Lord Prime Minister

Chapter 47

Mu Zihuai sat on the sedan chair sent by the queen, feeling uneasy.He feels that he is still low-key, and he has nothing else to ask for, but he and the people around him can live a safe life, and he doesn't know when he attracted the attention of the mother of a country.

Thinking of the prince's words before he left, be careful in everything, but only four words seemed very solemn, Mu Zi raised his heart high, and couldn't settle down as the sedan chair swayed from side to side.

The current queen and the emperor have two sons, the second prince, Huangfu Renhao, and the fifth prince, Prince Minqing.If it is out of mother-child relationship and wants to know about the prince's life in the past two years, why not summon Ren Danfeng who is with him.If... If you don't like the lord keeping male favorites in captivity, the one who came this trip should be the more outstanding Kong Qing, why is it me?

Puzzled, the sedan chair stopped.The shrill voice of the little eunuch resounded outside the sedan chair: "My lord, you have entered the palace after passing this gate. Please get off the sedan chair and go on foot."

In the imperial palace, only the royal family and concubines can ride in sedan chairs, and the others have to dismount from their horses and sedan chairs, fearing the Holy Majesty.

Mu Zihuai got off the sedan chair according to his words, and slightly cupped his fists at the little eunuch. "Also please show me the way."

The young eunuch, who was not too young, immediately laughed. "My lord, you are being polite. If you have anything to tell the villain, you don't have to be polite."

This son was the one whom the empress had appointed to meet, and he was picked up from the prince's mansion.Seeing how distressed the prince was just now, although he is a rabbit, no one can be sure about the affairs in the palace. Hedong in 30 years, Hexi in 30 years, maybe one day he will gain power.

The little eunuch who knew this well smiled modestly.Seeing Mu Zihuai cupping his hands again, he couldn't help but feel good about him, and led him towards Kunning Palace.

It's still early at this time, the more you go deep into the palace, the colder you feel.Water may have been sprinkled on the ground earlier, and the stone was a little wet. Mu Zihuai walked cautiously and followed the little eunuch for a long time.

The high palace walls blocked most of the sky, Mu Zihuai was not sure about the direction, so he had to pay more attention.

After walking through several palaces for a while, Kunning Palace appeared in front of my eyes.

One of the three most luxurious palaces in the imperial palace, Kunning Palace sits north to south, with 9 wide corridors and 3 deep corridors. The yellow glazed tiles are dazzling, and stone lions sit on the cornices at the two corners, solemn and majestic.A plaque with a blue background and a red border hangs in the middle of the palace, with the words "Kunning Palace" written on it.On the right side of the main entrance under the plaque stands a father-in-law with a whisk in his hand and a smile on his face.

The little eunuch stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Eunuch."

The father-in-law looked at Mu Zihuai first, and then said: "The empress has been awake for a while, and the empresses in other palaces have also finished their greetings. Now only the eldest prince is chatting with the empress."

The little eunuch quickly bent over again, knowing that his father-in-law was blaming him for being late. "It's the slave who was delayed on the road for some time, so it's late. I also ask my father-in-law to help inform me."

The father-in-law waved the whisk in his hand, turned and entered the room, came out after a while and said to Mu Zihuai, "Young master, come in." Then he called the little eunuch to attend to other matters.

Muzi cupped his fists, "Thank you, Eunuch."

Entering the threshold, you will face a four-fold yellow rosewood bas-relief screen, engraved with birds, exotic flowers and plants.There is a person sitting under the screen, combing a lingyun bun, paired with a golden silk double friend opera bead head flower, with a peach-pink face, graceful and noble.

Sitting on the lower right is a man, combed in a double-petaled square bun, wearing a purple robe with a black edge, and a blue double-ringed round jade pendant around his waist. He heard someone coming in, and he was looking at him from the side. Hei was raised, with the corners of his eyes raised, his fuller lips were tightly pressed together, and he was serious.

These two should be the Empress Empress and the Second Prince.

"See the empress. See the second prince." Lifting up his clothes and kneeling down, Mu Zihuai lowered his head and watched his heart.

He lowered his head and waited for a long time before he could say "Mr. Mu, please rise up." The voice was soft and gentle, as if he had the style of a mother who respects the world.

Mu Zihuai got up respectfully and stood up, feeling the gazes of the two turned around him a few times, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.The father-in-law who led him in stood beside the queen, keeping his eyes on his nose, minimizing his presence.

"I heard Miaotong mention Mr. Mu two years ago. I wanted to meet him for a long time. Things have been pushed left and right. I just met him now. It's also a matter of my heart." The queen sat in the upper seat and looked at Muzi. Said with a smile.

Mu Zihuai nodded secretly, it turned out to be the reason of the Seventh Princess, and he cupped his hands and said humbly: "It's a villain's honor to meet the empress today."

The queen nodded and looked at Mu Zihuai with satisfaction, but the second prince who was sitting next to him suddenly said, "Ah! Queen Mother, the son suddenly remembered that the homework that the emperor asked me to do was not finished, and I am afraid that I will go back later It's too late, and the minister will come to chat with the empress some other day to relieve fatigue. How about letting Mr. Mu accompany you today?"

As soon as she heard that it was a homework assigned by the emperor, the queen quickly agreed. "Then you go, don't be careless."

