Mu Yunqi didn't expect that Rui Wang Situ Xi was such a serious person, as soon as she arrived at the ministry, Rui Wang came to assess her ability. When Mu Yun first saw King Rui when he was a child, he was with Situ Jing at Concubine Chen's place, and Concubine Chen also liked Situ Xi at that time, and sometimes asked him to come and eat the snacks she made.

Every now and then, Situ Jing is very stingy, and hides the delicious food privately and leaves it to Mu Yunqi, until one time the things he left behind are broken, and Mu Yunqi eats a bad stomach, Concubine Chen knows that in front of Situ Xi, Concubine Chen taught Situ Jing a hard lesson, and from then on, what he hated most in Situ Jing's heart was his third emperor brother Situ Xi, when he was young, he thought he had robbed his mother, and now he is probably afraid that he will snatch Mu Yunqi.

Now goodbye to Situ Xi, Mu Yunqi can no longer find the third brother in his impression at all, Situ Xi is much taller than him at that time, his facial features have also grown, and he looks tougher, but he does not lose the flower and moon appearance of Concubine De, especially the nose and eyes, like the Concubine De who always greets her with a smile. Therefore, no matter how strict Situ Xi was, he couldn't make her afraid.

After Situ Xi finished the assessment, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "The recommendation of the Prime Minister is really good, Lord Yun, do things seriously and do things for the people, this king will not treat you badly, you understand." ”

Mu Yunqi bowed and said, "The minister understands, and the minister will live up to His Highness's entrustment." ”

Situ Xi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay." But he found that the shoulder he was holding was too thin, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord Yun is too thin, pay attention to your body." ”

Mu Yunqi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the minister also knows some medical skills and will take care of himself." ”

Situ Xi nodded, and walked around the official department again before leaving.

Several colleagues came over and said, "His Royal Highness King Rui looks very good at Brother Yun, if Brother Yun has a chance to emerge one day, don't forget us." ”

Mu Yunqi arched his hand and said: "A few benevolent brothers have laughed, Yun has just arrived, and he will rely on you benevolent brothers in the future." ”

I never thought that every day after that, Situ Yu would come to the ministry to sit for a while, and he would go to Mu Yunqi for a turn, which made Mu Yunqi very weak and couldn't figure out what Situ Xi was thinking now.

On this day, Situ Xi came to take a turn as usual, looked at Mu Yunqi busy but said, "After being busy, accompany this king out for a walk." ”

Mu Yunqi was full of black lines, "Why do you want me to accompany you, what do you want to do?" But she also said in her heart that after finishing the work in hand, she obediently accompanied Situ Xi out.

Situ Xi took her to a royal garden, the courtyard is deep, the environment is beautiful, but the surroundings are heavily guarded, Mu Yunqi saw this situation, he couldn't help but be a little frightened, this Situ Yu invited himself not just to come out and go around, he had a purpose, thinking of this, Mu Yunqi was also on guard.

Situ Xi looked at her and said with a smile: "Lord Yun doesn't need to be so nervous, the royal garden has always been like this, come and sit." ”

Mu Yunqi sat down as he signaled, the maid poured tea, and Situ Xi took a sip and asked, "Lord Yun was once a guest of King Qin?" ”

Mu Yunqi immediately nodded and said, "I have lived in □□ for a while, but I have not given advice to His Royal Highness King Qin. ”

"Situ Jing is cautious, he will not easily confide in others, how can you gain his trust in just a few days."

"What His Highness said is that King Qin is indeed cautious."

"This king sees that Lord Yun handles affairs in an orderly manner, and he is a rare talent, I don't know if Lord Yun is willing to serve this king."

Mu Yunqi couldn't help but look up at Situ Xi, it seemed that these princes were all ambitious, she said with a little hesitation: "The minister has always been under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness, and he will be serious and responsible, please rest assured Your Highness." ”

After Situ Xi heard what she said, he laughed and said, "Lord Yun doesn't have to be so wise to protect himself, this king and the king of Qin are not enemies. ”

Mu Yunqi couldn't help frowning, "If you are both princes, you can all become princes, how can you not be enemies?" Mu Yunqi thought in his heart.

Situ Xi looked at her and shook his head with a smile, and took a sip of tea, "You'll know later." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't bother to think about it, raised the teacup and saluted Situ Xi and said, "King Rui is wise, and the minister is not as good." ”

Situ Xi didn't say anything more, looking at the green trees in the distance, his heart was also turning a thousand times.

Mu Yunqi's appearance also caused ripples in his heart, he wanted Situ Jing to be two years old, he was ten years old when Concubine Chen died, he remembered many things, remembered the Situ Jing who always thought he would take away Concubine Chen's love, and remembered the cute little girl Mu Yunqi who always followed behind Situ Jing.

After Concubine Chen's death, Situ Jing changed, and no one in the harem dared to approach him, and they all said that he was a little plague god behind his back. killed Concubine Chen, killed the Mu family, and even Mu Yunqi was forced to leave the house, but I don't know where this rumor came from.

Situ Xi once went to see Situ Jing secretly, and was found by his mother and was punished heavily, and he never dared to go again, until he grew up, he was sealed with his own palace, and he thought about taking Situ Jing out for reunion, but he never thought that Situ Jing, who had a weak crown for two years, actually invited Ying to go to the border to guard.

This is two years, when the weak crown is weak, once you come back to be sealed and opened, there are very few opportunities to meet after that. He deeply remembered that Concubine Chen was kind to him back then, and always wanted to help Situ Jing, but he missed the opportunity again and again.

This time, he wanted to use Yun Murong's hand to help Situ Jing. Because he himself has no extravagance for the throne, he knows that it is not easy to sit in that position, even if his father is now like a puppet, he is at the mercy of the prime minister and the queen mother, and there is no freedom at all. He doesn't want to be an emperor like his father, but now the situation in the court seems irreversible, and the next emperor will also be the puppet of the Mu family. And among these princes, the most unruly, the most difficult to figure out, and the most likely to break through this shackle is only Situ Jing.

He is not like the princes who were taught and raised by the princes, there is a mysterious force behind him that pushes him to grow, making his way of doing things completely different from the princes, so Situ Xi pinned his hopes on Situ Jing, hoping that he could break the shackles of the Mu family and become an independent monarch.

Unconsciously, Situ Xi had already drunk a lot of tea and watched the scenery for a long time. Mu Yunqi was always by his side, not saying anything, not doing anything, just quietly accompanying him.

He looked at Mu Yunqi and asked, "Lord Yun is tired from sitting with this king for half a day." ”

Mu Yunqi smiled and said, "Just doing nothing, sitting for a long time is really tiring." ”

Situ Xi looked at him with some surprise at first, he had never met such an outspoken person in front of him, and then smiled with relief, maybe only such a special person could open Situ Jing's heart that had been sealed for many years.

Situ Xi sat for a while before taking Mu Yunqi out of the royal garden and sending her home.
