Chapter 127 After the fall
In March of Taining, Xiao He gave birth to a strong baby girl in Mufu. He was very disappointed, but the shepherd was very happy. Shen Taijun personally named his great-granddaughter. Because of the time of the Yuan Dynasty in March, Mu Biwei knew it and ordered Ah Shan to go back to have a look and gave him a lot of rewards. You made an appointment. When the mother is full moon, Xiao He will take charge of the family again, and Shen Taijun will take Mu Long into the palace to meet Mu Biwei's nephew.
At the end of the month, the carefully selected picking girls began to move into the Suihuu Palace one after another, waiting for Ji Shen to see and decide to stay in person. This group of picking girls, who came down to the most popular families, are between 13 and 20 years old, are all healthy and sound children. Although the six palaces did not go to see it in person for the shelf, they all He sent his confidants to the Suihu Palace to inquire, and each had his own calculations.
At the beginning of April, Yedu had a continuous drizzle. Although Yedu was located in the north and always came late in spring, the meaning of spring flowers were also very strong at this time. The pond in the Chenglian Hall became clearer and clearer, the green trees beside the pool was fluffy, and the air was full of fresh spring. Mu Bi stood slightly on the corridor and looked across the other bank. Seeing Ge Nuo holding an umbrella attentively, he led Nie Yuansheng along the shore of the pool.
Because he often entered the palace, Nie Yuansheng did not wear official clothes, but wore dark clothes. He was made of pure black, black hair and jade crowns, and his feet stepped on wooden c logs. He walked with wide sleeves, without the smell of fireworks, setting off the green trees beside him and drizzle. Looking at him walking calmly, it was like a picture scroll. It was really a kind of Pleasant enjoyment.
Mu Biwei unconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth and thought that it was no wonder that the person who established a dynasty in troubled times like Emperor Gaozu was also confused by Ji Shen when choosing the crown prince. When he was a good man, it can be seen that everyone knows that he is biased by appearance, but he can't help being affected by this appearance.
Her smile was not over. Nie Yuansheng had arrived in front of her and saluted gracefully: "See Mrs. Xuanhui!"
"Why do you have to be polite?" Mu Bi raised her hand slightly and said, "Get up quickly."
"Thank you." Because there were outsiders, the two followed the etiquette. Nie Yuansheng stood up at this moment. Mu Biwei looked left and right. Ge Nuo, Ashan and others retreated down the corridor and waited with umbrellas in the distance. In the rain, only two people stood opposite each other in the corridor.
Nie Yuansheng smiled lowly: "It's also beneficial to lead this job of selecting new people. At least if you want to see me, there is also a reason in the daytime."
"Thank you for that one." Mu Bi said slightly, "He didn't think it was jealousy. After listening to it, the concubine bribed you - I thought I had to get a few words of reprimand last time."
"You are wrong. How can he not think it's jealousy?" Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "It's just that he thinks he is very proud. Many flower-like concubines love him and value him, so they are jealous. This is his favorite. As long as it's not too over and a little jealous, how can he count it?"
Mu Bi said anly, "Even so, you and I can't see each other every day. Why should we talk about him again?"
"If you don't ask me to come today, I will try to find you." Hearing this, Nie Yuansheng said righteously, "The person I'm waiting for has arrived!"
Hearing this, Mu Biwei couldn't help but be refreshed and asked, "But did you find it directly at your door?"
"Not only did you find it directly on my door, but also gave me a gift that in addition to the expected golden beads and jade, there is one thing you can't imagine." Nie Yuansheng's smile was unfathomable.
Mu Bi's eyes turned slightly and narrowed her eyes: "Is it that the Empress Qiu of Southern Qi pity that you are still alone, and this time she has to work hard for the affairs of Nanqi, so Tete sent a beautiful woman with the messenger to help you read at night with red sleeves?"
How can't Nie Yuansheng hear this question? He immediately said, "How can it be! What a beauty, is there less than my Beiliang? Do you still need him to send it thousands of miles away? Not to mention that the messenger of Qiuhou didn't do this, but he gave it away. I'd rather ask him to replace him with the pearl and gold of beauty..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his feet, but Mu Bi slightly lifted his skirt, stepped on his foot hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Then you can buy what you like?"
