Chapter 398: Entering the palace to stay
"See the Emperor."
"No courtesy." Mu Liancheng raised his hand, and seeing Yang Zhong's hurried expression, he felt more and more that something big had happened, "Uncle came here late at night, did there any change at the border pass?" ”
Yang Zhong straightened up, shook his head and said, "No, the minister came to disturb so late, not for official business, but for private affairs. ”
"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Mu Liancheng's heart was put down and he mentioned it again, because he had a hunch that what the other party was going to say must be related to Yang Fuyi.
"The minister wants to ask the emperor to let Yi'er enter the palace."
Mu Liancheng said with a smile: "If my cousin wants to enter the palace to play, let people report it directly, why do you need Uncle Lao to run so late?" "He's playing dumb.
Yang Zhong could also see it, but he had no choice but to explain.
"What the minister means is to let Yi'er enter the palace to serve the emperor."
"This, how does this work?" Pretending to be stupid, Mu Liancheng could only open his mouth to refuse, "I have always only regarded my cousin as my own sister, and I never thought of developing another relationship with her, my uncle should know." ”
"Yi'er's intentions, the emperor should also be clear, she likes to pester you since she was a child, and she wants to marry you, since you became the queen these days, she doesn't think about tea and dinner all day long, depressed, and the whole person is haggard."
"A few days ago, I met the queen outside the palace, and I was a little angry, these two days I went on a hunger strike directly, no matter how the minister persuaded it, the minister really had no choice, so he could only come to the emperor, hoping to get her wish."
Yang Zhong has been an official in the court for more than 20 years, and he has always held his head high and his spirit is flying, and he has never been so embarrassed as today, and he begged others to accept her daughter in a low voice, even if that person is a high emperor, it is difficult for him as a father to speak.
But in order to keep his daughter alive well, he gritted his teeth and said it anyway.
Mu Liancheng paused and said, "My cousin is sad, I'm sorry, I can go to see her another day, but I can't agree to the matter of entering the palace, and I hope my uncle won't mention it again in the future." ”
"Your Majesty ......" Yang Zhong thought that for the sake of his face, even if the other party did not agree immediately, he would at least consider it, but he didn't expect that what he heard was his refusal.
"Can the emperor bear to watch Yi'er go away sadly?"
"Of course I can't bear it, but I already have a queen, so I can't make another queen, right? My cousin is a dignified county lord, how can I be a concubine? ”
"Since this is her own choice, she can only be a concubine."
Yang Zhong has always loved his daughter very much, but he is afraid of falling in his hand and afraid of melting in his mouth, so Mu Liancheng expected that he would not approve of letting Yang Fuyi enter the palace as a concubine, so he just talked about this, but what he didn't expect was that he could agree.
Since it doesn't make sense, then you can only refuse strongly.
"Even so, I still can't agree, it's not too early, uncle, please go back."
"Even if you don't accept it as a concubine, at least ask the emperor to let Yi'er come to the palace to live for a few days, so that she can ease her mood, how about it?" Yang Zhong asked in a pleading tone.
"There are a lot of things wrong with this, you can't cheat for a lifetime, my cousin is not a child anymore, I believe that she will gradually figure it out by herself." Mu Liancheng felt in his heart that Yang Fuyi didn't really want to die, she was just making a fuss, and when she realized that this trick was useless, she would give up, but if she gave in now, she would only gain an inch, and it would be difficult to invite her to leave after entering the palace.
Therefore, it is better to put an end to her thoughts in the first place.
Seeing that Mu Liancheng was so ruthless, Yang Zhong couldn't help but have a lot of resentment, thinking that he was too cold, but if he continued to plead, he couldn't pull this face.
"The minister has retired."
Mu Liancheng sighed lightly and stretched out his hand to support his forehead, after this incident, Yang Zhong was only afraid that he had become estranged from him, and the relationship between his uncle and nephew and the relationship between the monarch and the minister would inevitably be affected in the future.
I sat and stayed for a while, read the bookcase as soon as possible, and then went to Xiuming Palace.
As usual, Feng Qingyan had already finished washing, holding a book and pretending to read it, but he was dozing off, and he was about to dream of Zhou Gong.
Mu Liancheng shook his head with a smile, walked over slowly, took away the book in her hand, hugged her and lay down in the quilt, leaned over and kissed her white forehead.
Although the movements were very gentle, they still woke people up in one fell swoop.
"You're done?" Feng Qing opened his sleepy eyes wildly, his speech was still a little slurred, and he habitually leaned towards Mu Liancheng's side.
Mu Liancheng let out a "hmm", gently stroked the long silky hair on her back, and her heart slowly returned to calm.
"Are you hungry? Why don't I call Xiaoyue and their meals? Feng Qing went to the imperial study at dusk, but he was discussing with several ministers at that time, so he didn't go in to disturb, and I heard Li Cocoon say that he was very busy today, and he just used his lunch indiscriminately, thinking that he might be hungry at this time.
"I should have asked someone to prepare in advance, but lately, for some reason, my brain is not very good, and I often can't remember things and forget them." He blamed himself in frustration and prepared to get out of bed.
