Chapter 83: The Hundred Days Feast (2)
"The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for Wen Yu's auspicious words." Yuwei said.
"Please ask the emperor and the queen mother to move to the main hall, and the courtiers have prepared dinner." Murong Mufeng saw that the sky was starting to darken, so he proposed to go to the main hall for dinner.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lanterns and floor lamps arranged by Yuwei before were lit, and the entire palace was brightened and looked very gorgeous.
"Fourth brother, your idea of a lantern and a lantern on the way is really good, the queen just told me that she likes your glazed floor lamp very much, and I will pave a road for the queen when I go back." Murong Rin looked at Shangguan Yueyun as he spoke, and Shangguan Yueyun was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, she really sprinkled a handful of dog food for everyone. However, the love between the emperor and the queen is well known, and it is not surprising.
Murong Mufeng said: "The emperor and the queen are really in love!" Admire the younger brother! The idea of this floor lamp was not thought up by the courtier, but by the princess, who was afraid that the road would affect the vision of the guests, so she specially installed the floor lamp. ”
Shangguan Yueyun cast an appreciative look at Yu Wei and said, "The fourth princess is not only intelligent, but also has a seven-trick exquisite heart. ”
Yu Wei blessed her body and said: "Concubine Xie Empress praises!" These are just some careful thoughts of the concubines, some small works that are boring and idle in the house. ”
Murong Rin, Murong Mufeng and Murong Haoxuan were chatting about political affairs in the front, and the Queen Mother, Shangguan Yueyun and Yuwei were chatting about some trivial things in the house in the back. The Queen Mother was happy and still hugged Murong Wenyu and was reluctant to put it down, Murong Wenyu was also a child who was not afraid of giving birth, Murong Wenyu looked at him in the Queen Mother's arms and laughed, which also made the Queen Mother laugh: "Di Li, this child is so young and not afraid of life, the mourning family remembers that the emperor was very sticky when he was so old, and others were not allowed to hug him." However, Wen Yu's child is different, he will be more pleasing than the prince, and this child will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future. ”
When Yu Wei heard this, she felt a pimple in her heart, the Queen Mother was discussing the emperor's affairs! The queen mother may have no intention of speaking, but she is afraid that the listener has a heart. A companion is like a companion tiger, if Yu Wei answers a little carelessly, something bad will reach Murong Rin's ears, causing a gap between Murong Rin and Murong Mufeng's brotherhood.
Yu Wei hurriedly said: "Wen Yu, this kid is more naughty, many people and things are still very novel and interesting, sometimes in the middle of the night when he cries, it's useless to hold him." As a mother, I don't ask him to do anything, as long as he is healthy and happy all his life. Yu Wei said this just to make her position clear, and it was also Yu Wei's heart, she would rather Wen Yu live an ordinary life for the rest of her life, be an idle prince and play in the mountains and rivers, and not be involved in political affairs.
When the Queen Mother heard Yu Wei say this, she was very satisfied. After all, the first emperor did not have many heirs, and his son Murong Rin became the emperor, but unfortunately Murong Rin and Shangguan Yueyun had a deep relationship, so the harem has always been very thin, and there are few heirs, and Shangguan Yueyun only gave birth to a son. And Murong Mufeng's reputation in the court has always been very high, seeing that the prince has always been ordinary, he can't walk at the age of three, and the queen mother is also in a hurry. But seeing Murong Wenyu's round eyes today, people can't put it down, and he is smart and clever, so the Queen Mother is a little worried that Murong Wenyu's momentum will overwhelm the prince. But hearing Yu Wei say this, the Queen Mother's heart was a little relieved.
When Shangguan Yueyun heard the Queen Mother's words, she was also very worried, because of Murong Rin's favor for herself, so Murong Rin has always resisted the pressure of the Queen Mother and did not expand the harem concubines, but her belly is not angry, she just gave birth to a son and a daughter for Murong Rin. I've been working hard all these years, but my stomach hasn't responded. When the crown prince was born, the queen mother was still very happy, but the good times did not last long, the prince should not be able to walk when he was three years old, and the children of other concubines could walk at the age of one. It is evident that the prince's intellectual development has been slower than that of the other brothers. Whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, Shangguan Yueyun secretly hid in the bed and cried.
Yu Wei's words seemed to be very effective for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said: "Di Li, what you said is right, this is the wish of the mother's relatives in the whole world." ”
After the banquet, the guests gathered together to ask for warmth, and no one could tell whether the friendship was true or not.
"It's late at night, the Queen Mother is tired, and I'm going back to the palace." Murong Rin said.
"Congratulations to the emperor and the queen mother." Murong Mufeng and Yu Wei were sent to the door of the mansion.
Murong Haoxuan was also about to say goodbye, Murong Mufeng put his arm on Murong Haoxuan's shoulder and said, "Eighth brother, the two of us haven't had a drink for a long time, why don't we stay and have a drink with the fourth brother tonight!" ”
"Lord, the concubine asked someone to prepare some snacks for you. I remember that you said last time that you like to eat spicy duck necks made by concubines, so it's better for concubines to prepare some for the prince. Yu Wei knew that Murong Mufeng was going to be a lobbyist, so she was very positive.
