Chapter 239
In the early morning lane, there are dazzling and dazzling streamers, dazzling and outstanding young sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with considerable appearance, jade and silver crowns and hair, and delicate tassels hanging black sideburns. The dark silver brocade robe, slim and fitted, tied out his long and fitting waist, and draped in a silver-white moire cloak, deep and a little low domineering.
The eighth prince waited outside the door early, and he didn't plan to go in, there were very few people in this world who could let him wait, so the people who came from the palace would be surprised, and his attitude towards Mu Zhixi was a few steps higher.
Feng'er came to pick up Mu Zhixi into the palace early in the morning, which made Mu Ningyuan nervous, her sister's temperament, she didn't like these mutual banquets that were ushered in, and she really married into the palace, these couldn't be avoided, I was really worried that my sister would lose her temper for a while, and miss this good marriage.
Mu Zhixi was dressed very plainly, but it made the eighth master's eyes clear, seeing his scene, Mu Zhixi blushed unconsciously, after all, he should always be ashamed to be asked to marry by a man with such a noble status.
Feng'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but was taken by the eighth master, and grabbed her arm, the strength was just right, Mu Zhixi's cheeks became more and more feverish, this is not in order, I want to remind her, the eighth master's gentle words sounded: "Slow down, the carriage in the palace is slightly higher, you have to learn to get used to it." ”
This is clearly to warn the people around him, Mu Zhixi is just going through the motions today, and the identity of the imperial concubine has been decided, let them take care of it carefully.
Liu Shu came back last night, she couldn't keep her soul, she grew up in the palace, but she never reached out to harm others, and now, the prince made an exchange with her, which made her feel a little palpitating.
The queen was laughing and chatting with Qing'er, and the emperor summoned King Jin to the imperial study, and the peach blossoms in the south were getting closer and closer, and everything had to be settled.
In the imperial study, the courtiers all bowed their heads and surrendered, and the emperor asked Prime Minister Liu Cheng how much money the treasury could come up with, and he was so frightened that he couldn't afford to kneel.
"I know that this year's salt tax has not been paid in full, but at least forty percent of the profit is not enough."
The official Shangshu hurriedly replied: "The silver taels of the treasury are enough to support the loss of this peach blossom flood, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng dares to be angry and dare not speak, because last year, the prince used a large number of silver taels to build a dam in the south in order to resist the peach blossom flood over the years. ”
"Someone, go and invite the prince."
Since the last accident, the prince has not appeared in front of anyone. Prime Minister Liu Cheng has also been very troubled recently, and King Li took the third aunt and Siqi away, which is insignificant to him.
Siyun is a sister-in-law, and returning home safely can not only allow the Liu family's incense to multiply. Mrs. Liu re-presided over the feed, and the family was much more stable, thinking that it would be good to be peaceful forever.
After the matter of King Li's struggle for the crown prince, Liu Cheng judged the situation on the contrary and wanted to be a low-key person. It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Siyun doesn't know when she has already had dealings with the unpopular, yesterday, the prince asked people to spread the word to Siyun to find a way to marry Mu Zhixi as his wife, and there will be arrangements today.
Siyun knew that the prince's general trend was gone, and he had no choice but to be controlled by the prince, so he had to tell Prime Minister Liu Cheng and the plate, which made him have no master, and he didn't listen to what the emperor said just now.
Hearing that the prince was coming, Prime Minister Liu Cheng hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched. King Jin calmly looked at the folds on the bookcase, and the emperor did not have the slightest intention of blocking and reprimanding, which really shocked Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and he suddenly understood what choice Siyun should make today.
The prince stood by the window, the warm spring sun shining on his handsome face carved in white jade, holding the armrest of a wheelchair and gently grinding it. Bathed in the warm sunshine, he couldn't feel it, as if he was in the biting cold wind of the nine cold days, constantly looking for the shadow of the sun.
After Leng Yan finished the dictation of the imperial study, the prince mechanically turned his wheelchair and went outside, and Leng Yan Shaoqing followed.
The imperial study was the same as before, but it gave him a completely different mentality. The prince who was full of spirit at the beginning is now just a patient who is full of grievances and urgently needs catharsis.
King Jin Xin's long and sturdy body, graceful and free, wise and alert appearance, really stinged his eyes, maybe King Jin also looked at him like this before, feng shui turns, and now, his crippled brother has become a new favorite.
"You're back."
King Jin nodded, but did not make a sound, signaling that the emperor was waiting for him. The prince's mentality at the moment is very complicated, this father has not been close to him since he was a child, and even estranged, these years, he has slowly swallowed his own suffering, he thought, one day, he can stand in front of his father, and ask with confidence, why did he do this.
Time flickered, and he couldn't go back: "Father, the emperor can't salute his sons." ”
The emperor reluctantly asked, and then asked about the reason for the construction of the embankment in the south last year. The official secretary turned over last year's accounts, and after a pen of inquiry, a slight cold sweat broke out in the prince's palm.
