Chapter 340
Mama frequently gave Ouyang Yun, who was more and more impulsive the more she talked, but her eyelids were about to twitch Ouyang Yun's elm head just didn't open her mind, and said that it was okay to envelop the Wing King for the eldest prince, why did she see the Wing Queen but sarcastically ridiculed the Wing King for not being married yet? It's not about sprinkling salt on people's wounds, it's making friends or making enemies, can you have some brains.
The grandmother, who was about to be angry by Ouyang Yun, took a deep breath several times, and forcibly pulled Ouyang Yun's wrist to take him away so as not to say something inappropriate, don't think that the Wing King can endure this evil breath on the street.
"The concubine should go back quickly, so as not to get angry and hurt the child in her belly because of anger." Hongrui glanced at Ouyang Yun with a strange tone.
"Mama has to hold the concubine steady, so as not to fall on my master without paying attention to her feet, slandering the master and plotting to kill the emperor's heir." Hongrui said this to make Ouyang Yun feel guilty, "It's really immoral enough to make a raft with a child." โ
"You ......" Ouyang Yun was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, and as soon as she turned her eyes to look at the Wing King, who had been silent, she let a maid ring speak, and the master and servant were not afraid of jokes when they were upside down.
"I've heard people say that people are most likely to be born prematurely when they are angry, especially according to folk legends." Undisguised eyes on Ouyang Yun's stomach back and forth, Hongrui was thinking about the possibility of Ouyang Yun's premature birth, and suddenly remembered what the master had said about dystocia, and solved the problem of the eldest prince and the king to get rid of Ouyang Yun, who came out from time to time to hang in front of people's eyes.
"Miss, pay attention to identity." The underlying meaning of the words was to let Ouyang Yun stop making trouble, and he didn't see the people around him who were probing and gossiping. Fortunately, those good deeds did not dare to get too close, and the content of what they said could not be heard really, otherwise they would have become a big laughing stock in Beijing for a while. When the eldest prince learned of this, he didn't eat the brainless Ouyang Yun alive, and Mama felt tired, how many years less would such a master have to live.
Ouyang Yun came back to his senses and didn't want to lose face on the street and humiliate himself, he glared at the cheap hoof hatefully, and the Wing King who didn't care about anything, it was extremely hateful.
"We'll see!" Ouyang Yun threw this sentence at Hongrui in a vicious voice, raised his head and turned to leave. Only the hand holding Mama's arm revealed the state of mind that was not indignant at this time.
Mama was grabbed by Ouyang Yun in anger, even if it was painful, she didn't dare to break free, Ouyang Yun was not in a good mood at the moment. I don't want to be the one who ignites the fire.
"She's here to find fault?" Is there such a masochistic person, Hongrui suddenly felt very ridiculous, "It's like this all back, this is a typical example of getting more and more courageous?" "The head is called a donkey to kick it.
"It's all good to be disturbed by such a shameless person." If it weren't for Ouyang Yun's dependence on Ouyang Yun, Ouyang Yun on the top of his head would have tasted what it means to be poor and white, and be ridiculed by the world.
"There won't be any bad news for the master tomorrow, right?" Hongrui looked around, and the onlookers in the distance had dispersed. There are still a few who frequently look over here. I am worried that this matter will have a certain impact on the master.
"Is there still less gossip, let them spread." Xi Chao no longer cares about the criticism of the speech, and the stability of the position falls on the body in terms of the harsh speech, but the drizzle can't hurt people, and there is no need to be anxious about false rumors.
"That's right." Hongrui saw that the master didn't take it to heart, and she was a lot relieved.
"Where next?" Hongrui doesn't want her master to be disappointed, how difficult it is to come out once, and she is busy with this and that all day long.
"You choose." The Shiojo did not have a definite goal, except to buy what was needed. There is rarely something or a place that causes a rise.
"Okay." Hongrui's mind instantly popped up with many places she wanted to go, and she took her master to walk around one by one.
I saw a master and a servant walking away. The scattered people gathered back together to discuss and exchange with each other what they had heard or seen.
"The pair of master and servant who left before were a lady with a big belly, and they seemed to have a lot of background." One person should be the first to gossip, "Listen to what that maid said about the concubine." โ
"Isn't that the side concubine of the Great Prince's Mansion?" Someone clearly explained the identity, "The other pair of masters and servants must be the Wing King, yes." โ
"There are no more than two types of people who know a deep lady, one is a family member, and the other is an acquaintance who has known each other a few times, and it is normal to come forward to greet her." One of them took over and continued.
