After Shang Qirui entered the palace, he did not go to the emperor first, but directly found the queen.

"Why am I willing to marry so far away?" Empress Xue sighed and said, "Rou'an was raised by me, what is the difference between it and my own biological daughter?" Besides, she was not in good health and married Shijian, so she must not be used to life...... However, I think this time, the emperor has made up his mind. ”

Seeing that Shang Qirui's face was not very good-looking, Empress Xue said again: "Don't think that your father is unkind, he is the Son of Heaven, so he naturally has to put the people of the world first, and everything you do must be considered from the overall situation." Although you defeated Shijian, part of the reason was that Shijian happened to be in civil strife, so you could take the opportunity to defeat Shijian. If the stone stream is put in order and attacks us again, although we may not be defeated, the losses will be very heavy. Harmony is also for the stability of the world. As a royal princess, after enjoying the honor, she must naturally be prepared to sacrifice for the world. ”

Shang Qirui couldn't refute this, the reason why he was able to defeat Shi Jian last time. It was indeed because he was reborn, knowing that the king of Shijian died at that time, and for the sake of the throne, there was turmoil within Shijian. That's why he was able to seize the opportunity and drive Shijian out of Jincheng in one fell swoop. However, he was not able to destroy the stone stream.

Empress Xue's words are right, Princess Rou'an, as a royal princess, does have many obligations that she has to fulfill. However, Shang Qirui couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, he was reborn in a lifetime, knowing that Rou'an couldn't be happy when she married Shijian, but he still couldn't save her, Shang Qirui felt that he was very useless.

Shang Qirui didn't go to the emperor again, and the queen has always been very good to Rou'an. If the emperor can get through there. She wouldn't have persuaded Shang Qirui to leave this matter alone.

Shang Qirui decided to go to Mu Wenhan first, if Mu Wenhan was unwilling to marry Rou'an, he would look for excellent young talents, in short, he couldn't let Rou'an marry Shijian.

Mu Wenhan responded to Liu Xianning's appointment and was eating in the most beautiful immortal residence. Seeing Shang Qirui coming, the group stood up and said hello.

Shang Qirui looked at it, most of them were talents in this department, and his heart was a little more settled, Dajin has so many talents. And he did not believe. Can't find a good colt.

Shang Qirui originally wanted to call Mu Wenhan and leave, but after having this idea. All drank a glass of wine first. Only then did he say to everyone: "I still have something." And Ki Gongzi first ~~~~, m.¤.covm took a step. I'll invite everyone to dinner when I get back. ”

Shang Qirui is like this. Naturally, no one dared to stay, and some inexplicable Mu Wenhan had no choice but to follow Shang Qirui out of the most beautiful immortal residence.

Seeing the two of them going out, someone from other places said, "His Royal Highness looks very easy-going." There is no shelf for a prince. ”

"Isn't it? The Third Highness is not only both civil and military, but also not arrogant. He is a very good prince. "Xue An has always had a very good impression of Shang Qirui. Busy continued.

The crowd suddenly echoed. Liu Xianning said: "However, the Third Highness has been very busy recently, if you usually come." His Royal Highness will definitely accompany everyone here to eat and drink. ”

"That's a pity, but His Royal Highness is the prince, so he is naturally busy. Fortunately, I will stay in the capital for a while, and maybe I will have the opportunity to eat with His Royal Highness again. Someone said with regret.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait a while." Liu Xianning said with a smile, "I see, His Royal Highness is probably busy with marriage." ”

"Marriage?" Gossip is not only the preserve of women, men also like gossip, especially since this is the marriage of the three princes, and there are naturally more people who pay attention to it. Liu Xianning's words just landed, and some people were anxious to ask for details.

"Our champion Lang is the eldest brother of our Third Highness, you should all have heard about this matter, right?" Liu Xianning said with a smile.

Almost everyone in the city knows about this, but people from other places don't necessarily know about it. As soon as Liu Xianning asked, some people said they knew, and some didn't know, and they were busy asking for specific details.

