In the spring of the seventh year of Heguang, Mingtai's dream of going out of the palace to open a mansion was completely disintegrated in this year.

Zhu Yan handed over the drafted edict directly to Shang Shuling.

Today's Shang Shuling has changed into a young and new face, originally Lian Bai's mother Lian Qirong.

Situ Jun took a look at the young Shang Shuling, and when he walked out, he disapproved and said, "Your Majesty still likes to use newcomers so much."

Zhu Yan sighed and said, "It can't be helped. The old people have left one by one, and now Ah Jin has lost his pick. Lian Bai...it's really a pity."

After the eldest princess committed suicide that day.Lian Bai poked his own neck with the hairpin on his head and went too.When Zhu Yan and his party returned to the capital to be interrogated, the corpses were all rotten.

Situ Jun remembered the business, and said again: "Your Majesty, I actually wanted to say just now..."

Zhu Yan interrupted: "Needless to say, I know."

Situ Jundao: "Mingtai is still young, and he is a boy. I have always passed on my succession from son to daughter but not to son. Your Majesty now..."

Zhu Yan said with a smile: "Situ Jun, I have seen your cultivation of Mingtai. You are so strict with him and put so much effort into him. Haven't you ever thought about...?"

It is one thing to think, but another is the fact. If Dajing's rules are broken like this, Situ Jun still feels sorry for Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yandao: "Mingtai is a kind-hearted kid, gentle with others, and his temper is actually similar to that of a girl. My successor, Dajing, has always been based on whether he has a compassionate heart to help the world. Mingtai is just right for him."

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, there is no need to be in such a hurry. In the future, if you donate some harem, there may be a chance..."

"No more." Zhu Yan interrupted, and took a serious look at him.

Situ Jun's expression became clear for a moment, and finally he could only nod solemnly.

On the eighth day of March, Zhu Mingtai was canonized as the prince of Dajing Kingdom and entered the East Palace.The whole country was in an uproar for a while.

In Dajing Kingdom, princesses have always been the crown princes, and there has never been a precedent for a prince to succeed to the throne. There are a lot of discussions in the court, and some people can't sit still, and directly start to write a book, denouncing this kind of behavior for forgetting their ancestors.

"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness Ming Tai really ascends the throne in the future, what will happen to His Highness Ming Tai's future marriages? If there is an unrighteous woman who seeks to seize the throne, then my situation...is in danger!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

However, the deal was done, and Zhu Yan didn't pay much attention to these voices.

The former court's voice was quickly suppressed, but Zhu Yan did not deliberately suppress it.Because only a few days after the canonization ceremony, a bigger event directly overturned the Dajing court.

Today, His Majesty Heguang actually abolished Prime Minister Situ Jun!

Originally, when Ming Tai became the crown prince, everyone in the court felt that Situ Jun had been in the sky since then, and no one could compare with him in the future, but what is His Majesty's idea now?

It was done very quietly and very quickly.With the time of an edict, the Situ Mansion has already begun to be renovated.

The former residence of King Yongning is still there, but it has been in disrepair for a long time.Situ Jun asked someone to take the trouble to repair it, and invited the ancestors who were originally enshrined in the palace to his home.

Gradually, some officials and scholars came to pay a visit, and there was a crowd of people in front of Situ's mansion.

The formerly prosperous Situ Mansion faintly showed signs of rejuvenation, and everyone suddenly realized that the once prominent family seemed to have returned.

Penglai Island.

The waves washed to the shore one after another, and the soft sand stepped on the feet, which was indescribably comfortable.This is an island in the extreme east of Dajing. In the early morning, the sea is shrouded in mist, which feels like a fairyland.

Mu Jin lowered his head and picked up a shell, and put it into the small bamboo tube he carried with him.

A voice came from behind: "Ah Jin, there are enough of that shape, so I don't want it anymore. I want one that looks like a star."

Mu Jin took out the bottle and poured it out, with a disgusted expression on his face: "I know, I know, it's really long-winded."

Zhu Yan came over and frowned, "How dare you despise me for being long-winded!"

