Chapter 128 Bargaining

Yan Yunqing liked the two Taihu stones he brought back very much. He bent over and looked at them carefully. Yan Qisheng asked him,

"Dad, is someone coming to summon the palace?"

Yan Yunqing responded while looking at it,

"I have been here since I was blocked back. Later, the Xia Hou was so anxious that he ordered me to enter the palace..."

"How did Dad deal with it?"

"Hmph! I'm claiming to be sick... I also have to look at the convening of the government's consecration, not to mention the Xia family!"

Yan Qisheng just laughed when he heard this.

"Dad, I see the temperature is almost the same..."

"Um……"

Yan Yunqing nodded and said,

"In the past few days, the old traitor Liu Tong has raised military affairs and asked the court to withdraw the troops. Hou Xia was forced to have no choice but to cry in front of everyone in the court. All the ministers turned a blind eye, and no one was willing to pay the money! Later, she also privately summoned some life-long women, but everyone agreed in person. There was no news when she went back. Some of them were forced to make it so urgent that they could not go out, and some of them were really far away like seniors...!"

Yan Qisheng just sneered after hearing this.

"Those people, the bigger the official, the more powerful they are. All behind them are the century-old prosperous clan, and they have a deep foundation! Even if the official family comes, it will take some effort, not to mention the Xia family's wife and children!"

Yan Yunqing nodded and said,

"Let your wife go to the palace tomorrow!"

Yan Qisheng rolled his eyes after hearing this.

"We are tired from the boat when we come back. Chang Zhen has to rest tomorrow. I don't have the energy to enter the palace to deal with her. I will wait for two more days!"

After saying that, he took off his robe and left. Yan Yun stood in front of the Taihu stone, smiling and shaking his head.

"Boy, treat your wife like a treasure..."

The Mu Hongluan was asking Green Embroidery to place Zi Yuan and his daughter. Zi Yuan has washed her face now. Her face looks very beautiful, and she has changed into good clothes. She is a pretty little beauty.

No wonder she was exposed and her daughter was so scared that she wanted to escape. She was really beautiful. If she fell into the thief's nest, she would be even more miserable.

Only then did she remember to ask about Zi Yuan’s life experience. Zi Yuan’s eyes were filled with tears when she talked about the past.

"I and my grandmother were originally from Chengdu Prefecture. My father died five years ago, and the land was occupied by the clan elders. My mother and daughter really couldn't survive, so they came here to join my aunt who was married far away. They finally arrived near Taihu Lake. But I knew that my grandmother had already died of illness two years ago. My uncle's family had moved back to her hometown in Quanzhou. My grandmother and my grandmother had no choice but to wander around. My grandmother was sick and blind. I had no choice but to disguise myself as a man and join the group of people..."

She also knew in her heart that if she could support her mother by entering the tile house with her face, she would be able to support her mother. Her innocence would be ruined for the rest of her life and she could not turn over again. It would be better than pretending to be a man and mingling in the pile of stealers!

Mu Hongluan thought to herself after hearing this,

"This little girl is a tough and intelligent person!"

Asked her again,

"What do you know?"

Zi Yuan lowered her head in awe when she heard this, and stretched out her hands to show them.

"There is nothing next to me, but my hands are very clever. I can learn the cooking skills of the girl-red!

Mu Hongluan and Lu Xiu both looked down at her hands. This girl's hands were indeed well born. Not only did her fingers look thin and white, but when she pinched her hands, she was soft and soft and powerful. She was indeed a good pair of hands!

No wonder I was able to join the thief. It would be a pity to have such a pair of hands. If I practice martial arts early, I wouldn’t be able to really practice a pair of empty hands!

Mu Hongluan looked at her heart and said with a smile on her face.

"That's right, I'm short of someone skilled around me. You can learn to learn to be a girl from Qiulan and learn to comb your hair with Dongxue!"

Zi Yuan was happy to salute her.

"Don't worry, madam, I will learn from my sisters!"

When she was in Chengdu, the Yuan family was considered a wealthy family. Yuan Ziyuan had seen some worldly appearances. When she saw Mu Hongluan in her style, she knew that her family must be very rich. When she arrived in Lin'an City and entered Lincuiyuan, she realized that her wife's family was rich and noble, and that the bad-tempered young man was actually the emperor's nephew.

Such a family would have to squeeze out even if they wanted to sell themselves as slaves, but they didn't expect that their family would have such good luck and would be able to enter such a family from a thief who was hiding on the street.

Now seeing that Mu Hongluan is really using her sincerely, she naturally responds to doing things well. In addition to doing things seriously every day, she is taking care of her blind mother, and she is very dedicated.

Mu Hongluan was staying at home for another two days before handing over a sign to see the queen. Empress Xia was overjoyed and said,

"Quick! Hurry! Send a car to pick up Mrs. Puguo!"

The palace maid invited Mu Hongluan to the main hall. This time, Xia Hou stepped down and reached out to pull her.

"Madam, I haven't seen each other for a few days, but I'm getting more and more radiant!"

Mu Hongluan came forward and still bowed in a regular manner. Xia Hou smiled and said,

"Madam, don't have to be so polite!"

