CHAPTER XLVI

"The concubines in the Manwang Mansion who are younger than me are also eleven or twelve, even if they come over, they will not be useful. This child still has to be born by himself. Yu Fei shook her head a little irritably, and Mrs. Xu sighed: "Of course I know, but now...... Isn't this the prince, can't you, is it possible that you can still give birth to a child by yourself! ”

"Of course you can't be alone." Yu Fei looked at his nails dyed with bright red Kodan, and said pointedly, "In this palace, there is not only the prince who is a man. ”

"You're crazy!" Mrs. Xu covered Yu Fei's mouth and looked left and right before lowering her voice and reprimanding: "Can you say this?" Confuse the royal bloodline, and our whole family will have to follow you unlucky! ”

Yu Fei frowned and pulled Xu's hand down, and said impatiently, "Then what should my wife let me do?" In two years, as soon as the old immortal kicks his legs and leaves, I will stay in the palace as a widow and watch the son inherit the Yongwang Mansion?! ”

"You said that it was you who made me think of pulling the son down, and now it is you who are stopping me, but my wife is talking about it, what do you want me to do?" Yu Fei said angrily.

Seeing that Yu Fei was angry, Xu Shi didn't back down, and said, "Then you can't come nonsense!" If it is known, will you die? Is our family going to die? I've been planning for so many years, not to send you to your death! ”

"Don't worry, madam, won't it be over if you don't find out? Besides, giving birth to a child with a foreign surname is called confusing the Wang bloodline, if this child is ...... Is it the blood of the prince's own family? Yu Fei leaned over, looked at Xu Shi and said softly.

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then had some conjecture in his heart, "You mean ......?"

Yu Fei put one hand on her lower abdomen, the fine fabric was silky to the touch, and under the palm of her hand, it was where she stood in this life, she looked at Xu, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were undisguised ambition and calculation, "The prince is old, and he can't count on childbirth, but the prince, there are so many sons in their prime." Son and grandson, in fact, there is no difference, anyway, they are all the blood of his Xiao family, isn't it? ”

Hangzhou, Shili Pavilion

The dispute between the two Mu was settled, and as soon as Zhou Qingnian decided the case, the news that the Mu clan threatened people to occupy the Mu family's property was like growing wings, flying all over the entire Hangzhou City, not to mention the Xujia Town, where the Mu family was based, and even the more remote towns heard this rumor.

Mu Qiwen was sentenced to exile, and half of Mu's family property was confiscated. Mu Qingling's side refused to touch this silver, only saying that the Mu clan did not hurt her, nor did they cause the actual loss of Mu Fu, so there was no need for compensation.

Zhou Qingnian heard Mu Qingling say this, so he simply waved his pen and used the silver as a donation for Hangzhou, repairing bridges and roads, and benefiting the people.

After this action, the people of Hangzhou City had a better opinion of Mu Qingling, so that when Mu Qiwen embarked on the road of exile, he was smashed all the way from the prefect's prison to the outside of the city with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

"Mu Qiwen also deserves it, now that the Mu clan has dispersed, it is too late for each of them to be busy protecting themselves, and I think there will be no more moths." In the pavilion on the hillside, Yu Wenyuan looked at the officials and Mu Qiwen who were slowly moving forward on the road below, and said lightly.

Mu Qingling stepped forward, there was no shelter here, and the wind was a little strong. She gathered the snow-blue cloak on her body, looked at Mu Qiwen who was gradually walking away, and said: "Their family is already a family of wealth, and they are dedicated to business, maybe in one or two generations, they can also produce a few talented Jinshi and worship officials." It's a pity......"

"The family has accumulated and operated for generations. If Mu Qiwen had such a plan and foresight, he would never have come up with such a dirty idea. What he wants is not a long-term family full of glory, but his own prosperity, glory and wealth. In the end, he is just a selfish villain. Yu Wenyuan looked into the distance and said slowly.

