In the imperial palace, Xue Yiwei reported the affairs of Changle Palace to Mu Ce: “The princess and the emperor said this on the corridor, and they did not confront each other or pretend to be intimate.”

After Xue Yiwei finished speaking, he couldn't help adding another sentence: "The princess has a lot of power, and the emperor is also knowledgeable and reasonable. This is a good thing, thanks to your majesty's good teaching."

Things in the palace couldn't be hidden from Mu Ce, and Mu Ce soon knew what Mu Yungui and Mu Siyao had discussed after they went out. Mu Yungui's initiative to ask for help is in itself a sign of good. After all, just asking a maid is enough for a simple question like Liyu. Why do you have to ask Mu Siyao? And Mu Siyao's return of the bracelet is also a reward.

Mu Ce sighed, and said, "The two little girls are open and honest, and they seem to be narrowly jealous of me."

The identities of Mu Yungui and Mu Siyao are inherently opposed. According to the imagination of normal people, the two of them will inevitably fight to the death and the life, and in the end only the only victor will survive. But Mu Yungui and Mu Siyao handled them very smartly. They didn't engage in intrigue when they first came up, but talked candidly. After both sides have understood each other, they will make the next step.

In contrast, as soon as Mu Ce heard that Mu Siyao had met Mu Yungui before, he doubted Mu Siyao, and he was not as open-minded as the two children.

Mu Ce chuckled softly. Although his lips curled up, there was not much smile in his eyes: "This is not what I taught well."

What did he teach Mu Yun to return? Obviously, she is well raised.

Xueyiwei was silent when she heard the words, she stepped back wittily and closed the door gently. Only Mu Ce was left in the main hall. He looked around, the incense burner, the screen, the table, the decorations, time seemed to have stagnated in this palace, everything remained the same as when Mu Jia left twenty years ago, and the familiar often let Mu Ce had hallucinations, as if the deceased would turn out from behind the interstitial in the next instant.

However, she will never come back again.

Mu Ce originally didn't understand why she always avoided and refused when he suggested that Mu Jia could stay in the palace forever, and never looked up to his heart. Now, Mu Ce finally knew.

She has broken eyes, and she sees the future. Since learning this news, Mu Ce has been full of grievances and powerlessness with nowhere to appeal. What did she see in the prophecy, why didn't she believe him?

...

After the Sanqing Festival passed, the palace returned to calm. The white snow went down day after day, and the days in the palace moved forward steadily, as if there would be no change in the first thousand years, and the next thousand years.

Mujia returned to normal, busy patrolling and checking posts all day, and the episodes of the Sanqing Festival did not seem to have any effect on her. Mu Ce was also busy, but he always had one thing in mind when he was dealing with government affairs.

In the end, he drew the pattern he saw that day and gave it to the craftsmen in private to make a hosta out. Mu Ce's drawings were roughly similar in shape to the hairpins on the stall that day, but the details were much more refined. The phoenix on the hairpin is lifelike, and the flowers around it have also turned into frosty jade pansy. The degree of exquisiteness has been directly increased several times.

Not a royal family, no one dared to use this pattern. Three months later, the craftsman carved the hairpin and handed it to Mu Ce respectfully.

Mu Ce is fairly satisfied with the finished product. In one afternoon, he rested in the temple, with Mujia by his side. Mu Ce took a sip of his tea, put a brocade box on the table, and motioned for Mu Ji to open it.

Mu Jia was surprised, she pulled away cautiously, and was stunned for a moment when she saw what was inside: "Your Majesty, this..."

She tried to control the look on her face, but she could see surprise in her eyes. Mu Ce was fairly satisfied with her reaction and said: "The folk stuff is too crude to be worth entering the court. Since you like hairpins, use this."

When Mu Ji heard Mu Ce said "it's not worth it," the brilliance in her eyes faded. Mu Ce said that folk things are not worth entering the palace. This should be a very polite statement. The true statement is not worthy.

The hosta in her hand suddenly became hot, and Mu Ji's fingertips trembled, and she looked down silently. Mu Ce realized that she lowered her head again and said nothing, and asked, "Why, don't you like it?"

"No." Mu Jia lowered her chin, unable to see her expression clearly, she asked in a low voice, "Why does your Majesty think of this?"

"Nothing to do, just pass the time." Mu Ce instinctively put aside lightly. The light in front of the window was silent, and a plume of blue smoke smeared straight in the air. The hall was quiet for a while, and Mu Ce casually said: "Shuangyu Jinyan has been missing for many years, and now it has become a taboo and is forbidden by the people. Besides, it is Jiang Zi. Before the flower was stolen, the frosty jade **** was only worn by the royal family. What do you think?"

