Chapter 184: Someone Makes Trouble
Everyone followed the drums in their hearts, originally thinking that this princess was just a decoration, but they didn't expect them to be wrong, this is clearly the prince who took a fancy to it and put it on the tip of his heart.
They finally figured out the meaning of the princess's last sentence: those who offended her will naturally be dealt with directly, so the prince doesn't have to be embarrassed, as long as he is sad, it is enough.
And the prince's words are to agree with her meaning. That's where it gets interesting.
In Yunnan, there are fewer restrictions on women, and even in some remote places, there are women who are in charge.
Although Yue Qinghan's family is not headed by a woman, a woman's position in the clan is very important, so after her patriarch's father passed away, she inherited the position of the patriarch of the Yue clan and ordered to take the whole clan to the prince, and the people in the clan could only follow.
Fortunately, the prince is wise and martial, and treats the Yue clan well, which can be regarded as giving full play to their strengths, so that the Yue clan people have a place to live and shelter. And the current patriarch of the Yue clan, that is, Yue Qinghan, has been given high hopes, and one of the reasons why the whole clan supports her is that the prince has not married a wife, and Yue Qinghan is very likely to marry the king of Ning'an, so that in the future, the prince will be able to achieve great things and have their share of wealth.
In addition to her, there is also the eldest lady of the Zan family, Zan Li, the lord of Zan City was in Yunnan at the beginning, and then decided to return to the prince, and has always left the woman who has been in the boudoir, on the surface it is reluctant to give up the only daughter, in fact, the mind is obvious.
And most of the young ladies who came to the banquet today leaned towards the prince's side, and they didn't know how many times they fought openly and secretly.
But who would have thought that when the prince went to the imperial capital, there would be an extra princess by his side. Moreover, this princess does not seem to be easy to get along with, so the situation in Yunnan is complicated.
Mu Yunlan looked at the ever-changing faces of the people below, and the smile on the corner of her lips did not change at all: "Everyone, take a seat, today is the dust washing banquet of the prince and this princess, and we will not talk about drinking and doing fun and mundane things." ”
"Thank you, princess, thank you."
Yue Qinghan looked at Yue Jingxuan, but he didn't get the slightest response from him, and wanted to say something, but was glanced at by Zan Li on the side: "Patriarch Yue, please sit down." ”
Yue Qinghan didn't want to give up like this, gritted his teeth and said what he thought in his heart: "Lord, I heard rumors that the princess's life is ominous, which has brought endless drought to the Dayong Kingdom, and now you bring her back to Yunnan, will our Yunnan also be angered by the heavens?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.
A cold light flashed in Yue Jingxuan's eyes, and the compelling momentum pressed straight towards Yue Qinghan.
Yue Qinghan was cold, and then his heart ached, his eyes were full of coldness, like the snow on the top of the mountain that does not melt all year round, the cold wind was cold, and there was no warmth at all. Gritting her teeth, the words were already out, and she couldn't back down.
Mu Yunlan had expected that coming to Yunnan would not be peaceful, but she didn't expect that when they met for the first time, the atmosphere would be so tense.
She looked at Yue Qing's cold and stubborn face, and slowly spoke: "It seems that the news of the Yue girl is not very well-informed, and the people of the imperial capital know about the ominous things about my life, so I don't need to say it again." ”
"Princess, it's not that I question you, but the prince's identity is special, and the situation in Yunnan is not optimistic, so many things and many people have to be guarded against."
A lot of things? A lot of people? Hehe, I'm the only one you want to guard against, right?
Mu Yunlan didn't care very much: "Since I am already married to the prince, and my fate with the prince has also been recognized by God, if you question me like this, it will anger the heavens and cause trouble in Yunnan." When the time comes, you will blame me again, and I will not be able to argue. ”
"The princess is sharp-tongued, I can't argue." Yue Qinghan gritted his teeth.
"I'm just telling you the truth, why are you so angry?" Mu Yunlan's voice became softer and softer.
"So many people in the imperial capital are preaching, but you can turn black into white, where is there a truth?" Is it with a sharp mouth that he coaxed the prince to go?
"The emperor and the people of the imperial capital do not want to see me marry the prince, so they do everything possible to discredit me and break up this marriage, fortunately, God blesses, when we got married, we fulfilled the oath made by the emperor's uncle, and rained to express their recognition of our marriage.
"Heh, the princess is so big, you are just a mortal, and you are not a goddess in the sky, God will not pay so much attention to a mortal!" You're not God's own daughter.
The smile on Mu Yunlan's face faded, and she gently turned the blood jade bracelet on her wrist: "It seems that Miss Yue also understands this truth, I am just a mortal, so what ability do I have to influence God?" And how can it be said to bring disaster to Yunnan? ”
Yue Qinghan's heart trembled, and she was suddenly speechless.
The people below shook their heads one after another, this princess was light from beginning to end, she did not rush to justify, did not explain in a hurry, but guided her little by little, and let the Yue Patriarch overturn her own words, it was really ......
