Chapter 37 Establishing Reserves
Chaoyang Palace.
"Your Highness, your dance today is really beautiful." Yunshang's eyes were full of adoration.
Mu Ranyue smiled helplessly: "Okay, don't compliment me anymore." ”
"What the slave said is the truth, and the slave and the maid look at the night phase, and the soul is almost lost by you." Yunshang teased. Because Mu Ranyue is very good to her subordinates, Yun Sheng does not feel restrained in front of Mu Ranyue.
"Okay, you little girl, you dare to make a joke about this palace. See how Hongu cleans you up. Mu Ranyue pretended to be angry and played with Yunsheng.
"Okay, Your Highness, it's the slave who said the wrong thing, so you can spare the slave and maid." The two laughed like this for a while.
Mu Ranyue said again: "Yunshang, I didn't expect that your flute would play so well. ”
"When I was a child, at home, the slave maid also learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the slave maid likes music, so she has dabbled in various musical instruments, among which the flute is the best." Yunshang explained.
"Since your music is so good, why don't you go to the Music Bureau? There is no need to serve people there, and Yulu is also taller than ordinary palace maids. ”
Yunshang sighed and said, "Of course the slave maid has thought about it, but how can it be so easy to get in?" ”
Mu Ranyue also understood the selfishness of the yin, and listened to her tone with regret, and said, "If you want to go now, this palace can also send you in." ”
"Now the slave maid just wants to stay by His Highness's side, and doesn't want to go anywhere else." Yunshang hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Well, if you want to go in the future, talk to this palace." Mu Ranyue didn't want Yunshang to leave, she had been with her for so long, she still liked this girl.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
The next day, Mu Ruiyuan issued an edict to appoint Mu Xuanche as the crown prince and enter the East Palace.
On the seventeenth day of the winter month, the coronation of the crown prince was held.
On the nineteenth day of the winter month, Mu Ruiyuan issued an edict to select Duanmin, the daughter of the Duke of Jingguo, as the crown princess, and the wedding day was set for the twenty-second day of the first month of the next year.
"Sister Han, congratulations." Mu Ranyue congratulated.
Han Susu suppressed the bitterness in her heart and reluctantly showed a smile. Now that she is the future crown princess, she has completely lost her relationship with Mu Xuanzhan in this life.
Mu Ranyue saw that she was not very happy, and said, "Sister, are you still thinking about the Third Emperor Brother?" ”
Han Susu denied: "No, I have completely given up on him now." ”
"But I don't think you're very happy."
"I just thought that I was going to enter the palace in two months, and I was a little reluctant." Han Susu explained.
After a woman enters the palace, she can't leave the palace casually.
Although Mu Ranyue didn't believe her statement, she didn't say anything more, and she still had to let go of this matter herself.
"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, your wedding date should be the seventh day of the lunar month, but it's less than twenty days away."
"yes, I'm really looking forward to that day." Mu Ranyue thought that she was about to marry Ye Zichen and become his wife, and she was a little excited in her heart.
Han Susu sighed with emotion: "I really envy you, you can return to the palace at any time after you get married, but I can't." ”
"Sister Han can often let the Duchess of Guo into the palace to accompany you in the palace, and the second emperor brother likes you so much, he will definitely take you very well in the future." Mu Ranyue comforted.
"Oh, hopefully." Although Han Susu has no love for Mu Xuanche, he still treats him as a brother, and Mu Xuanche has always been very protective of her, but I don't know if he will be the emperor in the future, and he will be able to treat himself as good as always.
"Che'er, I heard that this Duanmin County Lord was personally begged by you to Your Majesty?" In Yichun Palace, Concubine Mo Shu was talking to Mu Xuanche.
"Hmm." Mu Xuanche nodded casually.
"Why didn't you talk to your mother about such a big thing?" Concubine Mo Shufei said with a displeased face.
"The mother concubine has always known that her son wants to marry the county lord of Duanmin, what else is there to say?"
"Aren't you afraid that your father will be jealous of you?" Concubine Mo asked worriedly.
"My father has always been conceited, and he doesn't care about these things at all. Even if he cares, I'm afraid he is powerless now. Mu Xuanche leaned lazily on the soft couch and said.
"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Mo looked puzzled.
"Erchen has privately gone to the Imperial Medical Department to check, and I am afraid that my father's illness will not last for a few months. I don't think for this reason, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to make his son the crown prince. ”
"What? You mean Your Majesty, he's dying? Concubine Mo Shu exclaimed.
