When Empress Wei sent people out of the palace to find Yunbai, Zheng Ying happened to enter the palace in an emergency and dismounted in front of the palace gate.

Chen Quanli personally waited at the gate of the palace to greet Zheng Ying, and as soon as he saw him, he hurriedly trotted over: "Oops! Lord, you're here. The emperor is anxious to find you! How many people have been sent out for a while. ”

"Father is in such a hurry to summon him, but there is an emergency military situation?" Zheng Ying strode in the direction of the imperial study, and asked uneasily: "However, the emergency report from the north was only sent to the military headquarters yesterday, and today ...... Could it be that the situation in Shuozhou has changed? ”

"Not really." Chen Quanli hurriedly shook his head: "It's not that there is an urgent report of the military situation. ”

"Isn't it?" Zheng Ying's footsteps paused slightly, and she looked at Chen Quanli suspiciously. It's not an urgent military report, what else can be a big deal, so that the emperor is so anxious to find someone. He looked up, this was indeed the way to the imperial study, and the guards on duty on the side were Xiao Jinwei's people, a few familiar faces, and then looked forward, Yu Chengqi was standing at the corner of the palace wall, and seemed to be waiting for someone.

Everything is as usual, the people around him are all cronies of the emperor, and it is impossible for anyone to make a fool of him. But...... Why is that?! Zheng Ying frowned.

Out of caution, he still asked again: "Envoy Chen, why did my father say that he was in a hurry to invite the king to enter the palace?" ”

"The emperor didn't say it." Chen Quanli immediately shook his head: "After the dynasty was dispersed, the emperor had just started driving, and he hadn't taken two steps before he asked about you." The slave and maid immediately went to the Chongzheng Hall to look for you, but you were already gone by then. When the emperor heard that you were out of the palace, he seemed to be in a hurry, and sent several people to find you. Lord, the slave and maid really don't know what the emperor is about, but I think it must be inseparable from today's affairs in the court. Jiang Shangshu has to stay in the household department today, and the only thing the emperor can find is you, the prince. ”

"The king knows." Although Zheng Ying still has doubts, she can only go to see the emperor first. Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Chen Quanli all the way to the imperial study.

When Zheng Ying entered the imperial study, there was only the emperor in the empty study, and there was not even a small inner supervisor waiting for tea. The emperor was not busy commenting on the folds as usual, but was pacing all over the ground with his hands behind his back, looking really anxious, as if he was waiting for Zheng Ying to be anxious.

After Zheng Ying came in, the emperor glanced at him, waved his hand at Chen Quanli behind Zheng Ying, and sent Chen Quanli out. Then, the emperor didn't speak, but continued to pace slowly with his back to Zheng Ying, really not looking like he was in a hurry.

The emperor's behavior made Zheng Ying even more confused. He hesitated, then decided to ask.

"Father, son......" Zheng Ying had just opened his mouth, but the emperor, who was pacing, waved his hand at him without looking back, and said, "I know you're coming." I scattered and ran towards you as fast as I could, and I sent many people to chase after you, but I didn't catch up. ”

This sentence choked back Zheng Ying's prepared words. He paused, and was about to reorganize his language and ask the emperor what was urgent, but the emperor turned around and asked a question that was difficult for him to answer.

"I ask you, have you gone to the Anguo Mansion?" The emperor's tone was not good: "Are you in such a hurry? In front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he chased him out regardless of this? Tell me what you are doing in the Anguo Mansion? Did you go to persuade Miss Mu to stay in the capital? ”

Zheng Ying was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the emperor would send so many people to him, just to ask this. And he was also very hesitant, he didn't know what the emperor knew, so he didn't know how he should answer this question.

However, the emperor obviously did not intend to leave too much room for Zheng Ying to think. He turned around, pointed to Zheng Ying's nose and asked, "Don't think about playing tricks in front of me." Today in the court, I can see it clearly. I sent her on the expedition, but her mother didn't say anything, what are you dancing with? Don't say that you are like those courtiers, you can't get used to seeing women go on battle, I believe you have a ghost! Why don't you put your eyeballs on Miss Mu? As soon as you disperse, you are in a hurry to chase to the Anguo Mansion. What are you going to do? Are you afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not be able to see it, but you have taken a fancy to Miss An Guogong, right? ”

was punctured by the emperor on the spot This layer of window paper, Zheng Ying simply gave up covering up, he hesitated, and then knelt down directly as if he had broken the can, and opened his mouth with a sentence: "Please fulfill my father." ”

This sentence almost didn't make the emperor angry.

"Bastard!" The emperor almost couldn't help but stretch out his foot to kick his son: "What do you want me to do?" Fulfill your marriage to the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion? Dream! I tell you that even in normal times, I have no right to interfere in the marriage of the Anguo Mansion. Not to mention now. Now that girl is no longer a girl to be married, but a red-makeup general who has been sealed by me. The Muhammad woman had to go with the army on the expedition, and the matter was non-negotiable. Xiao Wu, don't pretend to be confused, don't tell me, you can't see my intention to let Mu Girl go on the expedition. ”

"Erchen ......" Zheng Ying knelt on the ground, and after being silent for a long time, she said with difficulty: "You can wait." Wait for her to come back. ”

"Wait?" The emperor sneered: "Even if you are willing to wait? Do you think I'll allow you to wait for her? Do you think the old lady of the Anguo Mansion will watch her granddaughter marry the prince? ”

Zheng Ying knelt straight and didn't say a word. In fact, he knows the answer to this question. No way. Even if he could try his best in front of the emperor, it would be impossible for the old lady of the Anguo Mansion to allow her granddaughter to marry the prince.

Seeing his son pursing his lips and not saying a word, the emperor finally relented. He sighed, patted Zheng Ying's shoulder, and his tone softened: "Little Wu! It's not that you don't understand that I have high expectations for you. But the more this happens, the less likely I am to allow you to marry a Muhammad. The Anguo Mansion is in charge of the tiger talisman, and the Great Zhou Dynasty must not have a relative with a heavy army. Unless the Mu clan is willing to return the military power, I will consider letting you marry the Mu girl. ”

"Little Five," the emperor turned to stare at Zheng Ying and asked very seriously, "I let you make this decision yourself." You think about it carefully before you answer me. ”

"Don't think about it." Zheng Ying gritted her teeth and replied, "You must not confiscate the Mu clan's military power. ”

Hearing Zheng Ying's answer, the emperor nodded with great satisfaction.

"I know you're an understanding child." The emperor turned around and walked a few steps, walked to the throne behind the bookcase, and reached out and patted the back of the chair: "Do you think this chair is so easy to sit on?" It's too much to pay to sit in this chair. Not being able to stay with your loved ones is one of the most insignificant costs to pay. ”
