Chapter 216: The Emperor's Pillow Man
Seeing Ruan Qi and Ruan Xuchen coming out, Gu Jinxi didn't continue to talk to Ruan Cailing.
During the meal, Mu Yifei said all the interesting things in the palace, and now the emperor is old, but there are still some people who put their minds on the emperor's pillow people, always thinking of sending a few intimate people into the palace to blow the emperor's pillow wind.
However, the current emperor is not thinking about this matter, and the people who are sent to the palace are not a few years older than Mu Yifei, but one of them often goes to the princess to stay and relieve his boredom.
I heard that it was Xie Qingyuan's person.
Ruan Cailing paused, she glanced up at Gu Jinxi, and asked Mu Yifei again, "Is it the person Xie Qingyuan sent to the palace?" Are you sure? ”
"Although the man didn't say who sent him in, but what he said between the lines was about King Ping's mansion, King Ping wouldn't not know my father's thoughts, so naturally it was impossible to send someone to the pillow in a hurry, it could only be Xie Qingyuan, who had just married Anyang! I knew that this man's mind was not right, and my father had sent him to do such a great thing as curing the plague. ”
Saying that, Mu Yifei poked the rice in the bowl, and Ruan Xuchen gave Mu Yifei a chopstick dish, "Okay, eat your meal obediently, and let Jiang Chen send you back to the palace in a while, if you go back too late, Concubine Lan will also be in a hurry." ”
As soon as he heard that he was going back, Mu Yifei pouted and was unhappy.
After eating, Ruan Sushi and Ruan Qi went out for a walk, and Ruan Cailing accompanied Ruan Xuchen to send Mu Yifei to the door and got into the carriage, Ruan Cailing asked Mu Yifei again, "Is it true that you said that the noble person was sent to the palace by Xie Qingyuan?" ”
When he was eating just now, Mu Yifei was afraid that Ruan Su's would be unhappy, so he just pretended to be joking and mentioned this matter to them, there were no elders here at this time, so Mu Yifei said with a straight face, "I asked, she naturally refused to say it, but once I said something, Xie Qingyuan's name blurted out, it shouldn't be fake." ”
Unexpectedly, Xie Qingyuan's courage was quite big.
Not long after blocking the imperial court, he dared to send someone to the emperor's side, didn't he know that being found out by the emperor was a capital crime! Today's emperor hates such a thing the most, except for the draft, officials are never allowed to send people into the palace without permission, and the queen or concubine chooses another.
"Then who recommended this noble man?" Ruan Cailing asked.
Ruan Xuchen didn't know much about the harem, it was better for Ruan Cailing to tell Mu Yifei.
Mu Yifei said, "It's Yun Guifei." ”
This Yun Guifei is the same as Mu Yifei's mother Concubine Lan Guifei, and they are tied for concubines, but most of them are still called Concubine Lan Niangniang, and Concubine Lan doesn't care about these things.
Now Concubine Lan is worried about Ruan Cailing helping Mu Yifei, and she will be a family again in the future, and Concubine Lan is willing to help the Dingguo Mansion in many things.
Mu Yifei took Ruan Cailing's hand and said, "I never knew that my ninth brother would actually do such a thing, many things Xu Chen and my third brother hid from me, if you don't need me this time, you won't tell me." ”
Speaking of this, Mu Yifei glanced at Ruan Xuchen with some grievances in his eyes.
Ruan Xuchen said helplessly, "It's not that you don't know, these things are dangerous, you are originally a person in the royal family, and your failure to participate is the greatest protection for you." ”
"I naturally know that you want to protect me, but ......" Mu Yifei lowered his head, his eyes were red, "I also want to help you, I don't want to just be a little princess hiding behind you, I've never been that kind of person." ”
When Mu Yifei said this, Ruan Cailing had a feeling of seeing herself.
At the beginning, when she chose to stand in front of the Dingguo Mansion to protect her family, Ruan Su, Ruan Xuchen and others didn't want her hands to be contaminated with human life, or they didn't want her to become a person who planned and calculated.
But she has no regrets, she would rather be a vicious person in the eyes of outsiders, and she doesn't want to cry when something happens to her family and lover.
That's pretty good.
Ruan Cailing glanced at Mu Yifei, in the face of such a Mu Yifei, Ruan Xuchen had no choice.
"Okay, I see what you mean, good, go back today, and I'll tell you everything later." Ruan Xuchen said.
"Hmm!" Mu Yifei was very happy when he left, but Ruan Xuchen was not so happy.
The brother and sister walked side by side in the direction of the attic, which had now become a room for them to discuss things, full of their materials and Ruan Cailing's unfinished account book, Ruan Cailing yawned as she walked.
"What, still sleepy?" Ruan Xuchen asked Ruan Cailing.
Now Ruan Cailing really can't wake up, their trip has been delayed for several days, yesterday Ruan Cailing went to Yanhualou to check the accounts, and fell asleep while talking with Xiyin, Xiyin is also worried about Ruan Cailing.
However, since Ruan Cailing was rescued by them, Mu Yichen has never appeared again.
Mu Yizuo came with news from the palace.
