Chapter 166: The Price of Heaven and Earth
When he returned to the palace, it was already the morning of the next day, Mu Xiyun hadn't slept all night, and he was sleepy, so he hurried back to his room to make up for sleep.
Yu Mingche quickly changed into an official uniform, and went to the palace with a pair of big black eyes.
It wasn't until the sun went down that Mu Xiyun woke up, got up and stretched a big lazy waist, called Duo'er to dress up, and then prepared to go to dinner, if he didn't eat for a day and a night, Lord Nine-Tails would be hungry.
As soon as he walked to the dining room, Wu Wei was already sitting at the empty dining table looking at an ancient book, while Xiaoshuang was standing next to him in an orderly manner.
"Where's the rice? Why don't you arrange dinner? Master, I'm dying of hunger. Mu Xiyun said with a smile towards Wuwei.
"Big brother took you out and didn't give you food? What are you doing with me?! ”
"By the way, what about Yu Mingche, you haven't come back since you entered the palace?" Mu Xiyun found out that Yu Mingche was not there after being reminded by Wuwei, and quickly asked.
"Well, I sent someone to send a message back, and I want to discuss the matter of the next month's sacrifice with other lords, so that we can eat first, and we don't have to wait for him." Wu Wei still turned the pages of the book and said lightly.
"Then let's eat, don't wait for him, I'm really hungry, hurry up, go to Zhang Luo's meal!" Today I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. Mu Xiyun said happily to Duo'er.
"So I said that I really admire the bearing of the eldest brother, and daring to marry a princess like you is indeed a blessing for him in his third life." Wuwei put down the book and said with a gentle smile.
"That's not it, how good I am, wait, Master, are you saying that I don't look like a princess?" Mu Xiyun suddenly reacted and said.
"Correct solution!"
"Master! Do you just say that you are a good son? Mu Xiyun rushed up and hammered Wuwei hard, Xiaoshuang saw such a scene next to her, and couldn't help but snicker with Duo'er.
"What are you apprentices talking about? So happy? Yu Mingche walked in and said.
"Yu Mingche! You're back? Just now Master said that I don't look like a princess all over my body? You give a judgment, do I have it? As soon as Mu Xiyun saw Yu Mingche coming back, she quickly jumped and ran over, and said coquettishly.
"Uncle Shi is right, I am really fortunate to marry a naughty princess like you in my third life, and I am overwhelmed with tricks every day." Yu Mingche smiled softly, gently scratched Mu Xiyun's nose and said.
Mu Xiyun looked unhappy and sat down angrily, Yu Mingche saw that his little cutie was angry, and hurriedly walked over and said:
"Okay, Yun'er, Uncle Shi teased you, I met you because of God's kindness, if it weren't for you, I don't know what kind of person I would become, I feel like I have a taste in my life with you."
Yu Ming's earthy love words are a set, and Mu Xiyun immediately laughed again, Duo'er is used to seeing this kind of scene, but Xiaoshuang blushed, secretly looked at Wuwei over there, and then lowered her head shyly.
"Big brother, did you enter the palace today to discuss the matter of sacrificing to the heavens next month?" Wuwei felt Xiaoshuang's scorching gaze, and quickly found an excuse to divert the topic.
"Well, now Your Majesty is in poor health, so the ceremony can only be presided over by His Royal Highness the Prince, and by the way, I have to tell the ancestors that the prince's wedding ceremony will be held in March next year."
"Time is really fast, in the blink of an eye, we have already returned from Tianyuan Kingdom for a whole year, I don't know how Princess Shulan is doing now?" When Mu Xiyun heard the prince's wedding, she couldn't help but think of the princess of Tianyuan Kingdom, and said a little silently.
"What's the matter, Yun'er, I don't think you're very happy when you mention Princess Shulan?"
"Big brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not have any love for Princess Shulan, so Yun'er should feel sorry for Princess Shulan who really loves His Royal Highness." Wu Wei picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in Mu Xiyun's bowl, and said lightly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like Princess Shulan? No, when it comes to the wedding, I see that he still has a happy look on his face. Yu Mingche said with some surprise.
"It's true, Yu Mingche, don't be deceived by Yu Chengyun, he really doesn't like Princess Shulan, he said that this is a political marriage, and marrying her is all for preservation, this is what he told me and Master personally." Mu Xiyun took a bite of the ribs, and said seriously.
"In this way, I am afraid that there will be more resentment in this deep palace in the future." Yu Mingche sighed and said.
After dinner, Mu Xiyun wanted to go to see the rice and Bingbing, so she took the food prepared by Duo'er to the backyard to find them.
Wuwei was stroking the piano in the courtyard, Xiaoshuang was standing next to him, with a shy expression, Yu Mingche went to change his clothes, and walked in gently, seeing such a scene, he couldn't bear to disturb and was ready to leave.
"Big brother, you might as well say something directly." Wu Wei didn't look up and said softly.
Bai Xiaoshuang saw that they had something to say, so she left with interest.
"Uncle Shi, I took Yun'er to the imperial mausoleum and met the emperor and the concubine."
"I know."
"Uncle Shi is worthy of being Uncle Shi, and he can't hide anything from your eyes."
"I never look at people with my eyes, but with my heart." Wuwei's hands gently rested on the strings, and the song was finished.
"Big brother, what happened to you? Why do your steps seem a little heavier? Wuwei finally raised his head, looked at Yu Mingche seriously, and said.
"I met the old man who served by the emperor's side, Gonggong Chen, and he gave me two things." Saying that, Yu Mingche put the secret edict and wooden box given to him by Chen Gong Bus in front of Wuwei.
"Since it is entrusted by the emperor, it must be a very important thing, and it will definitely help the eldest brother in the future." Wuwei didn't open the secret letter and the wooden box, and said with a light smile.
"Master, don't you open it and take a look? How do you know that it is an important thing? ”
"How can something that can make King Yan feel heavy, how can it not be expensive?"
"Well, that's enough to change the world." Yu Mingche replied a little lonely.
"If you don't want to buy a treasure that you can get without spending a penny, why don't you try it?" Wuwei said with a smile.
"I'm just afraid that this is too valuable, and I have to use countless blood to get it, although it is not what I think in my heart, but I am afraid that the price to pay for it is too great."
"Hesitant things, big brother has done too much, I'm afraid that if you don't use it, others will think that you have this heart, wouldn't it be better to leave a way out for yourself, not to mention that this retreat is more open than now."
The two of them laughed as they spoke, raised their teacups to each other in front of the bright moon in the sky, and toasted each other.
