Chapter 54: Rumors in the capital

Although it was finally stopped in time, this time the matter was still spread by someone with a heart.

Even the rumors about Mu Qing and Chu Xuanling that had just been suppressed in the capital were now boiling again, more because of the previous incident of Chu Yuntian going to him.

Hearing these rumors, even Bai Lichen was a little surprised, he didn't understand how he could be in such a mood, could it be that he really fell in love with Mu Qing.

How is it possible, the other party is just a person who marries him for money, and even hopes that she will die early so that she can inherit her wealth...... Although this was a matter of the past.

"Master, the imperial concubine has come to see you."

Danqing whispered in her ear, the third princess almost didn't come to disturb her master's work, and now she didn't know what was wrong, but she actually took the initiative to come.

"Let her in."

Bai Lichen was stunned for a while, but still nodded, and asked Danqing to bring people in.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qing not only came, but also brought soup, smelling that it should have been just stewed chicken soup.

"This is chicken soup, drink more while it's hot."

Mu Qing put the chicken soup in front of Bai Lichen, Bai Lichen's face was a lot softer, although he guessed that Mu Qing must have asked him for something to do this, but he still hummed obediently.

"I came to you to tell you that it was a matter before, that is, a matter between me and Chu Xuanling."

Speaking of this, Mu Qing's face looked a little unnatural, and she didn't know why she suddenly talked about it.

I just felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so I simply followed Mama Chen's advice and came over with chicken soup to find Bailichen.

originally thought that according to Bailichen's character, he would not accept it, but he didn't expect him to be unexpectedly easy to speak today.

"What do you want to say, is it possible that I will let you marry Chu Xuanling?" Bai Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of tentative meaning in his eyes, "This is impossible, now you are my third imperial concubine, both inside and outside the government and the opposition know about this matter, as long as you are still in this identity, it is impossible for you to marry Chu Xuanling." ”

Actually, he shouldn't have said this, but he didn't know which tendon he was wrong, so he said it.

Danqing, who was on the side, saw his master say such a thing, and his face turned a little white with fright.

"What do you mean, Bailichen."

Mu Qing was also angered by his attitude, and today she came to ask for peace with good intentions.

I even want to explain this misunderstanding well, there is no special relationship between her and Chu Xuanling, and the only one who has a connection with Yu Pei has now come back, and the two of them can be said to have no intersection.

"I'm here today, and I want to ask for peace, thinking that the two of us are nominally husband and wife, and we have to get along well no matter what, but what do you mean by that? What do you think I'm here to do with you? ”

Mu Qing is not a bun, and her temper is not good, she used to be soft on Bailichen, just because of Bailichen's status.

And no matter how she says it now, she is also condescending, and she is eating and drinking in the prince's mansion, but she didn't expect Bai Lichen to still have this attitude towards her.

"I'm here for nothing today, I actually want to explain to you, I'm really crazy."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and was about to go outside, but on the way, she suddenly remembered something, and directly picked up the bowl of chicken soup again and left Bailichen's study.

"Master, you ......"

Dan Qing pondered for a moment, he rarely saw his master so uncalm, and even after serving his master for so many years, he didn't know why.

"Needless to say, this matter has caused a lot of uproar in the capital, and even my father and emperor left me to ask what this matter is after the early dynasty today, and I don't even know how to talk to my father about this matter for a while."

Even the ministers of the prince's faction in the court deliberately embarrassed him and stuffed him with a lot of work, but he was not as irritable as he is now.

After Chu Yuntian heard the news of this, he also regretted it in his heart.

"Hey, big brother was also in a hurry that day, so I went to find the theory of the third imperial concubine, now that I think about it, I was taken advantage of, and you are innocent with the third imperial concubine."

He was quite embarrassed to find his younger brother, since he came back from the last trouble, Chu Xuanling had been closed to Chu Yuntian for several days.

"Big brother, you are really a little too impulsive, if it weren't for your temper, how could you be transferred to a bitter cold place like the north by the saint."

The Chu family has been in the army for generations, and it is not that they have never been to the northern station, but logically speaking, the sons of the Chu family should go to the military places in the south, but now the eldest son of the Chu family has been transferred to the north and has become a nominal general.

It wasn't because Chu Yuntian's remarks in the court a few years ago offended the emperor above, the emperor Long Yan was furious, and since then he has held a grudge against Chu Yuntian, and directly transferred people to the north.

"Hey, okay, don't mention this matter between brothers, wasn't I young and frivolous back then, now you just give me ten guts, I don't dare to say this in front of the emperor, you can spare me......"

