"Relying on Favor as Queen (Rebirth)"/Wu Fan

The wind from Jibei is as awe-inspiring as a bone-cutting knife. The red palace walls were painted just the day before and looked particularly new.

Mu Huai did not bring any attendants with him that day, but only took Rong Xi to Donghua Gate. Along the way, Rong Xi followed him cautiously and found that Quyun Palace was indeed very close to Jiazheng Hall.

The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by saw that Mu Huai was not in a wheelchair, but was walking steadily on the bluestone floor. They saluted him respectfully and showed expressions of shock and horror.

It was like seeing a ghost.

But there have always been a lot of strange things in the palace, and no one dared to discuss them.

The white jade railings are all carved with coiled dragons, standing in rows on their own bases, surrounding the double-eaves verandah, the magnificent Jiazheng Hall, which makes people deeply feel the majesty of the Heavenly Family.

The ministers of the previous dynasty climbed up the stairs and had to be extremely careful even in whispering, because if they spoke in the square outside Jiazheng Hall, there would be echoes.

Only the slightly rapid clatter of horse hoofs came from not far away. Mu Huai looked into the distance and saw Li Rui reining in his horse at the horizontal gate not far from Jiazheng Palace. He couldn't help but take a look.

All other courtiers had to walk into the palace from Xuanhua Gate. Li Rui had the privilege to enter the palace on horseback.

Rong Xi knew that it was not appropriate for him to follow Mu Huai anymore, so he looked at his tall and straight back and stopped at the Donghua Gate.

When the prince of Qi reaches a certain age, he will begin to listen to government affairs.

Emperor Zhuang had three sons alive, and they were all close in age. After Mu Huai's legs healed, he would all start going to court like the ministers.

The conflict between Qi State and Jin State is getting deeper and deeper. In the past few months, the two countries had small confrontations at the border, both testing each other's bottom line. Now the attack on Jin State is a certainty.

Annexing Jin State was the long-cherished wish of the late Emperor Muyou.

Mu Huai knew very well that his mother-in-law was not of high birth, and if she wanted to ascend to that position, Emperor Zhuang's favor alone would not be enough.

Literary skills and martial arts are indispensable.

Why is Li Rui so arrogant? It turned out that he fought countless battles and sacrificed his life. Although he looks strong and brave, he also has numerous battle wounds on his body.

Before the expedition, Mu Huai took the initiative to ask for military service. Although Emperor Zhuang was reluctant to let Mu Huai go to the battlefield in person, he was aware of the stakes involved and made Mu Huai the General Long Xiang.

Li Rui expressed his disdain and disdain in the court, saying that Muhuai had no experience and had never been on the battlefield with a real weapon. A prince with a good leg should not miss the chance of fighting due to stupidity and bravery.

However, Yin Cheng assured Emperor Zhuang that Mu Huai could hold this military rank, saying that if Mu Huai didn't go on an expedition this time, where would he get the opportunity to practice?

Li Rui had long disliked Yin Cheng, but in the army, there were at least 100,000 soldiers who only listened to Yin Cheng's orders, so they did not dare to touch him.

Then he said to Emperor Zhuang and Mu Huai: "Since His Highness is going on an expedition, how about bringing 20,000 soldiers as a supporting rear army and consigning grain and grass?"

Emperor Zhuang looked at Mu Huai and asked, "Zhi Yan, what do you think of General Li's proposal?"

Li Rui asked him to escort the food and grass because he didn't want him to charge forward. Mu Huai knew what he was thinking, but his expression was extremely calm.

Mu Huai looked at Emperor Zhuang with a calm expression and replied: "My son, I have no objection."

After finishing speaking, Li Rui's lips curled up slightly.

Emperor Zhuang nodded.

Mu Huai went on an expedition with the army for the first time, and he had some hidden worries about it. Escorting grain and grass was also a major event in the army. This responsibility was not small, and it was also a training for Mu Huai.

Emperor Zhuang gave Mu Huai the armor that General Longxiang deserved and the armor painted black with black light. After the eunuch who announced the decree exited Quyun Palace, Mu Huai pulled out the extremely heavy black iron sword.

There was a sound of "--", and the sharp blade glowed with sparkling silver light when it was unsheathed.

