The letter of repudiation? Jing Shao froze, then laughed coldly: "You are a man, the repudiation does not affect your reputation, but as usual, the next husband can not take the examination, even if I let you go, you have no chance with the examination in this life."

"Then what are you going to do?" Mu Hanzhang sat up and looked at him coldly, if this man wanted to stay to torture him, he wouldn't stand to be beaten.

"I can't inherit the great lineage, and you can't take the meeting examination, so we're even." Jing Shao said in his slightly magnetic voice with a straight face.

"...... Ah?" Mu Hanzhang froze for half a day, cracks appearing on his originally cold and handsome face, his mouth half-open in a rather silly manner, feeling as if he had been lifted high into the air by the neck and then thrown onto a soft cushion ......

Jing Shao saw the man's dumbfounded appearance and found it amusing, and was about to reach out and poke him when Mengxi's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the medicine for the crown princess has been decocted."

Jing Shao frowned and asked Mengxi to bring in the medicine, Mu Hanzhang collected his expression and bowed his head, Mengxi stole a glance at his face and smiled as she walked over to the bedside.

"Your Highness, let the slave girl serve the princess into the medicine, right?" Mengxi carried the medicine and looked with difficulty at Jing Shao, who was relying on the bedside to stay still.

Jing Shao took the bowl of medicine and waved his hand for Mengxi to go out, turning his head to the outside to, "Duo Fu!"

"In." Dolphin grinned and showed a head in the doorway.

"Guard outside the door." Jing Shao saw his appearance and couldn't help but laugh a little, this Duo Fu was still acting like a child at his age.

"Yes." Duo Fu naturally understood the meaning of his own prince, rushed the maids to do their work, and told the guards to stand at the four corners of the house, and guarded the door himself, making sure that no one could hear the words of the people in the house, before leaning on the pillar and sunbathing with a smile on his face.

"You just won't listen to me finish my sentence," Jing Shao took the medicine in his hand and stirred it with a spoon, "Those words are all said by outsiders, I know myself how many pounds I have, and even if I marry the Queen Mother, I won't be able to sit in that position."

"Your Highness why do you say this?" Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, listening to Jing Shao this tone is to talk with him openly, demeanor and expression does not seem to be hypocritical, guessing that is really their own will be wrong?

Jing Shao handed the medicine bowl to him, "I entered the military camp at the age of fourteen, and have been on the battlefield for so many years, I'm good at fighting, but I don't know anything about governing. Look at me, it's so hard to gather a doctor, how can I compete for the throne?"

Mu Hanzhang took the bowl of medicine, so he bribed the Imperial Doctor in front of himself just to "give an example"?

"Although I understand it myself, who would believe this when I say it? Take today for example, if I defend you in the palace, Father Emperor is bound to think that I'm deep-minded and facile, and it will be even worse in the future." Jing Shao said and couldn't help but sigh, but if he keeps acting defiant like this, fighting to be first in everything, Father Emperor will still not be able to tolerate him in the end!

Mu Hanyang swallowed the black medicinal juice in one gulp, only to feel the bitterness from the root of his tongue to his heart, so even if he is a prince or a grandson, it is not easy for him to lead such a difficult life. Just put down the medicine bowl, a candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth, Mu Hanzhang looked up, only to see that person smilingly wiped the medicine juice on the corner of his mouth. Jing Shao already born handsome extraordinary, usually do not like to smile, this smile up is extraordinarily good-looking.

It was heard that King Cheng was irritable and easy to anger and did not smile, but since last night, this man had already smiled at him many times, Mu Hanzhang sighed softly, perhaps he should try to trust him, after all, there was really nothing left to scheme on himself.

"It's not impossible for Your Highness to want to pull in Imperial Doctor Jiang." Eating the candied fruit in his mouth, Mu Hanzhang spoke.

"Oh?" Jing Shao looked at him with considerable interest.

Mu Hanzhang body fatigue, then leaned on the bedside of the big welcome pillow: "Just his son into the king's banner, luring him to make a big or small mistake, waiting for the old man to come to the door to beg is."

"Junqing ......" Jing Shao looked at him with surprise, the relationship in the Imperial Hospital he is not clear, looking for Jiang Huan because he is famous for his oil and salt, and the mouth is particularly strict, today to give him the benefit is also thinking of letting him give Junqing toned body in the future, if he can pull this kind of person If you can bring this kind of person together, it is really an unexpected pleasure.

He lunged over to the person's chest, "You're really a military advisor! In this way, I can even save money on inviting gatekeepers!" Mu Hanzhang's willingness to bare her heart to him showed that she had accepted him!

"Cough, Your Highness!" Being smashed on by the large man who fell from the sky, Mu Hanzhang was a little out of breath for a moment.

"Hehehe, don't sit there, quickly lie back down, sweating fever can only go down." Jing Shao sniffed, immediately scurried up, stuffed the person into the quilt, also vigorously tucked in the quilt, he himself also lay to the side to bring the person with the quilt into his arms.

