In the Yiyong Marquis Mansion, Qu Muge and Mrs. Gu did not worry about the people of the Huo family for too long.

After Gu Nanye went to Siqi Courtyard to meet guests, the two of them discussed the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mrs. Gu said: "I thought of taking you to the mansion for the festival, but when you went back to the palace, I was afraid that you would attend the palace banquet." ”

The family banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a more important banquet, people from the royal family and the clan will be present, if Qu Muge lives outside the palace, he can still find an excuse not to go, if he is in the palace, he must participate.

Qu Muge also said regretfully: "I also think that you have entered Beijing, and I want to accompany you for the holiday, but fortunately, Master Hou doesn't have to be on duty that day, and he can accompany you at home." Last year's New Year, Hou Ye failed to fulfill his filial piety in front of you, and this time I can make up for it. ”

The two talked homely, and Mrs. Gu asked Xin's mother to prepare the ingredients and make pastries for the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.

"When it's done, take some back to the palace to eat, it's the taste of Jinling, and there is no one in the palace."

Qu Muge followed Mrs. Gu to learn to make dim sum, and after a busy afternoon, she unceremoniously wrapped four large boxes and took them away.

After having dinner with Mrs. Gu in the Hou Mansion, Huanhuan also cleaned up.

Gu Nanye heard that Taixuan was leaving, so he put down what he was doing and came out to see him off.

Ge Zheng, the official who was talking about affairs in the Hou Mansion, also came out to greet him.

Qu Muge and Ge Zheng didn't see each other much, and they barely spoke directly, they only felt that they were a serious and low-key uncle who was deeply trusted by Gu Nanye.

This time, after Ge Zheng greeted Qu Muge, he said in a rare way: "I heard that the princess has quite an opinion on the strategy of governing the country, and the minister has a note in his hand, I wonder if I can ask the princess to review and guide?" ”

"Me?" Qu Muge was startled and asked her to review the recital?

Is she still a child?

She looked at Gu Nanye in horror, but saw Gu Nanye nodding encouragingly.

Well, Qu Muge knew, and blamed her for telling Gu Nanye too much about what she had seen, Gu Nanye must have told Ge Zheng and said that it was her own opinion.

Qu Muge was embarrassed: "It's okay to take a look, but I don't understand the government, and when the time comes, I will comment indiscriminately, Master Ge must not laugh." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Qu Muge personally took the song from Ge Zheng's hand, carefully put it away, and brought it back to the palace.

After sending Qu Muge away, Ge Zheng shook his head and said to Gu Nanye: "Master Hou, let the princess interfere in politics, this approach is really too bold, I am afraid that the road ahead is difficult, and it is more difficult than changing the law." ”

Gu Nanye smiled indifferently and said, "How do you know if you don't try?" Besides, there is no one to count on. ”

After Qu Muge returned to the palace overnight, he was soon known by Emperor Yong.

It is not uncommon for Princess Taixuan to return to the palace, but she rarely goes back to the palace for the night.

Emperor Yong asked Mo Xin: "What's going on?" The princess is angry in the Bai family? ”

Mo Xin replied: "According to the people around the princess, it is because the Bai family has a foreign guest, and it is inconvenient to live. ”

In a big mansion like the Bai family, even if there are guests coming, the courtyards are also very separated, not to mention Taixuan's identity here, it can't be that the guests have squeezed her territory, it can only be that she doesn't like the guests and deliberately avoids them.

"What guest?" Emperor Yong asked.

Mo Xin said: "It's Princess Yan's sons and daughters who have entered Beijing." ”

Emperor Yong was originally drinking tea, but after listening, he thoughtfully put down the tea cup in his hand, and his expression gradually became unhappy.

He thought for a while and said, "Go to the Body Yuan Palace." ”

In the Tiyuan Palace, the palace maids were busy cleaning up the house and beds, and suddenly heard that the emperor was coming, and everyone hurriedly put down their work to greet them.

Qu Muge saw that the house was not in shape, and apologized to Emperor Yong: "Hurry back to the palace, the sons are still in chaos here, don't blame the father." ”

Emperor Yongdi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I haven't seen you for a while, so I came to see you." ”

"Yes, Father Xie cares." Qu Muge asked people to take away the sundries on the table, put out the snacks made by Mrs. Gu, and made tea to entertain Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yongdi saw the butterfly golden silk cake on the plate, he was a little distracted, picked it up and tasted it, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Qu Muge didn't know why Emperor Yong was unpredictable, so he had to say: "This is a snack in Jinling, and I don't know if my father is used to eating it or not." ”

Emperor Yong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm used to eating, I haven't eaten for many years." ”

He glanced at Mo Xin at the door, and Aunt Mo Xin took all the palace maids in the Tiyuan Hall out very understandingly.

When Qu Muge saw this battle, he knew that Emperor Yongdi was not looking for him to chat, but that there was something.

"I heard that the prince of Yanbei has come to the Bai family as a guest."

Qu Muge nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't hear the news before, but I suddenly came here today." ”

Emperor Yong asked, "Have you seen anyone?" What do you think of that child? ”

Qu Muge was full of doubts in his heart, what do you think? What does Yongdi mean by this?

"Father?" Qu Muge was puzzled and said, "My daughter doesn't understand what her father meant. ”

Emperor Yongdi felt a little helpless, but still said: "The Queen Mother said before that she would pick a horse for you, and the prince of Yanbei entered Beijing, knowing that you live in the Bai family, but they did not shy away from borrowing the Bai family, their intentions could not be more obvious." I thought about it, if the prince of Yanbei has a good character, it is not a good person. ”

Qu Muge stood up in surprise and said, "Father, you know the intentions of your sons and Gu Hou, for the sake of the government, although we promised you not to propose marriage, how can you persuade your sons to marry others?" If Gu Hou knew, wouldn't it chill his heart? ”

Emperor Yong patiently persuaded: "The Huo family has an army of 500,000 and has been entrenched in the northeast for a hundred years. Now is the time for the implementation of the New Deal, and if the New Deal is to go well, there must be no civil strife. The Huo family needs a reassuring pill, and so do I, Gu Hou will understand. ”

Qu Muge understood, just like Heqin, he wanted to sacrifice her to stabilize Yanbei.

Qu Muge's heart was cold for most of the time, she still overestimated Emperor Yongdi's love for her, she thought that Emperor Yongdi would help her delay the marriage for a few years, but she never expected him to come to her to talk about it.

"The sons are unwilling, not only the sons are unwilling, but you can't do the same." Qu Muge said: "Not only sons, but also any sister can't marry Yanbei. The kings of Yanbei in the past dynasties relied on their merits and the power in their hands, and repeatedly forced the imperial power to make concessions for them, one and two, and now the matter has passed three, if they compromise again, it is to breed their ambitions. If they can't be loyal to the court from the bottom of their hearts and fear the imperial power, when the new policy interferes with their interests, they will boldly obstruct it, and even use the princess to collude with the clan relatives to oppose the new policy. At that time, what can be the use of a princess who marries far away? It's just one more tragedy of separation and confrontation! ”

Qu Muge had the courage to say it, and he didn't know if he would make Emperor Yong angry.

After she finished speaking, she waited for a long time, and Emperor Yongdi didn't speak, just looked at the butterfly golden silk crisp.
