The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 732 The Tragic Newlywed Life
Chapter 732 The Tragic Newlywed Life
When they returned to the palace and had dinner with the old princess, the two didn't mention anything about the palace. The old princess answered whatever she asked. After dinner, the two were driven back to their yard by the old princess. It looked as if she wanted the two of them to roll into bed immediately and do something to have a baby, leaving Mu Jinxi speechless for a while.
After returning to the room and washing up, the two lay on the bed before Mu Jinxi asked, "Does grandma know what the emperor said today?"
Jue Lin was silent for a while and said, "I should know."
Mu Jinxi frowned: "Then grandma is willing?"
"So what if you don't want to? Besides, it's only recorded on the imperial jade certificate, and people will still stay in Mu Wang's mansion to raise them, but it's just a matter of surname. Now that Xiaobao is so old, if you want Xiaobao to go Grandma would definitely not want it, but if it's the second child... grandma should understand."
"That's true. Grandma has always been a sensible person." Thinking of the hardships my grandmother has put in to support the huge Mu Palace for so many years with a woman, but not only did my grandmother not allow anyone to occupy the Mu Palace. It's cheap, and it's not something ordinary women can do to raise Juelin so big and so well. Grandma is a very tough and strong woman.
The two fell silent, and neither of them spoke. Mu Jinxi closed her eyes and smelled the faint incense in the room, as well as the fresh scent of pine from the people around her, which made her feel drowsy from the comfort. While falling asleep, she suddenly heard someone say something, her confused mind paused before she opened her eyes and asked, "What did you just say?"
When she opened her eyes, she realized that this person had come to her side at some point, almost sticking to her body. Her sanity, which was about to be snatched away by Duke Zhou, immediately returned, and she opened her eyes and looked at him vigilantly.
Jue Lin smiled charmingly: "Why don't we start working hard to have a second child now!"
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, her eyeballs rolled, and she quickly reached out her hand to cover his pressed mouth, "Wait, I have something to say!"
"It's getting late now, let's rest first!" Jue Lin's heart was already ready to move, he couldn't forget the wonderful taste of last night, he was a little addicted, and wanted to taste it again and again, if he hadn't watched her last night Really tired, he won't let her go so easily.
He had no memory of that time a few years ago, let alone what kind of experience it was. He finally got together with her, and after waiting for so long, he finally got married. It's late, of course, I can't just lie in bed and sleep with a quilt in vain.
"Wait for me to finish first!" Mu Jinxi insisted, desperately pushing against his body that was trying to get closer. In fact, except for his head, which was pushed away by her desperately, the rest of his body was already tight Clinging to her body, the scorching heat brought by the naked skin made her face burn slightly, and then desperately told herself to be calm, don't panic, don't panic, I'm not a little girl anymore , what's the big deal, I still have serious things to say, how can I go on with this state?
Seeing her insistence, Jue Lin felt that he had better bear with it, and continued after she finished speaking.
Thinking of this, Jue Lin backed away slightly, his voice was a little hoarse because of lust, and said, "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."
He wanted to see what could be more important than having a baby.
It's just that after listening to Mu Jinxi's words, Jue Lin regretted it very much, wishing to turn back time and let her kiss her in a daze before pushing him away, and then perform Zhou Gong's ceremony logically, at least once Ah, instead of listening to her finish, I could only suppress the throbbing desire in my heart in misery and helplessness, and lay silently beside her and closed my eyes to sleep.
Mu Jinxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after Jue Lin backed away slightly. She was really worried that if Jue Lin forced herself to do so, she might not be able to control herself, and would soon be defeated. It's very tempting, even if she has a firm heart, she can't resist it, otherwise she wouldn't have come here several times in a row last night, ahem...
After the enthusiasm on her face subsided, Mu Jinxi was serious, and said unexpectedly: "At the beginning you did something sorry for me, took my innocence like a bandit, and then patted my ass and left, although you have Sincerely, I wanted to take responsibility later, but I couldn't erase the harm you caused me, so I still feel a little resentful in my heart."
Jue Lin never expected that she would say such words at this time, so she was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.
"Jin, Jin'er, didn't you say that if you talk about the past, let it go, and we don't want to mention it anymore? Then why, why, bring it up again?" Jue Lin stammered , a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, she felt as if she wanted to settle accounts after autumn.
Mu Jinxi said without shame: "Don't you know that there is a saying that the only villains and women are hard to raise? I thought about it and thought it would be too unfair to me to let you go like this."
After being silent for a while, Jue Lin asked desperately, "Then what do you want?"
As long as she said it, he would do it!
Mu Jinxi squinted at him and asked, "Are you going to do whatever I say?"
Jue Lin looked at the person lying sideways beside him, and for some reason, a feeling of uneasiness flashed in his heart. He instinctively told him that he should not go along with her words at this time, but it would be impossible if he didn't go along with her...
So in the end he still replied with a somewhat dejected voice: "En."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big smile on the people around him, and said cheerfully: "In that case, you are not allowed to touch me for the next month! If you can't help it, just sleep on the floor!" Or you can simply move to the study, I'm not afraid of other people's gossip, I will also be responsible for explaining to grandma!"
Her words were like a thunderbolt hitting Jue Lin on the head, making him dizzy.
"Jin'er, are you joking?"
Mu Jinxi said very seriously: "I'm serious."
Jue Lin's face turned pale, and a miserable expression appeared on his face. He looked at her pitifully and said, "Jin'er, can you punish me in another way?"
This is simply too cruel!They just got married yesterday, and he just had sex last night, and tonight Jin'er told him that he would be cold for a month? !This is not the same as setting a large table of good food in front of a person who has been hungry for several days. First, give the person who has been hungry for several days a small piece of chicken, and then tell him that the meal on this large table will be over. Can I eat it for a few days?How can you stand it? !
"no!"
Seeing the earnestness and persistence on her face, unshakable, Jue Lin only felt a gust of cold wind blowing his heart chills. Sure enough, his intuition did not betray him, and Jin'er actually gave him such a big problem. It took his life!
"Oh, you can sleep on the bed if you want, but you have to make sure you can bear it, if you dare to touch me when I don't agree... Hehe, you know what it is to annoy me Consequences." Mu Jinxi smiled darkly.
Taking a deep breath, Jue Lin said with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you!"
Hearing that he agreed, Mu Jinxi smiled and frowned, patted the bed beside her, and said in a brisk tone: "In this case, then lie down and sleep quickly, and you have to go back to the door tomorrow morning!"
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes with a smile on her face. It can be seen that she was in a good mood. She felt sorry for Jue Lin. She had warm and fragrant nephrite by her side, but she could only look at it, not touch it. Besides, he had already become lusted just now, but now he couldn't help it. He didn't press down abruptly, and lay down beside her in a regular manner, smelling the faint and charming body fragrance she exuded, feeling pain and happiness.
I don’t know how long it took Jue Lin to close his eyes, comforting himself silently in his heart, at least he can lie on the bed now, which is better than sleeping on the ground or in the study room, yes, that’s it, this is already the best result up!
This night was really difficult for Jue Lin, it was the most difficult night he had ever spent!It was originally a sweet, happy night, but in the end it turned into two people lying on the bed and sleeping under the quilt. No one would believe it when they said it. Such a difficult thing happened to him!
It's really paraphrasing what Jin'er once said. Sooner or later, he will have to pay back when he comes out to hang out. Who made him owe her?
