187: One stone stirs up a thousand waves
Slowly approaching, stopping five steps away from the dragon case, the woman knelt on the ground.
"Daughter-in-law Mu Xue sees her father, may her father live Jin'an, auspicious health and peace."
Although there was a fine cold sweat in Mu Xue's palm, her voice was still stable at the moment, and there was a touch of respect in it.
There were not many people present, except for the emperor behind the dragon case, the only people sitting on both sides were Mu Zhennan and Nangong Li, and the prince Mu Xue thought was not here.
In fact, the prince also wanted to come and listen to it.
But the emperor did not invite the crown prince over.
"The courtier Mu Wanting knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Mu Wanting knelt down behind Mu Xue and saluted the emperor.
Mu Zhennan's two daughters have their own characteristics, and the emperor's eyes fell on Mu Wanting when she spoke.
Great displeasure flashed between his eyes.
He has eyeliner in the General's Mansion, and on the second day of junior high school, he has heard of how this Mu Wanting slandered his most beloved son.
The image in her heart has been broken, no matter how much Mu Wanting shows off at this moment, she can't please her in front of the emperor.
"Flat."
The emperor's tone was light, and he couldn't hear any preferences.
The two got up at the same time, and Mu Xue's eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Nangong Li the moment they got up.
Nangong Li was holding a cup of tea in his hand, as if he had specially cooled Mu Xue, and waved to Mu Xue casually.
"Little Cher, come here....."
Mu Xue's face flushed slightly embarrassed, and when she heard this, she went to Nangong to leave there.
"Sit here...."
Nangong Li's gaze fell lightly on a chair next to him, but Mu Xue was not hesitant, did not shirk, and immediately passed.
"Come, drink tea...."
It was the tea that Nangong Li had drunk, Mu Xue pursed her lips slightly, and took the tea he handed over.
So far, from the time Mu Xue entered this room to the present time when she was holding the tea he brought over, she had never looked up at the emperor from beginning to end.
Although she didn't know the rules next to her, ordinary people were not allowed to look directly at the emperor's face.
That's a big disrespect!!
The intimate behavior of the two of them and their naturalness fell in the eyes of the emperor, and although he was happy in his heart, he never showed half of it on his face.
And Mu Wanting stood in the middle, but no one paid attention to her.
Mu Zhennan was already very dissatisfied with her going out for a whole day with the prince and other foreign men yesterday, and at this moment, seeing the person in the middle of it, she frowned slightly and reprimanded: "You don't stand aside yet." ”
Mu Wanting felt aggrieved, and immediately aggrieved, retreated to Mu Zhennan's side: "Yes." ”
"Mu Aiqing, in fact, I believe in the innocence of your General's Mansion in my heart, but the matter is related to your General's Mansion after all, so I made this decision to urgently summon you back, firstly, to investigate, and secondly, to find out clearly, so that the cultural relics officials do not know the ins and outs of the matter, and always think that I am biased against your Mu family."
The emperor recently took the good medicine that Nangong Li found for him, and his body will be stronger than before.
The words are full of energy, and with the majesty of a person who is not cold in a high place all the year round.
As soon as you open your mouth, there is a shocking ingredient in it.
In fact, the emperor's words are also ingenious.
He meant to tell Mu Zhennan.
I urgently summoned you back to cooperate with the investigation, not because I didn't believe you, but because I wanted to give an explanation to the civil and military officials.
That's why I'm going to summon you to the Imperial Study to question you.
The common problem of the superiors is that they will say so beautifully and beautifully before doing things.
Mu Zhennan was full of marching and fighting, where could he hear that the emperor was going to take off his suspicion of others, so he only arched his hand and said: "Yes, the old minister understands that the emperor is in charge of everything." ”
"That's good, but since Aiqing, you also said that this matter has nothing to do with your General's Mansion from beginning to end, naturally, I have wronged your General's Mansion now, and I will definitely compensate you."
When talking about compensation, the emperor's gaze slanted at Mu Wanting.
Compensate?
No matter how nervous Mu Zhennan is, he feels that things seem to be a little strange.
Didn't the emperor urgently summon himself back to check the general's mansion?
Why did he say that he had found out without even asking, and said that he had wronged his general's mansion?
He himself said that it had nothing to do with the General's Palace.
The emperor believed in himself so easily?
Mu Zhennan frowned, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, although the old minister interrogated the people guarding the carriage in the palace overnight last night, they all said that they didn't know, but Your Majesty, do you need to torture again?" ”
"Huh..."
The emperor pushed his hand, with some pampering in his tone: "Where Mu Aiqing said this, I naturally believe what General Mu said, and besides, General Mu, you won't lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot." ”
Mu Zhennan always wrinkled his brows, and carefully pondered the emperor's words in his heart, always trying to taste the meaning behind him.
But before he could come up with a reason, the emperor spoke again.
