in the gazebo.

"Auntie, it seems that this time my mother is determined to find a daughter-in-law for her son." Xia Shi looked at a few graceful figures under the lush shadows of the trees, pinched the teacup, and said in a low voice, "This year, there have been two flower viewing parties in Guangfu. ”

In the final analysis, his mother-in-law Huang still spoils Xia Yunchu too much.

Although his father was ruthless and forced Xia Yunchu to get married again and again, he was persuaded by the Huang family, saying that after all, it was a lifelong event, and he had to find someone he liked.

The ghost only knew what the person Xia Yunchu was like.

"The son of the world is twenty-one years old this year, and other people's sons and brothers have already had children at his age." Wang said disapprerovingly, "The prince has not married a wife for a long time, and those concubines in the backyard have long begun to be restless, and Mrs. has also wanted to avoid their children's soup and let them give birth to a child for the son, who knows, but the prince patted his ass and went to the barracks, and did not come back for two or three months, so angry that Mrs. insisted on holding two flower viewing sessions in a row to let him see his daughter-in-law, if he couldn't look down on it again, Mrs. said that she would let the emperor decree marriage." ”

"The prince has always acted unscrupulously, and now he has the support of his sister who is the queen, if he is unwilling, even the marriage of the royal gift will not help him." Xia said, his eyes fell on those willow green and red figures, and sighed lightly, "Looking at the many noble sons in the capital, there are really not many people who have such a free and easy temperament as Shizi, I don't know which daughter my father and mother like?" ”

Although the concubines are different, the relationship between the Xia family and Xia Yunchu is not bad, and they are naturally quite concerned about his family affairs.

"Now Grandpa Guo has become the new emperor's father-in-law. There is no one else in the eyes of Mrs., and some time ago she mentioned it to the queen, saying that Princess Nanxi has reached the end of her life, and it would be good if the prince could marry Princess Nanxi. The corners of Wang's mouth curled slightly, glanced at Xia, and said, "It's just that Princess Nanxi grew up beside the Empress Dowager since she was a child, and she is not close to the emperor, so presumably the Empress is not easy to speak rashly." ”

"Mother wants to marry Princess Nanxi?" Xia Shi was taken aback and said again. "What kind of cherry blossom viewing party is there in that house? Just wait for the marriage. ”

"It was the prince who disagreed. said that Princess Nanxi was still a child, and he didn't think about her at all. Wang looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, and said, "So Madame wants to give Shizi one last chance to see his daughter-in-law." ”

Xia sighed. No more squeaks.

"Lady. There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. But there has never been a chance. A trace of sourness suddenly appeared on Wang's face, and he said in a low voice, "Your father said. Wanyue's death had another hidden meaning, and he suspected that Mu Yunting killed Wanyue. ”

"Any evidence?" Xia Shi suddenly gasped.

How so?

Doesn't Mu Yunting love Wanyue the most?

"Originally, your father had already found out to Mu An through Yu Mutou of your Yongding Marquis Mansion, but later Yu Mutou and Mama Yang had an accident, and Mu An temporarily retracted his confession, and the matter had to be closed." Wang sighed, "Everything is ready, but there is a mistake in the last step, otherwise, the matter would have been solved long ago." ”

"Could it be that my father wants to avenge Wanyue?" Xia's face changed slightly.

"When the accident happened, Mu Yunting and Wanyue were there, and no one knew what it was." Wang said hatefully, "Over the years, I have always wondered, with Mu Yunting's riding skills and martial arts, how could he watch Wanyue fall off the cliff and die, especially when I heard that last time Mu Yunting and his daughter-in-law were in distress in Chongshui, Mu Yunting could jump with his daughter-in-law desperately, why couldn't he only treat Wanyue?" ”

At that time, the two of them were in love with each other, how could he let her fall off the cliff?

His thoughts were disturbed for a long time, and he heard Xia Shi say: "It's been so long, and if you get entangled further, it will only increase your sadness, but God has eyes, Mu Yunting is really in trouble this time, even if we don't make a move, his daughter-in-law will drag him down." ”

"What's going on?" Wang asked.

Xia Shi suddenly became interested, and added fuel and vinegar to tell how Shen Qingli disappeared, and said gloatingly: "It's been six or seven days, but the Hou Mansion is hiding it tightly, and not many people know about it, so it's just that our second young lady went to Jingzhou to move the grave." ”

"Second sister, you said that the second young lady went to Jingzhou to move the grave?" Xia Yunchu happened to pass by the mother and daughter, and when he heard the words of the second young lady, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "I said, why has Master Mu been sleeping in the barracks and not going home for the past two days?" ”

The Huang family sent two groups of people to the barracks to urge him back, but they didn't say anything, so much so that he thought that something bad had happened in the house!

