Chapter 279
After seeing off his second cousin's family, Mu Yun handed the sign to the palace, asking to see the second prince Yuankang. When Yuankang received the news, he was paying tribute to Shan Jingyan in the Cining Palace. When he saw the eunuch handing over the post, he said in surprise: "I don't know why Mrs. Wen suddenly asked to see me?"
Shan Jingyan glanced at the post and pondered: "You Aunt Mu Yun has always been sensible. Since she asked you to see you, maybe you have something to ask for. Then you can just take it as long as it is not out of order. Since your grandfather left, your three uncles and two older uncles have been sent to a remote place to serve. Your younger uncle is not old enough and is just a scholar. If your family had not been relying on your Aunt Mu Yun's husband for help, they would have been unable to hold on. Moreover, their family has been implicated by our family and demoted from Beijing, and they will set off soon. In the future, you and your brother should respect them more."
The twins of the eldest prince and the second prince perfectly inherited their mother's intelligence and wisdom. After listening to the mother's words, the second prince's eyes rolled and his heart was already calculating.
By chance, Muyun entered the palace the next day, just as he met the mother and daughter of the De'an County Lord.
Mu Yun rolled his eyes secretly in his heart: What a bad fate!
Now that she is still in the filial piety period, although Miss Yue is wearing a plain outfit, after some careful look, you can see that her outfit has definitely put a lot of effort into it.
Mu Yun glanced at the mother and daughter, and glanced at her in her heart, but she bowed and greeted her respectfully as usual.
The De'an County Lord was angry with Mu Yun. Without giving her a look, he walked straight ahead of Mu Yun. However, Miss Yue stopped and greeted Mu Yun with a smile: "Did Mrs. Wen come to the palace to pay tribute to the Queen? But this doesn't look like the way to Cining Palace?"
Mu Yun replied politely: "The Empress is resting now, and we can't bother you without permission if you have nothing to do. I'm going to Jingyu Palace to pay my respects to His Highness the Second Prince."
Miss Yue was also very polite: "So that's the case, so we won't waste Mrs. Wen's time." As she said that, she glanced at her mother who had already walked to the front and smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, my mother has been a little hot and has a bad temper these days. If there is any rudeness, please don't take it to heart."
Mu Yun smiled faintly: "Miss Yue was joking. Lingtang was filled with royal blood. It was normal not to take people like me seriously. It doesn't matter whether they are rude or rude. It's just that autumn is dry. Since the county lord is not in good health, it's better to stay at home more. Otherwise, the palace is full of noble people with noble status. If you bump into someone more noble than the county lord, wouldn't you cause trouble?"
Although Mu Yun's tone was gentle, the meaning in his words was not soft at all! Miss Yue thought that Mrs. Wen looked easy to speak, and she apologized for her mother, she should have exposed the matter. Unexpectedly, she would speak so disrespectfully.
Miss Yue also grew up with a spoiled look at home. She was naturally extremely angry when she heard Mu Yun’s soft knife. She also knew that it was not a place where she could do anything wild in this palace, but she couldn’t help but sting: “Mrs. Wen’s smart appearance is really different from her usual gentleness and kindness.”
Seeing that Miss Yue's always dignified and quiet appearance was torn by herself, Mu Yun was in a good mood. He looked at her calmly, and his lips raised slightly: "I can't bear to be Miss Yue's words, and I dare not show off in front of the girl."
"Madam Wen is too bullying..." Miss Yue was really annoyed this time. Seeing that her daughter seemed to have suffered a loss, the lord of De'an County over there hurriedly walked over here.
At this time, a group of people turned from another palace road, and the leader was Concubine Xue.
When Mu Yun and others saw the visitor, they quickly bowed their heads to greet them. The arrogant county lord De'an and the extremely embarrassed Miss Yue returned to their usual dignity this time. Mu Yun felt funny in his heart. He was really worthy of being a mother and daughter, and his skill in changing faces was first-class.
Concubine Xue politely asked them to get up and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, why did you meet each other?"
As he said that, Concubine Xue said to Mu Yun, "I just met the second prince at the Empress Dowager's place. He said that you are going to enter the palace today, so I went back to my palace early and waited for you. I haven't seen Mrs. Wen for a long time. The road to Jingyu Palace is just a stretch with my Yufu Palace. Mrs. Wen might as well be with me, so how can we talk?"
Mu Yun hurriedly smiled and said, "With the Empress Thanks for the invitation, the wife of the Concubine Xie was naturally as the Concubine wanted." As he said that, Mu Yun nodded to the mother and daughter of De'an County Majesty with a smile on his face, and then walked to Concubine Xue and left with her. Only the mother and daughter of De'an County Majesty were left angry in the same place.
After walking a few steps, Mu Yun saw that the mother and daughter of De'an County Magistrate were much further away, and smiled and said, "Thanks to the Empress Dowager who helped the wife to help her escape, otherwise she wouldn't know what would happen?"
Concubine Xue glanced at the backs of the mother and daughter of De'an County Master, and said disdainfully: "I was the first emperor who served after entering the palace on the day. I never dared to take a step further before being officially selected. This Yue family girl is too unreserved, so I look down on such a person."
