The scorching sun hung high in the sky, Mu Siyan stood in the shade of the tree, and asked absentmindedly: "Lord Wang, would you like to have a few drinks with me?" I haven't seen anyone answer for a long time, I looked around, the huge courtyard was empty, Chen Jingyu had long since disappeared, smiled helplessly, and slowly walked to the corridor.

The wooden door opened, and she saw her father walking out of the dormitory alone, and stepped forward quickly, wanting to stop talking, but Mu Wansheng preemptively said: "Yan'er, how about sending your father out?" ”

The two walked side by side, until the end of the corridor, Mu Wansheng suddenly stopped, saw that there was no one around, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, if you have anything to say, just ask!" ”

Looking at her father's deep eyes, full of doting, Mu Siyan no longer hesitated, and asked bluntly: "Father, did you really choose Chen Jingsui?" ”

"Yan'er, it was you who helped your father choose King An!"

"Me? Father, this? Mu Siyan was quite surprised by this answer.

Mu Wansheng stroked his beard and said earnestly: "The court seems to be calm, but in fact it is hidden turbulent, I have been operating in the court for many years, and I am cautious in everything, but seeing that Your Majesty is old, in order to protect the glory of the Mu Mansion, I have no choice but to choose a new master." Seeing that Mu Siyan didn't squeak, he continued: "Xian'er is a concubine, I originally wanted her to marry into King An's Mansion and be a side concubine, if King An gains power in the future, Mu Fu will also rely on more." ”

"Father, then? Who did you want to marry your daughter to? ”

"Keep the king!"

Mu Siyan looked stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, and suddenly, she heard vaguely: "Yan'er, when Your Majesty first ascended to the throne, because of humility, he canonized his younger brother as the prince, laying a hidden danger for today's situation. Among the remaining princes, King Shang and King Ding have no intention of fighting for power, and only King An and King Liu can compete. ”

Thinking that his father had been an official for many years, and in the face of the opportunity to choose one of the two, how could he make a hasty decision, Mu Siyan looked at his father's side face, looked at the pale sideburns, and asked bluntly: "King Liu's wisdom is extraordinary, he has a lot of prestige in the court, and he is indeed a good candidate, father, don't you think it's a pity to give him up now?" ”

"It's a pity, but, thinking about it later, the biological mother of the king has a low status, according to the ancestral etiquette: the son is more precious than the mother. On that basis alone, he lost a little. What's more, King An also has Shang and Ding Wang by his side to help. He put his hand on Mu Siyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yan'er, for my father, I believe in your choice." I didn't think King An was thoughtful before, but today it seems ......"

There was a sudden bang in her head as if the pot had exploded, and Mu Siyan didn't want to listen to the words again, she only felt ridiculous, if it wasn't for her sister's hard begging, how could she marry into King An's mansion, and her father wouldn't have misunderstood, is everything fate?

"Yan'er, what's wrong, your face is not very good?"

She turned her gaze away and replied to the question: "Father, who was the presiding judge?" ”

Mu Wansheng said without concealment: "Dingwang! He walked forward slowly, and said in a muffled voice: "King Ding's temperament is anxious, he has something to say, and he is a brother of King An, he is better controlled than King Shang, but today's court meeting, King Shang will take the initiative to take the hot potato." ”

Sent outside the gate of the mansion, Mu Siyan seemed to understand Chen Jingqi's intentions, and was about to open her mouth to remind, when she heard a voice behind her: "Shi Yong, order the Criminal Department to arrest Yue Feng immediately." ”

Looking back, she saw Chen Jingqi stepping out of the threshold, his face was like frost, and he politely gestured to herself and her father.

"The king of Shang dares to be outstanding, intelligent, and has always been easy-going in dealing with people, but fortunately he has no attachment to power, otherwise he ......" Mu Wansheng stroked his beard.

Mu Siyan stood on the steps, saw the sedan chair gradually moving away, and when she turned around to go back to the house, she glanced at the golden plaque of 'Anwangfu', had mixed feelings, and muttered to herself: The wind is about to rise.
