Chapter 54: You Can't Afford to Regret This Marriage

Princess Xinlan's farce caused the whole banquet to be embarrassing for a while.

When the emperor saw Gongsun Chi angrily leaving, his face changed, and he glanced at Murong Qing, but he didn't say anything.

The crown prince got up and raised his glass, "Son, I wish my father ......"

When the emperor saw the prince toasting himself, the displeasure on his face was swept away, and he subconsciously went to take it, but he took it empty.

"Huh?"

Slightly stunned, the emperor lowered his eyes.

"Fury, where's my glass marigold?"

The emperor bowed his head slightly in confusion, there was no under the table, he remembered that the glass marigold was placed here, why was it gone?

Seeing that the emperor's glazed marigold was gone, Fu Rui felt a trace of inexplicable weirdness, then this is for today's palace banquet, specially asked the craftsman to be the chief eunuch Harshan personally made, a total of five, one for the queen, one for the emperor, the prince's lamp, and the other two for later use.

Fury hurriedly glanced at the palace maid who was waiting beside him, and the palace maid quietly withdrew, and after a while, she walked back with a glass marigold.

Furui hurriedly poured the glass marigold full of wine in front of the emperor, and said with a flattering smile, "Oh, the emperor, you see my memory, I just took it to pour you wine but forgot to take it back." ”

The emperor took the calendula and frowned lightly, without saying anything, at this moment, Furui's palms were full of cold sweat.

First it was Gongsun Lan's five-color gold silk jade belt, and now it is the emperor's glazed marigold, and the whole banquet was full of doubts, and everyone only had doubts about it, and there was no way to find out.

The emperor was looking for a wine glass on it, but Murong Qing was looking for a hairball on the bottom.

The moment he saw that the emperor couldn't find the wine glass, Murong Qing remembered that Maoqiu had eaten Gongsun Lan's golden silk jade belt and had not come back.

At this time, Maoqiu was holding the emperor's lost glass marigold, eating drunk and hazy in Su Muchun's arms, looking at him with ambiguous eyes while eating.

Su Muchun is also quite helpless about this, every time this thing gets into trouble, he runs to himself, and then turns his face and doesn't recognize people, which is very similar to his family Qing'er.

Murong was looking for a hairball here, and she didn't dare to move too much, so anxious that she frowned, and she didn't even hear Ru Ying talking to her.

"Third Miss, what did you lose?"

Ru Ying whispered again to Murong Qing, who was looking anxious and looking around.

Murong Qing realized that she was too out of manners, so she hurriedly sat upright, and her face returned to nature and said, "It's nothing, it's just some unimportant things." ”

Ru Ying touched Murong Qing again, then glanced at her, and then turned her head to look in the direction of the prince's seat.

Murong Qing followed her gaze, but saw that Su Muchun was looking at her, with a helpless smile on her face, moved the arm on her lap, lowered her eyelids and looked into her arms.

Murong Qing immediately understood what he meant, and the whole person was not good, and her beautiful eyes glared at Su Muchun dotingly, to be precise, she stared at the already drunk unconscious hairball in Su Muchun's arms.

Knowing that the hairball was in Su Muchun, Murong Qing's heart also returned to its original position, and calmly took a sip of wine to suppress herself.

And the interaction between Murong Qing and Su Muchun was inadvertently seen by the prince, and he thought that the two of them were showing their affection for dog food, and the jealousy in his heart arose.

Squinting at Murong Hua beside the Han family, when the prince's eyes swept over Murong Hua's head, the bottom of his eyes showed a look of displeasure.

Murong Hua didn't notice the prince's displeasure because of the pain in his hand.

Han touched his daughter lightly on the side, and Murong Hua suddenly looked up at her with a question in his eyes.

Han glanced at her and glanced in the direction of the prince, and Murong Hua realized that the prince was staring at the jewelry in his hair, which made her heart sink down, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at the prince.

However, her hand was subconsciously touched, and she often wore the position of Shuangluan and pointed Cui Bu Sha, and the doubts in her heart rose again.

Seeing this, Su Muchun smiled in his eyes, and reached out to touch the sleeping hairball in his arms.

