Raiders of the demon concubine who crossed

Xuande Hall.

Mu Zizhen was reviewing the memorial, when the chief servant came to report in a hurry, Mu Zizhen immediately put down his pen, and King Xuanrui had an audience.

Mu Chengyuan saluted and said, "Father."

Mu Zilai liked this son from the bottom of his heart, and recently Prince Rui assisted the Ministry of Criminal Justice to revise the law, and he made great contributions in suppressing bandits, Mu Zizhen was still worried about how to reward Prince Rui.

The prince can't do it for the time being, maybe he can give this grace to the noble concubine and promote her to be the imperial concubine.Although most of the time queens and imperial concubines will not coexist, Concubine Jiao can afford this position, and it is okay to make an exception occasionally.

Mu Ziyu said, "Chengyuan, what's the matter with you?"

Mu Chengyuan said: "I want to ask my father to give me a marriage."

"Cheng Yuan, who did you fall in love with?"

Hearing the words, Mu Zizhen was delighted, Prince Rui had been swearing to death all these years, and now he wanted to let go, Mu Zizhen was very happy, thinking that no matter which girl Prince Rui wanted, he would try his best to satisfy it.

Mu Chengyuan nodded and said: "Father, my son would like to ask Yan Rutie to be the right concubine."

Mu Ziyu: "..."

He stood up from the dragon chair, and slowly walked to Prince Rui's side, within a short distance of ten or so steps, his mind had already changed in an instant.Prince Rui would never joke in front of the imperial court, that is to say, since Prince Rui said these words, he meant it seriously.

"Why is it him?"

Mu Chengyuan said: "I like him, and I want to ask him to seal him."

Mu Ziyu was a little strange that such impulsive and unfamiliar words would appear in Prince Rui's mouth.

This Prince Rui, what is he thinking?

Mu Zixuan said: "Chengyuan, your great-grandfather did confer a male concubine. But it is different from the concubine after all... Do you know what it means to make a man a concubine?"

If he really married a male concubine, it meant that he would not be destined for the throne. Among other things, Mu Ziyu and the officials of Da Chu would never allow Da Chu to give birth to a male queen.

However, Prince Rui is not the crown prince after all, and Mu Zizhen has no intention of letting Prince Rui take the throne. Prince Rui's willingness to marry a male concubine is equivalent to giving up the throne on his own initiative. It's a good thing, from this point of view, it's not impossible...

"Father." Mu Chengyuan bowed deeply: "My son came to beg Father, I have already thought it through very clearly."

He answered so bluntly that Mu Ziyu couldn't bear it.

It is indeed a good thing for Prince Rui to marry a male concubine, but what about Prince Rui himself?

He has been suppressing Prince Rui all the time, if he marry another male concubine to Prince Rui, wouldn't he be too wronged?

Mu Zizhen sighed and said, "Cheng Yuan, I don't want to agree."

Mu Chengyuan was very satisfied to be able to get this sigh, and said: "If the father refuses to allow, my son will be bold and use this military merit in exchange."

Mu Ziyu: "..."

The emperor knew how determined Prince Rui was.Since Prince Rui is willing and has many benefits, why not do it?

As an emperor, he should have promised, but why did he feel that there was a thousand catties of weight when he nodded his head?

Because of this response, the possibility of Prince Rui succeeding to the throne was really cut off.

Mu Ziyu was upset: "You go back first. Let me think about it again and give you an answer in a few days."

Mu Chengyuan kowtowed and left.

Mu Zizhen immediately went to Yikun Palace.

Concubine Jiao was dressed up to welcome her, her eyelids were still a little swollen, Mu Ziyu said clearly, "Did Cheng Yuan tell you?"

Jiao said helplessly: "I said it, said that he fell in love with Xiao Tie, and asked my concubine to speak a few words of kindness for him in front of the emperor."

Mu Zizhen really couldn't imagine that Prince Rui would be so reckless, he was a little dumbfounded: "He has always been steady, why is he so ignorant?"

If he had some concerns about Prince Rui's intentions before, they were blown away by Concubine Jiao's complaint.

