The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

Half a month later, Mu Zhiming returned to the capital, and his mother Gong Shi and Cai Wei learned of the news of his return to Beijing, and they were waiting in front of the mansion early in the morning.

Mu Zhiming paid homage to his parents, told them what he saw and heard in the frontier, and decided to go back to the East Wing to rest after entering the palace tomorrow morning to meet the Holy Majesty.Caiwei was busy, not daring to neglect for a moment, Mu Zhiming went back to the house with her, a young servant came in a hurry with a copper basin full of hot water, because he was in a hurry, he spilled some, When Caiwei saw her, she frowned: "Why are your hands and feet so awkward?"

The boy panicked and apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay, you go down." Caiwei waved her hand, cleaned up the ground, took a clean silk cloth, soaked it in hot water and wrung it dry, and wiped her face and hands for the dusty Mu Zhiming

Mu Zhiming asked suspiciously: "I've only been away for half a year, why are there so many new faces in the mansion?"

Caiwei smiled and said: "Master, you don't know something. The Seventh Prince was crowned king a few days ago, and his mansion is located next to the imperial city. Madam was worried that the people around him who had just left the palace would not be comfortable serving him, so she selected dozens of smart people from the mansion. The clever little servant girl went over, so we have few people here, and the old housekeeper brought in a lot of people yesterday."

"So that's how it is." Mu Zhiming nodded, and asked softly after pondering: "Then...is the fifth prince also crowned king?"

Caiwei nodded and replied, "Yes."

"The days are really getting closer..." Mu Zhiming murmured worriedly. "What day?"Caiwei was puzzled. "It's nothing." Mu Zhiming raised his head. "Master, go to rest earlier. Look at you, you were already thin, but now you have lost weight after going to the border. Hey, don't say Madam is distressed. I see it, and I feel heartbroken..." Caiwei sighed. . "It's not that exaggerated." Mu Zhiming said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will be back after a few days when I go home." "

Caiwei wiped his face and hands for him, and helped him take off his hair crown: "I'll ask the cook tomorrow to ask her to cook more of your favorite dishes!"

Although the winter in the capital city is also cold and snowy, the Mu family's mansion is full of warmth because of the reunion. Even the two stone lions at the gate were covered with crimson red cloaks.

The next day, Mu Zhiming went to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty and reported all the investigations in the frontier. The Holy Majesty was furious when he heard that, and ordered twelve inspectors to go to the borders to investigate the unauthorized tax collection and punish corrupt officials.

And Mu Zhiming rewarded him with silk, satin, gold and silver for his great service, and awarded him the post of Minister of Rituals.

After leaving Xuande Palace, Mu Zhiming went to Fengyi Palace to meet the noble concubine.Fengyi Palace is full of flowers as always. Even in this severe winter, you can see the cold plums in the courtyard like Qiongzhi from a distance, and the warm fragrance hits you. Greeting him in front of the gate of Zhidian, it seems that no matter how long the years are, she will not be able to wear down her agility: "Xiao Lizhu, you are back!"

"Imperial concubine, long time no see." Mu Zhiming bowed to salute, but was dragged into the palace by the imperial concubine: "Xiao Lizhu, why haven't you met me for half a year? What are you doing, come in~"

Speaking of which, the imperial concubine dragged Mu Zhiming to the gold thread embroidered peony cushion in the inner hall, sat him down, and ordered the palace servants to eat melons and fruits with him: "I'm almost suffocated to death these days, tell me Talking about the frontier, is it fun there?"

"It's fun, but it's also very cold." Mu Zhiming relaxed, no longer being polite. He took out a small wooden box from his arms and held it in both hands, "Ma'am, I brought this back from a small border town. Would you like it?"

"Hurry up and let me have a look." The imperial concubine said with a smile.

The palace man waiting next to him.Stepping forward, he took the small wooden box from Mu Zhiming, and handed it to the imperial concubine, she took it with a smile, and opened it to have a look.

There are three small clay figurines in the wooden box, dressed in exotic clothes from the north. The workmanship is not exquisite, but it is more interesting. It seems that you can see the vast scenery beyond the Great Wall at a glance.

The imperial concubine held the clay figurine happily, and couldn't put it down: "Oh! It's so cute! Sure enough, Xiaoli Zhu understands me!"

Mu Zhiming said: "I heard it from my father when I was young, saying that when you were young, you liked to travel around the world alone, collecting exotic and strange things, and it made my grandfather's nose crooked with anger."

The imperial concubine covered her lips and smiled: "Yes, they all say that I am a girl who can run around, how decent I am, but I don't care what they say, I just go wherever I want. Qing Wan is..."

Suddenly, her voice became quieter, as if she was thinking of something, her thoughts were wandering, and her words were so weak that they were almost inaudible.

But unrestrained.

Mu Zhiming called her softly: "Your Majesty?"

"Ah." The imperial concubine came back to her senses and smiled softly: "It's okay, I thought of some days before! Xiaoli Zhu, tell me what you have seen and heard. I will return to the north of Baicheng. Haven't been there yet!"

On that day, the vermilion palace walls were deeply locked with cold plums, and the white snow fell into the empty courtyard. In Fengyi Palace, Mu Zhiming vividly told Mu Qingwan about the customs and customs outside the desert.

Until Mu Zhiming saluted and left, the imperial concubine was still not satisfied, she reluctantly held his hand and asked him to come to see her in the palace next time, Mu Zhiming responded three times, and the imperial concubine let him go.

After Mu Zhiming left Fengyi Palace, he bumped into Dr. Kuang head-on in the corridor. Dr. Kuang was probably out of his old eyesight, and shouted at Mu Zhiming, "Imperial Concubine?"

Mu Zhiming hurriedly grabbed him, stopped Dr. Kuang from saluting, and said with a loud smile: "Doctor Kuang, I know that I look similar to a noble concubine, but it's not enough to admit my mistake, right?"

"Hey, I'm really dizzy, dizzy." Dr. Kuang took a closer look, patted his forehead and kept annoyed, his old face turned red, "It's Li Zhu, you came back from the frontier beyond the Great Wall?"

"Yes." Mu Zhiming made a bow to Dr. Kuang, "Why did you come to Fengyi Palace suddenly? Could it be...the imperial concubine is not feeling well, but I just saw her, she looks very energetic."

Dr. Kuang hesitated for a moment, grabbed Mu Zhiming's wrist, and said in a low voice, "Li Zhu, you have been close to the imperial concubine since childhood, and you are not an outsider. Let me tell you, the sage ordered me to take the pulse of the imperial concubine. .”

"Huh?" Mu Zhiming was puzzled, "Why?"

"Oh.... Your Majesty's stomach is not up to snuff." Dr. Kuang said helplessly, "It's been so many years, nothing happened."

Mu Zhiming was slightly taken aback.

It's really weird to think about it, the imperial concubine has been in the palace for so many years, the Holy Majesty's undivided favor for her has not diminished by half, but the two of them have no conceives except Fu Ji'an.

"Because of this matter, the emperor has been anxious for several years. Hey, I won't talk to you anymore." Dr. Kuang waved his hand, "I have to go to Fengyi Palace."

The two said goodbye, Mu Zhiming continued to walk outside the palace, he didn't know what his luck was today, he bumped into another person within two steps.

This time I met Fu Yi.
