The Autumn Hunt is getting closer and closer, and Mou Xin knows very well that something will definitely happen during the Autumn Hunt to break the current tranquility.

His friend Shen Yingjin looked relaxed and not worried at all.

Mou Xin was very worried. On the one hand, he didn't like the second prince Chu Yuanzhong. On the other hand, even if he had no ill feelings towards Chu Jueshan, he really didn't want to take sides...

But the dynamics in the court were very clear. Everyone chose the camp they thought was right, and Mou Xin could no longer hesitate.

He finally made up his mind and sent a visiting card to Chu Jueshan Mansion.

Early the next morning, he slowly went to the eldest prince's residence. The butler led him to the main hall.

As a result, Chu Jueshan was discussing matters with the general in the study and completely forgot that someone was coming to visit him this morning.

Mou Xin waited for a whole hour, his brows furrowed. The butler saw that he couldn't wait any longer, so he went to call Chu Jueshan.

In fact, the butler was also helpless, because the eldest prince had clearly stated that if he was discussing something with the general, he should not come to disturb him no matter what happened.

But the situation now is very confusing. The Minister of Justice just sent a visiting invitation yesterday and came to visit this morning. It is not a good idea to leave him there like this.

Chu Jueshan just remembered this matter when the housekeeper reminded him. He quickly slapped his thigh and told the general that he would go to his place to discuss matters in the afternoon.

Only then did he run hurriedly to the main hall with an apologetic look on his face.

Mou Xin was becoming impatient. He was a very patient person, but no matter how patient he was, he would get bored if he sat in this boring main hall for an hour.

Just as he bowed to the butler, he said, "Since Your Highness is not free this morning, I will come to visit you another day."

After he finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but at this moment Chu Jueshan hurriedly walked in from outside.

Mou Xin immediately misunderstood. He had been waiting here for an hour, and Chu Jueshan came over just when he was about to leave. Could it be that he wanted to give him a warning as he had been standing in the neutral camp?

Mou Xin stared at Chu Jueshan for a long time with sharp eyes.

He had always heard that the eldest prince was honest and simple. Could it be that the rumors were false and he was actually just a pig in disguise?

But the guilt on Chu Jueshan's face didn't seem fake.

He bowed to Mou Xin and said, "Please forgive me, Minister Mou. I was so busy discussing matters with the general that I really forgot about you..."

The corners of Mou Xin's mouth twitched. Looking at Chu Jueshan's expression, he couldn't tell whether he was pretending or it was real.

Mou Xin's face was frozen. He was no longer in the mood to consider taking sides. He could only perfunctorily say to Chu Jueshan:

"Your Highness, you don't have to apologize to me. I just waited an extra hour. It's okay."

No matter how dumb Chu Jueshan was, he could tell that something was wrong with his expression, and he became even more restless. He scratched his head, hesitated, and said:

"Otherwise, I will go to your house to pay a visit instead. Minister Mou also asked me to wait for one more hour?"

What Chu Jueshan said couldn't be more stupid. Mou Xin almost laughed out loud, and his mood couldn't help but improve.

He bowed and winked at the butler. The butler had experienced a lot of situations and immediately understood what was going on, so he bowed and walked out.

Mou Xin then said to Chu Jueshan directly: "I wonder if Your Highness is in need of someone from the Ministry of Justice?"

Chu Jueshan was very honest, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Yes, we need it."

Mou Xin's mood had returned to its original state. Seeing his silly look, he couldn't help wanting to laugh. He held back and said, "Then what do you think of me, Your Highness?"

Chu Jueshan scratched his head, only to be annoyed that he had left the man in front of him alone for an hour. For a moment, he did not understand what Mou Xin meant. He said:

"Of course, the Shangshu is the best."

Mou Xin bowed and said, "Then Your Highness, why don't you take me under your command?"

Chu Jueshan understood, and immediately helped him stand up, smiling and said, "Then welcome Minister Mou to join us."

……

That's how it happened.

However, the stupid big guy Chu Jueshan still had a lot on his mind about how he accidentally left Mou Xin out for an hour, so he didn't send a visiting card, and the next day, he showed up at the Minister of Justice's residence uninvited.

He just stood outside the door for an hour and did not allow the servant at the door to report. After an hour, he asked them to go inside and call for people at the right time.

When Mou Xin learned about this, he laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He didn't know what to say about Chu Jueshan. It seemed that the rumors were true and this man was really a simple and honest person.

He hurriedly put on his cloak and came out to greet people. He walked so fast that the servant couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard he tried. As a result, he accidentally tripped when he crossed the threshold.

Chu Jueshan reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to support him. As luck would have it, their heads bumped into each other. Mou Xin was almost knocked unconscious. The moment he raised his head, his lips brushed against Chu Jueshan's.

Mou Xin reacted almost instantly and immediately pushed Chu Jueshan away, his face as red as if blood was about to drip out.

Chu Jueshan stood there stupidly for a long time without reacting. By the time he reacted, Mou Xin had already turned around and left with a red face.

The servants behind him came slowly and did not see what had just happened.

Chu Jueshan stood there for a while, and when he reacted, the honest and simple-minded big guy's face turned red.

He stopped where he was, hesitated for a long time, and finally left without daring to chase after her.

After Mou Xin returned, the more he thought about the matter, the clearer it became in his mind. Finally, he couldn't help but go to find his friend Shen Yingjin before the autumn hunting trip.

As a result, Mou Xin didn't dare to say anything more about this matter. How should he say this? It was just a carelessness, and the eldest prince would definitely not care.

But Mou Xin cares a lot.

During the autumn hunting days, Chu Jueshan saw him many times and wanted to say hello, but Mou Xin just turned around and left, pretending not to see him.

Until the last day of the autumn hunting, in the chaos of war, Zhang Xingyuan and Chu Yuanzhong died one after another. Chu Jueshan looked at Chu Yuanzhong's body with a sad expression.

Mou Xin couldn't help but stepped forward and said a few words of advice.

As a result, he didn't know what he said, and Chu Jueshan, who had just lost his "brother", actually yelled at him.

Mou Xin immediately became unhappy and felt very aggrieved. He turned around and was about to leave.

Chu Jueshan realized something was wrong after he yelled, and quickly grabbed his sleeve, with red eyes, and apologized in a low voice.

These days, Chu Jueshan was not as indifferent to what happened that day as Mou Xin thought. On the contrary, he was a simple and honest man, and he had never taken a concubine or a maid in his life.

So...after my heartbeat quickened when my lips were accidentally touched that day, I actually felt aroused and fell in love with Mou Xin.

After that day, he sent visiting cards to the Minister of Justice's residence every day, but Mou Xin stayed indoors and refused to see anyone.

It was not until Chu Jueshan ascended the throne as emperor that he appointed Mou Xin as the new prime minister.

They communicated a lot on political affairs, and gradually opened their hearts to each other. Although they could not be together openly, they always hung out together under the pretext of discussing matters.

Chu Jueshan never had a harem in his life, and Mou Xin also never married.
