The shadow of the country

In a few days, the special belt badge that Yi Lan gave to Mu Yan was made.Mu Yan took it out of the palace a few times, and it was always accompanied by Wen Cheng.In fact, Mu Yan would rather go out with Yi Lan.But he also knew that the imperial court was busy all day long, if Yi Lan had to accompany him, he would definitely miss important government affairs.Although Mu Yan could not rely on his own strength to assist him in court, he also knew that state affairs should not be delayed.All Mu Yan could do was try not to cause trouble for him.So even if he wanted him to take some time to spend with him, he would never bring it up.

But even so, Lord Ye and the others still refused to give up.He didn't hesitate to speak out, and joined many ministers in the court to write a letter to implore the emperor to let Zhongning Hou move out of the palace as soon as possible, and move to the Hou Ye's mansion bestowed by the late emperor.

Those memorials were in Yi Lan's hands, but he didn't have the anger from last time.He just laughed it off, ignored it, and kept the pass.Yi Lan knew that if he took a step back in this matter, those ministers would go one step further, endlessly.

The last time he made a concession, it was for the country and the country, because the assistance of these ministers was indispensable in the previous dynasty.But this time, he was determined not to compromise again, and not to let Mu Yan suffer any grievances or accusations.The emperor has the power to remove mountains and fill rivers and lakes.But Yilan didn't want much, he just didn't want Mu Yan to suffer even a little bit of harm.

One day, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not submit too many papers, and Yilan quickly finished the imperial approval.There are no courtiers to see this day.So Yi Lan set aside half a day to accompany Mu Yan.When Mu Yan heard Yilan say that she could accompany her out of the palace for a stroll, her eyes were filled with surprise.After the two changed into casual clothes, they drove out of the palace with an attendant.

The carriage was driving bumpily on the street outside the palace.Mu Yan lightly lifted the curtain in the carriage, and was quietly looking at the bustling street outside the carriage.It was midsummer now, Mu Yan was wearing a light and plain summer dress, and his complexion was as white and crystal clear as fat jade.A head of black hair was tied on the top of the head with a crown inlaid with jade, and the hanging hair was as smooth as satin.

Yi Lan was sitting opposite him, looking at him silently.After a while, Mu Yan seemed to realize something.He let go of the hand and put down the car curtain, then lowered his head to look at himself, and said softly, "What's wrong? Am I wearing white...?"

Yi Lan shook her head lightly, and said with a smile: "No, it's good like this. It can be considered suave." After thinking for a while, she continued: "It's okay to be suave, but you can avoid being romantic."

Mu Yan listened, chuckled, and leaned back comfortably, "What? Are you jealous? It's a blessing to be a merciful young master."

Seeing him acting like a rascal, Yi Lan couldn't help but feel amused, "That's right, it makes sense. Then how about I be a romantic emperor? I've earned a lifetime of being romantic and happy, but not all of them will end up infamy." He opened the folding fan again and shook it lightly, which is really a bit of a romantic style.

Mu Yan finally lost his temper when he saw it, grabbed the fan, and slapped Yi Lan hard, "I remember when I first saw you, I thought you were such a refined and elegant person! Why do you change now?" Is it so unreasonable?"

Yi Lan didn't dodge either, she just smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it the young master who said to be merciful?"

After hearing this, Mu Yan couldn't help being deeply annoyed, and still raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I don't care, anyway, you are getting more and more unscrupulous. You should invite me to drink, um, and the best restaurant in the whole capital."

Yi Lan looked at him helplessly, but finally gave instructions to the entourage driving the car: "Go to Zuixian Tower."

When the two of them came out of Zuixian Tower again, it was already an hour later.Mu Yan was in a good mood today, so he drank two more glasses.He is not good at drinking, when Yi Lan was not doing well, Mu Yan's cheeks were already blushing, and he was already a little drunk.

After leaving the Zuixian Tower, Mu Yan proposed to visit the Hou Ye's mansion. Mu Yan had never lived in the mansion bestowed by the late emperor, or even went in to see it carefully.Seeing that it was still early, Yi Lan agreed to accompany him to have a look.

It was only after getting out of the carriage that Mu Yan saw how grand his master's mansion was.On the top of the vermilion lacquer gate hangs a plaque decorated with luxurious patterns, on which are neatly written the four characters "Zhongning Houfu".The tall water mill courtyard wall outside the mansion could not cover the white jade gazebo at the highest position in the mansion.There are lush trees in front of the mansion.Mu Yan didn't expect this mansion to be so luxurious, even more so than the Lan Ling Palace in the imperial palace, so he couldn't help being a little startled.

Yi Lan also got off the carriage, patted Mu Yan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

There are seven main halls in Hou Ye's mansion, five back halls, and side halls on the left and right.In front of the front yard on the East Road, there is also a vine growing extremely well, like a lavender waterfall hanging from the sky.On the top of the rockery stands a hexagonal single-eave pavilion all made of white jade.Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Hou Ye Mansion.

Mu Yan was standing in the pavilion at this time, quietly looking at the scenery under the rockery.Yi Lan stood behind him with her hands behind her back.Both of them were dressed in white clothes, standing together in the tall white jade pavilion looked even more elegant.

"Mu Yan, let's come down. I'm going to meet someone." Yi Lan said suddenly.

Mu Yan turned around and said, "Who is it? Is he also in the Marquis's residence?"

Yi Lan's lips curled up into a smile, unable to distinguish between kindness and cunning: "I don't know who he is either. But, I'll find out soon."

Mu Yan and Yi Lan left the gate of Lord Hou's mansion.As soon as Yi Lan went out, she immediately said to the woods in front of the mansion: "Come out. Just come out and see what you want to see. Why hide?"

After a while, the forest was still silent and no one answered.Mu Yan looked around, but didn't see anyone, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anyone here?"

"Yes, he will come out by himself in a while." Yi Lan said, and after speaking, she beckoned to two servants in Lord Hou's mansion, and ordered lightly, "Go and cut down the fourth tree on the east side."

As soon as Yi Lan finished giving her orders, someone came over with tools like an axe.But before they could do anything, suddenly a boy about fifteen or six years old jumped down from the tree, but he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.He was wearing a moon-white dress, his skin was fairer than snow, and his childish eyes had not faded, "Who are you? What if I am willing to watch people from the tree? You can control it?"
