Mu Biwei stepped on the remnants of snow and the rotten leaves that fell in the autumn with some difficulty, not that she was not used to walking the mountain road, although this mountain road was indeed the first time she walked, but if it weren't for the ultramarine on her body The palace clothes cut by Lu Jin were too cumbersome and cumbersome, this mountain road would definitely be much easier to walk.

It's just that she sneaked out of the palace under the cover of Ah Shan, if she was wearing palace clothes, it could be said that she was greedy for the scenery and walked away, but she was bumped into in the middle and had something to say, if she changed into a Hu costume that was easy to move...... Then you can't escape the word premeditation.

Stopping on a piece of bluestone, fortunately wearing cowhide boots that were easy to move under the cumbersome long skirt, she took the opportunity to stop and look around, she stomped hard to the dirt stained by the boots all the way, spotted an extraordinarily tall pine tree in the east, and walked over quickly.

This pine tree has been growing for a hundred years, although it is the time when the snow has not disappeared, but it is still luxuriant, verdant and vigorous, the dark green pine needles have fallen on the ground, and the boots have stepped on the place to reveal more pale yellow needles, at this time there has been a fluffy grass in the sunny place, a squirrel that woke up early stood on a high place and jumped, saw Mu Biwei approaching, as if frightened, the tail flicked, and he jumped and ran away.

"The short note that Nie Yuansheng gave said that we would meet near this pine tree, and it was more convenient for him to come out than me, so why did I come first?" This is the halfway of the West Pole Mountain, looking back, the palace is majestic and uneven, the residual snow in the middle is still clean, the pines and cypresses are covered, the West Pole Mountain is just a residual vein, not too high, but the mountainside has also had Lan Yun, now the cold is not over, although Mu Biwei climbed all the way up, this will stand still, and can't help but tighten the robe, turn to the back of the tree to avoid the wind.

It was only when she turned to a leeward place behind the tree that out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a corner of her dark clothes, which, because of its similarity to the pine branches, would have almost reached her shoulder if it had not been so close.

Mu Bi looked up slightly, and saw Nie Yuansheng wearing a dark dark coat, covered with a sable fur, sitting on a pine branch more than one person high with one leg bent, his back against the tree trunk, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap. His appearance is handsome and compelling, at this moment, the golden ring is tied with hair, the hosta is smooth, because the spring warmth on the mountainside is later, and the surroundings are dark, which is more and more set off by this person's face like a crown of jade, and his bearing is intimidating, Mu Biwei is thoughtful, and he is definitely not a person who can be moved by beauty, at this moment, he saw his quiet sleeping face a few feet away, and he couldn't help but think more: "If you don't know someone, you see such a handsome man in the mountains at first glance, you really want to mistake it for a mountain spirit, or meet a fairy - after Nie Linyi in the end, this appearance is really good-looking." ”

She knew that Nie Yuansheng was thoughtful and would never fall asleep in the wild easily, seeing that he was still with his eyes closed, only when he was deliberately making things difficult for himself, he was secretly annoyed, so he coughed lightly, how did he know that Nie Yuansheng was still asleep, Mu Biwei was displeased, although Nie Yuansheng hung a leg down from the branch, but she couldn't step forward and pull the man's robe - there was no third party here, and there was no need to worry about reputation, but in this way, if Nie Yuansheng opened his eyes halfway and saw it, wouldn't it be as if he was begging for each other at his feet?

Mu Biwei looked around, this pine tree has been born for a long time, the canopy covers an extremely wide area, and the vicinity is covered by the pine needles that have accumulated years, there is neither residual snow nor stones, she is unwilling, she turned around, simply picked a red gold ring on her wrist, and threw it at Nie Yuansheng in the air, originally thought that the other party would immediately reach out to take it, but he didn't want Nie Yuansheng to be unconscious, until the red gold ring smashed on his chin, he seemed to be taken aback, and opened his eyes!

