Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 69
In the summer night, merchants gathered in Bianjing City, seeing the Qiqiao Festival approaching, all kinds of exquisite lanterns and five-color flags dangling in the wind were hung everywhere in the goulan and tiles of Biandu.
In the courtyards of the various families, food and wine sacrifices were arranged on several banquets in advance.
The galaxy in the sky is also shining with the lights of thousands of families in the world. Looking around, they are all prosperous and prosperous.
Mu Lao almost died next to the lotus pond last time, but now she is still in shock when she thinks about that day.
Tuobayu disguised as the maid she bought from Jamaica, and was temporarily hidden by her in the Prince’s Mansion.
The incident of his disappearance shocked Luo Lu Khan who was far away in the falcon country.
Luo Lu Khan is not fertile and has a relationship with his relatives. After he adopted Tuoba Yu, it can be said that he devoted all his efforts to him.
Rolu Khan has a stubborn illness. On the surface, he is loyal to the Maharaja of the Falcon Kingdom, but in fact he has always wanted to replace him.
This was a grievance many years ago.
Originally, his brother’s clan contributed the most to the unification of the entire grassland. Luo Lu Khan’s brother once cruelly destroyed several tribes on the grassland. The remaining tribe, Yu Dang, who was lucky enough to survive, had a grudge and jointly designed a The meticulous murder plan killed his brother.
Soon, the monarch, who was three years older than him, came to occupy the magpie’s nest, and easily replaced his brother’s position.
Due to the current situation, Luo Lu Khan could only take his subordinates, and dared to submit to the lord.
But after many years, Luo Lu Khan still remembers the miserable scene when his brother died that day.
He felt that the cause of his brother’s death was strange, and he was afraid of a rape.
And that traitor is out of every ten. Nine is the prince who has the same father and half mother.
Rolu Khan has a grudge against this, and has always had the wish to replace the prince of the Falcon Kingdom. If he cannot achieve it while he is alive, then after his death, he hopes that there will be a person with outstanding ability and ruthless behavior. Inherit his legacy.
Many years ago, the tribes within the territory of the Falcon Kingdom did not follow the hereditary system of blood inheritance like the Central Plains.
The members of the tribe are not all related by blood, just like wolves, living together is more conducive to survival.
The leader is also the same as the wolf king in the wolf pack, who is borne by the most capable.
A stable wolf pack will also have external migrating lone wolves. If this migrating wolf is more ferocious and brave than the wolf king, then as long as it can beat the wolf king, it will become the new wolf king in the wolf pack .
The ranks of the wolves are self-contained, even within the tribe.
Only later, after the tribes within the territory of the Falconry were unified, it was urgently needed, like the Central Plains, to have a set of laws of its own to control the newly unified tribes.
The laws of the Central Plains are readily available, and some tribes of the Falconry also follow the Central Plains ritual system and pass on the throne from generation to generation according to blood relationship.
Therefore, no one feels surprised that he has inherited the first son to Tuoba Yu, who has nothing to do with him.
Originally, his tribe was also the top of the capable, and he had no heirs. As long as Tuoba Yu was able to sit in this position in the future, it would not necessarily have to follow the rituals of the Central Plains and follow the hereditary system of blood inheritance.
At that time, the population of the Falconry was insufficient, and every year it was necessary to take some males or girls from the border with the Central Plains as slaves.
Tuobayu came to the territory of the Falconry and became a slave of his tribe.
Luo Lu Khan saw in the eyes of this Central Plains boy the cruel and cunning he had hoped for and the cruelty of willingness to give up everything. He originally wanted to train him into his own subordinate, and also his youngest subordinate.
He has many women, but no one can conceive his children.
Luo Lu Khan knew that he would never have any more children in his life, so he wanted to adopt a boy as his adopted son.
He will take good care of this child who is not related to him by blood and make him the little wolf king who makes him proud.
After he had the idea of adopting a son, he wanted to find a boy whose parents had died.
All the characteristics of Tuobayu fit his requirements.
In order to survive in this unfamiliar place, the boy also created several opportunities to prove his loyalty to him.
After Tuoba Yu became Luo Lu Khan’s adopted son, he did not disappoint, seeing that he had cultivated a child into the wolf king in his heart.
In a few years, he will be taller and even more brave and mighty.
Although Luolu Khan knew that he would not live long, watching Tuobayu grow up day after day, he also had sustenance in his heart.
The child will always fulfill his wishes for him.
But who knows, news came from Qi Guo, saying that the little wolf king he had been feeding carefully had disappeared.
