When she returned to the mansion on this day, those remarks in the wine shop were repeatedly alternating in Mu Qing's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

No matter how Mu Qing avoided leaving the court, he couldn't bear it anymore, and made up his mind to ask Du Ruhui carefully after he returned home. I thought he would come back as he usually did when it was close to closing, but the day turned back very early. It was only more than an hour after Mu Qing returned home that he heard Du Qi's bright voice "Ah Lang is home".

Mu Qing hurried out, and when he saw his gloomy face, his heart froze, afraid that he had heard the gossip in the market. Seeing Mu Qing coming, Du Ruhui's complexion eased a little, and he put on a faint smile.

The two went all the way to the main room of the inner courtyard, and Du Ruhui suddenly asked about Shiro's schoolwork. Mu Qing was suspicious, and it was clear that he had just called Shiro to ask the day before yesterday, and he was quite satisfied at that time, so why did he ask again. After a second taste, it seemed that he had some meaning to tear off the words.

Mu Qingshu stopped at his feet, turned his head and stared straight at Du Ruhui, and the words came to his mouth and knotted on his tongue.

"What's wrong?" Du Ruhui also stopped, with a faint smile on her face, and raised her hand to brush off a pear blossom between her hair.

When Mu Qing was stunned for a while, he sighed faintly, suddenly changed his face and smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not much, look at your complexion today." ”

Obviously, Du Ruhui didn't believe this, so he took her hands and sped up two steps, "Let's go into the house." There are some things I still need to let you know. ”

After entering the house, Mu Qing couldn't help it anymore, and listened to everything he heard with the eldest princess Gaomi in the wine shop today. When she was about to hear the last few words, she couldn't help but grab Du Ruhui's hand, and the cold sweat in her hand was dripping, making him slippery with one hand.

"I know that those words outside were deliberately arranged by someone, and it is not surprising that there are those words, but now they have spread to the streets and alleys, wine shops and restaurants, which shows the evil intentions of the people who arranged them. If you go up to the Holy Hearing. But how is it good. Mu Qing said worriedly.

Du Ruhui took off the fish talisman gold bag on his waist, glanced at it twice in his hand, and smiled coldly: "You have heard of those, have you ever heard of today's palace." The Holy One has moved me to the right again? ”

Mu Qingleng was taken aback. He opened his mouth. I couldn't speak, so I asked for a long time, "How did you move the law this time?" ”

"Shangshu's right servant shoots."

An understatement. Mu Qing was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, and he actually sealed the right phase. This is to the extreme, and there is no one in the court except the one on the throne of God in the temple. Mu Qing didn't feel the slightest joy, but he slowly gasped.

"Yes...... However, the matter of the use of troops against the Turks is in an uproar, how can the Holy One promote you at this time? This is clearly to push you to the cusp...... "Mu Qing suddenly came to his senses, "The conquest of the Turks is simply the meaning of the Holy Lord, yes or no?" The ministers objected, the ministers of the eldest grandson's faction objected, and the saint borrowed your mouth to force the public opinion in the court, am I right? ”

Du Ruhui nodded, "You guessed right, but you were only half right." It is true that the conquest of the Turks is the intention of the Holy One, and it is not false that I will suppress the opinions of the people, but this is also my idea. Now that the Turkic civil strife is weak, if it is not suppressed, when they are strong in the future, the border troubles will definitely arise again, and this chaos will not be peaceful for a hundred years. The border is uneven, and the country is difficult to prosper. ”

"What about floods and locusts? The end of Emperor Yang's reckless military force is still in sight. Although those words in the wine shop were no longer a problem, but after all, it was shocking, and Mu Qing couldn't help but ask again.