The monarch inexplicably gave the maid around him a hairpin, and said such a thing, the meaning is already very obvious. Mu Li's eyelashes trembled heavily, her fingers clenched unconsciously.

Many years ago, when she was the little maid beside Yan Yao, they accidentally ran into the prince at a grand gathering of Yan family. Mu Jia hurriedly pulled the young lady down to her knees, and the tall and handsome man like a **** passed by her, she didn't even dare to look up at the other party. How could she have imagined that one day she could walk by his side, and one companion would be a thousand years.

Mu Jia thought that the guard was her best home, she did not dare to ask for the curtain of clouds in the sky, as long as she could watch him forever and stay with him, Mu Jia would be satisfied. However, she heard such words.

Lucky came too quickly, it seemed that as long as Mu Li nodded, she could become your majesty's concubine. Mu Jia was stunned by the pie that fell from the sky, and she suddenly saw a scene in the dizziness.

Mu Ce and Empress Mu sat down, and gently handed a booklet with the names of Yan's family on it. Those who committed suicide, exile, and disappeared were all recorded in the book. Among them, Yan Yao's name was marked with a big red circle. . The queen mother took a look and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Mu Ce said: "The Yan family has been in exile for nearly a thousand years, and it is almost done. There is no need to kill them all. The monarch chases after his subjects because of his personal likes and dislikes, and he loses his breath."

Empress Mu's face was secretive, she closed the booklet and suddenly asked: "Why do you suddenly think of these things? Is it because of Yan Yao?"

Mu Ce paused, and confessed happily: "Yes. She is the daughter of the Qing clan after all. She is from a pure and noble family and has a prominent family. She can't always serve people in the palace."

"But her grandfather committed a big taboo."

"The fault of the elders, what to do with her?" Mu Ce said, "I heard that my father had intended to marry me and Yan Yao. It is better to use this ground to forgive the rest of the Yan family."

The screen immediately jumped to the next frame. Mu Ce wrote an amnesty order on Gao's case, and the names of Yan Yao and Yan Ji were impressive. Next to it, there was also a half-drafted marriage letter.

"What are you thinking?"

Mu Jia suddenly regained consciousness, realizing that there was no queen mother, no marriage certificate, and His Majesty was sitting in front of her waiting for her to reply. Mu Ce's eyes were dark and deep, and he looked straight at her. Mu Jia suddenly felt at a loss. At that moment, she felt that she was a jumping clown, and everything she had was cheated. Your majesty's favor, the pity of others, and Xue Yiwei's identity are all pinned on her being Yan Yao.

If they were told that she was not the eldest lady who was in trouble, but a slave girl who was already very humble? If it weren't for the difficulties of the language, Mu Jia would not even be worthy to shine shoes for these people in her life.

But now, Yan Jia will be forgiven. Once the real Yan Yao and Yan Ji come back, Mu Jia's lies will be burst like a bubble immediately. Your Majesty will learn that she is not a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, but a descendant of a foreigner and a medicine-gathering girl, an illegitimate daughter with an unknown biological father.

Mu Ce was waiting for her answer, but Mu Jia hesitated. She didn't know what to do. At this moment, she hated her ability to predict. If she hadn't seen the future, she could have agreed happily, looking forward to the coming years with joy. Rather than being like her, she has seen the final outcome without enjoying happiness.

Mu Jia was suffering, and reason told her that she should take the opportunity to tell Mu Ce that she was not the real Yan Yao, in exchange for mercy; and the emotions screamed and told her not to, Mu Ce had already developed a good impression of Zhen Yan Yao, if She confessed that she would lose everything from now on.

She worked hard for a thousand years, going out early and returning home in the evening, without daring to neglect for a moment. What did she do wrong, and why did she do this to her?

Mujia hasn't spoken for a long time, and in this situation, not speaking is an expression of attitude. Mu Cexin gradually became colder, and his smile faded. The two were in a stalemate. Just as Mu Ce was about to ask what, the voice of the maid came from outside: "Your Majesty, please invite the Queen Mother."

Mu Ce got up, he was so angry that he just went out to calm down. Mu Ce turned around and strode away. He was not named Mu Jia, and Mu Jia did not follow.

Strangely speaking, only Mu Ce and Mu Jia had conversations that day, but after a period of time, there was a saying that your Majesty intended to forgive the speaker. Someone even added fuel and jealousy, saying that the reason why your majesty remembered this was because the queen mother had to choose a concubine for her majesty. His majesty saw the name of Miss Yanjia on the list, which is now the name of the leader of Xue Yiwei, which reminded him of disappearing. Thousand years of words.

