Thinking of the past, King Ruicheng's face was a little red. He felt guilty about the Mu family about Xiuwen. At that time, he felt that Mu was older and had not entered the Mu family's house for many years. Mu family could not have a daughter again, so it would be okay to remember her daughter in her name. It would be nice to have an extra daughter under her knees. But he didn't expect that Mu family was so easy to talk to on weekdays, but he firmly disagreed with this matter, but he had already agreed to his beloved concubine. Thinking of Mu family's good temperament, she would not make a fuss about her name. Sure enough, Mu family didn't say anything after the wood was ready. It was just that everything needed to be discussed by both of them. Mu family said that he would make a decision. He was very cold. He was afraid that Mu family would be angry. Although Xiuwen was recorded in Mu family's name, she was given to another concubine to raise.

Now that Xiuwen has caused trouble, he really has no shame to tell Mu that he wants her to find a way to clean up the mess for his daughter. I heard that in recent years, Mu gradually handed over the gift to the princess, and he was just reading, writing and taking care of flowers and plants. However, this matter cannot be discussed with the princess. He had no choice but to come to Mu. He wanted to ask Xiuwen alone, and he said that he would not come back to trouble Mu. But now for the inheritance of the entire Ruicheng Palace, the throne left by his ancestors must not be lost.

Compared to the anxious King Ruicheng, Mu was not anxious or impatient, and said lightly: "Prince, there is a conclusion in the palace, and it is useless for us to be anxious."

"But, you have to do something. You know that many rumors outside recently are very unfavorable to my Prince Ruicheng's Mansion." King Ruicheng was even more anxious when he saw Mu's relaxed and leisurely look, and couldn't help but complain, "Why are you not anxious at all."

Mu smiled and looked calm, "Prince, you have also come through the storm and waves. I haven't seen you so panic about something more difficult than this in the past. What's wrong with you today?"

King Ruicheng was asked, yes, since he inherited the throne of Ruicheng, the court has undergone several major changes, and almost even the Ruicheng Palace cannot be kept. He is still as stable as Mount Tai. Compared to this now, this is just a small storm, why can't he sit still? Is he really old?

In order to cover up the embarrassment, King Ruicheng sighed, "If it were me, of course I wouldn't be so anxious, but isn't it for the prince now? It's up to my son. Of course I'm anxious."

But Mu said, "Prince, this matter is not a big deal. I have thought about it. At most, the title will be reduced to a higher level, and it doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter if you surrender your title?" King Ruicheng almost wanted to jump up and question. Is Mu still the prince's biological mother?

Mu said lightly: "By the way, the prince came in a little casually. He relied on the throne to be obtained, so he didn't do his job well. It was really unreasonable to drink and have fun all day long."

"Is there such a thing?" King Ruicheng didn't know the prince's current situation. He focused all his attention on his younger son Zhenyun, and wanted to find a title for his younger son so that he would have a support in the future.

Mu nodded, "When the battle for the throne was fierce in the past few years, the prince was worried about being implicated, but he was very restrained. However, no major incidents have happened in recent years, so it has become a bit casual. The child is good. The outside officials are doing a good job and working very hard. The people and the Shangguan are very grateful. He heard that the superiors were interested in transferring him back to Yancheng, but he was not willing to do so, saying that he hoped to practice for a few more years outside."

Zhenyuan, King Ruicheng almost forgot about having this son. When Mu heard him mention it, his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Zhenyuan was his second son. He was born with a maid after he was drunk. The maid was nothing special. If he hadn't been pregnant, he would have been left behind. Even if he gave birth to a son, he would have just left the mother and son aside for Mu to take care of him. He never cared about it. The child was the one who took the career of his career as a child.

Since Mu mentioned it, King Ruicheng couldn't help but say: "Did Zhenyuan still be a county magistrate in Fengming County?"

Mu said: "Fengming County has been transferred to Wuyang and the magistrate. I sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that I would go back to Yancheng next month and arrive at the beginning of next month. Now Jiao Niang can reunite her mother and son. When Zhenyuan's wife was in office, she gave birth to another daughter. It is difficult to bring her back. Jiao Niang has never seen her granddaughter yet, so she is muttering all day long."

