Chapter 311

When Ling Mu'er returned to Ling Mansion, Ling Zixuan had already returned.

Seeing that he and Zhu Qi were not injured at all, and there were no signs of poisoning, Ling Muer was relieved.

"Brother, Big Brother Zhu is all my fault, this time it hurts you."

"What did you say?" Ling Zixuan and Zhu Chi not only spoke in unison, but even moved their hands in the same way to help her up, but after Ling Zixuan made a move, Zhu Chi immediately retreated and rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly alone.

Seeing this, Ling Muer took the initiative to hold Zhu Chi's hand, but she also held Ling Zixuan's on the other side, "You are all my elder brothers. I was really worried when I learned that the Seventh Prince imprisoned you. If anything happens to you, I will be responsible for my whole life, but luckily you are all right."

"Without this incident, we would not have seen the true face of the Seventh Prince, so we would have to thank Mu'er." Ling Zixuan said, looking at Zhu Qi, "Brother Zhu thinks so too, right? "

I haven't seen Ling Muer for a long time, but when we met, I still felt such a throbbing feeling that Zhu Qi didn't dare to meet Ling Muer's eyes. He just lowered his head, "That's right. I am very grateful for the prince's kindness, and I planned to repay him with my talent and loyalty, but I didn't expect him to be selfish all the time."

Zhu Qi sneered, and when he looked at Ling Muer again, he had doubts, "I don't know how Muer persuaded the Seventh Prince to let us go?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch's voice came from behind the crowd, "The emperor has an order, and the Ling family hastened to receive the order."

Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, summoned and said, Ling Muerhui, the youngest daughter of the Ling family, has a pure heart and is extremely intelligent. Not only is she excellent in medicine, but she has also won my heart. The second prince has a special liking for Qing, and even admires her, so she married her to the second prince. I will make the Second Prince the Concubine, and we will get married at the end of next month. I respect you."

As soon as the imperial decree came out, everyone in Ling's mansion, from the master to the servants, was shocked, but Ling Mu'er was very calm and composed, "Minister accepts the decree, thank you Lord Long for your kindness."

After the eunuch who passed the decree received the reward and left, everyone came back to their senses and surrounded her one after another, chatting and asking non-stop.

"Second Princess? This... is this true?"

"Mu'er, do you really want to marry Boy Chen? That's the palace, a place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Do you really want to marry there?"

"Did you promise the emperor something to save our family? If that's the case, Mu'er, run away, we don't need you to sacrifice anything with your life's event!"

"It's not only the second prince's concubine, but also the second prince's concubine. At least as far as I can remember, there has never been a civilian girl who can become a concubine in my dynasty. Even if she has the honor to marry into the royal family, she is just a housewife. , Chaoyang congratulates Muer."

Looking at everyone's worried or surprised eyes, Ling Mu'er only slightly curled her lips, and said the imperial decree, the world has been set, yes, she is also ready.

"Father and mother, things are not as you imagined, brother, I didn't sacrifice anything just for you to come out, it's me and Shao Chen who are in love with each other, and I have considered this decision for a long time."

It is inevitable that a girl who has not left the court to express her thoughts in front of everyone will be a little ashamed.

Ling Mu'er's pretty face flushed, as long as she thought that she would soon be Shangguan Shaochen's legitimate wife, she would be both excited and shy.

I didn't make up my mind before, even if I love him, I always feel that there is something blocking their love; now she has made up her mind, since she loves this man, she should accept everything about him, grow up and rejoice with him , I felt a little different in my heart, sweet.

"Since it's Mu'er's decision, we only have to bless her." Unexpectedly, the first person to bless her was Zhu Qi.

I saw an imperceptible loneliness across his face, and soon he cupped his fists, "Brother Zhu wishes Mu'er and the second prince will be united forever, flowers will bloom side by side, hold your hand, and grow old together with you."

"Thank you, Brother Zhu."

As soon as Ling Mu'er's voice fell, many people suddenly rushed in from outside the door, all of them were eunuchs and maids in the palace.

They carried large and small boxes, carrying gold, silver and jewels, and within a short while the entire courtyard of the Ling Mansion was filled to the brim.

When everyone was curious, an eunuch came slowly holding an imperial decree in one hand, "The emperor has a decree to reward the second princess with one hundred thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, ten pieces of jade jewelry, and ten pieces of gold silk cloth... this."

Ling Mu'er never expected that the emperor would prepare a dowry for her. What an honor is this? I am afraid that Shangguan Shaochen has put in a lot of hard work.

"Miss Ling... No, it's time to call the second concubine. These are the most outstanding embroiderers in the palace. They will design a phoenix crown and Xiapei for you later. The emperor said, you just need to wait quietly." As soon as the day comes, everything else will be prepared by the royal family." The eunuch said with envy on his face, "With such treatment in Longzhong, the second princess is the first person in history, you are really a blessed person."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Ling Muer hurriedly took a piece of silver and handed it to her father-in-law. Then she looked at the dowry all over the yard, as if she was going to get married tomorrow, and she really couldn't bear it.

