After King Yue finished eating the noodles, he drank all the noodle soup contentedly, then propped his head on one side, and from time to time he stretched out his hand and messed up a few embroidery threads, which attracted Mu Yunyao's stares.
When he reached out his hand again, Mu Yunyao directly pressed his palm: "Stay at ease and don't move."
King Yue took the opportunity to hold Mu Yunyao's finger, pulled it to his lips and kissed it. He was finally satisfied: "Yunyao, too much embroidery hurts your eyes, so you don't have to embroider something for me."
Mu Yunyao smiled and shook her head: "Being able to make clothes and accessories for my loved one with needles is a pleasant thing for me, and besides, it's not a waste to make clothes for you alone. How long does it take to hurt your eyes?"
Yue Wang's heart was even more sweet, he walked to Mu Yunyao and sat down, and stretched out his arms to surround her: "Yao'er, it's May now."
"Well, what happened to May?"
"It's less than half a year from the one-year period you and I set at the beginning. Am I going to start preparing for the dowry?"
Mu Yunyao was startled, and suddenly laughed: "Then you have to prepare more. After all, I am now the granddaughter of the eldest princess. If the dowry is not enough, my grandmother will definitely not agree to you."
"Then it really doesn't work, I'm going to marry you?"
"Okay, when the time comes, I will definitely take good care of you, this little man." Mu Yunyao couldn't stop laughing.
King Yue wrapped Mu Yunyao's waist tighter, with a bright smile in his starry eyes: "You have to have pity on that lady."
"Haha, okay, the princess promised you."
The two laughed and quarreled for a while, and the embroidery threads placed by the soft couch were all messed up. After the laughing was over, King Yue went to the side to read the scrolls, and Mu Yunyao started to play with the embroidery threads again, although the two did their own things. , a silence, but there is a different kind of warmth, quiet lingering.
At this time in the palace, the emperor looked at the boxes of silver placed in the hall, and his whole body was full of anger: "Which beggars were these silver seized from?"
Shen Binghuai responded quickly, "Report to the emperor, that's right."
"There are tens of thousands of silver hidden in the beggars..." The emperor couldn't help sneering, his heart was burning with anger. As he approached his twilight years, he could obviously feel that his physical strength was weak, but the more he did, the more eager he wanted to control everything in his hands. It seemed like this, he was still the emperor who planned the strategies, but now, someone took him As a blind man, let the beggar hide the tax and silver to Beijing
Transport it in the middle of the city, and do these actions under his nose!
"Shen Binghuai, you don't have to deal with this case, I will let people investigate it clearly."
"Yes."
When Shen Binghuai retreated, the emperor took off the jade pendant from his waist and said solemnly, "Wei Yi."
A black-clothed guard quietly appeared in the hall: "My subordinate is here."
"Take the dragon pendant, I want to know all the ins and outs of this matter."
"Yes." Before the voice fell, Wei Yi was no longer in the hall.
Xu Li lowered his head, and when Wei Yi stepped back, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief. I heard a few years ago that Long Pei on the emperor's waist can mobilize the shadow guard, but he has been serving the emperor for a long time. Like a ghost, when I accidentally meet that person's eyes, I feel even more gloomy
It's cold, and at a glance, it is like being in a sea of corpses and blood, which makes people shudder.
In the palace of the eldest princess, just after she had withdrawn the tea cup, she heard a light bird chirping outside, her expression suddenly froze, and she asked the maid to retreat while opening the window.
Not long after, a figure in black came in from the window, without disturbing the people around.
"The slave sees the master."
Princess Yide slowly raised her eyes: "Wei Yi... I am no longer the master of the Shadow Guard, your master is the emperor."
"The Shadow Guard has an iron law, to be loyal to the emperor, and to die for the eldest princess."
"Forget it, after so many years, the emperor has finally used you guys, and it's considered the creation of the Shadow Guard. Don't lose your father's face. In addition, you must control the proportion of the investigation, and you can stop it when you find King Ling and King Jin. , don't implicate others, understand?"
"Yes, slaves take orders."
"Go."
After a while, Madam Qu closed the window and stood on the side of the eldest princess: "It's really surprising that the emperor used the Shadow Guard."
"The emperor is getting old, and many things are out of his control. It's time to help people. How is the situation in the palace?"
"Concubine Zhen was suppressed by Concubine Li, and now she can't support herself, so she found Concubine De, and wanted to win her over to support King Jin. Concubine De was hesitating, but it was Su Yuyi..."
"What happened to Su Yuyi?"
"Concubine Li secretly let people feed Su Yuyi fake pregnant grass, and secretly instructed the imperial physician to help him adjust the pulse case." Princess Yide sneered: "After cleaning up again and again, but this palace is always like this. It's not clean. Concubine De's heart for so many years is that she has no children, so she will be tempted to win Concubine Zhen. But if Su Yuyi can give birth to a child, she can adopt it and put it down. Li Gui
The concubine was aware of this point, and then acted on Su Yuyi, disrupting the union between her and Concubine Zhen. "
"Eldest Princess, do you need to take action to control the harem?"
"The yin in the harem is heavy, and the town cannot be restrained, so let them go."
"Yes."
In the south of the Yangtze River, the construction of the embankment is coming to an end, and Qi Yun once again sent a memorial to Beijing.
When the emperor received the book, without the slightest hesitation, he ordered the king of Ling and the king of Jin to return to Beijing.
Hearing the news, Mu Yunyao gently put down the flower scissors in her hand, and arranged the branches and leaves of the hibiscus flowers in the Magpie Dengmei Liuchun bottle in front of her: "Magpie Dengmei, good omen, Jin Lan, send it to my mother. "
"Yes, ma'am."
King Ling, who received the decree to return to Beijing, was overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to start packing up.
King Jin showed a hesitant look on his face: "Master Qi, the construction of the embankment is now at a critical moment. If I leave like this, can you be busy by yourself?" Qi Yun has been admiring King Jin these days. Who would have thought that, As a dignified prince, King Jin was able to put down all the shelves, soaking in the river for a whole day, and even repeatedly helped the river workers to transport sediment and bricks: "Don't worry too much, Your Highness, the weather these days. very
Well, it hasn't rained all the time. The river is almost done. You've been tired for so long, so you should go back to Beijing to have a good rest. "
"Well, although the father has already made a decree, he doesn't care about delaying for a day or two. The cutting and straightening of Linjiang is at a critical juncture. When the river is re-excavated, I will leave and return to Beijing. If everything goes well, Ben Wang just can help Master Qi to ask for credit." "No, the idea of cutting the bend and straightening was inspired by Princess Wenxian. Later, the smooth completion of the river course cutting and straightening was also due to the credit of the people and the river workers. The lower officials never dare to take credit, but I see that His Royal Highness King Ling has already started to pack up and salute, you won't go together
if… "
"No problem."
After hearing the news here, King Ling sneered coldly, and when he got on his horse and left, he happened to meet King Jin who had just returned to his residence: "Young third, you will continue to gain fame here, and leave first for your brother. , waiting for your good news in Kyoto."
"Then I wish the eldest brother a smooth journey." When King Jin walked into the courtyard, King Ling sneered in a low voice: "The lowly people will only use some lowly methods, thinking that they can control the general trend by winning people's hearts? Delusions! "
