I am cultivating myself in the palace

Emperor Wu Jing had eleven sons in his lifetime, but the current emperor, Mu Xiao, was neither a direct descendant nor an eldest son, but he finally became a great treasure.

As an emperor, the evaluation of Qiankang Emperor Mu Xiao by later generations will always be suspicious and tyrannical, and there are many unofficial histories about his killing brothers and slaughtering brothers. After all, in the third year of Dayin Qiankang, Mu Xiao's ten brothers or Violent death or treason, only four people were demoted and killed, and among them, only Yan Wang Mu Zheng was left who was about the same age as Mu Xiao, and the remaining three were all unworthy younger brothers.

However, when it comes to his relationship with Yan Wang Muzheng, there is such a wonderful evaluation as brother and friend Gong.The same half-brother, others were killed and demoted, but King Mu Zheng of Yan was quite favored. What's even more amazing is that Mu Zheng was also loved by Emperor Wu Jing, and he even said something like "this child is like me", It is suspected of discussing storage.But he can survive Mu Xiao's suspicion, and still live in a colorful way, which is really incomprehensible.

Mu Zheng himself knew very well that the reason why he survived was very simple, that is, to obey.

From childhood to adulthood, Mu Zheng has never disobeyed Mu Xiao once. Although he is arrogant, he is most respectful when facing Yindi Mu Xiao.And Emperor Yin seemed to enjoy the contrast between Mu Zheng's arrogance on the outside and respect on the inside, and he had a different kind of pleasure like trampling on his dignity.Emperor Yin Mu Xiao is indeed suspicious, he will always spy on Mu Zheng from time to time, such as deliberately discussing the government affairs with him but not giving him any real power, or asking him to marry a wild girl from the wrong family, Yue Qingyan.He just wanted to see if this younger brother really surrendered to him, and every time he got an affirmative answer, it would make him happy for a long time, and even make him a little tired.

Therefore, when Mu Zheng refuted him for the first time, what Emperor Yin first felt was not anger but curiosity.He looked at this always respectful younger brother playfully, his eyes glowed like a beast playing prey: "Lao Qi, you mean that my golden words are wrong?"

"Your brother dare not!" Mu Zheng shuddered and quickly fell to his knees. He knew he shouldn't be impulsive, but now he had to stand up.

On the one hand, he couldn't let Yue Qingyan continue to kill him, and on the other hand, it was because of that person—unexpectedly, he would see her here.He thought he could let her go, but he didn't expect that when he saw her, he would feel restless. Seeing her being humiliated, he only felt angry, let alone watching her being punished.

Mu Zheng's eyes were gloomy, he was calm, and for the present plan, he could only bite the bullet and finish the sentence: "The princess's indiscriminate words are really caused by her anger, it's just a woman's wisdom and short-sightedness, the emperor's handling of this is justified It's for the sake of the Tian family's face, and I don't want to hurt the peace of the inner palace because of such a small matter, it is already lenient and well-intentioned." He came up and praised Emperor Yin first, and then he said carefully: "My brother thinks that the princess is out of style. It is indeed true that the nobleman lost his way, and the emperor is wise, so he can’t be wrong. However, this matter has a cause and effect, and Ronggui’s concubine is between cause and effect, such punishment will inevitably make unwise people speculate that the emperor is biased."

In fact, these words are just beautifying Qingyan's words before saying them, but the so-called speaking technique is to put on conditions while wearing a high hat, and what's more, when he said that he said it with Yue Qingyan, the weight and effect would naturally be different of.

"Oh?" Sure enough, Emperor Yin's compliments to him were still very useful, he only raised his eyebrows, "Then in your opinion, what should it be?"

"Your brother thinks..." Mu Zheng paused, behind him, Yue Qingyan clearly felt that he was nervous, his back was tense.

She has never seen Mu Zheng in this state. In her impression, Mu Zheng has always been cold and arrogant. That kind of arrogance will make you feel that he can plan everything. However, facing Emperor Yin, such a Mu Zheng, But so cautious.Qingyan has more or less heard the rumors about the offending princes and princes, but the Emperor Yin she met in her previous life was always smiling. This is the first time she has noticed the horror of the emperor.

