Fate with you

She is probably No. 1 in ancient and modern times who competes with herself like this.

Mu Sheng struggled and looked at Meng Xiuyi who was walking in front with contradictions.She knows that she is not happy now, but if His Majesty turns around and forgets about Pei Zhao, she will also feel very disappointed.The difference is that if His Majesty forgets Pei Zhao in a blink of an eye, she will not be surprised even though she is lost. After all, she never expected His Majesty to treat her for a long time, and she always thought that the King's heart is fickle.Knowing that His Majesty never forgets her, she was moved and disturbed, and even faintly pleasantly surprised, especially after she gradually saw her heart clearly, this moving and restlessness turned into a long-lasting sweetness, flowing from her heart like a clear spring of water However, it brings long-lasting comfort.

Logically speaking, everything is good, but now, she started to have a taste for her former self.

Mu Sheng deeply despises her own awkwardness.

Soon after reaching the stele of dismounting the horse, Mu Sheng untied the reins, took her own horse, looked at Meng Xiuyi and said, "Your Majesty, where is your car?" She suddenly remembered that since His Majesty is here, there should be attendants around, how could she be let in so easily.

Meng Xiuyi said: "I came here alone." Every year she comes here, she is alone.

"Oh." Mu Sheng nodded.His Majesty came here alone, so he came here on horseback, and there were no other horses around, so His Majesty must have been tied up somewhere else, so it is time to go get the horse first.

While speaking, Meng Xiuyi had already walked forward first.

Mu Sheng had no choice but to serve as a servant for the time being, leading the horse and following behind her.After walking for a while, after exiting the cemetery, there was a wide road. Meng Xiuyi looked at the surrounding terrain, his dark eyes were pure and introverted.

Walking out of this wide road, there is a clear and flowing river, the river course is rather tortuous, passing through the dense forest, rushing towards the direction of Pei's cemetery.Meng Xiuyi walks leisurely and leisurely. He is clearly a noble and well-dressed emperor. Walking in the quiet mountains and forests under the setting sun, he is like a wild crane returning home on foot, free and easy.

Mu Sheng had to sigh, His Majesty at this moment is really touching.

The mountain forest is not big, so he walked out quickly, passing a dense bush, Meng Xiuyi stopped and called out loudly: "Yun Zou!"

There was a long hiss in the distance, followed by a rush of hooves, but a moment later, a majestic horse with windy hooves jumped over the bushes and ran out of the woods.

Mu Sheng's white horse raised its front hooves uncomfortably, she hurriedly tightened the reins, Meng Xiuyi heard a noise in front, turned around and helped Mu Sheng hold the bridle, the white horse was comforted, and gradually calmed down.

But in a blink of an eye, Meng Xiuyi's steed named Yunzhao was in front of him. Compared with the young white horse, Yunzhao could be called a red rabbit among horses, with a forehead nine feet high, and a fist like a lin. Jun extraordinary, breathtaking.

The white horse snorted, and its hooves stamped uncomfortably on the spot a few times. Meng Xiuyi let go of his hand and stroked the mane on its neck. When it calmed down again, he turned around and took Yun Xiao's rein.

"Get on the horse." Meng Xiuyi said as he flipped onto the saddle, his movements were as graceful as flowing clouds and flowing water.

Mu Sheng admired her radiant demeanor for a while, and then got on the horse.The two waved their whips together and headed towards the city gate.

All the way here, there is no words.Meng Xiuyi focused his eyes on the front and remained silent.

The sky is getting dark and the twilight is closing in.The gray and green city tower gradually came into view, and the double-eaved Xieshan top was particularly conspicuous.

Guang'anmen is right in front of you.How to walk after entering the city still has to follow His Majesty's instructions.

Mu Sheng looked at the figure riding the horse in front of her, grabbed the horse's belly, ran forward, and asked her what she meant: "Your Majesty, after entering the city, where are you going? Is there someone to meet you?"

Meng Xiuyi turned his head and glanced at her, that look was filled with a touch of exploration and confusion.Mu Sheng was just wondering why His Majesty had such eyes. That trace of searching and confusion was like a wisp of light cloud in the sky, which disappeared when blown by the breeze. It seemed to be her illusion. His Majesty never searched for her, nor Confused.

