"Big brother."

Mu Qingwan saluted Lu Liang, five years have passed, this senior brother looks much older, not like he was in high spirits five years ago, and he has a sense of depression.

"I am Mr. Qingyun's newly accepted disciple, and I should call you Senior Brother. The teacher informed me that you were afraid of danger on the road, and asked me to pick you up. ”

Mu Qingwan explained to Lu Liang.

"There is Senior Brother Lao."

Lu Liang figured out the reason and bowed down to Mu Qingwan with a big salute.

"Senior brother, wait first, we'll set off later, and go directly by water, it's safer."

Mu Qingwan took the person directly to the dock, and then met Luo Zheng, who was waiting there, and took the person onto the boat.

"Why did Senior Brother leave in such a hurry? Can anyone still chase and kill on the road? ”

After packing up, Mu Qingwan went to Lu Liang's cabin to chat.

"The junior brother doesn't know, the current court battle is very fierce, and now the eldest prince and the fourth prince are divided into two factions, and we and others are neutral factions, and it is really difficult to gain a foothold. The landscape is already in decline, so I wrote to my teacher in the hope of returning to Qingyun Academy, which was really a helpless move. ”

Lu Liang sighed helplessly.

Mu Qingwan looked at Lu Liang's current appearance and didn't know what to say. With a simple dress and a beard, he looks like a gentleman from the academy, where would anyone have thought that this person was the famous prime minister of Buyi back then.

"Senior brother, take a good rest first, and send someone to find me if I need it."

Mu Qingwan said goodbye to Lu Liang.

The boat will go directly from Xingyang to Qinghe, and then make a carriage from Qinghe to Taiyuan, be careful not to let people find out in the middle, and you need to make some more arrangements.

Standing on the deck, Mu Qingwan remembered the information that Su Lan had passed on to her.

The situation in the capital is even worse than what Lu Liang said.

Emperor Jianye still has not yet been crowned king, and many adult princes have stayed in the capital. Emperor Jianye is still the same as Mu Qingwan has seen before, less of the majesty of the superior, more like the noble son of a family, whether it is court affairs or the prince's struggle for power and profit, he has always been unhurried, and the princes and princesses of the harem are still being born, much more than five years ago.

The contradiction between the eldest prince and the fourth prince has risen to the surface, and the pair has a fierce fight with their mother and brothers, constantly accepting party members and installing their own people in the court.

The worst thing is that the rightful heir, the crown prince, is getting worse and worse, especially in the past six months, the imperial doctor has almost been stationed in the prince's mansion, and many people are not optimistic about the prince, especially the prince still has no son-in-law. As for the prince's maternal grandfather's family, Yun Taishifu, there is no metamorphosis at this time, and it is no wonder that Empress Yun and Concubine De are both daughters of Taishifu, so no matter which prince wins in the end, Yun Taishifu will be the new emperor's foreign family. Because of this, the Yun Taishi Mansion did not express its support for any prince.

The other son-in-law, Jing Li, is already far away from the border, far away from the capital, and far away from the center of the power struggle.

Therefore, the imperial court was divided, and basically stood in the name of the eldest prince or the fourth prince.

"Who are you?"

When Mu Qingwan was thinking about something, a little boy approached Mu Qingwan's side, and before she got close, Mu Qingwan had actually noticed it, but she didn't make a sound.

"I'm your father's younger brother, but it's uncomfortable to take a boat?"

It was Lu Liang's sister-in-law who was talking to Mu Qingwan, Lu Qifang, and Mu Qingwan saw that his face was a little pale, so he asked.

"I'm fine, it's just the first time on the boat, a little nauseous, the boatman said I was seasick, let me come out to breathe. What were you just looking at? ”

Lu Qifang is about eight or nine years old, and his appearance is three points similar to Lu Liang's, Lu Liang's appearance is ordinary, but the little son's appearance is more outstanding, Mu Qingwan guessed that it may be because of his mother, after all, Mrs. Lu has also seen it, the little jasper looks much better than Lu Liang.

"Just take a look, I'll have someone bring you some sour plums later, and when you feel uncomfortable, eat some."

"Thank you."

The little boy politely saluted Mu Qingwan and thanked him.

"My son wants it too!"

A little boy of about the same size suddenly appeared, looking at Mu Qingwan and asking for it, followed by a little girl who looked exactly the same. These two were born from Lu Liang's concubines and were twins.

"Did you hear me? My brother asked you to bring it to him! ”

The little girl was commanding and staring at Mu Qingwan angrily.

"I'll let someone deliver it to you later."

The twin brothers and sisters are very rude, Mu Qingwan is unwilling to deal with children, besides, this kind of child, ignoring and letting them act is the greatest revenge for them.

"Hmph."

The brother and sister made a grimace at Mu Qingwan and the others, and then walked away triumphantly.

"I'm sorry brother, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother and sister."

Lu Qifang bent over and apologized to Mu Qingwan.

Mu Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything, it was just someone else's housework.

"You're young, let's go into the cabin in a moment, don't blow the disease."

Mu Qingwan didn't stay too long, and left back to her cabin.

The rest of the time, Mu Qingwan rarely went out, and most of the time, it was Luo Zheng who came in to report to Mu Qingwan about the things on the boat.

Two days later, the group arrived at Qinghe, blended into the caravan, and set off for Taiyuan.

It was like the most normal caravan, and it was also an official road, and in the end, Mu Qingwan smoothly brought people to Mr. Qingyun.

"Sister-in-law, how are you doing recently?"

Back at her house, Mu Qingwan went to her sister-in-law's house to talk.

"Goo, think, Ping'er."

Before the sister-in-law could speak, Mu Ping staggered onto Mu Qingwan's lap and looked at Mu Qingwan pitifully.

"Yo, what's wrong with our Ping'er? Got the Golden Beans back? Tell your aunt, who bullied you? ”

Mu Qingwan nodded Mu Ping's little nose and teased him.

"Yes, Goo-goo."

"Hehe, my aunt also wants to be peaceful. My aunt brought a gift for Ping'er back, look at this. ”

Mu Qingwan's cloth ball with bells and colored silk in his hand shook in front of Mu Ping's eyes, and the little guy was immediately attracted to his eyes and couldn't take his eyes off.

"Qingwan, you're back, Ping'er really can't even eat these days, why do you say this kid likes to pester you so much?"

The sister-in-law shook her head helplessly.

"Sister-in-law is jealous, haha."

Mu Qingwan quipped.

"I plan to go back to the capital in a few days, Ah Lan and Cheng Yue have stabilized here, and I plan to go back in a few days."

The sister-in-law told Mu Qingwan about her plans.

"It's okay, I guess my brother misses you too."

"You."

Mu Qingwan's quipping words made the sister-in-law with a hearty personality immediately blush.

"I'm here to pick you up and go back with me, and my father and mother are worried about you."

The sister-in-law asked this tentatively, but in fact, she didn't understand why this sister-in-law didn't go back to the capital.

"Okay, I'll go back with you!"

Mu Qingwan thought about it and replied to her sister-in-law firmly.