The next day was the day to go back home, and Mu Jinxi was still in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion, which made people know that she was loved by her husband and son-in-law at a glance, and that kind of happiness overflowed from the inside out.However, compared to her, Jue Lin seemed a little depressed, as if he hadn't slept well. When the two appeared in the old concubine's yard, the old concubine looked at him strangely. He thought to himself, could it be that the two of them had been tossing too much at night? ?
But if it is really too much tossing, the tired and spiritless person should be Jin'er, how did he become Jue Lin?Isn't that weird?After asking, both of them said it was all right, maybe they didn't sleep well or something, and the old concubine couldn't ask too carefully about the things in the two people's rooms. Anyway, it's fine for the two of them to have no relationship problems. The two of them will handle it.
After a few instructions from the old concubine, Jue Lin brought gifts and Mu Jinxi back to the Xiao Mansion.
Although the daughter has only been married for two days, the people in the Xiao Mansion feel like a long time has passed, especially the couple Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang. It is the first time that the daughter has been away from them for such a long time, and it will be even longer in the future. They were very unaccustomed to it, and could not sleep well at night, worrying that their daughter was not used to living in the Mu Palace, or that it was not good.Although she knew in her heart that Jue Lin would not bully her, she still couldn't let go of her emotional worries.
As soon as Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin's carriage arrived, the two of them couldn't wait to walk up, as did Xiao Bao. He felt that he missed his mother very, very much. He has never left his mother since he grew up. Kiss so long!
"Mother!" Xiaobao flew towards the woman who had just stepped off the carriage regardless of Dongyang who was calling behind him.
As soon as Mu Jinxi got out of the carriage, she heard an eager voice, she turned around and bumped into a person in her arms, knocking her back slightly with force, but it was Jue Lin who quickly supported her back waist, helping her stabilize her body.
"Little Treasure, why did you rush over so recklessly? Mother was almost knocked down by you." Jue Lin scolded lightly.
Xiaobao also knew that his strength was too great, and obediently admitted his mistake: "Mother, I'm sorry, Xiaobao didn't do it on purpose, Xiaobao is so happy, Xiaobao hasn't seen mother for a long time."
Mu Jinxi suddenly couldn't help but cry, "It's just that I didn't see you yesterday, how long has it been? Where have you read all your books?"
"But Xiaobao just thinks it's been a long time." Xiaobao didn't care about this, he only knew that his mother had gone to the palace and was with his father, but he continued to stay in Xiao's residence.
"Okay, isn't mother just here to pick you up today?" Mu Jinxi smiled and comforted her in a low voice.
Dongyang who chased after her was also a little excited when he saw her, but he just saluted politely and didn't show much.
"Oh, Dongyang seems to have grown up a bit, and his body has grown a bit longer and stronger. I heard that you have been practicing martial arts very hard recently, remember not to go too far, you have to do what you can, you know?" Mu Jin Xi glanced at Dongyang and said with concern.
Recently, she has been busy with her big wedding and has no energy to take care of other things. Although Dongyang is Xiaobao's personal servant, but in Xiao's mansion, Dongyang doesn't just follow Xiaobao all day long. She doesn't have such a request , Dongyang also has her own things to do, she has given Dongyang a lot of tasks, she doesn't want Dongyang to become an ordinary servant.
Dongyang was also very happy to get her concern, and he nodded with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing Dongyang's widened face, Mu Jinxi sighed a little. If it hadn't been for what happened to Dongyang's family, Dongyang would probably be similar to Xiaobao now, he should be a little noble son, right?But now his family is broken and busy, he fell from a high place and became a servant, although Xiaobao never regarded him as a real person, but this does not change his current identity as a servant.
Every time I think of Mu Jinxi, I feel pity for Dongyang. It may be because he is about the same age as Xiaobao, and when I see him, I think of Xiaobao, so I feel more affection for him.
Then Mu Jinxi looked left and right again, and asked a little strangely, "Why didn't you see Xiao Hei?"
"I don't know where Xiao Hei has gone, I didn't see it yesterday." Xiao Nianxun who walked up and fixed his eyes on his daughter, replied while sizing her up carefully, Seeing her ruddy complexion, a hint of charm between her brows, and sweetness and happiness in her apricot eyes, she was completely relieved.
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Hei ran off by himself again?"
Afraid that she would get angry, Xiao Bao quickly explained for his pet: "Mother, Xiao Hei just went home, he told Xiao Bao before he left, and he said hello, so it's not considered leaving without saying goodbye." , Mother can't be angry!"
Mu Jinxi deliberately asked: "Oh? Why did it greet you, tell mother?"
Xiaobao became very distressed, what should he say about this?They didn't understand, but Xiao Hei really greeted him.
"Mother, anyway, Xiao Hei has already greeted Xiao Bao!"
"Okay, stop teasing Xiaobao, it's not that you don't know that he likes Xiaohei, you are married and a wife, why are you still acting like a child?" Xiao Nianxun said a little funny.
Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more, Jue Lin cupped his hands at Xiao Nianxun and said: "My son-in-law has seen his mother-in-law."
Xiao Nianxun was no longer angry at this time, and was very satisfied with Jue Lin, his son-in-law. Now that his daughter is doing well, he naturally likes Jue Lin even more, and said with a smile: "Okay, just come back , Now hurry up and enter the door, everyone is waiting."
A group of people approached the Xiao Mansion talking, laughing and laughing. Everyone in the Xiao Mansion was there. They were very happy to see Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin coming in. They sat together and chatted with Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin. They looked at each other before saying: "Grandfather, father, mother, uncle, we have to take Xiaobao with us when we go back later..."
Although Mrs. Xiao was very reluctant, she also understood that Xiaobao was not from the Xiao family. Before Xiaoxi and Jue Lin were not married, there was still a reason to stay in Xiao's mansion, but now that they are both married, Xiaobao is another Naturally, it is impossible for Jue Lin's own flesh and blood to stay in Xiao's residence.
So when I heard Mu Jinxi's words, Old Master Xiao behaved fairly normally, but he said with a little reluctance: "Hey, my grandfather also understands that he has already asked people to prepare everything for Xiaobao. Although the palace has everything, there are Some are what Xiaobao is used to, so let’s take them through the palace together! In the future, if you have more time, bring Xiaobao back to see us.”
On the contrary, Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang, Xiaobao has been by their side from conception to birth, until now they are so old, but now they are suddenly separated, the two are the most reluctant, and they were still with Xiaobao last night After staying in the room for a long time before returning to the room, it turned out that he didn't sleep all night.
Seeing this, Jue Lin said: "Even if Xiao Bao arrives at the palace, he is still your relative. If you want to see him, you can go to the palace at any time. Father-in-law and mother-in-law can also stay in the palace for a while. It doesn't matter."
Jue Lin's words made the two of them a little embarrassed, "How can this work? How can a father-in-law and mother-in-law stay at a son-in-law's house for a short time, and the two houses are both in the capital, so it's even more inappropriate."
"Mother, what's the matter? Didn't you say that the son-in-law is also a half son? Then what's wrong with you staying at your son's house for a while? It's settled like this. If you want Xiaobao in the future, you can come to live in the palace for a while." After a while, I believe grandma will be very happy to have guests from the palace."
"Well, Jin'er is right, and grandma will be very happy."
"This, let's talk about it later!." Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang also declined without hesitation.
"By the way, when did you choose a good date for Xiaobao to enter Princess Mu's genealogy?" Master Xiao asked.