"Of course not!" Nie Yuansheng grinned with pain, but because there were waiters watching outside the corridor, he had to calm down and look at the rain. He whispered coldly, "Did you deliberately grind the bottom?"
Mu Bi glanced at him: "No, it's just that you were unlucky to be stepped on the pain!"
Nie Yuansheng immediately defended himself and said, "When can I be stepped on? I mean, don't I have a good heart?"
"What did Queen Qiu send?" Mu Bi was slightly alert and said, "Don't tell me that she wants you to laugh at the Princess Shanfu!"
"I am a scholar, a six-grade official, who has little to do with the royal bloodline. Not to mention the Shanfu princess from the favorite concubine of the Southern Qi Dynasty, that is, the Princess Tongchang, who is not liked by the Empress Dowager Beiliang and was almost forgotten by the previous dynasty, is not my turn." Nie Yuansheng said seriously, "And it has been vicissitudes of the sea. Why confuse the water? The princess is capable, and it's not what I want!"
Mu Biwei said happily, "I love to hear this. You can say a few more words."
"With Wei Niang, how can I tolerate the woman next to me? I think it's good for you. The women next to you are always deficient than you, but God doesn't want to play with people. Now we can't stay together for a long time, but we have to live step by step. Nie Yuan said sweet words before his death, but then he sighed sadly, and Mu Biwei couldn't help but be silent.
I only heard the sound of the rain. After a moment, Mu Biwei said, "Don't sell it. What on earth did Queen Qiu's messenger give you? Is it worth coming to tell me so specially?"
"Her handwritten book and queen Fengyin gave me a promise." When Nie Yuansheng heard this, he no longer pretended to be mysterious and smiled indifferently, "If I help her solve the matter of Princess Shanfu this time, if one day I can't live in Beiliang and go to Southern Qi, she can help me change my name and surname according to the situation, or even a title, and I will enjoy the rest of my wealth and noble life."
"The queen's seal has been added to the handwriting. Even if you take it out afterwards, you are not afraid that she will not recognize it." Mu Bi raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's just that Queen Qiu was forced to this point? So even if Princess Shanfu can't be the queen of my Beiliang, I'm afraid her status as the queen of Southern Qi is not very stable, right?
Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "You didn't hear her messenger come to ask for a meeting. What did you say after seeing me? I just entered the door. After the messenger confirmed that my identity was the person he was looking for, he immediately sneered and said, "You know that you are going to be in a disaster!"
"Haha! He thought that this was the ancient era, the art of lobbying, first a shocking soul, and then took the opportunity to make people nodded unconsciously? Mu Bi listened slightly and smiled unconsciously, "Isn't this messenger reading too much "Spring and Autumn" on the way?" She asked with a smile, "Then how did you reply to him?"
"How can I bear to listen to him talk about? Then he told the messenger directly that Queen Qiu had any chips to let me estimate first. If the price is wrong, he will be in trouble on the spot!" Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "I easily persuaded Your Majesty to wait for Queen Qiu to come to beg me. This messenger came to the door and was alarmist, but he wanted me to ask him. How could it be unreasonable! If it weren't for taking the opportunity to make a fortune, just by his words - although I'm an official, I may not be able to make money and kill!"
Mu Bi smiled and said, "Then he will be honest?"
"The messenger immediately changed his attitude when he heard the words." Nie Yuansheng smiled faintly, "I thought that Queen Qiu's messenger came directly to me, but he still wanted to threaten me. He was not disappointed by Queen Qiu. He didn't expect the messenger to see that I was still, but restrained the previous alarmist words and saluted me again, saying that Queen Qiu ordered him to do so to test my posture. Du, if I look surprised and even ask him why there is a big disaster... I don't have to give me that handwritten letter.
Mu Bi listened slightly and said thoughtfully, "This Empress Qiu is a figure."
"Not bad." Nie Yuansheng looked at the rain curtain and said, "In ancient times, people traveled through various countries and lodged the princes, eight out of ten. Nine, they all took alarmist measures. Cai Ze said that Fan Sui and Gan Luo talked about Zhang Tang, and they all achieved the effect of taking the lead in this method! Which one is not a hero of Fan Sui or Zhang Tang? But they are all defeated under this law. How can they not know that the other party wants to take people first? However, because I knew the situation at that time, and the suggestion was reasonable, I obeyed and took advantage of it. Of course, this messenger was an example, but if I felt that His Majesty's trust in me was not enough, my position was unstable, or I was facing any difficulties, and I was suddenly asked by him, and my mind would definitely shaken. Then it was Queen Qiu who begged me to do things, but it became me to ask her messenger for advice... Hey hey, it was a small matter for a while. I'm afraid it was not the messenger who sent me the reward of Empress Qiu, but I was respectful and attentive to the messenger and begged him to guide me!"
