It was given to him by his mother during the coming-of-age ceremony, saying that he should take it with him, and if he met a girl he liked, he would give this comb to the other party to show his love.

But my brother still looked like he was refusing, why did he suddenly do this.

Munar on the side was not curious, but he was a little relieved, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly, "Yun'er did the right thing." ”

Mu Yunyan was a little puzzled, "Father, shouldn't we break off the relationship with the Shangguan family, why did my father not only agree to marry and marry the Shangguan family, but also agree with my brother to please that Shangguan Ruyi." ”

Mu Yun also seemed to be a little puzzled by his father's consent to the marriage, and looked at Munar, waiting for an answer.

"Getting married to the Shangguan family does not mean that we have to be friendly with the Shangguan family, on the contrary, Shangguan Ruyi will become a bargaining chip in our hands, so as to use it to blackmail the Shangguan family for our use.

Liu Xiang said that the relationship between the Shangguan family is intertwined, and it is not so easy to bring them down, and you have to think about it in the long run. ”

Then he turned to Mu Yun and instructed him earnestly, "Although Shangguan Ruyi is married to you, you have to be spoiled and loved, and you have to guard against it." At all times, you have to remember in your heart that she is always another family, you have to stay sober, and don't be used by others. ”

Mu Yun nodded in response, "The child remembers his father's teachings. ”

Munar continued, "Besides, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us to be able to get involved with the Shangguan family this time.

With the relationship between the Shangguan family, when we return to the Western Regions, the position of the leader of our Mu family can also be more steady. ”

Inside the Imperial Study

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair, and Liu Xiang stood in the center of the hall, his hands folded in front of him, and said with a solemn face, "Your Majesty, the minister overheard Miss Mu mention the matter of meeting my fifth-order guards at the post station, and the minister felt that this matter was very strange, so he conducted an investigation. According to the investigation, the fifth-order guard with the chrysanthemum pattern that Miss Mu said was ......"

thought that he had obtained the fatal handle of the Shangguan family and could become a fatal trump card to bring down the other party, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the emperor.

"Liu Xiang, let's put this matter on hold for the time being."

Although Liu Xiang was a little surprised, he also understood that the emperor's mind did not dare to speculate, so he had to stop his voice and wait there with his head slightly bowed, waiting for further instructions from the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Liu Xiang, who was still an acquaintance, and did not continue to talk about it, nor did he catch this matter and not let go, so he opened his mouth and continued, "Our peace with the Western Regions is imminent, and Liu Xiang has dealt with the people of the Western Regions many times, so he is the best person to supervise this matter." In recent days, I have to worry about Lao Liuxiang, and as for other things, I will put them aside for the time being, and I will talk about them later. ”

The emperor has said it so obviously, how could Liu Qingyun not understand, he was unwilling but had no choice but to give up, and replied with both hands, "The ministers should do their best to supervise this matter, and be sure to let the Western Regions experience the sincerity of the emperor and the sincerity of our Xia An Dynasty." ”

"Alright, let's go down first, I'm a little tired." The emperor picked up the teacup in front of him, waved his big hand, and Liu Qingyun withdrew from the imperial study with a lonely face.

Liu Qingyun just retreated from the imperial study with his front foot, and Lin Er walked out from behind the screen behind the emperor with his slender legs, walked to the emperor, and said, "Brother Huang, my brother doesn't understand, why don't you borrow Liu Xiang's hand and file the sharp spirit of the official family?" ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled lightly.

"I ask you, if there is only one line of Liu Xiang or only one line of Shangguan in the court, is it good or bad?"

Lin Er pondered for a moment, and then understood the emperor's intentions, what he wanted was never absolute fairness, or justice, what he wanted was only the balance in the court, only when the forces of all parties were balanced in the open and secret struggle, the emperor's throne was the most stable.

Shi Li replied, "It is the best to be here, only when the two families compete, the emperor's country will be stable." ”

"Since this is the case, since the salt lord has been cut down by you, there are only some remnants left, so there is no need to kill them all and let Liu Xiang dominate. Keeping them is also a threat to Liu Xiang. ”

"Brother Chen understands, but Brother Chen is a little worried."

"Worried that the Shangguan family is wooing the Mu family?" Lin Shi instantly understood Lin Er's concerns, and asked bluntly.

Lin Yi nodded and responded.

The emperor smiled lightly again and said, "No matter what, it is impossible for the Mu family to really unite with the Shangguan family. ”

"Why?" Lin Er was a little puzzled, in this world, how can there be any eternal friends, eternal enemies, and in the end, what they pursue is just the supremacy of interests, and how can they never get together.

If the interests are the same, the great enemy can also be an alliance, and the alliance between the Mu family and Liu Xiang is not so indestructible, and it is reasonable for the Mu family to connect with the Shangguan family.

It depends on whether the benefits given by the Liu family are greater or the bait given by the Shangguan family is more tempting.

But looking at the emperor's expression, he seems to be very relieved about the Mu family and the Shangguan family, is there something hidden in this that he doesn't know?

The emperor just smiled and took a sip of tea, not in a hurry to explain, and said to Lin Yi after a long time, "What do you think of Miss Mu?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned, the topic changed a little stiffly, why did you suddenly mention Miss Mu again, could it be that this Miss Mu is the key to the impossible alliance between the Shangguan family and the Mu family?

"Brother Huang means that Miss Mu is the crux of the Mu family and the Shangguan family?"

Lin Shi smiled, "Hahaha, I just suddenly thought that Miss Mu seems to be a good candidate for the princess, if you think it's not bad, I will take this opportunity to marry together." ”

Lin Er's body froze there, swallowed his saliva, and Shi Li refused, "The younger brother is still young, and I don't want to think about marrying a wife for the time being, Miss Mu is talented, dignified and virtuous, and it is too bad to give it to the younger brother." ”

It's so bad......

Lin Er, you are really a cow when you blacken yourself. (Old Mother and Old Tears)

"The prince is also a well-known talent in my Xia'an Dynasty, and his martial arts are good, how can he be ruined. Could it be that the fourth brother already has a favorite person in his heart? The emperor's face sank, and there were too many doubts in his heart.

"No, my brother doesn't have a favorite." Lin Er decisively denied it.

"Then why do you dodge every time you mention marriage, Princess Qingqiu was the same last time, and so was Miss Mu this time, what do you think in your heart, is it possible to be lonely and grow old? Do you sincerely want the queen mother to break her heart for you? ”

The emperor was a little angry as he spoke, the last time Ruan Qingqiu came, he intended to match, not only to solve the marriage of Lin Er, who had been worried about the queen mother, but also to win over Lanlingguo.

This unbridled prince is good, rotten wood cannot be carved, and in the end, it became a matchmaker between Ruan Qingqiu and Ye Zhizhang, although it is nothing to do, but it is always better to maximize the benefits of marrying the royal family.