There have been rumors in the Qing clan circle in the early years that the first emperor intentionally gifted Mu Ce and the Yan family's daughter to the marriage, but it was a pity that the Yan family committed something and the marriage was given up. Now that the old things are mentioned again, does it mean that the palace intends to regain the marriage contract of the year? Even if you can't be a regular wife, being a concubine is a match made in heaven. After Yan Yao was charged into Ye Ting, he turned against the image of the famous Dodder, and fought **** her own to become the leader of Xue Yiwei. He has been loyal and hardworking for many years. She turned into a concubine not only to meet the expectations of the public, but also to take the opportunity to erase the rift between the family and the royal family. It can be said that everyone is happy.

The rumors intensified, and the spreader spoke vividly, as if the matter had become a foregone conclusion. Mu Ji didn't know where the rumors came from. No matter where she went these days, people who saw her looked ambiguous and greeted her, saying that she had worked so hard for so many years, and finally came to nothing.

Mu Li's face was dumb, and she didn't feel happy at all. Yan Yao did come with all the hardships, but it wasn't her.

Every additional person congratulated Mu Jia, which was to make a stab at her heart, but it didn't stop there. One evening, she received a note.

Mu Jia saw the words on it, silently squeezed, and instantly burned the note. The rumors spread more and more, and they have spread outside the palace walls, and they have gone to the real Yan Yao's ears.

Mu Yejia, Mu Yungui came back here for the second time. After entering the door this time, Mu Yungui went straight to the place where the jade pearl was found before. She mobilized Jiang Shaoci, and the two carefully searched around to make sure that there were no other beads except this one.

Jiang Shaocai asked, "What is this?"

Mu Yun returned: "I thought it was Liuli at first, but Mu Siyao said it was a kind of precious jade-Liyu."

Jiang Shao said clearly: "Is the string in your hand the same material?"

"Yes." Mu Yungui sighed softly, raised his hand, and compared the jade bead with the glass jade bracelet on his wrist. The jade has always been gentle and elegant, but the glaze is rich in color. A pile of glaze of various colors is put together, bright, clear, colorful, and very beautiful at first glance.

Jiang Shaocai found a place to sit down and asked, "What do you suspect now?"

"I think this bead is probably also a bracelet. It's just a piece of glass jade mixed in a pile of glass beads." Mu Yun replied, "Musiyao said, glass is fragile, but glass is strong. It will not break easily. So someone may have had a dispute here. The bracelet was torn off during the conflict, the beads were scattered, the colored glaze was broken, but this glaze jade rolled under the cabinet and was not found. So it's preserved."

Jiang Shaocai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which of these two things is expensive?"

Jiang Shaoci has already grasped the point, Mu Yungui sighed, and said, "Naturally it is Liyu. The best way to hide a leaf is to put it in the forest. It seems that the owner of the bracelet wants to hide something. The precious glaze jade is hidden in the colored glaze to cover people's eyes."

Jiang Shaocai did not answer. This was Muye's courtyard, which was later kept by Mujia. Seeing the condition on the ground, it was cleaned up later, and there was no residual glaze in the corners of the bricks. Who else can enter here to argue and clean the ground?

It can only be Mu Jia and Mu Wei.

Mu Yungui also thought about it. She put away the bracelet and raised her small eyebrows in a daze, "But, why would she do this?"

Yeah, why would she do this?

That snowy night many years ago, Mu Jia stared at her mother, and the same question struck her mind. There was no light in the room, and Mu Wei stared at Mu Jia coldly and asked: "A Jia, I heard that your majesty intends to forgive Yan Jiao and Na Yan Yao enters the palace. Is this true?"

Mujia was expressionless, she didn't want to continue this topic at all, her tone was cold and resisting: "How do I know if the rumor in the palace is true."

"There is no hole in the hole. Your Majesty hasn't stopped it for so long. It won't be totally unreasonable. Aji, why don't you tell your Majesty the truth?"

This sentence seemed to hit a hornet’s nest, and Mu Jia suddenly became excited: "The truth? What truth do I tell your Majesty? It was when you and the Majesty made a false statement and deceived the emperor, or Yan Yao said that he did not die. Encountered by chance, but they deliberately calculated?"

"Presumptuous!" Mu Wei widened her eyes and shouted angrily, "Who allows you to call by name? You still don't tell your majesty, do you want to occupy the identity of the young lady and enter the palace as a concubine? After all, in the hearts of your majesty and the queen mother, now Your face is Miss Yan Jia."

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Mu Wei's words hit Mu Jia's sore spot severely, but Mu Jia refused to lower her head. She still held her neck high and said in a loud voice, "Don't forget, when the officers and soldiers came to catch people, you pushed me. Go out and say that I am Yanyao. These years, I have condemned in the palace, and I was ridiculed by others on behalf of Yanyao. I believe that there is nothing I'm sorry for Yanyao and your Majesty. If you really want to correct your identities, then go and make peace by yourself. Your Majesty said, what to do with me?"

