Mu Li came here to look for someone not just for himself. He pointed to a figure not far behind him and said to Mu Ci, "Brother, Sister Jing was also looking for you just now. Leave Xiao An to me."
Mu Ci then saw the woman in red smiling mockingly.
"Huaixuan, how are you?"
The woman in red waved to Mu Ci, and Mu Ci nodded slightly as a greeting.
Mu Li felt like he was carrying a cow when he carried Ye An on his back. Ye Xiaoan looked about the same size as him, but he didn't expect him to be so strong. However, after walking a few steps, Mu Li felt like his bones were about to fall apart. Ye An on his back also slept very uneasily and woke up not long after. The first thing he discovered was that Brother Mu had shrunk without permission.
"Brother Mu?" Ye An called out.
Mu Li turned back complainingly: "Ye Xiaoan, you are such a heartless person, you are always thinking about my brother, but it's obviously me who is carrying you on my back, okay!"
Ye An said with a smile: "It turns out to be A Li..."
No wonder I dreamed of falling from the Simmons mattress onto the bench.
"Ali, where is Brother Mu?"
Mu Li pointed in the distance unhappily. He had only walked a few steps to where they were and could see Mu Ci talking to a woman in red.
Ye An was stunned. He just took a nap, so where did the woman next to Brother Mu come from?
Mu Ci was wearing a scarlet brocade robe with floral patterns today, while the woman was wearing a bright red dress. Her black hair was braided and decorated with a few simple pearl flowers hanging on her shoulders. She smiled, as bright as a flower.
Looking at the two figures from a distance, the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, they are a perfect match. When he realized this, Ye An felt as if he had eaten a hundred lemons and they were so sour.
Mu Li said: "Shh, Big Brother is talking to Sister Jing."
"...Sister Jing?" Ye An stared at her eagerly.
Mu Li said proudly: "Sister Jing's surname is Jiang. She is a military doctor in my brother's army. She is a very nice person and has known my brother for many years."
Ye An said: "But aren't military doctors generally men?"
It’s not that he had a problem with women, but in ancient times most of the doctors who followed the army were male.
Mu Li knocked on his forehead angrily: "Ye Xiaoan, what can I say about you? How can you be so shallow? Sister Jing is a great doctor and has saved many lives. So what if she is not a man?"
After being hit, Ye An couldn't help grinning. He didn't expect that Ali had quite modern awareness in this regard and was no longer a blockhead.
This Sister Jing seems to be very capable. She and Mu Ci, a military doctor and an officer, have known each other for a long time.
Ye An nervously rubbed his hands on his knees: "What does she want from Brother Mu?"
Mu Li said, "I don't know... maybe it's military affairs. Sister Jing went to my house today to look for my elder brother, but he wasn't there. The servant said he left early in the morning, so Sister Jing and I went out to look for him."
At first, An Yi went to Mu Mansion to make an appointment directly in the name of Ye Xiaoan. If he had tried to hide it, Mu Ci would have become suspicious. This was no secret in the Taifu Mansion. Mu Li found out after a little inquiry and was almost mad at Ye Xiaoan's partiality.
Mu Li said angrily, "I knew you first, how could you go out with big brother and not invite me! Ye Xiaoan, do you know what day it is today?"
Ye An: “…”
Ye An found that he often couldn't understand Mu Li's thoughts.
Mu Li said, "Today is Chinese Valentine's Day! You and my brother are not a couple, why bother with him? Sister Jing and my brother are the ones."
Mu Li pointed his lips in the direction of Mu Ci and Sister Jing and said softly, "Don't tell anyone else this. I'm only telling you one thing. My parents like Sister Jing very much. They were planning to propose marriage on behalf of my eldest brother when he returned to the imperial city. Xiao An, you're lucky. Maybe you'll be able to drink at my eldest brother's wedding."
"What did you say?"
Ye An's breathing stagnated. Why was Brother Mu going to get married?
In front of Mu Li, he was immediately distracted. All he saw was Jiang Jing chatting and laughing in front of Mu Ci. Mu Ci's usually calm face did not show any changes, but he had the impression that Mu Ci was not a talkative person, which meant that Mu Ci was not unhappy either.
