Chapter 223: Borrowing a Step to Speak
"County Lord, can you take a step to speak?" Mu Cong's expression was a little anxious, as if he didn't want Tao Yao to misunderstand.
Tao Yao chuckled and glanced at Mu Cong, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, eldest prince, I don't think I have anything to say to the eldest prince alone." If the eldest prince has anything, just say it here. After all, the people of my Northwest Royal Mansion have always done things above board. ”
Mu Cong's face was very ugly, he glanced at the hall inside, and then said to Tao Yao as if he had made up his mind: "The stakes are very high, and I would like to ask the county lord to take a step to speak." ”
Tao Yao looked at Mu Cong suspiciously, and suddenly smiled with a realized smile: "The eldest prince doesn't want to say something related to Tao Wan's affairs. If that's the case, the eldest prince should tell my third aunt. After all, my third aunt is the elder. Tao Yao is young and doesn't understand anything. If you do something wrong, I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to my third aunt when I go home. ”
The Zhou family over there wanted to rush in to see what happened to Tao Wan as soon as Mu Cong came out, but he still didn't go, because Mu Cong was here, he didn't know how Mu Cong arranged the next thing, even if it was a bold woman like Zhou, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Mu Cong took a deep breath, and said with a bit of solemnity in his eyebrows: "Although the third lady is an elder, her identity is not enough. This matter must be discussed with the county lord. ”
Tao Yao frowned: "Then there is also Kong Gongzi." Kong Gongzi is Tao Wan's husband, and he was married by the emperor. No matter what the eldest prince wants to do with Tao Wan, he always has to inform Gongzi Kong. ”
Kong Nian, who was suddenly named, had a bad premonition in his heart, this eldest prince looked polite, but he was just as ruthless as he was in life and in doing things.
If I spoil his good things this time, I'm afraid that the next thing will be pitiful.
Kong Nian, who knew Mu Cong very well, hurriedly smiled at Tao Yao and said, "The county lord is serious. This matter, but it is up to His Royal Highness the Great Prince to decide. Mu Cong had no complaints. ”
Obviously, Mu Cong was very satisfied with Kong Nian's answer, and insisted on smiling and said to Tao Yao: "I don't know if this prince can ask the county lord to move and say a few words now." ”
Tao Yao insisted: "Even so, you need to give an explanation to the Kong family." ”
Seeing Tao Yao's insistence on refusing to be alone with him, Mu Cong also had to compromise: "It seems that the county lord has a big misunderstanding of the main hall. Since this is the case, it will bother Kong Gongzi. ”
Originally, there were only Kong Yuehua's brothers and sisters and Tao Yao here, but now in this situation, Kong Yuehua is also very aware of current affairs, and when he left, he glanced at Tao Yao worriedly, for fear that Tao Yao would suffer.
Tao Yao smiled and said to Kong Yuehua: "Sister Kong, go get busy." I'm going to be fine here. ”
Although Kong Yuehua was worried, she also knew that she couldn't help if she stayed, so she could only go to the side, but her eyes swept to Tao Yao's side from time to time, looking very worried.
Tao Yao's calmness surprised Mu Cong very much, but it also made Mu Cong more satisfied with Tao Yao.
is the only woman like this, Mu Cong feels that she is worthy of herself.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Cong said, "County Lord, you should know what happened to the child in Tao Wan's belly. ”
Tao Yao's eyes blinked, and he said with a smile: "Yes, how can His Royal Highness the Great Prince be so sure, I know what is going on with the child in Tao Wan's belly? His Royal Highness the Great Prince is so sure, what if I don't know? Isn't His Royal Highness slandering me?"
"In front of me, does the county lord still want to say this? Does the county lord have to let me say that incident in front of Kong Gongzi?" Mu Cong was frantically testing Tao Yao's bottom line, always feeling that as long as he mastered Tao Yao's weakness, he could threaten Tao Yao at whatever he wanted in the future.
But Mu Cong obviously underestimated Tao Yao, Tao Yao didn't seem to take what Mu Cong said to heart at all, and said with a solemn smile in his eyebrows: "Actually, for me, it's nothing." But now Tao Wan keeps saying that the child in her belly is the eldest prince. I think that the impact of this incident on the eldest prince may be a little greater. ”
Mu Cong gasped, and said with a bit of obvious irritability and annoyance in his voice: "What do you mean by this?
Tao Yao shrugged his shoulders and looked unwilling to say more: "Isn't it that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has something to say to me? I'm very busy, and Kong Gongzi is probably also very busy." If Your Highness has anything to say, just say it. ”
Mu Cong knew that he had no way to do anything with Tao Yao this time, so he could only say: "For the sake of the Northwest Palace, the Confucian family and the reputation of the main hall, the main hall has decided to accept this child in Tao Wan's belly." ”
Things were expected by everyone, neither Tao Yao nor Kong Nian showed great surprise.
However, this is obviously not the final result, because Mu Cong said: "But for the sake of everyone's reputation, I can't accept Tao Wan directly." can only use another way to let Tao Wan enter the Great Prince's Mansion. ”
Kong Nian frowned, originally wanted to reap some benefits from the eldest prince's side. Now it seems that it is not good.
Kong Nian said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the eldest prince's idea is anything that needs my cooperation." ”
The eldest prince has a little more appreciation for Kong Nian: "It's rare that the Kong family has a talent like Kong Gongzi who understands current affairs." The future will soar, just around the corner. ”
Tao Yao said lightly: "The Kong family is already the chief assistant of the three dynasties, and he is a very popular minister. It is already the riches of cooking oil by fire. The eldest prince doesn't have to use such words to coax Kong Gongzi. ”
For Tao Yao's obvious faceless words, the eldest prince was not unhappy, but explained to Tao Yao very seriously: "If you really talk about coaxing, I'm afraid that the county lord will underestimate Kong Gongzi." After all, now it is only the Confucian family that cooks oil on fire, and for Kong Gongzi, it is always just the Confucian family. Only the glory and splendor, which is added to oneself, can be regarded as a serious eight hundred glory splendor. I don't know what Gongzi Kong thinks?"
The words of the eldest prince obviously made Tao Yao very satisfied, and nodded with a smile of satisfaction in his eyebrows: "Look at Kong Gongzi, he is really a dragon among people." No wonder Prime Minister Kong wants to raise Kong Gongzi in his own family. A talent like Kong Gongzi is in this hall, and he also cherishes each other in his heart. ”
Seeing Kong Nian and the eldest prince touting each other over there, Tao Yao only felt that he didn't want to say a superfluous word, so he turned around lightly and went in the direction of Kong Yuehua.
