Concubine Duanmu and Mu Youxian returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion and sat down.

Concubine Duanmu was still a little incredulous, and read the holy decree several times, and then carefully put away the holy decree, looked at her son eagerly and asked, "Youxian, when can you move the mansion?" ”

Mu You saw that Concubine Duanmu was in a good mood, and he also smiled with his eyebrows and said, "As soon as the New Year is over, my son will take my mother and move over." ”

Now that it's the New Year, Mu Youxian doesn't want Duanmu to toss around.

Concubine Duanmu nodded again and again, and the smile on her face was even bigger. She can't wait to move out of Qianya Garden today!

Concubine Duanmu smiled and said: "Youxian, you don't have to worry about taking care of all the county king's mansions, this is not a matter of a while, wait for this...... When I move in, it's not too late to sort it out with you. ”

"You're a man, and when it comes to tidying up the house, you're not as good as me."

Concubine Duanmu boasted to herself, her delicate face was radiant, as if she had suddenly become several years younger.

Whether it's the palace or Qianyayuan, she's just a passerby, Yijun Wangfu is her home, her and her son's home!

In the future, she will no longer have to be bound by any palace rules, she will see her daughter if she wants to see her daughter, see her son if she wants to see her son, and she can guard her son and daughter-in-law to marry, and she can also help her son raise grandchildren in the future.

It doesn't get much better than that

This is the day she longs for the most!!

The more Concubine Duanmu thought about it, the more happy she became, and her eyebrows shone.

Mu Youxian relied on her for everything, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you move over, you can slowly clean up." ”

"Do you want Hanxing to come over and clean up with you?"

In fact, the mansion has long been cleaned up, and you can move over at any time.

Concubine Duanmu waved her hand in disgust, "That girl, I just want to play one out at a time, I can't let her make trouble!" ”

The mother and son talked and laughed, and Concubine Duanmu talked endlessly about moving and decorating the new home, full of interest.

Those palace people also raised their spirits one by one, and they walked with the wind, feeling that they had finally been able to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

On this day, not only Mu You appeared to be the holy decree of the king, but the fourth prince Mu Youyi was also named the king of Chengjun, and the fifth prince and the sixth prince were all named the general of the Zhenguo.

As for the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince, because they are too young, they will not be divided this time, and they will temporarily live in Qianya Garden.

Although the three princes couldn't help but be a little disappointed, seeing that their brothers were able to go to the palace and were not confined, these young princes and their biological mothers also seemed to see hope.

In addition to Wuyang and Hanxing who were named the eldest princesses, the second princess, the third princess and several other princesses were all demoted to the county lord with King Er, and the holy decree allowed him to open the county lord's mansion.

These holy decrees were like a clear spring pouring into the lifeless pool of water, and the entire Qianya Garden swept away the depression of the previous days, and the entire palace rejoiced, with a festive atmosphere for the New Year.

Many concubines living in the palace went to congratulate Concubine Duanmu and were beaming.

The old and new dynasties made a smooth transition in the first month.

After the first few days of revelry, the mood of the people gradually calmed down, returned to calm, and returned to their daily routine.

Until the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the capital became lively again, and the people began to prepare to celebrate the Lantern Festival one after another, buy lanterns, and build lantern sheds.

As the saying goes, the lantern shed is built on the twelfth day of the first month, the lanterns are on the thirteenth day of the first month, and the bright soup is bright on the fourteenth day of the first month.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is necessary to make a Lantern Festival.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Mu Yan changed into a purple civilian clothes and swaggered out of the palace, and took Duanmu Fei to go to the lantern festival in Huangjue Temple to watch the lanterns.

The Lantern Festival is one of the few days in Dasheng that does not have a curfew, and most people will go out on this night to stroll, visit relatives and friends, or go out to enjoy the lanterns. The streets are bustling with traffic.

Stalls were set up on both sides of the street, and the vendors were shouting in high spirits, and under the eaves of every house hung a big red lantern, which emitted a brilliant glow, flowing like a river of lights, and it was beautiful.

Being in the middle of it makes people's emotions rise to the top.

Duanmufei looked at the lanterns all the way, bought lanterns, and when she and Mu Yan came out after visiting the lantern festival, the two of them carried at least seven or eight lanterns in their hands.

