Chapter 8 Pretend to be someone you like
Music sounded on the stage again, and Situ Qi took advantage of the ensemble of the two to pull Mu Yuqing away.
"Who was that guy in the blue shirt just now?"
"Wang Shangshu's second daughter Wang Yiting, and his eldest daughter Wang Yiya are the crown princess. Girl, maybe after tomorrow you will be like you just now, you have to be mentally prepared! ”
"Is it because of you?" Mu Yuqing lowered her head.
"Hmm"
The two of them walked to the riddle area, and then a eunuch was ushered in in the distance, and when he walked in, he found that this was the person who was beside the emperor just now, "The slave has seen the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince, Your Majesty is invited." ”
"Well, Father-in-law Lao Li is leading the way."
"Girl, you stay here for the time being, I'll be back later, Biluo takes good care of Miss." After Situ Qi finished his order, he left with Gonggong Li.
Mu Yuqing walked alone in the array full of lanterns, and from time to time took over the riddle sign hanging under the lantern with her hand. There are more and more people around me, maybe the talent show is over.
There was such a big commotion before, in fact, basically everyone knew themselves, and it was really a wave that just stopped and another wave started again. I saw that Su Zili was like a shadow, the banquet was next to her, and she deliberately accosted herself in the talent show just now, and now, she came to her side again, and several women led by her followed again, as well as Wang Yiting, who wanted to make a fool of herself just now.
"Bold, don't you salute when you see the young ladies?" Su Zili's girl suddenly yelled at Mu Yuqing and the two, like a mad dog.
With this arrogant and domineering appearance, Biluo wanted to beat them directly, but in the end she held back, after all, this is the palace. She saluted with Mu Yuqing.
Mu Yuqing was also very helpless, and said that three women were in one play, so she didn't want to mess with herself. Su Zili picked up a riddle sign from a woman in light yellow clothes next to her: "What you can't see but you can touch, if you can't touch it, will you be scared?" I wonder if Miss Mu knows the answer to the mystery? ”
Mu Yuqing was also drunk on her behavior, this woman couldn't live a little better, and she didn't guess her riddle but asked her to solve it. One or two came to stir up trouble after she pretended to be Situ Qi's crush. It seems that if they don't give them some color, they are afraid that it will be endless.
"Biluo, who is this?"
"Miss, this is Miss Murong Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Lord Murong."
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Murong, doesn't Miss Murong know the answer to the mystery?" Mu Yuqing replied lightly.
"How could I not know, I'm afraid that you, a little common woman, don't understand!" Murong Xiaoxiao smiled proudly.
"Miss Murong doesn't say it, I'm afraid I don't know! Do you think so? ”
Murong Xiaoxiao was angry when she heard this, afraid that everyone would think she was stupid, "Isn't the answer the pulse, who doesn't know?" After speaking, he looked proud.
"Miss Murong is really smart, the answer is the same as the little girl's thoughts." Originally, Mu Yuqing really didn't know the answer to the mystery, if it weren't for Murong Xiaoxiao falling into her trap and couldn't wait to show herself, she might have to make a fool of herself again.
Fang Yan in the distance watched their actions from the side, and walked over and turned up a sign, "Pouting your ass and basking in the sun." ”
"Little girl, what do you think it is?"
"It's like someone just now, with eyes but no beads!" Mu Yuqing shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, if you want to say this answer, it was Biluo who quietly told herself just now.
"Hahahaha, the little girl is really smart."
Murong Xiaoxiao stomped her feet angrily after hearing this, and her face turned red with anger.
"Biluo, let's go, let's go enjoy the peach blossoms!" Mu Yuqing and the two walked all the way through the garden, turned the rockery, and when they came to the lake, a little girl suddenly came, she Mu Yuqing blessed her body, and when Mu Yuqing passed by, she pushed her hand, and then immediately trotted around the rockery and ran. "Ah" Mu Yuqing and Biluo were defenseless against her sudden move, and fell into the fish pond a few times, wanting to sink.
"Miss!" Biluo looked at Mu Yuqing who was fluttering in the lake, and immediately jumped down to rescue, but she completely forgot that she couldn't swim, and jumped down and struggled in the water like Mu Yuqing.
Fang Yan over there chatted with someone else's son-in-law for a few words and then followed Mu Yuqing over, not thinking about the time of this meeting, she actually went to the pool with the maid.
Fang Yan didn't want to think about it, "plopped" and jumped into the water, swam to Mu Yuqing, scooped her up with one hand, and paddled to the shore with the other. When Li Chi saw his master jumping into the water, he immediately jumped into the water and rescued Biluo.
Mu Yuqing's shouting just now had already attracted the people who guessed the riddles, and the leader came with Su Zili and his party, and what they saw was Fang Yan and Li Chi carrying Mu Yuqing and Biluo ashore. After Mu Yuqing went ashore, she choked for a long time before she calmed down, but her body was wet, and it was summer, and the clothes she was wearing were relatively thin, and the clothes were all attached to her body when they were wet, and she could vaguely see a little spring light.
