Chapter 488: Ask Again, Follow Me?
The voice from behind him made Mu Xiyue and Situ Muxue tremble, and the words they were about to say were swallowed back instantly.
"Now that the court situation has not completely stabilized, it should be difficult for the prince to have spare time, how dare a small family banquet nag the prince and delay state affairs?"
Mu Xiyue's words came out, and even Situ Muxue's face changed, her words gave the prince a big hat!
Any issue rises to the level of the state, even if the prince has something to say, he can't say it now.
"Busy is busy, there is still time for a glass of wine! Looking at the way you look, it doesn't seem to welcome Hongu? ”
The corners of the prince's lips twitched, and there was a touch of embarrassment on his face, he knew that he couldn't get any benefits from Mu Xiyue, but he still couldn't help but look for it
Listening to the prince's words, the corners of Mu Xiyue's lips twitched uncontrollably, and she rolled her eyes secretly, she was not very welcome, but since she came, she couldn't drive people out, right? In any case, the prince did help a lot during this time.
"How so? If the prince can come, it will naturally make my Mufu shine, and I can't ask for it! ”
Mu Xiyue said in one sentence, without any feelings, saying that it was perfunctory but it made people unreasonable, but it was just a little more raw and alienated when she heard it in the ears of the prince.
"You don't look like someone who can say something like that!"
The corners of the prince's lips were hooked, his sharp eyes looked towards Mu Xiyue, and he was about to speak, when he saw Situ Muxue next to him, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
"This palace has a few words I want to say to the county lord of Xiyue, Miss Situ might as well go to the front hall and wait for a while!"
Changed back to the usual tsundere majesty, the prince's voice carried a sense of oppression that was difficult to refuse, making people have no choice.
Situ Muxue had been standing on the side and did not speak, when she suddenly heard the prince's words, she turned to herself, trembled suddenly, raised her head to look at the prince, and then turned to Mu Xiyue.
"This ......"
had long known the prince's attitude towards Mu Xiyue, Situ Muxue didn't dare to put herself here, looking at Mu Xiyue's gaze with a little hesitation.
"Mu Xue, you go to the front hall now, I'll come over to look for you later."
The corners of Mu Xiyue's lips were hooked, with a little relief on her face, since the prince had found this place, he had something to say.
I was worried, but Mu Xiyue said so herself, Situ Muxue also had to leave, looked up at the prince, and finally turned around and walked towards the front hall.
Situ Muxue's figure disappeared, and the corners of the prince's lips hooked up with a touch of playfulness: "I really appreciate you more and more!" ”
Suddenly hearing the prince's words, Mu Xiyue's face couldn't help but be a little surprised, and she turned her face to look at the prince, and there was a little doubt in her eyes.
"I don't think the prince came here to praise me!"
Facing the prince, Mu Xiyue was as alienated and indifferent as usual, and after saying a word, her clear eyes looked at the prince with a compelling courage.
It seems that he has become accustomed to Mu Xiyue's attitude, and the prince doesn't care, he turned to look at Mu Xiyue, and his face was a little more solemn: "Bengong asks again, do you want to talk to Bengong?" Choosing this shrine can only be good for you! ”
For the Celestial Empire, the support of the queen's strong maiden power behind the crown prince will help the prince ascend to the throne, but once the prince ascends the throne, the so-called maiden power will be even greater.
At the same time, the choice of his crown princess must appear uncontrollably in this family, and the power is in the hands of one party, which is not a good thing for governing the country.
There is only one Mu Mansion behind Mu Xiyue, or there is no power at all, at this time, the best choice for the queen's position is Mu Xiyue, who has no roots and no branches behind her.
"Thanks to the prince's love...... Mu Xiyue picked the corners of her lips inadvertently, without finishing a sentence, she turned her face to look at the prince, took the gaze in his eyes, and sighed slightly: "It's just that people will inevitably be cold when they stand in a high place, and people like me who are not cold still like to be at the bottom of the warmth." ”
"You're such a strange woman!" The crown prince sighed, turned his face to look at Songzhu in the distance, and then retracted his gaze to look at Mu Xiyue: "This palace has just received a secret report, the Red Flame envoy has already gone on the road, and in two months, he will come to my Heavenly Empire." ”
"There's really no need for the prince to tell me this."
Mu Xiyue turned to look at the prince, with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes, she didn't think that she was qualified to talk about the court situation after the last time she rescued the driver.
"When the Lord of Lijun was very young, there were many people who admired him, including the Eighth Prince, who was still the prince at the time, and the Eighth Prince, in order to see the Lord of Lijun, once came to my Celestial Dynasty without permission and almost died, and now the truth of your Mu family has been announced to the world, you and your sister are the orphans of the Lord of Lijun, and the Eighth Prince has the news to have his current action."
As the prince spoke, his sharp eyes looked at Mu Xiyue, seeing that she still didn't understand, the corners of his lips leisurely brought out a touch of mystery: "According to the news from my people, the envoy this time is the prince of the Eight Princes' Mansion, Lei Tianchen!" ”
"What the hell are you trying to say!"
Mu Xiyue's face couldn't help but change slightly, a little more nervous, hearing this, since she understood a little, this mission, if she didn't guess wrong, should have come to marry!