Mu Zheng...why did he defend her?

"My brother thinks that the princess is straightforward and naive, and this move is intended to rectify the palace rules. Besides, when encountering injustice, helping each other with righteousness is a good story, whether it is folk or historical stories. As for the nobleman, I remember that the ancestor Empress Xiaoren once wrote "Gong Xun" , except for those who have been convicted and sentenced to strict punishment, nobles and above do not need to be slapped. The noble concubine may be busy with palace affairs, and occasional misremembering is inevitable." He did not say how the three should be punished, but for the three They all found excuses.

Emperor Yin looked at Mu Zheng with no emotion on his face. He didn't know what he was estimating. After a while, he said quietly, "Queen, what do you think?"

Behind him, Empress Ji stood dignifiedly and respectfully with folded arms, and replied after hearing the voice: "There are indeed such words in the "Gong Xun", King Yan is really knowledgeable."

"Hmph, what kind of erudition is this?" The emperor suddenly smiled, and the emperor restrained his coercion: "Just memorize these useless things, and don't learn any serious things!"

He teased: "But seeing you protecting your daughter-in-law so much, I feel very relieved." As he spoke, he helped Mu Zheng up and said casually: "Before I heard that the two of you were having an unpleasant fight, I was still very worried. , I'm afraid you don't like the princess I chose for you, now it seems that I'm worrying too much."

The speaker seems to have no intention, but the listener is chilled.Mu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that with Emperor Yin's character, he must have installed eyeliner in his mansion. Then his so-called unhappiness did not refer to the matter he designed for the Queen Mother to punish Yue Qingyan just now, but to say that If he intended to divorce his wife last night, it was a warning to him.Mu Zheng's eyes were heavy, and he knew that the words were full of dangers. On the surface, Emperor Yin was talking about Yue Qingyan, but secretly he was testing his attitude towards the emperor's life. Too much happiness or distaste would arouse suspicion, so he made a strong support Smiling appearance: "Brother Huang made fun of my younger brother again. The princess is lively and straightforward, and my younger brother is very happy."

Qing Yan pouted behind him, I believe you are a ghost.

Mu Zheng's delighted words made him grit his teeth, but it seemed very true - no one would like such a young man, but since it was bestowed by the emperor, he would like it if he didn't like it.What Emperor Yin wanted was this unwilling but helpless truth, he patted Mu Zheng on the shoulder, laughed loudly, and the terrifying feeling of being overwhelmed was swept away.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed along with embarrassment.

"Since you are happy, then work harder and fill me with some nephews as soon as possible!" Emperor Yin waved his hand and jokingly said, "Forget it, I won't punish her, but you have to take good care of her, if you are so righteous Going down, I'm afraid I have to go to the house to expose the tiles."

Then Mu Zheng remembered the tragic situation last night and this morning, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth - she has already gone to the house to reveal the tiles!

But what he cares about is not Yue Qingyan--

"Brother Xie Huang is magnanimous, then this master..."

"Master..." Emperor Yin seemed to have just remembered that there was such a person, glanced at Shi Yunyue's blood-stained cheeks, and said casually: "It's okay, I'll go to the imperial hospital for diagnosis and treatment."

Seeing this, Concubine Rong Gui on the ground hurriedly said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, what about the concubine?"

"You should still be punished!" Emperor Yin pretended to throw his sleeves to break away from Concubine Rong's grasp, "just to change your temper, copy the "Gong Xun" ten times for me, see if you still remember live!"

Yue Qingyan almost rolled his eyes--why do these people like to punish people for copying books? If they like copying books so much, they can just print thousands of copies!

After Emperor Yin finished speaking, he stopped talking to the weeping Concubine Rong, and said to Mu Zheng: "It's getting late, I won't keep you couple any longer, kneel down."

