029 Kunshan Jade
Hongqi was born in the countryside. Naturally, she has seen very few things. She doesn't understand that it is natural to pursue fame and fortune in the world.
Murong Qingruo just smiled and said to her, "Anyway, since they love to fight, let them fight. We just need to watch the tiger fight across the mountain. This matter is absolutely not involved."
She made up her mind not to get in, but when she remembered the note, she always felt that something was vaguely wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally made a decision, which was to go to the Duke of Wei at night and ask him what was going on.
At night, everything is quiet between heaven and earth.
Murong Qinglu deliberately pretended to go to bed early. In the middle of the night, she saw that the maids and eunuchs in the palace were basically asleep, and only a few little maids on duty were still taking a nap there.
She coughed gently, and the little maid didn't respond at all.
She immediately changed into a night clothes and walked out of the window.
After she used her light skills and went out, she came to the Shanggong Bureau.
She knew that Eunuch Wei was in the Shanggong Bureau. After arriving at the Shanggong Bureau, she found that there were many houses here, and she was not sure which one was the room of Eunuch Wei, so she couldn't help frowning.
At this time, she suddenly found that there was a room with the light on. She intuitively told her that this must be the Duke of Wei. Maybe the Duke of Wei had been waiting for her there for a long time.
So he no longer hesitated, came to the front of the house, gently knocked on the door, and then hid aside.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Mr. Wei coming out with a smile on his face.
Grandpa Wei whispered, "Since you have come, why don't you come out to meet?"
Murong Qinglu came out just now.
Murong Qingluo is still wearing night clothes. She doesn't want to be discovered by Duke Wei at this time. After all, it is not clear whether Duke Wei is an enemy or a friend.
Euch Wei looked at her with a smile and said, "I had expected that the crown princess would visit at night, so I had ordered the princess's favorite Japanese incense early in the morning. I waited for the crown princess here. The princess really came."
After hearing Mr. Wei say this, she was slightly stunned and finally nodded and said to him, "Yes, I'm Murong Qinglu. I want to ask you something. How do you know I will come? Also, who are you and why do you know everything about me?
"My name is Wei Zijin, and the people here call me Duke Wei. I'm just a little person who is not famous. It's just that there are some things that we don't fit to talk about here. The princess, please come in with me. As he spoke, he pointed to the room.
There have always been a lot of people in this palace. If you are accidentally seen by others talking here, I'm afraid something will happen.
Murong Qinglu hesitated for a moment and followed him in.
It was indeed the kind of Japanese ginseng fragrance she loved. Now she finally believes that Duke Wei is from Murong Mengze. Otherwise, how could she know that she likes Japanese ginseng incense?
Even Murong Yunyi didn't know about this kind of Japanese ginseng fragrance. The only person she knew was that she used to like very much, but she sent her to this Yunhuang country, that is, the Murong Mengze she used to like.
After she walked in, she looked at the Duke of Wei, and there was still a trace of vigilance in her eyes.
When Grandpa Wei saw that she was so nervous, he got up and said to her, "Since the crown princess has come to me, you don't have to be so reserved. Put it down. I'm definitely not a bad person."
After saying this, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing him seems to be very elegant and not as nervous as an ordinary eunuch, which makes Murong Qinglu feel very strange.
Murong Qinglu hesitated for a long time before he said to him slowly, "Mr. Wei, if I guess correctly, you should be a masterpiece of the Mingjing Kingdom, don't you?"
"Not bad." He immediately admitted and said, "I am indeed a masterpiece of the Mirror Kingdom, and I have been here to do it for more than 20 years."
Seeing that he was so frank, Murong Qinglu was a little surprised. She said, "You are like this. Just tell me your true identity. Aren't you afraid that I will tell others?"
"Of course, I'm not afraid. The eldest prince said that only you are trustworthy, so that I can completely trust you and tell you anything."
Murong Qinglu nodded, and couldn't help asking him and said, "Is he all right, big brother?"
"The eldest prince?" Euke Wei shook his head and said, "It's not good."
"It's not good, why?" She still couldn't help caring about that person. Obviously, she had told herself countless times not to think about anything about that person, but when it came to an end, she finally couldn't help thinking about it again.
"It's really not very good. I won't hide it from the crown princess. The crown princess must know better than me what the prince wants. However, he wants it but never gets it. Do you think he can be in a good mood?
"Why can't you get it? As far as I know, others may not be his opponent."
"Yes, others are indeed not his opponents, but sometimes they have to face such embarrassment when their identity is there."
After listening to the words of Duke Wei, she finally understood what was going on.
In fact, this matter is very simple. It is because Murong Mengze's background is not good, so he can't get the identity and status that matches his talent. No wonder the Wei Gong Guild is so impressed.
She continued to ask, "Is the note you sent to me all according to his meaning?"
"It's all according to his meaning. I absolutely dare not forge such a note for you. Don't worry, Princess Qinglu."
"I don't understand. At the beginning, he asked me to come here as a women's room. He asked me to inquire about every move here so that I could report to him. Now why he suddenly did this, let me help Prince Shangyin ascend the throne and help Prince Shangyin ascend the throne. What's the benefit to him? For our Mirror Kingdom What's the advantage of it?"
"There are a lot of benefits." Eunuch Wei smiled. He casually found three bead hairpins and put them in front of Murong Qinglu. One of these three bead hairpins was made of gold, one was made of silver, and the other was made of extremely precious stones.
He smiled and said to Murong Qinglu, "Our family is not talented. There is a saying that dares to ask the princess."
Murong Qinglu hesitated for a moment and said to him, "You can ask!"