That day Tuobayu said that he was going to Qi State, Luo Lu Khan felt worried in his heart. Knowing that he was still young and acting unstable, he sent his most trusted advisor to Qi State with him.
But his little wolf king still had an accident in Qi.
Mu Huai, the prince of Qi, has always had a deep mind, knowing that Tuobayu has repeatedly sought more benefits for the falcon in the process of the Qihu tea-horse exchange.
With his disappearance, it was easier for Mu Huai to confuse the idiot Tuoba Jing.
Half of the horses have not yet arrived at the Tea Horse Division of Qinzhou, and some tea leaves such as sparrow tongue have not been handed over to their falcon envoys.
The maharaja was uneasy about this matter, Luo Lu Khan took the opportunity to take the initiative to invite Ying, and under the banner of negotiating with Qi, he stopped by Qi Jing to find his missing adopted son.
The maharaja has informed the monarch of Qi State of the matter by his envoy, and Luo Lu Khan will arrive in Qi territory in a few days.
Mu Lao knew about it herself, her appearance was as usual, calm and calm, but inside she was living in fear.
She felt that the high-ranking prince did not expect that Luo Lu Khan actually cared about his adopted son so much.
Mu Lao knew that his fate was uncertain, and the road ahead was worrying.
This time she hid Tuoba Yu, and Mu Huai would not let her go.
Her surname is Mu, and she is the head of the Daqi princess. She cannot be willful enough to ignore the honor and disgrace of the family.
There are so many things on her back that she can’t breathe.
On the day of Qiqiao Festival, Mu Lao was determined to die, thinking that just today, he would indulge himself again.
Mu Lao called on the two unmarried cousins of the Wang family, Wang Xin and Wang Huai, and accompanied her on a night tour in Bianjing City.
Wang Xin made military exploits last year and was just named a general.
Wang Huai took the imperial examination this year and ranked sixteenth. He was also awarded the title. Relying on the relationship between the Wang family, he is now in charge of ordnance in the Ministry of War.
The two cousins of Mu Lao’s childhood sweethearts and sweethearts both rested at the same time on the Qiqiao Festival. They happily accompany Mu Lao, who is disguised as a man, to watch the flowers in Bianjing, eat, drink and have fun.
On this day, Mu Lao’s mother, Wang Clan, went to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and wanted to stay in the nunnery inside.
The three of them went to Jinmingchi to take a boat during the day, and in the afternoon went to have a drink in Fenglelou, which has a pearl curtain and a beautiful lintel.
After nightfall, Wang Xin and Wang Huai accompanied Mu Rao to the Beishanzi Tea House on Old Caomen Street, where they watched Dr.Tea order tea and ate cherry fried and honey fried carved flowers.
Wang Xin and Wang Huai took out all the monthly salaries they had accumulated, and compared each other to buy a lot of food and things that their daughter’s favorite.
The two people quarreled on the road as always, but Mu Lao was always unhappy on the road.
Seeing her worrying about her, Wang Huai couldn’t help asking: “Arao is tired from playing today? If you can’t walk, your brother will carry you back to the Prince’s Mansion.”
Wang Xinsui glanced at Wang Huai, and threw the big and small bags in his hand to Wang Huai. With a look of surprise, he walked to Mu Lao and squatted down before him. He whispered: “Brother Huai My body is too thin to carry you a few steps. I’m afraid it will throw you off, so I will carry you on my back.”
Only then did Mu Lao get out of her thoughts. She shook her head and replied: “I don’t need you two to carry it… in another two or three years, you will be crowned and married. Then you two should carry it. The wife of you two. And I… will get married sooner or later, and the one who carries me should be my future husband.”
Wang Xin straightened up, his expression slightly surprised.
The older Wang family elders were married, and Mu Lao slowly distanced themselves from them.
He and Wang Huai are still young, but in recent years, Mu Lao hasn’t been very close to him.
Finally, the Shen and the princess of Qi Qi were willing to invite him to come out to play, but he and Wang Huai had not accompanied them.
Wang Xin was puzzled: “Why did A Lao suddenly mention the marriage? Could it be that your aunt has given you a kiss?”
Mu Lao didn’t say anything, only shook her head.
Few people knew she was going to marry Tuoba Jing.
The three of them were speechless all the way, and all felt that time was changing.
As we grow older, there are more and more helpless things.
Wang Xin and Wang Huai personally sent Mu Lao back to the Prince’s Mansion. After arriving at the gate of the mansion, Wang Xin said, “Ala, don’t worry, no matter who you are going to marry in the future, we Wang Brothers will always be your backing. I dare not bully you.”
