Chapter Seventy-Four: Fulfillment
The eldest princess of Yongshou has not seen her eldest daughter for more than ten years, and now that it is easy to see her daughter, she naturally has endless things to say to her.
Princess Mu has not returned to the imperial capital for many years, and although the changes in the pattern of the imperial capital are clear, it is okay to know more about the affairs in the inner courtyards of each family. She thought that if she wanted to leave Mu Tingyu in the imperial capital this time, listening to the eldest princess of Yongshou say something about things between the families would only have advantages and no harm.
"After Changjun's daughter-in-law entered the door, I thought of a way to transfer her father to Beijing." The eldest princess of Yongshou did not ask the eldest son of the household department to help, but found other ways to ask someone to bring Deng Kang from the small county town into the imperial capital, and went to Dali Temple to make the main book of the seven products.
Deng Kang does have some ability, and the people who originally suppressed him didn't dare to do anything anymore when they saw his eldest daughter marrying into the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou in a glorious manner.
In less than two years, Deng Kang has made a triple jump because of the cracking of several major cases, and now he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"It took him less than two years to go from the county to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." The eldest princess of eternal life said. "If it weren't for the fact that he offended Shangfeng in the court back then, and because he insisted on marrying a peasant girl as his wife and broke with the family, he stayed in the position of county prince for so many years. If his temperament is not so stubborn, maybe his official position is still above your two younger brothers. ”
"Mother mentioned in the letter before, the Deng family was still chosen by Changjun himself?" In the family letter sent by the eldest princess of Yongshou, Liu Changjun's marriage was mentioned before, and Princess Mu was not surprised by the Deng family's background. "Changjun is a very discerning child."
The eldest princess of Yongshou and the concubine are rare enlightened parents in Dazhao, and their children's opinions will be consulted on their marriages. At that time, Liu Changjun's father Liu Po and Ouyang also met by chance, and Liu Po fell in love with Ouyang at first sight, and only then did he become the eldest princess of Yongshou.
"Well, that's nature. Although Changjun was reluctant to join the ranks before, he still had some talent. "The eldest princess of eternal life is self-satisfied." Deng is also a good person, not long after she got married, Changjun actually offered to go to the Hanlin Academy to join the company. ”
Liu Changjun's future is here, and the Ouyang clan and the eldest princess of Yongshou treat the Deng clan better.
"Mother, in fact, I came back this time because I have other things I want to entrust to you and my father." Princess Mu tentatively mentioned it to the eldest princess of Yongshou. "Didn't I say before that after I left this time, I would let Brother Yu stay in the imperial capital to spend a few years with you and my father?"
"yes, that couldn't be better." The eldest princess of eternal life nodded and said. "Brother Yu was born in my eldest princess's mansion, and I thought that King Mu's mansion had not been in the imperial capital for a long time anyway. After you leave, Brother Yu will stay in the house and live. ”
"Mother loves Brother Yu." Princess Mu held the hands of the eldest princess of Yongshou and said. "If my mother loves Brother Yu, she might as well ask for a good family for him."
"Well, you've just said that, huh?" The eldest princess of Yongshou sensed that there was something in Princess Mu's words, turned her eyes to stare at Princess Mu's eyes, and asked. "I listen to what you mean now, have you already taken a fancy to a girl from which family? Since you have taken a fancy to it, you will directly tell me about the candidate. I have lived in the imperial capital for decades, and I still have this face. ”
"Mother is really willing to fulfill me?" Princess Mu rolled her eyes, covered her lips and smiled.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you've become more and more verbose." The eldest princess of Yongshou waved her hand impatiently. "If you don't say it, I won't listen."
"Okay, okay, I said it's not enough? After more than ten years of hard work, my mother's temper has become more and more urgent. Princess Mu hurriedly grabbed the hand of the eldest princess of Yongshou and comforted him again and again. Mother, you know the situation of King Mu's mansion. It was two years ago that there were officials in the DPRK and China who handed over excerpts, wanting His Majesty to cut the prince's military power. You can not have military power, but I am afraid that even if Mu Wangfu gives up military power, will those people who are not used to Mu Wangfu stop from here? ”
The eldest princess of Yongshou heard Princess Mu's words, and raised her head and glanced at Ziliu, who was guarding her side.
Ziliu understood, and immediately dispersed all the subordinates in the outer world, and retreated together.
"I know this matter, it is all a good thing done by the group of old ministers under the queen, but fortunately, Your Majesty still trusts your prince." The eldest princess of Yongshou said coldly. "Don't worry, even if you go back in the future, there will be me and your father in the imperial capital, as well as your brother and nephew, and you will never let those individuals succeed."
The current King Mu is not the only son of the previous King Mu, when he was young, he was also sent to the imperial capital by the previous King Mu, obviously to be sent to the palace to study and reason, but in fact, in order to block the mouths of the people in the court, he sent a son-in-law to the imperial capital as a proton.
King Mu and Emperor Chu played in one place, and they had some friendship.
It is also because of this that Princess Mu had to meet King Mu a few times, and thus became acquainted. A few years after King Mu returned to Saibei, he personally re-entered the imperial capital to seek his relatives.
