Chapter 134 Same Phoenix, Different Destiny
After serving breakfast to the Queen Mother, Mu Li waited quietly, thinking about how to talk to the Queen Mother and return to Feng Mansion. Besides, he also had to visit her wine shop.
The emperor asked Eunuch Fu to send a palace card to indicate that Mu Li could leave the palace at any time.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and smiled calmly, "Ren'er is very considerate. Li'er can enter the palace at any time in the future."
"Queen Mother, Li'er doesn't know medicine, and the master is not here," Mu Li muttered in a low voice, worried about the Queen Mother's health. If it delayed her condition, wouldn't it be disrespectful?
"There are so many imperial doctors. Li'er doesn't need to know anything. He can just talk to the Ai family. Of course, if he has free time, he can occasionally cook some porridge and make one or two side dishes in the Ai family's small kitchen. The Ai family will also do the same.
I am very satisfied." The Queen Mother smiled brightly and her eyes were full of love.
Mu Li nodded, "Then Li'er will often come to bother the Queen Mother from now on."
She stepped aside and planned to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly the emperor was standing behind her.
When did Emperor Renzong come in?
Seeing him, Mu Li was a little surprised. This ninety-five-year-old emperor must have been running too hard in the past two days. It seems that the rumors from the outside world that Emperor Renzong is a filial son are true.
"How did the Emperor sleep well last night?" The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor, was startled for a moment, and then smiled.
Emperor Renzong nodded, "I had a meal at the Queen Mother's place yesterday. I wonder if there was something soothing in the porridge, but I actually slept until dawn." He looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, feeling very good.
His relaxed and joyful tone made the Queen Mother feel overjoyed.
"The Ai family took the pills from Xuanji Shengzi and stopped coughing. Even with the porridge cooked by Li'er, they were able to drink two more bowls." The Queen Mother followed the words and continued, but it was all facts and no exaggeration.
.
Emperor Renzong smiled. He had not felt so comfortable for a long time. The concubines in the harem were always nervous when they saw him. Even the queen was cautious.
Only here with his mother could he relax a little.
Especially Li'er is here, this girl makes people feel at ease and happy inexplicably.
"Li'er is never afraid of me." Emperor Renzong suddenly smiled.
Mu Li paused: Nani? What do you mean?
Could it be that when he came in just now, she didn't salute but chose the etiquette?
Mu Li stood calmly, thinking about when she would leave the palace at that hour. Since the emperor asked, she had to come back to her senses, "The emperor is a tiger that eats people?"
Emperor Renzong was very happy when he heard this. He was not a tiger, nor could he eat people.
When he first came to the throne, he did use some means to scare the tigers, kill chickens to scare the monkeys, and kill some fault-finding ministers...
Nowadays, except for the border, the country is considered stable, and his hands have not been stained with blood for a long time.
"Since you are not afraid of me, I would like to ask you again in front of your mother, do you really dislike your ninth brother?" Emperor Renzong observed her for a while, and when he saw her calm expression, he asked.
The Queen Mother also waited patiently for the good news.
"Mu Li dare not disobey the emperor's holy words." Mu Li suddenly knelt down, straightened his waist, and said calmly.
Eunuch Fu, who was waiting by the side, suddenly trembled in his legs.
This girl Muli really dares to say anything. What's wrong with Prince Zhan? Although there is a scar at the corner of his eye, which makes his cheek look a little more ferocious, if you don't take a closer look, he still looks dignified.
Besides... forget it, there's nothing that a slave like him should worry about.
Just be careful, listen more and talk less, you won't go wrong.
"I heard that the queen mother rewarded you with a piece of grass yesterday, which was the purple color you painted that day." Emperor Renzong was not annoyed and continued.
He just wondered why the queen mother betrothed her to Jiu'er. If Feng Muli didn't exist... she should be An'er's main concubine.
What kind of thing is this emperor's uncle robbing the princess from his nephew?
The queen mother is probably confused.
But looking at it, hey, who made the old man agree to her yesterday? Now, is this decree granted? Or not?
Emperor Renzong thought about it for two days, but he didn't think about it properly.
"Back to the emperor, Li'er likes that grass. Although it is inconspicuous, it is swaying in the wind and full of vitality." This was the impression Mu Li had when he first saw the thin amaranth grass.
Emperor Renzong was startled, and his smile became stronger, "Girl Li, you are still too young and don't like the dazzling peonies. No matter how bad there are, there are also swaying cuckoos, but you just like the grass. Whatever, maybe the ninth brother will
I like a silly girl like you."
Mu Li lowered his head, a little worried. The emperor had forgotten about the broken sleeve incident that was a big deal in the street. The protagonists were Prince Zhan and her... Not quite right, it was Mr. He Li Feng.
Now that the Emperor knows that she is disguised as a man, is she pretending to be stupid?
Or in front of the Queen Mother, deliberately... trying to hide it?
"When the ninth brother comes back, I will ask you carefully. If he does not object, I will comply with the mother's wishes. Who made the mother like you? If the ninth brother does not agree, my six princes will be free to leave.
Choose, as long as you are satisfied with Li Yatou." Emperor Renzong smiled and said again.
When Mu Li heard this, he buried his head even lower. After all, I still have to marry into your family. There is nothing to choose. If this is the case, it is better to marry Prince Zhan, without offending any prince.
Mu Li was startled by his own thoughts. What happened to him? How could he marry that murderous cold demon?
Emperor Renzong looked at her. This girl was young and fair-skinned. She was the most beautiful girl even without makeup. No wonder these princes liked her.
In fact, he didn't like the concubines in the harem wearing makeup and powder, but for some reason, their cheeks were all painted red, and the smell of makeup was really disappointing.
It's really not as good as Li Yatou's noodles in clear soup, but it's still juicy.
After all, you are young, it is great to be young!
Mu Li was stared at so hard that his face turned red. He finally raised his head and stared into her clear eyes, "I asked my father when I wanted to leave the palace. Why don't the emperor let my father enter the palace?"
Emperor Renzong was a little surprised. Didn't he say that I had the final say? Why did he have to go back to the palace to ask Grand Master Feng for instructions?
"Well, Mrs. Feng is probably worried because she hasn't left the palace for the past two days. She will leave the palace soon." Emperor Renzong looked at her and then ordered Eunuch Fu.
Mu Li leaned forward and returned the greeting.
The Queen Mother basically didn't interrupt. She just listened to what Mu Li and the Emperor were talking about, and secretly considered whether Jiu'er didn't know that this girl Li didn't like Jiu'er.
What if this strong-willed melon is not sweet? Could it be that this girl is making her lose her temper?
*
After Mu Li left the palace, the Queen Mother rewarded her with a lot of jewelry, saying that she had served her well during the past two days.
She entered the mansion with her front legs, and the rewards from the palace were also carried in with her rear legs.
The servants of Feng Mansion all had bright eyes. The eldest lady returned home, but it was different. After entering the palace, not only was the eight-carriage sedan escorted back to the home, but she also got this big box full of food.
Jewelry is so enviable.
Look at the concubine Feng Muxin. She is also a young lady from the Feng Mansion. She is pregnant and is still staying in the house. Could it be that King An no longer wants her and wants to divorce her?
No, no, no, it can't be. After all, she is also the concubine of Prince An's Mansion.
It’s true that they have the same phoenix but different fates!
