Chapter 142: Gift-giving

The queen pinched Mo Leyuan's face and said with a smile: "Your fourth brother is about to get married, how can you not be happy as a mother?"

The queen is still very happy to see Zheng Jiaying marry into the Four Princes' Mansion as a concubine, after all, if Zheng Jiaying gives Mo Qingyuan a side concubine, the position of the four princesses is still empty, although the power in the court of the Right Minister's Mansion is not particularly large, but it should not be underestimated, if Shao Qingyuan is made the fourth prince's concubine, the power of the four princes in the court will increase a lot, and although the Zheng family has no real power, there is also a title, Zheng Guogong can also speak in the court, if Zheng Jiaying really becomes a side concubine, Mo Qingyuan's help has increased a lot

But Zheng Jiaying, who has no real power in the mother's family, has become the concubine of the four princes, and the granddaughter of the dignified right prime minister's mansion will naturally not be a concubine with others, and then she will give Shao Qingyuan to others, then Mo Qingyuan will be regarded as missing out on the power of the right minister's mansion, how can the queen be unhappy?

Mo Leyuan also comprehended it, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is very happy, what gift did you say your daughter should give her?"

"This time Zi Gui'er is probably already preparing a gift to give" Thinking of the ghostly Xu Zigui, the queen couldn't help laughing, "Let Bai Zhi accompany you out of the palace for a while, you go to Weiyuan Houfu for a trip, and by the way, see what Gui'er wants to give."

"Okay, good" I heard that I could go out of the palace to play, Mo Leyuan instantly became excited, hugged the queen and coquettishly, "I know that the queen mother is the most happy"

"You kid" The queen nodded Mo Leyuan's forehead, suddenly became melancholy, and sighed: "You haven't seen your mother for several days, come back from Weiyuan Houfu to see her today, your mother misses you too"

"I know, I know" Mo Leyuan stuck out his tongue at the queen, and then leaned on the queen and coquettishly "Queen Mother, let me out of the palace"

"Just know how to play!" The queen pinched Mo Leyuan's nose and glanced at her, but she still let her go. Mo Leyuan cheered and ran out, and the queen couldn't help but remind when she looked at Mo Leyuan's back

"When you come back, remember to go to Yikun Palace to see your mother."

"Got it, got it"

After Mo Leyuan ran out of Fengqi Palace with a smile, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he glanced in the direction of Yikun Palace, and sighed at Bai Zhi beside him

"Bai Zhi, do you think I'm too unfilial?"

"Princess," Bai Zhi sighed. comforted: "You also have a last resort"

Mo Leyuan sighed. patted Bai Zhi's hand and didn't speak again, on weekdays, she was favored by the emperor and queen mother, and she was helped by her mother. looks beautiful on the outside, but few people can understand her suffering

She is neither a concubine of the middle palace, nor is she protected by a brother of a fellow mother, so she can only rely on pretending to be crazy and stupid all day long by the queen's side to please the queen. All I want is to make my mother live better in this place where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

On weekdays, she didn't dare to get too close to her mother, because she was afraid that the queen would be upset. Every time I miss my mother, I can only sneak to the gate of Yikun Palace in the middle of the night to stand for half an hour, and then return to my bedroom gloomily, every time I want to see my mother. I have to wait for when the queen remembers, and when she says that, she can pretend to be reluctant to go to Yikun Palace to see her mother

Fortunately, the queen really loves her. is also grateful to Concubine Cheng from the heart, and when she didn't see Mo Leyuan to see Concubine Cheng for a few days, she urged her to remember to go to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Cheng

Mo Leyuan sighed. Lifted the curtain to see where he was, but inadvertently skimmed the carriage of the right prime minister's mansion. I couldn't help but make the curtain a little bigger, and I wanted to take a closer look

"Princess, look, isn't that the carriage of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it looks like it's going to the palace in this direction."

Mo Leyuan frowned and wondered, "The Right Prime Minister's Mansion will know the news of the marriage so soon."

"No......" Bai Zhi frowned and guessed: "I just issued the decree, even if the news is delivered quickly, there is a distance from the palace to the right minister's mansion, and it shouldn't be so fast......"

"Princess, Weiyuan Houfu has arrived"

While the two were talking, they were interrupted by the coachman, Bai Zhi got off the carriage first, and then helped Mo Leyuan out of the carriage, and saw that Zidai was already standing outside waiting, Mo Leyuan couldn't help laughing

"It's been a long wait."

"The slave maid also just came out" Zidai led Mo Leyuan to Liuqing Courtyard with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's good for the princess to go directly to Liuqing Courtyard, and then go to Liufangzhai to visit our old lady later."