Mu Jinxi nodded and said: "The selection has already been made. Just ten days later, grandma means that there will be a banquet in the palace at that time, and Xiaobao's identity will be officially announced to the outside world."
In fact, she didn't think this was necessary, because people in the capital already knew Xiaobao's identity, so why bother to do so many things?But obviously grandma didn't think so, so she didn't insist, and came according to grandma's wishes, but if she wanted to hold a banquet, she, the little princess, must be the one to do it. This might be a good opportunity for her to stand out in front of everyone , also formally stood in front of the people of the capital as the little concubine of Prince Mu's mansion, and communicated with the wives and ladies of each mansion. This was a new beginning.
Old Mrs. Xiao stroked his beard and pondered for a while before saying: "Ten days later... that will be soon, you have to prepare everything that should be prepared, the old concubine did this for the good of Xiaobao, Xiaoxi, you have to take it seriously This time, you can’t be sloppy about going to the family tree. If you don’t have any experience in hosting banquets, you can ask your aunt or discuss it with the old concubine.”
The old man Xiao was worried that his granddaughter was too stubborn and too strong, and she had to do everything by herself, and if she was too strong, it would be easy to break. He was really worried that she would suffer from it.
Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Grandfather, you don't have to worry, I understand."
After staying in Xiao's mansion for several hours, the two were ready to leave and return to Prince Mu's mansion. Xiaobao's things had also been packed, and the servants had already loaded the things into the carriage. Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin left after everything was ready. The family took Xiaobao back to Prince Mu's Mansion.
Xiaobao has been to the palace several times before, and he is no stranger to the palace, but today is obviously different. When he returned to the palace, there were many people standing in front of the palace. When they saw Xiaobao, they all respectfully called Xiaobao Prince, welcome the little prince back to the mansion, and so on.
Xiao Bao actually put on the posture of Xiao Shizi in a decent manner, with one small hand behind his back, and the other small hand waved lightly, making everyone who asked for peace get up in a serious manner, and Mu Jinxi could see that It's funny and a little proud.
Although her son grew up in the countryside since he was a child, the nobility and innate pride in his bones cannot be changed. His body is full of the blood of the royal family of Chu, and beads always shine One day, now that he has slowly returned to the track that belongs to him, thinking of what the emperor said yesterday, Mu Jinxi suddenly has a feeling that in the next few decades, or even a hundred years, their Mu Palace will not decline. The feeling of going down.
That's all, since it's here, it's safe, there's nothing to worry about.
It was such a short moment that Mu Jinxi made a decision.
Xiaobao has finally moved back to the palace. The happiest person is the old princess. Ever since she knew Xiaobao's identity, she has been looking forward to this day. Now it is finally here. She hugged Xiaobao when she saw him. After Xiaobao, no matter Xiaobao is a six-year-old child now, in this era, a six-year-old boy can be called a little adult.As soon as the old concubine hugged Xiaobao, she pinched his face and touched his arms affectionately, as if to see if he had lost weight.
Fortunately, Xiaobao is thick-skinned, so he doesn't feel embarrassed, instead he keeps saying sweet things to the old concubine, saying great-grandmother on the left and great-grandmother on the right, which makes the old concubine so happy that she can't stop laughing from ear to ear .
The Prince Mu's Mansion was full of excitement this night. In order to welcome Xiaobao's return home, the old concubine ordered people to prepare a large table of dishes, which were all Xiaobao's favorite food. Of course, she did not forget that she just got Therefore, the dishes on this big table are the favorites of both mother and son. At this time, the old concubine seems to have forgotten the grandson Juelin, and her eyes are all great-grandson and grandson-in-law, which makes Juelin very funny.
Xiaobao's yard was also prepared early, and the things in it were all the best. Everything was carefully selected by the old concubine or the manager of the mansion, because Mu Jinxi had reminded Juelin a long time ago that she could give Xiaobao Bao is good, but he can't develop his extravagant and enjoyment-loving character. Everything must have a limit, and it can't exceed this limit.Therefore, the things prepared in Xiaobao's yard should be good but not too luxurious, so that people can feel that the arrangement of a child's yard is too much.
Mu Jinxi was worried that Xiaobao was still not used to moving to the palace, so she decided to stay in Xiaobao's yard to sleep, but how could Jue Lin agree?Not being able to touch her was too much for him. Could it be that he couldn't even sleep in the same bed?
So Jue Lin also said seriously that as Xiaobao's father, he should also accompany him at this time, to make up for his regret that he never slept with Xiaobao.In this way, the two couples ended up sleeping on Xiaobao's big bed that could barely accommodate their family of three. Xiaobao slept in the middle, with his parents on both sides. This was Xiaobao's first time. I was sleeping with my parents, I was so excited, I looked at this and that for a while, I couldn’t fall asleep for a long time, and I fell asleep leaning on Jue Lin’s arms when I was tired. All with a smile on their face.
Mu Jinxi fell asleep quickly after a day of exhaustion, leaving only Jue Lin looking at the person sleeping in the innermost place across from Xiao Bao, crying silently in her heart, feeling that she was probably the most miserable groom in the world up.
Because of Juelin's big marriage, the emperor let him marry so that he could accompany his wife and children during the big wedding. He took their mother and son to the racecourse to play for two days before returning to the capital when he had time. After resting for a day, the vacation is over, and the morning resumes.
On the first day of the court, the emperor announced that he would be appointed as the chief minister, which made the whole court feel a little unprepared. The post of chief minister had been vacant for a while, and they were all guessing what would happen. Who filled the position of Da Sinong, but never thought that the emperor would let the young prince Jue Lin fill this position!
This...what on earth is the emperor thinking, how could he let the little prince Juelin take the position of the chief minister?
Only a few old, shrewd, and clear-sighted veterans accepted the news calmly. They had vaguely guessed that the emperor had this intention before, and now they can only guess correctly.In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. Jue Lin's ability is here. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity before, kept a low profile and didn't show it much, and he himself had no intention of this, the emperor is afraid He had already been assigned a top priority position.
But quite a few people were very surprised and stunned. Although they knew that the emperor had always valued the little prince Juelin, at least the little prince Juelin had only held a small official position before, but now he suddenly mentioned the Da Sinong The position, this... what does the emperor mean?
When the second prince heard the news, he curled his lips on the spot and hummed heavily in his heart. He knew that Jue Lin was always the most important thing in his father's heart. He still suspected that Jue Lin was actually his father's son. They were not .
The other princes also reacted differently, but generally speaking, it was normal, except that they were more or less uncomfortable.
But the eldest prince clenched his teeth, a dark color flashed in his drooping eyes, his hands under the sleeves of his court clothes were clenched into fists, and his veins were bulging.
Royal father actually let Jue Lin take up the position of chief farmer, what did royal father think?Does he really intend to hand over the great Chu country to Jue Lin after a hundred years?Could it be that Jue Lin is really the only younger brother in his eyes?So what are their sons?Does he want a younger brother without a son?He didn't understand, even if Jue Lin was the royal father's younger brother, after all, he had already been in the Mu Palace for so long, Jue Lin was not a member of the royal family when he was born, right?That being the case, why does the emperor care so much about this younger brother?
Realizing that even their own sons can't compare to them, how can the father look like an emperor?The eldest prince thought angrily in his heart.
The current scene reminded him of his childhood. At that time, he didn't know that Jue Lin was his father's younger brother. He was just unhappy. What the hell, as long as Jue Lin is involved, he must be the one who is finally forced to give in!
