Chapter 18 There are beautiful women
I don't know what kind of wind is blowing He Mujiu after all, this prince is said to be frail and sickly, not asking the lord of the court, but he loves some beauties, but staying in this place of fireworks is a little incompatible with his identity, it is understandable to say that he came to see the beauty, but he can also wear a casual clothes to visit, so fanfare that people are a little frightened. This situation is completely out of Feng Kite's imagination, she thought that the person who came was very likely to be Chu Lingran or He Qiyu, who was familiar with Mu Ruoying, the identity of the prince is too special, if it is said that He Qiyu will at most fall into the title of an idle prince, but He Mujiu is different.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose."
By the arrival of the prince, the atmosphere of the Jingxiu Pavilion was quite tense, the singing and dancing on the field stopped, the prince sat lazily on the main seat, overlooking the various forces from afar, and saw that many officials and eunuchs came to cheer, so he slowly drank tea.
"This palace came today to decide that it was not to sweep everyone's Yaxing, or I heard that Huazhifang, the time-honored brand in the capital was copied overnight, I was a little shocked, and after asking, I learned that it was the officialdom that the silver was scattered, which is your love."
The prince looked at the wind kite, and the suspicion in his heart was only understood by the wind kite and the lord upstairs, he suspected that there was someone behind the wind kite to support her to complete the overall situation, and it was not difficult for him to guess that it was the lord of Rong'an who caused a sensation in the capital before, as for the lord of the country, he must have come today, so he didn't know which compartment to sit in and keep silent.
"The prince's arrival is naturally a happy event for the Jingxiu Pavilion, and His Royal Highness the prince can take a seat?"
"Well, good. This palace has also swept everyone's Yaxing, this ordinary vulgar powder, don't bring it up, but the smartest woman in the world, this palace is curious and wants to see it immediately. ”
There is nothing wrong with the guests downstairs listening to it, it stands to reason that the prince doesn't look down on the vulgar powder in this green building, but who is the smartest woman in the world? Who will become the smartest woman in the world in this green building? Only Feng Kite and Mu Ruoying heard it clearly, and it was Mu Ruoying that the prince wanted to see. He could have come and gone in civilian clothes and used his rights to force Mu Ruoying to cooperate with him, but his attitude that this is known to the whole world now is probably to tell His Royal Highness in the palace how noble his identity is, if he sees Mu Ruoying today, there is an eighty percent probability that Mu Ruoying will be taken under his command.
Mu Ruoying's door was opened, and a luxurious man dressed in red Su embroidered silk appeared beside her, she only heard that the two princes of the Dahe Dynasty had outstanding appearances, so it was not false to look at it, this prince's dragon and phoenix eyes were like fox eyes ready to go, and the aura on the whole person was also domineering and ruthless, revealing his inner greed without concealment. This is far from Chu Lingran, no matter how much ambition Chu Lingran has, he will not be exposed to people, he is as gentle as a jade merry son, he has always played the role of being in front of people, and he has never stopped for a moment.
"Rong An has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Mu Ruoying did not pretend to hide her identity, she did this matter of Huazhifang so ostentatiously, she was not afraid that anyone would come to her trouble, now her identity and status, this kind of thing can escape for a while, she can't escape for a lifetime, what she wants to do now is to watch the fire from the other side, divide the party struggle between the Qing Dynasty and the court, and then win her own place in this troubled world. As a woman, she had to put in a lot more effort than the main one in front of her.
"The lord of the country is not outside."
"How can Rong An meet outside, not afraid of the prince's jokes, Rong An, the brother who is not angry at home has made some mistakes, and this is why there is the Huazhifang incident, Daddy is such an only son, he must be kept no matter what, I and Daddy are forced by the situation, Daddy is the old minister that His Majesty trusts so much, Daddy's face Rong'an must be kept no matter what, that's why... Rong An came forward to handle the Huazhifang, including the restaurant, and his father and Aunt Feng Kite were old acquaintances, so they naturally had to take care of them more. ”
Mu Ruoying's half-truths and half-truths were not allowed by the prince to say a word, he was silent for a long time, as if he understood that Mu Ruoying could not set off much of a storm as a woman, so it seems that as Mu Ruoying said, the birthday of this restaurant is a trick made up by Mu Jinghong's old thief. But he didn't understand, what could this restaurant bring to Mu Jinghong? It is impossible for Mu Jinghong to care about money, and now that Mu Ruoying has the economic context of the world, it is even more impossible, thinking like this, he looked Mu Ruoying up and down suspiciously, and did not say a word for a long time.
