General Raiders

The wine bestowed by Mu Ziyue.

Yun Xi didn't think that the sixth prince would enshrine this jug of wine in front of Concubine Chen, even though it was a great honor for most concubines who had passed away, but Mu Chengze was not someone who would forget the past.

"Ah Ze, what are you thinking?" Yun Xi hurriedly bowed to the eldest princess, then sat down beside Mu Chengze.

Mu Chengze didn't answer either.After sitting quietly for a while, he took out a short sword from his arms, which was the Lingyun sword that Mu Ziyue had rewarded him before.Over the years, he has rarely used this sword.Yun Xi is good at using long swords, so naturally the apprentices he teaches are also. As the boy grows taller, the short sword is no longer enough for Mu Chengze to use what he has learned, so the sixth prince put it in the cabinet.

But right now, Ling Yun was taken out again.Mu Chengze used a clean veil to slowly polish the blade of the sword bit by bit.

A moment later, he held the jug with one hand and swung it vigorously. The jug was thrown into the air. Without blinking Mu Chengze's eyes, he raised his sword and dropped it. The delicate jug was torn apart in an instant. It overflowed, and at the same time, what could no longer be concealed was Mu Chengze's cold and hostile air.

"Ah Ze..." Yun Xi called out to him worriedly.

Mu Chengze turned his face away, but did not approach as usual.In this way, even if Yun Xi said anything else, he would not be able to see it.

Yun Xi jumped up, found another handkerchief, rushed to Mu Chengze, and wiped off the area on his body where the drink had just been splashed.Then hugged him and patted his back lightly.

It took a long time for Mu Chengze to call him.

The sixth prince saw nothing in his eyes, and the long-lost "cousin" made Yunxi understand that the sixth prince who would cry in his arms was gone forever.There was always a deep hatred buried in Aze's heart.

From now on, the sixth prince would continue to laugh and talk to him as before, but Yun Xi had an intuition that one day this hatred would erupt again.Reborn in this life, he can say that many things have changed, but he is at a loss for the hatred buried deep in the sixth prince's heart.

Because he knew that there was nothing wrong with Aze who hated someone like this.

Before the celebration, Yun Xi paid another visit to Princess Jing.Although he is no stranger to Qi Zhenyu himself, he knows nothing about Master Qi's backyard.Compared to him, Concubine Jing is very familiar with the female family members, it is always good to ask Concubine Jing.But Princess Jing's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"You mean the youngest daughter of Lord Yuqi's family in Qizhen?" Princess Jing couldn't believe it, "Who mentioned it?"

Yun Xi silently pointed to the top of her head.

Princess Jing understood, and sighed lightly: "This is also a bitter child."

Then, Princess Jing told Yun Xi about the past.Although Qi Zhenyu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is a good official, he was quite confused in the back house earlier. He was deceived by a certain concubine's room and neglected his wife too much, and the concubine's room was not a thing. Backing up, he was so rampant that he murdered the children born to his first wife.It was luck or misfortune, only the youngest concubine's voice was hoarse by the medicine, which exposed the true face of the concubine's room.Only then did Lord Qi realize that he sold the concubine's room, but the youngest daughter couldn't be cured anymore...

Concubine Jing said: "Does it sound familiar? The dispute over the house since ancient times is nothing more than that."

Yun Xi felt the same way, she came back to her senses and said, "You mean, that child..."

Princess Jing nodded: "There are some similarities with His Royal Highness, but she can't speak."

It turns out that what the emperor meant by good match!

Yun Xi burst into anger for no reason. He didn't have any prejudice against the youngest daughter of Master Qi's family, but just because the two children had shortcomings, he forced them together. What did he think of them?

Concubine Jing said: "I have seen that child with my own eyes. He has a very good temper and looks good. It's just a pity that he is still in his boudoir. To be honest, you asked me to look after the Sixth Highness. Thinking of Ms. Qi's family, the two of them are quite similar in terms of wealth and background, thinking that if they are in a normal situation, they can be considerate to each other... It's just that Cheng Hao said that you care about His Highness the Sixth Prince, and I'm afraid you won't be happy, so I didn't mention it."

"However..." Concubine Jing lowered her voice, "Master Qi put a lot of effort into suppressing that young lady, so very few people knew about it. Lord Qi now only calls her relatives The child of the family wants to raise that child quietly for the rest of his life, how could the emperor suddenly think of Miss Qi's family?"

"Thank you, auntie, for reminding me." Yun Xi's face was frosty, how could Mu Ziyue think of pointing out such a marriage for the sixth prince for no reason, it seems that there must be a ghost in it.

Originally, he was still looking forward to the early arrival of the celebration day, but now he was not very happy to take the sixth prince to meet that Miss Qi family.

Yun Xi didn't want to hide anything from the sixth prince, according to what Princess Jing said, Miss Qi's character should be worthy of A Ze, maybe in A Ze's heart, he doesn't care so much?

