Raiders of the demon concubine who crossed

Che Zhen was easy to be found, and it was inconvenient to clean up, so he failed in the end, but under Ru Tie's insistence, he used other methods to get close several times, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

Woke up early in the morning, Ru Tie completely forgot to go back to the room early, and recited the poem "A young man fencing swords and blowing the flute" loudly. Cheng Yuan didn't have the nerve to scold him, after all, he was the one who couldn't stand the temptation and went crazy with him last night.

Like silver like copper is standing in front of the house waiting for them.

"Xiao Tie, where did you go last night?"

When Ruyin wakes up, she hears Rutong say that Rutie is gone, she feels very nervous, but Rutong's face is always half-smiling, causing Rutie to think that she is revealing her secrets.

Ru Tie calmly said: "It's cold at night, I'm afraid my guard will be frozen, so I'll send him a quilt."

"Oh." Rutong didn't buy it, and said bitterly, "What quilt, as for giving it away overnight?"

Ru Tie: "..."

After coming and going again and again, Ru Yin also heard that Ru Tong was targeting Ru Tie, and Ru Tie did not return all night, and it seemed that he still had something to do with that guard.

Ru Yin instinctively sensed something was wrong, could it be that Ru Tong suspected that Ru Tie had an affair with that guard?

It's about his younger brother Qingyu, it's not a joke, Ruyin quickly smoothed things over and said, "You don't need to say too much, Xiaotong, Xiaotie is also a friend who cares about him."

How could Ru Tong listen to his second elder brother's persuasion, he thought he had grasped Ru Tie's handle, and he was extremely happy in his heart, instead he smiled kindly at Ru Tie: "I didn't expect you to look stupid, but you are quite courageous, and you even have a concubine." , you should also be careful, don't treat everyone as a fool."

Ru Tie: "..."

Are you a fool?

Ru Tie rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Third brother, you misunderstood, he is really not my concubine..."

Ru Tong said to himself: "In front of me, do you still want to lie? Is it because I am afraid that I will gossip and spoil your good deeds, or is it because Prince Rui finds out that he will not tolerate you?"

Alas, Ru Tie really didn't understand how Ru Copper could not listen to people's words, so he was absorbed in his own thoughts, so he could only say: "I said no, if you insist on thinking this way, I will do nothing. "

Rutong was even more proud: "Look, you really admitted it."

Ru Tie: "..."

Sigh, anyway, he and Prince Rui can barely be regarded as concubines.

Satisfied, Rutong left without waiting.Ru Tiefu slandered why this guy insisted on keeping him for one night, was it just to get hold of him and Mu Chengyuan?

Recalling, Rutong had inquired about the situation of "that guard" several times, but he turned them all away. If Rutong found out that his concubine was Prince Rui himself, wouldn't she be so mad?

Ru Tie was a little funny, and the inexplicable person left, he was also relieved, and became more playful, so he went to see Ruo Yu with affection and arm in arm.

His generosity directly frightened Ruyin.Ru Tie was planning to go to Qingchan Temple for a while, but before leaving, Ru Yin advised him awkwardly: "Xiao Tie, since you said that His Highness Prince Rui treated you very well, then don't do anything wrong to him, and leave later." It's not too late to think about it after you've got the mansion. Do you understand what the second brother means?"

Ru Tie almost died of laughter in his heart, and said seriously: "Second brother, I understand. But I don't think I can wait until that day."

"what?"

Ruyin suddenly became nervous.

Ru Tie approached him with a smile and whispered a few words in his ear.Ru Yin couldn't recover for a long time, seeing Ru Tie's "concubine" - the "personal bodyguard" came over, and glanced at him suddenly, Ru Yin's hands and feet went limp, and she almost knelt down on the spot.

Oh god, this person is actually Prince Rui? ?

Mu Chengyuan felt that Ruyin in Yan's family was good, so he said in front of him: "You are Xiaotie's second elder brother, so there is no need to be like this. It is not appropriate for the king to reveal his identity during this trip, so I will visit you next time."

