Counting forward, not only the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also many emperors of the previous dynasties had the habit of taking pills. Some of the pills paid by the Taoist priests who claimed to be outsiders were called immortal, some were called healthy, and the symptoms of those nobles after taking them varied.

However, Mu Qing is clear, those pills may be made of precious medicinal materials, but the method of refining is no different from making gunpowder and cannonballs, eating it is like eating poison, and you may feel refreshed, but it is only temporary, and it consumes the essence and blood of the overdraft.

What Li Muyan is holding in his hand at the moment is clearly a pill, Mu Qing looked at it, frowned slightly, but did not stop it, but watched Li Muyan slowly put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with tea.

Huang Hui had worry in his eyes, but he also stood quietly and didn't say a word.

Li Muyan put aside the teacup, exhaled softly, and then didn't look at Huichun who was on the side, just looked at Mu Qing with a smile and said, "Has Aiqing ever set up someone?" ”

Mu Qing blinked, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, just like the shyness that ordinary young boys and girls will show when asked about marriage, Mu Qing looked very embarrassed, but he still said generously: "Back to the emperor, Weichen's life is not very good, there are no elders in the family to help handle these things, and there is no parental matchmaker, and I am studying or preparing for exams most of the time, but I don't have so much free time to think about this." ”

The originally pale face on Li Muyan's face became a little ruddy, obviously the pill had an effect, which made the emperor's expression a lot more vivid: "Now that you are also an official from the fourth grade, and your age has also arrived, why don't you think about marrying." ”

Mu Qing felt a little awkward in his heart, as if he was now the junior who had returned home that year, and was urged to ask if he had a girlfriend, when he would bring it home, and if he wanted to get married.

It's just that Li Muyan's method is more simple and rude, directly skipping the first two steps and going directly to the last step......

Touching his nose, Mu Qing coughed twice, and then said: "Weichen is just a newcomer to officialdom now, his foundation is unstable, and he is slowly adapting to it, but he doesn't have so many thoughts. Besides, the minister wants to do more things while he is young and get married...... Or wait, there's no hurry. ”

Li Muyan didn't say much, he also saw that Mu Qing was obviously not interested in the aspect, so he also smiled and turned the page over: "I haven't been out of the palace to walk recently, but I don't know how beautiful the spring scene outside the palace is, if Aiqing is fine, it's good to talk to me." ”

Mu Qing also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and talked to Li Muyan with a smile about the delicacy outside the palace, as well as the interesting things he usually saw, and he was also smiling for a while.

=====================================================================

Until the sun gradually set in the west, Mu Qing got up and said goodbye. Li Muyan didn't leave him either, just smiled and waved his hand, asking Xiao Lingzi to send him off, and after watching Mu Qing's figure turn around and disappear from sight, the smile on Li Muyan's face gradually dissipated.

He glanced at Huichun, who had been standing aside, and said lightly, "Where have you been?" ”

When Huichun stood here for so long, she also knew that Li Muyan was afraid that she would be annoyed, so she lost her usual calmness, but tried to shrink herself a little, and her expression was cautious and pitiful: "The slave maid was fascinated by reading the book just now, and she failed to greet the official family, please forgive the official family." As he spoke, he knelt down.

"Come on." As soon as Li Muyan's two words came out, Huang Hui stretched out his hand holding the dust in time, supported Huichun's arm, and made her stop moving. Huichun looked up at Li Muyan pitifully, but Li Muyan didn't look at her, but said, "You go and pick a book to copy, and then come to see me after copying, and I will also see if your calligraphy has improved." ”

Huichun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, copying books was just a very light punishment, and she was asked to pick the books herself, obviously Li Muyan didn't really want to get along with her. But Huichun is not stupid, she has already made up her mind, go find a thicker book, and copy it all night, so that the official family will pity some of them, and things will be easier to perform in the future.

Pursing his lips, Huichun bowed, and after saying a word of thanks, he withdrew.

Li Muyan didn't look at her all the time, but stared intently at the book spread out on the table, but whether she read the content on it or not, only Li Muyan himself knew.

Huang Hui has been by Li Muyan's side for a long time, and his speculation about Li Muyan's thoughts is much more accurate than others. He stretched out his hand to take the tea cup next to Li Muyan's hand, then pinned the dust to his waist, walked behind Li Muyan, stretched out his white hand and gently placed it on Li Muyan's forehead, and gently kneaded it.

Li Muyan exhaled a breath, leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was hazy: "Huang Hui, did you say that I did something wrong in the first place?" ”

Huang Hui's movements are still the same, his voice is not as low as a man's, but it is not sharp, it has a unique magnetism: "The official family is too worried, you are the Son of Heaven, and you will not make mistakes." ”

Li Muyan opened his eyes slightly, looked at Huang Hui's charming face, and was a little lonely in his words: "I really should have brought Yan'er back, instead of leaving her in Jiangnan." ”

Huang Hui didn't speak, but there was worry in his eyes.

