Chapter 842: Calculations in the Shadows
Lan Xin nodded, bowed hurriedly, and left in a hurry.
Murong Hui sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "How do you feel, do you want me to help you get a doctor?" ”
"I'm fine."
After Zhao Yu put the soup bowl down, he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he hesitated again.
"What do you want to say?"
The two had known each other for many years, and Murong Hui naturally saw his hesitation and hurriedly asked.
"I found that there are people on the border who respect the king, but fortunately, His Majesty governs the army strictly and has a very high prestige in the border army, so the people who respect the king cannot interfere in important positions in the army at all."
Zhao Yu sighed, he naturally knew King Jin's ambitions, not only him, King Jin's ambitions were almost known to passers-by, but he himself still felt that he was hiding well and was still grabbing power unscrupulously.
"The emperor and queen have already decided on this matter, don't worry about this, you just have to do your own thing."
Murong Hui lowered her head and said helplessly, she was thinking that it was time to persuade Murong Ning to deal with this matter.
The border guard Shen Heqing was born in Anyang Bofu, is Shen Jing's own uncle, and is a rare person in power in Anyang Bofu.
If King Jin insisted on seizing the military power on the border, he would definitely clash with Shen Heqing, and in such a situation, Murong Ning would inevitably be involved.
After the two chatted for a while, Murong Hui asked people to post to Murong Ning and choose a day to have wine together.
When Murong Ning received the post, An Yangbo was sitting next to him, and the two discussed the border matter.
"This Linghui princess is idle all day, but she doesn't know that the prince is very busy, and she even invites you to drink."
An Yangbo has always looked down on women, even his daughter Shen Jing, who was a side concubine, was just a chess piece in his eyes.
"Princess Linghui is very busy, not only to help the queen mother take care of the affairs of the palace, but also a lot of business and the imperial village to take care of, more than sixty percent of the annual income will be filled to the household department, so he will never look for me if he has nothing to do."
After speaking, he thought for a moment, and then asked the eunuch beside him, "Who did Princess Linghui see before she posted her post?" ”
"Back to the prince, Her Royal Highness the princess has gone down to see Zhao Gongzi from the Zhao University Scholar's Mansion."
The little eunuch hurriedly replied.
"That's right, Zhao Yu just came back from the border, and I want to come to Linghui Princess's main thing, and the thing you said is the same thing."
Murong Ning smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
An Yangbo raised his eyebrows, but he was a little more happy in his heart, feeling that he had won the bet this time, and on the surface, Murong Ning seemed to be at a disadvantage.
After all, Murong An was the first to enter the court because he was older, and he surrounded a bunch of courtiers, plus there seemed to be a lot of people around him for marriage.
But in fact, it is not very useful, and it is still restricted by the emperor and queen everywhere.
Murong Ning seems to be weak, but in fact, he still has the support of the Tang family, his Anyang Bofu, the actual person in charge of the Dingyuan Marquis family, and Princess Linghui.
It seemed more advantageous to want to compete for the throne, so An Yangbo hurriedly smiled and said, "The old minister thinks that you shouldn't back down anymore." ”
"We are brothers in the end, if the royal brother really wants this throne, give it to him, I don't want to turn against my brother because of this."
Murong Ning naturally knew what the people around him thought, and he had to explain it to these people, lest they go to fight with King Jin.
An Yangbo was a little disappointed, but he couldn't show it on his face, reluctantly
He bowed his hand and got up to take his leave.
After seeing the people leave, Murong Ning couldn't help sighing, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the historical records on the bookshelf, and said helplessly, did he really go back to that step?
"Lord Wang, the auspicious costume has been made, you can try it quickly."
At this time, the little eunuch dragged the auspicious clothes in, and his expression revealed a little joy.
This year is the grand celebration of Rongguo, so the prince and princess have to participate in the ceremony.
Moreover, this is also the first ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens since Murong Jun's reign, so the royal family attaches great importance to this matter, and Murong Ning naturally wants to participate.
Murong Ning also knew that this matter was extremely important, so he deliberately asked people to make new auspicious clothes, so as not to be rude at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
Murong Ning hurriedly got up and tried on the auspicious clothes, which fit very well, Murong Ning put on such a auspicious clothes, and looked much more majestic than usual on weekdays.
Seeing this, several eunuchs on the side hurriedly praised them, and Murong Ning stood in front of the mirror, carefully looked at himself in the mirror, and pursed his lips and smiled.
Just inadvertently glanced at the invitation, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help sighing, and his mood plummeted again.
"Keep it alive, don't break it."
Taking off the auspicious clothes, Murong Ning was no longer in the mood to try on clothes, and after a little lunch, he asked people to change their clothes and go to the yamen, and before leaving, he specially reminded the attendants around him that he was busy with official business, and he would invite Princess Linghui to dinner another day.
