Rebirth of the Great Power

The days of waiting at the edict office were not difficult, not even tough, and the strange looks secretly cast by others did not affect Mu Yuan in the slightest.

Today's daily arrangement is to play against Mu Yuan is Cheng Shiyuan.Mu Yuan's mentality was not affected, but Cheng Shiyuan was a little absent-minded, and it was not obvious on the chessboard. An ordinary person might not notice it at all, but Mu Yuan has never been an ordinary person.

After the chess game was over, Mu Yuan couldn't help asking: "Brother Cheng, what's on your mind?"

Cheng Shiyuan glanced at him, and asked back, "Brother Mu, do you really not care at all?"

Mu Yuan: "Brother Cheng, what are you talking about?"

Cheng Shiyuan: "Those rumors. Brother Mu, it shouldn't just be that you haven't heard of them yet, right?"

Mu Yuan nodded: "I heard."

Cheng Shiyuan was puzzled: "In that case, what is Brother Mu's plan?"

Mu Yuan smiled: "Rumours stop with wise men."

Cheng Shiyuan: "Brother Mu, aren't you worried about damaging your reputation?"

Mu Yuan sneered: "Reputation is tiring if you pay too much attention to maintaining it. It's just something to chew on, and it's not painful. What kind of person am I? What kind of things have I done? I know it better than anyone else. It’s fine for others to understand, if they don’t understand, I really don’t need to explain them one by one.”

Cheng Shiyuan said with emotion: "Brother Mu's open-mindedness is really admirable."

Mu Yuan: "Maybe it's not being open-minded, but that I have something I care about more. Thank you, Brother Cheng, for trusting me so much."

Cheng Shiyuan said sincerely: "Although I haven't known Brother Mu for a long time, I dare not say that I know Brother Mu very well. However, the quality of chess shows the character of a person like Brother Mu, even if he is really different from King Xin relationship, and it will definitely not be as disgusting as the rumors say."

Looking at Cheng Shiyuan's earnest explanation, Mu Yuan thought of Lu Zijun, and those colleagues who comforted him and expressed support for him overtly and secretly, and couldn't help feeling a little bit: people who really love Go in this era are so sincere and sincere.It will be very interesting to create more and better chess games with such people.

Mu Yuan returned to Prince Xin's Mansion with ease, no matter the guards or servants in the mansion, they almost regarded him as another master, no matter where he went or what he did, he was unimpeded.

As soon as Mu Yuan reached the main courtyard, a servant said to him: "Master Mu, the prince is in the study in the north wing."

Mu Yuan nodded, turned around and went to the study.

The study is built near the water, the water is full of lotus, and there are fish swimming under the water.There are windows on all sides of the study room. When you open the windows in summer, you can see pink flowers, golden fish, and green duckweed. The cool wind with water vapor blows, and the harmonious color scenery makes people feel happy. Clear and clear, indescribably comfortable.

It's just that in late winter, it feels a little cold.Usually in winter, Ji Jin doesn't come to this study very often, he mostly goes to the one next to the South Wing. Even if he comes here, he has to burn silver charcoal in advance.

Today in the study room, there was no silver charcoal burning, and a window was still open. Mu Yuan saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but frown.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw Ji Jin who was sitting in front of the desk thinking.Mu Yuan stepped forward, picked up the cloak hanging at the side, put it on his shoulders, and said softly: "The study room is very windy, why don't you rest in the room."

Ji Jin raised his head and smiled slightly: "My injury has healed long ago, doesn't Yun Zhi know best?"

Mu Yuan went around in front of him, held his cold hand, put it to his mouth, and said in disapproval: "Even if the injury has healed, the body still needs to rest well, how can we go through such a toss. If you have business to do, why don't you go to the study in the south chamber?"

Ji Jin shook his head: "It's not official business."

Mu Yuan couldn't help but feel worried when he heard the words: "What's the trouble?"

Ji Jin was silent for a while before saying: "Has Yun Zhi heard any rumors outside today?"

Mu Yuan couldn't help laughing: "As of now, Shenzhi is number one, second, third... tenth today." He purposely counted with his fingers, "No. 12 people who asked me that."

