Chapter Ninety-Three: When Things Go Wrong, There Must Be Demons
Later, Mama Chu entered Qingxin Garden, and saw Cuigu standing among the flowers and trees in the yard collecting dew, so she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Cuigu, is the prince back?" ”
"I'm back, in the inner garden!" Cui Gu said with a cold expression, and didn't look at her, but just carefully collected the dew into the bamboo tube by herself.
"Oh." Mama Chu responded, frowned, walked towards the inner garden, walked a few steps, couldn't help but glance back at her, shook her head, after so many years, she was still obsessed with herself, didn't she know what happened back then, she just passed on a word, saying that the Huangfu clan did not agree with the old man to accept her as a room, not the Wu family's meaning, but she didn't expect that she even resented herself......
"What's the matter?" Ah Qi suddenly stood in front of her like a ghost, and asked in a rough voice.
Touching the red spots on her face, Mama Chu was startled, hurriedly looked away, and said expressionlessly: "Mrs. Tai asked the prince to go to Muying Hall, I am here to report to the prince." ”
"Got it, go back!" Ah Qi also said expressionlessly, "I'll inform you for you." ”
"Mrs. Tai is still waiting in Muying Hall, and I will wait for the prince to come out before leaving." Mama Chu was suddenly a little displeased, the people around the second young lady were really strange.
Ah Qi didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the inner garden.
Shen Qingli saw that Mu Yunting was sitting by the charcoal basin and roasting his hands as soon as he entered the house, so he got up and poured him a cup of hot tea and sent it over, smiling at him, "Why did the prince come back today and how early did he come?" ”
He used to come back at night.
Mu Yunting took the tea, looked at her seriously, and asked, "What?" You think I'm coming back early? Then I'll go to the last Hajj again. ”
"Then you can go, the whole hall is yours alone." Shen Qingli glanced at him coquettishly, "Then no one objected to what you said." His eyes touched his hand holding the tea bowl, and he felt embarrassed again. What happened last night is really embarrassing, and I won't go out when it's inconvenient to say anything in the future, I'm embarrassed!
Bi Tao and Momozhi pursed their lips and smiled. Knowingly, he retreated.
Only Ah drew a wooden stake and stood there motionless, as long as the master did not speak. She will never leave.
"Well, that's a good idea, then I'll wait until the evening to go to the court, but you don't have an opinion, right?" Out of the corner of his eye, Mu Yunting glanced at the maid standing by the window with unblinking eyes, and couldn't help frowning, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, this woman found such an ugly and strong maid to come to her side to protect herself. Or is it to prevent him?
"Of course no comment, what can I say?" Touching his meaningful gaze, Shen Qingli understood, his face turned red unconsciously, and he knew that he couldn't talk to this person about such a topic, so he went around himself three times and two times......
"But I have an opinion." Seeing her pretty, Mu Yunting didn't feel that his face was hot, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and asked quietly, "I heard that the Shilang Mansion sent a gift last night?" Take it out and take a look. ”
This time, I didn't wait for Shen Qingli's orders. Ah Hua strode out.
After a while, he walked in with a red lacquer plate in his hand.
In a mahogany box carved with a peony moire are two old ginseng trees, and the old ginseng is lined with a thick layer of silk underneath. Mu Yunting's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a closer look, this silk turned out to be silk woven from that kind of silk, so he immediately took out the old ginseng and put it on the plate, picked up the box and said, "You keep these two ginseng, I want the box." As he spoke, he got up and walked out, but saw Bi Tao walk in and report: "Shizi." Mrs. Please. ”
"I'll keep the box for you first, and I'll come back to get it when you come back from your grandmother." Shen Qingli hurriedly stepped forward to take the box.
"That's good. I went to court. He whispered in her ear.
She gave him a coquettish look, took the box and went into the back room.
"Jiro. Grandmother didn't sleep all night last night, and after thinking about it, I think I have to discuss this matter with you again. Huangfu said while scooping porridge for Mu Yunting, "Although the Su family and your father agree to see the meaning of the Eighth Prince, but grandmother always feels that there is something else hidden in this matter, Sanniang is certainly at fault, but the Eighth Prince is by no means a good type, he will not be as confused as Sanniang, grandmother thinks that he always has his purpose in doing this." ”
What heart-to-heart and affection are all what the stupid granddaughter thinks for herself, how can a man born in the royal family have a soft spot at all.
"Does grandmother suspect that the eighth prince does not agree to this family affair, but she refuses to say it because of the queen mother's face, so she wants to use the third sister to stir up this family affair?" Mu Yunting pinched his brows and said quietly.
"Do you think so?" Huangfu's face changed suddenly.
"Exactly." Mu Yunting nodded, carefully recalled every word that Huangfu Jin and Xia Yunchu said last night, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sun Er thinks that the eighth prince doesn't want to marry the Hou Mansion, but he doesn't want to give the position of concubine to the second sister. ”
"Do you know anything inside?" Huangfu looked at him with satisfaction, she couldn't count on her son, and the only thing she could count on now was this grandson.
Although she doesn't want to take care of this family anymore, she can't help but ask about such a thing.
