Chapter 4 Tanuki for the Prince
Mu Lingyun took out the gold sore medicine, sat on the edge of the bed, and said indifferently: "I have thick skin, it's a big deal, as long as it doesn't affect you, I can stand it." ”
Xiangxue sighed, knowing why this young lady reacted so violently and disobeyed the Yang family, Mrs. was born in the rivers and lakes, and the rules of the official and wealthy families were not understood, not to mention the female celebrity six arts, which caused Mu Lingyun's talent to be shallow and not valued in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mu Lingyun is the most taboo for others to insult her mother, and Yang's injury is also to blame.
The Yang family knew that they couldn't match Mu Lingyun, and they couldn't beat her up with as much fanfare as they did in the last koi incident, Xiangye knew about it, and he would definitely not spare the Yang family, no matter how he said it, it was also a bloodline, so that Mu Lingyun was beaten and spread out, and the reputation of the Xiangfu was not good.
Such a scourge, since she can't eat it, she should be thrown away from others, the Yang family pressed the matter of Mu Lingyun sneaking out, and began to blow the pillow wind to the prime minister, asking him to arrange for Mu Lingyun to marry as soon as possible. Even if there was news of harmony in the court, the Yang family was very active in suggesting that Mu Lingyun should be given the title of county lord and marry a barbarian to repay the country's kindness.
The prime minister listened to it as gossip, but after listening to it too much, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said a shocking news, which made Yang dumbfounded.
Although Yang knew that Lie Zhanying was married because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor in the war, he did not know how affectionate the emperor was for this benefactor, and after Lie Zhanying's unfortunate untimely death, he regretted it and summoned Li Wei to make the benefactor's only daughter the future crown princess.
The crown princess, who is the queen candidate above 10,000 people under one person in the future, how noble her identity is.
After Yang's shock, he was even more unwilling, even if he couldn't control this reckless girl in front of him, he would have to be pressed under her feet for the rest of his life and couldn't raise his head, Yang's heart was full of hatred at the moment.
The desire to deal with this scourge came to naught, and there was a thunderbolt from the blue, and the Yang family obeyed the prime minister on the surface, and immediately found Mu Lingyan in private to discuss the plan.
As the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Lingyan has been carefully carved by the Yang family as her own masterpiece from below, she is twenty-nine years old, and her talent and appearance are well-known in the capital, and she has broken through the threshold of courtship, but the Yang family can't look down on any of them.
Mu Lingyan's vision is also not good, he thinks that he was born rich and noble, and his biggest goal in this life is to become a master and a queen.
After the Yang family said that Mu Lingyun was the crown princess, Mu Lingyan was jealous and angry, and pulled the hem of Yang's clothes and said bluntly, Yang comforted Mu Lingyan and pulled her to tell her her plan, and Mu Lingyan immediately agreed to her mother's plan.
No one has stepped in Luoying Courtyard for a long time, especially the person who came is still the eldest lady of the Xiangfu who has not been dealt with since childhood, Mu Lingyan, Xiangxue has no good face as a maid, let alone Mu Lingyun.
Mu Lingyan couldn't help but be unwilling, and spared no effort to apologize for his mother, and also brought many gifts of reparation and goodwill.
Mu Lingyun didn't talk much, but the gifts were unceremoniously accepted in full, looking at the expensive gifts, Mu Lingyun silently watched the eldest lady play a one-man show, and talked to Mu Lingyun about his daughter's family.
After listening to it many times, Mu Lingyun was careless, and he also heard the eldest sister's love for Jin Shaolin, the crown prince of the dynasty, with a look of longing and begging, if Mu Lingyun is a man, I really want to see mercy.
Mu Lingyun listened to this kind of obscure matter of children's affection, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "You like the prince, you go to him and tell me, what's the use!" ”
Mu Lingyan's face turned red for a moment, and tears of grievance rushed out of his eyes, wringing his handkerchief, and said in a muffled voice: "I never wanted to, but my father said that the fourth sister and the prince have had a marriage contract since childhood, how can I step in and win people's love......"
Although Mu Lingyun is heroic, he is not stupid, he finally knows what is going on with the eldest lady's hypocrisy and grievances these days, it turns out that she is here to dig the foot of the wall.
Mu Lingyun didn't know about the marriage, he was young at the time, and the prime minister felt that it was meaningless to talk to her, plus Mu Lingyun usually had no strong sense of existence in the prime minister's mansion except for occasional troubles, if it weren't for the Yang family mentioning that he was going to marry her, the prime minister himself would have forgotten that there was still a marriage gift.
Over the years, the prime minister has not treated this fourth lady harshly, and the food and clothing are all according to the specifications of Miss Yan, but he doesn't know that the case silver in Mu Lingyun's hands has long been deducted by the Yang family.
Mu Lingyan is the same as the Yang family, he is very thoughtful, Mu Lingyun did not clearly say his attitude, and said vaguely: "Marriage matters are all ordered by parents, the words of the matchmaker, my sister is still young, I can't figure out these twists and turns, if you really love the prince, you go to your father to intercede, it is better than spending time in me, and be careful to consume your pot of daylily is cold." ”
Mu Lingyan's sarcastic face turned red and white, and he had to pretend to be demure and gentle, and politely said goodbye and left Luoying Courtyard.
At that time, the Yang family instilled in the prime minister that Mu Lingyan was the best candidate for the crown princess, and exposed Mu Lingyun's perennial unruliness, mixed in the market and other bad deeds, and threatened that Mu Lingyun would definitely get into trouble if he became the crown princess, affecting everyone in the prime minister's mansion.