"In a disaster year, it is indeed a little tight, but the warehouse is still full, and it is inevitable that the whole country will have to suffer once, but there will be no people fleeing famine and hunger. At this time, the morale has not faded, the Turks are scattered, and if the opportunity is missed, there will be endless troubles. ”

With this sentence alone, Mu Qing also put his mind at ease, and a smile appeared on his face, "If you say it is feasible, it must be feasible." It's just that the saint is holding you in front of the court like this, which really hurts you. ”

Du Ruhui sighed and put down the fish talisman gold bag, clearly wanting to say and stopping, but finally laughed with her. "As a man in the world, if you can help the world and show your ambitions, it is really a blessing, why bother. If you want to say suffering, it is tired that you have suffered a lot together. Don't pay attention to any other rhetoric from the outside in the future. Every few days later, the edict appointing the right servant was announced, and there must be another battle, with all kinds of criticism, maybe it's going to splash the sky, you ......"

Du Ruhui only felt that his waist was suddenly tightened when he took off his strap, and a pair of familiar arms surrounded him from behind him, the ring was firmly buckled, and his back moved, and the slight body temperature carried the elegant atmosphere he was used to, and it was densely pasted. "Keming, what if...... If one day, you can leave everything here, ignore those ambitions, ignore the court disputes, let's take the children to live some casual life together, don't you think? ”

"Are you afraid?" Du Ruhui held Mu Qing's hand around his waist, it was nearly three months, and her hand was still slightly cold.

Mu Qing's low sigh came from behind him, "In the past, whether you want to change the day or go into battle with the army, I only know that I have to follow you step by step, and I never know what to fear." It is said that now you are like the sun, glory is added, and there is no more blood and rain, I should have settled down. But somehow, it doesn't settle down, and the more you exalt me, the more panicked I become, and to put it mildly, I secretly feel that something is going to happen. ”

Du Ruhui turned around and took her into his arms, "Don't think nonsense, how many difficult things have passed, Zuo is just a ......" He said half a sentence, but he couldn't wait for the second half of the sentence. Mu Qing raised his head from his chest, "What is left?" ”

"Nothing." He shook his head with a smile and suddenly patted his head again, "Look, I've forgotten what I'm doing." Ayan will have fifteen next year? How is he reading now? Next year's Ming Jing test will probably be able to meet the one. ”

Mu Qing stood up straight, the doubts in her heart flickered like candlelight, fleeting, and she only vaguely felt that he had something to say, but because he mentioned the delay, she was distracted. "That kid doesn't really want to come up with what he means."

"He thinks it's because he cares about his origins? That's not that hard. Although Aliu has been following you, she has long been a good person. If you really have scruples, then I will take you as a righteous son, and I will make it. Du Ruyan said quickly.

"It doesn't matter where he comes from, he wants to join the army." Mu Qing worried: "Ah Liu's only one child is naturally reluctant, and he has persuaded him several times, but he is stubborn and stubborn because of the child's temperament, and he has made up his mind to join the Xuanjia Army, he only said, 'The man should gallop on the field to serve the country', so I can't persuade him." And with his current skills. It is not difficult to enter the Xuanjia Army. It will only be selected next year. ”

Du Ruhui laughed loudly, "Good boy, it's hard for him to have such a mind at such a young age, why stop him from doing anything?" Next year the army will enter the Turks. It's a good time. Then he faded his smile again. If. Da Lang and Erlang also have the same heart and ambition as Ayan, which is enough to comfort the eldest brother for Gnosis. ”

"What's wrong with Agu Ahe in the East Palace?" Mu Qing also hadn't seen the two brothers for a long time, for fear that they would cause some trouble. I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Them?" Du Ruyan snorted coldly, "It's too good to be better." Accompanied by the prince, it's okay to be a little domineering, but these two people like to play with power. How old is the prince, and he is a year younger than our Shiro, so they began to form a party under the banner of the prince. Fortunately, the crown prince is still young, if it is another five or six years, will he not teach them to turn over the monstrous waves. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, they are immersed in the struggle for power and power, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do great disasters in the future. ”

Mu Qing couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to comfort a few words, and he didn't care if it was useful or not, so he was a little relieved. The two talked about the side matter again, Mu Qing boiled tea, ate one or two, and the porter came to spread the news that someone came to the door to ask to see Du Ruhui. Mu Qing put down the teacup and sent him to meet the guest with a smile, "Come back early, I can't take advantage of it." ”

