I was kissed after I slag the prince of the enemy country

Chapter 44

Mu Tiankuo looked at Chu Chen in a daze. The other person's face had lost half a circle of weight due to the long-distance travel, and his complexion was a little cold.Especially those eyes that were once full of intimacy towards him are now filled with uneasiness and defense.

Mu Tiankuo felt pain in his heart, he just wanted to go forward and hug him, but he was afraid of shocking him.

This time the matter was so hasty that even he was taken aback, let alone Chu Chen.

"They didn't discuss with me about the marriage, and I only found out today." Mu Tiankuo explained to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen couldn't help sneering in his heart when he heard this, but said flatly on his face: "That would be a wrong to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Did you come willingly?" Mu Tiankuo asked him.

In the final analysis, what Mu Tiankuo was most afraid of was forcing Chu Chen, no matter how much he wanted to get close to this person, he didn't want him to be wronged.

Chu Chen looked at Mu Tiankuo, only to see that the other party's eyes were so deep that it was hard to see through.What he always remembered in his mind was the fact that the other party poisoned him, and now he couldn't help being a little afraid when he saw someone, wondering if the other party wanted to test himself by asking this question?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen said: "I had already forgotten His Highness, I never thought of coming to Yao Kingdom, and never thought of meeting His Highness again. This time it was the third brother who forced me to come. Your documents Li mentioned the matter of getting married, and he didn't want to refuse, so he sent me here." The implication is that this pot belongs to the crown prince, and if you want to settle accounts, don't blame me.

Mu Tiankuo's eyes darkened when he heard the words, but no emotion could be seen on his face.

"Chen Chen, guess I was in the yard just now..." Lu Jing strode into Chu Shen's room, saw Mu Tiankuo's back and couldn't help but startled, and asked, "Hey, who is this? Why is this in your room?" inside?"

Mu Tiankuo's eyes froze, and he asked coldly, "What did you call him just now?"

Only then did Lu Jing recognize who the other party was, and hurriedly saluted, "Lu Mou joins His Highness."

Mu Tiankuo didn't return the salute, but just stared at Lu Jing, his eyes seemed to pierce Lu Jing.

Lu Jing hurriedly said: "This time Lu was ordered by the crown prince to escort His Highness Six."

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and none of the three spoke.

After a while, Mu Tiankuo said coldly: "Let's go, there is more than half a day's journey away from the royal city, and we won't be able to arrive before dark."

After he finished speaking, he went straight out of the room, and Lu Jing heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Chu Chen, only to see that Chu Chen's face was a little pale.

"Did he embarrass you?" Lu Xuan asked.

"No." Chu Chen took a deep breath, trying to get his heartbeat back to normal.

Counting it, it has been less than two months since Mu Tiankuo left the capital.But Chu Chen noticed that the other party had changed a lot. When he was in the capital, Chu Chen had a feeling that he couldn't see through Mu Tiankuo, but now the other party became more and more introverted. Even if he was face to face, Chu Chen couldn't detect the other party's emotions. .

This feeling made Chu Chen feel strange and uneasy.

Mu Tiankuo came here alone today, without even a guard.At the time of departure, the post house sent a small group of people to follow behind.Mu Tiankuo rode a horse in front, while Lu Jing rode a horse parallel to the carriage that Chu Chen was sitting in.

"Has everything been arranged?" Chu Chen raised the curtain of the car and asked Lu Xuan.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to take a look when I have a chance later," Lu Jing said.

Chu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Concubine Rong had Chongyang and Ling'er on her side, as well as the guards left by Lu Jing, so there was no need to worry too much.What he needs to worry about now is his own safety, and Mu Tiankuo didn't look good when he met today, and even bluntly said that the marriage was not his idea, what does that mean?

"This Yao countryman is too rude, and he was the only one sent to greet the relatives." Lu Jing whispered quite dissatisfied.

Chu Chen said: "Do you think everyone is as generous as this king? I think before I went to your house to propose marriage, the whole capital couldn't find a second one because of the scene. The bank in my palace was almost destroyed. Hollowed out."

"That's true, the three-day and three-night drama alone is enough to shake the capital." Lu Jing said.

Chu Chen still looked proud when he mentioned this matter, and Lu Jing felt a little sore in his eyes.

For a person like Chu Chen, who came to Yao country from afar, he was wronged, and the other party still treats him like this, which is too much.However, they are now on other people's territory, and Da Chu has no deterrent power as their backing, so they can only endure this grievance.

