stormy clouds

Zhuxi Lane.

Chang Luoyun bent over and placed the two pillows side by side, "Master Marquis, did everything go well today?"

"It went well. Prince An listened to my explanation of my purpose and went back to Lindu with a few followers." Mu Jingyi untied his belt and placed it on the shelf beside the bed.

"Yun'er, I may have to break my promise to accompany you to Zhuangzi in the countryside." Qingzhou's defense seemed rigorous at first, but in fact it was not impeccable.Now that King An has left, he is most afraid of people's hearts changing.

Chang Luoyun straightened the quilt, stood up straight and looked at Mu Jingyi, "Master Hou is busy with something, I just casually walked around the village to relax, there is nothing important."

Mu Jingyi pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, stretched out his fingers to tuck the hair covering her face behind her ears, "When this busy day is over, I will accompany you to relax."

Chang Luoyun chuckled, his eyes becoming more and more shining like stars, "Does the Marquis think that I am such a stingy person?"

Mu Jingyi smiled gently and said, "Wei Zeng, I have always known that Yun'er is a person who understands the general situation."

"That's it." Chang Luoyun said with a smile, "It's just that I have always had a question. When we were in Lindu, why didn't the Marquis let Ling'er return to Qingzhou with us?"

Mu Jingyi was silent.Can he tell her that Kong Linger's mind is not pure?

"I see that Mr. Hou seems to have a prejudice against Ling'er." Chang Luoyun said.

Mu Jingyi said: "I just feel that since her parents are dead, there is no need to come to Qingzhou."

"Although her parents are both dead, there is still her home here, so it's not an exaggeration for her to come and see it." Chang Luoyun explained, "Master Hou, Ling'er and I have known each other since childhood. My mother-in-law died young, and she Now that I have no father, no mother, no support, I just hope that for my sake, Master Hou will take care of her more."

Mu Jingyi said with a smile: "Of course I know what you are thinking. I am the one who made things difficult for you."

"It's okay to be embarrassed. It's just that Ling'er is sensitive by nature, and I'm afraid that she'll be too worried. When we return to Lindu, I will ask for her opinion to see if she is willing to live alone. Maybe she will be more comfortable. "

Mu Jingyi patted her shoulder twice, "That's fine."

Chang Luoyun said again: "I heard from Mrs. Zhang today that she was trying to set up Zhuangzi. But my mother-in-law originally bought Zhuangzi, and later Pei pawned it for me. I will not let her be satisfied." .

Originally, I wanted to leave Zhuangzi to my eldest aunt to take care of, but my eldest aunt never agreed. "

"Why don't you agree?"

"I said I was afraid of having a rift with my father."

"She takes a long-term view," Mu Jingyi said.

"Her concerns are not unreasonable, so I plan to hand over the Zhuangzi and the pawnshop to Wen Yun. That Zhang is an ignorant person, and I will not give her a cent. From now on, Wen Yun will support the second house. That’s what grandma wanted too.”

Mu Jingyi said: "You can just talk about these trivial matters, but don't worry too much."

Chang Luoyun said: "I don't have anything to worry about. I have been traveling continuously for the past few days. Mr. Hou has worked harder than me. You should rest early."

Mu Jingyi was indeed tired.

Although Prince An didn't say too many words when he conveyed the new emperor's oral instructions to Prince An, he felt that he was not as calm as on the surface.

Mu Jingyi frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.

"Master Hou, are you worried?" Chang Luoyun's gentle voice sounded in his ears.Mu Jingyi opened his eyes, and Chang Luoyun supported his head with his hands. His eyes were as clear as springs, and he was looking at him for a moment.

"When the late emperor was here, he actually favored Prince An more. But after all, the Holy Emperor was the eldest son, and he had a loyal minister like Qin Guogong to rely on him. Even if the late emperor wanted to make Prince An the crown prince, he could only do it in the end. Can't let it go.

After the death of the late emperor, Prince An invited himself out of the capital and went to Qingzhou. "Mu Jingyi's voice became more mellow in the night.

"If the late emperor had made Prince An the crown prince, perhaps Qi Country would be different from what it is now." Chang Luoyun said.

"When Prince An was more than ten years old, he showed extraordinary intelligence and was excellent in both literary and military skills." Mu Jingyi continued.

"Then this time King An asked the princess and the crown prince to come to Lindu. Did he mean to avoid suspicion?"

"I'm afraid it wasn't possible at the time, but now it seems that the presence of the princess and the prince in Lindu will always make the new emperor feel more at ease." Mu Jingyi thought of Prince An and asked solemnly before he left: "According to the Marquis, Qi Can we still fight after the country has passed this matter?"

"In all things, people's livelihood is the most important thing. The direction of the people is the direction of the government. Now that the Qi Kingdom has just experienced war, people's livelihood is the most important thing. The king is considerate of the common people, and naturally hopes that the people will have clothes to protect them from the cold and food to eat."

Prince An stood facing the wind, stared at him for a long time, and said, "I understand, Lord Marquis, please take care of yourself!"

Seeing his horse galloping away, Mu Jingyi sighed, "Your Majesty, you and I are both citizens of the Qi Kingdom in this life, and we should protect the people of the Qi Kingdom."

"Prince An is not serious." Chang Luoyun did not dare to continue.

"No," Mu Jingyi gently patted Chang Luoyun in his arms, "He has the common people in his heart and will not allow Qi Country to fall into war.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chang Luoyun finished washing up, Qing Luo hurried in and said, "Madam, Mr. Chang Er is here and said he has something important to discuss with you."

Chang Luoyun sneered, "He's coming here so early in the morning. He's also very anxious."

Qing Luo said: "I have already brought him to the flower hall. I just said that Madam has not gotten up yet and asked him to wait first."

Chang Luoyun was about to stand up, but after thinking about it, he sat in front of the dressing table and took a look in the bronze mirror, "What you said reminded me that my hair style was too loose today, Qingluo , come here and help me put on a bun, I really like this hairstyle these days."

Qing Luo cleaned her hands, walked over with a smile, and pulled out the jade hairpin on Chang Luoyun's head. The green silk from Chang Luoyun's head poured down like silk, all the way to her waist.

Qing Luo said: "Madam's hair is really good. Such good hair is tied up in a bun. It's lazy and gentle, and it's the most noble."

About half an hour later, Qingluo took care of her hair.

Chang Luoyun then stood up and said, "Biyan clean up the house, Qingluo, come with me to the flower hall."

Qing Luo agreed and followed Chang Luoyun.

Chang Pu had already drank two cups of tea in the flower hall, and was already feeling a little anxious.Seeing Chang Luoyun at this time, he put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Yun'er has become Mrs. Hou now, and her arrogance is getting bigger and bigger."

Chang Luoyun smiled slightly and said, "What did you say, father? If I had known that father was coming today, I would have opened the door before dawn to greet him."

Chang Pu didn't get the advantage, so he said with a smile: "My father and my daughter, why are you so polite? I came today to discuss something with you."

"What a coincidence," Chang Luoyun sat down opposite Chang Pu, "I happen to have something to discuss with my father. How about you talk to me first, maybe we have something in mind?"

Chang Pu made a fist with his right hand and put it on his chin, coughing lightly, "Zhuangzi in the countryside."

"What a coincidence," Chang Luoyun's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "I happened to want to tell my father about Zhuangzi, but I didn't expect that my father would actually have an idea with me."
