When the eunuch left the palace with the post, before Yan Li returned to Jiang's house, she and Mu Cang finished shopping and returned to the Jiuwang Mansion. At this time, she was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window and listening to the subordinates of the Jiuwang Mansion who made the latest news one by one.
"Miss Gu was confirmed to be a perfect jade after being tested by the nanny in the palace. However, because the lonely man and widowed woman lived in the same room, King Jing made it clear that he would not marry her, so the emperor gave her to Mu Wenxuan."
When Yan Li heard that Gu Anxian was still in perfection, her face was as calm as usual, and obviously she was not surprised at all.
After all, Mu Wenxuan is indeed inhumane at the moment.
But for Gu Anxian, the process of the nanny in the palace, was probably a humiliation that was even more uncomfortable than death.
I wonder if she had thought that what she had done before would ruin another woman when she faced all this?
"Mu Wenxuan was punished with ten sticks. After the beating, he was sent back to Prince Yu's mansion by the palace guards. Princess Yu cried and scolded the Gu family's legitimate daughter. After learning about this, Prince Yu went to the palace to apologize."
Yan Liwei was surprised: "It's just over so lightly?"
"Yes, Miss Gu was not punished." The subordinates of the Nine Princes' Mansion replied, "Prime Minister Gu went to apologize, but was scolded by the emperor and scolded him for his incompetence and humiliating his family. Later, King Yu went
, the emperor scolded the two of them again."
Mu Cang waved his hand and walked away from his subordinates, walked to Yan Li and sat down: "Gu Xiang is the leader of all officials, and the emperor will give him some face no matter what."
Even if he scolds him angrily, he is just a thunder and rain, so he will not really make him, the prime minister, unable to come to Taiwan.
"It's certain to give face." Yan Li smiled faintly, "But the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea. The marriage that he went with the flow directly cut off all hopes of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today's affairs have become a laughing stock in the imperial city. The Gu family's legitimate daughter would rather marry Mu
Wenxuan doesn’t want to marry King Jing either—whether he is being plotted against or plotted against others, for the emperor, he slapped him in the face.”
As the emperor of the Nine Five, can he tolerate it?
The imperial edict given to King Jing was personally issued by him, but as soon as the imperial edict was issued, Gu Anxian did such a thing, which was equivalent to indirectly forcing the emperor to take back the order and change the order every day.
Even if the emperor is tolerant and generous, it is impossible for him to have no idea at all.
Mu Cang narrowed his eyes and drank a sip of tea.
"But what will happen to the Gu family in the future is not important to me." Yan Li put down the teacup, with an indifference between his eyebrows and eyes, "If the Gu family is unlucky, the happiest person is the queen and the prince,
But I like to hold grudges and don’t want to make them too happy.”
A smile flashed in Mu Cang's eyes and he nodded slowly: "You are right."
Yan Li turned his head to look at him, and was about to say something, but he heard the servant come to report: "Prince, Your Highness King Jing asks for a meeting."
Yan Li was slightly surprised: "What are he here to do?"
As a victim of cuckolding, shouldn't King Jing stay in the palace to drink wine at this time? Even if he was just doing superficial work, he shouldn't beg for the ninth prince so much.
"Let him in."
"yes."
After a while, a handsome man with a brocade robe and jade crown walked in steadily and first greeted Mu Cang: "Xiu Jing has met Uncle Jiu."
“No need to be polite.”
King Jing raised his peach blossom eyes and fell naturally on Yan Li's face: "Princess Nanyang?"
Yan Li raised her eyebrows: "What's the point?"
King Jing looked at her deeply, with a meaningful look: "To be honest, I actually came here for Princess Nanyang."
King Jing raised his hand, and the servant behind him came forward to hand over a gift, "Thank you for Princess Nanyang's actions, and solved the problem for me. When the princess marry the emperor's uncle in the future, she will become my emperor's aunt.
The king must have a great gift to him.”