At the front of the line, Mu Tiankuo, who had excellent hearing, heard the two of them muttering clearly.

I saw him with a stern expression on his face, and headed towards Wangcheng Juechen with his horse's belly and whip.

Outside Wangcheng, officials and palace officials of Yao Kingdom are rushing out of the city with guards of honor prepared overnight.

This matter came really suddenly, they have been up all night without sleep, and they made such a little noise.It was originally planned that after the prince came back from the camp, he would go to get married with the guard of honor, but when the prince heard that the sixth highness of Dachu had come, he immediately picked up a fast horse, and went straight overnight without even having time to change his clothes. post house.

By the time the Ministry of Rites heard the news, it was already the second day.

In desperation, they could only take people to greet them.

Just like that, Mu Tiankuo, who came back in a hurry, saw the guard of honor prepared by the Ministry of Rites outside the city.

"That's it?" Mu Tiankuo asked with a dark face, looking at the guard of honor that had been assembled in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness, forgive me, the incident happened suddenly, I have tried my best." The etiquette official said with a bitter face.

Mu Tiankuo recalled the commotion last time before Chu Chen and Lu Jing were married in the capital city. At that time, everyone in the capital city knew about their marriage.On the other hand, the shabby and perfunctory guard of honor in front of him is simply a shame.

"Take them all away, don't embarrass yourself here." Mu Tiankuo said coldly.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you. They think it is wrong to leave, but they dare not stay.

The people from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "Last night, the humble staff led people to tidy up a garden in the Wangcheng overnight, for the Sixth Highness of the Great Chu and the people of the mission to stay temporarily..."

"Which other garden in Wangcheng can still live in?" Mu Tiankuo asked coldly.

"This... is just a temporary residence, in the future..."

"No need, Gu will take people back to the East Palace directly." Mu Tiankuo said.

"This... is against the rules." The man said with a bitter face.

Mu Tiankuo snorted coldly, thinking to himself which thing you are doing now is in line with the rules?

It's ridiculous to think of the rules when things come to an end!

Everyone was obviously very afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they had to follow his advice.

So at dusk that day, Chu Chen, Lu Jing and others were taken directly to the East Palace.

Lu Jing kept his face on the way, apparently very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but she was afraid that Chu Chen would be unhappy, so she kept silent.It wasn't until seeing Chu Chen's arranged residence that Lu Jing's face became a little better.

Chu Chen's residence is very grand from the inside to the outside.

Lu Jing could tell at a glance that this place was by no means an ordinary guest room or side hall.

It's just that he was a little puzzled for a while. When Mu Tiankuo picked him up, he didn't even have a guard of honor. He thought that the other party wanted to neglect Chu Chen deliberately, and maybe directly set up a dilapidated residence for Chu Chen.But now that Mu Tiankuo placed Chu Chen in such an imposing place, it didn't seem like he was being negligent on purpose.

East Palace Study Room.

The people in the Ministry of Rites stood in the hall tremblingly, not daring to lift their heads.

"Did you ever think about discussing with the orphan before sending the letter of credence?" Mu Tiankuo said angrily, "Now that you're caught off guard, and such a big thing as getting married, didn't you think about being prepared when you brought it up casually?"

The man hurriedly said: "It's really because Da Chu acted too casually..."

"Are you the same as Gu's reasoning against Da Chu?" Mu Tiankuo laughed back angrily, and asked, "Gu just ask you, who mentioned the marriage in the national book?"

"It's... the national teacher." The man said hastily.

"Very good!" Mu Tiankuo took a deep breath, barely suppressed his anger, and said, "The national teacher and Chu Xiao have a good deal, one mentions it casually, and the other responds casually, so they give it away." Come here." The Chu Xiao he was talking about was Prince Da Chu.

The man couldn't understand Mu Tiankuo's thoughts, he only thought that he was dissatisfied with this marriage, and said tentatively: "If His Highness really doesn't like it, we can find an excuse and send him back."

"Send it back?" Mu Tiankuo said angrily: "Come when you come, leave when you are asked, what do you think he is? A thing that can be taken at will? You keep saying that it is inappropriate to abandon your shabby guard of honor Li, it is not proper to say that it is not proper for a person to be brought into the East Palace, but now you are rude to the future princess, what kind of courtesy is it?"

"Damn the lowly position." The man didn't expect that his words touched the crown prince's scales, and immediately fell to his knees.

