Chapter 44: Marquis Wu Cheng
Although Ye Zichen is a concubine, he is still an outsider in the royal family, so he stayed outside, and at the same time there was Han Yan, the prince of Yasukuni.
The two of them were bored, so they chatted with each other. Although Ye Zichen is not good at words, Han Yan is a very talkative person and can always find a topic to chat with.
As soon as Mu Ranyue entered the hall, she attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Mu Ranyue's eyebrows in surprise, wasn't it just a mole before? How did it become a flower?
I have to say that the fiery red makes Mu Ranyue's face more charming, but it is so unstained. In addition, today's Mu Ranyue is wearing red clothes, which sets off her noble and cold temperament.
When Concubine Yin saw Mu Ranyue, she couldn't help but mock: "As the saying goes, when the three dynasties return to the door, Princess Changning will return to the palace in just two days after she gets married, and she is not afraid of someone laughing at her." ”
At this time, Mu Ranyue didn't bother to bother with her, and hurriedly went to Mu Ruiyuan's bedside to check Mu Ruiyuan's pulse.
"Princess Changning, what are you doing?"
Mu Ranyue replied coldly: "Didn't Niangniang see that I was treating my father?" ”
"See a doctor?" Yin Guifei sneered, "There are so many skilled imperial doctors here, and it is your turn to be a princess to treat Your Majesty?" ”
This time, Mu Ranyue didn't speak, but Mu Xuanche opened her mouth to relieve her: "Didn't the concubine Niangniang forget where the little imperial sister grew up?" Even if Niangniang is just a deep palace woman, doesn't even Murong Villa know that it is the number one medical family in the world? Niang Niang thinks, can the imperial doctor here compare with it? ”
Concubine Yin was speechless, and her face was bruised with anger. However, Mu Xuanche is the crown prince, and she doesn't dare to do anything to him.
At this moment, Mu Ranyue also finished checking for Mu Ruiyuan, she threw a grateful look at Mu Xuanche, and Mu Xuanche smiled slightly.
He asked, "What happened to my father's body?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just an occasional cold, and it's okay to prescribe a few pairs of medicines."
She knew that her father didn't want people to know that his body was dying, so she said this, which was similar to what the imperial doctor said.
Mu Ruiyuan's body was almost at the limit, but now he was suddenly infected with wind and cold, which caused him to suddenly vomit blood and fall into a coma.
Mu Ranyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was nothing big for the time being, but her father's body was getting more and more exhausted, and she didn't know how long she could last.
"That's good." Mu Xuanche said. Everyone was relieved.
Mu Ranyue proposed: "Don't stay here now, just let your father have a good rest, my father should wake up in a short time." ”
Everyone agreed, and they went back to the palace and returned to their homes. In the end, only Mu Ranyue was left.
Outside the Qiande Palace, Ye Zichen saw that everyone had come out, but Mu Ranyue hadn't come out yet, so he couldn't help but wonder.
Han Yan also saw Ye Zichen's thoughts, walked up to Mu Qingyi, and took the initiative to ask for Ye Zichen: "Yiyi, why has everyone come out, but Princess Changning hasn't come out yet?" ”
Mu Qingyi glanced at Ye Zichen and said, "Yue'er knows how to heal, and she is still guarding her father inside." ”
"In that case, let's take our leave. Let's make an appointment again in the future," Han Yan said to Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen responded with a smile.
For Han Yan, talking to Ye Zichen can be said to be very enjoyable. In the past, he was a military general, and Ye Zichen was a civil official, and there was almost no communication between the two.
And today is the first time the two of them have talked. Han Yan has a straight temperament, he will say whatever he wants, although Ye Zichen doesn't talk much, but every word is beautiful, which makes Han Yan admire.
Of course, Ye Zichen also has his own considerations, since Nangong Yue Peng wants a military deployment map, then Han Yan, as the general of the third grade of the Chu State, should also be familiar with these aspects, and Ye Zichen can see that Han Yan has no defense against him, and it should be easy to start from him.
After everyone left, Ye Zichen entered the inner hall of Qiande Palace, and Wang Xi did not stop him.
Mu Ranyue stayed by Mu Ruiyuan's bed and asked, "Why did you come in?" ”
Ye Zichen replied: "Foreign ministers can't enter casually. ”
"But you are no longer so, you are my colt, the son-in-law of my father." Mu Ran Yue said.
"A colt counts."
"Okay." Mu Ranyue replied helplessly.
"How's my father doing?"
"It's nothing, it's just a cold, and I should be waking up soon."
As soon as Mu Ranyue finished speaking, Mu Ruiyuan slowly opened his eyes, and his voice was still a little weak: "Yue'er." ”
Mu Ranyue's face was pleasantly surprised, "Father, you can be regarded as awake, Yue'er is worried to death." ”
Mu Ruiyuan noticed the change in her eyebrows, and his expression was only surprised, but he didn't say anything. sighed, patted her hand soothingly, and saw Ye Zichen next to him again, and said, "Zichen is also here?" ”
"I've seen my father." Ye Zichen saluted.
"Okay, it's all your own family, so don't be polite."
Then he asked Xiang Mu Ranyue, "Today is not the day for you to return to the door, why did you go back to the palace?" ”
"Erchen heard that his father vomited blood and fell into a coma, can he not come back? Not only the sons, but even the eldest sister has also come. ”
"What? How could this matter be so big? Mu Ruiyuan was a little surprised.
"The emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma, it's not a big deal?" Mu Ranyue glanced at him rudely, and said with concern: "Father and Emperor must pay more attention to his body in the future, but don't be infected with other diseases." ”
For Mu Ruiyuan now, a small illness can make him one step closer to the ghost gate.
