Chapter 185
In Beijing, on the last day of October, autumn is high and cool. There are still ten days before the wedding of the prince and the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion, Mu Ruoyu. The prince and Mu Ruoyu, who should have happily prepared for the marriage, were frowning at this time. Just because His Majesty has decreed that the wedding of the two of them will be postponed.
The cause of this incident has to start from yesterday.
Yesterday was the birthday of the Duchess of Chengguo, Huo. Because of Mu Ruoyu's identity as the future crown princess, the wives and young ladies of the noble family in the capital all went to the Chengguo Mansion to celebrate her birthday. Even Princess Wuyang, Huangfu Can, who doesn't usually go out, also appeared in the Chengguo Mansion.
Princess Wuyang is the daughter of the first queen, and after the first queen gave birth to her, she went. His Majesty loved her and still raised her under the name of the queen. Therefore, she has a good relationship with the crown prince Huangfu Xuan, who was born to the current queen. Therefore, when she attended the Huo's birthday banquet, everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
The princess is twenty and one this year, and three years ago, she married into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and became the wife of the prince.
There are two sons in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the second son, Han Yanlang, is seventeen years old. Qu Yunshan is sixteen years old, she likes Han Yanlang, and everyone knows this. However, the Marquis of Zhongyong had no intention of marrying the Qu family, and Han Yanlang also bluntly rejected her.
It's a pity that this girl was spoiled by her own queen aunt, and she didn't know how to accept it when she saw it. She was in the Chengguo Mansion and pushed the princess into the pool. By the time the princess was fished out of the pool, she was already in a coma.
As soon as this incident came out, the emperor was furious. The soldier Lang Qu Rui and Chengguo Gong Mu Feng were called into the palace to reprimand. The queen wanted to intercede for her brother and niece, but the emperor reprimanded her.
In the afternoon of the same day, the national teacher hurriedly entered the palace. Those who left the palace with the national teacher also had a holy decree to postpone the marriage.
After receiving the holy decree, Mu Ruoyu stayed awake all night, and her face was really bad at the moment. It's just that even so, it is difficult to hide her beautiful face.
Huo Shi looked at her distressedly, but he was helpless. It is said that there is no joke in the king, and the holy decree has been issued, so what can they do if they know the reason?
"But it's not our fault at all. It was Qu Yunshan who did the wrong thing, why should he punish us? Mu Ruo said with a crying voice.
Huo Shi looked around vigilantly, and when she saw that there was no one around, she was relieved.
"Don't say that in the future. Qu Yunshan is deeply loved by the queen, after you marry into the East Palace, you have a lot of time to deal with her, don't annoy the queen because of this, you know? ”
Mu Ruoyu smiled and said, "Mother, do I still have a chance to marry into the East Palace?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about. Yu'er, Your Majesty just postponed the wedding, and did not exempt you from the status of the crown princess, let's wait. ”
"Mother, isn't the eldest brother very familiar with Xue Heng? Let him ask Xue Heng, okay? Mu Ruoyu took Huo's hand and pleaded in a low voice.
Huo Shi's hand touching Mu Ruoyu's back paused slightly, if Ling Yun interfered, it would inevitably cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied.
"Yu'er, you have to be patient and wait. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely find a way. ”
Mu Ruoyu bit her lip and looked at Huo Shi, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I want to help him." ”
"Silly boy, where does the prince use you to help. You, as long as you wait at home, the prince will definitely think of a way. ”
Mu Ruoyu looked up at the Huo family, and quickly lowered his head.
Huo Shi touched her hair and said, "I'll let people inquire about it and see how Princess Wuyang is doing." ”
"Thank you, mother."
As soon as Huo's front foot left, Mu Ruoyu took the maid to Mu Lingyun's courtyard.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
"Brother, you go to Xue Heng, okay?"
"Is it for yesterday?"
“…… Be. Mu Ruoyu bit her lip and said.
Mu Lingyun sighed and said, "I can't help with this, he left Beijing two days ago to do things for the national teacher, and he hasn't returned to Beijing yet." ”
Mu Ruoyu was suddenly struck by lightning and froze in place, why did this happen?
Seeing Mu Ruo's words like this, Mu Lingyun felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"Bai Yunhao is still in Beijing now, I'll ask him, don't worry."
Hearing this, Mu Ruoyu came back to his senses.
"Thank you, big brother."
Mu Lingyun patted her on the shoulder and said, "You go back to the room and wait, I'll go back when I go." ”
After the two of them left, Huo's maid also came to Mu Lingyun's courtyard. But she only got the news that Mu Lingyun had left the house.
After she returned the news to Huo's family, Huo's chest ached.
"The eldest prince has always done things in a measured manner, don't worry too much." Mama Ma on the side persuaded her.
Huo Shi sighed and said: "Lingyun, I'm not worried, but Yu'er, if this marriage is ruined, what should she do in the future." ”
"Justice is in the hearts of the people, Miss is a blessed person, and she will be fine." Mama Ma continued to comfort her.