Mu Yuqing and Fang Yan stood in front of a bunch of people so awkwardly, like monkeys for people to amuse.
On the other side, Situ Qi was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study. In the imperial study, several prime ministers, princes, and generals all gathered together, "Everyone is here, I am so anxious to call you over because there is an urgent rumor at the border pass, and the barbarians have suddenly captured several county towns in the west, and now they are attacking all the way in the direction of Hanjing, and they are coming." ”
"It's strange, the barbarians have been guarding themselves for more than ten years, why did they suddenly attack our Tiannan Kingdom?"
"I'm afraid there's something going on that we don't know. However, the top priority is to stop the barbarian attack, I wonder if you can do anything? ”
"As for the border between Tiannan and Tianxi, no one has managed it for many years, plus it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its superior geographical location, we have all tried to capture the barbarians before, but we have all returned in vain, but we have lost our troops and lost our generals. And so is Tianxiguo. ”
"There's no way around it. Now it can only stop the barbarians from attacking again. As for the capture of the barbarians, that will be left for later. ”
The people of the Jinluan Palace, you and I talked about it one by one.
"All Aiqing are right, but do you have a suitable candidate now?" Emperor Lao Tzu sat on the dragon chair at a loss.
People underground, you look at me, I look at you, and no one stands up. We all know that the barbarians are brutal and ruthless, kill people without blinking, and use ruthless methods. Before, it was the old prince who repelled the barbarians with his own hands, and he died nine times, and he was seriously injured and almost died, but now the old prince has been dead for many years. A group of people didn't know who to let go.
Finally someone stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it was the old prince who personally repelled the barbarians, although the old prince is not here now, but the seventh prince is the son-in-law of the old prince, and received the teachings of the old prince, and the seventh prince returned triumphantly from the battlefield several times before, and won the admiration of the people. ”
The person who said this was none other than General Sima Zhao, who supported the emperor's party. Today's court is mainly based on the three major forces, supplemented by other forces, the three major forces are mainly the emperor's party, the prince's family, and the seven princes' family, and the rest is the power of several princes. As officials in the court, although they will be loyal to the emperor on the surface, they will still choose another lord and be loyal behind the scenes.
The people of the prince's family and the emperor's faction naturally wanted to weaken Situ Qi's power, and even wanted him to die. As a result, they all rushed to echo, including Wang Shangshu and Li Chengxiang of the princelings; Su Cheng, Prime Minister of the Emperor's Party, Situ Zhao and so on. The emperor originally wanted Situ Qi to go and exterminate the barbarians, but he lacked a reason, but now it's better.
Although he wanted Situ Qi to go, the emperor's superficial work still had to be done. "Then in that case, I don't know what the emperor's wishes are?"
And Situ Qi also knew that he couldn't shirk it this time, and they all said that the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister didn't dare not die, if he didn't go, maybe they would use the topic to play and let the emperor treat him for the crime of resisting the decree. "The younger brother is willing to go to the barbarian land to suppress the bandits."
"Okay, the emperor's brother is really a loyal and patriotic man, then I will order you to rest tomorrow for rectification, and lead the army to set off the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, since this matter is temporarily resolved, you can go back too!" The Emperor flicked his hands.
As soon as Situ Qi came out of the Jinluan Palace, he heard that Kill Yi stepped forward to report that Mu Yuqing had been pushed off the lake, he hurried over, and saw Mu Yuqing and Fang Yan standing wet on the shore, and a group of people next to him were still watching there, Mu Yuqing's clothes could faintly see the color of his belly pocket, fortunately, when he rushed over just now, he called Kill Yi to get two coats and prepare two sets of clothes.
He took the coat in Kill Yi's hand, walked quickly to Mu Yuqing's side, put on the coat for him, and handed one to Biluo.
"Come on, surround me here, someone wants to harm the five princes, and no one is allowed to leave until the murderer is found." With a shout, the Imperial Foresters surrounded the surroundings.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, this ....... However, some well-intentioned people can see that this is just a "lie" of the prince in order to get justice for Miss Mu. But he was forced to obey because of his rights.
"Biluo, you take the young lady and the fifth prince and others to change their clothes first, and then come over."
"Yes, lord." Biluo took a few people to change clothes first!
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Yuqing, Fang Yan and others appeared in front of everyone refreshingly.
"Girl, how is it, is there anything else uncomfortable? Biluo, tell me what happened just now, and see if the murderer is not at the scene? Situ Qi came to Mu Yuqing's side.
Biluo said all the things that happened when he fell into the water again.
"Anything else?"
"Lord Wang, the slave and maid recognize that the person who pushed Miss into the lake just now is the maid next to Miss Murong." After Biluo finished speaking, he put the riddle just now
What happened in the district was told again.
