The streets of the capital of Chongjingguo are lined with shops, and the afterglow of the twilight sun is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles or the magnificent pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy light to the prosperous imperial capital city in front of you.

The crowd walked bustlingly, and behind them were faces that were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated.

The carriages and horses are like clouds, the flow of people is like weaving, not far away there is a faint penetrating shouting of the vendors, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses, so lively!

The houses on both sides are lined up, with tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.

In addition, there are medical clinics, car repairs, fortune telling, face trimming and plastic surgery, all walks of life, everything, the head of the big store is also tied to the "Cailou Huanmen"

There are businessmen doing business, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members in sedan chairs, tourists from other places who ask for directions, children in the streets and alleys who listen to stories, children of wealthy families who drink in restaurants, disabled old people who beg on the edge of the city, men and women, old and young, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.

Transportation vehicles: sedan chairs, camels, ox and horse carts, rickshaws, Taiping cars, flat-headed cars, all kinds of things.

Painted and vividly displayed in front of people's eyes (this paragraph is not original).

"Woo...... Lord Qiqi, the imperial capital has arrived! ”

The pioneer officer immediately stepped forward and reported, "Wange, you go home first!" ”

Jing Muhui glanced at the woman who was still unconscious lying next to Wan Ge and said, "Oh, good! ”

Jun Wange replied that the coachman got up and left the carriage...... At the gate of the palace, the emperor and the ministers were waiting there early.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"I've seen my father!"

The fourth prince and the seventh prince dismounted and knelt on the ground and said, "Hehehehe, it's good, Jue'er and Hui'er are exempt!" Hui'er lived up to expectations, went out to destroy the enemy, and protected the peace of our country and the people, and since then I have one more arm! Hahahaha......"

The emperor was very happy to hold Jing Muhui's arm and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

The ministers chimed in.

No one noticed that the face of the fourth prince showed a complicated expression, and it was only fleeting and then returned to normal.

In the palace, the emperor held a celebration banquet for this great victory, and the wine pond meat forest was extremely luxurious...... 『Note』: Harem concubine grade: Queen Kunning Palace (her son and the second prince made a mistake and became depressed after death, and stayed in the palace all day long to chant scriptures and recite Buddha, not asking about the world!)

Third Lady (Concubine): Changxin Palace Chongde Xian Concubine (Seven Princes' Grandmother and Concubine, died nine years ago due to illness, was the concubine Zhaoyi during her lifetime, and was posthumously awarded Chongde.

Xianfu Palace Hongde Shufei (four princes and grandmothers) Jianzhang Palace Zhengde Liang Concubine (Princess Hening and the mother of the eldest prince, and the virtuous concubine are like sisters) Nine concubines and concubines (than the three princesses): Yikun Palace Zhaoyi Hui Concubine (three princes and grandmothers) Chuxiu Palace Zhaorong Li Concubine (five princesses and grandmothers) Yuxiu Palace Zhaoyuan Yi Concubine (eight princes and grandmothers) Nine concubines (than six Qing): Yong'an Palace Xiuyi Concubine Jin (six princesses and grandmothers) Yongle Palace Xiurong Roufei (nine princes and grandmothers) Yongfu Palace Chongrong Jade Concubine Yongshou Palace Chongyuan Ning Concubine 27th and eighty-one royal maids.

"I didn't expect that after the seven princes fell ill, people became very different from before, and now they can help the emperor lead troops to fight, the concubines want to congratulate the emperor here, if the sister of the virtuous concubine has a spirit in the sky, she should be gratified! Now that the Seventh Prince is talented, the emperor should not favor one over the other! ”

The fourth prince's mother, Concubine Shugui, said with a half-joking, half-serious smile, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

The emperor replied in a good mood: "Whatever Concubine Ai said, Jue'er, they and Hui'er are my sons, so naturally they will not be treated badly!" ”

"If you want to talk about meritorious deeds, the Seventh Prince is indeed the greatest hero! So how is the emperor going to reward the son of Concubine Xian's sister? ”

Concubine Liang, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at Concubine Shu's faint mouth and said.

When he heard Concubine Xian's name, the emperor's eyes darkened unnaturally.

"Okay, okay, why don't we ask the Seventh Prince what he wants!"

