December 19, as Princess Luoxi said, is a good day to marry, in order to welcome Princess Luoxi, but also in order to compensate for the grievances suffered by the princess, the wedding is extremely luxurious, the king of Chu even asked all the people in Chu City to hang red silk, even the Qingqin Pavilion that was burned down last night was also covered with a layer of red cloth by Jing Zhaoyin, covering up the charred carbon, the whole Chu City is like a red lantern, full of joy and peace.

Mu Yutao was busy as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and it was not until the time of the child that he stole two jars of wine and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Mu Yutao entered the hall, he saw his father sitting upright in the hall, obviously waiting for someone, "Father." ”

It was late at night, Prime Minister Mu Cheng sat alone around the table, there were two or three plates of side dishes on the table, and it was not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, it was just an appetizer for ordinary people, or the kind of appetizer that would never appear on the table of Mu Yutao's wine.

Mu Cheng Prime Minister Qin Jin, born in poverty since childhood, although he is the son of a family, but he has long declined, when he was young, he had no intention of eating and wearing with civilians, and therefore he was often bullied by other families, until he was favored by Mu Yutao's maternal grandfather, entered the Mu family, married the eldest daughter of the Mu family and changed his surname to Mu, in the future, the youngest daughter of the Mu family entered the palace as the princess, and gave birth to the prince Ouyang Yan, after the death of the old Chu Wang Xian, Mu Jin supported Ouyang Yan as the new monarch, assisted the government for more than ten years, and was successively named the court captain, the imperial history, the prime minister, until today, It can be said that it is under one person and above ten thousand.

"Sit down, I haven't eaten for a day, let's eat whatever you want" Mu Xiang's voice had tiredness that could not be hidden.

The lights flickered, and a room was warm and yellow, Mu Yutao suffered some minor injuries last night and only slept for two or three hours, he was very sleepy at the moment, and he gave Mu Xiang a glass of wine, handed it to Mu Chengxiang, and at the same time gave himself a cup and drank it all.

Mu Xiang raised his glass and tasted it, and sighed, "This is Li Qing wine, it is indeed delicious." Yan Guo is really generous, he actually gave a hundred altars as a dowry"

Li Qing Li Qing, taken from the green leaves on the top of Li Mountain, soaked in rootless water, the process is extremely complex, each altar is not less than dozens of gold, Chu City is only afraid that there are only a hundred altars, I never thought that the evening marriage, Yan Guo sent hundreds of altars in one go.

Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Mu Jin sighed, "I originally thought that even if Yan State was strong, how much stronger it would be than Chu State, but I didn't expect that I was sitting in the well and watching the sky, Yan Country is rich and strong, but I am afraid that if this continues, I am afraid that the world will be surnamed Yan." ”

Mu Yutao was silent and did not answer.

Prime Minister Mu Cheng deliberately refuted him to draw out his purpose, but he didn't expect to hear the answer for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Why don't you speak?" Don't you even know the most basic etiquette? ”

When the elders asked, as a junior, they had to answer, and Mu Yutao had to say, "Father is too worried." ”

Looking at Mu Yutao's bloodshot eyes, Mu Xiangxin softened again, and said, "How is the injury?" ”

Mu Xiang's power is monstrous, last night in order to protect the sunset, even the city defenders were dispatched, it is impossible for him not to know such a big movement, Mu Yutao had expected him to ask, but he still felt warm in his heart, "It's no big deal." ”

Mu Xiang sighed and said, "I know that you are loyal to the king, and it is your duty to protect Princess Luoxi, but you also have to protect yourself." After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Not only about yourself, but occasionally about your sister's situation. ”

Mu Yudai has been favored by her father since she was a child, and the flowers and plants in her yard are taken care of by her father himself, and the master who teaches her is also personally selected by her father. I still remember that one winter, Yu Dai wanted to eat watermelon, and his father, who had always been thrifty, spent a lot of money to find watermelons without saying a word, which was time-consuming and laborious, and finally bought it for her in the cellar of an old farmer in a remote mountain village, which shows Mu Yudai's status in his father's heart. Later, Mu Yudai entered the palace as a concubine, and Mu Jin placed a large number of people around her to help her rise to the position of a concubine step by step, and even did some bad things in the process.