Rong Xi stood behind Mu Huai and felt a little horrified when he heard the sound. The blade reflected Mu Huai's deep black eyes, faintly concealing murderous intent.

After learning that Mu Huai was about to go on an expedition soon, Rong Xi felt as worried as those women in deep boudoir whose husbands were away from home.

Mu Huai is obviously not here, so she can feel much more relaxed.

Although it was a pledge of food and grass, the battlefield was ruthless, and there was still a chance that Mu Huai would lose his life.

When he thought about the possibility that Mu Huai might not come back, Rong Xi's heart tightened a little.

She understood Mu Huai's temperament. He was definitely not the kind of person who would hide behind soldiers and act like a coward. He asked for military leave because he wanted to charge forward.

In the past few days, he looked much gloomier, and it was extremely cold in the depths of winter. When Mu Huai looked at people, his eyes were like cold knives, piercing people's hearts.

The day before leaving, Mu Huai returned to the palace from the Privy Council late at night.

Rong Xi prepared dinner, thinking that Mu Huai would have to go on an expedition for at least a month, and even lightly applied rouge on his cheeks.

Such an attitude was quite feminine, and Rong Xi felt something bad in her heart. She really shouldn't have other feelings for Mu Huai, she should just be a good slave and be loyal to his master.

If other feelings arise, she will be the one who suffers in the end.

Just as he was about to take off the rouge on his face, Mu Huai returned to the bedroom.

There was light snow falling outside the hall, and Mu Huai still had a cold aura on his body. As soon as he entered the room, he walked in the direction of Rong Xi.

Before Rong Xi had time to greet him and salute him, Mu Huai quickly hugged her into his arms and kissed her familiarly with his cold lips.

He didn't say a word, and the kisses were as dense as falling rain.

A little turbulent.

Rong Xi groaned softly and felt that his feet were being lifted off the ground by Mu Huai.

He was so strong that she felt like she was about to be kissed.

Perhaps it was his ambition and desire for power, or perhaps it was the bottoming out of years of suppression. It was unusual for Mu Huai to go straight to the point without saying a word like he did today.

Rong Xi was out of breath. She often felt that when he treated her like this, he wanted to relieve and vent the restlessness and accumulated fire in his heart.

After Mu Huai let go of her, he saw that the beauty's eyes were slightly blurred, her cheeks were lightly rosy and dyed with a spontaneous blush, she was carefree and gorgeous.

Rong Xi finally regained his breath and saw that Mu Huai had lifted her up on the Limu Arhat bed, and said hurriedly: "...Your Highness...this slave is having her period today. You must not..."

Mu Huai stopped moving, but his dark eyes were still filled with darkness.

During the few months he spent with Rong Xi, he discovered that this woman was scheming and would sometimes play tricks on him, often making up lies to deceive him in order to avoid his closeness.

Perhaps he has become a bit spoiled by her recently, and her courage has actually become fatter.

When Mu Huai grabbed her wrist, Rong Xi understood his intention.

She felt that Mu Huai was usually diligent and quite strict with himself, but he never restrained himself in this matter.

When he held her hand and moved it downward, he whispered: "Your Highness... If you do this kind of thing all the time, it will hurt your body."

Mu Huai raised his eyes, sneered, and replied: "What? Are you afraid that I won't be able to feed you enough in the future?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Xi's face turned red again.

This man was obviously a prince who read books about sages, but why was he so straightforward and rude when talking to her?

Of course, if this was more embarrassing than that, he would say more after dark.

Mu Huai let go of her wrist, and when he saw Rong Xi's eyes dodge, he knew she was making some small calculation in her mind.

This woman was originally his little slave, but now she often plays tricks on his master. He must teach her some lessons.

Mu Huai clamped his hand on her chin, and then his thumb covered her soft lips.

As he rubbed it gently and slowly, he couldn't help but feel that her appearance had become more and more outstanding recently, and her charming and helpless appearance was becoming more and more alluring.

Rong Xi felt that Mu Huai's eyes were obviously evil, but he had no idea what he was thinking.

Those deep eyes obviously exuded danger.

——"Having your period? It doesn't matter."

Mu Huai's tone was very low and light.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Rong Xi's eyelids trembled. When she was confused, she saw the man's thin lips slightly hooked, his hand pinched her chin, and he said two words with command that made her tremble -
