Now that Gongzi Sheng has become the crown prince, Guo Xuan has also become the crown prince's renouncer. He had just returned from the East Palace to his mansion and got off the carriage. He saw a large number of people gathered outside his mansion. He was stunned for a moment. .
When everyone saw the arrival of the prince's servant Guo Xuan, they all stepped forward to greet Guo Xuan with a smile and get close to him.
Guo Xuan glanced at the crowd of tourists gathered outside his residence. Most of them were familiar faces. Many of them were servants who had gone to the residence of Prince Sheng, Lord of Changping in the past. Now that Prince Sheng suddenly became the prince, everyone was naturally jealous. He came to visit Guo Jue, a popular figure in front of the prince.
At this time, a short and fat man with a rich appearance among the crowd took the lead to step forward and salute Guo Xuan: "I am Song Zhong, who used to be a guest of Lord Changping's house. Today I have come to pay homage to Mr. Guo..."
Other visitors also came forward to express their goodwill. They knew very well that the threshold of the East Palace was too high and they were no longer qualified to climb up to it. It would be a good strategy to settle for the next best thing and stick to the popular person in front of the Crown Prince. No, if someone just says something casually, you will get the opportunity to perform in front of your leaders, and a bright future will follow.
Guo Xuan naturally understood the little thoughts of these people. He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, you and I were both guests of the Changping Lord's Mansion..."
Guo Jue suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words. In the past, he transformed into Feng Wei and they were all guests of Changping Jun's Mansion. He was familiar with many people. He wanted to come forward to recognize each other, but suddenly realized that he was now His true identity has been restored. These acquaintances in front of him don't know him now. They only know Feng Wei from the past.
Guo Xuan had no choice but to pretend to be meeting for the first time, stepped forward to greet him and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you are all guests when you come to the door. Guo is honored, please come to the mansion first."
After saying this, Guo Xuan turned sideways and invited everyone to enter the house. After saying this, everyone who came to visit Guo Xuan showed joy on their faces.
Guo Xuan negotiated with everyone and went into the mansion. Everyone in the mansion was at a loss when they saw so many people coming to the house. Guo Xuan calmly ordered his entourage to prepare a banquet to entertain everyone.
At the banquet in the lobby, all the tourists came forward to toast Guo Xuan and flatter him. This was the first time for all the tourists to hear about this popular man in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Today they came to make fun of him. Familiarity brings us closer to each other.
In fact, they knew very well in their hearts, not to mention that they were disciples of Lord Changping's house in the past, but since Lord Changping lost power, they immediately switched to other families without even saying hello. Things are unpredictable, and now Lord Changping has become the prince. The threshold of the East Palace was too high. They couldn't cross it, so they could only hope to ingratiate themselves with the upstart in front of them.
Guo Xuan took a look at these old colleagues who were chatting in front of him, and secretly smiled bitterly. He certainly understood the purpose of these people visiting him with heavy gifts. They just wanted to get along with the popular person in front of him, the Crown Prince. Fortunately, I just want to find a career path for myself in the future.
I remember that when Lord Changping was in power, they were still as arrogant as they are now. After losing power, they turned against each other and became ruthless. But now Guo Jue enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by stars. During the banquet, Guo Jue was polite on his face. , but I was secretly proud in my heart. I didn’t expect that I would be here today? Hahaha, things are really changing.
A few days later, Guo Xuan came to the East Palace to run errands with the prince as usual. He said it was because the prince had given up his job, but it was indeed a casual job. He had nothing serious to do. He just spent time with the prince to study, play chess, and hunt. The government affairs of the court were still out of focus for the time being. It's not Donggong's turn to intervene.
Although there is nothing serious to do, Guo Xuan doesn't take it seriously. You can't just look at the present, but also the future. As long as the prince ascends the throne, Guo Xuan will not be who he is now. Now he is just a stranger. In the future It is not necessary to be a commoner, and those who visited Guo Juipan in advance to make friends naturally understand this truth.
At this moment, the prince Mu Sheng was still reading the memorial carefully. When he saw Guo Xuan coming, he couldn't help joking: "Guo Xuan, I heard that your residence has been very busy in the past few days. People visiting you are like people crossing the river. Crucian carp, I can’t wait to step through the threshold of your home.”
Hearing this, Guo Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, it is all thanks to your great blessing that I, Guo, am today. They are not here for me. They are clearly here for you, Your Highness."
Mu Sheng laughed when he heard this and couldn't say no.
Guo Xuan continued: "Your Highness, the reason why I have so many good friends is to select the available people for the future Mingjun and Holy Lord, and to contribute my small contribution to creating a peaceful and prosperous era for our new dynasty."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes! If you have any suitable candidates, you can recommend them to work in the East Palace."