The prime minister knew that Mu Lingyun's character and talent were not the best choice, but this was a marriage contract given by the emperor, where was there room for him to put his beak.
But Yang's admonition is not alarmist, no matter how much nonsense you do in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is harmless, and marrying into the royal family is different, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Mu Lingyun's such a straightforward and reckless character is destined to suffer losses and cause trouble, and in the future, there will be three thousand harems, and Mu Lingyun will definitely not be able to parry.
At the moment when the prime minister showed his laxity, the Yang family immediately offered a plan to let the prime minister change the civet cat for the prince and the candidate for the crown princess.
The prime minister angrily rejected this plan to bully the monarch, and the Yang family changed the offensive and persuaded him softly, asking him to remove Mu Lingyun from the candidacy of the crown princess on the grounds that Mu Lingyun had promised the former prince.
Speaking of the former prince Jin Shaochen, the prime minister's eyes darkened, he was planning to unite with the current prince Jin Shaolin to bring him down, so that Jin Shaochen hated and died to prove his innocence.
The prime minister was still a little wavering, and did not agree with this method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, the Yang family did not give up, and begged to arrange a meeting between the prince and Mu Lingyan, if the prince personally asked to marry Mu Lingyan, it would be a matter of course.
In the end, the prime minister agreed to Yang's request and promised to let the two meet.
The two were arranged to meet by chance in the Imperial Garden, and the two who disguised each other hit it off at first sight, the prince liked Mu Lingyun very much in this famous capital, and after hearing that Mu Lingyun had a vulgar taste and rude behavior, he fell even more infatuated with the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The prince and the prime minister have been secretly talking about the song for a long time, implying that he likes Mu Lingyan more, and asked the prime minister to let him marry the woman he likes.
At this point, the prime minister is not good to do nothing, and actively prepares for the tanuki to change the prince. When the founding emperor of the dynasty Rong Ma was a lifelong man, he was wise and martial, and he knew that he would definitely oppose this matter, so secretly changing people became the only way out.
The prime minister ordered someone to mention the matter of the crown prince's concubine in the court, and sure enough, the emperor was very happy, and immediately ordered the prime minister's concubine to marry into the East Palace.
The prince's wedding, the capital was full of joy, Mu Lingyan proudly wore a phoenix crown and xia veil, held the hand of the beloved man, and stayed in the East Palace as he wished, becoming the extremely noble princess.
When he went to greet the emperor and empress the next day, the emperor immediately recognized that the crown princess was not the daughter of his benefactor, and summoned all the people in the prime minister's mansion at once, and the palace of the heart was full of people.
Asking for sin, interceding, only the person concerned, Mu Lingyun, stood quietly aside, coldly watching the performance of a group of hypocritical people crying bitterly.
Yesterday, when Mu Lingyan got married, when the whole country was celebrating and lively, the prime minister stepped into the deserted Luoying Courtyard, and persuaded Mu Lingyun to cooperate this time, so that the eldest sister could marry into the East Palace as she wished, win glory for her Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the same time block the deception of the inner courtyard of the palace for Mu Lingyun.
Her father pulled down her old face, Mu Lingyun couldn't refuse, besides, she really didn't want to get married, let alone a man she had never seen before. After thinking about it, the man that a hypocritical person like Mu Lingyan likes is no better, even if it is spared.
The emperor was two big, he didn't listen to the prime minister's clever words, nor did he pay attention to Mu Lingyan's crying and heartfelt complaints, and turned his face and asked the prince solemnly: "Does the prince know about this, what do you think?" ”
Although the crown prince had already prepared to face this scene, the emperor's sharp words made him suddenly timid, and he muttered for a while, and said: "My son doesn't know, but Yan'er and I worshipped the prince of heaven and earth yesterday, and she is already my wife, so I naturally want to protect her to the end." As for the fourth lady, maybe there is a better Lang Jun suitable for her. ”
The emperor was overjoyed and angry after hearing this, which made the atmosphere in the palace very solemn, and now that the two of them cooked raw rice, the emperor had a feeling of being kept in the dark.
At this time, the queen suddenly spoke up, with an inappropriate smile, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is a happy event for the crown prince, look at the current situation, it is too beautiful." Since the prince and his wife have the same affection, the emperor might as well fulfill this good relationship and don't pursue it anymore. ”
The words were full of favoritism, but the emperor was not old and confused, and asked Mu Lingyun with a calm face: "What does the fourth lady have to say about this matter?" If you have any grievances, don't hide them at this moment, you can talk about it! I'm going to make the decisions for you! ”
The one who knelt on the ground suddenly held his breath and condensed, the emperor attached great importance to the opinions of the parties, and Mu Lingyun's opening was enough to cut off the future and even the lives of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mu Lingyun glanced at the Yang family and Mu Lingyan under his feet without a trace, his eyes fell on the prime minister's trembling pleading gaze, turned his face and knelt down towards the emperor, and said calmly: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the courtiers often hear the eldest sister's admiration for the prince in the boudoir, and I really can't bear to have a lover and become a family, so I volunteer to be an adult and let the eldest sister marry instead." ”
The emperor narrowed his eyes quietly, and looked at Mu Lingyun with an expressionless face, and he quickly saw that Mu Lingyun was forced to say this, and her words precipitated the ridiculous farce in front of him, and also gave the emperor a step down.
Since Mu Lingyun had no objections, the emperor had nothing to say, and acquiesced in Mu Lingyan replacing Mu Lingyun as the crown princess.
