Close to this continuous peony flower bed, there is a Yongbo Pavilion. From the pavilion, you can see the entire flower garden across the pond. There are only two paths to reach it from all sides, making it a perfect place for conversation.
Mu Yuchu screened away the people following him. Seeing this, Yuan Miaoyi asked Bai Zhi and Dong Xia to wait outside the pavilion.
The cool breeze blowing from the pavilion ruffled their hair.
Mu Yuchu didn't get straight to the point when she came up. She just asked Yuan Miaoyi how the banquet was today and how the scenery in the garden was, as if she really wanted to find someone to chat with when she came out for some fresh air.
Yuan Miaoyi lowered her head and answered one by one. Her words were rigorous and respectful, and no one could find any clues in her words.
While talking to her, Mu Yuchu looked at her expression, hoping to see something from her face, because she still didn't know whether Yuan Miaoyi knew what Yan Xuanche meant.
But to her disappointment, Yuan Miaoyi was more calm than she thought. It seemed that as long as Mu Yuchu didn't speak, Yuan Miaoyi wouldn't ask why she wanted to talk to her today.
The two exchanged words for several rounds. Mu Yuchu was shocked to realize that Yuan Miaoyi's speech and behavior were impeccable. It was too difficult to find loopholes in her words.
Mu Yuchu often came and went from the palace after marrying Yan Xuanche. She strived to be thoughtful in everything she said and did. This was a skill she developed after interacting with the nobles in the palace. She felt that she was much more stable than before she was married.
It is not difficult for her to guess the thoughts of many young ladies in the capital.
But today, facing Yuan Miaoyi, who was a few years younger than her and still in her boudoir, she felt like she had no idea what to do.
Has the fight in Rong'anhou's mansion reached this point? I haven't heard of it either, and Mu Yuchu felt a little puzzled.
What she originally heard was that Prince Rong'an protected his sister very well, and with the support of the Pei family, logically speaking, life in the residence of Prince Rong'an should not be difficult.
But Yuan Miaoyi's behavior style is really not like that of a woman raised in a boudoir.
However, Yuan Miaoyi can do Tai Chi with her here, but Mu Yuchu is the host of today's banquet after all, and cannot leave the banquet for too long.
Besides, she and Yuan Miaoyi have been sitting here for too long. If someone sees them, they may be taken out by someone with intentions to make a fuss.
Although Mu Yuchu was very insensitive on political matters, she was not a fool after all.
Recently, the atmosphere in the palace has been very tense because of the affairs of the Tata'er Department. Yan Xuanche did not mention the concubine at this juncture. She could not cause trouble at this time, and it would also make the palace treat her badly. impression.
So seeing that he couldn't elicit words from Yuan Miaoyi, who was immovable, Mu Yuchu took the initiative to speak first.
"Ms. Yuan Er, I hit it off with you right away, so I will tell you some things directly."
Yuan Miaoyi was very patient. She and Mu Yuchu had been sitting here chatting for so long. Now seeing that Mu Yuchu seemed to finally reveal his true purpose, Yuan Miaoyi was not in a hurry.
She just picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "Princess, please speak."
Mu Yuchu took a deep breath. In fact, some words had been lingering in her heart for several days. And the jealousy that arose because of this incident was like poison, corroding her heart every day, and Mu Yuchu felt extremely tormented by this.
So she urgently needed a chance to say these words. Maybe after speaking out, the pain in her heart can be healed.
"A few months ago." Mu Yuchu paused before continuing: "The prince once mentioned to Lord Pei that he wanted to hire you as a concubine."
Mu Yuchu finished this sentence as calmly as possible. In her expectation, either Yuan Miaoyi didn't know about this and would be a little shocked after hearing her words.
Either Yuan Miaoyi knew about this, but when she said it so bluntly, she must have been a bit shy like a young lady in a boudoir, right?
So after Mu Yuchu finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at Yuan Miaoyi's expression. But once again, to her surprise, Yuan Miaoyi's expression was as calm as the still water outside the pavilion, without making any waves.
Yuan Miaoyi even raised her head and smiled at her before saying, "My uncle told me about this and I refused, so the princess can rest assured."
From Mu Yuchu's point of view, even if the Pei family pampered their niece who lost her mother at a young age, they would probably do it like other families in the capital. Don't be stingy with gold and silver, just support her in Rong'anhou's mansion.
She never expected that Pei Zhao would tell Yuan Miaoyi directly about such a thing, and even listen to her opinion.
