Rebirth: Picking up a beggar and being attacked

The fifth younger brother, Mu Ruitan, was born to Mu Yuanfeng and his side concubine Concubine Hua. In Mu Ruixi's eyes, Concubine Hua was a rather dignified woman, but she doted on her son so much that Mu Ruitan looked disrespectful and had no big eyes. Not young, eager for quick success and short-sighted, is one of the people Mu Ruixi particularly dislikes.Mu Ruixi didn't think there was anything shameful about being brought up on the table about liking men, but it was different when it was said that it was Mu Ruitan.

He glanced at Mu Ruishi, and as expected, the corners of Mu Ruizhi's mouth are slightly curved now, which cannot be seen by others, but they are brothers after all, and they have lived together for more than ten years, so Mu Ruixi can tell that this matter is definitely It was Mu Ruizhi who fanned the flames from behind.

Seeing that Mu Ruixi didn't speak, Mu Ruitan thought he was flustered by what he said, so he repeated, "Second brother? What's wrong with you? Why didn't you speak for a long time?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about the wild land in the northwest just now, and I didn't hear what the fifth brother was talking about. Could you tell me again?" Mu Ruixi straightened his face to make himself look upright. Don't look what the occasion is now!The family banquet also dares to make such a mistake, since he wants to play big, he doesn't mind playing big with him.

"This..." Mu Ruitan choked on Mu Ruixi's words, but he soon regained his composure, "Second brother really cares about the country of Mu, but it's Chinese New Year after all, and our family gets together , It’s better to talk about the short stories of the parents.”

Mu Ruixi nodded, "It's really good, so please tell me what I just said again."

"This... I just heard that my second brother likes men, and I hid a very beautiful man in your west wing."

"It's true, but I don't know who the fifth brother listened to. I kept the servants tight-lipped, not allowing them to reveal anything about my lover, but I don't know how the fifth brother knew." Mu Ruixi raised his eyes and waited. Looking at Mu Ruitan, the meaning is obvious, if you don't give me an explanation, we will just be frozen like this.

"This..." Mu Ruitan glanced at Mu Ruishi, a little at a loss, typically courageous and ignorant, and Mu Ruixi didn't even bother to talk to him, but now he was anxious to go back to celebrate the New Year with Zhan Yi, Mu Ruitan happened to step on the tiger's tail and hurt himself. Who can blame him?

"Fifth brother, why didn't you say it?" He didn't think it was a big deal, so he asked.

Over there, Concubine Hua saw that her son was embarrassed by Mu Ruixi, she felt sorry for her son, and she was anxious, and hurriedly said on behalf of her son: "Xi'er, don't embarrass your brother, he hangs out with eunuchs and maids in the palace all day long." , it must be the eunuch talking too much, you also know that he has a straight temper, so he said it after hearing it."

"Is that so?" Mu Ruixi squinted at Mu Ruitan.

"Yes, yes." Mu Ruitan nodded and said yes in time.

Just when Mu Ruitan thought that Mu Ruixi would not pursue it, Mu Ruixi asked again: "Which eunuch is that, or the maid?"

"Yes..." Mu Ruitan looked at Mu Ruishi again, but Mu Ruishi pretended not to see him at this time. He had no choice but to look at his mother and concubine for help.

Concubine Hua always has a soft heart, let alone being begged by her son, she hurriedly said: "Xi'er, this..."

"Aunt Hua, I'm talking to Fifth Brother right now, don't speak for him."

"I, I just..."

Concubine Hua was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Yuanfeng, "Xi'er is right, you are too used to Tan'er, you are so used to him like this!"

"Concubine Mother, Emperor Father, I..." Mu Ruitan wanted to explain, but Mu Yuanfeng raised his hand to stop him.

"Tan'er, you are not young anymore, and you will be weak in two years, so you have to think twice before you speak!" Mu Yuanfeng sighed bitterly, "I don't ask for anything else, if you can marry your second brother, The third brother is half good, so I am content."

Mu Yuanfeng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he didn't mention Mu Ruizhi, which made Mu Ruizhi's face look bad for a moment.

"I……"

"Your second brother likes men, I already know it. I have a house in Mu country. It's not a big deal to like men. You don't need to avoid it during the dinner, and you don't need to bring it up. Today is the last day of the year. We It's a family feast. You brothers have been fighting for so long, why can't you take a good day off today and have a good reunion dinner?"

He is the king of the Mu country, and he has also experienced the battle for the crown prince. He knows that for the sake of the throne, his children will turn against each other and kill each other. It is very likely that after a year or two, some children may not be able to survive. Will be in this world again, this is the cruelty of being born in the emperor's family, he understands, but maybe he is old!He couldn't bear it, really couldn't bear it, so he hoped that the reunion dinner in the past two years could be eaten well.

