Chapter 247: Marriage Proposal, Unexpected Twist
The familiar tune sounded, and among the four people who were the referees, Mu Qingrui couldn't help but let out a low "huh".
"Ambush on All Sides", also known as "Huaiyang Pingchu", is a classic in the pipa repertoire, and few people use the guzheng to play. In terms of the softness of the pipa, the timbre of Zheng is more solemn, agitated, and dignified. Mu Yunge's fingertips were confused, and this song "Ambush on All Sides" instantly brought everyone back to the ancient battlefield, and everyone was enthusiastic and excited. People who have grand intentions in their hearts are all fascinated by the music, and they are eager to try.
Mu Yunge slowly withdrew his hand, got up from the table, and retreated to Xiao's side with a dignified body.
But everyone was still immersed in the song and couldn't extricate themselves, no one reacted, and there was not a trace of applause.
Just now, Nangong Jin's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" makes people melancholy and reminiscing, as if they are in the past and it is difficult to get rid of it, but this song "Ambush on All Sides" has provoked people's dreams......
Who can not get excited? Who can not get excited?
Zhao Yan was the first to come back to her senses, jealousy filled her heart, looking at Mu Yunge's quiet eyebrows, the anger in her heart couldn't be suppressed: "Fox spirit, you have to use charm to play a guzheng, and it's just a matter of indiscriminateness!" ”
Mrs. Zhao glared at her fiercely: "Silence! ”
Emperor Wu and Empress Zhao are both on it, Mu Yunge has earned face for the country again, this stupid daughter is making trouble in front of outsiders, she really doesn't know how thick the sky is!
The movement of the two finally woke everyone up, Wei Shi handed out the flowers, and unabashedly showed his appreciation: "The pipa music is played with zheng, I didn't expect it to have such an effect!" Good Zheng, good music, good skills! boasted on his lips, and couldn't help but be proud in his heart: "Yun'er is amazing, now those boudoir girls don't dare to underestimate her anymore, right?" ”
Mu Qingrui did not hesitate to take off the black cloth that was blindfolded, glanced at the circle of people with burning eyes, and said loudly: "Good song!" I don't know who was playing just now? ”
Emperor Wu smiled and applauded, and the people in the imperial garden woke up from a big dream, and the applause was like thunder, which lasted for a long time.
Mu Qingrui didn't get a response, his face was a little ugly, and he retreated to the original table. Mu Ruyan leaned over and said in his ear, "It was Miss Mu who played the guzheng just now." ”
It's her?
Mu Qingrui looked at Mu Yunge in surprise, and couldn't believe that that charming and elegant woman had such a bold mind. What is the song "Ambush on All Sides"? Wuqu! If you stick to the twisted emotions of your little daughter's house, you can't play a strong feeling!
This person is Zhuyu, if he can marry and return to China, his life will be complete!
Mu Qingrui's heart was pounding, he had already decided, what princess he didn't want, ten princesses added up to no match for one Mu Yunge. Mu Qingrui touched his chin and pondered, he had to think of a way to let Emperor Wu make Mu Yunge a princess and choose him as a friendly person.
Mu Ruyan seemed to know what he was thinking, and whispered in his ear: "My brother has fallen in love with Mu Yunge and wants to marry her, but my sister has a way." ”
"What's the solution?" Mu Qingrui narrowed his eyes.
Mu Ruyan said what Zhao Yan had just discussed with her, and now her brother also has this intention, if she cooperates, it will be a good show!
After Mu Qingrui heard what she said, his eyes fell on Zhu Yiru, and he couldn't hide the dislike in his eyes: "What is the origin of this Miss Zhu?" ”
"The second daughter of the Liaozhou Assassin Family." Mu Ruyan was not interested in this person, so he said a perfunctory sentence casually, and then asked, "What does my brother think?" ”
The folk style of Xizhao is quite simple, although Mu Qingrui is not a good type, but he really despises and resists such inferior methods in his heart, looking at how Zhu Yiru looks at it, how unpleasant. is still the daughter of an important minister, why is her mind so dirty, and she will harm people with poison anytime and anywhere? He looked sideways at Mu Ruyan, this sister is also being taken very badly now, and scolded him angrily: "You have only been in Dawei for a few years, why have you lost your original simplicity and cuteness?" Trick yourself up and eradicate dissidents, you've learned a great job! ”
Mu Ruyan was also annoyed when he told him, and sneered: "With your uprightness, you will marry someone away!" ”
Mu Qingrui snorted heavily, ignored her anymore, and turned his head away.
Zhao Yan was looking at the two, and Mu Qingrui remembered that she was also one of the masterminds, so she naturally didn't have a good impression and glared at her fiercely.
Zhao Yan's eyes were tightly locked, knowing that Mu Ruyan was not a good lobbyist, so she lowered her eyes and calculated otherwise.
Mu Qingrui thought for a while and stood up: "Your Majesty, the crown prince of our country is a lover of music theory, and if he can be accompanied by good news, he will be very happy to come." This Miss Mu's skills are outstanding, if she can marry Zhao Guo, it will be a good marriage......"
"Miss Mu can't do it, your country should take a look again." Before he finished speaking, Emperor Wu refused without thinking about it.
Mu Qingrui didn't expect to be rejected as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a little stunned for a while, and subconsciously asked: "Why not?" ”
"The envoy doesn't know, although the Mu family is the Marquis of Changyi, in terms of background, but it is a merchant, it is too lowly, how can it be worthy of the crown prince of your country? If the crown prince sends an envoy thousands of miles away to ask for relatives, but our country allows it to be a merchant girl, and it spreads out, it will be criticized by the people of the world! Empress Zhao replied with a chuckle.