Concubine Rou said in a round game, and the emperor nodded consciously.

"Okay, Jue'er, Hui'er, what do you want to tell your father as a reward?"

The emperor smiled and asked Jing Muhui, who had been sitting silently below.

"Father, the son is only assisting the seventh brother, and he has not made any contributions, so he does not dare to ask for credit. Father, let's reward the seventh brother well! ”

Jing Mujue said respectfully, but his smiling expression always made Jing Muhui feel that he was a little awkward.

From his eyes, Jing Muhui read an indescribable meaning.

However, this is by no means the humility and courtesy he expressed.

Jing Muhui glanced at Jing Mujue, sneered, stretched out his hand, picked up the wine on the table, and drank it all...... "The son does have something that needs the consent of his father!" ”

Jing Muhui put down the wine glass and said slowly, "What's the matter?" Hui'er, but it doesn't hurt to say! ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Erchen wants to select dozens of skilled people in the army to be transferred to the palace to be guards, and these people will be trained by Erchen to protect the safety of Erchen, I don't know what my father thinks?" ”

Jing Muhui looked at the wine glass and said thoughtfully, "What should I do, it's okay, you can go to the barracks tomorrow and pick whatever you want!" ”

The emperor drank some wine and said quite boldly, "Thank you, father! ”

Jing Muhui nodded and thanked him.

Among the ministers below, between the princes, and among all the concubines, they exchanged glances with each other.

I didn't expect Jing Muhui to make such a strange request, and the emperor would treat this seventh prince who was the least important in the past.

The atmosphere at the banquet was a little heavy for a while, Jing Mujue looked at Jing Muhui for a long time, although Concubine Shu looked at this qiē with a smile, but her eyes were full of hatred, she thought: Look at it!

The palace will definitely not let this qiē develop like this, and the throne only belongs to Jue'er.

Concubine Xian, a slut, is dead and still grabs the position of the emperor's heart with the palace, and now her son is trying to fight with Jue'er, and the palace will never allow such a situation to happen!

She looked at Jing Muhui, her hands were unconsciously clenched tightly, and her red nails painted with red were deeply sunk into the flesh, as if bleeding...... "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is now twenty-one, we ignored his family affairs before, is it time to start a family for him?" ”

Concubine Xiang smiled and broke the embarrassment at the banquet and said, "Yes! The Seventh Prince looks like a talent, it's time to think about starting a family! ”

Concubine Ning echoed and said, "Well, Concubine Ai is right, Hui'er should also get married!" ”

The emperor said thoughtfully.

"Erchen doesn't want to start a family yet"

Jing Muhui glared at these women coldly and said, "Hui'er, some of your imperial brothers have already married families, and this matter can't be entrusted anymore!" ”

The emperor said sternly.

"Father, the son really has no plans to start a family now!"

Jing Muhui's calm face looked a little anxious and said.

"Okay, you have to listen to Hui'er! In a few days, I will ask someone to find a few ladies of the royal family to show you! ”

The emperor remembered that he and Concubine Xian looked at Jing Muhui, who was still in infancy, and couldn't help but say happily, Concubine Shu glanced at Jing Muhui and smiled inexplicably and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to recommend someone to the emperor!" ”

The emperor asked with interest: "Which one?" ”

Concubine Shu looked at Jing Muhui with a smile and said, "It's the concubine's niece Jingshu, does the emperor think she is worthy of the Seventh Prince?" ”

"Father, Wan Ge once warned her son that he needed to recuperate, and she said that his son had injured his muscles and veins because of the accident that happened before, leaving a hidden illness and needed a quiet environment to recuperate. ”

Jing Muhui saw that Concubine Shu began to instigate the emperor, so she had to make this decision.

"Then why didn't you sue me before?"

The emperor asked worriedly, "Erchen doesn't want his father to worry!" ”

Jing Muhui glanced at the emperor, looked at Concubine Shu coldly and explained.

The emperor looked at Jing Muhui and said, "Hui'er, did Doctor Jun say how long it will take to heal your injuries?" ”

Jing Muhui looked at these women who were playing right and wrong, clenched his fists fiercely, and said coldly, "It is estimated that it will take more than a year, and Erchen has no heart to think about his children's affairs now!" ”

As he spoke, he said, "Erchen remembered that there were still some things to deal with in the palace, so Erchen retired first."

