Rui Muyi seemed to be a little shocked by Mu Sheng's sudden confession, so she raised her head and looked at him quietly.

She remembered that when the two first met, the handsome young man with a waist and hips, with heroic hair, won the cavalry and archery championship with a bow and arrow, and he did not fall behind in the battle with Bangur, the master of the clan.

She remembered the gathering in his tent yesterday, Mu Sheng lay on her stomach and kissed her neck, making people tremble, could it be that the person in front of her was really her true destiny? Ruimuyi actually had a throbbing in her heart, but she was limited to the thoughts of her youngest daughter's family, and she was a little ashamed to say it because of the clan rules.

Rui Mu Yi suddenly hid in the arms of the young man, snuggling in Mu Sheng's arms like a tame kitten, she just stayed quietly in his arms, without any response, Mu Sheng felt Rui Mu Yi's body temperature gradually getting hot, he knew that the beautiful girl in front of him was emotional after all.

After a while, Rui Muyi raised her head, and she looked at Mu Sheng intently, and there seemed to be a trace of loss and regret in her eyes.

Rui Muyi hesitated and said, "Childe, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you and I were born in the Wang family, where can you make your own decisions about the major events of your life." ”

As she spoke, a tear slipped across her face.

Mu Sheng was speechless for a while when he heard this, yes, how can there be any free love in this era? Especially when it comes to their class, marriage is a political tool, a means used to unite vertically and horizontally, and family alliances, and it is always the supremacy of family interests, and the interests of the country are above everything else. It doesn't matter what free will, what personal joys, sorrows, and sorrows are compared to it, and even he himself is a vassal of the family in a sense, and the greatest meaning of his existence is to contribute to the growth and development of the family, otherwise his son Sheng is not worthy of enjoying all the glory and status that the family brings you.

Zweig famously said, "All gifts of fate have been secretly priced." ”

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, no matter what class you are in, each has its own difficulties, how can everything in this world be satisfactory?

Mu Sheng was silent for a long time, so he had to say to Rui Muyi, "Sister Yi, cherish the moment, at least at this moment, wouldn't it be good that we can still be together?" If there is a fate, it will last forever, if there is no fate......"

As soon as Mu Sheng said this, Rui Muyi blocked his mouth with her hand, she shook her head, and said, "Changpingjun, I only want you now, I don't want to think about things in the future, and I don't want to think about ......"

The two looked at each other, and Mu Sheng watched her gradually kiss her rosy lips uncontrollably......

Mu Sheng came out of Ruimuyi's camp, he was in a complicated mood, returned to the station, and he sat on the mat in a long daze.

To be honest, he regretted provoking Rui Muyi a little, at first he may have followed Wu Xie's advice and deliberately approached, but after all, people's hearts are also long, and these just a few days of getting along also made Mu Sheng feel worried, thinking that she might become someone else's wife in the future Mu Sheng panicked, with his current status, King Tuli may not be able to take a fancy to him as a son-in-law.

Mu Sheng turned his head and went to Wu Xie's tent, only to see that he was playing Go with pleasure alone.

As soon as Wu Xie saw Gongzi Sheng's sad face, he beckoned him to sit down and said, "Childe, come, if you have any troubles, play a few games of chess, and it will naturally be solved." ”

Mu Sheng hurriedly waved his hand and refused, playing chess with him, so that he couldn't win ten moves.

Mu Sheng sat opposite him and sighed for a long time!

Wu Xie casually raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Sheng, and asked, "Why is Childe sighing?" ”

Mu Sheng roughly told him about the matter with Ruimuyi, to see if he could find a way to accomplish the good deeds of the two.

Wu Xie said, "It's very simple to let Prince Tuli recognize you as a son-in-law......"

Mu Sheng hurried to listen to his high arguments, only to hear him spit out four words lightly, "Become the prince." ”

Mu Sheng still thinks what kind of high-minded thing is, he laughed and said, "Mr. Wu, to be serious, if King Tuli does not allow me to marry Sister Yi, I have already planned to abandon everything I am now and fly away with Princess Yi, no matter if he is flooded, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Wu Xie smiled and said, "Childe, you are really childish, even if you are determined to take her away and fly away, but Princess Yi, is she really willing to give up everything?" ”

Mu Sheng was speechless, and said for a while, "Mr. Wu has been with me for so long, maybe you don't know my character, I just want to live a life of unrestrained and free, whoever likes to fight for the position of the prince will fight, I didn't want to fight, but my father had to push me out to catch the ducks on the shelves, and I don't think I can compete for the prince, and it is a last resort to get to this point now." ”

Wu Xie said indifferently, "Son, to put it mildly, if you can't compete for the crown prince, Ruimuyi is destined to miss you, and the women of the Ruimu family of the Dongyue clan have always only intermarried with the future prince, or the future emperor, in order to consolidate the relationship between the Dongyue clan and the Jin court." ”

Mu Sheng said, "You are right, then why did you have to encourage me to pursue Ruimuyi in the first place?" ”

Wu Xie said frankly, "Without him, I know that Gongzi has no intention of becoming the prince, and this move is to arouse Gongzi's desire to win." ”

Mu Sheng rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Okay! Sir is really heartfelt! I've been put on a ...... by you."

With that, Mu Sheng got up and went back to his tent.

