Chapter 225: Unfinished
finally went to see the queen once, and touched a nose of ash, Zhuang Chenchen was a little sullen.
After reading the excerpt, I don't know what to do.
"Has the emperor heard about something?" Liang Bao brought the tea up, and his tone was full of joy.
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Chenchen didn't answer the teacup, just asked.
Cen Xiang welcomed a new lady into the house. said that he quietly led people in, and after eating a meal in the house, it was considered to be done. Many adults in the DPRK don't know about it yet. ”
"Your ears are well-informed." Zhuang Chenchen didn't hear the wind either, so he couldn't help but wonder how Liang Bao knew.
"It's not that the slave deliberately inquired, it's that the slave has a little fellow villager who is serving in the Prime Minister's Mansion. That Sunrise Palace happened to meet him, and I heard him say this. also said that the eldest young master of the Cen family, Prince Mu Feng was very angry, and he was still reluctant to step into the mansion. ”
"Yes." Zhuang Chenchen thought that Cen Mufeng had been clever in his recent affairs, and there was nothing wrong with him: "He is good at covering it up." ”
After a slight pause, Zhuang Chenchen felt that something was not quite right: "You go, pass Cen Mufeng here." ”
"Yes." Liang Bao hurriedly retreated.
After a while, Cen Mufeng respectfully entered the hall to say goodbye. "The emperor summoned Weichen, I don't know what to order."
"Is there a happy event in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently?" Zhuang Yanchen frowned and asked.
Cen Mufeng was slightly surprised, and then shook his head: "Weichen doesn't think it's a happy event, but since the emperor knows, Weichen doesn't dare to hide it." A few days ago, my father greeted a lady who continued to string. Hmph, this is already the third lady.
"Who is it?" Zhuang Chenchen was a little curious.
"The emperor forgives the sin, and Weichen doesn't know it." Cen Mufeng was annoyed: "Since I knew about this, Weichen has never returned to the mansion. If it weren't for the emperor's inquiry, Weichen wouldn't want to think about it. ”
"That's it." Zhuang Chenchen waved his hand: "I have another thing for you to do. ”
"But please ask the emperor to command." Cen Mufeng arched his hand, showing a respectful look.
"You go and replace the two major generals of the Chu family and fight side by side with General Chu." Zhuang Chen's eyes sank slightly, and his tone was a little cold: "Tell General Chu that I have other important matters and need the assistance of two young generals." ordered the two of them to return to the city immediately to report on their work. ”
"Yes." Cen Mufeng said again: "Weichen will leave tomorrow morning. ”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's not too late for you to settle down at home and then set off." Zhuang Chenchen stared at him.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has nothing to settle down." Cen Mufeng said respectfully: "As long as you pack your bags, you can go." ”
It could be seen that he was very resolute, and he really had a dislike for Cen Xiang, Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help but nod: "Then let's do it." ”
"Yes." Cen Mufeng saluted respectfully: "Weichen retreats." ”
"Wait." Zhuang Chenchen felt that it was inconvenient for him to go to the queen to tell the queen about this matter. After a little thought, he said again: "Go and talk to the queen before leaving." It's good to put her at ease. ”
The emperor's meaning, Cen Mufeng can still understand. He nodded slightly: "Weichen will go to the queen mother to bid farewell later." ”
By this time, it had already shifted westward. Cen Mufeng walked from Qingxuan Hall to Fengling Hall for half an hour. Every step is like moving your feet on the ground. Finally walked to the Qingxuan Palace, he didn't go in immediately, but paced back and forth outside, thinking about how to speak when he saw the queen later.
"What are you doing here?" Cen Muning happened to come out, and he was going to the prayer hall to burn the scriptures he had recently copied, but he couldn't help but be surprised to see him going back and forth here. "Is there something going on?"
"The Queen." Cen Mufeng hurriedly saluted: "The emperor only ordered Weichen to go out of the palace on an errand and leave tomorrow morning." Weichen came over to say goodbye to his mother. ”
"Qingli, you burned the scriptures for the palace." Cen Muning frowned slightly.
"Yes." Qingli agreed neatly and led the two small palace maids to leave together.
"Come with me into the temple and talk about it!" Cen Muning turned around and walked away with Bingling's hand, and Cen Mufeng followed behind her.
The palace maids served tea and brought some melons and fruits. Cen Muning immediately withdrew from the crowd and let Bingling wait outside the door before asking him, "What happened?" Are you worried about the danger of this trip before you came to tell Hongu? Sit down and talk. ”
"A manly man, how can you be afraid of danger when you fight for the imperial court. Besides, I made a mistake at the beginning, if the emperor hadn't given me a chance, where would I be today. Even if I want to repay the emperor's kindness with my life, it is not impossible. I'm not going to back down at all. Cen Mufeng hesitated, but sat down.
"You are not afraid of life and death, you can look down on it, you know what you should do, and you also have the court in your heart, so what else can you not say?" Cen Muning was even more curious.
