Prosperous advisors

Chapter 139 Intrigue, garden farce (1)
Mu Changming said lightly, "Send this letter."

The man took the letter and returned it respectfully holding the envelope without even looking at it, "Yes."

In the dead of night, in the backyard of the Qin Mansion in the capital.The young master Pianpian in white stood under the eaves and looked at the full moon in the sky indifferently.The silvery moonlight shone on him, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver veil, making him appear even more empty and lonely.Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned his head, but there was a hideous scar on his supposedly handsome and flawless face, which made the man in white under the moonlight even more strange.

"It's so late, why are you still here?" Gu Xiuting asked lightly.

The boy in white stood in the corridor, frowned at him and said, "Brother hasn't rested yet?" Gu Xiuting shook his head with a smile and said, "If I rest, wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to come here? But what's the matter?"

Mu Qingyi said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is Emperor Hua's birthday."

Gu Xiuting was startled, and the two were relatively silent.Regarding the emperor of this country, the brother and sister have not talked much.Mu Qingyi has also been planning how to take revenge on Murong Yu, Murong An and even Pingnan Palace.But in fact, they all knew in their hearts that the one who really wanted the Gu family to die was the king on the high nine-fold throne.Murong Yu and his like, at best, saw Hua Huang's mind clearly and flattered them.However, the education they received from childhood told them to be loyal to the emperor and love the country. There has been a saying since ancient times that the emperor wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die.Therefore, their hatred for Emperor Hua is not as direct and true as they are for Murong Yu and others.

"That's right, tomorrow is Emperor Hua's birthday..." Gu Xiuting coughed lightly and sighed.

Mu Qingyi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Tomorrow I will also enter the palace to attend the banquet."

Gu Xiuting was stunned, frowned and said, "Why? Rumor has it that Mu Qingyi's face is disfigured, so it is said that he can not go." Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Today, Emperor Hua just appointed me as Princess Changning. I How can you not go to thank you?"

"Changning?" Gu Xiuting's expression changed slightly. There may be many people in the capital who know Mrs. Zhang's name, but not many people know Mrs. Zhang's fine print.But Gu Xiuting happened to be one of those few people.Looking up at the handsome young man under the moonlight, Gu Xiuting shook his head and said, "No, Yi'er, you can't go."

Mu Qingyi smiled slightly, raised her hand and touched her face lightly, her smile suddenly became a little colder, and she said with a smile: "No, big brother. I'm going, not only I'm going, but I also... just use this Open your face. I want to see what he wants to do!"

"Nonsense!" Gu Xiuting was no longer willing to speculate on how reckless a king who holds the power of the world can go.But he didn't want his only cousin to be hurt any more.

Looking at Gu Xiuting's tightly furrowed brows, Mu Qingyi covered her lips and smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry. Qingyi is no longer the Qingyi she was when she was a child. Qingyi has her own sense of what to do. Since the emperor has appointed me as a county Lord, no matter what he wants to do, he will not act rashly for a while. After all... no matter how reckless the emperor is, he still needs face."

"Since you know the emperor's thoughts..." Gu Xiuting frowned.Looking at the beautiful face of the young girl in front of her, she couldn't help but think of her gentle and elegant aunt back then.With a background like my aunt's and such an intelligent woman, she should have had a safe and smooth life.But it was only because of a coincidence that she saved a person, and since then she has never lived a day of comfort.The emperor's family... Ingratitude seems to have always been taken for granted.

Mu Qingyi sneered and said: "Since the emperor has this thought, can I be useful if I hide? Brother, I...my mother can't just die like that. There are so many people in the Gu family, and the cousin... Cousin, since these people don’t have hearts, they don’t need to live!”

"Yi'er..." Gu Xiuting raised his hand and gently stroked Mu Qingyi's hair, before smiling lightly, "It's useless how old brother you are, but he's even more indecisive than a daughter like you, Yi'er won't laugh at big brother, right? "

Mu Qingyi rubbed against Gu Xiuting's palm habitually, and said, "No way, big brother is the most powerful!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiuting was startled, staring at the hand that was stroking Mu Qingyi's hair just now, and was a little lost in thought for a moment.Many years ago, there was also a beautiful girl who always liked to rub her hands against him when he was rubbing her hair, then raised her head and said with a smile, "Brother is the best!"

Yunge... Geer...

Under the moonlight, Gu Xiuting looked at the girl in front of him with more complicated eyes.Mu Qingyi saw that her eldest brother was staring fixedly at her, not knowing what she was thinking of writing, so she couldn't help asking: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Xiuting smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing? No matter what Qing Yi wants to do, Big Brother will help you. No, Big Brother will work with Qing Yi to let those who shouldn't be alive go where they should go!" Under the moonlight However, the faint words of the young man in white made people feel a bit cold and murderous.

"what?"

Seeing her surprised gaze, Gu Xiuting smiled and did not explain, but said: "Be careful when entering the palace tomorrow, and when you come back, elder brother will give you a gift. Now elder brother can't help you for a while, Qian Qian Be careful."

Mu Qingyi smiled and said: "Brother, do you want to give me a gift? Great, no one has given me a gift for a long time. However, the most important thing for Brother now is to take good care of your body." Gu Xiuting smiled and said: "Don't worry, You will definitely like it, I have never seen such a coquettish girl like you, and I was very happy when I bought a few wood carvings back then. There is also a lotus leaf wood carving that will never be seen by anyone."

Mu Qingyi blushed slightly, and said coquettishly, "I'm not that easy to coax, isn't that a gift from my elder brother?"

Gu Xiuting smiled and said nothing, but looked at the girl in front of her eyes with a little more tenderness and pity.

Until Mu Qingyi was sent away, under the moonlight Mr. Xiuting looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed.Hesitantly murmured: "Ge'er...is that you?" In that year, he just became an official.The salary is not much, so I bought a few exquisite wood carvings for the female relatives at home.Among them, the little cousin took a wishful ornament.The person who got the lotus leaf and lotus pod woodcarving... was the eldest lady of the Gu family, Gu Yunge.

On the first day of his birthday, Emperor Hua named a daughter of the Suchenghou's mansion as the princess, and it was also Mu Qingyi who was said to have been disfigured.For a while, there were different opinions in the capital. Some said that Emperor Hua was moved by Concubine Rou and planned to marry Mu Qingyi into Prince Ning's mansion for joy. The title of princess was the compensation given to Mu Qingyi by Emperor Hua.Someone also said that it was King Ning's fiancée Mu Yunrong who was really going to marry into Prince Ning's mansion.It was only to compensate Suchenghou's mansion that the prostitute of Suchenghou's mansion was given the title of princess.But these are just idle guesses by everyone, and most people understand that such guesses are simply unreasonable.Even if Emperor Hua wanted to compensate the Suchenghou Mansion, he would never give a girl a title more noble than his own father, unless the girl planned to go out and get married.But if it is a marriage, the status of the princess is obviously not as good as the princess. Since it is a woman who is going to be canonized and married, there is no need to begrudge the name of a princess.In addition, for a disfigured woman, would there really be someone to marry her?But after thinking about it, it is not the first time that the status of female relatives is higher than that of men in Suchenghou Mansion.After Mrs. Zhang passed away, didn't the emperor posthumously confer the title of Mrs. Qin?If Su Chenghou is not posthumously proclaimed Duke of the State when he dies in the future, then this will be a great joy.
