emperor of a dynasty

The latter looked like a formidable enemy, and murmured, "That's His Royal Highness the Princess...it's the Princess."

The butler said in his heart, it is true that it is the princess, but it is also your daughter-in-law, my lord.

No matter how the housekeeper thinks that the adults in his family are stupid when they are excited about getting married, or think that the adults in his family are not "tired" and become fools last night, in short, this marriage is considered complete. Watch out, there is no going back.

Having said that, this marriage is still very beneficial to Gu Ming. If nothing else, let's talk about the marriage leave. He thought it was a marriage with a member of the royal family, so the original ten-day marriage leave was increased to one month. , rewarded her with a lot of good things, but before the people in Gu Ming's mansion could be happy, Murong Xun issued another order, this time it was about Gu Ming's job change, everyone thought that Gu Ming would definitely It is normal for everyone to think that she will be above the third rank, or lead the military power of one party. First, Gu Ming did make great contributions in the Bashu battle. Second, what happened to her after she married Murong Xi? Said that she is also a member of the royal family, it is impossible for Murong Yan not to be promoted to her official position.

...But these people really thought too much. It is true that Murong Xun was promoted to her official position, but she was named You Shuchang, and her original position in the army was sacked. We are all confused.Why are you confused?Because the position of the right concubine is very interesting. One interesting thing is that the person who holds this position must be a royal minister. In other words, although Gu Ming married Murong Xi as his wife, she is not "Murong" after all. She can only be regarded as a half-royal, but Murong Yan put her in this position, which means that no matter in the eyes of outsiders, she is a half-royal or a "little adult" with a wife's status. In the heart of the current king, Murong Yan, she has already leaped through the dragon's gate by name and is a member of the Murong clan, which also made the individual spirits in the court some thoughts.

The second is that although the right concubine is the tenth rank of military merit title, he has no real power. The only thing he has is the benefit of "exemption from military service".Therefore, Gu Ming's first promotion order after marriage was a secret surrender. Although she was only a "little general" who led a hundred people in the army before, she had the power in her hands after all, and now she has become a right concubine. Chang... said that Murong Yan didn't deliberately punish her, those ministers really couldn't think of any other reason, but it could be said that Murong Yan did it to manipulate Gu Ming, right? She also explained to everyone in disguise that Gu Ming was already Murong Shi.

... It's really hard to guess what the king is thinking, everyone just sighed in the end.

The news about Gu Ming's promotion this time has already spread widely. Even Murong Xi, who never goes out, has heard about it. Like outsiders, she doesn't understand what the king means, so she wants to ask Gu Ming, but the latter saw her as if he saw some respected elder. He knelt down and saluted her as "Your Highness" when he met her. It's not a good question, I can only worry in my heart.

Gu Ming, on the other hand, has a big heart. He didn't say a word of complaint, and even showed a hint of happiness when there was no one around... After the transfer order was issued, he went to the army to hand over early in the morning, for fear that Murong Xun would go back on his word. Seemingly, she officially took over the position of You Shuchang when she came back—then she stayed in the mansion for more than a month—because this position does not require her to go to the government office, so she can relax in the mansion with peace of mind , it was not until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accompanied the army to the east to oversee the work that Gu Ming was reactivated by Murong Xun.

When it comes to the Prince's going to the east to oversee work, we have to mention another family in the royal capital: the Jian family.

To say that the Jian family is an aristocratic family is actually an understatement. Normally, the Jian family should be a branch of the royal family, but the family rules of the Jian family are strict, and there are only four queens and two emperors in the family. In the royal family, the children of the family are not allowed to use power for personal gain and bully others.

The head of the Jian family of this generation is Jian Shu, who has two sons and a daughter, the youngest daughter died young, the eldest son Jian Jian, and the second son Jian Zhi.

Since the Jian family was injured in the generation of King Qin Cheng, the Jian family withdrew from the political center and turned to business. During the period of King Qin Xun, the Jian family’s economic influence in the entire Central Plains was unstoppable. Originally, the current relationship between the Jian family and the Qin royal family This time, the fact that Mu Congcong went to the eastern border to supervise the work was irrelevant to Jian's family, but the accident happened at the dinner party during the New Year's Eve.

At that dinner party, Murong Fan, the heir son of the Marquis of Ding'an, introduced Mu Congcong to Jian Zhi, the second son of the Jian family. The man who is three years older than her is very fond of him.This is true. Although the influence of the Jian family in the court has long since declined, their profound background and wealth are still shocking. In such a family, Jian became famous just after the twelfth crown. Although Wang Du is not as graceful as his elder brother Jian Jian, he is also a rare "Shao Lang Jun".On the other hand, Mu Congcong, although she is the daughter of the former crown prince, but because of the unembarrassing relationship between the former king and his uncle's family, Mu Congcong has been unhappy for a long time, even sometimes It’s not as good as the children of the other clans of the royal family. Later, the first king and the prince died in battle, and the youngest daughter of the previous king, Murong Xun, succeeded to the throne. Murong’s status was even more embarrassing. The shadow left by time is not so easy to forget, so that she is still a little timid in the world as a ten-year-old boy.

