The book begins with the waste of all the members

Wei Yu really wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength and teammates didn't allow it.

These days, Wei Yu didn't dare to invite Lou Lan to Chengming Palace for dinner. He made rice balls for him three meals a day, and made small snacks for Bai Shuyang, and asked Lou Lan to bring them to Bai Shuyang secretly.

Try to make yourself a little transparent.

Because of this, the emperor asked Lin Su if he was preparing for something big because he had been so quiet these days.

Look, the whole group of people are here.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning requests an audience." Lin Su delivered the message.

"What is he doing here at this time?" Si Muzhen waved his hand, "Go ahead."

"Royal brother~~" Si Muchu hugged Si Muchun and acted coquettishly.

"Speak nicely, you're almost twenty, aren't you disgusting?"

"My dear brother, you actually despise your lovely younger brother." Si Muchu has a childish nature. The more he feels despised, the tighter he hugs the person.

Lin Su immediately stepped aside to give the two brothers space to be alone.

Si Mu twisted his head and struggled, "That's enough, let me go. If you don't, I won't agree to anything you say later."

Only then did Si Muchu let the man go.

It has to be said that Si Muzhen knew his younger brother very well. From childhood to adulthood, whenever Si Muzhen had something to ask for, he would act like this in front of him.

Si Muzhen brushed off her clothes in disgust and straightened her messed-up collar.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"This year, I want to hold my birthday in Chengming Palace."

"What?" Si Muzhen thought he had misheard. He knew his brother was unreliable, but he hadn't expected him to be this unreliable. "Your twentieth birthday is a big event. How can you hold it in a confined palace in an abandoned former imperial palace? Are you planning to have all the ministers who come to congratulate you go to Chengming Palace?"

"I don't mind~~" Si Muchu muttered.

"I mind. This is so embarrassing."

"Then I will hold it in my own residence. However, I have a small request. I hope Wei Yu will be fully responsible for the birthday banquet, and it would be best if she could cook a few dishes."

This is Si Muzhou's ultimate goal. What he said before about doing it in Chengming Palace was just throwing a brick.

"No." Si Muzhen refused outright.

Si Muzhou refused to give up, "Why? When Wei Yu was still the queen, she often presided over banquets of all sizes in the palace. I feel very relieved to leave my birthday banquet to her."

"May I ask, do you think the banquets she has hosted are always foolproof?"

Si Muzhou was speechless.

Indeed, the banquets previously hosted by Wei Yu had more or less some flaws, or they arranged some performances that were not up to standard. However, there were one or two banquets prepared by Concubine Jia, now Zhaoyi Jia, which were relatively perfect.

No matter what he did, Si Muzhou, who was the most stubborn, refused to admit it. "I think it's perfect."

Si Muyu: "......"

This person has been talking nonsense and speaking without thinking in order to achieve his goal.

"My mother and I have already agreed that your twentieth birthday will be held on Tongyu Island in the imperial palace."

"Tongyuzhou? That godforsaken place? I don't want it. There's nothing fun there." Si Muchu's whole body was full of rejection.

Tongyuzhou is an island in the middle of the lake of Yongquan Palace. It is quite large in area. There is only one palace and a few pavilions on it. Usually they go there to fish.

He didn't want to spend his birthday fishing.

"I have already made all the arrangements, and the Queen Mother will be there too."

Si Muchu pouted his lips to the sky, looking very reluctant.

Si Mu's tone slowed down. "Can you just listen to my brother and mother on this matter?"

Si Muzhen raised his hands, patted Si Muzhou's shoulders a few times, and pinched his arms. "You are twenty years old now, and you will be a man in the future. You must learn to share and shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the country."

"I understand." Si Muchu's expression became very serious and majestic as he answered.

Si Muzhen looked at Si Muchu with relief. He realized that the younger brother he had been caring for and raising had grown up to be as tall as him and was even stronger than him.

"I want to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you, and you can choose your name now. Do you want to choose it yourself or do you want me to choose it for you?"

Si Muzhou's voice softened, "It's all up to you, brother."

"well......"

Si Muzhen began to explain the process of the coming-of-age ceremony. Actually, Si Muzhen didn't need to explain it herself; she could just send someone from the Ministry of Rites to explain it, and then go through the process. Even if that weren't the case, Si Muzhen had attended Si Muzhen's coming-of-age ceremony and remembered it roughly.

The two of them understood each other tacitly, one listening quietly while the other talked incessantly, as if they had returned to the time when Si Muchu had not yet left the palace to build his own mansion.

"Now that you've reached adulthood, it's time for you to get married. People your age already have three children." Si Muzhen didn't give Si Muzhou a chance to defend himself. "The Queen Mother always frowns when she talks about your marriage. You should also consider her feelings."

Si Muzhou opened his mouth but was interrupted by Si Muqin again, "I am only five years older than you, and I already have six children."

What's so good about this? Si Muchu rolled his eyes inwardly, but said with a well-behaved face, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I haven't met the right person. I'm still young, so there's no rush. I'll have a princess, and I'll have children too."

Si Muzhen said: "There are suitable people. The second daughter of the Imperial Censor is sixteen years old and is a good match for you. Do you want her?"

"No, my Royal Brother, when did you start liking this kind of matchmaking job? I'm really not in a hurry. As long as my eldest sister has my Royal Brother, she will flourish."

Si Muzhen knocked on Si Muzhu's forehead and said, "Do you think I want to do it? It's because my mother keeps nagging me about it. I don't want to rush you. After all, you will live your own life in the future."

"Then I will tell my mother myself tomorrow."

Si Muxian looked at Si Muzhou, his brows furrowed more and more as he looked at him, his eyes full of disbelief.

"What...what happened?" Si Muzhou pulled at his collar and looked at himself. "Royal brother, you didn't see anything, did you?"

For example, some spooky stuff.

Si Mu's expression became firm, "Could it be that the rumors are true?"

Si Muzhu panicked.

"Royal brother, what did you see... ahem... just tell me directly, I'm not afraid." Si Muchu tightly grasped the consecrated jade pendant around his waist and said calmly.

Seeing this, Si Muzhen became more certain of his guess.

"Rumor has it that you and Bai Shuyang are in love with each other."

Si Muchu's mind froze.

"what?"

"Otherwise, why don't you get married? Instead, you stick together and flirt with each other every day."

"Ah?" Si Muchu's mouth almost dropped, but he held it up with his hand. "What are you talking about? Didn't you arrange for me to go to Chengming Palace? We were flirting? We wanted to tear each other apart."

"It seems so."

Si Muzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but Si Muzhuo's words brought the breath back again.

Si Muchu said: "I'd rather like Wei Yu than Bai Shuyang..."

Si Muzhen took several deep breaths.

"I'd rather you like Bai Shuyang."

Si Mu Zhou: "..."
