Rebirth: sailing a thousand times

Three days later, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday.

Early in the morning, the empress dowager and the emperor first received birthday greetings from all the officials in the Palace of Qinzheng, and then the envoys from all over the world came to present gifts.

Mu Qingfeng entered the palace before dawn to accompany the emperor to busy himself, without touching the ground, and finally took a breather until the dinner.

The birthday banquet is held in the newly completed "Mei Shou Palace", not far from the Imperial Garden.

After drinking for three rounds, Mu Qingfeng quietly left the Meishou Hall while everyone was not paying attention.He walked along the cobblestone-paved corridor, blowing the slightly chilly night wind in late autumn, and most of the alcohol on him was relieved.

The sound of silk, bamboo, music and Gongchou gradually became inaudible, and Mu Qingfeng realized that he had reached the edge of Cuixin Lake without knowing it.The imperial garden, which is usually dark at night, is also decorated with lanterns and festoons for the Queen Mother's birthday. After being decorated with various palace lanterns, the originally chilling autumn scenery has a different kind of lonely scenery.

He sat on one of the Taihu Lake stones, the candles and the lake light reflected each other, and sparkles appeared in the bottom of his eyes, and the scene on the water curtain that night came with his thoughts.Beside the Swallow Pond, he expressed his love, while Gu Shaobai looked back gently, reading the words on his lips, it seemed to be a sentence "tonight and what night, when I met this beloved".

How much he loved back then, now he hates so much; how disappointed he was when he was going to die at that time, how determined he is to leave now!

Mu Qingfeng stared blankly at a cluster of begonias, the palace lanterns cast sparse shadows, half water red and half bright purple, he sighed secretly, not knowing how to call back his heart that was riddled with holes.

He used to be sinister and ruthless, but now he is not much better!

Mo Bei and his party spoke many, many words. I thought they were jokes or disgusting, but now that I think of them, they are all Gu Shaobai's voice crying blood. That heart and love have long been buried by his ruthlessness!

……

"There used to be... Later, he didn't want me anymore! He also made me miserable, and made me die..."

"It's just a chance encounter. That matter...for you, it's to relieve your desire, but for me, it's just a spur of the moment, and it can't be true..."

... "The prince can exchange that love affair. Jia Fan may have been in love with the prince, but just like the letter left on the paper, Jia Fan has never returned, and he got together by accident, so don't take it seriously..."

……

Mu Qingfeng rubbed his knees that were stiff and numb after standing for a day, slowly got up, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and secretly made up his mind, Gu Shaobai, even if your heart dies, I must make it come back to life.Not to make up for any debt, just because, I like you!

Thinking that after all, the birthday banquet should not be delayed for too long, he turned around and took two steps in the direction of "Mei Shou Palace". Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on a small path, and Mu Qingfeng was thinking about his own thoughts while walking, and was caught off guard I was bumped and staggered.He took a step back, stabilized his figure, and stared displeasedly at the person in front of him.

This is a man wearing a eunuch's uniform. Judging by the uniform, the grade is not low.

The man raised his eyes and saw that the man who was bumped had a handsome and handsome face, wearing a purple-gold fringed treasure crown on his head, a deep purple python robe, and a five-clawed dragon embroidered on his front patch, and five-clawed dragons embroidered on his shoulders. He immediately Knowing that he had caused a catastrophe, he fell to the ground with a "plop", kowtowed and said, "This slave deserves ten thousand deaths, this slave deserves ten thousand deaths, Prince Yi forgives..."

Mu Qingfeng frowned, looking at him with surprise, "Which palace are you from?"

The man didn't dare to raise his head, and replied tremblingly, "The slave is the chief eunuch of the conservatory, Deshun."

Mu Qingfeng snorted coldly, "Empress Dowager, what are you doing in such a hurry? Fortunately, you are this king. If you offend some nobleman or envoy, even if you have a hundred heads, you won't be able to chop it off!"

Deshun nodded and said yes, hearing that Mu Qingfeng didn't seem to want to chop off his head, so he slowly knelt up straight, still lowered his head and said, "Return to the prince, the treasurer of the Ministry of Rites just sent a message, He Lie The envoy of the country paid tribute to a pot of exotic flowers and asked the servant to go and move it back to the greenhouse immediately, but the servant was in a hurry and went blind, so he accidentally bumped into the prince."

