Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

The two quarreled on the bed for a long time before they got up to wash and change their clothes. As soon as they finished their breakfast in the room, Yunze knocked on the door and said, "Princess, King Sui sent someone to invite you and your son-in-law before lunch. Let me tell you about the state government."

"This palace knows."

"Prince Sui asked us to go because of what happened last night? Could it be that we still startled the snake?"

"Don't worry, I, the second emperor brother, is the most noble and suspicious. If I hadn't met Mei Ciyao last night, I would have found a chance to intervene to make him feel at ease."

Shen Dongxue didn't want to understand, "I wanted to ask last night, why did he feel at ease when we intervened?"

"If we don't intervene all the time, he will think that we are hiding our strength and bide our time, and wait to directly make the matter bigger before dealing with him; if we do it to him without pain, he will think that we can't help but expose our family background , can't be successful, can't threaten him." Wei Muqing explained patiently.

Shen Dongxue nodded, indicating that he understood, "So he thinks that we 'exposed' ourselves last night, and we are no longer threatening?"

"Correct."

"Actually, he's quite self-deceiving."

"You summed it up pretty well." Wei Muqing got up, rubbed Shen Dongxue's head, walked to the bed by the window and sat down, "Do you want to listen to the 'Secret History of the Royal Family'?"

Shen Dongxue got up and followed Wei Muqing to sit opposite Wei Muqing, with deep curiosity in her eyes, "I want to hear it!"

Wei Muqing pushed the small plate of walnuts on the table in front of him towards Shen Dongxue, and Shen Dongxue immediately understood and began to smash walnuts for Wei Muqing.Wei Muqing added some tea for himself, and began to tell Shen Dongxue the intricate relationship and stories of the royal family.

"So King Sui has a heart of disobedience?" Sitting on the carriage going to the state office, Shen Dongxue couldn't help asking.

Wei Muqing nodded, "Everyone knows, it's just a tacit understanding. However, Father only saw the 'chess pieces' in Wei Musui's hands, but he couldn't see Wei Musui, the person in charge of the chess."

"The princess wants to take this opportunity to let the emperor see his true face?"

"The son-in-law is worthy of being the detective of Jinke. He is really smart." Wei Muqing laughed, "But I don't expect to overthrow him this time. After all, all these years, he has shown his father that he is a dedicated assistant. The image of a prince, a 'good lord', a 'good prince' who takes care of his father. It's just a reminder to his father."

"The princess is not only intelligent, but also full of filial piety."

"To be honest, what I did was not so much for filial piety as for 'survival'. If the crown prince succeeds in the future, the lives of all brothers and sisters will be safe; but if Wei Musui wins the throne, I'm afraid The prince and I will not see the dawn of the next day."

Shen Dongxue's eyes were full of worry upon hearing this, Wei Muqing kissed the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if it's not for the court, even if it's just for you, I won't let Wei Muqing Mu Sui succeeded."

"Princess, son-in-law, here we are." Yun Ze knocked on the car door and helped Wei Muqing out of the car.

"Your servants welcome the princess and son-in-law!" The document waited at the door with a group of civil and military officials from the state government, and when they saw the two get off the car, they hurried forward to salute.

"Excuse me, where's the second brother?"

"The imperial envoy is waiting for you in the banquet hall."

"Okay, let's all step back, so many people gather together, you don't mind annoying me, but rather."

"What the princess said is that the minister waits to leave."

After driving away the big officials and small officials, the two finally walked to the banquet hall quietly.Wei Musui sat at the table, and when the two arrived, he immediately called the maid beside him to pass the dishes.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the second emperor brother has lost a little weight. Could it be that he is not used to the water and soil of Lingzhou?"

"Hey, what the emperor said is that although the water and soil in Lingzhou are for raising people, but the emperor is still very sad as a newcomer. On the contrary, the emperor looks more lively than in the capital."

