"Seven attendants pay homage to the emperor." A woman in white knelt down in front of Ming Ziyan and saluted.

"Get up, this deity is leaving here tonight, you stay here and guard." Ming Ziyan waved his hand and began to convey his order.

"This subordinate takes orders—" the man and woman brought back by Shura obediently agreed.

"Shura, go clean up." Ming Ziyan swallowed the food in his hand.

The so-called clean-up is actually Ming Ziyan asking Shura to collect and tidy up the things given by the villagers. In the middle of the night, Ming Ziyan and Shura left Lan quietly while everyone was sleeping in their own rooms. All.In Landu's palace, after two pairs of eyes watched the two leave, they lost their original appearance and turned into the appearance of Ming Ziyan and Shura, as if the two had not left here.

Ming Ziyan and Shura traveled day and night, and finally returned to the capital at noon on the Queen's birthday. Ming Ziyan returned to Lanying Palace to take a bath and change clothes, and Shura also returned to his General's Mansion.The news of Ming Ziyan's return did not reach the palace. The emperor was worried whether Ming Ziyan had forgotten the queen's birthday. Concubine Rou was sitting in the bedroom with a sad face. I don't know what to do.

After Ming Ziyan finished bathing, seeing that it was still early, he simply rolled over to bed and went to sleep. Shura, who was familiar with Ming Ziyan's lazy temperament, naturally wouldn't go to the palace to find someone like this.Ming Ziyan and Xiu Luo both slept in their respective mansions, but it was hard to wait for people in the palace, the emperor and concubine Rou should be anxious, Ming Luofeng was walking back and forth in the East Palace, making Mu Ya feel dizzy.

When Ming Ziyan woke up, it was already dusk. After changing into his official uniform, he went out. He never expected that as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the palace, he would see Shura approaching from a distance. They smiled at each other and walked towards the palace. go.The palace is very tense today, because the queen's birthday will be attended by many grandchildren and ministers.No one can enter the palace unless they have a token.

The guard wanted to stop Ming Ziyan, but before the guard on the right moved, the one on the left greeted Ming Ziyan first and greeted Ming Ziyan respectfully. This scene made the guard on the right look confused.Ming Ziyan glanced at the guard with a blank expression, and after saying 'hmm', he took Shura into the palace. The guard on the right wanted to stop him, but the guard who was saluting with Ming Ziyan stopped the guard on the right .

The queen's birthday banquet was held above the main hall, but Ming Ziyan wandered around the imperial garden for a while before passing, Shura was not in a hurry when he saw Ming Ziyan, and of course he was not in a hurry either.Along the way, there were court ladies and eunuchs rushing towards the main hall with things in their hands. They didn't have time to salute when they saw Ming Ziyan, and Ming Ziyan didn't care about it.

The hall was full of joy. After the emperor and empress were seated, all the grandsons and ministers sent congratulatory speeches one after another, followed by the concubines and princes and princesses. Crown Prince Ming Luofeng was the last one to give gifts.After all this was done, the ministers were all talking about it, for nothing else, the seat opposite the seated prince was empty, and an important person hadn't arrived yet.

"Your Majesty, King Lanying hasn't arrived yet, is it..." One of the ministers under the empty seat came out.

"Who said that the king hasn't arrived yet?" Ming Ziyan's voice came in first before he arrived, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the hall with Shura.

"Lanying King..." All the ministers stood up and saluted one after another.

"..." Ming Ziyan waved his hand casually, signaling for them to excuse themselves, and then went straight to the center of the hall. "Father and son came late, please forgive me."

"King Lan Ying should be punished for being late. I will punish you for giving out a gift that can make the queen look good. How about it?" The queen congratulated her on her birthday.

"My son has searched all over the water country for the past few months, and finally found this treasure in Landu. I brought it back and gave it to the empress. I hope the empress will like it." Ming Ziyan looked at the emperor with a smile on his face. Smile confidently.

"Oh? What kind of treasure is it?" Hearing Ming Ziyan's words, the emperor frowned, his face full of curiosity.

"Father, please turn off all the lights in the hall before opening this gift." Ming Ziyan asked mysteriously.

"Come here!" The emperor didn't say anything else, and directly asked someone to do what Ming Ziyan asked.

"..." After Ming Ziyan waited for the maids to extinguish all the candles, there was a smile on his face that no one saw. "Sura, open it."

Shura opened the thing obediently, and the hall was instantly bright as day, and bursts of fragrance came out. Ming Ziyan paid attention to the queen's expression, and when the thing was opened, he was already looking forward to it.Ming Ziyan knew that this gift of his was definitely in line with the Queen's wishes, the smile on his face deepened, and even Ming Luofeng stared at it with wide eyes.

"This object is called Ye Mingzhu, and there are eight pieces in total. Any one of them can light up the entire bedroom. I wonder if this object can suit the empress's wishes?" Ming Ziyan asked the empress after asking Shura to hand over the things in his hand to the maid.

