Chapter 65: The Emperor Gives Marriage Again
Mu Yu stiffened the smile on his face, only feeling uncomfortable. "There is a difference between men and women, and the king of the county should not make such a joke about me."
Xie Chongning coughed lightly, "What do you want to eat, I'll help you clip it?" ”
Well? Why did Xie Chongning suddenly call her so intimate? She raised her eyes to meet Xie Chongning's deep gaze, and understood that he was relieving himself.
Mu Yu hurriedly took over the conversation, "I'm already full, but I think this shortbread is very delicious, Lord Xie might as well try it." ”
Qin Xu smiled playfully, raised his eyebrows, but he was not pulling Mu Yu to talk to him.
Not to mention that she was full of this meal, she didn't even dare to pick up the chopsticks, as long as she looked at the meat in the bowl, she couldn't forget the way Qin Xu sandwiched the meat for herself, no, she had to distance herself from Qin Xu.
The banquet was over, and Mu Yu and Mu Heyun got into the carriage together, but after arriving in the mansion, Mu Heyun stopped her, "Yu'er, you come to my study, I have something to say to you." ”
Mu Yu stepped on broken steps and followed behind Mu Heyun, the dim candle flame in the study had already been lit, and the beating candle flame made her panic in her heart.
"Yu'er, you've grown up too, what do you want to do, I don't want to stop you." Mu Heyun groaned for a while, and looked at Mu Yu gently and kindly, "You can participate in the banquet of the county king today because your name is written on the invitation card given to me by the county king. ”
"Father, I ......" Mu Yu pursed his lips, wanting to explain.
Mu Heyun interrupted her words, with a hint of seriousness on his face, "It's just that now that the cabinet of the DPRK and China is in charge, and the emperor has no heirs, the royal family is already in danger, I don't want you to have anything to do with the royal family." ”
Mu Yu knew that Mu Heyun had always been neutral in the court, and he didn't follow the emperor, but he didn't want to get too close to the cabinet, "What Daddy means, I understand." I don't have any feelings for the county king. ”
"You girl has been a ghost since she was a child, and I, as a father, just want to protect you all your life." Mu Heyun's rough big hand nodded her forehead, but she frowned, "The emperor intends to marry the county king, but the county king invited a girl like you who does not match your status at this banquet, and this matter will enter the emperor's ears sooner or later." ”
The emperor had long intended to marry the king of the county, but the king of the county had not said who he would, although the emperor did not urge, it did not mean that the emperor did not know. Every move on the county king's side is under the control of the emperor, and the emperor must know about the sudden appearance of Mu Yu.
That Qin Xu is a fun-loving person, she mistakenly thought that there should be some women invited by Qin Xu to watch the banquet, but who would have thought that she was the only one.
Mu Yu thought about this, and also understood what Mu Heyun was worried about. Now things are no longer up to her, as long as Qin Xu relaxes, maybe the emperor will give marriage, which is completely a force majeure factor.
"If it really enters the emperor's ears, then wouldn't I ......" She sat weakly at the table, her face dejected. There are too many twists and turns in this ancient officialdom, and there are too many rings that need to be paid attention to, so she blames her for thinking too inconsiderately.
Mu Heyun's words just wanted Mu Yu to pay attention to his words and deeds, who would have thought that his daughter would be frightened by his own words, "You girl, now you are afraid when you know it!" It's okay, it's okay. ”
He walked up to Mu Yu, patted his daughter's head with his broad palm, and continued to comfort, "Don't worry, the emperor intends to handle the marriage of the county king for him, the girl who can marry the county king must have an identity that can turn the political situation around, you just want to marry the county king, and the emperor should also consider it." ”
"Father?" Mu Yu frowned, and slowly raised his head in confusion, "Father, are you kidding me!" ”
's father knew that the emperor would not take a fancy to his life experience, and deliberately guided himself to think that maybe he would marry her and the king of Anping County, so that he was worried!
"If I don't tease you, you girl will always take our words to heart!" Mu Heyun snorted coldly, insisting on his last pride as a father, "You, I say you are smart, but sometimes you are simply ridiculous, if you say that you are not smart, but I see that you have not done anything stupid." ”
Mu Yu is a modern person, at most she has experienced intrigue in the workplace, it is all petty fights, how can it be compared with the ancient officialdom, these are all things that will lose your head if you are not careful.
However, Mu Heyun's conversation with her today really gave her a deep understanding, she thought she was smart, at most
can deceive people in the Luanping Marquis Mansion, if you really get the eyes of the emperor and the king, it will really be an axe.
"What my father said today, I will definitely take to heart." Mu Yu changed his past, and his face became solemn.
Mu Heyun saw that his daughter had learned a lesson, so he comforted her a few more words of comfort, and then let her go.
In the end, Mu Yu is also very innocent, and she didn't take the initiative to provoke Qin Xu, but it was Qin Xu himself who provoked her, but what could she do? As my father said, they have no power after all, and if they want to be alone, they can only hide far away.
Mu Liangxuan made a mistake, but an old lady helped him hide it, and soon he became presumptuous again, and this time he united with his group of fox friends and dogs to make a living.
Mu Yu didn't know what he was doing, he just dragged a group of so-called friends every day and spent all day drinking in the gazebo in the courtyard, and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so Mu Heyun just didn't like it anymore and didn't say anything.
The weather gradually entered the summer, the noon room was unbearably hot, Mu Yu really couldn't stay, saw that there was no one in the pavilion, so he sat in the pavilion and blew a cool breeze for a while.