"Mu Qingyi?" Nie Yuansheng seemed to be really asleep, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, he took out the red gold ring from the sable fur, rubbed his chin, and looked dazed for a moment, but when he saw Mu Biwei standing under the tree with his hands behind his back, his expression was annoyed, and he immediately understood, and a trace of self-deprecation appeared on his face, and said, "The lower officials came early, I thought that after a short rest, Tsing Yi would wake up before he arrived, I didn't want to oversleep all of a sudden, and I looked at Tsing Yi Yuanyou." ”

Mu Bi glanced at him suspiciously: "Are you really asleep?" ”

"If Xia Guan is awake, how can he continue to pretend to be asleep when he sees Tsing Yi coming?" Nie Yuansheng smiled faintly, picked up the sable fur, and jumped off the branch easily, Mu Biwei noticed that when he landed, there were almost no sound of pine needles on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously: "Nie Shilang is so skillful, he actually failed to notice the concubine approaching?" ”

Nie Yuansheng said with a smile: "Xia Guan is not an eventful person, since he gave Tsing Yi that short note, how can he continue to lose face in Tsing Yi?" ”

Mu Bi pursed her mouth slightly, Nie Yuansheng's words were clearly explained, and there was another meaning in the words, but she didn't laugh at her stinginess, she glared at the other party, and didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Dare to ask Shilang, has my father and brother ever gotten along with King Anping in private recently?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of consternation crossed Nie Yuansheng's face!

Seeing this, Mu Biwei's face couldn't help but sink, and she asked, "What happened in the previous dynasty?" ”

"Tsing Yi is too worried, although King Anping is His Majesty's brother-in-law, he has no real position, and he doesn't have to go to court." After Nie Yuansheng's face was shocked, he immediately calmed down, and said lightly, "As for Brother Lingzun, but he is serving in Qingdu County, it is even more difficult to meet, even more so that this hunting, or His Majesty added them for the sake of Tsing Yi." ”

Mu Bi said suspiciously: "Is this really the case? ”

"I don't know why Tsing Yi thought of King Anping and Brother Lingzun together?" Nie Yuansheng asked rhetorically, "But there are such rumors in the palace or in the palace these days?" ”

"Not really." Mu Bi sighed slightly, she has lived in the palace for a long time, although the Wind Lotus Courtyard is in the Xuanshu Palace, but now there is only one Ah Shan credible around, although Ji Shen does not blame the favorite concubine for occasionally talking about the government, but it is impossible to know everything about the previous dynasty - Empress Dowager Gao is here, even if Zuo Zhaoyi does this, Empress Dowager Gao will definitely not spare her, if the inference between her and Ah Shan about King Anping is true, then the interference in this matter is really great, it is better to tell Nie Yuansheng that you may be able to get more useful information.

At the same time, her heart moved, although Nie Yuansheng had formed an alliance with herself in private, and the matter would definitely not be tolerated by Ji Shen, but he also won Ji Shen's trust, and through Nie Yuansheng's mouth, the news that King Anping was suspected of plotting the Mu clan reached Ji Shen's ears, but it was much better than looking for an opportunity to instigate himself, and said at the moment: "That's the case, the day Your Majesty hunted tigers alone and suffered some minor injuries......"

She just said this, Nie Yuansheng, who had been standing a few steps away and had a natural demeanor, suddenly changed his face, and raised his hand to signal her to be silent!

Mu Bi knew the opportunity, immediately stopped, and was about to ask with a look, but saw Nie Yuansheng suddenly rush in front of him in a few steps, he was very good, and there was still no sound on the pine needles, Mu Biwei was signaled by him, let him grab his arm, and the two of them quickly disappeared under the tree!

After a while, more than a dozen guards appeared on the mountain path not far away, and the appearance and outline of several people in the middle were somewhat similar, and the blood relationship between them could be seen at a glance, and one of them walked up the stairs with a smile: "Min Erlang, I heard that your grandfather's filial piety period has not expired, how did you hear Your Majesty's spring hunting, so you followed out?" Don't even care about filial piety? ”

Mu Biwei, who can be hidden, heard this title, and her heart suddenly shook!

Sure enough, then a young man replied with a bit of cowardice: "Ouyang Jiulang said that he laughed, if it was me, how dare I do this?" But this time it was an edict, how dare not? ”

"Edict?" The other snorted and said disdainfully, "Although your grandfather is a second-grade Shangshu Ling, but your father and uncle are all mediocre people, with the ability of Min Shangshu, he has only sought a few idle positions for them, since your grandfather left, I have never heard of any talented people in your Min family, or do you Min Erlang think that he is the pillar of the country and deserves the affection of His Majesty?" ”

What this person said was unceremoniously, but Min Erlang didn't dare to refute it at all, and he didn't dare to speak, and the rest of the people laughed one after another.