"I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle would be astonishing if he didn't make a move. It seems that we will have to rely on the second concubine to take care of us in the future." Zhao Yang took Ling Zixuan's hand and deliberately teased her.

Ling Mu'er was amused by these words, and when her eyes fell on Ling Zixuan, she found that Zhu Qi who had been by his side had left at some point, she sighed secretly in her heart, but soon she returned to normal. "Brother, Shao Chen said that after getting married, he will transfer you and Brother Zhu away from the Seventh Prince, so this period of time will be hard for you and Brother Zhu."

From the day they planned to leave the capital, it was equivalent to betraying the Seventh Prince. If they continued to work under him, it would only bring greater danger.

But if Shangguan Shaochen asked the emperor for orders now to transfer these two people away from the Seventh Prince and return them to his own command, it would be a bit of a stretch, so he decided to wait for some time and arrange this matter as soon as possible.

It's just that no one expected that this danger would come much sooner than they imagined.

"Okay, I'll listen to Mu'er. Our Mu'er is a blessed person, as expected." Since Ling Zixuan saw the true character of the Seventh Prince, he has no regrets for the former Seventh Prince who was kind to him. .

"Yes, I have long said that Mu'er is the reincarnation of a lucky star, and she is a capable person. May I ask, who in the Ling family village would have thought that the little girl they looked down upon in the past would soon become the second prince's concubine?" Grandma had already laughed. From ear to ear, I feel very proud in my heart.

Everyone came to congratulate Ling Muer, only Yang Shi stood lonely in the corner.

Ling Mu'er saw Yang's loneliness, after everyone left, she quietly came behind Yang, and jumped onto her back like a naughty child, "Mother carry me."

"Hey, you kid, you're going to scare me." Yang Shi was startled by her sudden action, but instinctively caught her with both hands.

"How old are you, and you're still acting like a baby on your mother's back, and you're going to get married soon, so don't be shy." Although she said she didn't want to, she really carried her on her back,

"Mu'er is always my mother's child." Ling Muer simply nestled in Yang's arms, "Mother, tell me, how long has it been since you carried me?"

It was a random question, but Yang Shi really fell into deep thought, "Mother is sorry for letting you bear so much at such a young age, Mu'er, did you blame Mother?"

"What did mother say?" Ling Mu'er hurriedly comforted, "Mother has never been sorry to Mu'er, how could Mu'er blame mother, but does mother really not want me to marry Shao Chen?"

Seeing her daughter's nervousness, Yang quickly shook her head, "Mu'er is getting happiness, how can a mother stop it, mother can see that you and boy Chen are in love, it's a good thing that you can marry someone you like Son, it's too late for mother to be happy."

Yang Shi held her hand tightly, "Mother just feels that I've been sorry to you too much in this life."

Looking at Mu'er's delicate face now, Yang suddenly remembered her dark and thin appearance in Lingjia Village, "Other people's children grow up in their mother's arms, but you are so young. I took up the whole family. At that time, it was my mother who was incompetent and didn’t know how to protect you, so that you were wronged by others. Yes, how long has it been since mother carried you? Do the math, when you can walk on the ground, Mother never carried you on her back or hugged you..."

As she spoke, Yang's voice choked.

In a poor and lonely village like Lingjia Village, as long as the children can walk on the ground and find food for themselves, no one will hold the child in their arms anymore, because they are in a poor situation like hers. To grow food, they have to beg for a living, but also because of this they are sorry for their children.

As long as Yang Shi thinks that her cowardly temper brought so much suffering to Mu'er, she blames herself even more, "It's a good thing that my Mu'er has grown up safely, and it's fortunate that Mu'er has an expert to guide her, and she is a lucky star." Reincarnation, otherwise my mother really can't imagine what kind of life we ​​would live if we were still in that poor mountain village."

Wiping away the teardrops on Yang's face, Ling Mu'er obediently sat beside her, her mind has already returned to many years ago following her words.

I still remember that when she opened her eyes, she saw the environment where the house was not sheltered from the rain, her body was starved for three days and nights, her body was as thin as a stick, her body was poor without shoes in the ice and snow, and she was bullied by her grandmother every day bad life.

Would the real Ling Muer be blamed?

It should be, after all, my mother was so weak and incompetent back then, and she had to take care of her lame brother at a young age.

"Dead, mother, do you know? Ling Mu'er had already died that year."

Hearing this, Yang Shi shuddered, and seeing Ling Muer's eyes, she felt strange for a moment.

Yes, it's not that she hasn't doubted whether the person in front of her is really her daughter. After all, how can there be such a big contrast between one person?

She obviously has never read a book, how could she have so much knowledge?

The food cooked is obviously worse than anyone else's. How could the tavern be opened overnight with so many novel ideas?

Obviously, there is not a decent doctor in the entire Lingjia Village, how could she meet the master in such a dream, and this dream has been going on for so long?

"Mu'er, back then, did you really meet Master in a dream?"
