The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 230 Seeing the driver, suspicion suddenly arises

In autumn on the [-]th, the daily activities are very full.The next day it was just dawn, and the horns sounded throughout the entire palace, and everyone was ready to go, waiting in front of the altar under the palace.Emperor Wu came with Concubine Xiao Gui, took the incense candle from Taichang, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and put the incense candle in the sacrificial tripod.After that, it was presided over by Taichang, and Emperor Wu led all the civil and military officials to kneel down to worship and sacrifice. After the whole process was completed, it took more than half a day.

Nangong Jin is a military general with a noble status, standing at the top of the military general; Mu Yunge belongs to the family members of the courtiers, and can only be ranked in the camp of female family members. Looking at each other from a distance, Nangong Jin blinked at her, and looked at the person on the right side of the sacrificial altar. Rows of bows and arrows pouted.

Mu Yunge gestured knowingly, and she smiled and turned her head away.

Seeing the little gestures of the two of them, Wei Shi immediately curled his lips in jealousy.

Ever since Mu Yunge met Nangong Jin, he has released him several times in a row. Last night he agreed to go find someone, but when he arrived outside Nangong Jin's palace, he was stopped, which made him feel very uncomfortable. sharp.

At this time, Emperor Wu had already walked to the viewing platform with Concubine Xiao on his arm, and a cloth had been put up on the viewing platform.

The afternoon was not easy either. Emperor Wu had to test the results of the army's drills over the past year in a paddock, accompanied by all the civil and military officials, who had to watch under the scorching sun.

The army to be inspected this year is the Northwest Army led by Nan Gongjin. The Northwest Army is stationed in the Northwest. There are not many people entering Beijing this time. The 200-member team performed marching steps, practiced several formations, and conducted a battle. The siege drills, and finally the drills of riding against each other.

As the general of the army, Nangong Jin is wearing armor and commanding with a command flag in his hand. He is so heroic and dazzling.

Mu Yunge looked at her vigorous and heroic figure from a distance, and it was inevitable that he felt admiration in his heart. If he hadn't been burdened by rumors, Nangong Jin would be a female general respected by everyone!
She locked Nangong Jin's beautiful and resolute face, with a moment of hesitation in her heart.She once went to investigate the truth of the year, and the result was beyond her expectation. Once it was revealed, some people would be lost forever, but Nangong Jin would also be implicated, and the old scars would be torn open again, which would definitely be dripping with blood. Difficult to heal.I don't know if Nangong Jin will hate her on that day, and will still treat her like today...

After inspecting the army, it was already sunset. Emperor Wu was very happy to watch the drill. He was full of praise for Nangong Jin's diligence and rewarded him with many things.

Nangong Jin thanked her without arrogance or impatience, and stood back to her position.

Emperor Wu was in a good mood, and he spoke more kindly than usual. He no longer put on airs on this occasion, and took the attitude of an elder. He said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the autumn hunt, you all have to prepare carefully. Last year won Our team should keep working hard and continue to be number one. Don’t be discouraged if you lost last year. You must work harder and try to beat your opponent to win the first prize. I remember that Wang Jian’s team won the first place last year. That precious bow It’s still a tribute from the southwestern affiliated country! Well, this year’s reward should not be too light. According to my will, the team that wins the first place this year will be rewarded with a thousand taels for everyone, and the team leader will be promoted to a higher level. Bring that bloody horse to the paddock as an extra reward!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire paddock erupted.

Not to mention the reward of one thousand taels, the promotion to the next level is the biggest temptation for these young talents.Many of them are talented in governing the country, but they are limited by their qualifications and can only work hard in one position.It is undoubtedly an opportunity for many people if they can advance to the next level.

As for the bloody horse, it is just an accessory of all the graces.

After Emperor Wu finished speaking, he yawned sleepily, and the personal eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the inner hall to rest first?"

"No hurry." Emperor Wu waved his hand with a smile, turned his head and ordered: "Let the children disperse and form a team by themselves, and report the list to me later."

Concubine Xiao Gui persuaded from the side: "Your Majesty is tired, let's go and rest first, it's the same for Wang Jian to report the list later."

Emperor Wu just insisted on waiting, and Concubine Xiao Gui persuaded him a few more words, and Emperor Wu's face turned cold.Seeing this, Concubine Xiao Gui's soft body was a little stiff, and she didn't know where it angered him.However, Emperor Wu's temper has always been like this, turning his face is faster than turning a book, she has been with the emperor for many years, she has already understood this truth, she immediately stepped aside obediently, took care of Emperor Wu, and stopped talking.

Soon, the children of the aristocratic family and the young talents formed their own teams according to the requirements, in groups of five, and reported the list to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian immediately submitted the list, and Emperor Wu looked over the list with his hands in his hand. Seeing the names on the first line, he couldn't help raising his brows, and said with a smile: "In the past, Jin'er was alone, so she was inevitably lonely. Unexpectedly, this year she has an extra one." with."

"Yes." Wang Jian replied: "It is said that Miss Mu has been practicing riding and shooting at home earlier in order to prepare for this autumn."

"I remember that Mu Yunge is the daughter of the Marquis of Changyi. The Marquis of Changyi looks elegant and indifferent. I didn't expect his daughter to like to dance with knives and guns. This is a bit interesting. The last time Concubine Degui met her, she was quite admirable." Ci. Wang Qing, go and bring Mu Yunge over here for me to take a look at." Emperor Wu closed the booklet and smiled interestedly.

