In the first year of Honghe, Xiao Beichen, the king of Donggan Kingdom, died in battle.In the following ten years, Ji Muqing, the general who protects the country, fought in all directions to eliminate the chaotic party and rectify the government.

After that, when everyone thought that he was going to retire after his accomplishments and recuperate his sick body, he died laughing in the mausoleum of the former emperor.Before he died, he left a suicide note, not saying anything else, only to be buried with the late emperor.

The people of Donggan Kingdom were so grateful for this feeling that they would never change until their death, so they put down thousands of wishing lamps outside the palace, just to get a pair of heroic souls in the next life.

Time goes back and changes in a blink of an eye. Today is the 25th year of Hongkang.On this day, Prince Xiao Beichen just reached the weak crown.

In the bedroom, the warm sunlight had already climbed onto the bed through the window lattice.In the chaos, Ji Muqing heard a rapid knock on the door, and after a long time, he shouted impatiently: "What are you arguing about? Go train with the general with such an air!"

There was no sound outside.

Ji Muqing turned over with her eyes closed, but she only felt that her body was brisk, without the slightest pain of injuries and illnesses when he died.Then he slightly opened one eye, and saw the familiar furnishings in the house.

——This seems to be my bedroom, am I alive?

Puzzled, he noticed something was a little different in the room.Just as he was about to take a closer look, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the servants rushed in, followed by his father, Ji Huaiyuan, who was the Taifu of the Donggan Kingdom, stepping in, "The auspicious time is coming, sleep on!"

Ji Muqing opened her mouth slightly, looked at her father whose temples were still dark, and asked in confusion, "What auspicious time?"

After half an hour—

Ji Muqing looked at the light gauze red curtain above his head, slowly raised the back of his hand and bit it hard, "Hiss—" it was a kind pain.Then he stared blankly at the calm but still childish Xiao Beichen on the high seat, and smiled unconsciously at the corners of his lips.

He took a deep breath, and after repeatedly confirming that he was not in a dream, he was convinced that he should be reborn.

And Xiao Beichen found him staring at him, and smiled back.

The light in that person's eyes was unique when he looked at him, Ji Muqing's heart was pounding and he was extremely excited.

——Great, you are still here.

The sound of horns sounded outside the hall of Shu'er, and the auspicious time for the crown ceremony had arrived, and everyone on the left and right stood up solemnly to hear this.

Standing by the side, Ji Muqing happened to be able to see Xiao Beichen's profile.The man knelt in the hall with his waist straight, neither humble nor overbearing.At this time, the sun was just right, and outlined the firm outline of his face.It seems that in front of people, he always looks like this.

But this kind of maturity and stability, but he has to endure his youthful spirit and secret love to maintain it.Thinking of this, Ji Muqing felt a little sad.

Ji Muqing was two years older than Xiao Beichen. Because of his father, he often went to and from the palace since he was a child, so the two had known each other since they were young.

Xiao Beichen has been brought up as a future monarch since he was a child, and his literary and military strategies are outstanding.And Ji Muqing was destined to be his close minister to assist him in the future, so he learned many things together.Then one day, an assassin infiltrated the royal palace and kidnapped Xiao Beichen, who was only ten years old, away. It was Ji Muqing who drove thousands of miles at night to catch up with the assassin, sent a signal for help in time, and finally brought Xiao Beichen back to the capital.

Since then, Ji Muqing has determined to be a general who can protect the monarch and the country.And the relationship between the two teenagers is getting deeper and deeper, even if Xiao Beichen later inherits the throne, the two will definitely not distinguish between monarchs and ministers in private.

After a long time, the ceremony is over.

The officials went to the banquet hall in twos and threes, and Ji Muqing walked among them, looking forward a little anxiously.

Xiao Beichen, who was walking in the front row, felt that someone was looking at him, but it was not the gaze of ordinary powerful officials, but the kind of burning gaze that wanted to see through people, so he frowned and turned his head.But when he saw that it was Ji Muqing looking straight at him, he was even more confused.

Xiao Beichen thought that Ji Muqing was looking for him on something important, so he asked his father for permission to leave for a short time, and walked to the other side at the corner of the corridor.He walked into an empty small hall, facing the door and calmly waiting for someone to come.Not long after, Ji Muqing really followed.

Xiao Beichen saw that he was a little depressed, and said worriedly: "But what happened?"

Without saying a word, Ji Muqing slowly closed the palace door, staring intently at the person who was an inch away.

When he is alone with him, Xiao Beichen's face will be much softer, his eyes are deep, hiding the warm spring water, and he does not see the cold, arrogant and lonely in front of ordinary people.Xiao Beichen would always make many exceptions for him. Before, he left everyone behind because of his gaze, but now he knew that time was running out, but he still didn't say any words of urging.

"It's just a little emotional." Ji Muqing smiled and replied in a hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness is now an adult."