At that time, he didn't understand, even if Prince Mu and Princess Mu saved Grandpa and Grandma Huang, so what?They are courtiers, and shouldn't a courtier be a monarch, right?The emperor's grandfather has already sealed the Prince Mu's mansion, which is enough, so why should he be so nice to Jue Lin?It was only later that he realized that Jue Lin was actually the child of the emperor's grandfather, and his father's younger brother!It's his uncle!
At that time, he couldn't accept this fact at all, he wasn't happy at all, he just felt that he might as well not know this fact!If Jue Lin is just the young prince of the Mu Palace, there is no threat to him, but if he is his uncle, the younger brother of his father, then in the future, he will be qualified to fight for that position in the future!
He once said to himself that maybe he was thinking too much, things were not what he thought, and he was worrying unnecessarily, but that thought, that kind of anxiety did not disappear with time, on the contrary, it became deeper and deeper!Especially his father's attitude made him even more uneasy, that's why it happened a few years ago.
It's just a pity, that time he took such a big risk to send someone out to assassinate Jue Lin, and he almost succeeded, but who knows, he killed a Mu family halfway, and rescued Jue Lin back by mistake , a few years later things have become like this!
It's really not as good as man's calculation!
The eldest prince was very resentful and aggrieved in his heart, but the person sitting high on the dragon chair was his father, the ruler, what he could say, no matter how angry he was, he could only press it in the bottom of his heart, and his face Can't show the slightest, otherwise the father will definitely take the opportunity to reprimand him again.
After retiring from the court, the eldest prince came to Yongle Palace with a sullen and honest face.
The queen was a little surprised to see his gloomy face, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
"Mother, when the emperor was in court this morning, the emperor appointed Jue Lin as the chief minister!" The eldest prince said in a muffled voice.
"What? Jue Lin was appointed as the chief minister?" The queen was also very surprised.
The position of Da Si Nong is in charge of the national economy and finance, which is equivalent to holding Da Chu's economic lifeline and money treasury. The emperor actually put Jue Lin in such an important position!
The position of Da Sinong has been vacant for a while. During this time, many people want to put their own people in it, but Da Sinong is not a petty official, so it is not so easy to put people in. She was worrying about how to get the emperor's son on top, but who knew that the emperor would suddenly come up with such a trick and appoint Jue Lin as the chief minister!This completely disrupted her plan!
"Already appointed? Has the paperwork been issued yet?" the queen asked with a solemn face.
The eldest prince nodded and said with an ugly face: "Father said it in front of civil and military officials. It is estimated that the documents will be issued after he retires."
"So fast..." the Queen murmured in a low voice.
The eldest prince couldn't help but sneered and said, "Which father isn't like this when it comes to matters related to Jue Lin? He's going to strike first!"
"Emperor!" The queen frowned slightly and reprimanded lightly, "That's your father!"
Even if you are dissatisfied with this matter, you can't put this dissatisfaction on the emperor, because he is the emperor, the son of the Great Chu!
Maybe the eldest prince was stimulated by what happened today, and after hearing what the queen said, instead of restraining himself, he became even more aggrieved, even aggrieved, and said angrily: "Mother, this is your Yongle Palace, surrounded by your people Let me tell you what's the matter? You have to pretend like you have nothing to do on weekdays, so you can't let off steam when you come to the mother's queen? In the heart of the father, there is only Jue Lin! I don't know who is it. Father's son!"
"Emperor!" The queen's complexion changed, her heart was beating fast, she glanced around and made sure that there was no one there, so she waved her hand to let the servants in the palace back out temporarily, and then said with a soft sigh: "You know that your father has valued Jue Lin for so many years, why do you still care about these things? This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, just think about it, as long as the things that belong to you are not taken away in the end Just fine."
The queen is also very helpless, she knows Jue Lin's identity, so what can she say about what the emperor has done, and what can she do?No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you have to endure it!She can bear other things, but she absolutely cannot bear to be snatched away by Jue Lin for what belongs to her emperor!
"Queen mother, look at the emperor father, who knows if he will really pass the throne to Jue Lin in the future!" The eldest prince blurted out.
"Emperor!" The queen yelled sharply, staring at him with hatred, feeling a little helpless.
She didn't know how many times she said it, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, but he couldn't show it on his face, even if what he said was the truth, he could only rot in his heart instead of saying it out, so that the emperor would not know when he heard it What will happen again!They can't change the emperor's feelings for Jue Lin, who made Jue Lin have such an identity?Because of Jue Lin's words, the emperor really wasn't sure if he would do anything.
The emperor is a good king, a wise king, a filial son, and a good brother, but he is not a good father!He treats Jue Lin as his own son. To him, Jue Lin is like his own son who was forced to adopt someone else's family at birth, so there will always be a feeling of guilt in his heart, and they can't change it!
All they can do is to guard against, guarding against the emperor's intentions in that regard, and also guarding against Jue Lin!So the last time she noticed something, she hurriedly told him, intending to let him be on guard, but who knew that she was made like that by his concubine!It was a waste of all her intentions. If she could make good use of this matter at the beginning, she might have dealt a heavy blow to Juelin. What happened?She did him a great favor and made her laugh outright.
In her heart, she was not happy to see Jue Lin being so highly valued by the emperor, and she also hoped that something could dampen his spirit, the best would be to make the emperor feel disappointed in him, or even give up on him, but she also understood the possibility If it is very small, then they can only find another way.It's not good for them if they don't want to tear themselves apart with Jue Lin unless it's a last resort!
"Prince, the queen mother has already told you that at this stage we can do nothing but defend! Your father is still young and has a lot of time left. If you show something now, let us Your father has noticed that the queen mother will not be able to save you when the time comes! You will still be the same as before, get along well with Jue Lin on the surface, and just guard against him in secret! There are some things that cannot be rushed!" The queen spoke to him in a slow tone. Said, I hope he can listen to his heart, don't get confused.
"Queen, are we just going to watch Jue Lin become more and more arrogant?" The eldest prince was very unwilling.
The queen sighed softly and said: "Although Jue Lin has taken the position of Da Sinong, there are still other vacancies that you can fill in. Take it one step at a time."
What can she do?She is a queen, and her power is only limited to the harem. Since the founding of the Great Chu, she has prevented her relatives from interfering in politics. Regardless of whether she was born in a century-old family or not, the power of her mother's family will be weakened after entering the palace.In Dachu, not many people want to be a queen. Some people even say that from the fact that the emperor chooses the queen, it can be seen which family the emperor is going to attack.
She was able to become the crown princess at the beginning because neither the emperor had an affair with her, nor the emperor wanted to use her family's power. On the contrary, it was because her mother family was not strong, but she could not afford the position of the crown princess. That's why she stood out from among the many noble girls and became a princess, and then became a queen smoothly, but her mother's family was still the same as when she was a princess, and she didn't rise any further, nor was she The emperor weakened his power and was tepid.
It's probably because people from the mother clan have been keeping a low profile, and no one in the family is trying to make a living, so they are able to stay in the capital so tepidly. Once there is any movement, the emperor will probably take her without hesitation. The mother clan had a knife.
What can such a natal family help the emperor?
Thinking of this, the queen sighed silently.
"In short, you have to be patient in everything, and you can always find a suitable opportunity to do something." The queen looked at the eldest prince firmly and said word by word.