It's coming again, it's coming again, Mu Jin said with a sad expression: "Don't dare to dare, the little one has to work hard all day long to make His Majesty happy."

Zhu Yan stretched out her hand and pinched the face into a bun, "What you said is not sincere at all, your face clearly shows disgust."

Mu Jin pretended to be serious, threw the bamboo tube to the beach, knocked off the man's hand, and pushed him to the ground.

Zhu Yan smiled and lay on the beach, shouting: "Help, help..."

Mu Jin pressed the man under him and kissed him on the forehead.Zhu Yan shook her head: "That's all?"

Mu Jin held the man's face and pecked his lips.Zhu Yan said: "It's not enough." Mu Jin had no choice but to hold up the person's face, pry open the person's lips, hook the person's lips and tongue, suck and entangle.

The sea breeze gently blows the hair of the two of them, bringing with it a damp sea air.

After the kiss, the two lay on the beach and looked up at the clouds in the sky.The clouds in the sky gathered together for a while, entangled with each other, and were blown away by the wind for a while, floating away.

Looking at the clouds, Mu Jin imagined many indescribable pictures.This woman is so scary, coquettish and clingy, I am really poisoned.

However, I still like her so much, I feel a little flustered when I like her, and sometimes I feel a little peace of mind by pretending to be serious and watching people act like a baby.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the capital?" Mu Jin asked.

Zhu Yan said: "What are you doing when you go back, anyway, there are Situ Jun and Ming Tai."

"Ming Tai is only seven years old, how can you give up? Sigh..." Their Majesty was obviously very enterprising.If it is said that the prince is established, the prince will be established, and if the prince is said to be abolished, the prince will be abolished.Then it's up to you.Go to Penglai Island to hang out with yourself.

"The prime minister is abolished, what does the court say?"

Zhu Yan snorted and said, "What else can I say? Maybe it's because I don't miss old feelings or something? But when Situ Jun reopens Situ Mansion, those old guys will realize what's going on."

She and Situ Jun discussed the matter of abolishing the prime minister. Over the years, because of his status as prime minister, Situ Jun was often criticized in the previous court, and how many achievements that belonged to him were wiped out. He would say that he relied on nepotism, but he forgot that the Situ family used to be such a prominent and famous family, with disciples everywhere, and their descendants were all dragons and phoenixes.

At the beginning, the marriage was a helpless move, but now, it can be regarded as completely giving him freedom.

Zhu Yan stretched out her arms and put her arms around Ren's waist with a smile, looked sideways at Ren and said, "Ah Jin, I have something to tell you."

Mu Jin hummed.Since she knew Zhu Yan's plan in advance, she took a long vacation and went to Penglai alone.She also felt that this was really too much action, and she was inexplicably embarrassed to be caught in the middle, and she didn't want to face those bloody storms, so she ran here alone to hide for a while.

"Actually, I like Situ Jun a little..." Zhu Yan's voice sounded weakly.

Mu Jin frowned and looked sideways. This woman is really worrying.Zhu Yan then added with a smile: "Like my father..."

"Cough cough cough..." Mu Jin choked and sat up.

Zhu Yan also sat up and said: "It's a lie to say that there is no emotion at all when we have been together day and night for so many years. Situ Jun is very like my father, so I always thought that my future husband, the future prime minister of Dajing Kingdom, should be just like my father. He is indeed doing a good job, between us, like relatives."

Mu Jin hugged him, and murmured: "I know, I know, there is no need to explain."

Zhu Yan rested her chin on the man's shoulder and whispered, "I only like Ah Jin."

"Me too."

If you don't want to go back, you still have to go back.

Dajing Palace is still the same, but Mu Jin is not as resistant as before.She suddenly wanted to understand the reason why she ran away desperately before.

If she has her own place, without being attached to anyone, and she is free, then the palace will no longer be a pressure for her, and she can go or go.Rather than a choice that must be made.

Now that she has a mansion, the days of meeting Zhu Yan are much more diligent than before.

On this day, Situ Jun went to the palace to see Ming Tai, and Mu Jin happened to be there too.Situ Jun Mingtai came over, quickly stood up and said: "I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ming Tai hadn't seen his father for a long time, and was about to rush towards him, but he stopped in his tracks for a moment.The palace people around him reminded him, "His Royal Highness, Sir Situ is presenting to you."