"Before summoning Mu Aiqing to come over today, Prince Shun, the youngest emperor of Qian'er, brought his youngest son Nangong Yue into the palace, that Yue'er, this year is the same age as Li'er, and it is also time to marry a wife."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Xue looked at Nangong Li with suspicion.
He promised himself that he would not let the emperor's general Mu Wanting marry the royal family, this Prince Shun's youngest son, Nangong Yue, is not still a relative of the emperor?
Nangong tilted his head and explained to her in a super whisper: "This is what my father meant, and this king doesn't know." ”
He really didn't know.
The father was able to agree to him to marry Mu Wanting, which was already enough for them to leave the palace.
If you don't know who to point out Mu Wanting to, isn't that just overriding the emperor and making decisions for the emperor?
Mu Xue subconsciously believed him, and when she heard the words, she quieted down.
Seeing the intimate appearance of the young couple over there often tilting their heads together and biting their ears, the emperor's heart was completely relieved.
As if Nangong Yue was mentioned suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed between Mu Wanting's eyebrows.
However, she felt that the emperor could believe her father's words so easily, it must be that the prince had already passed the anger with the emperor.
That's why it's like this.
She's smug in her heart.
didn't expect the emperor's next words, which made her completely stunned.
I saw that the emperor's gaze crossed Mu Zhennan and stopped at Mu Wanting's body, and after a glance, he said meaningfully: "Mu Aiqing, your eldest daughter is also eighteen this year, right?" ”
"Yes, Emperor Lao remembers, Ting'er just turned eighteen years old this year."
"Eighteen years old, that's a good age."
seemed to miss the good old days, and there was a hint of resentment between the emperor's tone.
After sighing, the emperor continued: "Since the previous matter has nothing to do with the General's Mansion, I urgently summoned Mu Aiqing back, which caused a lot of turmoil in the imperial court." Now, in order to stabilize the dynasty, I plan to marry you in the General's Mansion. ”
Refers to the word marriage.
Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves,
The emperor's Chrysostom said that he was married.
That's a special honor.
It is the most representative of the emperor's trust.
It is also the most able to block the mouths of those Wenchen in the capital who are all day long.
The moment Mu Zhennan heard this, great surprise flashed in his eyes.
Before entering the palace, he never thought that the emperor would give marriage,
When his wife was pregnant, even men and women did not know.
The emperor at that time said that if it was a girl, she would marry his fourth son.
Now the emperor is beating his daughter's idea again?
No, no.
If their daughters are married to the princes and sons of the royal family, the general's mansion will be too big at that time, which is really inappropriate.
So Mu Zhennan immediately knelt down and refused: "Your Majesty, the first minister and the society are useless, and the second is with the emperor, you will only increase your troubles, and the general's mansion really can't afford it." ”
When Mu Wanting heard the emperor say that she was going to give marriage, her heart immediately pounded in her chest.
Thinking again, the prince really understands her too well.
It must have been mentioned by the prince.
Otherwise, how could the emperor marry him?
Thinking about it, Mu Wanting's face was full of shyness, and she lowered her head and replied shyly.
Mu Xue sat there quietly, making herself a painting, at this moment her eyes fell on Mu Wanting's body, seeing that she was ashamed to look like this just by hearing the word marriage, and secretly thought that if Mu Wanting knew that the emperor gave her a marriage to the prince later, the expression on her face would be wonderful.
But before her face could smile into a flower, this Mu Wanting heard her father refuse.
She tightened the handkerchief in her hand, her eyebrows and eyes full of anxiety.
The eyes were full of reproach.
blame your father for breaking off your good marriage.
"No, no, no, no.... If you can afford it, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only your general's mansion can afford it. ”
The emperor waved his hand again and again to deny it, and added the next sentence, which means that the emperor's mind has been decided.
It's not something you Mu Zhennan can refuse if you want to.
"Come, Mu Aiqing sit down first, listen first and see how the son-in-law I picked for you is."
At this moment, the emperor is like a month old.
I love to point to mandarin duck spectrum and like to pull the red line.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and he always liked to draw red lines for the children of those officials, and used marriage to achieve his goal of maintaining the stability of the dynasty.
After Na Mu Zhennan sat down uneasily, the emperor looked at Mu Wanting over there.
"I heard that yesterday the prince and the prince asked you to go out?"
Yesterday, in order not to look too ostentatious, the prince made an appointment with Nangong Yue to accompany him.
This way, others don't have to guess at random.
These words were obviously asked by Mu Wanting, and she was pleasantly surprised.
The emperor can know such a trivial matter, I'm afraid it is not the prince's premise with the emperor, right?
Oh, it turns out that the prince is so concerned about himself.
Thinking of this, Mu Wanting's lips hooked a decent smile, slowly walked to the dragon case, and bowed respectfully and replied.
"If you go back to the emperor, the weather was good yesterday, so the prince and the prince of Yue made an appointment with the courtiers to go on the spring to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the suburbs of the capital in the New Year."
Marriage giving is mentioned.
The crown prince was mentioned again.
This must be to marry himself and the prince.
