Chapter 827 Mu Qing turns against the Queen Mother, unexpectedly
Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen knew each other, which was beyond Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin's expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen are ranked first and second in the Langya master list. One is the leader of the largest gang in the world, and the other is the seventh master in the Langya master list. They are both heroes in the world. If they know each other,
It's not a strange thing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingrui said with a smile: "Brother Su and Brother Yu know each other, and we meet here again. It's really fate."
Mei Changsu praised: "It is indeed a fate. You are all young and talented people. I am the only one who is sick."
Xiao Jingrui quickly comforted him: "Brother Su, you are over praised. You are recognized as a Qilin talent in the world. Brother Yu and you were friends for a while, but Yujin and I are just pawns."
"Jing Rui is right, we can't compare with Brother Su and Brother Yu."
Yan Yujin strongly agreed. Among the four, he was the least famous, but he was also the youngest, and he was not like Zhou Chen and the others who traveled around the world all year round. Naturally, fewer people knew him.
Zhou Chen said: "Jing Rui, Mr. Yan, you are too humble. Brother Su and I are almost thirty, and you are several years younger than us. You will definitely be better than us in the future."
"Brother Yu is right, Jingrui, Yujin, you don't have to belittle yourselves, your future is destined to be more exciting than ours."
Mei Changsu's expression was serious. He knew that he had no future. Zhou Chen was better than him, but he couldn't be sure. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin could still live for a few decades. With their intelligence,
and ability, the future will definitely be bright.
Xiao Jingrui was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he changed the topic and said: "Brother Su, Brother Yu, let's not talk here anymore, let's go to Yingfeng Tower first."
"good."
Entering from the outside to the inside of Yingfeng Tower, there are fewer and fewer people watching the battle, and it is getting quieter and quieter. There are the most people on the outside, and naturally the most noisy people.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin had people greeting them along the way. One of them was the eldest son of Ning Guohou's family, and the other was the son of Yan Guo's uncle's family. Looking at Daliang, they also had very distinguished status.
Due to the status of Ningguo Houfu, their seats are naturally in the five-color brocade shed surrounding the platform square.
Before entering the brocade shed, Xiao Jingrui was still a little worried, because he knew that both the prince and Prince Yu wanted to recruit Mei Changsu. If he took Mei Changsu there in such an upright manner, he would definitely attract the prince and Prince Yu, so he
Some hesitation.
However, he quickly figured out that everyone was already here and he couldn't let Mei Changsu go back, so he just hesitated for a moment, and then the group headed to the location belonging to the Ningguo Hou Mansion.
When they arrived at Ning Guohou's residence, the servants had already prepared a small table and mats. Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were all kneeling on the mats in a polite manner, but Zhou Chen sat cross-legged directly.
Fei Liu followed suit and sat cross-legged next to Mei Changsu.
Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass with a smile and said to Fei Liu, "Come on, Fei Liu, let's have a drink."
Fei Liu glanced at Mei Changsu. After getting Mei Changsu's acquiescence, he happily picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Chen.
The competition on the platform below is going on fiercely. The two people on the ring are both relatively mediocre types. It looks like they are fighting in full swing, but in fact they are just noobs pecking each other.
After all, today is only the first day of the preliminary examination. The people participating in the competition are mixed, there are many experts, but there are more people fishing in troubled waters.
If it's fast, a few or two moves can resolve the battle. If it's slow, dozens of moves are still hanging around, which makes people irritated.
The people sitting in the brocade shed were okay, there were people waiting on them, they had snacks and drinks, and they were reliable, especially those who could only stand and look out, because everyone was seriously sunburned.
There is a brocade shed around the ring that is obviously higher than the other noble brocade sheds. This is the place reserved exclusively for the royal family. Emperor Liang used to accept the kneeling worship of officials and people here. Now Emperor Liang has left, but this place is still there.
Someone took a seat.
There were two people sitting down, both wearing luxurious dark red python robes. The one in the middle was the current Prince of Liang, Xiao Jingxuan, and the one on the left of Xiao Jingxuan was the Prince of Qizhu, Yu Wang Xiao Jinghuan. The two looked very similar, both were in their thirties.