Speaking of which, the princess's maternal grandfather was the emperor Lin Zi'an, the eloquence of that person, but he was able to force the officials who participated in his performance to commit suicide in shame, so thinking about it, it is no wonder that her eloquence is so good.
Yue Jingxuan's expression eased slightly: "Patriarch Yue, the great drought is a natural disaster, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, it is also a person who can affect the entire court, and it has nothing to do with the princess, can you understand?" ”
Yue Qinghan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”
"You are disrespectful to the princess, and you ...... with the rod"
"Lord Wang," Mu Yunlan stopped his words, "I said just now, today is the first time I have met with all of you, if there is any rudeness, I will not pursue it, Miss Yue has a straightforward temperament, I think it is very good." ”
"Well, listen to the princess." Yue Jingxuan looked at her, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Mu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Uncle Huang had just said that on purpose, in order to help her establish her prestige. Under the table, with the help of the sleeves, she gently scratched Yue Jingxuan's palm, and when she saw that his eyes suddenly darkened, she blinked her eyes a little puzzled.
Yue Jingxuan clenched her troublesome fingers, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this girl is still too young.
Yue Qinghan stiffened and sat down, pinched the wine glass and drank it with his head up, and then did not care about the occasion, as if he was angry, he poured himself a glass of wine.
Mu Yunlan glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze and looked at Yue Jingxuan and the others greetings.
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more awkward, and suddenly, a commotion broke out on the side of the female dependents.
"Snakes, there are snakes!"
"Ah, come on, come on!"
A small green snake swam away quickly, and everywhere it went, it caused a commotion.
When the guards came in, they didn't dare to use their knives at will, and they couldn't catch them for a long time.
Suddenly, the little green snake changed direction and swam towards Mu Yunlan's position!
"Princess, protect the princess!"
"Princess, be careful!"
Everyone exclaimed, for fear that the news of the princess being bitten would come out in the next moment, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear any movement at all, and Mu Yunlan also sat in her original position safely.
"This ...... This is ...... "What's going on?" The princess was scared silly?
Tianshu stepped forward: "Princess? ”
Mu Yunlan got up and raised her feet slightly.
The people close to Mu Yunlan's side looked intently, and the light crimson skirt was lifted, revealing a small Yingluo embroidered shoe tip, and under that small shoe tip, the little green snake that was making trouble everywhere was steadily stepping.
Belch......
Tianshu took advantage of no one's attention and pressed down the corners of his upturned lips: "Princess, your subordinates will deal with it." ”
Mu Yunlan let go of the toe of her shoes, watched Tianshu pick up the little green snake, and was still looking at it with her eyes down, and then turned her head to look at Yue Jingxuan, her voice was full of curiosity:
"Lord Wang, I heard that it is rainy here in Yunnan, and it is easy to breed snakes and ants in damp places, this kind of snake has a flat head and does not look like it is poisonous, is there a lot of it in the city lord's mansion? If it's more, let Tianshu and Tianxuan help me catch some and stew a cup of snake soup, which is delicious and nourishing. ”
"If you like it, let the city lord help you catch it, this is his city lord's mansion, there are many, he should know best." Yue Jingxuan's voice was gentle, but his eyes were very cold, even if there were many snakes in Yunnan, there should not be one in the city lord's mansion and in the main hall where the banquet was held.
Zan Yuan's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the Lord Wang." ”
"It's okay, isn't the princess okay?" It is not he who is frightened, and if he wants to plead guilty, he must find the right person.
Zan Yuan knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the princess." ”
Mu Yunlan tidied up the hem of her skirt: "Don't get in the way, the city lord is busy with affairs, and it should be taken care of in one or two places, so you should pay more attention to rest on weekdays." ”
Regardless of whether he was behind this matter or not, it happened in his City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't have noticed any movement at all, otherwise, this person would not have been able to sit in the City Lord's position for so many years.
"Yes, my subordinates thank you for the princess's teachings."
"Today is a reception banquet, don't be distracted, the city lord can tell me the results of the investigation early tomorrow morning."
Zan Yuan's eyes moved, and then responded: "Yes." ”
The others looked at each other, and their understanding of Mu Yunlan in their hearts was mentioned again and again, becoming more and more cautious.
Next, the banquet was calm, and when the banquet dispersed, Yue Jingxuan went to the study to deal with Zhan Yuan and Li Yuanzhou and others, and Mu Yunlan took Qingsleeve and Bizhu back to Xinning Courtyard.
"Miss, you weren't frightened by that snake, were you?"
"It's just a little snake, what's so scary?"
"I don't know who is so hateful, it's obviously Miss Calculation." Qingsleeve was indignant.
"Just to see me be a clown." This little snake was definitely brought in by someone deliberately, as for the purpose, one is to tempt, and the other is to make her ugly in front of everyone, if she meets everyone for the first time, she will lose face, and it will be even more difficult to raise her head in the future.
"Miss, this matter can't be left like this, who knows if the mastermind will bring a poisonous snake in next time behind the scenes?"