Mu Sheng suddenly felt very strange, she was about to recall what went wrong today, when Meng Xiuyi said calmly: "Watch the way."

There was a small dirt bag in front of him, and the white horse leaped high in response to the occasion, Mu Sheng suddenly felt his body soaring into the air, and hurriedly tightened the reins without caring about anything else.After jumping over the dirt bag, the horse galloped smoothly again, and Mu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Xiuyi had been paying attention to this side all the time, seeing that she was fine at this time, Fang turned his head away.

Guang'anmen is heavily guarded.

Meng Xiuyi and Mu Sheng got off their horses and walked inside together with passers-by.

Entering Guang'anmen is the outer city of Yanjing.The inner city is the city, and the outer city is the Guo.The outer city is where the common people live, the inner city is where the royal family and dignitaries live, the inner city is the imperial city, the imperial city is the office of the six ministries of the three provinces, there are many government offices in the inner and middle, and Mu Sheng used to work in the Imperial Medical Office , in the imperial city, and the Zhengshitang where she is now is located next to Jianzhang Palace because of its special status.Inside the imperial city is Miyagi, and the tall wall that separates Miyagi from the imperial city is called the Xiao Wall.Miyagi is the place where the emperor lives.

Mu Sheng looked at the Son of Heaven beside her, it was quite a distance from the inner palace, if His Majesty wanted to go straight back to the palace, he would have to go hungry.

Meng Xiuyi was born in the court and grew up in the court, but she is not ignorant of common affairs. When she saw Mu Sheng's expression, she knew that she was in a dilemma at this time.Meng Xiuyi looked up at the sky and made a conclusion: "Go to the inner city first, and then find a place to eat in the city."

Mu Sheng immediately agreed, and the two got on their horses again and hurried to the inner city.

After more than half an hour, the two finally entered the inner city.At this time, the pattern of the separation of the square and the city is that the square is the place to live, and the city is the market, where merchants buy and sell.

What Mu Sheng and Meng Xiuyi were going to was the market.

Randomly found a tea shop that looked clean.Meng Xiuyi walked in.

Mu Sheng knew that she never had high requirements for food, as long as it was clean and edible.When she first found out, she was amazed. She didn't expect that the majestic nine-five-year-old would be so easy to support, and she got used to it later.

Therefore, Mu Sheng was not surprised to see her enter this seemingly inconspicuous restaurant, and obediently followed her in.

Asked for a private room, Meng Xiuyi straightened his clothes, then knelt down on the soft couch calmly, talked to the waiter about a few meals, then looked at Mu Sheng, asking for her opinion, Mu Sheng hurriedly added a few more.

Meng Xiuyi looked down at the teacup, his sharp eyebrows retracted, and a look of complexity flashed in his eyes.

When the waiter retreated, Mu Sheng looked at the emperor opposite, Meng Xiuyi was holding a teacup and raised his head, there was no strange expression on his face.Mu Sheng suddenly thought that the few dishes she added just now were quite suitable for His Majesty's taste, so she couldn't help but feel guilty. This was a subconscious behavior, and she would take the other person's taste into consideration when ordering.

Regardless of whether she was willing to be with her in the past or not, after years of getting along, she should know that when facing a waiter, she can blurt out her favorite dishes without thinking about it.But this understanding now seems to be quite inappropriate.

If she took the initiative to explain, she would appear very guilty and have ulterior motives, but if His Majesty asks a question, she can explain it very naturally. After all, she is a doctor and often sends prescriptions for medicinal food to the Secretary of Food. By the way, she asked His Majesty about it The taste is not unreasonable.

Mu Sheng looked at Meng Xiuyi expectantly, hoping that she would ask questions.

Meng Xiuyi lifted the ebony teacup to his lips very comfortably, and took a sip gracefully. Seeing that Mu Sheng was looking at her, he put down the teacup, and the slender fingers that caressed the belly of the cup turned to provoke Mu Sheng's lower lip. nod.

Mu Sheng was provoked unexpectedly and forced to fall into His Majesty's dark eyes.Mu Sheng opened her eyes wide, not knowing whether to break free or let His Majesty play tricks, she held her breath for a moment and did not dare to move.

Meng Xiuyi stared at her black eyes like the moonlight, as if he wanted to look into her heart, but Mu Sheng made her look very shy and uneasy with her straightforward and deep eyes, and couldn't help but lowered his eyelids to shrink back .Meng Xiuyi hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Why don't you look at me anymore? Wasn't it bold just now?"

