Chapter 308 The secret medicine comes true
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes, and she continued: "Later, they met at a palace banquet before Miss Ouyang's engagement. In order to be with Miss Ouyang, the Seventh Emperor... took her to eat the forbidden fruit. "
Mu Wanqing vaguely explained, "Someone happened to go to change clothes and discovered the matter. The Emperor was furious, but he had to grant the marriage out of consideration for the royal family's face."
"Then they are together?"
Jianing listened with rapt attention, and actually became sincerely concerned about the ending of the two people in the story.
Mu Wanqing smiled knowingly, "Later, the two stayed together and gave birth to a son and a daughter. They were so happy. Who in the royal family doesn't envy their relationship."
The finale where lovers finally get married.
Jianing's eyes widened when she heard this, and a strong emotion rushed to her head, but within a moment, suspicion flashed in her eyes.
"However, since Miss Ouyang observes etiquette, how can she hang out with a man before marriage? Obviously this is just a story."
Mu Wanqing laughed at her innocence, "This is not simple. Taking the palace's secret medicine is not..."
Halfway through her words, her expression suddenly changed and she hurriedly covered her mouth.
She looked around in panic, and when she saw no one, she covered her beating heart and warned.
"I'm confused too. The princess is still young, and I don't know what to say. I saw you sad and wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect that I said so many nonsense."
"Jianing, just pretend you didn't hear anything, but don't imitate them."
Jianing agreed to Mu Wanqing's advice, but she had her own ideas in mind. She bowed hastily and left.
Looking at Jianing's leaving figure, Mu Wanqing curled her lips and smiled, a shrewd light shining in her eyes.
The maid Qiu Ying beside her was very puzzled, "Miss, King Yu heard that Concubine De and the eldest princess conspired to promise Jianing to Major General Shen."
"Your Majesty was afraid that King Wu Cheng would be disadvantaged if he got help from the General's Mansion, so he asked us to go into the palace and try to stop him. Why did you really do that?"
Mu Wanqing stood by the lake, looking at her reflection in the water, arranging her makeup and hair leisurely, with a casual posture, exuding calmness and confidence, "Do you think I shouldn't listen to King Yu?"
Qiu Ying is Mu Wanqing's confidant. She knows the thoughts and plans of the young lady. The young lady always weighs the pros and cons before taking any action. However, she really didn't understand what she was doing today.
"Miss, the current situation in the court is obviously that King Wu Cheng has the upper hand. It's already this time, why do you need to help King Yu anymore?"
Mu Wanqing looked up at the majestic palace in the distance, and said leisurely: "I'm not helping King Yu, I'm helping myself."
"Xiao Chenyan has already received help from the General's Mansion by marrying Shen Ruzhou. This marriage with or without Jianing will have little impact on him."
"On my side, if I want to keep my position in front of Xiao Chenyan in the future, I can't watch the eldest princess and the princess side with Shen Ruzhou because they are married to the Shen family."
Qiu Ying suddenly understood and looked at Mu Wanqing with admiration, "Young lady sees things more clearly and thinks long term. Qiu Ying is beyond her reach."
Mu Wanqing said with a smile on her face, "Okay, now that the matter is done, let's go to the Queen's Palace. After all, we say that we are entering the palace to pay respects to the Queen. It's not good if we don't go."
She held the maid's arm and left the imperial garden.
In the Imperial Concubine's Palace, the eldest princess was leaning on the couch alone, closing her eyes and recuperating. When she heard the footsteps, she opened her eyes suddenly and saw that Jianing was back.
"I really manipulated you into being lawless. In front of Shen Ruzhou, you scolded the Shen family for not having a good person. Are you a pig?"
"Do you know that we are in need of the Shen family now? No matter how bad Shen Ruzhou is, when you become her sister-in-law, why don't you just learn from her as much as you want? You idiot!"
"I, I just don't like Shen Ruzhou's brother, and I don't want to marry into the Shen family!"
Jianing knew her mother was angry and whispered.
The eldest princess gritted her teeth, blaming herself for pampering Jianing too much, which made her become as mindless as she is now.
"If you don't want to marry into the Shen family, do you want to marry that shabby Marquis of Jing'an?"
Jianing's head suddenly shook like a rattle. She was a dignified princess, and she drank gold and jade on weekdays. How could this poor family support her? !
Xiao Jinxi's heart softened when she saw her. She pulled Jianing to sit next to her and comforted her patiently.
"Jianing, it's not that my mother is cruel and insists on forcing you to marry someone you don't like. It's just that you have a physical defect and the Duke's government will not marry you.
The Shen family is already the best husband's family that your mother can find for you.Mother really cares about you, don't worry, with mother and your uncle here, you will never be wronged in the Shen family! "
She held Jianing in her arms and stroked her head lovingly, "You are old too, you should understand your mother's painstaking efforts."
Jianing leaned obediently in Xiao Jinxi's arms, her voice choked with sobs, "Mom, there's no need to say more, I understand."
She responded respectfully on her face, but she couldn't help but curse in her heart. What kind of mother would cut her daughter's liver and have the nerve to say she feels sorry for her? It's clear that she is the only one who feels sorry for her!
She pursed her lips tightly, and there was a layer of ice in her eyes. From now on, she only planned for herself, and for the bright future of her and Qin Yu, she would risk anything!
She raised her head aggrievedly and helplessly, and said to her mother: "I heard that there is a secret medicine in the palace. Taking it can make people have sex uncontrollably. Does mother know?"
The eldest princess was shocked and looked at her daughter in her arms suspiciously and warily, "Why do you ask this?"
Jianing's ears felt extremely hot, and he whispered: "I also know that I am disabled, and I am worried that General Shen will not want to marry me, so I want to use this medicine to cook the rice. When the time comes, they will not be able to marry me even if they don't want to." .”
The eldest princess smiled happily when she heard this, "This is a good idea. This way your marriage will be confirmed, and I don't have to look at Shen Ruzhou's stinky face anymore!"
She didn't know Jianing's inner plan, thinking that she had figured it out, and happily asked someone to get the secret medicine.
Soon after the good news came back, the army returned to the court victorious. The people crowded into the streets to welcome them. The streets were empty and bustling.
The emperor sent Taifu Liu to greet him at the city gate. The sound of drums and ritual music was loud. Guards of honor were lined up from the city gate to the palace. Hundreds of civil and military officials from various ministries lined up on both sides. The scene was unprecedentedly grand.
"The general is here!"
The ceremony officer shouted loudly, and everyone looked at the city gate unconsciously. They saw General Shen, dressed in silver armor, majestically riding a tall horse and leading the army into the city gate slowly.
People on both sides knelt down and cheered.
"The general is mighty..."
"The general is loyal and righteous..."
"We sincerely welcome the general back to the city..."
