When Mo Jinran heard this, he almost fell to the ground. His face was a little ugly. Seeing this, Princess Xili quickly asked: "General Mo, what's wrong? You still don't like Xili?" As she said that, her eyes began to turn red.
From the red face just now to the red eye circles now, it only takes a moment. When it comes to women, it is faster to fall out than to read a book, and tears are like the unpredictable weather, which changes at a moment's notice.
"No, Your Highness Princess, please don't cry!" Mo Jinran became anxious and called Her Highness back. "It's not that I don't like you, it's just..."
When Princess Xili heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in her eyes, and she looked at Mo Jinran eagerly. "General, since you said you don't like it, then what exactly is it?"
"It's just that I can't like Her Highness the Princess!" Mo Jinran gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say this.
Princess Xili became confused: "Why can't you like Xili? Xili likes you so much! Is it because of your face? Xili doesn't care, Xili will find a way to cure your face, and Mr. Leng will also help.
do not you?"
Princess Xili's stubbornness moved Mo Jinran. Such love was something she couldn't achieve. She liked Yanye at that time, but she never dared to stalk her like this. She was afraid that she would get hurt, so she didn't
I dare to persevere. Now think about it, I have been a human being for three times, which adds up to dozens of years, but I am not as good as a teenage girl. But mentioning Leng Qing and giving her another plan, although it is all about ruining herself, but
She couldn't care less about that at the moment.
"Princess, if you really want to know the reason, I have no choice but to tell you, but please keep it a secret!" Mo Jinran said sincerely, which made Xili's heart suddenly tighten.
She looked at Mo Jinran and nodded: "Okay, Xi Li swears on the honor of Princess Canfeng that she will never reveal a word about General Mo, otherwise there will be a thunder and lightning strike."
"Alas! Your Highness, don't make such a heavy oath, I can't bear it." Mo Jinran said with some shame. After all, she still had to lie to Princess Xili.
"General Mo, you're out again, call me Xi Li! That's right!" Xi Li is also impatient and can't wait to know why Mo Jinran can't like her.
"Actually, actually, I, I am Duanxiu! What I like is, men!" Mo Jinran said this with great difficulty. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Princess Xili, but glanced at Princess Xili from the corner of his eyes.
look.
Sure enough, Princess Xili was so shocked that she even forgot to close her mouth when she opened it. Her face was filled with disbelief. "You, you, you..." When she came to her senses, she couldn't even say three words "you".
Keep talking.
Mo Jinran lowered his head in shame. "I'm sorry Xili, I lied to you before, but I don't know why. I have liked men since I was born. I dare not tell anyone, let alone let my father know that I
I can't like you, let alone marry you. That will harm you for the rest of your life. I want to be with you, and I want to be your sister. You also know that our Mo family is all women, and I am the only man. But I
I think, in fact, I should be reincarnated as a woman, oh! Do you know? How much I envy the skirts you are wearing, they are so beautiful!"
Mo Jinran said half-truthfully that she was playing the sympathy card with Princess Xili. She was reluctant to lose this good sister, and she was even more afraid that she would be doomed if Princess Xili was angry.
Princess Xili pursed her lips. From the initial disbelief, she has now begun to sympathize with Mo Jinran. Although she was born in the royal family, she is also a kind girl. "Well, Xili knows, you, you are so pitiful
! If I were born a man, it would be very painful." Her eye circles turned red again, which made Mo Jinran feel a lot more guilty. However, she didn't think so, as long as she treated Princess Xili in the future.
As a good sister, treat her even better and make it up to her.
In the end, Princess Xili not only did not blame Mo Jinran, but also comforted her for a long time. Then Mo Jinran accepted a lot of beauty care products from Princess Xili and left the palace.
In the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve. There is no need to go to the morning court today. All civil and military officials have a three-day holiday. They will continue to attend the morning court from the third day of the Lunar New Year.
And early in the morning, when Mo Jinran greeted General Mo, he knew that there would be a family banquet in the palace today, that is, all the royal relatives would celebrate the New Year in the palace. However, in this way, the Ninth Prince would
After entering the palace, wouldn't Yanye have to spend time alone in the Nine Princes' Mansion?
There is a saying that during the festive season, we miss our loved ones even more. It must be difficult for Yanye to spend it alone on such a day. After informing General Mo, he couldn't help but go to the Nine Princes' Mansion.
There were almost no people on the street today. Some people were coming and going. The shops were closed. Except for a few taverns that had reserved tables, they were all closed and going home for the holidays. Mo Jinran went all the way to the Jiuwang Mansion. The door of the Jiuwang Mansion
There are several huge red lanterns hanging outside, which makes it very lively.
In other words, the royal relatives are different from ordinary people.
When he arrived at the door, he was greeted by the concierge. The servants of the Nine Princes' Mansion, like those of Xu Yi's Mansion, were particularly enthusiastic about Mo Jinran.