As he spoke, he hurried away with a black face...... The moonlight gradually spreads in the sky, and on a summer night, the heat envelops the earth, and under this black curtain that seems to be rendered by ink, it reveals the starlight, but under this little starlight hides the endless black, like a bottomless pit that cannot see the border.

People fell asleep with the moonlight, looking forward to the dawn...... The fog was a bit heavy in the early morning, far away from the imperial capital, where the mountains were surrounded by heavy rocks, and among the criss-crossed valleys there was a group of buildings hidden, and the main building was built in the shape of a palace, and the gilt inscriptions under the eaves showed a few large characters - Yuxiao Palace.

The bottom of the valley is a wide flat area, and a few women dressed in white are playing in a short distance.

"Come on, come and get me!"

"Come to Wange, this way!"

"Here, hehe, I'm behind you!"

。

A group of white-clothed women said with a smile around Wan Ge, who was blindfolded in the middle.

"Where are you? Stop, and see how I catch you. ”

Wan Ge said with a smile.

One accidentally fell to the ground, her hand touched a person's foot, she excitedly grabbed her and said, "Catch, catch, I caught you, let me see which sister it is!" ”

When Singer Wan took a look at the cloth, his face suddenly turned pale!

For a moment, all the women knelt down and said, "See the palace master!" ”

, Wan Ge also knelt down and said timidly: "Wan Ge has seen the palace master!" ”

The veiled woman looked like she was already a, but she still exuded charm and charm.

The palace master looked at her coldly and said viciously: "Jun Wange, you violated the palace rules and left the palace without permission, and disappeared for a few months, and now the palace wants to punish you with palace rules!" Someone, drag her down, whip her, and put her in a water prison! ”

Wan Ge explained in fear: "Wan Ge knew that he was wrong, at that time, Wan Ge would only go out of the mountain for a while, and it was also because Wan Ge saw the lily leaf clover in the book and wanted to go out of the mountain to find it, but he was accidentally entangled, and he remembered the teachings of the palace master and did not dare to reveal his identity, so he never had the opportunity to return to the palace." Ask the palace master to spare Wan Ge this time, Wan Ge will not dare next time! ”

, the palace master roared angrily: "Come on, do what the palace says!" ”

Wan Ge was almost crying with fear, she watched the others begging them to intercede for her, but they lowered their heads in fear, and Wan Ge was dragged away "Dong"

was thrown into the water with a thud...... "Don't !! ”

Wan Ge yelled and bounced off the bed, and she looked around, only to realize that she was now in the Seven Kings' Mansion.

She let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her hands, the wind outside the window blew in, Wan Ge felt a chill on her back, and she realized that she was scared into a cold sweat by the dream just now.

She got up and stood under the windowsill, looked out the window with a pale face, and counted her fingers carefully, it had been more than six months since she left the palace.

More than six months ago, she went out of the palace to look for a herbal medicine to treat internal injuries, and she accidentally saved Jing Muhui, and stayed in the Seven Kings' Mansion to save him, and was taken to war.

Wan Ge felt that she was crazy, she actually violated the palace rules to hug him in order to save people, the purpose of the poison doctor in Yuxiao Palace to teach her medical skills was to learn to use poison, but she didn't expect that she was actually saving people.

Wan Ge smiled self-deprecatingly, if she returns to the palace now, it is estimated that it will be the same as the end in her dream, since this is the case, it is better to save people to the end, anyway, if she goes back, she will at least save one person.

A person who has a father to worry about, unlike her, she doesn't even know who her parents are, and no one cares if she dies!

Wan Ge raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the moon and smiled and said, "Mother, ......"

Under the same night, in the Four Princes' Mansion, "Fourth brother, why did you say that this seventh brother suddenly became smarter?" ”

Jing Mukun sat idly on the chair, picked up the dates on the table and threw them into the air, opened his mouth neatly to catch them, and asked vaguely.