"Okay," Mo Leyuan nodded with a smile, "You're in such a hurry to find me, but Gui'er is in a hurry?" ”

"The slave maid doesn't know" Zi Dai shook her head and said with a smile: "The slave maid estimates that there is good news to tell the princess."

"Oh?" Mo Leyuan became interested, quickened his pace, and said with a smile as he walked: "It just so happens that I also have something to say to Gui'er, let's hurry up."

"What's the hurry" As soon as Mo Leyuan finished speaking, he heard a voice not far behind him and remembered, Mo Leyuan looked back and said with a smile

"It turned out to be you"

"Courtiers see princesses" Xu Ziruo smiled and took Mo Leyuan's hand

"Are you going to Liuqingyuan too?"

Xu Ziruo explained with a smile, "The courtiers just came out of Liuqing Courtyard and were about to go back when they met the princess here."

"It turns out" Mo Leyuan smiled and took Xu Ziruo's hand and took Xu Ziruo to Liuqing Courtyard, "That's it, let's go again together."

This sentence was heard by Xu Zigui, who was guarding the door, Xu Zigui glanced at Mo Leyuan with a smile, and said with a smile: "Anyang, you treat me here as a teahouse, and when you see someone, you will pull it in."

"Sister, this is disgusting with my sister," Xu Ziruo pretended to be sad and turned around, "So I'll go back"

"You can act" Xu Zigui smiled and took Xu Ziruo's hand, invited the two in, and asked Mo Leyuan, "Did you meet Shao Qingyuan on the road?" ”

Mo Leyuan raised his eyebrows, reacted after a while, and said with a smile: "I said how could the news come so quickly from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it turned out that you delivered the news."

Xu Zigui said with a smile: "The fourth prince is your brother, as your friend, he is married, I naturally want to give him a big gift, besides, I am just pushing the boat with the water"

"Tell me quickly," Mo Leyuan hurriedly pulled Xu Zigui and asked, "How to push the boat down the river, you can tell me"

"What's the hurry, let's have a cup of tea first" Xu Zigui handed Mo Leyuan tea while sitting between Mo Leyuan and Xu Ziruo, and told him what he had done

"I just wrote a letter to Shao Qingyuan in imitation of the notes of the four princes and sent it over, and I didn't do anything else, besides. Your fourth brother is about to get married, how can I not give him a big gift as your friend?"

"Master," as he was talking, Yue Rong came in with a smile and said with a smile: "The fourth prince threw Miss Shao out of the mansion."

"Oh? So fast? Xu Zigui hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly."

"Look at my sister's urgency," Xu Ziruo handed the tea to Yuerong, and said with a smile: "It's good to let people drink saliva and rest."

"You can do things!" Xu Zigui pinched Xu Ziruo's nose. Looking at Yuerong with a smile, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Yuerong saw Xu Zigui's urgent appearance. Hurriedly drank the tea in the cup, put the teacup on the table, and smiled and told what he had just seen with Shao Qingyuan all the way

"Miss Shao went to the palace first......"

Originally. Shao Qingyuan ran to Concubine Shu and cried after receiving the letter deliberately imitated by Xu Zigui, because she was annoyed by Concubine Shu's crying, she was invited out of the palace, and Shao Qingyuan did not return to the house after leaving the palace. Instead, he went directly to the Four Princes' Mansion and prepared to continue crying:

"The fourth master is so ruthless, and in the future, the fourth prince will marry a beautiful woman. You'll forget about Yuan'er."

"Yuan'er," Mo Qingyuan sighed, "You know that you are the only one in your heart, and marrying Zheng Jiaying is really a last resort."

"What is the last resort, you are obviously looking at Zheng Jiaying's face and the country and the city. I was moved, but I'm making excuses here! ”

"Yuan'er, it's obviously unreasonable!" Mo Qingyuan was a little annoyed by Shao Qingyuan. His face was not as kind as he was just now, but he vaguely showed a hint of impatience. If it weren't for the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Mo Qingyuan had already thrown her out, but at this time, he could only coax her patiently

"Yuan'er, the imperial grandmother has made a decree, Zheng Jiaying has become the lord's concubine and can't change it, although the lord can't marry you as a concubine, but if you are willing, the lord will welcome you into the mansion immediately, although the lord can only give you a side concubine status, but the lord guarantees that your treatment in the mansion will only be better than that of Zheng Jiaying, the concubine!"

Shao Qingyuan collapsed when she thought of the content of the letter, how could she listen to Mo Qingyuan's explanation at this time? Just now she had already cried in Concubine Shu's palace, and Concubine Shu was annoyed by her crying, so she only casually threw a sentence, "You are so intolerant, Qing'er in this palace is not blessed to marry you!" So he invited her out of the palace one by one

At this time, Shao Qingyuan was full of thoughts about Concubine Shu's words and the content of the letter, and she couldn't listen to any words at all, so she cried with her ears blocked

"My granddaughter, the right and right minister, will not be disgraced to the family by being a concubine at this time! There are still so many sisters in my right prime minister's mansion who have not yet left the cabinet, if I am a concubine with someone, how should they marry a good family in the future! Fourth master, you are really ruthless! ”

As he spoke, he brushed a set of tea sets on Mo Qingyuan's table to the ground.