She didn't believe that Jue Lin could always be so lucky!
(End of this chapter)
When they returned to the palace and had dinner with the old princess, the two didn't mention anything about the palace. The old princess answered whatever she asked. After dinner, the two were driven back to their yard by the old princess. It looked as if she wanted the two of them to roll into bed immediately and do something to have a baby, leaving Mu Jinxi speechless for a while.
After returning to the room and washing up, the two lay on the bed before Mu Jinxi asked, "Does grandma know what the emperor said today?"
Jue Lin was silent for a while and said, "I should know."
Mu Jinxi frowned: "Then grandma is willing?"
"So what if you don't want to? Besides, it's only recorded on the imperial jade certificate, and people will still stay in Mu Wang's mansion to raise them, but it's just a matter of surname. Now that Xiaobao is so old, if you want Xiaobao to go Grandma would definitely not want it, but if it's the second child... grandma should understand."
"That's true. Grandma has always been a sensible person." Thinking of the hardships my grandmother has put in to support the huge Mu Palace for so many years with a woman, but not only did my grandmother not allow anyone to occupy the Mu Palace. It's cheap, and it's not something ordinary women can do to raise Juelin so big and so well. Grandma is a very tough and strong woman.
The two fell silent, and neither of them spoke. Mu Jinxi closed her eyes and smelled the faint incense in the room, as well as the fresh scent of pine from the people around her, which made her feel drowsy from the comfort. While falling asleep, she suddenly heard someone say something, her confused mind paused before she opened her eyes and asked, "What did you just say?"
When she opened her eyes, she realized that this person had come to her side at some point, almost sticking to her body. Her sanity, which was about to be snatched away by Duke Zhou, immediately returned, and she opened her eyes and looked at him vigilantly.
Jue Lin smiled charmingly: "Why don't we start working hard to have a second child now!"
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, her eyeballs rolled, and she quickly reached out her hand to cover his pressed mouth, "Wait, I have something to say!"
"It's getting late now, let's rest first!" Jue Lin's heart was already ready to move, he couldn't forget the wonderful taste of last night, he was a little addicted, and wanted to taste it again and again, if he hadn't watched her last night Really tired, he won't let her go so easily.
He had no memory of that time a few years ago, let alone what kind of experience it was. He finally got together with her, and after waiting for so long, he finally got married. It's late, of course, I can't just lie in bed and sleep with a quilt in vain.
"Wait for me to finish first!" Mu Jinxi insisted, desperately pushing against his body that was trying to get closer. In fact, except for his head, which was pushed away by her desperately, the rest of his body was already tight Clinging to her body, the scorching heat brought by the naked skin made her face burn slightly, and then desperately told herself to be calm, don't panic, don't panic, I'm not a little girl anymore , what's the big deal, I still have serious things to say, how can I go on with this state?
Seeing her insistence, Jue Lin felt that he had better bear with it, and continued after she finished speaking.
Thinking of this, Jue Lin backed away slightly, his voice was a little hoarse because of lust, and said, "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."
He wanted to see what could be more important than having a baby.
It's just that after listening to Mu Jinxi's words, Jue Lin regretted it very much, wishing to turn back time and let her kiss her in a daze before pushing him away, and then perform Zhou Gong's ceremony logically, at least once Ah, instead of listening to her finish, I could only suppress the throbbing desire in my heart in misery and helplessness, and lay silently beside her and closed my eyes to sleep.
Mu Jinxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after Jue Lin backed away slightly. She was really worried that if Jue Lin forced herself to do so, she might not be able to control herself, and would soon be defeated. It's very tempting, even if she has a firm heart, she can't resist it, otherwise she wouldn't have come here several times in a row last night, ahem...
After the enthusiasm on her face subsided, Mu Jinxi was serious, and said unexpectedly: "At the beginning you did something sorry for me, took my innocence like a bandit, and then patted my ass and left, although you have Sincerely, I wanted to take responsibility later, but I couldn't erase the harm you caused me, so I still feel a little resentful in my heart."
Jue Lin never expected that she would say such words at this time, so she was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.
"Jin, Jin'er, didn't you say that if you talk about the past, let it go, and we don't want to mention it anymore? Then why, why, bring it up again?" Jue Lin stammered , a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, she felt as if she wanted to settle accounts after autumn.
Mu Jinxi said without shame: "Don't you know that there is a saying that the only villains and women are hard to raise? I thought about it and thought it would be too unfair to me to let you go like this."
After being silent for a while, Jue Lin asked desperately, "Then what do you want?"
As long as she said it, he would do it!
Mu Jinxi squinted at him and asked, "Are you going to do whatever I say?"
Jue Lin looked at the person lying sideways beside him, and for some reason, a feeling of uneasiness flashed in his heart. He instinctively told him that he should not go along with her words at this time, but it would be impossible if he didn't go along with her...
So in the end he still replied with a somewhat dejected voice: "En."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big smile on the people around him, and said cheerfully: "In that case, you are not allowed to touch me for the next month! If you can't help it, just sleep on the floor!" Or you can simply move to the study, I'm not afraid of other people's gossip, I will also be responsible for explaining to grandma!"
Her words were like a thunderbolt hitting Jue Lin on the head, making him dizzy.
"Jin'er, are you joking?"
Mu Jinxi said very seriously: "I'm serious."
Jue Lin's face turned pale, and a miserable expression appeared on his face. He looked at her pitifully and said, "Jin'er, can you punish me in another way?"
This is simply too cruel!They just got married yesterday, and he just had sex last night, and tonight Jin'er told him that he would be cold for a month? !This is not the same as setting a large table of good food in front of a person who has been hungry for several days. First, give the person who has been hungry for several days a small piece of chicken, and then tell him that the meal on this large table will be over. Can I eat it for a few days?How can you stand it? !
"no!"
Seeing the earnestness and persistence on her face, unshakable, Jue Lin only felt a gust of cold wind blowing his heart chills. Sure enough, his intuition did not betray him, and Jin'er actually gave him such a big problem. It took his life!
"Oh, you can sleep on the bed if you want, but you have to make sure you can bear it, if you dare to touch me when I don't agree... Hehe, you know what it is to annoy me Consequences." Mu Jinxi smiled darkly.
Taking a deep breath, Jue Lin said with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you!"
Hearing that he agreed, Mu Jinxi smiled and frowned, patted the bed beside her, and said in a brisk tone: "In this case, then lie down and sleep quickly, and you have to go back to the door tomorrow morning!"
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes with a smile on her face. It can be seen that she was in a good mood. She felt sorry for Jue Lin. She had warm and fragrant nephrite by her side, but she could only look at it, not touch it. Besides, he had already become lusted just now, but now he couldn't help it. He didn't press down abruptly, and lay down beside her in a regular manner, smelling the faint and charming body fragrance she exuded, feeling pain and happiness.
I don’t know how long it took Jue Lin to close his eyes, comforting himself silently in his heart, at least he can lie on the bed now, which is better than sleeping on the ground or in the study room, yes, that’s it, this is already the best result up!
This night was really difficult for Jue Lin, it was the most difficult night he had ever spent!It was originally a sweet, happy night, but in the end it turned into two people lying on the bed and sleeping under the quilt. No one would believe it when they said it. Such a difficult thing happened to him!
It's really paraphrasing what Jin'er once said. Sooner or later, he will have to pay back when he comes out to hang out. Who made him owe her?
