Chapter 217: Asking for Marriage
On this day, Qu Miaoling received a letter from Wen Xiangdong, there were not many words on the letter, but her gratitude to her was real.
The content is nothing more than these, and after Mu Chi saw Ruan Liangjun, he was very happy, and he forgot to look for Qu Miaoling with his face.
He took Ruan Liangjun and Mu Chi to tour everywhere, even the temples in the east of the city.
And the article can only be watched dryly, and he can't insert a word.
Qu Miaoling closed the letter, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
It seems that this article Xiangdong is not stupid, and he can still understand what he means.
"Miss, did that Wen Xiangdong really understand what you mean?"
Qu Miaoling smiled but said nothing.
In the afternoon of the same day, after Qu Miaoling had just received Wen Xiangdong's letter, Situ Huaibo came violently.
Wu Dehou is not there, otherwise he would have gone to greet him warmly.
Wen was also in a hurry to come, but was stopped by Situ Huaibo's people.
Stopped outside the courtyard, she left with a clean face.
Before leaving, he stomped his feet and glared resentfully in the direction of Wanzhenyuan.
She didn't know what to say, but the peach bud lowered her head, and then she helped Wen and left.
And in Wanzhen Courtyard, all the subordinates were so atmospheric that they didn't dare to come out.
When Situ Huaibo came, his face was dark, as if he had been provoked by water.
Qingrou wanted to make a report, but was stopped by Situ Huaibo.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, what kind of ability is it to bully a little girl, what kind of fire is there, shoot at me!"
When Situ Huaibo saw Qu Miaoling coming out of the house, he immediately sneered.
"Hair at you?"
"But His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you don't want to lose face in the Hou Mansion!" Qu Miaoling said and looked around.
Although Situ Huaibo's face was dark, he still walked into the hall obediently.
Although he was angry, he didn't want the reputation of his door-to-door questioning to spread, let alone let people know that he was cuckolded.
"Hmph". He flicked his sleeves in.
Qu Miaoling followed, and as for the gentle and worried eyes, she replied with a reassuring gaze.
"Gently, go get some good tea leaves and quench the fire for His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
"Yes."
Situ Huaibo snorted coldly again.
Qu Miaoling sat down and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you came to find Miaoling, but is there something wrong?" β
He raised his eyebrows and said with an angry face: "Of course there is something, if it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that Miao Ling was such a person!" β
"Oh?"
"You are still pretending, you say, why did Mu Chi come to you again and again, what is the unsavory relationship between you and Mu Chi!"
Situ Huaibo's voice became louder and louder.
When he first received the news, he was so angry that he threw all the books in the study to the ground.
was cuckolded by a woman, or a woman who has not passed through the door, where to put his dignified face with the king!
He came to find someone in a rage, but what about this Qu Miaoling?
He even pretended to be innocent, and asked him what happened?
"Qu Miaoling, I don't care how watery Yang Hua you were before, I warn you, you give me a little peace and self-control!"
For a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet, saying that she is water-based Yanghua and inherent, is to force her to death.
If a woman's wrists and ankles are seen, they can be sent to a nunnery or sunken, and there are countless women who have committed suicide for this, even though they are only victims!
Situ Huaibo's move, did he want to put her to death?
But soon, she dismissed the idea.
Situ Huaibo has already formed an alliance with yourself, and he is still his unmarried imperial concubine, so what's the difference between slapping yourself in the face?
So this time, he should not be in the bar because of the drunkard's intentions!
Qu Miaoling secretly guessed, after all, Situ Huaibo was a person who couldn't afford to be unprofitable.
"Your Highness, you have wronged Miao Ling."
"Wronged? Tell me how Your Highness has wronged you! β
Situ Huaibo's voice was still very cold.
