The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 129 Accident
While the three of them were talking, they heard the gatekeeper in the courtyard shout, "The princess is here." After hearing this, Wang Xifeng got up and went outside to greet her in person.After a while, she was seen walking in with Qin Keqing.

As soon as Qin Keqing stepped into the door, she was startled when she saw Mu Xu standing behind the curtain.She patted her chest hastily, and said angrily to Mu Xu, "Why is my cousin here, why didn't you tell me in advance."

Mu Xu greeted her with a smile, and invited her to come in. After several people saluted again, he replied, "I came here specially to see my cousin."

Qin Keqing asked curiously, "Then you can go to me directly, why bother?"

"I'm afraid that I will go too many times. Others will gossip about my cousin. Besides, I came this time for the affairs of Ningguo Mansion, so it's not easy for you to go into details."

After hearing his explanation, although Qin Keqing knew that she was doing it for her own good, she still shook her head, "You are too caring, next time you have something to do, just come directly, I am not afraid of gossip, what are you afraid of, a big man?"

Wang Xifeng also said, "Your words are right. I just took this opportunity to punish all the servants in the house. Anyone who dares to gossip in the future will just sell them off."

"Hey, what does Second Aunt mean?" Qin Keqing was a little puzzled, and then remembered Mu Xu's words just now, "And my cousin just said that he wanted to talk about our family?" She said it once.

After hearing this, Qin Keqing sighed after a while, "Their father and son have always been like this, I knew it would not end well."

Seeing that she wasn't sad at all, Mu Xu couldn't help but feel a little strange. Qin Keqing wished that Jia Zhen would be unlucky, he could understand, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn't care about Jia Rong at all?
Of course he didn't know that Qin Keqing and Jia Rong had no relationship at all.Because since Qin Keqing married into Ningfu, Jia Zhen started to have her idea.Before Jia Zhen herself succeeded, how could she want Jia Rong to contaminate Qin Keqing.

After Qin Keqing became the princess and Jia Zhen had no hope, she intensified her anger on Jia Rong.Jia Rong is also a coward, not daring to rebel against his father, nor can he get angry at Qin Keqing, so he simply followed Jia Zhen while avoiding Qin Keqing.

Mu Xu had no way of knowing these details. He only thought that Qin Keqing didn't understand what he meant, so he had to ask her again, "Cousin, I want to ask you, what should Jia Rong do, after all, he also participated in it."

"Cousin can figure it out. I'm in a mess right now. I don't have any ideas. I'm going back now." After Qin Keqing said this, she ignored the faces of several people and left.

Mu Xu looked at Wang Xifeng, "What's wrong with her?"

Wang Xifeng was also puzzled, "I don't know either."

"Could it be because you feel uncomfortable hearing this?"

After hearing Jia Lian's conjecture, Mu Xu nodded perfunctorily, but he didn't feel like it in his heart, so he had to make up his mind to go back and find a chance to ask her.

After being called by Qin Keqing, Mu Xu didn't bother to talk anymore, and after explaining a few words to Jia Lian and his wife, he got up and left.Jia Lian personally sent him out of the courtyard, but saw a girl waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

When the girl saw Mu Xu, she bowed and bowed, "My lord, our grandma has something to tell you."

Mu Xu looked at her carefully, and finally remembered her identity, "Are you Cousin's personal girl Baozhu?"

"It's the slave girl, son, do you see?" Although Baozhu was talking to Mu Xu, she looked at Jia Lian.Jia Lian was not stupid, and immediately said, "Since your lord still has something to do, then I won't see you off."

After seeing no one around, Baozhu said, "My lord, our grandma asked my servant to tell you that everyone has their own destiny, what you sow will bring you what you want, and you don't need to deliberately change anything." After she finished speaking, she waited. After waiting for a while, Mu Xu didn't reply, so he had to ask again, "Does your son have anything to say to our grandma?"

Mu Xu waved his hand, "Just tell my cousin that I understand, you can go back."

After leaving the Rongguo Mansion, Mu Xu rode on the horse and thought about Qin Keqing's words. After thinking about it, he felt that what she meant was to let him leave Jia Rong alone.This made him puzzled, thinking about things in his heart, and unknowingly came to the gate of the palace, he simply didn't think about it, and planned to do as Qin Keqing said, and let them fend for themselves.