Wu Xie looked at Mu Sheng's distant back, holding the black chess piece and falling into the chessboard, and said to himself, "You can't ...... fight or not."

Wu Xie looked at the murderous endgame on the chessboard, and he took another step with white chess......

In the early morning of the next day, the herald came to report that after the hunt was over, each team should take the game to the emperor's tent to hold a ceremony, and the wild animals they hunted should be registered in the register, so that they could be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

Mu Sheng took a group of knights to the emperor's tent to receive the reward.

The emperor's imperial tent was crowded in front of the crowd, among the people present, in addition to the important ministers of the court, the royal family, the leaders of the grasslands, the emperor's heirs, and only the prince and Changpingjun were present.

At this time, in front of the imperial tent, the temple people loudly announced the results of the hunting, and rewarded the outstanding clan disciples first, and after the clan children received the rewards, it was the turn of the leaders of the grassland tribes.

In the end, the results of the prince's hunting were announced, and the temple people stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, the hunting results are, one bear, two leopards, ten lynxes, four deer, thirty-two rabbits, eight wild boars, and one high-level demon beast Pu beast......"

Mu Sheng was also shocked when he heard this, he fought so much? Among them, there are many fierce beasts, this record can be regarded as a brilliant record, of course, this is not only his own work, but also the credit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the guards around him, even if a person keeps shooting arrows all day and night, and hits a hundred shots, it is impossible to shoot so many prey, and the hunting is intended to improve the command level of the team leader, and the training level of the team.

Hearing the announcement of the results, on the throne, the emperor bowed his head slightly and said, "The prince is doing well." ”

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years, the sons and daughters always remember the teachings of your father, the emperor, those who are ministers, both civil and military, can rule the world when they get off the horse, and they can rule the world when they get off the horse......"

The ministers and the leaders of various departments also stepped forward to pat the prince's ass, praising "His Royal Highness the Prince, both civil and military, and has both ability and political integrity......"

It was Mu Sheng's turn to read out Mu Sheng's hunting results: "Changpingjun, the hunting results are, one leopard, three deer, twenty-two rabbits, and six wild boars...... There are six demon beasts and beasts, and one high-level demon beast sword tiger......"

Although Mu Sheng's achievements are not as conspicuous as those of the prince, they are reasonable...... When the emperor heard this, he was still happy to reward him, and Mu Sheng stepped forward to thank him without mentioning it.

The ministers and the leaders of the grassland also stepped forward to congratulate, after all, Gongzi Sheng is the only feudal monarch of the emperor among the princes, and he must give face, and his attitude is definitely not as eager as the prince.

At this moment, an eager gaze was cast from the Hun Dongyue clan, Mu Sheng seemed to be aware of it, and as soon as the two of them touched their eyes, they quickly separated, and he knew that it was Ruimuyi who was silently watching him in the crowd.

Mu Sheng's heart moved, it seemed that he had to do something, at least he had to work hard......

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Sheng secretly sent an envoy to Ruimuyi's camp to deliver a letter, wanting to ask her out for a private meeting, but the left and the right did not come, and when Mu Sheng and the others were impatient, the messenger sent went and returned.

Why did Mu Sheng ask, "How is it?" Did Princess Yi reply? ”

The envoy was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Excellency Qiyu, the villain has sent the letter according to your wishes, for some reason, since today, the camp of the Dongyue clan is particularly strictly guarded, and the villain cannot get close to Princess Yi's camp at all." ”

Mu Sheng took back the letter that had not been sent from the messenger's hand, nodded and said, "I know, you go down." ”

After the envoy left, Mu Sheng probably guessed that it should be the Dongyue clan that noticed that he and Rui Muyi were having a private party, so they directly didn't let his people get close to that side, and it was estimated that he would visit in person, but it would be useless, and the person who gave this order was no one else except King Tuli.

Mu Sheng thought about it, so he went to discuss countermeasures with Wu Xie first, and when he came to Wu Xie's tent, he saw Wu Xie making a pot of tea and drinking it himself.

When Wu Xie saw him coming, he stretched out his hand and said, "Childe, please sit, Childe is here because of love?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded helplessly and said, "Mr. Wu, even if I am not the crown prince, if I go and say that my father and the emperor will marry Rui Muyi, I guess King Tuli should not obstruct me, right?" ”

Wu Xie shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Son, you don't have to ask Your Majesty for marriage, Your Majesty will definitely not agree to your request, especially to ask Your Majesty, you might as well go and talk about King Tuli, maybe there may be a chance, as long as King Tuli is willing to marry Gongzi, presumably Your Majesty will not easily refute King Tuli's face." ”

Mu Sheng frowned and said, "Sir, why is this?" ”

Wu Xie explained, "What Your Majesty wants is balance, it is to beat the prince's party, Your Majesty raises the prince, just to balance the power of the prince's faction in the court, the relative of the Dongyue clan Tuli King is too strong for you Changping Jun, so strong that if Rui Muyi really marries you, it will really shake the prince's status as the prince, and the challenge to the prince is too great, for now, Your Majesty has no intention of abolishing the prince, the future prince You are going to the age of marriage, Your Majesty wants to marry, and you will only consider the influence, the weaker family." , the Dongyue clan will never be in the scope of His Majesty's consideration. ”

Mu Sheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I understand." ”

Wu Xie said, "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, look at your creation, if you can pull the Dongyue clan into your side, the future can be expected." ”