"I want to ask the princess, these three bead pins, which one is the most valuable?"
Murong Qingqi said without thinking, "Naturally, diamond bead hairpin is the most valuable."
"And which one is the cheapest?"
"Naturally, silver beaded pins are the cheapest."
"It's very simple. It's like the battle for the throne of three people in Yunhuang Kingdom today. Now there is a throne in Yunhuang Kingdom, but three people want to be emperors. The pilgrim king is like a pearl made of diamonds, which is extremely precious, because he has military power in his hand. If he becomes emperor, the Yunhuang Kingdom will become more and more difficult to deal with in the future. And this person has always brag about himself and does whatever it takes to achieve his goal. In addition, he is always resourceful. If one day we Mingjing and Yunhuang are enemies, you think it is a blessing or a misfortune for us to meet such an emperor.
Although Murong Qinglu doesn't want to admit it, she has no choice but to admit it.
She said slowly, "Of course it's unfortunate."
Yes. Next, let me tell you about the Evergreen King. The Evergreen King is like this golden pearl. The military power in his hand is indeed not much, but he is very talented. If a talented person like him is the emperor, it is still very easy to take care of a well. You said that if the power of Yunhuang Kingdom is comparable to that of our Mirror Kingdom, if we want to attack them, will there be no opportunity to take advantage of them?
"Not bad." Although Murong Qinglu felt that his metaphor was a little nondescript, he had to admit that what he said was very reasonable.
He continued to say to Murong Qingqi, "Next is this silver bead hairpin. Who am I describing with this silver bead hairpin? Presumably, the princess, you know very well. Murong Shangyin originally grew up in the mountains and is not clear about the world. Moreover, after he entered the palace for so long, what he does every day is nothing more than eating, drinking and playing. He has no intention to govern the country at all. If such a person is allowed to become emperor, in less than three years, the world will definitely be at your fingertips. For our Mingjing Kingdom Do you think it's a big happy event?
"That's right. It's really a happy event." Murong Qinglu once again agreed with what he said.
Murong Qingruo finally knew why Murong Mengze did this.
Murong Mengze is still so smart. He will always be the top planner, and for him, others are just a pawn in his palm, and even himself is one of his pawns.
Although she doesn't want to admit it, there is no way not to admit this fact.
But his calculation and planning are really reasonable. If he does this, it can really be of great benefit to the Mirror.
She thought for a long time before she said slowly, "I think the eldest prince praises me too much. I'm just a little girl. I'm afraid it's a little difficult for me to assist Prince Shangyin to ascend the throne. Euke Wei has been in the palace for so long. There must be no good way for Euke Wei. It's not necessarily, isn't it?
After saying that, Murong Qinglu raised his head and looked at Grandpa Wei, hoping to find any answer from him.
Eunuch Wei shook his head helplessly and said to her, "In fact, the eldest prince does not want to expose my identity as a spy here anyway. However, I am really at a loss about this matter, so the eldest prince also ordered me to hand over this matter to Princess Qinglu. Do it. In fact, how can we not know that this matter is very tricky? After all, Prince Shangyin now has nothing but the position of a prince. However, whether it is the evergreen king or the pilgrimage king, they are better than him. At least the pilgrim king has an army in his hand, and he can naturally speak with the military power in his hand. Although there are not many armies in the hands of the Evergreen King, after all, he has been very talented. Over the years, he has been working wholeheartedly for the Yunhuang Kingdom, which is very famous in the hearts of the people. If he became the emperor, although he is not the emperor's biological son, I believe that the people will also cheer. Only Prince Shang Yin, it is too difficult to want him to be emperor.
After saying this, he couldn't help but take a breath and said, "This Shangyin prince has no talent, no virtue, and no merit. It is undoubtedly difficult to make such a person emperor. I don't know if Princess Qinglu has a countermeasure?
After listening to him, Murong Qingluo couldn't help sneering and said, "It turned out that the eldest brother sent me a task that was completely impossible to complete. Just tell the eldest brother and say that Murong Qinglu can't complete the task he assigned. Let him find another master.
After saying that, Murong Qingluo stood up and got up to leave.
At this time, Eunuch Wei had already called her. Eunuch Wei went to the cabinet in front of him, quickly found a fast jade pendant in the cabinet and handed it to her, and said to her, "This jade pendant was brought to you by the eldest prince. This jade pendant is made of the best Kunshan jade. The eldest prince said that you have always had angina pectoris, if It is to carry this jade pendant on your body, which must be good for your body. The eldest prince also specially ordered that if you don't want it, you don't have to force it.
After listening to his words, Murong Qinglu's heart suddenly became a little unspeakable.
Those feelings suddenly came to her heart, making it difficult for her to control for a while.
When did Murong Mengze say this to her? Murong Mengze once said to her with great concern. He said, "Qinglu, you have angina pectoris. If you can wear a good Kunshan jade on the mountain, it will always be helpful for this problem." So for many years, he has been helping her find a good one. Kunshan jade. He looked for a lot for her, but every time he gave her a piece, soon after, he would send a better one. In this way, the two of them came and went, and they couldn't help sending it for five or six years. Every time he sent Kunshan jade, it would be better. It really had a little effect on Murong Qinglu's angina pectoris. I'm afraid more of the effect is to appease Murong Qinglu's heart. Whenever he got his Kunshan jade, Murong Qinglu's heart was Sweet, but now I never dreamed that when this piece of Kunshan jade was sent, she had come to the Yunhuang Kingdom and became the nominal wife of Prince Shangyin.
She couldn't help sighing, but finally she couldn't resist the Kunshan jade**.