Ji Jin was not surprised that Mu Yuan had heard about it. Seeing his indifferent attitude, he felt a little annoyed: "Then Yun Zhi, what do you want?"

Mu Yuan waved his hand: "Let it go, it's just rumors, I don't care. As long as it doesn't affect Shenzhi much."

Ji Jin took his hand with a serious expression: "But I care. I don't want anyone to criticize Yun Zhi, and I don't want Yun Zhi to suffer such slander."

The warmth in Mu Yuan's heart extended to the corners of his eyes, he gently hooked his fingers around the blue hair on his temples that was blown by the wind, and stroked his cheeks with the back of his fingers, comforting him: "But, it's just a bad word A little bit, we are indeed together."

Ji Jin held the hand held by him to his chest, looked at him with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Yun Zhi, let's get married."

Mu Yuan was startled, and the movements of his hands froze for a moment: "Get married? Is it possible?"

Mu Yuan never thought about getting married.It's not that Mu Yuan doesn't want to be with Ji Jin in a legitimate way, it's just that even in their relatively open era, same-sex marriage was not recognized, let alone in this era of stricter etiquette.

From the moment Mu Yuan decided to be with Ji Jin, he had thought about what would happen to him.Although he never thought about getting married, he also didn't plan to sneak around for the rest of his life, as long as the two of them were together sincerely.Although he is now a great national player admired by thousands of people, even if he stands at the pinnacle of the world's chess world in this era, compared with the high-ranking King Xin, his status is still very different.He and Ji Jin are friends, so it is inevitable that people will say something about their attachment; if people know about their deeper relationship, it is what is said in the current rumors, and it is not difficult for Mu Yuan to predict.

Even so, Mu Yuan never thought of giving up.Compared with such innocuous things as being criticized by others, of course he cares more about discipline.Taking a step back, even if you will lose the position of chief and the name of a great player, Go, even without these statuses, can still be played.Except death, nothing can stop him from possessing discipline and Go.

Mu Yuan imagined all the worst outcomes, but never thought that they could still get married.

Ji Jin never misunderstood the real reason for Mu Yuan's accident. He smiled, with the confidence of a person in power in his eyes: "Yun Zhi, don't forget, this is an era where imperial power is supreme. As long as the royal family orders a marriage, than Any marriage certificate is more effective, even if it is two men who are married."

Mu Yuan didn't hesitate for a long time, and quickly responded: "As long as Shen Zhi thinks about it, I can't ask for it."

Ji Jin: "When will Yun Zhi take a rest?"

Mu Yuan: "The day after tomorrow."

Ji Jin then suggested: "Before I ask Your Majesty for an order, let's pay a visit to Mu Mansion first."

Mu Yuan naturally had no objection: "Okay."

Ji Jin apologized a little: "Let Yun Zhi bear these rumors, I have wronged you."

Mu Yuan's smile faded, but the tenderness in his eyes grew stronger: "To be favored carefully, is already a victory but countless, I never feel wronged."

Ji Jin looked up at him slightly, with countless stars in his eyes.Yun Zhi spanned thousands of years and almost abandoned all the past in exchange for their meeting and getting to know each other.How lucky I am, in exchange for Yun Zhi's sincerity, I will never lose in this life!

It is a big event for King Xin to visit. Even though they knew that the other party might not wish to assume the identity of King Xin this time, the entire Mu family did not dare to neglect at all.What's more, even if it is another identity, you can't slack off.

When Ji Jin and Mu Yuan got out of the carriage, they saw Mu Qianzheng and Mu Hong leading many servants outside the door, while Mrs. Mu and Mu Yushang were waiting behind the screen door.

Ji Jin glanced sideways at Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan leaned into his ear and whispered, "Yesterday I sent someone a message, telling father that you are coming today."

Ji Jin nodded slightly.

While talking, Mu Qianzheng and Mu Hong had already greeted him, and bowed to Ji Jin: "Chen Muxun has seen the prince."

Ji Jin quickly supported his elbow, preventing him from bowing down.With Mu Yuan beside him, Ji Jin didn't want to accept this gift.

Ji Jin supported Mu Qianzheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Today we don't talk about status, we only talk about seniority. Yun Zhiping and I are talking about friendship, and Mu Jijiu is an elder, so there is no need to be polite."

