It's very simple, but under the momentum of Emperor Chu's natural anger and authority, Princess Yihe still trembled. It took a long time to barely explain everything clearly.
"So, when Mu Shangshu was rescued, the person was still unconscious?"
The queen glanced meaningfully at Princess Yihe, and suddenly sighed, "The concubine heard that Mu Shangshu and Yihe fell into the water together, and she was really shocked. ”
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and asked in a smiling tone, "Oh, does the queen know, why did Mu Shangshu appear in the Imperial Garden?" Speaking again, I didn't have to worry about whether Mu Tianda was awake or unconscious.
The queen groaned, and her cold face showed a hint of guilt, "Your Majesty, the concubine sent someone to invite him over." ”
"The concubine plans to renovate the Fengqi Palace in the near future, and I want to listen to Mu Shangshu's opinion before starting construction."
Emperor Chu lowered his eyes, said a noncommittal "um", and did not continue to dwell on this issue. After being silent for a while, he asked again, "Now Mu Shangshu has come to his senses?" ”
In order to take care of Mu Tianda, the queen asked the palace people to move Mu Tianda from the imperial garden to one of the rooms in the side hall.
At this moment, the former imperial physician Mu Tianda was standing in the hall.
"Your Majesty," the imperial physician stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mu Shangshu's forehead was hit by an external force and caused him to fall unconscious, and he should be awake in a few moments." ”
Emperor Chu let out a faint "um" without showing emotion, and then fell silent without knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty," the queen said, his cold face showing a shallow hesitation that wanted to speak.
"What does the queen have to say?"
"Princess Yihe is reckless, and the concubine has already taught her a lesson." The queen glanced at everyone in the hall, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she still had some scruples.
However, she hesitated for a moment, and still said softly, "But no matter what, Princess Yihe fell into the water with Mu Shangshu." She is an unmarried girl in Yunying, although she is reluctant to have such a thing happen, but now that it has happened, this palace feels that she can't help but pity her. ”
These words are quite pertinent, but they all express a meaning. That is to feel sympathy for Princess Yihe and worry about the future of Yihe.
As the master of the harem, no matter which princess's marriage, she naturally has to go through her.
At the moment, she expressed her intention to think about Princess Yihe, which was purely her duty, and did not make people feel that she was suspected of being overly targeted.
Emperor Chu glanced at her sideways, and replied noncommittally, "The queen's consideration is not unreasonable. ”
The queen smiled faintly, and her cold face did not show any excitement and pride, but said, "But today's incident, Mu Shangshu is also innocent." ”
Therefore, whether Mu Tianda can be persuaded to accept the princess Yihe as his successor, this heavy responsibility will naturally fall on the head of Emperor Chu.
Whether it is as the father of Princess Yihe, or as the monarch of Mu Tianda, only Emperor Chu has such qualifications.
As the mother-in-law of Princess Yihe, the queen is naturally qualified to manage Princess Yihe's marriage. However, her decree is not as effective as the holy decree.
Emperor Chu remained silent, and asked with emotion, "Then according to the queen's opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”
"Mu Shangshu is an important minister in the court, his ability and ability are obvious to all, otherwise His Majesty would not reuse him." She said this directly, but it made Emperor Chu feel more comfortable than singing praises in a roundabout way.
"Yihe is a princess, and she has been gentle and elegant since she was a child, and she is a good year in the boudoir," the queen smiled slightly, and there was a hint of deliberateness from her cold and noble face, "The concubine thinks that this accident is very good." ”
Emperor Chu glanced at her with a smile, and repeated without showing emotion, "The queen really thinks this accident is very good?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine really thinks it's good." The queen echoed lightly, and there was no trace of flattery on her cold face, looking at her appearance, she was purely stating the facts.
Emperor Chu glanced at everyone in the hall, and especially stayed on Princess Yihe's face for a long time. The princess was so nervous that she trembled under his powerful coercive momentum, and kept pinching her fingers to soothe the anxiety in her heart. He looked away, but he looked at the imperial doctor and said in a deep voice, "Did you go to Shangshu and wake up?" ”
"By the way, he's fine except for a bruise on his forehead, right?"
The imperial doctor stopped his steps and said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, Mu Shangshu may have stayed in the sun for a long time before, but there is some heat in his body. However, now that he had rested for a while, he should be fine when he woke up. ”
Obviously, something that can be explained clearly in one sentence, this imperial doctor just went on for a long time to show his credit. Emperor Chu glanced at him, and immediately waved his hand impatiently, "Go ahead." ”
After a while, the imperial physician returned to the main hall.
Of course, he was followed by Mu Tianda, who did not look very good.
