Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 244 Seal (4)
Xiao Qingyu glanced at him, and said in a calm voice, "If An Shizi really wants to be sealed off and run around the capital in women's clothing, I can accompany you anytime!"

An Mofeng choked with anger. He and Xiao Qingyu had taught piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and martial arts many times, and every time he lost, he would inevitably be punished with all kinds of strange punishments. He had never heard of those weird methods. I really don't know how Xiao Qingyu came up with it.

Mu Yutang looked at Xiao Qingyu and An Mofeng, who were on the verge of sword fighting, and looked at the sky speechlessly. She just wanted to have a quiet meal. Why did the two of them confront each other when they met: "It's meal time now, so don't quarrel. For the meal, I will pick up the food myself, so I don’t need your help!"

Mu Yutang sat at the other end of the round table with a small bowl, far away from Xiao Qingyu and An Mofeng, and she couldn't reach her even with extended chopsticks.

An Mofeng calmed down a little, looked at Mu Yutang's slightly yellowed face, and just wanted to help her eat more, when a polite greeting sounded outside the door: "Mu Guogong, hehe, this way please!"

"Master Wang!" The polite male voice Mu Yutang was very familiar with, and it was naturally from the scumbag father Mu Zhen.

Mu Yutang paused as he picked up vegetables. As an official of the imperial court, Mu Zhen came to the restaurant for two purposes. One was to discuss business affairs, and the other was to communicate with the officials. I don’t know why he came to Jianglou this time. What is the purpose?
"Do you know which private room Mu Zhen entered?"

"Bamboo compartment!" Xiao Qingyu and An Mofeng said in unison.

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows. As a secret agent, she could also listen to voices to argue her position, but the noise of people coming and going in the restaurant was very mixed, and she couldn't tell which room Mu Zhen went to.

Both Xiao Qingyu and An Mofeng have extremely deep internal strength, they can catch a very slight footstep in a noisy environment, and quickly determine his exact location.

"The bamboo room is also on the second floor!" Mu Yutang frowned slightly. She still wanted to hear what Mu Zhen had talked with that adult. The second floor is very high, and there is no foothold outside the wall, so it is not easy to eavesdrop. ah.

"Here!" Xiao Qingyu held a white cylinder and handed it to her. The front end of the cylinder was large, the back end was small, and there was a string-like thing attached to the end, just like the current receiver. Mu Yutang blinked. Said: "What is this?"

Xiao Qingyu looked at the surprise in her eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "I call it a wiretapping receiver, put it on your ear, and you can hear all the conversations in the private room!"

An Mofeng narrowed his eyes sharply, and his elegant voice was particularly dignified: "Xiao Qingyu, are you the one who opened Linjiang Tower?"

Xiao Qingyu rubbed the wine glass lightly with Baiyu's fingers, and did not speak, which was a tacit consent.

No wonder the shopkeeper vacated a private room when he saw Xiao Qingyu. I dare say this private room is for Xiao Qingyu's exclusive use, and all the bugging devices are in this room.

The restaurant receives hundreds of guests every day, ranging from high-ranking officials to dignitaries, and there are all kinds of people. They will talk about different things, and the sources of information are extremely wide. Every private room is the best place to collect information. .

Mu Yutang took the wiretapping receiver and put it to her ear, and the conversation in the bamboo room slowly came over.

"The concubine selection banquet is over. The emperor ordered me to undertake the wedding of the crown prince and the crown prince's daughter, Shangguan Yan. I'll be very busy recently. Before the crown prince's wedding, I'm afraid I won't have time to get together with Duke Mu again!"

Mr. Wang's humble voice conveyed the arrogance of being valued. Mu Zhen felt very uncomfortable listening to him. He abused his servants and was impeached by the censor. The emperor treated him a lot. In the past, no matter how big or small the matter was, the emperor would call the important ministers together. There will be his share.

But this time at the concubine selection banquet, the emperor invited important ministers to guard the three princes, but he was excluded. He wanted to know the details of the banquet, and he had to ask officials who were completely inferior to him. It was a shame.

"Third prince, won't Mr. Wang take care of the wedding of the seventh prince?" Mu Zhen was depressed, and inquired about the details of the banquet without any trace.

"There was an accident at the banquet. Neither the third prince nor the seventh prince were married. Only His Royal Highness the crown prince will get married next month. The burden on me is also lighter. Otherwise, the burden of the marriage of the three princes will be weighed down. I'm going to get tired!"

Master Wang's smiling complaint heard Mu Zhen's ear full of showing off, so he couldn't help but frowned, and continued to inquire: "What happened to the banquet? It actually delayed the marriage of the third prince and the seventh prince!" Choosing concubines for the three princes, after the banquet was over, only one was chosen, and the two were delayed. What happened must be a major event.

"It's Prince Qi's son, who suddenly became ill. Mu Yutang and the Seventh Prince sent him to the carriage outside the palace to take medicine, and the concubine selection banquet was forced to be interrupted." Having said this, Lord Wang looked at Mu Zhen, his eyes full of regret: " Your Majesty likes your daughter Mu Yutang very much, if Prince Xiao hadn't suffered from illness, she would have been married to the Third Prince and Concubine by now."

Mu Yutang and Shangguan Yan were the most outstanding at the banquet. Shangguan Yan rationed the crown prince as the crown princess, and Mu Yutang would naturally ration the third prince as a concubine. As for the seventh prince, he was worse than the two elder brothers. Pick whatever you want.

Mu Zhen's shrewd eyes narrowed sharply. Yutang was able to enter the palace to participate in the election because she was the daughter of Duke Mu's mansion, his daughter of Mu Zhen. blood relationship between.

If she becomes the third concubine, as his father, he will also be appreciated and reused by the third prince, but she actually gave up the great opportunity to become the third concubine in order to take care of the sick Xiao Qingyu, and he has been neglected by the emperor. Can't get better, she is really a stupid and rebellious girl who can't tell the priority of things, if he was at the banquet at that time, he would definitely slap her hard and wake her up.

Master Wang looked at Mu Zhen's gloomy complexion, a dark light flashed quickly in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, Mr. Mu, because Ling Qianjin is so good, she will eventually be loved by the third prince, and ask for a marriage..."

Mu Zhen sighed heavily, Yutang circled around Xiao Qingyu every day, how could she be loved by the third prince, many of the courtiers came from Mengyao Academy, strictly counting, Xiao Qingyu's power in the court far surpassed that of the prince and The third prince.

But Xiao Qingyu is Yutang's master, not Yutang's husband. As a father, he has no reason to ask Xiao Qingyu to help him regain his Sacred Heart.

Seeing his depression, Master Wang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Mu Guogong, don't worry, the emperor clearly rewards and punishes him. As long as Mu Guogong makes contributions, I'm afraid the emperor won't reuse them."

Mu Zhen sighed again, his eyes full of bitterness: "Lord Wang, don't make fun of me. I am completely free at home now. The emperor won't let me interfere in anything. How can I make any contribution and be reused again."

"This..." Lord Wang pondered for a moment, then muttered in a low voice: "There is an errand in the court waiting for someone to do it, but this errand is a bit special..."

Mu Zhen's eyes lit up: "What's the errand?" If you have an errand, you can make meritorious service, and if you make meritorious service, you will be appreciated by the emperor. It's too uncomfortable to be idle at home, and Mu Zhen can't wait to turn over.