"Our sister-in-law of Zhuangyuanlang is not only beautiful, but also has good medical skills, not long ago, the emperor personally decreed that Sister Mu would be married to the Third Highness as a concubine." Liu Xianning solved everyone's doubts one by one.

"But how can I hear that Zhuang Yuanlang's sister-in-law is a cripple?" Some people came from Wucheng, but they paid a lot of attention to Mu Wenhan, and they said when they heard it.

"But she cured herself again, her medical skills are well-known in the capital, and He Guoyi is full of praise for her."

"The Mu family really deserves to be the largest family in the capital." Someone sighed, "Mu Gongzi won the champion, and Sister Mu is so powerful." ”

"Of course!" Liu Xianning said proudly, "Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness look at them differently?" ”

"Yes, Mu Gongzi and Sister Mu are excellent." Xue An also tried his best to echo this when he heard this, but he secretly felt sour in his heart, Mu Qingyao was even better, but it was a pity that he couldn't get it.

Feng Yuming smiled and watched Liu Xianning and Xue An advocate for Mu Wenhan's brothers and sisters, with strange expressions and didn't talk much.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Mu Wenhan came out with Shang Qirui, he saw that Shang Qirui's face had become ugly, and he felt uneasy, "Is it Qingge......?"

"It's not Qingge, it's Rou'an......" Shang Qirui paused halfway through.

"What's wrong with Princess Joan?" Mu Wenhan exclaimed, he didn't notice at all that Princess Rou'an had an accident, why did Shang Qirui come to find him.

Shang Qirui looked at Mu Wenhan, looked at it for a while, and said, "Rou'an suddenly fell unconscious, maybe ...... It's hopeless......"

"What?" Mu Wenhan was shocked, stumbled under his feet, and it took a while to stabilize his mind, "How can this be?" ”

"Alas, I can only blame Rou'an's bad life...... Shang Qirui sighed, and replied lightly.

"Qingge has never been, isn't the princess's body okay? How could this suddenly happen? Mu Wenhan was flustered, and he didn't pay attention to the loophole in Shang Qirui's words, "What's wrong with Qingge?" If Qingge can't do it, he will go to Doctor He, and there are so many capable doctors in the world, there is always a ...... who can cure Princess Rou'an."

Shang Qirui shook his head, only three words: "No help......"

Mu Wenhan ran to the palace with his legs pulled, but was stopped by Shang Qirui: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I ......" Mu Wenhan was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had no reason to finish watching Princess Rou'an, and his voice couldn't help lowering, "I want to go and see the princess......"

"The princess has someone to serve her." Shang Qirui pretended not to see anything, and resolutely stopped Mu Wenhan, "Qingge has gone home, if you have any questions, you can go back and ask Qingge." ”

"Your Highness, please help. Let me see you in the palace...... Meet the princess...... "Mu Wenhan lowered his head. Plea Shang Qirui.

"The princess is in a coma now, and she doesn't know when you see her, and besides, there are so many people in the palace. You're only afraid of gossiping...... Don't. Brother Mu, do you ...... Rou'an" Shang Qirui looked at Mu Wenhan in surprise.

"Your Highness's words can't be taken lightly." Mu Wenhan seemed to have been stepped on by his tail. jumped up suddenly, "Princess Yu's reputation is damaged." ”

"Yes, yes, yours." Shang Qirui agreed. "So, go back quickly, I just see that you have a good relationship with the princess on weekdays, so I will inform you. However, don't mention the matter of entering the palace to see the princess, it's not good for the princess's reputation. ”

Mu Wenhan opened his mouth and was completely speechless.

Shang Qirui kindly sent Mu Wenhan back to the door of Mufu, but he didn't go in, said goodbye and left.

Mu Wenhan returned home with one foot in a shallow foot, and he didn't even hear his subordinates say hello to him.

Back in his room, Mu Wenhan couldn't sit still, and ran to find Mu Qingge again.

Mu Qingge was in a bad mood, he was in a daze alone, and when he heard Mu Wenhan coming, he didn't want to see him. Su Mu said, "Young Master, today, it doesn't look quite right......

