In the palace of the Minister of War in the capital, Lin Zhihen, the head of the family, was fiddling with the gilded lotus sticker in his hand.

His eyebrows furrowed deeply: "Isn't the young master back yet?"

The housekeeper stood aside with his hands folded: "I'm back... I'm back."

"What about people?"

"It's...in the eldest lady's yard. The eldest lady doesn't think about food or tea these days. The young master was very worried, so he found the lady's favorite food and stayed with him there."

"Oh, they really have a deep love for each other as brothers and sisters." After saying that, Lin Zhihen threw the post in his hand into the butler's arms and said coldly, "Go and give the eldest son the post of the eldest son of the He family. I heard that and Mr. He has recently climbed up to the Fourth Prince, and I think the Fourth Prince will also pass by then, so you can let him take care of it."

"Yes!" The housekeeper hurriedly put the post in his arms, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and went out.

……

In Mingyue Pavilion, Lin Jiaoyue was sitting on the edge of the window sill with a sad face.

This once famous beauty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, now has a sallow complexion, ridges at the corners of her mouth, and is extremely haggard. She no longer has any of her former glory.

Lin Yunche watched from the sidelines, unfolding the snacks he brought box by box in front of Lin Jiaoyue.

Lin Jiaoyue only glanced at it briefly and shook her head.

When Lin Yunche saw this, his eyes were heavy: "Mu Rong... you should give up. In the past two days in the southern suburbs, all I saw were scenes of him and the head of Ping'an County loving each other."

"Even the deputy general Mu Ai, who used to have a high-minded eye, was surrounded by the woman's orders and accompanied her to dig things at the foot of the mountain with hands full of mud."

He had already told Lin Jiaoyue these words when he came back from the southern suburbs.

But two days have passed, why doesn't my sister show any signs of awakening?

Lin Jiaoyue's eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great betrayal. She murmured: "Brother, since I have met her, can you tell me how I am inferior to her? Why did Mu Rong abandon me for her? Why did the emperor and Would the queen praise such a low-ranking daughter of a sixth-grade official in front of everyone?"

"And what about me, sister? In the past, the man who sworn to each other just abandoned me like a piece of shit, and was knocked out of the princess's body."

"Jiaojiao, you can't think like that." Lin Yunche comforted, "The emperor and empress may have misunderstood you. When they are angry, father begs for mercy for you. It will not be difficult for them to return to the position of princess. They have been together for a long time. The daughter of a sixth-rank official can be promoted, so there is no reason to ignore you, the daughter of a minister. But on Mu Rong's side...it was actually the fourth prince you were the first to empathize with, so he may not have noticed..."

"Impossible!" Lin Jiaoyue's eyes were splitting, and she couldn't wait to interrupt her brother, "Absolutely impossible! The way he looked at me before the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet... it's absolutely impossible for him to know!"

"..." Lin Yunche didn't know how to persuade him.

My younger sister has been outstanding since she was a child, and has been loved by her elders since she was a baby.

Later, she went to Beijing with her father, and even the nobles in the palace praised her. From then on, her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the Zhou Dynasty gradually became famous all over the world.

At that time, my father was not yet the Minister of War, but my sister had already become friends with most of the noble ladies in the capital.

At the same time, both of Mu Rong's parents died fighting on the border. He was introverted and quiet, and because of his noble status, he had no real friends around him.The appearance of his sister brought Mu Rong the light in the darkness.

It was at that time that Mu Rong gradually became obsessed with his sister, almost to the point of obeying her words.

His sister said that she didn't want others to know about the two of them, so he hid himself from others. Even his cousin Mu Qianyin, who was the closest to him, didn't know what he was thinking.

He thought that Mu Rong had endured so much for his sister and would definitely not let her down in this life.

But who would have thought... that he would change his mind faster than flipping through a book!

At first, they all thought he was angry. After all, it was really inappropriate for Jiao Jiao to give the fourth prince a purse.