Mu Qingfeng waved his hand impatiently, motioning for him to back off, and Deshun lowered his eyebrows and ran away along the path.

Mu Qingfeng pressed the corner of his forehead tiredly, and after taking a step, he felt something on the sole of his foot, which hurt his foot very much.He moved his foot away and saw by the light that it was a net-like thing, which should have been dropped by Deshun who was in a panic just now.

He leaned over to pick it up, and it looked familiar. It seemed to be exactly the same as the Jiugong plum blossom net that Gu Shaobai was forced to buy by him at the temple fair that day. Even the color of the wiring was the same, except that there was a sapphire.

He examined it for a moment and put it in his arms without thinking too much, thinking that after the banquet, he would just ask a eunuch to return it to him.

When Mu Qingfeng returned to the "Mei Shou Palace", the banquet was coming to an end, and the Queen Mother had already gone back to her bedroom to rest.Seeing him coming back, the emperor called him closer, and ordered him to arrange with Wang Sidao for the remaining two days of birthday celebrations, and then staggered away with the support of Eunuch Wang Xi.

Mu Qingfeng knew that this was actually the work of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor's arrangement was only superficial.Seeing that the courtiers and envoys were almost gone, he also got up and prepared to go back to the mansion. Before he left, he remembered the matter of Luozi and was looking around to see who would be appropriate to call over.

At this time, Wang Sidao came over, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, are you going back now?"

Mu Qingfeng nodded, "Lord Wang has worked hard these few days!"

Wang Sidao's well-maintained long face does not show any trace of sinister color. If he is walking on the street, people who don't know him will mistakenly think that he is a teacher of some academy.But Mu Qingfeng is very clear that this person is a typical smiling wolf. On the surface, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but secretly forms a clique for personal gain, eliminates dissidents, and has vicious methods, which can be described as too numerous to describe!

"Where does the lord come from, the old man is in the position of a prince, and assists the three departments. It is his duty to share the worries of the emperor, so why not talk about hard work!"

While talking, Wang Sidao recruited his entourage to light the way with lanterns, and walked out of the palace with Mu Qingfeng. The two chatted and walked leisurely, and they seemed to be quite harmonious.

When they left the Zhengyang Gate, the carriage of the palace was already waiting by the side of the road, and Mu Qingfeng was about to get into the carriage when Wang Sidao suddenly said, "My lord, wait a minute."

"Ok?"

Mu Qingfeng turned around and thought to himself, the old fox knew that he had something to hide from all the gossip all the way, "Prince Wang, is there anything else?"

Wang Sidao had a concerned look on his face, "My lord has worked hard all the way to the north. I heard that it is quite dangerous. When he was approaching Jingling City, he was injured in Bieyuan. Is it okay?"

Mu Qingfeng cursed him thousands of times in his heart, but he still smiled warmly on his face, "Thank you Wang for your concern, there are minor injuries on the skin and flesh, I'll get well soon."

"Because of the queen mother's birthday, I was so busy that I couldn't visit the mansion, which made me feel very guilty." Wang Sidao suddenly lowered his voice, "To express my apology, I will send you a small gift to appease the prince. I'm afraid I have already arrived at the mansion, but I hope the prince will accept it with a smile!"

Mu Qingfeng hurriedly declined politely, "Oh, Wang Xiang, you are too polite. You are working hard for the state affairs. This king can't help you much. I am already ashamed. How dare I accept extravagant gifts."

Wang Sidao said sincerely, "My lord, don't refuse, just be careful."

Mu Qingfeng thanked him again, and then said goodbye to him, and got into the carriage.

The moment the carriage door closed, his forced smile froze on the corner of his lips, and slowly disappeared. What kind of gift did the old fox give, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

Wang Sidao also got into the car, and Yan Chen was waiting in the carriage. When he saw Wang Sidao, he bowed his head, "My lord, it's done! The gift has been delivered, and the prison is ready."

Wang Sidao leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes, concealed his chaotic thoughts, and murmured a name in his heart, Binzi, Binzi...

Mu Qingfeng returned to the mansion, and as soon as he got out of the car, Zhou Ping came up to greet him, "My lord, Mr. Wang sent a gift."