Mu Lao wears a small white jade crown, a moon white soap shirt, and a handsome gentleman.
She looked at the two tall cousins, and faintly replied: “Arao knows, Brother Xin and Brother Huai will go back to the house soon, and I will call you two out. rest.”
Both Wang Huai and Wang Xin expressed their willingness to accompany her. They watched Mu Lao enter the mansion before turning back to the mansion.
As soon as she arrived in front of the Fulu stone carving screen wall, Mu Lao’s close-up female envoy carrying a lantern and her face looked worried and found her.
Mu Lao felt bad, and hurriedly asked the female envoy: “What’s the matter?”
The female envoy replied with a face of fear: “The princess returned to the house ahead of time. Seeing that you are not in the house, she is about to send a slave and maid out to find you.”
Mu Laoqiang calmly followed the female envoy to Wang’s courtyard.
The female envoy said again: “…and… Chuntao’she’…is causing trouble again. The princess is teaching her and saying that she will be sent out of the house.”
Mu Lao frowned, and then asked the female envoy: “I didn’t tell you to watch him well, and you don’t need him to do things. Just stay in the house well. Why did you make trouble again?”
The female envoy replied helplessly: “…The princess should go and see first.”
Mu Lao raised the soap shirt, and when he walked quickly to the main hall of Wang’s courtyard, he saw Tuoba Yu standing under the carved flying hood with disdain, a little maid kneeling on the ground and crying.
Wang wears a dark blue jacket, a high bun and a jade comb on his head. He is sitting on the pearwood armchair with a sullen expression.
Seeing Mu Lao dressed in men’s clothes, Wang’s face was even more stunned.
After Mu Dao entered, he glanced at Tuoba Yu, who was kneeling on the ground. He was wearing the costume of a maidservant in the palace and also tied a double bun.
Originally he looked coquettish and feminine, and acting as a maid makes people unable to tell his true gender.
Ke Tuo Bayu is dressed as a girl, but her appearance is even more seductive than a woman.
Not only was the demon born, but also had a big temper, and many of the maids in the palace hated him.
The Wang cried coldly and asked Xiang Mu Lao, “Did you go shopping with your Wang family cousin again?”
Mu Lao lowered her head and whispered back, “Mother concubine, this is the last time. I will never do this again.”
The Wang family also heard the news that the prince intended to let Mu Rao marry Tuoba Jing. She knew that Mu Rao was sad because of this, so she didn’t criticize her any more.
Wang pointed his finger at Tuoba Yu who was standing in the hall, and asked Mu Lao: “This maid, which Jamaican store did you buy? Are you bringing back a maid or an ancestor? If you can’t control it. This maid, if I drive her out of the house as soon as possible, my prince’s house cannot keep such a person.”
Tuobayu looked disdainful and even snorted.
Seeing Wang’s anger, Mu Lao hurriedly guarded him.
In front of Wang’s face, she coldly scolded Tuoba Yu and said, “Chuntao, have you heard? You can’t be surly in the future, otherwise the Prince’s Mansion will not tolerate you again.”
Tuobayu looked at Mu Lao, who was dressed as a gentle and noble son, his eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth bitterly.
What is this called?
He is now huddled in this prince’s mansion, still pretending to be a woman all day long.
She was also given such a tacky name, and the hateful princess would deliberately call Chuntao this ugly name every day.
Tuobayu knew that Mu Lao also had a grudge against the lotus pond that day. She looked gentle and harmless, but in fact, she was also sluggish inside, changing her way to humiliate him all day long.
How could he believe this princess Shenhe?
It’s better to let Mu Huai take him back. Instead of being wronged, the man disguised as a woman and being Mu Rao’s maid, it is better to let Mu Huai kill him with a single knife.
Tuobayu followed Mu Lao with a look of resentment. After returning to the courtyard with her, Mu Lao drove away a group of people.
In the front yard, only Tuobayu and Mu Lao remained.
If someone who didn’t know, he thought it was the young master of this family who was teaching his maid.
Tuobayu finally couldn’t bear it. He suppressed his anger and said to Mu Lao: “I, Aye, will be in Qi in a few days, and Mu Huai will not kill me anymore. Thanks to the princess for these days, I will leave the house tonight. , Don’t bother.”
After that, Tuobayu turned around and wanted to go to the penthouse to change back to the men’s clothing. Mu Lao’s expression changed slightly. She summoned him and said, “The elder son stays for a while, if you leave the house now, you may not be able to find you… Aye… In the hands of Mu Huai, what should you do?”