Among them, the Honored King Xiao Jinghuan is slightly younger.
When Zhou Chen and the others sat down at the brocade shed of Ning Guo Hou Mansion, Prince Xiao Jingxuan was the first to lose his composure and kept looking there.
Although Prince Xiao Jinghuan also discovered the situation there, he was more stable than the prince. He just glanced at Xiao Jingxuan who was sitting uneasily, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, as if he was mocking Xiao Jingxuan for being unable to calm down.
As if angry.
Zhou Chen's eyes swept around, and then fell on Fei Liu next to him.
"Fei Liu, you're bored, do you want to go down and have some fun?"
Fei Liu bit his snack and shook his head like a rattle.
"It's not fun, they are so bad."
Mei Changsu whispered: "Fei Liu, don't talk nonsense."
Fei Liu said firmly: "That's right."
As soon as he said these words, he saw a man with a meteor hammer on the ring, swinging the meteor hammer and knocking himself unconscious.
Although there will be many accidents in the arena, this kind of accident happened for the first time in a whole morning, causing an uproar in the entire Yingfeng Tower.
Fei Liu proudly faced Mei Changsu, as if to say, "You see, I'm not talking nonsense."
Mei Changsu had nothing to say now. What else could he say now that he was like this?
Yan Yujin laughed out loud: "Fei Liu is right, it's really terrible, haha..."
To say who was the most angry and frustrated, it must be Mu Qing in the brocade shed above. When he saw this situation, he jumped up and cursed.
Mei Changsu was attracted by Mu Qing who was diagonally above him. He pretended not to recognize him and asked, "Who is that?"
Yan Yujin said with a smile: "He, he is the young prince of Mu Mansion in Yunnan who just inherited the throne. Mu Qing, sister Nihuang is probably most worried about this contest to recruit a bride, not the princess, but the young prince.
Your Majesty."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chen uncontrollably, while Zhou Chen lowered his head and shared some snacks with Fei Liu, as if he was not affected.
This confused him. Looking at Sister Nihuang's posture, it was obvious that she had an unusual relationship with this Gongziyu, but why did Sister Nihuang start to choose a son-in-law?
can not tell?
Mei Changsu had a complicated look on his face and said quietly: "The Mu family siblings have a deep relationship, and that's how it should be."
Hearing what Mei Changsu said, Zhou Chen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything and still happily shared snacks with Fei Liu.
Mu Qing cursed angrily. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He was dissatisfied with all the people participating in the competition. In today's world, who could make him willingly call him brother-in-law? There is one person, although this person also has shortcomings.
It's heavy, but if you choose a general among short people, at least he is much better than these crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
Just thinking about that man made him angry and itchy. This guy hasn't appeared until now. Does he really not have a sister in his heart?
At this time, General Changsun, who was standing next to him, suddenly approached and whispered: "Your Majesty, look over there."
"What?"
Mu Qing didn't react, but when he saw the direction of General Changsun's finger, he couldn't help but look over.
Upon seeing this, he immediately slapped the table and stood up, speaking out.
"This guy finally showed up."
He was looking at the location of Ning Guohou's Mansion, and naturally he saw Zhou Chen sitting there. Even though he was separated by a distance, he still recognized him at a glance.
Seeing Mu Qing rushing over, Xima Wei Jing'an immediately reminded him: "Your Majesty, over there is the shed of Ning Guohou Mansion."
Mu Qing ignored him: "I don't care which family he belongs to. Since he shows up, I have to teach him a lesson."
With that said, he took the lead and walked towards there. Seeing that they could not stop him, Wei Jing'an and General Changsun quickly followed him.
Mu Qing was making a lot of noise here, which attracted many people around him to look over. The prince on the other side, who was about to take action, also stopped raising his legs and looked curiously in the direction of Mu Qing.
Zhou Chen also saw Mu Qing's actions, but he did not leave. Anyway, he was ready to confess to Mei Changsu, and he was not afraid of Mu Qing telling him.
After a while, Mu Qing arrived in front of him. Seeing Mu Qing appear here, Xiao Jingrui and the other three felt strange, but they all stood up and said hello.
"Little prince!"