Guo Xuan was secretly happy and nodded in agreement.
His Highness the Crown Prince naturally understood the meaning behind Guo Xuan's words. The future Mingjun Holy Master was alluding to himself.
At the same time, Mu Sheng also sighed secretly in his heart. Ever since he took the position of prince, Guo Xuan's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a long time ago. He was no longer as close as before. His speech was obviously much more respectful on weekdays. Although he is constantly flattering, he can actually understand Guo Xuan's mentality of positioning himself. The status is different, which is the reality.
Outside the East Palace, the cold wind was biting, but inside the palace it was as warm as spring. At this time, an eunuch came forward and handed over a letter of greeting and said: "Your Highness, Ruimu He, the crown prince of Tuli of Dongyue clan, pays homage to His Highness."
When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved and he said, "I'll invite you soon." Suddenly he changed his words and said, "No, I want to welcome the crown prince in person."
Seeing that His Royal Highness was about to go out, the eunuch hurriedly took a large cloak and put it on the Prince. Mu Sheng took one step at a time and walked out of the East Palace. Outside the Qingyang Palace, he saw a group of dozens of Hunnic knights standing in the dust. Coming from afar, the knights protected the carriage and horses in the middle, as if there was someone important in the carriage.
When the leader of the Hunnic knights saw His Royal Highness the Prince was coming, he quickly dismounted his horse and bowed in salute: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Prince. I haven't seen you for several years, but His Highness still has the same style."
This person is the prince of Tuli, Ruimuhe, whom we met several times at the Alimutai Conference a few years ago. After not seeing him for several years, he is not as handsome as when we first met him. He has already intentionally grown a beard. , looks a lot more mature, and coupled with his tall stature, he looks like a reputable prairie man at first glance.
Mu Sheng saw that he was covered in dust along the way and his beard and eyebrows had been blown white by the wind and snow. He smiled and quickly stepped forward to help him stand up and said:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. Please come quickly. It's snowing and freezing outside. It's been a long journey for Your Majesty, so I'll go into the palace with you to warm up."
Hearing this, Ruimu He smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, you are worried. The wind and snow in the southern country cannot be compared with the wind and snow on our northern grasslands. This bit of coldness is nothing to us men of the Dongyue clan."
Mu Sheng laughed and said, "That's true. The men on the grassland have always endured hardships and stood hard work. They are all heroes. But why did the prince come to visit Gu today?"
Ruimu He smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, do you still remember the agreement you made with my third sister?"
There was a hint of surprise on Mu Sheng's face. He quickly looked at the carriage behind Ruimu He and asked, "Princess Yi is here too?"
Ruimu He nodded and said, "Your Highness, it is my third sister who is in the car."
After saying that, Ruimu He turned around and called out: "Third sister, come out and see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Before he finished speaking, a Hunnic knight stepped forward and opened the car door. He saw a red-dressed woman in traditional Hunnic attire holding the car door. She glanced at Young Master Sheng, who was now the prince, and saw her beautiful eyebrows and black eyes. , with bright eyes and white teeth, but a trace of expectation in her eyebrows, she stretched out her white wrist as if to get out of the car.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to catch her catkins, and carefully helped her get out of the car. The two looked at each other. They had not seen each other for several years. Ruimu Yi raised his head and looked at Mu Sheng, then lowered his head shyly. Go, but she couldn't believe that the relationship between the two could be renewed.
Mu Sheng looked at the smile on her brows and her bright brown eyes full of his own figure, and knew that she had always had him in her heart over the years, unlike when she was just playing around with Mr. An Guojun. , he can still distinguish this subtle difference.
Mu Sheng knew in his heart that now that he had become the crown prince, King Tuli, an old fox, had already taken advantage of the situation and sent Princess Yi, the pearl of the prairie, to him. He was filled with emotions for a moment. Things are really unpredictable. It was King Tuli who forcibly separated the two of them in the first place. Now he is still vying to be his father-in-law. The identity of this prince is really valuable...
The eldest brother Ruimu He saw the two of them flirting with each other as soon as they met. As a person who has been there, he was secretly happy that the third sister was lucky enough to marry the one in her heart, even though he had personally sent the third sister to An Guojun's house to make an engagement with the young master. He is also the person...
Ruimu He secretly admired him in his heart. Fortunately, his father did not immediately agree to Gongzi Xiu's request for a formal marriage. Otherwise, the third sister would really have fallen into a trap. Gongzi Xiu was deposed as a commoner and had long been worthless. Now he can reach the rank of His Royal Highness. Even Ruimu He himself admired his father's prediction of the changes in the current situation in the court. As expected, Jiang was still very old. He must not easily place a bet until the last moment.
