"Why is it so busy in front?"
Mu Nanxi looked at the blocked street in front of her, wondering in her heart.
Linglong hurriedly said: "Princess, why don't I go and investigate."
She was too afraid that the princess would rush into the crowd out of curiosity and provoke a scoundrel back.
"Go ahead."
With Mu Nanxi's permission, Linglong carefully squeezed her way into the crowd, using her little fleshy hands to push away those who blocked her sight one by one, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze her way to the front of the crowd.
She looked up and saw an imperial list posted on the bulletin board, with the emperor's edict written on it.
"You think the Li family is in charge, is there really a doctor willing to enter the palace to diagnose and treat the empress's nemesis?"
"Shhh! You should be careful! Be careful of someone who cares about you and tells you that you are slandering the royal family."
"Speaking of this, I saw it with my own eyes a few days ago! The people of King Zhenbei beat the nephew of the current queen until his nose was black and his face was swollen, and he was still shouting in front of the house!"
"I also heard that it was the young master of the Li family who molested the princess, so he was punished."
The onlookers were talking a lot.
Linglong silently wrote down the contents on the imperial list, then once again pushed aside the onlookers and returned to Mu Nanxi.
"Princess, there is a royal list posted in front. Everyone is joining in the fun, so they are gathered around there."
"Imperial list? What does it say?"
"It is said that Huang Guifei, the favorite of the official family, has been unable to eat for some reason in recent days. The official family has posted a list of people seeking medical treatment. If Huang Guifei can be cured, a reward of one hundred taels will be given."
"Huang Guifei? Is there a reward of a hundred taels?"
Here comes the opportunity to make money!
It's really hard to find anywhere without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
"Go and pick up the imperial list for me. Let's go into the palace and treat Concubine Huang!" Mu Nanxi held her waist with one hand and pointed in the direction of the imperial list with one hand.
"Princess, you must not do this!"
"Wouldn't the Princess's actions be resented by the Empress? The Empress and Huang Guifei have been in tit-for-tat for a long time, and the Empress has all-pervasive eyes and ears. If she learns that the Princess has treated Huang Guifei, won't she be resented by the Princess?"
Mu Nanxi chuckled and asked, "Where did you hear all this?"
Linglong looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I just heard what the onlookers said in front."
Mu Nanxi understood.
"Doesn't it mean that no one dares to compete with me for this gold? Then we should do business first and then reveal the emperor's list."
Linglong was speechless and could not stop the princess, so she could only follow Mu Nanxi to Qingru Garden.
Seeing that it was his master, the concierge hurriedly welcomed him in.
As soon as Mu Nanxi and Linglong entered Qingru Garden, they saw Jiang Mei ordering tea in the pavilion. She saw her from a distance and hurriedly came forward to greet her.
"The princess is finally here. I have been waiting for a long time and thought she had found a more suitable person." Jiang Mei said with a smile.
"I've been busy lately because I have been busy at home, so I'm a little late." Mu Nanxi sat down in the pavilion, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. She praised in surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang's tea-ordering skills to be so good." So superb!”
"The princess has won the prize. In order to sell it at a good price, she is always forced to learn these things." Jiang Mei said with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Seeing Jiang Mei secretly feeling sad, Mu Nanxi quickly changed the subject and mentioned Mu Qing.
"This is Mu Qing's route map for going back to his hometown every day. The approximate time to each place is also written on the side. At that time, you will appear in front of his carriage pretending to be a frail little lady who has died and has nowhere to rely on. He will In order to gain a good reputation, he will definitely come forward to settle you, so it is logical that you can have further contact with him..."
Mu Nanxi had a few more words with Jiang Mei in detail, and then left Qingru Garden with Linglong on the pretext of something else.
After walking a few steps away, Linglong asked curiously in a low voice: "Where did the princess get the route map of Duke Jingguo?"
Mu Nanxi pouted and said, "Isn't this simple? Just bribe Rong Fei with two pieces of cheese!"
Linglong suddenly realized that it could still be like this, but there was another thing that had puzzled her for a long time. After struggling for a long time, she finally asked: "Why did the princess want to give a concubine to Duke Jingguo? Wouldn't the princess's mother be angry?"
"I just hate them for leaving me outside for so many years, and I want to teach them a lesson." Mu Nanxi just found an excuse to fool him. After all, what Duke Jing Guo and the others did was considered a serious crime of bullying the emperor. The real situation is that the fewer people there are The better you know.
"Then are we going to reveal the emperor's list next?"
"For Jiang Mei to enter the Jingguo Duke's Palace, we need the nod of an important person. We have to go to the Jingguo Duke's Palace. Anyway, the duck with its mouth cannot fly. It will be the same if the list is unveiled tomorrow."
The master and servant came to Mu's mansion non-stop and asked to see Mrs. Mu.
It was evening and the sky was getting dark.
Mrs. Mu was reciting sutras in the Buddhist hall, and it was a surprise to hear that Princess Zhenbei suddenly returned home and wanted to say hello to her.
