In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just dawning, most of the people were still asleep, and the Lanson Place was quiet, the red lanterns were swaying in the wind, and the glass lamps were lit all night, leaving only the remaining candles standing quietly in the lamps.

In the quiet room, the sound of the woman's even breathing came from the mahogany incense couch, and the stunning face was so delicate and cute in her sleep, her eyes were closed, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling.

I don't know how long it took, the woman slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the empty side, and there was a slight sense of loss in her heart, but in a blink of an eye, she saw a letter lying next to the pillow, and a smile appeared between her eyebrows.

"Yu'er, I'll go to the suburban courtyard to deal with some things, and I'll come to you later, don't think too much about me."

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and finally she chuckled, holding the letter in her hand and clinging it to her chest, thinking about his face, his voice, and only after a while, she began to think about him.

After smirking for a while, he got up and dressed neatly, and after dressing up, he took a look in the mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and then picked up the mask and put it on his face, turned around and walked out.

She can go to the other courtyard to find him, anyway, she's idle now.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw a gorgeously dressed and delicate-looking woman walking in briskly from the outside with her skirt in both hands, followed by several panting palace maids.

The woman is about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a Milanese-colored embroidered glazed palace dress, a snow-white fox fur cloak on her shoulders, a noble and elegant unfinished woman's hair bun on her head, wearing a light blue tassel butterfly on both sides, her fair cheeks are smeared with red rouge, and there is a lotus cinnabar between her eyebrows.

While Mu Zhiyu looked at her, she also stopped and stood there to look at her, tilting her head, her big shining eyes fixed on her body, and the inquiring gaze seemed to penetrate her.

Mu Zhiyu couldn't help but feel funny, could her current ordinary face also arouse her curiosity?

Judging by her dress, her identity should be a princess, and if you extrapolate from her age, it is likely to be Princess Manluo, the little princess favored by the first emperor.

Although Princess Manluo and Luo Keluo were not born to the same mother, they have had an excellent relationship since childhood, coupled with the favor of the first emperor, it can be said that they want to be windy and rainy.

She is arrogant and domineering, she is an extremely strong master, and what she looks at, others must not touch it, and she must get her hands before she is willing to give up.

If she had been standing in such a quiet place, she would not have been able to see her temperament at all with her delicate appearance, Mu Zhiyu sighed lightly, in the final analysis, she was just a spoiled child.

Sure enough, the appearance was all an illusion, and it didn't take long for it to be revealed.

"Hey, who are you to see that Princess Ben didn't kneel down and salute?"

put down her skirt, put her hands on her waist, and swaggered over to Mu Zhiyu, glaring at her eyes with an arrogant expression.

Mu Zhiyu looked down at her, looking at her arrogant and rude appearance, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, the people in this Luoxi Palace are so self-righteous and noble, do you have to salute her when you see someone?

"Hey, Princess Ben asks you."

Seeing that she didn't speak, she said again arrogantly, and there was a fierce light in those clear and unparalleled eyes.

Mu Zhiyu squinted her eyes slightly, and she was also shocked in her heart, she thought that she was just being held by the stars, and her temperament was inevitably a little more rebellious, but she didn't expect that at a young age, what appeared in her eyes was not Qingming, but vicious.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, a palace maid behind her stepped forward and spoke, her attitude was also extremely arrogant, "Standing in front of you is the emperor's favorite sister today, Princess Manluo, if you don't salute the princess when you see her, it is a great disrespect to the princess, but you want to slap your mouth!" ”

"Master speaks, when will it be your turn to be presumptuous here!"

A clear and cold male voice came from the direction of the side hall hall, and Chu Muchen slowly arrived in purple clothes, followed by an expressionless guard.

There is no smile like the evil peach blossom smile of the past between the eyebrows and eyes, but it is extremely indifferent, and the whole body exudes a shocking majesty.

With his hands behind him and the unopened folding fan, he walked in front of them and stood still, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Cold eyes coldly glanced at those who were rude to Mu Zhiyu, Princess Manluo didn't seem to have seen him so cold now, she always thought that he was the kind of man who was as warm as jade, and now he was so indifferent, but it scared her a little.

The palace maid who had just spoken stood there trembling with fright, her head down and trembling, and the next moment, a cold order made her heart fall to the bottom all of a sudden.

"Princess Manluo, since your palace maid is so uneducated and dares to commit a crime, then this king will discipline you well, Tan Han, slap your mouth twenty."

"Yes." The guard behind him was expressionless, stepped forward, ignored the palace maid's frightened appearance, picked her aside, raised her hand and slapped her, crackling and fanning, and heard it extremely loud in everyone's ears.

The palace maid's screaming howl made Princess Manluo's heart tremble, and she didn't dare to look over there, but turned her eyes to Chu Muchen again, but saw Chu Muchen's eyes looking at Mu Zhiyu motionlessly, extremely gentle.