The next day was the day to go back home, and Mu Jinxi was still in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion, which made people know that she was loved by her husband and son-in-law at a glance, and that kind of happiness overflowed from the inside out.However, compared to her, Jue Lin seemed a little depressed, as if he hadn't slept well. When the two appeared in the old concubine's yard, the old concubine looked at him strangely. He thought to himself, could it be that the two of them had been tossing too much at night? ?
But if it is really too much tossing, the tired and spiritless person should be Jin'er, how did he become Jue Lin?Isn't that weird?After asking, both of them said it was all right, maybe they didn't sleep well or something, and the old concubine couldn't ask too carefully about the things in the two people's rooms. Anyway, it's fine for the two of them to have no relationship problems. The two of them will handle it.
After a few instructions from the old concubine, Jue Lin brought gifts and Mu Jinxi back to the Xiao Mansion.
Although the daughter has only been married for two days, the people in the Xiao Mansion feel like a long time has passed, especially the couple Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang. It is the first time that the daughter has been away from them for such a long time, and it will be even longer in the future. They were very unaccustomed to it, and could not sleep well at night, worrying that their daughter was not used to living in the Mu Palace, or that it was not good.Although she knew in her heart that Jue Lin would not bully her, she still couldn't let go of her emotional worries.
As soon as Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin's carriage arrived, the two of them couldn't wait to walk up, as did Xiao Bao. He felt that he missed his mother very, very much. He has never left his mother since he grew up. Kiss so long!
"Mother!" Xiaobao flew towards the woman who had just stepped off the carriage regardless of Dongyang who was calling behind him.
As soon as Mu Jinxi got out of the carriage, she heard an eager voice, she turned around and bumped into a person in her arms, knocking her back slightly with force, but it was Jue Lin who quickly supported her back waist, helping her stabilize her body.
"Little Treasure, why did you rush over so recklessly? Mother was almost knocked down by you." Jue Lin scolded lightly.
Xiaobao also knew that his strength was too great, and obediently admitted his mistake: "Mother, I'm sorry, Xiaobao didn't do it on purpose, Xiaobao is so happy, Xiaobao hasn't seen mother for a long time."
Mu Jinxi suddenly couldn't help but cry, "It's just that I didn't see you yesterday, how long has it been? Where have you read all your books?"
"But Xiaobao just thinks it's been a long time." Xiaobao didn't care about this, he only knew that his mother had gone to the palace and was with his father, but he continued to stay in Xiao's residence.
"Okay, isn't mother just here to pick you up today?" Mu Jinxi smiled and comforted her in a low voice.
Dongyang who chased after her was also a little excited when he saw her, but he just saluted politely and didn't show much.
"Oh, Dongyang seems to have grown up a bit, and his body has grown a bit longer and stronger. I heard that you have been practicing martial arts very hard recently, remember not to go too far, you have to do what you can, you know?" Mu Jin Xi glanced at Dongyang and said with concern.
Recently, she has been busy with her big wedding and has no energy to take care of other things. Although Dongyang is Xiaobao's personal servant, but in Xiao's mansion, Dongyang doesn't just follow Xiaobao all day long. She doesn't have such a request , Dongyang also has her own things to do, she has given Dongyang a lot of tasks, she doesn't want Dongyang to become an ordinary servant.
Dongyang was also very happy to get her concern, and he nodded with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing Dongyang's widened face, Mu Jinxi sighed a little. If it hadn't been for what happened to Dongyang's family, Dongyang would probably be similar to Xiaobao now, he should be a little noble son, right?But now his family is broken and busy, he fell from a high place and became a servant, although Xiaobao never regarded him as a real person, but this does not change his current identity as a servant.
Every time I think of Mu Jinxi, I feel pity for Dongyang. It may be because he is about the same age as Xiaobao, and when I see him, I think of Xiaobao, so I feel more affection for him.
Then Mu Jinxi looked left and right again, and asked a little strangely, "Why didn't you see Xiao Hei?"
"I don't know where Xiao Hei has gone, I didn't see it yesterday." Xiao Nianxun who walked up and fixed his eyes on his daughter, replied while sizing her up carefully, Seeing her ruddy complexion, a hint of charm between her brows, and sweetness and happiness in her apricot eyes, she was completely relieved.
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Hei ran off by himself again?"
Afraid that she would get angry, Xiao Bao quickly explained for his pet: "Mother, Xiao Hei just went home, he told Xiao Bao before he left, and he said hello, so it's not considered leaving without saying goodbye." , Mother can't be angry!"
Mu Jinxi deliberately asked: "Oh? Why did it greet you, tell mother?"
Xiaobao became very distressed, what should he say about this?They didn't understand, but Xiao Hei really greeted him.
"Mother, anyway, Xiao Hei has already greeted Xiao Bao!"
"Okay, stop teasing Xiaobao, it's not that you don't know that he likes Xiaohei, you are married and a wife, why are you still acting like a child?" Xiao Nianxun said a little funny.
Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more, Jue Lin cupped his hands at Xiao Nianxun and said: "My son-in-law has seen his mother-in-law."
Xiao Nianxun was no longer angry at this time, and was very satisfied with Jue Lin, his son-in-law. Now that his daughter is doing well, he naturally likes Jue Lin even more, and said with a smile: "Okay, just come back , Now hurry up and enter the door, everyone is waiting."
A group of people approached the Xiao Mansion talking, laughing and laughing. Everyone in the Xiao Mansion was there. They were very happy to see Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin coming in. They sat together and chatted with Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin. They looked at each other before saying: "Grandfather, father, mother, uncle, we have to take Xiaobao with us when we go back later..."
Although Mrs. Xiao was very reluctant, she also understood that Xiaobao was not from the Xiao family. Before Xiaoxi and Jue Lin were not married, there was still a reason to stay in Xiao's mansion, but now that they are both married, Xiaobao is another Naturally, it is impossible for Jue Lin's own flesh and blood to stay in Xiao's residence.
So when I heard Mu Jinxi's words, Old Master Xiao behaved fairly normally, but he said with a little reluctance: "Hey, my grandfather also understands that he has already asked people to prepare everything for Xiaobao. Although the palace has everything, there are Some are what Xiaobao is used to, so let’s take them through the palace together! In the future, if you have more time, bring Xiaobao back to see us.”
On the contrary, Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang, Xiaobao has been by their side from conception to birth, until now they are so old, but now they are suddenly separated, the two are the most reluctant, and they were still with Xiaobao last night After staying in the room for a long time before returning to the room, it turned out that he didn't sleep all night.
Seeing this, Jue Lin said: "Even if Xiao Bao arrives at the palace, he is still your relative. If you want to see him, you can go to the palace at any time. Father-in-law and mother-in-law can also stay in the palace for a while. It doesn't matter."
Jue Lin's words made the two of them a little embarrassed, "How can this work? How can a father-in-law and mother-in-law stay at a son-in-law's house for a short time, and the two houses are both in the capital, so it's even more inappropriate."
"Mother, what's the matter? Didn't you say that the son-in-law is also a half son? Then what's wrong with you staying at your son's house for a while? It's settled like this. If you want Xiaobao in the future, you can come to live in the palace for a while." After a while, I believe grandma will be very happy to have guests from the palace."
"Well, Jin'er is right, and grandma will be very happy."
"This, let's talk about it later!." Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang also declined without hesitation.
"By the way, when did you choose a good date for Xiaobao to enter Princess Mu's genealogy?" Master Xiao asked.
