The next day, Xueyi Building welcomed a distinguished guest again. Mu Xichen looked at the luxuriously dressed man in front of him, and there was nothing unusual in his expression. He nodded lightly, "Second Highness."
Chu Mu stared at him with heavy eyes. He removed all the gentleness and kindness in the past, and replaced him with an almost harsh scrutiny. He looked at him carefully from top to bottom, as if he wanted to find out something. flaw,
Mu Xichen raised his eyebrows, understood what he meant, and let others look at him frankly, even poured tea for someone in a good mood, and drank it on his own, not paying any attention to that person's almost rude behavior .
After a long time, Chu Mu slowly retracted his gaze and let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't want to admit it, the man in front of him was really better than most people he had ever met. "Listen to A Yuan, your chess skills are extraordinary. , this hall also wants to learn a thing or two."
Mu Xichen nodded dispensably, and then pulled the little pawn beside him. He seemed to be loose at first, but when he touched the chess piece, his aura suddenly changed. oppression.
He knew that this was a game about two people's cooperation qualifications, and he couldn't lose.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king. Loyalty and appointment are matters for both parties. Chu Mu wanted to test his ability and skills, so why didn't he want to test this person's mind and courage?
After all, with his ability, even a fool who can't afford it, he can turn others into puppet emperors. He has no shortage of partners at all, so Chu Mu is just the best choice, but it is by no means the only choice.
That being the case, this game has to be a little more serious.
Leaving aside the fierce battle between the two of them inside the house, Chu Moyuan, who was blocked outside, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He heard that his brother was coming to trouble Xichen early in the morning, so he hurried over. But he could only pace back and forth at the door, because the guard at the door was his brother's most trusted guard, so it was absolutely impossible to let him in.
He didn't know what kind of feeling he was feeling in his heart at the moment, he just felt mixed feelings.
On the one hand, he regretted his recklessness, rashly revealed the existence of the young man, and his elder brother, who was worried about him in every possible way, would naturally go to him, whether it was judgment or courtship, or even hurt him!
On the other hand, there was a jealousy in his heart that he didn't even realize. He was jealous of his elder brother, who could live in the same room with that person peacefully, without disputes, ridicule, or even being kicked out.
What are they doing in there now?
We must have had a good chat, right?
The young man is so knowledgeable, and his elder brother cherishes talents, so he must be shocked by heaven.
Maybe they play chess in it?
Thinking of that person's amazing chess skills, Chu Moyuan felt a dull pain in his heart.
He is playing chess, playing chess with others!
But it is a pity that the atmosphere in the room is not as peaceful and beautiful as Chu Moyuan imagined. The two are almost tit-for-tat, refusing to give an inch. Besides playing chess, there is a tense question and answer, not only to guess the other party's intentions , and have to separate his mind to extract the information he wants from it. After such a huge mental work, even the old fox Chu Mu can't help but feel a little tired.
Slowly taking the last chess piece, Chu Mu closed his eyes, exhaled lightly, and sighed, "I lost, sir is indeed talented."
In a short period of time, he abandoned his claim to be the main hall, and even had the intention of praising him in his words, and his face and demeanor were full of praise and appreciation, without any irritation or unwillingness to be inferior to others.
Mu Xichen shook his head, "Your Highness, you can just call me Xichen."
He evaluated this person calmly, basically qualified, not weak in strategy and scheming, just a little suspicious, but this is not a problem, at least it can last until the general situation is settled, and then, will he kill the donkey? , is not within the scope of Mu Xichen's consideration.
Anyway, at that time, he must have found his old Gong, and went to indulge in the mountains and rivers.
Chu Mu stood up, raised his hands forward, and earnestly gave Mu Xichen a big gift. His attitude was full of humility and honesty, which made it impossible for anyone to be malicious. "Mr. Help, I will be even more powerful, but I am still curious, and even have to ask, what is the master's plan?"