It is said that Mu Yichen returned to the room and found that Ruan Cailing was missing, but he did not look for it with great fanfare, nor did he have any anxious look, it has been normal these days.
This also confirms Ruan Cailing's conjecture.
This time, Mu Yichen was nothing more than using Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing said to Ruan Xuchen, "There are some things that can't be hidden from Chunhui, Chunhui probably knows what kind of person Mu Yichen is, you said earlier, she is a princess after all, and in the future disputes between Mu Yizuo and Mu Yichen, there will always be places where Chunhui can help." ”
"But ......" Ruan Xuchen hesitated for a moment, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and sighed helplessly, "Alas, you also know that this Mu Yichen has no ill intentions towards anyone and is full of calculations, but it is really good for Chunhui." ”
It is precisely this that Ruan Cailing can't figure out.
Obviously, Chunhui and Mu Yichen were not born of the same mother, with a character like Mu Yichen, if they don't kill Chunhui, even if they have family affection, how can they be so good to Chunhui?
Regarding this point, Ruan Cailing didn't figure it out when she went to the attic, Gu Jinxi said to Ruan Cailing after hearing it, "Actually, Mu Yichen was not the most popular candidate for the crown prince at the beginning, but the emperor didn't like Mu Yichen very much, probably because of Mu Yichen's biological mother!" ”
It is not a good thing that the power of the biological mother's family is too high.
At least in the emperor's heart, he will always be afraid that any person or thing that may endanger the country will be excluded by the emperor, so far, the emperor does not like Mu Yichen, even if Mu Yichen at that time was already the most courageous of all the emperor's princes.
Coupled with Mu Yichen's quirky personality, there are few princes who are willing to be close to Mu Yichen, and even Mu Yizuo will not treat Mu Yichen with a very friendly attitude at that time.
"It was normal to be young at that time, and now Mu Yizuo also regrets it a little."
Mu Yizuo said that if their brothers and sisters could have taken more care of Mu Yichen at that time, maybe he would not have become what he is now, so enthusiastic about this throne.
But the only one who is not afraid of Mu Yichen is the smallest pure wisdom.
Since she was born, as soon as she saw Mu Yichen, she asked him to hug her, and every time she got something treasured, she first went to Mu Yichen to let him take a look, then her brother Mu Yizuo, and then other brothers and sisters.
In fact, Mu Yifei can't say why.
"Maybe it's because Chunhui can see that Mu Yichen is lonely." Ruan Cailing said lightly.
Gu Jinxi and Ruan Xuchen were stunned.
The top of 10,000 people is always lonely, and the person sitting on the throne is even more lonely, perhaps because Mu Yichen is used to loneliness, so he wants to go to that position even more.
"Anyway, it's a good thing, if it really starts...... Mu Yichen will at least let Chunhui go. Ruan Xuchen said.
Ruan Cailing pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Yes." ”
Let's talk about Xie Qingyuan again.
During the banquet, Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing said that Xie Qingyuan had made no progress on the side of the border city, but Gu Jinxi felt that Wen Rushi had an opportunity at this time.
"Someone in the court has already said that Wen Rushi, the new champion, is not as good as Xie Qingyuan, and he has not made any achievements, and now Xie Qingyuan is curing the plague in the border city, but Wen Rushi still does nothing in the court, and as soon as this remark came out, it was one-sided." Ruan Xuchen said.
Wen Rushi is Gu Jinxi's person, Ruan Qi and Gu Yu will care more about it in the court.
What's more, Wen Rushi is indeed a material that can be made, and he deserves to be a courtier, and in the future, the three princes will inherit the throne, and Wen Rushi's status will only be higher than now.
Ruan Cailing said, "It's indeed a good opportunity, but how to get Xie Qingyuan back?" ”
She bit her lower lip and thought for a while, Gu Jinxi saw that Ruan Cailing's eyebrows and eyes suddenly had color and understood, she must have some weird attention, Ruan Cailing suddenly snapped her fingers.
"Woman!"
"Women?"
To say that this Xie Qingyuan is good at everything, everything is very hidden, but only in the case of women, he has suffered more than one loss, these two women are now gathered in the capital, Xie Qingyuan is gone, it is estimated that Xie Qingyuan is also worried in his heart.
Especially when they got married, Shen Yunyun and Ning Lu both went.
Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp! In case one didn't hold back, he went directly to Ji Jingyan and said something that shouldn't be said...... Xie Qingyuan is finished!
Of course, neither of them was so stupid.
One married Cheng Xuan and became a young lady of the family, and the other was a woman in the Qinglou, and Ji Jingyan didn't necessarily believe what she said.
But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but whenever there is any gossip, Ji Jingyan will always be suspicious.
Women, Ruan Cailing knows best.
"Jiang Chen, how is Chengfu recently? What's the news on Shen Yunyun? Ruan Cailing called Jiang Chen in and asked.
Originally, Jiang Chen was going to send Mu Yifei back to the palace, but Ruan Xuchen said that he had something to do for Jiang Chen, so he changed his shadow guard to personally send Mu Yifei back, which was also safer.