The second prince got up and saluted, then turned to Mu Zihuai and said, "I'm going to trouble Mr. Mu today."

Mu Zihuai hurriedly bent down and cupped his hands. "The villain is terrified."

"Mother, the minister there will leave first." With a slight smile, he strode out of Kunning Palace.

There were only Mu Zihuai, the queen and the father-in-law left in the hall, and Mu Zihuai became even more nervous, for fear that he might say or do something wrong.

"Mr. Mu, sit down now. I'm getting old, and I've been watching people for a long time, and the back of my neck feels uncomfortable."

Mu Zihuai wanted to evade, but when he heard what the empress said behind him, he immediately bowed his hands to thank him, and sat on the second chair on the lower seat on the left.

"The last time Lao Wu entered the palace, he also mentioned you to me, and he praised you a lot. Looking at it today, it's really extraordinary. No wonder Yunhua fell in love with you." The queen picked up the herbal tea on the table He took a sip and said without haste.

fall in love with me?

Mu Zihuai was taken aback for a moment, a little uncomfortable by the words of the empress, who was the mother of the world, and then thought of the reason why he entered the palace this time because of the prince.He quickly stood up and said in panic: "The villain dare not, the villain just has a little bit of talent, the prince likes to make trouble, that's why he left me in the mansion."

The queen put down the teacup, looked at Mu Zihuai and smiled. "Mr. Mu is humble. Yunhua is stubborn. When he got the title in the [-]th year, he ignored everyone's opposition and ran out of the palace. As a mother, I can't leave the palace, and I can't take care of everything. I still need Mr. Mu to take care of me in the future."

Mu Zihuai was shocked, and he knelt on the ground with a thump, bowed his hands, and panicked. "The prince is a man of ten thousand gold, how can I take care of him, the villain is terrified, and the empress is flattering the villain."

"I know this child Yunhua, and I have raised some male pets before, but they didn't last long, and they were kicked out of the mansion in a few days." As if recalling the past, the queen shook her head and sighed, then said again : "I heard that this disaster relief, Mr. Mu also went together."

Mu Zihuai was speechless, and wanted to tell the empress that besides him and Ren Danfeng were accompanying her, but in the end he could only nod his head.

The queen smiled and said: "That's it. It's been five years since I came and went. It seems that the fifth prince really has a special liking for Mr. Mu."

Mu Zihuai was powerless to refute, and just knelt on the ground, only feeling that there was a knife hidden in the queen's words.How can there be a mother like this in this world?Seeing that his own flesh and blood likes men, he still supports him, not to mention that the prince is the prince and the emperor's close relative.

"In the future, please ask Mr. Mu to take care of the prince for me, and pay attention to diet and daily life, so don't make him suffer."

Mu Zihuai didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to answer dryly. "...Yes, the villain obeys."

The queen smiled with satisfaction, and said again: "It's getting late, Eunuch Li, send Mr. Mu back. You've been away from the prince for so long, so don't worry him."

Eunuch Li quickly responded, and walked down to lead Mu Zihuai to go out.

Mu Zihuai was confused, and felt that he was even more confused after entering the palace, but the queen and the others could only salute and retreat, followed Eunuch Li out of the gate of Kunning Palace, and he was relieved after a while. .

Eunuch Li called another eunuch to take Mu Zihuai out of the palace, then he turned around and went back to serve the queen.

Mu Zihuai followed the little eunuch for only a few steps before he was dragged to stand in the corner by him. The little eunuch beside him stood respectfully aside without looking sideways.

Looking away, a group of people came out a few feet away. The one walking in the front was a luxuriously dressed woman, wearing a big red printed double-breasted skirt, combing a high flying bun, decorated with red pearl flowers. , rosy complexion, bright red lips.

Followed by a man and a woman.The man also wears a square bun, gold hairpins and jade stones fixed, a milky white gown with gold inlaid jade and red tassels hanging on his waist, playing with a folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his lips.

The woman was a little younger, only twelve or thirteen years old, she wore her hair in a small bun, and a braid on the right side. She had a pointed oval face, delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. At such a young age, she could see that she would definitely be a girl in the future. a beauty.

Followed by seven or eight court ladies and eunuchs, a large group of people walked over mightily.

When the people walked away, the little eunuch dragged Mu Zihuai to continue walking.

Mu Zihuai couldn't help being curious, pulled the little eunuch and asked, "My lord, who are those nobles?"

The little eunuch glanced at Mu Zihuai, then looked left and right, and whispered: "The leader is Concubine Lan, who has always been favored, and the eldest prince and eighth princess are waiting behind her."

Mu Zihuai suddenly realized that she was a favorite concubine, no wonder she was more imposing than the empress who was the lord of the harem. Turning around and seeing a group of people entering the Kunning Palace, she couldn't help asking: "Are they going to the Kunning Palace?"

"No, it's almost time to come to pay your respects." The little eunuch seemed a little dissatisfied, after all, he was the queen's subordinate, and he was very protective of the lord.

Mu Zihuai nodded and stopped talking.

"Let's go quickly, the villain still has things to do." The little eunuch urged, led Mu Zihuai out of the palace gate, put him on the sedan chair, and went back.

Mu Zihuai sat on the sedan chair and shook for a while before returning to the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the prince sitting in the front hall, with Ren Danfeng standing beside him, as if he was waiting for him.