Mu Hongluan looked at the Xia Hou's face, and even if he threw thick powder, he could see the blue color at his eyes. He was impatient with her pretending to be false, so he said bluntly,

"I went out because my father-in-law wanted to inspect the family property. When I heard that the queen had sent someone to summon me, my wife hurriedly handed over the sign when she came back. I don't know what the queen had to ask her wife to do?"

As soon as this said, Xia Hou was in a hurry to answer,

"What I said to my wife earlier, did the wife talk to Mr. Pu Guogong when she went back?"

Mu Hongluan smiled slightly and said,

"I really don't dare to let down the queen's entrustedness, but I've told my father-in-law!"

"Oh... how did Duke Pu respond?"

"this……"

"Madam... It's okay to say it, I will not blame you!"

"Report to the Queen, my father-in-law has always been worried about the country and the people. When he heard that the war was about to begin, he was anxious. He just told me that the Yan family must be protected by the Yan family. The second prince is old this year but has been unmarried. He did not allow him to establish a prince's official family in the previous period. So no one of the Yan family can stand up rightfully, and even the country is damaged and the people suffer. He is really shameful to his ancestors!"

When Xia Hou heard this, his face was slightly dark.

"What does Pu Guogong mean?"

But Mu Hongluan didn't take her gloomy face in her eyes at all, but just smiled,

"My wife is just relaying the words of father-in-law. I think her father-in-law also hates this child who is not good at teaching. She is not young but has accomplished nothing. She is worried and angry. She just says that a man can't sweep a house or pacify the world. He is so useless... it really makes him worried..."

Xia Hou's face was as good as the bottom of a pot, and she had a vague understanding in her heart, but she gritted her teeth and said,

"What does the affairs of these two princes have to do with the Liao army's invasion in the south?"

Mu Hongluan responded,

"Queen, how can my wife, a woman in the inner house, understand the relationship between this? But thinking that governing the country is like governing the family is also the same. It is always my nephew, so the elders are happy. The money was thrown out!"

Xia Houyin's Yinya clenched her teeth and said words popped out from the gaps between her teeth.

"I would like to ask my wife... to make it clear, Duke Pu... how should Duke Pu pay the money?"

Mu Hongluan covered her mouth and smiled,

"How can the Queen Shengming not understand? It's just that I want to establish a crown prince for my Daning Dynasty, so that all the clan elders can rest assured!"

"No way!"

Empress Xia blurted out immediately after hearing this.

"This is a matter of no conclusion!"

It’s a long time to say that she is the official family is unwilling to be! After Yan Shoujing was appointed as the crown prince, she would be able to have a son in the future. The age is too far apart, and it would be difficult to get back to the situation!

Seeing this, Mu Hongluan shook her head and sighed.

"Even if the queen refuses, her wife has no choice but to go back and report to her father-in-law!"

After saying that, he wanted to say goodbye and leave the palace. When Hou Xia saw that she was really leaving, he hurriedly reached out to hold it, bit his lip for a while before saying,

"Mrs. I went back and reported to Duke Pu. The fact that the prince was established could not be done. The Ai family could think of some ways to do the things next to me!"

After hearing this, Mu Hongluan laughed in her heart and bowed to the palace.

This room was left for a few days after the summer. The eight hundred miles of military situation were sent back, but the Liao Emperor suppressed the rebellion of various troops and integrated the army and was about to march south!

Empress Xia received a letter in the court, and she was anxious to ask the ministers how to deal with it. Now the main war team came out to respond.

"I am willing to lead troops to meet the enemy and lead 80,000 troops to block the Liao soldiers in the Yuzhending area..."

Empress Xia was overjoyed when she heard this, but she heard the sermon again.

"It's just that the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass are coming first..."

Empress Xia immediately became angry and had no choice but to return to the harem. She bit her pen and thought hard for a long time and wrote a letter to Yan Zhan, telling the situation in the court one by one. It was a pity that Yan Zhan was still just blamed when he saw that the letter was still not aware of it, but he didn't have any idea. Empress Xia was extremely resentful!

But she didn't know that if Yan Zhan encountered such a thing, he would be frowning and sighing. In the end, he was still swaying in the main battle and the main harmony. While sending troops to fight, he also begged for peace.

Now Yan Zhan was blind and was so happy that he was not touched at all. He also knew in his heart that the ministers in the court were fighting with him for patience, and everyone was spending all of them, just waiting to see who bowed his head first, and the left and right were all dealing with money!

Yan Zhan knew in his heart, and the ministers also understood in his heart, but Empress Xia didn't understand. Although Xia's eyes were full of glory, they were all flowers and moon in the mirror, and the snares were just some details, but they did not touch the main trunk of the big tree in Daning.

The bosses in the court may not know what they knew. Xia urged his party members to submit a series of memorials, asking the queen to raise money from all officials. But all officials pretended to be deaf and dumb. Seeing a group of clowns jumping, they were just laughing like a slutty shaking a tree.

Empress Xia was forced to summon Mu Hongluan to the palace again.

"Have you ever told the meaning of this palace to Duke Pu Guo in front of you?"

Mu Hongluan nodded,

"The queen's words were conveyed to her father-in-law. Her father-in-law also knew that the queen was in a difficult situation. She heard that the frontline war was urgent, and she couldn't help but feel even more worried. She said to her father-in-law, that is, a man can't become a family first and then start a career, that is, the second prince cannot be the prince, but he wants to get married..."