Mu Yan looked at Duanmu Fei's radiant cheeks, the corners of his lips curled slightly, thinking that they had been walking for more than half an hour at the Lantern Festival, so he proposed: "Zhen Zhen, let's go sit in the teahouse in front of you?" ”

The night has fallen, the full moon and stars hang high in the night sky, these teahouses and restaurants have long been closed on weekdays, because today is the Lantern Festival, this teahouse is rare to do business at night, many passers-by who come to the lantern festival to enjoy the fun run to the teahouse to drink tea and rest.

Mu Yan pulled Duanmufei to the window seat on the second floor and sat down, the two drank tea while talking, Duanmufei occasionally looked down from the window at the endless flow of people below.

What to see outside the window! Mu Yan said secretly in his heart, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes blinked, and he made a pitiful appearance to attract Duanmu Fei's attention, and said: "Zhen Zhen, I've been busy these days, and I have to take three watches every day to rest." Look, have I lost a lot of weight? ”

Mu Yan tried hard to pretend to be pitiful to Duanmu.

In fact, it is still the Chinese New Year, and there is nothing urgent to deal with in the DPRK and China, and even Duanmuxian said that these days are the most free time in the past year.

Duanmu coaxed him and said, "Shall I peel an orange for you?" ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Fei picked up a fist-sized orange from the fruit bowl and peeled it.

Mu Yan nodded again and again, his heart beaming.

He couldn't pretend any longer, his dark pupils sparkling. His Zhen Zhen is so good to him!

Duanmu Fei slowly peeled the oranges, and when she peeled half of them, she suddenly remembered something, stopped the movements in her hands, leaned her face over curiously, and asked, "Is Suna good-looking?" ”

She was also afraid that Mu Yan wouldn't know who she was talking about, so she added: "It's the self-proclaimed king of Nanhuai." ”

"......" Mu Yan almost didn't bite his tongue, his phoenix eyes widened slightly, and he felt a little weak. How could Vera suddenly ask this?

Duanmu Fei opened a pair of big black and white eyes, looking at him curiously, looking at him, looking at him.

Mu Yan covered up his gaffe by pouring tea for Duanmu Fei, and he had to wonder if Duanmu Fei knew that Nan Huai had proposed to make Suna and himself reconcile, so he would ask like this.

Who told her about Suna?

Mu Yan's mind turned quickly.

It can't be big brother.

Well, who else?!

Mu Yan felt his heartbeat pounding faster, a cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck, and he said secretly: After going back today, he has to interrogate those people under him, did they really eat the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and dare to chew the root of his tongue in front of Zhen Zhen and tell right and wrong!

Mu Yan's eyes quickly flashed a sharp mang, and he asked casually, "Why did you suddenly ask about her?" ”

Duanmu Fei didn't see Mu Yan's nervousness at all.

She continued to peel the oranges again, peeled off the orange peels, and then carefully tore off the orange strings attached to the oranges, and said to herself: "Cousin Hanxing said that Suna must not look good." ”

Hanxing? Mu Yan blinked stupidly, how could this matter have anything to do with Han Xing again?

Duanmu Fei said unconsciously: "However, I don't think so, Suna may be very beautiful!" ”

"I have read some books in Huaizhou, and the books mention the Holy Fire Sect, not only about the traditions of the Holy Fire Sect, but also a chapter dedicated to the Holy Flame Sect's holy daughters, saying that the holy women are not only good at dancing and dancing, but also all of them are stunning in the world, most of them are the first beauties in Nanhuai, so Suna must be good-looking."

"I also made a bet with Hanxing, if anyone loses, they will embroider a skirt for each other with their own hands."

Duanmu Fei finally peeled the orange, split it in half, and gave it to Mu Yan in half, then leaned his little face towards Mu Yan, and asked again: "Ah Yan, why don't you speak?" Is she good-looking? ”

Although Duanmu Fei's words were a bit clueless, Mu Yan still roughly strung together the ins and outs of the matter and grasped the key characters in it.

Han Xing, it turned out that Han Xing picked it!

Thinking about it, I know that it must be Hanxing, the girl, who provoked the topic of whether Suna is beautiful or not on a whim, and then she and Zhen Zhen talked to the point of making a bet......

This question is easy to say, but it is too difficult to say that it is difficult.

"......" The corners of Mu Yan's mouth twitched, feeling that this question was too fatal to answer.

It stands to reason that of course he should help Zhen Zhen let her win this bet, but this means that he wants to say that Suna is good-looking?

That's definitely not going to work!

In other words, he can't help Zhen Zhen?

But if Zhen Zhen loses, won't she have to help Han Xing's stinky girl embroider a skirt?