"See Your Majesty, see Niangniang."
Emperor Chu stretched out his hand and lifted it into the air, "Mu Aiqing is exempt." His inquiring gaze swept across Mu Tianda's face without a trace, and he suddenly said, "Come on, sit down." ”
The princesses in the hall were all standing, but he suddenly gave Mu Tianda a courtier to sit on.
This is grace.
Mu Tianda was unwilling to accept such a favor from the bottom of his heart, but one was a king and one was a minister, no matter what Emperor Chu gave, he should be grateful to accept it. His face changed slightly, but he hung his head and turned to no one's face that had changed in a moment, so he had to stiffen his head and say respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
There is no show of favor for no reason in this world, especially when the other party is still a high-ranking ninety-five.
When Mu Tianda heard Emperor Chu spit out the word "give sitting", his heart jumped.
There is grace first, and then there is something else, so that he will have no reason to refuse.
Sitting down nervously, Emperor Chu casually glanced at the queen.
Now that the person has been summoned to the front and the courtesy has been sufficient, it is natural to start talking about business. However, when it comes to the marriage of his children, Emperor Chu thinks that it is of course better for the queen, the mother-in-law, to come forward.
Besides, today's incident happened in the Imperial Garden after all, and it was not very glorious. Emperor Chu's cold light swept over, and he became more and more determined in his heart not to pick this head.
However, if the queen had a way to force Mu Tianda to agree, he would be happy to see it happen.
If Mu Tianda married his daughter, then Mu Tianda's daughter would naturally be a generation shorter than his son.
The queen glanced at Emperor Chu quietly, although she didn't know why this man suddenly changed his mind about Mu Xiaofeng's girl. But she still guessed about the little thought in front of this man.
Since he was happy to see it happen, it would be easy to do.
"Mu Shangshu," a few thoughts flashed through the queen's thoughts, and then she looked faintly with a graceful and noble posture, "For today's accident, this palace is very sorry." ”
Mu Tianda was stunned, completely unexpected, the first opening sentence of the queen with him turned out to be an apology.
"Since it was an accident, it was not foreseeable by the mother." Mu Tianda hurriedly stood up, bowed his head slightly with a sincere and frightened look, and was full of emotion, "Niangniang doesn't have to feel guilty. ”
The corners of the queen's lips were slightly hooked, but the corners of her eyes swept towards Princess Yihe intentionally or unintentionally.
Her movements have not been deliberately concealed, and she can be generous from Mu Tianda's point of view
Seeing that this was not an obvious hint, Mu Tianda's heart immediately became nervous.
Is this an intention to salute him first and then soldier?
"This accident is indeed not foreseeable by this palace in advance," the queen sighed lightly, and her cold face showed a faint pity and helplessness. She glanced at Princess Yihe, who had been hanging her head, glanced at Mu Tianda again, and said lightly, "However, this palace should also bear an unshirkable responsibility for this matter." ”
"If it weren't for the temporary invitation of Mu Shangshu to the palace by the palace, and the delay due to some chores, there would probably be no follow-up incidents."
She used a few uncertain words in a row to assume, in fact, it was to imply to Mu Tianda that something had happened and there was absolutely no way back to the past.
At the same time, her hypothetical words also indirectly show her innocence in this matter.
Was it just a simple accident?
Mu Tianda's brows tightened, but he was skeptical of this conclusion in his heart.
As the queen herself said, if it weren't for the prerequisites, today's accident would not have happened at all.
Although Mu Tianda understood the hint in the queen's words, he resolutely let himself pretend to be confused.
The queen waited for a while, and saw that he only stood in the hall with his head bowed respectfully, and his elegant face was only blank except for sincere fear.
secretly sneered, and was not angry at his attitude of pretending to be confused.
His eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and then said lightly, "This palace should indeed bear most of the responsibility for this matter." ”
At this point, she paused deliberately, just silently waiting for Da's reaction.
When Mu Tianda heard the word "responsible", his heartbeat suddenly became disordered and rapid.
Are things going the way he expected?
Is it irreversible anymore?
Mu Tianda's face changed, but when his face changed, he still refused to compromise and quickly turned his mind to think of countermeasures.
The queen waited for a long time, and when she saw that he was still stubbornly pretending to be confused and not saying a word, she felt slightly annoyed in her heart.
Think you can escape the past by pretending to be confused? This man is also too small.
Today's matter, whether he wants it or not, there can only be one result.
The queen's pair of narrow phoenix eyes flew out of a wisp of cold light without a trace, she secretly snorted coldly, stared at the elegant man in the hall who was still wearing court clothes, and said lightly again, "It's a pity that the daughter of the palace, Princess Yihe, ......." ”
