The reborn prince is hard to raise

At the beginning of summer, the candidates for the crown prince's companion were finally determined. One was Xie Yunhong, the son of Jiangnan's Xie Prime Minister Xie, and the other was Mu Hanjiang, the son of Yanyun Mu's Mu Dejun.

These two people have one article and one military, and the family behind them is powerful, which once again shows the emperor's good intentions for the prince.Such an obvious move almost put the Mu family's power directly under the prince's command.

Gu Mingheng sat in the pavilion, watching the rainwater falling from the cornice like a curtain, his expression was complicated for a moment.Lu Chengning sat beside him, strumming the strings seriously.

"What's bothering Gu Jiu?" Hearing Zheng Ruyuan's voice, Gu Mingheng suddenly came to his senses, stood up and bowed.The frost-colored outer clothes reflected the rain outside the pavilion, making it even cooler for a while.

Zheng Ruyuan carefully put away the oiled paper umbrella and leaned it aside, shaking his wide sleeves, there were water marks of different shades on it.He looked at Lu Chengning, who was ignorant of external things, and said with a sigh, "His Highness's piano sound makes people feel inexplicably sad." While talking, he unfolded his clothes and sat on the stone bench.

The curling sound of the piano combined with the sound of the rain seemed to be one body. The rain fell on the heart with the sound of the music, which secretly gave birth to sadness.

"Why is the teacher here?" Gu Mingheng asked respectfully, poured the green tea that was brewing on the small stove into the cup, and handed it to Elder Zheng with both hands.

"It's just that the old man suddenly wanted to see the situation of 'Rain Beating Plantain'. When he came back, he saw you and His Highness in the pavilion from a distance, so he came here." He picked up the porcelain cup and tasted it, and said appreciatively Said, "Gu Jiu, your tea is getting more and more flavorful." As he spoke, he put the porcelain cup on the stone table, making a slight sound.

"Just have nothing to do." Gu Mingheng smiled shallowly, looking at the rain curtain outside the pavilion, his voice was filled with worry, "I don't know if His Majesty's move is good or bad for Aning."

In the current situation of Aning, it is impossible to get the sincere respect of those two people, let alone the family behind them.

"Ah Heng." Lu Chengning heard him call his name from the side, raised his head and called Gu Mingheng with some doubts, and the music of his subordinates also stopped.

Gu Mingheng smiled reassuringly at him, "A Ning plays the piano very well." After speaking, Lu Chengning nodded, lowered his head and continued to pluck the strings.

"I don't know His Majesty's deep meaning, but it is a good thing for His Highness that the Xie family boy and Han Jiang from the Mu family have entered the palace." Zheng Ruyuan understood Gu Mingheng's worries, and he was also a little worried.It is said that the king's heart is unpredictable, but it is true.

They are now on the passive side, and they can only take one step at a time.

Gu Mingheng rubbed his fingers against the delicate wall of the teacup, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes.Now he really doesn't understand the emperor's intentions and his attitude towards Lu Chengning more and more.

Seeing Lu Chengning's clear smile when he heard the sound of the piano, he picked up the tea, and poured the warm tea into his mouth, the tip of his tongue was slightly astringent.

Protector's Mansion.

"Father, do I really want to wear this dress?" Mu Hanjiang tugged at his loose sleeves, his face full of disgust.It has been half a month since he returned to Beijing, and he has indeed kept the promise he made to his elder brother when he left Yanyun, and he has never even left the house.But this time the emperor asked Mu Dejun to take him by name, and even gave him his clothes, so he had to go if he didn't.

Thinking of the need to learn so many etiquettes to enter a palace, Mu Hanjiang wanted to cry—the capital is really not a suitable place for my young master to live!

"En." Mu Dejun responded lightly, and Mu Hanjiang didn't dare to complain in an instant.He wanted to tug on the tight belt, but just as he raised his hand, he retracted it again.

He glanced at Mu Dejun cautiously, and found that he was cleaning his weapon and didn't have time to pay attention to himself, so he carefully pulled his belt.

It's not that Mu Dejun didn't see his small movements, but thinking that the child was about to enter the East Palace, he sighed in his heart and followed him.

After all, he dragged the child down.

Mu Hanjiang imitated Mu Dejun's appearance and sat on the chair with his legs spread apart, but his stature was still small and nondescript, "General Mu, what does the emperor mean by asking me to be the prince's companion?"

"What do you think?" Mu Dejun didn't take his eyes off the lance, his voice was calm and majestic.

"Big brother and second brother gave me an analysis before, saying that our Mu family is very powerful. If we don't let anyone under the emperor's nose, the emperor will not sleep well." Mu Hanjiang said while propping his chin with one hand, thinking about it Then he frowned again, "But why do you want to be a companion? Isn't the current prince a fool? What do you want to do as a companion?"

"Mu Hanjiang! You are so courageous!" A broken voice came, and the tip of the spear covered with iron nails pointed directly at his throat, and the cold light overflowed.

Mu Hanjiang jumped up all of a sudden, and retreated far away, "You deceive me that I don't have a weapon in my hand!" There was no fear in his eyes, but full of fighting spirit, like a little wolf cub.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Dejun also had a smile in his eyes, but his face was still serious, "How many times have I told you, if you continue to speak so freely after entering the East Palace, you will go to the desert to feed the wolves."