Chu Yuntian's face that was holding the wind and frost suddenly showed a frightened look, although the big man was not afraid of hardship, but the place in the north was not only bitter.

"You say it, but your temper hasn't changed at all, and if it weren't for the way things turn out, I don't think you would have reflected on it...... I don't have anything with the three princesses, and I can't have anything, and the two of us have a huge disparity. ”

As the eldest brother, Chu Yuntian naturally knew that his younger brother had plans to marry this Mu Qing back at the beginning.

At that time, his father and he didn't agree very much, but seeing that his younger brother had not had a woman he liked for so many years, Chu Yuntian actually didn't directly object.

"But if you want to marry this Mu Qing back, it's not that the eldest brother can't understand you, the appearance of the third princess is really ......."

"Big brother, be careful."

Chu Xuanling closed the book in front of him very unhappily, and his eldest brother closed his mouth and stood aside obediently.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's the eldest brother's fault this time, and I will definitely come to apologize in person after that."

Chu Yuntian said, and walked out in a hurry, Chu Xuanling originally wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, if he let his eldest brother go to the Third Prince's Mansion to apologize, maybe the gossip in the capital would be suppressed.

So let him go.

Chu Yuntian immediately went directly to the Third Prince's Mansion on a fast horse, and he didn't even bother to sit in the carriage.

He has always been such a fiery character, and everyone is no longer surprised.

"Niangniang, General Nachu is here again today."

Hearing this word in Xin'er's mouth, Mu Qing knew who she was talking about.

Somewhat helplessly holding her forehead, she sighed.

"What is he here to do this time, accusing me of seducing his brother?"

Mu Qing originally thought that after she said those words yesterday, General Chu would understand, but he didn't expect the other party to still look like this.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has already gone out to deal with it, Niangniang, why don't you just wait here for His Royal Highness the Third Prince......"

"Wait, wait!"

Mu Qing was holding back a ball of anger in his heart, and he was worried that he had no place to vent.

Fang Cai was kind enough to reconcile in the past, but he didn't expect to be choked back by Bailichen like this.

In the antechamber at this time.

Bai Lichen and Chu Yuntian sat facing each other, and Chu Yuntian had a little embarrassment on his face.

"The Third Imperial Concubine is not in the house today, I have something I want to apologize to the Third Imperial Concubine in person."

Chu Yuntian said this, but Bai Lichen only skimmed his tea foam slightly, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"General Chu may be a little inappropriate when he sees the third imperial concubine of this king, isn't it?"

"Ah, don't misunderstand the three princes, I didn't mean that, I just thought, I said those words before, chasing the wind and shadows, and I felt a little guilty about the three princesses, and I came to apologize today."

Chu Yuntian suppressed his temper, what he couldn't stand the most on weekdays was these crepe people, but now after all, he was at fault.

Bai Lichen's face was not very good-looking, and he wanted to excuse himself and say that the third imperial concubine had no time now.

But before the words could be spoken, a voice came from outside, and Mu Qing came with a heart and was not in a hurry.

"Isn't this General Chu, Yuanshan Temple has been away for a few days, why do you see that the general is a lot haggard."

Bai Lichen glared at Mu Qing, she just pretended not to see it.

Hmph, this man just reprimanded her for no reason, and he still expects that he can listen to him, it's just a dream!

"Three Imperial Concubines!" When Chu Yuntian saw Mu Qing, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "What happened in Yuanshan Temple before, I was impulsive, and I abruptly surprised the Third Imperial Concubine Niangniang, I really feel sorry, I am here to apologize today, I hope the Third Imperial Concubine Niangniang can forgive me for my recklessness." ”

Mu Qing waved his hand very generously and sat down on the edge of Bailichen, but his eyes did not fall on Bailichen's body at all.

He only looked at Chu Yuntian with a three-point smile, and only looked at the big general's face flushed before he continued to speak.

"Originally, it was just a misunderstanding, but since it was made clear, there was naturally no misunderstanding, and the general must have been used by others, so it would be like this."

Speaking of this, Chu Yuntian was a little annoyed, and after he went back, he recalled for a long time, where did he hear this.

But after thinking about it, I only remember that I heard a few young ladies talking about this matter, but I heard someone say that the three imperial concubines are now offering incense in the Yuanshan Temple, and this is the past.

It's just that now that I think about it, how do these three imperial concubines know about the incense in Yuanshan Temple?

And why did he happen to know it again, it was an obvious conspiracy at first glance, but he didn't think much about it at the time, and was carried away by anger, which made a big mistake.

Fortunately, it didn't make a big fuss at that time, otherwise the reputations of Mu Qing and Chu Xuanling would have been ruined by more than half.