Mu Xichen also stood up, straightened the man, then looked him in the eyes, and said very seriously, "Xichen doesn't want much. When His Highness is enthroned as a great treasure, all I want is Ye Mansion and Prince Cheng'an Mansion."
"Ye Mansion? Cheng'an Prince's Mansion?" Chu Mu was a little surprised. Ye Bohan was just a minister of the Ministry of War. Although he was in the Ministry of War, he didn't have much real power. In addition, his father always valued literature over military affairs, so he didn't even look good towards the Ministry of War.
And Cheng An Palace is even more inexplicable. Concubine Xiao Gui, who is the most favored today, originally came from the Xiao family. If it is really counted, she is even related to Xiao Junrui as aunt and nephew.
Xiao Junrui's grandfather originally got the title of King Cheng'an because of his meritorious service as a dragon, and he was hereditary. Stand beside the third prince.
However, these two families are not related at all, that is, the recent marriage has caused a lot of turmoil, but in any case, it is impossible to get involved with this man in front of him who is hard to conceal his elegance even though he is in the world.
"It's not a problem, it's just that there's something old?" Chu Mu thought quickly, neither the Ye Mansion nor King Cheng'an belonged to his power, even if he handed it over, there would be no loss, and he could even get such a thing. A strong collaborator, perfect.
Mu Xichen smiled when he heard the words, but this smile carried a slight chill, and it didn't reach his eyes at all, "There is a grudge..."
Now Chu Mu was completely relieved, at least on the surface.
He saluted Mu Xichen again, then turned and left. When he opened the door, he saw his younger brother circling outside like a headless chicken. As soon as he saw him, he hurried over to him, "Brother, he ..."
"What do you look like! Go back!" Chu Moyuan was sweating anxiously, but before he finished speaking, Chu Mu interrupted him, and decisively pulled his brother's sleeve and dragged him away, ignoring his frequent replies. eager eyes.
Standing at the door, Mu Xichen watched the figures of the two gradually disappear, and suddenly met the man's eyes like an abandoned puppy, chuckled lightly, and told Tsing Yi, "Tell our people to move, so that we can move." The play is about to begin..."
A few days later, the whole capital was buzzing with people, those who were busy, those who set up stalls, and those who watched the excitement, all poured into the streets, blocking the originally spacious streets, and at a glance, it was densely packed with human heads.
The originally clean streets and even the shops along the street are decorated with bright red silk, which looks quite festive at first glance. Everyone's faces are full of curiosity and expectation, and they can't wait to stretch their necks to see the street.
"Hey, did you see it?"
"No, what's the hurry, the auspicious time has not come yet, we came so early, isn't it just to occupy the front row, then Ye Qingcheng is the most beautiful woman in the world, and he is a brother, I don't know if he is riding a horse or a sedan chair?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a sedan chair, after all, he is a delicate brother, but I really hope he can ride a horse, so that we can also witness the true face of this first beauty."
"..."
All kinds of discussions are in full swing, but none of them can be separated from the three words "Ye Qingcheng". He has been crowned the capital of the capital since he was a child, who doesn't praise a stunning beauty?
This marriage with Prince Xiao Junrui of Cheng'an is an almost perfect story of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman. Heroic and beautiful, it can be described as a perfect match.
Brothers here, when getting married, can freely choose whether to ride a horse or a sedan chair. Mu Xichen sits on a tall building facing the street, tapping his index finger on the table rather boredly. Riding a horse, so that he can better show his beauty to everyone, isn't it?
With bursts of cheerful gongs and drums, a long line came slowly from the end of the long street, and the two newlyweds stood out in the front. Their bright red robes made them stand out even more. Coupled with the support of a crowd of passers-by, it is really dazzling.
Xiao Junrui, as one of the important male supporting roles in this world, is naturally not bad in appearance, with handsome eyebrows and a tall and straight figure. He was also the dream lover and best husband-in-law candidate of countless boys and girls.
And the one walking side by side with him, riding on a maroon pony, was his good brother whom he had never really seen since he came.