"Daddy also said to Ruoying that since the incident before my sister's banquet, the sons and brothers in this city are all avoiding my sister like a snake and scorpion, and my sister is depressed at home all day long, everyone in the world knows that my father is fond of His Royal Highness the Prince's noble status, if I use my father's identity and an ordinary family, after all, my Mu family has suffered some grievances. Therefore, it is not impossible for this restaurant to be a gift to Aunt Feng Kite, if one day the rudder of the capital turns, my sister can also be a noble status. ”
Mu Ruoying's words outlined all Mu Jinghong's thoughts, she just wanted to tell the prince that she had nothing to do with this matter, but Mu Jinghong was playing with your idea, Mu Jingfei's current reputation and how can he compare with the person in front of him, whether it is talent, appearance or strategy, Mu Jingfei and Mu Ruoying are far behind. Mu Ruoying's words reminded the prince that it is better to marry a woman than to entrust everything to you.
"In this way, it was this palace who misunderstood Ying'er. The moon is thick tonight, and the beauty is on the side, can Ying'er want to travel with the palace? The annual lantern festival is being held in the heart of Yuehu, is Ying'er interested? ”
Mu Ruoying was made to cry and laugh by the prince's invitation, from the first sentence of his Ying'er, Mu Ruoying knew the prince's thoughts, he was not in a hurry to win over Mu Ruoying, it was a good thing for Mu Ruoying, but he thought that Mu Ruoying would fall in love with him It was really ridiculous, and it was spread throughout the capital that Chu Lingran was devoted to Mu Ruoying, but Mu Ruoying ignored Chu Lingran, how could this emperor's son have self-righteous thoughts like this emperor.
"With such hospitality, how dare Ruoying refuse? In the middle of the lake this month, Rong An has never been there, and the ladies in the house will go to play there every year, but... I'm afraid it's inconvenient today, this restaurant is sitting on the first day, and Rong An must be there. It's my sister, who has been at home for a long time, if she hears about the prince's invitation, she will be very happy, and Rong An will not rob her sister of her interest. ”
Mu Ruoying's tactful words actually show that since Mu Jingfei is devoted to the prince, as a younger sister, she will never think anything wrong about the prince. Mu Ruoying was present at the last banquet, and saw that Mu Jingfei's eyes had been looking at a cold palace in the depths of the palace, and she also looked at Chu Lingran, who had won the battle and was full of glory and glory, and looked at her politely, knowing that Mu Jingfei was probably in love with He Qiyu, this legendary His Royal Highness King Qi, Mu Ruoying has naturally never seen him since he was a child, Mu Jingfei has participated in various palace banquets with He Xiyou since he was a child, and when the Queen Mother was alive, she still loved His Royal Highness King Qi, so it is not surprising that Mu Jingfei knows His Royal Highness King Qi. Since Mu Jingfei is interested in King Qi, it is not a bad thing for the prince to mistakenly think that Mu Jingfei is in love with him.
That King Qi can endure the hatred and pain for so many years, and be an idle prince, if he really has no ability in his heart, or he is too strategic, this kind of person will never put feelings first, Mu Jingfei is afraid that he is wrong. Now that he has reminded the prince like this, the prince's attention will also be on Mu Jingfei, and he can be idle for two days. Mu Ruoying thought to herself, Mu Jingfei's status and status without He Xiyou's help, would never refuse the prince's kindness.
"Then the prince will no longer bother Ying'er, that is, in the next few days, Ying'er and your sister will attend the family banquet in the palace."
Mu Ruoying finally sent the prince away, and he was relieved that the prince should have thought that Mu Jinghong's strength would be able to be used if he married Mu Jingfei one day, but Mu Jinghong was not a person who stopped here after all, since Mu Ruoying was vague, it was inconvenient for him to ask again and again, showing that he was too nervous about the throne.
"Today's capital should be extraordinarily lively, Ling Ran."
He Qiyu sat in the deep palace and looked at the moon in a daze, today is the day of the reopening of the Jingxiu Pavilion, since a few days ago, Huazhifang was copied for no reason, he and Chu Lingran were still in the clouds, and they didn't feel anything, but now they heard that the prince went to the Jingxiu Pavilion in person, and he understood that this Lord of Rong'an, I am afraid that he has some plans.
"She's always been so smart and exquisite."
The two sat on the bluestone bench and answered the question, but they both knew that Mu Ruoying's purpose was to have a place in the court, and only such a smart woman could think of collecting the handles and evidence of officials from all sides in the restaurant, Chu Lingran's expression seemed to be praising herself, so doting and gentle. He knew that Mu Ruoying would one day be completely comparable to herself, she would never flinch and be cowardly just because she was a woman, she would only redouble her efforts to complete her strategy and be independent in this troubled world.
