Cui Shangzhou followed Mu Xuan's wishes and sent Lu Qiao to an unoccupied house where his mother had been married.
He also sent a maid and a mother-in-law to serve her.
In addition, two young men with good skills were sent to help guard.
After Lu Qiao was settled, he followed Mu Xuan's assignment to investigate Lu Tan's death.
For this reason, I went to Nanyang again to find Nanny Lei to confront Lu Qiao.
With Cui Shangzhou helping him with matters outside, Mu Xuan can worry a lot less.
No matter what, at least he has Cui Shangzhou, his most trustworthy friend.
But he said that Mu Rong returned to the palace and replied to King Yu's words.
Mu Xuan did not return home, so he was not surprised.
Although it was hard to get angry in front of Concubine Yan, he still scolded him with a livid face: "Things that forget your ancestors."
Seeing that her son was angry, Mrs.
Yan couldn't help but say goodbye and asked with a smile: "Your eldest brother is alone, he can bear it."
Mu Rong said: "Why is he alone?
I heard that Cui Qiye often visits him.
Today I saw Cui Qiye taking a woman with him."
King Yu felt strange and asked more: "Isn't he claiming to be a monk?
Besides, why are there women in the temple?"
"I don't know.
That woman was wearing a very loose monk's robe, but she didn't look like a monk.
She kept her head down and I don't know what she looked like, but she shouldn't be a young woman."
Mu Jing chuckled from below and said, "Our eldest brother has a unique taste."
The princess gave Mu Jing a sideways glance, and Mu Jing obediently shut up, while the Crown Princess shook her head helplessly.
Concubine Yan asked: "The Cui family's Xiao Qi and Da Lang are still as close as before."
Mu Rong said: "Yes, the only one the eldest brother has contact with is Master Cui Qi."
King Yu said: "Those two people have been playing together since childhood.
They have been colluding together and are not worth mentioning."
However, Concubine Yan shook her head and said: "I think it would be better to let this Cui Xiaoqi come in one day and ask him to help persuade Da Lang.
Maybe he will listen to a few words, and maybe it will be more effective than what we say."
After hearing this, King Yu frowned and said: "If he still cares about his family, he should come back without being persuaded.
This brat has a stubborn temper, just like a stone in a latrine.
A thing without a father or a mother should not have been born in the first place. he."
In this family, the one closest to Mu Xuan was Mu Rong.
He felt that his eldest brother was not as ruthless as his family said.
Although sometimes a little cold.
But he's not bad.
After getting along with him for a long time, you will find that the eldest brother is actually a very good person.
Mu Rong wanted to say a few good words about Mu Xuan in front of her father.
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Maybe it's because my eldest brother grew up in a temple.
When I come back by chance, I feel like I can't get close to him.
I definitely don't have any other ideas."
King Yu said angrily: "Do you still blame me for sending him to Puci Temple in the first place?
If it weren't for Master Yuankong, I'm afraid he would have died long ago."
"Okay, don't say anything.
Da Lang will come back if he wants to.
The Crown Princess will arrange a house for you.

If you don't want to come back, don't force it.
By the way, the princess told me a while ago that she asked me to come back.
Dalang is looking for a suitable woman.
Dalang is not young anymore.
He is already twenty-three years old.
You parents should also consider it. " Concubine Yan once again pushed the matter onto Prince Yu and the princess.
The princess had never said a few words to her stepson, but now she wanted her to take care of his marriage.
How could she want to.
Concubine Yan added: "Since Da Lang wants to get married, we must buy him some property."
The princess immediately said: "Didn't the former princess still keep half of her dowry?
Just use that."
King Yu estimated that the Chai family's dowry was quite generous at the beginning, and the four villages together had thousands of acres of land.
The largest of the two villages had been converted into Qixia Villa.
There are also some shops, there are about ten shops in Quanzhou, and there are about ten shops in Yangzhou.
Duan Hui divided half of it, and the stewards of the house helped to cook the remaining half.
The princess has also been in charge of the shop's income over the years.
"Princess, please take out all the account books in the shop.
From now on, let the shopkeeper go to the princess to reconcile the accounts."
"What?"
The princess was shocked, why was she suddenly asked to hand over her account books?
"Is there anything wrong?"
The princess shook her head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "No, no, no.
I'll have someone sort it out later and send it to the villa."
"It is my intention that the princess returns home now.
