Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

Mu Chengan took out two things from under the small table, and threw one of them to Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing laughed when he saw it: "It turns out that the prince has already thought about it, it's Yuan Jing who made me worry too much."

"Wu Yi, let's go."

"Yes."

The carriage started to move, Yuan Jing played with the mask in his hand for a while, then looked at Mu Chengan's, a little annoyed: "Why did you get me a cat mask?"

Mu Chengan did it on purpose, the young man was like a cat, he pretended to be serious and said: "I just took it casually, I didn't notice it, is it appropriate to wear it?"

What else can Yuan Jing say?Although I really want to get Mu Cheng'an's tiger-head mask, but I can't let the dignified Zhenbei king wear a cat-head mask. Although no one else knows, if it gets out one day, it will damage the reputation of the Zhenbei king. .

Forget it, work harder, so Yuan Jing put the mask on his face. He didn't see the smile flashing in Mu Chengan's eyes. He kept staring at it, and then showed a satisfied expression. It was worthwhile for him to choose this one himself. The mask really fits perfectly.

After arriving at the place, Mu Chengan also put on his tiger head mask, then took Yuan Jing's hand, and the two got out of the car together, and merged into the crowd to watch the lantern festival.

The two are one tall and one short, with a tiger head and a cat head. People will only smile knowingly when they see it, and they will think that maybe they are father and son traveling together. Who would have thought that behind the tiger head mask would be the dignified Zhenbei who was cultivated in the mansion. What about the king?

Before, because he had to protect his grandma and watch his mother and younger brother, Yuan Jing didn't enjoy playing to the fullest, but this time he didn't have to. This time, he won two lantern riddle games and two lanterns. This time, he deliberately took the one Mu Chengan carried the lantern full of rabbits, and he carried the lantern with opera characters on it.

Mu Chengan looked at the rabbit on the revolving lantern, but raised his eyebrows and didn't object. In his eyes, the rabbit was Yuan Jing, and he was afraid of running away now that he held it in his hand?

Suddenly, another candied haws was stuffed into his hand, and he looked up to see Yuan Jing holding another one in his hand. Even though he was wearing a mask, he could still see the playful smile in his eyes, wanting to make a fool of himself.

Mu Ancheng signaled Yuan Jing to look, holding a lamp and candied haws in his hand, how do you want to eat it?

Yuan Jing: Did you make a mistake?

Mu Ancheng kindly suggested: "Why don't I carry both lamps, how about feeding me?"

Behind the mask, Yuan Jing's face was a little hot. Sure enough, he met someone more powerful in his life, but in order not to let this person see his jokes, Yuan Jing pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, as long as, cough, An Cheng you Just don't mind."

"Of course not." Hearing Yuan Jing call himself An Cheng, Mu Ancheng was very happy, and offered Yuan Jing to take the candied haws, and motioned for him to hand over the lamp.

Both of them had only one hand to use, and the other was holding each other. Mu Chengan didn't want to let go. In his words, he was afraid of getting separated, so he had to hold on.

So next, Mu Chengan held two lamps, and Yuan Jing handed the candied haws to his mouth. Mu Chengan looked into Yuan Jing's eyes with a smile, and opened his mouth to bite off one, which made Yuan Jing almost unable to catch the candied haws Steady, but this person can eat it without changing his face.

Yuan Jing took a bite by himself, hissed, so sour, he miscalculated.

In the end, the two of them only ate half of it, and it was Mu Ancheng who wrinkled the half of Yuan Jing's face that was supposed to be exposed, and threw away the rest, so Yuan Jing was liberated.

The candied haws made a good start, and the two of them ate a lot of snacks along the street.

Mu Chengan stopped suddenly, Yuan Jing asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Mu Chengan said: "It's a disappointment, you meet someone who disappoints you."

Yuan Jing looked up and followed his gaze, and saw a nobleman holding the hand of a young lady. The young lady's face was somewhat familiar, and the two were surrounded by waiters. enough.

