent, and was evenly matched with the second prince, but the fifth prince was a little behind.
However, as soon as Mu Tinglan appeared, the third prince was confined and suspected. Even after re-calling, he got rid of the suspicion, but who knew that Emperor Jiaxuan still had doubts about the third prince, and then there was the official silver case. Although the second prince suffered heavy losses in this matter, the worst was the third prince. Many people and many things had to be re-arranged. Now it is a cheaper fifth prince.
But from now on, although the fifth prince also wants to fight, he doesn't seem to have a strong idea. Otherwise, he should have made some moves and emerge as soon as he comes back. But he did nothing, just to put down the wrongs when he meets the second prince and the fifth prince. Of course, this is a very wise approach, but it is not necessary to do nothing. At least, he should do something to make himself more favored in front of Emperor Jiaxuan.
"What the princess is saying," Gu Heng said, "The night dew is deep, so the princess should go back early and the official will leave." After that, Gong bowed and turned around and left.
Mu Tinglan looked at Gu Heng's back with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't understand what Gu Heng was coming this time. What he said seemed to have not said anything. She was about to go back to Wenxuan Palace, but something suddenly fell to her feet. Mo Xiang behind her had already heard the movement and was about to protect her. Seeing that it was a piece of paper, she looked around with some vigilance and picked up the piece of paper.
"Miss." Mo Xiang made sure there was nothing dangerous in the paper ball, and then handed the paper ball to Mu Tinglan.
Mu Tinglan opened the paper ball and looked at it, then smiled, but the smile was slightly cold.
"Is there anything wrong with the princess?" Gu Heng returned.
Although he had just walked away, Chuan Heng was secretly protecting him. Chuan Heng naturally heard the movement here, and then reminded Gu Heng. However, Gu Heng did not return immediately, but waited for a while before coming.
Mu Tinglan was slightly stunned. Looking at Gu Heng who had returned, blinked his eyes, and then a smile suddenly exploded. The smile was like the flashes of cereus spreading in the darkness, beautiful and charming, but the smile was fleeting, making Gu Heng a little dazed. When he looked again, the smile was still the same, but the taste changed a little. He always felt that this smile was like a cunning fox was about to plot against something.
In Xunyang Hall not far from Wenxuan Hall, a figure walked over from far to near. Looking at the figure and clothes on her body, it was clearly a woman. After the woman arrived at the side hall of Xunyang Hall, she stood still, looked around and then opened the door and walked in in the darkness. Finally, she closed the door. Soon after, a shameful whisper rang out.
On the other side, not far from the other direction of Wenxuan Palace is a small garden. This kind of small garden is not common in Nanyong Palace. Although the scenery of the imperial garden is good, sometimes you will inevitably encounter people you don’t like. So there are such small gardens in major palaces, but that kind of small garden is just planted in flower pots and pieces together. There are really not many small gardens that really allow flowers and plants to grow in the land.
After all, it would be a bit troublesome to care for, and it was laborious. I heard that the founding queen of Nanyong was very frugal, and there were really not many people in the palace at that time. But I also heard that the founding queen was very generous and generous, because the palace she lived in had a large garden, which was more beautiful than the Royal Garden.
However, this big garden was destroyed in a rebellion in later generations and no longer existed.
This small garden can also be said to be a big garden. Although it is not as good as the Imperial Garden, the scenery is also very good. There is a man-digged lake, a rockery by the lake, flowers, plants and trees, and a small pavilion stretching into the lake. I think if I rest in the small pavilion in summer, it will definitely be very cool.
The night is already a little deeper now, and the small garden is also very quiet, and the moonlight is scattered on the water surface. In this quiet environment, a figure suddenly walked towards the water pavilion, looking at a woman, wearing a pink dress, and the stroll on her head swayed slightly while walking, the accessories on her body made a crisp sound.
The woman stayed in the water pavilion for a while, and another figure came from a distance. The figure was a little tall. When he saw the woman in the water pavilion, his eyes flashed slightly, but he walked towards the woman without stopping. However, when the two of them were facing each other, they were stunned.
"Why are you?" The woman's voice was a little sharp, cutting through the quietness.
"Why are you here?" The man's voice almost rang with the woman, but after a while he reacted and turned around and was about to leave.
It was at this time that the group walked towards the small garden. When the people saw the people in Shuixili seemed very excited, they quickly walked towards Shuixili, and naturally the people behind them were also together. But when they saw who the people in Shuixili were, the people behind were a little surprised.
The people in the water siege were Zheng Qiusu and Qi Yuan.
These are two very surprising people. These two people are considered to be somewhat related. Zheng Qiusu is the concubine of the Zheng family and has to call Zheng "Auntie", while Qi Yuan is the daughter of Zheng's sister-in-law. Although she is not related by blood, she is also a common relative. But these two people are not in a big deal, right?
Zheng Qiusu is just a concubine daughter. Although she often comes out with Zheng Qiulian, she doesn’t have much contact with Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan will not take such a concubine daughter seriously. She just has a better relationship with Zheng Qiulian and Zheng Qiuyun.
But now these two people are together. In such an environment, people really have to think a little more. Looking at Qi Yuan and Zheng Qiusu's eyes were full of deep meaning.
Qi Yuan and Zheng Qiusu naturally saw the reactions of everyone. Both of them were a little anxious. Zheng Qiusu blurted out directly, "It's not what you saw. I just came here to see the scenery. I happened to run into Mr. Qi."
Hearing Zheng Qiusu say this, Qi Yuan almost turned around and strangled her to death. Isn’t this Wuyin here? It turns out that he is a concubine who can’t get on the table.
Sure enough, when everyone's eyes became even more ambiguous when they heard Zheng Qiusu's words.
"Miss Zheng doesn't have to be so nervous, we naturally know." Someone said this. Looking at it, it was clearly Yan Yonghong, the second son of the Yan family. Although he had not entered the officialdom, he was also the family of Changxin Hou and donated a lot of silver before, so it was not surprising that he attended the dust banquet.
"Yan Yonghong, what were you talking about?" Qi Yuan said anxiously. Isn't Yan Yonghong going to misunderstand? Which side is this guy from?
Yan Yonghong said that of course he is from the second prince.
In fact, the relationship between them is complicated. The Zheng family supports the third prince. On the surface, Mu Zishu relies on the second prince and even let Mu Yaoguang and Yan Yonghong get engaged. However, the Qi family is also from the third prince. The Mu Zishu family did not alienate the Zheng family and Qi family because of this. Instead, the relationship is still very close, making people unable to see what Mu Zishu's plan is.
