Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 308 The Emperor
The courtyard is very quiet, and there are bamboo forests on both sides of the road. When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves sway. Through the gaps between the bamboo branches, you can see a golden ginkgo tree behind the bamboo forest.

Occasionally, a few golden ginkgo leaves were blown onto the path made of stones.

The yard was quiet and there was no one there.

Shen Jiayan had no choice but to walk inside along the stone path.

The yard looks small from the outside. There is a meandering stone path lined with strange rocks, which is quite interesting.

After turning two corners, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Behind the bamboo forest is a ginkgo tree with golden leaves, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves, which are golden.

There was a small stone table under the ginkgo tree, and at the side of the table sat a man in brocade clothes with his back facing him. He was lowering his head, not knowing what he was doing. There were several plates of snacks, dried fruits, and a pot of tea on the table.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the brocade-clothed man didn't turn his head, his figure seemed a little stiff.

Shen Jiayan glanced suspiciously, stopped in his tracks, and was about a zhang away from the man, and asked loudly: "But Prince Cheng? I don't know if the prince called the women to come, what orders do you have?"

The man stood up slowly and turned around.

Shen Jiayan couldn't help taking a step back, why does this person look like Mu Tianze?
Although she hadn't seen him for three years, the figure in front of her was so tall that she needed to raise her head, and the contours of her cheeks became more pronounced. Coupled with the change in status, she was even more dignified and extraordinary.

Only a pair of eyes, like three years ago, revealed a bit of tension and joy.

With a smile on her face, she cupped her hands and saluted Shen Jiayan: "Aunt Shen, after three years of separation, how are you doing?"

Shen Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up and down carefully at Mu Tianze, his complexion was pretty good, and there was no gloomy look between his brows, he looked like a gentle and jade-like prince.

Nodded: "I'm fine, how are you brothers and sisters?"

Mu Tianze made a gesture of invitation, and asked Shen Jiayan to sit down at the stone table, poured a cup of tea for Shen Jiayan himself, and pushed the snacks and a plate of peeled dried walnuts and pine nuts in front of her.

Shen Jiayan took advantage of the situation and sat down, took a sip of tea, and understood in her heart, just now before entering the mansion, she heard that nanny talk about Prince Qi's mansion, how she was so familiar with it.

Isn't this King of Qi the title of Mu Tianze?

It turned out that he actually became a neighbor with Prince Cheng, what a coincidence!

No, where in the world is there such a coincidence?I'm afraid it was specially arranged and designed by Mu Tianze!

And today, it was said that Prince Cheng wanted to see her, but Prince Cheng didn't see her, instead he saw Mu Tianze.

Looking at his tea and the peeled nuts, it must have been planned for a long time.

So he asked straight to the point: "So it's not Prince Cheng who wants to see me, but you, right?"

Mu Tianze nodded: "I heard Uncle Cheng Wang said that Aunt Shen will be arriving in the capital in a few days, so I have the audacity to ask Uncle Cheng Wang to let us meet."

Shen Jiayan's heart skipped a beat, hearing what Mu Tianze meant, did Prince Cheng know about their relationship?

Mu Tianze hurriedly explained: "Aunt Shen, don't panic! Not only Uncle Cheng Wang knows about this, but also Emperor Father! This time, it is Father's intention to let Aunt Shen come to Beijing!"

Shen Jiayan: You might as well not explain it!
If the emperor wants to see him, what good can he do?
Isn't this hurting yourself?Therefore, the look in Mu Tianze's eyes was somewhat unfriendly.

Mu Tianze looked at the way Shen Jiayan clenched his fists, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then laughed and said, "Aunt Shen, don't worry, it's a good thing!"

Shen Jiayan rolled his eyes, I believe in you!The hearts of the royal family are very dirty!

Mu Tianze smiled and dropped a shocking thunder: "Aunt Shen, do you still remember what our brothers and sisters said at the beginning? We said that we would support you for the rest of your life! I thought it was impossible, but now there is a turning point. If If it can be done, would Aunt Shen want to go to Nanzhou to retire with us?"

Shen Jiayan's first reaction was: You fart!The old lady is still young, why should she be old?
But he quickly came to his senses: "What's going on? Are you going to Nanzhou? Or are you all going to Nanzhou? Why? Are you assigned or divided?"

Only then did Mu Tianze speak slowly.

Three years ago, three of their brothers and sisters entered the palace, and two of them had titles. The youngest, Mu Tianrun, looked at Yuxue's cuteness and would be a proper prince in the future.

Furthermore, although the emperor managed to fool the common people all over the world with his horoscope, he couldn't fool the women in the palace.

Especially the concubines in the harem who were at odds with their biological mother Yu Guifei at the beginning, they were even more displeased with the three brothers and sisters.