Who knows, when he went home, he saw that it was a flower viewing party held in the house, so angry that he turned his head and left.

I accidentally passed by Xia's mother and daughter, and I heard about it by chance.

"If it really removes the grave, it's fine." Xia Shi immediately lowered his expression, sighed, and briefly said the story of Shen Qingli's disappearance, glanced at Xia Yunchu, and said quietly, "I really didn't know that Mr. Situ actually had such a leg with our second young lady, if the second young lady had no intention of Mr. Situ, but I didn't believe it, a slap doesn't make a sound, doesn't it?" ”

Xia Yunchu's face sank, without saying a word, he strode out of the house, his fists clenched secretly, Situ Kong, how can you treat her like this!!

"Shizi, you came back for me, didn't you see so many guests waiting for you?" Huang took a few steps, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and scolded in a low voice, "Don't be stubborn, today is your last chance, if you don't pick another one, your father will really marry Princess Nanxi back to you." ”

"If my father likes her, my father will marry her." Xia Yunchu said coldly and walked out by himself.

"You stinky boy, how can you talk like that." Huang's face flushed with anger.

"Okay, I still have something to do, let's go back to the barracks first." Xia Yunchu said impatiently, completely ignoring the loud shouts of the Huang clan behind him, hurriedly walked out of the mansion, turned on his horse, and ran straight towards the barracks.

asked Mu Yunting.

The guards said that the fourth highness of Shicai came down to find Lord Mu to ride a horse. The two of them had just left a cup of tea.

"When Master Mu comes back, you can tell him that I have some personal affairs recently, and I have to leave for a few days and ask him for a leave." Xia Yunchu threw down these words, hurriedly went back to the house and simply cleaned up, took two henchmen with him, and galloped away towards the outside of the city.

"My lord, where are we going?" An attendant stepped forward and asked.

"To the Western Regions." Xia Yunchu gritted his teeth and said, "Go find the second young lady of the Yongding Marquis Mansion." She was kidnapped by Situ Kong. ”

Up to now. His sweetheart.

"Go to the Western Regions to save the second young lady?" The attendant was shocked, "Shizi, this matter is not trivial, isn't it a bit reckless for us to do this?" Would you like to discuss it with a Muslim person? ”

"What are you discussing?" Xia Yunchu said angrily. "Mu Yunting, that bastard. To die is to save face and suffer sin. The daughter-in-law was lost, and she still had the heart to ride a horse with others, and the second young lady followed him. It's kind of unlucky. ”

"But, but my lord, the second young lady is the wife of Lord Mu after all, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be so impulsive?" The attendant frowned.

is not related to each other, so go all the way to find someone else's daughter-in-law, if Mu Da people know, what will they think?

"I can't care so much, I'll go to the Western Regions to see her first." Xia Yunchu pondered for a moment, then calmed down and ordered, "Remember, I'm going to visit Mr. Situ on this trip. ”

"Yes." The two attendants nodded in response.

The three of them whipped up and galloped away.

"How's going on with Madame Zun?" Huangfu Zhuo grabbed the reins, looked at the overlapping mountains in front of him, and said expressionlessly, "If you can't rest assured, you will set off for the Western Regions." ”

Such a thing, Mu Yunting naturally would not hide it from Huangfu Zhuo.

"As soon as I move here, Situ Kong's side will know and will definitely take precautions, even if I go, it will be difficult to find her." Mu Yunting sighed, "There are five days left to celebrate the birthday of the old princess of the Western Regions, and the emperor will send me to send congratulatory gifts to the Western Regions, and then I will be able to lead my troops to the Western Regions naturally." ”

If he could, he would have gone long ago.

"Hongyuan, it's really hard for you." Huangfu Zhuo patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "On the one hand, we have to protect Mrs. Zun's reputation, and on the other hand, we have to plan to save people." ”

Huangfu Zhuo naturally didn't know about the grievances and grievances between Situ Kong and Shen Qingli, he thought that Situ Kong's kidnapping of Shen Qingli was just out of revenge for Mu Yunting.

