Chapter Eighty-Four: The Dowry

"What does Her Royal Highness the princess want to do, doesn't General Mo really know?"

Xie Yu's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fell on Xuan Mo, with a slight scrutiny: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as General Mo doesn't come to spoil Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess will probably not mind the general standing in line among several Royal Highnesses." ”

"If you stand on the wrong side, it is nothing more than an enemy of Your Highness, and with the authority in the hands of General Mo, I don't think I will put a powerless princess who lives in the harem in my eyes."

The corners of Xuanmo's mouth twitched.

If she is powerless and powerless, I don't know how many people in this world can be regarded as powerful.

Considering the people who passed by not far after the dispersal, Xie Yu didn't say much to him, and left the palace unhurriedly after bowing.

Leaving Xuan Mo standing alone, his eyes were unpredictable.

What happened in the court soon reached Changshu's ears, including the attitude of everyone in the court.

Knowing that Emperor Xuan handed over this matter to Dali Temple, Changshu was playing chess with Nanxu, and the hand holding the chess piece was slightly stunned, and it fell into the wrong place.

Nan Xu raised his head and looked at her with some concern: "Your Highness." ”

Changshu looked at the black and white chess pieces crisscrossing the chessboard, her eyes were a little distracted, and when she heard her voice, she shook her head and sneered: "Look, it's not bad at all as I expected." ”

Nan Xu hesitated, not knowing how to comfort her: "The emperor ...... him"

"Suspicious as always, right?"

Changshu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one, and his tone was a little indifferent: "You don't have to comfort the palace, he knows that Xie Yu is a person from the palace, but I'm afraid that at this time, I should wonder if the palace has installed people in Zongzheng Temple." ”

"His choice of Dali Temple is also expected in the palace, but the third prince went to Dali Temple like this, no matter what was found out in the end, his face was gone."

"Tell Xie Yu and Dali Siqing to delay the closing of the case for as long as you can, don't worry."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, the second prince and Princess Qingyang are asking to see you outside the palace." Jiang Ran said outside.

Changshu smiled: "It's been so long, they finally know that they have to pass before entering Changle Palace." ”

Nan Su frowned, puzzled: "Princess Qingyang is just that, why is the second prince here." ”

"Don't you know when you see it?"

Changshu got up, motioned to Nan Su to put away this set of chess, and said lightly: "Let the second emperor brother come to the Huxin Water Pavilion, as for Qingyang, let her wait." ”

The second prince, Mu Jingxing, is twenty-four years old this year, and he is a very, very taciturn person, and his sense of presence in the palace is extremely low, and generally no one in the palace mentions him unless he takes the initiative to do something.

The prince has done his job, and he can be regarded as unique.

Under the guidance of the palace maid, he went to the back garden, walked along the corridor with nine bends and eighteen bends to the water pavilion in the center of the lake, the maid opened the bamboo curtain for him, and Mu Jingxing saw the red-clothed girl leaning on the soft couch at a glance, closing her eyes slightly and closing her eyes to take a break.

Not far away, a blue-clothed palace maid sat in the corner playing the piano, her slender ten fingers flying on the strings, and the sound of the piano poured out, which was unexpectedly ethereal and clear.

Mu Jingxing didn't speak, and stood quietly in front of Changshu.

Changshu opened her eyes and looked at him, and her tone was light: "Second Emperor Brother, you are blocking my light." ”

Mu Jingxing was silent, and after a moment, he turned sideways to the side.

Changshu smiled, sat up straight, and didn't plan to sell anything to him: "The second emperor brother hasn't stepped into Changle Palace for several years, why do you remember to come over today?" ”

Yes, when Changle Palace was closed, it was after she had a big quarrel with Emperor Xuan, and the people in the palace felt that this was a joke that was mostly confined, and there were many people who came to see her, and there were many people who found faults, only the second prince never came to the door.

Seeing that she was finally willing to take care of him, Mu Jingxing took out a delicate wooden box and put it on the low table in front of her, and said lightly: "This is the dowry that the crown prince and the royal brother ordered me to prepare for you back then." ”

The smile on Changshu's face disappeared suddenly, and she raised her head suddenly, staring at him tightly: "What did you say?" ”

Mu Jingxing repeated, his tone was extremely indifferent: "This is the dowry prepared for you by the crown prince's brother, which was prepared from not long after you were born, until three years ago. ”

He followed the prince very early, his mother was not favored, and the people in the palace were used to praising the high and the low, even as a prince, his life was not easy at a young age, if it weren't for the prince and the queen to take care of him, he was afraid that he would have died in the deep palace long ago.

Mu Jingxing was particularly impressed by that memory, he never thought of being an enemy of the prince, and he clearly remembered how happy the prince and queen were when the little princess was born.

The white, tender and pink little girl is the favorite of the entire Weiyang Palace, and everyone gives her the best wishes, hoping that she, the noble little princess, can live this life safely and carefree.

He still remembers that the young prince said that he wanted to protect his sister and let her sister have no worries for a lifetime, and he also remembered that the prince was watching his newborn sister by the cradle of the little princess, and he was already worried about the little princess's marriage in the future at a young age.

That's why there is this dowry that has been prepared for more than ten years.

It's just that I didn't expect that I originally wanted to surprise her, but in the end she was left with sadness.

"After the royal brother went, I was taking care of it, and I thought I would give it to you earlier, but I never found a chance."

Changshu's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

After a long silence, she stretched out her hand, and with a slight tremor in her fingertips, opened the box.

Inside the box was a stack of title deeds, on which was placed a palm-sized jade order.

Changshu looked at the past one by one, most of these land deeds are near the capital, and some are other villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are some scattered land deeds in other places.

Mu Jingxing said lightly: "In addition to these land deeds, there are many gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all piled up in the palace outside the capital, guarded by special personnel, those wealth is enough for you to squander your life, with this jade order you can pass." ”

"Those people only recognize the princess who holds the token."

Changshu pursed her lips, her eyes were slightly wet, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Mu Jingxing's eyes fell on her face, looking at her as if she was going to cry or not, and the ghost envoy said in a bad way: "The queen mother and the crown prince and brother will not want to see you like this." ”

Changshu pursed her lips tightly, but still didn't speak.

After a long time, she raised her hand, and the red sleeves of her clothes swiped fiercely at the corners of her eyes, and she was suddenly dyed with a wetness: "What do I look like?" The calculating heart of the black heart and black lungs? Unscrupulous means to an end? ”

"Is the Second Emperor Brother here to persuade me to stop today, or are you worried that after I deal with the Third Emperor Brother, it will be your turn next?"

Mu Jingxing was silent for a moment and looked at her like this: "I mean, they won't want to see you so sad. ”

Seeing that Changshu didn't speak, he said lightly: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, it's not good to smile." ”