"The two of you are so interested, this good weather, not to mention going to enjoy the flowers, but running here, what's the matter, is the dust raised by the wheels on this road very beautiful?" A laugh came from outside the pavilion, interrupting the conversation between Mu Qingling and Yu Wenyuan.

Mu Qingling looked back, and saw Xiao Lanwei dressed in moon-white clothes, with a jade crown and bundled hair, shaking a folding fan and walking into the pavilion with a squirming look, "Father took a lot of care of the Mu family before his death, and today Mu Qiwen went out of the city, and my cousin and I came over to take a look." What about the prince? Why did the prince come over? Mu Qingling asked.

Xiao Lanwei walked to Mu Qingling's side, closed the fan, put one hand in front of him, looked into the distance and said: "I have seen this Mu people from a distance on the street before, although he was not a fat and strong member at that time, he was also in good spirits, and in just a few months, now he looks like a dying old man when he looks at his back." ”

Yu Wenyuan also looked over and sighed: "Once you are in prison, this life is at the end." Even the relatives and children in the family were taken by him and couldn't hold their heads up, so they couldn't grow old overnight. ”

"I can't complain about myself, and I can't blame others." Mu Qingling retracted her gaze and said.

Xiao Lanhuan put down his hand, and the folding fan he closed knocked in his hand again and again, he looked at Yu Wenyuan and asked, "The will of Jingzhong has come down, and the prince of Yongwang will go to Hangzhou with Xu Sanhu to deal with the case of the rebellion between the Holy Puritanism and King Yu." I could have asked for credit for you when I was writing this time, but after thinking about it, it would be better to wait for this case to be understood, and after the prince of Yongwang and Xu Sanhu returned to Beijing, it would be better to ask for credit for you. It would be more appropriate for me to give another proof then. ”

Yu Wenyuan turned around and shook Xiao Lanyuan to the end, and said, "Yu Wenyuan has thanked the prince for his great kindness. ”

Xiao Lanwei helped Yu Wenyuan up and said with a smile: "What are you doing, in the end, this is your own merit." How can this king afford such a great gift from you? ”

Yu Wenyuan was uneasy, when he was in the capital, his father wanted him to take the road of the imperial examination, but the Xu family was deliberately sabotage, and he didn't know anyone before.

During the time when he recognized Xu's face, he also thought hard about what he should do. After the Feng family's incident, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The Jingyong Mansion has stood in the capital for so many years, and after several generations of emperors, it must not go wrong with him or his father.

Being recommended by Xiao Lanwei is tantamount to a great joy from heaven for him. For Xiao Lanwei, he is even more impressed.

"I've heard of King Yong, this Xu Sanhu...... Who is it? Mu Qingling saw that Yu Wenyuan was a little excited, so she quickly changed the topic and asked.

"Although I often go back and forth with the sons of various families in Beijing, I have never heard of this person. can be appointed by the emperor as a messenger, compared to not an ordinary person, right? Yu Wenyuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

Xiao Lanhuan looked at the two people who were looking at him, raised the fan and gently tapped his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't look at me, I'm not as good as Wen Yuan." He has been socializing in Beijing for a while, I have been here for a few years, and I don't know most of the officials in Beijing, this person ...... I also listen to it very well. ”

Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanhuan with admiration, it was really rare for the prince to treat him like this. As the youngest son of the Empress Dowager, the emperor raised him as a son, behaved as a person, and the emperor taught him to read and write.

I really don't know what to say about this person.

Xiao Lanwei felt Mu Qingling's eyes, turned his head and coughed lightly, and argued forcefully: "The wise man is happy in the mountain, the benevolent person is in the water, this king, this king is the way of yearning for sages." ”

Mu Qingling rolled her eyes, and said secretly in her heart, listen to your nonsense. But he said: "Speaking of which, the new governor is also coming soon, right?" Yu Wenyuan nodded, "Yes, it is said that he will be able to take office in less than half a month." ”

Mu Qingling turned her head, looked in the direction of Hangzhou City, and muttered: "It's good, this Hangzhou City is going to have a new atmosphere again." ”
