Chapter 590: It's a Boat Play
What is the origin of that maid, is it His Highness's new favorite? Look at the way he just helped her down, it didn't look like he was helping a maid, but like a princess. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But these guards didn't dare to talk casually, and when they saw it, they pretended not to see it.
Mu Ze was walking with Yuan Jinyu on the bank of Weishui at this moment, there was a high embankment under their feet, and in the distance, it was the piece that Mu Ze blew up and rebuilt before.
When the embankment was repaired, the capital encountered a big plum rainy season, the Weishui was always rising, and the other embankments were showing some signs of erosion, but the embankment was always as strong as ever.
Therefore, after the rainy season passed, the Ministry of Industry organized people to renovate the other embankments little by little according to the principle of the embankment. The project is huge, and when it was completed, Yuan Jinyu is not very clear.
But now that she is looking at the Weishui embankment, she suddenly has a feeling that this embankment has lasted for thousands of years, and it should not be a problem.
The wind on the bank of the Weishui River is a little strong, and Yuan Jinyu is combing her sideburns at the moment, as if she has not been married before. Her black hair fluttered in the air, and her little face was a little white from the wind.
Mu Ze wanted to take off his coat and give it to her, but was stopped by Yuan Jinyu.
Although she is Princess Ning and is not prepared to hide it from anyone, she still has to give the emperor some face, where can Mu Ze be considerate to a maid.
So she just tugged at Mu Ze's sleeve: "It's very hot at this time, and the wind is quite light and refreshing, not cold, Brother Jiu doesn't need to give it to me." But if you look at this Weishui, it's really magnificent. ”
In the early years, Weishui was not so magnificent, and when there was no country of Great Zhou, there was a faint monarch in this Central Plains. If it is rumored that Mu Ze has a tyrannical temperament, that tyrant is a hundred times worse than Mu Ze.
And it was he who used a lot of manpower and material resources to dredge the Weishui River, from the capital directly to the south of the Yangtze River, so I don't know how many white bones are buried at the bottom of the Weishui River.
But it has to be said that the tyrant at that time may have been on a whim, just for his temporary fun, but because the river was dredged, the land on both sides of the Weishui River has rarely been affected for so many years.
Nowadays, the construction of dikes and reservoirs has benefited many people, so unless it is really a big water that is rare in a century, it will have some impact.
Yuan Jinyu said these thoughts to Mu Ze, and also sighed with some emotion: "The evil things at the beginning have benefited future generations for so many years, and I don't know how to praise them." ”
This was a very difficult choice, but Yuan Jinyu still turned his head and asked Mu Ze: "If it were the ninth brother, how would you choose?" ”
Knowing that she was asking whether she would choose to dredge the river at the expense of the people, Mu Ze thought about it and shook his head: "If it was because of his own fun, he would definitely not do this, but now the people of Dazhou have seen the benefits of the Weishui River being dredged for so many years, so every year the government organizes the people to dredge the river." There is no limit to manpower, as long as you want to do it, even if it takes more time, you can do it. ”
Yuan Jinyu just smiled slightly, and suddenly felt that if Mu Ze became the emperor, he should also be a generation of Ming Jun.
But she didn't ask this question again. Because she clearly knew that as long as Mu Ling was still there, Mu Ze would not compete with him for the throne.
Before, the two brothers had a dislike for themselves, but now they have married Mu Ze, and Mu Ling has also put down these things, and Mu Ze has no need to fight anymore.
Time passed slowly, and seeing that the time to board the ship was coming to an end, Mu Ze really didn't want Yuan Jinyu to blow the wind again, so he pulled her on the big boat.
This boat is different from the painting boats that Yuan Jinyu sat on before, Mu Ze said that the silver money for the annual maintenance of this boat is enough to feed many people, but since it was built, it has not been used a few times.
Yuan Jinyu looked at this hundred-foot-long ship and could feel how heavy the hull was. At this moment she was standing at the stern of the boat, because there was a cabin in the way, and she could not see the bow of the boat.
But on the high platform near the mast, there were already a few men standing, and Yuan Jinyu looked at the back and knew that it should be a few princes.
This time to go to Jiangnan, for these princes, the meaning is also extremely unusual. The power in Jiangnan is what they must fight for.
And to fight for power, you can't do too much, otherwise in the eyes of the emperor, it will be a party for personal gain.
So this trip to Jiangnan, on the surface, looks calm, but it is like Weishui today, deep.
She withdrew her gaze from the princes, and began to look at the decorations on the ship again, and then sighed: "If it is really royal, it deserves a few words of wealth and wealth." ”
Such a big ship, coupled with such luxurious decoration, poured out all the belongings of Yuze's shop, and it is estimated that it can barely support it for half a year, but the royal family can support it for decades.