Mu Jinxi nodded and said: "The selection has already been made. Just ten days later, grandma means that there will be a banquet in the palace at that time, and Xiaobao's identity will be officially announced to the outside world."
In fact, she didn't think this was necessary, because people in the capital already knew Xiaobao's identity, so why bother to do so many things?But obviously grandma didn't think so, so she didn't insist, and came according to grandma's wishes, but if she wanted to hold a banquet, she, the little princess, must be the one to do it. This might be a good opportunity for her to stand out in front of everyone , also formally stood in front of the people of the capital as the little concubine of Prince Mu's mansion, and communicated with the wives and ladies of each mansion. This was a new beginning.
Old Mrs. Xiao stroked his beard and pondered for a while before saying: "Ten days later... that will be soon, you have to prepare everything that should be prepared, the old concubine did this for the good of Xiaobao, Xiaoxi, you have to take it seriously This time, you can’t be sloppy about going to the family tree. If you don’t have any experience in hosting banquets, you can ask your aunt or discuss it with the old concubine.”
The old man Xiao was worried that his granddaughter was too stubborn and too strong, and she had to do everything by herself, and if she was too strong, it would be easy to break. He was really worried that she would suffer from it.
Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Grandfather, you don't have to worry, I understand."
After staying in Xiao's mansion for several hours, the two were ready to leave and return to Prince Mu's mansion. Xiaobao's things had also been packed, and the servants had already loaded the things into the carriage. Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin left after everything was ready. The family took Xiaobao back to Prince Mu's Mansion.
Xiaobao has been to the palace several times before, and he is no stranger to the palace, but today is obviously different. When he returned to the palace, there were many people standing in front of the palace. When they saw Xiaobao, they all respectfully called Xiaobao Prince, welcome the little prince back to the mansion, and so on.
Xiao Bao actually put on the posture of Xiao Shizi in a decent manner, with one small hand behind his back, and the other small hand waved lightly, making everyone who asked for peace get up in a serious manner, and Mu Jinxi could see that It's funny and a little proud.
Although her son grew up in the countryside since he was a child, the nobility and innate pride in his bones cannot be changed. His body is full of the blood of the royal family of Chu, and beads always shine One day, now that he has slowly returned to the track that belongs to him, thinking of what the emperor said yesterday, Mu Jinxi suddenly has a feeling that in the next few decades, or even a hundred years, their Mu Palace will not decline. The feeling of going down.
That's all, since it's here, it's safe, there's nothing to worry about.
It was such a short moment that Mu Jinxi made a decision.
Xiaobao has finally moved back to the palace. The happiest person is the old princess. Ever since she knew Xiaobao's identity, she has been looking forward to this day. Now it is finally here. She hugged Xiaobao when she saw him. After Xiaobao, no matter Xiaobao is a six-year-old child now, in this era, a six-year-old boy can be called a little adult.As soon as the old concubine hugged Xiaobao, she pinched his face and touched his arms affectionately, as if to see if he had lost weight.
Fortunately, Xiaobao is thick-skinned, so he doesn't feel embarrassed, instead he keeps saying sweet things to the old concubine, saying great-grandmother on the left and great-grandmother on the right, which makes the old concubine so happy that she can't stop laughing from ear to ear .
The Prince Mu's Mansion was full of excitement this night. In order to welcome Xiaobao's return home, the old concubine ordered people to prepare a large table of dishes, which were all Xiaobao's favorite food. Of course, she did not forget that she just got Therefore, the dishes on this big table are the favorites of both mother and son. At this time, the old concubine seems to have forgotten the grandson Juelin, and her eyes are all great-grandson and grandson-in-law, which makes Juelin very funny.
Xiaobao's yard was also prepared early, and the things in it were all the best. Everything was carefully selected by the old concubine or the manager of the mansion, because Mu Jinxi had reminded Juelin a long time ago that she could give Xiaobao Bao is good, but he can't develop his extravagant and enjoyment-loving character. Everything must have a limit, and it can't exceed this limit.Therefore, the things prepared in Xiaobao's yard should be good but not too luxurious, so that people can feel that the arrangement of a child's yard is too much.
Mu Jinxi was worried that Xiaobao was still not used to moving to the palace, so she decided to stay in Xiaobao's yard to sleep, but how could Jue Lin agree?Not being able to touch her was too much for him. Could it be that he couldn't even sleep in the same bed?
So Jue Lin also said seriously that as Xiaobao's father, he should also accompany him at this time, to make up for his regret that he never slept with Xiaobao.In this way, the two couples ended up sleeping on Xiaobao's big bed that could barely accommodate their family of three. Xiaobao slept in the middle, with his parents on both sides. This was Xiaobao's first time. I was sleeping with my parents, I was so excited, I looked at this and that for a while, I couldn’t fall asleep for a long time, and I fell asleep leaning on Jue Lin’s arms when I was tired. All with a smile on their face.
Mu Jinxi fell asleep quickly after a day of exhaustion, leaving only Jue Lin looking at the person sleeping in the innermost place across from Xiao Bao, crying silently in her heart, feeling that she was probably the most miserable groom in the world up.
Because of Juelin's big marriage, the emperor let him marry so that he could accompany his wife and children during the big wedding. He took their mother and son to the racecourse to play for two days before returning to the capital when he had time. After resting for a day, the vacation is over, and the morning resumes.
On the first day of the court, the emperor announced that he would be appointed as the chief minister, which made the whole court feel a little unprepared. The post of chief minister had been vacant for a while, and they were all guessing what would happen. Who filled the position of Da Sinong, but never thought that the emperor would let the young prince Jue Lin fill this position!
This...what on earth is the emperor thinking, how could he let the little prince Juelin take the position of the chief minister?
Only a few old, shrewd, and clear-sighted veterans accepted the news calmly. They had vaguely guessed that the emperor had this intention before, and now they can only guess correctly.In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. Jue Lin's ability is here. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity before, kept a low profile and didn't show it much, and he himself had no intention of this, the emperor is afraid He had already been assigned a top priority position.
But quite a few people were very surprised and stunned. Although they knew that the emperor had always valued the little prince Juelin, at least the little prince Juelin had only held a small official position before, but now he suddenly mentioned the Da Sinong The position, this... what does the emperor mean?
When the second prince heard the news, he curled his lips on the spot and hummed heavily in his heart. He knew that Jue Lin was always the most important thing in his father's heart. He still suspected that Jue Lin was actually his father's son. They were not .
The other princes also reacted differently, but generally speaking, it was normal, except that they were more or less uncomfortable.
But the eldest prince clenched his teeth, a dark color flashed in his drooping eyes, his hands under the sleeves of his court clothes were clenched into fists, and his veins were bulging.
Royal father actually let Jue Lin take up the position of chief farmer, what did royal father think?Does he really intend to hand over the great Chu country to Jue Lin after a hundred years?Could it be that Jue Lin is really the only younger brother in his eyes?So what are their sons?Does he want a younger brother without a son?He didn't understand, even if Jue Lin was the royal father's younger brother, after all, he had already been in the Mu Palace for so long, Jue Lin was not a member of the royal family when he was born, right?That being the case, why does the emperor care so much about this younger brother?
Realizing that even their own sons can't compare to them, how can the father look like an emperor?The eldest prince thought angrily in his heart.
The current scene reminded him of his childhood. At that time, he didn't know that Jue Lin was his father's younger brother. He was just unhappy. What the hell, as long as Jue Lin is involved, he must be the one who is finally forced to give in!
