Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 254 Preparations before the ceremony, Mu Wanqing’s anxiety

After listening to Mu Wanqing's words and looking at her affectionate eyes, Zhao Mu couldn't even believe that the woman in front of him was the jealous Mu Wanqing. He really didn't know what Mu Wanqing had gone through to make her change like she did now. Or is he the one who really cares about her? maybe.

Zhao Mu also stepped forward, grabbed Mu Wanqing's hand, and then said: "Wan'er, what about us?"

But Mu Wanqing smiled and knocked down Zhao Mu's hand. She smiled and said: "Let's wait until after we get married! Okay! I'm tired after running around with Sister Huyan for a day today. I'll go check it out. Have you tidied up your room? I’m so exhausted!”

After saying that, Mu Wanqing opened the door and walked out. After exiting the door, she trotted away. She then hid behind the wall, breathing heavily and soothing her restless heart.

Facing Mu Wanqing's arrival, there was no big disturbance in the mansion.

Zhao Ji went back to Dongping County Prince's Mansion to see Concubine Chai today.

Tomorrow will be the ceremony for Zhao Mu to be crowned king and worship the ancestral temple.

Because of her low status, Zhao Ji is not qualified to be the prince's mother even though she is Zhao Mu's biological mother. Even Zhe Zong can't do anything about this.

After all, if a woman who was a prostitute was written on the family tree of the Song Dynasty, it would not only lose the ancestors and Zhao Mu, but also the people of all the clans of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Zhao Ji must not be included in the family tree.

As for Zhao Mu's mother, the one who will attend the ceremony tomorrow can only be the mother in name only, Concubine Chai.

Concubine Chai is the princess of the old King Dongping and the princess of Prince Chai's Mansion. She was the daughter-in-law of the Song Dynasty royal family and a descendant of the previous emperor. Her noble status couldn't be more suitable, so Zhao Ji went to Concubine Chai to discuss the matter.

Concubine Chai was also very happy about Zhao Mu being crowned king.

Although Zhao Mu is not her biological son, this is still a matter of honor. She also got the news a few days ago. For this big happy event, she even found the princess dress she had stored in the bottom of her box. Just waiting for this matter to come to a successful conclusion tomorrow.

And what Zhao Ji wants to talk about is not only the matter of Zhao Mu's canonization, but also the matter of making peace with Dali in the future. For the sake of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji also planned to ask Concubine Chai to attend and host the event in the name of Zhao Mu's mother.

Although Mrs. Chai has always disliked Zhao Ji, she admires her for her awareness of the overall situation and taking into account the overall situation. So I agreed to this matter. After the King Ceremony, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Mu's mother was no longer Zhao Ji, but Mrs. Chai.

Although it was a bit cruel for a mother to let her son go, Zhao Ji disagreed because this was the best choice for her son.

Although Zhao Mu was very successful, having a lowly birth mother was the biggest stain in his life. In order that her son's future career would not be affected, Zhao Ji could only do this.

Zhao Ji spent a whole day in the Dongping County Prince's Mansion, and the smile on Concubine Chai's face never disappeared. The same goes for Zhao Ji. Both mothers achieved their goals.

But some people are happy and some are worried. The most jealous and angry people are Zhao Mu's eldest brother Zhao Yong and his third sister Zhao Jing.

Zhao Yong was scolded by his wife, saying that as his legitimate brother, he was not as good as his brother in every way.

Zhao Mu was already a popular figure in front of the emperor at a young age, and now he was awarded the title of heir, which was higher than that of his elder brother. Zhao Yong's wife, Princess Qian, constantly criticized Zhao Yong for his incompetence, and also blamed him for not having a good relationship with Zhao Mu, his younger brother. So much so that now they can't get any glory, just don't say anything, just don't be resented by him.

The little princess wanted Zhao Yong to come to Zhao Mu in person someday to apologize and restore the brotherhood again. However, although Zhao Yong did not treat his concubine and brothers harshly, he did not give them much good looks. Especially after the death of the old King Dongping, he didn't give any good face at all.

Moreover, in terms of age, Zhao Yong was similar in age to Zhao Mu's mother, Zhao Ji. Even though it was the order of the young wife to ask him to beg for mercy from a brother who could be his son, Zhao Yong really couldn't bear to do it. Therefore, a lot of conflicts broke out between King Dongping and his wife.

The same goes for Prince Shang's Mansion. Chai Wen, the third brother-in-law of Zhao Mu, does not have much prejudice against Zhao Mu. On the contrary, Chai Wen sympathized with Zhao Mu. This is because both of them are from humble backgrounds. Although Chai Wen's biological mother has a better reputation than Zhao Mu's biological mother, there is no difference between the maidservant and the thin horse concubine. They are both existences that do not enter the genealogy.

Moreover, when his third brother was buried, Zhao Mu also went to pay homage in person. Therefore, Zhao Mu was now crowned king, and Chai Wen thought of going to congratulate him in the name of Prince Chai's Mansion. After all, in terms of relationship, the two of them can barely be considered "cousins."

But Chai Wen's request was rejected by his wife. The reason is that Zhao Jing hates Zhao Mu and her son, and now she hates them so much when she sees them gaining power.

In the end, Chai Wen had no choice but to ask Princess Shoukang to write a congratulatory note and send it in the name of the old King Shang.

After Zhao Ji returned home in the evening, Zhao Mu arranged for her to meet Mu Wanqing. Although Zhao Ji was a little surprised as to why Princess Zhaohua was here, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he treated his future daughter-in-law with great courtesy. Mu Wanqing also had a good impression of this mother-in-law.

First, Mu Wanqing was born in the world, and she did not have much secular prejudice, so she discriminated against Zhao Ji because of her identity.

The two are that Zhao Ji was born in Goulan Fengyue. She knows countless people and is best at observing words and emotions. As a woman, she knew how to handle a little girl like Mu Wanqing. So Zhao Ji didn't show off and even got along with Mu Wanqing as a "sister". Mu Wanqing did not feel the majesty of the "evil mother-in-law" she imagined in Zhao Ji. She was in a happy mood and naturally had a good impression of Zhao Ji.

And the third thing is that Zhao Ji is very beautiful. Although Mu Wanqing was also a beauty herself, she also met a lot of her beautiful aunt and pretty sisters when she was with her father. But Mu Wanqing felt that none of them were as good as her mother-in-law Zhao Ji. Among the people Mu Wanqing knew, the only one who could equal Zhao Ji was Miss Wang next to Murong Fu.

But at this time, Mu Wanqing was a little scared.

Mu Wanqing was not afraid of Zhao Ji, but afraid of her father Duan Zhengchun.

Zhao Ji was born in Yangzhou, which is not too far from Suzhou. There was an old lover of his father in the city of Gusu.

Zhao Ji was so beautiful, she was afraid that the "quasi-mother-in-law" in front of her was also her father's old lover.

Although she is Duan Zhengchun's daughter, she is now named a princess. Mu Wanqing's announced identity is that of the "biological only daughter" of the current Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming, not Duan Zhengchun's daughter. Except for Zhao Mu, no one else in the Song Dynasty knew her true identity.

Mu Wanqing's biggest nightmare in her life was that she initially accepted Dao Baifeng as her mother-in-law, but in the end, Duan Yu, her husband, became his brother.

Now Mu Wanqing is very scared, she is afraid that this kind of thing will happen again. She was afraid that her husband would become her brother again.

This kind of thing happens once, and if it happens again, Mu Wanqing is afraid that she will go crazy. However, when she remembered that Zhao Mu's personal moral character was exactly the same as that of her father, her hidden uneasiness became even stronger.