The first emperor personally decreed the marriage, and he married Princess Mu back to the Mu palace in Saibei.
"Mother, but I still want to seek another layer of security for Mu Wangfu, a layer of more long-term luck that can be attached to the bloodline." Princess Mu looked at the eyes of the eldest princess of Yongshou who seemed to have insight into her thoughts, and looked away with some weakness. "I beg my mother to have mercy on her, and for the sake of your daughter and your grandson and granddaughter."
"Who the hell do you have your eye on?" The eldest princess of Yongshou listened to Princess Mu's words, and finally tasted something from her words. "You have a fancy for Xuan'er, don't you?"
"Mother." Princess Mu's gaze wandered, and under the eyes of the eldest princess of Yongshou, she could only nod obediently. "Yes, before I set off, I and the prince have already agreed. It is necessary to leave Brother Yu in the imperial capital and seek the affairs of Princess Shang. ”
"Okay, you have been married far away from home for more than ten years and have not returned, how long have I been looking forward to you, but you are good, as soon as you come back, you will start to plan your niece." The eldest princess of Yongshou said angrily. "Your sister has been in the deep palace for many years, and apart from her two sons, she is only Xuan'er, a pampered girl. Besides, don't be her, it's me, and I won't let Xuan'er marry Saibei. ”
"The concerns of my mother and sister, I and the prince have thought about it." Princess Mu naturally knew how much the eldest princess of Yongshou valued Xiao Xuan, her granddaughter, and when she saw that the eldest princess of Yongshou was angry, she knelt down in front of her with a thud, and cried. "Brother Yu is not the eldest son, and it is enough for the Saibei Mu Mansion to have his two elder brothers to support him in the future. If Your Majesty is gracious, you are willing to marry the princess to the Mu Palace, and we are also willing to let Brother Yu settle in the imperial capital. Xuan'er doesn't have to marry Saibei far away, she will still stay in the imperial capital. ”
"Hey~" Seeing the eldest daughter kneeling in front of her and crying, the eldest princess of Yongshou, whose palms and backs were full of meat, had a hard time making a choice for a while, and only let out a long sigh.
"Mother, don't worry. It's true that our Mu Wangfu has the intention to marry Xuan'er, but it won't take into account the feelings of the children in vain, so I will think about leaving Brother Yu'er in the imperial capital. Princess Mu noticed the change in the eldest princess of Yongshou, and immediately stroked the knees of the eldest princess of Yongshou and said hard. The two children are cousins, can't Xuan'er often go out of the palace? Maybe in a few years, the two children will be able to have a friendship on their own, wouldn't that be better? I don't ask my mother to come forward to fight for this marriage, I just ask my mother to create some opportunities for Brother Yu and Xuan'er to meet. ”
The eldest princess of Yongshou did not answer Princess Mu's words, but her heart was full of thoughts.
Xiao Xuan is His Majesty's favorite daughter, and she was given the title of Princess Zhaoyue before she made a marriage contract. Now in the eyes of those high-ranking families with unmarried children of appropriate age, Xiao Xuan is simply a piece of fragrant bait.
His grandson Mu Tingyu is the best in terms of appearance and background, and he is definitely qualified to be a horse.
Kissing and kissing is originally the best choice.
"Okay, I'll let you do that." The eldest princess of Yongshou closed her eyes and pondered for a long time before she slowly opened her eyes and stared at Princess Mu's eyes and said. "I give the two children the opportunity to get in touch, if the two children can be happy with each other, it is the best, so that the marriage can go on for a long time. But if the two children have another sweetheart, I won't force them to come together. ”
"Thank you mother for making it happen, that's enough." Princess Mu listened to the words of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and the burden on her heart was relieved a lot.
After the eldest princess of Yongshou left, it took a while for Mu Tingyu to walk from the courtyard to Princess Mu's apartment.
Princess Mu had already removed all the pearls and emeralds on her head, cleaned her face, changed into a plain robe, and sat on the soft collapse near the window.
"Our mother and son have something to say, you should step back first." Princess Mu saw Mu Tingyu standing at the door, and asked the maids in the room to retreat.
"Mother, I saw that my grandmother had just left." Mu Tingyu looked at the faint smile on the corner of Princess Mu's mouth and said. "What did you and your grandmother say just now, and you kicked out all the people who were waiting in the house."
"Naturally, I beg your grandmother to create more opportunities for you and Xuan'er to meet."
"But my cousin is a princess, and she can't leave the palace as a rule. I am a foreign man, and I am over fifteen years old, and I can't enter the inner palace where the concubines live without His Majesty's will. Mu Tingyu asked suspiciously. Mother, how can you make your grandmother create opportunities? ”
"You can't enter the palace easily, but as far as I know, it is easy for Xuan'er to get out of the palace." Princess Mu said with a smug smile. "As I said earlier, her favor is inferior to even the eldest son of the emperor, who is most valued by Emperor Chu. His Majesty allowed her to leave the palace three times a month, so that she could spend the night outside, and also specially dispatched a team of pennant guards to protect her. There are also two female flag guards by her side, who serve as palace maids all year round. ”