I don't want her to suffer the same fate in the Ji family.
Now that she has a property, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Let her do whatever she likes.
Don't interfere too much. she."
The princess also didn't like this stepdaughter, and she always treated Duan Hui indifferently.
After hearing this, she said: "It's just what the prince ordered."
Concubine Yan sighed and said: "A family should always be harmonious.
What the Chai family left behind was shared equally between their siblings, and what fell into the hands of the elder man was not much.
The prince should think about it. , Let’s see if we can provide some more arrangements.
After all, we are also a clan, and Dalang is the eldest son, so there are rules for getting married.”
King Yu respectfully agreed.
Everyone sat for a while, and the conversation was almost entirely about the princess sister and brother.
Later, when King Yu saw that Concubine Yan looked tired, he stood up and said he wanted to leave.
Concubine Yan cheered up and said, "You all should go your separate ways.
Your Majesty, stay here.
I have a few more words to say to you."
The princess waited until she stood up and left.
Most of the people in the room retreated, and only two close attendants were still there.
Concubine Yan waved her hand, causing the rest of the people to retreat.
"As for the princess, do you plan to let her live here for the rest of her life?"
King Yu didn't know why his mother suddenly said this, and he was a little puzzled: "Why can't it be done?"

"She is only in her twenties.
Do we want her to be alone all her life?
She won't even have someone to die with when she gets old."
"The Ji family is nothing.
I also know how Xianger lived there.
Our daughter cannot allow others to bully her like this.
It will not harm the royal family's face."
Concubine Yan shook her head and said, "You are too reckless in this matter, but you have thought about the future for her."
Prince Yu said anxiously: "Why haven't I thought about the ambitions of those people in the Ji family?
They are just jealous of getting Xian'er's property in the future."
"There is nothing wrong with choosing an heir.
At least there will be someone to worship him after death.
Besides, the right to choose an heir is in our hands, why can't we choose a puppet?"
King Yu felt that the concubine's words were too naive, and his daughter's life in the Ji family was like a backwater.
He just couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer.
That's why he spared no effort to bring his daughter back home.
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no point in saying more.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with her being like this."
"Okay, let's not talk about the fait accompli for now.
I think we should choose a family for her while she is still young.
You see, the eldest princess Chang Ning has also remarried, and the eldest princess Yongen has also remarried.
The princesses are all If you can remarry, there is no reason for the princess to stick to it.
Our royal family doesn't have such rules.
It would be easier to mention it to the Queen Mother when you enter the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. " It's not like he hasn't thought about letting his daughter remarry.
It's better than living a lifeless life in the Ji family.
King Yu also seriously considered this matter.
Said: "I will consider it."
Concubine Yan nodded happily and said: "I'm afraid you will have to worry more about Da Lang's marriage.
It's better to let Xiao Qi of the Cui family come in.
I'll talk to him and let him persuade me.
Maybe.
It works better than us."
King Yu responded yes.
What happened that year made Concubine Yan unable to sleep or eat well, and she always felt that she owed the siblings.
Now I hope I can do something to make up for it.
One day later, Cui Shouze brought his nephew Cui Shangzhou into the palace.
Cui Shangzhou bowed to King Yu in a formal manner: "Please give me peace, Your Majesty."
King Yu glanced at him.
He had not noticed how old the Cui family boy was in recent years.
He nodded and said, "You rarely come in.
I heard that you follow the boss.
What has he been busy with recently?"
Cui Shangzhou naturally did not dare to tell King Yu about Mu Xuan's request for him to inquire about the past.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "Uncle Mu is still the same as before, either chanting sutras, meditating or practicing martial arts to strengthen his body.
He is doing well."

King Yu asked again: "I heard that he often goes to the villa.
How long does he stay at each time?"
Cui Shangzhou was not very clear about this, so he smiled and said: "The prince asked this.
Even a young man can't answer it."
Prince Yu did not pursue the question any further and waved his hand: "Go, the concubine is waiting for you."
Cui Shangzhou was a little confused.
It turned out that the person who asked him to enter the palace was not the prince but the concubine.
It was probably because of Mu Xuan.
Cui Shangzhou remembered Mu Xuan's previous instructions and had to deal with it with great vigor.
Concubine Yan received Cui Shangzhou in the quiet and livable little flower hall.
He also specially left a place for him so that the maid could hold some tea fruits.
