The days flickered and spring began.

It's business as usual, and everything has changed. There was a lot of rain in the spring, and the drizzle was continuous, and it made people's hearts seem to be moldy.

Murong Mian still goes to the court every day, but the once powerful and majestic Prince of Chu has now become a joke in the eyes of the courtiers. He is almost an empty shelf now, except for the hat of the king of the sect, he has no power in his hands. Every day in the court, the emperor always has to make fun of him. He wasn't annoyed, he had a blank face, didn't say anything, and looked a little decadent.

Not only did the emperor ridicule him, but even Prime Minister Bai also made fun of him, yin and yang weird, sneering, from top to bottom, he pulled out his face when he had the opportunity, if it was before, he would have kicked his heart a long time ago, but now he seems to be used to it, and he has some meaning of resignation.

In the end, even King Jin couldn't see it, and ran to persuade him, "Third brother, why are you here, they want to fight and make trouble, let them go, why bother to take yourself in, you are not a person inside and outside." ”

Murong Mian asked, "Second brother has been back for so long, and you still don't want to see it?" ”

"Forget it, I don't get involved in their affairs, I still have the same attitude as before, to be an idle prince, whoever is in charge, I am satisfied with a piece of tile roof, I am not like the third brother, you are mixed on both sides, and now, I have made myself into this situation."

Murong Mian said, "I am among them, and neither side dares to act rashly, once this was the situation I wanted, using the emperor to suppress the second brother, and using the second brother to contain the emperor, but when I really came to this point, I didn't know what to do in my heart." ”

King Jin sighed, "I'm afraid that the third brother's hard work will eventually be in vain, the emperor has become more and more ridiculous recently, he used to be a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people, but now he let Bai Ruyu's father and daughter make trouble in the court, the emperors of all dynasties are afraid of their relatives, and Prime Minister Bai is already powerful, I heard that now even the matter of approving red has been handed over to him." If this continues, the DPRK will not be the DPRK, and the country will not be the country! ”

Murong Mian was silent for a while, "Some things backfire after all, I'm afraid that I will fail the queen's entrustment." You can rest assured, Dongyue has always been the Dongyue of the Murong clan, and the third brother knows in his heart that he will not be a country. ”

"With the words of the third brother, the younger brother's heart can fall back into the cavity," King Jin hesitated, "Third brother, is there any news for the princess?" ”

Murong Mian grinned, as if he smiled bitterly, "What she is best at is running away, once in the house, I have seen her ability to dump people, and now that she is outside, the world is big, and it is not easy to find her." ”

"Although this matter has not been made public, the emperor is only afraid that he has already received a letter, and the third brother should find the princess before the emperor."

Mo Rong narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed, "I know." ”

Jin Dynasty he arched his hand, "Now our brother wants to drink in private, but I'm afraid it's not easy, don't leave it here, the third brother be careful in everything." ”

"Well, you can go back." Murong Mian stood there with his hands in his hands, watching him go away.

Ning Jiu led the horse to come over, and his thin figure stood like a strong bamboo, "Lord Wang, General Han's secret letter has arrived." ”

"How?"

"General Han, please rest assured that he and General Li are ready and waiting for the prince's order at any time."

Murong Mian looked at the new sprouts on the trees on the side of the road, "How is Xiao Changkang's injury doing?" ”

"It's all right, he's staying impatient, and wants the prince to assign some work to do."

"There is something for him to do right now, Bai Ruyu promoted a distant cousin of his, called Bai Zhengxiong, as the general of the right hall, he has been promoted to his post yesterday, it is a full straw bag, you let Xiao Changkang go over."

Ning Jiu's eyes lit up: "Yes, his subordinates will notify him immediately." Lord, are we going to do it? ”

Murong Mian withdrew his gaze, "The destiny of heaven is hard to violate, that position was not his, and it is also obedient to the will of heaven to let him come down." ”

Ning Jiu was silent for a moment, "Does the prince want the crown prince to ascend the throne?" ”

"The prince is a sage, and only a sage can afford the world. However," Murong Mian said, "We haven't reached the last step yet, everything is possible." ”

"In the opinion of his subordinates, the emperor is not enough to take on a big responsibility, the prince is too smart, and the prince is brave and strategic, why ......"

"Presumptuous!" Murong Mian's cold gaze swept away, "Don't let me hear this kind of thing again." ”

"Yes," Ning Jiu lowered his head, but there was no expression on his face.

——

Bai Qianfan decided not to run away and stayed here.

At the beginning, Murong Mian promised to take her to Jiangnan to play, but now that things are wrong, she naturally can't do anything, but when she went to Jiangnan herself, she liked the mountains and rivers, grass and trees here. The house with blue bricks and white walls, the alley paved with stone slabs, the water is green and clear, some people are fishing by the river, and they can pull up a fat grass carp at will, the beauty outside the fence is scorched red like fire, and the stamen is always stained with dew, pick one and suck it in the mouth, which is sweeter than honey.

They originally wanted to go to Lingnan, because they were very curious about what they heard about wearing single clothes in winter, but when they got here, Bai Qianfan didn't want to leave, across Weishui and Lanjiang, they were already far away from Lin'an City, in the past two months, they had not heard any rumors of arresting Princess Chu, and they thought that the prince of Chu had completely given up, and she could be solved by finding a random excuse to the outside world.

Since they decided to stay, they naturally have to plan carefully, and they have some money in their hands, but they can't sit and eat empty, they have to use money to make money, so that their lives can go on.

The three of them are a total of three people, and they have a face in the town, doing business in front and living in the back.

As for what kind of business, the three of them have discussed, just do the embroidery workshop, the laurel is the true inheritance of the green lotus, the embroidered things can be sold at a price, Yuexiang's craftsmanship is also good, although Bai Qianfan is a little worse, there is no problem with running errands or buying goods, and you can also take a handle when you are busy.

They are all doers, and they decided to do it, and soon they got along with the house, the first three large wings, and a yard, the front is the front and back of the door, the area is also large, and you can arrange it as you want.

After paying the deposit, finding someone to make a slight rectification, purchasing furniture and goods, a few days of hard work, the embroidery workshop was opened, and there was a plaque hanging on the door, red on a blue background: Xiaoyue Embroidery Workshop.

The name was taken by Bai Qianfan, her name has always been simple, so she took the moon word of laurel and moonflower, and habitually added a small word in front, and Yuexiang said that the small word was not good-looking, so it was changed to Xiao.

Outside the store, the whip crackled non-stop, and the three of them hid in the door with their ears covered, giggling and laughing. Looking at the brand-new storefront, the neatly arranged embroidery, and the bustling crowd outside, the three of them held each other's hands, full of confidence in the future.
