The eldest brother has been dead for so long, but they haven't given up yet.
As soon as he heard that his father wanted to make him the crown prince, he could not help but take action.
It's time to uproot them, Mu Qingyun narrowed his beautiful eyes.
After this incident, Mu Qingyun no longer had the mood to wander around.
He walked to Yun Qingyue and said to her apologetically, "Yue'er, I still have things to deal with. I can't continue to accompany you."
Seeing Mu Qingyun's expression, Yun Qingyue realized the seriousness of the matter.
She said she didn't care, "Your Highness, if you are busy, go ahead."
“Today, I had a very happy time.”
"We'll meet again on Mid-Autumn Festival."
Mu Qingyun called the secret guards and sent Yun Qingyue back to the Yun Mansion safely.
After returning to the palace, Mu Qingyun sent Mu Nanyan back to the late concubine, and then began to deal with the remnants of the eldest prince.
After much effort, he uncovered the mastermind behind the hunt for him and wiped out the remaining forces of the eldest prince.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
The palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and it was brightly lit and full of peace.
To celebrate the victory in the war, Emperor Hui held a grand banquet for the soldiers.
The banquet was held in the Zichen Hall. At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was lively. All the soldiers were wearing armor and sitting in their seats.
They were not bound by rules, they ate meat and drank wine with big mouthfuls, and they were having a great time.
Emperor Hui was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on a high seat.
He picked up a glass of fine wine, walked down from his high seat, and said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, thanks to you for defending Nanzhao State, the people can live and work in peace."
"I feel relieved to have you guarding the Nanzhao Kingdom. I will drink first as a token of my respect."
Emperor Hui drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Long live His Majesty."
Then, Mu Fan stood up, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and said to Emperor Hui: "Your Majesty, on behalf of all the soldiers, I thank your majesty for your trust."
After finishing his drink, he poured another glass of wine, faced the soldiers, and said loudly: "Soldiers, you are all great. This general toasts to you."
As soon as Mu Fan finished speaking, someone shouted, "General Mu is heroic."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Emperor Hui was very satisfied with this scene. What he wanted was for his soldiers to eat and drink well.
In the lively atmosphere, Emperor Hui commended the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the battle between Nanzhao and Cang'ao.
When talking about Mu Qingyun, Emperor Hui paused for a second.
"My second prince, Mu Qingyun, is talented and brave. I am very pleased."
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on him, expecting what he would say.
"On this auspicious day, I declare that the crown prince of Nanzhao is the second prince Mu Qingyun."
This announcement was undoubtedly a bombshell, and no one has yet to react.
Mu Qingyun, who was mentioned, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Hui, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, father. I will never let you down."
At one moment, everyone who finally reacted congratulated Mu Qingyun.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
Some people who congratulate are sincere, while others are just pretending.
However, Mu Qingyun didn't care.
At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very imposing and has made great achievements in battle at a young age. I think it is time for His Royal Highness to marry a concubine and have children."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers all echoed him.
Ning Ruyan, who was sitting in her seat, looked at Mu Qingyun expectantly.
The minister who just spoke was arranged by her aunt, Concubine Rong, so that she could have the opportunity to become the second prince's concubine.
There was a lot of noise below, which gave Emperor Hui a headache.
He knew his son had someone he liked and didn't want to make things difficult for him.
He threw the topic to Mu Qingyun. "Yun'er, what do you think..."
When Mu Qingyun heard that he was being forced into marriage, his face darkened.
It is one thing for him to take the initiative, but it is another thing for others to force him.
He had planned to propose marriage to the Yun family after some time.
And now, these people disrupted his plans.
They must want to force it on someone he doesn't like, but he can't do as they wish.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingyun's face turned extremely ugly. He said leisurely: "Father, I already have someone I like and I'm still in contact with him."
It means that he doesn't need their "kind" arrangement and he rejected their offer.
Emperor Hui laughed, "It seems that Yun'er has her own plans. You don't have to worry about it."
Emperor Hui took a tough stance to protect his son's interests.
Humph, how dare those people be so presumptuous and try to interfere in the prince’s marriage.
When the minister who made the proposal saw that Emperor Hui had rejected it outright, he dared not say anything more.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
At this time, the guard's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, the prince of Dongling, Rong Jingheng, has arrived."
"Please come in quickly."
[Strange, why did Rong Jingheng come at this time?]
Mu Nanyan was a little curious.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder whether the prince of another country had any purpose in coming at this time.
As soon as Rong Jingheng walked in, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
His pale face was as smooth as fine porcelain, and the most attractive thing was his glass-like eyes.
His once thin body has become handsome and tall.
It seems that the medicine that Mu Nanyan gave him before cured his illness.
He walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Emperor Hui and said, "Jingheng greets His Majesty."
Emperor Hui waved his hand, a smile on his face, "Your Highness, you are too polite. You have come all the way here, what can I do for you?"
Rong Jingheng's gaze scanned the hall and finally fell on Mu Nanyan.
Mu Nanyan felt the gaze that could not be ignored, and her hand holding the thing paused for a moment.
She raised her head and met his eyes.
The other party just smiled at her and said, "Jing Heng came here specially for the little princess."
What's going on? Rong Jingheng gave her a weird feeling. He was unlike the Rong Jingheng she had met before.
Maybe it was because she hadn’t seen him for a long time, Mu Nanyan suppressed the confusion in her heart.
"Oh" No matter how confused you are, you still have to treat others with courtesy.
Emperor Hui arranged him to sit not far from Mu Nanyan. "Come here, please give him a seat."
No matter what purpose he came for, once he has a conspiracy, he will not let him succeed, Emperor Hui thought secretly.
After Rong Jingheng sat down, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip without paying attention to the looks of the people around him.
After a while, the guard came to Emperor Hui and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Tianqi has sent a great gift."
"Show it up."
He wanted to see what the gift was.
Why did Jiang Yunjing come here to join in the fun at this time? Mu Nanyan muttered to herself.
Everyone saw two guards lifting a box, which looked quite heavy.
As the box opened, the contents were revealed.
This is a jade carving in the shape of a flying dragon, with four large characters written underneath: Peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
Ordinary jades are of normal size, but this jade carving has a warm color and is carefully designed and carved, so its value is naturally different.
