No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 169 King Mu fainted (one more)
When Prince Mu's son Xie Jin led his concubine into the flower hall, he paused for a moment because of the dignified and weird atmosphere in the flower hall.

Soon he regained his calm expression, and the couple greeted Mu Wang, who was sitting on the main seat with red eyes and panting heavily, and Mu Wangfei, who was sitting in the corner and looked like a pissed daughter-in-law.

Every time Xie Yan came back, his father would be in a bad mood, this time it was just that he was very angry, it was not a big deal.

Compared to other people in Mu Wangfu, Mu Wang Shizi actually likes his third younger brother back, not because he likes this half-brother so much, but simply because he feels uncomfortable seeing his father and Xie Heng's family. Just pleasure.

"Third brother, big brother."

Xie Jin greeted his two brothers again, but his eyes fell on Xie Heng's left leg in some surprise.

Such an obvious injury, he couldn't see it unless he was blind.

It's just that Xie Jin doesn't quite understand, Xie Heng usually has a headache and he can't wait to call most of the doctors in Shangyong, why is he still motionless today when he is injured like this?
Not only did he not move, but also the side concubine Mu Wang and his sister-in-law who loved their children like their own life?
And looking at the family's mournful appearance, if King Mu was not still sitting on the throne, he would have thought that the old man had died.

Xie Jin looked around at the crowd, but still looked at Xie Yan and said, "Third brother, you asked me to come over, but what's the matter?"

Xie Yan nodded slightly and said, "Second Brother, please sit down."

Xie Jin and Shi Zifei went to the side and sat down. The people sent by Xie Yan did not tell them what happened, but looking at the expressions of everyone in the room except Xie Yan, they knew that it might not be a trivial matter.

Xie Yan took a sip of the tea that the maid had just brought up, and said, "Father is old, and it's time for him to enjoy the rest of his life. It's not appropriate to be so tired."

Xie Jin was a little confused, tired?

King Father doesn't have any real power like Uncle Ning. Every day he either drinks and enjoys flowers, listens to music and amuses birds, or plays with beautiful concubines, where is he tired?

Oh, it's quite exhausting to help Dafang calculate the titles of Chu Palace and Mu Palace all day long.

Xie Jin nodded, "What does the third brother mean?"

Xie Yan said: "I have ordered the clan's residence to prepare, and the title will be inherited by the second brother."

Xie Jin's heart was shocked, no matter how much he wanted to watch the excitement, he never thought that Xie Yan came to him for this matter.

He quickly thought about this matter in his mind. Dasheng's title inheritance generally adopts the form of demotion. Without great merit or the love of the superior, it is unlikely that he will inherit the title without being degraded.

Therefore, once he seizes the title, Mu Wangfu will become the county prince's mansion.

It does sound inferior to the Prince's Mansion, but the existence of his son is actually all due to the imperial edict of Emperor Gaozu.If King Mu could choose by himself, he might pass the title to Xie Heng without hesitation.

Even though they have stuffed Xie Chengyou into Chu Palace these years, they still haven't stopped thinking about the position of the son of Mu Palace.Whether he can successfully inherit the title is still unknown.

Now that he can attack the noble in advance, he naturally has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

only……

Xie Jin looked at Xie Yan, "Third brother, my father is now..." King Mu is still alive, and he is not lying on the bed unable to get up. This is obviously done by the third brother forcibly, and there will probably be criticisms from outsiders.

Xie Yan said indifferently: "This king is also for the good of my father."

Xie Jin looked at King Mu who sat on the main seat with red eyes but livid face like a ghost, and fell silent.

It seemed that his father and king could not defeat the third younger brother after all.

So Xie Jin also nodded and said: "If that's the case, I will listen to the third brother. Don't worry, the third brother, I will do my best to support my father and mother, and I will definitely not let the two suffer any grievances."

Xie Yan nodded slightly, "My second brother's words, of course, I can trust."

The prince and concubine of Prince Mu who was next to him didn't expect to be overjoyed, and quickly followed suit, saying: "My lord, don't worry, my son and I will serve our mother and concubine with all our heart."

Although she is the crown prince, it is said that the crown princess should be in charge of Prince Mu's inner court.But these years, the power of the inner court has been held in the hands of the side concubine, and even the first young wife Han is more popular than her, the eldest concubine, in the mansion.

Except for some special occasions when she, the eldest concubine, needs to come forward, Mu Wang's side concubine and Han's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hold the power in the mansion tightly.