Usually at this time, Mu Liangxuan had already pulled his friend to play in the pavilion, but he didn't show up until now, so he probably won't come, Mu Liang thought so, so he sat down with peace of mind.
I don't know when a rattan couch was prepared in the pavilion, it should have been specially prepared by the subordinates, Mu Yu put one hand on the table, squinted and pretended to sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a lot of noise in his ears, but it was Mu Liangxuan who pulled his three friends to the pavilion again, Mu Yu immediately stood up when he saw this, and was about to walk out of the pavilion after tidying up his clothes.
But Mu Liangxuan took the first step in front of her, "Why did you run away when you saw me?" Just sit here and chat with us. ”
His tone was very improper, and his eyes were glued to Mu Yu's body, which was very obscene.
Mu Yu frowned, turned sideways to avoid Mu Liangxuan's black hand stretched out to him, "Get out." ”
"How can you talk as a young lady of the Hou Mansion?" When Mu Liangxuan heard this, he was even more thousands of people who wanted to hold Mu Yu's hand.
The disgusting Mu Yu took two steps back, but he didn't want to bump into Mu Liangxuan's friend, the man was a thief, and he knew that it was not a good thing at first glance, so he deliberately posted it ambiguously, "Miss Mu, don't be in such a hurry, we have long heard Liangxuan say that you are beautiful and incomprehensible, you might as well sit down and drink tea and chat with us." ”
Mu Yu raised his arm, pushed away the man who was approaching, and said with disgust and hatred, "Get out of the way, stay away from me." ”
Several people glanced at each other, and they didn't take Mu Yu's words to heart at all, but raised their heads and laughed, "Haha! Miss Mu is really stingy, but she just accompanies our brothers to drink and chat, why do you excuse yourself in every possible way, it's too rude,"
"Miss Mu knows whether she knows the etiquette or not, so I don't need you to evaluate it." I don't know when the tall shadow that appeared waved his long arm and protected Mu Yu in his arms, and the meaning of protection was very obvious.
Listening to the familiar and magnetic voice in his ears, Mu Yu looked up in astonishment, but saw the man's resolute chin.
"Thank you...... Xie Chongning? Mu Liangxuan's eyes widened, and he pointed at Xie Chongning, who had ruined his good deeds, in surprise and anger, "Why are you here, how did you get in?" ”
"Xie Chongning?" Mu Liangxuan's friends have been in the rivers and lakes all year round, but they are all human spirits, and when they heard Xie Chongning's name, they had a lot of rules, withdrew the blasphemy on their faces, and asked respectfully, "But Lord Xie of Dali Temple." ”
Xie Chongning glanced at Mu Liangxuan coldly, ignoring the other people's questions, and then lowered his head and asked patiently, "What did they do to you?" ”
Mu Yu pursed his lips, "No, I didn't do anything." ”
"Xie Chongning, who gave you the courage to let you break into our Luanping Marquis Mansion at will?" Although Mu Liangxuan was afraid of Xie Chongning, he could forgive Xie Chongning in the mansion for what he was capable of, and he couldn't do anything to him.
Xie Chongning glanced at Mu Liangxuan coldly, and grabbed Mu Yu's wrist tightly, "Follow me to the main hall." ”
"The main hall?" Xie Chongning, who came out of nowhere, suddenly appeared and helped him out of the siege, Mu Yu was still in a trance, and he followed Xie Chongning to the main hall without much thought.
Mu Liangxuan didn't know what kind of medicine Xie Chongning was selling in this gourd, so he naturally followed.
When Mu Yu walked to the main hall, he found that the old lady, Mu Heyun, Shen Mei, and even the people in the third room had all arrived, and there was an inner servant standing in front of him.
"Miss Mu, you can be regarded as here." The chamberlain spoke, and his shrill voice was like the "emperor arrived" heard in the Anping County Palace that day, obviously a eunuch.
"This is the Ouchi manager." Xie Chongning patiently introduced Mu Yu.
Although Mu Yu was puzzled, his body walked and saluted first.
The chief manager immediately stepped forward to support Mu Yu, "Miss Mu, please hurry up, our family has brought good news to the Hou Mansion today, and I ask you to accept the order." ”
Mu Yu didn't calm down, he knelt on the ground again, and he didn't notice that everyone behind him was sad, and none of them were happy.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said, the daughter of Luan Pinghou Mu Yu is virtuous and virtuous, intelligent, and specially married to Xie Chongning, the secretary of Dali Temple, and admires this." In just one sentence, Mu Yu knelt on the ground and lowered his head and did not move for a long time.
The emperor did give her a marriage, but he gave her to Xie Chongning? Which one is the emperor singing?
"Miss Mu? Miss Mu? The chief manager of Ouchi shouted twice before waking up Mu Yu, "Miss Mu, take the order." ”
Mu Yumu thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." "I took the holy decree under the head of Ouchi in a daze.
The eunuch completed the task and happily said two auspicious words, "Our family will congratulate Lord Xie and Miss Mu, and wish the two of them a happy marriage forever and a hundred years of happiness." ”
Although Xie Chongning is cold and unkind, he also understands human feelings, and the general manager of Ouchi said auspicious words, Xie Chongning took out the red envelope to be prepared on his waist and sent it to the general manager of Ouchi, "Thank you for the blessing of the chief manager, a small thank you gift is not a tribute." ”
The manager is also a cunning man, took the red envelope and put it on his chest, and left with a smile.