When Yuan Miaoyi mentioned the word rejection, she was extremely calm, as if the matter didn't require much thought. But even though Yan Xuanche had another woman in his heart, in Mu Yuchu's opinion, Yan Xuanche was of noble birth, handsome in appearance, and not lacking in skills.
Compared with the King of Han who loved to spend time and wine, his inner house was clean and he was very calm. Emperor Jingyuan often entrusted him with important tasks in government affairs.
The position of the concubine of King Chu was closely watched by many people in Beijing. In addition to Yan Xuanche being a good match, there are also many people who covet the wealth and wealth of the heavenly family behind him, and some people have unexplainable thoughts.
Although the East Palace already has a master, Emperor Jingyuan is still young and powerful, and there is still time for the prince to succeed to the throne. In such a long period of time, it is still unclear who will win.
And compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has a gentle personality, Emperor Jingyuan has personally said that among the princes, Yan Xuanche is the most like him.
With such power and a good match, did Yuan Miaoyi really not feel the slightest emotion in her heart?
With such doubts in mind, Mu Yuchu couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Yuan Miaoyi gathered her concubine, which was slightly scattered by the wind, and said with a smile: "Princess Princess, a woman from the Yuan family will never be a concubine."
Mu Yuchu had some guesses about the answer, so she endured her feelings and smiled back: "If Mrs. Yuan Er is only worried about this, I can promise you that in the future, you and I will be equals in the house, and there will be no right or wrong." divided."
Although Mu Yuchu was heartbroken that her husband had someone else in his heart, she also knew that Yan Xuanche liked the woman in front of her, and besides, her husband also needed Yuan Miaoyi's family background.
She was Yan Xuanche's wife, so of course she had to put his feelings and interests above her own, even though Mu Yuchu's heart was bleeding when she said these words.
Yuan Miaoyi did not expect Mu Yuchu to be so tolerant, or to be able to do this for Yan Xuanche.
Everyone in the capital knows that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu are in love. It seems that this statement is not entirely false. At least Mu Yuchu is really a gentle and kind woman, and she really loves the one beside her pillow. human.
But what Mu Yuchu said made Yuan Miaoyi still laugh a little. Mu Yuchu was kind-hearted, but Yuan Miaoyi did not doubt her sincerity in what she said. If an ordinary young lady in the boudoir hears these words, her heart will be shaken for a moment.
After all, this is the equal treatment promised by the princess herself, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a noble person from Tianhuang.
But even without the incident between herself and Xiao Yunyue, Yuan Miaoyi's heart would not have been disturbed by these words.
The difference in status makes all the difference. Mu Yuchu could make such a promise, but outside the Chu Palace and on the royal jade certificate, she was always a concubine.
Verbal promises are never as good as something that can be held in your hands.
So she just looked at Empress Mu Yuchu calmly and asked: "Princess, do you mean what you said today, or does His Highness the King of Chu mean it?"
Mu Yuchu paused and said, "It's my own intention, but Your Highness, I think it may be pleasing to you."
When Mu Yuhu said this, Yuan Miaoyi's eyebrows raised slightly, but her expression quickly returned to calm.
Yuan Miaoyi stood up and saluted: "I have been sitting here for a long time, and I am afraid that my sister-in-law is eager to find me. Princess, please forgive me and leave first."
Mu Yuchu didn't expect why Yuan Miaoyi suddenly wanted to leave when she mentioned this matter. She stood up, suddenly feeling a little at a loss.
After Yuan Miaoyi turned around, her back was turned to her and she said: "Empress, maybe what you said is true. Your Highness, King Chu, has me in his heart. But this sincerity is only worthy of being valued in the eyes of my wife."
The implication is that as an outsider, she will not be moved by this sincerity.
After saying that, Yuan Miaoyi left with the maid beside him. After walking out of Yongbo Pavilion, Yuan Miaoyi took a deep breath and suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore.
She asked Bai Zhi to talk to Yu Fengshu and left first.
As soon as she returned to the Hou's Mansion, Aunt Cui, who had stayed in the Hou's Mansion and got the news of her early return, came up to her with a somewhat anxious expression. Yuan Miaoyi frowned and was about to ask what happened when she heard Grandma Cui speak directly.
"Girl, the news just came that the Tata'er tribe raided Shuofang City in Jizhou and officially declared war on Dayan. The palace was furious, and a formal order to mobilize troops was issued."
