157. Night talk
Mu Yunzheng, who was driven out by Rong Qiaoyan's words, returned to his yard and stood blankly for a long time.
He was full of confusion and doubts, but he didn't know who to ask.
After thinking for a long time, Mu Yunzheng jumped into the direction of the palace.
When Emperor Jing'an was woken up by the nervous secret guards, he felt confused for a moment.
After hearing the secret guards say that Mu Yunzheng came to the palace at night, his face became serious.
Mu Yunzheng has always been sensible and never does such extraordinary things.
Now there must be something important to come to the palace at night.
So Emperor Jing'an called on the personal eunuch Li Changting to take care of his clothes and hurried to the front hall.
"Zheng'er, what's wrong?" Emperor Jing'an asked with concern when he saw Mu Yunzheng standing in the front hall.
"Uncle, Uncle." Mu Yunzheng felt a little aggrieved for a moment.
He didn't know where the grievance came from.
Before, Rong Qiaoyan always kept saying that she was far away from him and didn't want to see him, so he kept worrying in his heart.
At this time, when I saw the person I was closest, I immediately felt aggrieved.
"What's wrong? If you have something, just tell your uncle." Emperor Jing'an also became anxious when he saw Mu Yunzheng's expression.
"Yes..." Mu Yunzheng looked at Emperor Jing'an's concerned but majestic expression, and came back rationally for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Uncle, why didn't my mother want to marry you, but to her father?"
Mu Yunzheng, who didn't know how to speak, changed the topic.
He was surrounded by his mother's loyal servants, as well as books and texts left by his mother. There were also elders such as the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Yun.
Therefore, he naturally knew about the emperor and his father asking the Yun family for marriage at the same time.
Why did his mother choose his father instead of choosing an emperor? He also guessed from his mother's nature.
However, he didn't know what topic to change at this moment, so he could only think of this.
Emperor Jing'an was stunned when he heard Mu Yunzheng's question and then laughed.
There were actually quite a lot of people who knew about his marriage proposal back then.
However, not many people know about Yun's rejection.
At this time, when the child asked, let's talk about it -- there is nothing to say.
"How come you, a child, have you asked about your elders? Just because of this, I won't let me sleep well? Fortunately, I didn't summon concubines today, otherwise..."
Emperor Jing'an laughed, but was speechless.
This Mu Yunzheng was not afraid of the concubines venting their anger on him.
"I've asked first. I knew you were sleeping on your own, so I agreed to the secret guards call you."
Mu Yunzheng muttered.
He is not such a winkless person either.
Today, after he came to the palace, he felt reckless. However, the secret guards of the secret guards of the secret guards had already discovered him.
It wouldn't be great if he turned around and left directly.
After all, after the palace gate is locked, if there is no edict, you must not enter the palace at will.
Not to mention the night.
Although he has tokens to enter and exit the palace at any time, he can't come in and leave like playing.
Therefore, he still came to Emperor Jing'an, who was as close as his father, to relieve his confusion.
"Okay, let Changting put wine and food on it. Since you are telling a story, how can you not have wine?"
Emperor Jing'an, who was awakened, did not plan to sleep anymore. Looking at Mu Yunzheng's appearance, he planned to have a long talk with him all night.
The eunuch Li Changting, who was serving next to him, naturally knew that Emperor Jing'an and Mu Yunzheng were better than father and son.
So he went out to make arrangements with a smile.
Not only did he arrange, he also sent all the eunuchs and palace maids to serve him, leaving him alone to serve him.
The palace servants were very fast, and in a short while, the table was filled with wine and food.
Li Changting was also sent to the door by Emperor Jing'an to guard it, leaving only Emperor Jing'an and Mu Yunzheng in the hall.
"Your mother was the pearl of the capital, a famous talented woman, a model among the ladies of the family. She wants to marry countless people."
Emperor Jing'an picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, then said with sigh.
"Your grandfather was the master of the princes in the palace at that time. He preferred me and your father, so we both loved going to your grandfather's house the most, so we naturally became familiar with your mother. This childhood sweetheart's relationship naturally moved us."
Emperor Jing'an looked slowly into the distance, as if he was recalling what happened back then.
The boy, Mu Ai, his mind is thrilling.
Now, it's been more than twenty years...
"At that time, the princes fought for this position, and many people slowly fell into decline. When I was eighteen years old, I was adopted by the then follower and the current empress dowager. When the empress dowager first entered the palace, she was framed and could not have children in this life. I lost my mother when I was young and had no mother, so the empress dowager adopted me. After I was remembered in the empress dowager's name, I was considered a legitimate son. When I reached the age of winning the crown, I was already a highly praised prince. The empress dowager began to choose a concubine for me. Your mother happened to be in the forefront, so the empress dowager naturally fell in love with your mother. However, your father also had deep roots in love with your mother. So, your father and I went to Yun Mansion to propose marriage, saying that your mother would choose freely. And your mother chose your father."
Emperor Jing'an felt a soreness in his heart when he said this.
Yun was the white moonlight he used to be when he was a teenager.
I thought that as time passed, the white moonlight would slowly fade away.
However, eleven years ago, Yun's risked his life to save him, which made him unable to forget.
After many years, I always feel sad when I recall it.
When Mu Yunzheng saw Emperor Jing'an's sad look, he poured a glass of wine for Emperor Jing'an with some regret.
I shouldn't have made my uncle sad for the sake of my heart disorder.
"Why... don't say it anymore?" Mu Yunzheng said at a loss.
"Silly kid, it's okay. This is all in the past. Now, you are sixteen years old. I think you are like your own child, what's wrong with saying?"
Emperor Jing'an laughed when he looked at Mu Yunzheng's helpless look.
Although Mu Yunzheng is his younger brother's child, he has always been raised by his knees.
One is for Yun's life-saving grace.
Second, he was also afraid that the female family in Prince Rui's mansion would insidate Mu Yunzheng.
After all, if you kill someone secretly poison it and let the woman tempt it early, you can kill people without any blood.
The only child left by Yun's family would never be ruined by a group of women.
Even though he was so cautious, Mu Yunzheng still said at the age of ten...
His younger brother, King Rui, is really confused.
King Rui is good at everything, but he is too filial.
In the early years, Concubine Xian was just an inconspicuous wooden beauty in the palace.
It was not until Emperor Jing'an, who was acquainted with King Rui, was recorded in his name by the Queen Mother, that King Rui's status improved.
Therefore, Concubine Xian was promoted from a beauty to a concubine with the light of her son.
In the end, he could even follow King Rui to return to the mansion and upbring.
Because Concubine Xian and King Rui lived a difficult life in the palace in their early years, King Rui has always been extremely filial.
The only disobedience was to marry Yun.
After all, Concubine Xian always wanted King Rui to marry the woman from her mother's family.
However, at that time, the Xian family had a low official position and a decline in talents.
