Princess of the Past and Present

Late at night, the breeze is blowing, the full moon hangs high, and everything is silent.

Mo Shuang was holding a book and reading silently in front of the window, the candlestick was covered with wax tears, when there was a knock on the door, he called to come in.

The door opened with a creak, and a woman dressed as a maid came in, holding a basin of hot water in her hand.

The servant girl Dong Ling put the hot water on the basin stand, turned around and said, "Master, it's late, let's wash and rest first."

Mo Shuang responded, put down the book in his hand, and walked towards the basin stand. Dong Ling twisted the handkerchief and presented it to him with both hands, and said from the side: "His Royal Highness is sleeping in the study room again tonight. A soft couch, furnished like a dormitory. Now people are talking about the young master, saying that you have treated His Royal Highness badly."

Mo Shuang wiped her face and hands, put down her handkerchief, and said, "If others say it's their business, don't bother."

"However, I feel sorry for the young master when I hear this." Dong Ling looked aggrieved, "Master should not have agreed to this marriage at the beginning, causing you to suffer all kinds of grievances here, and you will not know how to live for decades to come."

There was no wave on Mo Shuang's face, and he was silent for a long time, he said: "You have been tired all day, go back and rest first."

He is the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty. He was born with a sickly constitution and lived on bowls of black medicine. When he was three years old, he followed the advice of an expert and sent him to be raised in a Taoist temple in Lingyun Mountain. He practiced Taoism and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. survived.

Today, the emperor once promised to marry Princess Yuanqing to the prime minister's mansion.It's just a few years later, when the eleven or twelve-year-old little princess grows up to be slim, she already has her own heart, and she vows to stay with Mr. Ruyi to the death, and she can't escape the palace overnight to elope with her sweetheart.

The emperor was afraid that the scandal would be publicized, so he announced to the world that Princess Yuanqing was seriously ill and would die soon.

The emperor had previously promised to marry the prime minister's mansion, so there is no joke.There are no daughters in the prime minister's house, and the daughters of the royal family have already married as wives, and they cannot go back on their word, which is really a headache.

There are a lot of folk men getting married, and there are several records of male concubines and empresses in the court.After deliberation, the emperor summoned the prime minister in private and asked for his opinion, which the prime minister readily accepted.

The later emperor issued an edict that after one month, Prince Mu Jin will marry Mo Shuang, the third son of the prime minister's mansion, without delay.

Mo Shuang, who was practicing Taoism in Lingyun Mountain, was recalled by the imperial decree, so she married into the Prince's Mansion and became the Crown Prince's concubine as a man.

On the day of their marriage, the emperor, the empress and all the civil and military officials of the court gathered in the prince's mansion to congratulate the newlyweds.Prince Mu Jin bowed his hands and thanked them one by one. After the people dispersed, there was no smile on his face.

Walking into the new house, looking at the man in red standing with his back facing him in front of the window, he said in a low voice, "I don't like men."

Mo Shuang, who was about to turn back, stopped abruptly, without saying a word, only hearing Mu Jin's footsteps leaving.

This marriage was clearly a farce.Neither he nor Mu Jin escaped the order of the king and the orders of their parents.

If it's just that they don't like men, it's okay, at least they can respect each other as guests and get along with each other as confidants.But it happened not, Mu Jin hated the top and bottom of the prime minister's mansion, including Mo Shuang naturally.

Yin Sheng, the prime minister of the current court, was an out-and-out treacherous minister. He was domineering in the court and domineering in the court.At the beginning of the prince dispute, Yin Sheng supported the sixth prince, while Mu Jin was the eighth prince.

In history, the disputes between princes have always been bloody and bloody. In order to help the sixth prince Zhe Kan to ascend to the throne, Yin Sheng used all kinds of tricks, both openly and secretly, and hurt countless people, but finally failed to get his wish.Half a year ago, the eighth prince Mu Jinruyi ascended to the position of prince, and the sixth prince was named the sixth prince.

The person who fueled the flames in front of the emperor and advocated marrying Yin Moshuang to the prince's mansion was also the sixth prince.

Mu Jin was resentful, knowing that this was a conspiracy by the sixth prince, but he had to marry the son of the prime minister under the emperor's order.

Mo Shuang married into the Prince's Mansion for a month, and met Mu Jin only a handful of times, and even if she met, she couldn't get his attention.Perhaps, when the two met on the street, His Highness the Crown Prince might not recognize his own Crown Princess.

"Brother Mu Jin, the weather has been a little cold these days. You should not sleep in the study. If you catch a cold, I will feel sorry for you. There are so many wing rooms in the house, and it doesn't take much for the servants to rearrange a bedroom." time."

"No need."

The woman who accompanied Mu Jin was Yuan Yuzhi, daughter of Shang Shuling and the empress' niece.She clung to Mu Jin like a bee, "Then why don't I come forward and talk to that person, let him move to another place, and you live in your own bedroom."

Mu Jin paused, and Yuan Yuzhi also stopped, startled.At the corner ahead, Mo Shuang was coming towards him, and when he saw Mu Jin, he stopped and looked straight at him, his eyes darkened.