"His Royal Highness King Chun, this palace has been coughing all the time, are you suffering from the cold?"

At this time, a woman walked up to Su Muchun and wanted to pour wine for Su Muchun while asking.

"This king doesn't drink."

Su Muchun raised his big knuckled hand and opened the wine jug in the woman's hand.

"That's right, you see I forgot that the prince has been coughing."

The woman smiled awkwardly, put down the wine pot and picked up the teapot with her hand, wanting to pour tea for Su Muchun.

Su Muchun frowned slightly, but did not stop it, the woman poured full tea, and raised her wine glass to toast like Su Muchun.

And Su Muchun's eyes were looking at Murong Qing from beginning to end, and he didn't look at who the woman in front of him who claimed to be the palace, let alone comment on her appearance.

Murong Qing stared at the woman with interest, her wheat complexion, willow eyebrows, smart big eyes, dark brown curly hair, and exotic clothes, which made people think about it.

Murong Qing made a gesture to Su Muchun to measure the woman's figure while watching, so Su Muchun kept staring at Murong Qing.

Although Su Muchun didn't quite understand Murong Qing's gestures, he had already roughly guessed the previous gestures, which meant that I was visually inspecting this woman......

As for the details of the gestures later, I'll ask Murong Qing when I go back.

Not only Su Muchun is looking at Murong Qing, but Ru Ying is also watching, Su Muchun can at least understand a little, but Ru Ying is a girl, she doesn't know anything at all, and she is looking in the clouds.

After Murong Qing gestured to Su Muchun, Ru Ying really couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and asked quietly, "Qing'er, what do you mean by this comparison?" ”

Murong Qing showed a sly smile and whispered a few words in Ru Ying's ear.

Ru Ying was surprised when she heard this, and her cheeks slowly climbed into a flush, but she lowered her head and pursed her lips and snickered, and while secretly giving a thumbs up to Murong Qing, she didn't forget to peek at Su Muchun.

When Su Muchun saw Ru Ying's expression, she knew that the gesture Murong Qing had just made to herself was not a good word, so she glared at Murong Qing angrily.

Murong Qing smiled silently at this.

The woman waited for a while with the wine glass, but Su Muchun didn't respond, which made her feel very unhappy, and she looked at Su Muchun's gaze, but saw the scene of Murong Qing and Ru Ying bowing their heads and whispering, their eyebrows were frowning, and they seemed to understand something in their hearts.

But her noble status, how could she swallow this breath, she got up and was about to walk towards Murong Qing, but she heard the queen on the phoenix chair say, "This Xixia princess and Chun'er are quite a good match." ”

The princess of Xixia lowered her head slightly when she heard this, and her pretty face instantly climbed into a flush.

The queen turned to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, Chun'er is still unmarried, and he doesn't even have a concubine, so why don't you take advantage of today's beautiful scenery to marry him and Princess Xixia?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he first glanced at Su Muchun, and then asked, "Chun'er, what do you think?" ”

Su Muchun got up and saluted, "Back to my father, my son has no opinion, I'm afraid that the third lady will not agree." ”

"Oh?"

The queen looked at the emperor differently, "Does this prince still have to be approved by a general's daughter to marry?" ”

As soon as the emperor heard that it was related to Murong Qing, he had a headache, and he glanced at Murong Qing who didn't know what was going on, and was whispering to Ru Ying.

The difference on the queen's face was even worse when she saw this.

Su Muchun explained, "The queen mother doesn't know, some time ago, the third lady thought that she had given a dowry to her son, and then there was that in the court, the son had mortgaged the palace to the third lady, and knew that the borrowed gold would not be paid within a year, so the son's mansion had been given to the third lady, and now she is homeless and lives in the general's mansion." ”

Su Muchun turned to the princess of Xixia and saluted, saying, "If the princess doesn't give up, how about living in the general's mansion with me?" ”

"Huh?"

When Princess Xixia heard this, the shock in her heart was difficult to describe in words, the prince of a big country actually didn't even have a mansion, and let herself live in the general's mansion with her, which ......

This is simply ridiculous.

She looked at the emperor again, in order to seek the truth of the matter, and when she saw the emperor's embarrassed and tangled expression, she had already made up her mind.

