Duan Shengyi never imagined that the soup he had worked so hard to stew was finally discarded by Mu Churan and ordered Xiao Dezi, and Duan Heng never imagined that the precious medicinal materials he had worked so hard to find from all over the country would be wasted like this.

Xiao He quietly looked at Mu Churan in front of him, his tongue was injured, which just relieved the embarrassment, and he didn't need to say anything.

Xiao He sullenly finished handling the official business at hand, put down the brush in his hand and prepared to leave the palace, but found that it was getting late outside, and before he knew it, it was dark.

For an entire day, she didn't say a word.

Xiao He stood up and straightened his sleeves, ready to go out, but was stopped by Mu Churan.

"Wait a minute."

"Huh?" Xiao He turned his head, it was strange to say, was there really so much official business that Mu Churan needed to deal with recently? Why didn't you put down the pen in your hand so late?

"Here, it's a girl with an innocent family background in the city, and the portrait will be sent over tomorrow, so take a look at it first." Mu Churan looked helpless and handed over the rice paper in his hand.

Xiao He took the rice paper handed over by Mu Churan, and it could be seen that the person who wrote was very hard, and the ink penetrated a few pages of paper, making the entire rice paper in his hand very wet, didn't he want to let himself get married? Why do you have to look for a girl in the city?

Xiao He couldn't open his mouth, shook his head at Mu Churan, and picked up the pen that Mu Churan put next to the inkstone.

I'm not going to marry.

Xiao He smiled at Mu Churan.

"Xiao He," Mu Churan stood up and hugged Xiao He beside him into his arms, "Can you not leave and accompany me here?" I just want to keep looking at you. ”

Xiao He was tightly held in Mu Churan's arms, feeling the unique aura on his body, and nodded quietly, "Hmm." ”

Mu Churan's study is very high, and sitting on the roof, he can see almost the entire capital.

Sitting here, you can see the star-picking tower that day to admire the moon, you can see the lights in the whole capital, the houses outside seem to be very low, the streets and houses are very separated, and the lights on the night market street in the distance are very bright, as if some event is being held, and a lot of people gather.

"Say, what are the people doing over there?" Xiao He didn't speak, just quietly looked into the distance in a daze, Mu Churan didn't hear Xiao He's reply for a long time, and turned his head to stare at her suspiciously.

Since he was a child, countless people have praised him because of his appearance, and he has always been proud of his appearance, but the person in front of him, that kind of cold temperament, delicate facial features, and soft eyebrows and eyes, really made Mu Churan feel that the person in front of him was an ethereal fairy.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on Xiao He's face, like an immortal.

If it weren't for the person in front of her who really appeared in front of her, she could reach out and touch it, Mu Churan would really feel that she was a phantom.

I was stunned for a long time before I remembered that Xiao He's tongue had just been burned, and now he couldn't speak at all.

Mu Churan took her into his arms with his hand, and pulled Xiao He's thoughts back at once.

"I've seen so many portraits of women in the city in the past few days, and I still think that there is no woman in this world who is worthy of you." Mu Churan tightened his arms and hugged Xiao He even tighter in his arms.

"Qingwan left the place I arranged for her, she already knew about Cheng Qianqiu, she didn't blame me for being an elder brother, she asked me for a few people, went to Cheng Qianqiu's hometown to find him, and the queen mother is coming back soon."

Mu Churan looked at Xiao He in front of him, "I envy them so much, maybe Qingwan will be able to be with Cheng Qianqiu if they go like this, and when they come back, I will give them marriage, and if they have a lover, they will eventually become married, but I am different, I can't make my lover public." ”

Wife? In Mu Churan's heart, is he already Mu Churan's lover? Xiao He shook his head helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Churan's quiet and deep eyes fell on Xiao He, all the light could be collected by him in his eyes, and Xiao He even felt that the whole world was in his eyes.

"Actually, I left those women in the palace just to contain their family's power, as long as they are in the palace, people outside will not dare to act rashly, it's not ......"

Xiao He didn't know what to say, and there was no way to say anything, so she subconsciously drilled into Mu Churan's arms again, she was really greedy for Mu Churan's arms, greedily, and wanted to stay by his side forever.

……

Leng Qingchen quickly returned to the palace, and Duan Shengyi was the first to enter the Yongshou Palace to visit the Queen Mother.

"Auntie, Sheng Yi heard that my aunt returned to the palace and came to pay a visit."