Ruimu Yi was lost and found, and Mu Sheng was extremely happy. He took Ruimu Yi's jade hand and turned around to go to the palace. Ruimu He sent the knights who came with him back to the post station, and he followed the two of them with a smile. The palace is gone.
In the main hall of the East Palace, Ruimu Yi was sitting next to Mu Sheng with a smile on her face, pouring wine for him, just like she was beside Lord An Guo that day when the envoys from all nations visited the Central Plains.
In the palace, Mu Sheng and the crown prince Ruimu He were chatting and laughing, drinking and having fun.
After the wine with the prince was full, Mu Sheng suggested: "Your Majesty, it's not easy for you to come to the Central Plains. How about you and I go out to the city to hunt together?"
Ruimu He smiled and agreed: "That's natural. His Highness the Crown Prince invites you, and I should follow."
Ruimu Yi also said: "Your Highness, I will also go with you."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng grabbed Ruimu Yi's arm, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, no problem, let's go together, hahaha."
When Ruimuhe heard that the prince invited him to hunt, he was naturally very happy. Whether it was the Huns tribe or the Jin Dynasty, only people with relatively close relationships would invite each other to hunt together in order to draw closer to each other. This made Ruimuhe He looked like one of his own, and it seemed that Yi Mei was still very important in the prince's heart.
The prince's guard consisted of hundreds of horses, protecting the three of them as they went hunting outside the city. The three of them rode horses together, with Ruimu Yi beside Mu Sheng. At this moment, he felt so satisfied that everything in front of him was so unreal. , just like a dream, he took over the position of prince inexplicably, and even Ruimui, the pearl of the prairie, returned to him naturally. There is nothing more satisfying in life than this.
Ruimuhe stayed in the East Palace for a few days, sent his third sister to the prince, and then set off back to the grassland.
Mu Sheng said goodbye to his uncle and returned to the inner palace, where he saw Ruimu Yi seriously learning to be a female celebrity.
At this moment, Ruimu Yi was clumsily learning to be a female embroiderer under the guidance of the palace maid. Mu Sheng stepped forward to observe curiously and saw the crooked look of her embroidery, which made her feel a little funny.
Seeing Mu Sheng coming, Ruimu Yi put down the sewing in her hands with some annoyance and said, "Your Highness is laughing at me. I am so clumsy that I can't learn well."
Mu Sheng stepped forward and comforted him: "It's okay. Sun Gong's death will be exhausted, and his efforts will eventually go to the sea. As time goes by, he will develop a good pair of skills. There will always be lazy people who accomplish nothing in this world. As long as you are sincere If you like it, you will always get better at it.”
Ruimu Yi heard Mu Sheng's encouragement and nodded in agreement. Stars seemed to be shining in her eyes when she looked at Mu Sheng.
Ruimu Yi was close to Mu Sheng's arms and could stay with her sweetheart. At this moment, her heart was extremely sweet.
Mu Sheng said: "Yier, I recently got a horse. How about we go out to the palace to hunt together tomorrow?"
Ruimu Yi nodded desperately and said: "Well, I'm bored to death from staying in this palace all day. I can't find my way back even when I go out. What do you think you Central Plains people do for building so many houses?" ? Many of them are empty and unoccupied, which makes me often get lost. Our grassland is better. When you open the tent and go out, you will see the endless grassland. Living here always makes me feel very depressed. "
When Mu Sheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Yier, as time goes by, you will naturally get used to it. After you and I get married, how about we go to the grassland to meet your father and brother?"
Hearing this, Ruimu Yi nodded happily and said, "Yes."
Mu Sheng took Ruimu Yi's hand and pulled her into his arms. Ruimu Yi also snuggled quietly beside him. He looked at the beauty in his arms and felt angry. The two looked at each other and Ruimu Yi also Seemingly emotional.
Mu Sheng asked: "Yier, we haven't seen each other for so many years, do you miss me?"
There seemed to be tears flashing in Ruimu Yi's eyes, and she said emotionally: "Your Highness, I miss you all the time. After the meeting that day, my father confined me at home. Although I couldn't help myself, I still couldn't stop it. I am thinking of you, I pray to God every day, I hope you will not forget me, God is so pitiful, God will actually help us."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he hugged her tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Yier."
Mu Sheng looked at Yi'er's delicate lips and kissed her slowly. Ruimu Yi seemed to have been ready to sacrifice her life for her lover...