It's also fortunate that they listened to Shen Jiayan's reminder, read and chewed through the palace rules and so on along the way, and avoided these small traps.

In addition, Mu Pojun quickly trained the guards prepared for the three brothers and sisters, and sent them to the palace.

With this personal bodyguard, and the people who served them were all selected by the emperor, after entering the palace for a few months, all three of them were safe and sound.

The emperor also gave them a high look because of the performance of the three brothers and sisters.

Before, even though he apologized a little, he gave their birth mother back titles and rewarded them when they came back. The emperor felt that no matter how many faults he had, he made up for it.

I originally wanted to bring them back, give them rewards, and become two idle and rich princes in the future, that's all.

Unexpectedly, these three children made him look differently.

The three of them, brothers and sisters, kept Shen Jiayan's words in mind, father, father, father, first the emperor, then the father, thunder, rain and dew, are all the grace of the king.

Therefore, no matter whether the emperor was indifferent to them after awarding the rewards at the beginning, or he looked up to them later, he would not be surprised.

He has always been cautious and respectful, and has never exceeded the rules.

At first, the emperor thought it was a sign of the birth relationship between the three of them, but in the past three years, the princes have all grown up.

Both the third prince and the fourth prince were crowned kings, and both established their mansions.

Among the older princes, that is, Mu Tianrun, is under 15 years old, so he has not been crowned king yet, but according to the rules, when he reaches 15 years old, he will be crowned king and open the mansion, and then marry him.

After getting married, they can move out of the palace and live in their own palace.

Now in the harem, apart from Mu Tianrun and Mu Yue, there are only the little prince and princess who were born in the past few years.

Mu Tianrun still has five or six years before he can be crowned king, but Mu Yue, after reaching Jiji last year, started looking for candidates for her son-in-law. He had already selected a son of a noble family, and the decree will be officially made this year.

Unexpectedly, in the first half of the year, Qi State, which is on the border, sent envoys to propose marriage, and to marry the princess of this dynasty on behalf of their monarch, wishing friendship from generation to generation.

This Qi country is located in the southwest and is called Nanyi. Although the territory of the country is small, it is extremely difficult to deal with.

The border between Qi State and this dynasty is surrounded by mountains. In the mountains, there are many tribes who are good at poison and poison, and their faces change when they hear about it.

There have been minor frictions between the two countries over the years, but the situation is not serious and is within the controllable range. Compared with Xirong, Qi State is considered to be pretty good.

Therefore, it is also a major event for Qi Guo to ask to marry his own princess.

For a while there were many disputes between the court and the court. Some advocated agreeing to a marriage, and some refused to make a marriage.

If it is a marriage, now there is only Mu Yue, a princess of the right age.

With the women in the harem twisted together and putting pressure on their natal family, coupled with Qi Guo's sincerity in proposing marriage this time, he is willing to take out a city on the border between the two countries as a dowry gift, and he also expressed his willingness to marry the two countries. The business relationship was good, and the merchants of the country were agreed to go to Qi State to purchase a large amount of precious medicinal materials and spices.

Qi State's medicinal materials and spices are famously good, but Qi State has always been unwilling to do business with the outside world. To obtain these precious medicinal materials and spices, it takes a hundred times more energy and money to get them.

Now that Qi Guo let go, the emperor was naturally tempted.

And Qi Guo's only request is to marry a real royal princess, and then ask Qi Guo to give Qi Guo an extra supply of plum blossom snow sugar every year.

Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not indifferent. You only need to marry a princess in the past, and she was the queen of Qi State in the past. The prince who gave birth will also have the blood of this dynasty. Peace is okay.

Now this dynasty is facing tit-for-tat with Xirong, and maybe one day a war will break out.

If Qi Guo didn't agree to his marriage proposal, when the imperial court was fighting with Xi Rong, Qi Guo would take advantage of the chaos and stab the imperial court in the back.

Therefore, the voice of opposition to the marriage in the imperial court became smaller and smaller, and now this meaning is short of the emperor's consent.

But no one asked Mu Yue if she was willing?

Mu Tianze and Mu Tianrun naturally feel sorry for Mu Yue, and they don't want her to marry far away in Qi Country, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, after you have married, and you have been wronged, is it possible that you can still count on the court to stand up for you?

Therefore strongly opposed.

On the contrary, there are those people who didn't feel the pain when the knife was cut on their body, and admonished them righteously, saying that Mu Yue, as a princess, is supported by all people. This is for the sake of the country and the people of the world, and it is the duty of the royal princess, etc. .

Mu Tianze was so angry that he wanted to kill someone with a knife!His sister has only been recognized by the royal family for three years. She has suffered so much before, but now she is asked to come and reward the people for the royal family?
fart!

