Verse 64: The human heart is the most unpredictable
Shining Sky City was the capital of the Great Mu Dynasty. Damu land is vast, concentrated in the southern zone, the land is fertile, the climate is mild, the products are also extremely rich, Yitian City is a good place to select the fine, the ancient capital of the three dynasties, occupy the time and place.
Not to mention anything else, the scenery here alone is enough to make people yearn for it. The streets in the city are wide, the flowers and willows are shady, and you can see exquisite attics everywhere, even the houses in the alleys, they are all blue bricks and blue tiles, which are very elegant.
There are temples and Taoist temples on the outskirts of the city, there are many gardens left by the previous dynasty, every grass and tree, every brick and tile are very exquisite, and when it comes to spring and autumn, there are countless visitors. The prince and grandson, the beautiful jasper, the poetry of the poetry, the scenery of the scenery, left a lot of good stories.
Farther outside the city, there are low mountains and fine waters, and there are countless fertile fields, which can be described as a rare treasure land. All year round, wind, frost, rain and snow, morning or night, there is always an endless beautiful scenery in the city, hundreds of years ago it is rumored that there is a messenger of the Yi people to visit, after seeing the city of the sky, he is reluctant to leave, stay here to live for 20 years, learn Da Mu's poetry and songs, flower arrangement, tea tasting, incense and paintings, and even garden handicrafts, medicine and acupuncture, if it is not for the limited life expectancy, he is not a generalist, can learn everything will learn well, he is afraid that he hates to move the entire Da Mu.
Twenty years later, he returned to his hometown and compiled a book about what he had seen and learned over the years, and the book described the city of Shining Heaven, although it was not written much, but it caused a shock. He called Da Mu "the country of abundance" in the book, just these four words, so that Da Mu has become the Tianfu that Yi people yearn for, and also let the leader of the Yi people invade the confidant, for hundreds of years, the frontier has always been not very peaceful.
Zhaohua grew up in Yitian City since she was a child, her appearance and posture and the beautiful scenery of Yitian City can be said to complement each other, and she has the reputation of "the first beauty in Beijing" at the age of twelve.
Zhaohua is more like an elf born in the treasure land of Yitian City, reincarnated in the family of Gu Wangye, her appearance is only three points like her mother, and Gu Wangye is not like her at all, and her personality is different from the two. Maybe it's because her mother died early, and her father and her don't speculate, so Zhaohua is only like herself.
The carriage back to Beijing slowly drove into the city, Mu Changhan had already sent someone to inform his father and mother, Queen Luan expected that Mu Changhan would be able to return today, so she sent Luan Huanyu to answer in person early.
The Luan Huanyu mentioned here is the person who was sent by Queen Luan to escort Mei Yuexue, and the person who tried to kill Mei Yuexue.
Luan Huanyu is actually not a relative of the Luan family, but in order to tie up with the Luan family, he relied on the Luan family to do miscellaneous labor, doing all the dirty work, just to give himself a future, what face, dignity he can all forget about, Uncle Luan Guo admired his ruthlessness, but Mu Changhan always scoffed.
Returning to Beijing today, Mu Changhan didn't expect Luan Huanyu to bring a small team of people to greet him at the city gate, so he didn't say a word with a cold face, Luan Huanyu took the initiative to greet him, and saluted in front of him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in the name of the queen's mother, please invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhaohua to enter the palace together." ”
Mu Changhan said: "I'll just go to see the queen mother by myself, the county lord of Zhaohua doesn't have to, this road is very hard, let her rest for two days, and enter the palace another day." Luan Huan Yu said: "The queen mother said, the last general must invite the county lord of Zhaohua into the palace, saying that she and His Majesty have something very important to say." ”
When Mu Changhan heard the word 'Your Majesty', his heart sank, and he muttered: "It turned out that my father wanted to see me......"
Gu Wangye's eyes were purring, and he only looked at the two of them with a twisted beard, but he didn't react, but Mu Changhan knew what was about to happen
Luan Huan said gloomily: "His Royal Highness did not inform His Majesty in the hurry of leaving this time, thanks to the queen's mother. Just as he was saying this, the curtain in the carriage behind him was lifted, and a beautiful girl came out of the carriage and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, General Luan." When the prince saw her get out of the car, he immediately turned over and dismounted and walked over, grabbed her and said, "Go back, don't go to the palace!" Father, Queen Mother, I told them. ”
Mu Changhan turned his back to Luan Huanyu at the moment, and Zhaohua saw that he looked a little strange, as if he was threatening her.
Zhaohua was stunned for a moment, and thought: "What does he mean by this, Zhou Wenlian didn't tell me, what should I do!"
The ghosts can see that asking her to go to the palace is to finalize the matter of the two of them. But what she couldn't see was why the prince was stopping her, wasn't this just fulfilling his wish?
