Chapter 65: Divergence
Because Mu Qing had such a thing, the news of the entire capital had already spread, and the three imperial concubines were also the concubines of the three princes, and such a thing would naturally make the hearts of those ordinary people feel a little unstable.
The emperor first wanted to appease the three princes and Mu Qing, but also to calm down the situation in the capital, so he ordered a thorough investigation of this matter.
The queen naturally felt a little apprehensive in her heart, if people knew that the prince did this time, not only would the prince's position not be kept, but even her queen's position might be a little shaken.
"Niangniang, don't worry about it, didn't you say it yesterday, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is punished by the emperor, as long as you say Niangniang, you don't know about this matter, everything will be solved, right...... At most, the emperor will punish Niangniang for a crime that is unfavorable to teaching, but it will not threaten your position. ”
The palace maid beside her comforted the queen a few words, but she still did not calm down, for the queen, the most important thing now is that it is best not to let the emperor know about this matter.
"Have you taken care of everything, including the Assassins who came back before?"
"Niangniang, everything has been dealt with, and it is impossible for those people to appear in front of the emperor."
The palace maid saluted slightly, and after saying this, the queen's face looked a little better.
She doesn't know that she has personally grown up with the prince since she was a child, why is she more than twenty years old, she has a family, and she is still so reckless and impulsive in doing things, if she hadn't protected her behind her back in the past few years, the position of the prince would have been handed over to others.
She squeezed her hand fiercely.
She wanted to shelter her son......
It's just that the mother family has been suppressed in recent years, and its power has been much lower, and recently the emperor intends to promote new noble ministers, and the situation in the court can be said to be changing rapidly.
If it weren't for the fact that she only has such a son, she would not have relied on the current prince alone.
But no matter how much the queen regrets it, the situation is already like this, and there is no room for things to turn back.
"The thing that this palace regrets the most now is that it didn't get rid of that Mu Qing in the first place, if Mu Qing died, he wouldn't have made so many things for no reason now."
Her face was a little fierce, and she looked very angry, she still had three worries in her heart, so she didn't make a move on Mu Qing, but now it seems that she is still soft-hearted!
Mu Qing recuperated in the house for half a month because of the so-called 'attack injury', and never went out.
She was happy, anyway, since Bai Lichen's body recovered, the subordinates of the Three Princes' Mansion had undergone a major water change.
Many of Mu Qing's subordinates who had looked at the thief's eyebrows were gone.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is merciful, I heard that Sister Furui, who served in the courtyard of the mother before, the Third Prince rewarded a large sum of silver and sent it out to get married, saying that Sister Furong is old."
Fufeng was a little girl who intended to take refuge in Mu Qing before, although she was a little scheming, but Mu Qing saw that she was smart and capable, and she was just a little cautious, so she stayed.
"Xin'er is running away to be lazy today, but I asked you to serve in front of me."
Mu Qing glanced at it, and his heart was not in the house.
"Sister Xin'er has been sick before, and now she has a fever, so she asked the slave to come over to take care of Niangniang."
Xin'er was frightened by Mu Qing's assassination before, and her spirit has not been good for the past few days, and she still fell ill in the end.
"You go and invite a doctor to take a look, just Dr. Chen, it's more reassuring."
This made Fufeng nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had a good life with his own young lady, usually if someone was sick, he was just looking for a doctor to come over and take a look, and whether he could survive or not depended on his own life.
"This maid is not daring."
Fu Feng was still combing Mu Qing's hair, and Bai Lichen's voice with a bit of chill came from outside.
He walked in directly without being informed by the maid, but fortunately, Mu Qing was wearing a coat, but it was not too abrupt.
"It seems that the subordinates in my courtyard are becoming more and more lazy, since His Royal Highness the Third Prince has changed so many subordinates, why don't you replace these lazy mothers-in-law as well?"
Slightly frowned with some dissatisfaction, Mu Qing snorted coldly, waved his hand to signal Fufeng to retreat, and talked to Bai Lichen himself.
"It's just the third prince today, when I'm bathing in the future, these nine princes, or other male guests, can come and go at will without notification?"
Mu Qing's words smelled of gunpowder.
The reason why she helped Bai Lichen to deceive the queen in this scene was to save her life, and to suppress the prince's power, so that the prince had no time to care about his side.
She originally thought that she and Bai Lichen were in the same position after all, but she didn't expect that Bai Lichen didn't seem to see herself like this at all, in his eyes, she was still an accessory, not an independent, and a person of equal status to him.
"You and I are husband and wife, how can we be the same as everyone else?"