"It's all thanks to the parents-in-law and the son-in-law." Wei Muqing pulled Shen Dongxue into the seat, "Of course, the emperor's brother is tired of the case, and he must be less comfortable than the emperor's sister who travels around the mountains and rivers all day long."

Wei Musui signaled the maid behind him to bring tea for the two of them, and said with a smile, "Your sister might not be comfortable traveling around the mountains, right?"

"Why did the emperor say this?"

"Today, my brother received news from the magistrate of Songyan Mansion that there was a disturbance in a restaurant near Xinghan Lake last night, and the official reported it to him. According to the descriptions of the onlookers, the disturbance was like the royal sister and brother-in-law Take your guards with you."

"Brother Huang is really a nobleman who forgets things too much. Didn't the younger sister send the troublemaker to the younger brother last night? She robbed the women and made rude remarks in an attempt to smear the younger brother. How can the younger sister tolerate this when she sees it?" What kind of people?"

Wei Musui patted his forehead and said, "Look at the mind of Brother Huang, you actually forgot."

"After all, this case is very serious, and the emperor has nothing else to do. Speaking of the case of the elder brother of the Shen family, I have to trouble the elder brother to give the Shen family justice. Elder brother has also suffered a lot in prison these days. The son-in-law saw that he was thin Elder brother, almost passed out from crying, and the imperial sister's heart aches when she sees it."

"Where is the emperor's sister, to make Shen Qiuyue fair is what you should do for your brother. The emperor's sister and brother-in-law can rest assured."

"Then thank you, Brother Emperor."

Seeing that Wei Muqing had no intention of asking him why Mei Ciyao was still out and about, Wei Musui thought that the two of them didn't know about his relationship with the Mei family, and only let it go when they were venting their anger for Shen Qiuyue. Confused, he raised his wine glass and said: "Brother Huang toasts you a glass, and I will make amends for you. I hope that my sister, brother-in-law, and my lords will be generous, so don't bother with this forgetful brother."

Wei Muqing took the opportunity of toasting his glass and turned his face sideways, winking at Shen Dongxue, with a proud expression of "see what I said".Seeing this, Shen Dongxue nodded seriously, expressing her approval.

After lunch, Wei Musui pretended to keep him, "Why don't the imperial sister simply live in the state government office? It's also convenient for me, the imperial brother, to take care of you."

"No need, the emperor's brother is busy with business, so the emperor's sister won't bother me too much. Since I'm still staying in Songyan Mansion for a few days, I asked my son-in-law to accompany me to take a look around. After the emperor's brother settles his case, My son-in-law and I are ready to return to Beijing."

"Then the emperor won't keep you. I heard that Lingzhou has many wonderful sights and delicacies. The emperor should not miss it."

"I'm worried about you, Brother Huang."

"This is 100 taels of silver bills, not much, just a little kindness from Brother Huang."

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Wei Muqing took out the banknote, folded it and stuffed it into Shen Dongxue's hand, motioning her to put it away.

"Then the emperor will not send you off, and he has to review the files."

"Brother, stay here."

After leaving the state government office, the two of them took the guards and asked the coachman to drive to the market in the west of the city.

"Princess, we are going to the market but do we have something to buy?"

"It's to the Lin family's shop."

"Is that the Lin family?"

Wei Muqing nodded, and said seriously: "Since Wei Musui has relaxed our vigilance now, we should take action. The Enlightenment Mr. in the palace once said that Wei Musui will lose sooner or later because his eyes are higher than the top. , He also felt that the husband was targeting him and asked someone to beat him up on the way home."

"Does the emperor not know about this?"

"Until now, my father thinks that the third brother, Wei Muqiu, did this." Wei Muqing curled his lips, as if he was very disdainful of Wei Muqiu, "If you beat Xiao Wei Musui, let the third child take the blame for yourself , but the third child is a scapegoat, but he still worships the second child so badly, he must be out of his mind."