There was some sadness and vicissitudes in the father's voice, and Mu Ruixi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. He probably knew what his father was thinking.The New Year's Eve dinner was supposed to be a family reunion and eat happily. In the past, they were very happy and carefree when they were young, but as they grew up, everything changed. He doesn't have the innocence of childhood, only for himself in everything, no brotherhood, only intrigue, he actually doesn't want to.

The princes present, including Mu Ruizhi, all lowered their heads. It is estimated that Mu Yuanfeng's words touched them a little bit.

"Father, what you say is what you say, let's have a good meal." Mu Ruixi raised his glass and stood up, "Come on, let's have a good drink!"

Mu Ruiqing raised his glass and said with a smile: "Second brother probably stayed in the military camp too much, and he speaks like a mighty general."

All the brothers raised their wine glasses, and Mu Ruitan, who was about to show Mu Ruixi a bad look just now, was caught by the same gesture, and said apologetically, "Second brother, I was wrong this time, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

"Not much to say, everyone has done it."

"Do it!" The royal family's children clinked their wine glasses together for a rare occasion. This might be the last time they will be so friendly at a family banquet!

Mu Yuanfeng looked at it and couldn't help feeling a little moved. He was too old to drink too much, but he drank two more glasses than usual, and then he got up to leave the table, heralding the end of the previous banquet.

"Father, I will be with you." Mu Ruixi got up and followed behind Mu Yuanfeng.

Mu Yuanfeng glanced at him, "How many more drinks with the brothers?"

"No, everything that needs to be said has been said. Father must know that a New Year's Eve dinner can't change anything."

"Alas..." Mu Yuanfeng sighed after hearing Mu Ruixi's words, "You're right."

"What should come will always come."

"That's all, let you go!" Mu Yuanfeng waved his hands and left. Mu Ruixi looked at his back, but felt full of loneliness. Mu Ruixi looked at him and felt uncomfortable. All the way back home, he was in a bad mood It was very heavy, until he saw the bright red lanterns hanging on both ends of the plaque of his Prince Xi's mansion, and his sanity was pulled back a little.

Today's Prince Xi's Mansion seems to be a little different. There is no guard standing at the door. He is a little puzzled. He walks up the steps and just pushes them away, but sees a burning wooden kite flying into the sky, hovering in the sky, emitting colorful lights. fireworks.

"This is?" Even though he was used to big scenes, he didn't realize what happened.

"My lord, welcome back!" A group of attendants suddenly rushed out of the room to greet him. The attendants were all wearing brand new clothes, maybe they wanted to bring some new year's surprises, and the clothes were all biased towards red, which made Mu Ruixi Eyes are red.

"What are you doing?" Mu Ruixi was rarely in a daze, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked at the attendants again.

Mu San explained to Mu Ruixi from the side, "Because I want to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the prince, I made a lot of preparations."

"This……"

"Do you still like it, my lord?"

He actually wanted to say that he was frightened, but seeing the expectant eyes of these attendants, he nodded, "It's done..." He just wanted to say the word "good" when he saw that his body was covered with clothes. The big gray with the red ribbon walked up to him unrestrainedly, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Aww." Seeing that Mu Ruixi was laughing at it, Da Hui instantly had the urge to bump his head to death.

"My lord laughed!"

"Oh my god, the prince actually laughed!"

Mu Ruixi seldom smiled in front of them, but now that they saw it, their jaws almost fell to the ground in surprise.

"Da Hui really made the prince laugh." Zhan Yi, who had put the wooden kite away according to Mr. Pang's instructions, jumped off the roof and landed right behind Mu Ruixi.

"Zhan Yi?" Mu Ruixi turned to look at him, but he couldn't move his eyes away.

Today's child does not wear a mask, but a white veil with a red border on his face. His hair is raised high with red ginseng, and he is wearing a white wide-sleeved deep coat, but the outside of the deep coat is It was covered with a layer of red gauze, which looked especially good against his white skin.

"Welcome back, my lord." Zhan Yi smiled and looked at Mu Ruixi with narrowed eyes.

Mu Ruixi can even imagine how beautiful his smile is behind the veil, and his Zhan Yi is now like a spotless angel.

"I'm back, Zhan Yi." He hugged his Zhan Yi into his arms, and all the melancholy was gone at once.

Zhan Yi rubbed Mu Ruixi's neck twice, "Well, my lord, let's have New Year's Eve dinner together."

"Okay, let's eat together."

"My lord, don't forget about us, we also want to eat with you." The attendants are also very bold today, after all, it's Chinese New Year today, and during the Chinese New Year in the palace, the lord is not strict with them.

Mu Ruixi waved his hand, "Okay, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together today."

Zhan Yi: "I also called Mr. Pang."

"Mr. Pang is here too?"

"Well, yes, because I thought it was too deserted for Mr. Pang to celebrate the New Year at home alone, so we called over together."

"Hehe, you are so thoughtful, let's go, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner."

"Good~"

Mu Ruixi took Zhan Yi's shoulders and walked into their west wing.