"Tao Yuzhu? No, the current Yan Zhifu and the little prince?"

"It's not them, don't look at them, let's go to the river to watch the lanterns." The dignified prince has also learned about the Lantern Festival, knows what programs are on, and doesn't want irrelevant people to stain their eyes and ruin tonight's show atmosphere.

Yuan Jing felt the same mood, and immediately changed direction: "Okay, listen to you."

These words pleased Mu Chengan, so he took his hand and changed the way.

The figures of these two people had just disappeared on this street, Mu Jinxuan and Yan Zhifu looked over as if aware of it, but they saw nothing except the heads.

That feeling just passed by, neither of them thought about it seriously, Mu Jinxuan said: "The third prince is waiting for us in the teahouse in front, shall we go and sit for a while?"

"Okay, listen to brother Jinxuan." Yan Zhifu looked at Mu Jinxuan softly and said.

Fortunately, Yuan Jing left, otherwise if he stayed here and heard Yan Zhifu's voice, he would have goosebumps all over the floor and would have nightmares all night.

Yuan Jing had a great time, and Mu Ancheng sent him back to Tao's house late in the evening, seeing him disappear after entering the door, the smile on his face did not fade away.

After the Lantern Festival, the Tao family got busy again, because the exam was getting closer and closer.

The Tao family can't help Yuan Jing with homework, but they can still provide Yuan Jing with a quiet and comfortable environment, especially pay attention to diet. When the exam is approaching, Yuan Jing finds that his face is round , This time, Yuan Jing walked into the examination room again with the blessings of his family. What was different from the past was that there was a special sender outside the examination room.

Even though it was just an ordinary public carriage parked at the side, and the curtain was only raised at one corner, not even the faces of the people inside were exposed, but through telepathy, Yuan Jing knew that the person in the carriage looking out was Mu Chengan, he I also came to send myself an exam, but I didn't mention a word when we met before.

Yuan Jing glanced there for a few times, and then touched the jade pendant on his chest with his hand. Since the reunion, no one has mentioned this jade pendant. As for the reward for saving his life, Yuan Jing has already received it. .

The person disappeared into the examination room, and the curtain of the ordinary carriage was lowered, and a faint voice came from the carriage: "Go back."

"Yes." Wu Yi acted as the coachman again, he was blind and couldn't see anything.

"You can start."

"Yes, master."

Mu Chengan didn't want to affect Yuan Jing's exam, so he postponed the hands-on time so that he could concentrate on preparing for the exam during this time.

Now, there's no need, his cheap son can't wait any longer, he really asked the imperial decree to marry him to that stiff woman with Li Daitao.

It would be better to give him a marriage, otherwise he would worry that he would not be able to tie the couple together, so that this cheap son would not harm other people's good girls.

The exam is still three consecutive exams, each three days, but compared with the rural exam, the weather is still quite cold at this time, and you have to sleep in the exam dormitory at night. You can imagine the taste, and you can't survive each exam There are many people.

When he finally walked out of the examination room after the exam, Yuan Jing also heaved a sigh of relief. He saw his father holding the quilt outside and looking forward to it. Carried it to the carriage parked on the side, and there was hot soup prepared on the carriage for Yuan Jing to drink to warm himself up.

Tao Dayong took care of several exams, and he also took care of his experience. Looking at his son's complexion, he knew that his condition was much better than other candidates. At that time, he forgot that Yuan Jing was weaker than his peers when he was born, which made the old lady think of letting him study.

Yu Xiao and Zou Weiting also had their family members come to pick them up. Yuan Jing waited for them to get out of the carriage and got into his own carriage. After saying goodbye to them, he went home with his father. No need to think about anything, just soaked in a hot bath, drank a big bowl of meat porridge, and then climbed into bed comfortably and went to sleep.

Senior Brother Di was very concerned about this little junior brother, so he specially sent his son to check on Yuanjing's situation. Afraid that something would be wrong, the Tao family would not be able to invite a good doctor, and even the doctor was brought along with him. I am very grateful. After the doctor took the pulse, the situation is of course very good. I don’t even need to prescribe medicine, just provide delicious food and drink.