Mu Qianzheng understood why Xin Wang was so meek, so naturally he would not insist.

After Mu Qianzheng stood up, he revealed Mu Hong standing behind him.

After knowing Ji Jin's identity, this was the first time Mu Hong saw Ji Jin again. He couldn't help being a little cautious, and secretly felt a little uneasy about the previous informality, so he saluted hurriedly, and said in his mouth: "Yes, I have seen the prince. !"

After receiving this gift, Ji Jin also said with a smile: "Second Young Master Mu, don't come here unharmed."

"No." Mu Hong waved his hand, seeing that Ji Jin's face was a little paler than usual, he naturally cared: "I heard that the prince was injured a few days ago, my little sister and I are very worried."

There was warmth in Ji Jin's eyes: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine now."

Mu Qianzheng hurriedly said: "My lord is just recovering from his injuries, it's windy outside, let's go inside quickly."

"Okay." Ji Jin nodded and walked forward first.Here, he has the highest status and is the only visitor, so it should be reasonable to raise his posture a little higher.Even if he is willing to lower his figure, the Mu family may not be able to accept it calmly. Instead, it is better to accept these respects generously, so that each other is at ease.

At a distance of dozens of steps, Ji Jin also deliberately asked Xia Muhong about the recent situation of learning riding and archery martial arts.

Mu Hong seriously talked to Ji Jin about all kinds of things in each middle school, at first it seemed like a report.Ji Jin listened carefully, always with a smile on his face, and occasionally asked a few words, Mu Hong became more excited as he spoke, and slowly and unknowingly let go of his restraint.

After walking through the screen door and seeing Mrs. Mu and Mu Yushang who had been waiting here all this time, Ji Jin became the Brother Ji in Mu Hong's mind again.

Before Mrs. Mu came up to meet him, Ji Jin took two steps over and saluted as nephew: "Mrs. Mu."

Mrs. Mu was taken aback for a moment, then accepted it with a smile, and then blessed Ji Jin: "I have seen the prince."

Mu Yushang leaned out from behind Mrs. Mu, and greeted Ji Jinfu with a smile: "The daughter of the people has seen the prince."

Compared to Mu Hong, Mu Yushang knew better about the relationship between the lord and his elder brother, so naturally he was a little less cautious than Mu Hong.

Now, Mu Hong is the only member of the Mu family who still knows nothing, but soon, he will be told the truth.

All the people present today, except Mu Hong, knew it well.

After Mu Qianzheng and Mrs. Mu entertained Ji Jin for a few cups of tea in the main hall, they asked the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family to lead Ji Jin around the mansion.Acting like this naturally means that Ji Jin is not regarded as just the king of the court, but as the "family" of the Mu family in the not-too-distant future.

Mu Yuan seldom stays in Mu Mansion, and there are not many traces of his life left here, so Mu Hong and Mu Yushang are mainly leading the introduction.

Mu Hong first took everyone to his training ground.Mu Qian is specifically asking for the largest yard to be used for him to practice riding and archery martial arts. It hasn't been long, and he already looks good.

Just a few steps before the door, I didn't enjoy my talk, but when I got here, Mu Hong was even more excited to tell Ji Jin about his daily martial arts practice, and even practiced it on the spot when he was excited.

Ji Jin was aroused by him, and also made a few gestures with him.

In terms of martial arts, Mu Hong naturally has no backhand power, Ji Jin only gave a few pointers and told him to learn from his master carefully, and in time he should achieve something.

Riding and archery is not so much a competition, but Ji Jin showed his skills to everyone.

The previous time in the paddock, Mu Yuan did not go hunting with him because he had to take care of the frightened Mu Yushang; during those days in Xinwang Mansion, Ji Jin was seriously injured, and he did not have the opportunity to practice riding and shooting in front of Mu Yuan; There is no chance to see it.So this was the first time Mu Yuan saw Ji Jin's riding and shooting skills.

