Chapter 176: Seeking Fruit Dew
Murong Mian did not make a public announcement about the attack on the seventh night of the first month, and only ordered Ning Jiu to investigate thoroughly in secret. But he was still known by the emperor and left him behind.
The two brothers sat in the south study drinking tea and talking.
The emperor looked him up and down, and his tone was complaining, "Why don't you tell me about such a big thing?" I'm the emperor, and I'm your brother! ”
Murong Mian smiled, "It's not that I'm afraid that the imperial brother will worry, and it's nothing to say, a few little thieves, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"Find out who did it?"
"No, the person sent is not very powerful, such a small fight, the younger brother is really a little confused."
"Isn't someone trying to test you?"
"There is this possibility, there are more people offended by the younger brother, and if you really want to investigate, you are a little clueless."
The emperor sighed, "It's all my fault, I always let you sing white face and be hated by others." ”
"It is the duty of the younger brother to share the worries of the royal brother, and the younger brother said so, and the younger brother was ashamed."
The Emperor asked, "How are the funds for disaster relief going?" ”
Murong Mian smiled, "The small head is there, and the big head is still missing, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." ”
The emperor also smiled and shook his head: "I still care about the face of Princess Chu, how can I say that Prime Minister Bai is also your father-in-law, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha." ”
Murong Mian sneered, "The Bai family owes the princess, what qualifications does Bai Ruqiao have to be the old man?" A family is not a good thing. ”
The emperor's face sank slightly, "You even scolded my concubine." ”
At this time, the queen walked in and said with a smile: "It's not that the emperor doesn't know the temper of the third brother, so why bother." ”
Murong Mian stood up and saluted, saw her carrying a food box, and asked with a smile, "The imperial sister-in-law is really considerate, she always remembers the imperial brother, and she is the most virtuous person in the world." ”
The queen said angrily: "I joke that your imperial sister-in-law is here, didn't the third brother also marry two virtuous people?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Murong Mian had a headache, he didn't make the calculation, he missed his feelings, and now he can't get up or down, and he doesn't know what to do.
Tentatively asked the emperor, "Brother Huang, the younger brother mentioned the matter of separation and harmony last time, if all three of them leave peace......
The emperor's eyes widened, "The three of them are divorced, and my finger marriage is child's play?" Gu Heng didn't say anything, Xiu Min would definitely not give up, he was still counting on you to help her daughter become the princess! ”
Murong Mian was counted down by the emperor, he didn't dare to say anything more, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and the queen asked him, "Third brother, you tell the truth to the imperial sister-in-law, are the three of you not satisfied?" ”
"Also, no," Murong Mian looked a little awkward, he liked one, the other two were simply impulsive mistakes, the emperor was right, getting married was not child's play, even if he didn't move them, they also married into the Chu Palace, and they were his side princesses and princesses.
The emperor couldn't tolerate it here, so Murong Mian wanted to say goodbye, but suddenly remembered something, "Imperial sister-in-law, do you still have the fruit dew you brewed?" ”
The queen smiled: "Yes, you want to drink, the imperial sister-in-law has enough." ”
Murong Mian smiled embarrassedly, "It's my princess who likes to drink, and children, they like to eat sweet." ”
The queen was deeply impressed by Bai Qianfan, and when she thought of her, she was a little happy, "I said before that I would enter the palace when I was free, and there is no one in the palace until now, and your little princess will not succeed in the palace." ”
Murong Mian hurriedly bowed down, "The imperial sister-in-law is not strange, the princess is young and doesn't understand the rules, and the younger brother is afraid that she won't know how to measure when she enters the palace, and it will be bad if she loses etiquette." ”
"A person with a board and a glance, I have seen a lot in this palace, I like to be uninhibited, if the third brother is not at ease, next time I will accompany you into the palace, the imperial sister-in-law will invite you to eat well." Speaking of which, remembering the matter, "I remember that the princess preferred to drink ......"
"Orange-flavored."
"Yes, yes, she prefers oranges." The queen then called the palace maid in, and told her to go back to the palace to get half a dozen orange-flavored fruit sherbets.
Murong Mian said: "Don't be so troublesome, just send someone to the noon gate, there are people waiting there, the imperial brother and sister-in-law, and the younger brother will leave." ”
The imperial brother snorted, "You should be more careful when walking outside, and bring a few more guards if necessary." ”
"Thank you for your concern, my brother knows." Murong Mian saluted and exited the south study, and hurried towards Heavenly Street.
When he went out, the queen laughed, "The third brother and Prime Minister Bai are incompatible, and it is good for Princess Chu." ”
The emperor snorted, "Don't you know him, the prime minister doesn't want to see him, he has to take good care of his life, this is a play against the prime minister." ”
The queen sighed, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, if it weren't for the fact that the last incident made such a big fuss, the concubines didn't know that Princess Chu had suffered so much in her mother's family, and Madame Bai's heart was too vicious." ”
"I heard that the prime minister is also very dissatisfied with his wife, and he took advantage of the last incident to put her under house arrest in the Buddhist hall, and now the second lady is in charge of the house."
"That's good," the queen changed her words, "What does the emperor think of the third brother's attack this time?" ”
The emperor shook his head, "I can't see anything, he himself is confused, and now he has many enemies, and it will take a lot of effort to investigate." ”
"The emperor sent a few masters to the third brother, how can I say that he is also doing things for the emperor, so he offended people."
The emperor sneered, "He himself is a first-class master, and the two personal guards around him are also skilled, and they are not in the way." ”
Murong Mian hurriedly returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the second gate, he instructed Hao Pingguan, "Go and invite the princess." ”
Hao Pingguan answered, turned around and sent Xiao Kuzi to Lanyue Pavilion to invite someone. Xiao Kuzi ran over like a gust of wind, and ran back like another gust of wind, as soon as Murong Mian entered the house and washed his face, he went to the door and replied, "Lord Wang, Yuexiang said that the princess is not very comfortable and is lying on the bed." ”
Murong Mian was taken aback, and walked out angrily, "Why don't you report if you're unwell, do you ask for a doctor?" Hao Pingguan, how did you become the chief manager? The master is uncomfortable, don't you know? Did you miss the board last time? ”
Hao Pingguan can't say it, he is the chief manager of the Chu Palace, not the chief manager of the Lanyue Pavilion, he can't stay in front of Bai Qianfan all the time, there is something over there, the maids came to report, he just knew, if he didn't come to report, how could he know?
But in front of the prince of Chu, he only confessed his guilt, and while hurriedly following up, he pleaded guilty: "It's the old slave's fault, when the old slave went to ask for peace in the morning, the princess was fine, sitting in the side hall and eating big meat buns, probably just now, it was the old slave's negligence." After a while, the old slave went up to the torture chamber and got the board. ”
Murong Mian glanced at him, "You have a hard time, and you are so neat?" ”
Hao Pingguan knew that this board was exempted, and smiled shyly, "The prince punished the slave, and the slave didn't complain, but he didn't have a good idea, and he was afraid that he would have to lie in bed for a few more days, and there would be no one to serve the prince." ”