He shook his head and said, "Now I wonder what ability that noble concubine can confuse Emperor Chengning to this extent? Looking at the hand of Empress Qiu alone, if Emperor Chengning is only greedy and lustful, just like His Majesty, there is a former wife such as Empress Qiu, and two legitimate sons. The direct grandsons have it, and he can actually call the first batch of southern messengers to make peace to Yedu!"
"It can be seen that the harem of Southern Qi is deeper than our Beiliang water." Mu Biwei said thoughtfully, "One of Queen Qiu's messengers, a meeting also hides sharpness. Even so, he still asked the imperial concubine Feng to coax Emperor Chengning to send messengers to Yedu - no wonder the previous messenger flew away at night, making us in Beiliang think that something big happened to Nanqi!
"If there is such a queen in our harem, I'm afraid I wouldn't be too arrogant even when Sun was spoiled!"
Don't look at the messenger's question seems to be just a small temptation, but you can see the wrist city of Nanqi. Although this question is in danger of offending Nie Yuansheng, there is a handwritten letter stamped by Empress Qiu with a phoenix seal to make up for it, but it is also equivalent to holding a handful of Nie Yuansheng without showing a trace-- On this point alone, Nie Yuansheng will also turn aversion into joy.
What's more, people in politics are proud of today's spring breeze, but who knows what the situation will be like in the future? Nie Yuansheng is not a son of the Yecheng clan. His grandfather Nie Jiezhi has passed away for a long time, and the reputation left behind is not enough to protect him safely. Moreover, he is not in harmony with the family. He also has the name of sycoons in the government and the opposition, which can be said to have an unpredictable future. Empress Qiu gave this promise, which undoubtedly told Nie Yuansheng not to do things for many times. Be tied with your hands and feet, at least psychologically, you should let go a lot!
Not only that, Empress Qiu gave this letter with a phoenix seal after the messenger tested it. The most important point was to tell Nie Yuansheng that she was not desperate to be so generous to Nie Yuansheng, but she hinted that Nie Yuansheng was very confident in herself - she was confident that Nie Yuansheng would not take this letter. Xiang Fengfei is also confident of giving Nie Yuansheng the ability to fulfill this promise, that is to say, she is very sure about her son's accession to the throne!
This makes Nie Yuansheng dare not believe in the unbridled lion to open his mouth!
It can be said that this temptation of the messenger's meeting with Nie Yuansheng alone is under the control of the autumn thousands of miles away!
Of course, Empress Qiu may also be really desperate. She urgently needs Nie Yuansheng to stop Princess Shanfu, but her messenger had previously played a trick. The two places are separated, and after autumn, she lived in the palace. Even if Nie Yuansheng personally sent someone to Nanqi to inquire about it, she may not be able to know the situation, so she wants to doubt it. I can't help but have some scruples!
And if Empress Qiu is not desperate, but wants to take this opportunity to find a cooperative person in Beiliang, the messenger's test this time is equivalent to measuring how close Nie Yuansheng, the well-known emperor's close minister - after all, Empress Qiu is far away in Southern Qi, and her power is also in Southern Qi, and she may not know the current situation of Beiliang very well. When her messenger first arrived, how could she know the rumors of the world?
So this question, since Nie Yuansheng is at easy, it means that Nie Yuansheng is extremely determined and extraordinary! Even if it is sudden sensational, it is difficult to shake his mind. Such a person cannot be regarded as an ordinary person! The other is that Nie Yuansheng's ambition may not reach the point of perfection, but his position in the court and around Ji Shen is unshakable! Therefore, he is naturally not afraid of others to threaten!
This attempt is in front of the messenger, which can't be concealed, but it is much more reliable than the news that the messenger inquired in the world...
Mu Bi sighed slightly: "Be a real female male! The so-called Yiye Zhiqiu, no wonder the noble concubine is favored and supported by the Empress Dowager, and she can't shake her position!"