□□Riding a Dawan horse, Mu Hong named it "Zhuifeng".Chasing the wind was the brown horse that Mu Hong chose to ride when he went to the paddock that day. After learning that Mu Hong had made up his mind to practice martial arts, Ji Jin sent someone to send it over at that time, saying that it was to encourage him to learn riding and archery and practice martial arts well. After that, it is good to serve the country.Mu Hong stroked Zhui Feng's mane, his eyes were red at that moment, he made up his mind to practice martial arts well, and he would never let down Brother Ji's wishes.During this period of time, he has indeed never let up.However, Mu Hong has only been practicing martial arts for a short time, so naturally he cannot compare to Ji Jin's kung fu.

Ji Jin took a test ride first, and Chasing the Wind really lived up to the name of "Chasing the Wind", the speed was very fast, especially under the control of Ji Jin, a master, and Ji Jin's several immediate movements after that made the three brothers and sisters watching Amazed again and again.

Compared with riding skills, Ji Jin's arrow skills are even more outstanding, and his arrows are just the most basic, not even a compliment.Whether it is a static target or a moving target, a shooting or a salvo, he can do it at his fingertips.

Standing on the periphery, Mu Yuan looked at Ji Jin from a distance, dressed in white clothes, Shengxue, his movements were smooth and smooth, and his footsteps were like shooting stars. The determination and seriousness in his eyes made people's blood boil a little bit.Most men admire strength, and Ji Jin at this time has more sexual tension than his usual gentle appearance.

Mu Yuan has always known that Ji Jin is excellent, and whenever he thinks that he has raised his excellence to the extreme, Ji Jin will always use actions to make him expand that boundary a little further.

In the wind blown by the fast horse, with his heartbeat gradually accelerating, Mu Yuan confirmed to himself again and again: He De He Neng, this person can actually belong to him!

Surprised exclamations suddenly sounded beside him, and Mu Yuan only saw Ji Jin rushing towards him like the wind, with his legs tightly clamping the horse's belly, his entire upper body bent sideways, one hand tightening the rein, and keeping his hand straight Stretching towards himself, there are even more stars shining in those eyes.

Mu Yuan subconsciously passed his hand over, and was held tightly in an instant. With a forceful pull, Mu Yuan drew a circle in the air by inertia, and then landed firmly on the ground in front of Ji Jin. immediately.

There was the whistling wind in my ears, the sound was stuck in the throat and couldn't come out, the two were very close, the untangled hair was entangled in the wind, occasionally brushing the face, there was a slight tingling pain, more What is itching.

It was not the first time that Mu Yuan rode with Ji Jin, but this time it was different, very different.His heartbeat was so violent that he wished he could jump out of his body. I don't know if it was because of too much excitement or because of the person behind him.

Ji Jin's voice was almost close to his eardrum: "Yun Zhi, relax, don't be nervous, I'm here."

Mu Yuan relaxed.

He felt a heavy, curved iron object thrust into his hands, a bow.Mu Yuan clenched it subconsciously, so tight that his arms almost bulged out with veins.Immediately, there was a hand holding his hand, signaling him to relax, leading him to hold the bow firmly and raise it to his eyes.The other hand was also stuffed with an arrow, and it was held in the other hand in the same way.

The arrow rests on the bow, and the bow is drawn to the full string.

"Yun Zhi, look ahead."

Mu Yuan did as he did, trusting the person behind him with all his heart, and then let go of the bow's hand at the moment of aiming with a tacit understanding, and the feather arrow was shot out almost close to his eyelids.As if in slow motion, the feathered arrow changed from big to small, and finally almost became a point, sinking into the bull's-eye.The arrow feather shook violently before it was firmly nailed there.

Ji Jin's low chuckle came from next to his ear, and the buzzing sound that seemed to be hovering in his mind stopped.

"Yunzhi, well done! Let's do it again."

Mu Yuan's heart gradually calmed down with the blood boiling all over his body.

After shooting a few more arrows in a row, Mu Yuan was led in a daze from the beginning, and gradually he could understand the tension when drawing the bow, the excitement and pleasure at the moment when the arrow was shot, and the excitement as if his chest exploded.

It wasn't until the quiver was empty that Ji Jin drove the horse for two laps before slowly stopping.

Ji Jin got off the horse first, and then took Mu Yuan's hand to bring him down.

