Chapter 157: I Want You (Second Shift) (1 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCCInside the palace, Consort Rong knelt at the Emperor’s feet and begged bitterly.
“The king has no jokes, there is no such thing as changing one’s orders from one day to the next not to mention the great matter of reconciliation.” The emperor said in a deep voice.
“Your Majesty, Luo’er is your favorite princess, do you really want to let her marry to the North Greenland” Rong Fei did not expect the North Greenland actually came to ask for marriage, and the name of the request or her daughter, Rong Fei is now only this Jun Yuluo a daughter, if she went with the family, that she has what what to expect!
What’s more, the North Green Country is full of risks before going, Luo’er is afraid that this trip will be fatal.
“I am not willing to give up, but I can’t not be able to do so.” The emperor said, no more words, lifted his steps and left the palace.
Princess Rong was paralyzed on the ground, she knew that pleading was useless, but she still wanted to touch it, even though she now knew that there was no hope at all, she still refused to stop.
She braced herself to get up and turned her eyes to see Jun Yuluo come out from within her chambers, her eyes flashing a touch of coldness low as she looked at Consort Rong, “Mother Consort, are you going to the Palace of Eternal Life”
“En.” Consort Rong nodded, “Although the Empress Dowager rarely steps forward nowadays, but wherever there is a bit of hope it is also necessary to go.”
“Mother consort, you know very well in your heart, so why bother,” Jun Yuluo let out a bitter smile, “Harmony isn’t a bad thing, rather than staying in this palace and being tortured to death one day, it would be better to go far away to the Northern Qing Kingdom, and perhaps find a place of peace and quiet.”
“Luo’er ah, that North Qing country can’t be you to go” Rong Fei saw Jun Yuluo so said, rushed forward and said, “You have to know, Amazing and North Qing never have peace, you are the first, but also the great prince named beg, here is not there is not a strange place! “
“Strange,” Jun Yuluo sneered, “Yes, it is strange, but Father has also promised that unless I die, I will be married into the Northern Qing Kingdom since.”
“My Luo’er.” Consort Rong wrapped her in her arms, “Mother Consort only has you nowadays.”
“Mother Consort, don’t worry, my daughter will not die.” Jun Yu Luo did not want to die, yet she knew that she had no choice.
Mu Zi Yan sat alone in the courtyard looking at the night sky, let the cold wind blow, but do not feel cold.
Zhang Zong dryly coughed a few times and came out from his study, seeing her like this, he went forward and sat on her side, “You are completely disregarding your body.”
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “No, just thinking about something.”
“Oh.” Zhang Zong continued, “Yes, you’re thinking about the Sixth Princess’s marriage.”
“Just think it’s too sudden.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “And the Northern Qing country’s great prince, in the courtroom above is also considered a significant person, the nature of the thick, kind, although not a candidate for the crown prince, but it is also a person with a chest of grooves.”
“Are you puzzled as to why the Grand Prince would beg the Sixth Princess instead of the Fifth Princess,” Zhang Zong continued.
“Great Amazing and Northern Qing have never made peace, moreover, I think that making peace itself is a humiliating thing for a country.” Mu Zi Yan said coldly, “And yet the Emperor agreed to it, why is that”
“You are thinking that the Sixth Princess is not going to the Northern Qing Kingdom for a pure purpose this time,” Zhang Zong said in a low voice.
“Maybe.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked into the distance, “One wave has not yet subsided and another wave has arisen, and all of them are beyond my control, it has only been less than a year now, so what about the next two years or so what should happen that I don’t know about”
She wondered, if the trajectory had been detached from the moment of her rebirth, would it still follow the trajectory of her previous life three years later Then, after that, would she still exist?
Zhang Zong thought she was sentimentalizing the fate of being a woman, he whispered, “Are you thinking of yourself”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan undeniably nodded her head and said, “My life is at my mercy, I will never allow anyone to manipulate me.”
Zhang Zong laughed brightly, “Smokey, sometimes I feel that this mind of yours is deeper than the Emperor’s, and sometimes you’re naive, however, you seem to have a lot of unknown secrets.”
Mu Zi Yan was amused by Zhang Zong’s words and spoke with a smile, “That’s true.”
Zhang Zong raised his eyes to look at her and slowly got up, “If there’s anything you can’t figure out, don’t stay outside, it’s cold, beware of getting sick, they’re all staring at me.”
