Chapter 124: The city is full of wind and rain
"Actually, he doesn't have a bad heart, but he is spoiled, like a child who hasn't grown up."
Looking at the place where Zhou Wenxuan disappeared, Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I haven't congratulated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for successfully eradicating the eldest prince, from now on, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can sit back and relax!" β
"Jing Yuan, there is no need to say this between you and me."
Murong Yichen took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently took Jing Yuan's hand.
"The reason why you were able to eradicate the eldest brother in one fell swoop today is that Jing Yuan, you can be regarded as a great contributor! So, have you already made your choice? You forgave me, didn't you? β
Murong Yichen's eyes under the moonlight were a little more gentle, which suddenly made Jing Yuan panic.
Pulling his hand out of Murong Yichen's hand, Jing Yuan turned around, only to feel that his heart was beating "poof" and "poof" violently.
"There is nothing to forgive or not forgive, Murong Yichen, now that I have come to Daxuan, naturally I will not investigate the real cause of my father's emperor......"
After calming down for a while, Jing Yuan always regained his previous state of mind.
"It's just that you are just the crown prince of Daxuan now, and I, as a princess of Heqin, should understand that marrying the emperor means much more to me than marrying you."
Although there is an element of anger in these words, Murong Yichen has to admit that this is also a true truth.
A touch of obscurity flashed in his eyes, Murong Yichen pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Jingyuan, as long as you can give me a word, I will figure out the rest!" β
"What words for you? Say I like you? β
Jing Yuan sneered, looking at Murong Yichen's handsome face, for some reason, his heart suddenly felt like he had been pricked by a needle.
"Murong Yichen, I thought that this princess wanted to recruit you as a concubine, but you refused, didn't you? And that my fate should not have befallen youβin that case, what do you mean by coming to me again now? Do you think that this princess is so easy to handle, as long as you say a word, she can die and live for you, right? β
Jing Yuan's eyes were full of anger, and his whole person was sharp: "I won't tell you, now the emperor is the most ideal candidate for my family, after all, the emperor is the master of Daxuan, and you are just a prince...... Besides, I think that although the emperor is older, he is more attractive than you hairy boys. β
Taking a deep breath, Jing Yuan raised his head violently and looked at Murong Yichen without flinching.
"I know you're still angry, so I won't be serious with you, it's just Jing Yuan, it's about your happiness for a lifetime, I hope you don't get angry with me at this time......"
Murong Yichen patiently persuaded Jing Yuan, but Jing Yuan and Murong Yichen never imagined that there was a pair of ears behind them, and they heard the conversation between Jing Yuan and Murong Yichen clearly......
Yang Youxuan bit her lower lip, her heart turned for a moment, and she quickly made up her mind.
When Jing Yuan returned to the banquet again, it didn't take long for the banquet to end.
It's just that on the second day, a shocking news spread throughout the palace at a very fast speed.
Kunning Palace.
"Queen Mother, now that it has been spread all over the palace, no matter what, you have to come up with an idea!"
Concubine Ling was holding the handkerchief in her hand, and a touch of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
"That's it, Queen Mother, the princess of Li Guo was born as beautiful as a flower, and she is young and beautiful, if she is really allowed to enter the palace, is there still a place for us people? Mother, you have to make decisions for us no matter what! β
The eagerness on Concubine Min's face is not much less than that of Concubine Ling-Concubine Ling still has a princess by her side, her knees are empty, and there is no prince and princess, originally she was younger than several high-ranking ladies in the palace, if she is now robbed of the limelight by the princess from this Li country, how can she get the emperor's favor in the future?
"I really don't know what you guys are panicking about."
The queen frowned, and rebuked with some displeasure: "All of them are the masters of the first palace, how can they listen to the wind and rain?" Princess Jingyuan's marriage is naturally decided by the emperor, and now the emperor's holy will is undecided, but you are worried about the emperor one by one! β
"Queen Mother, you can't blame us for being in a hurry......"
Concubine Ling couldn't help but interrupt the queen's words and said, "If you wait for the emperor's holy will to make a decision, wouldn't it be too late?" It is said that there is no wind and no waves, if there is no evidence, how could everyone in the palace know overnight that the princess of Li Guo is going to enter the palace to serve the emperor? β
After a pause, seeing that the queen was still frowning, but it didn't look like she was going to be the master for everyone, Concubine Ling snorted coldly in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "The queen is the queen of the middle palace, and there is His Royal Highness the Prince under her knees, and she has been married to the emperor for many years, so you are naturally not afraid of this princess of Li Kingdom!" If Princess Li enters the palace, the emperor will inevitably promise a high position, and when the time comes, will there be a few of us to live? β
"Presumptuous!"