Who is Jiao Niang? King Ruicheng has no impression of it. Fortunately, Mu said it was a reunion of mother and son, so he remembered the name of the second son's biological mother. When he thought that his second son had been transferred to the magistrate as the father, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed again, "Zhenyuan now has two, two and one daughter, okay, good... the family is reunited."

I felt a little uncomfortable when I thought that my second son had never sent him a letter.

Mu guessed his thoughts and said gently: "Zhen Yuan was busy with work in office, and his wife wrote the letters of his family. However, he asked someone to send back a lot of local specialties from time to time, which is considered to be intentional."

"Yes! This child is still very filial to you." King Ruicheng said this embarrassedly, and couldn't help but say, "You just said Zhenyuan wants to practice for a few more years outside? How can this be done? Since you are back, stay in Yancheng. I'll find a good shortage for him. It's not better to stay together and enjoy family happiness. Why bother running around outside?"

Mu looked at King Ruicheng calmly.

Seeing this, King Ruicheng felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what he said wrong?

After a while, Mu said, "I am afraid that the joy of family is really enjoying you, Prince. Have you ever thought about it?"

"Of course I'm thinking about Zhenyuan. Any officials who are outgoing don't want to go back to Yancheng." King Ruicheng said with confidence.

Mu said lightly: "You have never really considered Zhenyuan's situation. What will happen if Zhenyuan returns to his house and live in a family? He is also your son of the prince. How did the prince treat him for many years? There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate, Zhenyuan has no dispute with the prince, but what about other things? The biological mother is also a low-born mother, and he, a son, is not even as good as Xiuwen. Do you think he has no idea in his heart?"

"Xiuwen is Zhenyuan's sister, what's there to fight for?" King Ruicheng said it was a little unconfidence. After all, he also understood that Zhenyuan's son was ignored by him.

Mu smiled indifferently, without arguing, and said, "Back to the royal palace, Zhenyuan is the second son of the royal palace, with orderly old and young, but he is incomparable to Zhenyun. Concubine Liu has been favored for many years and has countless industries under her name. She is also a prince of the royal palace... Even the subordinates in the palace will be compared. The children of nobles in the city like to provoke discord. Even if they have no ideas, they will be picked out. In other places, he is the prince of the royal palace. As long as he has the ability, no one dares to bully and despise him, he will be more effective than others for his mistakes."

King Ruicheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and said, "In the past, I was busy with my affairs and ignored Zhenyuan's place. But this time I will definitely find a good job in the city."

Mu shook his head, "Prince, it's a turbulent time now, and the prince has been scolded one after another. Zhenyuan is really good at errands, and it is inevitable that there will be jealousy and difficulties. Yancheng has a complicated relationship and it is difficult to handle errands... In addition, are you thinking of asking Zhenyun to be named the prince?"

King Ruicheng was suddenly stopped asking, opened his mouth for a long time, and couldn't say a word, admitting it is not. It is not okay not to admit it.

Mu did not force him, but said, "Even if the mansion has passed the pass, if Zhenyun asks to be named the prince, Zhenyuan will have another good job. Our Ruicheng Palace will be too conspicuous. Whether it is the throne of King Ruicheng or the throne of the county, it is difficult for others to attack, but as an official in Yancheng, he is staring at it with so many eyes. If it is done well, it will naturally be fine. If it makes a little mistake, it will become the storm."

King Ruicheng stopped talking, and he had to admit that Mu's analysis was very reasonable.

Mu again said: "If you don't mention the outside world, even if the female relatives are together in the mansion, it will be difficult for a few sisters-in-law to get along well with each other. Needless to say, the princess, the legitimate daughter of a high family is good, but she is a bit arrogant. Zhenyun's wife is not very good. She used to be able to live in their own personalities and be at peace, but if Zhenyuan's wife comes back, where is her position? How will others compare when going out for social engagements? Those little dirty talks to men between women will also affect brotherhood."

King Ruicheng thought for a long time before asking: "Is this why you encouraged Zhenyuan to expose himself at the beginning?"