Mu Zi Yan followed suit and got up, “Okay, I’m going back.”
“En.” Zhang Zong nodded his head, and then he saw Mu Zi Yan turn around and go back to the house.
Zhang Zong put his hands behind his back, his handsome and simple face with a few light smiles, lifting his steps, he also went back.
At dawn the next day, the Emperor issued a decree and sent a notice to the world that the date of the Sixth Princess’s marriage had been set for ten days later, and that Zhong Xuan’s marriage would take place in another month.
Jun Yuluo did not make a fuss, except for that day when Consort Rong went to beg the Emperor, and then respectfully received the imperial decree.
For his part, the Grand Prince of the Northern Qing Kingdom stayed at the post, since he had to personally escort the peace ceremony to his home country.
Mu Zi Yan only felt that recently there were quite a few more happy events, and thought that there would not be any more big events, since Chu Ye left and left that letter, she knew that Chu Ye had left, and was afraid that he would not come back for a very long time.
She was sitting in the hall, Niangzi Lu was making tea on the side, lifting her eyes to look at her thoughtful expression, she asked in a low voice, “Yes, won’t you go to the hot spring manor to take a look”
“Just came back yesterday.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.
“The one called Yun Fei is a good kid.” Lady Lu continued.
“Child,” the corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth turned away slightly, “He’s even older than me.”
“But that nature is like a child.” Lady Lu said with a smile.
“He should be unhindered now.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “These days have been much cleaner.”
“All of them are preparing things for the Sixth Princess’s reconciliation, since there will be no more chaos.” Niangzi Lu continued, “Smokey is going to see that Northern Qing Country’s Grand Prince.”
“Do not go.” Mu Zi Yan in his previous life is seen, so this life but not in a hurry, she is still not clear why the great prince actually want to marry the sixth princess, here exactly what secrets hidden If she went at the moment, may attract unnecessary trouble.
She is now only to guard against the Northern Qing Dynasty is, or do not interfere too much, after all, she is now the power is still very thin, more importantly, her own ability is still very small, and the only can be used is Chu Ye to give her hot springs manor manpower, but she does not have their own batch of capable, so Mu Zi Yan now calculating how to be able to have their own forces in the shortest possible time.
There were still more than two years of time, she could do many things, so she would not take the initiative to provoke the Northern Qing Country nowadays.
“You’re not curious,” Niangzi Lu saw Mu Zi Yan’s calm demeanor, indeed she didn’t care about the Northern Green Country.
“Curious about what,” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a cold smile, “Perhaps the Sixth Princess marrying over may not be a bad thing.”
“But the Sixth Princess is deeply hidden, what if it’s a conspiracy to go there then” Niangzi Lu asked worriedly.
“Sister Lu is not not interested in the affairs of the court, how come now than I am still interested” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, jokingly asked.
“That also depends on who is whispering in my ear all day long” Niangzi Lu snorted coldly, knowing that Mu Zi Yan had her own plans, so she didn’t say anything.
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “It was my fault.”
“Yes.” Niangzi Lu saw that she looked a bit weary these past few days, then she got up, “Why don’t you go out for a walk”
“I ah, just want to bring sit like this for a while, what’s there to see outside.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Niangzi Lu and guffawed.
Niangzi Lu said helplessly, “Okay, then I’ll stay with you, I don’t like to be busy anyway.”
Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Yes, it’s still Sister Lu who is the best.”
Mu Zi Jing thought about the night, finally compromised, the next day will take the carriage back to the Marquis of Mu, into the house, looking at the familiar marquis in front of the eyes, Mu Zi Jing, but how can not find the feeling of staying here, only feel that this is like a hell of life.
Her eyes flashed a touch of gloom, thinking that she is now only ten years old, but she has to bear all this alone, this heart is since the sadness.
To go to the long pine courtyard, the old lady saw her back, eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, said in a deep voice, “come back then good, these days you in the mansion in the head is almost raised, the spring year is approaching, you want to stay outside, plainly gossiped about by the side, when the start of the child does not know the gravity of the evil intentions, in the event that there is a short and long, you call grandmother how to do! “
“Granddaughter has made grandmother worry.” Mu Zi Jing listened to the old madam’s words, this was not concern, it was clearly a warning, if she didn’t come back, but she was going to be killed.
In her heart, she hated and feared the old madam, if it wasn’t for her, her mother wouldn’t have died, and if it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have ended up in the situation she was in today.