"Father...... A new lady was welcomed into the house......" When Cen Mufeng spoke, he deliberately paid attention to Cen Muning's face. Sure enough, her eyebrows tightened, her eyes tightened, and a smile like frost appeared on the corners of her lips. "It turned out to be for this."
"I'm not going to let you know, but word has gotten out. Sooner or later you'll know. Rather than hear it from other people's mouths, I'll tell it. Anyway, we are all members of the Cen family. Cen Mufeng frowned and said, "Since that day, I have never set foot in the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion again. Although you and I are reluctant to do this, there is nothing we can do. Queen Mother, I know that my father has been unfair to you, and you have resentment in your heart, but ......"
"Alright, don't talk about it." Cen Muning interrupted him, and his tone was slightly stagnant: "My father and I may not be unfair. He wanted my life several times, but if he was someone else, he would have filled his life a long time ago. But just because it's him, I don't have to pay the price for it at all, even if I'm now the queen, he still doesn't value my mother and the reputation of the Prime Minister's house. Maybe it's because I have an indifferent relationship with his father and daughter. ”
"Queen Mother, Weichen knows that many things are owed by your father to you and your mother. Although I am a concubine, I have never been filial to my mother for a day, but I finally understand this truth. It's just that...... Father is father after all, no matter how wrong he is, he also gave you and me life. ”
"Filial piety and foolishness are two different things." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "I'm a person, I will report that you know." If one day, my father is cruel to me, my patience has reached the limit, and I will never tolerate it again, you better know this. ”
Cen Mufeng thought for a while, got up and knelt down at her: "Weichen is willing to be loyal to his mother in the future, obey his mother's orders, and only ask his mother to raise his noble hand and forgive his father." The major general of the Chu family is no longer there, and Weichen is willing to replace him and serve you. ”
"My cousin has never wanted to serve me, let alone serve me. When he was alive, there was only one pity in his heart, and he finally died at her hands. As for you, we have been fighting for so many years, there are losses and wins, why is it this time, only to think about giving in, you can be tough to the end. ”
"Queen Mother, after all, you are also the daughter of the Cen family. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have been able to become Princess Ruiming. Even if the Cen family treats you badly, there is always one good, Weichen begs you to read it as well as this, just let go of your father. ”
"I said, it's okay. As long as you don't force me to be ruthless. Cen Muning waved his hand and motioned for him to get up. What did the emperor order you to do? ”
"Replace the two major generals of the Chu family and fight side by side with General Chu." Cen Mufeng replied truthfully.
"Oh." Cen Muning didn't ask again: "You leave tomorrow morning, I'll let Bingling take care of it for you later." ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the queen, but you don't have to bother Miss Bingling, I'm a bachelor with good things. It's just that when I'm not in the palace, I ask my mother to be careful about everything. Cen Mufeng can be regarded as making peace with her. Over the years, fighting openly and secretly, and squeezing each other, he really didn't treat the sister born to his mother-in-law as a girl at all, and her methods were really unbearable.
But now, thinking of his belated brother-sister relationship, she may not be too cruel to her father......
"Don't worry, I will also arrange the things that should be arranged in the palace." Cen Mufeng arched his hand: "Weichen retreated." ”
"Okay." Cen Mu stared at him and left, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Bingling's eyes were red when he walked in. "Did you hear it all?"
"Yes." Bingling nodded: "Madame is really not worth it, everything is for Xiangye, for Xiangfu, but when she is gone, except for Miss and the slave, who else will remember." These people have no conscience at all, and the slave and maid really want to wipe out the entire prime minister's mansion with a knife. ”
"There is a saying that Cen Mufeng is right." Cen Mu sighed faintly: "A very important reason why I can become Princess Ruiming is because of my background. In addition to giving me the hatred that was on the verge of life and death, Cen Xiangfu also gave me this life. What's more, my mother may not want to see me break with them, as long as he doesn't do anything more excessive. ”
"This young lady can rest assured." Bingling sneered: "Now that the emperor has even handed over the only prince to you to raise, Cen Xiang doesn't know how to slap you in his heart." Where dare to mess with the wrist. He was not afraid that he would have no future. ”
"Don't talk about that." Cen Muning returned to her usual look: "You go to investigate, why did the emperor suddenly let Cen Mufeng take over the two young generals of the Chu family." I always feel like I'm about to change generals, and there may be something boring in this. ”
"Yes." Bingling respectfully responded: "The slave will go and check." ”
"In addition, the people who Cen Mufeng stayed in the palace were all moved to the open, and they still couldn't believe it in private." Cen Mu Ning said uneasily: "Around us, there are eyeliner everywhere, especially when Zizhou comes, everyone is expecting me to make a mistake." Caution is the most important thing. ”
"Yes." Bingling nodded solemnly: "Miss is right, now is not the time to be sad, what we have to do is not finished yet!" ”
