Three days later, the inner court issued three wills at the same time.
Prince She moved back to the East Palace, still thinking about it behind closed doors.
Concubine Yue repented and was reinstated as an imperial concubine.
Jin Jing's concubine is Jing Concubine.
For a time, the government and the opposition were confused, wondering what kind of medicine this gourd was selling, His Majesty the unpredictable Sacred Heart.
Under the huge halo of Concubine Yue's heavy title of noble concubine, Jing Concubine's promotion to the throne was not so noticeable. She has been in the palace for more than 30 years, and she has never done anything wrong. She was born with a prince and opened the mansion as an adult. It is natural to get a concubine, but she has been neglected and ignored for many years. Therefore, the people from the harem and others, after coming to congratulate in a perfunctory manner, still flocked to the Zhaoren Palace of the Yuegui Concubine in large groups. There are only a very few keen people who have linked the gift that was given to King Jing in the previous year and Jing Concubine's promotion. They sensed in advance that there seems to be an upstart who is about to rise, so they came to try their best to befriend.
But whether it was Concubine Jing or King Jing, the mother and son all showed a taste of indifference, polite but distant, Concubine Jing only received courtesy, not even He Yi. Apart from the change in her position when she met the Queen, it was almost impossible to feel that this promotion had any practical significance to her. Some people even think that her promotion was just a foil to the emperor's majesty in order to prevent Concubine Yue from appearing abruptly.
King Jing's behavior was slightly different from hers. He knew that he didn't know enough about the courtiers, and he completely trusted Mei Changsu's judgment and decision-making, so he had been making friends strictly according to the people recommended by Mei Changsu. He treats the people with whom he communicates with the same etiquette, but it is under the same etiquette that there are subtle differences in intimacy. Mei Changsu knew in his heart that King Jing's way of winning people's hearts would take longer. , but at the same time, there will be a more stable effect.
After the Qingming solar term more than a month ago, Nihuang County Master and Mu Qing had already submitted a request to return to the Yunnan fief. However, within a few days after the Dachu embassy entered the capital, he approved the memorial and agreed with Nihuang to return to the southern border to guard, but he kept Mu Qing. Spend more time with you.
Such an obvious act of keeping hostages almost caused a big wave in Mu Wang's mansion. When he went out of the house, he carefully selected trusted confidants to stay with him, and even warned his younger brother repeatedly, everything was arranged properly, and only then did he arrange his own affairs for returning to Yunnan.
Before leaving, she said goodbye to her friends in the capital one by one, and finally came to Su's house.
In the newly renovated Su Mansion Garden, there is a late spring time. Begonias are exhausted, peaches and plums are shaded, and there is an air of hurting spring in the bustling. After the subordinates left, the two who stood side by side under the flower stand were no longer Mei Changsu and the princess, but Lin Shu and his little Nihuang.
Just a faint look and a shallow smile can arouse a sense of trust and a warm heart. Nihuang didn't wear strong clothes today, wearing a long skirt with wide sleeves, a plain camellia flower on the temples, and a white jade swaying, even more like her daughter Pingting, but the wind and sadness on her beautiful face is still vivid. Showing the heavy burden on her shoulders and the heavy burden in her heart.
"Brother Lin Shu, Nihuang is gone, we won't be able to see you again in a short time. I have some connections in Yunnan Mufu in Beijing. This Huanggang jade plaque was handed down by my grandfather, and even Qing'er must be ordered by the licensee. I must obey. I entrust it to the big brother today, and I hope you will not quit."
Following these sincere words, Nihuang Yingying bowed down, holding out an ancient jade plaque with a smooth and creamy face, engraved with a mu character in seal script, and water ripples around the bottom.
Mei Changsu's expression was solemn, and his eyes slowly fell on this token. He knew in his heart that the woman who had solely supported the Mu Clan in Yunnan solemnly entrusted him with not only the face jade, but also the safety of his beloved brother in Beijing. Once she took over, it would be a very heavy responsibility. However, at this moment, he was not allowed to hesitate, and he did not even think about hesitation. The only response was to take it without hesitation and lift Nihuang from the ground.
"Don't worry, the emperor is just a check and balance, not a thought. Although Qing'er has little experience, he is a smart and smart child. With me in the capital for a day, he will not be in any danger."
There were shallow pear eddies on Nihuang's cheeks, but a pair of eyes as clear as the bright moon were covered with a layer of tears, "Brother Lin Shu, you... also take care..."
Mei Changsu gave her a gentle smile. There is no need to say any unnecessary words, not even Nie Duo. As long as each other knows each other's concerns and the purest and softest part of each other's hearts, it is enough.
Princess Nihuang left Jinling in the early morning of April 10, and the emperor sent a cabinet letter to the city gate to show his favor. In addition to the courtiers who came to pay their respects, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xia Dong and others naturally also came, but in the crowd seeing off, there was no Mei Changsu. And it seems to be expected.
Judging from the appearance, Yu Wenxuan, the envoy of the Great Chu, is a typical southern Chu person, with sparse eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tall stature, narrow shoulders, and looks very thin, but his demeanor and actions reveal a force that cannot be ignored.