Qu Miaoling seemed to be unaware, and said directly: "Your Highness doesn't know, a few days ago I was looking for a gift for you on the street, and I met the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wen Xuanzhi, who knew that he was next to Prince Mu Chi, I thought I would just go over and say hello and leave, who knew that Wen Xuanzhi actually introduced himself to Prince Mu Chi, and he introduced it in such detail." β
Glancing at Situ Huaibo's face, she continued: "And afterwards, when Miao Ling was entangled by Prince Mu Chi, Miao Ling also thought that it might be that Miao Ling offended the people of the Wen Xiang Mansion, so she was targeted by the people of the Wen Mansion!" β
When he said this, Qu Miaoling's tone still carried a little regret.
Situ Huaibo wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered, "You mean to say that the selection period is deliberate?" β
"Miao Ling didn't say that, but Miao Ling felt that since Young Master Wen knew that Miao Ling had already married you, how could he introduce Miao Ling to Prince Mu Chi?"
Qu Miaoling didn't seem to say anything, and it seemed like she had said everything.
Situ Huaibo was instantly furious: "This article is elective! I don't want to live anymore! Dare to pry the corner of the prince's wall'
Situ Huaibo was angry, and Qu Miaoling couldn't laugh in his heart.
Although her trick has gone through twists and turns, it has been achieved in the end, and it has not been in vain that she has spent so many days with Mu Chi thinking about Zhou Xuan.
Now, presumably, the status of the Wenxiang Mansion in Situ Huaibo's heart has dropped several levels.
"Your Highness, Miao Ling is your person, naturally everything is for your sake, this person in the Prime Minister's Mansion is becoming more and more arrogant, doesn't this look down on you? Miao Ling thinks that you should teach them a lesson, but it should not be too obvious, you can distance yourself from them a little bit before you make a plan, what do you think? β
Qu Miaoling looked at Situ Huaibo, her eyes shining.
"Thisβwhat Miao Ling said is that this prince has written it down."
Situ Huaibo came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
So much so that Wen delivered the news to Wu Dehou, but when Wu Dehou came back, he still pounced.
"Daughter, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is here this time, but what are your orders?" Wu Dehou inquired.
"It's nothing, it's just that His Royal Highness misses his daughter a little, so he came to see his daughter and sent a gift."
"Oh, I see," Wu Dehou hesitated, "didn't you say anything else?" β
Qu Miaoling glanced at Wu Dehou, and saw that the other party had a little melancholy on his face, so she said: "By the way, His Royal Highness the Second Prince also said that he wants his father to take care of his health, and he will come to visit in person in the future." β
"Good, good."
After shouting three times, Wu Dehou left happily.
Always left Wu Dehou, Qu Miaoling also smiled.
This Qu Fu is sometimes quite easy to deal with, not like Wen's, like a dog skin plaster.
On the way back to the house, Situ Huaibo was also thinking about the affairs of Wenxiangfu, he listened to Qu Miaoling's explanation, and the assassin he caught last time, he used all methods, but he didn't speak, but Situ Huaibo also had a faint guess in his heart.
This Wen Hongzhi, does he really want to betray himself?
The arrival of the Tubo prince made the Daling Dynasty very lively for a while.
As one of the most noble princes in Tibet, the emperor also welcomed Mu Chi's arrival.
The Ministry of Rites began to plan the welcome party early, and the invitation letters were sent to the ministers and their families as early as possible.
And, in Qu Miaoling's memories, she still remembered this banquet, in fact, the emperor also prepared several girls of the right age for Mu Chi, waiting to follow Mu Chi back to Tubo.
As soon as the banquet began, Mu Chi began to search for Qu Miaoling's location in the crowd.
But the daughters of the clan that the emperor found for him had already surrounded him.
It was hard for him to get out of the way.
Remembering his father's teachings when he came, he managed to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally reached the climax of the banquet, and the women began to perform on stage.
And today, the performers have been decided, and they are the girls who will be rewarded to Mu Chi.
The girls are all well cultivated by each family, and the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and women's red knitting are all outstanding.
For a while, all kinds of performances exploded on the stage, and many audiences applauded.
Mu Chi didn't feel anything about it, and his eyes kept searching the audience.