……

Two days before the peony banquet, Du Ruhui's appointment was given with great fanfare, and the carriages at the gate of Yongxing Fang were endless, blocking the door from time to time. If he hadn't agreed to the eldest princess Gaomi early in the morning, Mu Qing would not have been willing to appear at the peony banquet. The peony banquet has always been a medium for marriage between the nouveau riche, and the women and ladies of each province look at each other as concubines or daughters-in-law, all through this prosperous flower party, so the ladies of each family come very completely.

Some of their own husbands and eldest grandsons Wuji are good friends, and when they see Mu Qing, they certainly want to show some sharpness in their words, and those bureaucrats and family members who stand on Du Ruhui's side in the court want to defend her more than two sentences, and the two go back and forth, until Mu Qing is in the middle. There are still some people who ride on the wall, because they don't dare to offend the eldest grandson queen, they greet Mu Qing with a smile, turn their faces and talk elsewhere. Virtual, real, boiling, and rendering a peony banquet so lively.

It was easy to survive this event, and then the Cold Food Festival followed. On this day, the royal relatives and meritorious children should go to the inner garden to play polo as usual, and the officials and dependents of the third grade or more enter the palace to receive the queen's porridge, and the fire in the palace can be returned to the house to light the lamp.

Mu Qing took Shiro and mixed in a group of officials and relatives to greet him, and the eldest grandson came out of the hall and summoned several relatives who were close to him into the hall to speak. Mu Qingyuan only took the lead and couldn't take his turn, and was secretly calculating whether he could see the eldest grandson before leaving the palace, and he didn't know if she could make herself see Feng Ling.

"Shangshu's right servant shoots the inner ......" Suddenly, the melodious voice of the little inner eunuch made Mu Qingmeng come back to his senses. She hurriedly called Shiro, lifted her skirt and went up the stairs, and entered the hall to say hello.

Mu Qing bowed and looked around the hall to feel that the hall was lively, in addition to the eldest grandson sitting on the top of the hall, several princes and princesses were also there, and there were three or two eldest princesses present, Mu Qing was about to salute one by one, but the eldest grandson smiled and said: "Qi Niang doesn't need to be polite." How long has it been since you saw Feng Ling? Come and see if you still recognize it? ”

Mu Qing raised her eyes to look, but saw a small brocade-clothed girl sitting on the brocade cushion in front of the eldest grandson, who was grinning and smiling, her big curved eyes, and a smile as bright as the sun, dazzling her eyes for a while, and she almost didn't shed tears. I haven't seen it for more than half a year, and the pink and tender little appearance in my memory has grown so big, with delicate eyebrows and bright smiles, all of which are the same as when Yinghua was young.

"Feng Ling......" Mu Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and he only bent down and stretched out his arms to the little girl, as if he was summoning Yinghua when he was young.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm afraid it's a loss of honor." A light cough suddenly sounded around him, and a merciless harsh accusation came immediately, not high or low, just enough for everyone present to hear. "That's Princess Runan."

Mu Qing's arms froze in place, not knowing what to do, and his mind was full of remorse, and he really trespassed.

Feng Ling on the hall is surrounded by only the palace people with a solemn face all day long, and occasionally sees the queen with an indifferent expression, although the father loves her very much, but because of the busy political affairs, it takes a long time to come to visit her, at this time someone has such a soft voice and such a warm smile. I couldn't help but shake off the hand of the palace people. Got up from the brocade mat, swayed his little body and walked down the steps, looking at Mu Qing curiously while smiling towards her.

Mu Qing was stunned for a few breaths, but still reached out and took Feng Ling's little hand.

"Mrs. Gu!" The man raised his voice slightly. There is a bit of contempt in the coldness. and all the people of the temple were to look at him.

