Ah, whose main god was eaten alive by cannon fodder?

"Little Leo, it is a blessing for our country to have a talent like General Jiang."

On the carriage back to the palace, Mu Qian was still reminiscing.

Jiang Zhiyi was praised to the highest level in the world.

Reward, it must be a big reward!

The first thing Mu Qian did after returning to the palace was to issue an imperial decree of reward to the Jiang family.

Hearing the three words of the imperial edict in the middle of the night, Jiang Zheng wanted to drown Mu Qian with a spit.

The entire government went out to welcome the imperial edict.

After hearing the long list of rewards, Jiang Zheng was full of doubts.

It hasn't been long since they gave him so much as a reward.

If this reward method continues, his family will be pushed to the forefront.

In the study.

Jiang Zheng's face was serious: "Son, what did you talk about this afternoon?"

The imperial edict said that General Jiang was a man of quick wit and intelligence, capable of maintaining peace and stability through both civil and military means...

Anyway, I just said a lot of bullshit.

He almost praised his son as a god.

“I saw that my brother looked tired, so I gave him some advice.

There are also ways to solve the flood disaster in Jiangnan..."

Jiang Zhiyi recounted the conversation they had had in the afternoon.

Of course, he didn't say that he wanted to stay in Mu Qian's arms.

Thinking that Mu Qian did not reject him, Jiang Zhiyi smiled.

It feels so good to hold my brother.

Even through the outer shirt, you can feel the smooth muscle lines of the body.

Full of power.

After hearing Jiang Zhiyi's words, all the resentment towards Mu Qian on Jiang Zheng's face disappeared, and was replaced by surprise.

His son is a genius.

How could he not think of such a way of governing?

He has been arguing with Mu Qian a lot recently, mostly because they have different opinions.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that those methods only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

That's why we keep arguing.

But Mu Qian was absolutely perfect in his method.

He also thinks it's wonderful.

Humph, his Yier solved such a big problem, and Mu Qian only rewarded him with such a small thing.

mean.

Why not appoint your son as an official with real power?

No sincerity.

The title of General Jiang Zhiyi sounds nice, but in reality he has no military power.

I want a title but I don't have one.

Nothing at all.

Jiang Zheng has always been brooding over this matter.

I thought I should remind Mu Qian not to always give him these flashy things.

It makes it seem to outsiders that rewards come to his family in batches, as if his family has received great favor.

In fact, it is just superficial work.

Mu Qian has learned a method to control floods and has been very busy.

He had no time to leave the palace to find Jiang Zhiyi, so no matter what rare items he got, he would always have someone send them to the prime minister's residence as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhiyi was also closely watched by Jiang Zheng.

He was not allowed to enter the palace at all.

The two met again at the Spring Banquet.

At the Spring Banquet, the Queen Mother invited the families of all the princes and ministers.

Those with a slightly lower status are not even qualified to enter.

The banquet was grand.

Flowers are in full bloom and peaches and plums are fragrant.

The sound of stringed instruments and wind pipes played leisurely, and the young men and women from various noble families chatted and laughed freely like those delicate flowers.

Enjoying the splendor of the banquet.

A joyous atmosphere.

Jiang Zhiyi followed Jiang Hanyi bored.

Compared to Jiang Hanyi's wide social circle, it seems that he can talk to everyone here.

Jiang Zhiyi seemed aloof and cold.

Except for a few words with Cheng Xiao, he didn't say a word the whole time.

He had no interest in these social activities at all.

He frequently looked over there at the Queen Mother.

Mu Qian hasn't appeared yet.

Aren’t you coming over?

If Mu Qian doesn't come, he will find a way to find him.

He had heard from these young masters that this Spring Banquet was actually the Empress Dowager calling the young ladies from noble families to come for Mu Qian to see.

For Mu Qian's audition.

How can that be? Mu Qian is his man.

He wanted to tell Mu Qian his feelings.

Around noon, Mu Qian finally showed up.

After a few polite words, everyone was allowed to move freely.

He continued talking to the Queen Mother.

But his eyes would glance towards Jiang Zhiyi from time to time.

Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Hanyi were with a group of young men and women of marriageable age.

I don’t know what Jiang Hanyi said, but those young men and women were laughing happily.

Filled with enviable liveliness.

Jiang Zhiyi seemed to be thinking about something and looked gloomy.

It seems that he is not very sociable.

But the ladies kept trying to tease him.

One of them even reached out and wanted to hold Jiang Zhiyi's hand, but Jiang Zhiyi dodged him.

Mu Qian's eyes turned cold. Did these women just ignore all the female virtues and teachings they read?

Don’t you know that men and women shouldn’t touch each other?

Suddenly Jiang Zhiyi looked over.

Their eyes met.

The boy, who had been sullen, smiled.

There was also some inexplicable emotion that he couldn't quite understand.

Mu Qian also smiled.

I don’t know why, but I saw the boy’s bright smile.

He always feels comfortable following me.

"My dear, is there anything you like over there?"

The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Mu Qian frequently looked in one direction, so she naturally discovered it.

There are several girls in that direction who she is also optimistic about.

And the expression on that face.

Love is beginning.

"Mother, I don't have time to think about those romantic affairs right now.

The flood control in the south of the Yangtze River had just begun to be alleviated when an epidemic broke out in the east.

I want to focus all my attention on people's livelihood.

As for the draft you mentioned, we can discuss it later."

Mu Qian withdrew his gaze, his words firm and unquestionable.

The Queen Mother's face also darkened.

Even though he wasn't participating in the talent show, he still had that expression on his face.

If she had seen correctly, the emperor was looking at not only the daughter of a noble family, but also Prime Minister Jiang's youngest son.

"The emperor cares about the country, which is a blessing for the people of Mu State.

However, the stability of the harem is also related to the country..."

The Queen Mother spoke earnestly.

Afraid that the emperor would take a wrong path.

"Mother, the sun is shining brightly. Let the Concubine accompany you to enjoy the flowers.

I am busy with government affairs, so I will take my leave first."

After saying this, Mu Qian left without any regrets.

"Little Li, please welcome General Jiang."

Walking into a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Mu Qian gave instructions.

This place is quite remote, and the young men and women who come to attend the banquet will not come here.

They haven't seen each other for several days.

Jiang Zhiyi watched Mu Qian leave and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

After asking several times, I heard that Mu Qian went to the Imperial Garden.

As soon as he arrived near the Imperial Garden, he met Little Li who was looking for him.

In the pavilion, Mu Qian sat there, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Little Li wanted to report but was stopped by Jiang Zhiyi.

He stood there from a distance and called out "Brother".

Mu Qian turned his head happily when he heard the voice.

"Ayi, come quickly."

He patted the seat next to him and motioned Jiang Zhiyi to sit over there.

He especially likes to get along with Jiang Zhiyi, and always feels that he is his truest self when he is with Jiang Zhiyi.

Instead of the masked king Mu Qian.

Jiang Zhiyi shook his head and stood there without moving.

The boy asked seriously:

"You're going to the draft?"

Jiang Zhiyi stood far away, feeling as if if he couldn't catch the boy in front of him, he would lose him forever.
