The southern part of Kaifeng Imperial City is a slum area. Due to the invasion of the Mongolian army many years ago, most of the people who fled from the north came to Kaifeng Mansion. For a time, the population of Kaifeng City exceeded one million, and these refugees lived there.

Nancheng makes the entire Nancheng of Kaifeng overcrowded.

When the Mongolian army retreated, some people left Kaifeng and returned to their hometown. After all, it is hard to leave their homeland. No matter what it looks like, it is still their own place. As long as you sow seeds in the ground and work hard, you can always harvest some food to satisfy your hunger.

That's enough.

This is the simplest thought of ordinary people, just to live.

However, some people still stayed. They heard about the tragic situation in the north and did not want to go back. No one knew when the Mongols would come again. Didn't even the emperor go to Kaifeng? They thought they were still in Kaifeng.

Be more stable, at least my family will not be killed by the Mongols again. These refugees are looking for work everywhere in order to make a living. They are willing to do any dirty work. They live as humble as ants. They just want to live in this huge city.

There is a place in the imperial city where the family can survive.

Every noon, they would put down their work and take their family to a yard next to the market in the south of the city to wait in line, because at this time someone would give out free food, although the food given out was only enough to barely maintain the body's needs.

, but it is already a great gift to them.

The refugees don't know which kind-hearted gentleman is giving alms. They only know that they don't have to worry about being harassed by local bullies. As long as they line up according to order, they can always get food. Once, some local bullies came to cause trouble and wanted to steal their food.

At that time, someone came out and drove away the gangster, and no one saw the gangster again.

If you are a local in Nancheng, Kaifeng, you may vaguely remember the big raid that took place in Nancheng a few years ago. You may remember that a father and daughter once lived in this courtyard. You may remember that well-behaved and sensible girl.

This is the courtyard where Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci lived.

In the yard, Mu Nianci is leading people to arrange food for today. The refugees will be here soon. These people are from the palace. They are here to help voluntarily. There is no other way. Who will let this girl in the future?

She will become her own master and queen in the palace.

After the massacre in Zhongdu Imperial City, the Dazong Zhengfu existed in name only and became a puppet that His Majesty the Emperor could control. The ministers were also trembling with fear. No one mentioned the post-election matters again, but some smart ministers

There were clues that the girl who often appeared next to the emperor might be the candidate for the future queen. The people in the palace were discerning and had already seen the unusual relationship between this nominal maid and His Majesty the emperor, so they asked

The future master became even more respectful.

Mu Nianci didn't feel too much. She treated these palace people equally. Anyway, these people were idle in the palace. There were not many people in the palace who needed to be served. It was better to come here to help. It would be better to find outsiders.

It's inconvenient. While the palace people were busy, a figure walked into the courtyard. The sharp-eyed palace people hurriedly knelt down on the ground. The other palace people also immediately knelt down, and the courtyard was in chaos for a while.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Nian Ci's angry eyes and had no choice but to show a helpless expression. This is the case in this era. The imperial power is the most powerful. His Majesty the Emperor can decide the life and death of these palace people with just one word. How dare the palace people dare to be so disrespectful and presumptuous? Wait until the palace people continue to be busy.

, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci had space to be alone together.

"Why are you here?" the girl asked strangely.

"It's nothing. It's boring in the palace, so I came out to accompany you." His Majesty the Emperor said softly.

This answer made the girl reveal a sweet smile. When she was in Junshan a few years ago, because of Huang Yaoshi's words, the girl thought about whether she or the imperial power was more important in A Kang's mind. Later, after Xiao Huang Rong's explanation, the girl

I felt relieved, and when I saw Akang put aside his court affairs and come to accompany her, my heart was naturally filled with sweetness. She was a girl who was easily satisfied.

Before the refugees arrived, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci walked out of the yard, walked on the streets of Nancheng, and wandered around the market. Since Yang Kang became emperor, it had been a long time since they had such a relaxed and comfortable stroll in the slum market.

The streets are narrow, crowded, and smelly, but no one recognizes them here.

Those traders would not know that the girl who just bought cheap pearl flowers from them was the future Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, and that the young man who was helping to bargain with the price was the current Emperor. They had never thought about it in their lives.

I will meet with His Majesty the Emperor, who is above me.

Of course, Yang Kang didn't really come here to go shopping. He just wanted to spend more time with Mu Nianci. Since he made the plan to go to Mobei to assassinate Temujin, he first went to Baoying to visit Bao Xiruo.

, spent a relatively happy New Year with Bao Xiruo, and came to accompany Mu Nianci at this time. The purpose of doing all this is because he is not sure about this trip to Mobei.

This is the same as when he ventured into the Imperial City of Zhongdu two years ago. This is another huge gamble using his life as a bargaining chip. If he wins, he will be the whole world. If he loses, he will be buried in Mobei. He can also choose not to take the risk, but

Slowly develop and see how the Jin Kingdom's national destiny is, but he is not willing to accept it.

Just like a gambler, how can you know whether you win or lose if you don't try?

This is the difference between His Majesty the Emperor and Yelu Chucai. Yelu Chucai is good at Go and wants to gradually weaken the Jin Kingdom through planning, and finally surround it and defeat the dragon. His Majesty the Emperor plays chess.

He wanted to take the general directly and give the opponent a fatal blow.

Both master and disciple are playing chess using the whole world as a chessboard, but they are not playing the same kind of chess.

Before that, His Majesty the Emperor had to prepare for the worst. Bao Xiruo did not need to worry about him at the moment. Only Mu Nianci was left. He entrusted Mu Nianci to Xiao Huang Rong, or Huang Yaoshi. I believe Dong

Xie would not ignore it for Hong Qigong's sake. Of course, Peach Blossom Island was the last refuge. Mu Nianci could also go to Baoying and live with Bao Xiruo, as long as she did not avenge him.

Mu Nianci will not know about his trip to Mobei. Once the news comes that he has died, someone will give Mu Nianci a letter written by him. However, this is an arrangement for a few months.

His Majesty's mission was to laugh and laugh with this girl. After all, there were not many days like this.