"Why don't you look like two sisters catching up?" The atmosphere was slightly tense, and everyone with eyes could see it, especially the pregnant lady's face changed.
"No, these two sisters in the Prime Minister's Mansion have different lives, one is the high-flying Wing King, and the other has been married to a wife for many years before she is pregnant." The do-gooder inadvertently said some facts.
"Of course, one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, and they don't have the same fate." Someone said, "Who is the king of the wings, the pillar of the country, the important ministers in the court, how much effort he has contributed to the people and the country, how can he be compared with the women of the deep house, isn't that insulting." โ
"The two have always been at odds, and they won't come forward to say hello when they see the coldness of the Wing King." Everyone in Shangjing knows about it, and Shuangshu in the Prime Minister's Mansion is even stranger than strangers.
"I saw that it was the side concubine who stepped forward, and then the maid beside the Wing King went crazy." Although I couldn't hear the conversation, I could tell from the facial expressions of the two parties that it was unpleasant.
"I think I heard half of it." One of them scratched his head and said, "If it's about marriage." โ
"Speaking of which, the age of the Wing King is a bit too old." Most of the people revere the Winged King, and hope that the Winged King will have a smooth life.
"Don't talk about this, in case the rumors turn out to change the flavor and bring trouble to the Wing King." A wise man immediately stopped what he was saying.
"Yes, yes, yes, you must not cause trouble to the Wing King for no reason." Many people echoed, chatted a few words and dispersed, the matter has not been too outrageous so far, after all, untrue speculation without knowing the inside story will cause trouble, that is the Wing King, slandering the prince of a country is a warning or a crime, but it is terrible, and the common people dare not spread rumors and make trouble indiscriminately.
Ouyang Yun, who was on fire in her belly, returned to the house and smashed again, and she didn't feel distressed when she saw it. The tea sets in the house are very expensive, how can they resist Ouyang Yun doing this from time to time.
It's important to be distressed and distressed, how can grandma come from Ouyang Yun's temperament. Persuasion is to persuade, and the rhetoric is still the same, but they all follow the child in the womb, and see how good it is to stop in a few months.
Ouyang Yun stroked her bulging belly with her hands, and the little life grew in her body, and she could feel the little life moving, and her face couldn't help but be filled with joy.
Seeing that Ouyang Yun was honest. Mama let out a long sigh, and mentioned a little that Ouyang Yun shouldn't be so impulsive, and how to talk about it is a sarcasm. If you let the eldest prince know how to live, and there is a plan that has been planned for a long time, do you want to spend it well!
Ouyang Yun pursed her lips unconvinced, she didn't want to. It's just that it's not easy to see the Winged King. The words are not brainless, and they are not intentional.
Mama really wanted to be vomited blood by the stupid Ouyang Yun, not on purpose, I was embarrassed to say, what would I do if I did it on purpose! Where is it doing the eldest prince a favor, it is purely doing a disservice.
Mu Zhao was indeed going to be vomited to death by Ouyang Yun, who was as stupid as a pig, and when he learned that there were new rumors outside, he was still involved in the Great Prince's Mansion, and after learning the content, he gritted his teeth with hatred. If it weren't for the child in Ouyang Yun's womb, how could such a woman who was not successful enough to succeed and who was more than capable of pit herself still stay in the mansion intact.
The days go by quickly. In a blink of an eye, on the day of the palace examination, the candidates waited outside the palace early, received the number plate, and waited anxiously to enter the majestic palace to meet the emperor with the dream of ascending to the sky.
Because there are many people who refer to it this time, the hall can't be put down, Mu Jin mentions that the weather outside is just right, and the examination room is put outside, and the courtiers have no objections, so the candidates have already set up a neat table outside when they arrive, and the objects are ready properly, and they find their positions according to the number plate, and their mood is surging up and down, and they don't know what it feels like.
At this time, the courtiers lined up to come, at the forefront of the candidates, the candidates gave a half-salute to the civil and military officials under the signal of the eunuchs, and their hearts were a little abrupt, they never thought that there would be so many officials participating in the palace examination.
"The emperor has arrived." With a shrill voice, Mu Jinming appeared in front of everyone with Xi Chao.
The civil and military officials and a group of candidates knelt down and bowed three times to shout long live, and then heard the emperor call above, looked up and saw the wing king sitting on the emperor's right hand, and didn't pay attention to it for a while.
Mu Jinming announced the start of the palace examination, the first question was from the Xi Dynasty, and the remaining three questions were selected by himself for a long time, and the courtiers gave them a seat, after all, they couldn't stay up when they were old.
