Chapter 50: Entering the Rui King's Mansion (2)
In the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, there is still singing and dancing, the cups are staggered, it is really the smell of Zhumen wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road, there has been a famine in the Great Xia Kingdom in the past two years, fortunately, in the past two years, the Great Xia Kingdom does not have to pay the defeated silver taels, and there are compensation from the other three countries, so that they can barely get through this difficulty, otherwise I really don't know what will happen, Mu Ning looked at the emperor Zheng Hong who was sitting at the top, and secretly calculated in his heart.
At this time, the emperor Zheng Hong was also secretly calculating, he had sent someone to investigate the situation in Xuanning City, the speed of development of Xuanning City made Zheng Hong very worried, but the vitality of Xuanning City caused Zheng Hong's greed, he wanted to get this city, but he didn't want to pay the rent and taxes of the city, he really wanted to take advantage of it, but how could there be such a cheap thing in the world, Zheng Hong's eyes looked at Mu Ning's side, and it happened that Mu Ning's eyes also fell on him, the eyes of these two people happened to collide, Zheng Hong smiled, Mu Ning also smiled and nodded, Zheng Hong wants Mu Ning's Xuanning City, and Mu Ning also wants Zheng Hong's Anxi City, I really don't know who will kill the deer!
Every palace banquet is in the same form, after three rounds of drinking, singing and dancing a few times, and the ministers and officials are free to play, which makes Mu Ning very bored, if she didn't come for a purpose, she wouldn't come, she would rather play chess with Zheng Xuan, although Mu Ning hates playing chess, but it's better than looking at Zheng Hong's fake benevolence and righteousness here.
Hua Ying and Shangguan Yuan didn't sit together, he still had a table with the sixth prince Zheng Cong, he and Shangguan Yuan had been married for almost two years, and he still hadn't figured out how he got together with Shangguan Yuan after that palace banquet, but in full view of everyone, he couldn't argue even if he had a hundred mouths, so he could only marry Shangguan Yuan.
Zheng Cong, the sixth prince, calculated that his cousin Hua Ying and Shangguan Yuan would get married, although he had always felt sorry in his heart, but if Hua Ying had never been married, he would never be able to rob his cousin's sweetheart, Hua Ying would talk about Mu Ning every time he saw him, it can be seen that his cousin has a deep affection for Mu Ning, if he let his cousin know his thoughts, it would be troublesome, and he could only do so, but it's a pity, God doesn't follow people's wishes, Mu Ning still married Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Cong and Hua Ying saw Mu Ning and Zheng Xuan sitting together, their hearts were mixed, especially Hua Ying, he hadn't seen Mu Ning for two years, and now Mu Ning is completely transformed, and his eyebrows are more and more exciting, and because Mu Ning is already the lord of a city, he has experienced experience, and his bearing has been very different, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, these are addictive, Hua Ying looked at Mu Ning on the opposite side greedily, and the wine glass in his hand was tightly held, Why can't such a beautiful person belong to himself, why? Zheng Cong, the sixth prince, was in the same mood as Hua Ying at this time, and his heart was full of indignation, why?
At this time, Shangguan Yuan was even more angry, although she didn't like Hua Ying, but Hua Ying was her husband after all, but now at the palace banquet, in front of the eyelids of so many civil and military ministers, she still didn't know how to avoid suspicion, and stared at Mu Ning so directly, which made Shangguan Yuan very angry with Mu Ning, how could this Mu Ning's luck be so good, not only married Zheng Xuan, the son of King Rui, but also let her husband miss her, which is really envious and jealous.
Now Mu Ning doesn't know what other people are thinking, she is holding a fruit in the palm of her hand and playing around, but her brain is thinking quickly, thinking of countermeasures, just now she and the emperor Zheng Hong's eyes met, Zheng Hong's expression made her feel that something might happen, but now what can make the emperor Zheng Hong feel threatened, there will be no other than his own Xuanning City, hum, my Xuanning City is not the former Rui Wangfu, besides, I am not the Rui Wang Zheng Xun, Mu Ning didn't know why Zheng Xun, the prince of Rui, gave in so much to the emperor Zheng Hong, but she couldn't control that, as long as Zheng Hong didn't come to provoke Zheng Xuan and herself, otherwise she would kill a bloody road, Mu Ning thought that she was still sure.
Mu Ning pondered, Zheng Xuan put the picked fish in a spoon and stretched it out to Mu Ning's mouth, Mu Ning also opened his mouth directly to eat, Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning's interaction at the banquet simply blinded the eyes of those dignitaries; Mu Ning's friends and sisters are sincerely happy for Mu Ning, Mu Ning's personality is not like everyone's beautiful girl, in the eyes of the nobles of this era, it is different, not a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of those nobles, but now they have found their own beautiful happiness, I don't know how many times happier than those aristocratic couples, so that these sisters are also full of longing for their future happiness.
