Mu Mingshu's face, which was still smiling, suddenly became frosty.

Even though the matter of the Xishan Villa was unbearable, she never thought that someone would dare to spread this matter to Zhao Ziyue's ears, Mu Mingshu's heart was cold, could it be that Yina's hand was already stretched out so long? Even the palace has her ear wire?

Mu Mingshu didn't dare to think deeply, so he only scolded sharply: "Where did you hear these words?" How can you, a dignified prince, talk about these palace affairs like that broken-mouthed woman? ”

Zhao Ziyue just listened to what the little palace maid said, and he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, for him, his father would never do anything sorry for the queen mother, because he didn't think about it at all, and when he came to Mu Mingshu, he just wanted to ask Princess Na Xiliang if she made a big fuss about her birthday banquet.

But who knew that Mu Mingshu was so angry, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Don't be angry, the child just listened to what the little palace maid said in the corridor, not intentionally"

"Ziyue, you are a dignified prince, the only son-in-law of your father, and you will be a person who will do great things in the future, and your eyes and ears naturally can't be placed in the harem, do you know where your mistakes are?" Mu Mingshu didn't wait for Zhao Ziyue to finish speaking, then interrupted him, her son is not an ordinary person, in the future, he will not only have to protect himself, but also the entire Mu family, how can he interfere in the affairs of the harem, no matter how messy and dirty this harem is in the future, she doesn't want him to be contaminated.

Zhao Ziyue's expression was solemn, kneeling straight, he glanced at Mu Mingshu's cold face, and then said: "The child shouldn't ask about the harem, the child knows that he is wrong." ”

"Get up." Mu Mingshu said in a flat tone, and took a step into the hall.

It seems that Zhao Ziyue is no longer suitable to live in Kunning Palace, Mu Mingshu thought to herself, she must train a few useful people for him, and he will move out of the harem as soon as possible.

But when he thought that he was about to be separated from himself at such a young age, Mu Mingshu felt unspeakably sad in his heart.

Zhao Ziyue followed Mu Mingshu into the hall, and seriously admitted his mistake again, which was why Mu Mingshu sent away: "You have a lot of homework, except for the morning and dusk, if you have nothing to do, you don't have to come to the queen mother." ”

Zhao Ziyue is not very old in the end, and there is a lot of unhappiness on his face, but he doesn't dare to be disobedient and leaves.

Mu Mingshu sat in the empty hall, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart, in this world, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, just like her, if you want to protect the Mu family, you must not live an ordinary life; But if she wants to live a more relaxed life, then the Mu family may not be able to ask her to protect her.

No matter how tired she is on the road ahead, she always has to go on well, whether it is for Ziyue, the Mu family, or for herself.

"Go and call the wonderful books and paintings." Mu Mingshu's feelings were only for a while, and after the sadness, he continued to cheer up.

Miaoqi went in response, Miaoqin sent the palace in, and after giving Mu Mingshu Da'an, he said: "Niangniang, Princess An has been placed in the Zhuyan Hall of the Pavilion, and the slaves and maids have transferred a few competent palace maids to guard them, and the people sent by the emperor have also arrived." ”

"Hmm." Mu Mingshu pressed his abruptly jumping temples and said: "Let people watch closely, see if there is anyone in this palace who is secretly in contact with Princess An, just write down who it is, you don't have to startle the snake." ”

"Yes." Miaoqin said: "Niangniang, is there still Princess An's people in this palace?" ”

Mu Mingshu sneered: "Her hand is stretched out, not only in this palace, but also in this palace, there are people in this Kunning Palace." ”

Miaoqin was shocked, and then her face was full of anger: "Which thing that doesn't open its eyes dares to eat inside and outside, and the slave maid will find out these people." ”

"Money can make ghosts grind, you don't have to be nervous, just find people out and keep an eye on them." Mu Mingshu said: "Also, you go and find some reliable palace maids and eunuchs for the palace, it's time to train some people for the eldest prince." ”

"Niangniang, the eldest prince is still young now, is Niangniang going to make him independent?" Miaoqin is not a fool, as soon as Mu Mingshu said it, she understood why she had to train palace people for Zhao Ziyue so early.

"It's okay, it's not needed now, and sooner or later it will be used, you can go."

Miaoqin withdrew and didn't take half a pillar of incense time, and Mu Mingshu came before he finished using up the wonderful book and wonderful painting.

As soon as the two entered the temple, they knelt down and bowed to plead guilty.

Mu Mingshu looked at the two fairly stable little girls in front of him condescendingly, and asked with a smile: "In the days when the palace is not in the palace, you have taken care of the eldest prince meritoriously, why do you come to ask for guilt." ”

Miaoshu and wonderful paintings can make Mu Mingshu value Zhao Ziyue's side to serve, naturally it is a transparent person, the two kowtowed a few times together, and Miaoshu said: "It's all the fault of the slaves and maids, it is the slaves and maids who did not restrain the palace maids who bowed their heads, and told them to break their mouths in front of the eldest prince, and ask the mother to punish them." ”

Mu Mingshu took a sip of his favorite Lu'an melon slices with a sweet white porcelain tea bowl, and didn't speak for a while, calling the wonderful books and paintings kneeling on the ground so frightened that he was dripping with cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly.