He is most worried about his youngest son's unruly personality, he has been wild since he was a child, and he is really worried about going to the palace.

"It's not like I haven't slaughtered wolves before..." Mu Hanjiang murmured softly, seeing that Mu Dejun's expression was wrong, he hurriedly said, "I just need to pay attention, I am cautious in my words and deeds!"

"The imperial palace is no better than any other place in the world. Although His Majesty prefers the crown prince now, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future." Mu Dejun said meaningfully, and he didn't know how much his son had listened to. For the Mu family, we must remember that our allegiance is to the emperor, not anyone else, even if that person may be the future emperor."

This is also the reason why the Yanyun Mu clan has remained steadfast. They hold a heavy army and guard one side, but they never involve themselves in party disputes.Because they understand that what they need to be loyal to is the person sitting on the dragon chair, and what they need to protect is the people of Dayong.

Mu Hanjiang nodded, "I will not discredit the Mu family."

He opened his mouth, smiling like a scorching sun in the desert, and patted Mu Dejun on the shoulder like an adult, "Don't worry, General Mu! I'm going to live in the palace, sir. You must tell me when you go back." Big Brother and Second Brother, let them concentrate on trapping those Sidi savages, I will be careful in the palace. When I grow up, I will definitely go back to Yanyun, and let those savages scare the shit out of me when they see my young master!"

A faint smile appeared on Mu Dejun's always serious face, he patted Mu Hanjiang's still thin shoulder heavily, and his voice softened, "Remember, no matter when and where, father and your Both brothers are behind you."

Mu Hanjiang suddenly raised his hand and wiped his eyes. His eyes were a little red. He raised his hand and put his fingers together. "The Mu family are not afraid of going to the battlefield. Is there any place in the world that I dare not go?"

Mu Dejun also raised his hand, and the two hands of different sizes joined together, and the sound of "pa" was very clear, "This is the good son of my Mu family!"

The next day.

When he followed Jiang Yu, the head of the inner court, on the way to the East Palace, Mu Hanjiang looked at Xie Yunhong who was walking quietly beside him, and lamented in his heart that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are really nourishing, and this person is better than anyone he has ever seen. The girl is still pretty.Thinking of touching him lightly with her elbow, she didn't dare to use too much strength.

Seeing him turn his head to look at him, he grinned and whispered, "I'm Mu Hanjiang, and you are the son of that handsome prime minister?"

The folding fan in Xie Yunhong's hand flicked slightly, covering the corners of his raised mouth, "Exactly, I am Xie Yunhong." He followed Mu Hanjiang's example and lowered his voice very low, like It's like whispering.

Mu Hanjiang was a little happy when he saw him talking to him, and moved his head towards him, "The two of us will live in the East Palace in the future. My father said that there are many rules in the palace and told me not to run around. It’s good to be in the East Palace, this road is winding and winding, like a maze.”

His skin is dark, very healthy wheat color, Xie Yunhong is a very picky person, all the things he uses are exquisite, and he likes to look at the other person's appearance first, but it is the first time that he does not dislike other people's dark skin, He also chatted with him in a low voice with great interest.

Perhaps his eyes were too bright.Xie Yunhong thought in his heart that it was hard to meet such an interesting person.

"In the future, if you want to go shopping, I can take you with you, and I promise you won't get lost." Mr. Xie shook his folding fan lightly, and sure enough, he saw Mu Hanjiang looking a little closer to his eyes, with a little admiration.

"Really? You are so powerful..." The two of them chatted casually, their backs were hidden among the green leaves, and they gradually disappeared.

Royal study.

Lu Zezhang stood in front of the window, not knowing where his eyes fell.Hearing light footsteps, he didn't look back, "What's wrong?"

"Young Master said, he doesn't want the things you sent." Jiang Yu's voice was a little cautious, and he said after a while, "He also said that you don't send these to Qitian Palace anymore." He held a lacquered wooden tray in his hand, Inside is a piece of white jade, which is naturally shaped like a blooming lotus flower, very delicate.

The air seemed to be frozen, and after a long time, I heard Lu Zezhang's sighing and melancholy voice, "Jiaye is blaming me for not taking good care of Chengning." He turned around and walked towards Cheng Ning with heavy steps. Go with the imperial case.

Jiang Yu bowed his body and followed quietly without saying a word.

After a long silence, he suddenly heard Lu Zezhang's voice, "Jiang Yu, tell me, does Cheng Ning look like me?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Yu shook his hand holding the tray, then calmed down again, with a smile in his voice, "Naturally, it is like His Majesty, Your Highness is your own flesh and blood, and your son is like your father, this is the law of heaven. People often."

After thinking about it, he said, "However, His Highness's eyes are really like that of Young Master Kasyapa. Young Master also likes to look at people quietly when he was a child. His eyes really see into people's hearts. I have never seen such beautiful eyes. eyes."

"That's right, from the first time I saw Kasyapa, I didn't expect that so many years have passed, and even Chengning has already married." Lu Zezhang said with nostalgia and a smile.

Jiang Yu smiled carefully, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Young Master, His Highness is growing up day by day, I don't know how long this secret can be kept hidden.When that day really comes, what should we do?