Mu Jin turned around and went down the corridor, leaving towards a small path on the side, Yuan Yuzhi hurriedly followed.Dong Ling looked at his young master, feeling a thousand grievances in his heart, he had done nothing wrong, yet he wanted to come here to be looked down upon by others.

Back in the dormitory, Mo Shuang sat down at the table, "Dong Ling, pack up your things, let's move to the wing."

Dong Ling bit her lip, her eyes were flushed, "My lord, you can't move, you are the concubine appointed by the emperor's decree, you should live in the main room, it's his business if His Highness doesn't go back to the room, besides, His Highness didn't say anything." Telling you to move away, that woman's words won't work, so don't let her suppress you."

Mo Shuang's face was as still as water, "Where you live is different."

"No, it's not the same." Dong Ling knelt down in front of Mo Shuang, held his hand and said, "My lord, you grew up in a Taoist temple and don't know the rules of this noble family. If you move here If we go out, everyone in the prince's mansion will definitely look down on us even more, and will be bullied by them even more in the future, so, no matter what, you have to stay here." Dong Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and he sniffed, " Unless, unless His Royal Highness speaks in person."

After many years of visiting Taoist temples, he has long looked down on fame and status in the world of mortals, but Mo Shuang doesn't care what outsiders think, he just asks for a place to stay.

This girl was married by the Prime Minister's mansion with him, and we have only known each other for more than a month, but she always thinks of him.

"Young master, you have to listen to me, you must not move out from here."

Mo Shuang helped her up from the ground, "If you don't move it, you should get up first."

Dong Ling stood up, raised her sleeves and wiped away her tears, "Don't worry, my lord, if that woman comes to drive us away, I will definitely argue with her."

Mo Shuang smiled helplessly, and said instead, "Go get my sword."

"Well, here we go."

Although he left the Taoist temple, Mo Shuang still insisted on practicing sword every day and studying Taoism, and never let up in the slightest.

As expected, Yuan Yuzhi had the cheek to come to find the princess in person, with a calm tone and a smile all the time.

She called Mo Shuang Young Master Yin, as if to emphasize that he is the son of the treacherous Prime Minister Yin Sheng, and there was some sarcasm in her words, "Brother Mu Jin doesn't like male sex, even a man like Young Master Yin It is no exception. Therefore, Brother Mu Jin does not share the same room with you, Mr. Yin must be considerate and considerate of this as a man."

Mo Shuang took a sip of tea, "Miss Yuan might as well cut to the chase."

A silk handkerchief was twisted in Yuan Yuzhi's hand, "Brother Mu Jin sleeps in the study every day, I think Mr. Yin also knows about it."

Mo Shuang put down the teacup, "I've heard people talk about it before."

"Brother Mu Jin is busy with government affairs every day, and he has to sleep in the study when he returns home. It's really difficult for him."

Dong Ling beside Mo Shuang said, "His Royal Highness likes to sleep in the study, so there is no other way."

Yuan Yuzhi glared at Dong Ling, and said sarcastically: "It seems that Mr. Yin is usually negligent in discipline, and a mere maid is so indifferent."

"My servant girl likes to speak quickly, and I hope that Miss Yuan will not be offended."

"Of course not." Yuan Yuzhi laughed dryly and continued: "I just said that brother Mu Jin sleeps in the study every day. I came today to discuss with Mr. Yin. Mr. Yin is a sensible person. Mu Jin My elder brother doesn't like to share a room with men, and there is only one main room in the prince's mansion. As the prince, brother Mu Jin can't move to the side room as the head of the prince's mansion, but Mr. Yin is different. I mean, Mr. Yin should be understandable."

"Is this what His Highness the Crown Prince meant?" Mo Shuang asked.

Yuan Yuzhi had a hint of embarrassment on his face, and then deliberately sighed, "Brother Mu Jin is kind-hearted, he is always willing to suffer himself than trouble others."

Dong Ling couldn't understand Yuan Yuzhi's domineering appearance, and said, "Since His Royal Highness didn't mean it, why should Miss Yuan persuade my young master to move to the wing room on her own initiative? Or is it just selfishness for Miss Yuan to drive away my young master? Marry into the prince's mansion and live in the main house?"

Yuan Yuzhi's pretty face turned blue, her heart heaved as if she had been greatly stimulated, her eyes stared at Dong Ling's flying needles, and she was about to teach the servant girl a lesson.

Mo Shuang rushed ahead of her, "Dong Ling, don't be rude."

"Yes, young master." Dong Ling lowered his head and replied.

Mo Shuang looked at Yuan Yuzhi again, "Miss Yuan, what else do you want to say?"

The displeasure in Yuan Yuzhi's heart was beyond words, and she swallowed the words that she was going to teach the servant girl, she stood up and said: "There is nothing more to say, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

After walking a long way, Yuan Yuzhi stood in front of a cluster of flowers, tearing the petals to vent, "It's unreasonable, even a maid doesn't pay attention to me!"

The servant girl behind her comforted: "Miss, don't be angry, their master and servant are just playing names in the Prince's Mansion, and His Royal Highness's heart is on your side."

"That's what I'm angry about. Brother Mu Jin clearly likes me, so why should he be the princess!" Yuan Yuzhi grabbed the petals on the branch and threw them on the ground, her heart burning hard. Even if she came in in the future, At most she is a side concubine!
