Mu Rong sat down opposite Xu Rongrong, picked up the peach blossom wine and poured himself a cup.

"The third brother will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and the palace will surely be lively again." Mu Rong took a sip and said with a smile, "Now all the forces have begun to make their own plans."

The third prince Wu Tianxiao proposed the idea of ​​reopening border trade at the beginning of the new year. This move would not only benefit the trade between the Zhou Dynasty and the surrounding foreign countries, but also consolidate the relations between all parties, so he won the unanimous support of the courtiers.

His Majesty also agreed to let him handle the matter. In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and now it is time to return to Beijing.

Today... the situation between North Korea and China has almost undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a year ago.

A new landscape is about to open.

Mu Rong's emotion made some sense, but when he said it at this time, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but think: "What the Marquis means... Could it be that today's test by the Marquis has a result?"

Mu Rong nodded.

Under Xu Rongrong's probing eyes, he connected the story of how the prince invited him to Shaohua Nunnery and how Herme was in danger and took the opportunity to get together.

His tone was neither slow nor fast, and it sounded particularly pleasant against the hazy moonlight. Xu Rongrong was entranced for a moment, and unknowingly drank two more cups of peach blossom wine.

But after Mu Rong finished speaking, she understood immediately: "The master and servant of Lingxi County are plotting against the Marquis. Is there the Queen's help behind the scenes?"

Mu Rong nodded.

Xu Rongrong said in confusion: "But the Marquis is your Majesty's nephew, and he does not want to participate in the party struggle openly...Why does the Queen want to put such effort into you and send you and Princess Lingxi to live together?" She's not doing any good."

If it was said that it was because the Queen doted on Princess Lingxi... Xu Rongrong would never believe it.

A New Year's Eve family dinner made her realize that the queen was by no means as simple as she seemed.

Mu Rong smiled and said: "Behind Princess Lingxi is the King of Northern Xinjiang. If she marries a prince of the right age in the capital, it will not be a good thing for the queen."

Xu Rongrong understood instantly: "Master Hou is saying...the queen is afraid that she will get involved with the third prince?"

"Exactly." Mu Rong nodded, "otherwise I can't think of any other purpose for the Queen's move."

He continued: "Princess Lingxi came to the capital this time just to marry into the capital. As the princess, only the prince among the dignitaries in the capital can catch her eye, and the most suitable person among them is Third brother... once she brings it up, His Majesty will agree because of the face of the Northern King. For the Queen, this is something she can never allow."

Xu Rongrong held her chin and thought carefully: Indeed, among the princes now, the crown prince Wu Tianao and the second prince Wu Tianchi are no longer in power. The fourth prince has been in trouble because of Lin Jiaoyue's affair. His reputation has been ruined and he has lost his sacred heart.The fifth prince died young, and the sixth and following princes were still young. From a calculation, only the third prince Wu Tianxiao was the most suitable.

What's more, the third prince only has one female concubine in his harem, Mu Qianyin, and according to the regulations, he can also accommodate two concubines...

Although she is only a concubine, the third prince's future is boundless, and the princess of Lingxi has a high level of ambition.

The third prince has done a great job in reopening border trade this time. The emperor has already issued two consecutive decrees to praise him before he returns to the court. If he is allowed to win Princess Lingxi again, with the help of the Northern Xinjiang King, I am afraid that the crown prince will The seat will be decided early.

And this is what the queen does not want to see. Once the East Palace decides on the candidate, her son will never be able to rise again!

So she must cut off all possibilities between the third prince and Princess Lingxi.

And Mu Rong is an excellent candidate!

Although Mu Rong is not a prince, he is indeed a high-ranking military lord and the favorite of Princess Lingxi. The queen's push will not only satisfy Princess Lingxi's thoughts, but also prevent her from turning her attention to the third prince. .

Today's progress is the plan of Lingxi's master and servant, and it is also the Queen's smooth sailing.

First, he created an opportunity for Hermei to climb into bed and drive a wedge between Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong, and then let Lingxi take advantage of the opportunity.

In this way, she could leave a chance for her son when the third prince was at the height of his popularity.

However, this plot could not be hidden from Mu Rong, and it was revealed on the spot that Hermei had seduced King An, causing King An and his wife to turn against each other.

King An is the queen's counterpart.

No matter how much she wanted to use someone else's hand to plot against the third prince, she would never join forces with the master and servant who had harmed her son.

After Xu Rongrong heard what he said, she quickly figured it out. She sighed: "In the past, I was very envious of the friendship between the Queen and Your Majesty. I always felt that they were the best couple in the world, but I didn't expect that the more... The closer I get to her, the more I realize that my thinking is too simple. Now, the deposed crown prince has completely changed the queen's appearance. From now on, she will be in charge of the harem, and I am afraid that there will be endless means to target the third prince in the future."

What she was most worried about was actually Mu Qianyin.

After all, things in the back house are what the Queen is good at, but it is what Sister Mu is least good at.

Looking at her slightly worried face, Mu Rong couldn't figure it out. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub Xu Rongrong's forehead, but the next moment he seemed to think of something, and he turned his wrist and poured out another peach blossom for her. Nian: "Don't worry, the current Third Princess is a treasure of the royal family, and there is nothing we can do to her."

Xu Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes! Sister Mu has Shang Fang's sword in her belly!"

Mu Rong smiled and nodded.

When the third prince left the capital, in order to ensure Mu Qianyin's safety, he deliberately concealed the news that Mu Qianyin was pregnant. Now the fetus is four months old, and the fetal image has been firmly seated. Now it is time to It's time to announce.

With the excuse of pregnancy, the Queen would not even think of attacking Mu Qianyin before giving birth.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "In this way, no matter what the Queen wants to do, Sister Mu can shirk it on the grounds of pregnancy and avoid the Queen's current sharpness."

Seeing her tipsy cheeks and charming look, Mu Rong's throat rolled involuntarily: "Rong Rong is right."

The sliding of Adam's apple actually made the atmosphere between the two of them instantly ambiguous.

And Mu Rong's eyes were uncontrollably fixed on Xu Rongrong's bright red lips.

Xu Rongrong sensed a hint of danger. She leaned back subconsciously, and the cold stone chair back behind her restrained her, leaving her unable to retreat.

But Mu Rong's eyes in front of him were extremely intense.

Xu Rongrong's mouth felt dry for a while, and her cheeks were already red...

The next moment, the man in front of him left.

Seeing Mu Rong's black back disappear into the dark night, Xu Rongrong was a little stunned for a moment:

Didn't he want to kiss her?