But Mu Qing ignored them and shouted to Zhou Chen: "Brother Yu, you are finally here. I thought you really didn't care about my sister. Have you signed up? When will you come on stage? Today, these crooks are the only ones."
Split Zao, I'm far behind you, and you're not worthy of my sister at all."
As soon as these words came out, except for Yan Yujin who knew it in advance, Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu both showed shocked expressions.
Mei Changsu was even more shocked. There was only one thought left in his mind, Zhou Chen and Nihuang?
Zhou Chen felt helpless when he saw Mei Changsu's behavior, so he could only explain: "Little prince, you really misunderstood. The princess and I are just good friends, and I didn't sign up for the son-in-law selection meeting."
When Mu Qing heard this, he immediately became angry: "Brother Yu, you used to call me by my name directly, why are you calling me little prince now?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but shudder. Mu Qing's tone suddenly reminded him of a classic movie.
'You used to call me Xiao Tiantian, but now you call me Mrs. Niu...'
"That's different. The young prince didn't inherit the throne before. Now that he has inherited the throne, naturally he can no longer be like before."
Mu Qing: "Then you should also call me Prince. You insist on adding a shorter one. What do you mean?"
Zhou Chen's expression was helpless. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin seemed to have been called little princes just now. Why didn't you get angry with them instead of just talking nonsense with me?
"Why are I telling you all this nonsense? Brother Yu, I know very well what happened between you and my sister, so don't pretend to be with me. After all, my sister is not much better than that brothel girl of yours? You say
You are also a well-known Gong Ziyu in the world. You have no choice but to find a girl from a brothel. Just play with a girl from a brothel. Don’t..."
"Prince Mu!"
Zhou Chen suddenly interrupted Mu Qing's ramblings, his face turned cold, and even his name changed.
"Let me say it again, your sister, Princess Nihuang, and I are just good friends, nothing more. As for what kind of woman I like, it has nothing to do with Prince Mu. To you, she is just a brothel girl, but to me, she is
Just the best.”
Mu Qing said angrily: "Chen Yu, you actually yelled at me like this for a brothel girl, regardless of my sister, are you worthy of us? I respect you as an elder brother, and you took me there in the first place.
I live in a brothel, and now you are treating me like this..."
"Ahem..."
Wei Jing'an couldn't bear it any longer, fearing that Mu Qing would say something more embarrassing again, so she quickly interrupted with a cough, and went up to hold him back.
"Your Majesty, there are some things you cannot say here. If the princess finds out, she will definitely punish you."
Mu Qing's face froze with anger, and he turned around and yelled: "Do you want to remind me?"
Then, he glared at Zhou Chen bitterly: "Huh, Chen Yu, you disappoint me so much. You are not worthy of my sister at all. Don't expect me to call you Brother Yu again in the future."
After venting his anger, he left angrily, as if he had been greatly wronged.
This makes Zhou Chen not sure whether he should be angry or not. He is just a guy who can't keep his mouth shut. What else can you argue with him about?
General Changsun hurriedly followed Mu Qing and left, but Wei Jing'an saluted Zhou Chen with a wry smile.
"Mr. Chen, the prince has this temper. He is also worried about the princess. Don't blame him. He actually respects you very much. In the past two years, he has mentioned you in front of us and said that he would play with you.
I am happiest when I am.”
What else could Zhou Chen say, he could only reply: "Master Xima, I understand what you mean, and I won't take it to heart."
Wei Jing'an didn't stop either, and left after finishing speaking.
As soon as Mu Qing and others left, Zhou Chen felt a few eyes staring at him. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were okay, but Mei Changsu's eyes made him feel uneasy.
Xiao Jingrui was the most innocent. He curiously asked Zhou Chen: "Brother Yu, are you familiar with Princess Nihuang and Little Prince Mu?"
Zhou Chen smiled awkwardly: "We know each other. Two years ago, when I passed through the southern border, I happened to encounter the invasion of Nanchu. I thought that I was also from Daliang, so I went to help Princess Nihuang, so
I have met Princess Nihuang and Prince Mu, but we are just acquaintances, not as Prince Mu just said."
