Chapter 158, make a bet on yourself

"Oh? It seems that Miss Chu has a very high level of research on eating, Yun Zhi, go pick a few peonies, I remember that Chu Guifei seems to not only be able to dance, but also seems to be very talented in making food, right? ”

The moment Chu Guifei heard this, she raised her head sharply and looked at Shen Muqing and said, "What kind of talent is it, it's just to do it for fun." ”

"Whether it's or not, since Concubine Chu has come to Miss Chu's birthday today, it's impossible not to show your hand to the big guy, right?"

Concubine Chu Guifei bowed slightly, looked at Shen Muqing and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess said that this palace has to refute it, if this palace should make this dish and pastry today, then it is really a violation of the rules!"

"Rules? Is Concubine Chu talking to Princess Ben about the rules? ”

"The palace is just afraid that the princess will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing and be punished by the emperor."

"Hongu? Concubine Chu is really a big face, how many times is the identity of this princess higher than you, do you know? Even if the imperial grandmother is here, the imperial grandmother will not call herself mourning in front of this princess, she will say one grandmother after another, Chu Guifei is really a big face, she dares to call herself this palace in front of this princess, is she planning to take the queen mother's throne in front of Ming'er? ”

Concubine Chu glanced at the guests around her, and said with a cold smile: "The princess said this, but what do you mean by deliberately buttoning the hat for the palace?" Since entering the palace, the palace has suffered more palace rules than the princess, and the princess is talking like this now, so don't blame the palace and the princess for turning their faces. ”

Seeing this, Yun Ji immediately blocked in front of Shen Muqing, looked at Chu Guifei with a solemn face and said: "Guifei Niangniang, no matter how many mistakes Her Royal Highness the princess says, the emperor and the queen have educated you, so you don't need to bother talking about turning your face and not recognizing people here."

"How can this palace say that she is also the emperor's concubine, and she is also half the mother of the princess, how can she not have the right to educate her? This is outside the palace, and the princess's words and deeds do not represent herself, but the entire palace nobles, the palace naturally will not watch her mess around. ”

Chu Guifei walked to the peony flower placed on the ground as she spoke, and looked at Shen Muqing with a smile: "If this palace makes this peony for dinner today, it will not be the face of the palace, but the face of the emperor and the queen's mother." ”

Shen Muqing stood tall in front of Concubine Chu, looking at Concubine Chu with coldness in her eyes, she was powerless to refute her words, although she was a princess who was favored more than she could count, but she fully understood that those favors were given to her by her father and mother, she didn't want to waste them, she didn't want them to be beaten off half because of her words.

Concubine Chu stood up arrogantly, stuffed a piece of peony flower in her hand into Shen Muqing's hand, there were countless provocations in her eyes, and she was pitiful when she looked at Shen Muqing, "Princess, you should understand a truth, flowers bloom and fall from time to time, don't think that the delicate bloom now can bloom in the wind, look at this peony, it blooms so well, isn't it still picked?" The gun shoots the first bird, and the person picks the gorgeous flowers, I hope this sentence can better educate the princess, and the half of the mother of the palace can be regarded as dutiful. ”

Shen Muqing gritted her teeth and looked at Chu Guifei, at that moment her hatred suddenly surged into her heart, "Chu Guifei should know that flowers are not red for a hundred days, and I won't talk about the second half of this sentence, and I hope that Chu Guifei will not open her mouth and close her mouth in the future and call herself half a mother of this princess, you are not even worthy of lifting shoes for my mother." ”

Yun Jian was afraid that Shen Muqing would cause some trouble, so he pulled her back slightly, and whispered to comfort: "Princess, bear with it again, it will be fine soon, she is not much arrogant." ”

Shen Muqing glanced at the fountain water on the side, frowned and said, "No one else can do it, this matter has to be done by Princess Ben herself." ”

Just now, Chu Guifei's arrogant attitude had already made her understand that the emperor's favor for Chu Guifei could completely tolerate her killing someone, but if this person was her, it would be different.

She would never allow Concubine Chu to be so presumptuous, and she would not allow this woman to ride on her queen mother again and again.

Yun Ji naturally understood what Shen Muqing was going to do, but if Shen Muqing came to do it today, there was no protection underwater, he originally planned to really let Chu Guifei kill the maid next to Chu Qing'er, but now if Shen Muqing came, he was worried that Chi Shui Shen would really kill her.

Ruan Muheng naturally remembered this scene at that time, he didn't do anything to watch Shen Muqing gritted his teeth angrily by Concubine Chu, he just wanted this effect.