Whoever wants to be the princess will go!Anyway, his sister is wrong!At worst, continue to go back to the countryside to be a village girl, which is better than marrying to a foreign country!
Mu Yue was still very calm, and only said one thing, if the emperor didn't want her to get married, she would definitely not let the situation become what it is now. Most of the civil and military courts and the harem agreed to get married, and even asked people to persuade herself.

What did Mu Tianze not understand?Just had a little hope.

At this moment, Mu Yue punctured the fig leaf, and the three brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried for a while.

Then I began to think of a way out. Since the marriage cannot be avoided, how can we obtain the greatest benefits and benefits, and at the same time protect the lives of Mu Yue and the queen?

The three brothers and sisters pondered for a long time, but they came up with a solution.

Mu Yue agreed to marry, and in addition to requesting the wedding standard of a princess, she also asked the emperor to give her five hundred soldiers as a dowry to ensure her safety in Qi State.

Also, Mu Tianze asked Nanzhou to be his fief at the same time. After marrying Mu Yue to Qi State and getting married, he will be stationed in Nanzhou and will not return to the capital.

As for Mu Tianrun, he was still young after all, but he was quite liked by the emperor now, so it would be no problem to leave enough manpower for him.

They leaked this meaning to the emperor, and the emperor has not responded yet, but it is estimated that it will be soon.

Mu Tianze and Mu Yue thought that since their brothers and sisters were to stay away from the capital, especially Mu Tianze, if Nanzhou became his fiefdom, it would be thousands of miles away from the capital, and it would not be considered Fengrao, as long as he didn't want to go back to the capital , No one cares about him even after thinking about it.

Then he is the lord of Nanzhou, and he has the final say on his territory.

Instead, they can take Shen Jiayan to Nanzhou to retire. With their protection, Shen Jiayan can do whatever he wants in Nanzhou without worrying too much.

Therefore, Mu Tianze entrusted Prince Cheng to summon Shen Jiayan to the capital.

Just two days ago, the emperor had an in-depth conversation with the three brothers and sisters. The three of them didn't hide anything, and they couldn't hide it. They simply explained their plans clearly.

After the emperor heard this, his expression was very strange, somewhat relaxed, somewhat regretful, and somewhat inexplicably envious or jealous?
Hearing that Shen Jiayan had arrived in the capital, the emperor was interested and wanted to see this woman who had raised his three children.

That's why there is today's Prince Cheng's Mansion and his party.

In the room behind the ginkgo tree, the emperor could clearly hear what Shen Jiayan and Mu Tianze said at this moment.

When Shen Jiayan heard this, he almost jumped up and beat Mu Tianze to death.

It's just too deceitful!Why don't you talk about such an important thing?

Thinking back quickly, I don't seem to have said anything outrageous that shouldn't be said, right?

While heaving a sigh of relief, he looked forward to killing Mu Tianze.

Having said this, the emperor in the wing room naturally couldn't sit still.

Push open the door and walk out.

Shen Jiayan only saw a majestic man in a bright yellow robe coming out of it, before he even had time to look at his face, he quickly lowered his head and knelt on the ground.

The emperor came out, looked at Shen Jiayan who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at Mu Tianze who was exuding a pleasant aura even though he looked calm and breezy.

His eyes darkened, this son, from the time he recognized him to now, except in front of his siblings, and only in front of this woman, is he really relaxed and happy.

What's more, this son actually didn't hide anything from this woman, he told her everything with a face of trust.

This kind of trust, his father did not enjoy it.

I couldn't help but feel sour and bubbling, coughed, and looked at Shen Jiayan again, no matter how I looked at it, I didn't like it.

He snorted coldly: "Look up, let me see—"

Shen Jiayan raised her head silently, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face and eyes, but only stared at the dragon embroidered on the emperor's shoulder.

The emperor looked Shen Jiayan up and down, but he couldn't see anything special about him. He was not too old, and his appearance was just ordinary, but he happened to be lucky and blessed. Remember her upbringing grace.

That's all, but a woman, even if she can do business, even if she can tinker with fresh candies, she can't make waves.

This sugar-making process is now mature, even if Shen Jiayan leaves, it won't hinder anything.

As for Nanzhou, it is remote and sparsely populated. Even if she can do business, what can she do?

What's more, if you can really make something out of it, it won't be cheaper for others, it's still cheaper for his son!

Thinking about it this way, the gloom in the emperor's heart calmed down. A woman who can't bear children and is taken care of by her own son, won't all the money she earns belong to her son in the future?This deal is done!
What's more, the children are all bleeding their own blood, which is an unbroken blood!
Immediately he lost interest, waved his hands, got up and said: "Since the second child is thinking about the relationship between you and the brothers and sisters who raised them back then, I will not embarrass you! When you arrive in Nanzhou, you need to keep yourself safe and don't cause trouble for the second child, otherwise I will never forgive you lightly!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and went straight.

　Happy National day!