After hearing this, Xiao Beichen hesitated and didn't know how to answer, and finally just sighed: "Time flies."

"En." Ji Muqing nodded, trying her best to calm her heart.He thought that he could calmly accept even the rebirth, so he could naturally hide the ten years of lovesickness in his heart.He grinned, managed to maintain a smile and said, "In the past, I loved to have fun and didn't know how to cherish it. Now that I understand that time waits for no one, I can feel it."

Xiao Beichen frowned. Today, Ji Muqing's behavior is really different from usual, and he has always been optimistic, and he will not say things lamenting time for no reason.Just as she was thinking about something special recently, Ji Muqing got a little closer at this moment.

"Now His Royal Highness looks taller than Weichen." Ji Muqing took a step forward cautiously, and took another step forward to embrace Xiao Beichen. "It's also much stronger than Weichen." He finally said After being defeated, his ear was pressed against the opposite chest, and the person in front of him was also surprised by it.

--I miss you.

The warmth from the opposite side came through the thin fabric, and the heartbeat that signaled life—this moment is enough.

"What's the matter?" A worried question came from above, and Ji Muqing naturally wouldn't talk about past life and rebirth.He was troubled for a while, and a ghost came to say: "Cold."

"..."

Xiao Beichen looked outside at the sunny early summer sky, and without saying anything, he stood upright for him to lean on.Then, he noticed that Ji Muqing's body was trembling slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he still raised his hand to caress the hair of the person in his arms, and approached the person's ear to comfort him: "It's okay, I'm here."

After a while, the two separated in silence.

When the four eyes met, Ji Muqing was still guilty, but seeing that Xiao Beichen didn't intend to speak out to expose this childish lie, he turned around and opened the door of the palace as if nothing had happened, "Let's go... Your Highness, there is still a banquet." Then he ran away without waiting for anyone to act, leaving Xiao Beichen standing quietly on the spot alone, clenched into fists with his hands behind his back.

The crown prince and crown can be regarded as a major event in the Donggan Kingdom. On this day, Xiao Beichen was officially bestowed with the watchword "Fengyi" and accompanied by the national sword "Fengyang".At this point, it has been shown that he has the qualifications to enter the court for discussion.

At this moment, Xiao Beichen was wearing a fine attire and serving wine and food as a concierge. Although these are the fixed procedures of the crown ceremony, this banquet was by no means as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.

The monarch Xiao Tianze has two sons in the palace.Xiao Beichen was the second son of the late emperor's empress.He also has an elder brother named Xiao Mingxuan born to a concubine.

Ning Wang Xiao Mingxuan, as the eldest son, was unwilling to lose the position of prince just because of the difference between his concubine and his concubine, so he made troubles for Xiao Beichen everywhere, and designed to make him lose the king's heart or ruin his reputation.

And Xiao Beichen naturally disdains to fight with his elder brother. If it wasn't for Xiao Mingxuan's difficulty in taking on the big responsibility, and finally deviated from the scriptures and forced the palace to rebel, he might really hand over the world to others.

This was what Xiao Beichen said in person. At that time, Ji Muqing didn't think much about it, but now that he has lived his life again, he fully understands Xiao Beichen's difficulties.

After Xiao Mingxuan failed to force the palace, he was sentenced to death, and his wife and children were also exiled in the wild and demoted to common people.If Xiao Beichen hadn't married a wife and had children, then the Xiao family would not be able to pass on the bloodline.From this point of view, Xiao Beichen had planned to get rid of the shackles of the royal power very early, but it was a pity that good fortune tricked people, and the world was unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Ji Muqing blamed herself deeply.He was a young man who was unrestrained and uninhibited, and didn't look at the overall situation. After confirming that he and Xiao Beichen were in love with each other, he waited leisurely for a promise from him.Unable to wait, she teased him, lied to him, and even forced him under the pretense of getting married.

"I should say I'm sorry." Ji Muqing said guiltily in the corner.He watched Xiao Beichen wandering among the powerful officials, with that polite and alienated smile on his lips, and felt a little distressed.

After today, there will be a sudden change in the court.But before that, he had to change one impulsive thing.

At this banquet, Ji Muqing deliberately avoided persuading him to drink, because in his previous life, on the day of Xiao Beichen and Guan's death, they had a romantic relationship overnight.This was the only intimacy they had in their previous lives.

Ji Muqing licked her dry lips, changed her sitting position and continued to meditate.In his memory, he stayed here that day, and the Ji Mansion couldn't find anyone, so he ran to the palace again, and happened to bump into him sleeping in Xiao Beichen's bedroom in disheveled clothes.

Afterwards, he left the palace at night, while Xiao Beichen was confinement and self-reflection. The two met again after several months, and they both avoided talking about the one-night stand.

This time we must not repeat the same mistakes, Ji Muqing scratched his head, his face was full of irritability, because he had no memory of that night, and the affair was told to him by outsiders.