Mu Yuan's face was a little pale, he was still panting, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.Ji Jin was able to see his longing, and let him experience it in this way.

Ji Jin looked at him and smiled, as if saying: If Yun Zhi likes it, there will be more opportunities in the future.

Zhuifeng snorted loudly and let out a long "beep" at the side, and it ran very happily today.

Mu Hong and Mu Yushang had been watching from the sidelines for a long time. Seeing the two get off the horse, Mu Hong couldn't help but excitedly said: "Brother Ji, I also want to..."

Mu Yushang tugged at him forcefully, before finishing the rest of the sentence, Mu Yushang clapped his hands and said, "Brother Ji is too powerful, and brother is also great!"

Mu Yuan patted her on the head lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother knows how much he weighs, but it's all up to Shen Zhi to carry it. Little sister doesn't need to coax me."

They have known each other for a long time, and Ji Jin didn't want them to be too formal, so he let them still address each other as "Brother Ji" in private.

Mu Yushang stuck out his tongue with a smile: "It's just that Brother Ji is too powerful, no one can match."

Mu Hong's eyes glowed, and he yearned for it: "When will I be as powerful as Brother Ji!"

Chen Liang, who took away the target and came over, said: "Second Young Master, if you practice for ten years as you are now, you will probably be able to reach the level of a general."

Mu Hong was extremely frustrated: "Ten years? Only [-]%?"

Chen Liang was the master of riding and archery recommended by Ji Jin, and Mu Hong was convinced by his words.

Chen Liang said with a smile: "The general is talented, so naturally not everyone is qualified to compare with him. Don't underestimate this successful man. In terms of riding and archery alone, the commander of the marching camp is only a tenth percentile." I think back then, the general led us, and we were invincible wherever the arrow pointed. Nowadays, there are still legends about the general in the border."

Mu Hong only focused on the key points he wanted: "Really? If you learn [-]% of Brother Ji's kung fu, you will be able to be the commander of the army battalion?"

Chen Liang laughed.

Ji Jin lightly reprimanded with a smile: "Exaggeration!" Then he said to Mu Hong, "The marching camp doesn't place much emphasis on riding and archery skills, but more on hand skills. The emphasis is different, so it's not easy to compare. Ten years of exaggeration Alright, if Second Young Master can study and practice as hard as he does now, he will achieve some success in five or six years."

"Yes, I will work hard!" Mu Hong puffed up his chest, and then saluted Chen Liang: "I will ask Master to teach me more strictly in the future."

Chen Liang patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "A good man should have such ambition!"

Chen Liang saluted Ji Jin again: "Your subordinates will refer to the general."

Ji Jin tapped his toes, and pressed against his bent knees, preventing him from kneeling: "This is not a military camp, and this king is no longer a general. Vice-general Chen doesn't need to perform such a grand ceremony."

Chen Liang still knelt down vigorously, stood up after saluting, and said with a hearty smile: "This subordinate is no longer a lieutenant general. But you still have to do what you should do." Then he sighed again, "There is no general in the barracks. It is the loss of the barracks."

Ji Jin smiled and said: "I have many good generals in Qi, so there is no one like me. Besides, I don't need to go to the battlefield. Doesn't it mean that the world is stable and there will be no wars?"

Chen Liang smiled and said: "The general is right. Besides, even if he is not in the barracks, the prince can do enough for Daqi."

Ji Jin didn't want to delve into this topic, so he asked, "Are you still used to staying here?"

Chen Liang immediately said: "Get used to it, get used to it. Mufu is a good host, and teaching students is much more comfortable than fighting. I also want to thank the prince for introducing this good job to his subordinates. Otherwise, with a cripple like me, it would be difficult to go anywhere." No one wants it."

Ji Jin comforted: "Don't underestimate yourself, although you hurt your leg, you are no better than ordinary people, you still have a whole body of ability, how can you let others look down upon you."

"That's right," Mu Hong chimed in, "Even if Master hurts his leg, I'm no match for you if you train for another ten years."