As she spoke, her slightly calloused fingertips quickly brushed Mu Sheng's lips. Mu Sheng took a breath, her lips were numb and itchy, and her whole body couldn't help trembling, followed by a feeling of restlessness in her heart. Started at a loss.

When Mu Sheng came back to his senses, Meng Xiuyi had already backed away, resting his head in a leisurely posture, looking at her with a half-smile.

This look of withdrawing from things is really easy to arouse people's annoyance.Mu Sheng didn't care about the strange feeling on her lips, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, can you look like an emperor?"

Meng Xiuyi let out a "huh", turned sideways, and asked curiously, "What should an emperor look like?"

Mu Sheng: "..." Your Majesty, don't be naughty.

Just speechless, the waiter brought the food.Mu Sheng hurriedly got up to arrange the dishes, and after ordering the waiter to retreat, she said with a smile: "I'm already hungry. Although this shop is small, the dishes are well prepared, which makes people's index fingers move."

The intention to change the topic was so obvious, Meng Xiuyi smiled, raised his chopsticks to eat, and didn't pursue him any further.

The dinner was silent, Mu Sheng and Meng Xiuyi didn't have the habit of speaking while eating, but they were in harmony with each other.When they were [-]% full, both of them put down their bamboo chopsticks.

They don't eat much, and there are seven or eight dishes left on the food table.Mu Sheng called the waiter to come in and took the money to settle the bill, Meng Xiuyi had no intention of arguing with her.

After drinking and eating, it's time to leave.

Meng Xiuyi had to go to court tomorrow, and Mu Sheng also had to attend court, the two parted at a fork.

The next day, Mu Sheng woke up a little early. After washing up, she went to the inner palace.

Walking halfway, I met Pei Chen who came out of the palace.Pei Chen was walking on foot, and Mu Sheng got off his horse to greet him.

Seeing her, Pei Chen also smiled: "It's so early."

At this time, the sky is not bright yet, and there are still a little stars in the sky.Pei Chen was dressed in a black robe with a sword on his waist. In the darkness of night, his already tall figure was even more heroic.Mu Sheng tilted his head to look around, and said with a smile, "My lord is busy, where will he go?"

This hour is not the time for Yulin to change defenses. He came out of the palace but walked on foot. It can be seen that he did not ask for leave urgently, so Mu Sheng asked.

Pei Chen also answered her: "Your Majesty summoned me suddenly last night and asked me something. When I left, it was already curfew, so I spent the night in the classroom." It's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to say it.

Pei Chen was a close minister of the emperor and was often summoned. Everyone knew that he was valued by the emperor.However, it is rare to see people summoned at night like this.Mu Sheng blinked in confusion, it was already late last night when she separated from His Majesty, what needs to be urgently called?

These two are the people she cares about.Mu Sheng naturally paid more attention, watching Pei Chen Rongzhi, very relaxed, it can be seen that what His Majesty summoned him was not an urgent matter, neither was it an urgent matter, why did he call him?Could it be that His Majesty came back from Pei Zhao's tomb yesterday, feeling overwhelmed, so he wanted to meet his brother who was very close to Pei Zhao?

There are more and more people coming and going on the street, and many of them are officials who are going to the imperial city or going to the court or working in the palace.Brother is in the imperial forest, maybe His Majesty has some errands for him to handle.Mu Sheng didn't think about it anymore, and said goodbye to him: "It's getting late, young master, let's go."

"Go slowly." Pei Chen smiled gently, gave a salute, and strode forward.He was taught by his mother to be very personable since he was a child, and he was always well-mannered, but Mu Sheng could see his real and narrow personality under his handsome appearance.

For the next few days, Mu Sheng was in the political affairs hall, but the emperor did not summon her again.

That matter has been settled, Mu Sheng knows that the emperor will discuss with his confidant again, she has no complaints.It is hard to guarantee that there will be no loopholes if she, a young member of the government who has just entered the official position, plans such a comprehensive and vast reform. Moreover, people are needed to promote the implementation.

Since the end of the third year of Yanping, the situation between the government and the opposition has become calm.The purge and transfer of officials due to the new emperor's accession to the throne has been completed.

