Fate with you

This morning, the eunuch from Jianzhang Palace came to pass the message that His Majesty is very busy these days, and he might not be able to spare time during the day, so he ordered the doctor to go later.

At this time the night had fallen, and in front of Mu Sheng walked a little eunuch carrying a lantern to lead the way. He smiled and said to Mu Sheng as he walked: "It's cold, my lord, if you walk faster, it will be warmer."

It's really cold.As he spoke, his exhaled breath condensed into white mist.As the spring was cold, Mu Sheng tightened the fur trimmed with piping, quickened her pace, and her body really felt warmer.She smiled and said, "Sure enough."

After saying a few more casual words, the two fell silent because of the cold weather, and hurried forward blindly.

This imperial city built in the previous dynasty was as wide as it seemed to be boundless.The journey in the cold and dark night will prolong the time, which makes people anxious and unbearable.After walking for a long time, passed the Yangzheng Gate, crossed the thick wall, and finally arrived at the inner court.

The two of them took the shortest route.

The ginkgo bilobas on both sides of the road have lost all their leaves and are bare. The intertwined branches protrude from everywhere, and the cold moonlight shines from the gap, which is quite artistic.

In front suddenly turned several people from the cross passage, the two leading ones were holding palace servants in their hands.Mu Sheng looked intently, and the golden thread behind the palace lantern shone dazzlingly under the light.

Recognizing that it was the gold thread embroidered on the dragon robe, Mu Sheng straightened her face, slowed down a little, and walked forward calmly.

After being busy for several days, Meng Xiuyi finally got some free time today, so Meng Xiuyi left the Hanfeng Palace early, and wanted to go back to the Proclamation Room for a good night's sleep.

After sitting for a long time, her body became stiff, so she left the jade chariot and walked out with only four or five palace people.

The forest path is actually a bit bleak in this cold and desolate night.The dead branches protrude obliquely, intertwined and messy, a cold moon hangs in the dark night sky, and there are a few lonely stars scattered around, which is very sad.

She chose to go this way.

There was a light of fire approaching in front of it, probably it was a palace official, Meng Xiuyi ignored it and walked away.The spark was a little closer, and when she saw the dazzling white, she realized that she seemed to have guessed wrong.

The white color is a fox fur coat. Looking from a distance, it is surrounded by the faint yellow light of the lantern, adding a bit of warmth to this bleak night.When they gradually approached from both ends of the path, Meng Xiuyi could clearly see that person's face, which was fresh, elegant, and charming, like an orchid in an empty valley, blooming under the cold moonlight.

"The snow covered the mountain, the high man lies down, and the beauty under the moonlight forest comes."

As Mu Sheng approached, she heard His Majesty muttering poems. She couldn't help but blushed, lowered her head, and greeted the ceremony: "I pay homage to Your Majesty."

Meng Xiuyi smiled slightly: "Excuse me."

Mu Sheng straightened up, his eyes slid upwards, only to realize that His Majesty was wearing a crane cloak today, and his demeanor was like a fairy in the sky, and he wanted to leave easily.

It's really a bit of the free and easy of Gao Shi in her mouth.

Meng Xiuyi was also looking at her, and suddenly remembered that on the fifteenth day, she probably came to ask for Ping An's pulse, but she forgot about it.It's cold, so you can't ask her to come here for nothing.Meng Xiuyi quickly said: "I am going to the announcement room, you go with me."

Naturally, Mu Sheng had no choice, and obediently followed behind her, following her steps.

Traveling together under the moon, if it weren't for the bad weather, it would be really interesting.Mu Sheng's thoughts wandered, but they did have the experience of walking under the moon several times.

Passing through this path is a wide palace road, and walking eastward along the palace road for about a cup of tea will arrive at a quiet palace.

The proclamation room had already lit a warm fire, which made the entire inner hall feel warm and harmonious.Several palace maids came forward to serve Meng Xiuyi and took off his cloak, revealing a scarlet toga inside.She didn't care about Mu Sheng, she took a step forward and walked inside.

There was also Gong'e who came to take off the snow-white fox fur for Mu Sheng.Freed from the heavy shackles, Mu Sheng took a light breath and waited patiently for His Majesty's summons.

This time, the emperor didn't make her wait too long, but within two cups of tea, a maid came to call her in.

Mu Sheng walked behind Gong'e.Walking inside, it is not the emperor's sleeping room, but an elegant and tidy small study.The emperor was sitting peacefully on the soft couch outside the window, propping his face with one hand, and reading a book.

The maid who brought her in had retreated at some point, and there were only two of them left in the room, it was so quiet that it was disturbing.Mu Sheng pursed her dry lips, walked over slowly, and was about to bow down, when Meng Xiuyi put down the scroll and said, "Okay, come quickly."

Mu Sheng hurriedly put down the medical box, took out the pulse pillow step by step, and put it on her wrist.

After a while, Mu Sheng withdrew his hands, put the pulse pillow into the medical box, and said very naturally: "Your Majesty has been overworked recently, and state affairs should not be delayed. Your Majesty should also cherish your body. It is three points of medicine." It is poisonous, and it is useless to eat too much, I will prepare a piece of medicinal food for His Majesty, and send it to the Secretary of Food Service tomorrow."