After getting up again, Yuan Jing was alive and well. He went to see his brother, Yu Xiao and Zou Weiting. It would be great if the two of them survived a test. They were still lying on the bed, not like Yuan Jing Now that I can run around, I feel envious and jealous of him.

It took another two days before the two of them came out, maybe they had held back for too long, they couldn't be active, both Yu Xiao and Zou Weiting were gossiping.

"Something happened, something big happened!" Yu Xiao yelled from afar before reaching Yuan Jing's study, and Zou Weiting walked behind, looking much calmer.

Yuan Jing heard them coming to the door of the study to greet them: "What happened to make Yu Xiao such a fuss?"

Later, Zou Weiting held a folding fan in his hand in this kind of weather. He really needed demeanor rather than temperature, and his body was just right. He smiled and said, "I really don't blame Yu Xiao for this. It's been a blast for a while."

"I don't want to whet your appetite, Yuanjing. You also know that just after the first month, the Holy Majesty gave the young prince of the Zhenbei Palace a new marriage. But no one thought that the woman he liked was just a young lady who lived in the Yongchanghou's mansion..."

Perhaps because Zou Weiting spoke too slowly and didn't get to the point, Yu Xiao simply rushed over and said, "It turns out that Miss Yan has another love. He led someone to catch him, and there was a conflict between the three of them. One was not good, the little prince fell off the horse and was kicked by the horse. Anyway, the scene was chaotic enough, and now the little prince doesn't know what's going on. .”

Yuan Jing blinked, and then blinked again, needless to say, it was Mu Chengan who made the move, he did not expect to choose such a time.

"Look, Yuan Jing, you were stunned too. You think it's unbelievable." Yu Xiao misinterpreted Yuan Jing's expression, thinking that Yuan Jing and him reacted the same way when they first heard the news, that is, they didn't know what to do. What a reaction.

Yuan Jing rubbed his face, and said following his words: "Yeah, I was shocked, how did the Holy One react to this matter? The other son... who is it?"

Zou Weiting sneered and said, "He is the son of Yan Shilang's family, and he is quite famous in the capital. No, he is famous enough."

The son of Yan Shilang's family is well-known in the capital as a man with both talent and appearance. The few sour poems he wrote were sought after by many daughters in the boudoir. All the talented people are like Yan Rusong, which really tarnishes the reputation of talented people.

Of course Yuan Jing knew about this situation, otherwise how could he have been so fascinated by Tao Yuzhu's previous life that he still did not forget the old love after rebirth and wanted to renew the former relationship, but later because he had a better choice, he did not. After getting rid of Yan Rusong, he still has his appetite. Maybe watching Yan Rusong circle around her satisfies her vanity.

It should be more satisfying now, the romantic scandal between the three should be spread all over the streets and alleys, from the rich and powerful to the ordinary people, everyone will talk about it with great interest.

"The Holy Majesty was very angry. Yan Rusong and that young lady are now in custody. It is estimated that the Holy Majesty will be free to interrogate them. However, Yuan Jing, why do you only ask the Holy Majesty and not the Zhenbei Palace? Could it be... ..." Yu Xiao looked around, approached Yuan Jing and said in a low voice, "Did you also hear about that incident?"

Of course, Yuan Jing could hear that Yu Xiao was referring to Mu Jinxuan's real life experience. Seeing that Zou Weiting also covered half of his face with a fan to hide his smile, Yuan Jing rolled his eyes helplessly: "Who is the Holy One?" I have always loved and favored the little prince too much, even ruining the marriage bestowed by my father, it is hard for people not to believe it."

The three of them shrugged their shoulders and sniggered together tacitly, and then put the topic aside. It's not good to talk too much, everything is kept silent.

The two of them took Yuanjing to sit in the restaurant and teahouse outside. Sure enough, they could hear a lot of gossip about the three people's grievances and hatreds, and some even added a lot of eclectic plots, which made people suspect that they were hiding from others. I heard it with my own ears in bed.

