When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

When the chamberlain took Tie 떚눕 palace, Yan Li had not returned to Jiang's house. She and Mu Cang returned to Jiuwangfu after shopping. At this time, she was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window and listened to the latest news from the men of Jiuwangfu.

"Miss Gu had her body tested by the palace aunt and was confirmed to be a perfect jade. However, because a man and a woman live alone in the same room, King Jing made it clear that he would not marry her, so the emperor gave her in marriage to Mu Wenxuan."

When Yan Li heard that Gu Anxian had finished the jade, his face was calm as usual, and he was obviously not surprised by the result at all.

After all, Mu Wenxuan really can't say anything at the moment.

But for Gu Anxian, the process of the palace examination was a humiliation worse than death.

I wonder when she was facing all this, did she ever think that what she had done would destroy another woman?

"Mu Wenxuan was punished with ten sticks. After the beating, he was sent back to Prince Yu's Mansion by the palace guards. Princess Yu cried and scolded the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. Prince Yu went to the palace to plead guilty after learning about this."

Yan Li was slightly surprised: "Is the matter over so easily?"

"Miss Gu didn't receive any punishment." A subordinate of the Nine Princes' Mansion replied, "Prime Minister Gu went to plead guilty, but the emperor scolded him severely, scolding him for being incompetent in educating his daughter and insulting the family tradition. Later, Prince Yu went to Well, the emperor scolded them again."

Mu Cang waved his hand away and sat down next to Yanli: "Gu Xiang is the head of the officials, and the emperor will give him some face no matter what."

Rating and cursing, but only the thunder is loud and the rain is small, it will not really make him, the prime minister, unable to step down.

"I'm sure." Yan Li smiled faintly, "But the emperor is as deep as the sea, and the marriage grant that goes along with the current has directly ruined the hopes of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today's incident has become the laughing stock of the imperial city. The Gu family's legitimate daughter would rather marry Because Mu Wenxuan didn't want to marry King Jing - whether he was being plotted against or plotted against him, to the emperor, it was a slap in the face. "

As the most powerful emperor, can he endure it?

He personally issued the imperial edict granting marriage to King Jing, but as soon as the edict was issued, Gu Anxian did something like this, which was equivalent to indirectly forcing the emperor to withdraw the edict and change it day by day.

No matter how tolerant and generous the emperor is, it is impossible for him to have no idea at all.

Mu Cang closed his eyes and drank the tea.

"But what will happen to the Gu family in the future is not important to me." Yan Li put down the tea cup with an indifference that had nothing to do with her, "If the Gu family is unlucky, the happiest person will be the queen and the queen. , but I love to hold grudges, and I don’t want to make them too happy.”

A smile flashed across Mu Cang's eyes, and he nodded slowly: "You're right."

Yan Li turned her head and glanced at him, and was about to say something when she heard a hurried report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Prince Jing would like to see you."

Yan Li was slightly surprised: "What is he here for?"

As a victim of cuckolding, shouldn't King Jing stay in the palace and drink alcohol at this time? Even if it was just a superficial act, he shouldn't be so arrogant about asking to see the Ninth Prince.

"Let him in."

"놆."

After a while, a handsome man in a brocade robe and a jade crown walked in steadily, and first greeted Mu Cang: "Xiu Jing has met Uncle Jiu."

"No need to be polite."

Prince Jing's peach blossom eyes raised slightly, then fell onto Yan Li's face naturally: "Princess Nanyang?"

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

King Jing looked at her deeply, his eyes meaningful: "To be honest, I actually came here specifically for Princess Nanyang."

King Jing raised his hand, and the servant behind him stepped forward and handed over a gift, "Thank you so much to Princess Nanyang for resolving this difficult matter for me. When the princess marries the emperor's uncle, she will become my aunt. The king will definitely give you a big gift."

Yan Li was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I don't understand what His Highness Prince Jing is talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, I am very grateful to Princess Nanyang." King Jing gracefully saluted, then turned to look at Mu Cang, "Uncle Huang has a sharp eye for pearls, and Xiu Jing admires her very much."