He not only explained how they met the Mu sisters, but also explained the situation to Mei Changsu in private. It was you who asked me to go there in the first place, and nothing happened between Mu Nihuang and I. The person I like is Gong Yu.
He believed that Mei Changsu would understand what he meant.
Of course Mei Changsu could understand what he meant. In fact, he was a little uncomfortable just now, but looking back now, it seems that this incident was indeed caused by him.
Moreover, he has known Zhou Chen for so many years, and he still understands Zhou Chen's character very well. He knows that although Zhou Chen is a bit unruly, he would not do such a thing behind his back.
But at this moment, he also understood why Zhou Chen had not returned to Langzhou for two years since the southern border, and he must have felt guilty.
"I see."
Xiao Jingrui was the most innocent person, and it cannot be said that he was innocent. It was more because he believed in Zhou Chen's character. As for the matter of the brothel girl, he was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
A few people were about to sit down again when suddenly another group of people came over, and it turned out to be the Crown Prince and Prince Yu who were sitting above them.
When they saw the prince and Prince Yu arriving, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin immediately saluted. Mei Changsu also saluted in the same way, but Zhou Chen and Fei Liu just stood there without saluting.
The prince and Prince Yu's attention was all on Mei Changsu, and they paid no attention to Zhou Chen and Fei Liu behind them.
After saluting, the Crown Prince and Prince Yu first asked what happened to Mu Qing just now and whether he was looking for trouble. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin simply dealt with it.
The prince and Prince Yu didn't take it to heart, and then they praised Mei Changsu for a while, as if they were getting more excited. Then they sat down separately and started talking.
Zhou Chen was quite moved when he heard the prince and Prince Yu's various attempts to please Mei Changsu.
This is the ancient times. As long as your reputation is famous enough, as long as you know how to package things and do great things, you will easily attract others to rob you.
In fact, with the power of the Crown Prince and King Yu, it is difficult for one counselor to play a decisive role. It’s just that the two of them are fighting too fiercely now and want to put each other to death. They happened to hear about Jiangzuo Meilang, a talented Qilin scholar.
He also learned that the sixth prince of Beiyan ascended to the position of prince because he was assisted by Mei Changsu.
Therefore, they believed that Mei Changsu was extremely talented, and as long as they could recruit Mei Changsu, they would be able to outdo their opponent.
When the forces between the two sides are in balance, a counselor with worldly skills will play an extraordinary role.
That's why, otherwise, given their status, how could they please Mei Changsu so much?
The Crown Prince and Prince Yu also took out gifts and wanted to give them to Mei Changsu first.
It's just that the prince is indeed much worse than King Yu in terms of strategy and sharp words. He was ridiculed by King Yu within a few words and his face was tarnished.
Just when the prince was angry and scolded the king angrily, a gentle-faced eunuch bowed his head carefully and fearfully to report.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince had just been tricked by King Yu and was in a bad mood. When the eunuch interrupted, he was very dissatisfied and said: "What's the matter?"
The young eunuch looked nervous and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager has a purpose to invite these young gentlemen to see her."
"Grandma?"
The prince was immediately shocked, and Prince Yu was also very surprised. They all knew that today Princess Nihuang's son-in-law selection meeting started. Not only their father came, but also the Queen Mother and the Queen's concubines came.
Inside the palace of Yingfeng Tower.
It was just that the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned Xiao Jingrui and others, which still surprised them.
King Yu asked: "Including Mr. Su?"
The young eunuch replied: "The Empress Dowager's will is for Mr. Xiao and everyone here."
Although the Crown Prince and Prince Yu were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to violate the Queen Mother's orders, so they could only let Mei Changsu leave with the young eunuch.
Zhou Chen was also a little confused, why did he include him?
But thinking about the old lady who lived the longest in this plot and was the first to recognize Mei Changsu, he still respected her very much.
What's more, the Empress Dowager is also the biological grandmother of his mother, Princess Pingyang, and can also be said to be his great-grandmother.
Under the leadership of the young eunuch, the group quickly arrived at the entrance of a palace behind Yingfeng Tower. The young eunuch asked them to wait first, and then went in to report.
