Ji Man just hugged her tightly, stared at Ning Yuxuan, and spent the night in the carriage. The next day when the sky was light, the car returned to the capital, and her eyes could not be closed because of what Ning Yuxuan said.
But Ning Yuxuan slept exceptionally well, even if the carriage shook violently, he could easily pull her over, using her thigh as a free pillow, and slept until dawn.
When getting off the car, Gui Bai held out his hand to Ji Man.
Of course, he didn't come to help her, but wanted the child in her arms. Ji Man frowned, although her hands were already sore, she didn't want to let go!
Haohao hadn't spoken to her yet, but he heard him call Daddy twice along the way, and then he was stuffed in her arms, looking at her a little shyly.
Ji Man hugged and leaned on the shaft of the car, poked his tender and tender face and said, "I'm leaving, it's been so long, you probably don't remember me."
He stretched out his little hand to cover his eyes, and murmured: "I remember."
Ji Man's eyes lit up, he hugged him unexpectedly and asked, "Who am I?"
Blinking his eyes, he thought about it for a while, then looked back at his father in the carriage: "Mother."
An indescribable joy burst out of her heart, Ji Man let out a hey, hugged her tightly and kissed her twice: "Baby."
Gui Bai stretched out his hand to pick it up, and reminded her: "Ma'am, someone should come later."
The morning light was dim, and there was no one at the entrance of the inn, but the early risers were about to come out. Ji Man kissed Hao Hao's face twice, then jumped out of the car and looked at Ning Yuxuan and said, "I will think about it carefully."
"Yeah." Mo Yuhou took it and nodded lightly.
The carriage left quietly, Ji Man took two deep breaths, rubbed his sore arms, and ran back to the room like flying.
On the carriage, Ning Yuxuan hugged her tightly, kissed her twice, and said with a smile, "You're really smart."
Giggling well, grabbing the skirt of his shirt, he asked in confusion, "Where's mother?"
Mo Yuhou was startled, pursed his lips and said, "The one just now was your mother."
Hao Hao's eyes were gloomy, and she stared blankly at him for a while: "My mother doesn't look like this."
The first time he yelled mother, he yelled at Mrs. Xia. Even if you want to change your mother, change a woman, right? A man, although his body is very fragrant and soft, but he is not his mother...
Mo Yuhou patted himself on the head secretly. He didn't care what she looked like in his eyes, but she was a child. He only knew that Ji Man was a man, so how could he be a mother
misstep misstep.
"Daddy will take you back to play, okay?" He decisively diverted the child's attention.
He giggled again: "Hmm~!"
Children are the most deceitful creatures in the world.
Not long after Ji Man returned to her room, someone came to inform her that she was going to enter the palace.
The king of Changjun wanted to go into the palace today to meet the queen mother, and he brought four people with him, one princess Shen Youqing, one guard Taxue, and two cronies. As one of his confidantes, Ji Man didn't need to sleep anymore, and went out after packing up.
"My lord, recently the people have complained about the new emperor's tyranny, and there are many remonstrances in the six books. It's just that the new emperor doesn't seem to listen."
In the carriage, the counselor Wu Yong said softly: "Since ancient times, there has been an emperor's instruction. If you don't get the support of the people, you will lose the throne. As the new emperor's brother, the prince should naturally give some advice, so that the old officials in the court can feel at ease."
Zhao Zhe listened with half-opened eyes, and Shen Youqing was in the carriage behind again.
Ji Man said softly: "It's okay to persuade, but the new emperor doesn't seem to like to listen to straightforward words. The prince can use an appropriate metaphor to make the new emperor more acceptable."
"Yeah." Zhao Zhe glanced at Ji Man with a smile: "It is said that Marquis Mo Yu will also enter the palace today."
Needless to say, I met you yesterday, okay? Ji Man nodded: "As an important minister of the two dynasties, Mo Yuhou also holds the power of the six ministries. It is reasonable for him to handle any matter big or small."
"I have always admired Yuxuan's wisdom." Zhao Zhe's eyes turned cold: "It's just that I don't like that he doesn't have any benevolence and moral constraints. It depends on the situation. It's not very happy to follow the change of master."
When the first prince and the third prince fought for the throne, Ning Yuxuan helped the third prince up, Zhao Zhe has always been worried about this matter.
Ji Man laughed dryly: "Marquis Moyu can be a sharp knife, but not one person can hold it forever. Whoever is strong enough can use it. It can stabilize the mountains and rivers, and the country can be safe."
"Your evaluation is in place." Zhao Zhe snorted and said, "If he doesn't hold this knife well, he will stab his heart. Now, isn't he loyal to the new emperor? I'd like to see it. How deep will he stab him when the new emperor declines."
Both Ji Man and Wu Yong were taken aback, and Zhao Zhe also felt a little slip of the tongue, pursed his lips and said, "I was joking, you guys will remember to bring the gift I gave to the queen mother."
"yes."
Do you want to say that Zhao Zhe will always be content as the king of Changjun? Ji Man doesn't believe it, otherwise, she wouldn't choose to work under him.
It's just that Zhao Zhe has a deep prejudice against Ning Yuxuan, probably because she was betrayed before. If she said that she wanted to teach Mo Yuhou's young son, Zhao Zhe would strangle her to death.
