Confused the world

In the lobby of Mu Mansion, Mu Wei was talking happily with Xuan Zhi's father-in-law, Qin Huai, but he was surprised by an eager but angry voice.

"Father, dad, is there someone from the palace?"

Mu Qingcheng ran into the hall in a hurry, without looking at whether there were outsiders around, she went straight to Mu Wei and questioned loudly.

Mu Wei looked at this disheveled daughter, she was only wearing an inner shirt, barefoot, disheveled hair, she didn't look like a lady at all, not to mention there were outsiders here, her appearance was completely uneducated.

"Cheng'er, how decent are you? How can you run out dressed like this, go and change quickly?"

Mu Wei looked like a strict father, and his face changed from the amiable look just now to majestic and angry.The teacup in his hand was put aside heavily, and the expression in his eyes was very displeased.

"Father, you don't need to worry about whether I'm decent or not, first tell me if someone has come to this palace?"

Mu Qingcheng didn't care whether his father was angry or not, he stepped forward and grabbed Mu Wei's clothes, and started to ask.The expression on his face was eager but eager for an answer.

"Yes"

"Really? Why are they here? Could it be that they really let me enter the palace to choose a concubine?"

After getting his father's answer, Mu Qingcheng's face turned a little blue.She just came home at noon, and it's only evening. In just three hours, her fate has been changed like this. How does she accept it?

"Here is the holy decree, you can see for yourself."

Mu Wei handed the imperial decree to his daughter, and he didn't want his poor daughter to enter the palace, but His Majesty had already issued the imperial decree.

Mu Qingcheng took the imperial decree, opened it in a panic, and after seeing all the words on it, fell powerlessly on the ground.

"If I had known it would be like this, I would not be returning to the imperial capital today. There are so many women in this world, why do you have to let me, a dying sick child, enter the palace?"

There was a little helplessness in the voice, more heartache.Thinking of the fact that I have been running around all these years, it is because I don't want to waste a good time and do what I like to do.Everyone said that he was a person who would not live to be twenty, and Tai Shizu also said that his physique was too poor. Although he had achieved some results in martial arts practice, if he was depressed and exhausted all day long, his life would be in danger.

The imperial decree was thrown aside, and Mu Wei stepped forward to help his daughter.This imperial decree really tied the Mu family and the royal family together, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"Cheng'er, don't talk nonsense. Your life is not long. Daddy won't allow you to talk about yourself like that."

"Father, go and tell Your Majesty that I don't want to enter the palace. I just want to play in the world and see the outside world. This palace is not suitable for me. If I can live to twenty, I'm afraid I won't even be eighteen if I enter the palace. It might not make it through.”

Since ancient times, the harem has been chaotic, with unlucky beauties and intrigues.Mu Qingcheng doesn't like the glory and wealth, but she is greedy for this world of mortals.

"Cheng'er, stop talking nonsense. Go and put on some clothes, don't catch a cold."

Just as Mu Wei was about to help his daughter up, Dong Xue rushed over with her coat.

"Miss, put on your clothes first, your illness is not cured yet, if you catch a cold, it will kill you."

Dongxue came over to help Mu Qingcheng put on her coat, looking at her sad face, she felt pity in her heart.

How to get into this court?The lady's temperament is absolutely unsuitable there.There are many rules in the court, and people's hearts are unpredictable.The lady is casual, doesn't like red tape, and likes to be free and easy.These are not allowed in that palace.

Dongxue helped Qingcheng get up, felt her pulse was disordered, and her complexion instantly changed.

"Miss, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Qingcheng spat out a mouthful of blood.Everyone present panicked, and Mu Wei's face was livid with fright.

"Cheng'er, you... what's wrong with you?"

Just as he was about to check the situation, his daughter fell directly into his arms.

"Chenger, Chenger..."

Mu Wei quickly left the hall with his daughter in his arms. Qin Huai, who had been sitting in the living room, had an extremely ugly expression when he saw this scene.It is said that the third lady of the Mu Mansion is a sick child, and this time I met a real person, it is really so.

The Mu residence was in a mess because of Mu Qingcheng's fainting, and Qin Huai didn't want to disturb him, so he quickly returned to the palace to return to his orders.

At this time, in Yongle Palace, the main palace of the Empress Dowager, the emperor was chatting with the Empress Dowager, while the Empress sat aside drinking tea, without saying a word.

"Yan'er, I heard that you want to recruit Prime Minister Mu's daughter into the palace?"

The queen mother looked at the people beside her with a puzzled expression, she didn't understand.The harem is not allowed to interfere with this matter of the court, but the selection of concubines is also a matter of the harem.She was somewhat worried that the Mu family now only had one third lady who had not left the cabinet.But the third lady of Namu Mansion is a complete sick child, if there is a mistake in the palace, Mu Wei will not be able to explain it.

"Yes, mother."

Huangfu Jingyan's voice was gentle but firm.

"Yan'er, the queen mother knows that you want to win over Muwei, but you can understand his daughter. Back then, your father sent the best imperial doctor in the palace but failed to cure her illness. It is rumored among the people that she will not live to be twenty years old. .Aren't you asking for trouble for yourself by recruiting her into the palace?"

The court situation is chaotic, and there are two major factions in the court: one is Mu Wei's faction, and the other is Yixin Wang's faction.King Yixin has always wanted to seek power. This Muwei, although the late emperor left him alone, no one knows what will happen with the current situation.

Looking at the queen mother who was worried about him, Huangfu Jingyan was a little moved.Although she is not her biological mother, she is also her aunt.Thanks to her for taking care of this palace, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos it would be.

