Chapter 47: Destined Person
Ah Fengxiang asked his uncle to take a seat, but Mu Wenduan did not sit down.
He tried to calm his voice: "The minister entered the capital to ask the emperor for his post, and he has already received a will today and will go back early tomorrow morning." β
"The minister came to congratulate His Highness, but, just ......" He finally raised his head when he said this: "Your Highness, the first queen has knowledge in the sky, and she will definitely be able to smile." β
The tears still couldn't help flowing, but he immediately wiped them off with his sleeve: "Please forgive your Highness, the minister's eyes have not been very good in recent years, and he cried when he saw the wind." β
Ah Feng's heart was sour, and he clearly felt that Mu Wenduan had too much to say, but he just stubbornly suppressed it and didn't say it.
"Uncle, go out of the palace after dinner......" She suddenly wanted to talk to her uncle.
Originally, she just had a grudge against her grandfather's family, but when she saw it, she realized that her grandfather's life was very difficult: her third uncle was only in his early thirties this year, but he had already given birth to Huafa early.
She didn't want to spit out bitterness with her uncle, and she didn't want to scold anyone with her uncle, but she just wanted to ask her grandfather and grandmother if they were okay, and how everyone in the family was okay?
I also want to talk to my uncle about the queen mother, and talk about the things when the queen mother was a child.
Ah Feng didn't know why, but at first sight, she eliminated her resentment towards her grandfather's family: was it the third uncle's old face, or the third uncle's eyes full of emotion?
She couldn't tell clearly, but she really didn't resent or resent, she really just wanted to talk to her uncle, just talk about family life.
Mu Wenduan looked at Ah Feng and stared at it for a while, as if he wanted to imprint Ah Feng in his eyes: "Your Highness, you have obeyed the will and will leave the palace immediately." β
After he finished speaking, he shook his head lightly and motioned to Ah Feng not to speak: "The minister is just here to send something to His Highness and talk about his thoughts." β
As he spoke, he took out a brocade bag, and only after stroking the brocade bag with his big hand did he hand it to Ah Feng: "This is what your mother embroidered for me after I was admitted to Taixue." β
"There are two things in it, and the bracelet is a little heart from the minister and his family to His Royal Highness." After he finished speaking, he bowed and saluted, then straightened up and looked at Ah Feng for a long time before he said softly: "Minister, retire." β
His reluctance, his unease, his concern and his distress for Ah Feng were all in that glance.
Mu Wenduan gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the door, his back was a little stiff: he didn't look back, just walked out of Ah Feng's sight step by step.
Ah Feng's eyes were a little blurry, and it only took a few words to meet his uncle, and his uncle left.
She wanted to keep her uncle but couldn't, because her uncle said that it was the emperor's will: she could not be afraid of her father, but her uncle was not alone, and behind him was a large family, so she couldn't disobey the emperor's orders.
Ah Feng had too many words to ask, but she didn't ask a word, and when her uncle was about to leave, she couldn't speak: as soon as she opened her mouth, she was afraid that she would cry.
She didn't know what her uncle's distress was, but she saw her uncle's caution very clearly.
She also saw Mu Wenduan's hint, so she didn't say a word, took the brocade bag and watched her uncle leave: she didn't even have the kung fu to make tea from beginning to end.
Ah Feng sat down slowly, and suddenly remembered the death of the queen mother and the guilt of his grandfather's family: he said that he was disrespectful to the emperor - but he did not say that he had done anything disrespectful.
Is there another hidden reason for the death of the queen mother? Thinking that no one in the palace had mentioned the first queen to her over the years, everyone avoided mentioning the first queen.
She originally thought that she was not pleased with the emperor, so no one wanted to talk to her more; Thinking about it now, she felt that there might be another reason for it.
Peony gently came in and gave Ah Feng a cup of tea: "Your Highness, it's getting late, do you want to hold the lamp." β
Ah Feng nodded and opened the bag in her hand - she and Peony had developed a habit over the years, and they had to be happier no matter what.
Because no matter what happens, life has to go on. It's a day to be happy, it's a day to be unhappy, so why can't you be happier?
If you are not happy, things will not change much, but it is easier to think of ways to deal with it if you are happy.
There is only one bracelet in the brocade bag, and a jade bracelet that is not very good.
Nothing beyond that.
Ah Feng took out the bracelet and flipped the bag over, and there was nothing else, and there was no writing written on it.
Thinking that everything that entered the palace had to be searched, Ah Feng sighed and felt that he was too naΓ―ve: if there were words written in the bag, these things would not fall into his hands.
But my uncle said that there was something left by his mother, could it be this brocade bag? Ah Feng looked at the brocade bag, thinking about Mu Wenduan's words a little distracted: I always felt that something was not right.
"Your Highness is a little sad?" Gonggong Xiao cut off the candle flowers and opened his mouth gently: "The Mu family has not been easy all these years - if you don't say a word to Your Highness, you are afraid that you will also cause trouble to Your Highness, right?" β
"Your Royal Highness, the first queen has left a will, and you are going to get married this year; The Mu family didn't say it, but it seemed that they were weak-hearted, as if they were deliberately doing this just to cover up something. β
"But to congratulate His Highness, it is impossible to say that you don't give anything at all, but if the things you send are valuable, they will fall into the eyes of others, and there may be many incidents."
"There should be few things, but His Royal Highness's identity can't be anything as a congratulatory gift." Xiao Youfu looked at the bracelet: "The old slave has seen it before, and I heard the first queen talk about this bracelet." β
Ah Feng raised his head: "When did you come back?" β
The smile on Xiao Youde's face was much lighter than during the day, but when he looked at it under the lamp, he was kind with three points, and looking at Ah Feng was like looking at his own little granddaughter:
"The old slave has been back for a while. This bracelet is the heirloom of the Mu family, and it is the treasure that helps the Mu family rise. He glanced at the bracelet again: "Back then, it was a grandmother of the Mu family who took the Mu family out of the small mountain village, into the town, into the big city, and finally came to the capital." β
"This grandmother of the Mu family is in the Mu family, and it is the same today, because the development of the Mu family is all due to her."
"It is also the old man who said that the bracelet is a treasure when he is dying, and he has to wait for someone who is destined; also said that she was able to take the Mu family to the capital and become a big family in the world because of this bracelet. β
Ah Feng was not only fascinated by what he heard, but his face changed.
Xiao Youfu's face was bright and dark in the shaking of the candlelight: "When the first queen was there, Mrs. Mu entered the palace with this bracelet, so the old slave had only seen it." β
"But since the old grandmother of the Mu family, the Mu family has abandoned business and become an official from the Wen generation, but no one has found any treasures in the bracelet."
"The first queen didn't find out, and sighed that she was not destined either." Gonggong Xiao said this and looked at Ah Feng: "According to the shallow mind of the old slave, I am afraid that this is the most thoughtful thing that the Mu family can come up with, but it will not let people take advantage of this matter to cause trouble." β
Ah Feng picked up the bracelet to play: "Destined person? There was something more in her eyes, even Gonggong Xiao couldn't understand it at all.