Mu Qingge can ignore anyone, but he can't ignore Mu Wenhan, so he cheered up and invited Mu Wenhan in.

As soon as she saw Mu Wenhan's appearance, Mu Qingge also "chuckled" in her heart, she had never seen such a depressed Mu Wenhan, it seemed that something really bad had happened.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Mu Qingge saw that Mu Wenhan had his mouth open, but he couldn't ask a word for a long time, and he was even more anxious.

"How's the princess? What the hell is going on? Why is it suddenly not good? Haven't you always been in good health with her? Mu Wenhan seemed to have suddenly regained his language ability, and asked a long list of questions cracklingly.

Mu Qingge, who asked, was stunned for a while, and after digesting it for a while, he understood what Mu Wenhan meant, it seems that Princess Rou'an is no longer good?

Mu Qingge was also taken aback, what happened to Princess Rou'an? What happened? Why is Princess Rou'an so unlucky that she has to be married to Shijian and suddenly fall unconscious?

Just as he was about to ask Mu Wenhan, his heart moved, and Mu Qingge asked Mu Wenhan: "Who sued your princess?" ”

"Do you still want to hide it from me?" Mu Wenhan said unhappily, seeing that Mu Qingge didn't speak, he said helplessly, "It's the Third Highness." ”

Sure enough, it was Shang Qirui, Mu Qingge immediately understood that Shang Qirui was deliberate. It's just to test what Mu Wenhan's feelings are for Princess Rou'an.

was unhappy with Shang Qirui in his heart, and Mu Qingge didn't want to cooperate with him in acting. was about to tell the truth, but he thought of Princess Rou'an's pity, so he endured it stiffly.

"My brother is so nervous, isn't he really interested in the princess?" Mu Qing said.

"Why are you all like this?" Mu Wenhan was furious, "The princess is like that, you are still entangled in these issues." ”

"If not, why is my brother so excited? Such a lost soul? Mu Qingge was not angry, but asked lightly.

Mu Wenhan was stunned for a moment, and then muttered: "She is a princess......"

"Just because she's a princess? Then brother don't have to worry, princess, there are many people who are worried about her, it's not your turn, brother. ”

Mu Wenhan was stunned, and he couldn't answer more and more, but his heart was already in chaos.

"I'll tell my brother the truth." Mu Qingge sighed, "Princess Rou'an is in good health, she is not sick or in pain." ”

"Then why ......" Mu Wenhan faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he didn't get angry, but only asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness just wants to know, what do you think about Princess Rou'an?" Mu Qingge didn't hide it from him, and said, "Princess Rou'an likes her brother, I don't know what my brother thinks in his heart?" ”

"The princess likes ......" Mu Wenhan was stunned, completely stunned for a while, and didn't know how to react.

Mu Qingge knew that although Mu Wenhan was smart, he was also good at reading. But after all, he is a young man with no emotional experience, and these things can't force him to be too anxious.

When the princess heard this, Her Majesty intended to marry Liu Qijie to her brother as a wife. I felt very sad and asked us to inquire what my brother was thinking. Mu Qingge paused, and said, "The princess is a girl, she can fight for love, I hope my brother can also follow his heart and bravely choose the woman he likes." ”

Mu Qingge sighed in her heart, she still concealed the fact that Princess Rou'an was about to be married to Shijian, she couldn't use this to bind Mu Wenhan's morality.

Mu Wenhan if he likes Princess Rou'an. Naturally, she hoped that they could be together. But if Mu Wenhan only married poor Princess Rou'an because she was about to marry her, it would not be love.

Mu Wenhan obviously hadn't been able to digest this matter in his heart, and looked at Mu Qingge blankly. I didn't speak for a while.

"Brother go back and think about it yourself. I only hope that my brother can be with the woman he loves. To remain a devoted couple to the end of their lives. I don't want my brother to be because of other factors in the outside world. Randomly choose someone you don't like. ”

Mu Qing sang the last sentence and sent Mu Wenhan out.