Tuoba Yu glanced at him, and said coldly: “The princess wants to keep me, not because he wants to protect me wholeheartedly, but because he wants to delay the day, afraid that Mu Huai will blame you?”
He saw through his mind, Mu Lao’s eyes dodged.
Tuobayu smiled on his lips.
He guessed right.
This woman, like his brother, is not a good thing.
Tuoba Yufu wanted to turn around and leave.
Mu Lao’s voice rose a bit, and said, “You stop!”
She knew that once Luo Lu Khan entered the Qi Realm, Tuoba Yu would have confidence and no longer need to hide in the Prince’s Mansion.
Tuoba Yu’s eyes became colder, and Mu Lao had walked up to him, and his always gentle eyes were also cold.
The two were of equal stature. Mu Lao looked at him flatly, and asked, “You came with a mission, but now you have caused such a big disaster. Everyone in the palace has said that you are scornful of me, and you hurt me. , Only then turned the palace wall and escaped.”
Tuoba Yu also cast his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him.
I saw Mu Lao pressing his chin with the folding fan in her hand. After lifting it lightly, she said threateningly: “My son, you just leave the house like this, even if you return to the country safely, you think, the lord Can he let you go? Luolu Khan, will he be disappointed in you?”
Tuobayu couldn’t bear to be manipulated like this by a weak girl. He grabbed her wrist stubbornly. Mu Lao suddenly realized that his meridians were covered, and the folding fan in his hand fell on the bluestone floor.
Mu Lao had a heartbeat.
Tuobayu pretended to be a maid. These days, he slumped down in front of her to be a kid, and he actually made her forget how cruel and terrifying this young man was.
Tuoba Yu’s light brown pupils were slightly embarrassing. He gripped Mu Suo’s wrist and said in a cold voice: “The princess can’t protect himself, so what do I do?”
After hearing that Luo Lu Khan had entered the Qi realm, an idea came to Mu Lao’s heart.
With her identity here, she must make contributions to Da Qi and become the target of the marriage between Qi and Hu.
Mu Huai would not let her go if he failed to achieve his goal.
But when she thought of the man Tuoba Jing, she felt sick.
Hearing that he is in the Falconry, there are already a lot of Miki, and when she marries him, she is in a tiger’s den.
Thinking about it, Mu Lao looked up and down Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu’s brows were slightly drunk, and he glared at her back.
Mu Lao thought, Tuobayu’s current age is only 13 or 4 years old, still growing his body.
And although his personality is sullen, he is obviously unconscious, and his head should be very roundabout.
Mu Lao’s tone was lighter, and then he asked Tuobayu: “Does the elder son have a girl you like?”
Tuobayu was startled by the question, and then replied in a cold voice, “What is it for you?”
Mu Lao smiled deeper, and replied, “It doesn’t matter if there is.”
Tuobayu was puzzled: “What do you mean?”
Mu Lao allowed him to hold her slender wrist. Anyway, he wanted to marry him. It would be better to marry Tuoba Yu than to marry Tuoba Jing.
Although she is older than him, what does it matter?
In this marriage, age is not always important.
Anyway, both of them are disgusted with each other.
If she is married to Tuoba Yu, then after he grows up, he will have a good idea and have a girl he likes. At that time, she will give up the position of the regular wife and find a reason to return to Qi.
The princess and princess of Daqi have a high status. Remarriage and remarriage are common, and no one can make irresponsible remarks.
As long as her chess piece can meet Mu Huai’s requirements in this game of chess.
Not only has the Wang family been preserved, there is no need to marry the disgusting thing Tuoba Jing.
Tuobayu felt that Mu Suo’s beautiful eyes were full of calculations, and he threw her arms away unhappily, but Mu Suo grabbed her wrists instead.
Tuobayu threatened her coldly: “Do you believe it or not I broke your arm?”
Mu Lao’s expression was calm, without showing any fear of his threats.
She gently said: “My son, Mu Lao has a strategy for both. It can save the lives of both of you and me, and it can also benefit both countries. After you return to the country, you can also have an explanation with the Maharaja and Aye. .”
Tuobayu raised an eyebrow and asked, “What strategy?”
It was the night of begging for cleverness, and the night sky of Bianjing was shining with stars.
Mu Lao’s eyes were gentle and bright. She smiled on her lips and said to Tuoba Yu: “My son, you marry Mu Lao as your wife, okay?”
