Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 15 The Enemy Meets
In the Lama Palace, Emperor Yue Jingyun walked onto the throne amid the sound of everyone kneeling, his eyes swept over the crowd in the hall, and his eyebrows instantly rose: "Flatten." ”
"King Ning'an has arrived!"
As soon as everyone got up, they heard this announcement and couldn't help but look at the door of the temple.
They have long heard of the name of King Ning'an, especially in recent years, the development of Yunnan, a remote frontier land, under his rule.
The imperial court sent five governors of Yunnan before and after, and soon after taking office, they were either pulled off their horses or died violently, so that now officials are furious when they hear the word Yunnan.
The third prince Yue Xiaohan saw the person at the door clearly, and his eyes moved suddenly: How could Mu Yunlan be with the fifteenth emperor uncle?
Yue Jingxuan walked into the main hall and raised his eyes to look at the emperor sitting high on the golden throne, and the wind and clouds were surging under his eyes.
Eight years ago, it was his royal brother in front of him, who was driven out of the palace city when he was dying of poison, and at that time, this imperial brother looked at him like looking at the mud on the ground, and he was afraid of defiling his eyes if he swept it high......
Three years ago, when he found out that he was showing signs of being uncontrolled, the imperial brother threatened his mother's family and forced him to return to the imperial capital, ambushing and killing him along the way, causing him to be seriously injured and dying. After he promised to hand over the fief, he put him under house arrest and executed his grandfather's family of nine clans......
It took him a lot of effort to escape back to Yunnan, and it took him three years to recuperate from his old wounds.
Today, he came to the imperial capital again and returned to the palace, no longer a bald prince with no power, and there was nothing to blackmail him again, and some debts could be slowly recovered.
"I've seen the royal brother."
Yue Jingyun's expression was indifferent, but the emotions in his eyes were turbulent and abnormal: "It has been more than a month since the fifteenth emperor brother was recalled to Beijing from Yunnan, and I only saw you today, and it is really not easy to see you." ”
The person who thought he would die is now standing in front of him alive, and he has also developed a poor place in the five states of Yunnan into a prosperous place, not obeying the emperor's orders and not being under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, how can he not let him be like a fish in his throat?
Yue Jingxuan smiled, but his tone was extremely disapproving: "I am not in good health, I received the will of the imperial brother and rushed to the imperial capital day and night, and when I came, I was sick, I didn't dare to give you the sickness, I can only cultivate behind closed doors, the imperial brother won't blame, right?" "The reason why he is not in good health is because of this brother, and the pain of his heart that day is the same as in the past.
"Why, take a seat."
"Thank you, Brother Huang," Yue Jingxuan turned his head to look at Mu Yunlan, "You can just sit next to this king." ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on Mu Yunlan.
The slender waist is curled, the skirt is fluttering, the face is like a peach blossom, the eyebrows are like willows, and the eyes are full of autumn lips like Zhu. What a delicate beauty!
I have long heard that the future three princesses have a delicate temperament and delicate appearance, but now they really live up to their reputation.
It's just that the rumors don't say that she has a cowardly personality, watching flowers and tears, and seeing the moon sadly, can't be on the stage, now it seems that although she is slender and delicate, she has a generous and natural demeanor, and she is very dignified and elegant.
Mu Yunlan nodded, and as he sat down in his seat, his expression was calm from beginning to end, not affected by the sight around him in the slightest.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant, and everyone looked at the emperor and King Ning'an vaguely, only to feel a chill between the two.
Concubine Jin hurriedly walked in, knelt on the ground and pleaded: "The concubine is out of order, please punish the emperor." ”
Emperor Yue Jingyun himself was displeased, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Concubine Jin like this: "Concubine Jin, you have always understood the rules, why are you late today?" ”
Concubine Jin's heart is tight, the matter is related to Yue Jingxuan, she is afraid of being demolished if she lies, but if she doesn't lie, the real reason can't be put on the table.
"The emperor forgives his sins, they are all concubines......"
