"Xie Changgeng, what else are you doing?"

"If it weren't for the sake of my father, today, I wouldn't have allowed you to step into my Changsha country again!"

The sound of Mu Xuanqing's speech seemed to echo on the tall and dome-like roof of the temple.

Xie Changgeng looked calm and said to him with the rituals of the king. After the ceremony, he said, "The king only said that it is true, but not the reason. Can you tell me why?"

Mu Xuanqing's two gazes stabbed Xie Changgeng on the opposite side like sharp arrows with anger.

"You are a huge enemy. On that day, your father ignored your identity and was very fond of your green eyes. I will betroth the orphan Prince and Sister. I fulfilled my contract in Changsha and married my sister far away at the beginning of the year. Not to mention that she traveled across mountains and rivers to marry you from Kuizhou, you will leave her alone on the wedding night. After she arrived at your Xie family, she served her elders, presided over the gifts and mercy on the servants. Have you ever lost your courtesy or complained about her?"

"My Lonely King, what did you do wrong? I have only been in the Xie family's door for half a year and was so humiliated? What kind of family is your Xie family? How dare you be so despised by the Lord of Changsha?"

Mu Xuanqing clenched his fists tightly, and above the back of his hand, blue veins crisscrossed and raised one after another.

"Thank you Changgeng!"

He gritted his teeth and called out the man opposite in an extremely disgusting tone.

"What are animals in clothes, and their appearance as if they are owls and cranes? They are shameless people like you!"

"You are determined and extremely dirty! You came to Changsha to propose marriage three years ago and were determined to stick with me. If my father had not been deceived by you and helped you, how could you enter the official career and make a fortune?"

"You ungrateful, ungrateful villain! You are so arrogant to treat the orphan prince, can you deceive me, no one in Changsha?"

"Xie Jiedushi, although you are powerful and arrogant now, my Changsha Kingdom is just a small country, but the ancestors of the Mu family are so heroic, and their descendants are as lonely as their descendants. No matter how incompetent you are, they will never sit idly by and watch Wang Mei be so humiliated by you!"

"You come to worship the former king, and I will not make things difficult for you. Since you have finished worshiping, please give yourself your own benefit! My Changsha National Temple is small and I cannot tolerate you, the great Buddha!"

He paused and threw a document to the ground.

"Listen, from today on, my Mu family will have no relationship with you! The orphan king sister has nothing to do with you anymore! Men and women will do their own good!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.

"Let's wait!"

Xie Changgeng, who had just been silent, suddenly spoke.

Mu Xuanqing stopped, but did not turn around.

Xie Changgeng did not look at the things on the ground and walked over from the side.

"Xie understands what Your Highness meant. Every word and sentence that Your Highness scolded him was extremely scolded. Xie had no intention of making excuses, and there was no way to defend himself. However, there were indeed some misunderstandings in the middle. If it was not explained, it would hurt the harmony in this way. I am afraid that he would have given Xie a lesson when his father-in-law gave him the marriage."

Mu Xuanqing slowly turned his face and looked at him coldly.

"To be honest, as soon as I came back, I immediately set out here, not only to worship the ancestors of the Mu family and the former kings of Changsha, but also to take back the Lord..."

"What else should I take it back for?" Mu Xuanqing was furious.

"Is it because you're not that humiliating?"

Xie Changgeng looked calm.

"If Xie's thoughts are correct and His Highness is so angry, the reason is that my mother once said and took a concubine in front of the Lord. But Your Highness only knows one thing, not the other. It is precisely because of some misunderstandings that Xie needs to explain."

Mu Xuanqing sneered without saying a word.

"Xie went home last month and learned that the Lord Weng had returned to Changsha. He listened to the words of his subordinates in the family. In the past six months, the Lord Weng has been condescending and noble, serving my mother sooner or later, and also serving my virtuous and peaceful Zhuangjing, a family's boudoir, and neighbors all praised him. Although his return to peace was a bit sudden, he must be understandable."

"The cause of the incident lies in my mother. In my early years, Xie was unfilial and was very troubled by his mother. In the difficult times, he was once very kind to others. Now both parents died and the situation was difficult. My mother was devoted to the old love and was not considerate for a while. Then she rashly mentioned bringing the woman in front of the master. According to the mother's words, the master agreed immediately."

Xie Changgeng paused.

"My mother was ignorant of her family and was trapped in the back hall of the door. She had no knowledge and was also honest. When she saw the Lord Weng agree, she only cared about joy and was grateful for the Lord Weng's generous and fulfilled. How could she think about whether this move was comprehensive?"

"On the day Xie returned home, he learned about this from his mother's mouth. It was not that Xie defended himself, but he felt that it was inappropriate. He just couldn't bear to let his mother down. He heard that the master of the past has made a generous promise, so he thought of taking the master back first and then discussing it in the future."

"This incident made Your Highness angry. The fault lies in Xie. It is my blessing to get a wife like this. What's more, I, Xie Changgeng, and my father-in-law, had the kindness he met back then. Xie has not yet repaid one ten thousandth of the time?"

"Don't worry, your highness, what should you do in the future, Xie knows what to do. When he takes the master back, Xie will apologize to her for my mother."

He stared at Mu Xuanqing with a calm expression.

Mu Xuanqing said word by word: "Xie Changgeng, you are not a good match for Wang Mei! Since Wang Mei is back by herself, no matter how clever you are today, you can't even think about letting Wang Mei go and then entering the Xie family with you!"

"Xie was puzzled by Your Highness's words. Marriage is the love between the two surnames, not a joke."

He looked around the Mu Family Temple and his eyes fell on the tablet of the old Changsha King.