Mo Qingyuan's patience was also consumed by Shao Qingyuan, but fortunately, there was still some reason, so he pretended to be angry and roared

"Do you not believe in Lord like this? How could you be willing to let you get hurt? If you really don't believe in the master, then there's no need to be here, you can go" As he spoke, he called his entourage and invited Shao Qingyuan out......

"Miss Shao got into her carriage crying after leaving the Four Princes' Mansion, Xu because her eyes were blurred with tears, she didn't see clearly when she got on the car, and she fell next to the carriage."

"Hahahaha" After listening to Yuerong's narration, Xu Zigui and the three of them all laughed and lay on the table, Xu Zigui smiled and said: "I guess tonight, the four princes will definitely break into the right prime minister's mansion at night to coax the sad Shao Qingyuan well"

Xu Ziruo also laughed out of tears, "I already think of Shao Qingyuan's appearance when she fell to the ground."

Mo Leyuan pinched Xu Zigui's hand and asked, "What did you write in the letter, which made Shao Qingyuan lose his sense at all."

"I didn't write anything," Xu Zigui calmed down for a while, and forcibly didn't laugh, "I wrote Li Taibai's 'Autumn Wind Words', and filled in a few sentences at the back"

"Don't sell it," Mo Leyuan leaned on Xu Zigui's shoulder and laughed out of tears, "Tell me what you have filled in later."

"Let me say, let me say," Xu Ziruo pulled Mo Leyuan's arm, smiled like a cat that had stolen a fishy cat, and pretended to be affectionate: "The eldest sister wrote in it, 'I have always been in love, but the fate is shallow, due to unavoidable reasons, I will be ordered to marry Miss Zheng, Yuan'er, you and I have no fate after all, but I have a deep affection for you, I don't know if you are willing to marry you as a side concubine, and I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Mo Leyuan looked at Xu Ziruo pretending to be affectionate and read out such a meaty sentence, he really couldn't digest it, he lay on the table and slapped the table and laughed, "How did you write such a meaty word?"

Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, "The reputation of a talented woman in Beijing is not false, this little thing can't help but make it difficult for me"

"You" Mo Leyuan nodded Xu Zigui's forehead and said with a smile: "When I came, the queen mother said that you must have been preparing a gift for my fourth brother's wedding, but I didn't expect the queen mother to know you quite well, but ......"

Saying that, Mo Leyuan paused, glanced at Xu Zigui, and frowned, "I think the queen mother has plans to point out Shao Qingyuan to others, if you match Shao Qingyuan to my fourth brother as a side concubine, wouldn't you help my fourth brother pick up the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion again?" ”

Xu Zigui smiled disdainfully after listening to Mo Leyuan's words, glanced at Xu Ziruo, and motioned for Xu Ziruo to answer for her

"The princess thinks that if the four princes don't marry Miss Shao, the right prime minister's mansion won't be the four princes?"

"How?" Mo Leyuan was puzzled, looked at the two sisters of the Xu family and asked, "The fourth prince has offended Shao Qingyuan, will the Right Prime Minister's Mansion still help him?" ”

"Hmph," Xu Zigui sneered, "Do you think the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will give up the interests of the entire family for the sake of a daughter?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Stupid" Xu Zigui poked Mo Leyuan's head and sneered: "The four princes have become more and more powerful in recent years, and at this time, the right prime minister's mansion has already boarded the boat of the four princes, if he takes refuge in other princes, the other princes will also estimate that he used to do things for the four princes and guard against him, and he will not be sincere to him, even if the one who has taken refuge in the future succeeds, the first one to solve it will definitely be him, do you think these results I can think of, will the right minister not think of it?" ”

"Yes" Mo Leyuan nodded, looked at Xu Zigui and said: "But if Shao Qingyuan marries the fourth brother, the right minister will definitely be more loyal to the fourth brother......"

"Even if Shao Qingyuan doesn't marry, the right minister has no other way than to be loyal to the fourth prince" Xu Ziruo interrupted Mo Leyuan's words and sneered, "The eldest sister's explanation just now is this reason"

Mo Leyuan nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then why do you have to go to great lengths to let Shao Qingyuan marry into the Four Princes' Mansion?" What are you trying to do? ”

Xu Zigui nodded incomprehensibly, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of tea, before he smiled meaningfully

"I have my own mind to do this" (to be continued)