Mu Ranyue didn't tell him what his condition was, but just told him some precautions, she didn't want her father to be upset because of her condition, even if her father was a very open-minded person.
"Okay, I know, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Mu Ruiyuan assured Mu Ranyue with a smile.
"Hmph." Mu Ranyue gave him a proud little expression, and Mu Ruiyuan couldn't help laughing.
Then Mu Ruiyuan suddenly asked Mu Ranyue to go out first, he had something to say to Ye Zichen, Mu Ranyue was a little unwilling, what could she not listen to?
However, she still didn't disobey Mu Ruiyuan's intentions, and went out obediently, and she didn't want to eavesdrop.
"Sit down." Mu Ruiyuan said.
"Yes, thank you, Father." Ye Zichen bowed, and then found a place to sit down.
"I noticed the red lotus in Yue'er's eyebrows just now, which really surprised me. But it's more gratifying, I think Yue'er also told you the wonder of this. ”
"Yes." Ye Zichen spat out a word lightly.
"Something that hasn't happened in the Murong family for hundreds of years has made almost everyone think it's just a legend, but I didn't expect this to happen to Yue'er."
Speaking of this, a complicated smile appeared on the corner of Mu Ruiyuan's mouth, both relieved and sad. Murong Jin also had such a mole on his body at the beginning, and after marrying him, the mole did not change at all, but the two of them didn't feel anything, and now that they think about it, it turns out that he is not destined to be Murong Jin's destiny.
"Father, rest assured, the minister will never fail the princess in this life." This sentence was not only said to Mu Ruiyuan, but also to himself.
Mu Ruiyuan laughed loudly: "Of course I am relieved to you. "The red lotus in the heart of Mu Ranyue's eyebrows is the best proof.
Thinking of the fact that he put Ye Zichen in the prison at the beginning, I always felt guilty in my heart. It's just that he didn't show it because of the majesty of the emperor before, and he kept saying in his heart that he was also deceived, but in the end, he also has to take responsibility.
"I blame you for being put in prison in the first place?"
"The minister knows that his father was deceived, so naturally he won't blame you." Ye Zichen said indifferently.
Mu Ruiyuan didn't say anything more, the matter had already passed, and there was no point in saying this.
Mu Ruiyuan said his true purpose: "Although Fang Cai Yue'er didn't tell me about my condition, I can roughly guess it, and I can't think it will last long." Now, the only thing I can't worry about is this daughter. ”
"I hope that the two of you can be together for the rest of your life, and I can trust your character, but I was confused for a while and almost made a big mistake. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again after my death, I will give you an iron coupon for the Danshu. ”
"Father, with the merits of the ministers, he has no qualifications at all." Ye Zichen refused.
"You don't have to shirk it, I didn't give it to you for nothing. I only hope that with this Danshu iron coupon, you can protect Changning for the rest of your life. ”
Ye Zichen immediately knelt down and promised: "The minister swears that he will never live up to the trust of his father." ”
Mu Ruiyuan nodded with satisfaction.
Even if he is as cold as Ye Zichen, he is really moved by Mu Ruiyuan's love for his daughter at this moment, and compared with his father, he is also an emperor, and the gap is so far.
Moreover, Ye Zichen has been in the court of Chu for so many years, and it is inevitable to admire Mu Ruiyuan's way of being a king. If he was not the prince of Yunguo, he would not rule out doing things under such a Ming monarch.
However, the Danshu Iron Coupon was strongly rejected by Ye Zichen in the end, and he also felt guilty about Mu Ruiyuan in his heart, so how could he be embarrassed to accept the Danshu Iron Coupon?
On the way back to the house, Mu Ranyue didn't ask Mu Ruiyuan what he said to Ye Zichen, since her father didn't want her to know, then she still didn't know.
On the first day of the court after Ye Zichen's marriage leave, Mu Ruiyuan made a will in the court, and the left minister Ye Zichen made meritorious contributions to the court, and was specially awarded the title of Marquis of Wucheng, and the title was hereditary.
Originally, Mu Ruiyuan also wanted to give a waiting house, but was rejected by Ye Zichen.
The courtiers were surprised, and they were more jealous, Ye Zichen married Princess Changning, and His Majesty gave Ye Zichen such a great favor, and it was really Aiwu and Wu.
Therefore, in private, many people ridiculed Ye Zichen for relying on women to get these honors, but Ye Zichen turned a deaf ear when he heard it.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has given the Prime Minister the title of Marquis of Wucheng, and also given the Danshu Iron Coupon." Yunshang excitedly reported the good news to Mu Ranyue.
Hearing this, Mu Ranyue couldn't help but be shocked, "Why did my father suddenly seal the reward at this time?" ”
"The slave doesn't know this. It's just that this is a happy event for the house. Yunshang said happily.
Being made a marquis is of course a happy event, but Mu Ranyue thought of a question that suddenly made her unhappy.
Seeing Mu Ranyue's lack of interest, Yunshang asked, "Isn't His Royal Highness happy that Xiangye was made a marquis?" ”
Mu Ranyue said a little worriedly: "He has only been married to the palace for a few days, and he was crowned Marquis of Wucheng, do you say that those people in the court will not think that he relied on the palace to get this title?" And do you feel as proud as he is, will you really be happy, will you blame Hongu in your heart? ”
"yes." Yunshang's happy face also collapsed, no matter what man with backbone would not want to rely on a woman's relationship to get on top, that would only make them feel ashamed.
However, Yunshang still comforted: "Your Highness don't worry, Xiangye is definitely not such a narrow-minded person." ”
Mu Ranyue listened, and her mood was not much better, supporting her head with one hand, with a sad look on her face. She also understood that her father's move must be because of her, but her father's gift at this time, although it was a supreme honor, but for Ye Zichen, it might be a shame.