While thinking hard, he raised his eyes and saw Xiao Beichen looking at him suspiciously, and hurriedly shook his head to indicate that there was nothing wrong.

"Lingjing?" Xiao Beichen still came forward.Lingjing is Ji Muqing's epigraph.

Ji Muqing's heart trembled, and he saw that the man's cheeks were stained with a very faint blush, and his thin lips were moistened with sweet wine, which looked a little seductive.After realizing what she was thinking, Ji Muqing quickly pinched her thigh, and said to herself: It's important.

Immediately, he stood up, supported Xiao Beichen's upright body, and said with concern with a sideways face: "Just make sense, I don't think you can stand still."

Xiao Beichen has practiced drinking, but if he wants to toast to every family, no one can stand it.

"It's okay," Xiao Beichen smiled. He could see Ji Muqing's expression before, "It just so happened that my father called me. It's a pity that I haven't had a drink with you yet. Wait for me a moment."

Ji Muqing turned her head and took a deep look at him, then said softly, "Okay."

After the concierge, there was a salute, and Xiao Beichen was going to the Changhua Hall to receive a speech of instruction.Ji Muqing was sitting where he was, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and when everyone was talking and drinking, he quietly left the banquet hall.

He walked not far from the Changhua Hall, and saw that there were experts guarding the surrounding eaves, so he gave up his plan to eavesdrop.He was about to return when he caught a glimpse of a group of palace people waiting outside from the corner of his eye, so he decided to find another way to talk to the chief stewards around him.

Director Xue, Xue Tao, saw Ji Muqing wandering around from a distance. Seeing someone walking towards him, he quickly went up to him and asked, "Oh, why did General Ji come here?"

"Where is this?" Ji Muqing narrowed his eyes and glanced behind Xue Tao, then pulled him aside, and said gracefully: "The general is looking for the prince."

"His Royal Highness is receiving instruction, General Ji will wait a little longer." Xue Tao called to the left and right to stop Ji Muqing.He couldn't tell whether Ji Muqing was drunk or awake at the moment, but he couldn't let her go.

Ji Muqing pursed her lips and said, "What kind of teaching do you have to talk for so long?"

"Naturally, it is an important task for the country. Hey, General Ji!"

Seeing that Ji Muqing suddenly fell to one side, everyone present hurriedly straightened him up.Xue Tao wiped his sweat, and said, "General Ji, we see that you are not drunk, why can't you stand still?"

"I don't know, I just feel weak." Ji Muqing leaned on the stone pillar beside him, paused before continuing: "Could it be that I drank something wrong?"

"General Ji, don't scare our family. This is the crown prince's coronation ceremony. If something goes wrong, how can we afford it?"

"I just said it casually. I don't think I feel uncomfortable drinking today." Ji Muqing saw that the expressions of the people in front of him had no flaws, so he pretended to say casually: "Does the wine of His Royal Highness never get drunk after a thousand cups?" ? I see he drank a lot."

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness wants to respect the officials, so it's not easy to get drunk." Seeing that Ji Muqing was about to leave, Xue Tao secretly thought that he could finally send the Buddha away, so he replied very quickly.

"Okay, then I'll drink his!" Ji Muqing waved his arms and swung back.

There is nothing wrong with Xue Tao's words. If something goes wrong during the crown ceremony, the palace people preparing the banquet will be implicated. This is not the time for them to choose to make a move.

While contemplating, Ji Muqing had already returned to the banquet hall, and Xiao Beichen never thought that he would also rush over behind him, "I heard that you were making a fuss outside the Changhua Hall to see me."

"En." Ji Muqing sat on the seat in a daze, looking at people with blinking eyes.

It was rare for Xiao Beichen to see his cute appearance, so he chuckled unconsciously. "Did you not eat anything?" Xiao Beichen picked up the wine glass on the small table solemnly, and after smelling it, he didn't feel anything wrong. Then he saw that the dishes on the small table hadn't moved, so he guessed.

Ji Muqing smiled dryly, "It seems so."

"No wonder you are powerless." Xiao Beichen shook his head helplessly, turned around and ordered his subordinates to go to the dining room to cook a bowl of porridge, and then sat down beside him.

There are indeed too many strange things about the behavior of the people next to me today.Xiao Beichen looked at Ji Muqing quietly, and saw that he was holding his eyebrows as if something was on his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he asked softly, "Then, do you still drink my glass of wine?"

"Drink!" Ji Muqing straightened up, he had to figure out why he stayed in the palace in his previous life, and whether the two of them got together.

He bent his eyebrows, lightly climbed onto Xiao Beichen's shoulders, leaned in front of the person and pursed his lips and said, "When I'm full, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

The author has something to say: Ji Muqing: When the author comes out, do you dare to let me come back later.

Author: This is not time for you to prepare, so you can counterattack. (of course this is impossible)
