Chapter 192 Second Update
When Mu Qingfeng received the purple jade bracelet personally given by Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, he had already made a decision after thinking about it for only one night.
The purpose and final outcome of this poetry meeting are no longer important at this moment. This jade bracelet has completed his mission, and even if he refuses, it will definitely make people guess the amount of the royal belly.
Moreover, even if this jade bracelet is returned, it will never be possible to give it to the crown princess again.
Mu Qingfeng's target was originally the second piece of color given by the queen mother, a phoenix hairpin, even if it saved his face, it was not enough for him to stand it.
Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Qingfeng was already outside Duanwang's Mansion with his things, although he could not be said to be full of confidence, Mu Qingfeng was very satisfied with his performance.
Mu Qingfeng straightened the clothes on his body, and the little guy on the side was kind and pleasant, waiting with him.
"Master Mu, wait a moment, and our prince will pass you in in a while." When the little guy saw Mu Qingfeng looking at him, he immediately bowed, Mu Qingfeng came to Duanwang's mansion, and the little guy naturally recognized it, and Duanwang appreciated this Lord Mu very much, and the little guy naturally didn't dare to slack off.
"There's Brother Lao." Mu Qingfeng said to the little guy very modestly, and his heart was even more confident.
"What is he doing here?" King Duan frowned, and still personally commanded his subordinates to make the final mounting of the "Book of Longevity", and nodded to Ju Nan, who was also waiting on the side.
"Wait a little longer, I made an appointment for you to come today, but some things were delayed yesterday." Zheng Boding was slightly apologetic.
"The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry, Xia Guan is not busy today." As Ju Nan spoke, he glanced at Steward He who came in to report.
"Let's just say I'm busy, and I won't be free today." King Duan waved his hand, his eyes were impatient without concealing it, Steward He was a little strange, in the past, didn't the prince value this Lord Mu very much? How to ...... today
Steward He didn't dare to ask again, and retreated.
But after a while, Steward He stood hesitantly at the door, not knowing whether to go again.
"And what?" Duanwang is not in a good mood, especially yesterday, his thoughts are like falling into the water, it has always been a stalk in his heart, he doesn't want to investigate thoroughly? It's just that he knows that he is afraid that this thorough investigation will make the peace that he managed to maintain on the surface disappear.
If Nian has been wronged, he can only bear it, and he has to pretend that nothing happens. At the thought of this, Duanwang was like a fish bone stuck in his throat.
"Lord Wang, Lord Mu said, he insisted on waiting, and said that today's matter is very important, and I hope that the prince will meet him when he is busy." Steward He also felt that this Mu Qingfeng was a little strange today, "Lord Wang, the slave looks, this Lord Mu seems to have something important, he still has something in his hand, and his clothes are different from usual." ”
When Duan Wang heard this, he immediately knew what Mu Qingfeng was going to do, and immediately snorted coldly, why, the young lady of the family couldn't climb high, so she remembered Nian Rulai?
He watched it yesterday and had a good conversation!
"Let him in." Duan Wang waved his hand, this matter should be solved, and it should be solved as soon as possible. Fortunately, Nianru is indifferent to these people and doesn't care.
When Mu Qingfeng saw Steward He coming out, he immediately straightened his clothes again, respectfully thanked Steward He first, and then followed the person into the palace.
Mu Qingfeng is very firm in every step, he is a person who is good at planning his life, and he never regrets his choice, and he also knows that people who take the road of unification and testing like him basically have no background and no foundation in the government.
If you want to gain a foothold in the government, you must rely on some forces. However, this power should not be too high, it should be inconspicuous, but it can establish a firm foothold in Nanzheng for at least ten years in the future.
Therefore, Mu Qingfeng knew that Duanwang was not the best choice. And the special identity of the lord of Chaoren is not the best choice.
However, in Mu Qingfeng's life that he had already planned, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation, and there would be a person who would appear, making these things no longer important, and the ordinary life seemed to be good.
"The lower official greets the prince." Therefore, Mu Qingfeng did not regret his choice, his father was a wandering merchant, his mother died early, and although his stepmother who married his father was also diligent in keeping the house, he gave birth to two sons and two girls, and he was more like an invisible person at home.
At the insistence of the clan elders, he was able to study, so he had never been so eager for another home of his own, husband and wife, even if they were plain, but they sang with their husbands. Mu Qingfeng felt that the future mistress of the family was the only one who could make everything look forward to it.
"Qingfeng, why are you here?" Zheng Boding's tone was not good, remembering that there were still outsiders present, but Ju Bachelor was the acting prince at this time to get things.
"Ju Scholar, I'm tired of waiting in the inner sanctum for a while."
Ju Nanyi immediately agreed, and Steward He brought another cup of tea with the apology of his master.
"Ju-sama, you wait a moment."
"It's okay, what a housekeeper please." Ju Nanyi's expression was faint, and even Steward He couldn't help but sigh, such a calm young man was indeed a rare talent.
Ju Nanyi stood like jade, and at the moment when Steward He left, he immediately took two steps forward, directly approaching the thick hollow carved wood that was only separated from the outer hall, although the voice of the outer hall was not very clear, but it also reached Ju Nanyi's ears nine times out of ten.
"King Duan, it is a little abrupt to come to the late life today, but the late life believes that the prince is not a layman who is bound by secular prejudices, and the late life is coming with twelve points of sincerity, and I implore the prince to marry the county lord to the younger generation." Mu Qingfeng respectfully put the wooden box in his hand on the ground, although this jade bracelet is not comparable to the illustrious family affairs and strength, but it is what the Queen Mother wanted to give to the crown princess.
With this jade bracelet, even if Mu Qingfeng asks to marry a noble lady, it is not unsuccessful.
King Duan glanced at the wooden box, he didn't need to open it to know what was inside, and glanced at Mu Qingfeng, who was kneeling with him in a big salute. To be honest, King Duan used to be very optimistic about Mu Qingfeng.
It's just that what Zheng Songyuan said is not unreasonable, what does Mu Qingfeng think about Nianru? Or do you fancy Nianru as a springboard, if you are like a fish in water in the officialdom in the future, then why will Nianru hold him? Judging from the expressions on his eloquent expressions talking with other ladies of the family, if he has a place in the court in the future, I am afraid that there will be no place for Nianru in this back house.
Besides, he didn't want to be aggrieved to be in the same place with others.
Mu Qingfeng in front of him is obviously not a person who can be held casually, he acts decisively and thoughtfully, so King Duan feels that a person who has no mind and only likes Nianru's beauty can make Nianru's life more comfortable in the future.
Mu Qingfeng was slightly stunned, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that something was wrong, but it was clear that when he first expressed his intentions, King Duan was very pleased.