As long as Jiao Jiao admits his mistake, he will be the same again.

But who would have thought that he would completely turn to Xu Rongrong, and everyone in the court would know that he wanted her in public at the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet.

When he was in the southern suburbs, he also observed the way Mu Rong looked at Xu Rongrong. The affection in his eyes was even greater than when he looked at Jiao Jiao.

At that moment, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Mu Rong is a good friend, but Jiao Jiao is his only sister.Between the two, he will definitely choose his sister.

Therefore, when he learned that his father and sister's real target was the fourth prince, and that capturing Mu Rong was just to help the fourth prince, although he was sad, he concealed everything.

But thinking about it, he should already know it.

Otherwise, why hasn't he replied to any of the messages he sent to Mu Rong in the past six months?

Thinking of this, Lin Yunche sighed: "Even if Jiaojiao finds out why Mu Rong chose Pingan County Lord, what will happen? You can't change the outcome... But you still have the fourth prince. With your intelligence and appearance, even if you don't As the princess, the fourth prince will definitely welcome you to the palace."

Lin Jiaoyue sneered: "How do you know, brother, that the fourth prince will still treat me as before?"

"He is so obsessed with you..." Lin Yunche murmured.

"Brother, do you know that the fourth prince did not return the gift to our family for this year's New Year's gift?"

Lin Yunche was stunned when he heard this: "How could it be? I remember that he gave you a unique set of head and face during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Yes, he did give me a set of white jade jasmine hair and face during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although his family background is that of a prince, he does not have much body. I am afraid that buying such a set will cost all my savings."

Lin Yunche also remembered that expensive outfit, and even his father praised it.

Praise him for caring about his sister...but why only a few months?

He didn't understand.

Seeing this, Lin Jiaoyue smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, don't you understand? He treated me like this because I was despised by His Majesty... It doesn't matter that I no longer have the title of Princess, I am still the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, but I am despised by His Majesty. It's hopeless for him! How could he be willing to have anything to do with me?"

Lin Yunche murmured: "Are they really so ruthless?"

He was a military commander and had already joined the army before he was crowned the weakest.

Although he was taken care of by his father, the Minister of War, his performance in the Gyeonggi Guard was also remarkable.

He has just turned [-] and is already a lieutenant general in the Gyeonggi Guard. This summer, he will marry the great-great-granddaughter of Prince Min.

As high-spirited as he is, such intrigues are rarely seen on weekdays.Therefore, he could not understand why a man would push his sweetheart when she was in the most difficult time...

Mingyue Pavilion fell into silence for a long time.

In this silence, the housekeeper came and brought the gilded lotus sticker:

"Master He sent you a message yesterday, inviting you to the Lantern Festival banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I wonder if you will go?"

Lin Yunche was slightly startled, and it took him a long time to figure out who the butler was referring to: "Is it Young Master He who is the prodigy of Jinke?"

"Exactly. Because of his outstanding performance, he is now serving as a Bachelor of Science in the Hanlin Academy. He is the most eye-catching person among the scholars in the Hanlin Academy today."

Lin Yunche nodded impatiently when he heard this. His sister was deep in thought and depressed. How could he have the time to deal with such literati who were busy working in the camp?

"I know, you go and answer him for me. Just say that I'm on duty on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and I'm afraid I won't have time to attend the banquet."

After hesitating for a moment, the butler lowered his voice: "The master said... the fourth prince will also attend."

"Then no more!" The fourth prince actually treated his sister like this. Even though he was a prince, he didn't want to cling to her!

"Wait a minute!" Lin Jiaoyue called to the housekeeper, and then looked at Lin Yunce, "Brother is going! And he is going to take his sister with him!"

"Why do you bother if he treats you like this?" Lin Yunche looked puzzled.

Lin Jiaoyue smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in her smile: "Only by holding the most authoritative person in Dazhou in the palm of my hand can I trample everyone under my feet. The fourth prince must be that person!"