Seeing that person intuitively now, Mu Xichen tried his best to suppress the sudden anger and killing intent in his heart, and began to comment on his appearance.
Well, with creamy skin, almond-shaped eyes and a fine nose, untouched but red lips, and a melon-seeded face no bigger than a palm, I really feel pity for her.
In particular, the bright red cinnabar on his forehead shows the noble status of his elder brother, and this will bloom into a beautiful little flower after the ceremony of husband and wife.
Right between the eyebrows, it was as bright as blood, it was really the best, Mu Xichen rubbed his chin in a somewhat rascally manner.
There will be red cinnabar on the brother's body as a distinction, but the position is different, so it is rare to see a precious brother like Ye Qingcheng. Even the original owner grows in a relatively secret neck. slightly closer to the collarbone.
It's a pity that with the original owner's jewels in front of him, Ye Qingcheng's appearance is set off to look a little petty, and even more insipid. If it weren't for the conspicuous vermilion, it would be difficult for him to bear the title of the number one beauty.
No wonder, no wonder, the first thing he did when he grew up was to ruin his brother's appearance.
Mu Xichen rested his chin with one hand bored, watching Xiao Junrui turning his head from time to time to take care of him carefully, full of love, he couldn't help but sneered, he really did everything for good and bad people...
After Ye Qingxuan was disfigured, he once offered to dissolve the engagement.
In the heart of that innocent child, his sweetheart deserves the best, so since he is no longer worthy, he should be set free.
What did Xiao Junrui say at that time?
"Qingxuan, don't worry, I promised your mother to take good care of you, so I will never break my promise, you are my wife, no matter what happens to you, this is a fact that will never change."
What a sweet love story, that is, there is that silly child who takes it seriously, but what about the reality?
What he was drawing was only the dowry that Ye Qingxuan's mother who died early left for him!
Cheng'an Prince's Mansion has been in ruins for several generations, not to mention how much it has to invest in helping the third prince succeed. Aren't these all in the long dowry honor guard behind Ye Qingcheng?
Ten miles of red makeup, beautiful marriage, really happy...
It's a pity that happiness is an eyesore!
Mu Xichen's eyes swept across the long queue, and the big red boxes pierced his heart like needles, causing pain.
Back then, Su Yunzhi's father was afraid that his daughter's family background would be looked down upon by her husband's family, so he almost gave her half of his family's wealth as a dowry, just to give her a little bit of confidence when she married and gain the respect of her husband's family.
But what about the facts?
While Ye Bohan recklessly enjoys the benefits brought by his wife, he despises her birth at the same time, and is also jealous of her wealth which is much richer than his own.
He despises the businessman's copper stink, but also enjoys the benefits brought to him by the yellow and white thing. He has taken all of his face. How can he have such a big face?
As for his most valued youngest son, this time he is marrying into the palace, Ye Bohan must have spent a lot of money. I am afraid that most of Su Yunzhi's dowry back then is here, right?
Anyway, the short-lived eldest son is already dead, and those private properties belong to the public. Naturally, he can control them however he wants. As long as his son and the third prince supported by Xiao Junrui can ascend to the throne, how much will it cost by then?
So, the investment is worth it!
What a good calculation...
Mu Xichen put his hand on his heart, calmed the sudden pain, and murmured softly, "Don't be sad, what belongs to you, I will definitely let them spit out all the profits!"
After the almost suffocating pain passed, Mu Xichen let out a sigh of relief, leaned back, turned his head to Tsing Yi and said, "Go, our gift for Young Master Ye must be delivered to him In my hand, I hope he will like this gift from me, heh..."
Chu Mu stared at him with heavy eyes. He removed all the gentleness and kindness in the past, and replaced him with an almost harsh scrutiny. He looked at him carefully from top to bottom, as if he wanted to find out something. flaw,
Mu Xichen raised his eyebrows, understood what he meant, and let others look at him frankly, even poured tea for someone in a good mood, and drank it on his own, not paying any attention to that person's almost rude behavior .