Mu Qingfeng walked straight to the backyard and asked casually, "What did you send!"

Zhou Pingdao, "It's two people."

Mu Qingfeng paused, "Two people?"

"Yes".

After changing out of the heavy court clothes, taking a bath and changing clothes, it was almost midnight.

Zhou Ping walked in, holding the jade-encrusted zipper that he carried in his court clothes, "My lord, this old slave just dropped this when cleaning the court clothes, it doesn't seem to belong to the lord."

Mu Qingfeng took it, put it on the table, got up from under the pillow, and took out the bright red Nine Palace Plum Blossom Network that Gu Shaobai "bought" with a thousand taels of silver, and made a careful comparison.

Although the silk thread that Deshun left behind was specially used in the palace, the color is bright and smooth, unlike the most common silk thread that can be bought anywhere in the market, the weaving technique is complicated and the style is unique. From the details, it should be made by the same person.

He rubbed the space between his brows, this doesn't explain anything, maybe it was made in the palace by the maids who were released!

"My lord, Lord Wang's gift is still waiting for my lord to receive it." Zhou Ping offered a cup of sober tea and asked for instructions softly.

Mu Qingfeng said, "Call it."

Not long after Zhou Ping stepped back, the curtain slammed open, and two handsome boys with identical fair faces walked in.

As soon as they entered the door, they all knelt three steps away from Mu Qingfeng, speaking in a clear and sweet voice, "I have seen the prince!"

Mu Qingfeng carefully looked at this pair of twin boys, with red lips, white teeth, black eyebrows and big eyes, and agile eyes, it was clear at a glance that they were ice and snow smart people.

"What's your name and how old are you?"

One of them replied obediently, "My lord, this servant is called Xiaoyu, this is my younger brother, Xiaocai, and both of them are 17 years old."

Mu Qingfeng took two sips of tea, "Did Lord Wang give you the name?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang said that he hoped that the prince will always be in a happy mood and in good spirits. That's why he changed the names of the two servants."

Mu Qingfeng looked at the ingratiating smiles on the faces of the two of them. He was 17 years old, and his youth was just right. Isn't Gu Shaobai also 17 years old!

However, he would not be so obsequious and courteous, he would only stand up to his natural arrogance when encountering hardships, and then, he would rather be broken than broken!

"My lord", Xiao Yu's very soft voice, with a kind of charm from long training, "Can you let the two slaves help the lord to undress and go to bed?"

Mu Qingfeng laughed secretly in his heart, Wang Sidao, this old bastard, really hit his fancy!

He said lightly, "No need, this king still has work to do, you all should step back, from now on, you will not be allowed to enter this king's study and bedroom without summons."

Zhou Ping heard Mu Qingfeng's words outside, and immediately led Xiaoyu and Xiaocai away.

"My lord, what is the purpose of Wang Sidao's move? You need to send this brother far away," Zhou Ping asked while adding sober tea.

"No need", Mu Qingfeng said, "Wang Sidao is a treacherous and cunning..."

"He should be aware that the king has doubts about him. One is to show his favor, and the other is to paralyze the king... Or, he thinks that the king is sure that he dare not send two spies blatantly, but he does the opposite. And as a matter of fact, these are the two spies..."

He picked up the teacup, "You just need someone to pay attention to them, and don't treat them harshly."

Zhou Ping agreed.

Seeing Mu Qingfeng getting up to take off his clothes, he was about to call the servant girl to serve him, and then he heard him ask, "How's the investigation going on in the palace?"

Zhou Pingdao, "Eunuch Lin brought news in the evening that he asked the servants to wait at the East Corner Gate tomorrow, so there should be some clues."

Zhou Ping backed out and called Mu Qingfeng's personal servant girl, Ge Zi, to come in.

"My lord, it's too late at night, take off your clothes." Seeing Mu Qingfeng holding a painting, Ge Zi lingered on it for a long time, couldn't bear to look away, and couldn't help but remind him.

Only then did Mu Qingfeng hand over the painting to her. Ge Zi carefully rolled up the painting while thinking, I really don’t know what’s so interesting, but it’s just a tortoise. It looks better than this one, why does the lord like this one so much, I watch it for a long time before going to bed every day!

Also watching and having fun!Don't be afraid of nightmares!