He hurriedly finished explaining Miss Qi's matter, Mu Chengze just said lightly: "Understood." It made Yunxi feel very nervous.

Mu Chengze laughed at himself: "Only my cousin would regard me as a treasure in his heart. Others would think that he is a perfect match."

"I'm not looking down on that young lady." Yun Xi thought for a while, "The main thing is that you like it. After all, it doesn't matter what other people think. After all, you are the one who wants to spend the rest of your life with you."

"I understand, I won't be reckless. I don't think the other party may like me." Mu Chengze said warmly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yun Xi scowled, in his eyes, Aze was naturally the best.

"If you don't want to, I'll find a way to escape the celebration together."

"...Impossible."

Mu Chengze thought for a moment, the Qi family originally wanted to raise this girl alone, which means that even if no one cares about them, they are not willing to marry their daughter casually.With this thought, the emperor's plan may not come true.But if he doesn't go to the celebration, I'm afraid that the marriage will really become a sacred decree and fall on him.

"Then let's go."

Yun Xi knew in her heart that someone was going to spoil the Sixth Prince's marriage, and it was impossible to guard against it, but if she didn't enter the tiger's den, how could she catch a tiger's cub, if this person could be caught, it would be a good thing for them.He decided to transfer as many people in the palace as possible to Mu Chengze's side that day, but Mu Chengze was extra cautious. There were other officials' family members present during the celebration, so it would be bad if someone took the opportunity to target An Lehou.Yun Xi had allocated some people to him and let him dispatch and arrange them. Just as Yun Xi had his own methods, and Mu Chenghao had the power to respect the palace, Mu Chengze naturally had his own methods.

Yun Xi was still worried, first talked with Madam Qi through Princess Jing, and then went to find Qi Zhenyu in person.The strange thing is that Qi Zhenyu has no knowledge of the emperor's arrangement.And as the sixth prince expected, the Qi family loves this lady who has suffered so much, and does not want to grant her to anyone at will. Qi Zhenyu and Yun Xi hit it off immediately, and they agreed that the two children must be willing to make a marriage, otherwise They tried to refuse marriage together.

35. Contest

With Qi Zhenyu's help, Yun Xi finally felt relieved.On the day of the celebration, he and the sixth prince each made some arrangements.However, some changes occurred in the middle of entertaining the monarch of Yelang Kingdom.It was originally just a state banquet, but in order to please Mu Ziyue, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals arranged a martial arts contest. There was no other reason. Mu Ziyue planned to marry the seventh prince Mu Chengpei to the daughter of the Duke of An after the ceremony. The Ministry of Rites wanted to take this opportunity to let the Seventh Prince show off.

Over the past few years, although the emperor no longer favored the Yongshou Palace, and his favored concubines changed again and again, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his favor for the Seventh Prince remained unchanged.The princes at this age have basically started a mansion, only the seventh prince, Mu Ziyue pointed to the Yuming Palace for him to live in, this is the treatment that even the prince does not have.

The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was single-handedly promoted by the prince, but he was implicated and demoted. The current one is actually the third prince Mu Chengluo. Under Mu Chengluo's instruction, he came up with the idea that the competition should be held by the seventh prince himself In the battle, the opponents arranged for some of their own people, guaranteeing that they would lose flawlessly in the end.

This move can not only make the emperor and the seventh prince look good, but also strengthen Chu's prestige in front of the Yelang king. Mu Ziyue has no objections, and even set up a ring specially, ordering everyone to watch together.

Yun Xi and Mu Chengze sat together, and after a while Mu Chenghao also quietly ran over to join them, because Mu Yong wanted to see farther, King Jing, who loves his daughter, justifiably kicked his youngest son out, for the sake of Yong Xin vacated space and set up a small platform for viewing, and Yong Xin sat on it majestically.

The Seventh Prince Mu Chengpei flew onto the ring.In the past few years, he has grown a lot taller, lost the slight blessings of his childhood, and has a slender body, but his appearance is not satisfactory. Several princes around his age have their own handsomeness, especially the sixth prince. The phoenix eyes are clear, but when it comes to the Seventh Prince, he has ordinary slender eyebrows and big eyes, which can barely be regarded as handsome, far from the cuteness of childhood.

"I don't know who this battle is. It turns out to be an old friend. It is said that he has hugged the emperor's uncle's thigh well these years."

Mu Chenghao took a sip of tea happily, and glanced at Mu Chengze out of the corner of his eye. Neither he nor the sixth prince had much trouble with this seventh highness.

For Mu Chenghao's noisy, Mu Chengze can ignore it.

Soon, the Seventh Prince kicked several people dressed as palace guards off the ring one after another.

Mu Ziyue kept applauding, but laymen couldn't tell. The generals sitting below knew in their hearts that the Seventh Prince's skills were there. Guards, the safety of the palace is worrying.They only thought that the Seventh Prince was doing his filial piety and entertaining the emperor.

Prince Mu Chenghong arrived a bit late as usual.The king of the Yelang Kingdom is here