Seeing Mu Zi Jing obediently responding, the old madam waved her hand and said, “Go down and rest.”
“Yes.” Mu Zi Jing blessed herself and answered, then retreated.
To be back to their own courtyard, raised his eyes and looked at the cold and quiet look, where can be compared to these days live in the mansion at ease, think about it, will be annoyed.
“Third Miss, you should be more careful.” Shuang’er warned carefully.
“Hmph.” Mu Zi Jing knows the meaning of the words of the double, now is not in the outside of the mansion, in the Marquis of Mu, she is not the third miss, who will be in her eyes, and who will not dare to step on a few feet towards the
When Mu Zi Jing thought about this, she was depressed, but she could only sigh repeatedly, and without even eating lunch, she lay down to rest.
Qi was aware that Mu Zi Jing had returned to the mansion, she laughed lowly and said, “The old madam is good at finding people, but this Jing girl has also grown a lot.”
“It’s always not going to be submissive to the old madam.” Sister Cui went on to say, thinking of today’s Mu Hou House, the second house moved out, the third house is in disarray, the old lady has lost the second house’s help, and now the third house is also separated from her heart, in the past, the old lady in the Mu Hou House is the call of the wind and rain, but now it is the loss of the left hand and right hand arm, and can only be alone in the battle.
Sister Cui secretly said that she deserved it, so she also smiled and went forward, taking the rice porridge and handing it to Qi.
“Madam, you said that the matter of the Sixth Princess’s marriage is not a bit fishy,” Sister Cui looked at Qi and asked, “I’m worried that in case the Northern Qing Dynasty becomes addicted to it, and there is another Second Prince or Third Prince, what should we do if the eldest young lady has her heart set on her?”
Qi listened to Sister Cui’s words, “She is now within the Imperial Tombs and cannot leave without the Empress Dowager’s decree, so she should be fine for the next few years.”
“Although the words are true, however, it’s hard for the old slave to avoid being a little worried.” Sister Cui had comforted Qi last time, but now she was worried instead.
Seeing her say so, Qi’s eyes sank, “Wait a little longer, although these days look peaceful, why do I feel that something big will happen”
“It’s the old slave who has been worrying blindly.” Hearing Qi say so, Sister Cui hurriedly returned.
“Your worry is right.” Qi whispered, “Now but also can not be, this after the spring year, the fourth princess will be in labor, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Mu Marquis House, these days it is better to live in peace.”
“Yes.” Sister Cui answered with her head hanging down, and then she said no more.
Zhu Yue learned that Mu Zi Jing came back, lying on the bed and laughed coldly, “The old pious woman is really smart, want to seek Mu Zi Jing to find my bad luck, that also do not see whether there is that ability.”
Ruqin stood aside and said, “Madam, the slave girl sees that the third young miss is unwilling.”
“That’s right, a person stays outside the mansion how comfortable, plainly called back by the old pious woman, where will be more comfortable than inside the mansion.” Zhu Yue coldly snorted, “She ah, if she is restless, I will let her be more peaceful.”
Ruqin hung her head and responded, “Your Ladyship said yes.”
Ever since the Sixth Princess’s marriage was finalized, the other families had become much more peaceful, there were those who were watching, those who were restrained, and those who were waiting for the right time.
Especially the Marquis Zhong’s residence, now even more so, Marquis Zhong daily in addition to official business, then directly back to the Marquis Zhong’s residence, closed the door to thank the guests.
Zhong Xuan, on the other hand, went to Mingyue Academy, and so did Su Qinrou and Hou Yi Yi, but instead, Mu Zi Yan stole half a day’s leisure and was completely free for a few days.
This is happy bad Mu Zi Yan, she lazily lying on the soft couch all day long to read books, or cultivate internal strength, but is very comfortable, even Lv Niangzi look, can not help but sigh a sigh, this is what the big girl should do all day long.
Yi-concubine after the joy, very cautious, originally worried that Princess Rong will be unfavorable to her, but now because of the sixth princess, Princess Rong has no time to deal with her, Yi-concubine has been relieved.
Jun Qianrui these days is more than a habit, that is, every now and then will drag the cloud consort out of the palace, pointing in the direction of the imperial tomb, let the cloud consort to take him to, just say is to see sister.
Yun Fei looked down at but more than a year old child, surprisingly because of Mu Zi Yan on his care, so nostalgic, she is gratified, just now she is not able to easily go out, and Mu Zi Yan far away from the imperial tombs can not enter the palace.
