Chapter 403: Layers of Mystery
"Mu Jin is really his son?"
The eldest princess doesn't believe that such a person will have a head and tail with the Tian family, how can a man who can be favored by the queen mother take a fancy to the Tian family, who was born as a girl, "Over the years, he has rarely gone to the court, rarely participated in politics, like a hidden master, and rarely even goes out of the mansion." β
The emperor said meaningfully: "He is old, and he can no longer satisfy the Queen Mother, and only a young and beautiful young man can get the Queen Mother's mind." β
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother almost died of illness, her health was not as good as before, and her heart was weak, those favored people would still be by the Queen Mother's side, "Twenty years ago, I recognized the first talent of the empire and the first beautiful man in the clan, I didn't expect you to come out after so many years." β
The man walked down from the cloister, his body was still upright, well maintained, the frost-white temples showed his mature charm after years of precipitation, old age and decay really should not be used on him, the years especially favored the man in front of him, and he looked like he was about forty, his elegant appearance was almost the same as when he said goodbye ten years ago, and his appearance was also similar to that of the emperor.
It's just that his elegance and gentleness are deeply engraved into his bones, although the emperor is gentle, he occasionally shows a touch of strong domineering, and at this time, the tip of his eyebrows is even more irritable.
"I should call you the king of Chengping County, my little imperial uncle, and my savior."
A faint smile appeared on the emperor's lips, "The civil and military are unparalleled, the medical skills are superb, and the little imperial uncle who was born in the royal family has become famous." β
King Chengping walked down the steps, picked up a swing and knelt down, and said, "The minister greets Your Majesty." β
"The royal sister will go back to nourish her eyes first, and handle the women's school exam that I have given you, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
ββ¦β¦ I want to accompany the royal brother. β
"It's enough to have the King of Chengping County to accompany me, not to mention that I should also thank the King of Chengping County, without his hints, how could the British Duke not appear at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, our Queen Mother thinks that she has the British princess and honorable ministers, in fact, they are still more willing to listen to the orders of the King of Chengping."
The emperor didn't wait for the eldest princess to reply, he walked over directly, and the fan gently knocked on the head of the kneeling king of Chengping County, "The scenery of the imperial garden is good, you can accompany me to take a look." It was just a moment, and the emperor's gloom and irritability receded.
"Minister, obey the order."
King Chengping waited until the emperor took two steps, then slowly stood up, smiled at the eldest princess, bowed to the eldest princess, bowed to the eldest princess, turned around neatly, but followed the emperor's footsteps with low eyebrows, unhurried, and kept the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, even the most demanding people could not find any fault with him.
There is no place where the king of Chengping is not elegant, and there is no place that is not gentle.
However, the emperor still held him down, in addition to the identity of the emperor, the thin man who walked in front had a decision that the king of Chengping County would never have to have.
The scenery of the Imperial Garden is very good, the flowers are clustered, the rare varieties of flowers that are not common, can be seen everywhere in the Imperial Garden, the Taihu Lake stones transported from the south of the Yangtze River are piled up into rockeries, and the octagonal pavilion is carved with luxurious patterns, showing the wealth and spirit of the heavenly family everywhere.
When the emperor arrived, the concubines who were originally enjoying the flowers and chatting in the imperial garden came over.
They haven't seen the emperor for a while, and the emperor's eyes are becoming more and more tender, gentle and affectionate, showing their best side in front of the emperor, hoping to get the qualification to sleep.
King Chengping stood beside the emperor, he had not entered the palace for many years, the young concubines did not know him, no one was as important as the emperor at this time, even if the king of Chengping was good, the concubines would only flatter the emperor.
"You're gone, I just want to be quiet." The emperor directly dismissed the women who surrounded him, until the residual smell of women's fat powder disappeared, and the emperor said with a smile: "I remember that you don't seem to have a son?" Only two righteous sons? β
King Chengping said slowly: "The emperor should understand that Mu Jin cannot be the son of a minister. β
The emperor seemed to think suddenly, and said apologetically: "I actually forgot, the queen mother is full of jealousy and does not want to see the emperor's uncle pamper others." β
Where is the apology, it is simply ridicule, the emperor does not smile at all, "Others will use medicine when they serve the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother attaches great importance to you, and you have a deep affection for the Queen Mother, I would rather not be a concubine." β
"The minister thought that he couldn't catch up with the third son of King Wei's nephew."
"Bang."
The emperor directly threw the teacup in his hand to the king of Chengping, pulled the collar of the king of Chengping, and looked indifferent and fierce, "You actually compare Mu Wu with the queen mother?" β
The tea soaked his clothes, and the king of Chengping was staggered by the emperor, "The emperor is angry, and the minister knows that he is wrong." β
"I don't care what you know or hear, but remember one thing for me - I will never allow you or any of you to interfere with her ideas."
The emperor let go of the hand that was pulling his collar, gently raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles on his clothes, and said slowly: "I am also for your good, so that you will not be abused too badly by Mu Yu, I regard Mu Wu and San Lang as juniors, and the little emperor uncle is two generations higher than them, and he personally goes out to compete with the juniors, but he can't compare to Mu Wu, he always miscalculates, where does the little emperor's face go?" β
King Chengping lowered his eyelids, "The juniors you love are loved by the ministers, and the ministers will never dare to disfavor them, and please ask the emperor to ...... The emperor believes in the ministers. β
"Believe? How did Uncle Huang make me believe in you? β
The emperor seemed to have heard the funniest joke, "You entered the palace and used the last chance given to you by the Queen Mother and me, but it was just to save Mu Jin, make Mu Qi, whom I trusted, lose his face, and make Mu Wei doubt my ability, and I have to take the trouble to explain to her, Uncle Xiao Huang will only make trouble for me." β
King Chengping's eyes were complicated, his throat rolled, and the emperor sat down again with fatigue, "That's it, that's it, no matter how much I do, you are also on their side, I shouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that you will stand by and watch." β
Then, the emperor's voice was high-pitched, "But the little emperor thought that I was still fifteen years ago, and he was very wrong, the little emperor didn't say anything back then, and it's useless to say anything today." β
King Chengping closed his eyes, "No matter when, the minister will never say it, and he will never mention it." β
"Mu Jin's mother, Tian, once served the minister's righteous son on the order of Mrs. Yong'an Hou, Tian is a confused woman, and she doesn't know whose son Mu Jin is, Your Majesty, the minister knows that Mu Qi is your righteous brother."
"Uncle Xiao Huang is really well-informed, he also saved my life, Uncle Xiao Huang also knows it."
"Yes."
King Chengping lowered his voice: "You shouldn't risk your life and stay in the palace......"
"Stay in the palace as the puppet of the Queen Mother, waiting for your alms?" The emperor sneered: "Some of the Queen Mother's decisions are wrong, and I don't need to explain to you what I want to do." β
"I don't think it's useless without Uncle Xiaohuang! I am already a father, and I will think about my son. β
King Chengping's body was shocked, and he said bitterly and hoarsely: "The ministers obey Your Majesty's arrangement, and only ask Your Majesty to spare their lives." β
P.S. Ask for two monthly passes. The story is not as bloody as everyone guesses, but it is not too simple, and the emperor's life experience is more complicated.