"Now it seems that it should be like this, but the little imperial sister studied under Murong Villa, and I don't know if I can make my father better." Although Mu Xuanche is determined to win the throne, he also has a father-son relationship with Mu Ruiyuan
Concubine Mo Shuyuan has no feelings for Mu Ruiyuan, she began to serve Mu Ruiyuan when she was in the palace, but she was born as a slave, so although she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Mu Ruiyuan, her status after entering the palace was not high. Mu Ruiyuan is not particularly fond of her.
After Empress Murong entered the palace, Mu Ruiyuan completely chilled the harem, including her, of course. However, Concubine Mo didn't complain, she just wanted to live peacefully in the harem, and she didn't want to mess with those rights and wrongs.
Of course, she is not the kind of woman who has no brains, otherwise she would not have protected her children and grew up peacefully in the harem.
"By the way, you are now the crown prince, but there is no woman around you, which is really a bit unusual. Why don't you ask your father to give you a few more good and talented people? ”
"Mother Forgot which woman my future crown princess is?" Mu Xuanche said with a smile.
"Then you can't accept even a beauty just because she is from the Yasukuni Mansion."
"Mother, the people in the Yasukuni Mansion are well-known for protecting their shortcomings, and you don't know it. If they knew that I had accepted other women before the princess entered the door, would they be able to settle with their sons? Mu Xuanche explained, and when he becomes the emperor in the future, what beauty do you want?
Concubine Mo was stunned, but if you think about it seriously, it's really like this.
She quipped: "To be honest, Bengong just heard what you said, why do you think that you don't make a profit but a loss if you marry this Duanmin County Lord?" ”
"Mother, this Yasukuni Mansion is a family that has been standing for a hundred years, how can you lose money if you marry a girl from his family! Although I am now a legitimate prince, don't forget that my father is not the only prince of mine.
Although Duanwang doesn't look afraid, I have to guard against it. The ministers heard that several ministers in the court had a very good personal relationship with this king. So now, Erchen must expand his power in order to successfully ascend to that position. Mu Xuanche said.
"Then you're not afraid that if you marry her, the power of the Yasukuni Mansion will expand in the future and threaten the imperial power?"
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen." Mu Xuanche looked confident.
"Well, I don't know much about the affairs of the court, a deep palace woman, everything still depends on you."
"Then please ask the mother concubine to believe in her son, and one day the mother will definitely be allowed to sit on the throne of the queen mother." Mu Xuanche swore an oath.
"Well, the mother will wait for that day." Concubine Mo said with a smile.
A palace person came to report: "Niangniang, Princess Yangle is here with Young Master Han." ”
"Come in, please." Concubine Mo Shufei looked surprised, her daughter hadn't entered the palace for some days, and she really missed her.
Mu Qingyi took Han Jingyi into the palace gate, and Han Jingzhi broke away from Mu Qingyi's hand holding him, and rushed towards Concubine Mo Shu: "Grandmother." ”
Concubine Mo Shufei picked him up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, Jing'er is heavier again." ”
Mu Qingyi greeted Concubine Mo Shufei in an orderly manner, and greeted Mu Xuanche again, and then looked at her son lying in Concubine Mo Shufei's arms helplessly: "Why are you so unruly, why don't you come down and give a salute to the prince's uncle." ”
Only then did Han Jingzhi see Mu Xuanche on the side, looking at his mother's slightly angry face, and was about to get out of Concubine Mo Shu's arms.
But I heard Mu Xuanche laugh and said: "Excuse me, Jing'er's temperament is really lively." ”
"Alas, it's all for pets." Mu Qingyi sighed.
Concubine Mo Shufei happily teased the little baby in her arms, Han Jingzhi also hadn't seen her grandmother for a long time, and she liked to be intimate with her.
Mu Xuanche saw that the concubine should not have time to pay attention to herself now, so she retired to Concubine Mo Shu.
"Why, I just came, you are leaving, you don't recognize your sister when you become a prince, don't you?" Mu Qingyi said as if aggrieved.
"What did the imperial sister say! You and Lone are sisters and brothers of the same mother, how can Lone not recognize you? It's just that there is really something going on in the East Palace, so I can't accompany the imperial sister here. The royal sister should not say this again in the future, otherwise the younger brother will be angry. Mu Xuanche said.
"Okay, I'm kidding you, let's go." Mu Qingyi saw that he seemed to be really a little unhappy, so he hurriedly shut his mouth.
Mu Xuanche gave Concubine Mo Shu a salute and went out.
