Invite the wolf into the room

He also turned his head and stopped looking at Xue Jingran. His handsome face seemed to be covered with frost. He was already cold and arrogant with this expression of avoiding strangers, but it made those aristocratic ministers who spend a lot of time start to feel angry. Drumming, I don't know if someone has fallen into Prince Rui's hands, although this master has not been in charge of government affairs much these two years, but he is a ruthless master who destroys people everywhere...

The emperor walking at the front didn't notice the undercurrent between his left and right hands. He was happy for Xue Jingran's return. Xiao Mufeng was the most wise and benevolent emperor since Jialin founded the country. His achievements were seen by the world, but It can be said that Xiao Muyao and Xue Jingran paved the way for him to achieve today's order and prohibition, and the hearts of the people. They are also Xiao Mufeng's most trusted and valued younger brothers and courtiers.

At the celebration banquet, Xiao Mufeng smiled and looked at Xue Jingran who was sitting on the lower seat on his right for a long time before finally sighing with emotion:

"My Jingran is finally back."

"His Majesty……"

Seeing the gratification and love in the emperor's eyes, Xue Jingran felt a surge of excitement in his heart. How could he not spend his life repaying the respect and trust of the king for a minister?

At the beginning, when Xue Jingran, who had just inherited the position of General, resolutely chose the faction of the weakest direct prince when the three dragons seized the throne, it was because Xiao Mufeng was a truly kind and generous person, and it was also because Xiao Mufeng sincerely treated him. Only then will Xue Jingran truly swear allegiance to him.

Xue Jingran took the empty wine glass on his table and poured half a glass of wine, then got up and walked to Xiao Mufeng's side, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and offered the wine in front of Xiao Mufeng.

"Chen, you're back!"

"Okay, okay..."

Xiao Mufeng took Xue Jingran's toast and drank it all in one gulp, and then, regardless of the other customs of those monarchs and ministers, he personally held Xue Jingran's hand and helped him up. The smiling face let the officials know what a dragon's heart is. Yue, the clever ones naturally knelt down on the ground shouting "Long live my emperor".

And after Xiao Mufeng stood up, Xiao Muyao, who also got up with him, was the only person in the room who did not kneel down except the two of them. At this time, he looked at Xiao Mufeng and Xue Jingran's intimacy, and his body began to look outward again. Taking a cold breath, but Xiao Mufeng, who had his back turned to him, didn't feel anything, but Xue Jingran glanced at him again, Xiao Muyao restrained his emotions, and turned his eyes away from them.

"By the way, Jing Ran, your cousin Ling Qingzhe has made a great contribution recently, and Prince Rui specially recommended him to me."

After everyone was seated again, Xiao Mufeng remembered what Xiao Muyao said, and scolded Xue Jingran a few words as if joking.

"Prince Rui doesn't tell me that I don't know yet, that younger brother of yours is really a talented person, and he actually let you out to become a small county magistrate. Don't tell me you and I are still taboo about being good and avoiding relatives?"

"I don't dare, it's just that my younger brother is young and arrogant. I want him to hone his skills outside. Besides, if he is really talented, even if he doesn't need the recommendation of the minister, he will naturally make a difference..."

When Xue Jingran heard Xiao Mufeng suddenly mention Ling Qingzhe, his heart tightened, and he glanced at Xiao Muyao who was sitting opposite him, but the other party looked at Xiao Mufeng and ignored him.

"It is indeed very accomplished. I have seen his way of governing the county. It is very flexible and perfect. It can be expanded and used...it doesn't make sense with a general like you."

When it came to the way of governing the country, Xiao Mufeng naturally revealed the wisdom of a person in power, but he knew that he had no common topic with Xue Jingran in this regard, so he quickly stopped talking.

"I have already decided that I will promote Qingzhe to be the editor of the Imperial Academy. From the fifth rank, I will bestow a mansion in Beijing..."

As soon as Xiao Mufeng said this, it immediately attracted the attention of all officials. What is the Hanlin Academy? It is the porch of the cabinet. Which of the cabinet officials is not from the Imperial Academy. He was directly promoted by the academy, so even though his official position is only from the fifth rank, his future is limitless.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for my brother..."

Xue Jingran saw that Xiao Mufeng had opened his mouth, so he could only thank Ling Qingzhe for the reward. He was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that Ling Qingzhe had been transferred back to the capital, so he could see each other often in the future. Xue Jingran will not intentionally do wrong things in order to escape, this younger brother's temperament is very clear...

Now I can only wait for Ling Qingzhe to return to Beijing, and then I can have a good talk with him.

The banquet in the palace ended early, but the dinner in Xue's mansion lasted the whole night, but with Xue Jingyang, the handsome young master of the Xue family, Xue Jingran, the rightful lord, had a chance to take a break, so he went there while there was a gap Rested alone in the garden.

