Chapter 432： Flat Wife (Part 1)

   Qi Haoran's smile froze, his heart beating violently, he knelt down without even thinking about it and said, "The emperor's beautiful minister can only take care of it, but the minister already has a wife."

The emperor waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "If you have a wife, you can have another one." The emperor pointed to Qin Xiang and said, "Qin Xiang has a daughter, who is gentle and virtuous, and can be an equal wife."

All the ministers, including the empress, concubines, princes and princesses, were all stunned, except for Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang's face was light, but he was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't help it. Sometimes he couldn't convince him about what the emperor wanted to do.

Another person who was not stunned was Qi Haoran who was kneeling below. Almost as soon as the emperor's voice fell, Qi Haoran kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness, but I swore when I married my wife that she will be the only one in my life..."

The    emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Oh? Did Qi Aiqing really make such a promise, or is he dissatisfied with the matchmaker I said?"

Of course he wouldn't believe Qi Haoran's words. Which man with some ability wouldn't take a concubine? Only Mushi?

When he is a fool?

The scene calmed down for a while, and everyone stared blankly at the emperor above and Qi Haoran below.

Mu Yangling sat on the seat, her heart was full of anger, she raised her head to look at the emperor, her eyes flashed with cold light, it was obviously the first time they met, how could this person look so ugly?

Mu Yangling forgot the "handsome uncle" he had previously evaluated.

Li Jinghua stiffened nervously, no matter how the emperor's words answered, it was not good, but with the temperament of the fourth uncle, even if he straightened his neck, he would not recognize this marriage.

The thought of    flashed by, but there was a person standing beside her, Li Jinghua was shocked, there was only one Mu Yangling beside her, she stiffened her neck and turned her head to look, and saw that Mu Yangling stood up with a calm face.

Li Jinghua wanted to reach out and hold her, but she lightly avoided her, turned around and walked out.

Mu Yangling suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to put a smile on her face, but found that it seemed difficult, she could only go out with a sullen face.

Mu Yangling stood beside Qi Haoran, knelt down slowly, looked up, and said, "Your Majesty, the court lady has a question I want to ask you."

The Emperor    looked at Mu Yangling quietly for a while, and asked, "Are you Qi Haoran's wife?"

Mu Yangling nodded, smiled, and answered loudly: "Yes, my concubine is Mu Shi."

"Ms. Mu, what do you think of this matchmaker? Would you like to get along with the Fourth Miss Qin?"

Mu Yang smiled spiritually, and she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is already a younger sister in my concubine's family, who is just five years old this year."

The emperor was a little annoyed. He clearly didn't mean that, but Mu Shi actually misunderstood it. He was about to get angry when he listened to Mu Yangling's doubtful tilt of his head, "Your Majesty, my concubine doesn't read much, and she has been growing up in the country, so there are many questions. I understand, if the husband doesn't understand, just ask, so as not to know the false knowledge and make you laugh, and now there is a question that is very confusing to the concubine, so I want to ask you."

The emperor sneered in his heart, and he could almost think of what she was going to ask. It was nothing more than why he gave Qi Haoran a flat wife or something. He was so powerful, how could a country woman understand it?

The emperor nodded arrogantly, "Ask."

Mu Yangling laughed, and as expected, as Big Brother Qi said, he was really suspicious and self-righteous, um, he was stupid in her place, even her mind was not comparable to her, how on earth did he secure the throne?

Mu Yangling asked: "Your Majesty, I have only heard of a wife since I was a child, but I have never heard of the word "equal wife", so I want to ask the emperor what a flat wife is."

The emperor was startled, and then his face got a little feverish. He glanced at the empress beside him. The empress smiled, but she lowered her eyes long ago, just as if she couldn't see the emperor's wink.

is really stupid. At this time, they should directly issue an imperial decree to confer marriage, take things seriously, and do not give them a chance to refute, otherwise they will skip this topic, and there should be no chance for Mu Shi to ask questions.

That's not right, the question of a flat wife shouldn't be brought up in such a place at all. Wouldn't it be enough to call the Qi and Qin families into the palace privately for advice?

I brought it up in front of the ministers at the palace banquet, isn't it enough to lose the face of the royal family?

The emperor didn't answer, the field was quiet for a while, but Mu Yangling looked at him with bright eyes, the emperor was a little uneasy for a while, what should he say?

The emperor took a deep breath, and was about to say that he would agree with his first-born wife, when the following voice said: "Equal wife, as the name suggests, a wife whose status and rights are equal to that of the first-born wife."

The minister of the household, Lu Zhen, glanced at Mu Yangling, who was kneeling, and said with a mocking smile, "Grandma Qi Si doesn't even know such a simple term, so it's obvious that she doesn't read too much."

Qi Haoran took the time to glance at Lu Zhen, with sympathy and gloating in his eyes. Mu Yangling is generally normal, but if she dares to despise her IQ, then she will be abused. She usually doesn't speak much in front of outsiders. But when it comes to arguments, he doesn't lose.

Sure enough, from the corner of Qi Haoran's eyes, he saw Mu Yangling smiling softly and happily, Mu Yangling looked at Lu Zhen, looked at him up and down, and asked with a smile, "This is the one hundred and sixteen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The only Lord Lu who is both an official and a married wife in more than ten years?"

Lu Zhen's face was reddish, he could hear the sarcasm in Mu Yangling's tone, but there was no language defect in her words, so he could only say: "It's Lu Mou."

"Ah~~, Master Lu was able to pass the jinshi examination and was promoted all the way to the minister of household, which shows that he has a lot of knowledge, so I wonder if Master Lu can help the concubine to solve the confusion, what does the wife do in the "Da Zhou Law"? What does your wife mean in "The Law of the Great Zhou"?" Mu Yangling looked at him and asked with a smile, "Lord Lu, why are you sweating on your head?"

Lu Zhen's face turned pale, glanced at the emperor, and shouted, "This is a palace banquet, and everyone wants a banquet. It's not a place for you to answer your questions. If you don't understand, you can ask your husband or your husband later."

Mu Yangling smiled, and the sullenness in her heart finally dissipated. She was still a little undecided about whether to offend the emperor. After all, if they offended this time, their life would be somewhat inconvenient in the future. Fortunately, Lu Zhen ran out.

Mu Yangling said that she loved him very much at this time, and it was really time to run away.

"Lord Lu, I'm afraid that this question is not limited to concubines. Many people also have questions. Most of the gentlemen outside are specializing in art. If you ask them about classics and historical books, they may be able to say one, two or three, but If you ask the word 'flat wife', no one in the Zhou Dynasty is as proficient as Lord Lu, right?"

As soon as Mu Yangling finished speaking, an old man with a white beard sitting on the head of Prime Minister Qin stroked his beard and smiled: "Mr. Mu is right, Mr. Lu, Yan's natural knowledge is not bad, but he also really wants to know about his wife. What do you do in the "Law of the Great Zhou"?"

Everyone didn't speak, and looked at Lu Zhen with interest. Compared with performances that were similar every year, everyone was more interested in this gossip. Anyway, the fire couldn't burn them.