Mu Hanyang was made to stare, and when he reacted to have been wrapped into a chrysalis, plus an octopus fixed in the periphery, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, this guy is really an anxious temper.

With his face smothered in Jing Shao's chest, Mu Hanzhang moved helplessly, pulling away slightly.

"Junqing, I'll tell you everything from now on, and you'll tell me whatever you have in mind, so we won't fight." Jing Shao raised his hand to detach the hairband of the person in his arms and rubbed his chin against the top of his head.

"Uh-huh." Mu Hanyang Zhang responded vaguely, covered in warmth, his spirit relaxed again and he was a little drowsy.

"Junqing, on the day of the cave-in I was indeed not happy in my heart, I drank too much wine, and I had thought that since everyone didn't believe in me, I would simply make things bad for no one," Jing Shao narrowed his eyes, this was indeed what he had thought about after he woke up, and now that he knew what had happened over the years, it wasn't impossible to take over that position, "But I changed my mind when I woke up and saw you."

Mu Hanzhang didn't answer, but perked up his ears to listen carefully.

Jing Shao saw that the person in his arms did not make a sound, thought that he fell asleep, gently touched his long hair: "I think that it is quite good to live a lifetime with someone as wonderful as you, and it doesn't matter whether other people believe me or not. I will definitely protect you well in the future, not letting you suffer a little bit of aggravation ......" He was still unclear about what feelings he held for the person in his arms, but he knew that this was the only person who was willing to accompany him to die. In this reborn world, all he saw was full of suspicion and killing at every step, only this person was his only salvation. He would hold him tightly and never let go again.

The low voice seemed like a soft whisper, Jing Shao said this to himself, but he didn't know that the person who was tightly circled in his arms quietly hooked his lips.

When Mu Hanzhang sweating fever has passed the noon, Jing Shao morning sent Duo Fu personally run a second prince residence, and elder brother honestly apologize, said may be later to go over. Although the royal family is populous, but the status of special, the second day of the wedding does not need to worship many people. Jing Shao here, anyway, his interpersonal relations have never been good, so just worship brother's family, now after lunch can not go, then changed into civilian clothes and daughter-in-law beautiful lunch.

Who knows just removed the dishes, Duo Fu will come to report that the second prince and prince consort came, Jing Shao heard this, immediately put down the tea to run outside.

"Your Highness!" Mu Hanzhang pulled him back with one hand, "Change your clothes before going out."

"Oh!" Jing Shao slapped his head, forgetting that his sister-in-law was also there, wearing this body out would be rude, and busily changed his clothes. After waking up did not see yet do not feel, now so soon to see his brother, only to feel a lot of words to say to him, this time again can not be confused.

"Your Highness, I will not go." Mu Hanzhang drew back the hand that Jing Shao had pulled.

"What's wrong?" Paying a visit to his elder brother is also to salute and offer tea, and also get a gift for meeting him, Jing Shao stopped to look at him.

Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, "The prince does not go to the second prince's residence because the minister is sick, although it is a brother of his own family, but for this small matter to produce misunderstanding or not worth it."

"Hmm?" Jing Shao froze with his head full of questions for a long time before he realized that Jun Qing was afraid that his brother would see that he was fine and think that he was deliberately not going to the Second Prince's Mansion, hurting his brother's peace. He could not help but smile helplessly and wrapped Mu Hanyang's waist and laughed, "Junqing will speak directly when he has something to say in the future, this brain of mine is not working well."

Mu Hanzhang glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I've taken note of it, Your Highness go quickly." He knew that Jing Shao's feelings towards this elder brother of the same mother were not ordinary, if he said this directly there was a suspicion of provoking their brotherly relationship, now he was an outsider who had just passed through the door, it was better to be careful with what he said.

"Is Jun Qing making a note to speak directly, or is he making a note that I'm not in my right mind?" Jing Shao couldn't help but tease when he saw how quickly he picked up the conversation.

"All written down." Mu Hanzhang's expression remained faint.

Jing Shao see him this kind of calm appearance, inexplicably feel very good-looking, look around no one noticed, steal a kiss on the cheek, quickly flash out the door.

Mu Hanzhang looked at Jing Shao's back and slowly touched the kissed cheek, the corner of his lips couldn't help but curve upwards.

Since the second prince came suddenly, Jing Shao was too late to go out to greet him, so Duo Fu directly invited him to the tea hall of Listening Wind Pavilion. Listening Wind Pavilion is Jing Shao usually guests, reading, play place, already belongs to the inner courtyard, usually only receive close guests. Wang Fu's layout of the front courtyard for the outer courtyard, after the garden is Listening to the wind Pavilion, the Pavilion is divided into the East Court and West Court, East Court is Jing Shao's residence, the West Court live in the female relatives.

Flower racks with seasonal flowers, beams and pillars entangled in a few slender vines, this time of year has been spitting buds, tender green with yellow, full of vitality.