The queen heard about Murong Qing cheating those officials in the court, but at that time, she just took it as a joke and passed it, but she didn't expect that it was Su Muchun who really gave the mansion to Murong Qing.

The queen looked at Murong Qing and said in a deep voice, "Third Miss Murong Qing." ”

Murong Qing heard the queen call her, and hurriedly got up and knelt in it, "The courtiers are here." ”

The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Third Miss, are you willing to return King Chun's Mansion to King Chun?" ”

The queen said, "Of course, this palace will not let the third lady suffer." ”

Murong Qing nodded, "It's up to the queen." ”

The queen was very happy when she heard this, but before this happiness was settled, she heard Murong Qing say again, "Chunwang Mansion, the courtiers can take nothing and offer it with both hands, but ......"

When the queen heard the doubt on her face, she glanced back at the emperor and saw that the emperor seemed to be nothing, which made the queen's heart feel a little uneasy.

The queen asked in a deep voice, "But what?" ”

Murong Qing said, "King Chun also said just now, the courtiers have given the prince a dowry, if you want to regret the marriage, then please return the dowry and interest to me, and King Chun's food and clothing in my general's mansion these days, you also need money, if you don't regret the marriage, the courtiers are not allowed to take a concubine." ”

"Bang!"

When the queen heard Murong Qing's words, she vigorously squeezed the glass marigold, with anger on her face, "Murong Qing, have you ever seen a woman give a dowry to the prince, it's just nonsense, it's just a matter of returning the dowry, and you still have to pay interest, you are really bold and reckless, you don't know how thick the sky is." ”

Murong Qing looked at the queen coldly, and sneered, "The queen seems to have forgotten who my maternal grandfather is, and I don't know if the previous dynasty hired the prince, but now that I have done it, I have to regret the wedding dowry and interest, as well as the money spent by King Chun on food and clothing in my general's mansion." ”

When the queen heard this, she said indignantly, "Even if you don't regret the marriage, the prince should have an heir for the royal family, and how many concubines will there be?" ”

"Why not?"

Murong Qing looked up at the queen, her eyes were cold, and she said in a firm tone, "We are not uncommon to break the throne!" ”

“……”

When everyone heard Murong Qing's words, they were so frightened that they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and they dared to say that the throne was broken in front of the emperor, and Murong Qing was the only one from ancient times to the present.

The emperor's face sank, glared at Murong Qing, and said to the queen in a deep voice, "Chun'er is not small, what to do has its own measure." ”

Instead, he looked at Murong Qing again and said, "Third Miss, you just said that you were willing to return the Chun Palace, right?" ”

Murong Qing nodded, "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”

The emperor looked at Su Muchun and said, "Since the third lady will return the Chun Palace, Chun'er, you can move back!" ”

Su Muchun didn't speak, but stared at Murong Qing with eyes like autumn water in a cold pool, he knew that this woman was thinking of what way to trap the emperor and the queen!

Murong Qing moved the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are talking about returning the Chun Palace, but there is another sentence at the back, and Your Majesty doesn't seem to hear it clearly." ”

The emperor didn't think about it for a long time, Murong Qing also said something about Su Muchun, so he asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Murong Qing said, "Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers said that King Chun's food and clothing in my general's mansion cost money, and his own safety also needs to be protected by spending money." ”

“……”

"How much money do you need?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, Murong Qing seemed to have said such a thing just now.

Murong Qing pondered for a moment and said, "A total of one million taels. ”

"Good!"

"One million taels of silver, the palace is in charge, and I give it."

When the queen heard this, she was ruthless in her heart, and she was suppressed by Murong Qing all day today, and she held back her evil anger in her heart, so she readily agreed.

When the emperor heard the queen's words, the dragon frowned, but he was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't stop it, because he knew that what Murong Qing said was not silver at all, but gold.

Murong Qing shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that the queen mother misunderstood, I'm not talking about silver, but gold." ”

"What?"

"Gold?"

When the queen heard Murong Qing's words, she was so shocked that she almost bit off her tongue.

When the envoys of other countries heard this, the shock in their hearts was also indescribable, and only those ministers who had been pitted by Murong Qing understood what kind of person Murong Qing was.