"It's my fault that I didn't protect her well and let Situ Kong take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole." Mu Yunting smiled reluctantly, "I hope Your Highness is tight-lipped about this matter, if you let the Guogong Mansion and the Jin Wangfu know about this matter, they will definitely prevent me from going to the Western Regions." ”

"Don't worry, I won't let them know." Huangfu Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Before, you strongly opposed the emperor sending Chicheng to the Western Regions, why are you so obedient to give Chicheng away?" Is it just to take the opportunity to meet Madame Zun? ”

"Of course not." Mu Yunting said in a deep voice, "Before, I objected to the emperor giving Chicheng to the Western Regions, because I didn't want the territory to be divided, and now I agree to give Chicheng to the Western Regions, that's because I found that Chicheng has been looted by war for a year, the city has been seriously damaged, and the people have been displaced. ”

Mu Yunting said it seriously, and Huangfu Zhuo smiled heartily: "Mu Daren's account is really clear, if Situ Kong knew Mu Daren's thoughts, I'm afraid he wouldn't want this hot potato." ”

"It's a congratulatory gift for the old princess, he will definitely want it." Speaking of Situ Kong, Mu Yunting's eyes dimmed again, he didn't dare to think about what Shen Qingli would experience in the Western Regions these days......

In short, it is certain that he and Situ Kong are incompatible.

As long as he lives, he will not let Situ Kong go, and he will die without a place to be buried.

The two were silent for a moment, Huang Fuzhuo still looked into the distance, and asked faintly: "Hongyuan, I know that you don't want the emperor to ascend the throne in your heart, but why did you persuade me not to fight at the beginning, I believed in you, so I let the soldiers not move, these days, I have been asking, is it right or wrong for us to do this?" ”

On the day of Emperor Zhaowu's death, if it weren't for Mu Yunting to stop him, maybe this would not be the case at this time.

The winner is the king, and the loser is Kou.

Perhaps, he will be the one who sits on the throne.

Perhaps, the person who has been reduced to a prisoner or a different place will also be him.

"Your Royal Highness, the matter was urgent at that time, the situation was beyond our control, the queen and the queen mother at that time were all supporting the crown prince's accession to the throne, and the queen still had the backing of the self-combing pavilion in her hands, and my soldiers could not enter Beijing to escort them, so we had no other way but to follow the arrangements of the queen and the queen mother." Mu Yunting said calmly, "Therefore, His Royal Highness must bring those old ministries held by the Empress Dowager under his own name." ”

"I know what to do." Huangfu Zhuo frowned, and glanced at Mu Yunting with a complicated expression, if this person had a heart of disobedience, then the world would have changed hands long ago.

Mu Yunting smiled and didn't squeak.

At night, Shen Qingli lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep.

Every time she thinks of her son, she will be sad for a while, often crying and swollen eyes, he is still so young, he left the arms of his mother, and I don't know if he will cry at night, when the nurse is breastfeeding, will he caress his soft hair, he likes this action, often eats and feeds, and falls asleep.

Since the last fever was cured, she has run out of milk.

It made her very sad.

What if Brother Hao wants to feed after he goes back?

Thinking about it, her tears fell again.

Maybe the days are really half sweet and half bitter.

She used to be too sweet, so she had to suffer a little.

But what can come to an end in these hard days?

She worries about her son!

The moonlight outside the window spilled in through the lattice unbridledly.

Sprinkled a light layer of white on the ground.

Shen Qingli sat on the bed with his knees crossed, looking at the moonlight on the ground in a daze, presumably Mu Yunting was thinking about how to rescue her at this time!

"What are you thinking?" The door opened softly, and Situ Kong walked in quietly.

"Nothing!" Shen Qingli hurriedly wiped his tears.

"Li Niang, can't you forget Mu Yunting, can't you forget your child?" Situ Kong looked at her with a smile, touched the tears in her eyes, turned his face away, and didn't look at her, "Remember what I told you, the more you are concerned, the more I don't want to see you." ”

"I'm just homesick." Shen Qingli saw him sitting next to her, so he moved to the side, and began to feel anxious in his heart, what was he doing at such a late hour?

"Li Niang, I will give you a home, a home that belongs to me and yours." Situ Kong hugged her, pressed her down on the bed, and said hurriedly, "Li Niang, can you accept me?" ”

"No!" Shen Qingli exclaimed, struggled to get up and pushed him away, blushing and said, "Sir, don't, give me a little more time, I'll think about it." ”

"Li Niang, I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm already impatient." Situ Kong hugged her without saying anything, and gasped, "These days, you appear in front of me every day, I can't control it for a long time, don't be awkward with me anymore." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to kiss her.

"Sir." Shen Qingli hurriedly broke free of his hand and said urgently, "I'm not having trouble with Mr., but I'm really unwell tonight, and Mr. will wait for me for a few more days." (To be continued......)