Jian Jian is a very good partner, because of his family background, he doesn't have to flatter Mu Congcong, and he doesn't have to ignore Mu Congcong, but treats her with a normal attitude, which makes Mu Congcong feel very uncomfortable when he has a playmate for the first time It is novelty, and there is a little bit of confusion in the novelty.After chatting with Jian Zhi a few times, time soon approached the day when Mu Congcong went to the East Territory. Mu CongCong didn't plan to tell Jian Zhi at first, but Murong Fan accidentally slipped his mouth during a small gathering and learned about it. On the second day after that, Jian Zhi took the name card and went to the East Palace. Mu Cong was shocked when he received the name card. He didn't know what the purpose of Jian Zhi's coming here, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he had to leave the mansion quickly Welcome.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, Mu Congcong was relieved to see that there was only Jian alone with the attendant, "Jane Zhi?" Mu Congcong stepped forward and called out to the blue-clothed boy who was standing outside the gate, and the latter turned back and smiled. , "Your Highness."

This is the first time that Jian Zhi called Mu Congcong "His Royal Highness". In the past, the two of them used their first names directly, and they had never been so cautious. Just as Mu Congzhi wanted to stop him, he suddenly remembered that he was at the gate of the East Palace, where there were too many eyes. Chaos, the prince must not take the lead to break the rules, presumably it is because of this consideration that Jian Zhi is so polite. Thinking of this, Mu Congcong thinks more of Jian Zhi, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't. Looking closely at Mu Congcong, he couldn't turn his eyes back. He saw the young man in blue, with black hair and red lips, clear eyebrows and eyes, standing there quietly like that, giving off a sense of alienation, but when talking to her, he was still The gentleness is outrageous, which really moved the girl's heart.

"I heard that you will travel far away?"

Murong Muna nodded, and after thinking about it, he realized that it was his uncle Murong Fan who said it, and he felt a little guilty that he didn't tell the other party personally.

"Return to its geometry?"

"It's not known yet." Mu Congcong didn't lie to him, and she herself didn't know when she would be able to come back... Probably when she could be alone, thinking about Mu Congcong made her feel even more guilty.

Hearing this, Jian Zhi's expression seemed a bit regretful and disappointed, but before Mu Congcong could see it clearly, Jian Zhi disappeared and smiled again, "Caomin came so abruptly, His Highness laughed." He bowed to her and made a bow.

In fact, Mu Congcong is not used to Jian Zhi treating her like this, no, he is not used to such a noble young man like Jian Zhi bending over and lowering his eyebrows like this, but it's the same bowing, and Jian Zhi's bowing is to be more beautiful and chic than others , behaviors are all self-contained, which makes Mu Congcong feel a sense of reluctance.

Just as he was thinking about it, the servant behind Jian Zhi stepped forward, holding a wooden box in both hands and stood beside Jian Zhi, lowering his eyebrows and saying softly, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Free of courtesy and flat body." This little servant has seen the container before.

Jian Zhi raised his hand to take the square box from the young man's hand, handed it to Mu Congcong, and said, "Yi Fan knew that His Highness had traveled a long way before, and he still had state affairs to deal with, so he didn't dare to say anything out of the city, so he came here abruptly. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Mu Congcong wanted to say that this is unnecessary, but before he could say it, he heard Jian Zhidao again, "This is Yifan's wish. I am away from home. Please take care of yourself." Handed it over, Mu Congcong had no choice but to take it under the watchful eyes of everyone. He didn't know what was in the box, and it was a bit heavy. Mu Congcong looked down, and when he looked up, he found that Jian Jian's eyes were a little brighter than usual.

"Jane...?" She wanted to ask what was in the box, and she was a little impatient.

"This is a gold silk armor, light and close to the body, and the eastern border is complicated. Your Highness can use it to defend himself."

If Mu Congcong heard these words ten years later, he would surely understand how precious and affectionate the gift Jian Jian gave her, but Mu Congcong, who is only ten years old now, only exclaimed after hearing these words, " Gold silk armor?! The legendary gold silk armor that can protect against all weapons in the world? How do you have it?!"

"Your Highness is knowledgeable," Jian Zhi said softly, "This is a gift from an old friend of my father when he was young, and it has been useless in the mansion for many years."

"It's so precious, so I can't accept it." After saying that, Mu Container wanted to return it to him.

"Give it to someone useful before it can be used as a living thing. Your Highness returns it to me. If I don't need it, it can only eat ashes in the mansion."

"This..." Mu Congcong showed hesitation.

Jian Zhi said again, "Your Highness, keep it, Cao Min has something to ask His Highness."

When Mu Congcong heard this, he felt a heavy responsibility, and hurriedly said, "Yifan, please tell me."

"The people of the grass heard that there is a flower in the eastern border. Its taste is like orchid, its color is like a chrysanthemum, and its shape is like a vine. The name is: Jieyu, which grows on the water's edge. If your highness can see it, it will be clear. I hope to pick one or two in return." The young man's eyes were tender and tender, and his voice and expression were inexplicably similar to that important minister in the court. Mu Congcong's heart moved, and he replied, "Okay, I... this palace agrees with you."

Hearing this, Jian Zhi nodded in satisfaction, submitted her resignation without waiting for Mu Congcong to stay, and left with the servant, leaving Mu Congcong holding the box of square wood at the gate of the mansion alone, with a confused and troubled look on her face, as if she wanted to arrest him. What to live for, but that thought flashed again, which made her miserable, and finally turned around and went back to the mansion.