Mu Wei fixedly looked at her, with a pity in her eyes for some reason. Mu Jia would rather Mu Wei scold her, beat and scold her than to look at her with this kind of eyes. Mu Jia kept her face, holding on to her cold shell, and said, "If you have something to say, don't look at me with such disgusting eyes."

"Aji, don't forget your identity." Mu Wei's eyes were sad, and her voice suddenly choked up, "My mother made a mistake once, you can't do it again. We are different from those people. They are the proud sons of heaven. Stepping on the clouds, the soles of our shoes will not be contaminated with mud for a lifetime. And we are born in silt and die of dust. If our destiny had not been wrong, we would have never seen these characters in our lives, let alone intersect. Your Majesty likes you , I am willing to admit you into the palace, but I think you are Yan Yao. If he knew your true identity, what would he do?"

Mu Jia blinked quickly, bit her lip hard, forced her tears back, still raised her head and said, "He won't. I almost injured his spiritual pet. He didn't pursue it and rescued me from the deep palace. , Sent me to study and martial arts. In these years, I saved him, and the person who accompanied him in his practice was me. It was also me who was always rejected by him because of his bad schoolwork. A thousand years of getting along is not enough. Prejudice?"

Looking at such a daughter, Mu Wei felt heartbroken and pitying. She choked and said, "Aji, you are too naive. The mistake of the ancestors passed away and passed away, but how can you get past the difference between the family? Clan bloodline, even if your majesty really doesn’t care, the queen mother, the Qing family, and the world are so easy to speak, will you not care? Not only will you lose face, even your majesty will be pointed out. The mortal clan can only be a slave and a maid. Your Majesty accepts a mortal clan as his concubine, isn't it ridiculous?"

Mu Jia couldn't hold back her tears, and finally fell. Mu Wei couldn't bear it, but she was still cruel, and finished the rest of her words: "What's more, your Majesty treats you differently because he thinks you are the young lady. Your Majesty and the young lady once had a marriage contract. How do you know those differences and whether they are your Majesty? Gu Nian friendship, caring for you? If you don't tell your majesty that your name is Yan Yao, will your majesty do this to you?"

After Mu Wei said so much, this sentence really hurt Mu Jia. Your Majesty is different to her, but your Majesty is actually different to Yan Yao.

She stole someone else's identity, and luckily enjoyed a love relationship that didn't belong to her, yet she wanted to hope forever. Mu Ce clearly stated in the prophecy that he wanted to pardon the Yanyao by his marriage with Yanyao. Mu Ce and Yan Yao are the real destined marriage, what is she in it?

Having the ability to predict the future, is it lucky or a curse? If Mujia doesn't know the future, she can give it a try. Why Yanyao will come and leave if she wants to. At the beginning, they pushed Mujia out to replace her identity. Now the situation has just improved. Why do these people ask her to give in?

However, Mu Jia predicted the ending in advance. The person your Majesty wants to forgive is Yan Yao, and the person to marry is Yan Yao. What appeared in the broken pupils was a marriage certificate, a mortal mixed race, would it be worthy of a marriage certificate?

Even if your Majesty will not pursue her for deceiving the emperor, but when Yanyao enters the palace in the future, in what capacity will Mu Jia stay with His Majesty? She has a humble background, but she cannot belittle herself. Now that the ending is doomed, why should she struggle and be a wicked person.

Mu Jia was discouraged and didn't want to say a word, turned and walked outside the house. Seeing that Mu Jia's expression was wrong, Mu Wei frowned, and pulled her hard, "A Jia, are you still obsessed with it? Miss and Erlang are waiting for you, so please let me take the blame."

Mujia's emotions have been suppressed to the extreme. She knew it was her wishful thinking and jumped as a clown, but she was unwilling to accept the second humiliation in front of Yan Yao. This is her only remaining dignity.

Mu Jia shook Mu Wei's hand vigorously, and his vision was blocked in the dark night, and the two of them broke a string of bracelets accidentally while struggling. The colorful glass beads bounced and fell to the ground, crackling to the ground. Liuli is so similar to their mother and daughter. They are beautiful, bright, but cheap. They look glamorous, but they shatter with a touch.

This is regarded as one of the few gifts that Mu Wei left to Mu Jia. The pasture has been well preserved for this thousand years, and I dare not touch it at all. Now, it's all broken.

Both mother and daughter fell silent, and after the uncomfortable silence, Mu Jia said with a dumb voice: "I also have broken eyes."

Mu Wei was startled and raised her head in a panic.

In the darkness, Mu Jia stared at Mu Wei closely, her eyes bright as torches: "Who is my biological father?"