Three years without changing the father's way is not only filial piety, but also because the new emperor ascends the throne, the majesty is not enough, and the subordinates don't know the new emperor's behavior style, so promulgating a government order at this time may cause turmoil.The three years was actually a process for the new monarch to gather power and work with his ministers.

Mu Sheng compared the list of officials in Yanping for four years, and there was a big change from what she remembered about Jing Chen's last years.Originally, all the courtiers of the Crown Princess Zhan Shifu entered the court and occupied many good positions.

Mu Sheng still doesn't know how much power His Majesty has secretly accumulated before he ascended the throne.However, seeing that the past three years have passed so smoothly, at the end of last year, she also took advantage of the affairs of the Zhengshitang to scan the whole family of Mr. Zai Zou in the court, and she knew that she must not be weak.And His Majesty dared to challenge Zai Zai just after the three-year period arrived, which shows that he has a lot of confidence.

When she first entered the Political Affairs Hall, His Majesty ordered her to complete the plan, and even asked her personally to analyze it with her. It can be seen that she felt that the time had come and she was already making intensive preparations.

Thinking about it, he was about to meet his father, Mu Sheng was still a little excited.I really hope that the day when I can pour a glass of sake in front of my father's grave comes sooner rather than later.

The Zhengshitang has no real power. It exists to give advice to the emperor on the affairs of the six ministries.

Bachelor Meng got the emperor's instruction, and waited for Mu Sheng to be the same as other political participants, and assigned the task to her.All kinds of official documents and case files rushed towards her, and Mu Sheng quickly got busy. When she recovered, she found that she hadn't seen His Majesty for a month.

There was no news about Jianzhang Palace, not only did he never see His Majesty, but even little news about her came to his ears.

It seems that the court is really calm.

The weather seemed to be suddenly hot overnight. When Mu Sheng stopped striding forward and stopped outside the Imperial Medical Office, the trees beside the road were lush and green, and the tall glazed tiles reflected the dazzling summer halo under the sun. , Even the walls seemed to be filled with heat, she sighed, it was another midsummer year.

The half day alone with His Majesty, recalled after a month, was like a beautiful but unreal dream.

Mu Sheng was in a complicated mood, she sighed, and walked towards the Imperial Medical Office.

Seeing her coming, all the imperial physicians greeted her familiarly, and Mu Sheng exchanged greetings with them before heading in, exchanging His Majesty's pulse records with the other three doctors and discussing His Majesty's condition.This month, Dr. Zhao and Dr. Shen were asking for pulse, and the two doctors said in detail, that everything is fine, and that Your Majesty's good health is my great fortune.

Mu Sheng lowered his head and flipped through the pulse table, comparing the past few months, he suddenly heard Dr. Shen unintentionally say: "Your Majesty's pulse is increasing, and the Zuo Guan pulse is numb. This is a sign of restlessness. Your Majesty's daily diet , use more warm ingredients, so that the secretary can add more melons and fruits."

Everyone should be.However, Mu Sheng focused on His Majesty's recent irritability.The court is clearly calm, and there is no major event in the palace, why is Your Majesty restless?

She felt like a strange person spying on other people's daily life, inferring what the person did, what mood he was in, whether he was happy or sad, from a few words of others, trying to explain the lovesickness from it.

But her heart was not impatient, and gradually became silent in such a day, and she began to wait for a long time without any haste.

However, Cui Yunji seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.

It takes courage and patience to look at someone you like from a distance.Cui Yunji is very shrewd in official affairs, but when she thinks of Meng Xiuyi, she lacks both courage and patience.

Mu Sheng once saw Cui Yunji standing on the terrace, staring at the direction of Hanfeng Palace for a long time.

Mu Sheng didn't feel any sympathy with her. Cui Yunji was uneasy, but she was extremely peaceful.Because he had been favored by His Majesty, and because he had seen His Majesty's deep affection for Pei Zhao, he was able to calm down and wait.

Cui Yunji and Mu Sheng had acquaintances by chance, they were colleagues, and seeing each other every day, it was impossible for them to disagree with each other.Cui Yunji is very curious about the relationship between Mu Sheng and the emperor. At this age, she is a doctor first and then participates in politics. She has no prominent family background and has not passed the imperial examination.Such a history really makes people have to wonder.

