The Empress Dowager issued an edict to marry Yingluo, the daughter of the Murong family, to Prince Zheng as his concubine, and the marriage was to be completed on a certain date.
The Empress Dowager was tired and wanted to rest, so Murong Jinxin also took Yingluo away knowingly.
Murong Jinxin looked at Yingluo behind her, who was wearing a riding outfit, with a gloomy look and said, "I have something to say to you."
Yingluo knew that her dress would inevitably lead to a waste of words. Her sister was a queen, but she was just a concubine in the general's palace. She had always been arrogant, and her harmony in front of others was just a show.
"Sister, there are so many people talking here, so I won't lose my sister's dignity as a queen."
Yingluo's words hit the mark. She always valued her dignity very much. Murong Jinxin gritted her teeth bitterly, "Okay, where are we going to go to the Imperial Garden ahead?"
After a while, the two women came to the lake pavilion in the imperial garden. No one here would hear their conversation, let alone lose her majesty as a queen.
Murong Jinxin just couldn't stand her and wanted to teach her a lesson, "Do you want to disobey your father by dressing like this today? You are just a concubine who can marry Prince Zheng. How many lifetimes have you cultivated?"
blessing."
Reincarnated as a human being, Yingluo is no longer the Murong Yingluo she was two years ago. A trace of disdain curled up at the corner of her mouth, and she lightly snorted, "Humph!"
Murong Jinxin raised his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "What's that expression on your face? You're laughing at me!"
Yingluo suddenly looked up and looked at her sister's ferocious face. This was her true face, "I will not live a hypocritical life like you."
Murong Yingluo had never spoken to him like this before. Murong Jinxin raised his fist fiercely, spread his fingers apart and slapped him. Halfway through, Yingluo caught him in his hand, and his slender wrist was imprisoned.
Murong Jinxin was furious, "You are so rebellious and want to do the following!"
Yingluo's face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water as she looked directly at Murong Jinxin, "Sister, even if I am the concubine you call me, I am still my father's daughter."
The two sisters mostly quarreled when they were together. Yingluo didn't want to quarrel with her. She had to go out of the palace to find her father. She found out why his father wanted to marry her to King Zheng.
Murong Yingluo left Mu Jinxin in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden. On the way, she faintly heard the laughter of a child. Could it be that the child who could play in the Imperial Garden was Yu'er?
Murong Yingluo's favorite child was Yu'er. She followed the source of the sound and saw a group of palace maids playing around a five-year-old child.
"Yu'er!" Yingluo jumped up and landed in front of her.
"Auntie, you are so amazing, you can fly every time." Yuer would be very excited every time he saw her.
Yingluo's face softened instantly, and she stretched out her hand to caress Yu'er's forehead. Her pink and jade-shaped face was very cute, "What are you playing? Auntie is with you!"
Yu'er said happily: "Yu'er wants to fly in the sky like my aunt."
She never refuses Yu'er's request, "Okay! Auntie will take you to fly together."
Si Wushang left Fengqi Palace and went to the Imperial Study Room to see the emperor. When he passed by the Imperial Garden, he saw Princess Zheng who had just made an appointment in Qiluan Palace.
Seeing her expression full of worries and keeping away from strangers, it was still early, so she followed behind her quietly, hiding her breath.
But after seeing the child, she seemed to have changed. She was playing with Yu'er like an innocent child. Murong Yingluo, what are you thinking in your heart?
"Uncle!" Yingluo was playing with Yu'er. When she heard Yu'er calling softly, she realized that Si Wushang was slowly walking towards their direction behind her.
Yingluo had no feelings for him except knowing that he was her future husband. She only agreed to marry Prince Zheng in compliance with her father's wishes.
She returned to her original indifferent expression, and just nodded indifferently and said: "Yingluo has met Prince Zheng!"
Si Wushang's lips were filled with tenderness, "I didn't expect you to be here."
Yu'er is his nephew, which is not unusual here. Such words were not spoken out loud.
Seeing that both of them were speechless, Yu'er raised her head and stretched out her hand to pull Yingluo's sleeves, "Aunt, my father-in-law said that my aunt will be married to my uncle?"
Murong Yingluo remained silent. The child must have overheard her sister when she was lobbying for marriage.
Hearing this, Si Wushang bowed slightly and squatted down. The child was too small and could barely meet his eyes, "Yu'er is right, my uncle wants to marry Yu'er's aunt."
Children are the most innocent and do not think about the overt and covert fights between adults. They said happily: "Great, I will have a younger brother to keep Yu'er company in the future."
After all, Murong Yingluo is still a woman, and her face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, "Yu'er, what are you talking about?"
They say that children talk without restraint, but Si Wushang smiled weirdly, "Yu'er, uncle promises you that he will give you a younger brother to play with you!"
"Great! Yu'er has a younger brother."
Murong Yingluo looked embarrassed, "Your Highness! I have something else to do, please leave now!"
Seeing Yingluo running away in a panic, all the emotions of this woman were written on her face. How could Murong Xuan, that old fox, send such a person to his side for someone who doesn't know how to pretend?
In the imperial study room, the emperor's superior, Wu Yue, was reviewing memorials. He was dressed in a black robe, with deep facial features and a cool and elegant look.
The eunuch outside the door reported, "Prince Zheng has arrived!"
Si Wuyue put down the pen and paper in his hand and said towards the door: "Xuan come in!"
Si Wushang's eyebrows were bright and his lips were smiling slightly, and he walked in directly from the door, "My brother has met the emperor."
The two grew up together by the Queen Mother, and their relationship has always been strong. Si Wuyue stretched out her hand to motion for him to sit down.
Si Wushang was not polite and sat directly beside him, picking up the medicinal tea on the desk, and a strong bitter smell rushed into his nose.
Si Wuyue raised a clear smile on her lips, "What? It's not enough for you to pretend to be sick on weekdays. When you come here, you have to grab medicine from your brother."
"The emperor drinks these medicinal soups every day, and has to deal with a mountain of official duties every day. I really hope that the sick King Zheng will not become the emperor of Han Dynasty."
Si Wuyue just raised the corners of her lips lightly, "Have you thought through my proposal clearly?"
Si Wushang put down the medicinal tea in his hand and said calmly: "My brother has chosen the daughter of the Murong family as his concubine."
However, Si Wuyue smiled inexplicably, "You are not afraid of attracting wolves into the house. You know better than anyone what Murong Xuan has in mind."
"Isn't the emperor also thinking about peeling off the skin of that old fox Mu Xuan? Isn't it possible that the emperor is still worried that my younger brother can't deal with a mere woman?"
