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.

"The princess heard that Her Majesty intended to marry Miss Liu Qi to her brother as a wife, and she was very sad, so she asked us to inquire about what her brother thought in his heart." 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.

If Mu Wenhan likes Princess Rou'an, she naturally hopes that they can be together, but if Mu Wenhan only marries her because poor Princess Rou'an is about to marry outside, it will not be love.

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

"Brother go back and think about it yourself, I just hope that my brother can grow old with the woman he loves. I don't want my brother to choose someone he doesn't like because of other factors in the outside world. ”

Mu Qingge said 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. When he first heard that Princess Rou'an was dying, his heart was indeed very painful, but now he knew 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. The little guy came in to report, and Mu Qi was invited.

Knowing that Mu Qi looked down on his children the most, Mu Wenhan hurriedly gathered those thoughts and followed the little guy to 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?" His Majesty also said last time that my knowledge is good, and I must be good at compiling books. ”

The latter words were said by Emperor Shang Jing, but at that time, Emperor Shang Jingdi didn't mean that at all, Mu Wenhan deliberately said this, just to see how Mu Qi reacted to his disappointment. 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 said that last time, but he just praised you for your good learning." His Majesty also values you very much, and he has already told me last time that he intends to let you get familiar with it first when you enter the Ministry of Officials...... 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 is 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 a reply, he didn't know what he said.

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 small 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.

"Miss." 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.

"Miss, the slave maid sees that this water kite is not a small problem. Yesterday, the water kite didn't know where to go all afternoon......" Su Mu saw that the water kite didn't speak, so he replied first, and said the thing that the water kite disappeared 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 and maid are in charge of their own affairs, and I hope that the young lady 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 Miss." 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 Highness heard at that time that Miss had been poisoned, and knew that there must be people with ill intentions around Miss Miss. If the slave maid comes directly to the young lady, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of others, and only when the young lady does not know the slave and maid's storage, can we better help the young lady find the black hand 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 speak.

The water kite then said: "And at that time, Miss had just returned from Wucheng, because of the matter in Wucheng, His Royal Highness was very afraid that Miss 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 the young lady, 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 to say for a while, just forgive Shang Qirui, she couldn't do it, and she couldn't tell the kite that she wanted to forgive Shang Qirui. Don't forgive Shang Qirui, it seems that he is a little uninteresting.

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

"Don't dare to hide it, Your Highness has told me before, you can't reveal your identity, so the slave doesn't dare to say it." 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 Miss angry, and after following Miss for so many days, she really treats Miss as her 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 has to make it clear to him." The slave maid went to see the Third Highness yesterday, and the Third Highness said that he hoped that Miss could go to see him today, and that he had something very important to tell Miss 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......"

"Miss." Before Mu Qingge finished speaking, he was interrupted by the water kite, "The slave is soft-spoken, but some things are really not what the young lady sees on the surface." Miss think about it, how much His Highness cares about 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......)