No, this skirt is embroidered with a lot of effort and eyes, and he himself is reluctant to let her make clothes for him, how can it be so cheap Hanxing!

No, absolutely not. He must not help the abuse!

Mu Yan said to himself in his heart, entangled for a while.

Besides, he didn't know what Suna looked like for a long time!

Mu Yan took half of the oranges from Duanmufei's hand, ate the orange petals almost ventingly, and muttered in his heart: Hanxing, this girl is married, and she is not good at home, why don't you do good things all day long!

Mu Yan secretly pondered that he wanted to get more errands for Li Tingyou!

But the thought just came to mind, and when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong.

If Li Tingyou has too many errands, wouldn't Han Xing be even more idle, she is idle in the house, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that she will come to Zhen Zhen to play again!

So......

Mu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea.

By the way, he should give Li Tingyou a big vacation, let him take good care of his daughter-in-law, and don't make trouble for himself all day long!

"......" Duanmu Fei looked at him innocently, waiting for him to answer.

And Mu Yan's forehead was already throbbing, and she was desperately thinking about how to divert her attention.

At this moment, a burst of "pedaling" footsteps came from the direction of the stairs, and Xiao Er came up with an old man and a young man.

The old man has gray hair, his old face is covered with the marks of time, and he holds an erhu in his hand; The young one was a girl, sixteen or seventeen years old at most, wearing a cyan plain gown, a simple quilt, and only a pair of pink velvet flowers between her sideburns, and her appearance was quite delicate and lovely.

Look at the appearance of this old man and young man, it seems that he is singing a little song to people in a teahouse restaurant.

Mu Yan hurriedly proposed, "Zhen Zhen, do you want to call them to sing a little song for us?" ”

Duanmu Fei also looked at the old man and the young man, his eyes lit up, and his attention was diverted.

Xiao Er is a clever person, although he didn't hear what Mu Yan said, but looking at the looks of these two guests, he knew that they were interested in listening to Xiaoqu, so he brought an old man and a young man over.

Xiao Er asked with a smile: "Childe, girl, do you want to listen to a little song?" ”

Mu Yan nodded in response, then looked at Duanmu Fei and asked her to order a tune.

Duanmu asked with great interest, "What will you sing?" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi smiled, blessed Duanmu Fei, and said generously: "Back to the girl, I usually listen to those "A Cut Plum", "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", "Long Hate Song", "Poppy Beauty" and the like, my grandfather and I can play and sing. Recently, there are some new tunes in Beijing, such as "Qunfang" and "Peony Fu", which can also be sung by slaves. ”

"It depends on what the girl and the son want to hear."

As he spoke, the old man had already sat down on a chair next to him with his erhu in his arms.

Duanmu Fei casually picked a new song: "Then sing "Peony Fu". She turned her head and said to Mu Yan with a smile, "I haven't heard this new song yet." ”

Mu Yan followed Duanmu Fei.

Seeing that this business is done, Xiao Er is also beautiful, he is naturally not a patron for the old and the young, they have been rewarded, and Xiao Er can also share a share.

After a while, the melodious and tactful erhu sound sounded under the old man's strings, accompanied by the crisp singing voice of the girl in Tsing Yi, the grandparents and grandchildren cooperated tacitly, and the music and singing were just right, which made people immerse themselves in it.

The sound of singing spread from the window to the street outside, and some passers-by stopped, and a few people simply entered the teahouse and went up to the second floor to listen to the song.

Xiao Er was even happier, and was busy greeting new customers.

Duanmu Fei listened to the song and nodded slightly from time to time, this girl's voice is good, and the song is also good.

This "Peony Fu" is indeed a new song, Duanmu Fei is sure that he has never heard it before, and he listens more seriously.

Mu Yan saw that Duanmu Fei was engaged in listening, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had escaped a catastrophe.

He pondered in his heart again, when he went back, he still had to warn a few subordinates, so that they must not mention that Suna to the outside world again.

Mu Yan thought as he diligently peeled the oranges for Duanmu Fei, like her, and carefully peeled the oranges clean.

Duanmu scarlet ate the oranges peeled by Mu Yan with a smile, his brows moved, and his little face was crooked thoughtfully.

Obviously, she was sure that it was the first time she had heard this song, but for some reason, she vaguely felt that the melody of this song was inexplicably familiar, like ......

Duanmu Fei listened more attentively, and his small mouth did not stop, eating sweet and juicy oranges.