Meng Xiuyi wasn't interested, so he responded casually, "It looks like it should."

This is a sign of the end.Judging from previous experience, Mu Sheng should salute and leave at this time, but today she has something else to do.His Majesty has held the scroll again, looked down, and ignored her no more.

Mu Sheng's breathing became long and slow due to anxiety.

After hesitating for a while, Meng Xiuyi finally realized that there seemed to be something wrong with her, raised his head again, and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter with you?"

Mu Sheng bit her lip, took out the policy theory from her sleeve pocket, and presented it with both hands: "This minister's clumsy work, I implore Your Majesty to read it."

"Oh?" Meng Xiuyi raised his eyebrows, and then said jokingly, "What? What do you know? Maybe you want me to read the prescription for you."

As she said this, she didn't feel disgusted, she stretched out a hand, took it, and unfolded it carelessly.With just one glance, Meng Xiuyi straightened his face immediately, and his eyes became more serious.

Mu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can attract His Majesty.Fortunately, in the past, His Majesty had never seen her handwriting, otherwise, she would not have dared to come up with this policy written in her own handwriting in such a big way.

His Majesty has never read her handwriting, but they did draw together. It was a very ordinary picture of a sunny day after the rain, and it was hung on the wall of the small study she was in at this time.

Mu Sheng's thoughts diverged, and after a few thoughts, he saw the emperor casually throwing the thin piece of paper in his hand on the table.Mu Sheng concentrated his mind, waiting for the emperor's question.

Meng Xiuyi was not in a hurry to ask questions, she looked at Mu Sheng quietly, until Mu Sheng's back was soaked in cold sweat due to nervousness, she asked slowly: "You wrote this?"

Mu Sheng lowered her head and nodded calmly: "Yes."

"what do you want?"

"I want to participate in politics and solve problems for His Majesty." Mu Sheng directly stated her ambition.

She raised her heart and nervously waited for His Majesty's reply.After a long time, His Majesty did not say a word.Mu Sheng raised her head, but saw the emperor looking at her thoughtfully. Seeing her raise her head, Meng Xiuyi said with a faint smile, "What? The salary from the Imperial Medical Office is not enough for you to live on. Taking on a second job to support the family?"

Mu Sheng: "..." Was this being laughed at by His Majesty?But the originally tense atmosphere was relaxed by the emperor's slow and easy joking words.

"This policy is well done, and it can be called every word." The emperor spoke with appreciation, and she was very easy-going at this time, just like chatting.Mu Sheng couldn't figure out what His Majesty's intention was, so she thought about it and replied: "Your Majesty is too famous."

Meng Xiuyi chuckled lightly, and then asked casually: "It's rare that you are so skilled in medicine that you outshine others, and you're also so seasoned if you don't want to comment on current affairs. I don't know who Ai Qing studied under?"

"When I was young, I studied Confucianism with the teacher in the school for a few years." Mu Sheng said the words that he had thought about before the future.

Meng Xiuyi smiled casually: "This gentleman is of a good standard."

Mu Sheng could only laugh dryly, she also knew that this statement was a bit far-fetched, she was able to write such a policy theory, and it was the result of several years of teaching together by several great Confucians in the world, how can it be taught by a small school teacher .However, His Majesty has already checked the ins and outs of Mu Sheng clearly, so instead of making up an adventure that will be exposed at a glance, it is better to directly cut out a paragraph of Mu Sheng's experience, which seems true.

However, Meng Xiuyi seemed to have never noticed anything wrong, and praised: "Qing is a great talent. I heard that your lord took care of you very strictly during his lifetime. You have devoted yourself to medicine since childhood, so you can achieve today's achievements. I don't know how to find it." Why don’t you come here to learn this full of economics and laws?” She said and clicked on the poor policy theory.

Before Mu Sheng came, she knew that there must be these inquiries, but she didn't know how to answer them, so she simply said cheekily: "It's probably due to my extraordinary talent."

After Mu Sheng gritted her teeth, she heard a soft click, and then, a slender finger lifted her chin.She was forced to meet His Majesty's disdainful eyes: "Just you? Are you talented?"

That voice was full of sarcasm.

Mu Sheng also fell in love with her, and looked at her firmly: "Exactly, I am not only talented, but also extremely talented."

What a stubborn woman.Meng Xiuyi wasn't angry, just as Mu Sheng thought, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation, except for her extraordinary talent, there seemed to be no other reason to explain it.

Looking at this upright woman, Meng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing, and stopped embarrassing her.

Withdrawing the finger that was touching her chin, Mu Sheng blinked slowly, and her beautiful face suddenly became lively.Meng Xiuyi looked at her and shook her head lightly. It was clear that she was as elegant as a lotus, and her temperament was like a cunning little fox.She said: "Okay, you can step back." It was so cold outside, and it would be even more chilly if it was later.

Mu Sheng hesitated: "Then, then..." His Majesty has not replied to her yet.

Seeing that she still refused to leave, Meng Xiuyi couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why? Still not leaving? Could it be that you not only want to solve my problems for me, but also want to stay and serve me?"
