Chapter 42: A Hand Behind the Back
Although the goal was not achieved, the news of Murong Yixuan's entry into the palace did reach the ears of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, the regent has just entered the palace."
"Oh? Is it? What did you say to the emperor? The Queen Mother picked up the teacup next to her hand, took a sip, and asked.
"Tong Hai's side has always had reservations, this time..."
"Enlightenment." The Queen Mother cut off her words and continued: "Tong Hai, the mourning family knows, but Murong Yixuan this time, what else can there be?" It's just for the sake of the girl. ”
"Mother, the Lord Regent will... Do you think the emperor will agree? Qiyue was a little surprised.
The regent really asked His Majesty for the sake of this woman?
"If the emperor agrees, then he is not the emperor." The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, put down the tea cup in her hand, and the crisp sound of porcelain knocked on the sandalwood, which was a little dull.
Aunt Qiyue was a little silent.
Indeed, it is unrealistic to ask His Majesty the Emperor to decree the matter of the Lord Regent today.
"Murong Yixuan's marriage was originally due to the mourning family, but now, the girl of the banquet family is really not like it."
"What does the Queen Mother mean?" Qiyue asked a tentative question, but did not want to get an answer.
"He went to ask for the emperor, but the emperor didn't give an order, what do you think the emperor means? This marriage is still due to the Yi family The emperor is now kicking this ball to the mourning family, and the mourning family has to do it if it is okay or not. ”
The Queen Mother obviously understood the emperor's intentions, but so.
"But the reputation of the eldest daughter of King Mu's mansion, I heard that there is a child, how can such a person give the regent a concubine?" Mu Yue. I was really a little surprised, if I was placed in such an identity as the regent concubine, it would naturally be appropriate, but after five years of vicissitudes, everything is different.
"Whether it is qualified or not, it is the emperor who has the final say, and now that the emperor has given this matter to the mourning family, it is naturally the mourning family who has the final say, even if it is not enough, this is also begged by the regent himself, and if others say that they have lost the face of the royal family, the regent himself has to bear the responsibility."
"That's why Your Majesty ......"
Although Qiyue understood the emperor's intentions, if the emperor suppressed people with the emperor, it would inevitably cause criticism, but if such a will was made by the queen mother, the emperor could be said to be relying on the queen mother's benevolence, and if she did not dare to disobey all the stakeholders, she would have to bear the responsibility of the queen mother.
Although this was begged by the regent himself, he had to let the Queen Mother bear these for him.
The Queen Mother pressed the corner of her eyes, whether it was the emperor or Murong Yixuan, this father and son were very good at the abacus, especially Murong Yixuan.
made such a big fuss, the whole capital knew about it, and now the royal family is riding a tiger, and he is on the fire, no matter what. It will damage the reputation of the royal family, and the only thing the royal family can do is to harm each other, whichever is less, can only pick a slightly better one among the rotten peaches than the rotten goods, so as not to make everyone's faces so ugly.
Qiyue didn't expect the regent to play this abacus and coerce His Majesty and the Queen Mother with the reputation of the royal family, this real regent's consistent style, just for a woman, is like this, it seems that the eldest daughter of Mu Wangfu is really interesting, but ......
"Since Murong Yixuan wants to fulfill the marriage contract, the mourning family will help him, but this marriage contract is not so easy to fulfill, and what happens is that the mourning family agrees, which is not against the previous promise." The Queen Mother didn't know what she thought of, and she actually promised this, but it greatly surprised Qiyue.
With such a big stake, the Queen Mother was willing to obey the regent's wishes, but then again, this regent has always been mysterious, and no one can figure out what this prince is thinking in his head.
"Qiyue, you go to the princess's mansion for the mourning family to spread the word, and tomorrow morning, ask the princess to hand over the sign, and the mourning family wants to see her."
"Yes, the slave knows."
In the evening of this day, Qiyue drove Jian Cong and came to Princess Rong's mansion to bring the will of the Queen Mother.
The princess listened, but was not surprised, it seemed that she had expected it and smiled slightly and continued: "Aunt Lao is going to go this way, the palace knows, tomorrow morning the palace will hand the sign into the palace, please rest assured that the queen mother, please say hello for the palace, there are still some things here in the palace, please aunt bring it back to the palace for the palace, and honor the queen mother." ”
"The princess is polite, it is an honor for the slave to be able to teleport for the princess." Qiyue naturally followed the precedent and made a polite gesture, and then hurriedly returned to the palace after the task was completed.
"Yixuan, this kid is playing with this hand, he is really amazing, even the queen mother was moved out by him, and he had to fulfill this wish for him, no, this kid!" The princess thought of something, but sighed a little.
I have always felt that my nephew is like a wolf lurking in the dark, usually well-behaved and smooth, but I don't know when, he will jump up.
"Your Highness's words are a little funny, if you don't have the means, how can Your Highness be able to live in the regent for many years, and I don't want to think about which regent is as young as Your Highness?"
"That's right, if there were no means, this kid would have been eaten by people and wouldn't even have bones left, and now he is the only one who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, where is there anyone else who eats meat and eats him!"
The princess was relieved when she thought of this, but this kid was really smart, what should she do with so many things in the future?
Judging from the conditions of Mu Wangfu, it is obviously not a good match, and it is a place where the concubine room raises her head, even if the girl is smart, but the words of the matchmaker of her parents, as long as Mu Wangye sets up any obstacles, it is enough for the two of them to toss, these two children, I don't know what debts they owe in their previous lives, what sins they have created in this life, and they have suffered these tribulations.
Regent's Palace
"Lord Wang, there is news over there, Aunt Qiyue in the Queen Mother's palace left the palace today and went to Princess Rong's mansion."
In the study, Murong Yixuan was splashing ink, and a secret guard on the side stood respectfully, reporting the news he knew with an expressionless face.
"I know, so with my aunt coming forward, things will be better, you tell all parties not to relax, this king wants to know the latest news, and the other is to ask people to stare at King Mu's side, today's matter This king has temporarily stepped back, and it has greatly grown King Mu's face, this king wants to see, will he still be able to laugh at this time tomorrow?"
Murong Yixuan is still confident, sometimes giving in doesn't mean retreating, some people laugh happily at the moment, can they still laugh on the second day?
"Yes, my subordinates know, what does the prince think of today's affairs in the city?"
Murong Yixuan didn't speak, only threw the brush in his hand into the pen wash, then looked at the secret guard who had followed him for many years, and asked him, after following this king for so many years, do you still want this king to answer this question? ”
"Yes, I know."
"By the way, you go and inform Lao Qi, there is a batch of goods at the west entrance recently, and we can't move it, but you have to check the details of this batch of goods to this king."
"Yes, I understand."
"Nothing else, you go down!"
"Yes, retire from your duties."
The Dark Guard went down quietly again.
Murong Yixuan's gaze stayed on the map on the wall.
