The lion dancers stopped, the musicians stopped, and the welcoming ones in the aisles were silent. Everyone in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the emperor with some fear.

This was the first time they felt the wrath of the Son of Heaven, and although they had only punished one Yecheng City Lord, it sent chills down their spines.

The city lord was quickly dragged down, and the punishment was like a small episode.

Pity the people of Yecheng, in order to welcome the arrival of the emperor and his party, they rehearsed for a long time.

The emperor got back into the carriage, and the procession headed towards the city.

But halfway through, the emperor got out of the carriage again. There are many guards around him, both openly and secretly, all of which are carefully selected by Mu Ze, plus there are several princes in charge, so there is no need to worry about assassination.

And this Yecheng must also be under martial law these days, if the emperor really has any accident here, then the life of the city lord of Yecheng, don't want to save it, if you are unlucky, maybe many people will be implicated.

The emperor got out of the carriage, and the accompanying officials and several princes naturally couldn't sit anymore, so they also got out of the carriage one after another.

The princes walked behind the emperor, and behind them were officials. Yuan Jinyu, as Mu Ze's little maidservant, changed her appearance into an inconspicuous appearance, so standing behind Mu Ze, no one noticed her.

And Yuan Jinyu found out that Mu Que was not in this line. Stretched out his hand and tugged at Mu Ze's sleeve, and when he looked over, Yuan Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Where is King Duan?"

Mu Ze obviously knew about Mu Que's departure for a long time, and he also turned his body a little to the side, explaining: "He left one step ahead of us, and the emperor sent him to those cities along the way." ”

Yuan Jinyu was secretly lined with a pioneer. But this is much better than staying in Yecheng and watching these officials be vain and wronged, how can such a good thing not fall on Mu Ze's head?

But come to think of it, Mu Ze's martial arts are strong, and he must be placed by the emperor's side for personal protection, so that everyone can rest assured.

If he wanted to go first, he might have been stopped by an official who was kneeling down before he could get out of the gate.

Although the people were not so warmly welcomed, they still knelt down the whole street.

Yuan Jinyu watched them move so neatly, and muttered to Mu Ze: "These people may have rehearsed many times in advance." ”

Mu Ze smiled and didn't reply. But he didn't accept it, it was the emperor's intention, and he couldn't question his decision.

The emperor waved his hand and made those people calm down with great momentum. Then he slowly walked to the side of an old woman on the side of the street, leaned down slightly and asked, "What is this lady doing in Yecheng?"

The old woman was dressed plainly, but neatly, and her hair was gray, and she could tell that she was old. She obviously didn't expect the emperor to come and ask her, at this moment, those guards had separated the others around her far away, and only the emperor and the old man were left in the middle.

The expression on the emperor's face was quite kind, but the old man was still so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

After being excited for a long time, he calmed down and said, "The folk woman is a ...... who sells chaos in Yecheng."

"It turned out to be a small business. The emperor smiled: "What about the time when you sell chaos? Are there any ruffians and hooligans who come to bully the people? Are there any officials and rich businessmen who take advantage of you?"

The old man replied tremblingly, "If you go back to the emperor...... When the folk woman sells Chaos, she is always very good, no matter who comes, she will give money when she eats well......"

The emperor nodded, obviously satisfied with this answer, but did not communicate with the woman again, but just picked a few other people at random and asked almost the same questions.

Yuan Jinyu listened all the way down, and found that what the old lady said at the beginning was still the most pertinent, and the people who asked later couldn't wait to praise Yecheng to the sky, and there was a farmer who said that those things in the fields, and the big Yuan Jinyu had never heard of them.

There are also those who praise the parents and officials of Yecheng City, saying that they are sympathetic to the people and honest and honest.

Yuan Jinyu just smiled in his heart, his eyes slightly disdainful.

She didn't believe that the people in this city were so peaceful and happy, and the officials were so clean. Otherwise, how could so many people fall in the previous life?

This Jiangnan has not been disciplined for too long, and the officials even think that they can be opportunistic, and no one can find out what is wrong with it.

That Mu Que can pick up a bargain, look at it, if he takes the first step, many officials will find him and try to win him over.

Now that the situation is undecided, this Jiangnan is a very huge help, if it is co-opted, it can be said that it has secured one-third of the Great Zhou.

So how will Mu Que choose? Yuan Jinyu was a little looking forward to it.

finally walked to the city lord's mansion, and someone arranged for the emperor to stay, and then the maid came to receive Mu Ze and his party.

Yecheng is not the kind of super city, there is no palace, but the scenery of the city lord's mansion is really good.

Walking behind Mu Ze, she observed the surrounding scenery, and always felt as if something was missing.