The next thing he had to do was to let Shen Muqing know that Chu Guifei intended to kill her, so that the straw that overwhelmed Shen Muqing would make her force Chu Guifei to step down, so that the Chu family would rebel, and the task would be over.

Chu Qing'er was afraid that Concubine Chu would say something that would make Shen Muqing unhappy, so she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Okay, aunt, you finally came here, and you haven't talked to your niece yet..."

Seeing Chu Qing'er open and close her mouth while laughing, Shen Muqing's hand was raised uncontrollably, and under everyone's gaze, it hit Chu Qing'er's face with a little hesitation.

Although Ruan Muheng knew that there was such a scene, when it really happened, he still couldn't control the anger in his heart, and quickly pulled Chu Qing'er behind him to look at Shen Muqing, and his tone was full of reproach for her: "Today is Miss Chu's birthday, when will Her Royal Highness the princess make trouble?" ”

Hearing Ruan Muheng's voice reproaching her, Shen Muqing looked at her hand in a daze, maybe the jealousy at that moment really occupied all her reason, she might really blame Chu Qing'er for robbing her Mu Heng brother at that moment.

Shen Muqing shook his head, looked at Ruan Muheng in a bit of a trance and said, "Brother Muheng, I..."

It's just that she hasn't said anything to justify herself, the moment she saw Chu Guifei, her reason lost control again, she forced herself to calm down, how could she be willing to hurt her brother Mu Heng, but she just couldn't help but pick up the dagger on the table and stab it into Ruan Muheng's heart.

"Stand down! All to this princess to step down! She shouted uneasily, only hoping that Ruan Muheng could stay away from her at this moment, she really didn't want to hurt her at all.

Yun Jian quickly noticed that something was wrong with Shen Muqing, and looking at Chu Guifei's slightly open and closed mouth, he immediately remembered the peony flower, and the peony flower that Chu Guifei put in Shen Muqing's hand must have moved his hands and feet.

Before Yun Jian could stop Shen Muqing, Shen Muqing immediately picked up the dagger on the table and aimed it directly at Ruan Muheng, Chu Qing'er saw this, and hurriedly rushed to Ruan Muheng to protect him behind him and looked at Shen Muqing and said: "Please Your Royal Highness the princess to calm your anger, don't blame the general, the general is also worried about an accident at today's banquet." ”

Shen Muqing knew very well who was standing in front of her, and she also knew that Yun Yan wanted to stop her, but she just couldn't help but let go and stabbed Chu Qing'er with a dagger.

Chu Qing'er closed her eyes tightly and protected Ruan Muheng tightly, at this moment she was gambling, she had already seen Chu Guifei's small movements, and she bet that Chu Guifei would not really want her life.

If she succeeds this time, she will improve more than one step in Ruan Muheng's heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, Shen Muqing's dagger stabbing at Chu Qing'er obviously stopped, but Ruan Muheng still kicked Shen Muqing's wrist mercilessly, the stinging sensation made her lose the dagger, and the ruddy eyes made her regain her senses.

She looked back at Yun Jian in a panic, and quickly fell backwards as if she was looking for a sheltered harbor, until she was slightly relieved when she was close to Yun Ji.

Yun Ji patted Shen Muqing's arm comfortingly, and said softly: "Princess, wait for your birthday to attack Concubine Chu, today's situation is not suitable." ”

Shen Muqing obediently agreed to Yun Heng for the first time, she raised her head, looked at Ruan Muheng with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Muheng, if I say that I didn't mean it, do you believe it?" ”

"Get out."

A word spitted out of Ruan Muheng's mouth shallowly, she lost all her hearing at that moment, and watched Ruan Muheng carefully sort out Chu Qing'er's clothes, and took her hand out of her sight.

Shen Muqing knew that Ruan Muheng was going to take Chu Qing'er to accept the salute, but she couldn't move any further, so she stood in place sluggishly, looking at her red and swollen wrist kicked by Ruan Muheng, shook her head with a wry smile and said, "What I did today made him very angry, right?" ”

Concubine Chu stood beside Shen Muqing arrogantly, and said indifferently in her tone: "The general is not angry, the general is just afraid that you will hurt Qing'er, the princess should understand now, right?" The girl who repeatedly advanced in the store that day was not a princess, it was Qing'er, Qing'er did not lose to any woman regardless of her status or upbringing, princess, don't think that she is superior to others, as long as Qing'er wants, Qing'er can also become the most noble princess in my Tang Kingdom. ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Muqing squinted at Concubine Chu on the side, even though she was rude and willful, she could still clearly distinguish between such rebellions, and said with a bitter smile: "Concubine Chu, if you tell my father what you say, you guess him..."