The corner of Yan Li's mouth twitched. His Highness King Jing seemed different from Tai Da.

"Princess Nanyang has a sharp eye and knows pearls." Mu Cang held the tea cup and said in a steady voice, "I am fortunate to be chosen by her."

King Jing smiled calmly: "No matter who chooses whom, it is undeniable that Uncle Nine Emperors and Princess Nanyang will have a happy marriage. My nephew would like to offer my most sincere blessings."

Yan Li nodded: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." King Jing nodded, "Goodbye."

Mu Xiujing left quickly, taking less than half a cup of tea before and after.

Yan Li and Mu Cang looked at each other. For a moment, Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "This King Jing is more interesting than Tai Da and the Four Emperors."

"King Jing was born to Concubine Wei Shu. The Wei family is the largest merchant family in Mu." Mu Cang said calmly, "The tax revenue paid to the national treasury by the Wei family every year accounts for almost half of the national treasury tax revenue, so the emperor always indulges Concubine Wei Shu's mother. Some."

Yan Li hummed: "Is he fighting for the throne?"

"Everyone thinks he is a prince, especially Prime Minister Gu." Mu Cang said, "But based on my judgment, he should not be interested in the throne."

"You don't have any weaknesses if you have nothing to ask for." Yan Li smiled lightly, "That's why King Jing looks much more pleasing to the eye than Tai Da."

Mu Cang frowned slightly: "Is it pleasing to the eye?"

"Yeah." Yan Li nodded calmly, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Not much.

Mu Cang was speechless.

"Your Majesty, are you jealous?" Yan Li's expression was a little subtle, "It doesn't have to be like this. Your Majesty is the god of war with the power of three hundred thousand soldiers and horses. He must be majestic and dignified. He cannot be jealous like everyone else with his little daughter, which will harm him. The majesty of the prince.”

Mu Cang calmly said: "The God of War can't have feelings?"

"It's not 놆——"

"Can't the God of War be jealous?"

Yan Li was silent: return those four words: "It's not 놆."

Mu Cang said: "If you like someone, you will want them to look at you. Isn't this normal?"

Yan Li thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

"I used to think that the prince was indifferent and taciturn, but I didn't expect him to be so eloquent."

Mu Cang chuckled: "Only in front of you."

Yan Li coughed slightly and changed the subject uneasily: "Let me see what King Jing gave me."

Opening the brocade box given by King Jing, I was shocked to see a jade plaque lying on the velvet cloth with the word "Wei" written on it and four small characters next to it: Wei 꿻 ticket number.

"This gift is quite real." Yan Li picked up the jade plaque and looked at it for a while, "King Jing is indeed a real gift."

Mu Cang's eyes darkened slightly, and he was a little displeased with King Jing's gesture of goodwill.

"But I probably won't need it." Yan Li put the jade plaque back into the brocade box and put it on the table aside. "Let's keep this with the prince for the time being. Anyway, from now on we will be one family, regardless of you and me."

One family, no distinction between you and me.

These words seeped into her heart like a magical elixir. Knowing that she just said it casually, or that there was no hidden meaning, Mu Cang couldn't help but feel better, and her eyebrows became much softer: "Yes."

There is really no need to differentiate between you and me.

"It took a long time to come here today, I should go back." Yan Li stood up and warned, "Your Majesty, take a good rest."

Mu Cang was a little reluctant to leave, but he didn't stop her from leaving. He got up and saw her off in person: "A lot of things have happened recently. To prevent a dog from jumping over the wall, you must pay attention to protecting yourself."

Yan Li understood what he meant, "Your Majesty, let me know."

After leaving the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he took a carriage back to Jiang's house. As soon as Yan Li got off the car, he saw a servant waiting outside the gate for an unknown length of time.

Seeing Yan Li coming back, the chamberlain hurriedly came up to greet him, bowed and saluted: "Princess Nanyang, the noble concubine, please come into the palace and have a talk."