Zhou Chen clearly felt that Mei Changsu's body next to him was trembling slightly and his face was nervous, so he touched Mei Changsu with his elbow.
Mei Changsu received Zhou Chen's reminder and immediately took a breath to force himself to calm down, then turned to give Fei Liu instructions.
"We are going to see an old lady later. If she calls you, you agree. She holds your hand and doesn't hide. If she gives you a snack, just take it. She is the kindest old lady in the world. You have to be good.
Listen to her."
Although Fei Liu didn't understand it at all, he still nodded vigorously. Anyway, he would do whatever Brother Su asked him to do.
After a while, the little eunuch came out and let them in. Xiao Jingrui took the lead and walked in. Yan Yujin was very understanding of people and stuffed money into the little eunuch's hand.
Zhou Chen saw all this scene in his eyes, Xiao Jingrui was a mellow gentleman and would not think of such things, while Yan Yujin understood the world better and was more thoughtful in doing things.
This also shows that the two have different experiences and education since childhood.
Xiao Jingrui has been extremely favored since he was a child. He is pampered by his two fathers, two mothers, and a bunch of elders. He never thinks about these trivial matters;
Generally speaking, Yujin has been a free-ranging person since she was a child, without any guidance from her father, so she has learned more about the ways of the world and how to survive since she was a child.
Zhou Chen walked behind. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a lot of people gathering. Without exception, they were all women of high status.
But when he saw the person standing at the edge, his face changed slightly, and he was surprised. Why was his mother here too?
According to the Jiangzuo League's investigation, although his mother, Princess Pingyang, did not lose her life because of the Chiyan case, she was still implicated. She was not allowed to leave the princess's mansion unless ordered to do so. She only had the opportunity to visit the princess during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival every year.
The Queen Mother.
Now that she appears here, it must be the order of the Empress Dowager.
Thinking that the Empress Dowager recognized Mei Changsu at a glance in the plot, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel nervous. If the Empress Dowager recognized Mei Changsu, could she also recognize him? After all, he often used it when he was a child.
I went to the palace with my mother to see her, and because she was not in good health as a child, she was taken care of by the Empress Dowager.
If his mother was not here, he would not be nervous, but he knew how powerful a mother was. She might not recognize him, but if the Empress Dowager said something, there was no guarantee that she would not be suspicious.
When he thought of this, he regretted it endlessly. If he had known that he would not listen to Mei Changsu and insisted on letting him come, something would happen.
But Mei Changsu didn't think so much. At this time, all his eyes had fallen on the old lady sitting alone in the palace.
Mu Nihuang originally just glanced at the few people walking in casually, but when she saw Zhou Chen walking at the back, her expression changed instantly.
She looked at Zhou Chen without blinking, never expecting that Zhou Chen, whom she had been looking for for two years without finding, would actually appear here.
Zhou Chen also felt Mu Nihuang's gaze, but he pretended not to notice it and looked straight ahead, then knelt down with Xiao Jingrui and the others.
"See the Queen Mother! Long live the Queen Mother!"
He was absolutely unwilling to be asked to kneel to Emperor Liang, but he was still willing to be asked to kneel to the Empress Dowager who was very good to him when he was a child.
Except for Zhou Chen and Fei Liu, no one spoke directly, but Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Mei Changsu all said the same thing in unison.
Mu Nihuang was still looking at Zhou Chen. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have rushed over to question him.
Thinking of what Gong Yu said to her last night, she didn't believe it at all now. How could it be possible that Zhou Chen didn't know where Zhou Chen was last night and Zhou Chen appeared here today?
The Empress Dowager laughed cheerfully, holding up her hands with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay, everyone, get up, get up."
The Empress Dowager has white hair and an old face, but as the most noble woman in the world, although she is about ninety years old, she still looks quite energetic.
It's just that her eyesight may not be very good. Although Zhou Chen and the others were already close, she still narrowed her eyes, looked carefully, and asked in a daze.
"Whose children are these?"
Yan Yujin was the most out-of-the-box, feigning dissatisfaction and acting coquettishly: "Grandma, I just came over to greet you two days ago. I'm so good-looking, but you don't remember me?"