It's time to think of a way, and if you leave Haohao for so long, Haohao should stop kissing her at all.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace and were checked into the palace, Ji Man lowered his head and followed Zhao Zhe all the way. When he was about to reach the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw the dragon chariot guard of honor approaching slowly from a distance.
This was the first time Zhao Zhe saw him after Zhao Li ascended the throne. The little cripple who used to be bullied at will is now a high-ranking emperor.
"I see Your Majesty." Changjun Wang knelt down without hesitation, and Ji Man and others followed suit.
"Long time no see, big emperor brother." Zhao Li stopped the dragon carriage, looked down at them and said: "I never thought that you would also kneel down to me this day."
"The emperor should call himself 'Zhen'." Zhao Zhe said with a relaxed tone, "You can't break the rules just because brothers are close."
If these brothers get close, she will write their names upside down. Thanks to Zhao Zhe, he got used to being shameless, and it was impossible to refute what he said.
"It's because I lost my temper." Zhao Li smiled: "Brother Dahuang seems to be living a good life."
"Thanks to the emperor's blessing." Zhao Zhe said: "The empress dowager has also been taken care of by the emperor. I have nothing to repay, so I can only kowtow."
As he said, he really knocked down.
Ji Man lowered his head to the ground, and felt that the surroundings were suddenly quiet for a moment. After a while, Zhao Li laughed: "Brother Emperor, you are welcome. I still have something to do, so I will take a step first."
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Zhao Zhe kowtowed his head, and didn't lift it up until the dragon chariot disappeared at the end of the palace road.
Ji Man felt a little startled, and felt shocked for some reason. The king of Changjun, who had always been smiling inappropriately and was always aloof, had a much bigger image after kowtowing.
"Son, pay respects to the queen mother." Entering the queen mother's palace, Ji Man and Wu Yong knelt behind holding gifts.
The queen mother smiled lightly and said: "Get up, it's rare to come back once, don't waste time on saluting."
Zhao Zhe thanked him, but when he looked up, he saw Ning Yuxuan.
Mo Yuhou stood on the side in a leisurely manner, and even saluted him: "I have seen the king of Changjun."
"Don't come here unharmed, Master Hou." Zhao Zhe still smiled, but his eyes turned cold: "How could you come to the Queen Mother when you have time?"
Before Ning Yuxuan could speak, the Empress Dowager replied, "I want to repair the palace, but the emperor doesn't seem to allow it. Marquis Mo Yu took the initiative to discuss the budget with Ai's family to see how it can be repaired."
Hearing these words, Zhao Zhe's expression changed a lot: "I see."
Ning Yuxuan cupped his hands and said: "I won't bother the Empress Dowager and the prince's reunion, let's go ahead."
Zhao Zhe nodded, and Mo Yuhou walked out of the hall without looking sideways.
"Why do you show your face to him?"
All the maids in the surrounding area retreated, leaving only a few cronies and the princess. The queen mother took Zhao Zhe's hand and said earnestly, "The new emperor is not my own, and I have no feelings for him. I will rely on Marquis Moyu to take care of me from time to time in this palace, otherwise the palace will not be able to be repaired."
"Why didn't the queen mother tell uncle?" Zhao Zhe frowned: "You don't have to wrong yourself like this."
"It's not easy for the previous court to ask about the matter of the harem. In addition, the treasury is in short supply recently, so it is really impossible to get money." The Queen Mother said: "How are you in Changjun?"
Shen Youqing took a step forward and helped to answer: "I have been serving the prince all the time, Changjun is considered rich and life is easy."
"You were right to take a step back." The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, "I didn't expect that the second child would turn the tables in the end..."
Zhao Tuo took a look at Ji Man, and pulled the queen mother to change the subject to say something else.
The Queen Mother still said a lot of good things about Mo Yuhou, and it seems that he was indeed taken care of a lot. Zhao Zhe couldn't figure it out, why was he so nice to the Queen Mother
"I think that Mo Yuhou is showing his favor to you." Wu Yong said in the car on the way back: "The Xiao family's power is still there, and it is much better than the Nie family. Probably the new emperor's administration should make many People are dissatisfied, so Mo Yuhou has the heart to rely on you again?"
"No." Ji Man interrupted Wu Yong.
Zhao Zhe looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
"The Mo Yuhou I know will not take any action when the wind direction is not clear." Ji Man said: "Now the government is still stable, there is no need for him to take the risk of offending the new emperor to show his favor to the prince. On the contrary, I feel that Mo Yuhou really wants to take care of the queen mother this time."
"Oh?" Zhao Zhe snorted twice: "How did you see that?"
"At the time of the coup, I was not in the capital, so I don't know the specific situation." Ji Man said solemnly: "Dare to ask the prince, in the battle for the throne with the third prince, did you take the initiative to give in, or did Marquis Mo Yu help the third prince to grab it?"
Zhao Zhe paused, frowned, and said, "At that time, the third child had already controlled the situation. If I didn't give in, what else could I do? It's just that without Ning Yuxuan's last gift, the third child would not have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly."
"That's right!" Ji Man slapped his thigh: "So you misunderstood, my lord!"