Yue Jingxuan smiled gently, but Mu Yunlan sensed a strong sense of watching the drama from his expression, and the idea of staying away from him became more and more determined in his heart.
Yue Jingxuan picked up the wine glass and motioned to Mu Yunlan to pour her wine with his eyes.
No wonder I let myself sit next to him, this is deliberately sending myself, huh! Mu Yunlan grinded her teeth secretly, picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass.
Yue Jingxuan took a sip with satisfaction, and slowly said, "Brother Huang, Concubine Jin is busy disciplining the palace maids, so it's too late." ”
"Discipline the palace maid? Concubine Jin, what's going on? Yue Jingyun asked in a deep voice.
Concubine Jin hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, a palace maid was punished for colliding with King Ning'an, and the concubine was ordered to manage the palace affairs, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to it. ”
Yue Jing Xuan Liang said: "Three years ago, I came back and jumped out of a disrespectful Qi concubine, this time even the palace maid didn't put this king in her eyes, this palace affairs are really not very good, I don't know, I thought it was the imperial brother who secretly instructed me to give me a dismount!" ”
Concubine Jin knelt on the ground and hated in her heart, but she had to quickly explain: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare, please be careful." ”
Yue Jingyun's face darkened, and the thought of the scene where he had to execute Concubine Qi made him grit his teeth secretly.
Three years ago, he received a secret report that Yue Jingxuan was privately stationed in Yunnan, and there was a faint tendency to get out of control. He issued an edict in the name of congratulatory birthday to summon him to Beijing, and never thought that he should not accept the decree. Later, it was Concubine Qi's biological father who came up with the idea and threatened Yue Jingxuan's mother clan to force him to enter Beijing. It's just that he didn't expect that after he arrived in the imperial capital, he secretly contacted the old department of the first emperor, intending to flee with the people of his mother's family.
clinker, he secretly plotted to hang Qi Concubine in the palace, and also collected evidence of the Qi family's corruption and perversion of the law, and even forced him to ask about the process of seeking the throne in the first place, forcing him to take matters into his own hands to destroy the Qi family and let the Qi family accompany him to the secret burial.
If Concubine Jin doesn't give him an explanation today, I'm afraid he still won't be able to do well. I don't want to admit it anymore, and I have to say that today's Yue Jingxuan is no longer a prince who he can learn from at will without any foundation, and he only hates that he mistakenly thought that he was foolproof after being poisoned, and he didn't immediately cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Concubine Jin, do you know what's wrong?"
"Concubine ......"
"Shut up! I don't want to listen to your explanation, since the palace affairs are not well managed, then don't care, and I will be grounded in the Zhengchun Palace after today's banquet. ”
Concubine Jin staggered to her feet, her face pale: "Yes......"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Yue Jingxuan's eyes very quickly, his imperial brother has always known how to make trade-offs, he loved Concubine Qi so much at the beginning, and finally got rid of Concubine Qi's family cleanly, not even the baby who was less than a month old.
"How's it going, are you satisfied?" Yue Jingxuan turned his head slightly to look at Mu Yunlan, and his eyes suddenly froze.
When pouring the wine, Mu Yunlan smelled the aroma of the wine and felt that the wine worms were all drawn out.
At this time, the situation in the palace did not allow her to interject, so she simply poured a glass of wine to relieve her hunger. With the experience of drinking last time, she knew that this body was not good at drinking, and she didn't dare to be greedy after only two drinks.
It's just that she forgot a little. There is no comparison between the wine last time on Huanhua Lake and the imperial wine in the palace. After two glasses of wine, I felt my cheeks flush and my head was dizzy.
So Yue Jingxuan turned his head and saw Mu Yunlan's smoky appearance.
The quiet apricot eyes brought a misty light, the white jade-like cheeks were stained with pink, at this time she was slightly stretching out the tip of her tongue to lick the wine stains on her lips, after relaxing, it was no longer as tight as a bowstring, the whole person was a little more lazy, with a beautiful and harmless appearance, people couldn't help but want to rub her head.