Jiao said: "Your Majesty, no matter how Yuan'er is, most of them are the children of concubines. Concubines are really reluctant..."

Mu Zizhen sighed quietly: "I am the same."

Jiao Shi said: "Actually, the concubine is very hesitant. This is the first time Yuan'er has come to ask the concubine like this. The concubine is afraid that if he refuses this time, when will he figure it out next time... and the concubine can see that, He likes Xiao Tie very much."

Mu Zixuan smiled: "It's really not easy for him to come to me and ask for marriage. But hasn't Xiao Tie already followed him? Why must he be promoted to be a concubine?"

He remembered that he once spoke up for Mr. He Huan, he could send away those who came to provoke him like iron with a few words, he didn't admire the powerful, he was smart, and he heard that he had helped Prince Rui a lot, he had a lot of respect for this child Appreciation, there is only such a waiter by Prince Rui's side, if he can let Prince Rui get out of the past, it is probably really caught in Prince Rui's eyes...

Mu Ziyu pondered for a moment, and said: "The main concubine is inappropriate in the end, how about the side concubine?"

The side concubine of the county king is going to enter the jade ultimatum.It is an exception for Yan Rutie, a commoner, to get this position.

Concubine Jiao laughed: "Yuan'er only seeks the position of concubine."

"Nonsense." Mu Zixuan scolded: "Marry a man and can't have children. What's the use of occupying the position of the concubine? If he really likes it, he should pamper him more."

Concubine Jiao pushed a strand of her forehead hair behind her ears, and responded with a smile: "This is how my concubine persuaded him..."

Following the movements of the noble concubine, Mu Zifu caught a glimpse of a green jade bracelet on her wrist. Concubine Jiao is frugal, and this jade bracelet has been worn for many years. Mu Zifu vaguely remembered that this bracelet was still in her hidden residence as a side concubine I rewarded her myself.

In fact, when he and Jiao were in love in the early years, Mu Zizhen once gave her a bright red coral bracelet, because he later married Gu's daughter as his concubine, and Jiao became a concubine, so the red coral bracelet was not suitable. Jiao's knowledge is general, and she has never worn it out. Gu's got the news from nowhere, so she just found the bracelet and "accidentally" broke it in front of her.He knew all this, but because of the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Gu family, he couldn't get angry, so he could only reward this emerald jade bracelet as compensation.

Gu's arrogant, Jiao's forbearance, for the sake of peace in the backyard, she never complained in front of him, and even secretly took contraceptive decoction without telling him, and after Gu's eldest son and eldest daughter were born, Jiao's dare to conceive ... He also knows these things.

When Najiao was the side concubine, he had thought that he just need to pamper her more... Is it really enough to just pamper her?Didn't he ever regret it, if she was the empress, if Prince Rui was his son, how wonderful it would be?

"emperor."

Concubine Jiao's call brought him back to his senses.The woman who had been with him for many years knelt down in tears and said: "The emperor understands Yuan'er's painstaking efforts, and Yuan'er also understands Xiaotie's thoughts. The courtiers have never asked for anything in these years, and now they are bold. I beg the emperor, let him be with the person he likes."

"..."

Mu Ziyu remembered, he suppressed her child for many years, wasn't it just to consolidate the crown prince's status?He has already deprived Prince Rui of many things, should he continue to deprive Prince Rui of his marriage?

Filled with guilt, Mu Chengyuan helped the imperial concubine himself, and sighed: "Jingyan, I've been sorry for you all these years."

Since he has no intention of Prince Rui succeeding to the throne, why not let Prince Rui live more comfortably and do what he did not do back then?

The empress has been worried for a long time in Changchun Palace. I heard that Prince Rui's trip to the palace was to propose marriage. The emperor then went to Yikun Palace. I don't know who Princess Rui will marry. Mrs. Hui'an Marquis Gu and her daughter came first. Being summoned by the noble concubine, if the emperor still points out the daughter of the Gu family for Prince Rui this time, does it mean that the emperor still likes Prince Rui in his heart, then her son's crown prince position may be in jeopardy...

