Chapter 182
"Mu Qing, you came early."
"Brother Jun, you're not too late."
Mu Qing stood in place and waited for Wei Jun, Wei Jun made a flat salute to Mu Qing back and forth, Mu Qing returned the salute, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and followed the little eunuch to the palace together.
Wei Jun is not the first time to enter the palace, in fact, when he was young, because his father Wei Jing was in a high position, Wei Jun was invited to the palace to play with the prince.
He is familiar with the road in this palace, Mu Qing smiled and said: "Brother Jun is very familiar, I have never known the road very well, if the banquet is dispersed after a while, I hope that Brother Jun will help me take me out of the palace, don't get lost and bump into the nobles." ”
Wei Jun nodded, completely ignoring him as polite, and accepted it with a serious face.
Mu Qing knew that he had this temper, so he smiled, and then said, "Brother Jun used to come often? ”
"Well, but at that time, the eldest prince invited me." Wei Jun didn't hide it at all, and said directly.
Mu Qing was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't heard anyone next to him mention the eldest prince for a long time, after all, the eldest prince died quickly, which also became a pimple in the hearts of many people, and he would not mention it. This time from Wei Jun's mouth made Mu Qing a little surprised, Mu Qing asked tentatively: "Brother Jun has a good relationship with the eldest prince?" ”
Wei Jun looked to both sides as he walked, leaned closer to Mu Qing when he walked around the bamboo forest, and when he heard Mu Qing's question, he said, "It's just that he said something, he is much older than me, and I don't like him very much." ”
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, this breath was raised again.
"But Lord Rui likes to give me some food, and he can also help me with my homework."
The corners of Mu Qing's eyes twitched, but he didn't know that Wei Jun, who didn't seem to eat fireworks in the world, actually had a time when he asked someone to help him write his homework. But this is secondly, Mu Qing was a little surprised that he was familiar with Li Chengming: "If you are familiar with Prince Rui, why haven't you ever seen you greet him when you met before?" ”
Wei Jun glanced at Mu Qing, and there were some doubts in his plain eyes, so he only heard Wei Jun say: "That's just when I was a child, it's all his own willingness, and I didn't force him." In other words, now he has nothing to do with King Rui, it's just that person's wishful thinking.
When Mu Qing heard this, he not only shed a handful of bitter tears for King Rui in his heart, he gave him something to eat and did his homework, but Wei Jun still regarded him as a passerby, which was really sad and lamentable.
But immediately Mu Qing adjusted his feelings, and Li Chengming was happy when he was frustrated, which is a kind of love that will naturally come out after the camp is clear. Mu Qing watched the little eunuch in front of him walk farther away, and asked in a low voice, "What does Brother Jun think, how is King Zhuang?" ”
Wei Jun glanced at Mu Qing when he heard this, and Mu Qing looked at him with blinking eyes, and he was very innocent. Wei Jun just looked at him and then withdrew his eyes and said, "I'm not familiar with King Zhuang. ”
Yes, it looks like this is really a non-sticky and non-cannibalistic master.
Mu Qing originally wanted to get some Wei Jing's wishes from him, but when he heard Wei Jun say this, he didn't ask anymore, some things were too excessive and seemed out of place, so Mu Qing only smiled lightly and changed the topic: "Brother Jun, you are wearing a casual dress when you enter the palace this time." ”
Wei Jun raised his arm to take a look, and then pursed his lips lightly, looking careless: "I don't have the heart to be a royal son-in-law, why do I need to pretend deliberately." ”
"You know a lot about it." Mu Qing smiled, stretched out his hand and gently brushed over a mischievous crooked green bamboo branch.
The expression on Wei Jun's face remained unchanged, as if this was just an ordinary thing: "My father sued me." ”
Mu Qing was still smiling, but he didn't speak anymore, because he had gradually seen the crowd, so he settled down and walked slowly. It's just that he was thinking about it in his heart, Wei Jing instructed Wei Jun before he entered the palace, and directly explained the matter of choosing a son-in-law that should have been kept secret, which is only two possibilities.
One made Wei Jun avoid this incident from afar.
The other is to let Wei Jun show himself well and fight for it.
If it was the first thought, Mu Qing would not be difficult to understand. After all, although you can enjoy the glory of marrying with the royal family, the Wei family is now a supreme minister, and there is no need to "contribute" an excellent heir in exchange for the glory of the family. Moreover, judging from Wei Jing's attitude towards Wei Jun, it was extremely pampered, protecting Wei Jun like protecting his eyes, and raising a figure like an ice and snow jade carving, if it was said that he was entangled with the bottomless royal family, it would be a little unbelievable to Mu Qing.
But what if it's the latter?
Mu Qing narrowed his eyes, if Wei Jun really married Princess Wenfan, whether it was voluntary or forced, the matter would be much more complicated.