Leng Qingjian's maid was pressing the acupuncture points on her head, Leng Qingchen didn't even open her eyes, and opened her mouth faintly, "Sheng Yi, you have become a concubine now, and it's time to change your words." ”

Duan Shengyi smiled lightly: "Queen Mother." ”

Leng Qingchen opened his eyes and sat up, "You are a smart child, everyone in this palace knows that I was confined to the Yongshou Palace by Ran'er, and it was forbidden for the mourning family to go out of here, and no one came to visit the mourning family after returning to the palace, and you are the same, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, just say it directly, there is no need to detour." ”

Duan Shengyi originally wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect Leng Qingzhen to get straight to the point and directly let her tell the purpose of the visit.

Duan Shengyi bought off the little eunuch who stayed in the study every day, and then he knew that Xiao He actually slept in the same room with the emperor every day, and when the two of them were alone, they didn't let anyone in, things had developed like this, how could she not think about it.

Originally, the relationship between Mu Churan and Xiao He was not ordinary, every time they left the palace, they would take him with them, and now they get along every day, Mu Churan didn't even enter the harem, I was afraid that it would be ...... There is really something unspeakable, and the current Xiao He is his biggest opponent.

"Queen Mother, do you know that the current Prime Minister Xiao He Xiao now lives with the emperor every day and sleeps in the ...... In the emperor's warm pavilion. Duan Shengyi looked at the cold light marks in front of him and expressed his concerns.

"What?" Leng Qingchen's eyes widened suddenly, "Xiao He and Ran'er live together?" ”

Obviously, Leng Qingchen knew the seriousness of the problem at once, the royal family of Yin State has never had a precedent for any male concubine, even in this country, the feelings between men are considered to be unethical, if Mu Churan insists on doing this, the things to face after that will not be so simple.

"That's why Sheng Yi came to the queen mother to discuss this matter, if it really spreads, I'm afraid the face of this royal family will definitely be damaged."

……

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu has an excerpt, saying that it is to rebuild the royal ancestral hall, and Mu Churan needs to go to the field to check it, and the talents of the Ministry of Industry are ready to rebuild, so Mu Churan went to the place where the ancestral hall is located.

"This ancestral hall is on fire and you have a lot to do with it, don't you really want to take a look?" Mu Churan felt that Xiao He had accepted himself from the bottom of his heart, and he hated to take him everywhere, and he would not let her leave his sight for a moment.

Xiao He's tongue was already better, but it still hurt when he spoke, so he shook his head gently, picked up the official document at hand, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

Mu Churan saw that she didn't have the heart to go, so he didn't force her, "Then that's it, I'll go back when I go." ”

"Lord Xiao, just now Concubine Xian Niangniang sent a message and wanted to invite you to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, I heard that it was the meaning of the Queen Mother."

Flowers? The last time the Queen Mother invited herself to her palace to enjoy the flowers, she didn't have any good intentions, and now her marriage contract with Mu Qingwan has been canceled, and the whole palace is full of female dependents, what is there worth paying attention to about the Queen Mother? Mu Qingwan didn't come back with her, and if she went now, she wouldn't even have anyone around to protect her.

So this time, what is the purpose of the Queen Mother letting herself go? There are a lot of female dependents around her, but she is the only "man", in that environment, doesn't it seem very abrupt?

But since the Queen Mother had personally sent someone to pass the word, there was no way to refuse, helplessly, Xiao He had no choice but to obey her will, whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he could only take one step at a time.

Xiao He's tongue has not fully recovered, and he feels very painful when he says two words, so he has no choice but to write on paper.

Let me get ready, and I'll be right away.

After all, Leng Qingchen is Mu Churan's biological mother, and now, Mu Churan's harem has so many concubines, and she, the queen mother, naturally becomes important, after all, as long as she is still there, the lord of the harem will not be these women who have just entered the palace.

Xiao He greeted the eighteenth generation of Mu Churan's ancestors in his heart, when is this Mu Churan going out, it is not good, but at this time, he is just in time to catch up with himself in the study, and he really doesn't know how to deal with it now.

Duan Shengyi has always had bad intentions towards herself, obviously she is a man, and it will not affect her status at all, she has already entered the palace and become a concubine, and she is still not ready to let him go. Xiao He changed his clothes, tidied up a little, and walked over to the back garden of the little eunuch beside him.

The weather is terrible, and she really doesn't know why these women who stay in the harem still have the heart to enjoy the flowers.

Stuffy, this is Xiao He's first feeling after leaving the study. Mu Churan is the emperor, the gold is very expensive, there is a heating stove in the study in winter, and some ice cubes are put in the summer, I heard that a deep well in the palace is dug very deep and freezes all year round, so Mu Churan can enjoy such treatment in summer.

But fortunately, Xiao He has been staying in Mu Churan's study, but he has been stained with him.

The weather was already hot, and when he saw the dressed women sitting in the pavilion, Xiao He felt that he was even hotter, his eyes were full of red and purple, and the concubines of each palace were interspersed with all kinds of flowers, which dazzled her.
