Chapter 218: Only one step forward
And in a room in the same place downstairs of the prince's private room, there is also a person who has almost the same mind at this moment.
He raised his hand, his indigo robe swept through the air like a cloud floating in the sky, his elbows lazily resting on the table to support his chin. He stared at the floor above his head with slightly squinted beautiful eyes, and the corners of his lips were hooked with a faint lazy smile.
I'm sure I'm thinking about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too idle.
He didn't dare to show his heart in the slightest, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to blaspheme her in that way.
Side concubine? What's that?
And Mu Xiaofeng, who was in the same private room as the prince, seemed to not know that the prince's thoughts had turned a thousand times, but if you looked closely, you would find that the corners of her eyes had been paying attention to the prince's every move from a strange angle.
She lowered her head and lowered her voice, with a little depression and sadness, and said slowly, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to put the future of Nanchu first, and don't think about the humble body of the courtier." ”
The prince would look at her low and submissive posture, and he was already full of pride and pride, and naturally he couldn't think of any strategy to retreat into advance.
The more she saw her "thinking about him" like this, the more determined she was to marry the girl in front of her back as a side concubine.
When she left Yipinxiang, the prince showed up to say goodbye to her generously, but Mu Xiaofeng was secretive for fear that others would know that the prince was involved with her.
Seeing this, the prince felt more and more that his charm was boundless. However, it is no wonder that the prince thinks so. It's really that he is handsome, and with such a noble and incomparable status, there is nothing he wants that he can't get at all.
A person who has never experienced a setback takes everything he wants for granted.
He never expected that after Mu Xiaofeng came out of his sight, he changed his face.
An idle, shallow smile on his lips, but a calm and confident face that does not hide sarcasm in his eyes.
The first thing I did when I returned to Mufu was to go to Yazhuyuan to meet Mu Tianda.
"Daddy," seeing Mu Tianda looking down and flipping through the books in the side hall, the girl couldn't help but smile and ran over quickly, "I have something to tell you." ”
Mu Tianda put down the book, and when he looked up, he saw the girl looking at him with shining eyes, a soft smile and a delicate face, but her shining eyes were vaguely solemn.
He couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with a smile, "What's the matter with Xiaoxiao?" ”
"I guess," Mu Xiaofeng thought about the proud and smug face of the prince he saw in Yipinxiang today, and his eyes couldn't help but darken, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to the door soon to ask my father about my Geng sticker." ”
Mu Tianda was immediately so shocked that he almost couldn't sit still, "Xiaoxiao, what's going on?" You got the news that he was going to marry you as a side concubine? ”
The girl secretly sneered in her heart, how could it be tough? It was she who deliberately misunderstood the prince.
"Daddy, don't worry," Mu Xiaofeng straightened his face and said slowly, "At that time, you just need to pretend to push a little." ”
Mu Tianda was in a hurry, "Pretend to push? How can this work? Xiaoxiao, do you know what it means to give him your Geng sticker? ”
The girl nodded honestly, as if she hadn't seen her father in a hurry, and said very calmly, "I know that Hegeng is the first step of the three media and six hires." ”
Mu Tianda was stunned, stood up suddenly, and was in a hurry in the hall.
"You know you still asked me to give him Geng?" Mu Tiandahuo stood up hurriedly, stared at her with wide eyes suddenly, and said in a lost voice, "Xiaoxiao, could it be that he threatened you with something?" So you promised to marry and be a side concubine, right? ”
Mu Xiaofeng looked at him so nervous that his imagination was enriched, and he didn't dare to laugh dumbly.
"Daddy, I told you not to worry," the girl went over and pulled his sleeve and shook it funny, looking like a delicate daughter depending, "You just have to rest assured, in addition to the step that he can take my Geng sticker, the next half step will definitely not be able to continue." ”
She winked mischievously at him, "And, I promise it won't be long before he takes the initiative to return it." ”
"This matter is about the happiness of your life," Mu Tianda looked at her suspiciously, still extremely worried, "Xiaoxiao, this matter is not trivial, you must not joke about it." ”
Mu Xiaofeng only hated that he was not a man at the moment, and he couldn't make a man-like chest slapping action in front of him, so that he could rest assured.
He could only straighten his expression and said seriously and seriously, "Daddy, you really just have to rest assured, what I joke about, I can't joke about my lifelong happiness." ”
Mu Tianda saw that she was sure of her, and for a while she couldn't think of any useful way to dispel the prince's thoughts, so she had to follow her in disbelief.
"But Xiaoxiao, what are your plans, can you reveal them to me first?"
Mu Xiaofeng shook his head, shaking his head very resolutely, "Daddy, if the matter is revealed in advance, it will not work at that time." In short, you believe that your daughter will never mess around with her life's events. ”
She said so, Mu Tianda really didn't know what to say except for a wry smile and worry.
Within two days, the prince really sent someone to pick up Mu Xiaofeng's Geng sticker.