The little eunuch beside him disagreed in his heart, but in the end he still responded, and after Murong Ning left, he said helplessly to the old eunuch next to him: "Master, how can the prince give in like this?" ”
"The prince is kind-hearted and cares about brotherhood, which is the strength of the prince. However, it is impossible for people to blindly back down, and the reason why the prince can endure it now is because the king has not touched the bottom line of the prince, so that you have arranged everything? ”
The old eunuch sighed, and said helplessly, he watched Murong Ning grow up, and when he saw Murong Ning retreating like this, he was naturally anxious.
It's just that no matter how anxious they are, they can only endure it and wait for the day when Murong Ning recognizes the facts.
"Don't worry, Master, I have already asked the embroidery lady in the house to do it, and Concubine Shen will personally supervise it, and ensure that it will be made exactly the same before the ceremony begins."
The little eunuch squinted his eyes and smiled, hoping that his prince could use this dress.
"What do you kid think, if the prince uses this dress, he will definitely be calculated, and you are still happy."
The old eunuch knocked on his Royal Highness's head and said angrily.
"Don't blame the little one for speaking inappropriately, our prince just suffers too little, if the prince recognizes the true face of the king, he won't bear it anymore."
The little eunuch rubbed his head, and his expression revealed a bit of cunning.
Murong Ning naturally didn't know what the two of them said, he was still busy dealing with the official business assigned to him by Murong Jun, he was naturally blind to these things, and Murong Jun had instructed that he couldn't treat him with special treatment just because he was the prince.
Therefore, his treatment in the sixth department, although it is better than that of ordinary disciples, still took a lot of detours in the end.
Being busy with official business all day has made him improve a lot, and he has gradually forgotten many troubles, and he seems to enjoy such days after a long time.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to sacrifice to the heavens, and Murong Hui also got up early, dressed up and drank only a bowl of ginseng soup, and was helped by everyone to go to Fengyi Palace to ask for peace.
When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, she had just arrived at Mao, but waited
When she arrived, she saw that the emperor and queen had already dressed up.
Murong Ying was dressed like a little red envelope, and was sleeping soundly in her grandmother's arms at this time.
A few people got on the sedan chair and hurried towards the lookout of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, this was the first time Murong Hui had come to such a place, so it was fresh.
It's just that she can't look around, so she can only hang her head, hug Murong Ying, and follow behind Lin Yingxue step by step.
Lin Yingxue was unwell, and after walking up the 9981 steps of the lookout, her face was as white as paper.
Murong Hui hurriedly put Murong Ying on the ground, let her stand peacefully, and stepped forward to support Lin Yingxue.
"Hui'er, after the incense is served later, you will accompany your aunt down first, and bring Ying'er down."
Seeing this, Murong Jun hurriedly whispered.
Murong Hui nodded hurriedly, and was about to respond, when her eyes inadvertently looked at Murong An, and saw that Murong An seemed to be laughing.
It's just that he forcibly restrained himself and didn't let himself laugh, Murong Hui was a little puzzled, but participating in a heaven sacrifice ceremony, as for being happy like this?
Unless he was not laughing because of this, but because of something else, looking at his behavior of always glancing at Murong Ning, she felt that this matter was mostly related to Murong Ning.
After a few people finished offering incense, Murong Hui pulled Murong Ying with one hand and Lin Yingxue with the other hand to go down.
This...... What's going on......
As soon as they were halfway through, they heard a commotion in the crowd.
When she was puzzled, she saw that Murong Ning's purple auspicious clothes had turned blue, which was really a bit strange.
Lin Yingxue squinted her eyes and glanced at it for a moment, then stopped and said, "Ning'er, you have a smell of reed grass on your body, but you have been to the Ministry of Industry in this dress?" ”
Lutai grass is a pigment used by the Ministry of Industry to color carpenters, giving it a bright grass green color that can be mixed with other dyes to give it a different color.
Many folk dyeing workshops also commonly use this grass as dye, which is very common.
Murong Ning pulled the clothes on his body, and he was also at a loss, and said suspiciously: "Erchen just tried it on when he first got the clothes, and this is the second time he has worn it." ”
"Go get dressed, it's really inappropriate for you to dress like this."
After being silent for a moment, Lin Yingxue said lightly.
Murong Ning's face was extremely ugly, he really didn't expect that he would encounter such an embarrassing thing.
He was now eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, so he hurriedly saluted and hurried away.
Murong Hui deliberately glanced at Murong An and found that he was also surprised, and that expression was by no means pretended.
Murong Hui couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she was wrong, Murong An didn't know about it, and the discoloration of her clothes was just an accident?
After Lin Yingxue got out of the scope of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, she ordered to the grandmother who was waiting in the distance: "Go and call the inner servants beside King Ji." ”
Mama hurriedly answered, and went to call someone, and after a while, she saw the waiter walking over with two big boxes, first saluting Lin Yingxue, and then handing the two boxes to Mama.
"Why do you have two auspicious clothes?"
Lin Yingxue looked at the two auspicious clothes, one of which was worn by Murong Ning just now, and the other was brand new, and there was no problem at all.
