176: The concubine said kiss
Ling Mo and Xiao Xuan were finally ordered to be evicted by Mu Huanyan and broke up unhappily.
After Ling Mo returned to the palace, he went to Jiashun Palace, the imperial concubine was in a very good mood recently, and was pruning flowers in the courtyard at this time, Ling Mo stepped forward and said, "The son and the concubine see the mother." ”
"It's the emperor who is here." The imperial concubine put the scissors on the tray held by Mama Li, and Ling Mo quickly helped her and accompanied her to the stone bench and sat down.
"Mother, my sons have something to ask for."
The imperial concubine looked at Ling Mo's serious appearance and thought to herself, this child has been very strong and self-reliant since he was a child, and he rarely asks her for this word, it seems that it must be a very important matter.
"It's definitely not easy for the emperor to open his mouth."
"The mother concubine is amazing, she can see through it at a glance."
"However, since you have said that you have begged, no matter how difficult it is, the mother concubine has to give it a try? Say, what's the matter? The Imperial Concubine looked at Ling Mo with a smile.
"Erchen wants to marry the lord of Heyue County......"
Before she finished speaking, the imperial concubine stood up, put on a straight face, and said, "This thing is impossible!" ”
"Mother, don't worry, listen to what your son says." Ling Mo pulled the imperial concubine and asked her to sit down.
The smile on the imperial concubine's face was gone, she had a gloomy face, sat down and said, "What is her identity, don't you know, tell me such things, what are you thinking in your head?" After saying this, he said to Mama Li, "You all stand down." ”
After everyone in the courtyard left, Ling Mo smiled and said, "Why is the mother concubine so prejudiced against her?" ”
"That girl is smart, but her identity is really inappropriate. Do you still know in your heart the path that our mother and son have taken? You will be the emperor in the future, if you marry her, she will be the queen, and the mother will never allow this to happen. ”
Everyone thought of Mu Huanyan like this, Ling Mo was very satisfied, that's it, it could have an effect.
"Mother, it has been more than three months since the queen died, and the sons heard that the father and the emperor intended to make you the queen. But I still have some scruples in my heart. The sons and daughters have been in front of their fathers and emperors all these years, and because of this, the father and the emperor can be okay with the sons, if the mother is the queen. The father will definitely be worried that his sons will have ambitions to take the heir. If Erchen marries Mu Huanyan, it will be different. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The imperial concubine also knew that the emperor intended to make her the queen. So in recent days. The mood is all very good.
"If the son marries the second miss of the Mu family, the father will feel that there is more Mu Yaotian behind the son, and the father is very suspicious. There must be some worries in my heart, but what about Mu Huanyan, everyone in the capital knows that she is not liked by Mu Yaotian, and she is a coffin boy, marrying her is tantamount to cutting off her future, in this way, the father and the emperor have no scruples about our mother and son, mother, this plan is definitely a clever plan, and it will even help you become the queen as soon as possible and take charge of the harem. ”
Listening to Ling Mo's explanation, the imperial concubine felt very reasonable, but she was still a little worried, held Ling Mo's hand, and said earnestly: "Emperor, the coffin boy is really very ominous, you are taking a big risk by marrying her, if it is to you, if the danger is to you, what is the point of the mother concubine being the queen?" ”
"Mother, they are all saying that the coffin boy is ominous, but look at it, since Mu Huanyan was born, has the Mu family suffered any heavy blows? Not only not, but Mu Yaotian's official position is getting higher and higher day by day, from a small Chinese army general in the past to a first-class general, and his father is relying on him more and more, what an ominous person, Erchen feels that it is a little superstitious, Mu Huanyan's ability You have only seen it, having her by Erchen's side will only help Erchen, why don't we use this as a way to achieve great things. ”
"It still makes sense to hear you say this, but you just canceled a marriage, and you are still the second lady of the Mu family, is it convenient to go and talk to the emperor now?"
"Give it a try, maybe my father will agree."
"Well, I hope so."
The two chatted a little more before Ling Mo got up and said goodbye.
In the afternoon, the imperial concubine sent someone to inquire about the emperor's review in the imperial study, so she asked Mama Li to carry a bowl of ginseng soup and accompany her to the imperial study.
Gonggong Chen went in to report, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you outside." ”
"Let her in."
Gonggong Chen walked out and said with a smile: "Imperial concubine, the emperor is invited." She took the tray from Mama Li and personally carried it into the emperor's study.
"The concubine has seen the emperor."
"Let's be flat."
The emperor was also a little tired, so he took this opportunity to stretch his waist.
"You work so hard every day, the concubine is very distressed, drink a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish her energy."
The emperor took the bowl, drank a few sips, put it down, and said, "What's the matter with looking for me?" ”
"The emperor was clever, so he guessed that the concubine had something to do."
"After so many years of husband and wife, I still don't know you."