Just when the officials toasted each other, the nobles, boys and girls chanted poems against each other, and the whole hall was lively, an abrupt word suddenly sounded, which suddenly stopped the excitement of the hall, and Liu Guifei, the sister of Concubine Liu of Rui Wangfu, said: "The prince has been married for more than half a year, I don't know that the princess can see that she is happy, and the prince is not young, so she should give birth to a little prince and grandson for Rui Wangfu earlier, and the princess also thinks so." Although Liu Guifei had a lovely smile on her face, she hated Mu Ning to death in her heart, her sister Liu Fangfei had been in Rui Wangfu for so many years, and she wanted to be windy and rainy, but she didn't expect a little Mu Ning to ruin all this, and her sister always went back to her parents' house to cry, and she also cried with herself, and she also mentioned it to the emperor Zheng Hong, begging the emperor to help her sister intercede, but the emperor didn't agree, and her mother could only return all the silver taels that she had coveted from Rui Wangfu for so many years, what a lot of silver taels, Liu Guifei gritted her teeth with hatred for Mu Ning, and she wanted to kill Mu Ning, and she wanted Mu Ning to disappear from this world immediately.
Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning were stunned when they heard it at the time, this Liu Guifei is sick in the brain, can such a private question be said on such an occasion? Besides, who are you Liu Guifei Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning, is this question worthy of you Liu Guifei to ask? Mu Ning directly turned around the door of his head with his hand a few times, and asked Zheng Xuan: "Does she have a problem with her brain?" And Zheng Xuan also replied solemnly: "It should be, but I haven't heard of it before, but today is really eye-opening." Mu Ning saw Zheng Xuan playing with him so seriously, and his heart was full of happiness, what more could he ask for if he had a husband like this.
Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning's actions, everyone in the hall watched, many people were enduring, but because of Liu Guifei's identity, they could only endure it alive, so as not to cause trouble for themselves; But the other concubines of Emperor Zheng Hong didn't care, as if they were afraid that the matter would not be big enough, they also chattered one after another, so angry that Liu Guifei sent her anger to Mu Ning even more.
Liu Guifei raised her voice and said sternly to Mu Ning: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, since the princess married into the Rui Palace, she should give birth to an heir for the palace as soon as possible, if not, she should give way, so that other women from the family can have children for the son, do you say this is the case?" After Liu Guifei said this, she also raised her head at Mu Ning, provocative on her toes; Mu Ning sighed secretly, didn't you see it, the emperor Zheng Hong's hint to you just now, although your move was acquiesced by the emperor Zheng Hong, but you chose the wrong object of provocation, today I want to teach you what it means not to be immortal, otherwise I will write the word Mu Ning upside down, and let you know that the emperor Zheng Hong's so-called favor for you is just like a cloud of smoke, and if you want to discard it, it is no different from discarding garbage.
Mu Ning took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "What the concubine Niangniang said is very reasonable, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, it is indeed a famous saying through the ages, but dare to ask the concubine Niangniang, can you tell me, you have been in the palace for decades, how many sons and daughters can you give birth to for the emperor?" Mu Ning's words stirred up a thousand waves, the whole hall was silent, and the entire banquet was silent, and Liu Guifei was even more frightened, yes, she had been in the palace for decades without children and daughters, if it weren't for her strong family background, how could she sit in the position of a concubine, I am afraid that she would have spent her life in this deep palace like those concubines who have no favors and no children.
Mu Ning looked at Liu Guifei's face full of panic, and felt a little unbearable, but if she stopped now, it would inevitably bring more trouble to the Rui Wangfu, so she continued to speak: "I think all the ministers here know what happened in the Rui Wangfu Mansion recently, hmph, what other family women, they are all greedy for money from the Mofu family, deceiving the name and stealing the world, on the surface, they look docile and kind, but secretly they are doing shameless deeds, if it weren't for my father-in-law Rui Wang Ye and mother-in-law Rui Princess Rui are kind-hearted, As far as the few side concubines in the palace who were born in the so-called famous families did, it is light to directly abandon and drive out of the Rui Wangfu, and you also know that Concubine Liu of the Rui Wangfu is the sister of this noble concubine, or her own sister, my sister has been taught by the family, sister, hum, everyone thinks for themselves, what is the so-called family woman, in the eyes of my husband, it is a grass, right, husband. Zheng Xuan also replied in a kind manner: "Yes, those so-called women of the family are grass in the eyes of your husband, no, they are mud that is not even as good as grass." After speaking, Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning looked at each other quietly, with affection, and there was nothing but themselves in each other's eyes.
As soon as Mu Ning and Zheng Xuan's words came out, they simply shocked the civil and military forces in the hall, what is going on with this prince and the princess, there are such shocking words, who in this era does not respect those families as gods, but in the eyes of this young couple, they are worthless, and the ministers who are born in the family are unhappy, this is ridiculous, it is simply ridiculous; But those ministers from poor families, and those generals who are ridiculed and vulgar by the family every day are happy, the prince of Rui and the princess of the world really said to their hearts, the major affairs of the country are almost all of them These cold generals resist, those so-called families will enjoy, and they will also suffer from the birds of those families.