Only then did Mingtai come to his senses, and said, "Pingshen."

Then he walked closer and bowed profusely, "The son has met his father." He greeted Situ Jun again with the etiquette of meeting an elder.Situ Jun was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He hadn't seen him for a few months, and Ming Tai really looked good when he walked, sat and lay down, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Mingtai took Situ Jun's hand again and sat in the small pavilion beside him.

Zhu Yan and Mu Jin sat next to each other, and Mu Jin smiled and said, "His Royal Highness not only grows taller, but also becomes sensible. In the past, Master Situ couldn't understand how to teach him, but now he is so well-behaved."

Ming Tai still looked a little shy, and replied: "The Princess is joking."

But Zhu Yan was a little distressed, and couldn't help but patted Ming Tai's head: "I didn't know how to teach before, but I just didn't want to grow up. Situ Jun is usually busy, and he pretends to be stupid on purpose so that he can take more care." Time is with you."

A trace of shyness appeared on the young man's face, and he argued forcefully, "Mother, no, I'm already stupid."

Mu Jin suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness is going to celebrate his birthday next month, oh, I'm busy again. Then in a few months, the Lord Liang and Jiang Ce will come again, and then there will be the palace examination ...Ah, my leisure time is over." Her whole body was wrinkled, and she came here like this back then, but now it's only been a year or two, and she's becoming more and more lazy.

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Ah Jin is trying to be lazy?"

Mu Jin shook his head: "Don't dare."

Situ Jundao: "The Ministry of Rites will bring in a few new recruits transferred from other places in a few days. Xia Shangshu has read them all. They are all good seedlings. Ah Jin will not be so tired in the future."

Mu Jin was taken aback: "Xia Shangshu?" Then he realized that it was Xia Xining, Gongsun Qi was gone, and Xia Xining took over the Ministry of Officials.

Since Situ Jun came out of the palace to open the mansion, he seemed to be in better condition than before. He actually had a faint sense of youthful growth. He took in a few good students and talked a little more than before. He took a sip of tea ceremony: "A few days ago, I saw that Xia Shangshu was chased by a girl to someone whom the officials insisted on marrying, and was arrested by Jing Wei on the charge of disturbing the public order in Kyoto."

Mu Jin smiled: "Which daughter is this?"

Situ Jundao: "Master Lu's family." Mu Jin was stunned: "Which Master Lu?"

Zhu Yan said: "Ah Jin, you have a good memory. Lu Guinian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, the mentor of Lord Shangguan, has been traveling around all the time. Shangguan's servant has always been in charge of the affairs of the Ministry. You should know."

Mu Jin suddenly remembered that he did mention such a thing when he had dinner with Shangguan Jing Wei.

Zhu Yan smiled and said: "It's funny, Mr. Lu suddenly returned to Beijing a few days ago, and brought back a little girl who he said was his daughter. Miss Lu's family grew up in the mountains and never knew that her father was still a high-ranking official. After a few days in Beijing, people everywhere asked, is my father really a Shangshu? When it was finally confirmed, the whole person walked with his eyes on the sky."

Mu Jin laughed when he heard this, and probably knew what kind of temper Miss Lu had.

Situ Jundao: "I saw what Mr. Lu meant. He wanted to introduce his daughter to Shangguan's servant, but they didn't see each other. One day, Miss Lu's family was playing in the streets of Jingdu, and happened to bump into Xia who was out on errands. Shang Shu. From now on, come to our Yamen Street every day..."

Mu Jin listened with gusto, clicked his tongue and said, "Then Jing Wei is all right."

Situ Jun said with a sad face: "Commander Jing didn't recognize Miss Lu, so he directly arrested her. Lu Guinian was famous for helping relatives and not helping his relatives, so he directly scolded Commander Jing."

Mu Jin laughed out loud.Princess Zhuosha has returned to Yunnan, and there is no one to support her now, so she is probably going to be scolded miserably.

