The lights in the main hall were brightly lit, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

When they reached the entrance of the palace, they stopped moving their hands, walked in calmly, and sat down in their seats.

Xiao Yonghan touched his painful waist and glared at Mo Ruxue with a dark face. Mo Ruxue smiled and greeted the wives of the ministers as if nothing happened.

Daido kept his head down this time, sitting there pouring himself a drink.

After a while, Xiao Yongyan came, accompanied by Concubine Xian as usual, but this time he also brought Li Jieyu with him.

At the banquet, a beautiful dancer in red was arranged to perform a dance. The music suddenly started, and the clanging sound hovered over the hall. Her red dress danced especially enchantingly at night, attracting the attention of the men present.

The voices of the ladies scolding their husbands rang in her ears, and Mo Ruxue just wanted to laugh.

She glanced sideways at Xiao Yonghan, and when she met his eyes, she quickly looked away in panic.

She even suspected that there was something wrong with Xiao Yonghan. That beautiful lady Chu Chu left her alone like that every day. She had never seen him spend the night there. Now this woman was so coquettish that he didn't even look at her.

"What is the princess thinking?"

"Nothing, nothing, hehe!"

When the song ended, the woman in red bent down and stepped back. The two envoys from the Western Regions were so drooling that they watched the woman leave eagerly.

Daiduo couldn't help but get angry when he saw the wretched looks of these two people. He picked up a glass of wine and threw it directly on their faces.

The two men came back to their senses, and one of them stood up suddenly, but dared not speak out in anger. He held the scimitar at his waist, gritted his teeth, and competed with Dai Duo in his eyes. In the end, he suppressed his anger and still

Sit down.

Mo Ruxue looked at the movement on the opposite side and raised the corner of her mouth. It seemed that the country of Mohe was not so peaceful.

Xiao Yongyan looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile: "Prince Daiduo brought two envoys to our country of Yan this time. Are they here to check the prince's marriage?"

Daiduo stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, let's talk about the marriage later. This time Daiduo comes here because there are more important things. I don't know what the emperor thought about what I said yesterday."

Xiao Yongyan thought for a moment, frowned and said: "I can't agree to that for the time being. I will give you an answer in half a month at the latest."

"Your Majesty, our Mohe country cannot wait that long. It would take more than a month to reach Mohe country from here by carriage. It takes too long," Daiduo looked very anxious.

Mo Ruxue lowered her voice and quietly approached Xiao Yonghan: "What are they talking about?"

"none of your business!"

"..."

Mo Ruxue's teeth were itching with hatred and she turned to look at him. Why is this person so annoying!

Xiao Yonghan sat upright and glanced sideways at her, feeling very good.

Xiao Yongyan did not back down: "I can't take risks. How about the prince sending a message to your father and asking him to think of a solution?"

Dai Duo sat down angrily, his face even more anxious.

Until the end of the dinner, he was drinking alone with his head down.

On the way back.

Xiao Yonghan sat quietly in the carriage, thinking about something and frowning.

"Hey, what is going on? If you tell me, maybe I can help," Mo Ruxue continued to ask without fear of death.

Xiao Yonghan did not argue with her again this time: "The Mohe Kingdom wanted to exchange jewelry for food and meat. A severe snowstorm broke out in their country. Many livestock had frozen to death in the past two months. Now there is a snowfield in the Western Region.

"

"really? Haha……"

Mo Ruxue seemed to see a pile of gold and silver jewelry placed in front of her. She now owned the largest granary in the Yan Kingdom. She smiled from ear to ear when she thought of this.

"You are very noisy!" Xiao Yonghan glanced at her angrily.

"Hey, I am in a good mood and I won't argue with you! By the way, in half a month, a locust plague will break out in the south. You should pay close attention to the situation in the south, which is the main food-producing area of ​​Yan State."

"Don't say nonsense that spreads rumors to stir up trouble and cause people to panic! How could you know about these things in advance?"

"Don't worry about how I know it, it's a secret! Just pay close attention to what I'm talking about. Don't worry, I won't trick you!"

Mo Ruxue patted Xiao Yonghan's shoulder carelessly, and when she received Xiao Yonghan's cold gaze, she retracted her hand.

Chu Chu wore a curtain hat, sneaked out of the palace, and sat with Zhang Xi Nian in the teahouse opposite.

The sound of a carriage came, and Chu Chu looked towards the door of the palace. Xiao Yonghan and Mo Ruxue got out of the carriage together. Behind the curtain, a pretty face with facial features twisted due to jealousy, and its hands clenched into fists.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xinian noticed something strange in her.

"I have something I need you to do."

"Miss, just ask."

Chu Chu revealed her plan in full, with hatred in her eyes.

In the past few days, Mo Ruxue went to Ouyang Xun more often. Xiao Yonghan went to Liuli Garden several times but never met her. When he went there early this morning, as usual, he still didn't meet her and returned to the study angrily.

Zhujian followed behind, looking at his master's abnormal behavior and puzzled. In the past, the prince almost never went to Liuli Garden. What happened recently? He went almost every day, and then he got angry when he didn't see the princess, and he still went the next day.

.

Another guard who was with Zhujian told him mysteriously that the prince was enlightened!

Carrying a plate of pastries, Chu Chu took the initiative to go to Xiao Yonghan's study.

Xiao Yonghan looked up and saw that it was her. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

Chu Chu sensitively noticed the disappointed look in his eyes. Who was he waiting for, Mo Ruxue?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The girl's health is much better. This is a pastry made by me. What do you think of it, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yonghan looked at the exquisite pastries on the plate, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that Mo Ruxue almost burned down the kitchen when he was cooking on his birthday, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's okay. The pastry is too delicate. I'll give it a try."

Xiao Yonghan picked one up, tasted it and then put it down. It was so sweet!

Chu Chu: "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

"No, I have some business work to do now. I'll eat after I finish my work."

"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is Minnu's birthday. I would like to invite you to a gathering at Fumanlou. I heard that the chef there is particularly good at Jiangsu cuisine. Minnu grew up in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and misses her hometown cuisine very much."

"Okay, if you want to eat in the future, just invite a cook who knows how to cook Jiangsu cuisine."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The daughter of the common people will leave first. Your Majesty, please be busy first."

Chu Chu came out of the study and felt cold when she saw Xiao Yonghan's lukewarm attitude. She continued walking to Liuli Garden.

No one stopped her at the door today, but Mo Ruxue wasn't there either. She exchanged a few words with the people in the yard and left.

In the evening, she was afraid that the people in Liulicuan would not buy her account and not spread the word properly, so she made another special trip.

"The bad woman is coming, the bad woman is coming!" The parrot under the eaves started talking as soon as he saw her coming in.

Chu Chu glared at the parrot fiercely. There really were birds like people!

Mo Ruxue was having dinner. When she saw him coming in, she put down her bowls and chopsticks and said, "I wonder what's wrong with Miss Chu Chu coming here at this time?"

Chu Chu walked forward with a smile: "I haven't been able to visit the princess during the time she was injured. I really feel sorry for her. I hope the princess won't be offended. The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and I want to invite the princess to go to Fumanlou to get together. I don't know if the princess is there.

time?"

Mo Ruxue's eyes were cold. This Chu Chu had done nothing good every time he came here. What kind of monster did he want to be this time?

"Miss Chuchu won't just invite me, right?"

"Of course not, and the prince, I don't dare to contact those close friends in the past. I hope the princess will reward you the day after tomorrow."

"Okay then! I'll go."

Chu Chu smiled at Mo Ruxue and blessed her body, then turned and left.

"The bad woman is gone, the bad woman is gone!"