Mu Liancheng hurriedly pressed her shoulder, "I'm not hungry, don't be busy, it's cold, don't catch a cold." ”
Feng looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Are you really not hungry?" ”
"You're not hungry, are you hungry?" Mu Liancheng laughed.
"I don't." Feng Qing snorted wildly, retracted into the bed, although she eats a lot, but she does not have the habit of eating supper, usually, she will not eat again after dinner, and in the past two days, her appetite is not very good, her interest in food has been greatly reduced, and she has no desire to eat supper.
"You sleep, I'll go to the side hall to bathe and change clothes." Mu Liancheng leaned over and kissed her on the forehead again, and turned around to go to the side hall, but at this time, Feng Qingfang was no longer sleepy, so he simply put on his coat and got up for a walk.
Pushing open the window, a full moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver light is sprinkled, covering the vast night with a veil, adding a bit of hazy beauty, but the fly in the ointment is that the weather is cold, and the cold wind blows from time to time, making it impossible to enjoy the moonlight calmly.
After blowing the wind for a while, Feng Qingfang couldn't stand it, so he had to close the window and sit at the table and pour a cup of hot water to warm up.
Not long after, Mu Liancheng, who had finished washing, returned to the dormitory, and when he came in, he was covered with mist, the hair on his sideburns and some of his hair were still wet, and he was wearing white clothes, his manners were elegant, his temperament was refined, and he had a bit of a picture of a fairy just coming out of the bath.
Feng Qingfang couldn't help but think like this, so the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"You're not sleeping, what are you giggling at?" Mu Liancheng looked at her puzzled.
"You're just smirking, it's not all because you woke me up, so I don't feel sleepy at all now."
"Oh? Really not sleepy at all? ”
Mu Liancheng sat down, staring at Feng Qingmad with burning eyes, and smiled evilly, "Then let's do something serious, shall we?" ”
After being close to each other for nearly two months, Feng Qingfang naturally knew what he meant by smiling like this, so he immediately blushed with shame, pinched his waist hard, squinted and said: "My business is to teach you a hard lesson, so that you don't have to do anything to me again." ”
"But I haven't done my business yet." Her little strength really didn't cause any harm to Mu Liancheng, he didn't frown, and he was still facing her facelessly.
Feng Qingfang deliberately pushed him away with a straight face, "As the king of a country, it is your business to deal with national affairs, not this kind of thing!" ”
Mu Liancheng retorted with a smile: "This is a mistake, the first thing the emperor should do is to have fun in time, and then it is a major national event." ”
"Faint King!" Feng Qingyan was still amused, "Only the faint monarch is like you." ”
The two snuggled up to each other with a big smile on their faces, and the atmosphere was peaceful and warm.
After a long time, Feng Qingfang suddenly asked, "Why are you worried?" Can you tell me about it? She thought that she might not be able to help Mu Liancheng solve the problem, but it was okay to be his trash can.
"Why do you think I'm worried?" Mu Liancheng would never bring official matters and things that he didn't want Feng Qingyan to know about to Xiuming Palace, and he thought that he was covering it up well.
"I'm not stupid, your two eyebrows are wrinkled so tightly, don't you have something on your mind?" In fact, when he just woke up before, when he opened his eyes and saw Mu Liancheng's face, Feng Qingfang noticed it, but he didn't ask immediately.
Mu Liancheng couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you are much smarter than I imagined." ”
"Hmph, it's good that you know, what is it that worries you, can you talk about it now?"
"It's nothing special, but I'm still worried about the war situation in Yunzhou."
Feng frowned slightly, obviously not convinced.
"Isn't that right? There must be more than that, but something else, right? ”
"How did you guess that?" Mu Liancheng was surprised and curious.
"Intuition." Feng said truthfully, "Intuitively, I think you have other things on your mind, most of them, private matters, not official matters. ”
Mu Liancheng looked down at her, his dark eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't believe that her intuition could be so accurate.
"Looks like I can't hide it from you."
"Of course, what is it?"
"Earlier, the general Yang Zhong specially entered the palace to see me, saying that Yang Fuyi was on a hunger strike and wanted me to take her into the palace to live for a few days, so that she could regain her desire to live."
Hearing this, Feng Qingfang had already guessed the ins and outs of the whole thing, "Just let you take you into the palace to stay for a few days?" Don't you want to take Yang Fuyi as a concubine? ”
"The light madness is really Bing Xue's smartness, and I know what he said without me saying it." Mu Liancheng turned on the praise mode, "A smart woman like you, I'm afraid there are few in the world." ”
Feng Qingyan didn't buy it, poked him with his elbow, and asked, "Shaolai, how did you answer General Yang?" ”
"Of course I am ......" Mu Liancheng deliberately hung and didn't say anything, but seeing that her face was getting more and more gloomy, he hurriedly said: "Of course I won't agree, I said, it's already very difficult for me to deal with the queen on weekdays, and I want one more Yang Fuyi, a fierce woman against a fierce woman, once the fight starts, will I not be affected by the dragon by the pool?" Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to take Yang Fuyi into the palace. ”