The Empress Dowager looked confused and blinked, as if thinking.
"Were you here two days ago?"
But confused, she quickly looked at Xiao Jingrui again: "What about you? Whose family do you belong to?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jingrui stepped forward and shouted closer, "Grandma."
The Queen Mother was still confused and didn't recognize it. In the end, Princess Liyang next to her explained it. Then the Queen Mother remembered it and asked a few questions with a smile.
Then Yan Yujin ran forward again, and Queen Yan explained again, and then the Queen Mother remembered.
Then, she looked at Mei Changsu again and asked.
Mei Changsu tried his best to control his emotions and announced his name, but the Empress Dowager's words of "little special" almost shocked him out of his wits.
But then the Queen Mother expressed concern that he had lost weight, and gave him his favorite snack, which almost made him lose control of his emotions and burst into tears on the spot.
Mu Nihuang kept staring at Zhou Chen. It was not until the Empress Dowager called her that she realized and stepped forward.
But when the Empress Dowager asked when she and Mei Changsu were getting married, and wanted to put their hands together, Mu Nihuang reflexively wanted to retract her hand, while Mei Changsu originally wanted to grab Mu Nihuang.
With his hand, he could feel Mu Nihuang's struggle. He paused and finally let go.
Everyone present was amused by the Empress Dowager, which made the Empress Dowager even more confused.
Zhou Chen knew that the Queen Mother was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and at the same time, he silently prayed in his heart that it would end soon, it would end soon.
Unfortunately, his thoughts were ineffective. The Queen Mother forgot about her confusion just now and turned her eyes to Zhou Chen who was leaning back.
"What about you? Whose child are you from?"
The women present were all confused. They knew Mei Changsu because they each had their own purposes, but they didn't recognize Zhou Chen, a stranger who suddenly appeared.
Xiao Jingrui took the initiative to introduce: "Grandma, this is my good friend, the famous 'Gong Ziyu' in the world. I invited you to come together today."
Upon hearing Xiao Jingrui's introduction, the women present didn't pay attention. For people like them who were in high positions, the world was too far away to be on the stage.
Zhou Chen lamented, but he still couldn't hide, so he could only step forward.
"Seeing the Empress Dowager, I am a member of the Jianghu community. My name is Chen Yu. It is really an honor for the common people to meet the Empress Dowager today."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled: "It's Xiaochen, come on, come to Grandma's house."
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when Zhou Chen heard the title of the Empress Dowager, he still shouted that he had made a mistake.
Not only him, but also Mei Changsu, who was in a low mood and was kneeling on the ground, realized that something was wrong. He quickly stood up and stepped back, his eyes quickly glanced at Princess Pingyang behind him on the left.
At this sight, he felt a chill in his heart. He saw Princess Pingyang, who had been silent and as if she didn't exist, opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhou Chen who walked to kneel down in front of the Empress Dowager.
Princess Pingyang was indeed shocked by the Queen Mother's word "Xiao Chen", because this was a title that belonged exclusively to her son.
Zhou Chen was now riding a tiger and could not get off, so he could only let the Empress Dowager grab his hands.
"Xiao Chen, it seems that you haven't visited your grandma for a long time. Are you sick again? If you are sick, tell your grandma and she will ask the doctor to cure you."
While Zhou Chen was moved, he also thought that it would be okay if he just said "Xiao Chen". After all, his surname is Chen now, but after saying this, it would be strange for his mother not to doubt him.
As expected, Princess Pingyang's expression suddenly changed again. She almost couldn't control her emotions, but suddenly she held it back. Then she looked away at Zhou Chen, lowered her head, and said nothing, as if nothing had happened just now.
Did not happen.
Concubine Yue next to her laughed and said: "The Empress Dowager was confused again. This was the first time she met her and she asked her if she was sick."
Empress Yan spoke up at the right time to interrupt the 'acknowledgment of relatives', saying that the Empress Dowager was tired, and then Xiao Jingrui and others left in a sensible manner.
When Zhou Chen left, he clearly felt two eyes looking at him. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't escape today.
Sure enough, as soon as they left Nuange and had not taken a few steps, Mu Nihuang suddenly chased after them.