Murong Mufeng looked at Yu Wei's tired little face, and smiled: "You can leave the food to the kitchen, princess, you are also tired today, why don't you rest early, I will have a drink with my eighth brother." ”
Yu Wei knew that Murong Mufeng felt sorry for herself, and she could make the wrong mistake to get such a considerate husband, Yu Wei was very satisfied. She said softly: "The concubine retired first. Yu Wei looked at Murong Haoxuan again and said, "Eighth brother, just treat this place as your own mansion." ”
"Haoxuan Xie Fourth Sister-in-law cares!" Although I am very reluctant to call Yuwei like this, the etiquette cannot be abolished. Looking at Murong Mufeng and Yu Wei, Murong Haoxuan was also very envious, and couldn't help but say: "The relationship between the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law is really good, and they are really envious of others. ”
When Murong Mufeng heard this, these words were in his heart. Isn't this the reason why Murong Haoxuan stayed tonight Murong Mufeng said earnestly: "Eighth brother, I still remember that in the past, the two of us were the princes who everyone knew in this Furong country, why did we say this, it was because we were too close, and in the words of ordinary people, neither of us was willing to marry a wife and have children. The fourth brother is not an exaggeration to say that the people who chased us lined up outside the city. ”
Murong Haoxuan looked at Murong Mufeng who was smiling and said, "Fourth brother, you have really changed a lot. ”
"What has become of it? For the better or for the worse? Murong Mufeng asked.
"You've become more talkative, and you're not as cold as you used to be, and now there's always a sense of happiness in your eyebrows." Murong Haoxuan looked at Murong Mufeng and said seriously.
Murong Mufeng raised his wine glass and saluted Murong Haoxuan and said: "Actually, it was your fourth sister-in-law who made me like this, before I met her, I thought that I was going to be lonely in this life, and after I met her, I didn't take other people in my eyes." I used to think that women were troublesome and lived a chic and comfortable life by myself, but now I feel that one person is not as good as two people. Since the fourth brother has become a family, he cares about you a lot less, I wonder if the fourth brother has a crush on someone? ”
Murong Haoxuan was stunned, he only had the shadow of Yuwei in his mind, but he was worried that Murong Mufeng would see something, so he said, "Fourth brother, I haven't had a crush on anyone yet. ”
Murong Mufeng took advantage of the situation and asked, "Sadia, the eldest princess of Yaha Kingdom, is here this time for the sake of peace between the two countries. I heard that her crush is none other than the eighth brother. I wonder if the eighth brother already knows about this? ”
"Yes, the emperor has already mentioned it to me, but I told the emperor that I need to think about it, and I have been thinking about it for a while. It seems that it is time to reply to the emperor. Murong Haoxuan said.
"I don't know if the eighth brother agreed to this family business?" Murong Mufeng asked.
Murong Haoxuan thought for a while and said, "I have only had a few encounters with the eldest princess of Yaha, and if I take the liberty of accepting this family business, I feel that it is unfair to the eldest princess." ”
Murong Mufeng said bitterly: "I have also met the eldest princess a few times, your fourth sister-in-law often mentions her, and your fourth sister-in-law is often taken care of by the eldest princess in the palace, so she is also full of praise." No, as soon as your fourth sister-in-law heard about the marriage, she asked me to tell you that the matchmaker came. I still remember that my fourth sister-in-law and I also knew each other, two people who had never met before got married, and the two of them understood and tolerated each other, and their lives were very fulfilling. Fourth brother, you are not young, it's time to get married, find someone to take care of you. ”
Murong Haoxuan thought to himself: So you also know? Do you really want me to marry the Celestial Princess? But you're so happy, I should put you down!
Seeing that Murong Haoxuan was silent, Murong Mufeng thought that Murong Haoxuan was going to agree, but he didn't expect Murong Haoxuan to finally say: "Let me think about this marriage again." ”
The two brothers took advantage of the strength of the wine to talk for a long time, as if they were going to finish the words of their lives, and the two stayed up all night.
When Yuwei returned to the room, she found that there was an extra box on the table, and when she opened the box, she saw a pair of silver bracelets lying inside, a pair of silver anklets, and a longevity lock. Under the box was a letter that read to dear Wen Yu: Uncle couldn't come to Wen Yu's 100-day banquet, and he couldn't help himself, so he specially asked the silversmith to create this pair of auspicious bracelets. I hope Wenyu will thrive and be happy every day!
Yu Wei's eyes suddenly turned red, and when she saw such a particularly delicate bracelet, she knew that this was not the design of this era, coupled with the modern language on the letter, there was no doubt that she knew that it was sent by Baili Lonely. Yu Wei gently took off the bracelet and longevity lock from the box and gave them to Murong Wenyu.
After the 100-day banquet, Sadid received a letter from his father, saying that Sadid had to leave the country of Furong and return to the country of Yaha immediately, so Sadid entered the palace early in the morning to say goodbye to Murong Rin.
"Your Majesty, there is something going on in my country that requires me to leave for China to deal with immediately, so I came here today to say goodbye to the emperor. I don't know how the matter with the pro mentioned last time was discussed. Sadid asked.
Murong Rin's face was ugly, because Murong Haoxuan had already stated his position before the previous dynasty and did not accept peace for the time being.
Murong Rin said tactfully: "Prince Sadid, there are still many princes in our country, why don't I choose another one for you?" ”
Sadiya was a little anxious when she listened on the sidelines, forgetting her identity, and shouted anxiously: "Thank you for the emperor's good intentions, but the only person I fancy is the eighth prince." ”