"Grandmother, think about it, although my father is in charge of the guards in the capital, he is a deputy after all, he has no real power in his hands, and now he is making trouble in the outer room, and he is afraid that it is hopeless to be promoted in the future, and although his grandson is in a high position, he has no military power in his hands." Mu Yunting frowned and said, "And the concubine of the fourth prince is the concubine of the Great General's Mansion, General Li holds the military power and has been stationed at the border for many years, it is impossible for the eighth prince not to have other ideas." ”
If one day, it really comes to the point where the blades meet, except for military power, any high-ranking official titles are empty talk.
No matter how high the position is, it can't withstand the reality of millions of male soldiers.
"Could it be that the emperor and the queen mother don't know about these things?" Huangfu nodded, and suddenly felt blessed in his heart, if the eighth prince had the intention of seizing the prince, then it was impossible for him to put all his chips in the Yongding Marquis Mansion.
Besides, Huang Fuchen has already had a side concubine by his side, I heard that he is the daughter of a civil official, and his family is average, and there is only one concubine and two side concubines in each prince's mansion, if the Hou Mansion occupies the only two remaining concubines, at present, it is really unlikely.
"What about being informed? What if you don't know? At present, the border is not stable, the emperor always has to use people, and besides, the emperor is suspicious by nature, and it is impossible to be unguarded against these things. Mu Yunting said, "Grandmother, don't worry, these are just our guesses, in fact, what my mother said is not unreasonable, for now, we still wait for the news of the Eighth Prince, and then take a step at a time." ”
"Well, that's the only way to do it." Huangfu nodded, then remembered something, and asked, "Erlang, I heard that you rested in the inner garden last night, how is Li girl?" ”
She knew that the Shilang Mansion had sent a gift last night, and only then did she know that Shen Qingli had sprained her foot in the Shilang Mansion, but she almost forgot about it because of Mu Lin's matter.
"She's fine, just take two days off." Mu Yunting smiled, "Grandmother Lao is worried." ”
"It's fine." Huangfu sighed and said, "Hongyuan, grandmother knows that you have a lot of things to do recently, and you are busy with business, but no matter how busy you are, you can't neglect your daughter-in-law, don't forget, grandmother is still waiting to hold her grandson!" ”
What's going on in the house lately?
Not a single thing to be desired.
"Grandmother rest assured, grandchildren know." Mu Yunting nodded again and again.
As the two were talking, they heard a burst of talking from the courtyard, and then they saw Mama Chu hurriedly walking in and said, "Mrs. Tai, Shizi, Lord Hou came with the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince said that he came to ask Mrs. Tai for the guilt." ”
The ancestors and grandsons glanced at each other, and the Huangfu clan said in a low voice: "Hongyuan, you go to the Xinuan room first to avoid suspicion, I want to see how the eighth prince is guilty." ”
When dealing with the royal family, you have to leave a way back.
Mu Yunting went to the west warm room as he said.
Unexpectedly, Huang Fuchen sincerely apologized to Mrs. Tai, and also said that he had already been close to Mu Lin for a long time, and he just agreed with him, so he swore that he would definitely be good to Mu Lin in the future, but he would never disappoint Mu Yao or the like, in short, it meant to marry both sisters, and hoped that Mrs. Tai would not embarrass Mu Linyun.
Seeing that Mu Changyuan seemed to be relieved, the Huangfu clan secretly scolded him for being shallow-eyed, pondered for a moment, and asked quietly: "As long as His Royal Highness can treat Erniang and Sanniang well in the future, His Majesty naturally has nothing to say, and he will obey what His Highness said, but the beginning of next month is the day of His Highness's wedding, and I don't know when His Highness will take Sanniang into the house." ”
Anyway, Sanniang is already like this, and the horizontal and vertical are all his people.
"When the palace came, it had already asked people to check the date, saying that the twenty-second of this month was an excellent day, what did Mrs. Tai and Master Hou think?" Huang Fu Chen looked at Huang Fu and Mu Changyuan very seriously.
After all, this matter was his fault first, and besides, he didn't want to offend the Yongding Marquis Mansion because of this, so he had to lower his posture to ask for this family matter.
"Since His Highness has already found someone to see the day, let's set the day!" Huangfu nodded in response.
Huangfu Chen sat down for a while, and then left with a sigh of relief.
Mu Changyuan hurriedly got up and sent him off.
At this time, the grandparents and grandchildren fell into deep thought again, did Huangfu Chen really want to marry the sisters together?
Did they guess wrong?
The two were silent for a long time, Mu Yunting thought for a while, and said: "Grandmother, don't you think this matter is a little strange, why does Your Highness carry the third sister into the mansion first, instead of waiting for the second sister to enter the mansion before letting the third sister enter the door!" ”
Although it is said that marrying a side concubine is not as grand as marrying a concubine, after all, the wedding day has been set, and what can you do if you let the side concubine enter the mansion a few days later!
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"Hongyuan, are you saying that His Royal Highness will marry Sanniang first and then regret the marriage?" Huangfu couldn't help but gasp.
"With my understanding of His Royal Highness Eight, he will not take the initiative to repent of marriage, but will let our side regret marriage." When Mu Yunting said this, the more he felt that something was suspicious, and said in a deep voice, "Grandmother, don't worry, I know what to do." (To be continued)