"Guess what he's going to do with Hongu? The princess doesn't seem to have figured out the form yet, so she loves this thing! It has an expiration date, what does the princess think? ”

After speaking, Chu Guifei left the back garden without looking back, her hairpin shining in the sun was shining, and the light just refracted into Shen Muqing's eyes.

Shen Muqing stood in the sun and looked at Concubine Chu Guifei like this, put one hand on Yun Ji's wrist, and said bitterly with a smile: "Swing and go back to the palace." ”

"Yes."

For two days in a row, Shen Muqing never left her palace again, and she received a secret letter on the day she returned to the princess's mansion: Prime Minister Chu's family intends to rebel, I hope the princess will not act rashly before she is ready, the biggest messenger of this rebellion is the concubine Niangniang in the palace, I hope the princess can destroy its main force to help us protect the country.

The superstition also contains a letter written by Chu Guifei to the Prime Minister's house, the paper and handwriting and the fragrance on it are very familiar to her, and it is already a sure fact that Chu Guifei wants to rebel, and it is no wonder that she wants to win over General Ruan.

On the day of the ceremony, Shen Muqing wore a princess crown in a formal princess blue dress, and the dress made of glass standing in the sun shone with the sunshine, but her face was less smiling but a little more sad, she didn't know how she got in front of her father, looking at the aging old man in front of her, she smiled slightly: "Father, my daughter has something to ask you today." ”

The emperor looked at Shen Muqing with some surprise, took two steps back in a panic and stepped forward to help her up, "My good baby, what's wrong?" What is there to ask for? Tell my father quickly, what wronged you? ”

"Father, it's a good thing." Shen Muqing snorted slightly, looked at the emperor with a smile and said, "Please ask my father and emperor to marry his daughter and General Ruan." ”

The emperor looked at Shen Muqing with some shock and said, "Have you thought about it?" He is a general, and he will go to war at any time, even if his father loves you and tries to let him go to dangerous battlefields as little as possible, but the man has always been ambitious in all directions, and it is not as reassuring as a man and wolf of the Wen family! ”

The empress beside the emperor also looked at Shen Muqing with some shock: "Nuan Nuan, you have to think about it, it is difficult for a man whose heart is on the battlefield to take care of your emotions and take care of your food and clothing." ”

"Queen mother, my daughter is a princess of the royal family, how can I treat myself badly with all this food and clothing!"

The emperor looked at Shen Muqing with a serious expression and said, "Nuan Nuan, this is a very serious matter, your lifelong event must be discussed with your imperial grandmother." ”

"The father and the emperor will deliberate, but the daughter's decision will not be changed, so let the daughter be willful again! Maybe it's the last time. ”

After Shen Muqing finished speaking, he stood up and saluted slightly: "Daughter retires, if my daughter can't hear her father in the main hall today announcing that her daughter is marrying General Ruan, don't blame your daughter for doing something excessive." ”

"You!" The emperor just watched Shen Muqing leave the hall, and the originally lively salute became embarrassing, but everything was still as Shen Muqing thought, and the emperor asked Ruan Muheng about his marriage intentions at the banquet.

In front of Concubine Chu and Chu Qing'er, she was married to Ruan Muheng.

Shen Muqing suddenly felt that the stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground at this moment, and responded to the emperor with a smile, although she saw the dissatisfaction and forbearance in Ruan Muheng's eyes.

She didn't think that she could rest assured that she could marry Ruan Muheng, she still took the initiative to join the team of swimming in the lake according to the original plan.

This day was the day when Tang Nuannuan neglected her mother the most, but it was also the day with the greatest burden in her heart.

"Father, are you going to put a bright light in a while?"

The emperor looked at Shen Muqing with a smile and nodded: "Yes, yes, go and prepare with your mother, you girl, come and like to put these." ”

Shen Muqing glanced at the bright lights on the high bridge and smiled: "The place where the bright lights are put is really a good choice, and the bright lights fall from the high bridge to the bottom of the river, so you are not afraid to light the backyard." ”

Her voice was very small and barely attracted anyone's attention, but Ruan Muheng still heard her insignificant voice, approached her with a heavy face and said, "Don't do stupid things, just follow the arrangement." ”

Shen Muqing craned her neck and glanced at Ruan Muheng, this was the first time she didn't answer Ruan Muheng's words.

"Father, my daughter wants to put the lamp with Concubine Chu this time."