The queen patted the phoenix chair, her eyes were full of forest, and she reprimanded loudly: "Princess Li Guojingyuan originally came to Daxuan in person for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, but you are saying these ignorant words in front of the palace at this time!" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule passed down by the ancestors, is it possible that you want the palace to break the rules of the ancestors? ! β
"The concubine doesn't dare!"
Concubine Ling was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, but her face was still full of resentment: "How dare the concubine let the queen mother break the rules of the ancestors?" It's just that the concubines and all the sisters feel that this is the emperor's family matter, and the only one who can dissuade the emperor is the queen's mother...... If you don't want to, the concubine will naturally not dare to complain......"
"Don't dare to complain?"
The queen sneered: "But why does this palace think that you don't have a lot of complaints?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Kunning Palace early in the morning and make a fuss! β
"The concubine doesn't dare!"
At this moment, everyone knelt at the feet of the queen, listening to the queen's reprimand in horror.
Taking a deep breath and then exhaling slowly, the queen closed her eyes, and after a long time, her mind regained her calm.
"Don't forget, the emperor's sister also went to the Li Kingdom with her relatives before, according to the seniority, this Li princess is the emperor's descendant!"
The queen said lightly: "You have been serving the emperor for a long time, is it true that in your eyes, the emperor is the kind of hungry ghost who ignores the code of ethics?" Listening to the wind is rain, and I don't even know where the source of the rumors is, so I follow others to coax ...... You really give the emperor a long face! β
"That's right!"
Concubine Min thought for a while, and said happily: "The concubine just said, the age difference between the emperor and the princess is too big, how could the emperor let the princess enter the palace?" I see that the princess's appearance is not bad, and she also knows books and etiquette, and she is very compatible with His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"Ahem!"
The queen coughed lightly, and Concubine Min reacted immediately, and immediately regretted her words, and said with a sneer: "The concubine has a lot of mouths, and the queen mother forgives her sins......"
"If there is nothing to do, let it all go down."
The queen frowned slightly, and held her forehead with her hand: "After a morning of noisy, the palace is tired!" Before the emperor's decree, the palace does not want any rumors to appear in the palace, and always takes into account the face of the princess of the Li Kingdom! If you teach the palace to hear a little gossip again, don't blame the palace for not talking about the past! β
"Concubines and other concubines obey the ......"
After getting the queen's letter, everyone was naturally impatient to continue to set rules in front of the queen, so they left Kunning Palace in a swarm.
Calm finally returned to the Kunning Palace, and the queen took a deep breath and said to the back of the screen: "Come out!" β
I saw Murong Yichen striding out from behind the screen.
"Queen Mother's ......"
Murong Yichen arched his hand, and a moment of confusion flashed on his face.
"Since you were sensible, you have always been the pride of the queen mother, you are not flustered when you encounter problems, and you are very calm, why can't you hold your breath at this time?"
The queen glared at Murong Yichen very ironcladly: "Look at the palace, the princess of the Li Kingdom didn't have a good heart at all, she may just want to provoke the relationship between you and your father!" As soon as he came to Daxuan, he made a move on your eldest brother, if you let your father and emperor be wary of you at this moment, wouldn't it be their Li Kingdom that would benefit at that time? In vain, as the Great Xuan Prince, you can't even see this idea and scheme! β
"Queen Mother, she's not such a person......"
Although he knew that what the queen said made sense, Murong Yichen just didn't want to listen to others say bad things about Jing Yuan, even if it was the queen.
"Alas, the color makes the wisdom faint, the color makes the wisdom faint!"
The queen patted the phoenix chair very ironcladly, and glared at Murong Yichen angrily: "What I just told the concubines is what this palace wants to tell you, Yichen, now that you have just pulled the eldest prince off the horse, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all staring at you, you must not go wrong!" β
"The queen mother can rest assured, and the sons have their own opinions in their hearts."
Murong Yichen finally had a faint smile on his face, bowed his hand to the queen, and left.
"Alas!"
Compared with the departure of the concubines, the haze in the queen's eyes at this time can be regarded as rich and indissolvable.
"Niangniang, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been calm, and he won't think about such a trivial matter......"
The queen's personal maidservant, Lamei, whispered a word of persuasion from the side.
"It's because this kid has always been calm that I'm afraid!"
The queen raised her eyes, glanced at Murong Yichen, who was drifting away, and muttered in a low voice: "I hope he can really figure it out......"
At the same time, Murong Jue in the imperial study listened to the little eunuch's report, and a knowing smile subconsciously appeared on his somewhat old face.
"Then Princess Jingyuan really said that?"
Twisting his somewhat gray beard, Murong Jue asked.
"Anyway, that's how it was spread in the palace!"
The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, raised his head with a flattering face and said to Murong Jue: "Your Majesty, it's not surprising that Princess Jingyuan really said what she likes the emperor......