Mu admitted, "Yes, since Zhenyuan was very young, I always asked Jiao Niang to watch Zhenyuan study and educate him that no matter when, people should strive for themselves. Not to mention Zhenyuan, I just look at the prince, and I will not let him relax at all, because I can tell you the truth to the prince. I don't care about the throne, even if it is a submission, I can still make the prince earn back with his own efforts. What I can get without relying on the protection of his ancestors is the real ability."

King Ruicheng was stunned for a long time and blurted out, "Then why did you marry me back then?"

Mu seemed to hear a joke and said lightly: "Marriage events are naturally the words of the matchmaker by their parents' orders, not what I want."

King Ruicheng was as if he was blown away. Mu said it again. She didn't want to marry him, but she was forced to do so by her parents' orders. No wonder she didn't care about her coldness for so many years because she didn't care.

"So you have always been..." As a man, King Ruicheng really couldn't say those three words. He was romantic for half his life, and the man's self-esteem was severely hit at this moment.

"Prince, you and I are so old, so it's not appropriate to discuss these things." Mu smiled, not caring about King Ruicheng's reaction at all, and said seriously, "Forget it, let alone Zhenyuan, they will come back next month, and it will not be enough for a while. If the prince cares so much about the throne, I have a way to overcome the difficulties in front of me, and I don't know if the prince is willing to give up?"

"What method?" King Ruicheng was excited.

Mu slowly said: "Show to the Lord that our royal palace will never escape marriage for a daughter."

"How to show it?" King Ruicheng asked anxiously.

Mu's face became cold, "When the memorial was submitted, he asked Xiuwen to be delisted from the county lord's title?"

"Ah! What should Xiuwen do in the future?" King Ruicheng felt distressed when he thought of his daughter's future. The removal of the ban shows that there is a problem with the woman's character, which is much more serious than never banning her.

Mu's voice became even colder, "She sent it to the ancestral temple, and from then on, the ancient Buddha of Qinglantern prayed for his ancestors."

"This, Xiuwen is your daughter, how could she be so cruel?" King Ruicheng was so angry that he immediately stood up and stared at Mu.

Mu said lightly: "This is a one-time and all method, and it is also the most effective. Only she knows whether Xiuwen's fall this time was done by herself. Your daughter, you know that she can do this. Of course, if you say you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do. It's just what I want to say. In order to clear the relationship, the Ruicheng Palace has offended the Hu family. The Hu family is also a family of aristocratic families, with countless disciples and officials. Is it worth forming such a mortal enemy for such a small matter?"

"Miss Hu is indeed likely to promote Xiuwen, and we did not wrongly accuse her." King Ruicheng died of stubbornness, but his words were filled with guilt.

Mu said: "I don't know whether Miss Hu has promoted Xiuwen, but I don't agree with the way the prince's concubine and the prince's mansion handled this matter. The prince thinks it's okay and I have nothing to say, but I don't think the prince knows about some things."

"What's the matter?" King Ruicheng became more and more irritable, especially when he saw Mu's appearance was not anxious and slow.

Mu slowly said: "When Xiuwen attended the Hu family's birthday party, she met Princess Ding, who was still Miss Meng's family at the banquet. Xiuwen gave Princess Ding a shameless meal. After the eldest lady of the Hu family was a peacemaker, she led a group of noble girls to make Miss Meng's third, and poured wine to Miss Meng's third, which was not touched by Miss Meng's third. After Miss Meng's third, she was drunk and unknown to everyone... Afterwards, there were some rumors that Miss Hu's third and Mr. Hong's second brother were privately taught each other, which happened at the birthday party. In order to cover up the ugliness, the Hu family betrothed Miss Hu's third brother to Mr. Hong's second brother, the prince. Think about it, will there be any connection between these things happening at the same time?"

"There is such a thing, why no one tells me?" King Ruicheng thought of Guo Gang's relationship with Princess Ding in this incident. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and wanted to follow Mu's words. Isn't Princess Ding a grudge against Xiuwen?

Mu sneered, "So what if you tell the prince without wind or waves? This is not something like this in the past. Xiuwen relied on the title to bully and tease other noble girls, but the prince said something. Isn't it just that the little girl is just making trouble? Your child bullies people, of course you think it's a child who is bullied, but it's unknown whether the bullied person thinks so. Don't bully the young poor. Today's inconspicuous little girl may marry a noble son and fly to the branch to become a phoenix. I don't know what Xiuwen thinks. It's okay for others to be the one who is the one who is the one who is in trouble. Miss Meng's family is about to become the princess, and her status is about to be much higher than her. What should she do for no reason?"