The imperial concubine lowered her head and smiled, and said: "The concubine thinks that the third prince is not too young, and the prince has already married, and wants him to get married as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the second lady of Mufu has no fate with him." Although the third prince is not born to the concubine, but after so many years, the concubine still loves him as his own son, and the concubine must work hard for his life's major events. ”
"I don't know which girl you fell in love with? Let's hear it, if he is a match for the third prince, I am also happy to see him get married as soon as possible. ”
The imperial concubine pursed her red lips lightly and whispered: "The eldest lady of the Mu family, Mu Huanyan, the lord of Heyue County." ”
"She?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, how could the imperial concubine fall in love with Mu Huanyan, could it be that she didn't know that Mu Huanyan was a coffin boy?
"Does the emperor think it's wrong?"
The emperor didn't answer immediately, pondered for a while, and said: "Mu Huanyan is a coffin boy's business, almost the entire capital knows that I agree to this family business, isn't it a little unfair to the third prince, what should others think of me as a father?" ”
It turned out that the emperor did not disagree with this matter, and the imperial concubine was overjoyed, "In fact, the concubine also knows about this, but the third prince also has this intention for the county lord of Heyue, although he did not say it, but the concubine can see that he still likes the county lord." At that time, I was attending a birthday banquet in Mufu, and I saw that Miss Mu Er almost fell, thinking that Miss Mu Da also cared about her sister, so I had the heart to go up and help her. The third prince has always respected the emperor very much, since he made a holy decree, he also acquiesced in this matter, and now General Mu has retired from this family for some reason, and the concubine thinks that he can marry someone he likes. As long as the three princes like it, the concubines don't care about what coffin boy is not coffin boy, at most in the future, she will be a princess, and it won't affect the overall situation, your Majesty, this is a lifelong event for the three princes, just beg you once as a concubine, and fulfill that child. ”
The emperor listened to the words of the imperial concubine, especially the sentence that was at most to be a princess, it seemed that Ling Mo had already thought about withdrawing from the battle for the throne when he made this decision, which was also a good thing. It's just that Mu Huanyan is too smart, is it good or bad to marry the third prince?
"This matter is a matter of importance, Rong Zhen will consider it."
"The emperor is willing to think about it, and the concubines are grateful, this is the path chosen by the three princes themselves, so don't feel sorry for this child." The imperial concubine also solved the emperor's concerns, and waited for him to make the marriage.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully, you can step back first, there are still a lot of twists and turns to be approved."
"The concubine retired." The imperial concubine saluted him and slowly retreated.
Not long after, Concubine Mei, who had never gone out, also came to the imperial study, and the emperor was overjoyed and walked to the door to greet him.
"The concubines see the emperor."
"Why should you be polite, please come in."
For Concubine Mei, the emperor still likes it very much, otherwise he would not have bothered to marry her as a concubine. It's just that over the years, she has never deliberately pleased him like other concubines, and even the opportunity to come to him in person is only a handful.
After sitting down, the emperor smiled and said, "What kind of wind blew you here today?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine ......" Concubine Mei paused, still a little weak in her heart, after all, the emperor was not good to her, but she had always been very cold to him.
"If there's anything to say, I won't blame you."
"That's the case, Xuan'er he fell in love with the county lord of Heyue, and the concubine also had a two-sided relationship with the county lord, and he liked her very much, since Xuan'er also liked her, the concubine thought of coming to the emperor to ask for a holy decree and give the county lord of Heyue a marriage to Xuan'er."
The emperor frowned, what's the matter today, they all came to marry Mu Huanyan, that girl was mediocre, and his three sons all fell in love with her, which should not be underestimated.
Seeing that the emperor didn't reply, Concubine Mei continued: "You also know Xuan'er's body, it's rare for him to have a girl he likes, the concubine wants to fulfill him in her heart, and the emperor ......."
Concubine Mei knelt on the ground, and tears fell with her.
The emperor hurriedly helped her up and said, "Why are you doing this? Get up and speak first, the imperial concubine also came to me and asked to marry Mu Huanyan for the third prince, Mu Huanyan has only one, I really don't know who to give her to? ”
Concubine Mei had already learned about this from Xiao Xuan's mouth, so for the sake of her son's lifelong happiness, she made a special trip, but she didn't expect that the imperial concubine was still in front.
"Since the third prince also likes Mu Huanyan, Your Majesty, what do you think you can do about this?"
"I'm thinking about it, too."
"The concubine knows that this makes the emperor a little embarrassed, agreeing with this and disagreeing with that, it will make people think that the emperor is partial, why don't you ask Mu Huanyan what she means, and see if she likes Xuan'er or Mo'er?"
"There are so many daughters in the capital, I really didn't expect that my son would be reduced to the point of letting other people's girls choose." The emperor felt that this was not a good thing.
"This can only show that Mu Huanyan is attractive, and the concubine wants her to be a daughter-in-law even more."
"For the sake of fairness, I can only summon her into the palace to ask her opinion, and when there is news, I will inform you." (To be continued......)