Because of this incident, the attention of the just-concluded examination has dropped a lot, because the fact that the young prince was quickly given a marriage after retiring from the engagement had originally aroused the attention of people in the capital. A love affair in which each other is jealous.

The students who were waiting for the results of the examination were also stunned, and the pedantic ones yelled that it was insulting to the gentlemen, and that the little prince's behavior had ruined the reputation of the Zhenbei Palace for many years.

Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has always had a very high reputation among the people. Over the years guarding the border has worked hard, and most of the Mu family's children died on the battlefield. Now there is only Zhenbei King left. Even this little prince is an adoptive heir. As a matter of fact, neither literati nor warriors have a good impression of this young prince.

This is different from the plot. In the plot, Mu Jinxuan has inherited the throne of the old Zhenbei King and became the new Zhenbei King. He holds great power, which is not something ordinary people can afford. , or extended to him.

But now the old Zhenbei King is still in charge. Although it is said that his health is not very good, as long as he is alive for a day, he will still be the patron saint of Daxia. The various behaviors of this little prince will be disliked.

What happened to Prince Mu's health? News spread quickly. The calf bone of one of his legs was crushed. After the injury, the leg was also disabled. Even if the emperor wanted to hide it from the outside world, the news spread quickly. Not only would Mu Cheng'an not fulfill his wish, but his grown-up sons also contributed to the flames, making the old emperor lose his temper in the palace.

He called the secret guard who was in charge of investigating this matter: "Tell me, what happened? Did Mu Cheng'an do it?"

The old emperor's first object of suspicion was Mu Cheng'an. After all, he had a guilty conscience. When Mu Cheng'an was attacked on his way back to Beijing from the border, he not only helped those who did it a lot, but even sent those who did it to him. No matter how thorough he was, he was worried that Mu Chengan would find out the clues. After all, Mu Chengan came back alive, and if he died, it would be over.

But Mu Chengan has been back for more than three years, and he has been recuperating in the mansion without doing anything. He gradually put the matter aside, but Mu Jinxuan was injured and disabled. How would the Northern Army obey the orders of an heir with a disabled leg and unable to go to the battlefield?

So the old emperor suspected that Mu Cheng'an's mansion was too deep, and he waited for more than three years until everyone relaxed before he did it.

In fact, the old emperor didn't know that Mu Chengan didn't just rest in the mansion for the past three years, he moved a lot of hands and feet.

The secret guard reported the situation honestly: "The king of Zhenbei did not take action, but his subordinates... found that several highnesses have intervened."

"Damn it!" The old emperor was so angry that he swept everything on the table in front of him to the ground, "They have turned against the sky one by one? Can Jin Xuan be tolerated so much? What kind of hindrance does Jin Xuan have on them?"

If the princes heard this, they would definitely object, so how could there be no hindrance?The older the old emperor, the more confused his brain became. Anyone with eyes can see his preference for Mu Jinxuan. After he inherits the power of the Zhenbei Palace, he may not be able to pass them directly and hand over the throne to him. Which of these sons can beat Mu Jinxuan who holds great power?

Therefore, this matter was promoted by Mu Cheng'an behind the scenes, and several princes got involved, and successfully disabled Mu Jinxuan, directly cutting off his path to the top.

That's why Mu Jinxuan will suffer so much. The root cause is the old emperor. His excessive favoritism made them unable to hold back, who already doubted Mu Jinxuan's life experience. They took action to abolish him. The old emperor still couldn't do it. Put a cripple on the throne of the emperor.

The old emperor made a big fuss, asked the hidden guard to keep the evidence, and continued to let him keep an eye on his good sons, leaving only one personal eunuch in the palace to wait on him, and this eunuch has been with him for many years. Knowing Mu Jinxuan's life experience clearly, after the old emperor was angry, he thought of the current situation is extremely powerless.

