Mu Jingnan nodded, and suddenly said seriously: "Since I misunderstood because of a slip of the tongue, then I will definitely punish the culprit." He emphasized the word 'mouth' very hard and continued, "Besides, even if Mrs.
I don’t care about my husband’s beauty, but I am... salivating over my wife’s beauty!”
"..." After hearing this, Yun Yan raised her beautiful eyebrows and glared at the person in front of her. Looking at his handsome face that was gradually coming closer, she unconsciously felt a strange atmosphere. She subconsciously thought
To retreat.
However, someone seemed to have anticipated her actions, and hugged her early. He chuckled: "Yan'er is shy again?"
Between a dilemma and a dilemma, Yun Yan raised her eyebrows and looked up at the man beside her. The narrow smile in his eyes became more and more obvious. Is he making fun of her again? However, she didn't know what was wrong with her. Every time
This is the case once and for all, let him play tricks on you.
"Stop making trouble." Yun Yan pulled Mu Jingnan's lapel and said in a deep voice. This is fine with him. This is in the palace! However, thinking of this, she felt helpless. It seemed that she was used to it.
Got rid of his slight mischievousness.
Mu Jingnan smiled warmly and ignored his words. He leaned forward and kissed her gently on her brow, softly and softly.
The warm breath came towards him, and the center of his brows felt even warmer. Yun Yan felt a trance for a while, and closed his eyes unconsciously. He only felt his breath and his warmth lingering on his brows for a long time.
"You know? Previously, I actually had a moment of worry in my heart. I was afraid that Yan Lingxiao would want you. Although I knew that he would not succeed, I always felt that it would be a potential threat that would make it possible for me.
Losing you, even if the possibility is very small." Mu Jingnan hugged Yunyan and whispered in her ear, a trace of melancholy flashed across his handsome face, "As I told you before, recently,
I don’t know why, but I always feel uneasy. I feel uneasy whenever you are not around, as if you might not be there at any time.”
Yes, he said before that she thought the hesitation in his heart had disappeared, but she didn't want to still be there. Nestling in his arms, Yunyan's eyes felt hot. At that time, at the birthday banquet, he held her hand.
Power, as if he was afraid that she would disappear. Yes, he was right, she would disappear one day. She knew that she had brought a burden to him. But how did she want her to tell him the truth?
Yun Yan pursed her lips, let out a sob, and forced a smile to herself: "It's useless to say these nice words, there won't be any reward."
As if he noticed a change in Yun Yan's mood, Mu Jingnan let go of her and raised his hand to gently brush away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "If you cry, does that mean you are moved? But if you cry because you are moved,
I would rather not be moved by you."
"Who told you that I cried? It's just that the wind is strong and my eyes are uncomfortable." Yunyan turned away. She could bear the pain alone. Didn't she already make up her mind?
Now, there is still time, wouldn't it be great to fulfill his wish for him?
With a low laugh, Mu Jingnan just thought that Yun Yan was embarrassed and he didn't want to tease her anymore, "Let's go to Concubine Rou's palace and have a look. We should go back after that."
Yun Yan nodded and followed Mu Jingnan. Her clear eyes were deep and cold at the moment. Looking at the dark night and the road ahead, she really wished it could be longer and let her walk with him longer.
Royal Garden
Not long after Mu Jingnan and Yun Yan left, Mu Yangtian, the Queen and Queen Mother Gao also left one after another, leaving the entire banquet in the hands of Mu Qingyuan.
Because of the emperor's departure, the officials below became more relaxed and congratulated Yan Lingxiao one by one, congratulating him on becoming the Prince Consort of East Vietnam and on the new emperor's enthronement.
Yan Lingxiao responded with a smile, the wine glass in her hand was refilled from time to time, and she had a great time chatting with the ministers.
On the other hand, Mu Jingnan, the fourth prince who attracted the emperor's attention in everyone's eyes, was forgotten at this moment. Although he was dissatisfied, it was not convenient for him to show up at this moment. Looking at the man opposite who was still drinking alone, there was something in his eyes.
Sighing slightly, he walked over.
"Second brother, why are you drinking alone here?" Mu Qingyuan took the wine glass and walked to the seat where Mu Jingnan was sitting, and glanced at the man next to him who was wearing a brocade robe with dazzling patterns.
Mu Kexiang looked forward, his hands moving unabated, and he said calmly: "I always like to drink alone, why should I talk about drinking alone?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan was not angry. He looked at Mu Kexiang and said with a smile: "Whether it's a drunken drink or not, how about letting me and my second brother have a few drinks?"
Tilting his head, Mu Kexiang's resolute face was expressionless, but a glimmer of light flashed in his sharp eyes, "Didn't I make it very clear just now? I always like to drink alone."
Did he dislike him for getting in the way? Mu Qingyuan's originally smiling face froze instantly. He looked at Mu Kexiang, who still looked cold and drank to himself.
"Second brother has really maintained his grace in the frontier these years. His momentum is even better than before." Mu Qingyuan frowned and spoke in a low voice.
Glancing at Mu Qingyuan, Mu Kexiang said indifferently: "Aren't you the same?"