"What are the opinions on the foreigners, and solve the danger of the frequent incursions of the foreigners." Xi Chao thought of this topic temporarily.
This question is not too difficult but it is not simple, for most candidates, entering the officialdom is the material of being a civil official, and some questions about the work of the military attache are not good to give exact answers, which will inevitably cause top-heavy and cyclical suspicion to make jokes, and can only think about it solemnly, Mu Guo has already experienced a war, although it is true that you Rong is victorious, but it is something that everyone is happy to see with foreign people, the treasury cannot afford to consume, and there is no certainty of success or failure. We have to find a way to solve the problem without going to war.
Candidates who have ideas calm down and start answering the questions, and when they have already answered the questions, they do not feel the feeling of being watched by the officials and the emperor like a man's back, and they get rid of a qiฤ distraction and concentrate on answering the questions.
After the half-day four-question test, the candidates were a little tired, and their expressions were a little relaxed.
At the end of the palace examination, the candidates were led out of the palace when they came, looking back at the towering vermilion palace gate away from them, imagining what it would be like to be able to stand in official uniforms and re-enter the palace in the near future.
The courtiers who had completed a major event were idle and began to think about other things, and suddenly found that not only the emperor was an adult, but also the Wing King was about to be, bah, this can't be said like this, it should be the Wing King who is now nineteen years old, what a terrible age this is, other people's daughters marry early, have children, and teach each other at home, on the other hand, the Wing King has no intention of getting married, so how can it be done.
Since the emperor did not say anything about receiving the Wing King into the harem, it can be said that there is still room for turning around, since the emperor did not make any statement and did not openly announce the relationship with the Wing King to the subjects of Mu State, then the Wing King has the right to marry.
Speculating on this, the courtiers were all ecstatic, the emperor had already married a concubine, and there was no reason to detain the Wing King and not allow him to marry without giving him any title. Knowing this, the courtiers were a little moved, and the fat of the Winged King was already more valuable than ever.
Think about the son of his family who is about to become angry, just waiting for the nomination of the gold list to have a good honor to get married. The question of the Winged King was once again pushed away by the courtiers.
"The Wing King is nineteen years old and twenty years old this year, and he has indeed reached the age when he should get married." In fact, she can already be regarded as an old girl, but the face of the wing king is still as beautiful as sixteen or seventeen, I really don't know how to maintain it, and there is no yellow-faced woman who has participated in the border war, not to mention the courtier gossip, people know that common sense is unavoidable.
"You mentioned it. Indeed, it's a pity that the identity of the Wing King should be married or should he be married? This is really hard to say before the emperor speaks, and the officials frowned in unison.
"Of course it's marrying. How can she marry a daughter, it has become a strange story for thousands of years. "What are you talking about, the words of marriage have been brought out, really." It should be done according to common sense. "Anything that goes out of the cabinet has to be a joke.
"So everybody has a chance." Some of the words speak for themselves. The officer laughed meaningfully.
"Of course, if you let the Wing King choose, it will only increase the tide, and it will be even more beautiful to have a son and a half daughter in the future." Some officials can't help but imagine a bright future, and the prosperity of the family winged king is just around the corner.
"Hmph, it's beautiful to think about, don't say that the Winged King will not marry for the rest of his life, don't forget the unclear relationship between the Winged King and the emperor, even if the Winged King agrees. The emperor may not be willing to promise. "I can't get used to seeing an official sรจ, and a basin of cold water is poured on his head. It makes some people with other intentions feel cold.
"How did I forget to have this stubble, if this is true, it is really not easy to do." The face shows a sad expression, and the illusion is ruthlessly shattered, leaving only reality.
"The last excerpt will be played tomorrow morning, first explore the emperor's tone, and then make plans." It's like knowing the difficulty and letting go of the Wing King, a fat meat that looks at the thief's greed.
"That's all there is to it." I have no bottom in my heart, and I become weak when I speak.
The next morning, an official came out to invite, "The Winged King has passed the age of marriage, and it is useless for the Winged King to delay it like this, so I implore the emperor to decree a good marriage." โ
Mu Jinming heard this kind of incident again, and he was not very interested in the courtiers' rehashing of old things and nothing new, and his eyes slightly narrowed and mocked that these people were really idle, and he still did not give up the idea of fighting the Xi Dynasty.
"What does the Winged King think?" The problem was directly pushed to the Xi Dynasty to be decided, Mu Jinming himself felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and the excuses in the past were no longer easy to use today, anyway, it was better to solve it together if he couldn't hide it, and the courtiers of the province were always worried.