Mu Yutao felt deeply uneasy in his conscience after knowing it, and gradually alienated his sister, Mu Jin had hoped that he would help Mu Yudai more than once and help her ascend to the throne, but he refused, Mu Xiang was angry but helpless, and the relationship between father and son became colder and colder.

Today, all women of grade will participate in the wedding, even the Queen Mother Rong Zhi is holding on to her uncomfortable body, attending for a while, Mu Guifei, as the head of the concubines, has no reason to be absent, watching her beloved hold the hands of others, and even kneeling and bowing by herself, at that time, her eyes were red, and Mu Xiang felt sorry for her, so she brought up the old thing again.

However, Mu Yutao still rejected him, saying, "The king is not a forgetful person, and he will be good to Yu Dai." ”

"What's good, you still need to kowtow to people every day, bow low and be small." Seeing that Mu Yutao was silent, he said, "What's more, I heard that this princess of Luoxi is arrogant and rude, and willful, how can she treat Yu Dai well." ”

For the benefit of Yan and Chu, no matter what, Mu Yutao would not watch Mu Xiang hurt the princess of Yan Kingdom, there is no need to say much, Mu Yutao put down the wine glass in his hand, saluted slightly, and turned around to leave.

"Stop," Prime Minister Mu Cheng shouted.

However, Mu Yutao didn't look back, turned around and left as if he hadn't heard, leaving Mu Xiang alone to look at his back in a daze.

Speaking of both ends, December 19 is not a full moon day, but it is also bright, the princess of Luoxi, who is scheduled to get married today, is crooked on the beauty couch, with a red wedding dress and exquisite makeup, which is even more delicate and cute, but she looks a little tired, and when she saw Jingjing coming in, her eyes lit up and said, "Is he asleep?" ”

"Yes, the princess is working hard today, I think she is tired, the slave has prepared condensing tea, the princess will drink some and rest."

Luoxi ignored her and asked her eagerly, "Where's the thing?" Show me, I've been busy since last night, and I haven't had time to see it. ”

Zhen Zhen took out two books from her arms, one of which still had traces of fire in the corner, and she said, "The slave is not doing well, and when the old bustard arrived last night, he had already burned these rosters, and only these two books remained." ”

Luo Xi lowered her head, quickly looked at the book in her hand, and said, "It's okay, the bones are discounted, and the tendons are connected, these are enough for us to be busy for a while." ”

After a long time, Luo Xi raised her eyes and looked at the side face of the young man on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jingjing handed over a cup of tea and said, "Your Highness, it's late at night, let's rest today." ”

Luo Xi handed the booklet to Yaoyao on the side, took the tea cup in Jingjing's hand, and said, "I'm a little tired, I need to be sober and sober." ”

Luo Xi's face was a little heavy, and none of the three personal maids dared to disturb her at this time, and silently made the bed for her

Luo Xi rolled her eyes and looked at Yaoyao, "Can you inquire about the situation of the Empress Dowager Rongzhi clearly?" ”

"The slave maid has inquired, the Empress Dowager Rongzhi has been living in seclusion in the Taiping Palace since she returned to the emperor ten years ago, and she does not ask about the world, and she will not appear during the New Year's Festival, and today is the first time she has attended the banquet in five years."

"Don't you ever care about the harem?"

"No matter how big or small, I never ask about it, even if it is a big thing like the death of a prince, I have never interfered."

Luo Xi nodded and said, "What a smart person, who is in charge of the harem now?" ”

"It's Mu Guifei" Yaoyao said, with some disdain on her face, "It's the one who kneels at the front today, with a sad face, and she touches her head on a happy day." ”

"Mu Guifei? Mu Yudai? Mu Yutao's sister? ”

"Yes, it's her, now living alone in Hechang Palace, I heard that she is a talented girl, five-year-old poetry and books, eight-year-old music rhythm, plus her appearance is acceptable, she is known as the first talented woman in Chucheng, and Prime Minister Mu Cheng is also very fond of this daughter, and she has been raised after becoming a king since she was a child."

Luo Xi remembered, when the canonization ceremony was given today, the eyes of the beauty led by me were slightly red, and I really felt sorry for me, but my appearance was five points similar to Mu Yutao.

Luo Xi frowned, "She is Mu Yutao's sister, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be so vicious and ruthless, and her behavior doesn't look like a scheming person, I want to find a chance to try her." Pay more attention to the female officers around her. ”