At that time, he didn't understand, even if Prince Mu and Princess Mu saved Grandpa and Grandma Huang, so what?They are courtiers, and shouldn't a courtier be a monarch, right?The emperor's grandfather has already sealed the Prince Mu's mansion, which is enough, so why should he be so nice to Jue Lin?It was only later that he realized that Jue Lin was actually the child of the emperor's grandfather, and his father's younger brother!It's his uncle!
At that time, he couldn't accept this fact at all, he wasn't happy at all, he just felt that he might as well not know this fact!If Jue Lin is just the young prince of the Mu Palace, there is no threat to him, but if he is his uncle, the younger brother of his father, then in the future, he will be qualified to fight for that position in the future!
He once said to himself that maybe he was thinking too much, things were not what he thought, and he was worrying unnecessarily, but that thought, that kind of anxiety did not disappear with time, on the contrary, it became deeper and deeper!Especially his father's attitude made him even more uneasy, that's why it happened a few years ago.
It's just a pity, that time he took such a big risk to send someone out to assassinate Jue Lin, and he almost succeeded, but who knows, he killed a Mu family halfway, and rescued Jue Lin back by mistake , a few years later things have become like this!
It's really not as good as man's calculation!
The eldest prince was very resentful and aggrieved in his heart, but the person sitting high on the dragon chair was his father, the ruler, what he could say, no matter how angry he was, he could only press it in the bottom of his heart, and his face Can't show the slightest, otherwise the father will definitely take the opportunity to reprimand him again.
After retiring from the court, the eldest prince came to Yongle Palace with a sullen and honest face.
The queen was a little surprised to see his gloomy face, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
"Mother, when the emperor was in court this morning, the emperor appointed Jue Lin as the chief minister!" The eldest prince said in a muffled voice.
"What? Jue Lin was appointed as the chief minister?" The queen was also very surprised.
The position of Da Si Nong is in charge of the national economy and finance, which is equivalent to holding Da Chu's economic lifeline and money treasury. The emperor actually put Jue Lin in such an important position!
The position of Da Sinong has been vacant for a while. During this time, many people want to put their own people in it, but Da Sinong is not a petty official, so it is not so easy to put people in. She was worrying about how to get the emperor's son on top, but who knew that the emperor would suddenly come up with such a trick and appoint Jue Lin as the chief minister!This completely disrupted her plan!
"Already appointed? Has the paperwork been issued yet?" the queen asked with a solemn face.
The eldest prince nodded and said with an ugly face: "Father said it in front of civil and military officials. It is estimated that the documents will be issued after he retires."
"So fast..." the Queen murmured in a low voice.
The eldest prince couldn't help but sneered and said, "Which father isn't like this when it comes to matters related to Jue Lin? He's going to strike first!"
"Emperor!" The queen frowned slightly and reprimanded lightly, "That's your father!"
Even if you are dissatisfied with this matter, you can't put this dissatisfaction on the emperor, because he is the emperor, the son of the Great Chu!
Maybe the eldest prince was stimulated by what happened today, and after hearing what the queen said, instead of restraining himself, he became even more aggrieved, even aggrieved, and said angrily: "Mother, this is your Yongle Palace, surrounded by your people Let me tell you what's the matter? You have to pretend like you have nothing to do on weekdays, so you can't let off steam when you come to the mother's queen? In the heart of the father, there is only Jue Lin! I don't know who is it. Father's son!"
"Emperor!" The queen's complexion changed, her heart was beating fast, she glanced around and made sure that there was no one there, so she waved her hand to let the servants in the palace back out temporarily, and then said with a soft sigh: "You know that your father has valued Jue Lin for so many years, why do you still care about these things? This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, just think about it, as long as the things that belong to you are not taken away in the end Just fine."
The queen is also very helpless, she knows Jue Lin's identity, so what can she say about what the emperor has done, and what can she do?No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you have to endure it!She can bear other things, but she absolutely cannot bear to be snatched away by Jue Lin for what belongs to her emperor!
"Queen mother, look at the emperor father, who knows if he will really pass the throne to Jue Lin in the future!" The eldest prince blurted out.
"Emperor!" The queen yelled sharply, staring at him with hatred, feeling a little helpless.
She didn't know how many times she said it, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, but he couldn't show it on his face, even if what he said was the truth, he could only rot in his heart instead of saying it out, so that the emperor would not know when he heard it What will happen again!They can't change the emperor's feelings for Jue Lin, who made Jue Lin have such an identity?Because of Jue Lin's words, the emperor really wasn't sure if he would do anything.
The emperor is a good king, a wise king, a filial son, and a good brother, but he is not a good father!He treats Jue Lin as his own son. To him, Jue Lin is like his own son who was forced to adopt someone else's family at birth, so there will always be a feeling of guilt in his heart, and they can't change it!
All they can do is to guard against, guarding against the emperor's intentions in that regard, and also guarding against Jue Lin!So the last time she noticed something, she hurriedly told him, intending to let him be on guard, but who knew that she was made like that by his concubine!It was a waste of all her intentions. If she could make good use of this matter at the beginning, she might have dealt a heavy blow to Juelin. What happened?She did him a great favor and made her laugh outright.
In her heart, she was not happy to see Jue Lin being so highly valued by the emperor, and she also hoped that something could dampen his spirit, the best would be to make the emperor feel disappointed in him, or even give up on him, but she also understood the possibility If it is very small, then they can only find another way.It's not good for them if they don't want to tear themselves apart with Jue Lin unless it's a last resort!
"Prince, the queen mother has already told you that at this stage we can do nothing but defend! Your father is still young and has a lot of time left. If you show something now, let us Your father has noticed that the queen mother will not be able to save you when the time comes! You will still be the same as before, get along well with Jue Lin on the surface, and just guard against him in secret! There are some things that cannot be rushed!" The queen spoke to him in a slow tone. Said, I hope he can listen to his heart, don't get confused.
"Queen, are we just going to watch Jue Lin become more and more arrogant?" The eldest prince was very unwilling.
The queen sighed softly and said: "Although Jue Lin has taken the position of Da Sinong, there are still other vacancies that you can fill in. Take it one step at a time."
What can she do?She is a queen, and her power is only limited to the harem. Since the founding of the Great Chu, she has prevented her relatives from interfering in politics. Regardless of whether she was born in a century-old family or not, the power of her mother's family will be weakened after entering the palace.In Dachu, not many people want to be a queen. Some people even say that from the fact that the emperor chooses the queen, it can be seen which family the emperor is going to attack.
She was able to become the crown princess at the beginning because neither the emperor had an affair with her, nor the emperor wanted to use her family's power. On the contrary, it was because her mother family was not strong, but she could not afford the position of the crown princess. That's why she stood out from among the many noble girls and became a princess, and then became a queen smoothly, but her mother's family was still the same as when she was a princess, and she didn't rise any further, nor was she The emperor weakened his power and was tepid.
It's probably because people from the mother clan have been keeping a low profile, and no one in the family is trying to make a living, so they are able to stay in the capital so tepidly. Once there is any movement, the emperor will probably take her without hesitation. The mother clan had a knife.
What can such a natal family help the emperor?
Thinking of this, the queen sighed silently.
"In short, you have to be patient in everything, and you can always find a suitable opportunity to do something." The queen looked at the eldest prince firmly and said word by word.
She didn't believe that Jue Lin could always be so lucky!