Wait a moment, just a song.

The old man and the maiden bowed to them.

Duanmu asked the girl in Tsing Yi curiously: "Girl, do you know who composed this song?" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi was blessed again, and replied with a smile: "Back girl, it's Yunzhongjun." The music he composed was very popular in Beijing with those literati and scholars. ”

Mu Yan saw that Duanmu Fei was interested, so he proposed: "Zhen Zhen, do you want to listen to another song?" ”

While speaking, Mu Yan also quickly rewarded the old man with a silver coin.

The old man was overjoyed to accept the reward, squinted his eyes with a smile, hugged the erhu and thanked him again and again: "Thank you son, thank you girl." "This silver coin is worth a month's income for them.

"Girl, this Yunzhongjun hasn't composed any other tunes yet?" Duanmu asked curiously, his fingertips rubbing against the white porcelain embossed teacup in his hand.

The girl in Tsing Yi had just received their reward, and her answer was more respectful and detailed: "Girl, Yun Zhongjun has composed a lot of tunes in the past year, such as "Qunfang", "Cinnabar Tears", "Qingdaimei", etc., all of which are composed by him. ”

Duanmu raised his eyebrows and chose a song at random: "Then you can sing another song "Qingdaimei". ”

The old man hurriedly hugged the erhu and sat back again.

Then, the clear and beautiful erhu sound sounded again, the previous "Peony Fu" tune was tactful and solemn, and this song "Qing Dai Mei" was another tune, lingering, soft and soft.

After the old and young people finished singing the song "Qing Dai Mei", there were seven or eight more tea guests on the second floor of the teahouse, which was a lot more lively.

At the end of the song, the tea guests applauded continuously, full of praise, and several tea guests also generously rewarded the pair of grandchildren.

Mu Yan casually sent the pair of ancestors and grandchildren away, and then looked at Duanmu Fei curiously and asked, "Zhen Zhen, what's wrong?" ”

The grandparents did not leave the teahouse, and another table of tea guests called them over to perform.

Suddenly, the old man's erhu sound sounded again, this time they played and sang an old song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", the girl has a good voice, singing this song, it is also a unique charm.

Duanmu Fei looked at the backs of the old man and the girl not far away, and said lightly: "I listened to Fang Cai's two songs "Peony Fu" and "Qing Dai Mei" and felt a sense of familiarity. ”

Just as a person has his own handwriting, just as a person has his own unique habits in choosing words and sentences, the same is true for composing music.

Duanmu Fei is about eighty or ninety percent sure that this Yunzhongjun is Fu Yingxuan.

It's a pity that these two pieces are good, but they don't help.

Duanmu Fei had also heard before that Fu Yingxuan had sneaked out of Jingxin Nunnery, and her whereabouts were unknown, and even the Fu family didn't know where she had gone. As for what happened to Fu Yingxuan later, Duanmufei didn't pay attention to it.

Duanmu Fei retracted his gaze and looked at Mu Yan again.

Mu Yan didn't forget who Fu Yingxuan was at all, for fear that Duanmu Fei would ask something to send a proposition again, so he changed the topic: "Zhen Zhen, it's almost time, we should go." ”

Mu Yan actually just said it in passing, Duanmu Fei nervously hurriedly went to look at the pocket watch, only to find that it was the beginning of the year, and immediately stood up.

The two settled the account and left the teahouse in a hurry.

At this moment, there are more people on the street, bustling, and the faces of the people are full of spring breeze, most of them bring their families with their mouths, talking and laughing:

"The lantern festival of Huangjue Temple is about to start, right?"

"Daddy, can we see the new emperor today? I don't know what the emperor looks like. ”

"I heard that the new emperor is not yet twenty years old, so he must be young and heroic."

"That's that! The emperor won Huaizhou before the weak crown, that he was heroic and extraordinary, I heard that the emperor was more than eight feet long, with a large waist and ten girths, and his courage was unparalleled. ”

“……”

The more the people on the road talked, the more energetic they became, and they almost said that Mu Yan was a powerful giant.

The sound of those conversations also more or less penetrated Duanmu's ears, making her laugh non-stop.

Mu Yan only smiled at himself. Anyway, Zhen Zhen is happy!

Today is the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, according to the customs of previous years, today the emperor and queen will take the emperor's relatives and noble ministers out of the palace, come to the lantern festival around the Huangjue Temple to enjoy the lanterns, watch the fireworks, and have fun with the people.