Mu Tiankuo wished he could kick the person in front of him away, but he also knew that the fault of the Ministry of Rites was not in the final analysis, and the people who wanted to come to the Ministry of Rites had learned about it temporarily, otherwise they would not have been so hasty.

"Your Highness." A palace official came in to report outside the door: "The Sixth Highness of the Great Chu and the accompanying people have been settled. According to His Highness, His Highness Sixth Highness has been placed in His Highness's bedroom, but... is Your Highness resting today?" over there?"

Mu Tiankuo heard the words and said: "Just clean up a room next to the dormitory for Gu Gu and come out."

"Yes." Hearing the words, the palace servant hurriedly left.

The man from the Ministry of Rites was so regretful that his intestines turned green. In the current situation, the prince actually let people live in his bedroom, and even moved out himself.If he knew that the crown prince attached so much importance to the Sixth Highness, he would not say the words "send him back" even if he was killed.

East Palace bedroom.

Chu Chen looked around and was very satisfied with the residence.

"This place is much more spacious than my palace." Chu Chen then picked up the private seal placed on the desk, and saw that the private seal was quite delicately carved and made of exquisite materials. People lived here before? I didn’t have time to take away the things.”

Lu Jing leaned over to take a look, and said, "This private seal should not be commonly used. It is probably only used when painting or inscribing. Generally, no one will display private seals that are used for correspondence. face."

"That is to say, the person who lives here is originally an elegant person?" Chu Chen asked.

"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded.

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows, and said: "Look at the decoration here, it is low-key and luxurious. I think the people who lived here before should have a high status. Guess, in this East Palace, who else besides the prince can have such treatment ?”

"You mean to say that the prince's concubine lived here before?" Lu Jing asked.

"Or a male favourite." Chu Chen said.

Lu Xuan looked helpless, but he couldn't refute.

It is really hard to believe that this place was previously inhabited by insignificant people.

"Your Highness, do you mind if there is a caring person in the Prince's Mansion?" Lu Jing asked.

"I wish he could raise ten or eight." Chu Chen said, "In this way, he won't care about me, and I can still be happy and quiet."

Lu Jing looked at Chu Chen, and couldn't tell whether Shen's words were true or not.

In fact, he still felt sorry for Chu Chen, for fear that the other party had placed too many extravagant expectations on Mu Tiankuo and ended up disappointed in the end.

"Shen Chen." Lu Jing asked seriously: "Tell me the truth, do you still have him in your heart?"

Chu Chen chuckled lightly, and said, "My heart is very shallow, and I can't hold too many old people."

Lu Jing smiled and said: "That's good, if you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one. Only by being open and bright can you live happily."

In the courtyard, Mu Tiankuo sighed softly, turned and left.

Since leaving Dachu till today, he has thought about this matter more than once.With the previous misunderstanding, and the fact that Chu Chen already has a marriage contract with Lu Jing, how much position does Mu Tiankuo have in Chu Chen's heart?

But when he heard this answer today, he was not too depressed.If Chu Chen still has him in his heart, he is naturally happy. If Chu Chen can't hold him as an old man in his heart, then he will make himself a new man in the other party's heart.

Anyway, the man had already arrived at his mansion, and he had enough patience with this man.

Mu Tiankuo walked out of the courtyard gate, and the man from the Ministry of Rites rushed up.

"Your Highness, let's go back and make preparations for the wedding ceremony." The man said attentively, "I wonder if Your Highness has any requirements for the wedding ceremony?"

Mu Tiankuo stopped when he heard the words, turned his head and glanced at the bedroom behind him, and said, "At the gate of the East Palace, build a stage, no... two, one at the end of the street. The stage should be high and large. , but also in a grand and festive manner, before Gu gets married, invite the best opera troupe from Yao Kingdom to sing."

"Uh... yes." Although the man was puzzled by Mu Tiankuo's request, he still complied.

Then Mu Tiankuo said again: "Sing for three days and three nights before the big wedding, and sing for three days and three nights after the big wedding."

"Yes." The other party replied again.

"Also, on the day of the wedding, there must be not only guards of honor, but also gongs and drums. It should be more lively and ostentatious." Mu Tiankuo said: "On the day of the wedding, I will take the Crown Princess for a walk on the busiest street in Wangcheng. By then, let the people in the whole city know about our marriage."

That person: ...

Hasn't His Royal Highness always kept a low profile?Was this taken away?