"It seems that you still have a crush on her after all."
He Qiyu looked at his friends, but his eyes were full of worry, how difficult it is for people like them to have someone who can let them see the light of the world, but the woman who can make Chu Lingran feel the light is so dangerous, it is hell in the blink of an eye, they will never talk about the trust of their whole body, they left a life in this troubled world, and the desperate struggle covered in mud is nothing more than not being able to let go of the hatred of the past, but there is really nothing to look forward to in the future.
"But I don't deserve it. Now that the war on the border is tense, you can rest assured, in a few days, I will go to a remote place to recover the lost land to the emperor Qingming, suppress the turmoil, I will sort out my mood and come back, here owes my royal family the life and the blood debt owed by the Mu Mansion, He Minglang and Mu Jinghong will pay me back. ”
He Qiyu didn't speak, just looked at the moon in the sky in a daze, the moon was born on the sea, and the end of the world was at this time. But if I still have a little concern in this world, I am afraid I will not become what I am now, my mother taught me to know how to be grateful, to learn to let go, but my mother is gone, I was born with all the grievances and malice I was born with, my heart is dark at that moment, if my mother and I are still looking at the same moon, can you understand why you want to be sympathetic to a person who is about to destroy her royal family, will your mother forgive yourself for killing her husband?
"I'm really curious, what kind of woman is it, so that you can still have a touch of the world."
He Qiyu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has been monitored by He Mujiu everywhere, and rarely interacts with the outside world, if it weren't for Chu Lingran's light skills, it would be difficult for him to meet him and become a confidant with him. He knew Chu Lingran, it was the time when the western frontier was recovered by a young general, the whole country was shocked, the people in the western frontier were strong, and the world that came immediately was not comparable to the Central Plains, and the cavalry sent by the emperor was not for how to make a big war, just to let the people in the frontier suffer less, and when the day came, the emperor found the general, and issued twelve edicts in a row, the young general was unmoved, and led five thousand cavalry to wave the army straight in, and took the head of the bravest warrior in the camp and hung it at the gate of the city wall, On the second day, the morale of the soldiers of the Central Plains was greatly boosted, and they rushed to the Hanmen City in one breath, so that in just a few months, the Western Xinjiang problem left over from the previous dynasty was solved by the general.
That general is Chu Lingran, but the emperor listened to the villain's slander, and was furious that Chu Lingran did not accept the will, and asked Chu Lingran to return to Beijing immediately to ask for his life, and it stands to reason that the army returned in five days, who knew that five days ago, the assassin in the palace was encountered, leaving a bag of spices in the Western Regions, which was intended to remind the emperor that this Western Xinjiang recognized Chu Ling but not him He Minglang, if he moved him, the people of Western Xinjiang would definitely riot. Chu Lingran looked at the palace from afar, and there was no cold palace courtyard without the slightest crowd, so he broke into He Qiyu's courtyard, He Qiyu was not the slightest surprised, and asked him if he wanted to change his clothes and drink tea, Chu Lingran was supposed to return to the court five days later, but the prince in the palace saw his true face, so he ruined a big game of chess, he should have killed He Qiyu. After all, who is not the prince in the palace is not brocade clothes and jade food, and the lights are dim, but this He Qiyu courtyard is so desolate, if he really kills him, the emperor will not make any big moves.
"Are you trying to kill me?"
It was Chu Lingran thinking in the dim room, and when the moon fell, he could only see a trace of ups and downs between his eyebrows, but He Qiyu was so calm, putting life and death out of the way, and even this sentence was said with a smile and a hot tea. Chu Lingran didn't reply for a long time, holding the long sword in his hand motionless. After He Qiyu finished drinking the tea in his hand, he refilled another cup, the two were silent all night, after dawn, the morning dawn came, and Chu Lingran had to do it, but he saw He Qiyu walking towards him calmly.
"If I say, leave me alive, and when you take the power of the He dynasty in the future, can I help you?"
Chu Lingran was stunned in place, this person is really unfathomable, he has no martial arts but he is so calm next to a person who can take his life in seconds, he is a prince, but when he talks about the fall of his dynasty, his eyes have a little light, Chu Lingran should not believe a promise from a strange man, but Chu Lingran finally left He Qiyu's life, sure enough, five days later, when Chu Lingran returned to the capital as a war minister, the whole country had a banquet in the palace, and He Qiyu tasted tea as if he didn't know him.
It's not surprising that the two have become confidants, and since that day, everything has just been a little more concerned and trusting, and they finally... is getting closer and closer to his goal, and Mu Ruoying's appearance must not shake Chu Lingran in the slightest.
"Ling Ran... If one day, when the situation forces it, you will kill