Why does His Majesty treat her so favorably?Even though Mu Sheng's ability is obvious to all, she was only a doctor before, how can she show her talent in front of His Majesty?After much deliberation, I couldn't find a normal way to explain it.

The folk customs of the Great Jin Dynasty were open, and there were occasional romantic affairs among women. The most famous one was the charming affair between Emperor Taiping and Prime Minister Xie Heng during the Taiping period.Therefore, if Meng Xiuyi has a preference in this regard, if he favors one or two women, as long as he is not too blatant and disturbs the country, most of the ministers will probably pretend not to know it, just like many emperors in the previous dynasty who liked masculinity. Just don't delay political affairs.

A year ago, it was no secret that Mu Sheng was rescued by the passing emperor when he was framed by someone in the Imperial Medical Office, beaten to death and almost thrown into prison.

Looking at it this way, it was like composing a good story about a hero saving the beauty. Afterwards, the hero discovered that the talent of the rescued woman was as shining as pearls. Find the most suitable position for her, let her shine to the fullest.

It is almost as enviable as the beautiful feelings and events depicted in the legendary storybook.

Cui Yunji guessed wildly, she was from a great family, she was well-informed, and knew some seemingly bizarre things, but they were most likely to be the truth. She was a little uneasy. After being summoned, this conjecture was gradually broken again.

No matter what she guesses or thinks, Mu Sheng doesn't care.She buried her head in the files, desperately observing the vicissitudes hidden under Chaozhong's calm surface.Before the storm hits, she hopes to be able to arm herself and be fortunate enough to participate in it, rather than be blocked out.The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment, dismissal and examination of officials in the world, which shows the pattern of officials in the world. She can see the promotion and promotion of officials through countless files and documents every day, but it is extremely laborious to sort out a complete context from these records. Therefore, she didn't have time to worry about how Cui Yunji guessed her.

In June, Mu Sheng finally saw Meng Xiuyi again.

In Yanjing in June, the weather was very sweltering, and the emperor seemed to finally be unable to stand the weather, so he issued an order to move the palace to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer heat.

Ganquan Palace is a hundred miles away from the capital, and has the same layout as Jianzhang Palace. The palace is more than [-] miles away, and all officials have residences.Because of his low official position, the Mu Sheng in front never accompanied him in previous years. There is no other courtyard near Ganquan Palace. It is the summer resort of the royal family, and the surrounding land is very expensive. If you want to buy a courtyard in a good location, you must not be able to do it for a while, so you want to settle for a while in a remote place and look at it later.

However, she told Uncle Fan to look for it, and the emperor went to find her.

This time, Meng Xiuyi didn't let anyone blatantly send her verbal summons. She ordered the palace guards to wait on the way she had to go out of the palace, and cut her off halfway. The Cool Breeze Terrace next to the Taiye Pool.

The Taiye Pool in the evening is very beautiful.Rare birds of various colors, such as pelicans and partridges, live on the flat sand by the lake. They flap their wings, flutter their wings frequently, and fly high in groups.Wisps of light clouds in the sky are reflected by the setting sun, like being burned by fire, and the sky is full of red.The sky is bright red, and the blue Taiye Pool on the ground is reflected, and the sparkling waves rippling out of the lake are dyed with a layer of golden light, even the people standing on the cool breeze platform seem to be reflected in this place. in the golden light

Under the guidance of the palace servants, Mu Sheng stepped up the steep steps step by step, and saw Meng Xiuyi standing by the railing, with distant and lofty eyes, as if looking at the sky, but also as if he was lost in thought.

Hearing the sound, Meng Xiuyi turned around, saw her, smiled slightly, and said, "I think of something, so I ask you to come and talk to you."

Mu Sheng came forward to pay respects, and then asked from behind: "What is your majesty's order?"

Meng Xiuyi looked at her, her face was pleasant, her brows were stretched, and there was a soft smile in her eyes. Behind her was a brilliant golden light that met the water and the sky. .

The breeze blowing from the lake brushed her black hair, Meng Xiuyi looked at Mu Sheng's face, and said casually: "That's it, I issued an edict, only then did I realize that you probably don't have another house when you leave the palace. It just so happens that I have a vacant courtyard in my hand, which is just for you."

Mu Sheng was taken aback, this is, you want to give her a house?Only high-ranking officials of the third rank and above can get a mansion arranged by the court when they enter the job, and her official position is far behind.