"Why don't you discipline me well?" King Ruicheng was a little angry and embarrassed.

Mu's tone was even more disdainful, "I want to discipline me? It's not that I was born but I raised me? How to discipline me? I advised the prince not to rush to ask Xiuwen for a title. It is not a bad thing for Xiuwen to get the title of the county lord. Xiuwen is not a good thing for her. Do you know that when going out for social events, the real noble girl with a title is disdainful to be with Xiuwen? Those low-ranking figures only hold her, as well as maids and women in the mansion, etc. How can we raise our children in this environment? Just look at Zhenyun. If you don't study properly or practice martial arts, you're determined to wait for the prince to live a lifetime. As a result, you see that you have no hope for the title, and you're like a headless fly rushing around, but instead you're shocked. From the beginning, you knew that the family could not count on it. Instead, you said that you would work hard to study and make your future. If the prince could be half diligent, I wouldn't be so upset now."

As he was talking, Mu seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, there is another thing, I guess no one told the prince? Zhenyun's wife's mother's Ning family sent a woman to the Ding Prince's Mansion. It is said that she looks a bit similar to the previous Prince's Mansion. Your son and his wife hoped that this woman could get Prince's Beloved by Prince Ding to borrow this trend. Her sister Wuming and Wu Di was sent to the palace. Relatives of relatives and concubines were not relatives. Others were embarrassed and it was too late to avoid suspicion. However, Zhenyun's wife rushed to the house every now and then.

Let's see, the sisters' shouts are not embarrassing. The princess has reminded him twice, but he was blocked by Zhenyun's wife. It's right. Now we are not capable of earning a title for Zhenyun, so it doesn't matter. Everything we say is sarcastic. It doesn't hurt when we stand. Princess, you have to be kind, just talk to yourself. I remind the prince, Princess Ding is not a simple person. At this critical moment, she really insists that Xiuwen fell down the hillside by herself. It's really hard to explain."

Listening to these things, King Ruicheng was cold all over. How many things were hidden in the mansion from him? He couldn't help but roar, "How did you be your mistress? Why don't you care about the mess in the mansion?"

Mushi said indifferently, "Even if the prince and the prince's concubine, the children are already so old. In two years, the granddaughter-in-law will come in and take care of the whole world. Is it true? Why bother to be disgusted when you are old? It's basically possible to be disgusted. Just like Zhenyuan, no one helps to manage everything, but you can grow up better. As for Zhenyun and his wife, I didn't raise them when they were young, and it's even harder to point fingers when they grow up, so as not to be disgusted, but will act against them. The prince thinks that persuasion is useful, so he will persuade himself. The palms and backs of his hands are flesh, and the prince has a throne to inherit. What Zhenyun does in the future depends on them. I will remind the prince if there are more things to do. I will remind the prince that Zhenyun's hope for the throne is really slim. Let them recognize the reality as soon as possible and plan well in the future. Don't think about it anymore."

He was angry in front of Mu. King Ruicheng left the Yuyuan with anger.

After thinking about it, he walked towards Qianyunju, where his third son lived. He walked along the way and saw a scene of withering outside Qianyunju. The maid and the old man didn't know where to go and didn't meet anyone along the way. Since Concubine Liu passed away, he had never been to Qianyunju for fear of being hurt. In the past, Zhenyun and his wife lived in Qingyuan next to Qianyunju. After Concubine Liu passed away, they moved here.

I didn't expect that it would become so fast. I had moved a lot of soil and became much more luxurious. The plants and trees all seemed to be replaced by the flowers and plants that Su Ri Liu liked were gone. I thought it was replaced by Zhenyun and his wife, which was really unreasonable. Zhenyun Su Ri often told him what he missed his mother. Whenever he talked about the emotional part, he still burst into tears like a child. Is it the result that he missed him so much?

In anger, King Ruicheng accelerated his pace and rushed in. Until he entered the flower hall, he heard a burst of playful sounds and silk and bamboo sounds.