"Chen Yu!"
Zhou Chen's body stiffened, and several people traveling with him also stopped. Mei Changsu even glanced at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen had no choice but to turn his head and face Mu Nihuang.
"I wonder if the princess has called me, what are your orders?"
Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen unblinkingly. Although he was not angry, he still had an aura of calmness and authority.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin looked at each other and said very wisely: "Princess (Sister Nihuang), let's go down first."
After saying that, they left without hesitation. Mei Changsu looked at Mu Nihuang and Zhou Chen with complicated eyes, and then left with Fei Liu.
After they left, Mu Nihuang asked in a deep voice: "You don't even have the guts to go for a walk with me, do you?"
Zhou Chen had no choice but to agree: "The princess invites you, how dare you refuse to do so."
Mu Nihuang was then satisfied and took the lead. Zhou Chen could only follow behind her.
At this moment, the door of Nuange was opened again, and Princess Pingyan came out. She saw Zhou Chen who had followed Mu Nihuang away, her eyes were strange, she sighed softly, and left slowly.
The two of them walked to an uninhabited land, and Mu Nihuang said: "When did you come to the capital? Yesterday I went to Miaoyinfang and met the girl Gong Yu you mentioned, although I have a strong liking for that kind of place.
No, but to be honest, that girl Gong Yu is different from other brothel girls, she is a very smart woman."
"It is an honor for Gong Yu to be praised by the princess. Thank you very much."
"I praised her, what are you grateful for?"
"Gong Yu is my woman. Although we are not married yet, she will be my future wife. The princess praises her, so I naturally want to thank her on her behalf."
Mu Nihuang's face suddenly changed, and she asked in shock: "You said you wanted to marry her? Chen Yu, are you crazy? No matter how good she is, she is just a girl from a brothel."
Zhou Chen said calmly: "So what about the brothel girl? I am just a prodigal son. What's more, in my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low people. You should have known this when we were in the southern border."
Mu Nihuang snorted coldly: "There is no distinction between high and low. It sounds nice, and I won't refute your point of view, but do you think this is possible? Is it realistic?"
"It's really unrealistic, so I don't need others to agree with me, I just need to follow my own ideas."
Of course Zhou Chen knew that, let alone this kind of ancient feudal society, even in the future twenty-first century, there would still be differences between people.
But honestly speaking, he does not look down on brothel girls like others. Although some brothel girls have poor moral character, his travels over the years have made it clear that the vast majority of brothel girls are forced to do nothing and deserve sympathy.
.
Gong Yu treated him wholeheartedly and was very kind to him, although he really did not object to marrying Gong Yu at all.
Mu Nihuang said: "You are still as stubborn as you were two years ago. You said these words to me on purpose, right? Do you really think that I will pester you, or even be jealous of a brothel girl for you?"
"
"What are you talking about, Princess? I have never thought about it that way."
"real?"
"real!"
"snort!"
Mu Nihuang snorted coldly and said with great dissatisfaction: "Since you have come to Jinling, just wait, maybe in this son-in-law selection meeting, a young talent who is better than you in every aspect will really emerge.
"
Thinking of the outcome of the son-in-law selection meeting in the original plot, Zhou Chen unconsciously smiled: "Then I will congratulate the princess when the time comes."
Mu Nihuang became even more angry when she saw Zhou Chen's smile.
"Go away quickly, I have nothing to say to you."
Zhou Chen didn't waste any time and immediately prepared to retreat, but just after taking two steps, he remembered something again.
"Princess, there is one more thing."
"Say it quickly." Mu Nihuang shouted dissatisfied.
Zhou Chen didn't care and continued: "I just met Prince Mu when I was watching the competition in the ring. He also saw me and had a little conflict with me. Princess Mu, you also know his temper.
, I am just a person in the world, but I cannot resist the revenge of Mr. Mu."
Mu Nihuang understood Zhou Chen's meaning and snorted coldly: "We in Prince Mu's Mansion are not so angry. I will go to Mu Qing to talk to him."
"Then thank you very much, Princess."
After saying this, Zhou Chen immediately handed over and left, walking faster and faster, and soon disappeared from Mu Nihuang's sight.