Ruyin: "..."

The miserable Ruyin almost passed out.

Qingchan Temple is not far from Yan's house. It is a rural temple, small in scale and very quiet.According to what Ruyin said, Rutie found the place where Xu Linghan's tablet was placed in the Buddhist hall. Ruyin really kept his word, and often came to offer incense to Mr. Xu, and there was an ever-burning lamp beside the tablet.

Ru Tie said to Mu Chengyuan: "Your Highness, this person is my friend, can I stay by myself for a while and pay homage to him?"

Mu Chengyuan also saw the name on the tablet, nodded silently, and strode outside the Buddhist hall to wait.

Ru Tie took out a small jade lotus from his sleeve and placed it in front of the tablet.This is what he picked out from the lotus bonsai that Xu Linghan gave him back then.When he returned home this time, he wanted to come and visit him. He didn't know what to bring to Xu Linghan. After much deliberation, this was the only thing left between him and Mr. Xu.

Ru Tie silently looked at Mr. Xu's memorial tablet for a while, remembering the three months he had spent in Lan Yuan not long after he came to Dachu, and remembered the first time he heard about Mr. Xu, and the first time he met Mr. Xu.At that time, he still thought that Xu Linghan was an unpredictable little boss, who was separated forever in the blink of an eye.

Will Xu Linghan know that he was able to leave the mansion in the end because he was randomly given away as a gift by the crown prince, and what he tried to do, what Mr. Xu failed to do in his whole life, was so easily achieved.

Things are impermanent.He used to always complain that he didn't have golden fingers, but compared to Xu Linghan who had a miserable life, he is much better, and he can still love and stay with others. Never meet the prince again.

If given the opportunity in the future, he would still choose to speak up for Mr. Xu.

Ru Tie didn't stay for too long, there wasn't much to say between him and Xu Linghan, he came to take a look, as if he had a long-standing thought, Xu Linghan represented his past, when he walked out of the Buddhist hall, he saw Mu Cheng Yuan's tall and straight back.

Ru Tie smiled silently, this is the future he wants to go to.

Prince Rui was a man of action, and having made up his mind, he handed over a sign to the palace on a certain day, and entered the palace to visit his birth mother.Although the empress does not like the noble concubine's mother and child, she will not be offended by this, as soon as she received Prince Rui's sign, she sent people to Yikun Palace to inform the noble concubine.When Mu Chengyuan arrived, there was a lady leading a well-dressed young lady who happened to be saying goodbye to Concubine Jiao, seeing Prince Rui came, the mother and daughter blessed the body in a leisurely manner, and did not stay for a while .

"Mother and concubine." Mu Chengyuan bowed deeply without looking sideways.

"Yuan'er, you're here."

Concubine Jiao was very happy to see her son, she hurriedly turned away the attendants in the hall, and sat down together holding her son's hand.

"Did you see that lady just now? What do you think?"

Ever since Miss Gu's family disappeared, Prince Rui has always been indifferent to women. Now that he has received such iron, Concubine Jiao feels that she should also worry about her son's marriage. The huge Prince Rui's mansion can't do without a concubine.

Mu Chengyuan smiled: "Whose daughter does my concubine take a fancy to?"

Concubine Jiao said softly: "Of course it's the Gu family. I thought, since Qing Yi missed you, her younger sister Qing Ya can be regarded as compensation for you."

Gu Qingyi eloped with someone, the Queen Mother and the Gu family kept a tight lid on her, and neither Concubine Jiao Gui nor the emperor knew about it.Jiao had always thought that her son still hadn't forgotten his love for the deceased Miss Gu's family, and that even Miss Gu's name was not allowed to be mentioned. When she mentioned it this time, she also paid attention to Prince Rui's expression. Seeing that he was calm as usual, she thought The son seems to have really passed this hurdle.

The one who came to Yikun Palace just now was Gu Qingyi's direct younger sister, Gu Qingya, who was as young as Ji, and her appearance was somewhat similar to her sister's. Concubine Jiao felt that Mu Chengyuan would like it.