Li Muyan saw Huang Hui's uneasiness, and he didn't mention it much. Mu Yan has been a taboo since a long time ago, maybe Li Muyan has become unfamiliar with that kind of simple feelings, he always misses, but he is afraid of the woman who is like the weakness of life.

Sometimes he was thinking, now that Mu Yan was dead, if she was still alive, would he let her live, or would he ......

"Official," Huang Hui's low call recalled Li Muyan's thoughts, and only listened to Huang Huidao, "I have already explained what you asked me to do, and I believe that there will be results in the near future." ”

Li Muyan nodded, reached out and patted Huang Hui's arm, Huang Hui put his hand down and stood aside, Li Muyan exhaled, feeling faster than just now, and smiled: "It's just that I want to get an answer." ”

Huang would smile, but not answer.

Li Muyan stretched out his hand and put the folds in front of him aside, and asked as if unintentionally: "Have you been to Chenglu Hall these days?" ”

Chenglu Palace, has always been the place where the new women who enter the palace without titles live in the waiting for election, because there is no general election, so those official ladies now live there. Huang Hui listened to his question, and said, "I went there once yesterday, and it was as usual. ”

Li Muyan nodded, and there were a few names in his head. He didn't have any ideas about those official ladies, and the purpose of this draft was just to choose some suitable ladies for his children and nephews, and he had no intention of filling the harem. Li Muyan is also unclear about the appearance and temper of those girls, for him, the beautiful women who are like flowers are just symbols and representatives of the family.

As for the relationship between the two lovers he marryed, it was the most insignificant option.

But now, Li Muyan has thought about it one more step. He looked at Huang Hui and said, "Have you noticed the daughter of Liu Shiren's family?" ”

Huang Hui thought about it, and knew that Li Muyan was asking about Liu Shiren's granddaughter who was sent to the palace to run for election this time, so he said: "See, she is a woman with a simple personality, who seems to live up to Lord Liu's teachings, is very knowledgeable, can't let go of the book, and gets along with everyone else very well." ”

"Where's the look?"

Huang Hui was a little surprised by Li Muyan's question, but he still said: "Beautiful appearance." ”

Li Muyan nodded, thought about it for a while, but said, "Huang Hui, you said that if I promised her to Mu Qing, would it be good?" ”

Is this going to be married?

Huang Hui was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, he knew what Li Muyan meant, Liu Mengru is Liu Shiren's granddaughter, and Mu Qing is now Liu Shiren's disciple, which can be regarded as a happy event with relatives and relatives. And Liu Shiren has never been involved in too much government affairs, this old man's pedantic style can rest assured that Mu Qing's current official position, as well as the emperor's mind, I am afraid that he will also do this civil service to the end.

This family business seems very suitable from any point of view.

It's just that Huang Hui still remembered Mu Qing's words just now, Xu Mu Qing looked at him, Huang Hui said more: "This family business is naturally excellent, they also look like a good match, and they are very talented and beautiful," his voice paused, "But I just heard what Lord Mu meant, it seems that I want to start a business first and then start a family." ”

Li Muyan waved his hand very casually: "It's okay, this time let the girl of the Liu family choose not to choose, send it home, in a few years, Mu Qing changed his mind and remarried." ”

Huang Hui smacked his tongue when he heard this, sure enough, it was his own child who was in pain, so simple to let the girl of the Liu family go home, and in a few years, the girl of the Liu family will be twenty years old, if the official family changes his mind, Mu Qing is fine, it is terrible that the girl of the Liu family will suffer.

However, Huang Hui didn't have the heart to pity others, so he just wrote it down in his heart.

But he didn't want to, Li Muyan answered faintly: "You remember, if this family affair is successful in the future, I will seal the position of the county lord of the Liu family, and allow her to marry in ten miles with red makeup and scenery," Li Muyan's eyes looked at the sunset outside the door, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's just that I don't want Mu Qing to have children with her, do you remember?" ”

Huang Hui lowered his head and answered yes, his expression was cold, and his voice was respectful.

==========================================================================

When Mu Qing returned to the garden, he didn't see Wei Jun.

I thought to myself, didn't Wei Jun go back first after too long? I was distracted for a while, but I didn't notice that someone was behind me, and then I felt a pain in my head, as if I had been knocked by something.

Mu Qing covered his head and turned around, and saw the person standing close to him.

Brocade clothes and jade belts, rich and handsome, jade jade fans are held in his hands, handsome and unparalleled
