"This commoner is called Mu Zi to receive the decree!" Mu Yizi lowered her head and knelt on one knee, cupping her fists above her head. She was lost in thought as she looked at the tip of her shoes.

"In accordance to the blessing of the heavens, the Phoenix Emperor decrees: We have personally heard that the Mu clan's chief is loyal and warm-blooded. Since taking over the Qingfeng Stronghold, we have worked hard to improve the atmosphere of the stronghold, gaining the hearts of the people. He was bestowed the title of Silver Moon General from the fourth rank! This is it! " Steward Zhou finished reading the imperial edict in one breath and then personally brought the imperial edict to Mu Youzi, shocking all of the court officials.

He was only a fourth rank general, yet Steward Zhou had personally delivered the imperial edict? In the past, in the imperial court, after the head eunuch had read the imperial edict, all he needed to do was to hand it over to his subordinate eunuchs.

Normally, Steward Zhou would be the most popular person by His Majesty's side. Who could ask him to personally hand over something that was even harder than ascending to the heavens? What kind of background did this Mu Yizi have?

On the other hand, Mu Zhizi did not feel that anything was amiss. Those courtiers and officials were too easily made a fuss over nothing. Earlier in the Qingfeng Stronghold, Steward Zhou had spoken to her in a friendly manner. How did he end up in the capital with so much trouble?

When Shen Bai saw this, he became even more worried.

On the surface, Steward Zhou was treating Mu Yizi kindly, so it was very possible that some of the court officials who were not very firm in their stance had lined up to join them. However, at the same time, he would also make many enemies for her.

Since ancient times, no one would sit still and wait for death when personal interests were involved.

Everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages. The only thing he did not know was that they had just stepped into the capital's territory.

"His Majesty has given the order that all of you, gentlemen, are to withdraw from the court if you have matters to attend to!" After Director Zhou finished announcing the rules, he waited for a while. Seeing that no one had anything to do, he called for them to leave.

As he was leaving the Town Hall under the protection of a group of eunuchs, Director Zhou stood on the spot. The court officials also scattered like birds and beasts as they all left.

Seeing that most of the people had left, Mu Yizi also felt bored. He had originally thought that the previous assembly would be a very interesting thing, but in the end, it turned out that it would be no different from the ordinary meetings held at their stronghold.

Just as he was about to leave, he was called over by Director Zhou behind him.

"Clan leader Mu … Look at my mouth, I should be calling you General Mu now! His Majesty has ordered that you are to come to the Imperial Garden to discuss some matters. "

This made Mu Yizi curious. Why didn't he just meet her yesterday when he had something to do? Why did he have to wait until the enthronement ceremony was over?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Mu Yizi instructed Luozi to bring Shen Bai and her brothers back to the Mu Army Manor and wait for her there before following Director Zhou to the imperial garden.

"This commoner pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Before she could kneel down, Mu Yizi was supported by a pair of slender, jade-like hands.

"Don't get down on your knees. I haven't had this many kneeling rituals in my life. You just need to stand and salute like those ministers. "Also, when you pay your respects to me in the future, you can't call yourself a commoner anymore, okay?" However, she did not put on the airs of an empress. Other than claiming to be me, she was no different from when she was in the Qingfeng Stronghold.

"Yes." This subject obeys. " Seeing this, Mu Yizi no longer hesitated. She had thought that after entering the imperial court, there would be many rules that needed to be observed, and she had even been worried for a while. From the looks of it, this queen did not like to put on airs like she had imagined. However, he still had to follow the rules.

Lin Mu Yu and Mu Yizi sat down on a stone bench in a pavilion in the imperial garden and carefully studied her appearance. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was very similar to that person.

Being stared at until she felt uncomfortable, Mu Youzi could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, your subject's face …" Is there anything? "

When Mu Yurou's question brought him back to his senses, he quickly opened his mouth and said, "N-nothing. However, every time I see you, I think of an old friend. "

"Old friends? That official is truly honored. It seems that this old friend is very important to His Majesty! Furthermore, our friendship is shallow. " Mu Yizi's smile was intriguing, causing Lin Feng to raise his interest.

"Why do you say that? How do you know that he has a deep friendship with me? "

Mu Yizi poured two cups of tea and handed one to Lin Mu. She picked one up and took a sip, then said slowly, "Tomorrow is a day that is far away from the world."

"Poetry is a good thing, but what you use is not a good place. "You guessed wrong." She pursed her lips, as if laughing at her own intelligence.

Mu Yizi was even more confused. Weren't they old friends? How could this be wrong?

Unfortunately, before she could continue, she couldn't continue to question him. After all, this old friend of his must have held a very important place in His Majesty's heart. Otherwise, why would she be so good to him? If one day he met someone who looked very similar to his childhood friend, wouldn't he also take special care of him?

When he thought of his childhood friend, Mu Youzi really did think of him. However, that person's health was not good in the first place, so he did not know whether or not he was still alive.

With a sigh in her heart, Mu Yizi quickly tossed aside the thoughts in her mind. She dared to reminisce about old times with His Majesty and think of other things, unless she didn't want to live anymore.

"Are you all right? You don't look too good, do you want me to announce a royal physician to you? " When he noticed Mu Yizi's pale face, he felt as if he had contracted some sort of disease. His heart skipped a beat as well.

Looking at her was like looking at that person. How could he bear to see her suffer?

"No need, I won't bother the imperial physician with such a small matter." This subject has practiced martial arts since young and has a tough body! "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

He didn't know why, but ever since he had entered the palace, he felt that she had become a lot more distant from him. He couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart.

"Do you still feel that it's strange that I didn't tell you my true identity?"

Mu Yizi was startled by his words, but then she laughed and said, "Your Majesty, how can you say that? You're a nine or five year old supreme being, your identity is special, so of course you can't casually tell others."

"It's good that you understand. As the saying goes, one cannot be cold at the top. In the future, if you are able to hold a high position one day, you might be able to understand my current suffering! "

"Your subject shall bind himself to the task, and will not forget the grace of your majesty." Mu Yizi understood the meaning behind Lin Feng's words. The reason why she had chosen to enter the capital under the title of Emperor was because she would be able to rely on her own achievements to advance to an official in the future. This way, it would also be convenient for him to cover the mouths of the court officials.

Originally, Jin Li country had a lot of Chinese officials and officials, so it was hard to avoid the suspicion that there was a heavy literature and a light martial arts style. However, there were very few people who could be generals in the country. This time around, General Mu Yiran could also block the mouth of those people, letting them know that those with talent would be highly valued.

At the moment, Mu Zhizi didn't have any foundation in the capital, so she could only rely on the Empress. As the old saying goes, it is better to lean against a tree to take advantage of its shade. However, if he wanted to get close to the tree, he would have to work hard.