But Mu Chengyuan said: "Mother and concubine don't have to worry about it, the minister has no contact with the Gu family."

Concubine Jiao said angrily: "Yuan'er, why don't you have any relationship, isn't your imperial grandmother a member of the Gu family? After all, Qing Ya and Qing Yi are still your cousins."

She tried every means to get her son married to the Gu family, which can be described as well-intentioned.Both the empress dowager and the Gu family are partial to the crown prince. If Prince Rui can get married with the Gu family, it may change the mind of the empress dowager and the Gu family. After all, the crown princess is not from the Gu family. Marrying the daughter of the Gu family's concubine and ascending the throne in the future, the Gu family will have three queens. How respectable it must be.

Thinking back that she tried her best to promote the marriage between Mu Chengyuan and Gu Qingyi, she also had other plans.But at that time, she didn't know that her son was interested in the throne, and she was more thinking about how to take advantage of the empress dowager and the Gu family's power to keep her son.

Mu Chengyuan said: "Mother and concubine's painstaking efforts are understood, but mother and concubine have thought about whether the emperor's grandmother will allow it, and will the father and emperor agree?"

Even if the empress dowager and the emperor have no objection, will the empress let him easily tie him to the Gu family?

"As long as the Gu family has the queen mother and the emperor's brother, they will not stand up to the son-in-law. What's more, the son-in-law also wants a trustworthy princess."

The implication is that Prince Rui doesn't trust the Gu family either.

Concubine Jiao followed her son's words and thought about it carefully. Over the years, how had the Gu family ever shown kindness to Prince Rui before she intentionally summoned Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu, and let her speak a little bit, but Mrs. Gu didn't respond and sat for a while. About to resign, even seeing Prince Rui is not enthusiastic, it can be seen that the Gu family should have no intention of this marriage.

What Prince Rui said was not unreasonable, Concubine Jiao did not insist, but smiled and said: "According to what you said, you already have a candidate for Wangfei?"

This is a great thing!

Mu Chengyuan said: "This is why I came here. Mother concubine, I want to ask for Xiao Tie's seal."

"What did you say?" Concubine Jiao's face turned pale: "Xiao Tie? He, your son?"

She thought she must have misheard, but Prince Rui nodded firmly, Concubine Jiao was stunned for a moment, still unable to believe it: "Yuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about, isn't he a man? How can you please seal him? "

Mu Chengyuan said: "What about men? Great-grandfather also had a male concubine back then."

"But you are different!" Concubine Jiao said anxiously, "Your great-grandfather was the emperor, the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces, so what if you have a male concubine? But you...you don't have a concubine now, if, if you make him a concubine, Isn't it a joke, who will marry you as a wife in the future!"

"Mother and concubine are worrying too much." Mu Chengyuan smiled, "My son please confer on someone he likes, so naturally he is the concubine."

"You still want him to be your concubine!!"

Concubine Jiao Gui has never touched a finger of her son, but now she can't wait to slap her son. A few years ago, she almost became a monk with no desires and no desires. She finally recovered and wanted to make another man the concubine. What is going on? up?

No matter how angry she was, Concubine Jiao still persuaded softly: "It's his blessing that you like him, he is already serving by your side, you can pet him however you want, why do you have to be a concubine—Yuan'er, you Have you ever thought about it, if... if he really becomes your princess, how would you fight for that position, you wouldn't want to make him your queen, would you?"

Mu Chengyuan said: "I'll talk about the future. Although the father is dissatisfied with the emperor's brother, it has not yet reached the point where he wants to be easy to store. The son-in-law does have a son-in-law plan, but once the son-in-law makes a move, the father will Then you can know that the ministers have the heart to compete for the reserve, and it is difficult to have father-son affection for the ministers. No matter whether they win or lose, the ministers will be rejected by the father. Chengrun wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and Chengqin also has other plans. They They all hope that the son and the emperor will lose both sides in the fight. Mother and concubine, the son actually loses if he fights, and if he doesn't fight, he loses."

