Prisoner of the Eastern Palace

After the prince came down from the early court, he was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor.Mu Ke originally wanted to go back to the East Palace, so he turned around and went to Xuanlong Palace.

Emperor Yongzheng did not wait for him in the living room, but sat in the Yuanqing Pavilion in the imperial garden, playing chess with the queen.

As soon as the queen saw Mu Ke coming, she showed a childlike look of joy on her brows, and hurriedly beckoned to Mu Ke, "Come here, Ke'er, your father is really going too far, and you won't give up in a game of chess, come quickly!" Help my mother with a move, or else I will lose again."

Emperor Yongzheng smiled helplessly, and the fine lines in the corners of his eyes were full of affection, "If the queen wants to win, just tell me, why bother to ask the prince for help."

The queen gave the emperor a reproachful look, and said triumphantly, "Ke'er and I are of the same mind, the emperor is afraid that we will not be able to match the wisdom of our mother and son."

Now, both the prince and the emperor couldn't help laughing.

Emperor Yongzheng smiled a few times, and said to Mu Ke: "It's been a long time since I played chess with you, let's come over and discuss two games."

The eunuch at the side said kindly to the queen: "Your Majesty, there are a few new cloth patterns in the embroidery pavilion. I would like to invite your empress to have a look, so that I can choose some spring clothes."

The queen became interested as soon as she heard it, and stopped playing chess, she stood up and said to Emperor Yongzheng, "Then I'll go and have a look?"

Emperor Yongzheng smiled back: "Go, go."

Mu Ke sat in her seat after the queen and her party had gone far away, and the maids standing beside her cleaned up the scattered chessboard, and packed the black and white chess pieces into two boxes.

Mu Ke played the white chess first, and Emperor Yongzheng played the black chess.

There was a gentle breeze at noon and the sun was warm, which dispelled a lot of the winter chill.

After a few moves, Emperor Yongzheng asked coldly: "I heard that you opened a hunting ground in the suburbs a few days ago?"

"Father, that's true." Mu Ke's face was calm, and his right hand steadily dropped the chess piece onto the chessboard.

Emperor Yongzheng looked at the prince's expression carefully, and continued: "It's nothing, but I remember that you are not interested in these?"

Mu Ke smiled lightly, "I'm just a little curious. I went to see it this time, and it really isn't interesting."

Emperor Yongzheng was very satisfied with the way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, nor in arrogance or impetuosity. He didn't intend to raise a teacher to incriminate him today. A Mingjun, as long as he has enough prestige and strategizing, other small hobbies, whether it is food or sex Or bloodthirsty, it doesn't really matter that much.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongzheng remembered the subjugated king who was locked in the East Palace, "Although Luo Ange has lost power now, he is also the former king of Yunle. Find a chance and let him come to see me."

Mu Ke played chess unhurriedly, with his usual expression on his face, "Go back to father, Luo Ange is not in good health now, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the East Palace."

According to Luo Ange's temperament of looking for death, if he saw the emperor, he might pounce on him and pull his beard, so that he could drive west as soon as possible to die for his country.

But Mu Ke's words are not false, Luo Ange is indeed in poor health, and has just been ravaged by the wind and cold, and now he is weak.

Emperor Yongzheng thought of another aspect. He has five princes and three princesses under his knees. He has been here for a long time, and the prince was young. Emperor Yongzheng thought that it was Mu Ke who bullied Luo Luo on the bed. An Ge, so that he couldn't even get out of bed to see him.

It's just that everything must be done in moderation, even though he's just a male favourite, with Luo Ange's status, it's not easy to cause people's lives.

Emperor Yongzheng coughed lightly, and reminded vaguely: "Prince, it is common for young people to have fun, but you must also pay attention to your sense of proportion. You still have to focus on studying political affairs now. You have to weigh clearly by yourself."

Mu Ke was a little puzzled, he thought that he had been diligent in political affairs, and he hadn't been negligent, and he didn't know why Emperor Yongzheng suddenly mentioned this.