A fierce light surged up in her eyes again, and she looked at Mu Zhiyu angrily, but found that she had been looking at her coldly, and immediately glared at her.

The sound over there stopped, the palace maid's face was swollen into a bun, her eyes were full of stars, and she fainted, it can be seen that Chu Muchen's guards did not pity the jade at all, and threw her in place in disgust, and walked back behind Chu Muchen in a few steps.

Mu Zhiyu sneered, "Princess Manluo, have you heard that Concubine Ru was beaten in the palace not long ago?" was obviously the one who was beaten, but in the end, Emperor Luo Xi personally apologized to the beater. ”

With a demonic smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly approached her, and said lazily, "Does Princess Manluo also need me to give you a big gift?" ”

"Is it Concubine Ru who you beaten? Are you Xiangyu? "I was a little surprised, I heard that she looked very ordinary, but I didn't expect that she could be ordinary and drown in the sea of people, just such a woman, and worthy of His Royal Highness King Chen's protection?

The bottom of her heart was even more resentful, what qualifications did she have to compare with herself, she squinted at her, and suddenly laughed, bright beings, any man who sees it can't help but be moved.

"It turns out that you are Miss Xiangyu, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful, this princess didn't know your identity before, please forgive me for the offense."

said with a smile, then turned to look at Chu Muchen with a bright and coquettish smile on his face, "Brother Chen, I came to you on a special trip, I don't know if you have time to accompany Manluo out of the palace to go around?" ”

"There's no time."

Without looking at her, Chu Muchen said coldly, "Yesterday, this king didn't want the princess to lose face, so he didn't open his mouth to refute, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, or don't call a man so affectionately." ”

Princess Manluo's face turned blue when she heard this, with tears in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip and said, "You were obviously not like this yesterday, why are you like a different person today?" ”

"Yesterday, this king respected you as a princess, so he treated you politely, and he was not hostile to you, but if you spoke disrespectfully to my little Yu'er, he would not blame me for turning my face and being ruthless."

He was reluctant to say a heavy word to Xiao Yu'er, what kind of thing was she, she dared to point fingers at Xiao Yu'er.

Mu Zhiyu twitched the corners of his mouth and glared at Chu Muchen, why did he have to pull her in, wasn't he pulling hatred for her?

She finally understood that this Princess Manluo should have seen Chu Muchen, who was a child, at the banquet yesterday, and then secretly promised him.

Just now, regardless of the princess's etiquette, he hurriedly ran in to see him as much as possible, and he was so hostile to her because Chu Muchen maintained her Xiangyu's identity to the extreme, and now that he said so, he must have a lot more resentment towards her.

Her intuition told herself, don't look at the young age of this princess Manluo, but she is quite scheming, and her heart is ruthless, and she will definitely find all kinds of ways to stumble her in the future, compared to Mu Yaru, I am afraid it is even better.

"But I've already said humility to Miss Xiangyu just now." looked at him with teary eyes, and his tone was quite aggrieved.

"Even so, this king doesn't want to have too much to do with the princess, and asks the princess to respect herself."

Princess Manluo had tears in her eyes, looked at him affectionately, and then ran out of Yilanxuan with her mouth covered, and did not forget to glare at Mu Zhiyu fiercely before leaving.

Mu Zhiyu sighed helplessly, it seemed that as she expected, the next days in Luoxi Palace would not be pure.

The irrelevant people walked away, Chu Muchen regained his evil and uninhibited appearance, and came to Mu Zhiyu with a smile, "Xiao Yu'er, don't get me wrong, I really have nothing to do with her." ”

"Even if there is anything, what does it have to do with me, His Royal Highness King Chen is too worried." Said lazily, raised the corners of his lips at him, and then walked towards the hall, and Chu Muchen then followed upside down.

Tan Han, who had been expressionless, stood in the courtyard, looking at Chu Muchen's back and secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, in front of Mu Zhiyu, their prince had never been in shape, and it was rare to see him so stern and indifferent just now.

Mu Zhiyu sat on the Taishi chair, drank tea leisurely, and then said to him with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Chen's face is really eye-catching, even the arrogant little princess is addicted to you, I didn't go to the banquet yesterday, did I miss something?" Brother Chen, oops, it really gives people goosebumps. ”

Mu Zhiyu suddenly wanted to know what happened at the banquet, after all, she had to guard against Princess Manluo's sneak attack in the future, although she didn't particularly care, but it was always good to know more.

Chu Muchen's eyes lit up when he heard this, his head poked into her, and he smiled evilly, "Xiao Yu'er, do you care about me?"