He mentioned that Mu Chengqin's mother Ye Guiren pressed nails into his mansion, and Mu Chengrun sent someone to disrupt the emperor's plan to wear clothes. Concubine Jiao Gui shuddered and said repeatedly: "Yuan'er, how could this be?"

Mu Chengyuan said: "Because my son's current status is equal to that of the emperor's elder brother, as long as the emperor's brother is passive, the son's minister will be the first to be criticized by everyone. If the son's minister has a strong wife and family, it will make the father even more uneasy. , let the emperor's brother feel uneasy... For the current plan, I need to take a step back.

Concubine Jiao said: "What you mean by retreating is to make Rutie the right concubine?"

"That's right." Mu Chengyuan said calmly, "Establishing him as a concubine means that the ministers will not get help from their wives and families, and they don't care about offspring. The emperor doesn't want the ministers to compete with the emperor's brother. In this way, he can be completely at ease with this minister, thinking that this minister has no intention of being emperor, so he can calmly and fairly look at everything that this minister has done, and on the contrary, this minister will be more confident."

Prince Rui's analysis is clear and thorough, and the emperor's attitude is also clear to Concubine Jiao. On the birthday of Prince Rui, the emperor came to Prince Rui's residence in person, and he still did not forget to warn Prince Rui's brother and brother Gong in front of her that his son only had one chance. Retreating is advancing, but does it have to be achieved by marrying a male concubine?

Not necessarily, but this is the most straightforward and unintentional way.

Concubine Jiao Gui sighed deeply, and said, "It's my palace who failed to live up to expectations and wronged my son..."

If she is a queen, why should she be wronged like this because her Yuan'er was born in the middle palace?

Mu Chengyuan smiled: "Why did the concubine mother say such a thing? Xiao Tie is clever and clever, and my son likes it very much, and I don't feel wronged at all."

"Okay." Concubine Jiao nodded wearily, "Who do you care about, that side concubine?"

The main concubine is a man who cannot bear children, and no matter how many children the side concubine has, they can only be bastards.However, there will be a long time to come, and the concubine he likes can still be promoted to become his son.

"Mother Concubine." Mu Chengyuan reminded her: "Since the minister has decided to take this step, the side concubine must not let go, otherwise the arrangements for the main concubine will not be in vain? The minister has her own opinion, so I ask the concubine mother not to worry .”

His words made sense, but Concubine Jiao heard the implication, and felt sore in her heart: "Yuan'er, why bother to fool me, what are you thinking? Is it possible that I don't know, and you want to just guard one person?"

Mu Chengyuan was seen through by her, so he was not in a hurry to defend, but knelt down and begged: "My heart is so, I beg mother and concubine to help me."

The corners of Concubine Jiao’s eyes were moist, thinking back in the past, she was the daughter of Jiao Chong, a teacher of the crown prince and a scholar, and she had already made an oath of love with Mu Ziyu, who was still the crown prince, but for the sake of the throne, Mu Ziyu finally abandoned her and married the Gu family’s concubine female.Later, although she also became the prince's side concubine, but between the emperor and the emperor, there is no going back to the years when there is only each other in their hearts.

The emperor has been affectionate to her all these years, so it is not considered a fault to her.She also knows that as an emperor, the throne should be more important than feelings.And her son has also reached the time to plan for the throne and his feelings.

"Yuan'er, if you really want to do this, you won't regret it?"

"Mother Concubine." Mu Chengyuan said warmly: "I have thought since I was very young that if there is someone I like in the future, I will definitely not let him be wronged by Mother Concubine. Didn't Mother Concubine also teach Erchen, Do you want to be single-minded to your wife? My son has made up his mind that he will never let him down in this life, both Jiangshan and him, son."

"Okay..." Concubine Jiao looked at her son's firm face through tears, "I won't let him down by saying this to you, and concubine mother will help you."
