After the banquet was over, it was the middle of the moon.

Left Prime Minister's House.

"Brother Six Emperors." Nangong Jinze was no one else, it was Ye Zichen who was dressed in white and covered with snow, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on him, showing a hazy beauty.

Ye Zichen's true identity is Nangong Jinchen, the sixth prince of Yun Kingdom.

Ye Zichen looked at him, the frost in his eyes melted a little, but his voice was as cold as ever: "I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to harm, ninth brother?" ”

Seeing the imperial brother who he hadn't seen for a long time, Nangong Jinze couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and said: "Jinze is all right, the mother concubine is also very good, the father has not done anything to her, the sixth emperor brother doesn't have to worry." ”

Ye Zichen nodded, and was also a lot relieved, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a light smile, "The mother concubine has been taken care of by the ninth brother all these years. Ye Zichen's words are truly grateful from the bottom of his heart, he is far away from his homeland, if it weren't for Nangong Jinze, I don't know how difficult it would be for the concubine to endure in that deep palace.

"Why do the Sixth Emperor Brothers need to be polite, this is my business, and the Sixth Emperor Brother's words are really outward." Nangong Jinze pretended to be dissatisfied.

Nangong Jinze and Ye Zichen are good, and it is not completely without reason. Nangong Jinze was only born to a maid in the harem, and he was born without a mother, and his brothers and sisters looked down on him, scolded him as a servant, and often bullied him.

And once when he was bullied, Ye Zichen stepped forward and took him away, and warned those people not to bully him again, at that time, Ye Zichen's mother, Concubine Jing, was in full swing, and everyone didn't dare to offend, so they let Ye Zichen take him away.

Ye Zichen brought Nangong Jinze to Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing was kind-hearted, and when she saw that he was pitiful and well-behaved, she took him by her side and raised him personally, treating him as good as her parents and children, and then no one dared to bully him anymore.

Nangong Jinze has always been thinking of this kindness, although the emperor did not justifiably pass him on to Concubine Jing, but he has always called Concubine Jing's mother, even if Concubine Jing fell out of favor later, he still treats Concubine Jing like his own mother, and the relationship with Yezichen is also very good.

"It's just that she misses you very much, and she often mutters in her mouth, when will the Sixth Emperor Brother return to China?" Nangong Jinze had a hint of expectation.

"The ninth brother should know that this matter is not something I can control." Ye Zichen said lightly, but inadvertently with some self-deprecation and unwillingness.

"I didn't expect it, my father is really ruthless." Nangong Jinze sighed, "Over the years, my father was afraid that we would compete with the four emperor brothers for the throne, and he had been suppressing us concubines. ”

Nangong Jinze has no family affection for this father, he knows that when his father was still the crown prince, the emperor's grandfather wanted to abolish his justifiable position as the prince because of the son born to a favorite concubine. Therefore, the father has no feelings for those sons of concubines, and he hates the competition between concubines and concubines the most.

He sometimes feels really ironic, since he doesn't like it, why do he want to live with those concubines?

"Huh. His ruthlessness, you and I didn't know it for the first day. Ye Zichen sneered.

For the third child, he has no feelings, but the eldest brother Nangong Jinyu still has some affection for him. The eldest brother was nearly eight years older than him, and he took good care of their younger brothers when he was a child, even if he himself had always been unlikable to his father.

Because Nangong Jinyu was an accident when Yunhuang Nangong Yue Peng was still in the East Palace, for this matter, the first emperor also reprimanded Nangong Yue Peng, so Nangong Yue Peng has always looked at Nangong Jinyu unpleasantly. After ascending the throne, he casually found a crime and exiled him.

Nangong Jinze didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and asked about another matter: "The imperial brother agreed to marry the princess of Changning today, and the imperial brother will return to China in the future, how should I settle her?" ”

"We'll talk about that later." Because he didn't know it now, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have a different emotion towards Mu Ranyue. But what that emotion was, he didn't know.

Speaking of Mu Ranyue, Nangong Jinze suddenly remembered the incident that shocked him: "Does the imperial brother know who the man next to Princess Changning is today?" ”

"Murong Heng, the second son of Murong Villa, what's wrong?" Ye Zichen wondered.

"When the imperial brother returned to the palace that year, the fourth imperial brother was not in the palace, so you haven't seen the fourth imperial brother. And today, that Murong Heng was born exactly the same as the Fourth Emperor Brother, except for the different temperaments on their bodies, the two of them are like the same person! ”

"What? How can there be exactly the same people in this world? Even if he was as calm as Ye Zichen, he was shocked by the news.