Mu Wenhan thought about it alone for a long time, but he didn't come up with an answer. He first heard that Princess Joan was dying. It was indeed very painful in my heart, but now I know that it was just a temptation. Mu Wenhan's heart was inexplicably a little annoyed, and by the way, he was also a little dissatisfied with Princess Rou'an.

"Young Master. The old lady, please come over. Mu Wenhan hasn't come up with a result yet. Then he came in to report, Mu Qi was invited.

Knowing that Mu Qi looked down on his children the most, Mu Wenhan hurriedly gathered those thoughts and followed Mu Qi's courtyard.

"What? Going out to socialize again? Mu Qi looked at Mu Wenhan. I was happy in my heart. finally lived up to his expectations. Won the top prize. It is not in vain that he expects so much from him. At this moment, the Mu family finally has sustenance.

Mu Qi's heart relaxed, and his mood improved. For Mu Wenhan, he is extraordinarily kind and pleasant.

"Yes, Liu Gongzi invited me today, and there are some of the same year that won this time." Mu Wenhan didn't dare to look at Mu Qi, and replied with his head down.

"What? Are you a little uncomfortable with this kind of life? Tired, right? Mu Qi saw that Mu Wenhan's interest was not very high, and said thoughtfully, "No way, these are the only ways to go." In the future, if you become an official, these people who passed the exam in the same year as you may become people who are very useful to you. So, even though some people seem less important now, they still have to maintain a peaceful relationship. lest in the future, when you want someone to help you do something, you can't open your mouth. In officialdom, the most important thing is connections. ”

Mu Qi only thought that Mu Wenhan was tired of socializing, and persuaded him bitterly.

Mu Wenhan felt a little cold in his heart, endured it for a long time, and still asked: "Perhaps, I can't be a high-ranking official in the future, so I can only get an idle position?" Last time, my knowledge is good, and I must be good at compiling books. ”

The latter words were Shang Jingdi's yes, but at that time, Shang Jingdi didn't mean that at all, Mu Wenhan deliberately did this, just to see Mu Qi's reaction to his inaccessibility. He knew very well in his heart that if he married the princess, it would be impossible to add an official to the knighthood according to Mu Qi's request, adding glory to the Mu family.

"Absolutely not!" Mu Qi vetoed Mu Wenhan's question in one mouthful, "The emperor did that last time, but he just praised you for your good learning." His Majesty also values you very much, he has already been with me last time, and intends to let you enter the Ministry of Officials to familiarize yourself first...... Moreover, even if the emperor doesn't give you real power now, you are relaxed, and I am here, how can I let you get an idle position? ”

Xu is in a good mood, and Mu Qi's words are not as calm and cautious as usual. The pride and ambition in his bones were finally revealed.

Mu Wenhan listened, but it was like someone poured a basin of ice water on his head, it seems that he can't marry Princess Rou'an.

"The grandson naturally believes in his grandfather's abilities." Mu Wenhan muttered that he didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that Mu Wenhan was really not in a state, Mu Qi said: "Since you are tired, go back and rest." You can rest assured, I will pave your way for you. ”

Mu Wenhan bowed and retired, only to feel that the whole person was fluttering, like a rootless duckweed, and then it might be blown away by the wind.

The next day, Mu Qingge had nothing to do, practicing calligraphy in the house, thinking about all the troubles that had appeared recently, he felt uncomfortable, and his writing was messy. Finally, he finally threw the wolf aside and planned to go out for a walk.

But I heard a quarrel outside, and if I listened carefully, it was Su Mu and the water kite. It seemed that a water kite was about to come in, but Su Mu stopped it.

"Come in." Mu Qingge raised his voice.

"Sister." Sure enough, Su Mu and the water kite came in together, the water kite was fine, as always, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but Su Mu stared at the water kite, looking very unhappy.

"What's wrong? What are you two arguing about outside? Mu Qingge looked at the two of them and asked. She knew that Su Mu was suspicious of the water kite, but Su Mu was a person from the city government, and she would not embarrass the water kite without evidence.