Yan Li was silent for a moment and slowly shook her head: "I didn't understand what Your Highness King Jing was saying."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. In short, I am very grateful to Princess Nanyang." King Jing bowed gracefully, then turned to look at Mu Cang, "Uncle Huang's eyes are keen to recognize the pearls, and Xiu Jing admires it."
Yan Li's mouth twitched, and His Highness King Jing seemed to be different from the prince.
"It was the Princess of Nanyang who knew the pearl with a wise eye." Mu Cang held the teacup and his voice was calm, "I am lucky to be chosen by her."
King Jing smiled calmly: "No matter who chooses whom, it is undeniable that the Nine Emperor and the Princess of Nanyang are born together. My nephew offers the most sincere blessings here."
Yan Li nodded: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." King Jing nodded and said goodbye."
Mu Xiujing left quickly, less than half a cup of tea.
Yan Li and Mu Cang looked at each other, and for a moment, Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "This King Jing is more interesting than the prince and the fourth prince."
"King Jing was born to Concubine Wei Shu, and the Wei family is the largest merchant family in Mu Country." Mu Cang said calmly, "The taxes paid by the Wei family to the treasury every year account for almost half of the treasury taxes, so the emperor always indulged in the treasury mother and son Wei Shu, and his son.
.”
Yan Li nodded: "He has the intention to compete for the stock market?"
"Outsiders think he has it, especially Prime Minister Gu." Mu Cang said, "But in my judgment, he should not be interested in the throne."
"There is no weakness for those who have no desires." Yan Li smiled faintly, "so King Jing looks much more pleasing than the prince."
Mu Cang frowned slightly: "Pleasant?"
"Yeah." Yan Li nodded calmly, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Nothing.
Mu Cang was speechless.
"Is the prince jealous?" Yan Li's expression was a little subtle, "No need to be like this. The prince is a god of war with 300,000 soldiers and horses. He must have majesty and dignity. He cannot be jealous of every family like his little daughter, which will damage the prince's majesty.
.”
Mu Cang calmly: "Can the God of War not have feelings?"
"Not-"
"Can the God of War be jealous?"
Yan Li was silent: The same four words: "Not that."
Mu Cang said: "If you like someone, you will hope that the other person will be in his heart and eyes. Isn't this human nature?"
Yan Li thought about it and felt that he made sense.
"I always thought the prince was indifferent and taciturn, but I didn't expect that he was so eloquent."
Mu Cang smiled softly: "It's only in front of you."
Yan Li coughed lightly and changed the topic uncomfortably: "Let me see what King Jing gave him."
When I opened the brocade box given by King Jing, I saw a jade token lying on the velvet cloth with the word "Wei" written on it, and there were four small characters next to it: Wei's Pin Number.
"This gift is quite real." Yan Li picked up the jade plaque and looked at it for a while, "King Jing is indeed a real person."
Mu Cang's eyes were slightly darker, and he was a little displeased with King Jing's actions of showing kindness.
"But I probably won't use it." Yan Li put the jade token back into the brocade box and put it aside on the table, "This is for the time being. Anyway, we will be a family in the future, and we will not distinguish between you and me."
The family, no matter how you and me are.
This sentence penetrated into her heart like a magic pill. Knowing that she just said it casually or did not hide any meaning, Mu Cang's mood became better involuntarily, and his eyebrows and eyes were much softer: "Yes."
They really don't need to divide you and me.
"It's been a bit long since I came out today, so it's time for me to go back." Yan Li stood up and reminded him, "Your Majesty has a good rest."
Mu Cang was a little reluctant, but he did not stop her from leaving. He stood up and sent her out: "There have been a lot of things recently. To prevent dogs from rushing to avoid the wall, you must pay attention to protecting yourself."
Yan Li understood what he meant, "Don't worry, prince, I know what I think."
After leaving the Jiuwang Mansion and returning to the Jiang family by carriage, Yan Li just got out of the carriage and saw an insult waiting outside the gate. I don’t know how long it took.