When he entered the house and dismissed the maid, Yuan Jinyu clapped his hands violently and suddenly realized: "I know that something is missing." ”

"Are you talking about the ornaments on the carved beams, and the things that were originally used as decorations?" asked Mu Ze.

Yuan Jinyu smiled at Mu Ze, thinking that he was more observant. When she first walked over, she felt a little disobedient, because although the scenery of this city lord's mansion was good, it gave people a shabby feeling.

And the furnishings in many places obviously destroy the beauty. It's like putting some valuable treasures together with something like a carved stone, and now the carved stone is still there, but those valuable things have been removed.

The same is true of the carved beams, which are clearly inlaid with precious stones in many places, and now only hollow grooves remain.

Yuan Jinyu sat down at the table, Ginkgo poured her a cup of tea, Yuan Jinyu didn't drink it in his hand, but looked into the distance through the window with some playfulness: "This city lord doesn't know what to think, if he picks off those things, can he cover up the fact that they once existed." This kind of thing, even we can't fool it, how can we fool the emperor?"

Just like when the people replied just now, the emperor was very happy on the surface, but he couldn't tell what he thought in his heart, after all, he didn't like to deceive himself.

Mu Ze didn't mind too much about how the emperor would deal with these things, even if he really wanted to punish the crime, it wouldn't be now.

They will stay in Yecheng for one night, and then go on the road tomorrow, now it is not too early, the city lord is preparing to set up a banquet, Mu Ze saw that Yuan Jinyu has been on the boat for the past few days, although he is not seasick, but he is also very guilty.

walked to her side, slowly leaned down, gently pressed his forehead on her forehead, felt it, and sure enough, he found that Yuan Jinyu had a low-grade fever.

asked Ginkgo to find the people in the mansion and decocted some medicine for Yuan Jinyu, and then Mu Zecai advised: "You don't have to attend the dinner, just go alone." ”

Yuan Jinyu nodded, she also felt that her body was a little cowardly, and she had to rest early so that she would not delay tomorrow's trip.

Mu Ze carried her to the bed, and before leaving, he returned: "Hurry tomorrow, you can go to Luoyang the day after tomorrow, and then this king will accompany you to see the peony." ”

Yuan Jinyu smiled at Mu Ze, although he was not sleepy, he thought that he would have to hurry tomorrow, so he wanted to rest early.

So she said to Mu Ze slightly apologetically: "Brother Jiu, I won't wait for you to come back and sleep again." You don't drink too much alcohol at night. ”

Yuan Jinyu is now lying on the bed, her body is thin and small, and after covering the quilt, she reveals a small head, and her whole body looks like she is buried by the quilt.

Even if it is now easy to look like a very delicate face, but the temperament is as tranquil as before.

Now she is a little like when they first met, Yuan Jinyu was trying to pretend to be a gentle and virtuous girl in order to get close to him. In fact, her real temperament is not so calm and peaceful at all.

Mu Ze suddenly showed a nostalgic smile, because no matter what kind of Yuan Jinyu it was, he liked it very much.

Yuan Jinyu also smiled at Mu Ze, but when he heard someone's next sentence, he turned around and ignored him.

Because someone said to her: "It doesn't matter if you drink too much, this king doesn't play drunk." ”

Yuan Jinyu snorted coldly in her heart, didn't she just laugh at her for drinking too little? Isn't it just laughing at her for breaking up when she drinks too much? Can you still be a good husband and wife, and it's interesting to always expose her scars!

Mu Ze saw that Yuan Jinyu was playing petty again, and couldn't help laughing twice: "When the medicine is boiled for a while, remember to drink it while it's hot, rest early, and don't wait for this king." ”

Yuan Jinyu twisted his body and muttered: "Who is going to wait for you, you are beautiful." ”

Mu Ze leaned over and kissed her lightly on the top of her head before turning to leave.

There was a banquet in the front yard, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Jinyu, and soon the medicine of the ginkgo biloba was boiled, and after Yuan Jinyu drank it, he only felt that his mouth was very bitter.

I closed my eyes and prepared to rest, but I was dazed and never slept well. She knew that it was because Mu Ze was not by her side.

Since southern Xinjiang, they have always lived together, although they really became husband and wife, it was still on the night of the marriage ceremony.

In the capital, those princes all have concubines, and they sleep in separate rooms with the princess. There is only Mu Ze, not to mention the concubine room, there is no maid, Yuan Jinyu has been resting in their new house since she got married.

After that, although she toured south, Mu Ze also hugged her every night, making her feel safe on the boat.

Although he knew that Mu Ze would not come back too late, Yuan Jinyu was still a little unhappy at this time.

Finally, when she was extremely anxious, Mu Ze came back.

He should have finished washing, his hair was half-dry, with the fresh smell of honey locust on his body, and the smell of willow leaves in his mouth, obviously worried that Yuan Jinyu would dislike the wine on his body.