"Sister, don't you see this water kite problem. Yesterday, the water kite didn't know where to go all afternoon...... "Su Mu didn't say anything when he saw the water kite, so he replied first, and went through the matter of the water kite disappearing yesterday.

Mu Qingge also knew that the water kite must have gone to report to someone, and turned his head to look at the water kite: "Where have you been?" ”

I thought that the water kite would find all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, but who knew that the water kite said: "The slave maid went to see the third highness." ”

Shang Qirui? Mu Qingge was stunned, it turned out that the master behind the water kite was really Shang Qirui? Shang Qirui actually planted eyeliner next to him?

Seeing that Mu Qingge's expression did not get better, but became even more ugly, the water kite hurriedly knelt down: "The slave maid is in charge of the decision without permission, and I hope that my sister will punish her." ”

Mu Qingge stared at the water kite, and was noncommittal to her words, and only answered after a while: "You don't want to explain anything?" ”

"The slave maid was arranged by His Royal Highness to protect my sister." The water kite was obedient and immediately explained.

Mu Qingge couldn't help but snort coldly, protect yourself? Will you protect yourself from letting yourself know?

"Your Royal Highness heard at that time that my sister had been poisoned, and I knew that there must be people with ill intentions around my sister. If the slave maid comes directly to the sister, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of others, and only when the sister does not know the slave and maid's storage, can I better help the sister find the mastermind behind the scenes. "The kite usually looks silent, but I didn't expect it to be very skillful when it really speaks.

Su Mu looked at Mu Qingge in surprise, but Mu Qingge didn't say anything.

The water kite then said: "And at that time, my sister had just returned from Wucheng, and because of the affairs in Wucheng, His Royal Highness was very afraid that my sister would be implicated." That's why they sent slaves and maids to protect them secretly. In fact, at that time, there were indeed people who wanted to assassinate my sister, and some were blocked by slaves......"

Mu Qingge moved his eyebrows slightly, thinking of Qin's mother's injury and the assassins who appeared in the courtyard several times. Come to think of it, the one who helped me at that time was the water kite.

Mu Qingge didn't know what was good for a while, so she forgave Shang Qirui, she couldn't do it, and she couldn't forgive Shang Qirui to the water kite. Don't forgive Shang Qirui, it seems that he doesn't look interesting again.

"Since you are a member of His Royal Highness, and you are here to protect your sister, then why did you ask you last time, you didn't do anything?" Su Mu helped Mu Qingge ask the doubts in his heart.

"Don't dare to hide from my sister, His Royal Highness has told me before that I can't reveal my identity, so the slave doesn't dare." The kite kowtowed.

"Naturally, I'm not your master, you can not tell me the truth." Mu Qingge didn't pay attention to herself, there was some anger in her words, "Then what are you doing with me today?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare to make my sister angry, and after following my sister for so many days, I really treat my sister as my slave's own master." The water kite didn't care about Mu Qingge's ridicule, and said, "But since the slave maid has promised the Third Highness, she naturally wants to be clear to him." The slave maid went to see the Third Highness yesterday, the Third Highness, I hope that my sister can go to see him today, he has something very important to tell Sister Sù. ”

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the words of the water kite would end up on this. She originally planned not to see Shang Qirui these days. Unexpectedly, Shang Qirui had already installed someone beside him, and now he has found his head directly.

"I'm not available......"

"Sister." Before Mu Qingge finished speaking, he was interrupted by the water kite, "The slave and maid are soft-spoken, but some things are really not what my sister sees on the surface." Sister, think about it, how attentive His Highness is to you on weekdays, you shouldn't doubt him. At the very least, give him a chance to explain? ”

He said this as if he had no mercy on others. Mu Qingge mocked in his heart, what did he need to explain?

However, Mu Qingge thought about it and agreed to the kite's request. She has always been a calm person, now is not the time to be angry, and the matter of Mu Wenhan and Princess Rou'an has not been resolved. (To be continued...... ）
