Chapter 43: Uncle Guo's Request to Return to Beijing (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

"Stay away from the prince?"

Mu Yunyin remembered that at noon, her grandmother had said the same thing.

And the prince, is she able to stay away if she can?

…………

Lin Ze Palace, Changming Palace.

Xiao Qiyi quietly listened to the attendant's advice, and his face was gloomy.

That day, I accidentally said that the girl of the Mu family was also going to Xiao Qijin's other courtyard to appreciate the lotus, and the rough palace maid had died, and outside the East Palace, there were many people passing by, and there were many and miscellaneous, and it was impossible to find out who passed this news in.

Xiao Qiyi listened to the waiter's reply, didn't say anything, waved his hand, and signaled the waiter to retreat.

This morning, I went to the Qingyuan Hall of the Arctic Palace to ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor said to him coldly that he would not go to the palace of Zhongcheng in the imperial history in the future, and the daughter of the Mu family was filial piety, so it was inconvenient to bother.

Subsequently, although the emperor didn't say anything again, Xiao Qiyi saw the dark cloud in the emperor's eyes, which was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.

The dark clouds pressed towards Xiao Qiyi, and Xiao Qiyi somehow only withdrew uneasily.

Xiao Qiyi didn't know that after he withdrew, the emperor put down the tea cup in his hand and said to Liu Shangzhong, who was waiting outside the door:

"Let Wei Yuanning come in."

Not long after, Wei Yuanning came in, knelt down and bowed, and the emperor's right hand was raised, so that this powerful henchman could stand and speak.

Wei Yuanning thanked him, Wei Yuanning's face was emaciated, his muscles were tight, and he was the emperor's most loyal chamberlain.

The emperor beckoned, and let Wei Yuanning, who was standing on his side, come closer.

"When I go to Yunnan, I must be careful to find out whether the child is a man or a woman, and where he is now."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."

The emperor watched Wei Yuanning's figure withdraw from the door, for more than ten years, like smoke in the past, it has not drifted away with the wind, and has been lingering in the emperor's heart.

The emperor's children were few and had no daughters in his life, only five princes, the eldest son of the emperor born to the empress, who died of illness soon after birth.

The fourth prince, Xiao Qirui, was born to his favorite precious concubine, and was promoted to King Heng early, but unfortunately died in battle on Wangya Ridge.

The precious concubine was also anxious because of Si'er, and a year later, she also died of illness.

The second prince, Xiao Qijin, has been stripped of his title as King Ping, and he is like a wasted person.

Now in front of the emperor, there are only the crown prince Xiao Qiyi and the fifth prince Xiao Qixuan.

The biological mother of Xiao Qixuan, the fifth prince of Qi, was born in an insider, had a humble status, and had just been promoted to a concubine.

The sound of broken footsteps woke the emperor up.

The queen came with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, has the concubine disturbed Your Majesty's tranquility?"

Since King Ping took away his title and was imprisoned, the queen has not shown such a bright smile for a long time.

The queen said that she was about to kneel.

"The queen doesn't have to be polite."

The emperor hurriedly got up and helped the empress up, looking at the empress's bright smile, the emperor's face also disappeared.

The Empress sat down and spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You are in good spirits today, and you should sleep well."

The queen picked up the tea offered by Liu Shangzhong, took a small sip gently, and put it on the coffee table at hand.

Liu Shangzhong saw that the emperor's face was good, and he didn't say anything to the queen's direct intrusion just now, and then retreated to the door of the palace with peace of mind.

"Uncle Guo's dog is about to get married, and it is natural to be an aunt."

When the emperor heard this, the tea brought to his lips paused for a moment.

"Which of my uncle's heirs has reached the age of marriage?"

The emperor remembered that the uncle's son-in-law had died in battle at the border pass, and his daughter-in-law had married the second prince, Xiao Qijin.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, there is a second son born to an aunt in the uncle's mansion, he is twenty-nine years old this year, he has reached the marriageable age, and the eight characters have been combined, so he will wait for the uncle to return to Beijing."

