Xuanyuan Haoling lay beside Yu Manman's portrait, stood quietly for a long time, and then secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Raising his head to look at the lush vines in the portrait, a pair of bright apricot eyes like a galaxy couldn't help but be tender, and said softly:

"Man'er, you have to wait for me, I will bring someone to look for you in a moment, and then I will take you home. ”

Yu Manman in the portrait still looked into the distance with a cold expression, as if he ignored Xuanyuan Haoling's words.

Xuanyuan Haoling glanced at the portrait affectionately, and then turned around and opened the door.

arranged for Mu Bing and Mu Fu to pack their luggage, and then walked towards Xuanyuan Chen's dormitory.

In the Chen'an Temple

The emperor and queen sat opposite each other, and after Xuanyuan Chen listened to the queen's words, he couldn't help but fall into silence.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Chen had not spoken, the queen couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, so she couldn't help but tentatively speak:

"Your Majesty, the marriage between Mu'er and Ling'er that the concubine just told you depends on the matter between you......"

The queen wanted to speak and stopped, and when she heard this, Xuanyuan Chen couldn't help but raise her head.

picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then said unhurriedly:

"Well, between the second child and Mu Yatou, it's time to have a result. ”

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then continued:

"Yes, Your Majesty, you also watched Mu'er grow up since she was a child, her temperament and knowledge are obvious to all, marrying Ling Er is a match made in heaven. ”

"What you said makes sense, but I have already given Yu Manman to the second child to be the crown princess, how can I let Mu Yatou marry the second child? Could it be that you and your brother are still willing to wronged her to be a concubine?" Xuanyuan Chen pretended to frown.

Seeing this, the smile on the queen's face couldn't help but stiffen, lowered her head, turned her eyes around, and then cautiously spoke:

"Your Majesty, now that Ling Er is not here, let's just tell you about the two concubines of our husband and wife, the concubines have always been dissatisfied with that Yu Manman, and always feel that she is only knowledgeable, and her behavior is vulgar and difficult to be elegant. ”

"Ling Er is the crown prince who is high, the future emperor of Beichen, of course there must be a gentle and virtuous lady by his side, and the queen who is knowledgeable is, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss of face for Ling Er?"

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen couldn't help but chuckle, glanced at the queen, and then smiled:

"You've only met that Yu Manman a few times, how do you know that she behaves rudely and is difficult to be elegant?"

"Your Majesty, do you still want the concubine to see her? As we all know, her biological mother died when she was a child, and then she was left alone by Yu Xinxun in the north courtyard, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid she doesn't even know the basic female virtues. The queen's eyes were full of disdain.

Seeing this, a light chuckle of unknown meaning slipped across Xuanyuan Chen's face, and he was noncommittal to what the queen said, and after drinking the water in the teacup, he smacked his lips and said:

"But don't forget, she later asked Yu Xin to ask her husband to study, and it is said that she learned well, and compared Yu Feifei, who is known as the first talented woman in the capital. ”

"So what? Maybe it's just a coincidence, it's just luck, Bengong won't believe that she can beat Mu'er after only a few months of study. The queen couldn't help but pout.

Hearing this, a sneer slipped through Xuanyuan Chen's eyes, and he looked at the queen and shook her head disapprovingly:

"What you said may be so, but behind her stands the General's Mansion, you should know what Xu Ruohong means to Beichen, what can Mu Yatou do if she is always from your Hou Mansion?

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen say that the Hou Mansion was no match for the General's Mansion, a trace of embarrassment couldn't help but appear on his face, and he said in a rather unhappy tone:

"Even if the prestige of the General's Mansion is better than that of the Hou Mansion, what can it be? But Xu Ruohong is old after all, and those outstanding feats have also become a thing of the past, and it is not certain who will not be able to compare with anyone in the future. ”

Xuanyuan Chen listened to the queen quietly, his eyes were already cold, and he stared at the queen coldly and said in a deep voice:

"Even though the general is older and less powerful than in previous years, his position will still be more stable than that of the Hou Mansion, and you can't be presumptuous in my face!"

Hearing this, the queen's face changed, and she knelt on the ground and said to Xuanyuan Chen:

"The concubine knows her mistake, the concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine doesn't choose to say anything for a while, please forgive the emperor!"

"Hmph, you and I have been married for more than 20 years, and you are the mother of the country in Beichen, you must not be as casual and presumptuous as Fang Cai, otherwise I will have to consider whether you are suitable for the position of the Middle Palace!"

When the queen heard the faint threat in Xuanyuan Chen's words, her back was already covered with dense cold sweat, and she knelt on the ground in a proper manner and nodded busily:

"Yes, yes, the concubine knows. ”

"Get up, people who are dozens of years old are still so indiscriminate in their speech, it seems that you have been living too comfortably these years. Xuanyuan Chen's face was full of dissatisfaction.

The queen stood tremblingly in place, lowered her head and listened silently to Xuanyuan Chen's counting, her face was full of embarrassment when she lowered her head, she bit her lip tightly, and did not dare to respond to Xuanyuan Chen.

After Xuanyuan Chen counted the queen, the dissatisfaction on his face dissipated a little, and he glared coldly at the trembling queen, and then said in a deep voice:

"I will consider the matter of the second child and Mu Yatou, but the marriage between Yu Manman and the second child has been decided by me a long time ago, and I can't offend the general's mansion. ”

Hearing this, the queen hurriedly raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Chen's cautious opening:

"Your Majesty, but that Yu Manman has been missing in Xueluo for two months, and now I don't know if she is alive or dead, if she has not been found, then the marriage between Ling'er and Mu'er ......"

"I don't believe that a person will disappear out of thin air, since I have promised the general, I will definitely help him find Yu Manman, no matter whether Yu Manman is alive or dead, then he must live to see people, and die to see corpses!" Xuanyuan Chen's tone was resolute.

Seeing this, the queen opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she was glared at by Xuanyuan Chen's gaze and swallowed back the words on her lips.

Xuanyuan Chen saw that the queen didn't say more, and the expression on his face was not as serious as before, and he poured another cup of tea and took a sigh of relief, and then slowly spoke:

"However, between Ling Er and Mu Yatou, dragging is not a problem, I will find a way to solve it. ”

When the queen heard this, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she nodded busily and said:

"What you said is that Mu'er is twenty years old this year, and there are few girls in the capital who are as old as her, so there is no result between Ling'er and Ling Er, and I am afraid that people will criticize it if it is spread out. ”

"Criticized?" Xuanyuan Chen read softly, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the queen with an inconspicuous expression:

"Yes, if you don't solve the matter between her and the second child, I'm afraid it will be criticized. ”

The queen couldn't understand the meaning of Xuanyuan Chen's words, but thought that the emperor had promised to settle the marriage between the two, so she nodded busily, and a bright smile appeared on her face with thick makeup.