Mu Qingyuan's eyes darkened, "It seems that the second brother wants to fight with me to the end this time?" He looked at the man beside him with cold eyes. In the past, who among them would have dared to talk to him like this? Mu Jing
Nan, he, who is not obedient to him? It was like this in the past, so it must be like this even more now!
Looking at Mu Qingyuan's serious look, a smile suddenly appeared on Mu Kexiang's resolute face, and there was a slight sarcasm in his mellow voice, "Fight? Do you think there is a reason for us to fight?"
"Yes, you understand in your heart!" Mu Qingyuan said in a low voice, "Today I have spoken out. If the second brother is willing, you will still be my good second brother, and I will not treat you badly in the future. If not...
..." At this point, his voice paused, but before he could speak again, the man beside him had already spoken first.
"If not, kill me?! Then I hope you can take action earlier!" Mu Kexiang's thick eyebrows slightly raised, a look of awe flashed in his eyes, "I am tired, so take the first step.
"As he spoke, he stood up, ignored the people sitting next to him, and left.
With a "bang" sound, Mu Qingyuan placed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table. His handsome face was clouded. He gritted his teeth and refused to drink as a penalty! Huh, did he really think he didn't dare to touch him?
?
Not far away, Yan Lingxiao, who was chatting enthusiastically with officials, glanced over here. A trace of uncanny flashed across his handsome face. He said a few words to the officials beside him and walked straight over.
"What's wrong with the Fourth Prince? He seems to be in a bad mood?" Yan Lingxiao sat directly next to Mu Qingyuan and said with a smile, "I haven't had a drink with you tonight, how about we have a few drinks?"
Drinking? What made him most unhappy tonight was drinking! Mu Qingyuan turned his head and looked at Yan Lingxiao, sneering, "I'm afraid not everyone can drink the wine offered by Emperor Nan Yao. There are still many things going on over there.
If you have to deal with it, I will take the first step, Emperor Nan Yao, please help yourself." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, stood up and left.
Looking at the man with an angry face, his back seemed to be on fire. Yan Lingxiao took a sip of wine and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She was not angry because Mu Qingyuan refuted his face. He was as deep as the sea.
Something seemed to be brewing in his eyes.
After a long time, he said coldly, "I believe you will beg me soon!" Moreover, he was not the only one who was right.
Rouyi Palace
"Concubine, concubine, are you okay? Don't scare me." A hurried female voice came from inside.
In the inner hall, Concubine Rou was lying quietly on the couch. She opened her eyes and looked up at the sky, her eyes dull and lifeless.
Beside the couch, a woman in pink palace clothes was sitting there on her knees. She grabbed Concubine Rou's hand and said urgently: "Concubine, tell me, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
However, Concubine Rou seemed not to hear and continued to remain silent.
On the side, Mu Xuening sighed softly. The imperial doctor had just come to see her, but he just said that Concubine Rou was suffering from anxiety and it was not a problem. However, she had not said a word since she came back from the Royal Garden, fearing that she had a heart problem.
"Concubine, please don't scare Zhaoyang. Can you talk to Zhaoyang? Wuwu..." Mu Zhaoyang shook Concubine Rou's hand and cried.
Seemingly because of Mu Zhaoyang's tears, Concubine Rou turned her head and looked at her, with tears welling up in her eyes. Her voice was gloomy, "If you still think of me as your mother-in-law, you won't do that."
It makes me so angry."
"Mother Concubine..." Mu Zhaoyang stopped crying and looked at Concubine Rou in surprise.
Concubine Rou shook her head slightly and looked up, "These years in the deep palace, the deep palace is so treacherous that even a small ordinary step makes me feel like walking on thin ice. But I have never been competitive with others. I tolerate everything.
What is it? Isn’t it just to make the Queen Mother drop her guard against us? Isn’t it just to help you point out a good family when you leave the cabinet in the future? I don’t ask you to be noble and unparalleled, as long as you are happy and happy, but what about you?
, you actually want to marry to Nanyao Kingdom, and you are in a deep palace, how can you make me feel so embarrassed?!" When she said this, tears welled up in her eyes, and all the bitterness of these years came to mind.
"Concubine Mother..." Mu Zhaoyang looked at Concubine Rou blankly. She had never considered this. Concubine Mother never fought with others in the palace. She only thought that Concubine Mother was soft-tempered. It turned out that she was all
For her sake, "I'm sorry." She gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
On the side, Mu Xuening stepped forward to persuade and said: "Okay, Zhaoyang has admitted his mistake. Let's talk about these things tomorrow. Concubine Rou, you are also tired. It would be better to rest earlier. As for the emperor brother, I will
Go and beg him to cancel the marriage!"
Glancing at Mu Xuening gratefully, Concubine Rou had a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, eldest princess."
"We are all sisters. You are being foreign when you talk like this." Mu Xuening smiled and said.
At this moment, Mu Zhaoyang suddenly stood up, glanced at Mu Xuening, and then his eyes fell on Concubine Rou again, with a look of determination on his face, "No, I don't want to cancel this marriage.
