Chapter 489: Sudden Worry
Hoping to create the best conditions for Mu Zhengyi in the north, hoping that the generals of the Mu clan can be safe, and hoping that the imperial court can support all the concerts in the north, this is Gu Yilan's wish.
I hope that Mu Hongshang can always be happy, safe and happy, without worrying too much, away from the concerns of caring people, and hoping that she can stay away from Zheng Jin, a scheming man, this is Xie Shurou's wish.
The best way to fulfill the wishes of both of them is to let the most suitable person ascend to the crown prince and become emperor in the future.
Of course, they are not naΓ―ve enough to trust Zheng Ying, but relative to Zheng Jin, Zheng Ying is the best candidate for the Anguo Mansion and Xie Shurou.
Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou both have their own people they want to protect, so for the common purpose, even if the two of them don't like each other, they can sit down and discuss things amicably.
When Mu Hongshang entered the door, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that the atmosphere between Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou was so harmonious.
She sat next to Xie Shurou with a smile, Fang Xin, who was following her, hurriedly put a plate of hot kidney bean cake on the table, Gu Yilan glanced at Fang Xin, Fang Xin nodded sensibly, and after refilling the tea for the masters, she turned around and went out with a water chestnut.
Seeing that there was no one, Mu Hongshang smiled and asked, "It's strange today, sister-in-law and Sister Xie are sitting steadily, not talking or angry." β
"I'm waiting for you, how can I have that idle time to worry about her." Xie Shurou smiled and took out a small cloth pocket with a strange style from her sleeve and handed it to Mu Hongsheng: "Here, how about my newly made handbag, better than the purse you commonly use?" β
Gu Yilan, who made an "ordinary purse" for Mu Hongshang all day long, immediately rolled her eyes when she heard this, she reached out and pulled the "handbag" over, looked at it twice, and laughed disgustedly: "This doesn't even have a belt, is it true that the little sister can get it wherever she goes?" It's not convenient at all. β
"It's pretty good, why can't you hold it." Not to be outdone, Xie Shurou replied: "The hand stove in winter is not where to go. β
"That's you." Gu Yilan laughed: "Delicate and frail, I fell down as soon as the wind blew." My little sister doesn't need to carry a stove all day long in winter, and she doesn't have the habit of holding objects in her hands all day long. The little sister's hand is to hold the sword. β
"What's inconvenient. Wouldn't it be better if you sewed a strap for the red dress to carry on your body? Xie Shurou argued unconvinced: "You are just jealous that I will do good things." I also drew a picture and designed a saddle bag for your father-in-law. β
"Alas!" Mu Hongsheng directly kicked the handbag into her arms, and rolled her eyes unbearably: "It's less than two quarters of an hour, it's really a cat seeing a dog." β
"I was wrong." Gu Yilan recognized her mistake very smoothly, and stretched out her hand very smoothly: "What about the picture, bring it." I'll find a craftsman to do it when I go back today, and I'll bring it to you in a few days. β
"It's just a husband slave." Xie Shurou pursed her lips, and quite unwillingly took out a folded paper from her handbag, threw it to Gu Yilan, and then pulled Mu Hongshang to turn around, and said with a smile: "Let's ignore your sister-in-law and let her play by herself." I'll tell you, I haven't seen you in a few days, ...... other day."
"Sister Xie, don't be busy nagging," Mu Hongsheng hurriedly waved her hand: "I still have something to ask you." You see that you're almost eighteen, you can't delay your family affairs any longer, right? β88
"What am I going to say?" Xie Shurou's face immediately fell: "Why don't you mention something good." β
"Isn't that worrying about you?" Mu Hongshang sighed softly: "I know what you think, so naturally you will be worried." β
"Does it matter what I think?" Xie Shurou snorted self-deprecatingly: "Anyway, my family doesn't care." The only one who cares what I think is you. β
Mu Hongshang lowered her head and was silent for a long time, and only after a moment did she gently reply, "Don't be busy and depressed first!" Maybe Lord Xie Xiang didn't choose him in the end! He just has more support from the queen than King Xin. β
Xie Shurou's marriage, Mu Hongshang naturally couldn't interfere, so she could only try her best to comfort Xie Shurou. However, unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan raised their heads together, and the two glanced at each other, as if they had captured something from Mu Hongsheng's words.
Xie Shurou glanced at Gu Yilan and gave her a look, Gu Yilan hesitated for a second, then said to Mu Hongsheng: "Hongsheng, you don't have to worry about her, she just loves to complain." What did he bother to comfort her about. β
"It's not a complaint," Mu Hongsheng raised her head, looked at Gu Yilan seriously, and helped Xie Shurou argue: "Sister Xie really doesn't like that person, and I don't like it either." β
"Then you prefer to believe in the king?" Gu Yilan asked, with a little imperceptible caution in her tone.
But how careful Mu Hongshang was, she immediately caught the subtle changes in Gu Yilan's tone. Her big clear eyes stared at Gu Yilan seriously for a long time before she finally replied, "Sister-in-law, I think King Xin will be a good emperor." β
It's not that I like it, it's not that I don't like it, but I "think he's going to be a good emperor." This sentence made Xie Shurou's brows jump, and she carefully observed Mu Hongsheng's face, wanting to capture more information. And Mu Hongsheng didn't dodge or dodge, and looked back at Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou directly, her glass-like eyes were open.
"Grandmother said that she hopes that the emperor can trust our family more," Mu Hongshang suddenly said: "Only by trusting more, in the court discussion, the emperor may be more biased towards the northern generals." β
"So......" Xie Shurou suddenly reacted to something, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Mu Hongsheng's hand: "Did Zheng Ying promise you anything in private?" β
Mu Hongsheng didn't answer, but still looked at Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan with a frank face. But such a clear and frank gaze made Xie Shurou hesitate. If Zheng Ying really promised Hongshang something in private, then what was his purpose?
Is it really because he loves red clothes that he promises something, or is it a elaborate performance to please Mu Hongshang and even the Anguo Mansion? Zheng Jin and Zheng Ying are brothers, Zheng Jin is a standard White Lotus scheming man, how good can Zheng Ying be? Was what he said to Hongsheng sincere?
If Zheng Ying's promise to Mu Hongsheng is out of sincerity, then he will be the emperor in the future, which is of course the best guarantee for the Anguo Mansion. But if it's fake...... Then their Xie family, Gu family, and Mu family collectively fell into Zheng Ying's trap!
Prince, is there a sincerity?