Mo Jinran originally came to see Yan Ye, but now he couldn't lose face and asked, so he just said: "Is your Ninth Prince in the house?"
"What a coincidence. The Ninth Prince has just left for a quarter of an hour to greet the Queen Mother and the Concubine in the palace. He will not return home until the palace banquet in the evening. General Mo, please go in and have a cup of tea first!" The housekeeper came to greet Mo Jin in person.
Of course, he also changed into luxurious clothes, comparable to a wealthy man, and he was obviously going home to celebrate the New Year.
"Uh, no need. Then, is Vice-General Yan still in your house? Well, I have something to discuss with Vice-General Yan!" Mo Jinran coughed and relieved her nervousness. She had entered the capital without fighting, so she
There is nothing to do, if she talks about discussing things now, Gu Hong will definitely laugh at her.
"Oh, yes, please wait a moment, I will go and inform you immediately." After saying that, the butler ran towards the inner courtyard.
Mo Jinran could only sit there and drink tea while waiting, still thinking about what he would say to Yan Ye later.
It didn't take five minutes for Yan Ye to walk out. He was still wearing a dark brocade robe. It was not luxurious, but it gave people a graceful feeling. When he saw Mo Jinran, something strange flashed in his eyes, and then he resumed his usual behavior.
Some have expressionless faces. "You're here."
"Well, I, I'm here, I..." Mo Jinran thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any suitable reason. Finally, he blurted out the words without thinking. "I'm here to ask you about the new year's goods.
Ready?"
After saying that, she wanted to bite off her tongue. It was already the New Year's Eve, who was not ready? Besides, Yan Ye was in Gu Hong's house, and he had everything in his house, so what could he do without Yan Ye?
What is the use of wildness?
Yan Ye raised his eyebrows and drew an imperceptible arc on his lips, but did not say a word, otherwise Mo Jinran would be even more embarrassed.
"Ahem, um, it seems that Gu Hong won't be back for dinner tonight, you... you, you go to my house!" Finally, Mo Jinran said the words. "I, I don't mean anything else.
, I just had dinner with you during the New Year last year, so I should treat you back during the New Year this year." She started to be incoherent again. However, Yan Ye also understood what she meant, and looked at her red ears and felt very good.
"Okay, I'm just worried that I don't have anywhere to eat." Yan Ye agreed immediately, making Mo Jinran feel relaxed.
Just as he was about to invite Yan Ye to go to his home, a woman in a lake blue dress walked out of the inner courtyard. She walked gracefully and was very beautiful. Mo Jinran took a closer look and saw that it was Xiao Qiao. For so long, she
I almost forgot that there was such a person. Suddenly, my heart felt as if there was a big stone stuck in it, making me feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Qiao came over and saw a flash of resentment in Mo Jinran's eyes, but he still bowed obediently. "Long time no see, General Mo! Master, Xiao Qiao is going to prepare dumplings for the night. I want to ask you what fillings you want."
of?"
Mo Jinran just nodded towards Xiao Qiao without saying anything else, and raised his ears waiting for Yan Ye to reply.
Yanye said without even thinking, "I won't be back today. Just make whatever you like! General Mo, let's go!"
After saying that, Xiao Qiao left the Ninth Prince's Mansion in a daze.
Mo Jinran didn't expect that Yanye would agree to stay one night at Mofu. He originally thought that it would be good if he could agree to have a New Year's Eve dinner at Mofu. It seemed that he still didn't understand Yanye too well.
The two of them were walking back to Mo Mansion. On the way, Yan Ye opened a jade shop. The boss had already closed for the New Year celebration in the backyard, but when he saw it was Yan Ye, he still let Yan Ye into the house.
Yanye took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to the boss. The boss looked at the number on it and went to the backyard with a smile on his face. After a while, he came back with a brocade box in his hand. Yanye took it and said
After thanking him, he and Mo Jinran left the jade shop.
"What is this?" Mo Jinran asked Yanye curiously, like a curious baby.
Yan Ye smiled lightly. Although he was wearing a mask that was different from his original appearance, the smile still made Mo Jinran lose his mind for a moment. "Don't tell!"
Mo Jinran frowned, this thing should have been brought to her house, wasn't it for her? She wanted to ask, but was still embarrassed. Yan Ye didn't say anything until she reached the door, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Mo Jinran brought Yan Ye to the main hall. General Mo and several ladies were joking in the main hall. Seeing Yan Ye coming, he got up and greeted him personally. Yan Ye threw Mo Jinran aside and started chatting with General Mo.
The brocade box in his hand was also presented to General Mo. It turned out that the gift in the box was for General Mo.
Mo Jinran couldn't help but pouted and moved forward. When General Mo opened it, he realized that it was actually a white jade chess set.
White jade is inherently valuable, and thirty-two pieces made into chess pieces are even more valuable. Mo Jinran began to calculate the amount on the silver note he just gave to the shopkeeper.