Xi Chao didn't raise his eyelids and said: "According to the wishes of the ministers, is this king marrying or marrying?" "This matter is obviously aimed at themselves, and those ministers who want to take the opportunity to cling to it are really beyond their means.
"As a prince, you should marry according to the ancient rites." The official who came out of the list said, "Men should marry women when they get married, and this has been the case since ancient times. The rest of the ministers did not speak, but only watched from the sidelines, and first found out what the emperor was thinking before he spoke.
"Oh, in your opinion, whose family should this king marry into?" Xi Chao casually opened his mouth and glanced over the ministers present, taking in the feelings shown by the courtiers in his eyes.
"This has to be decided by the emperor." The officials wanted to be cheeky and carry out their own family, but they were afraid of public anger, so they directed the problem to the supreme emperor, after all, the marriage of the wing king was caught in the hands of the emperor, and the courtiers said that it didn't count.
Mu Jinming sneered, and looked at the ministers below, "I can't be the master of the marriage of the Wing King, before the first emperor died, he said that the marriage matter is decided by the Wing King himself, and I only play the responsibility of selecting and watching." โ
The expressions on the courtiers' faces were colorful when they heard this, why didn't the emperor say this earlier, he knew that the center of gravity was on the Wing King, so he didn't have to be so cautious and tempted.
Mu Jin couldn't care what the courtier's mood was, so he exchanged glances with Xi Chao, and was waiting to hear the following.
The ministers understood the internal cause and had a new plan in their hearts, the emperor said this, obviously not very happy with the wing king to marry, from this it seems that the entanglement between the emperor and the wing king is very deep, but no matter how Lang has a concubine, he can not interfere with the harem, and how to live with a wing king on the top of his daughter when he enters the palace, is it necessary to live and be widowed, then it will not send people in vain to destroy, not to mention the fight for interests.
"The matter of marriage is a private matter of the king, and has nothing to do with the courtiers." Xi Dynasty couldn't see the courtiers' intention to coerce him to get married, and seeing that the eyes of the officials of the Great Prince's faction were extraordinarily bright, he couldn't wait to set the result now.
"The prince's lifelong events are related to the whole country, and the people's attention to the prince is especially strong, and I implore the prince to put the people first." Although the words are not very reasonable, the high hat is not less.
"If you have such idleness to stare at the private affairs of this king, it is better to put your mind on the right path." How could the Xi Dynasty do what they wanted, "This king felt that the courtiers were too idle. โ
When the ministers heard this, they chuckled in their hearts, and secretly said that it was broken, this was to use the topic to play, but fortunately, they didn't get dizzy and rushed forward.
"That's true." Mu Jinming still didn't know Xi'er's thoughts. "Since some people are too idle, they will go to Tongzhou to be of appropriate age and do something practical for the people." In one sentence, the Sanpin Daren has become a seven-pin county order, and it is also a remote area where the bird does not pull eggs and is a poor rural place, is there still the possibility of promotion there, it is obvious that the drama of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys is clearly displayed.
The courtiers felt a chill in their hearts, and secretly said that it was dangerous, it seems that the emperor is iron-hearted to the winged king and will not let go, typical of a courtier who sings with a red face and a white face who pits a handful of happy courtiers.
The official who played was demoted, and his face was gray, especially remembering that he could not lose his honor in front of the palace, so he had to obediently twist his brows and swallow thousands of bitter water to receive the decree and thank him.
After this incident, no official in the court dared to mention the affairs of the Wing King, and everyone was afraid that the next unlucky ghost who would follow in the footsteps would be himself.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Xi Dynasty stayed and went to the imperial study with Mu Jinming, and the current newspaper that had just been sent to various places today needed to be reviewed.
"It seems that most people are not giving up." Mu Jinming didn't understand where the courtiers got the courage to mention again and again to force the Xi Dynasty to marry, "What do you mean?" โ
"The best way to solve me is to find a legitimate reason to lock me up, marrying someone is exactly what those people want, trapped in the mansion and not appearing in the court under the pretense of husband and children, hindering the eyes of some people." Xi Chao suddenly smiled lightly, "This matter can't be dragged on, you can't hide from the fifteenth day of the first month, you can't be satisfied with the status quo for the rest of your life, and the courtiers are afraid that they will go crazy." โ
"It's good to be crazy, it's too wide." Mu Jin has endured the courtiers for a long time, and it is unknown when it will break out. (To be continued......)