"Good thing, good thing. It's been a long time since I've had a drink with my uncle. ”

"Then Your Majesty has to make a decree to let Uncle Guo return to Beijing to preside over the marriage."

The Empress only paused for a moment, and before the contemplative Emperor could speak, she smiled and continued.

"Fortunately, the north is peaceful, there is no war now, and Uncle Guo has the opportunity to return to Beijing to greet Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled coldly, his eyes straight to the empress.

"The queen is really a phoenix, and she knows that there is no war at the border?"

The queen heard the emperor's words and hurriedly knelt.

"The concubine didn't dare, but Uncle Guo sent a letter from the north, praising His Majesty's divine might, saying that the border pass was blessed by His Majesty's wisdom, and now the north is peaceful."

The Emperor laughed, got up, and helped the Empress to sit down again.

When the empress saw the emperor's long face and joy, she took out a yellow paper letter from her sleeve, stood up, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

"This is the confidant brought back to the palace by the uncle to ask His Majesty to resign and return to Beijing, and the niece of the concubine brought it to Fengqi Palace, so that the concubine can personally transfer it to His Majesty."

The emperor took the letter, put it on the table, picked up the tea bowl, and his voice became cold again.

"General Zhenbei, when did you also transfer the courtier's performance to the mansion?"

"Your Majesty is worried, just because the uncle and sister-in-law have died in the north, and now there is only one son under his knees, and his uncle and wife died early, and the aunt is from a small family, and the lord has nothing to do, so he returned to Beijing with a heartfelt heart, so he carried this letter in his family letter."

What the queen said was true, especially when she said that her sister-in-law died in the north, she almost choked.

"Uncle Guo presented it to His Majesty, and it is also a letter from home."

The emperor's face returned to calm, and he said to the empress:

"I know that Uncle Guo has done his best for the country, and I will send a decree to summon him back to Beijing to receive a cup of wine."

When the queen heard this, she knelt down again and thanked her.

After the queen left, the emperor looked at the yellow-shell envelope, thought about it, and remembered that there was indeed a second son born to an aunt in the uncle's mansion, and the emperor almost forgot about this person because he had not been treated by the royal family since he was a child.

Unexpectedly, this second son is already twenty-nine, it seems that it is not possible to let Wang Dingyi come back this time, the emperor gritted his teeth and opened the letter.

…………

The crown prince Xiao Qiyi, if he really didn't go back to Mufu, Mu Yunyin slowly regained his calm.

Early in the morning, the subordinates of the Yong'an Hou Mansion came to tell Mu Yunyin that his son-in-law and Cheng Ciyuan would come to pick up Mu Yunyin from time to time today and go to see Baili Gongzi together.

Mu Yunyin had already prepared things, all of which were exquisite pastries that she had personally ordered the kitchen to make.

Before the time came, Mingyu and Cheng Ciyuan came to pick up Mu Yunyin.

Mu Yunyin instructed the carriage in the house to follow the two people riding in front, she and Huang Li sat in the carriage, and next to Huang Li, there were four boxes of wrapped pastries.

The carriage passed through the bustling street market and came to a relatively quiet road, which avoided the bustle of Jiankang City, and was not the wide Suzaku Street.

It was a sparsely populated road behind Suzaku Street, and in front of a brown gate with blue tiles and gray walls, Mingyu jumped off his horse.

"Baili Gongzi lives here."

Mingyu lifted the curtain, Huang Li jumped down first, and helped Mu Yunyin get out of the carriage.

"Youshi will come to pick up your girl again."

Mingyu told the Mufu coachman who was waiting at the door, Mu Yunyin nodded to his coachman, and the coachman turned his horse's head and returned the same way.

Cheng Ciyuan knocked on the brown door, a square-faced man opened the door, Mingyu and Cheng Ciyuan both called Brother Luo, and led the horse straight in, it seems that the two of them are frequent visitors here.

Someone had already gone to tell Baili Feiyan, and Baili Feiyan walked out of the bedroom wearing a goose egg blue cloak.

As soon as he looked up, Baili Feiyan saw Mu Yunyin, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