Handing the horse to the guard at the gate, he went straight to the Qinzheng Hall after entering the palace.When he came outside the hall, he asked the guard at the door, "Is Your Majesty inside?"

The guard bowed to him, "Report to my lord, His Majesty went to guard the spirit of the late emperor early this morning."

Mu Xu nodded at him, turned around and walked towards the Daqing Palace. As soon as he reached the entrance of the main hall, he heard Tu Zhen's voice coming from inside, "You have to tell me even such a trivial matter, so what are you doing?" of."

Hearing his tone seemed to be quite angry, Mu Xu hurriedly walked in, but saw a small official from the Ministry of Rites bowing down to tell Tu Zhen something, and Tu Zhen had an impatient expression, what else did he have to say, eyes But he caught a glimpse of Mu Xu walking in.Immediately smiled, "Biao, Mu Aiqing come quickly."

Mu Xu came to his side, bowed to him, and then asked, "What's the matter, is it that His Majesty is angry all the way away?"

When Mu Xu asked, Tu Zhen became even more angry. He pointed to the official of the Ministry of Rites in front of him and said, "Aiqing is here to comment. The big clock in the bell tower in the palace is broken. Do you need to report this kind of thing to me?"

Mu Xu was also a little speechless, he knew that after the death of Emperor Daxing, a total of [-] bells had to be struck inside and outside the palace, and many of them must have been broken.But this kind of thing really shouldn't be reported to the emperor, it should go to the Ministry of Industry.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that this is wrong, how could the Ministry of Rites not have thought of this.He glanced at the official in front of him, "I don't know what to call this lord?"

The official gave a salute in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "Wu Lei, a member of the etiquette department."

"Master Wu, I don't know who asked you to report this matter to His Majesty." Before he could answer, Mu Xu asked again, "Or is it your own initiative?"

When Wu Lei was asked such a question, his face immediately changed, "I don't understand the meaning of the son."

Mu Xu stopped Tu Zhen, who was about to speak, with his eyes, and replied with a smirk, "It seems that I was thinking too much, Mr. Wu, please go ahead, I have something important to report to His Majesty."

Looking at the back of Wu Lei going away, Tu Zhen was a little puzzled, "There is obviously something wrong with this person, why don't you ask me to clarify?"

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. There are two reasons for this. There is no need to ask him face to face."

"Cousin, tell me quickly and listen."

Mu Xu sneered and said, "Looking at his expression when I questioned him just now, he must have been entrusted by someone. If it was Huang Mingguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, then their purpose is very simple. I think it is to test His Majesty. Let's take a look. Is Your Majesty good at speaking? Thinking about what happened when His Majesty succeeded to the throne, these officials and lords were a little confused, afraid that they would not be able to figure out the holy will."

"If someone else is in charge, it will be easier. Your Majesty, think about it carefully. If you are constantly bothered by the officials of the Ministry of Rituals with such trivial matters, when you get impatient, who will you charge the account for?"

Tu Zhen blurted out, "Of course it's on the Minister of the Ministry of Rites." After saying this, he immediately understood, "Okay, this is to use me as a spear."

Mu Xu nodded, "That's right. The Ministry of Rituals has already established a rule for these trivial things like what he said. There is no need to report them to His Majesty. These guys are just thinking about His Majesty's youth, so they have their own calculations."

"These bastards, I will order a thorough investigation of this matter to see who did it, and I must teach him a lesson!" How could Tu Zhen bear being used by his courtiers, and he was immediately annoyed.

Not wanting to, Mu Xu persuaded, "Why be angry, Your Majesty just pretends not to know."

Seeing his puzzled face, Mu Xu explained loudly, "You are the emperor now, don't be easily influenced by your courtiers, you just need to sit on the dragon chair and watch them perform. In the end, when they have fought enough, you will come out to support the overall situation That's it."

"Xu'er said it well!" It turned out that Empress Dowager Chen came in from outside the hall, and after hearing Mu Xu's words, she praised her.

Mu Xu smiled imperceptibly. He had heard people outside the hall a long time ago. In addition to the footsteps, there was also the sound of wearing rings. Besides, there will be no other women, so he said that on purpose.