"That's a big deal. Qi Niang is Feng Ling's aunt, and it is also appropriate to be affectionate. The eldest grandson of the hall laughed softly, and his gaze swept to the person who spoke, but there was a flash of unhappiness. Just as it fell in Mu Qing's eyes, the attitude of the eldest grandson was there, and she was so settled in her heart that she immediately straightened her waist and gently pulled the small hand in her palm to her side.

The eldest grandson stretched out his hand to the man, turned to Mu Qing, and still smiled, "She doesn't come often, and she can't complain that Qi Niang doesn't recognize her." That's the eldest princess of Changqing, and she hasn't come to see her soon. ”

Mu Qing hurriedly and humbly took a step back and saluted the eldest princess of Changqing, who was covered in sharp ice edges, but she couldn't help but nod. Although Mu Qing didn't know why the eldest grandson was not kind to the eldest princess, he no longer cared about her, and he didn't wait for her to speak, he straightened up, took Feng Ling and sat down.

After sitting down, Mu Qing realized that there was a nurse sitting behind the eldest grandson in the palace, brocade swaddling in her arms, and said in her heart that this was about the new prince of the eldest grandson. Since Yinghua married Li Shimin's concubine, there have been six years, the eldest grandson has not come out, last year in the middle of summer, I heard that the eldest grandson gave birth to an imperial heir, and the saint also pardoned a thief and prisoner for this purpose, which made the eldest grandson family ready to move. Turning his face, he dismissed the eldest grandson Wuji from the post of right minister and promoted Du Ruhui to replace him.

He was using Du Ruhui as a sword envoy to balance the various forces in the court, and he complained that he solemnly declared himself in the Jingcini Temple that day, and made it clear that she was not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the court and the harem, which was afraid that Du Ruhui would also be involved in the party struggle and could no longer be used by him. Mu Qinghu thought through the warning in Jingci Temple, and a slight coolness arose in his heart, Li Jiaerlang is now profitable, and he has a good situation of power and balance.

Mu Qing looked down at the soft little body sitting in front of him, and was stunned for a while, but was interrupted by the laughter of the eldest grandson, "Qi Niang has ever looked at my pheasant slave?" ”

In response to the words of the eldest grandson, the nurse got up carefully, walked down from the steps, and hugged the splendid and luxurious swaddling clothes to show Mu Qing. Pheasant slave? Mu Qing frowned without moving, this child who carried the hopes of the eldest grandson clan was casually called a pheasant slave?

Mu Qing looked at the child, praised a few words according to the number of etiquette, and no one around should be with her, she suddenly remembered that the factor was not in harmony with the eldest grandson queen, and the eldest princess Gaomi did not enter the palace. Thinking about it this way, she felt strange that the people in this room had no friendship with her, and she was obviously out of place in this temple, blunt and weird, and she didn't know why she was summoned into the temple. Is it so that she can take a look at the newborn prince, or so that she can be close to Feng Ling? These reasons are too funny.

Mu Qing couldn't help but peek at the eldest princess of Changqing sitting opposite, and his mind floated: Could it be because of her? This is strange, what does the eldest princess of Changqing have to do with her life.

It was really hard to think about for a while, so I had to cheer up and deal with it for the time being, and then teased Feng Ling for a while, and received the porridge, thinking that the male ministers in the front hall were also going to retreat, so they were sent out of the palace by the inner supervisor one by one.

Mu Qing waited in front of the Suzaku Gate for a while, and did not see Du Ruhui come out, seeing that the sky was getting dark, an inner supervisor hurriedly ran in the twilight, bowed to her and said, "This is the right servant who shoots Du Gong's inner patron Mrs." ”

Mu Qing owes his body, "Ah Jian teaches." ”

The inner eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, "The saint left Du Servant to talk about it, I don't know when I will be able to come out, and I ask my wife to go back to the house first." ”

This is a matter of course, and sometimes he is summoned to the palace in the middle of the night, and it is not surprising to stay at this time, which is probably the most unusual of today's many unusual. Mu Qing nodded in thanks and led Shiro to board the car. (To be continued......)
