Chapter 128 Let Lu Chenshuang Go to Marry
What Lu Chenshuang didn't know was that someone had already reported what happened today to Mu Hansu.
Originally, Mu Hansu knew that Lu Chenshuang had returned to the Lu Mansion today, and he didn't want to stay in the palace, so he went to the military camp to handle affairs.
He hadn't been to the military camp for more than ten days as there were a lot of military affairs piled up. Fortunately, General Wang and his men had handled some of the daily affairs.
Only a few important things are left.
Mu Hansu concentrated on dealing with it.
But not long after, Mu Qing came quietly in to report that Lu Chenshuang had an argument with Princess Rong'an in the Treasure Pavilion.
Mu Hansu's facial expression didn't change much after hearing this.
But Mu Qing knew that the prince was in a bad mood. He had followed the prince for such a long time and had a certain understanding of him.
So Mu Qing swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Rong'an did not get any advantage. She spent 20,000 taels to buy the headpiece that was worth 3,000 taels. She was really taken advantage of.
Miss Lu's momentum was not weak at all at that time, and she even frightened Rong'an County Lady to tears."
Mu Hansu felt a little better after hearing this.
Then he looked at the military affairs he had just handled, selected one of them, and said: "Come here! Prepare the horses, the king wants to go to the palace."
Soon Mu Hansu rode into the palace on horseback.
The emperor was accompanying the empress to visit the imperial garden. When he heard that Mu Hansu had entered the palace, he looked at the empress with embarrassment.
The Queen smiled and said, "It is usually difficult for the Emperor to see my ninth brother, but today it is rare that my ninth brother has taken the initiative to come to the palace. Your Majesty, please go quickly.
I am also very tired from walking today and I want to go back to the palace to rest."
The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, then the queen goes back first, I will come to see you in the evening."
After the emperor left, a maidservant beside the queen said, "Your Majesty, the emperor finally accompanied you out for a stroll, why did the War Prince come to the palace at this time instead of earlier or later?
Isn't this a sincere attempt to go against you, Your Majesty?"
The Queen glanced at her and suddenly scolded her: "How dare you! How dare you gossip about the Ninth Prince behind his back? Who gave you the courage?"
The maid fell to her knees upon hearing this and said, "Please spare me, Madam. I just speak my mind and have no ill intentions."
The queen snorted coldly and said: "I have no ill intentions, do you think I am a fool?
Your words are trying to sow discord between me and the King of War. Do you really think I can't see it?
Come, beat her with thirty sticks and throw her out of the palace."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, two eunuchs dragged the maid away and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
The rest of the palace maids were so frightened by this that they kept silent.
The queen glanced at them with a cold look, and then she was supported by her personal maid and returned to Chaoyang Palace.
She is the queen and has a distinguished family background since she was a child. How can she be so stupid as to enter the palace to be the queen?
The only reason she didn't fight for so many years was because she was angry with the emperor. Now that they have reconciled and have a child, she naturally has to be cautious.
The palace maid just now was Concubine Lan's spy planted in her palace. She had known about it for a long time, but was just too lazy to touch her.
But now she was about to have someone to take care of the little princess, so naturally she had to clean up all these people. Today was a good opportunity to get rid of her.
Let those disloyal servants see the consequences of betraying her.
Besides, the emperor hurried back to Qianlong Pavilion, where Mu Hansu was sitting drinking tea.
The emperor smiled and said, "Old Nine, how come you have time to come to the palace today? Don't tell me that you came to see me because you felt guilty and missed me, your brother."
Mu Hansu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and this made the emperor very happy.
He really didn't expect that his younger brother would actually roll his eyes. You know, it's difficult to get him to show any extra expression normally.
Naturally, Mu Hansu was teased by the emperor again.
Mu Hansu ignored him. Only after the emperor had made enough of a fuss did he take out a letter from his sleeve and hand it to the emperor.
The emperor was a little confused. When he took the letter, he found that it was a letter from the Kingdom of Xiwa wanting to form a marriage alliance with their Kingdom of Dalin.
The letter said that the Kingdom of Xiwa had long admired the customs of the Kingdom of Dalin. Although the two countries had occasional wars, they also had the desire to work together.
To show their sincerity, Xiwa was willing to marry the princess of Dalin as the queen, hoping that the two countries could have a lasting friendship.
However, they were afraid that the King of Dalin would not agree, so they sent someone to deliver a letter to Mu Hansu, hoping that he could say a few good words in front of the emperor.
The words sounded nice, but they knew that whether the two countries could form an alliance did not depend on the King of Dalin, but on Mu Hansu, the Grand Marshal of the World's Armies.
So they first took the letter to Mu Hansu to test his attitude.
After reading the letter, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "The Xiwa Kingdom is so shameless. Their king must be sixty years old, and he still dares to covet my princess. He can just dream on.
Ninth brother, what do you think about this? How about teaching them a lesson? "
Mu Hansu glanced at him and said, "After we defeated Mobei, I said we would take care of Xiwa as well.
This is what my royal brother said to me. He even issued twelve decrees to recall me back to the capital.
I don't have the time to send troops now."
The emperor touched his nose after hearing what Mu Hansu said.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight, but the national treasury is indeed empty after years of war.
And because those old guys in the court threatened to commit suicide, he had no choice but to summon Mu Hansu back.
In fact, Mu Hansu also knew that there had been constant wars on the border in recent years, and the military pay had not been paid in a timely manner for consecutive years. This war could no longer be fought, so he returned to the court.
Mu Hansu understood this principle, and the emperor naturally understood it as well.
Seeing that Mu Hansu didn't give him face, the emperor could only ask in a weaker tone: "Then what do you say we should do? We can't really marry my princess to him, right?"
Mu Hansu said calmly: "You are the emperor, so it is natural for you to make the decision on this matter."
The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "How about I choose one of the daughters of the noble family and make her a princess?"
Although the emperor thought it was a bit immoral, it was the best way because he couldn't bear to part with his princess.
Mu Hansu didn't say anything after hearing this, which meant that he agreed with this plan.
The emperor wanted to tease Mu Hansu, so he said with embarrassment: "But the marriage between the two countries is a big deal, who should we choose?"
Suddenly the emperor slapped his thigh and said, "Lu Chenshuang, how could I have forgotten about her.
She is both brave and resourceful, and she is also a divorced woman. It is difficult for her to find a good family in our Dalin country.
If she married to Siwa, she would instantly become the most distinguished woman in Siwa. I believe she would be willing to do so.
What do you think, Ninth Brother?
Mu Hansu looked at the emperor coldly, then walked out without saying a word. The emperor was stunned. This was not what he expected.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, so he quickly asked someone to stop Mu Hansu.