Xue Jingran, who had changed from armor to brocade suit, sat in the pavilion to rest, ordered fruit wine to be prepared, and then dismissed the servants.Xue Jingran quietly looked at the sky full of stars, and felt that his mind had calmed down, and the hustle and bustle of Xue's mansion had gone away from him.

"General Xue is so elegant, are you here to enjoy the moon alone?"

A slightly cold and arrogant voice came from behind Xue Jingran. Hearing this, Xue Jingran withdrew his gaze from Fan Xing and stood up to look back at the visitor.

"Prince Rui, tonight is Shuo Ye."

Xue Jingran bowed slightly to the person who came, and gave Xiao Muyao a flattering compliment.

In the night of Shuo Ye, where is the moon to enjoy?

"You...do you have to talk to me like this?"

Xiao Muyao said the words casually, but he didn't pay attention to whether there was a moon in the sky. Now that Xue Jingran pushed him like this, a small flame in his heart rose up, and he strode to Xue Jingran's side.

"I don't dare, my lord, please sit down."

Xue Jingran ignored the anger in Xiao Muyao's eyes, and filled the two wine glasses on the table with wine.He knew that Xiao Muyao would come to find him, so he had two sets of cups and saucers prepared at the beginning.

"..."

Xiao Muyao looked at the table, suppressed the anger in his heart again, sat down on the chair opposite Xue Jingran with a soft snort, and took a drink from the glass.

"My lord came to look for my minister, I don't know what's the matter?"

Xue Jingran filled Xiao Muyao's wine again as he spoke, and then slowly drank his own cup.

"Congratulations to the great general on his triumphant return."

Xiao Muyao gritted his teeth a little bit when he said these words, he just wanted to talk to him, I haven't seen him for more than two years, so why should I put on such a dead look for myself as soon as we meet!

"Thank you, Lord."

After Xue Jingran finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and stopped looking at Xiao Muyao, which made the relationship between the two completely cold. As the great general of Jialin Kingdom, Xue Jingran's allegiance is only Jialin Emperor Xiao Mufeng, even if he is the prince. Xiao Muyao, he doesn't need to have much scruples.

"The general is indeed only loyal to my brother, and it's just him alone!"

Thinking of Xue Jingran's sincerity in front of Xiao Mufeng, and seeing his sarcastic remarks to him, Xiao Muyao felt that the fire in his heart was burning more and more.

Xue Jingran is a person, even when you can't see him, you will always remember his good, but when you see him, you can only see his bad!

"Isn't this exactly what the prince expected?"

Xue Jingran looked at the man who looked more cold and aloof under the moonlit night, and sighed with some emotion.

It has been so many years, and His Majesty has already settled down in this country, so why does he persist in the past? Could it be that he still can't believe his loyalty to His Majesty?

"Xue Jingran!"

Xiao Muyao gave Xue Jingran a bitter look, and finally couldn't help but walk away, he was afraid that if he stayed again, he would not be able to resist punching that person in the face!

"My temper is still so bad..."

Looking at the back of Xiao Muyao going away, Xue Jingran shook his head lightly, and continued drinking lightly facing the starry sky alone.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Qingzhe, I have something to tell you."

After dinner, An Chen looked at Ling Qingzhe who was leaning on the bedside reading a book, leaned over to him and looked down at him.

"Say."

Hearing this, Ling Qingzhe shifted his gaze from the book to An Chen's face, then moved himself into the bed to make room for An Chen to sit on.

"I want to go to Beijing to do something. It will take half a month at the earliest, and I will be back in a month at the slowest."

While talking, An Chen carefully looked at Ling Qingzhe's expression, seeing that he didn't show any signs of displeasure, he continued tentatively.

"I'm just going to meet someone to give him something and then I'll be right back."

Ling Qingzhe listened to An Chen's words all the time, seeing that he didn't explain more to him, Ling Qingzhe put the book beside the bed, then pinched An Chen's chin with his fingers to force him to lean over to him.

"no!"

There was still a smile on the corner of Ling Qingzhe's mouth, but his eyes were already deserted... He was angry.

The author has something to say: The entangled elder brother's generation... things are not what you think~~haha

shameless……

"Ok?"

As if he didn't expect Ling Qingzhe to deny his words so directly, An Chen, whose chin was pinched by him, looked at him in a daze, not knowing how to continue.

"How did you meet me? How did you get that injury?"

Ling Qingzhe slightly narrowed his eyes with a hint of anger, because of An Chen's lack of love for himself.

Are Qijie Building and King An so easy to deal with?I'm afraid that if An Chen's front foot is out of his protection range, the pursuit of those people on the back foot will come. Is he going to go all the way into the capital!

"It was an accident... You trust me, I can guarantee it."

An Chen hesitated