"Do you know who broke his mouth in front of the Great Prince?" Mu Mingshu looked at the two of them for a long time, and then slowed down his voice.

"I know, it's two palace maids who sprinkle sweeping, called Cui'e and Qing'e, and the slaves and maids have already locked them up and thought about it behind closed doors." Miaoshu said busily.

Mu Mingshu set his eyes on Miaoshu and looked her up and down, then he said lightly "um", and said, "Throw it away, you two will be punished for half a year." ”

"Yes, thank you Niangniang, thank you Niangniang." The forehead of the wonderful book and the wonderful painting is close to the jade floor tiles, and there is a feeling of picking up a life.

Mu Mingshu's voice turned and he said sharply: "If this palace finds out that there is such a thing again, you don't have to live." ”

This Mu Mingshu was in the hall to shock the wonderful books and paintings, and Zhao Ziyue pulled the wonderful qin and hid in a remote corner and was also asking.

"Sister Miaoqin, tell me honestly, what happened to Princess Xiliang at the queen mother's birthday banquet to make her so angry."

Miaoqin was one head and two big, and she was busy kneeling down and begging: "The eldest prince, these are all harem matters, don't ask, okay?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Ziyue resolutely: "You also know that I am the son of the queen mother, as the son of the queen mother, but everything is well protected, how can I feel at ease." ”

"The eldest prince, as long as you study and practice martial arts, you will become stronger, and you will be able to protect the queen in the future, you don't have to blame yourself." Miaoqin persuaded softly: "As for what happened in the Xishan Courtyard, don't ask too much, it's not a good thing, even if you say it, it will only pollute your ears." ”

"Besides, the queen doesn't let you know it's for your own good, so don't embarrass the slave."

Although Zhao Ziyue is young, his mind is already beyond his own age, his phoenix eyes that inherited Zhao Yiheng narrowed slightly, his hands clenched into fists, and suddenly hooked up a smile and said: "Okay, Sister Miaoqin doesn't say it, the prince will ask, there will always be someone willing to tell the prince." ”

As he spoke, he really lifted his steps and was about to leave, without the slightest hesitation.

Miaoqin was shocked, Mu Mingshu didn't want Zhao Ziyue to know, if he knew that he had inquired about the Xishan Courtyard in the harem, he would definitely be angry, and maybe he would have made Zhao Ziyue independent early.

Hurriedly grabbed the hem of his robe and begged: "The eldest prince, don't go, the queen will be angry." ”

Zhao Ziyue didn't really want to ask someone, and when he saw that he was scared Miaoqin, he also stopped and asked expressionlessly: "Then you say." ”

Miaoqin bit her lip, but she had any scruples, but she heard Zhao Ziyue say again: "Don't worry, no third person will know what your prince said today." ”

Just from today's situation when Zhao Ziyue blocked his own way and dug a pit to make him jump, Miaoqin knew that the eldest prince was mentally mature, and now that she had his guarantee, she would not twist, and simply said about the Xishan Courtyard, and finally said: "The eldest prince, these are some dirty things, the queen doesn't want you to know it's also for your own good, today the slave told you, and I beg you to just hear it." ”

Zhao Ziyue's hands were clenched tightly, his eyebrows were frowned, and there was still a trace of resentment on his face, and it took a long time for him to restrain his emotions, and he said lightly: "This prince knows, you go on an errand." ”

"The Great Prince?" Miaoqin was a little unsure: "You must not make trouble about this, the queen mother is not happy now, you just"

Zhao Ziyue interrupted her: "I know, you go and get busy, this prince will not be reckless." ”

Miaoqin looked at Zhao Ziyue, gritted her teeth and bowed back, anyway, she had already said something, and she could only beg the eldest prince not to be impulsive.

Let's say that Mu Mingshu went to the Xishan Courtyard for many days, and the palace affairs of the harem were piled up into a mountain, and after arranging Yina and disposing of the two palace maids with broken mouths, she plunged into the mountain of palace affairs, and was busy until dinner, when she suddenly remembered that there was still an important thing to do.

Miaoqin was giving Mu Mingshu a dish, and when she saw that her face was pale, she asked, "Niangniang, but this meal is not in harmony?" ”

Mu Mingshu put down his chopsticks: "I don't have an appetite." He also said: "There have been a lot of things recently, and I am upset, you can go to Mu Mansion early tomorrow morning and ask Mrs. Mu and Young Mrs. Wen to bring Yunyi's girl into the palace to let the palace take a look." ”

"Yes, the slave will go early tomorrow morning."

Miaoqin left the palace early the next morning, and before the Mu family came, Miaoqi hurriedly rushed in from outside, saw a room of palace maids hurriedly retreated, and took a few steps forward and whispered a few words in Mu Mingshu's ear.

Mu Mingshu was stunned, and suddenly exuded a cold air all over his body, and his eyes stared at Miaoqi and asked, "Is the news reliable?" Are all dead and clean? ”

Miaoqi looked nervous, but nodded cautiously: "Niangniang, the news is reliable, and they are all dead." ”