"It's been a long time since your mother came in to say hello.
She's so kind."
Cui Shangzhou stood up and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Princess.
My mother is still in good health."
"Since she is healthy, let her come in and talk to me.
Your Cui family and our Mu family have been friends for generations.
Your grandmother used to come in and talk to me playing cards.
After your grandmother left, my aunt and uncle Auntie, and your mother also visit each other frequently.
You are now close to our elder, which is a good thing. " Cui Shangzhou was a little confused as he started to establish friendship.
Then Concubine Yan also asked about Mu Xuan's recent movements, just like Prince Yu did.
However, Concubine Yan asked more carefully, including who else was serving in the temple, how they were living, food, and whether they had enough clothes. wait.
No matter the details, Cui Sangzhou answered the part he knew.
After hearing this, Concubine Yan sighed and said: "The prince has been in poor health since he was a child.
It's very pitiful.
In addition, his mother passed away early and there were few people around to take care of him.
The prince also invited many famous doctors, even the royal family in the palace.
Doctors came to see me, but he was still very ill.
Later, we met Master Yuankong and asked us to entrust Dalang to him.
We didn't have much hope at first. , Unexpectedly, he has improved.
His body is gradually getting better, and he is much stronger than before.
Well, it is also because he grew up in a temple, so there is always some distance between him and his family.
I’m happy, so I invited you here today because I want you to help persuade him and see if you can persuade him to go home more often. " What kind of person Mu Xuan is, perhaps there is no one in the entire palace who is more familiar with him than Cui Shangzhou.
He lowered his head and reported back: "The concubine ordered it, I will give it a try."
Concubine Yan nodded happily and said: "He is a member of the royal family and the eldest son of our clan.
We don't want him to embark on a path of no return in the future.
We also hope that he can gradually return to the right path and live a better life.
A normal person should live a life.
The house where the late princess lived is still there, and I have people clean it from time to time.
He can live there or elsewhere. " He added: "He is not young anymore.
At the beginning of the year, the princess told us that we should marry him a housewife.
I have left this matter to the princess.
I hope it can be decided this year.
I am also planning to give him a housewife."
He will never be wronged if he buys some property.

Tell him all this.
Tell him that everyone in the house is thinking about him and no one has forgotten him.
I just hope he can see it.
Seeing my children and grandchildren in peace and beauty.”
Listening to Concubine Yan's words, Cui Shangzhou thought to himself that it would be useless for him to be a lobbyist because Mu Xuan had already seen through everything.
Now the people here are forcing him to come back again, and they also say that they want to marry him.
They are really forcing him to come back, and they are afraid that even nine cows will not be able to come back by then.
Concubine Yan finally said with a smile: "Remember to ask your mother to come in and sit down.
I have important matters to discuss with you."
Cui Shangzhou murmured in his heart, could this concubine want to be a matchmaker for him?
"Good boy, if you can successfully persuade Da Lang to come back, then the prince and I will thank you properly."
Cui Shangzhou hurriedly said: "I don't dare."
Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Don't you dare?
You have really accomplished great things for our family.
I will naturally thank you very much."
After Cui Shangzhou left, Concubine Yan stared at the long carved window for a long time until her wife came in to say hello.
Concubine Yan raised her head and said to her, "Send your son to come in tomorrow.
I have something to do with him."
The wife who accompanied the roommate said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell him when I get back."
The princess here accepted the task assigned by the concubine, and turned around and said to the princess: "Go and make a list for me of several marriageable girls who are close to you."
The Crown Princess responded yes.
The princess thought of something and suddenly asked: "I seem to have heard someone say that the prince bought a house in the alley behind Xiadong Street.
Do you know?"
The Crown Princess had never heard of it, so she quickly asked: "This is also the first time my daughter-in-law has heard it."
"A daughter-in-law should always care about the people around her, and she should still ask about things that should be asked."
The princess scolded her daughter-in-law and thought to herself, it's bad, she shouldn't ask too much.
It turns out that my wife didn’t know.
In addition to having a house, she also heard that her son had a room outside the house to live there.
It would be fine if her daughter-in-law also knew about it.
This family is just afraid that there will be another storm.
Sure enough, the Crown Princess already had doubts in her heart.
She did not show it in front of her mother-in-law, suppressed her curiosity, and immediately looked for someone to inquire about it