Huo Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Justice? Where is there any justice, His Majesty's favorite Princess Wuyang was pushed down the pool in our mansion. There's something going on outside, doesn't Mama know? ”
Although there have been no unpleasant words on the street, the nobles are all spreading that the reason why His Majesty will postpone the wedding between the prince and Mu Ruoyu is because Mu Ruoyu and Princess Wuyang are in conflict.
For a while, Mama Ma didn't know what to say.
The reason why the Huo family didn't allow Mu Ruoyu to go out was because of this.
Some people are sorrowful, and some people rejoice.
Mrs. Yongping Hou Shizi looked at her overjoyed younger brother in front of her and gently pushed him.
"You think of something, so happy. Speaking out makes me happy, too. ”
Huangfu Yi scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, sister." I'm just fooling around. ”
"At this time, Your Majesty and the crown prince are angry, you can take it easy, don't touch their brows."
Huang Fuyi rolled his eyes and asked, "Sister, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unable to marry this year?" ”
"It depends on Your Majesty's intentions."
Huang Fuyi was overjoyed and said, "In this case, can I go out for a walk?" ”
Huangfu Shan raised her eyebrows, and her face showed an expression of sudden realization.
"What? You can't look down on the Yongping Marquis Mansion, you want to leave so soon? ”
Huangfu Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sister, of course not, I just want to go out and have a look." ”
"Hmph, I already know what you've done on the way here. Don't think I won't tell my father or mother about those things. ”
Huang Fu Yi stared at Huang Fu Shan with wide eyes, accusing her of ruthlessness and indifference.
"You stay in the capital, don't mention this matter again." Huang Fushan sorted out her clothes, got up, and said, "I'm going to go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, I'll come back, if you're not there, I'll send the news back immediately." ”
“…… Okay, I got it. Huang Fu Yi said with a bitter face.
When Huang Fushan arrived at the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, he happened to meet Mrs. Qu who had left.
Looking at Huangfu Shan, who was welcomed into the mansion by her subordinates, Mrs. Qu almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
Huang Fushan followed the subordinates to the princess's courtyard, but did not see anyone else.
"Sister Shan is here, please take a seat." Princess Wuyang smiled.
Huang Fushan looked at the pale woman in front of her, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Are you feeling better?" Huang Fushan asked.
"The imperial doctor prescribed a lot of medicines, and I took them all, and the rest depends on the destiny of heaven." Princess Wuyang said lightly.
"It's not a big deal, don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense."
Huang Fushan looked around and asked in a low voice, "I saw the Chen family just now, but she came to see you?" ”
"No, I didn't see her. Now, it should be on the way to the palace. Princess Wuyang sneered: "What kind of mother she has, what kind of daughter she raises, they will only go to the queen to complain all day long." Now the queen herself is difficult to protect, where can she have the strength to take care of them. ”
Hearing this, Huang Fushan's brows couldn't help frowning. She had long felt that yesterday's events were a little unusual, and after hearing her words today, the speculation in her heart became more and more certain.
"How can I help?"
Princess Wuyang covered her mouth and chuckled: "Sister Shan has protected me since I was a child, and now that my sister has grown up, Sister Shan doesn't have to worry, I will protect myself." ”
"I ......"
"I heard that Xiao Yi entered Beijing, so many things happened yesterday, and I didn't have time to meet him." Wuyang said with a nostalgic face: "I think when he left Beijing, he was fleshy and cute." ”
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Huang Fushan followed her wishes, shook her head and said: "The child has grown up, not only is he not as cute as he was when he was a child, but he is also disobedient. Originally, he should have entered Beijing a long time ago. I had already thought about it, and as soon as he entered Beijing, I would bring him to meet you. He shook off the guards and wandered outside alone for a long time. No, I only entered Beijing yesterday. ”
"He's out there alone, but he's hurt?" Wuyang worried.
"No, no. I heard him say that he met a few martial arts masters and did a lot of things with them, and they also protected him. ”
Wuyang patted his chest and said, "That's good, Sister Shan, let's talk about this later, you have to tell me the results first." ”
"Okay, I remember."
Hearing that Huangfu was fine, Wuyang thought about it again.
"I wrote about chivalrous women in the book, is there such a wonderful person among the people Xiao Yi has met?"
"Of course not" Halfway through ......the words, Huang Fushan suddenly remembered that she asked Huang Fuyi about the matter on the road yesterday, and he was stumbling.
"Sister Shan, yes or no?"
Huang Fushan sighed and said, "Before he came, he told me that he wanted to go out." ”
"Looks like he's met someone."
Hearing this, Huang Fushan's expression suddenly became solemn.
The smile on Wuyang's face gradually disappeared, and she said softly: "They have separated, the world is so big, it is difficult to meet her, let her stay in the depths of his memory." ”
Half an hour later, the imperial doctor came to diagnose Wuyang's pulse.
"Then I'll leave first, and when you recover, I'll take Ah Yi to see you."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here."