A group of people knelt down, and the holy car returned to Luan, but the queen did not leave.She looked lovingly at Qingyan, who had messy hair, and said with a smile: "It's too disrespectful to let Princess Yan go back like this. King Yan, wait a moment, and leave after the princess tidies up." Saying that, she looked again Shi Yunyue's master and servant, who was about to leave silently, said, "Master, please come here too." When passing by Concubine Rong, she didn't forget to beat the dog in the water: "It's just a bowl of bird's nest, if you beat it, you will beat it, why should sister Rong be like this? Making a fuss out of a molehill has offended the Emperor. If you like it, I will order someone to give you more."

Concubine Rong's silver teeth were about to be crushed, but she was still unwilling to lose her momentum: "What the Empress taught me is that concubines are also impatient. However, this bird's nest is the best blood swallow that the emperor specially rewarded to the fourth prince. The imperial dining room boils it for twelve hours to get one cup, it is very precious, it is not comparable to ordinary products, the empress's bird's nest, you should keep it for yourself!"

At this time, she still has to fight for breath, the queen smiled and said meaningfully: "Since that's the case, I won't make a fool of myself, but this bird's nest is useless if you drink it once or twice, it can last for a long time That's good."

As soon as Rong Guifei heard it, she knew that the queen was using words to stab her, implying that she could only be favored by Emperor Yin for a while, so she retorted: "Your Majesty is very right, concubines are not used to good fortune, but the fourth prince likes it. They are clamoring for food, but it’s not enough to eat, and they can’t control it. When the empress has a son-in-law, she will know the hard work of the concubine.” That’s right, she has a son by her side, and no woman in the harem can be a concubine. Not bad, Emperor Yin will get tired of her one day, but as long as the fourth prince is here, her position will remain unchanged!And the queen, hum, a phoenix that can't lay eggs is not as good as a chicken!

Concubine Rong Gui intentionally poked the empress in pain, the maid beside her had already changed her expression, but the empress's phoenix eyes slightly closed, her expression did not change, but she nodded: "That's very good, then order the imperial dining room to be prepared every day, don't be negligent. "

The maid who was close to her body nodded in agreement, lamenting that the empress is indeed the mother of the world, she doesn't care that Concubine Rong is so unreasonable, and she is so kind to the fourth prince.

Next to her, the queen ignored Concubine Rong and led her away, but when she passed the broken bird's nest soup on the ground, she obviously paused, and Qingyan sighed softly when she heard her.

What a pity... what?Bird's nest?

In the side hall, Yue Qingyan changed out of the dirty court clothes and put on the gorgeous palace clothes prepared by the empress temporarily. There was a lady in the palace to help her clean up, and the female doctor was coming to treat the wound on her neck. It doesn't matter, Qingyan casually asked about Shi Yunyue's condition, the doctor shook his head and said that the bamboo palm is very powerful, it looks fine on the outside, but it hurts inside, if it is not healed properly, the whole face may be damaged rot.He also said that Master Shi is really strong, and he didn't say a word when he dealt with it. If it was someone else, he would have been crying and crying.Qingyan thought that when Shi Yunyue was beaten by Xin Lan, she was also silent, neither humble nor overbearing.

He is a ruthless person.She nodded, she likes people with character, and she has a better impression of Shi Yunyue in her heart.

The palace is warm and pleasant, and the noble atmosphere of the royal family is magnificent even in a small side hall. However, Qingyan's whole mind is not on this. There are too many things she can't figure out today. Mu Zheng's attitude It's a pity for the queen, and the emperor's playfulness. After thinking about it for a while, the arrogant and domineering concubine Rong is the easiest.

She was not good at monopoly, and in her previous life, she fought with those Yingyingyanyans in the palace, and only after suffering a lot of losses, she managed to cultivate some tricks. The conspiracy in this palace is obviously even higher.Forget it, don't want to!As long as she lives her own life well, the palace or something, the big deal is the same as in her previous life, she can hide as long as she can.Qing Yan, who had made up her mind like this, planned to thank the queen and go to find Mu Zheng when she left the palace and returned home after washing up. Familiar people - Mu Zheng and Shi Yunyue.