"Mother, don't worry. This Mu family is also a family that the father relies on, and they will not make things difficult for their children. Miss Mu's family, I will treat her well and will not let her be wronged."

Huangfu Jingyan held the queen mother's hand, hoping that she would feel at ease.

The queen looked at the two people who were deeply in love with each other, and felt a little miserable.The tea in his hand had been held for almost half an hour, but he didn't take a sip of the tea.

The eyes have been fixed on the person I love, and I don't want to miss any expression on her face.

"Queen mother, don't worry. After Miss Namu's family enters the palace, I will treat you well. Don't worry."

"Queen, Queen Mother knows that neither of you wants Aijia to worry, but the selection of concubine will cause more disturbance in the harem."

The queen mother patted Huangfu Jingyan's hand and sighed.Although there are not many concubines in the harem, women will do anything to compete for favor.The choice of concubine this time is not only about choosing a concubine, but more about the court.Therefore, the person chosen is also a lady of the official family who has status and cannot be offended.

"This old slave is for the queen mother, Your Majesty, the queen pays her respects."

Qin Huai bowed to the three masters inside.

Looking at Qin Huai who was in a hurry, Huangfu Jingyan looked at him sideways and asked suspiciously.

"Eunuch Qin, your complexion is not very good. You are in such a hurry. Could it be that something important happened?"

Qin Huai watched him grow up, and it was the first time Huangfu Jingyan saw him with such a bad face.

"Your Majesty, the third miss of the Mu family vomited blood and fainted, and the Mu family is in chaos."

"What? How could this be?"

I was a little surprised to hear the news just after the decree was announced.

None of the few people present had a good-looking complexion, and Mu Wei must not be offended.If you get into trouble because of the imperial decree, it will be difficult to deal with the courtier relationship in the future.

"The third miss of the Mu family is so sad because she doesn't want to enter the palace to choose a concubine."

"Eunuch Qin, can you see Miss Mufu? Is she really in poor health?"

The queen mother frowned, and her face became a little dignified.The handkerchief in his hand has already been crumpled and crumpled, and the court situation is unstable. If he wants to win over Mu Wei, this is a good time. If the third lady has not entered the palace, she will die, and the court is even more unstable. Those rebellious officials and thieves will definitely have an opportunity to take advantage of it. The first emperor painstakingly gained the world, how can he keep it.

"The old slave doesn't know much about it. According to the situation, it shouldn't be very good."

Qin Huai lowered his head and thought of the scene he saw in Mu Mansion, it was really scary.It is said that Prime Minister Mu is majestic and calm in dealing with things, but when his daughter fainted, he was in a mess.It seems that the third miss of the Mu family really cannot be offended.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send the imperial physician to visit the Mu Mansion?"

The queen does not participate in the affairs of the court, but also knows the current situation of the court.Mu Wei is now facing His Majesty, but he has asked to resign many times, which is also the relationship between His Majesty's use of the selection of concubines to tie him to the court.

The third young lady died before entering the palace, the reason for resignation will become more sufficient.The Huangfu Dynasty was troubled both internally and externally. If Mu Wei were missing now, the world would not be far from changing hands.

"Eunuch Qin, you go to Xuan Li's doctor and ask him to go to the shogunate. Hey, it's better for Ai's family to go there in person. This is also our apology for our abruptness."

The Queen Mother understands things and knows how to behave.Just as she was about to get up, she was supported by Huangfu Jingyan.

"Queen, it's better for my son to go there in person."

Huangfu Jingyan supported the Empress Dowager's arm, knowing that he made her worry again, and felt a little guilty.

"Okay, Yan'er, don't get into conflict with Prime Minister Mu. The Mu family has become like this because of the choice of concubine, and I'm afraid the family doesn't welcome you very much."

"My son knows, my son will step down for the time being, and my mother will have a good rest."

After Huangfu Jingyan finished speaking, he backed out with Qin Huai.

When Huangfu Jingyan brought the imperial doctor to Mu's residence, Mu's residence became quiet but dull.I have been here a few times before, and every time it is warm and harmonious, this time it is a bit suffocating.The expressions on everyone's faces were dignified, and no one came to greet him.Sending someone to inquire, Mu Wei and his wife were both in Miss San's boudoir and did not leave a single step.Originally wanted to take a look, but was told by the housekeeper that the young lady was critically ill, and it was inconvenient for the owner to see the visitor, and his voice sounded like chasing people away, which was very displeased.

Huangfu Jingyan didn't care too much, she knew that the people in Mufu were very emotional.Sitting alone in the lobby and waiting until dawn, did Mu Wei come out to meet him.

A month later, in Minghua Hall, a row of gorgeously dressed women stood there.

Everyone has a smiling face and is dressed in rich and elegant attire. Only one is dressed in white with a haggard face, as if she could fly away if a gust of wind blows.

The woman looked down at the embroidered shoes on her feet. Others wanted to show her best side, but she ignored it.Busy on my own.

On the main hall, sitting side by side was a man dressed in a glamorous yellow brocade robe, and the expression on his face did not change.Beside her was a gorgeously dressed woman in her thirties, and she knew who she was at a glance.This is Emperor Renhui and Empress Dowager Liu Yihan.

On the left side of the Empress Dowager is Empress Ouyang Qingxue, next to the woman in purple dress is imperial concubine Wei Shuang'er, on the right side of Emperor Renhui is Defei Han Yuer in blue dress and Lan Feilan in blue dress Hui Jun.

They all stared at the women of His Highness, there will be two concubines in the harem, and the battle in the palace seems to be about to start at this moment.