Looking at Mu Xiyue's nervous face, the prince was a little happy, he confessed to her many times and was rejected, and now Chiyan has come to marry to show goodwill, in such a situation, it is impossible for the emperor to refuse out of consideration for the entire Celestial Empire.
However, the other party's purpose is also very clear, that is, the two children left by the lord of Lijun, Mu Xiyue has been assigned to marry, but Mu Xiyan has not!
"What this palace wants to say is what you think, now that the position of the crown princess of the East Palace in this palace is still vacant, maybe we can take precautions before Lei Tianchen comes."
The prince's face was a little more solemn, and his eyes looking at Mu Xiyue were also a little more indescribable. Hope, Bai Ruqin is dead, for him, marrying anyone is the same, since this is the case, he prefers to marry someone who can be equal to his throne.
Knowing what the prince meant, Mu Xiyue's face couldn't help but fall, and even her voice was cold: "My marriage with my sister will not be used as a transaction, I don't care about the so-called Jiangshan Sheji, not to mention, Jiangshan Sheji is not maintained by the sacrifice of women, I believe that even if the emperor sees the face of our dead parents, he will not persecute our two loyal orphans, the prince is worried about us, Xiyue is here to thank you!" ”
"You!"
Mu Xiyue's straightforward refusal made the prince's face a little unbearable, but when he thought about it, he couldn't find a word to refute it.
If it really comes to that time, I'm afraid that the emperor will not open his mouth to mention their sisters as Mu Xiyue said, if it is pressed, there will be a concubine in the palace, Chiyan may not be able to do so this time!
"You really can't get in the salt!"
The prince pulled a face to look at Mu Xiyue, and saw that people didn't care at all, and he was even more angry, if there was a wall in front of him, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to punch it before he relieved his hatred!
"Just now, the last general was still looking for the prince everywhere, so you turned out to be here!"
When Mo Yichen's voice came from the bamboo forest behind, Mu Xiyue and the prince couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Bengong said a few words to Xiyue, but it was just delayed." The prince's face changed quickly, and as he spoke, he looked up at Mo Yichen, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he brought out a sneer, and continued: "Don't misunderstand! ”
After the prince finished saying this, a wicked smile quickly flashed in his eyes, he didn't think much about it, but he would think a little deeper about it!
Mu Xiyue's face darkened, looking at the prince's gloating appearance, she really wanted to slap his face!
"There's nothing to be mistaken about!" Mo Yichen's face remained unchanged, and as he spoke, he crossed the prince to Mu Xiyue's side, took her hand and turned to the prince: "Today is the day when our Mu Mansion is stable, if the prince is glazed, he can drink a few more glasses." ”
With the sentence "I Mu Mansion", the prince was dumbfounded, and looked at Mo Yichen and Mu Xiyue holding hands in a daze, showing affection with a smile on the corner of his lips, like a bun blocked in his throat, suffocating uncomfortably!
Vestibule.
Song Yuanchun and Situ Muxue helped Mu Xiyan to clean up, and the sixth prince and the seventh princess arrived just in time, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.
When the seventh princess saw Mu Xiyue, her face suddenly showed a little joy, and she came up and grabbed Mu Xiyue's hand: "Sister Xiyue, did I behave very well last time!" ”
Mu Xiyue hadn't seen the Seventh Princess since the last time the Thirteenth Prince forced the palace, and now looking at her little face with a bit of childishness, it was really hard to imagine that this child was like an adult that night, calm and unhurried.
"Yes, I've been busy lately, and I haven't had time to enter the palace to see Concubine Duan!" Mu Xiyue let the seventh princess hold her hand, her face narrowed slightly, with a little tenderness.
"The Queen Mother praised me for not being in danger! Oh, by the way, my mother asked me to bring a gift! ”
The seventh princess looked proud, and as she spoke, she reached out and took out the box that Concubine Duan brought over, and at the same time, she turned around and dragged Mu Xiyan beside her: "There is also Sister Xiyan!" ”
The sentence "Sister Xiyan" made Mu Xiyan's heart tremble suddenly, and her cheeks were sour and she almost cried.
I still remember the first time I went to the palace with Mu Xiyue to meet Concubine Duan, the seventh princess gave her a warning in person, and now she is willing to call her sister, which means that she has accepted it!
Looking at the change in the expression on Mu Xiyan's face, Mu Xiyue's heart changed slightly, the seventh princess has always been a straightforward personality, but she didn't expect that Mu Xiyan would have such a big mood swing, it seems that the care she usually gives her is not enough, this child still has no sense of security!
The brocade box was opened, it was a one-to-one identical jade pendant, the whole body was green without a trace of impurities, and the gold wire inside hooked a "Mu" word, such a precious jade, such a delicate craftsmanship, so that the people present were stunned.
"The mother concubine said that this jade can be passed down from generation to generation, and with their own home, the two sisters must also love each other."
The seventh princess conveyed Concubine Duan's words far from the original, Concubine Duan is a person who has come over, and she can see some small plots between sisters even more thoroughly.
Situ Muxue watched the Seventh Princess put the two pieces of jade in the hands of Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan, and subconsciously grabbed her face and glanced at the six princes, her expression changed slightly, bringing out an indescribable expression.
