Chapter 256: Don't Say It
"Who said that Weichen didn't want to tell, but the concubine said that she wanted to surprise the emperor."
"What a surprise, what a surprise." The emperor laughed heartily, "I and the Marquis of Zhenbei haven't seen each other for ten years. β
"yes." The Marquis of Zhenbei also sighed, "There is trouble in the Northern Regions all the year round, and there are wars every year, and Weichen really can't find the time to come back to see the emperor." β
"Alas, it's hard work for you."
"For the sake of the country and the stability of the Yan Dynasty, no matter how hard Weichen is, it is worth it." Zhenbei Hou said: "And since last year, the northern region has changed its new master, and there has been continuous civil strife, so it didn't bother us, and it is precisely because of this that Weichen also has time to come back and take a look." β
The Marquis of Zhenbei said that the emperor was so happy, "Okay, the Marquis of Zhenbei has made a lot of contributions." By the way, this little girl isβ"
As the emperor spoke, he suddenly saw the little girl standing behind the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, lively and lovely.
Seeing the emperor looking at the girl behind him, the Marquis of Zhenbei was so proud, "Haha, the emperor, you don't know yet, this girl is the granddaughter of Weichen." β
"Granddaughter!" The emperor dropped his jaw in shock, and pointed at the Marquis of Zhenbei, "You, you are younger than me, and you even have granddaughters." β
"Hehehe, this is Weichen's only granddaughter, and the rest are the little kings and eight lambs with handles." The Hou of Zhenbei was proud, he had been in the Northern Regions for a long time, and he spoke in the northern region, "This is the eldest daughter of Mu Yue, the eldest son of Weichen, called Mu Qianlan, the Lan of Shanlan, and the meaning of separating the homeland from thousands of mountains and rivers." β
The emperor was not only not angry because of the nonsense of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but joked very much, "Eh, for so many years, it has been the Mu family that has guarded the northern border pass, if it weren't for you, where would there be peace in the capital." I see all your dedication to the court. β
"Don't say that, the emperor and the emperor were good brothers who were born and died, these are what Weichen should do. By the way, Qianlan, salute the emperor, didn't you teach you when you were at home? β
Mu Qianlan hurriedly bent over and smiled mischievously: "The courtiers see the emperor." β
"Get up, get up. Come on, give a seat to Zhenbei Hou and Qianlan, and sit in front of me. β
The Marquis of Zhenbei was also a courtier, but he was able to sit in front of the emperor, which shows the high status of this person.
All the people present cast a glimmer of envy at them.
Only King Qing drank indifferently.
Luo Qingqing watched silently, thinking secretly in her heart.
Come to think of it, in addition to the emperor in the court now, the highest status is the Beihou and King Qing of this town.
As for Jiang Yushen, he has to be completely behind.
"It's herβ" A low murmur came from her ear.
Qin Qiling looked at Wei Yang beside him, and seeing that he was looking at Mu Qianlan thoughtfully, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
"It's nothing." Wei Yang retracted his gaze, "It's just that Weichen seems to have met Miss Mu." β
"Oh?"
"Maybe she hasn't been in the capital for many years and doesn't know the way, so ask me to show her the way."
Qin Qiling smiled when he heard this, "If you know each other, this is a good thing. β
"A good thing?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'll just say it casually."
Wei Yang retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, what I have to do has not been done yet." β
Qin Qiling nodded, and then raised his voice and said, "Zhenbei Hou, I don't know if you still remember me?" β
After hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei glanced at Qin Qiling, and after a long moment, he exclaimed, "Is it His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
"It's me."
"You're that old already." Zhenbei Hou stood up.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for ten years, Master Hou, you haven't changed at all, I salute Master Hou for a cup to thank Lord Hou for his contribution to Zhenbei."
The Marquis of Zhenbei copied it and replied, "Your Highness is polite." β
Qin Qiling opened his head, and the other ministers came over to toast one by one.
In this way, the hall became lively little by little, and at the back, the people at the banquet were free, and they walked around and toasted and chatted at will.
The women also gathered in twos and threes, talking about some of their daughters' homely routines.
The tassel princess held a one-year-old child in her arms and talked to several young women of average size about the Pony Mansion.
Chen Yuanyuan stood beside her, listening gently.
At this time, someone gently tapped him on the shoulder.
Chen Yuan subconsciously turned around, only to see Wei Yang standing not far from him, concentrating on pouring wine.
Chen looked around remotely, and for some reason, he knew that it was Wei Yang who was looking for him.
He raised a flask, walked to an inconspicuous place, and went out of the temple at the side door.
Sure enough, after a while, Wei Yang's voice sounded behind him, "How do you know it's mine?" β
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly turned around, glanced at Wei Yang, and then walked to the shadows vigilantly.
Wei Yang also followed.
The round moon hung in the sky, and they looked at each other.
Wei Yang was calm, while Chen Yuanyuan was a little flustered.
"You're still the same as before, not bold enough." Wei Yang said in a low voice.
Chen Yuanyuan let out a long sigh, "There are so many people today, why are you looking for me?" β
"I can't find you when no one is around, do you want me to find the Horse Mansion?"
Pony House? Chen Yuanyuan smiled bitterly, "Yes, otherwise when will you look for me." Say, what are you looking for me, it can't be a reminiscence. β
"You know me so well." Wei Yang lifted the flask and took a sip, smacking his lips, "Tell me, the real list." β
His voice was very low, but Chen Yuan was really stunned.
Soon, he looked at Wei Yang and asked, "How do you know there will be a list?" β
"If Prime Minister Jiang wants to install his own people in the northwest, there will definitely be a list."
"Isn't that list already in your hands?"
"You should know that I'm not talking about that list, I'm going to have a more authentic one."
Chen Yuanyuan was stunned, as if he was hesitating.
Wei Yang said: "Master Chen, you and I have been classmates for many years, I know you very well, you don't really want to be Prime Minister Jiang's puppet." β
"Don't ask, I don't have a list." Chen Yuanyuan got up and was about to leave.
Wei Yang stretched out an arm to block him, "You can't have it." β
"I said no, I don't have it, and besides, even if I have it, you know that I will definitely give it to you?" Chen Yuanyuan took a breath, and his voice was as cold as it was.
"Lord Chen, don't do this. You must know that now the task of filling the new officials in the northwest is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He can completely re-investigate, and when the time comes, there will be a discrepancy with Lord Chen's investigation, I don't know how Lord Chen will explain to the emperor? β
"You-"
"Lord Chen's greatest advantage is not that he knows the times, you should know how to do it. As long as you give it to me as soon as possible, I can promise that for the sake of my former classmates, I will never mention these things again. β
