Mu Jingrui didn't react at all, he just lowered his head to eat, his displeasure written on his face.
Shangguan Wan Ning was also angry.
She put down her chopsticks and said, "You still have the nerve to embarrass me? Don't forget, the period I mentioned was when you and Yin Yuqing were newly married."
Mu Jingrui was startled. Seeing Shangguan Wan Ning's angry expression, he wished he could slap himself.
Isn’t this his own fault? If you don’t open the pot, pick up the pot!
"How dare I look down on you? Aren't I thinking about other things?" Mu Jingrui hurriedly reassured, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it, okay?"
"snort!"
Shangguan Wan Ning became angrier as she thought about it, got up and walked out.
Mu Jingrui chased after her helplessly, pulled her sleeve and apologized repeatedly.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry..."
"Are you wrong?" Shangguan Wanning stopped, turned to look at Mu Jingrui, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Okay, tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"Look at what you said..." Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wan Ning into his arms, "As long as you are angry, no matter what the situation, it must be my fault."
Shangguan Wan Ning was amused by Mu Jingrui and hit him hard on the chest several times.
"somebody is coming."
Mu Jingrui heard the slight sound of footsteps and let go of Shangguan Wan Ning to protect her behind him.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that it was his personal bodyguard, Mu Jingrui relaxed, his smile faded, and he asked, "What's the matter?"
"My subordinates found out about the Deer Miracle Doctor in the town and came here to report it."
Shangguan Wan Ning suddenly felt a burst of joy. "Where is my master? How is he now?"
The guard frowned and shook his head.
"If I go back to the princess, my subordinates don't know the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Deer. However, someone in the town saw Divine Doctor Deer leaving with two tall men. Moreover, it was still late at night."
"Late at night? How could anyone see it?"
"The person who saw Divine Doctor Deer was a watchman. He said that one night about half a month ago, he saw Divine Doctor Deer and two burly men leaving on horseback. They looked very hurried. Because Divine Doctor Deer replaced the watchman
He had cured diseases, so he recognized the deer as a miracle doctor."
"He said that he said hello to the Divine Deer Doctor that day, but the Divine Deer Doctor rode past him and did not respond to him. His subordinates went to the town to inquire about the two people."
"The shopkeeper of a rice shop said that two people were inquiring about the way to Yaowang Valley half a month ago. According to his description, the appearance of the two people was similar to what the reporter said, and they should be the same group of people.
"
Shangguan Wan Ning fell into deep thought after hearing this.
When they went up the mountain, all the traps showed no trace of being touched. In other words, when the two people arrived at Yaowang Valley, they either knew the route in advance and avoided the traps; or Lu Xiangzi turned off the traps himself.
Who are they?
What did you say to Lu Xiangzi? Will Lu Xiangzi be willing to follow them?
"Ning'er, don't worry too much. At least now you know that your master is not in danger. He left on his own. Maybe a friend asked him to treat an emergency?"
Mu Jingrui's safety did not alleviate Shangguan Wan Ning's anxiety.
She has followed Lu Xiangzi for so long and is well aware of his eccentric nature.
She had never heard him say he had any friends.
"You continue to inquire about the two people who took away my master. No matter what, I feel uneasy after not seeing my master."
The guards took the order and left.
Mu Jingrui stayed with Shangguan Wan Ning in Yaowang Valley for another two days.
Shangguan Wan Ning felt that she could no longer wait for Lu Xiangzi, so she had no choice but to leave for Beijing. Before leaving, she left a letter to Lu Xiangzi.
The two of them had a smooth journey back to Beijing. As soon as they entered the capital, they found that the streets were filled with joy.
Mu Jingrui sent Shangguan Wanning back home, sat for a while in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and chatted with Guan Yue. Then he realized that all the beautiful ladies had entered the palace and were waiting to be screened by Xiao Yujue himself.
"Jing Rui, it seems that your marriage to Ning'er has to be postponed again."
Mu Jingrui's hand holding the cup stiffened, and his heart sank involuntarily. "Did I do something bad..."
Shangguan Yue looked at Mu Jingrui's nervous expression, smiled and waved his hand.
"No. In fact, things between you and Ning'er have been full of twists and turns. I hope you two get married as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. However, the emperor's draft is like a wedding. There have always been unwritten rules in the court. During this period, all ministers
No marriage is allowed in the family."
Mu Jingrui ignored this matter.
"Oh, that's all we have to do."
When Xiao Yujue selected a beautiful girl, originally according to the rules of the palace, an elder should be in charge to provide him with advice, which could be regarded as the importance the royal family paid to this.
However, the palace struggles in the past two years have caused all the senior women to no longer exist.
For this reason, Xiao Yujue specially invited Concubine Wu, the mother of Prince Ming Xiao Beiming, and Xiao Beiming escorted her mother to Beijing.
King Ming made great contributions when Xiao Yujue ascended the throne. In order to show his respect for his uncle, who was of similar age, Xiao Yujue specially arranged a residence for him in the palace.
On the day when the beautiful women were selected, there was a joyous scene in the palace. Hundreds of girls from all over the country were like flowers blooming in the imperial garden, competing for beauty and blooming, which was dazzling.
Xiao Yujue kept secretly looking at Mu Jingyan, the queen, out of the corner of his eye. He could feel her forced smile.
"Wu Pianpian, eighteen years old, the daughter of the Manjiang Prefect."
As soon as the eunuch in the chamber finished reciting, he saw a girl wearing a pink gauze dress and her black hair rolled up slowly walking forward.
She was different from those shy and timid show girls. Before Xiao Yujue could speak, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Yujue, with a smile as bright as spring on her face.
Xiao Yujue admitted that his eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty, she is the grand niece of the Ai family. Her father is just a small prefect, not as good as the ladies in the capital. I don't understand the rules and offended Long Yan. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After Mrs. Wu said that, she looked at Wu Pianpian and scolded in a low voice: "There are really no rules..."
"It's okay, Princess. She is quite smart and cute." Xiao Yujue rewarded Wu Pianpian with a jade pendant and kept her in his harem.
Xiao Yujue was not a lustful person, and he did not want Mu Jingyan to be too sad and ugly. Among hundreds of beautiful women, he only selected twelve, and all of them were with the purpose of consolidating the political power.
He believed that Mu Jingyan would understand his difficulties.
After the draft was over, Mu Jingyan returned to his dormitory in despair. Something seemed to be blocked in his heart, and he was so uncomfortable that he could not speak.
"Empress, Princess Anning would like to see you." Mammy came in to report.
Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