Jing Mujue was stunned and thought about something, but didn't answer him, Jing Muyu, who was standing on the side, sat down and took a sip of tea, and said in an unhappy tone: "Who knows, maybe you are possessed by something!" ”

Jing Mukun complained worriedly: "This time he came back to see his father's happiness, what he said his father was allowed." We used to bully him and intimidate him so much, what if he took the opportunity to take revenge on us? I see that his eyes have completely changed like a person, he is now being favored, if his father lets him participate in politics, will there be a place for us in the future? ”

Jing Muyu's face changed when he heard his words, and he said quite worriedly: "Eighth brother is right, he is a completely different person now. When Concubine Xian died, her father promised her that he would take care of that nerd, otherwise would he be able to live until now? At that time, we didn't toss him behind our backs, fourth brother, what do you say we should do now? ”

Jing Mujue knocked on the table and said with a slight heaviness: "Although we don't seem to have anything wrong with him now, you and I both know it." There is only one purpose for him to be pampered now, the eldest brother is now bedridden, and the throne can only be set up from us, and he is standing up now is nothing more than seizing the throne, and he can't imagine being put on the throne by a fool at this juncture. I just don't know if he's really stupid or pretending to be stupid all these years, if he pretends to be stupid, it's terrible! ”

Jing Mukun's face turned pale, and he said with some lack of confidence: "He shouldn't be pretending to be like that!" If you are bullied like that and continue to play stupid...... No way! ”

Jing Muyu said in a heart: "It doesn't matter if he's really stupid or fake, anyway, Liangzi is already over, fourth brother, what do you think we should do?" ”

Jing Mujue looked at them and said, "Fifth brother, eighth brother, you first go and investigate to see if there is anything strange about his illness, and see what caused him to become like this now." For the rest, wait and see! ”

In the Six Princes' Mansion, "The third brother sent someone here just now!" ”

The sixth prince, Jing Muchen, looked at the ninth prince, who was immersed in poetry and songs, and said, "Oh, is there something wrong?" ”

Jing Muyu asked casually without raising his head.

Jing Muchen replied: "About the seventh brother! ”

Jing Muyu raised his head and asked with a little doubt: "Seventh brother?" What's wrong with him? ”

Jing Muchen asked, "Don't you see that the seventh brother is particularly abnormal recently?" Ever since that injury."

"Oh, isn't it just a normal person?" What's so hard to figure out about this? ”

Jing Muchen said indifferently, Jing Muchen looked at him a little speechlessly: "He has not only become a normal person, but now he is a little dangerous, don't you think it is a little dangerous?" Leading troops to fight, giving advice, and the tone of his voice, don't you think he has changed too much? ”

。

Jing Muyu put down the painting in his hand, thought intently for a while, and said: "Seventh brother, it seems that no one has become in his eyes, as if no one is afraid, I am afraid that he will already get under the table before this is put aside!" But what are we bothering about here, are we afraid of his revenge? But we didn't do anything wrong, when I was a child, I didn't bully him before I was stopped by my mother, for the sake of saving my mother regardless of the previous suspicions, I remember that I never bullied him. ”

Jing Muchen nodded as if he acquiesced, and stopped talking: "That's right, but the third brother's letter said that the seventh brother has changed too much, so he is ready to let people investigate the hidden situation behind this, and the reason is probably ......"

Jing Muyu guessed: "What the sixth brother is talking about - the throne? ”

Jing Muchen nodded and acquiesced, but Jing Muchen sat down and said nonchalantly: "Hey, it's normal for the seventh brother to covet the throne, and there are a few who don't want to be a prince." I'm afraid that the eldest brother is frail...... Didn't the second brother end up like this because he wanted to frame the eldest brother? Third brother, I don't have a problem with him if he wants to fight. Needless to say, the fourth brother has the most power among our eight princes, and he has not been involved in politics for a day or two, and the fifth brother and the starling brother are all in a group. I don't have much interest in participating in politics and seizing power, sixth brother, you know, I am naturally happy to be free and don't like power, if they want to fight, let them fight! ”

Jing Muchen said sternly: "What if the third brother wants us to help him? ”

Jing Muxuan frowned in embarrassment and said sternly: "I can only help a little fur!" ”

Jing Muchen didn't make a sound, Jing Muchen looked out the window and said, "Sixth brother, I'll sleep with you tonight!" And can you give me that wild goose picture? ”

Jing Muchen glanced at him and said quite annoyedly: "I'll only borrow you to watch it for a few days!" ”

Then he said to himself: "The third brother is afraid that he can't hold it back!" ”