"We concubines in the harem are just looking at the face that the new emperor likes her. The Empress Dowager is the same. Anyway, even if she enters the palace, she is just a concubine in the side position. As long as she doesn't have a big shot, the Empress Dowager will never turn a blind eye. But the mother and daughter still treat others as fools, thinking that her little thoughts cannot be seen by others. They are used to pretending to be a noble person who is dusty all day long. Who should I scare? Even if I want to be... that person wants to set up a archway, how can there be such a beautiful thing?" Concubine Xue complained about the mother and daughter of the De'an County Magistrate.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun couldn't help laughing. Concubine Xue glanced at her: "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"
Mu Yun hurriedly said, "That's not the case. My wife just thought that after so many years, the concubine was still as straightforward as before."
After hearing Mu Yun's words, Concubine Xue also remembered what happened before. She shook her head and smiled, "Yes, I was too straightforward at the time and made things difficult for others, who have no grudges or grudges. I was so stupid at that time. But now I haven't become very smart. This temperament is born, and no matter how you cover it up, it will always reveal some traces."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "The Concubine is much more transparent now. I see that the Empress looks very energetic. The Ninth Prince and Princess Leping are both sensible and well-behaved and clever people, and the Empress's blessing is still behind."
When Concubine Xue heard this, she smiled and said, "Then I will lend you auspicious words. I heard that Mrs. Wen is about to travel far away. I have prepared a few gifts for you and some for your girl. I will let the palace servants deliver them to Jingyu Palace later."
Mu Yun paused and refused: "The Concubine is too polite, there is no need to do this. In this situation... what the Concubine said before is probably going to be empty." In this situation, the emperor would not allow the Shan family or the ones close to the Shan family to have another princess.
Concubine Xue patted her hands: "I understand...but I really like your sister Nuan. I have my responsibility for this matter. Unfortunately, these two children are not destined to be together after all."
After all, Mu Yun felt regretful in this matter. She could understand Concubine Xue’s choice. Concubine Xue and his son are now living with the grace of the emperor. How could she dare to let her son marry a daughter of a family that the emperor didn’t like as her daughter-in-law?
In this situation, Mu Yun was already very relieved without deliberately alienating herself.
After parting with Concubine Xue, Mu Yun went to Jingyu Palace.
When Yuankang heard her purpose, he was actually a little surprised. He thought Mu Yun had something to do to ask him for help. Unexpectedly, Mu Yun proposed to give him the most profitable Liuli Shop.
This shop is the most profitable shop for Aunt Muyun, and he also knows most of the profits in it.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Kang refused without thinking: "Why should aunt do this? If you are worried that after you go to Minhai, there will be no one to take care of the shop, I can help you take care of it, and there is really no need to do this. I often help my mother manage the glass shop business and know how profitable it is. My mother has already obtained your glass shop. If I accept your glass shop again, what are we going to do?"
Mu Yun was relieved when she heard him say this, and she advised, "Oh~ Your Highness must know the situation at our family now. To be honest, there are not one or two people staring at this shop, but I really don't want to spend so much effort on the shop to make those villains free. Since that's the case, it's better to give it to Your Highness. It's also my aunt who gives Your Highness some pocket money. Your Highness just accept it."
Yuankang still refused. Later, Aunt Liu Lu, who was sent by Shan Jingyan to help Mu Yun, said, "Your Highness, since it is Mrs. Wen who sincerely gave it to you, please accept it, otherwise Mrs. Wen will not be at ease. Anyway, everyone is a family. If Your Highness feels guilty, you can find an opportunity to make up for it in the future."
...
Speaking of the mother and daughter of De'an County, they suffered a great loss at Mu Yun in the palace. The Lord of De'an County was naturally resentful, so after leaving the palace, he immediately went to Princess Xihua's mansion. Princess Xihua was the same as the late emperor, and she was the aunt of the new emperor. Even the empress dowager and the new emperor would give her some decent taste. However, her husband's family has been growing over the years and the family business has become increasingly declining. Princess Xihua has been doing many things to seize for a few beloved grandchildren in recent years. Therefore, when the Lord of De'an County encouraged her, she became interested.
Now he heard from the De'an County Lord that Mrs. Wen went to the palace to find a backer, and sneered. She was the eldest princess at least, but after all, she was the eldest princess, but when she fell in love with such a shop, the Wen Qiao family was still pushing her back like this, and she was not afraid of money. She was really shameless. Princess Xihua immediately sent someone to call her most beloved grandson and whispered to him.
Princess Xihua's husband's surname is Chen, and this most favored grandson is at home. He is also well-known among the playboys in the capital on weekdays, and is called "Master Chen Wu". Chen Wu does a lot of things to take advantage of others on weekdays. After hearing his grandmother's orders, he patted his chest and responded: "Don't worry, grandmother, grandson will definitely help grandmother with this breath." After that, Chen Wu went out with great courage.
The De'an County Lord saw these and smiled and said, "The eldest princess is good at training. Look how clever and sensible our five young masters are."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xihua waved her hand and said, "This child is just a little smart, but he is the most caring person in daily life. He is the most filial to me and is better than him."
The maid next to him quickly complimented: "That's not it! Our fifth young master is the most filial to the eldest princess. He knows that the eldest princess likes peony the most. That time, he saw an excellent Yao Huang in the garden of Duke Liguo. After much quarrel, he finally asked for it, just to win our princess with a smile."
After hearing this, the De'an County Lord was speechless. It seemed that it was an old thing that had been several years. I don't know how many times I said this, but her ears were a little callused when she heard it. But she still needed Princess Xihua's knife to teach the Wen Qiao a lesson, so she still endured the tickling smile in her heart, "I have heard of this, and the fifth young master is really filial."