Previously, Ouyang Jiulang said disdainfully: "What kind of beauty is the girl of the Mu family, I have naturally never seen it, but what kind of beauty is not in His Majesty's palace?" The girl of the herdsman family is just a novelty, and after a few days, His Majesty lost interest, and she dared to meddle in the Yecheng Army with only a few Tsing Yi, which is really a big joke in the world! ”

This person spoke heartily, Mu Biwei just found an errand for a few cousins of the Min family to hunt and drive in the West Pole, but in his mouth, he became a female official in the harem to interfere in the army, if this crime is confirmed, Mu Biwei can be beheaded, and the Mu family has nothing to say.

In the dark, Mu Biwei gritted her teeth when she heard it, and when she was emotional, her breath became chaotic, and she didn't want Nie Yuansheng next to her to clasp her wrist silently, regardless of her slight struggle, she wrote the word "forbearance" in her palm, Mu Bi pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and pressed it in the end.

I heard a person outside suddenly snort coldly: "Min Erlang Min Shilang, since you have received the grace of Your Majesty, you have entered the Yecheng army to serve, and you are driving here, you don't think about guarding your duties, but walk around in this palace?" Do you know that this mountain trail leads directly to the West Pole Palace, and the nobles who come here with His Majesty often play along the path. ”

As soon as he asked, Mu Biwei's breathing suddenly stopped, and he immediately understood that although he was cautious, he was spotted in the end!

And the person who designed this design is also vicious enough, and even the Min family brothers who begged Ji Shen to bring over for training have calculated it!

Mu Biwei knew that these cousins and cousins of hers were more than loyal and not enough to change, and now she could only secretly pray that the hiding place that Nie Yuansheng found in a hurry was hidden enough that no one would find out.

Sure enough, Min Erlang didn't expect the meaning of the other party's words at all, and thought that he was deliberately embarrassing him as before, so he smiled and said according to the example of always bowing his head and being a man: "But I recognized the wrong path, I wanted to take the shortest way to the place where I was on duty, and I didn't want to take the path of the nobleman's travel, thanks to the reminders of several Lang Jun......"

Although Mu Biwei knew that Min Erlang didn't have much heart, he didn't feel a sigh when he listened to it this time, and secretly said that these two cousins were really honest and excessive, even if they admitted that they were not, they wouldn't say it, this mountain path was obviously going up to the West Pole Mountain, although the guards of the guards did spread far away during hunting, and Min Erlang's Yecheng army was indeed responsible for the outermost outer, but the inner enclosure was first guarded by the Feihe Guards, and then handed away by the Yecheng army, and everyone should be familiar with the position they guarded, and even the people in several nearby places should be familiar with their faces, so as not to be mixed in by spies- What's more, today is not the first day of autumn hunting, why doesn't Min Erlang know the path of his shift?

Although Mu Biwei didn't know which place Min Erlang wanted to guard, but it wouldn't be so coincidental that it was near here, Min Erlang thought that he could settle things by following the other party's words, but he didn't want others to wait for him, and the man really said sharply: "It's nearly ten days of spring hunting, you are the person appointed by His Majesty to be on duty, how can you not even know where you are on duty?" What's more, you don't go wrong in the place next to you, but you go wrong to the mountain path that this noble man travels, and you dare to quibble! I see you've got something to hide! ”

Min Erlang didn't want to take the initiative to admit it this time, the other party still had to chase after him, when the Min family was in the past, although he was not very afraid of the family, it was because Min Rugai was deep and cunning, and for some trivial things, others didn't want to add him such an opponent in vain.

But Min Rugai knows his own family affairs from his family, he has four sons, and his great-grandchildren have two before his death, compared to the in-laws of the herdsman, although he can be regarded as a strong heir, but among these many descendants, let him teach hard, but no one is shrewd and capable enough to preside over the family business, continue the glory of the Min family, a few in-laws are certainly a little good, but Min Rugai knows that relying on others is not as good as relying on himself, if the descendants of the Min family are incompetent, and the in-laws are strong, it will only make the Min family dependent, so in order to let the children and grandchildren avoid trouble, he not only did not seek high-ranking officials for his descendants, He also deliberately did not let his children and grandchildren raise arrogance, lest there would be no one to support him after he went, and the younger generations who were used to it would cause a big incident sooner or later, and the whole family would be harmed at that time.

In this case, although Min Erlang is the second son of Changfang, he is pungent and arrogant, and he doesn't even have one-tenth of his cousin Mu Biwei......
