old friends return

Concubine Yan Gui waved her hands, as if she didn't want Cheng Muze to worry about her affairs.She is used to playing this set of grievances and swallowing it in her stomach, and Lan Xi who is beside her knows it all too well.

Dang even said with an indignant look of being very hostile and indignant: "Your Majesty—" he dragged his tone, "You feel so sad about this these days that you can't eat, and you don't have a good rest at night. How can you even say that?" Don't say a word?"

With her lips pursed, Lan Xi said again: "Niang Niang, it's not the way you are magnanimous. His Highness the First Prince is here, so it's good for you to share your sorrows with His Highness."

Concubine Yan Gui frowned, and lightly pressed her temple twice with her fingers, "It's all small things. Mu Ze was already very tired in the previous court, and now he has a family again. I don't want him to worry about these things anymore."

The two sang together, picked out Cheng Muze's curiosity in a few words, and then asked along the way, "Mother and concubine have indeed lost a lot of weight recently, so please talk to Erchen if you have anything to do, Lanxi is also sincere for mother For my concubine's sake, don't blame her."

Concubine Yan Gui then sighed, "Oh... isn't it because of your father's business? Do you still remember that Deng Sheng from a few years ago?"

"That male favorite Xu Buyun?" Cheng Muze naturally knew about this matter, and it was also because of this that Concubine Yan Guifei took her current position.

Concubine Yan Gui nodded, "The matter of the messy palace back then was finally resolved, and now there is another Yan Qing! I don't worry about anything else," Concubine Yan Gui pretended not to care, " Who the emperor wants to favor, whether it's a man or a woman, these things are naturally beyond my control."

Concubine Yan Gui got up and walked slowly to the lake, Cheng Muze followed behind her, looked up and waited for Concubine Yan Gui's words.Concubine Yan Gui patted his hand, "Mother is worried, once the front and rear palaces get together, it will be disadvantageous to you!"

"This Yan Qing is not only the minister of the previous court, but also the emperor's..." Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that the word "prostitution" was a bit difficult to say, so he stopped talking and looked at Cheng Muze.

Cheng Muze continued in a timely manner, "Is the mother and concubine worried that he will collude with other princes, and that internal and external cooperation will be detrimental to the son?"

Concubine Yan Gui nodded and sighed again.

Cheng Muze didn't speak, his mother and concubine were naturally worried about more than this, and part of it was that his father's original favor towards her was now only half on Yan Qing.

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Muze smiled and said to Concubine Yan Gui: "Mother Concubine, don't worry, there was an uncle in the previous court who was helping the son, and there is Mother Concubine you in the harem, are you afraid that you will not be able to control this Yan Qing? The son will certainly be in the future." I will pay more attention, and the concubine mother need not worry."

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Muze didn't intend to tell Concubine Yan Gui about his cooperation with Yan Qing. The reason why Concubine Yan called her here was probably to let him set some obstacles for Yan Qing in the previous court so that Yan Qing could eat Just a bit of a pain.

At that time, Concubine Yan Gui knew that they were behind the scenes, and there would inevitably be more troubles, so it was better not to talk about it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Muze cupped his hands, "Mother Concubine, I will handle this matter properly, and I hope you take care of your health and don't work too hard."

"If there is nothing else, Erchen will leave first. Let Wanrong bring Shuzhen to visit you in a few days. Shuzhen has been able to recite a lot of ancient poems recently."

Seeing that he was leaving, Concubine Yan Gui seemed to understand what she meant, so she also nodded and asked Lan Xi to go out to see him off, staring at the calm lake, a little lost in thought.

Cheng Muzhi has been a little worried these days.

There are two reasons.One is because of the collusion between Yan Qi and the barbarians in the west. A few days ago, Gao Xuan sent someone to send a letter saying that the barbarians in the west had a lot of firecrackers in their hands. Still checking.Although it can be roughly inferred that Yan Qi did it, but because there is no evidence, he can only be anxious.

Yan Qi is an old fox, Cheng Muzhi still has nothing to do with him now.He and Hui Shanyuan have been collecting evidence for the previous drought, but those things alone cannot completely push Yan Qi down.

The second thing is naturally related to Liu Qingyan.Ever since he teased Liu Qingyan a little too bluntly at the court that day, Liu Qingyan either didn't go to the court, or, even if he did, he wouldn't give him a straight look, and then went to court with other people Together, it can be said that it is not enough for myself to retreat three feet.

Cheng Muzhi naturally knew the reason why he didn't go to court. Although he was flustered, he didn't dare to act rashly when he didn't figure out the reason and purpose of Liu Qingyan's actions.

One came and went, one didn't talk, the other was bored, Cheng Muzhi was so angry, three big blisters appeared on his mouth in the near summer, and his swollen lower lip was twice as fat as before.

Logically speaking, Cheng Muzhi's temperament would never allow him to hold back for so many days, but he just wanted to see if Liu Qingyan would take the initiative to find him.

How about a word?There is no self-knowledge in taking shame and asking for trouble.

Our Highness the Crown Prince, who has been holding back for several days, finally decided to go to Yan Shangshu's mansion today to find the person he misses so much.

Or climb over the wall and come in from the outside of the small kitchen wall in the backyard.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Cheng Muzhi's dog sniffed twice involuntarily, oh, it smells so good!

The sun was shining in the afternoon, and the weather in May was gradually warming up. Liu Qingyan was more lethargic than usual. At this time, Yuan Bao was making soup for him. Take care of Liu Qingyan's meals carefully, and the recipes change with the seasons.

Seeing someone suddenly entered the backyard, Yuan Bao was startled and jumped up from the small stool, shouting: "Who are you! You have the guts to trespass on the Minister's Mansion!"

The voice trembled violently.

Cheng Muzhi smiled, bared his teeth a little, covered his swollen mouth with a fan, and said with a smile, "I'm not a bad person, I'm your master's friend, come here today to surprise him, he must not know me Come here, you will be glad to see me."

Yuan Bao looked in disbelief, and took two steps back, making a gesture to greet him with a broom in his hand.

Cheng Muzhi took two steps forward, fan pointed to the soup that was simmering on the stove, "Your master should wake up from his nap, I'll go with you to bring him food."

Yuan Bao still didn't quite believe him, Cheng Muzhi felt a little helpless, he didn't expect to meet anyone in the backyard, he thought that there would be no one in the backyard kitchen this afternoon, and it turned out that there were.

"I'm really not a bad person. If I'm a villain, how can I talk so much nonsense with you here? You take me to see your master, he knows me."

Yuan Bao put down the broom in his hand, put his hips on his hips and asked, "Then why don't you go through the main entrance? It can be seen that there is something shameful about it."

Cheng Muzhi thought to himself, who taught this servant to be like this?You said it was a surprise and let you go through the main entrance?

My heart moved, and I asked, "Is your name Yuan Bao?"