It's an annual event.

Last year's Lantern Festival was canceled because of the stroke of the abolished emperor Mu Jianming, and this year, Mu Yan thought it was too expensive, so he planned to cancel this tradition, so he sneaked out and took Duanmu Fei to see the lanterns.

However, this year is the first year of Mu Yan's ascension to the throne, and several cabinet ministers feel that it is better to continue the tradition, after all, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the people are also looking forward to seeing the emperor, which can be inspiring and inspiring.

The people have been looking forward to this year's Lantern Festival for a long time, and if Mu Yan cancels it temporarily, the people will inevitably be disappointed.

Therefore, Mu Yan responded, but ordered the cabinet to reduce spending as much as possible and reduce the scale of the lantern festival.

It was also for this reason that Mu Yan sneaked out of the palace early today, first took Duanmu Fei to see the lanterns, and then, he had to lead his ministers to enjoy the lanterns with the people. When there are many people and eyes, it is inevitable that you will be constrained and will not be able to have fun.

The two rode horses, galloped all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the palace in the middle of the hour.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites led by Fan Peizhong had been waiting there for a long time, and they were anxious, and they also made people look in front of them several times, for fear that this unreliable new emperor would not be able to escape temporarily, and it would be difficult to end.

"Your Majesty, you're finally here!"

Seeing that Mu Yan had finally arrived in time, Fan Peizhong and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Naturally, they also saw Duanmu Fei, and someone exclaimed: "Duanmu four girls!" ”

None of the officials of the Ministry of Rites expected Duanmu Fei to come, they were all shocked and looked at each other.

At this moment, their minds were all synchronized: the new emperor was really unreliable!

Even if he wants to bring the four girls of Duanmu with him, if he talks to them in advance, he will scare people!

If they are so frightened by him, sooner or later they will get heart disease!

Fan Peizhong settled down and asked, "Where will the fourth girl of Duanmu sit for a while?" ”

It stands to reason that Duanmu Fei can be with the daughters of the courtiers and the daughters of the nobles.

Mu Yan said as a matter of course: "Of course sit with me." ”

Does this need to be said?!

Mu Yan glanced at Fan Peizhong with disgusted eyes, and felt that this person was really eyeless!

The corners of Fan Peizhong's eyes twitched, and he almost didn't throw off his sleeves and left, thinking angrily: Love to sit or not! I don't care!

After thinking about it, Fan Peizhong still obediently went to work.

Today's Lantern Festival is also the first time that the new emperor has appeared in public for the people to admire, naturally it can't be too casual, Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei need to change into formal dresses.

Mu Yan's crown has long been prepared, and Duanmu Fei's dress is not a problem.

So, when the auspicious time came, Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei, who had changed their clothes, came hand in hand, and Duanmu Xian, who was at the front of the ministers, looked at his granddaughter dumbfounded.

"......" Duanmu Xian was dumbfounded, so shocked that his jaw almost didn't drop. How could the little granddaughter be here?!

Huang Siren, the secretary of the military department on the side, smiled and complimented: "Lord Duanmu, the emperor really values the four girls, and his granddaughter is really a blessing!" ”

"Hehe......" Duanmu Xian showed a hypocritical smirk, his eyes glared at Mu Yan fiercely, and he scolded: This stinky boy is really shameless!

Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei quickly walked in front of Long Yuan.

"See the emperor, long live long live!"

All the ministers bowed their heads and saluted.

After that, Fan Peizhong hesitated and asked: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived, do you want to leave now?" ”

The reason why Fan Peizhong hesitated was because he saw that Cen Yin did not come, but Cen Yin has always acted recklessly, and no one dared to care if he came or not.

Mu Yan responded with his head and personally helped Duanmu to get on the dragon chariot.

Those courtiers and nobles also got into the carriage one after another, and many carriages and horses surrounded Long Yuan and set off under the escort of a group of forbidden troops, and the destination was naturally the lantern festival on the side of Huangjue Temple.

Along the way, the people welcomed the road, and the forbidden army cleared the road in advance, and the convoy traveled unimpeded all the way.

The closer to the Huangjue Temple, the denser the flow of people on the road, those people are all looking at Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei on the dragon chariot with excited expressions, talking nonsense, from time to time you can hear words such as "Emperor", "Wise Shenwu", "Purple Microstar Falling from the Sky", a lively and noisy.

General Zhenguo is a kind of title of the clan, second to the king of the county, and is not really a "general".