"I am very satisfied, so I will spare you the trouble of being late." The queen took the things brought up by the maid, holding them with her hands and playing with them lovingly.

"Sit down quickly." The emperor was happy to see the queen so happy.

"Thank you, father." Ming Ziyan led Shura to the empty seat and sat down.

As soon as Ming Ziyan sat down, he could see Ming Luofeng on the opposite side. The latter was looking at him obsessively, causing him a chill to spread from the inside out. Shura, who was sitting behind Ming Ziyan, also looked at him. to this scene.Ming Ziyan had just drank a glass of wine when a court lady came to his ear and said something. Ming Ziyan got up and left the table without a sound. Of course, Ming Luofeng watched all of this.

"Mother Concubine." Ming Ziyan followed the maid to the outside of the palace and saw Concubine Rou.

"Yan'er, did you scare the concubine mother?" Concubine Rou said while pulling Ming Ziyan

.

"Mother and concubine don't have to worry, I will definitely come back if I promise my father." Ming Ziyan smiled and patted the back of Concubine Rou's hand.

"The thing you gave the queen was really found in Landu?" Concubine Rou couldn't tell what her mood was, but her son had never given her anything decent, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, concubine mother, when it's your birthday, I will definitely give you a big gift." Ming Ziyan didn't know what Concubine Rou was thinking. "Okay, mother and concubine, let's go back to the palace first, otherwise the emperor will be angry again when he finds out."

"Yes." Concubine Rou nodded, and followed Ming Ziyan back to the hall.

Ming Luofeng watched Ming Ziyan come back, and there was Concubine Rou behind him, so he knew that the mother and son were going to reminisce about the past. Ming Ziyan was speechless when he saw Ming Luofeng looking at him. Couldn't he look at other things? place?Ming Ziyan rolled his eyes at Ming Luofeng, and the latter even grinned, making Ming Ziyan just want to throw it with a cup, but he can't do that because he is still at the banquet.

After the banquet, Ming Ziyan did not stay in the palace, but left the palace with Shura. After returning to Lanying Palace, Shura was left behind. Although he rushed back day and night before, he had slept enough just now. Not sleepy at all now.After sending all the maids to rest, Ming Ziyan decided to go back to the underworld with Shura to have a look, otherwise it would be bad if people in the heaven knew that Emperor Hades had left the underworld without authorization.

next day

Ming Ziyan put on the official uniform he wore only last night, and went to the court with Shura. After all, he was a prince. If he always played outside and didn't go to the court, he would be impeached no matter how much military exploits he had.Ming Ziyan will let Shura follow wherever he goes, and some people in the court have long disliked him, but here is the memorial handed over, Ming Ziyan and Shura went to court early.

The emperor had seen the memorial and knew that his son was very close to Shura, but the emperor would not believe that his son, who had made many military exploits, would rebel against him.It is said that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, and those who are in the country will have suspicions, not to mention that two people with great military exploits stick together every day, and it is not due to the addiction of Longyang, so there can only be some ulterior secrets. In order to prove to Ming Ziyan that he has no other intentions, the emperor must do something.

"King Lanying, you fought against the Hunan army in the border town a few days ago. You made great achievements in battle. I want to reward you for your merits. But you didn't return to the palace in order to find a birthday gift for the queen." Named Ming Ziyan. "You are here today, if you want any reward, just ask."

"I don't have any rewards that I want. The emperor wants to reward the meritorious deeds. Just reward the soldiers who have dedicated themselves to the country." As soon as Ming Ziyan heard the emperor's words, he knew that he was coming again, but he had already There are countermeasures. "My son is already the king of Lanying, enjoying all the glory and wealth. I really don't want anything. Instead of giving those rewards to my son, the emperor might as well reward the soldiers, or distribute them to the common people so that they can bathe together. Grace."

"It's a good sentence to Mu Shengen! I will distribute your reward to the common people." Hearing Ming Ziyan's answer, the emperor was instantly delighted.

"As long as the father continues to agree with his son and minister to travel among the people, it will be fine to write about some of the sufferings of the common people." Ming Ziyan nodded in agreement with the emperor's words, and then made his own request.

"This is no problem. It's rare that you don't have the attitude of a prince, and you see the sufferings of the common people in your eyes. If you succeed the Datong, you must be a generation of Mingjun." The emperor said this tentatively, which can be regarded as the memorial. an answer.

"Father, please don't make jokes about my son. It would be great to have the emperor's brother succeed me. My son just wants to wander among the common people and know some things that I don't know in the palace. Help father and emperor well." Ming Ziyan frowned when he heard the emperor's question, but thinking about his father suddenly saying this, there must be a reason.

"Father has a second younger brother who travels among the people, so it will definitely strengthen the hearts of the people." Ming Luofeng also knew about the memorial, and when he heard Ming Ziyan's answer, he was very glad that Ming Ziyan's original intention had not changed.

"En." The emperor was very satisfied with Ming Luofeng's sudden words. "If the ministers have nothing to do, then retreat to court."