It takes a lot of silver taels to support the underdog, and he has to find some silver from scratch every few years to make up for the shortfall. The cold is different from the Dawn Tower, which most of the time relies on collecting intelligence, buying and selling information to obtain profits, and also supports a large part of the war king's expenses. 315 Chinese Network
The unpopular is different, it only belongs to his command, and all expenses are provided by him, which invisibly increases his burden.
Last year, most of the silver taels for building the dam were embezzled by him, and the remaining small part of the silver taels of materials to buy, it can be imagined what kind of tofu slag project should be, not to mention it, at this time, it is undoubtedly worse for him.
The prince's face instantly turned pale, the emperor wanted to denounce him, his heart was as cold as a cold pool, the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme may just want to find a suitable reason to pull him down from the position of the prince.
"There is no need to go on, what the father wants to do, just give an order, and the sons and ministers should do it." He shifted his wheelchair and walked the way he had come.
Mu Zhixi arrived at Fengqi Palace, just in time, she behaved dignifiedly, talked elegantly, and was steady and decent everywhere, and the queen was satisfied in her heart.
The eighth master kept left and right, protecting him hard, the queen couldn't cry or laugh, and those who didn't know thought that she was a bad mother-in-law.
Qing'er gave an agate bracelet to Mu Zhixi as a meeting gift, and the queen mother rewarded her with jade Ruyi, and she couldn't cross it. The eighth master was amazed, and fiddled with Mu Zhixi in front of him, "This agate bracelet was originally presented by a small country that went to sea in the east, and the queen mother gave it to the fourth brother partially, but my eyes are very hot, I don't want to, after all these years, I have come back to our hands in a circle, and it can be regarded as fate." ”
Mu Zhixi was very unaccustomed to the eighth master's enthusiasm, so that outsiders could see that they were obviously privately teaching and accepting, so they were summoned by the queen.
Lao Ba can't wait to let everyone in the world know that Mu Zhixi is the daughter-in-law he identifies, and no one wants to insert a lever in it.
The prince stood outside the palace gate, on the secluded tree-lined path, waiting quietly, and coldly informed him of Prime Minister Liu Cheng's actions.
Liu Siyun kicked in the door, but the water did not dry, in his expectation, after all, the eighth prince leaned on the king of Jin, that is one of the candidates for the storage position, he is now the tiger in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, everyone can treat him as if he does not exist.
The unpopular people have been ambushed all around, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Leng Yan stared vigilantly at the changes around him: "The crown prince, the eighth prince is with him, and the twelve secret guards who follow the king of Jin, the minions have fought each other, saying that they are modest with one enemy and one hundred, and there are only a few hundred people in the unpopular family, all of them have arrived here, this vicious battle is outside the palace gate, if the royal forest army is alarmed, the cold will be completely destroyed." ”
How can the emperor tolerate the slightest injury to King Jin, even the current market of Lao Ba is many times better than that of him, a wasted person, he beat his legs fiercely, who made him to such a point, for so long, he couldn't find out after all.
The sun is shining slightly, and the noonday sun, although it is spring, is also hot. The prince stayed in the shade of the trees, and was much better.
The eighth master escorted Mu Zhixi out of the palace, her face turned red, she came out of Fengqi Palace, she was still in a trance, the queen was kind and mellow, I don't know how many times better than the grandmother of the Mu family, it was the eighth prince, Mu Zhixi had no bottom in his heart, in this world, three wives and four concubines are common, and the palace is no exception, most ministers are willing to send their daughters in.
Can the eighth prince always protect her, the newlywed is sweet, and having a child is the guarantee, this is the woman's life, and at this point, Mu Zhixi has no way to retreat.
The king of Jin and his wife also left the palace together, and the queen wanted to leave them for lunch, but the emperor sent an edict to let the queen go to the Qianqing Palace for dinner.
The two teams went out of the palace all the way, Qing'er and Mu Zhixi sat in the carriage and talked eloquently, without any restraint, Mu Zhixi asked about Jin'er's recent situation, worried that going to Murong Mansion as a guest would affect Jin'er's embroidery dowry, so he didn't dare to send a worship post.
Qing'er gushed a lot of interesting stories about Jin'er and the third son, some Mu Zhixi knew, and some happened later, King Jin heard about it, and when the buffer to adjust the atmosphere after tea and dinner was told to Qing'er.
Even if you don't leave home, you can know a lot of things. Mu Zhixi is envious of Jin'er, a happy marriage is what a woman prays for, but she may not be able to get her wish.
The eighth master and the king of Jin looked at each other tacitly, and then chatted calmly, Dark One and Dark Two drove in person, and even the rest of the secret guards were tightly guarded around the carriage.
The personal guards who followed the Eighth Prince to fight on the battlefield were all on the periphery, and everyone was waiting for them, as if they had expected that someone would intercept them again.
Unpopular people came from all directions, blocking them on the road they had to pass after leaving the palace.
The eighth master was naughty, separated by these masked people, and shouted into the depths of the alley: "Here, I don't even dare to show my face, it really doesn't look like the style of the prince. ”
Hulalala, the Imperial Forest Army, who was still guarding the palace gate just now, has quietly surrounded me and included all the unpopular people in their pockets.