But he still replied respectfully: "Yes, I remember it all."

This game of chess has come to an end, the chess moves of the two are weird and changeable, they can't figure it out, but Mu Ke still has the upper hand.

Although he had the upper hand, Mu Ke didn't rush to attack his dead point, but let the water go for several moves, and in the end it was a draw.

Emperor Yongzheng couldn't help sighing, it's not very good to win chess, but if you want to win, you can win, if you want to draw, it's not easy, you have to control the whole chess game.

Emperor Yongzheng slowly picked up the chess pieces, and sighed a little: "I remember that you couldn't beat me a few years ago. It's only been a few years now. You have made a lot of progress, which is impressive."

Mu Ke smiled, calmly said, "Father Huang praised you absurdly."

In the East Palace, Luo Ange was really bored being detained in the inner courtyard, so he simply brought in the birdcage under the eaves and taught that big colorful parrot to speak ill of the prince.

When I was teaching it to say that the prince was ill, I suddenly heard a commotion outside and disordered footsteps.Luo Ange was stunned for a moment, thinking that Mu Ke had come back from the early morning, so he didn't care, and continued to tease his birds.

But after waiting for a while, the prince did not come in. Luo Ange was a little strange, put on his cloak and pushed open the door, took two steps outside, just in time to see the fourth prince leading a group of people rushing in.

Wang Gonggong brought a few court ladies and eunuchs to persuade him: "Fourth Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the East Palace now, you barged in like this, making it difficult for us to be slaves? Besides, even if you came in, you would not see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ah!"

It is well known in the palace that the crown prince dotes on the fourth prince who is the same mother as him, so the prince did not dare to forcefully stop him, and let him barge in like this.

Mu Yuan snorted coldly, turned his head and saw Luo Ange standing in the corridor, and immediately became furious, raised his finger and cursed at him: "Who said I came to find elder brother, I came to settle accounts with this slave!"

Luo Ange leaned on the red pillar, yawned in a daze, looked at Mu Yuan with hazy eyes, "Who are you?"

"..." Mu Yuan's face turned red with anger, and he almost jumped, "Who am I! I'm the fourth prince you tried to murder that day!"

"Oh." Luo Ange nodded thoughtfully, and said casually, "It was too far away that day, and my eyesight is not good, so I didn't see your face."

"You!" Mu Yuan was choked, his eyes were not good?You have bad eyesight and still shoot the arrow so accurately, you are trying to piss people off!

Mu Yuan couldn't say enough about him, so he simply pulled out the long whip around his waist, flicked it in the air, and gnashed his teeth threateningly: "Kneel down, brother is not here today, but no one will protect you!"

Luo Ange didn't kneel, but sat down on the mahogany railing, half leaning against the porch pillar, tilted his head, and raised his eyebrows absently, "Why should I kneel you?"

Maybe it's because Luo Ange is too thin and extremely good-looking, wrapped in a dark red cloak for just a glance, it is captivating. Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and said angrily: "I As a prince, you are a servant, so you will naturally kneel down to me!"

The Wang Gonggong on the side hurried over to explain, "Back to the fourth prince, this is the former king of Yunle, who is currently serving as the prince's Shuge Shaoqing, who is directly under the prince's control, not a servant."

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Luo Ange's face involuntarily.This person is the former monarch of Yunle?I heard that he is one year older than me, but his face is very small, with the childishness of a teenager, but the depression and vicissitudes in his eyes are not suitable for his age.Is it because of the accident just happened?

The fourth prince was young and frivolous, and didn't want to lose the opportunity here, so he sneered and said, "So what about the former king of Yunle? You are just a lost dog in the water, what kind of prestige do you want to show! Let me tell you, you either kneel down to me today Beg for mercy on the ground, or let you suffer a little bit!"

Luo Ange looked up at the people behind the fourth prince, there were two servants holding strong and long court sticks in their hands.It seems that he came prepared today and came here specifically to trouble him.

Mu Ke told him to recuperate in the house before and didn't let him go out, was it because he was afraid that he would encounter such troubles?