But just now, Brother Mu was carrying him on his back.
Ye An felt a tightness in his chest and felt a little uncomfortable, but then he thought that Mu Ci was going to enter the palace as a concubine, so how could he marry someone else? Could it be that Mu Li was deliberately teasing him?
Ye An was greatly encouraged and said with a smile: "Ali, you can't fool me. Brother Mu is obviously going to enter the palace!"
Mu Li: "..."
Mu Li couldn't believe it: "Ye Xiaoan, are you stupid? How can my elder brother enter the palace when he is already twenty? The selection is for men between the ages of fifteen and seventeen..."
Ye An: “…………”
Ye Xiaoan was struck by lightning!
After being reminded by Mu Li, he recalled with difficulty that it seemed, as if there was such a thing. He had indeed heard someone talk about the ages of the handsome men, but he did not think of Mu Ci. Or, he had preconceived and stubbornly thought from the beginning that the son that Master Mu was going to have to enter the palace was Mu Ci.
Thinking back, even the Master Mu mentioned by An Yi could be wrong, so the son of Grand Tutor Mu could also be wrong...
Ye An's face suddenly turned pale, and Mu Li was frightened and pushed him quickly: "Xiao An, what's wrong with you?"
Ye An came back to his senses and looked at Mu Li: "It's really not Brother Mu?"
Mu Li was annoyed and felt indescribable sadness. He said, "Why would I lie to you for no reason? You are really not my brother! Why don't you ask who wants to enter the palace?"
"…………who??"
Ye An's mind was completely blank at the moment. His previous expectations for Mu Ci's entry into the palace were as high as his disappointment. He couldn't even figure out such a simple and obvious question as who else in the Taifu Mansion would be of the same age after Mu Ci was removed.
Mu Li sighed slightly: "I can't hide it any longer anyway, so I'll just say it straight. The person who wants to enter the palace is me."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An lost his voice and said, "It's you?!"
Could it be that he couldn't marry Brother Mu, so he had to marry Ali instead? Then Brother Mu would change from being the prospective boyfriend to being the prospective boyfriend’s brother? ?
A Li, you are going to be his concubine.
Ye An looked at Mu Li with an uncertain expression.
Seeing that he refused to say a word, Mu Li became increasingly annoyed and said, "Why do you look at me like this? I am not doing this voluntarily. I am the son of the Grand Tutor and I am old enough to be selected. I, I..."
"Actually, I have someone I like, and I don't want to enter the palace as a concubine. I..."
Ye An raised his head suddenly, his eyes covered with a layer of wet mist: "You, don't want to enter the palace either?"
Mu Li nodded, and then said disappointedly: "But what if I don't want to? I am the son of the Grand Tutor, and according to the rules, I should serve in the palace..."
For a moment, Ye An actually felt that Mu Li and Ran Mei were somewhat similar, except that Ran Mei was forced to come up by her family, but Mu Li hadn't yet!
It was a pity for him that it was not Mu Ci who entered the palace, but he could not give up on himself and watch Mu Li enter the palace. He had no feelings for A Li, and A Li already had someone she loved, so why not find a way to help them get married like Ran Mei did?
Ye An's expression became stern, and he pulled Mu Li and said, "A Li, come with me!"
Mu Li wished that Ye Xiaoan could be closer to him, and as soon as Ye An took the initiative to pull him, he followed obediently.
At the same time, Jiang Jing, who had been discussing border military affairs with Mu Ci, noticed the two people who left in a hurry. She smoothed her hair and said with a smile, "Is Xiao An A-li's friend? It seems that they have a good relationship..."
Mu Ci stared at Ye An holding Mu Li's hand, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Huai Xuan?"
It was rare for Jiang Jing to see Mu Ci distracted, so she called him three times before Mu Ci responded indifferently.
Ye An was pulling Mu Li, feeling a sour feeling in his heart. He heard the female military doctor calling Brother Mu by his given name, Huaixuan, Huaixuan...
He was envious and jealous. So far, he can only call him Brother Mu. They must be very close. Even if Brother Mu doesn't enter the palace, he will get married...