"You brat has a sweet mouth, if you're afraid you won't catch up with me, then work harder." Chen Liang cursed, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Afterwards, several people went to look around the Mu Mansion. The brother and sister introduced the personnel and affairs of the mansion in detail with great interest. Mu Yushang even took a few people to see the rabbit that he had brought back from the paddock.That rabbit has been raised fat and fat for a long time, and even gave birth to a litter of little rabbits.The little rabbit, Mu Yushang, didn't have the energy to raise it any more, not to mention that the number was too large, so he taught the cook to take it away and raise it, saying that he would cook meat for the whole house when he got fat.The lives of the little rabbits are not as good as their mothers.

At noon, we held a family banquet together, which was naturally richer than usual, but it was not too exaggerated, and it was still home-cooked.Ji Jin was very satisfied, indicating that the elders of the Mu family did not treat him as an outsider.

After lunch, Mu Qian was drinking tea with Mu Yuan and Ji Jin in the study.

Mu Qian was straight to the point and said: "The prince is here this time, is it because of the matter with Yuan'er?"

Ji Jin put down his teacup, and smiled faintly: "I should have come to visit earlier, but I never got the chance, and I don't know what capacity I should use to visit, so it has been delayed until now."

Mu Qianzheng said: "My lord, you are being polite. It is Yuan'er's blessing to be favored by my lord."

Ji Jin looked at Mu Yuan with infinite tenderness: "No, it's my blessing."

When Mu Qian saw the twinkling eyes of these two people, he knew that their love was deep, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he was really relieved.

In any case, as the second most honored person in Da Qi, King Xin was not easy for Yuan'er to be with him, and it was very easy to suffer.But for King Xin, no matter what the result is, it is not painful or itchy.If the two finally separated, others would only say that Xinwang is romantic; if they can stay together forever, Xinwang can also win a good reputation for affection.As for Yuan'er, no matter what, he couldn't escape the comments of Israel's servants, even if it wasn't the case.

If there is a choice, Mu Qian does not want Yuan'er to be with King Xin.Unfortunately, he had no choice but to support.

Now that the prince has such deep affection for Yuan'er, at least he can protect him more.

Ji Jin said directly: "This king wants to marry Yun Zhi, and I also hope that Mu Jijiu will make it happen."

Ji Jin deliberately used his identity, which means that the matter has been decided and cannot be discussed.

Mu Qian was startled, and looked at Mu Yuan, who nodded seriously: "I have discussed it with Shen Zhi, and I hope to get the consent of my parents."

Mu Qianzheng frowned: "But because of those rumors outside today?"

Ji Jin said frankly: "Yes, not all of them."

Rumors hurt people, and Mu Qianzheng is also disturbed by them.But is getting married really a good idea?Could it be just a spur of the moment?

Ji Jin seemed to see his doubts, and quickly said: "It's not impulsive, but deliberate."

Mu Yuan also said: "Father, Shen Zhi and I hope to be together frankly and clearly. Getting married is the best way."

"I see." Mu Qian took a deep breath. He didn't have the right to make decisions, and he respected the children's decisions. He quickly asked a practical question: "Then how does the prince plan to handle it? Is it still in accordance with the three books and six rules?" Employment? Who is the prince looking for as a matchmaker? When will you come to propose marriage?"

Ji Jin was light and indifferent, but his words were shocking: "Mu Jijiu has misunderstood. This king is not going to marry, but to marry. I will ask His Majesty to order a marriage. Naturally, His Majesty will be the matchmaker. As for the handling, let the Ministry of Rites handle it." It's a headache. After all," he smiled, "they have always been the least troublesome of the six."

Not only Mu Qianzheng, but even Mu Yuan was a little surprised, this was the first time he knew that Ji Jin had planned this way.

Mu Qian was so surprised that his voice trembled a little: "My lord, do you want to marry me?"

Ji Jin nodded and reaffirmed: "Not bad."

Mu Qian is holding his forehead, he needs to stroke it well.

Mu Yuan looked at Ji Jin, with some puzzlement in his eyes, but no doubts.

Mu Qianzheng straightened out his thoughts quickly, and said solemnly: "The prince has decided?"

"Yes." Ji Jin did not hesitate.

Mu Qianzheng said again: "Your Majesty, will you agree?"

Ji Jin smiled confidently: "As long as I speak, His Majesty will agree. There may be some voices from the court, but it doesn't matter."