Not to mention being demoted to the title of Prince of the County, even if he was demoted to a third class and became a Marquis, the Crown Prince would still be willing.

"My second sister-in-law." Xie Yan said.

The important event related to the succession of the title of Mu Wangfu seems to have reached an agreement in the understatement of the three people.

Xie Heng's family, who had already been dealt with by Xie Yan, couldn't jump anymore. Even though their faces were full of grief and resentment, they never dared to say another word.

As for Xie Chengyou, he stood on the side in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Yan glanced at Xie Chengyou, and said, "There is one more thing, Brother Lao."

Xie Jin followed his gaze, and instantly understood in his heart.

"Xie Chengyou will still go back to elder brother's knees to fulfill his filial piety in the future, and the Mu An Palace may have to support one more person." Xie Yan said.

Xie Jin didn't ask the reason, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? It's just a few more people. Xuan Yu is also the grandson of the father, my nephew, as it should be."

At the time when the father forced Xie Yan to adopt Xie Chengyou, he thought it was ridiculous. Let a son who was healthy and unmarried in his prime be an adoptive heir?Is Xie Chengyou's parents dead?
But Xie Yan himself didn't strongly object, so naturally he wouldn't be too troublesome.

How can cheap titles be obtained so easily?
At the beginning, Xie Chengyou jumped up and down and stood out from the big brothers and became the son of Chu Wangfu. Now he is thrown back by Xie Yan and he is in an embarrassing situation.

After the matter was finished, Xie Yan didn't intend to stay for a long time, he stood up and said: "If there is nothing to do, I will go ahead first. The imperial edict to attack the noble will arrive at the Mu Palace in the afternoon. Second brother, let's prepare."

Xie Jin hurriedly got up to see him off, "Thank you, third brother."

Xie Yan glanced at the people in the flower hall, turned around and walked out without saying anything.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, there was an exclamation from inside, "My lord! What's wrong with you, my lord?!"

"It's not good, the prince has fainted!"

"Father!"

The flower hall behind was in chaos, Xie Yan raised his head to glance at the bright sky, and strolled towards the outside.

Princess Taihua and her party were personally sent out by the Luo family, and went to the palace happily.

This news also flew to every corner of Shangyonghuang City as if it had grown wings.

People who were already waiting for the news had mixed feelings when they heard the news.

Some people shook their heads and sighed, some regretted inexplicably, some were worried, and naturally some were extremely happy.

But no matter what outsiders think, everyone knows in their hearts that no one can shake the marriage between the Luo family and the Chu Palace.

After sending off Princess Taihua and his party back to the mansion, Luo Yun couldn't help but turn red eyes when he looked at the well-behaved and beautiful daughter, "Yao Yao will soon become someone else's family."

He, a general who has been on the battlefield for decades, lost his composure, and others were embarrassed to say anything.

Su simply turned his head away as if he didn't see anything, Luo Jinxing also coughed lightly, looked left and right but didn't look at his father.

The only calm Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "I just mentioned marriage, and it will take time to prepare for the wedding. Even if it is soon, it will be the beginning of spring next year. However, it is still time to prepare for the wedding and dowry."

Su Shi also heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said: "The dowry has been preparing for these years, but it does take some time to take care of it. Also, since Yao Yao is going to be a princess, there are still many things that should be learned. , when you don't go to school in the future, follow me and learn how to be a housekeeper."

She didn't want to see a man as big as General Luo, with red eyes and tears.

Goosebumps are all over my body.

Luo Junyao couldn't help but want to howl, the housekeeper... sounds like a lot of trouble.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Su knew what she was thinking, and said, "Don't try to run away. If you obediently followed your big sister to learn, why would you be so hasty now?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, "It's not that I haven't learned anything."

Su nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, I helped your elder sister take care of the dowry earlier, but I learned a little bit."

Su knew in her heart that this child was actually very smart and quick to learn everything, but he was a bit lazy about things he didn't like.

Luo Yun hesitated and said, "How about... If Yao Yao doesn't like it, how about we send a few more housekeepers when we get married later?"

Su Shi silently rolled her eyes in her heart, raised her hand and rubbed her brows and said, "Leave the general alone, if you have time, let's see what dowry I want to add to Jun Yao."

Looking at his wife's disapproving eyes and his eldest son's disapproving eyes, Luo Yun could only sigh, "Okay, I'll go check the warehouse to see if there are any good things."

Luo Jinxing volunteered and said: "Father, I will go too!"

It seems that the father and son can only do these things, and those complicated and trivial things should be left to smart people.