Ye An didn't want to think about it anymore, so he dragged Mu Li into a deserted alley, sniffed and said, "Ah Li, listen to me, if you don't want to, don't give up easily. People can always find a way. Your father is the imperial tutor, maybe if you ask the emperor, he can exempt you from entering the palace."
Ye An forced himself to focus all his attention on Mu Li. Once the matter was brought up, he would never allow himself to fail, otherwise it would be difficult to refuse in the future. If he could convince Grand Tutor Mu, he would go to persuade the Queen Mother in person, and if they all worked together in the same direction, they would have a better chance of success.
Mu Li was touched and said, "Xiao An, thank you for thinking about me, but my father won't agree. He is loyal to the emperor and might even tie me up and take me into the palace."
Ye An: “…”
Didn’t you realize that Master Mu is so violent?
Ye An said timidly: "And Brother Mu, you can also ask him."
Mu Li shook his head slowly: "This is my own business. How can my brother help me? And my brother... Didn't I say before that my eldest brother volunteered to guard the border in front of the late emperor? In fact, he was also among the candidates that year, but he relied on his literary and military skills to make the late emperor cherish his talent."
Ye An was stunned. It turned out that there was a reason why Brother Mu volunteered to guard the border. Although being a male concubine can bring honor to the family, one will be confined in the deep palace and depend on the emperor in every way. Therefore, not everyone is like Mr. Su, who is looking forward to entering the palace.
Ranmei didn’t want to, A-li didn’t want to, and Big Brother Mu didn’t want to either…
Mu Li said: "In fact, I envy my brother, who is unrestrained and free. If I had the ability of my elder brother, I would also like to give it a try, but my father warned me that my elder brother's method would not work on me, because the previous emperor is the previous emperor, and the current emperor is the current emperor."
The late emperor had been in charge of government affairs for a long time at that time and had his own ways of dealing with the harem. He did not need to deliberately maintain a balance between the three dukes. However, the current emperor has only been on the throne for a year and is not yet fully grown. The balance of the three dukes is particularly important to the emperor and the empress dowager. Therefore, the same method would not work, but would instead cause these two to vent their anger on the Taifu Mansion. Although Mu Li did not want to enter the palace, he did not want to arouse the suspicion of the royal family by mistake.
Ye An hurriedly asked, "According to what you said, there is no other way? What will happen if I fail the audition?"
Mu Li said with a sad face, "Why can't I get through? If I show up, I will be taken into the harem. My father said that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have even said that they want to make me a concubine. Even if I am lame and disfigured, it will be useless. And if I really escape, I don't know how the Emperor will hold a grudge against me. I can't just ignore my parents and the other people in the Taifu Mansion, can I?"
Ye An sighed: "You really are..."
Can I only be a concubine?
"It's not the end yet, don't worry." Ye An comforted him, "What if a miracle happens, for example, the emperor doesn't like you either!"
Mu Li choked up and said, "It doesn't matter whether he likes me or not. It won't affect him taking me in...Xiao An, if I move into the palace, I will never see you again."
Mu Li was filled with gloom when he thought about competing for favor with other male concubines and living in darkness for the future.
Ye An thought, they would definitely meet, but he and A Li were obviously friends, how could he let A Li fuck him? It would be too embarrassing, so A Li must not be allowed to enter the palace!
Ye An patted Mu Li's shoulder and said, "Ah Li, let's think about it again. Maybe we can find a suitable solution. And the person you like, why don't you ask him to come along..."
Ye An meant completely well.
Upon hearing this, Mu Li hesitated for a long time for the first time in his life, and said with a red face: "I, I actually don't know if he has me in his heart..."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An said awkwardly: "Ali, are you still in love with me?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Kiss everyone!
Jiang Jing and Mu Ci are not a couple, Jiang Jing is Mu Ci's assistant (very simple, they should have been together a long time ago)
Today's three men and one woman may not necessarily be a gay pair.
In fact, my eldest brother almost became a toffee (get out!)
The main reason is the different political situation. In addition, there is no such thing as the eldest brother not entering the palace causing Ali to enter the palace later, because the eldest brother was in the reign of the previous emperor, and Ye An ascended the throne later, so the Taifu family must have selected someone to enter the palace again.