Bai Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously only regarding Mu Qing's temper as a petty character.
He came here today just to ask Mu Qing what he wanted as a reward for accompanying him to perform such a big play?
"Remuneration?"
Mu Qing raised his eyes and met Bai Lichen in front of him.
"The only reward I want is that I hope that His Royal Highness the Third Prince can tell those subordinates to spread the word before entering the house."
Whether in modern times or in this dynasty, it is very impolite to enter a girl's room without any notice.
Hearing this, Bai Lichen knew that Mu Qing took this matter seriously, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with her in his heart......
Although Mu Qing is a somewhat intelligent girl, but in the end, the family is the official position of the fourth grade Shangshu, if it is under normal circumstances, she is not qualified to be her own concubine.
And he was already ready to give Mu Qing the so-called gold and silver fine, he thought that these would be enough.
"What do you mean?"
"I just think that His Highness is reluctant to give me even basic respect, so if I ask for some more than the so-called reward, I will naturally not get it."
Mu Qing lowered his head and continued to insert his jewelry on his head.
Bai Lichen didn't say anything, and when he saw Mu Qing, he stopped talking, so he simply left Mu Qing's bedroom.
Danqing outside saw his master come out with a cold face, and he was a little puzzled in his heart.
I don't know why, haven't these three highnesses only been in for less than a quarter of an hour, and how did they come out and be in such a bad mood.
"It's okay, you continue to send someone to secretly assist your father in investigating this matter, and you must ask your father's people to find out about the prince's body, otherwise this big drama will be in vain, isn't it."
Danqing replied yes.
Then, as if thinking about something, Bai Lichen spoke again.
"Tell the people in the courtyard that whoever enters the courtyard of the Third Imperial Concubine in the future will have to inform her."
Danqing was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, isn't it only his master who doesn't need to be notified when he enters the courtyard......
After recuperating at home for more than ten days, Mu Qingcai was 'reluctantly' able to go out for some activities.
What she cares about the most is her shop, when Fanbang came to pay tribute before, the shop attracted a lot of business because of some more Fanbang special gifts.
It seems that no matter what dynasty it is, this giveaway can always attract women to buy something that makes the desire to shop high.
As soon as I arrived in the hall, I saw Cuicui and Ling'er being busy, and there was a long queue outside.
"Mother, you're here."
Cuicui saw Mu Qing first and saluted respectfully.
"It seems that the business in the shop is good, if you have extra money, you go and choose two competent people to help in the store, so as not to take care of the business."
Cuicui nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you Niangniang, the business in the shop these days is excellent, I can earn back nearly fifty taels of silver in the best time of the day, and about twenty taels in the worst time."
Handing the account book respectfully to Mu Qing, Mu Qing looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
The accounts above are very clearly recorded, and they seem to be Ling'er's handwriting.
"Are there fewer guests today?"
Mu Qing saw today's accounts, almost no one came in the morning, and now there are gradually many customers coming to buy things.
"Back to the mother's words, the eldest lady of the Mu family also opened a jewelry shop opposite our shop, in the morning, their things buy one get one free, so many guests have run over, but the hairpin style in the shop is very old, and the material is not as good as the jewelry of the Moon Pavilion, so these ladies and ladies came here to buy jewelry again in the afternoon."
Cuicui's words made Mu Qing can't help but raise his head and knock on the opposite side, only to find that there is indeed a brand-new jewelry shop on the opposite side, which seems to have been hastily prepared, there are few customers at the door at all, and even the little guy watching the shop is dozing.
"Looks like you don't have to worry about it."
Mu Qing smiled, obviously not taking the shop that Mu Wan opened against him in his eyes.
"She must have just wanted to take revenge on me, so she opened a shop in a hurry, how good can the quality be? Don't care too much, let's just do our own business, I'll think of a few beautiful styles these days, Cuicui, you can find a craftsman to create it when the time comes. ”
Mu Qing gave a few more words to Cuicui and Ling'er, and then returned home with Xin'er.
And Mu Wan, who originally thought that her private money had been taken out of her blood, and after doing the buy-one-get-one-free activity, there would be more people who came to buy hairpins.
But in fact, there are not many people at all, at the end of the day, the shop can be regarded as a door, and within a few days, the shop will naturally not be able to open, and it will lose a lot of money for no reason.
Fortunately, all this money was spent from the dowry left by the first lady to Mu Qing, and Liu's heart was not so uncomfortable. But Mu Wan was extremely unwilling.
"Why can this Mu Qing be a good jewelry shop, I can't!"
