After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The eldest princess waited outside the palace for a long time, but the emperor did not summon her.

"What is the identity of this woman?" The eldest princess couldn't help but frown and asked.

Yan Mu curled his lips and said, "I heard she is the dancer from Mingyue Pavilion."

"A prostitute, but the emperor brought her back to the palace, what a shame!"

"I'm fascinated."

"So the emperor has been with this woman for the past half month?"

"Thunder from the sky and fire from the earth..."

"To shut up!"

Yan Mu smiled, with an indifferent expression on his face, and continued to lean on him.

The eldest princess asked Shangguan Xu to go in and report to her. She wanted to see the emperor: "No matter how much the emperor likes such a woman, he cannot bring her into the palace. At most, she can keep her outside the palace."

Shangguan Xu went in to report, but came out quickly with an embarrassed look on his face.

"The Emperor and the woman are in the tent... I really don't dare to disturb them."

"Nonsense!" the eldest princess frowned and shouted.

Yan Mu chuckled, "This is obviously dry wood meeting the fire, and dead wood meeting the spring again!"

The eldest princess glared at Yan Mu again, and then left the hall with a blue face. Qin Feishi and Murong Tuo were still waiting outside. They were very patient. They were still chatting with each other and had no intention of resigning.

The eldest princess thought of something and frowned again, "The emperor didn't tell anyone, why did he leave the palace alone? What did he do when he left the palace, and how did he go to Mingyue Pavilion to meet that woman?"

She looked at Shangguan Xu, who shook his head. As the chief eunuch, he didn't get any information. He himself was puzzled. The eldest princess looked at Yan Mu again. Yan Mu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then continued to smile.

"Just wait. The person who abducted the emperor from the palace has gained the emperor's trust and will soon show his talents."

The eldest princess thought the same thing, but who could this person be?

It wasn't until night that there was any movement in the inner hall.

The emperor first summoned Shangguan Xu, made the woman a nobleman, and asked him to be placed in Chengtian Palace first. After other palaces were cleared, the dream nobleman could be moved there.

When the woman came out, she was still wearing the tulle, with a graceful figure and swaying love. She originally had her head lowered, but when she reached the steps, she slowly raised her head, revealing an extremely charming face. In particular, there is a red tear mole in the corner of the eye, which is very attractive as the eyes are rippling.

She slowly straightened her waist, glanced at the people present, and lowered her eyes, showing a bit of pride.

Also, you are a prostitute before you go in, and you are a nobleman when you come out. She used to be a few ranks below these people, but now she is a head above them, which is enough for her to be arrogant.

"The emperor attaches great importance to the body of the dragon and the country and the country. Now that you have made a noble person, you should advise the emperor not to use those charming tricks to cause trouble to the harem. If so, I will never let you go!" The eldest princess shouted.

Meng Guiren lowered his eyes and smiled, "That will disappoint the eldest princess. I am a prostitute, I don't know the etiquette of a saint, and I do have some tricks up my sleeve. If the emperor loves me, I will try my best to please him. , there’s nothing wrong with this.”

"Meng Guiren, if I say it, you'd better..."

"Ouch!" Meng Guiren shouted coquettishly, and then held her waist, "Your Majesty, you don't know how to feel sorry for me. My body and waist are so sore."

As soon as she said this, the faces of the people who had been waiting outside for a long time, whether it was the eldest princess or Qin Fei, turned a little dark. Yan Mu, on the other hand, leaned against the pillar and looked up at the bright moon, as if he was only enjoying the night and nothing else had anything to do with him.

Shangguan Xu took Meng Guiren to settle the matter, and then the emperor summoned the eldest princess, Qin Feishi and Murong Tuo, and finally Yan Mu.

When Yan Mu entered, the emperor was sitting on the dragon bed with his clothes on. He was in good spirits and looked very good. He was not at all like the man who had been rescued from the fire just now. As expected, it was the nectar that had appeared after a long drought, and the noble man in Meng was the nectar. It's just that his face is gloomy at this moment, with a bit of anger.

I remembered that when the eldest princess came out just now, she was so angry. It seemed that she tried so hard to persuade the emperor, but instead made the emperor angry.

Yan Mu changed his mind and said with a smile: "Congratulations, father!"

The emperor snorted, "Tell me, what happy event will I have?"

"Of course I have such a wonderful person like Meng Guiren."

"Someone can tell me that naming prostitutes as nobles messes with the rules of the palace."

"The rules should be set by my father. It's up to him to think it's appropriate."

"Oh? What do you think?"

"My son, I don't care about any rules or etiquette, as long as my father is happy."

After hearing this, the emperor's anger disappeared immediately, and he looked at Yan Mu and nodded with satisfaction.

"Whether in the palace or in the court, you are the only one who truly respects my father."

"This is the duty of a son."

The emperor stood up and stretched his muscles. He walked to Yan Mu, remembered something, and said: "By the way, this time there was a fire in Huajie. Thanks to Murong Tuo for saving me, and also to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division for putting out the fire in time, I was short of everything. Such a loyal minister. Tomorrow when I go to court, I will issue an order to let Murong Tuo take over the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and at the same time reward the five-city military division. You go and draft the order, I will use it when I go to court tomorrow."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes, "Yes."

"What big things are happening in the court these days?" As he said this, the emperor yawned.

"Father, please rest first, the dragon body is more important."

"That's fine. I'll leave the court affairs to you. I can rest assured."

Coming out of the palace, Yan Mu bumped into Shangguan Xu, and they walked out of Chengtian Palace together.

"You and I can breathe a sigh of relief when the emperor returns to the palace." Shangguan Xu said.

"At the same time, we don't have to take a boat." Yan Mu said calmly.

"Indeed, if we are on the same boat and we don't agree with each other, it will capsize sooner or later."

Yan Mu snorted and walked out faster.

"Lao Qi!" Shangguan Xu called Yan Mu and saw that he had stopped before continuing: "I know you are making a very risky move, but at times like this, you must stay rational. Think about Liu Yunxiang and you Two children."

After Yan Mu heard this, he continued to walk forward. When he turned a corner, he raised his head and glanced at the moonlight again. Sometimes after acting for a long time, he would have the illusion that time has passed. Little did they know that beneath the calm, there were still turbulent waves.

Because of Yang He's case, Yan Mu is still under suspicion and cannot go to court. But he could roughly guess what would happen in the court.

The emperor went to Flower Street and was almost burned to death. This matter was so big that the ministers did not dare to directly accuse the emperor. They would only target those who condoned the emperor's behavior.

Lu Changan pointed out that Yan Mu was the one who acted for the government before. Everyone thought that Yan Mu knew the truth and deliberately concealed it from the ministers, so they all pointed the finger at him.

The ministers criticized Yan Mu one after another, and submitted memorials to him, listing several of his major crimes in conjunction with Yang Hena's corruption case.

Yan Mu was imprisoned in a small courtyard in the palace, and it took three days before he returned to the study. Shangguan Xu revealed to him that this time the emperor tried to protect him and demoted several ministers.

Yan Mu snorted, "I guess all the ministers are scolding me, right?"

Shangguan Xu clicked his tongue and said, "The scolding is terrible. Do you want to listen?"

"never mind."

"Those who bring trouble to the imperial court are shameless traitors."