Before the words fell, the faces of everyone present changed slightly.
Although Empress Zhao was rejecting Mu Qingrui's proposal, it was also clear that there was some suppression, exclusion and sarcasm of Mu Yunge.
Not to mention that Mu Zhizhao added an official to the title of marquis, let's just say that Mu Yunge, now it is also a three-grade chastity, with the holy decree as evidence, and he always talks about the background of others, so he is a little suspicious of making trouble!
After Empress Zhao said this, she was more sensitive and sensed that something was wrong, and looked at Mu Yunge with trepidation.
Xiao naturally understood, she clenched her daughter's hand suspiciously, and couldn't understand where her daughter offended Queen Zhao and wanted to be so bullied by her in public......
Only Mu Yunge treated it indifferently, Emperor Wu was here, no matter what Empress Zhao did, she had to swallow the bitter fruit by herself!
Emperor Wu's face is ugly, but in front of outsiders, he has to pretend to be a good look, right? Emperor Wu suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded slightly: "Miss Mu is indeed inappropriate. There are many women in my Great Wei who are both good and good-looking, and there must be someone who is compatible with the crown prince, so your country is still thinking about it, right? ”
"Miss Mu is very good!" Mu Qingrui was very persistent, and when he saw Emperor Wu defending Mu Yunge so much, his mind was crooked: "Your Majesty's decisive refusal is because you have a preference in your heart and are unwilling to give up?" ”
This was already a big disrespect, and when several princes heard this, they all stood up one after another: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"Presumptuous!"
"How can you say such a thing, the state of etiquette in your country?"
Mu Qingrui looked at everyone with a calm face, whether he could marry Mu Yunge or not was here, if he could force Emperor Wu to retreat, the method of agitation was the simplest and most direct!
He smiled coldly: "What are you all anxious about, did you really tell me right?" ”
Emperor Wu was silent, and the anger between his eyebrows was faintly erupting, which was already to the extreme.
He has been in power for many years, and he has been so provoked, and his prestige and power do not allow it. It's just that in the face of this messenger's questioning, he is also a little powerless to refute. Yes, he is easy to say anything, but he can't find a suitable reason to show everyone in righteous words why Mu Yunge is not suitable to kiss!
At this moment, Wei Shi, who had not spoken, slowly stood up, the folding fan in his hand was put away, and there was a faint smile on his face: "You really said it, it is true that my father is unwilling to cut his love." Miss Mu is very fond of her father, and she is the daughter-in-law of her father's prime minister, of course, she will never marry into your Zhao Kingdom! ”
"What do you mean?" Mu Qingrui's heart fell straight down, the form changed suddenly, and it was a little unclear whether it was true or false.
When he came to Dawei, he inquired clearly, among these children of Emperor Wu, only the King of Jin has a concubine, and the concubines of several other princes are still to be selected, Mu Ruyan also revealed some words to him, saying that this palace banquet is obviously a birthday celebration, but in fact, it is to select candidates for harmony, as well as for several princes to choose concubines.
I had never heard of Wei Shi's sweetheart before, and his own sister was determined to win the position of Princess Yu, so how did she know that Wei Shi's marriage news would suddenly appear?
Not only Mu Qingrui was stunned, everyone in this imperial garden was shocked, and they didn't know that there was such a secret!
Those who didn't know the inside story were all about to lean over, and saw Emperor Wu's expression more realistically, depending on how he answered.
"It means that Mu Yunge, Miss Mu, is the fiancée of this king, and it is impossible to be kind!" Wei Shi smiled on his face, and repeated it slowly and leisurely, word by word.
He turned to face Emperor Wu, blinked his eyes mischievously, and said with his fists clenched: "Father and Emperor thought about his sons and made a marriage contract for his sons. I also understand that Erchen loves Miss Mu wholeheartedly and wants to win Miss's heart as soon as possible, so he has been helping Erchen hide it and refuse to say it clearly, so he was misunderstood by others. It's all sons and daughters who are not good, please punish your father! As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the envoy with a smile: "I'm really sorry for you, because Miss Mu is still young and has not yet reached the end of the year, and the king is afraid that suddenly announcing the marriage will frighten Miss Mu and make the world laugh at his sons, so he has been begging his father not to announce the marriage." Let everyone toss in vain, I'm sorry! ”
He has never been serious, no one knows whether what he said is true or not, and they all look at Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu was very shocked in his heart, squinting his eyes and watching his favorite son around the scene, until he squeezed his eyes mischievously at himself, and he understood a little.
Yes, it is somewhat inappropriate to say that he is reluctant, Mu Yunge has not yet reached the end of time, he is the daughter of a subordinate, and it is still a little unpleasant to pass on his reputation as a coveted young girl. However, if it is said that Mu Yunge is Shi'er's fiancée, everyone in the world knows that he loves Wei Shi and is more partial to Mu Yunge, which is reasonable!
At this moment, Emperor Wu secretly praised his clever son, although this method was somewhat reluctant, but it not only saved his face, but also kept Yun Ge by his side, and saw it from time to time, it was not a good way.
Wei Shanzhi, who had been looking at Emperor Wu's face, saw that Emperor Wu's eyes were swaying and finally turned firm, and his heart suddenly fell into his seat.
He knew, it's over, it's too late!
Sure enough, Emperor Wu looked at Mu Qingrui with a smile and nodded: "Shi'er is right, Miss Mu is indeed the fiancée of King Yu, your country should choose another beauty, right?" ”
