Mu Qingyu is not completely ignorant. She certainly knows how many doors a family carriage can enter, and the distance to go is not long.
Was this another beating given to her by the old emperor, or was it intentional by the eunuchs?
Fortunately, although there were many twists and turns and the journey took a long time, we finally arrived at the place.
The old emperor is in the Qinzheng Hall.
Mu Qingyu has not learned the specific etiquette of meeting a driver, but the people on the left and right are just kneeling down. She doesn't want to kneel down, but she can only do it at this time: "Mu Qingyu, a commoner girl, pays homage to the emperor!"
Qinzheng Hall is where the emperor usually reviews memorials, although the emperor also likes to take memorials to the Imperial Study Room for review.
This hall is huge. The bluestone slabs on the ground are tightly jointed, and it is cool and cool. The table is at the top, and there is a large open space in front of the table, enough for dozens of people to sit in a row.
The emperor occasionally summoned courtiers here.
The emperor was condescending, looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and saluted, and said majestically: "Raise your head!"
Mu Qingyu straightened her back and raised her head.
Although the emperor is only fifty, he looks older. There are already wrinkles on his face, especially at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes also look cloudy, but occasionally there is a flash of light.
That's not the glint in the eyes of a master of internal strength, but the majestic oppression in the eyes of a person who has been in a high position for a long time.
However, Mu Qingyu doesn't care about this.
Although she was kneeling on the ground, she was like a plum blossom proud of the snow, with a straight back and a plain face.
The emperor looked at her for a long time before saying: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Why didn't you choose the white silk and poisonous wine I sent?"
Mu Qingyu said: "The emperor has no intention of taking my life. If I choose, it will be against the emperor's will! So I don't choose!"
The emperor snorted and said, "The granddaughter of the Pei family?"
Mu Qingyu raised her head suddenly and saw a trace of resentment in the old emperor's eyes. Although this trace of resentment disappeared very quickly, she still caught it.
What does this mean?
The emperor is dissatisfied with the Pei family?
Is it because of Mu Mingyuan’s white-eyed wolf?
She said: "Back to the emperor, my grandfather Pei Ji, my uncle Pei Shizhen, my late mother Pei Yi! The daughter of the common people Mu Qingyu!"
The emperor said coldly: "You are very capable. You divorced the King of Liang and asked the King of Liang to help you cover it up. You are not content with the royal family, and you still asked the King of Chu to run for you! You play with my two sons in the palm of your hand.
Do you think that the royal family is nothing more than this? My son is nothing more than this?"
Mu Qingyu's eyelids drooped, covering the fluctuations under her eyes.
She paused and then said: "The people's daughter and the King of Liang have no fate. It was originally a wrong start. Wouldn't it be better to end like this? Since the emperor knows everything, he should know that both the people's daughter and the King of Liang are being plotted against!"
"Humph!" This little girl has sharp teeth.
Mu Qingyu added: "There are five ethics between monarch and minister, father and son, brothers, husband and wife, and friends. There are etiquette and righteousness between monarch and minister, there is flesh and blood relationship between father and son, there is deep love between husband and wife but there are differences between inside and outside, there is love between the old and the young.
There is an order of respect and inferiority, and there is the virtue of honesty among friends! Ethics are always orderly, and morality is dependent! Since there is no true love between husband and wife, and they are just grudges, is it necessary to continue such an ethical relationship?"
"Are you blaming me for making a mistake in judging you to marry the King of Liang?"
Mu Qingyu lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. Your Majesty has control over everything, no matter how big or small. Therefore, the Great Xia is prosperous and the people are prosperous, and the country and the people are safe! This is the place where the Emperor is wise and powerful. However, the Emperor is responsible for everything, and those scheming villains can do it.
, The emperor does not have the eyes of the Jade Emperor, so it was a wise move to make such a judgment on that day!"
The emperor's cloudy eyes flashed again, he chuckled and said: "Keep talking!"
"The emperor's move was wise, and the daughter of the people and the King of Liang also deeply feel the divine grace. It is just a matter of love, and there is no need to force it. The daughter of the people and the King of Liang are not compatible, and they are drifting apart. This goes against the emperor's original good intentions, then
Isn't it the best result to divorce each other? The divorce letter was written for the king of Liang, and the daughter of the people did not make it up. The emperor knew it clearly. The king of Liang wanted to divorce his wife, and the women of the people also wanted to divorce. The women of the people and His Highness the King of Chu
We are friends. We have no intention of causing trouble or taking advantage. We just want to live a peaceful life! Please be more careful, Your Majesty!"
The emperor said coldly: "Mu Qingyu, you don't think that you can fool me just by relying on your sweet words, do you?"
Mu Qingyu said calmly: "In front of the Holy Power, how many kilograms does a civilian girl have? Do you dare to play tricks in front of the emperor? It's just telling the truth. Since the emperor has Xu Minnu's third choice today, he doesn't even want a civilian girl.
Your Majesty is a wise Emperor, and the daughter of the people can honestly say what is in her heart. If I have spoken inappropriately, please forgive me!"
The emperor sneered: "The one on your left is a wise king, and the one on your right is wise and powerful, perceptive, and good at talking! If she was as eloquent as you, she would not be in that situation!" His eyes were cold.
Yes, looking at Mu Qingyu, but it doesn’t seem like she is looking at Mu Qingyu.
These words made Mu Qingyu confused. Is it him or not? Who is he (she)?
But at this time, she absolutely couldn't answer.
The emperor did not speak, and for a moment, there was silence in the air.
Mu Qingyu felt a strange feeling in her heart again. Something was very wrong with this old emperor today.
She didn't think that just by saying a few words, the old emperor would be ready to let her go.
But now, the old emperor is in this state, as if he is looking at someone else through her, and the expression on his face is also very strange. Sometimes his eyes are cold, and sometimes there is some melancholy, sometimes he is bursting with the power of the emperor, and sometimes he is like a
The vicissitudes of life...
This is simply brilliant.
She had to be careful, because if she suddenly made a sound or the old emperor opened it in the wrong way, she might be given another glass of poisonous wine.
As for the person the old emperor was looking at through her, she also had some guesses in her mind, but the guesses were too weird and unbelievable, so she had to suppress them heavily.
She lowered her head and tried her best to reduce her presence.
But the old emperor suddenly said: "Raise your head and lower your head for what? Are you feeling guilty?"
Mu Qingyu: "..."
Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say.
Mu Qingyu had no choice but to straighten her back again, and then, there was silence in the hall again.
The old emperor looked at her, and after a while he said: "After I learned about the divorce letter, I didn't want to keep you. The reason why I gave you the third choice is not because I am soft-hearted, but because I promised you the uncle back then."
Mu Qingyu raised her eyes suddenly and saw a trace of nostalgia in the old emperor's cloudy eyes.
She asked softly: "What did my uncle... say?"
The old emperor stood up, walked out of the desk, and walked into the palace. He was tall and majestic in dragon robes, but he was just an old man.
He stood in front of Mu Qingyu and said: "Back then, Pei Shili, as a sixth-grade knight, dared to beat up a third-grade official of our court, and he didn't know how to hide his tail. He was sued in front of me!"