"In this case, I will replace the wine with tea, and wish the prince everything can come true." Mu Qian raised his glass and said.

Ji Jin nodded, raised his glass and drank it down.

Mu Qianzheng felt deeply in his heart: the lord can do such a thing, why should he worry about it.

On the other side, the other two siblings of the Mu family were chatting.

Mu Hong has been thinking about the interaction between Ji Jin and Mu Yuan in the training ground in the morning. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels strange, and the more he thinks about it, the more suspicious he feels. Finally, he couldn't help but poke Mu Yushang: "Little girl, do you think it's so strange?" I don't think there is something weird between Big Brother Ji and Big Brother."

Mu Yushang smiled "Puff": "Second Brother, did you just find out now?"

Mu Hong frowned: "Little sister, what do you mean by that? You already knew it? What do you know?"

Mu Yushang pursed his lips and smiled: "Then second brother, tell me first, what do you mean by being a little weird?"

Mu Hong scratched his hair, thought for a long time, stretched out his two index fingers and slowly brought them together, and said cautiously: "I feel like they have such a relationship."

Mu Yushang let out another "puff": "Second brother is quite perceptive."

Mu Hong's eyes widened: "Is it true? When did you know, little girl?"

Mu Yushang turned his head sideways, blinking his eyes: "It was the last time, when we went to the hot spring village together."

Mu Hong was surprised: "So early? Younger sister, you are too good at hiding your words, you didn't tell your second brother."

Mu Yushang chuckled and said, "I promised elder brother not to tell anyone else, so second elder brother came out because he didn't. Daddy never met elder brother Ji at that time, so he could guess."

Mu Hong was even more speechless: "Father is so powerful?"

"Of course." Mu Yushang was very proud, "Daddy is so smart. So second brother don't think about doing bad things in the future, Daddy can tell right away."

Mu Hong said embarrassingly, "What bad things can I do?"

Then he asked again: "Then when did Big Brother and Ji get together?"

Mu Yushang thought for a while: "I don't know about that either, it should have been earlier." Anyway, I must never let anyone know about Brother Ji's thoughts about me.

Mu Hong was a little melancholy: "Brother Ji and Brother Ji are together, so will we have a sister-in-law in the future?"

Mu Yushang scoffed at him: "What do you need a sister-in-law for? What kind of sister-in-law can compare to Brother Ji?"

"That's right. Brother Ji will take us to the paddock, teach us how to ride and hunt, help me find a master of riding and archery, send me to chase the wind, and take us to the hot spring village, and give us barbecue." Mu Hong punched his palm Li, the more he talked, the more excited he became: "Brother Ji is so kind to us, of course we have to support him. Don't want to be a sister-in-law."

Mu Yushang also said proudly: "Brother Ji also quietly told me that on my birthday next year, he will also give me the little red horse from last time. At that time, I will ask Master Chen to teach me how to ride a horse too."

Mu Hong chuckled and said, "Then we'll come to the race, and your little red horse won't be able to run Chasing Wind just by looking at it."

Mu Yushang rolled his eyes at him: "Who wants to compare with you? The little red horse is smart, I just like it like that."

The two brothers and sisters talked about making troubles and time passed quickly.

It was already the climax of the moon when I left the Mu Mansion.

Only Mu Yuan and Ji Jin sat in the carriage.It wasn't until then that Mu Yuan asked: "Is Shen Zhi insisting on marrying or not, is it to protect my reputation?"

Ji Jin knew that Mu Yuan had this question, and he didn't intend to hide anything.They know each other very well, and no one needs to pay silently.Be open and clear, even with concessions and compromises.They have their own way of getting along, and there is no such thing as who sacrifices for whom.

Ji Jin said calmly: "Since it is a marriage, in the eyes of the world, there is always a difference between marriage and marriage. No matter how evenly matched two men are, in the eyes of ordinary people, one side will always overwhelm the other. The overwhelming side often You will be praised for being romantic, but the one who is overwhelmed will inevitably be laughed at a few times. I insist on being the one to marry because I want to tell the world that between you and me, Yunzhi has the upper hand. In this way, when it comes to Yun Zhi, people will only praise it, even the king of Xin in the dynasty can win, it is really extraordinary. No one will say that you serve others with color, whose restraint it is."