"I'm also very strange, but the world is so big, could it be just a coincidence?" Nangong Jinze speculated.

Ye Zichen thought about it, and then denied: "Impossible, if the two are only seven or eight points similar, it is still possible." And you just said that it is exactly the same, then there is only one possibility, these two are twins. ”

"What?" Nangong Jinze's eyes widened, "How is it possible!" ”

Ye Zichen explained lightly: "You know, neither of the twins can inherit the throne. ”

Nangong Jinze instantly understood: "What does the imperial brother mean is that the queen gave birth to twins, and she ruthlessly threw away the other one in order to let her son inherit the throne?" But if this is discovered one day, won't the position of the prince of the four emperor brothers still be lost? ”

Ye Zichen nodded, and said, "So this is just speculation, and this matter has yet to be verified." ”

"Brother Huang is right."

"It's not too early, the ninth brother will go back first."

"Then take care of the royal brother."

Ye Zichen bowed his head slightly.

After Nangong Jinze left, Ye Zichen called Han Sheng, "Did you hear what you said just now?" ”

Han Sheng nodded.

"Send someone to find out." Ye Zichen ordered.

"Yes, Lord."

"Lord, do you really want to marry Princess Changning?" Han Sheng asked.

Ye Zichen was silent, but Han Sheng could see that this was a tacit acquiescence.

Han Sheng was a little surprised, and thinking about his master's attitude towards Mu Ranyue in recent days, he couldn't help asking, "Lord, don't you think you are too close to this Princess Changning?" ”

"Really? Maybe it's because of her use value. Ye Zichen said this with some uncertainty. Since they met that day, he has had a little different emotions towards her in his heart, and he can't say what kind of emotions it is.

And when others mentioned Mu Ranyue in front of him, that emotion would become more and more obvious, and it seemed that it was not under his control at all.

He somewhat hated the feeling of being out of his grasp, so he didn't want to talk about it. With a wave of his hand, Han Sheng stepped back, and then buried himself in the matter at hand, so as to get rid of those distractions.

Three days later.

Today is the day Ye Xun returns to China, and it is also the day Mu Qingwu gets married. Mu Qingwu wears a phoenix crown on her head, and her red dress is bright and flamboyant, showing her pride and confidence as a princess of a country.

At the gate of the palace, Concubine Yin and Mu Ruiyuan both came to see her off in person. Yin Guifei had tears in her eyes, "Wu'er, this farewell, our mother and daughter don't know when they will see each other again." ”

Mu Qingwu was also very reluctant, held back her tears, and comforted Concubine Yin: "Mother doesn't have to be like this. The daughter is married to be the queen, the mother of the past, and the mother should be proud of her daughter. As for this meeting, I believe there will still be a chance in the future. Isn't it, Your Majesty? She turned to Ye Xun.

"Naturally, I will take the princess back to my mother country in the future, and Emperor Chu and the concubine don't have to worry." Ye Xun said.

Mu Ruiyuan nodded, and admonished Mu Qingwu: "If you marry Yan Country, you are a member of Yan Country, you have to know your identity, but you also have to take good care of yourself." ”

"Yes, son-in-law, remember, thank you for your father's teachings." Mu Qingwu knelt down and said goodbye: "Sons and daughters bid farewell to their father, queen mother, and concubine." Then he got up and followed Ye Xun into the carriage. Mu Ruiyuan and Yin Guifei helped her up, and the two watched her leave with their backs, full of bitterness and reluctance.

As Ye Xun's ceremonial drive got farther and farther away, the two also turned around and went back to the palace.

Murong Heng, who had been playing with Mu Ranyue in the palace for a few days, was also going back to Murong Villa, and Murong Heng persuaded Mu Ranyue to return to Murong Villa again, but he didn't agree before, and now Mu Ranyue won't agree. Her father's health is so bad, how can she leave? Besides, she is also getting married.

Mu Ranyue and Murong Heng rode their horses to the city gate together, she stopped and said, "Cousin, I'll send it here." Take care of yourself, and say hello to my uncle on my behalf. Tell my uncle that I am waiting for him to come to my wedding. ”

As soon as Murong Heng heard the word wedding, his heart, which had finally calmed down these days, suddenly tingled again. He endured the pain and said, "Okay, you also take care, I'm leaving." ”

Murong Heng didn't want to look at her anymore, it would only make him hurt even more, so he rode his horse away directly.

Mu Ranyue looked at his departing back motionlessly, feeling sad and guilty. But the emotional thing is like this, she is destined to lose his affection.

After Murong Heng left, Mu Ranyue hit the horse and returned. She did not return to the palace, but went to the Yasukuni Mansion.