"You said, there is really no hands and feet of Zhenbei King?" No matter how you look at it, the one who benefits the most is Zhenbei King.

The old eunuch thought about it and said: "The King Zhenbei's move is meaningless. After all, he has no offspring long ago. Is it possible that he can adopt another heir? No matter what, after a hundred years, those military powers will still return to the royal family."

The old emperor also knew this truth, he was just afraid that he would not be able to wait until this day, or that what he was waiting for was King Zhenbei to meet him in battle. If King Zhenbei existed for a day, he would not be at ease.

The old emperor thought of the culprit who caused this situation, and became annoyed again: "I just said that woman is not worthy of him, but he was confused by that woman, and he would rather resign from the marriage of the Taifu's house and marry that woman." Woman, it's alright now, that flirtatious bitch, I want her to die!"

He is still not satisfied with the marriage, and he has been involved with other men in private. If they really get married, why don't they give Mu Jinxuan a cuckold?

If this is the case, maybe it was his reward for cuckolding a certain county king back then.

Not only did the old emperor hate Yan Zhifu's misfortune, but in Yan Shilang's house, Mrs. Yan's eyes were swollen from crying, and she was also cursing Yan Zhifu, a little goblin, for causing her son a lot of harm. It's a good marriage, but I was confused by that woman, and I wanted to marry her to come in. Well, the marriage over there was not good, but this woman turned around and hooked up with the little prince of the Zhenbei Palace, and she still hangs her son like this , finally caused a disaster.

"Master, you must save Song'er. Song'er is my lifeblood. If something happens to him, I can't live anymore."

Yan Shilang was already anxious, and his head hurt even more when his wife cried: "Cry! I know how to cry! I said at the beginning that I don't want to follow his wishes. What did you say? This son was spoiled by your wife." !"

"What do you mean? Why did I spoil Song'er? Why don't you teach him?" Mrs. Yan is not easy to provoke, she followed Yan Shilang seriously, "Is my son born alone? Let me tell you, Song If something happens, I will never end with you!"

Yan Shilang was afraid of this tigress, so he had to soften his tone, but he also knew that if Mu Jinxuan was really the emperor's exiled prince and won the sacred heart, then his son would probably be in trouble.

The Marquis of Yongchang is not much better than them. Because of the marriage granted by the Holy Majesty, Yan Zhifu was very prestigious in the Marquis of Yongchang, even the Marquis of Yongchang and Mrs. Hou would support her, even Yan Ziming, a person with a foreign surname, was treated in the Marquis. He also improved a lot, but when he wanted to turn around, he caused a disaster. When he learned the cause and effect of the whole incident, Marquis Yongchang's legs trembled on the spot.

"It's bad, it's bad, Yan Zhifu, that girl, harmed my Hou Mansion, how can it be good now?"

Mrs. Hou, who was flattering Yan Zhifu a moment ago, now changed her face again, gnashing her teeth and said: "Back then, I shouldn't have listened to my younger siblings and let them live in the Hou Mansion. That girl is a villain, Lord Hou, Before His Majesty inquires about the crime, expel the two brothers and sisters from the Marquis Mansion, and separate the family with the second younger brother, since the only ones who are related are the younger brothers and sisters."

"Is this...really okay?" Lord Hou hesitated.

"Why not? Their surname is Yan and ours is not Yan." Mrs. Hou just wanted to minimize the loss, and hoped that the Holy Majesty would not even sit in the Hou Mansion.

"I'm afraid that the second brother and younger siblings will not agree."

"Let's not let them!"

Hou Ye and his wife were planning to divide the family. On the other side, Yan Ziming went to see his aunt.

Since the incident happened, he has not been able to sleep well. He has lost weight visibly with the naked eye, and his eyes are black and blue, as if he had suffered a serious illness. He regrets it very much. He should not have believed Tao Yuzhu's evil tricks back then. She replaced her elder sister, thinking that having her elder sister to take care of him would save him from trouble, but she never expected that Tao Yuzhu would cause even greater trouble, which could ruin the entire Yan family.