Mu Yuan was silent for a while, then said calmly: "I don't care about these things, others can say whatever they want."

"But I care." Ji Jin smiled, but his eyes were firm, "I said before, I can't allow Yun Zhi to suffer any criticism or slander."

"But if this is the case, the one who gets criticized will be cautious." Mu Yuan said seriously.

"If someone must be criticized, then let me do it." Ji Jin put one hand on Mu Yan's hand, and continued, "Listen to me, it's not because I have to pay more. It's because, I I am the king of Xin. I am the most powerful person in this country other than Your Majesty. Who dares to really criticize me? Even if there is, I dare not say it clearly. This is the benefit of power. Zhi also said that it’s nothing more than a pain in the ass. Besides, an unstained and powerful Xin Wang makes opponents even more afraid. I’ve been standing on the edge of a cliff for a long time, and I want to withdraw some So, Yunzhi can understand."

Ji Jin has already spoken to such an extent, if Mu Yuan refuses again, it will be hypocritical.

Mu Yuan looked at him with burning eyes: "I won't question Shenzhi's decision, I just hope Shenzhi knows that we will always be one. We share good and bad, we share life and death, we share honor and disgrace."

People with the same mind and words are so easy to understand!

As he approached the house, Mu Yuan said softly, "From today onwards, I won't be staying overnight at the palace."

Ji Jin nodded: "Okay."

When the carriage arrived at Tiaoliuzi Lane, Ji Jin kept sending people to the door of the house.

Mu Yuan told him to stop, stretched out his hand to adjust the cloak for him, and said softly: "Take care of yourself, don't worry me."

Ji Jin's eyes were full of smiles: "Yun Zhi, don't worry."

The two looked at each other for a long time in the moonlight, and the surroundings were very quiet. I don't know how much time passed, until the horse pulling the cart scratched its hooves and made some noises.

Ji Jin turned around to leave, but Mu Yuan couldn't help calling him again.

Ji Jin looked back, and Mu Yuan finally said: "If things are too difficult, don't force them. We are always together."

Mu Yuan believes that His Majesty must be on Shenzhi's side, but he will not forget that Shenzhi's political enemies in the court will spare no effort to stumbling him.

Ji Jin smiled proudly: "In Daqi, as long as I think, there is nothing Ji Jin can't do! Yun Zhi just wait for my news."

The white figure disappeared into the black carriage, and it wasn't until the carriage walked out of the alley that Mu Yuan turned around and entered the door feeling lost.

When Ji Jin mentioned the marriage proposal to Xue Chang, Xue Chang was not surprised at all, and said with a narrow smile, "I have been waiting for Shen Zhi to ask for this decree for a long time."

Ji Jin didn't care about his teasing, and emphasized: "Your Majesty, please make it clear that you will marry me to Yunzhi."

Xue Chang's complexion changed, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Is it necessary for Shen Zhi to do this? So what if he is talked about a few times? Shen Zhi is too protective."

Ji Jin comforted: "I'm not all here to protect Yunzhi." Then he repeated the reason he told Mu Yuan in the carriage last night, emphasizing the intention of self-defilement.

Xue Chang squinted, not quite convinced: "After all, it's not because of Mu Yunzhi. If Shen Zhi had thought of self-defilement, why wait until now? Shen Zhi looks humble and polite, but in fact he is very arrogant. Caring about what other people think."

Ji Jin smiled: "Your Majesty also said that I don't care about what other people think, so it's the same with this matter now. What I care about is what others think about Yun Zhi. As for myself, I believe in the king dignifiedly. Besides Your Majesty, who else is there?" Dare to criticize?"

Xue Chang smiled and said intentionally: "So what if there are still people who speak nonsense? Is Shen Zhi planning to use power for personal gain?"

Ji Jin raised his eyebrows and said: "I, Ji Shenzhi, was born in a powerful family. I have always fulfilled my duties. I have never used my power to seek power. I have risked life and death several times. I have been loyal to the country and pleaded for the people. This pile of piles can always be worth it now. Be selfish."

Xue Chang sat up straight and sighed.