"Damn it! I knew that Zhou Wenlian was unreliable, and I actually believed his nonsense! ”
When she was in the temple before, Zhou Wenlian helped her calculate the whole thing, and he said that the prince came to her in person, obviously caring about her. The prince left Beijing, it is not a trivial matter, I am afraid that it has already alarmed the emperor and queen, he told her not to take anything to heart, just pretend to be stupid, to make others feel as stupid as possible, to pretend to be very close to the prince, but also to pretend to be very filial, after returning to the capital, to enter the palace as soon as possible to see the queen, in order to show filial piety, but also taught her a lot of words, Zhaohua is also helpless, desperate, had to believe his words, determined to gamble, she also talked to her father Zhou Wenlian's idea to help her, Gu Wang Ye laughed and said: "I knew this kid had an idea, and he thought it so thoughtfully! I just don't know if my Yun'er will pretend to be stupid. ”
Zhaohua said: "He taught me everything, and I wrote it down." If they say something, how do I answer it, if they do what I should deal with, he taught me, and I confessed what he meant. ”
Gu Wang Ye only comforted her and said, "You just have to do what he says."
But the situation in front of him now is really a bit unexpected by Zhaohua.
Zhaohua was stunned and didn't speak, Luan Huan said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, you left Beijing without permission, Your Majesty is already very angry, please ask the county lord to go to the palace and talk about Yin Bai, which is good for His Highness and the county lord."
Mu Changhan likes Zhaohua, from the East Palace to the previous dynasty, everyone knows it, but it has never been broken, Zhou Wenlian's conjecture is right, she has to go on a trip, otherwise Queen Luan will never give up.
She didn't care about what the prince wanted to do at this time, anyway, she definitely didn't have any good intentions, she didn't follow his wishes, it must be right. So she secretly gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, choosing to believe Zhou Wenlian: "Your Highness, this matter was originally my fault, and it was so easy to come back today, I should immediately go to the emperor and queen to ask for guilt, how can I have the face to rest?" Your Highness doesn't have to cover up for me. ”
Mu Chang said coldly: "What are you guilty of, why do you want to ask for sin?"
Zhaohua said in embarrassment: "It was all my willful messing around and running out, which made His Highness worried, and I didn't even care about the affairs of the court just to come out to find me, so I naturally caused a big disaster...... Your Highness...... Why do you look at me like this, do you ...... Didn't you come to find me? "Zhaohua pretends to be stupid very similar, she is born innocent, a pair of big eyes are like black jade stained with water, crystal clear, and her usual temperament is more arrogant, coupled with her appearance, it is inevitable that outsiders will have a thought, thinking that she is a golden jade and her external ruin.
Although Mu Changhan never disliked her, he didn't like her, they often met without pretense, but it was far from being as close as the relationship between Zhaohua and Mu Suihan, and it was just a greeting salute in the past, nothing else, he had always heard how Zhaohua was willful, how arrogant, how big his face was, how to make the princess and concubine angry, and he didn't know that she was just upright, or in order to fight with the little palace maid and the little chamberlain, it was rumored that it was her fault, saying that she relied on her family background and His Majesty's favor to be unruly, I don't understand etiquette, Mu Changhan also decided in his heart that she has no city, today he actually intends to protect her Ichigo, he is the crown prince, even in front of his father and queen mother, as long as he tries his best to maintain it, no one can confirm the relationship between him and Zhaohua, even if he has frequently entered and exited the mansion of Prince Gu to visit Zhaohua, others can only talk about unrequited love, but if Zhaohua enters the palace with him this time, it will tie the two of them together, and the two will be happy, then it will be a big trouble.
He actually didn't want to marry Zhaohua, but he was forced by his mother's pressure to do what she told him, and if he had the opportunity to push her away, of course he would be desperate.
He didn't even tell Queen Luan when he went out of Beijing this time, and secretly came out just to make his mother think that he was sincere and delayed political affairs, hoping to make her mother dispel the idea of marrying Zhaohua's daughter-in-law, but now this stupid girl is still rushing to go, and Mu Changhan is very unhappy.
She talked and laughed to herself along the way, Mu Changhan didn't expect it at all, he thought that she avoided him, because she still had her younger brother Mu Suihan in her heart, which Cheng thought that she was just pretending to be reserved, wanting to get away with it, and secretly running away from home was all to test him, he usually only thought she was stupid, but he didn't expect that he himself was that stupid.
Everyone has their own calculations in their hearts, and these calculations finally caught up in one place, stirring up the current situation, and Zhaohua, who realized it later, had the advantage.
So far, Mu Changhan has nothing to do, and in front of so many people, he can't say that it is not because he is worried about Zhaohua, so he has to bite the bullet and say: "No, naturally it is for you, I am just afraid that the queen mother will embarrass you, as long as you avoid this time, I will always have a way to protect you, I can't complain about you, I want to find you myself."
Zhaohua pretended to be relieved, and said with a gentle smile: "I know, then since this is the case, we should share the joys and sorrows, what we have to bear together, I can't always shrink behind my back, let people laugh at my arrogance, I should have grown up a long time ago." This matter started because of me, and I ask the queen mother for the guilt, you ...... I can also suffer less grievances, I know, since that ...... After his death, His Majesty was very strict with you, and His Majesty's temper became worse and worse, I want to help you. ”
Mu Changhan was speechless, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Then go back to the palace."
Zhaohua also turned around and got into the car again, and the procession was led by Luan Huanyu's people and drove to the palace.