Helplessly, the empress could not find out what was going on in the Yikun Palace, nor did she know what the imperial concubine and the emperor had said, but the emperor did not stay in the Yikun Palace that night, and turned around to come to the Changchun Palace.

Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the emperor seldom came to the empress's place. The empress was overjoyed and took the opportunity to inquire about Prince Rui's marriage. in the eyes.Since he intended to make Prince Rui perfect, he wanted to make this marriage more thoughtful. Yan Rutie's status as a princess was not enough. The emperor originally planned to have the queen's brother, Huian Hou Gu Yan, give Ru Tie a status in the Gu family. Prince Rui Since he doesn't want to be on the throne, why not use this to ease the relationship between the prince, the Gu family and Prince Rui, and kill two birds with one stone.

But the empress acted like this, the emperor was not happy anymore, regardless of marrying a man or a daughter, Prince Rui finally figured it out, he can no longer ask the empress to add trouble to others.Finally, he set his sights on the Yongchang Hou Mansion.Since Prince Rui had a good relationship with the Yongchanghou family, it would be more appropriate to entrust this matter to the Yongchanghou couple.

The Marquis of Yongchang and the eldest princess were summoned into the palace overnight, and when they learned that it was for Prince Rui's marriage, they were so surprised that they could not speak. After hearing the emperor's plan, even the eldest princess Rong'an, who had a good relationship with Prince Rui, was a little uneasy. up.

Prince Rui had sent news to the Yongchang Hou's residence, and the Yongchang Hou and the eldest princess also felt that according to Prince Rui's heart, they should not really abandon the throne for the sake of a boy.Right now Prince Rui and the crown prince are in a stalemate, the emperor favors the crown prince, it is not good for Prince Rui, this move can confuse the prince, prince, party and open up a new situation.Marquis Yongchang has always admired Prince Rui, how many people in the world have the courage to marry a male concubine at this juncture, and Prince Rui did it.

But the Marquis of Yongchang and the eldest princess never expected that the emperor would intentionally let Princess Rui stay in the Marquis of Yongchang.Yan Rutie's status is too low, and he was once the prince's male favorite, which is really inappropriate. If he can change his status to a member of the Marquis Mansion, it will be much nicer.

The most regrettable thing in Princess Rong An's life is that she has no daughter and cannot be married to Prince Rui. With such an opportunity, she immediately said tentatively: "Brother Emperor, sister-in-law often hears Xi'er talk about this young master. I heard that he is the most clever, but he even opened a shop outside."

Mu Ziyu smiled and praised: "He is a good boy, with good character. You will like it when you see him, but his background is not good enough."

The Marquis of Yongchang and the eldest princess had a good understanding, and the reaction was not slow: "I think this child is extremely intelligent and a talent to be made. If not, I will accept him as a foster son and take him into the residence of the Marquis of Yongchang for a few days."

In fact, Mu Ziyu wanted to directly put him under the name of the eldest princess, but if he did so, he would become the son of Marquis of Yongchang. Although he was nominally opposed to Prince Rui, but the eldest princess had such a big son out of nowhere, It will definitely cause people to gossip, it would be great if Marquis Yongchang came forward to accept him as a foster son.

Mu Ziyu was irritated in his heart, but he still declined: "He comes from a humble background and has no relatives. To be the adopted son of the Marquis of Yun is probably too flattering to him."

Marquis Yongchang sighed: "Could it be that the emperor has forgotten that the minister was born in poverty, if it weren't for the great grace of the emperor, how could he be enshrined as a marquis? And he is not unaccompanied. From now on, the minister and the eldest princess are his relatives."

Mu Ziyu and Yongchang Hou looked at each other and smiled, which solved the problem of Ru Tie's identity.As for the details of Ru Tie, Mu Zizhen had already found out clearly that His Majesty the Emperor looked down on the Yan family who sold his own son. Since they had signed the contract of sale, Ru Tie has nothing to do with the Yan family. There is no need to seek the opinion of the Yan family, as long as his current master, Prince Rui agrees.

This is a great good thing, how could Prince Rui not allow it?