When she returned to the main hall of the courtyard, Mu Nanxi was already waiting in the hall.
Mu Nanxi heard the footsteps and turned around to say hello: "Grandma Jin An."
"Get up. You are now the princess of Zhenbei Palace. I am afraid that I will have to bow to you due to etiquette."
Mu Nanxi hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Mu, smiled at her, and helped her walk to the main seat and sit down.
"What did grandma say? Grandma is the hero of the Mu family. Without grandma, how could the Mu family be so prosperous today! It's all because of granddaughter that her granddaughter can marry into the palace! So since the day when granddaughter returned to the house, granddaughter I am determined to be filial to you!"
Mu Nanxi said with a smile, her eyes full of sincerity.
"You grew up in the countryside and are well versed in etiquette. Your father's painstaking care of you is not in vain." Mrs. Mu patted Mu Nanxi's hand and said slowly.
"My granddaughter has something happy to tell grandma when she comes back this time." Mu Nanxi lowered her voice and said in Mrs. Mu's ear.
"Oh? What's the happy event?"
Mu Nanxi whispered in Mrs. Mu's ear, "My granddaughter is pregnant."
Linglong, who was standing aside, heard her princess's words clearly, and her head buzzed with shock and she almost fainted.
A few days after the princess entered the palace as a newlywed, she was bought to serve the princess.
The princess had just given birth to a baby half a month ago. She had been sleeping in a separate hospital with the prince for the past half month. How could she be pregnant?
The princess often travels late at night, it can’t be!
It couldn't be that the princess cuckolded the prince!
After hearing this, Mrs. Mu's expression didn't change much. She just laughed softly and said, "This is a good thing. The baby is not sitting firmly in the first few months, so be careful."
Mu Nanxi nodded obediently and continued: "My father only has two daughters, me and Sister Jing. The prince and I discussed that if this child is a brother, the child will be recorded in the name of the father, and he will also be considered the father." There’s a future, isn’t it?”
Mu Nanxi's words were like a fire, instantly igniting the anger deep in Mrs. Mu's heart.
Mrs. Mu became furious, pointed at Mu Nanxi and cursed: "Get out of here!"
"The glory and dignity of my Mu family cannot tolerate your comment! It is not your turn to be humiliated by a wild girl!"
"Your father is still young. Even if there is no son to inherit the family business in the future, he will never adopt someone else's child to bring shame to the Mu family, and let others laugh at the Mu family behind their back until they die!"
Mu Nanxi pretended to cry in grievance, her eyes showed a pitiful look, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.
"How could grandma miss me so much? I also thought about my mother being the only one in my father's courtyard and having nothing to do for so many years, so I was worried about my father!"
"My father had the title of Duke of Jingguo but no corresponding real power. The huge Duke of Jingguo had to rely on his father to work in the court alone to gain a foothold in the capital's family. After a hundred years of his father's life, my mother had the help of the Liu family, but Duke Jingguo The government really has no successors, so it is at the end of its rope!"
Mu Nanxi's every word struck Mrs. Mu's heartstrings hard.
Mrs. Mu had to admit that what Mu Nanxi said was right. This was also what she had been most worried about.
But his son was controlled so hard by Mrs. Liu that he would not take concubines or support other wives.
The Duke of Jingguo is about to lose! She worked so hard to raise such an outstanding son, but she had no successor!
Mrs. Mu was furious and so angry that the maids and women waiting around her panicked. However, the old woman who was following her calmed down a little and immediately ordered: "Go and ask for the doctor! Let him go again." Invite Mr. Lang to the front yard!"
Mu Nanxi took out the silver needle that had been carried in her arms for a long time. Before the female envoys around Mrs. Mu could react, the needle pricked the person and woke her up.
Mrs. Mu took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes to see Mu Nanxi standing in front of her, her anger rising again.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Since grandma doesn't want to see her granddaughter, then granddaughter will retreat now." Mu Nanxi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, blessed her body, lowered her head and retreated.
As soon as he left Duke Jingguo's mansion, Mu Nanxi sniffed and stood up straight.
"Princess..." Linglong hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Slave, do you know when the princess became pregnant?"
"Ah? Of course you lied to them."
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest in false alarm.
"Then why did the princess lie to Mrs. Mu?"
"Do you understand the method of stimulating generals?" Mu Nanxi returned to the palace in a good mood with her hands behind her back.
Next, we just sit back and wait for the show in Duke Jingguo’s Mansion to begin.
The sun sets and rises again, shops on both sides of the street have opened one after another, and there is an endless stream of people.
Mu Nanxi walked through the busy streets and came to the place where the imperial list was posted yesterday.
Today, the notice board was deserted. She looked at the notice board effortlessly and saw notices with official seals posted on them.
Mu Nanxi quickly stepped forward, confirmed the content on the notice, and then tore it down.
When the soldier next to the notice board saw this, he hurried forward and scolded in an unhappy tone: "Which little lady is here to cause trouble! This is a notice from the government to seek medical treatment for Concubine Huang, nothing else!" He said, He bowed his hands in the direction of the palace.