Not being rewarded for nothing, Mu Sheng hurriedly wanted to refuse: "Minister..."

"You can live in peace of mind, that's one of my mansions." Meng Xiuyi guessed what she was going to say, and cut off immediately.

It is her mansion, the implication is that the other courtyard is privately owned by His Majesty, it was gifted to her by her, and has nothing to do with the court.Mu Sheng was even more puzzled: "Why?" She felt that she was not capable of getting the emperor to grant a house in private.

Meng Xiuyi glanced at her, and said calmly: "What why? Are you in short supply? I happen to have it, and if it's empty, it's empty, so I'll give it to you."

Mu Sheng didn't understand: "What kind of reason is this? There are many people who lack houses, and His Majesty is so enthusiastic."

Meng Xiuyi looked at her speechlessly, then shook her head for a moment, with a sense of understanding and relief on her brows, she looked at Mu Sheng with a dangerous smile: "You don't want to ask so many questions? You don't want it, and I won't force it, to give it to other people who you said are short of houses, okay?"

Mu Sheng soon thought of Cui Yunji, who had just entered politics just like her, and she immediately said: "Your Majesty's gift, how dare I resign." It's better to give it to her, Mu Sheng quickly convinced herself.

Seeing her quick response, Meng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, the house was given away, and she didn't care about her turning her face faster than turning the book: "That house is very close to the palace, and you will come out of the palace with me when the time comes. I'll let someone guide you."

I haven't seen her for more than a month, but Mu Sheng really couldn't bear it when she saw him so much. The gift of a house is already surprising enough, but now she has to go with her.Mu Sheng couldn't help being extremely puzzled.

She didn't hide her confusion, it was clearly shown on her face, letting Meng Xiuyi know, hoping she could give an explanation.It is reasonable for her to be suspicious, what she did today is indeed a bit bizarre.Meng Xiuyi's expression was calm, and his voice was calm and authentic: "This trip to Li Palace must be bumpy and dusty, and the journey is scorching sun. I remember that you suffered a spinal stick last year and lay on the couch for a long time before you could get off the ground. You must not be able to bear it. After a while, the plan you made will be implemented, and you will still be of use at that time, I don't want you to fall ill when things come to an end."

The words were reasonable, but Mu Sheng still felt that something was strange, she blinked slowly, and asked: "Then, the reason why His Majesty bestowed the minister's house is because he might be summoned at any time, so he asked the minister to live closer to Ganquan Palace ?” A three-year-old would not believe this set of rhetoric she came up with casually.

Meng Xiuyi gave her a disgusted look, then turned her head and looked into the distance: "I was worried that someone would jump over the wall and attack you in a hurry. I didn't want to see you when, but found that you were killed when I didn't know .”

Some of her voice seemed to come from a distant place, ethereal and unreal, but if you listen carefully, you will find that there is deep regret hidden in it.

Mu Sheng's heart suddenly seemed to be covered by layers of flying snow in the cold winter night, and he couldn't breathe heavily. Did His Majesty think of Pei Zhao?When she didn't know it, she was murdered and separated them from Yin and Yang.

"That house is built like gold, you can live in it with peace of mind." Meng Xiuyi narrated calmly.

Speaking of this, Mu Sheng couldn't say no to it.Even, an impulse surged in her heart, forcing her to almost blurt out that she was Pei Zhao.The sun was setting, but after all it was still shining on the sun worshiped by people in the world, and circles of water dizzy appeared on the surface of the lake reflecting the golden light, which hurt Mu Sheng's eyes.

She suppressed that impulse, lowered her head, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Xiuyi looked at her for a moment, and finally smiled: "It's not for you either. You step back."

Mu Sheng's heart was in turmoil, she didn't delay, and immediately said: "Your Excellency, please leave." Then she took two steps back, turned around and left.When she reached the steps, she stopped and looked back. Meng Xiuyi was looking at her. When she saw her turn back, she smiled and raised her sleeves, making a gesture of "go."Mu Sheng pursed her lips, gave another salute, and then stepped down the steps.

After leaving the Liangfeng Terrace, Mu Sheng hurried home.Thinking of her having the urge to tell His Majesty the truth, she couldn't help but feel lingering fear.It has been decided long ago, and no one will tell. Who can believe such a bizarre thing as returning a soul from a dead body?Even if you believe her, will you fear and avoid her as a mountain spirit ghost, and chase and destroy her as a strange spirit?She dare not bet.