Finally, in a hidden location, he saw Qu Miaoling's figure.
Mu Chi's eyes lit up.
At this moment, the performance was almost over, and the emperor said with a smile: "Mu Chi, which of our noble daughters of the Daling Dynasty do you like?" β
After listening to this, Mu Chi said firmly: "Your Majesty, the beauties of the Daling Dynasty, Mu Chi has seen them, and they are all good women, none of them are worse than our Tubo, butββ"
"But what?" The Emperor asked.
"Mu Chi already has someone in his heart."
The Emperor moved, apparently intrigued.
The tone is chaotic, it is better to let Mu Chi choose by himself, the emperor originally thought so.
Seeing that Mu Chi proposed it himself, the emperor was also relieved.
The emperor indiscriminately pointed out the loss of marriage, and he himself suffered it.
If he hadn't married the queen first, Hui Ling would not have rejected him. Marry Wu Dehou, that wreck.
"Prince Mu Chi, don't worry, you can say it, I will definitely fulfill your wishes."
Mu Chi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down for the emperor according to the etiquette of the Daling Dynasty.
"What Mu Chi wants, that's her!" He pointed at Qu Miaoling.
The audience was calm.
And Qu Miaoling, who was quietly tasting wine, was also shocked and paused.
"Prince Mu Chi, are you sure you want the Lord of An Hui?" The Emperor's brow furrowed.
Mu Chi nodded, "Your Majesty, Mu Chi fell in love with Lord An Hui at first sight, Mu Chi was willing to be hired with a hundred miles of red makeup and asked to marry Lord An Hui." β
Mu Chi's words fell, and the audience was in an uproar.
"What's the matter, Prince Mu Chi is crazy?"
"Doesn't he know that the emperor has already married Qu Miaoling to His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"
"Prince Mu Chi really has the guts to dare to rob the second prince of people?"
The discussion came and went, but Mu Chi didn't care.
"Your Majesty, you have already Mu Chi just now, as long as Mu Chi says it, you will marry her to Mu Chi."
The emperor was difficult to ride a tiger, and his face was a little difficult to look at.
And Situ Huaibo, who was sitting in the position of the prince, also had a sudden blue face, and the hand holding the wine glass was bruised, looking very terrifying.
"Prince Muchi, have you really thought about it?" The emperor followed up and said: "Miao Ling is the fiancΓ©e of the second prince, and she will be married into the Huaiwang Mansion immediately!" β
The emperor's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the speed of his speech was also very slow, just to give Mu Chi a chance to retract his previous words.
But Mu Chi didn't give up, and replied in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, in Mu Chi's heart, Lord An Hui is the most compatible with Mu Chi, the woman next to him, Mu Chi doesn't want to marry, even if Mu Chi forces himself to marry, we will not be happy in the future." β
As he spoke, Mu Chi bent down and kowtowed to the emperor.
"Mu Chi, can you hear clearly, Miao Ling is the royal quasi-imperial concubine!" The emperor was angry, and the tail note was full of blasting power.
Everyone present was silent, and in their hearts, there was only one thought, this Prince Mu Chi was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
But how can a young tiger compete with an adult male tiger, Mu Chi was a little overwhelmed by the emperor's momentum.
He reluctantly bowed his hand to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Mu Chi didn't deliberately find fault, now the county lord of An Hui and the second prince just have the name of a marriage, they have not been engaged, and they have not been hired, Mu Chi's move is not considered to be robbing people with the royal family." β
This Mu Chi doesn't look at what he said in the original words very clearly, but this eloquence is really good, word by word, logical and organized.
The emperor's face sank, and even Mu Wanshu's face was a little ugly.
This Mu Chi really regards himself as a character, but he is just a little prince of Tubo, and he still wants to be the county lord of the Daling Dynasty, or the daughter of the county lord of Huiling.
The emperor rebuked in his heart.
This Mu Chi is so ignorant of the importance and doesn't know his identity, he is here to give gifts to the Daling Dynasty, not to be an uncle!