"No matter how Your Highness thinks of Xie, my marriage with Ling Mei was decided by my father-in-law that day. There are no missing members and six evidences. It is a joke. Although my mother was wrong and was guilty of the master, she just said inappropriate words and did not make any extraordinary deeds. No one can do anything wrong with others? Besides, she is just an old woman in the countryside. Your Highness is so aggressive, it is unkind, right?"

His face was still smiling, but his tone also a little aggravated, implicitly powerful.

Mu Xuanqing's face became extremely stiff, and he stared at the man in blue clothes and standing on the opposite side, and gritted his teeth for a while, saying, "Xie Changgeng! It's okay for you to be honest and charming for the sake of being strong, but you are still in love with others and colluding with them! You cling to..."

"My King!"

Just then, a woman's voice came from outside the temple, interrupting Mu Xuanqing's words.

Xie Changgeng raised his eyes.

On the steps outside the temple, at some point, a young woman in gorgeous clothes stood on the steps. She had a beautiful face and was elegant and generous. She was the queen of Changsha.

Lu stopped her husband's angry words in time, stepped forward, cast a dark look at her husband, then stepped into the temple threshold, came to Xie Changgeng, and smiled and said, "Mr. Xie came from afar. My Changsha national etiquette is not well-known. If you have any offense, please forgive me."

Xie Changgeng smiled slightly and greeted Lu.

"It is a great honor for Xie to be able to see the queen of Changsha. How could he say that he is rude?"

Lu returned half a ceremony.

"I am impressed by the generals of Jiedu. I must be exhausted all the way, so I will go to the post house for a while. My king will prepare a night banquet in the mansion and then welcome the governors to clean up the dust."

"As for the matter of Wang Mei..."

She paused.

"Please rest assured and discuss it later. I wonder what the Jiedushi thought?"

Xie Changgeng smiled: "Thank you. I'll bother you."

He stopped the smile on his face, his expression turned solemn, and turned around. Under the two gloomy gazes from Mu Xuanqing behind him, he saluted respectfully again at the old Changsha King's tablet. After kneeling down, he stood up, stepped out of the temple threshold and strode away.

...

When the Lu family returned to the royal palace, they didn't even have time to remove their clothes and clothes. They immediately rushed to Mu Fulan's boudoir, stepped back and closed the door.

"Lan'er, fortunately, I heard you and rushed to the home temple in time, which stopped your brother Wang's rage. His temper was still too rude! If Xie Changgeng heard his disrespectful words to Empress Liu and sued him in front of the traitor, the situation of my Changsha Kingdom in the future would be even worse."

Mu Fulan was silent.

"When Xie Changgeng came to propose marriage three years ago, I only took a look at him from afar. At that time, I felt that he was a heroic style, which was different from ordinary people. Today, I compared him to him, and then I realized why he was young and became a military governor. He should be the same age as your brother Wang, but his cleverness is far beyond your brother Wang's favor."

She frowned and worried.

"I heard from him that I don't want to let you go home. You have passed the door, and he said nothing, and I will take away all the things about taking a concubine. If he must not let go and get entangled, your wish will probably be difficult to achieve for a while."

Mu Fulan said, "Sister-in-law, after the night banquet, please let him come to my place."

Lu hurriedly said, "Lan'er, don't get me wrong. Since my sister-in-law promised to help you, she will not break her promise. My sister-in-law's meaning is that this person is not easy to deal with, so she asks you to be prepared for the matter, so that if things cannot be decided quickly, it will disappoint you. Don't worry, even if he doesn't nod, you are already back. As long as your brother Wang grabbed him and took a concubine in Xie's family and refused to let you go, this is Changsha. How dare he do something to force a robbery?"

"Xie Changgeng is indeed not easy to deal with. That's why things will be delayed, and it will not be a good thing for Brother Wang and my Changsha Kingdom."

"This matter was caused by me, and it was my own business with him. No matter how much my brother and sister-in-law talked to him, it was like scratching the surface. It would be better for me to explain the matter clearly with him and settle it as soon as possible."

Lu was stunned.

"Lan'er, this Xie Changgeng is really not an easy person to deal with... My sister-in-law is afraid that you can't handle it..."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law!"

"He and I are also husband and wife. It is necessary to make it clear. Whether it can be done or not, I will give it a try."

Lu looked at his sister-in-law.

Her eyes were clear and she looked at herself with a smile.

Lu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay. Then I'll talk to your brother Wang. If you have anything to say, you can tell someone in person. If he can listen, that's the best."

Mu Fulan smiled and said, "Thank you, my sister-in-law!"

...

Night falls. A night banquet for guests is being held in the banquet hall of the King's Mansion in Changsha.

The giant candle in the middle of the arm is lined up in the east and west wings in the hall, like two fire dragons, illuminating the entire hall as bright as daytime. Musical instruments are hung high under the left and right eaves in front of the hall. There are great music bells and drums in the southern columns in the hall. In front of the giant candles, the gilded lords set on the green jade tables shine under the lights.

All regulations are only one level above the emperor.

Such a grandeur can only be seen in the family of kings and princes.

Before the eastward seat, the copper turtle on the left and the copper turtle on the right, and the crane spit out wisps of ambergris cigarettes from the mouth.

Mu Xuanqing sat here.

Xie Changgeng, the governor of Hexi, was in the position of host and guest.

The officials of Changsha who came to accompany the guests also took their seats in order of esteemed and inferiority.

In the front hall of the palace, the lights are bright and the drums and music are ringing tonight, but the backyard is covered with secluded.

The dark night covered the flowers and trees, and the shadows of the eaves were as if they were drawn. The lanterns spit out a dim light, illuminating the winding and deep path leading to the princess's sleep.