For His Majesty, she had long planned to approach her in her current capacity.Your Majesty, Your Majesty should treat her differently. No matter how dull she is, she will know that the emperor doesn't care so much for ordinary courtiers.As long as you work harder, move closer to His Majesty slowly, wait until she is in front of you, and offer your heart...

Mu Sheng felt uneasy, took a deep breath, and managed to calm down her turbulent state of mind.When she got home, she sent someone to bring back Uncle Fan who had gone to Li Palace to look for a different courtyard, and ordered the servants and maids to pack up.

The emperor went to Li Palace, and at least he would have to stay for two months. Thinking of what His Majesty said about starting the plan in Li Palace, the stay would have to be extended. It is estimated that it will take at least three months, and the luggage must be well prepared. When I can save it, I have to go back to Beijing to pick it up.

This is a very huge project, in addition to the necessary clothes and utensils, there are also books and allusions she needs to read, the usual incense cups, and all the things of servants and maids.She is the only master in the house, she can't ignore it, and the Bo mansion is a bit messy. Fortunately, in the middle of the night, she sorted out a list and handed it to the steward, asking him to clean it up according to the above. Adding in, fortunately, her family has a small population. There is a chef, five handymen, a gatekeeper, a gardener, and a few maidservants. It's really simple.

When Mu Sheng came back from the Yamen the next day, everything that needed to be tidied up was tidied up. She appointed an old servant to look after the house, and the rest followed her to Li Palace.The servants seemed quite excited, looking forward to this long trip, Mu Sheng smiled, and went to make some cool and heat-relieving pills for them, so as not to catch the heat on the way.

After thinking about it, she went to prepare some more pills, put them into a porcelain bottle with blue patterns, and put them properly in her luggage.

On the day of leaving Beijing, before the royal driver set off, Mu Sheng calmly went to the emperor's luanyu under the curious, envious or thoughtful eyes of everyone.

She walked into it, and Meng Xiuyi was already sitting inside.

The luanyu is very big, and you can move around freely in it. You can sit on a couch and face pillows, a few tables and pots, everything you need, a Boshan stove burning precious spices, and a large fish and algae pattern urn with ice cubes for cooling off.

Seeing her come in, Meng Xiuyi only raised his eyes, then lowered his head to continue looking at the chapter in his hand.

Mu Sheng didn't bother her, she found a couch and sat down, took out the books to pass the time and read.What she took was the storybook that Uncle Fan found for her. It is said that this book is widely circulated in the streets and alleys. It describes the sad and beautiful stories that everyone likes to read.It's a good thing to pass the time.

Mu Sheng opened the cover, looked side by side, and after reading a few pages, she couldn't help sighing softly in her heart, really afraid that something might happen.This book not only talks about the poignant love, but also the poignant love between a scholar rushing for an exam and the willow spirit who absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon.I don't know whether the ending is happy or sad, but most of the stories in this context end in tragedy.

If a human and a demon always love each other, they will be separated by the world.Poor thing, maybe the willow tree spirit will be dissipated and disappear forever, or better, the two places will be separated and never see each other again.If the two do not love each other, according to the law that infatuation is always let down, the scholar will most likely change his mind after the top student in high school, and be favored by a daughter of a prime minister's family. Worried that the period with Willow Tree Spirit would delay his official career, he tried every means to ask a master of Taoism to beat him to death. It was a little better, that is, Willow Tree Spirit left sadly, and he would never love again. The wife is virtuous and the son is filial, and the official is promoted to the noble.

It's frustrating to think about.

Mu Sheng didn't read this kind of script much, but she had accompanied her mother to watch many operas adapted from the script.At that time, it was just a pity, but now it is my turn to have a bizarre experience, and I am full of unwillingness. Monsters also have feelings, and they are worthy of pity and cherish. They just like a mortal, and they will not harm him. People, why should they end up in an ending where their souls are scattered or they are forever lonely.

She pinched the book tightly with her tender fingers, and as she thought about it, she went deeper.After all, I have never met a beloved person. In the operas I have seen, scholars are either fickle or weak, either cruel or incompetent. Their frail little shoulders are not enough to carry that kind of alternative love.