It was the butler of the Prince's Mansion, the person Mu Tianda had personally met.
"Lord Mu, presumably His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions are clear in the mansion, right?" With the qualifications of a housekeeper, it was naturally not enough for Mu Tianda to invite people into the main hall to receive him, and he only met the butler of the prince's mansion in the side hall, a middle-aged man with a sleek face who bowed slightly.
"This ......"
"Lord Mu, the contemptible surname is Du."
"This Steward Du," Mu Tianda glanced at him politely and detachedly, holding the teacup close to his lips for a long time without saying a word.
It was estimated that he had been grinding the housekeeper for a long time before he raised his eyelids and posed with a very rare official authority, and said slowly, "We know a thing or two about His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, but since he has the intention of marrying the eldest lady of our family, he should show sincerity." ”
After being silent, Mu Tianda glanced at the housekeeper with a calm face, and said with a slight displeasure, "Our eldest lady is a serious daughter, not a concubine born in a small family, and it is impossible for people to quietly carry a sedan chair from the small door to the door at will." ”
Steward Du silently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that everyone in the Mu Mansion had agreed to marry Miss Mu into the Prince's Mansion as a side concubine? also said that the eldest lady had been consulted in person, and even the eldest lady herself agreed.
Why is Mu Daren still making things difficult for him today?
"Want to take the eldest lady's Geng sticker?" Mu Tianda glanced at Steward Du with a cold face, and snorted coldly, "Yes, but please go back and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to get it in person." ”
After hearing this, Steward Du's movements of raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat became much more frequent.
Of course, he was anxious and embarrassed, which did not mean that he would really follow Mu Tianda's request to go back and let the prince come to the door in person.
If the prince had to come forward in everything, he, the butler, would not have to do it.
His eyes rolled, and finally he thought of a solution after a few wipes of sweat.
"Master Mu," Steward Du stood up, facing Mu Tianda, and bowed deeply. Incomparably sincere and apologetic, he said, "It's not that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to come in person, but he is staying in the Qinzheng Palace to share his worries with His Majesty, and he can't leave for a while. I also asked Lord Mu to give the eldest lady's Geng sticker to the villain for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince's diligence and immaculateness. ”
Mu Tianda's face changed slightly, and he looked at Steward Du, with a struggle and unwillingness in his eyes, and a little helpless sighing, and finally calmed down.
said, "The prince is the prince of my Southern Chu, and he should focus on political affairs and the people." ”
He sighed, "That's it, you can go with me to get Geng stickers." ”
Steward Du took Geng and posted it out of the gate of Mufu, and couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, so he hurriedly rode to the palace.
The crown prince did stay in the palace of Qinzheng Palace, but it had nothing to do with sharing political affairs and loving the people, he just didn't want to mobilize the crowd to come to the door to ask for something for a side concubine.
He stayed in the Qinzheng Hall just to wait for his housekeeper to bring Mu Xiaofeng's Geng sticker in.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for Steward Du to enter the palace.
As soon as he met at the gate of the main hall, he couldn't help but sink his face and scolded, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”
Steward Du wiped his cold sweat and bowed down with a wry smile, "Your Highness, it's the slave who has slow legs, but fortunately, the slave has already brought Miss Mu's Geng sticker." ”
The prince took the Geng sticker, glanced at him coldly, and waved his hand to let people retreat.
He took Geng Tie into his arms and strode towards the office of Lord Ruan, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor.
Naturally, there was no luxurious decoration in the office of the Qin Tianjian, an empty room, a few dark red tables and chairs, and a few idle and moldy old men who were chatting, this is the scene that the prince saw when he set foot in the office of the Qin Tianjian office.
As for Lord Ruan, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor? As the highest-ranking official here, he naturally has a ** place.
The crown prince has a noble status, and if he wants to see Lord Ruan, he naturally does not need to report it.
Instead, he just had to stand at the door and wait for Lord Ruan to come out to greet him.
After a while, I saw Lord Ruan, who was not very old but had a handful of goatees, running out of it in a panic.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince," Lord Ruan immediately bowed and saluted when he saw the prince standing proudly at the door.
"Lord Ruan, excuse me."
The crown prince stretched out his hand and lifted it into the air, Lord Ruan stood up straight, and he said, "This palace came today because I wanted to bother Lord Ruan. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," the prince's modesty was so frightened that Lord Ruan bowed down and waved his hand again and again, "If Your Highness has orders, the ministers should serve themselves, and they dare not resign." ”
The prince glanced at him, smiled with satisfaction.
"Lord Ruan is busy with affairs, and the palace should not be disturbed more, so I will tell the truth directly."
Lord Ruan hurriedly bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, and invited the prince into his ** office, before he said respectfully, "Please show your Highness." ”
The prince took out a Geng sticker from his arms and handed it to him, "This is Miss Mu's Geng sticker, you give the palace a combination of eight characters, and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac." ”