She looked down at Jun Qian Rui, “When the day warms up, mother consort will take you there again”
“En.” Jun Qian Rui grew more and more white and tender, and that look was exactly the same as Concubine Yun, so he thought that when he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome and unrivaled man.
Concubine Yun was coaxing Jun Qian Rui when she saw the palace maid come, “Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived.”
“En.” Concubine Yun nodded her head in response, and then she carried Jun Qian Rui forward to welcome the Emperor.
The emperor entered the palace, see Yun Fei went up to salute, and beside Jun Qianrui also followed the kneeling on the ground, although very small, this rule but learn very proper, which let the emperor every time he came, the heart is ironed out a lot.
After all, Jun Qianrui is also regarded as he has been watching grown up, this harem, can let him personally watch grow up not many imperial son, and Jun Qianrui is regarded as a rare one.
The emperor’s eyebrows more than a few points of rare visible warmth, this person is old, the most like to see the innocence of things, especially the child’s simple and clear eyes, “leveled off.”
“Thank you, Father.” Jun Qian Rui is now able to speak these three words smoothly, since the emperor is surprised, but remember a few days ago when he came over, he could only babble but could not hear clearly.
The emperor’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise, and then the dragon’s face was so pleased that he reached out and then held Jun Qianrui in his arms, looking at Jun Qianrui’s dark eyes that were clean and pure without any impurities, he nodded his head with satisfaction, “Aifei teaches well.”
Concubine Yun sighed, “Concubines don’t have this blessing.”
“Haha.” The emperor listened even more ironic, holding Jun Qianrui then entered the bedchamber, Yun Fei is accompanied from the side, far from looking, but it is cozy, but who can think, just a short time ago, these two people are still counting on each other.
This is the palace exam, there is no true love, there are just trickery and endless calculations.
Consort Rong was worried, looking at Jun Yuluo calmly dancing the sword at one side, but her heart was mixed, she looked at Jun Yuluo, “Luo’er, did you really think about it?”
“Mother consort, now there is still room for me to choose,” Jun Yuluo is unwilling, she waited for Mu Lingxuan for so many years, but in the end it was a blank, which makes her how to be able to die, but, now she had to go to the peace marriage.
Concubine Rong sighed quietly, “Luo’er ah, you have to think clearly, if you really go to the Northern Qing Kingdom, mother consort is afraid that she won’t be able to help you with anything.”
“Mother consort don’t worry, my daughter has her own ideas, tomorrow my daughter will go to see that grand prince.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.
“Good.” When Concubine Rong saw Jun Yuluo acting too calmly, she had originally thought that Jun Yuluo would lose her temper, but now
Early the next morning, Jun Yuluo left the palace and headed for the post.
Inside the guest room of the stagecoach station, a man was sitting on a chair, raising his eyes to look at the woman sitting across from him, and the two of them were talking happily.
“It’s a surprise to me that the Grand Imperial Prince has come.” The woman on the opposite side was dressed in a long reddish-colored dress, her eyebrows tinged with a touch of flavor, and she was currently saying with a smile.
“Zhong two miss come for what” the big prince Xuanyuan濬 looks slightly rough, but through the body through a stream of easy-going and gas, he was wearing a robe unique to the Northern Qing Dynasty, but the waist back is engraved with a ruby scimitar, the whole person looks like a general, formidable and extraordinary.
Zhong Xuan looked at Xuanyuan Joon in front of her and laughed lowly, “It’s just that her heart has doubts.”
“It’s because of the Sixth Princess” Xuanyuan Joon’s tone was also slightly lower, now boldly holding a cup of tea, with his eyes downcast for a slight sip, he looked at her and said.
“Not bad.” Zhong Xuan didn’t beat around the bush and asked bluntly.
“Second Miss Zhong, this is this king’s business, it has nothing to do with you, right?” Xuanyuan濬’s tone towards Zhong Xuan was unkind and even colder.
Zhong Xuan laughed lowly, “It seems that I have nothing to say to the Grand Imperial Prince, so I will take my leave.”
“No sending.” Xuan Yuan Joon said coldly, then he heard the guards come to report, his eyes narrowed slightly, crossing a cold light.
Zhong Xuan had already left through the back door and was sitting in the carriage, her eyes overflowing with frost, “Xuanyuan濬, you’ll have to see how long you can be complacent.”
