She blew the wind for a while, then walked into the house again, closed the door tightly, and came to the bronze mirror like a thief.
The hands that are not working have gradually become whiter and no longer rough.
Her green fingers gently caressed her cheek, giving off a gentleness unique to Central Plains women.
When her hand touched the wrinkle at the corner of her eye, a hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Famous generals are most afraid of old age, and beauties are most afraid of growing old.
"well……"
She sighed softly in the dark room.
"That's all, how can I, an ordinary woman, dare to hope for such a heroic emperor like His Majesty?"
"The gap between me and him is like a chasm, insurmountable."
"Instead of shamelessly sticking up to him, it's better to think of him like this and hope that he and his empire will become stronger and stronger."
"He has done enough for the Mu family, but what can I bring to him? Even if it is beauty, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, who can I compare to?"
After saying that, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The touchingly simple cheeks were filled with sadness.
Finally, he slowly stood up, took a loving look at the portrait, and blew out the only candle.
What Mu Ci didn't know at this moment was that Mu Le didn't actually go far, but was eavesdropping in the yard.
When I heard her sighing and talking to herself.
Mu Le frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't expect his mother to have such worries.
"no!"
"Mom has suffered too much these years, I have to think of a way!"
the next day!
Qin Yun met with Mu Le.
The monarch and his ministers were walking and chatting in the imperial garden.
"Ale, you have matured. After experiencing several wars, you are now able to stand alone."
A Le smiled shyly and touched his head. He was still the same young man: "Father, you promoted and taught me well."
Qin Yun laughed.
"You kid has learned to be humble."
"You should have a good rest in the imperial capital these days and spend time with your family."
"I have already asked the Ministry of War to expand the army. Shenji Camp, Qinglong Guard, including Mangshan and other places, my direct troops must be expanded!"
Ah Le's eyes were filled with joy: "Thank you so much, foster father."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of the portrait he saw in his mother's room last night.
He and his wife Huo Shi made a calculation and came to the conclusion that my mother must be interested in His Majesty!
"Father, there is something I don't know whether I should ask you..."
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Say it, coyly."
A Le pondered for a moment and then tentatively said: "When I was away on the battlefield, I heard that my mother would often come to ask Your Majesty about my situation."
Hearing this, Qin Yun looked strange for a moment, and immediately thought of Mu Ci that night.
"Yes, she has been here."
"She's worried about you."
"What's wrong?"
Ah Le nodded and said thoughtfully, "No, I just wanted to ask."
Qin Yun asked casually: "How is everything going at home? How is your mother?"
Hearing this, Ale's eyes lit up.
Is Your Majesty concerned about my mother?
"She's...not good!"
Ah Le started to be smart and said seriously.
Qin Yun was stunned, stopped, and frowned: "What's wrong with her?"
Seeing this, Ah Le felt that the two of them could be matched.
One is a gentle and kind-hearted mother who suffered a lot in the first half of her life, and the other is a foster father who has been kind to me for promotion and advancement. It would be best if they could be together!
"She can't sleep recently and her chest feels tight!"
Qin Yun frowned and said: "Then you will ask the imperial doctor to go back with you later to see what is wrong with your mother's illness. She must be cured."
A Le quickly waved his hand and said: "No... foster father, my mother is not actually sick."
"She just feels that our Mu family owes you too much and there is no way to repay you, so she has a knot in her heart."
The more he spoke, the smoother he became. He opened his eyes wide and said, "It would be best if I could trouble my adoptive father and move to Mu's house to enlighten her."
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mu Le twice. He felt strange in his heart, but he couldn't explain it.
Mu Le seemed to be seen through and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Finally, Qin Yun nodded and said: "Sure, let's do it today."
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do. I'll stop by to see the Heroes' Pavilion first, and then go to Mu's Mansion."
Mu Le's face lit up with joy, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay!"
Later.
Qin Yun packed up and took Li Mu to the Heroes Pavilion.
He stayed in the Heroes Pavilion for several hours, personally recruited some decent talents, and then had someone send Li Mu back to the palace.
He followed A Le to Mu Mansion.
The backyard of Mu Mansion was busy all of a sudden.
"Madam, your Majesty is here!"
One of the maids reported happily and excitedly.
Mu Ci was pruning a potted plant, and suddenly the scissors fell to the ground. His jade face was stunned: "Your Majesty is here, are you sure?"
"Really, really, the young general is with His Majesty!" The maid blushed and got excited.
Only then did Mu Ci believe it, and his calm eyes showed fluctuations.
Twisting her hair, she said, "Quick, I'm going to change clothes."
"I also took out the rouge that Ale bought for me. Your Majesty is here, so you must not lose your etiquette."
"Yes, yes." The maid immediately went to prepare.
After a while, Mu Ci, who was still dressing up in the room, suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Accompanied by the servant's voice: "See Your Majesty!"
Her pretty face suddenly lost color and she was a little flustered. What was he doing here?
"Mom, Your Majesty is here to see you!" A Le shouted.
Mu Ci's face was both shy and coquettish, and he cursed in his heart, "This brat, can you speak? Isn't this sincerity to make the servants misunderstand?"
She quickly tidied herself up and went out to greet him.
With a bang, the door opened.
"Join Your Majesty." She said a long blessing.
Qin Yun looked at it and was stunned on the spot!
Mu Ci had obviously dressed up, with long hair shawl, and a beautiful figure wearing a plain dress, looking very gentle.
Her eyebrows and eyes are as comfortable as water, and her face is covered with light makeup. Although it is not perfect, it has already given her a bright color.
Looks like he looks pretty good too.
It doesn't look like he's sick!
Qin Yun was confused and glanced at A Le, who had a guilty conscience.
"Um... Mrs. Mu, I heard that you are not in good health recently?"
Mrs. Mu, these three words make Mu Ci blush and feel weird.
She subconsciously felt that her relationship with Qin Yun was not so unfamiliar and polite.
"No, no."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine." She said directly without realizing that something was wrong.
Qin Yun was stunned and glanced at A Le, what on earth is this kid doing?
At this time, Mu Ci also noticed something was wrong and looked at A Le.
A Le wiped the sweat from his forehead and said haha.
"Father, mother, let's talk."
"My son, go prepare some tea."
After saying that, he left the scene as if running away.
In the backyard, Qin Yun and Mu Ci were left looking at each other.
After the previous conversations, the meetings between the two were always filled with some awkwardness and inexplicable ambiguity.
Qin Yun touched the tip of his nose, looked around, and took the initiative to say: "Madam, you have taken good care of this yard. It is very beautiful."
