old friends return

Thinking of this, Hui Shanyuan sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, don't think about the matter of the harem for now, the matter of the second prince going to the west with General Han, I think it will only be in these two days, and the officials in the court will treat the second prince The matter is also speculated in various ways. Your knee injury is almost healed, so you can pass a note to the emperor and let the emperor allow you to go back to listen to the government. After all, you are a prince, and it is not a good thing to stay away from the court for too long."

Cheng Muzhi seldom had a word with him, just nodded and said: "I have handed over the paperwork yesterday, and I should return it tomorrow, but it's not yet time to participate in politics. If there is something, I still have to trouble the right minister." .” Hui Shanyuan naturally helped him wholeheartedly in matters of business, and nodded immediately without saying anything: “It’s natural.”

The two talked for a while about Cheng Muxing. When it was almost evening, Hui Shanyuan was naturally happy to have dinner here, but Cheng Muzhi sent him home directly with the already packed beggar's chicken Hui Shanyuan looked at Gao Zhan, who was carrying three chickens to send him back, in disbelief, and asked in disbelief, "His Royal Highness is so generous this time?"

Gao Zhan on the side stumbled to explain to him, and he had to hold back a smile while talking: "Your Majesty, Your Highness said that it is not a problem for you to eat as much beggar chicken, fruit wood duck, as long as you don't eat here." Hui Shan Yuan looked at Gao Zhan in front of him, and asked, "Who will your Highness have dinner with in the evening?" Gao Zhan replied, "With Mr. Liu Xiao." Hui Shanyuan looked clear, but his heart was even more disdainful Cheng Muzhi, who used such rogue means to prevent him from meeting Liu Qingyan, had such a strong desire for monopoly. It's not good or bad for Liu Qingyan to have such a clingy master. "Tsk tsk tsk... I've done a good job, send me back now."

"Decree!" Gao Zhan beat Hui Shanyuan's curtain, and he himself got on the front of the carriage, "Drive—"

Here, Cheng Muzhi saw Hui Shan go away, and immediately asked Gao Jin to prepare dinner in the front hall. Liu Qingyan was also preparing to come this way, but when he came to Cheng Muzhi, he looked around, "Your Highness Where's Prime Minister Right?" Cheng Muzhi hurriedly chattered: "Prime Right said he still had something to do, and he refused to keep him here for dinner, so he left first." Liu Qingyan muttered in a low voice with obvious disappointment across his face. He said: "There are still some questions I want to ask, but now it seems that I can only talk about it later."

Cheng Muzhi took his hand and walked towards the front hall, while changing the topic with him: "A Yan, didn't you like to eat the dishes made by the chef over there last time? Today I asked him to come too, You must also like today's dishes." Liu Qingyan followed him step by step: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

But Luanyi Palace was also having dinner at this time, and Cheng Muze, who hadn't come for a few days, came into the palace to greet Concubine Yan, while Lan Xi served vegetables, and then slowly turned around and retreated.Cheng Muze took a few mouthfuls of food, considered Concubine Yan's expression, and said, "Congratulations, concubine mother."

Naturally, Concubine Yan knew what he was congratulating, and she happened to be in a good mood today, with a loving mother on her face at this time, while serving food for Cheng Muze, she smiled and said to him: "Okay, okay, it's still not good enough now. It's a matter of leaving." However, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and Cheng Muze immediately followed her and added in a low voice: "Mother and concubine even got the Phoenix Seal, and the rest... ..."

When he was about to continue talking, Lan Xi from outside came in and whispered a few words in Concubine Yan's ear. Cheng Muze saw that Concubine Yan's expression seemed to be a little different from before, so he said nothing more wisely. Take vegetables and eat quietly.

For Concubine Yan, she is obviously his biological mother, but Cheng Muze always feels that he is not like his own. The concubine's attitude towards him is always distant and close, and he always speaks with anger when talking to Concubine Yan. There is no sense of closeness.

This is also the reason why he always refuses to enter the palace to ask for peace with various reasons. However, for the position of the crown prince, he must be attached to his concubine mother, not to mention that the mother clan is so powerful, between himself and his concubine... Cheng Muze It's a bit sad to think about it, why is there such a transactional relationship between the mother concubine and him, each taking what they need?

After Lan Xi finished speaking, she went out directly. Concubine Yan didn't mean to ask him to leave immediately to deal with the matter. She still brought some food for him and said to him: "Eat more, just look at it recently. It seems to be thinner than before." Cheng Muze held the bowl in his hand, and said to Concubine Yan absent-mindedly: "Thank you, my concubine, for your concern."

The speed of eating was faster than before, and there was really nothing else today, so I didn’t stay any longer, and after eating and drinking Zhongcha, I said to Concubine Yan: "It’s getting late, and my minister will not Disturb mother and concubine's rest, son-in-law will leave first." Concubine Yan told him to be careful on the road, so she didn't say anything, asked Lanxi to send him out, lay on the couch by herself, and asked other maids to remove her hair. headgear.

Shi Shi was waiting for him outside Luanyi Palace. It was just sunset, and there was still some peripheral light outside so that it would not be completely dark. Cheng Muze walked in front, and Shi Shi followed slowly to the outside of the palace.There was also a servant outside the palace standing by the carriage, looking closely, but it was Sanxi who was doing things in the backyard of Cheng Muzhi's East Palace. When Cheng Muze walked up to him, he quickly stuffed a note to him, his head still stuck Low, sitting in the driving seat with Shishi, walked for a while and then suddenly jumped off, turned left and right into other alleys and disappeared.

Cheng Muze looked at the note in his hand, and thought about it for a while. From this point of view, Cheng Muzhi and Prime Minister Right were really at odds.For him, this situation helped him invisibly. After all, one less person was on Cheng Muzhi's side. Whether that person was on his side or not, it would only be a good thing for him.The inexplicable and somewhat gloomy mood that came out of Concubine Yan's Palace was swept away now, Cheng Muze sneered in his heart, Cheng Muzhi, Cheng Muzhi, fight with me...you still need some weight.

Lan Xi sent Cheng Muze out, and when she came back, Concubine Yan waved her hands to make the others retreat, and said to Lan Xi: "Is the emperor resting at Xu Buyun's place tonight?" It was said later that he wanted to come to Concubine Yan's Luanyi Palace to talk to her, but now it seems impossible.

Concubine Yan didn't care too much, after all, it was just a matter of these two days, and Xu Buyun was not in the way of her eyes, so she was naturally not in a hurry.After talking to Lan Xi for a while, Concubine Yan was going to take a bath, but suddenly heard a commotion outside, Su Wenquan declared in a hoarse voice: "The emperor is here."

All the people knelt down for a while, and Concubine Yan also rushed to meet outside the main hall of Luanyi Palace: "My concubine sees the emperor, all blessings to the emperor." , and went straight into it.Concubine Yan was a little strange, she stayed well with Xu Buyun, why did she suddenly come here?