While talking, the maid from the East Palace approached the pavilion and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Doctor Zhang from the Witch Hospital is here to ask the prince for his pulse."

Zhu Yan frowned and looked at Mingtai: "Mingtai, what's wrong with you?"

Ming Tai originally wanted to cover it up, but the maid said from the side: "His Royal Highness has been studying late every night recently, overworked, and caught some cold."

Ming Tai glared at him.

Mu Jin was taken aback when he heard that, the child who was unable to get up in someone's arms was really gone, now that he is sensible and grown up, he knows to study hard.

Situ Jun no longer gave orders like before, but instead scolded the maid: "Your Highness studies so late, and there is morning class the next day, don't you know how to remind me?"

The maid knelt down in fear, "I know I was wrong."

Zhu Yan took La Mingtai's hand, feeling very sorry for her, and said, "Doctor Xuan, come in."

Mu Jin watched the doctor diagnose the pulse, and asked her a question she had always wanted to ask: "Your Majesty, why is the witch hospital called a witch hospital? Is there any kind of witchcraft to treat diseases?"

Zhu Yan was startled when she asked the question, and then she smiled and said, "This name should be changed. Anyway, it won't be used anymore. Then change the name to Tai Hospital."

Mu Jin was confused, she didn't say anything just now, she just asked a question, why did His Majesty directly change the name of the witch hospital?

As the prince's biological father, Situ Jun allowed him to come to the palace to visit the prince at any time even though he was no longer prime minister.However, he had his own affairs in mind, and he often left after sitting for a long time.

Seeing Ming Tai's mental state now, Situ Jun said: "His Royal Highness, go back to rest earlier, and don't read books so late in the future."

Mingtai's small face was slightly moved.When his father was in the palace, he asked him to work hard every day, but he deliberately procrastinated.Now that my father is no longer in the palace, I really realized how much kindness and concern were contained in those eloquent teachings.

Mingtai nodded: "I know father."

Situ Jun and Ming Tai got up to say goodbye, and there were only two people left in the pavilion.

Mu Jin asked with doubts in his heart: "Your Majesty, why did you change the name of the Witch Hospital?"

Zhu Yan smiled and hugged him, then leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.

Mu Jin blushed after hearing this, she really asked a very embarrassing question just now.

It turned out that Wu Zhenzhen of the Witch Hospital had something to do with witches. During the time of His Majesty Emperor Zhu Wei, there were many men in the palace, and it was a big question who the child should be.

At this time, the witch doctor will put a Gu worm on the child, crawl on the child for a week, and then take the hair of the young masters, and after a series of complicated rituals, whichever hair the Gu worm crawls on, he will father the child. , and then a little check the date, it is confirmed.

Mu Jin was still a little worried and said, "Is it really that accurate?"

Zhu Yan smiled and said: "Is it sure, anyway, I won't need it in the future."

As soon as Mu Jin's face turned red, the other party came over and bit the small and white ear, kissed him for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Jin, when will you promise me?"

Mu Jin shook his head: "It's good now, I'm really not used to life in the palace, if your majesty gets bored, you can come out of the palace to find me."

Zhu Yan curled her lips, "You girl is different from others." The world seeks fame, fortune, status, position, and everything that makes people feel at ease and full of certainty.But Mu Jin didn't want anything.

She didn't go to the Ministry of Rites to advance step by step, and she didn't love the desire for power, but at the beginning, she just wanted to protect herself.She ran away desperately and left the palace by herself, and she didn't think much of those things in the harem.

Zhu Yan sometimes felt a little uneasy in her heart, always feeling that she was going to run away at any time, so she became more clingy and coquettish.

Mu Jin saw that Zhu Yan came to pester him again, so he held the person's face and said solemnly: "Ayan, when Mingtai grows up, you can go out of the palace with me, okay? Let's go to Penglai to collect shells, and Zhongnan to see At sunrise, go to Jiangnan to eat shortbread."

Zhu Yan looked at the person with obsessive eyes, fascinated by this title, she has her own world, they have a future, and a long, long future.Zhu Yan gently kissed Ren's eyes, nodded: "Okay."

Ah Jin is like a free bird, and love is the only thread that holds her.
