Chapter 162: Trust is paramount
In the evening, the two of them were seriously practicing calligraphy on several cases, and Mu Yuxi suddenly thought of Soya's words today, so he asked:
"Is there a draft next year?"
After succeeding to the throne, there will be a draft every three years, and next year will be Kwon Kyung-mo's third year.
Quan Jingmo practiced his hand for a moment, put down the ink pen and said:
"The early summer of next year is the rule set by our ancestors."
"Hmm."
Mu Yuxi didn't ask anything, and continued to practice calligraphy, Quan Jingmo looked at the handwriting on the rice paper, and knew at a glance that she was in a bad mood at this time: calligraphy is practiced with a calm mentality, emphasizing strength and skill, but Mu Yuxi is too heavy now.
"Angry?"
Quan Jingmo put down the brush and propped his hands on several cases.
"Nope. I can't be unreasonable, the rules of my ancestors should be followed or followed. β
Although Mu Yuxi felt uncomfortable, his face still did not change. is reasonable, she can't refuse, this is not modern, monogamy seems too extravagant, not to mention that he is the emperor.
"I won't take a fancy to them."
Quan Jingmo opened his mouth to explain.
"I know, it's just that there is another group of women in this harem."
I don't know how many new enemies there will be.
Mu Yuxi put down the pen and put his hands around his chest:
"Hey, year after year, day after day, month after month, I always have to do the same thing."
Mu Yuxi shook his head, there is no hope in such a life, it can only be regarded as staying up one day at a time.
"After Chinese New Year's Eve, Shun will give you a title."
Quan Jingmo looked at her with a worried look, and was busy saying something that would make her happy.
"It doesn't matter. I don't want to be promoted right now. It's good to be Zhaoyi, the lower the status, the fewer people will stare at me. β
In the past, he pursued position like that, just to get power, but now, he has regained love, and those are not enough to mention, what he cares about in his heart is more important than anything else.
Woman. It's all emotional in the end.
"Why not?"
Quan Jingmo felt strange, didn't she cry and shout Jin Feng before? He even talked about exchanging meritorious service for promotion.
"You said it all, I am the queen in your heart, this is the most important. And. The queen mother doesn't like me, the previous dynasty doesn't like me, the queen doesn't like me, if I am given a promotion, it will definitely cause a fight. Instead, it pushed me to the forefront, and when the time came, what was the sin that wanted to be added? In order to avoid it, I am willing to still be Zhaoyi, and I understand this truth. β
Mu Yuxi seems to do all this for her own sake, but in fact, where is she afraid of attracting wind? It's nothing more than to give Quan Jingmo less trouble.
"Good. I'm all up to you. When the overall situation is settled, the power shrinks and converges into my hands, and I will definitely let you ascend to the sky in one step. β
Quan Jingmo is so wise, how could he not know that her mind is for him?
"Are we brothers and sisters?"
Quan Jingmo has the former dynasty and the queen mother to interfere in politics, and Mu Yuxi has the queen and concubine eyeing her.
"Count."
Some annoyance. As soon as Mu Yuxi said it, it seemed a lot easier.
"I want to leave the palace once in the next two days."
Mu Yuxi still spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"The palace is in a panic, you let me go out for two days."
Mu Yuxi was coquettish, in fact, she wanted to go out of the palace to choose something special, she wanted to surprise Quan Jingmo on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Give you a day."
That's the maximum limit.
"Okay."
Mu Yuxi compromised.
"But I may not be able to spare time with you."
Quan Jingmo was a little embarrassed, Xiling Kingdom had a lot of things to prepare for his visit, and there were many urgent things at the end of the year.
"I can let the fourth prince accompany me. I haven't seen him in a long time. β
Mu Yuxi's mention made Quan Jingmo a little uncomfortable, and said:
"You can't see that he likes you?"
When Mu Yuxi followed out of the palace before, she had always concealed her identity for convenience, so that Quan Jingyan always thought that she was a palace maid, and Quan Jingmo could naturally see that Jing Yan's eyes when she looked at Mu Yuxi were special.
"I know. But I also treat him as a friend. And. Set up a banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he will know that I am a maiden. β
Mu Yuxi didn't dare to say it directly to the fourth prince, after all, that scene was too embarrassing. Moreover, Quan Jingyan is a sincere friend to her. Rebirth. The first person to smile at her, the first person to be nice to her, the first person to save her, and the first person to take care of her, are all Quan Jingyan.
"One last time."
He believed in Mu Yuxi's heart, and. He didn't feel comfortable letting others protect her.
"Good. Deal. Then the day after tomorrow, tomorrow you will ask someone to give a message to the fourth prince. β
Mu Yuxi smiled with satisfaction and continued to practice calligraphy.
She didn't see Quan Jingmo's eyes passing by for a moment, a trace of obvious loss and worry, and a trace of forbearance.
He loved her and was willing to give her everything she wanted, and he could only trust and worry about the potential crisis.
He wanted to refuse, but he wanted to keep her safe when he couldn't do it himself, so Kwon Kyung-yan was the best choice.
"Huh."
Gently hugging her from behind, Quan Jingmo felt that husband and wife were just like this: you think for him, she thinks for you, mutual understanding, mutual tolerance and mutual trust, that's all.
"Jing Mo, you're so good."
She felt like she was falling in love again. This time, Quan Jingmo is no longer the stand-in of the modern Quan Jingmo, but another real fall
On the morning of the third day, Quan Jingyan went to the side gate of the palace with great interest and waited, while Mu Yuxi dressed up in civilian clothes and walked out of the palace.
"The fourth prince, Jin An."
Mu Yuxi bent his knees and said goodbye.
"Xiaoxi, don't be so polite."
Quan Jingyan's face showed irrepressible joy.
"Haha, it's good to be out of the palace!"
Breathing the air outside the palace, Mu Yuxi only felt that freedom was so precious.
"Where do you want to play? I'll take you. β
"There is still half a month to go before the New Year, is it lively outside?"
"It's very lively, the streets and alleys are full of traffic."
Mu Yuxi nodded and got into the carriage with Quan Jingyan.
meanwhile
"Wan Liu, why is that person so familiar."
"Who?"
When Mu Yuxi and Quan Jingyan were talking and talking, two palace maids not far away exchanged ears.
"That one is the fourth prince, how can I look at the other one who looks like Mu Zhaoyi of Guiyan Palace."
"Mu Zhaoyi? How could it be, that person was wearing civilian clothes, if it was Mu Zhaoyi, how could he leave the palace? β
"I don't think I'm mistaken. Besides, how old is Mu Zhaoyi's ability, the emperor scolded others for her, didn't the queen also be said by the emperor because she offended Mu Zhaoyi? Maybe the emperor can really allow her to leave the palace. Don't care about it for now, tell sΓΉ Niangniang first. β
The two palace maids hurried back to the palace.
And when the two palace maids looked at Mu Yuxi, Quan Jingyan actually saw it, but he always thought that Xiaoxi was the palace maid, and thought that the two palace maids recognized her, so he didn't pay much attention. (To be continued.) )