"Brother Jun," Mu Qing suddenly opened his mouth when he was about to walk in front of Linquan Pavilion, "What would you do if you really let you marry a princess?" ”
Wei Jun glanced at Mu Qing, as if he didn't know why he asked such a question. But after all, it is not something that needs to be concealed, Wei Jun replied directly without thinking about it: "If you marry, you will marry." ”
Mu Qing looked at him with a slight smile in his eyes: "What if she looks like she has no salt and has a strange temper?" ”
Wei Jun was still calm: "The name of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, as long as she kisses me, I will definitely respect her like a guest." ”
Mu Qing laughed when he heard this, sure enough, just like he thought, Brother Jun's mind was as clear as a crystal's heart, if there was really a woman married to him, he would definitely be happy.
At least it's much better than marrying Douro, who has an empty look but actually has no heart.
But without waiting for Mu Qing to speak, Wei Jun opened his mouth again: "But I have known Wen Fan since childhood, and you don't have to worry about her appearance and conduct. If you fall in love with her, I may be able to ......" Wei Jun suddenly paused and glanced at Mu Qing, "I advise you not to look at her." ”
Mu Qing blinked: "Why is this?" ”
Wei Jun hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "Daddy didn't allow you to ask you to propose marriage, but he allowed Wen Fan, and if Daddy knows about it, he will definitely remember your hatred." ”
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
Waving his hand, he simply didn't mention it again, and just entered the Linquan Pavilion with Wei Jun.
==============================================================================
Concubine Yuan's banner was to follow Li Muyan's reputation and entertain all the students, but there was no shadow of the emperor in the Linquan Pavilion.
After all, the banquet is just a disguise, what I really have to do is to help Min Guifei look at each other and see if any of these new imperial examinations are among the dragons and phoenixes, and they can be matched with the position of horses, and after calling them into the palace, they don't have to use the emperor as a tiger skin.
As soon as Mu Qing entered the door, he saw two rows of cases on the left and right sides of the main hall, on which melons, fruits and tea cups were placed, on the high platform at the end was a mahogany seat, on the left hand side of the seat was a slightly smaller chair, and on the right was a peony screen. There is a clear crystal curtain above the high platform, and the crystals of various sizes are connected in unison, faintly covering the qiē below.
People are talking together in twos and threes, after all, they have been in office for a while, or there are a lot of experiences or depressions, in the capital, most of them are not around their families, compared to the colleagues of the first session are much closer, naturally there is a lot to talk about.
Seeing Mu Qing and Wei Jun enter the door, many people stopped talking and greeted them with a smile.
One is the champion of the new department, and the other is Tanhualang, who has the emperor's blue eyes, and is naturally in the limelight.
Mu Qing smiled and greeted them, but Wei Jun obviously still didn't like this kind of thing, he didn't look over, the hand covered by the wide and wide sleeves gently pulled Mu Qing's cuffs, seeing that Mu Qing didn't react, he simply pulled it again, the strength was not small, anyone could see that Mu Qing's sleeves were torn out of shape.
"Brother Wang, I have some things, so I naturally want to visit them in a few days." Dealing with Lord Wang with some meaningful smiles in front of him, Mu Qingqiang turned back with a smile, and then grabbed Wei Jun and pulled him aside.
God knows that his body is crooked when he was pulled just now, if the sleeves are torn off, this champion Tanhua will publicly "break the sleeves" in front of the palace, I am afraid it will become a joke for many people.
"Brother Jun, what's wrong with you?" Mu Qing saw that no one came to him again, so he asked.
Wei Jun looked at him, and saw that his usual indifferent eyes did feel a little aggrieved this time: "I'm hungry." ”
Mu Qing sighed, he was not angry, he didn't like to talk to those people about what he didn't have, so he followed Wei Jun's meaning, no longer talked, but walked with him to the case, and said as he walked: "It is estimated that you will have to wait for the concubine to have a banquet, you can eat some fruit first." ”
This is very different from the deer banquet, not the seats are arranged according to the rank, but the seats are limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
Since Mu Qing had decided to make his efforts to shrink his senses, he naturally wouldn't go to the front place, and Wei Jun also followed him to the middle and back position.
Choosing a seat is actually knowledgeable, and if you are in the front, you will naturally be noticed, but if you are too far back, you will still be noticed. Didn't you see the eyes of those palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door?
The wisest choice is to sit in the middle and back, the people in front of them block the view of the people above, and the people in the back can't notice them, and they are just hidden in the city.
Sitting down separately, Wei Jun was not polite, and directly picked up the things on the table and stuffed them into his mouth, but when he finished eating one, he said slowly: "It's not sweet." ”
“…… It's not sweet, you still eat it. ”
"I guess the people in the palace must have deducted something."
Mu Qing felt a different meaning from this sentence, and had to instruct: "Don't tell Lord Wei about this." ”
Wei Jun looked puzzled: "Why?" ”
Why?
Last time, you just said that the food was not delicious, and Wei Jing was going to fight hard with the imperial dining room, this time you said that they deducted things, and the prime minister who spoiled his son and rushed to the sky didn't overturn the imperial dining room.
