Chapter 11 Did he laugh?



"Boss, bring the food! We don't want this or that, just bring everything else!"

Huo Yun'er was generous, but Yi Er was also heartbroken about the money.

Murong Jin was helpless, but since there was food she liked here, she didn't feel it was a waste of money. She was the regent, so she naturally had money. Besides, she was the young master of the Murong family, so she wasn't short of money.

Having endured so much hardship in the military, he felt that nothing should be wasted, no matter what he did.

"By the way, cousin, isn't Uncle coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Murong Jin: "Yes, he's still out of town and might not come back." The old man is making plans. While arranging things for Di Junlan, he's also putting some problems on her mind, all to make the two of them get along peacefully and to make her stop coveting that position.

Although she didn't know why her father did this, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

If you feel sorry for her, you should support what she does.

...

Achoo!

Murong Zhi sneezed, looking at the envelope on the table, feeling a pang of sadness. If his daughter wanted the throne, he would simply take it for her. But unfortunately, if his daughter were to compete with Di Junlan for that position, she would ultimately die…

He would rather his daughter live a good life than have her fight for power.

It's all that old monk's fault. He said my daughter was destined to be an emperor, but she was prone to falling from grace. Also, for some reason, that phoenix star was entangled with my daughter's main star.

A girl is a woman, so Fengxing can't exactly be called a man...

However, it's also possible. After all, the daughter has the protection of the Emperor Star, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Phoenix Star is a man.

I hope my daughter won't drift further and further away from her old father. After all, she only needs to investigate to find out that he's been helping Di Junlan...

If he doesn't help Di Junlan, his daughter will die; if he helps Di Junlan, his standing in his daughter's heart will decline...

No social status is more important than his daughter's life. He doesn't want to dream of his daughter being pierced by a thousand arrows at all.

Murong Jin ate a lot of what she wanted, so she was in a good mood that day and bought a lot of things to give to her cousin, after all, that girl was clever and mischievous.

Yi Er: "..." Never mind, never mind. If I don't eat chili peppers, I won't fall into a coma. If I don't fall into a coma, I can eat to replenish my nutrition.

Since the master started abstaining from certain foods, he has been smiling less than before.

Li Huan has made great contributions and is now an Imperial Censor, in charge of the Ministry of Supervision, the administrative head of the Six Ministries.

That kid's good. We can ask him for help if we ever need anything.

Murong Jin closed the envelope and listened to the sounds of commotion outside, and the female guard beside Yun'er...

Well, he's not a bad person, and he's a decent person.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Murong Jin has received an invitation to attend a banquet at the palace in seven days.

Jin Nanzhou belongs to Jin'an Kingdom, but as for Meng Kingdom, I don't know who they sent. It's not worth it for a vassal state to rush over for the Mid-Autumn Festival; it would take too long. They would come to offer their blessings to Da Cheng during the New Year, though.

"Cousin, what did I do that night?"

"Let Yi Liu take you out to play. It will be very lively that day. I'm going to the palace. It's not fun there, so you don't need to go."

Huo Yun'er nodded, "I know. The palace is too chaotic. I'm afraid of causing trouble, so I won't go. I'm also afraid of being targeted."

Murong Jin's lips twitched. Oh well, it's good to be simple-minded.

"Jin Nanzhou is the young prince of Jin'an. He is currently living in the Regent's Palace because the Regent saved his life."

Emperor Junlan nodded. "The envoy from the Mongol Kingdom has arrived. Have the Ministry of Rites receive him."

"Oh, Your Majesty, there's also a letter from the Prince of Zhenbei."

Emperor Junlan paused for a moment. He knew about the Prince of Zhenbei, after all, he had been following the letters sent by the Prince of Zhenbei for the past two years. The letters contained not only the Prince of Zhenbei's opinions, but also some experience in handling government affairs left by his father.

He couldn't understand why the Prince of Zhenbei, who was assisting him, had forgotten his own son.

If Murong Jin had rebelled, he could have easily replaced him, but Murong Jin did not, and even the Prince of Zhenbei stood on his side.

If Murong Jin knew, wouldn't he feel heartbroken?

"What is the Regent doing?"

"Your Majesty, the Regent has recently been accompanying Miss Huo on outings and shopping trips."

Di Junlan: "Going shopping?"

"Yes, the Regent's cousin has a cheerful personality. As soon as she arrived at the Regent's Palace, she dragged the Regent out to play."

"The Regent has been smiling much more lately."

Eunuch Zhao could see that His Majesty still cared about the Regent, especially the Regent's power. If the Regent could be brought into his own hands, it would naturally be a very good result for His Majesty, and also for the Great Cheng.

He smiled?

Di Junlan had never seen Murong Jin smile before. It was as if this person was cold and incapable of smiling. Even when he did smile, it was just a emotionless twitch at the corners of his mouth.

"It seems so."

Di Junlan felt that this cousin must be a rather important person to Murong Jin.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. Murong Jin got up, washed and dressed, changed into her everyday clothes, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror with a serious expression.

Do I usually look fierce?

Yi's hands trembled slightly. "No." It was just that when they had a blank expression, they all felt like they had caused trouble.

I still prefer the time when my master and they played around. Ever since the accident with his leg, my master's personality has become somewhat cold.

"We've already arranged for people to guard the palace today. If anyone is suspicious, they'll be arrested immediately."

Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "How many people came from Mongolia?"

"Five envoys, one princess, and the rest were soldiers and generals, fifty or sixty people in total."

Murong Jin touched the ring on his thumb. "Have someone keep an eye on things, make sure they don't hurt our Emperor."

Yi Er understood upon hearing this, and said, "Yes!"

If the master has decided to coexist peacefully with His Majesty, then naturally they will no longer harbor any animosity towards His Majesty.

They had all changed their clothes, now wearing dark black robes, and sat in their wheelchairs with their hair hanging down their backs, topped with a jet-black hair crown, inlaid with a red agate bead.

"Tell me, should I get a couple of walnuts to play with?"

Yi Er: "No need, no need. Master looks handsome just like this. There's no need for 'stressing.' That's something only middle-aged people do."

"oh."

Yi Er silently wiped the sweat from his brow. Why did his master suddenly think like this? Could it be that he no longer wanted to fight for power and wanted to start recuperating?

"By the way, isn't the Tiger Tally divided into three pieces? Do you think Emperor Junlan would be overjoyed if I gave him one piece?"

Yi Er: "..."

Murong Jin thought for a moment, "Let's talk about it after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Di Junlan still needs to be tested. If she fails, she will keep the Tiger Tally for the time being. She earned it with her military merits, mainly because the old emperor trusts her...

She already had one tiger tally at that time, but unexpectedly, the emperor gave her the remaining two.

If word got out, people would think she was the old emperor's biological son.