Mu Zhiyu, who was drinking tea, choked on a mouthful, and turned his head to look at him, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking casually, you just pulled hatred for me just now, and now I just want to understand some of the situation so that I can draw up a battle plan." ”

Chu Muchen's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he smiled again, and with a "sigh", he raised the folding fan in his hand and spread it in front of Mu Zhiyu, "Look, what is the difference between my fan and the usual one?" ”

Mu Zhiyu put down the teacup, looked carefully at the folding fan spread out on the table, and nodded unconsciously, "It's really a good fan." ”

The fan bone of this folding fan is made of the best white jade, and the fan surface is also inlaid with good rice paper, and the dragon and phoenix are painted on it with auspicious patterns vividly.

"Xiao Yu'er really knows the goods." Chu Muchen cast an appreciative look, "This fan was given by Luo Keluo, I know that I like to collect all kinds of folding fans, and I know how to vote for my favor." ”

"Why, His Royal Highness King Chen won't be bought by a fan." said with a smile, full of ridicule.

"How is that possible, let him Luo Keluo put all the things I like in front of me, and I can't shake my determination to always stand on the same front with Xiao Yu'er, at most, I don't have a soft hand on people's things, hehe."

"The thickness of His Royal Highness King Chen's skin is comparable to the thickness of the city wall, but it's well done."

"That's right, but I was so embarrassed yesterday for this fan."

Chu Muchen suddenly put on a bitter gourd face, "That banquet is really boring, the management is staggered, the singing and dancing are level, and it is boring." A group of glamorous singers threw flattering eyes at the man in the center of the hall, it was really disgusting, Luo Keluo actually saw it with a lot of meaning, and the squinting look was almost on people's faces.

Originally, I wanted to find an excuse to leave, but who knew that Luo Keluo actually calculated the time and took out the boutique in this folding fan and gave it to me, and I didn't want to pat my ass and leave as soon as I took other people's things.

No matter how I say it, I also represent the whole Cangyun, if it were me, I would not be bound by these red tape, and I had no choice but to continue to sit there like a pins and needles, drinking stuffy wine from time to time.

Later, I came up with some boring pitcher game, and I wanted to sit on the sidelines, but Princess Manlo came forward at this time and offered to compete with me.

Luo Keluo's sinister villain deliberately used Cangyun to pressure me, it was originally a game, and it had to rise to the level of two countries, if I, the prince of Cangyun Country, lost to the princess of Luo Xiguo, it could be said that there was no light.

If you win, I, a big man who wins a weak woman, is a good man, and I can only compromise in the end.

It can be regarded as torturing me to death, and I have been arguing with them until midnight. ”

Chu Muchen couldn't stop talking, and hurriedly took a sip of tea after saying it in one breath.

"If a casual person like you is not for the sake of the face of his country, he will not suppress himself, and sometimes, people always have so much helplessness." smiled bitterly, in fact, there are so many helpless people like him.

"So, over the years, I've been wandering outside the world, and I rarely stay in the Cangyun Palace." sighed helplessly, far away from the court, there were still people who wanted to assassinate him, but if it wasn't for that time, he wouldn't have met Xiao Yu'er.

At the same time, in the courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

Murong Ling Che was dressed in a black python robe, sitting in front of the desk, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, and Ling Er was standing next to him talking about Ziling's current situation, his cold face could not see any expression, and his deep and deep eyes could not see any emotion.

As soon as the bell of midnight of the New Year passed, the armies of the three countries on the Ziling border pressed the border.

Cangyun and Jing Ge were stationed thirty miles away from the Ziling border, Xiao Luoyu had returned to the barracks overnight, and the secret guards left by Ling Xuan, Ling Feng and Murong Ling Che were all ready to face the battle, and in the eyes of the border people, war was about to break out.

General Xiao Yanxiao had returned to the border more than ten days ago to prevent the sudden attack of the water country, but so far, the water country has not sent any troops.

Emperor Ziling Murong was already anxious, so he could only send his father-in-law to the border many times to send a message of condolences, so that they must guard the border pass, and not let his country invade Ziling's country, and it would take at least two days for the holy decree to reach the border pass, and he was restless waiting for news in the palace.

He now regrets killing Murong Lingche, if the God of War is still there, the Purple Ling Kingdom will not be besieged by the Three Kingdoms.

The eyeliner in the palace passed Murong Jinglan's actions to Ling Er, and now Ling Er was only secretly mocking, no matter how much Murong Jinglan calculated, he couldn't fight their prince.

Murong Ling Che listened quietly, there was still no expression on his face, for Murong Jinglan and the so-called queen mother, he had already lost any feelings, and now to him, he was no different from a stranger.

As for the matter of Ziling Kingdom being suppressed by the armies of the Three Kingdoms, he had expected it, and for a long time, he said indifferently, "Where is Lingyun riding now?" ”

"Back to the prince, you will reach the three borders in a few days."