Mu Ze smiled at Yuan Jinyu: "Wealthy? This is the first time this king has heard of this word to describe the royal family, but Jinyu, you are also a royal person now, and you deserve these four words. ”
Yuan Jinyu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Lord Wang, you are laughing, Xiaojin is just a little maid now." ”
Mu Ze stretched out his hand to Jinyu, his fingers were slender, and the corners of his mouth were smiling: "Come, let this king see this king's little maid." ”
Yuan Jinyu turned his head: "I don't want you to see it." ”
"Okay, the little maid still dares to play with this king?" Although Mu Ze said this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
Yuan Jinyu covered his mouth and smiled, turned his head, and the light in his eyes seemed to be magnificently with the waves of Weishui: "The slave and maid will play music with you, the prince!" ”
Looking at Yuan Jinyu's little smug appearance, Mu Ze only felt that the tip of his heart was itching. I wanted to hug her into my arms and love her, but after all, it was on the ship, and there were so many guards around, it was really not good for him to pull and pull with the little maid, so he could only give up.
The dinner was served with the emperor, and several other princes and Shen Guifei also accompanied him. Most of the royal banquets were very boring, and Yuan Jinyu didn't like to participate in them before, so Mu Ze simply left her in his cabin this time and went to the main cabin alone.
At this moment, the lights in the main cabin are bright, because the ship is huge, and it moves smoothly on the Weishui River, except for the occasional sound of flowing water, the shaking of the ship is not felt at all.
At this moment, both the emperor and Shen Guifei have already changed into regular clothes, but even so, the materials of the clothes on their bodies are also extravagant, and they are not something that ordinary people can afford to wear.
The emperor was already close to the main cabin, so he came earlier than everyone else, and when several princes arrived, the banquet began.
Because of the emperor's travel, the Ministry of Rites spent a lot of thought, and even selected a place to enjoy the scenery along the way.
But now after all, it has only been a long time since they left the capital, and the people on this big ship are still very simple, not to mention any singing and dancing.
Shen Guifei sat on the side, smiling gently and virtuously, but the ruthlessness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
The emperor must have some other thoughts when he took these princes on a trip this time. Mu Ze didn't say it, he came to protect the emperor.
And his own Mu Zhao has one more advantage over other princes, that is, as Mu Zhao's mother, she is the only woman the emperor has brought on this trip, and she must accompany her at any time in the past few months.
Although she is not idle, Shen Guifei's heart is extremely smooth when she thinks of the grieving appearance of those women in the palace now.
Because she was in a happy mood, she was very considerate when she served the emperor for dinner.
The other princes sat down, not close to the emperor, but not far away, among the princes, only Mu Zhao was the youngest, so he would occasionally talk, making the emperor laugh happily.
This is also what Shen Guifei told him. Since he is young, he has to take advantage of this. The emperor must not like Mu Zhao at a young age, so he became as lifeless as Mu Ze.
The emperor laughed twice, took Shen Guifei's warm wine, took a sip, and squinted his eyes comfortably: "The scenery above this Weishui is really good." ”
Mu Zhao answered on the side: "What my father said is right, especially on this big ship, Erchen looked at the scenery in the distance and felt that his heart was stirring. ”
Mu Ling and Mu Que occasionally had to make a peace, but Mu Ze didn't talk much.
The emperor couldn't help but turn the conversation to Mu Ze's body and asked, "Lao Jiu is not feeling well?" Why the silence? ”
Mu Ze has always paid attention to the movements of other people, and when he heard the emperor talking to him, he looked at his mouth shape for a long time before he replied respectfully: "It's not uncomfortable, it's ashamed to say that when the ministers attend the banquet, it has always been like this." I also thought about getting closer to other brothers, but because of my temperament, it never went well. ”
The emperor sighed lightly: "Alas, it's not your fault, it's always difficult to change people's temperament." Anyway, several of your brothers are on the ship, and the ship is not docked during this time, so you can also learn more and strengthen your relationship. ”
Mu Que seemed to sigh with emotion: "It seems that since the school, I haven't gotten along with other brothers like this, and I really miss it." The son thanked his father for providing us with such an opportunity, and I would like to give you a drink. ”
The emperor raised his glass, exchanged a glass with Mu Que from afar, and then drank it all, obviously in a very good mood.
With Mu Que opening his mouth, several other princes also saluted the emperor's wine, and one said it more beautifully than the other. When I got to Mu Ze, it was a little boring.
He is not the kind of man who can play tricks, but just a few very simple words made the emperor so happy that he drank three glasses in a row.
In the end, it was Shen Guifei who came forward and smiled coquettishly at several princes: "Look at you, you are not allowed to rely on your father and emperor to favor you, just persuade you to drink, the emperor is not in good health." ”
Several princes apologized one after another, and the atmosphere became lively for a while.
Mu Ze looked at the princes beside him, although when he smiled, he felt like a spring breeze, but only they knew whether they were happy in their hearts.
The emperor also seemed to know that he was not in good health, so he didn't drink again in the end.