The Dachu royal family does not lead troops, so Yuwenxuan has not directly fought against Nihuang County Master, but in any case, everyone in the world knows that the centuries-old feud between the Mu clan who has guarded the southern border and Dachu in all dynasties, not to mention The previous generation King Mu was killed in battle with the Chu army, and Princess Nihuang himself has experienced the danger of life and death many times.
Therefore, the mausoleum king of the Great Chu dared to run outside the gate of the capital of Daliang to see off the female marshal of the southern border who had been hostile for many years. It was indeed a bit daring.
Mu Qing's face had already sunk like the bottom of a pot after seeing the Chu clothes and the chariots and horses of this group of visitors. In contrast to him, a proud smile appeared on the face of Princess Nihuang.
"I've seen Princess Nihuang." Yu Wenxuan got off the carriage and walked up quickly to give a salute.
"His Royal Highness King Ling." Nihuang returned a salute, "Is this going out of the city?"
"Where, I made a special trip to see the county lord off and express my gratitude to the county lord." Yu Wenxuan's eyes formed a smile.
These words were a little surprising, and Nihuang couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Thank me for what?"
"There is a way of war in the world, only the people suffer. I have always advocated that the two countries live in peace and do not interfere with each other. However, the lord of our country always admires the beauty of Jinling and always wants to go north. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of war, so I want to thank the county master a lot."
What he said was strange, and the truth seemed to be correct, but when he said it from the mouth of a Daliang royal family, it was inexplicably uncomfortable. It seemed that he was really showing his favor to Nihuang, and it seemed There is a hint of irony, but when I want to refute him, I can't find a place to refute him.
"Okay, His Royal Highness Lingwang has almost spoken the polite words. Please come back. We still have something to tell my sister." Because of his emissary status, although Mu Qing is not rude, he can't show anything. good face.
"This is..." Yu Wenxuan stared at him, looking like he didn't know each other, only when his subordinates came over and whispered something before showing a stunned expression, "Ah, so it's Mu Xiaowang. Please forgive me for my clumsiness. We Chu people have always only known that there is Princess Nihuang, but I don't know what Prince Mu is. The battle has been fought by my sister. The little prince is really blessed. What do you usually like to do? Embroidery? It's a pity I My sister didn't come, she loves to embroider..."
Even some people in the city couldn't stand his deliberate agitation, not to mention the young and vigorous Mu Qing, who immediately blushed and jumped up, but was held down by his sister.
"His Royal Highness Lingwang is also very eye-catching," Nihuang County said coldly, "Nihuang has never seen His Highness on the battlefield. It can be seen that he is also not fighting. Is it possible that he also entertains himself with embroidery on weekdays?"
Yu Wenxuan smiled, but he didn't care, "I am an idle prince, it's fine if I don't fight, but as a border guard, Prince Mu has never appeared under the banner of the battlefield king. This is not a blessing. What? I really envy him..."
Mu Qing slammed into anger and broke free from her sister's hand. As he rushed forward, he drew out his sharp sword, pointed it at Yu Wenxuan's throat, and said loudly, "Listen to me, after I attack the lord, naturally I won't do it again. Let my sister work hard, if you are a man, don't just use your words, see you on the battlefield!"
"Tsk tsk tsk," Yu Wenxuan smacked his lips and smiled, "I'm so angry? Now that the marriage between your two countries is imminent, where will there be war? The cruel words, of course, are let go by Mu Wangye. As for whether I am a man... Hehe, a little boy like Mu Wangye, I'm afraid I can't judge... "
Princess Nihuang frowned. This Yu Wenxuan has a good mouth, and it is obvious that he is trying to make his younger brother angry, but there is nothing wrong with what he said other than being irritating. Oh, it's a pity that the temperament of young people, how can they be able to stabilize when they are so ridiculed? If you keep developing like this, you will be embarrassed. If you stop him, you will gain Chu's influence and destroy Qingdi's spirit. If you protect him, I'm afraid that person will say that Qingdi is worthless because of his elder sister Yiyou. I'm afraid that the younger brother's tongue is far from that person's opponent...
Just as her eyebrows moved slightly and she hesitated in her heart, Xiao Jingrui took a step forward and sneered: "His Royal Highness, since you know that the two of you have no chance to win the battle, why are you talking so much nonsense? As an adult, he will be a part of the king's banner in the future. If you really envy him for being able to lead the army of iron cavalry in the future, but you can only do embroidery all the time, just make it clear. I don't think that Mu Xiaowang will be stingy. I'll give you a chance to fight face to face, but I don't know if His Royal Highness King Ling dares to accept it?"
Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, don't talk nonsense, what kind of skill is it? You and I can fight right now. If you don't have the guts to fight me, ask your men to come down and a few people to go up. It's all right!"
Yan Jinyu saw that Yu Wenxuan was thin, but his footsteps were flimsy, and his martial arts accomplishments were obviously far inferior to Mu Qing, who was a family of martial arts. Crisply confronted face to face, and immediately said: "Our Daliang customs are different from your country's. We like to speak with strength, but we don't like to talk, especially men. You don't like it even more. Your Royal Highness, you should follow the customs of the country and spit out a few lotus flowers in your mouth. , how about saving your breath and discussing it?"
