C27 Chapter 27

After all, in everyone's eyes, Mu Yi was an obedient and good child, and having an affair with his brother was definitely not something Mu Yi could do.

Moreover, Mu Yuan had been out of favor for so many years. He must have wanted to get the attention of the Emperor by seducing the Sixth Prince, but there was still most of the "water" mixed in.

Mu Yuan spread the news the second day after he rested at Mu Yi's residence on the first day, and anyone could feel the malice towards Mu Yi and Mu Yuan.

If it wasn't for someone spreading those wild rumors and adding fuel to the fire, the words wouldn't be like this.

Mu Yi came out to welcome Mu Yuan. He hugged Mu Yuan tightly and did not let go. Those coquettish complaints all showed how much Mu Yi liked Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan's response to Mu Yi also showed that the two of them were very close.

It was very normal for Mu Yuan to rest at Mu Yi's house for the night, because the two of them had a good night's conversation. Seeing that it was late, the younger brother left the older brother to rest at the younger brother's house for the night. Not only would such a story not tarnish Mu Yi and Mu Yuan's reputation, it would instead give Mu Yi and Mu Yuan "extra points."

But some people insisted on making a big deal out of it, which made Mu Yi a little unhappy. He said that he could, that he could easily get rid of the dirty water on his body.

But Mu Yuan was different. If such rumors spread as soon as Mu Yuan returned to the palace, it would definitely displease the emperor, and it would be a joke for other countries to send envoys to the emperor's birthday.

Even if Mu Yuan was not favored, he was still the prince of a country after all. If such rumors spread to other countries, Mu Yuan's reputation would be ruined. What would he do in the future?

While Mu Yi's face was gloomy, Mu Yuan's face was also covered in dark clouds.

"Your Highness, look at that Sixth Prince, he's really evil! Saying that, Your Highness! What will Your Highness do in the future?" Mu Yuan was so annoyed by the little waiter that he slammed his palm on the table, producing a loud sound.

"Your, Your Highness!" "It wasn't Mu Yi!" "How is this possible! Your Highness only spread such rumors after resting in the Sixth Prince's residence!" "How dare you!" Only then did the servant realize what he had said. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and did not beg for mercy, waiting for Mu Yuan's punishment.

"Don't speak such words in the future. Not everyone can tolerate your temper." Mu Yuan let him go down and sent him to the kitchen. He couldn't keep such a waiter by his side.

"Your Highness, Sixth Prince is here!" "I won't see him!" Although Mu Yuan didn't think that Mu Yi was the one who did this, the origin of the matter was still Mu Yi. Mu Yuan felt that meeting Mu Yi at this time was still very awkward.

"Why doesn't Second Brother see my brother?" Mu Yi pushed open the door and walked in front of Mu Yuan, shouting. Mu Yuan was a little shocked, obviously not expecting Mu Yi to be so bold as to barge in like this.

"How did you become so unruly! What happened to you!" Mu Yuan frowned and said coldly. Mu Yi was so scared by Mu Yuan that his eyes turned red.

Mu Yuan's heart softened when he saw Mu Yi's red eyes, but at the same time, he also thought of it. How could a prince like Mu Yi cry so easily? He was acting too much!

"You can go back to the palace. I'm tired and need to rest." Seeing Mu Yuan like this, Mu Yi panicked a little. "Second brother, I..." "Green Lotus, send Sixth Prince away!" "Yes, Sixth Prince, please!"

Mu Yi saw that Mu Yuan had turned his back and did not want to see him laugh, but it was even uglier than crying. "Since that's the case, then I won't disturb second brother anymore." Mu Yi waved his sleeve and stuck it to his back, causing a slight gust of wind. Then, Mu Yuan became a little absent-minded.

Mu Yi knew that Mu Yuan did not like him and was a little sad, so he stopped after taking a step out of the door. "I will handle the matter of the rumors. Don't worry, second brother!"

Mu Yuan sighed. For some reason, he was always unwilling to look into Mu Yi's eyes. Because that always made him feel like he was standing naked in front of Mu Yi, which made Mu Yuan feel embarrassed.

Ever since that time, Mu Yi had never been to Mu Yuan's residence again. However, he would send some supplements and small things every few days. Mu Yuan had his men put them in the warehouse and did not touch them.

Mu Yuan did not take this matter to heart anymore. Although Mu Yi was close to him when he returned, it was only a few days of intimacy after all. This was not worth mentioning to Mu Yuan at all.

The Emperor's birthday was approaching, and the palace was bustling with noise and excitement. The Empress was in charge of organizing the birthday banquet, and the arrangements for the food and decorations were all handled by the Empress.

Some of the concubines in the harem wanted to interfere but were rejected by the queen, so they calmed down a bit. However, they focused on the birthday of the king.

At this moment, there were a lot of people coming and going in the royal house. The maid of the concubine, the steward of the prince, the maid of the princess...

They all liked the fact that their birthday presents would attract the emperor's attention, and the city gates were a lively place these days. Foreign emissaries, princesses, and the emperor had all come to the capital to live in the royal residence.

Mu Yi was the most beloved prince of the emperor these days, and there was no crown prince yet. Only he could go and welcome those envoys.

The Emperor was very dissatisfied with Mu Yi because of the rumors from last time. He originally wanted to call Mu Yuan over to "remind" the two of them.

It was all right for the two of them to be close, and to make a good impression on the people, but it was a real disappointment to the Emperor to hear such rumors on his birthday.

After the rumors spread, Mu Yi knelt in front of the Emperor's palace for three whole days. For three whole days, the Emperor ordered that no one was allowed to take a step closer to his palace, and no servants dared to enter, so naturally, he did not see Mu Yi.

Even though some of the concubines and maids knew about it, they did not dare to tell anyone about it. If the emperor knew about it, he would lose his head.

It wasn't until the fourth day that the Empress went to beg the Emperor that she went to see Mu Yi. She said some things and even told Mu Yi to get closer to Mu Yuan so that there wouldn't be any more dirty words.

"Your Highness, the envoy from Liuxia is almost at the city gate!" Mu Yi had just been lying down for less than two hours when he heard the servant's report. He stood up again, got someone to change his clothes and put on some rouge before going out to welcome the envoy.

Recently, Mu Yi had expended a lot of energy and had become a lot more haggard. He looked especially weak. His face was so pale that it was scary. Therefore, every time he went out to welcome the envoy, he had to put on some rouge so that he didn't look "weak."

"Let's go." The servant worriedly watched as Mu Yi put on the cloak in his hand and watched Mu Yi leave the Duke Palace.

"Your Highness, look, isn't that Sixth Prince?" Mu Yuan sat on the second floor of Yu Hanlou and looked down at Mu Yi riding a white horse. He looked at the state he was in when he got off the horse and took a sip of tea. "Yes."

"Tell me, I don't know what's so good about this Sixth Prince that the Emperor dotes on him so much. What the hell?" Mu Yuan looked at Mu Yi with a cold smile. He thought of the thing that Mu Yi had let go of, and then thought of his current glory. He suddenly felt that his good impression of Mu Yi had turned to ashes bit by bit.

"Welcome, Emissary Liu Xia, to our country!" "Sixth Prince is too polite, this is a gift for our first meeting!" The man who got off the carriage winked, and the servant behind him immediately handed a fragrant wooden box to the man with both hands.

The man handed the wooden box over to Mu Yi in the same way. Mu Yi saw that the man's attitude towards him was not bad, and this thing did not look ordinary. He smiled."

A trace of displeasure flashed across the man's eyes. He had already shown such an attitude, how could this Sixth Prince be so ungrateful!