Concubine Xiao Gui, who had been giving Emperor Wu massage all the time, heard this sentence, the movements of her hands froze for a moment, she hurriedly lowered her eyes to cover up her gaffe.

Neither Wang Jian nor Emperor Wu noticed her, Wang Jian received the order, walked quickly to the stage, and looked around for Mu Yunge.

At this time, Mu Yunge and Nangong Jin were looking for a suitable horse in the racecourse, but her horse had not been brought, so they had to trouble Nangong Jin.The two chose a black horse, and Nangong Jin took the reins and asked Mu Yunge to try to run two laps.Mu Yunge tried the horse according to his words, and he liked it very much, so the two handed the horse over to the guards, and walked hand in hand by the lake at the foot of Anshan.

Before finishing the lap, Wang Jian galloped over, clasped his fists to Nangong Jin, and then turned to Mu Yunge: "Miss Mu, the emperor is here to welcome you."

"How could the emperor think of meeting Yun Ge? Is it because of yesterday's incident?" Nangong Jin was very puzzled.

Wang Jian shook his head and laughed: "General Nangong is paranoid. The emperor read the list that the general submitted and heard that she is the daughter of the Marquis of Changyi, so he just wanted to meet on a whim."

"Then you go and come back quickly." Nangong Jin was relieved and pushed Mu Yunge.

Emperor Wu was changeable, and she was afraid that Yun Ge's delay would arouse unreasonable disgust from Emperor Wu.

Mu Yunge followed Wang Jian to the viewing platform, and the aristocratic families in the audience focused their eyes on her. Some had seen her, and some had not. They were all curious when they saw her graceful demeanor and beautiful face. explore each other.

Wang Jian secretly observed her expression, seeing that although she was young, she was calm, it was a great honor for Emperor Wu to summon her, and she did not have a trace of arrogance, so he could not help but secretly nodded.Thinking of what happened last night, he thought that Chang Kaiyi was absurd, but now he felt that it was somewhat excusable - such a girl is indeed worthy of Chang Kaiyi's moths to the fire!

At the same time, Emperor Wu also saw Mu Yunge. Although he was far away and his face could not be seen clearly, she was slim and well mannered, not the rough girl he thought.

As Mu Yunge approached slowly, that gorgeous face became more and more clear: eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, lips like a little crimson, with a slight smile on the corners of her slightly pursed mouth, it is not at all obvious that she was born as a merchant girl... …

Emperor Wu stared blankly at this face, unconsciously, the teacup in his hand was slowly tilted, and the warm tea poured out, soaking half of his sleeves.He still didn't realize it, and when Mu Yunge walked two feet in front of him and knelt down to say hello, the clear and clear voice hit his ears, and he felt thunderbolt, and the teacup fell to the ground with a slam.

Mu Yunge had seen Emperor Wu's gaffe for a long time, and was puzzled in her heart, but she couldn't make a sound. She lowered her eyelids and pretended not to see it, waiting for Emperor Wu to let her get up.

The teacup shattered into pieces and landed at Emperor Wu's feet. Qi Chun, the personal eunuch, bent over to pick it up. He waved his hand to stop Qi Chun, and instead of telling Mu Yunge to get up, he asked, "You... how old are you this year?" ?”

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my daughter is fourteen this year." Mu Yunge lowered his voice and answered truthfully.

She was not sure what Emperor Wu meant, so she could only think carefully, just in case.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu's eyes became even more distracted, and he held the handle on the dragon chair and muttered to himself: "Fourteen... Fourteen, counting it, it has been more than twenty years..."

Concubine Xiao Gui subconsciously clenched her lips when she heard these words, not daring to say anything.Qi Chun also turned pale, too frightened to answer.

Emperor Wu was stunned for a while, and then slowly came back to his senses. Seeing that Mu Yunge was still kneeling, he said, "Get up."

Mu Yunge thanked him, stood up, stared closely at Mu Yunge's face for a moment, and said one more sentence: "Like, it really looks like..." While sighing, Emperor Wu seemed to be more than ten years old , the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and forehead were a little deeper, and after a while, he coughed lightly, with a kind smile on his face: "Yun Ge... Is your name Yun Ge? A team with Jin'er? Have you chosen a flattering bow and arrow?"

"My daughter thanked Your Majesty for your care." Mu Yunge blessed Fushen: "Just now the princess has brought my daughter to the racecourse, and everything is ready."

Emperor Wu nodded and asked again: "You have been in the capital for more than a month, but are you still used to it?"

"My daughter is fine." Mu Yunge replied.

Emperor Wu seemed very satisfied, and looked at Qi Chun behind him: "He is a good boy who understands etiquette, and he can go with the situation. Okay, okay, the Marquis of Changyi is good, pass on my will, and reward ten pieces of jade and brocade from the Mu family. Ten horses, you supervise it yourself." After Qi Chun received the order, he turned his head to look at Mu Yunge again, and said with a smile: "We will hunt tomorrow, and we must work hard to win the first prize, and then I will give you another big reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" At this moment, Mu Yunge dared to raise his head and quietly glanced at Emperor Wu. When he saw him looking at him with a smile, he immediately lowered his eyes.

Of course, this small move did not escape the eyes of Emperor Wu, but he seemed not to care, and waved his hand: "Wang Jian, send Miss Mu back."

After coming down from the viewing platform, Mu Yunge has been in a state of anxiety. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, which would make the aloof Emperor Wu look at him with admiration and even lose his composure...

Instead, when Wei Shi heard about it, he was so anxious that he took advantage of no one's attention, grabbed her by the arm, dragged her to his east hall, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's going on, why are you alone?" People dare to go to see my father?"