The little maid who was dozing at the door heard the footsteps and opened her eyes lazily. When she saw that it was King Ruicheng, she was stunned for a moment and even forgot to salute.

King Ruicheng snorted coldly, ignoring the stupid little maid, and probably broke in.

As King Ruicheng entered, all the sounds inside disappeared in an instant, and everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces, looking in shock. After a moment, the third young master Peng Zhenyun was the first to react and rushed over to salute, "Father, why are you here?"

King Ruicheng glanced at Yingying Yanyan on the mat and found that the third daughter-in-law Ning was among them. Ning was dressed in a fancy dress, wearing a very vulgar red dress, and wearing heavy makeup. If he didn't know, he would think she was a concubine and a singer.

Too lazy to watch, King Ruicheng shook his sleeves and left in a hurry.

Peng Zhenyun hurriedly chased him out.

Along the way, King Ruicheng, no matter how Peng Zhenyun apologized, he just didn't say anything. Peng Zhenyun chased him to the study room of the outer courtyard. King Ruicheng walked all the way. Thinking of the messy things now, he slowly had an idea in his heart.

When he entered the study, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened it. Looking at Peng Zhenyun, who was a little disheveled and had a woman's lipstick mark on his neck, he made up his mind and said, "Don't say anything. I think I was too spoiling you before. Everyone said that a kind mother worshiped her too much. You were spoiled by me and your mother. How long has your mother passed away? You are like this. Even though you have already made filial piety, you can't do this. Wouldn't it be fake that you say you miss your mother on weekdays?"

The rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty: the son of a concubine does not need to follow the rules of his legitimate mother to keep filial piety for three years, but only one year is enough. However, it is easy to be criticized when he plays and enjoys his filial piety as soon as he is filial.

Let’s look at the third son. This son is not only born to his beloved woman, but also the one who looks the most like him when he was young. In comparison, the prince is more like his biological mother, Mu, who is calm and handsome, but not handsome. The second son is more like that maid and concubine, without any outstanding features and forgets every moment, so he has always loved this son the most.

But now when I looked at my son who was just over thirty, his body was gradually getting fatter and his face was a little swollen. Junyi's son seemed to be unable to match him anymore. Why didn't he notice it before?

"Father, I'm just depressed for a moment... Father, you forgive me, I will never dare again." Peng Zhenyun said and knelt down and kowtowed desperately.

Such a spineless and unresponsible look made King Ruicheng even more disappointed, and he said coldly: "No need to say, I have made a decision. I will give you a shortage in another place later. You can take your wife and children to work together."

"Father..." Peng Zhenyun was shocked. Isn't this just a disguised attempt to expel him from Yancheng? His title has not yet been settled. There is no hope for being expelled. Even if King Ruicheng stretches out his legs in the future, he will not gain any advantage when he is apart from other places.

King Ruicheng waved his hand and said, "I will order someone to seal the property I gave to your mother's mother before. In the future, this will be divided into your property. Don't think about it. If you attend the job outside the country, I will naturally plan for you. If you don't work hard, these will be the pension money for your family."

"Father, I really know I'm wrong." Peng Zhenyun shouted heart-wrenchingly. He really didn't understand why it suddenly became so fast. King Ruicheng kept comforting him that the future was long, so there was no need to hurry to get the title. After Xiuwen's affairs were over, he would plan with him well. Even if he couldn't get the prince, he would still get the title of second-class one. How could it become so fast?

"Do you know where you are wrong?" King Ruicheng asked lightly.

"Son, the son shouldn't drink and have fun, it's really not. The son shouldn't forget his mother." Peng Zhenyun cried bitterly.

King Ruicheng closed his eyes, "This is just a trivial matter, I won't be careless with you. The most wrong thing is that you are not motivated. I can bear it. What makes me most unbearable is that you actually go through a wrong path. The son of a dignified prince is like those treacherous businessmen, who pleases those shameless women in the back house, and indulges his wife and a plaything who don't even have the title of a concubine to talk about sisterhood. Do you think your title can be obtained by such a woman? Even Yufeng is such a soft-eared person, he will be gnawed away long ago. It's ridiculous that the couple is so stupid that they can't even know how to offend others." (To be continued ~^~)
