It was drizzling again, the whole city was shrouded in a thin layer of smoke, the night was silent, there was no noise and prosperity during the day, the old day had passed, the new day was about to begin, and everyone's life would continue regardless of joy and sorrow.

Mu Aonan lives in the home of the local prefect, although it is not as prosperous as the palace, but it is also comfortable, every day he runs around for disaster relief, observes the people's feelings, and does his best to control the situation and alleviate the disaster, and is an envoy for two days a day, because he wants to go back soon, so that he can ask his father to marry Xia Yimeng as the crown princess as soon as possible.

"Prince, it's already time, you better hurry up and rest, if you are tired, the slave can't afford it."

The little eunuch who accompanied him saw that Mu Aonan didn't mean to sleep yet, so he specially reminded him of the time.

"This king knows, you pack up these materials for this king, and I will see it in the carriage tomorrow."

The disaster relief is nearing the end, and he will visit various places tomorrow and tell him some things, and if there are no unexpected circumstances, he can leave for Zhaodu the day after tomorrow.

This place is far away from Zhaodu, and it will take five days to get there even if you are fast.

Mu Aonan glanced at the gift he brought to Xia Yimeng before going to bed, a few days ago when he visited the pawnshop in the people, he saw an old couple preparing to pawn two big pearls, the pearl color is very good, it is considered to be superior, they said that this is an ancestral heirloom, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive this year, they wouldn't take it away.

But the price given by the pawnshop owner was too low, they were a little hesitant, Mu Aonan looked at the two old men very pitiful, and thought that he didn't seem to have given Xiaomeng jewelry or anything like that except for the hairpin, he thought to himself that the girls were very eager to receive these gifts.

The next morning, the sun was exceptionally bright, due to the overnight rain in the air, the smell of the earth was still wafting in the air, the dew on the leaves reflected the dazzling light in the sun, a beautiful day began, Xia Yimeng stretched his waist in front of the window, breathing fresh air, people's mood is easily affected by the external environment, cloudy days will make people feel depressed, sunny days will make people energetic.

"Miss, the master has come back from the court and called you to eat."

The maid in the house shouted outside the door.

"Okay, Miss will be right here."

Xiao Zhen helped Xia Yimeng tie his belt, the two of them got up a little late today, and they were already sitting at the dinner table ready to eat when the old man came back from the previous dynasty.

The towering palace wall imprisons the dreams of many people, obliterates the hopes of many people, exhausts the youth of many people, it is cruel and indifferent, but there are still many people who regard it as a dragon gate, thinking that as long as they jump over it, they can turn a sparrow into a phoenix, and there may be a few people who can understand the pain of being locked in a golden cage and never able to spread its wings and fly high.

Mu Linghan walked towards Cining Palace as soon as he was in the morning, a few days ago he was a little lazy and didn't come to the morning court on the grounds that he was unwell, the emperor was used to his casual character, so he turned a blind eye.

"The king has arrived~"

The little eunuch who was guarding outside the gate of Cining Palace saw Mu Linghan coming, and hurriedly knelt down to report in a shrill voice.

The maids also stopped what they were doing, bowed their heads and saluted him, and a few of the brave ones secretly raised their heads to glance at him as he passed by.

It was very funny that the palace maid squeezed her head and came to Cining Palace on an errand, just to have a chance to look at him a few more times.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

Mu Linghan walked up to the Queen Mother and knelt down to salute.

"Hurry up, it's cool underground, are you feeling better?"

The Queen Mother personally helped him up from the ground, took her hand and asked with concern.

Everyone in the palace knows that the Queen Mother loves King Cheng the most, and the most common thing to read on weekdays is also King Cheng, and he is worried about his life if he doesn't see him for a few days, and he has a room specially reserved for him in Cining Palace, and he will stay in the palace overnight if he has nothing to do, fortunately, the age difference between King Cheng and the emperor is large, and he can't pose a threat to his throne, don't rush this favor, and the emperor won't let him go.

When a person becomes emperor, his eyes will be blinded, and he will not hesitate to eradicate those who will threaten your status, even your loved ones.
