Chapter 73 Betrothal and birthday gifts (please don't raise books)
When Ye Xiaoxiao talked about the betrothal gift, Mo Wen remembered that the various elixirs he had refined were still lying quietly in his storage ring.
He originally wanted to give it as a congratulatory gift at the birthday banquet. But first he had to deal with Ouyang Mingri, and then he was toasted repeatedly, and then Eunuch Yin came to visit. Mo Wen was so tormented that he completely forgot about it!
The birthday banquet lasted for two hours, and all the immediate and collateral members of the Ye family, including servants and maids, were all involved in the birthday reception.
Ye Xiaoxiao's maids Xiaohong and Xiaocui were no exception. After chatting with Ye Xiaoxiao for a few words at his residence, his eyes gradually became strange and his heart became hot.
Ye Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed by his fiery gaze that Mo Wen saw no one around, so he simply took Ye Xiaoxiao and took a nap for an hour.
Ye Xiaoxiao refused at first, but under the three-way attack of Mo Wen and his subordinates, top, middle and bottom, she was quickly defeated and took the initiative to entangle him.
Ten thousand words are omitted here...
An hour later, Mo Wen was full of energy, while Ye Xiaoxiao collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
But before Ye Xiaoxiao fell asleep, she strongly asked Mo Wen to send him back to her boudoir.
After Mo Wen sent Ye Xiaoxiao back, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he looked at the mostly wet and messy bedding in his room.
He put the bedding into the storage ring and put on a new set.
Mo Wen poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
The tea is refreshing and delicious, fills the mouth with saliva, and plays a very good role in soothing the throat.
After drinking some tea, Ye Qingyun hurried to Mo Wen's residence.
"Where's Xiaoxiao? Isn't she with you?"
Ye Qingyun looked at Mo Wen who was drinking tea alone and said in surprise.
Ye Xiaoxiao came back to see Mo Wen an hour ago. Why is Mo Wen sitting here alone?
"Senior, please have some tea! I've had too much wine, so it's nice to have a cup of tea to moisten your throat. Xiaoxiao worked too hard today. She chatted with me for a while and went back to her room to sleep..."
Mo Wen took out a teacup from the table, made Ye Qingyun a cup of tea, and said with a smile.
"Well... everyone is exhausted from this birthday party, so let her have a good rest!"
Ye Qingyun did not doubt his presence, took a sip of tea and said.
"Good tea! Give me another cup..."
For this birthday banquet, everyone in the Ye family has been busy preparing for the birthday banquet these days, and everyone is very tired.
So when Mo Wen said that Ye Xiaoxiao was overworked, he nodded in agreement.
"Yes! She is very tired..."
Mo Wen poured Ye Qingyun another cup of tea and said with a slight curl of the corners of his mouth.
"By the way! What happened when Eunuch Yin was kicked out by you today?"
Ye Qingyun drank the tea in the cup and asked.
"He knows me, he just doesn't dare to offend me..."
Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Oh... is it because of your eighth-grade alchemist master?"
"No! It's my other identity. This is exactly what I want to tell my senior..."
Mo Wen muttered.
"Another identity?"
Ye Qingyun frowned when he heard this.
What's going on with this kid?
The ancestor's apprentice, the heir to the sword, and the master of alchemy, actually have other identities?
"Senior, my other identity is the third prince of the Mo Dynasty, Mo Wen."
Mo Wen looked at Ye Qingyun and said calmly.
"You...hey...this is your fate! I thought I rejected a second prince, but unexpectedly a third prince showed up..."
Ye Qingyun looked at Mo Wen, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed.
The Ye family resisted the decree because they didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family, but they didn't expect to be able to avoid it in the end.
"Senior, why do you exclude the royal family so much?"
Mo Wen said doubtfully.
"I'm not rejecting it. The Ye family is going through a troubled time now, and the situation on the mainland has just stabilized. I just don't want the Ye family to get involved in royal disputes..."
Ye Qingyun said.
"Senior, you can rest assured that I have no intention of fighting for power. I am only focused on practicing..."
Mo Wen said with a smile.
"If you don't want to, can you tell what others think? Take my little Ye family as an example. Xiaotian and I are brothers, so isn't there a conflict?"
Ye Qingyun spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"Senior, I'm going back this time to resolve this matter. Don't worry, senior, I won't let the Ye family get involved. After all, I can be considered a member of the Ye family, right?"
Mo Wen looked at Ye Qingyun and said solemnly.
"Hahaha...Okay, okay, I believe you! The Ye family will not interfere in royal affairs, but they can be your strong backing, because you are a member of our Ye family..."
Ye Qingyun laughed heartily and said.
"Senior, this is the elixir you asked me to refine. The Peiyuan Pill and the Infant Spirit Pill were refined in three batches each. Each batch contains ten elixirs..."
Mo Wen nodded, then took out six jade vials from the storage ring and placed them on the table.
"This... I'm really sorry. This is a lot more than what we said before..."
Ye Qingyun rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Mo Wen heard Ye Qingyun say this, but he couldn't see why he was embarrassed at all.
"How about I bring some back? Just calculate it according to the amount we mentioned before?"
Mo Wen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.
"Sigh... there is no way to take back something that has been given away! The previous batch of Pei Yuan Dan and the two batches of Infant Spirit Pills were the dowry gifts for Xiaoxiao. Now there are two extra batches of Pei Yuan Pills and one batch of Infant Spirit Pills.
It’s a birthday gift to me. There’s no conflict..."
"You kid stole the spotlight on my 100th birthday. How can I make it right if you don't give me something nice to compensate? Besides, how can you make it happen if you don't give some gifts to the elders on their birthday?"
Ye Qingyun quickly swept his sleeves away, taking away all six jade vials on the table, and said seriously.
Mo Wen looked at this scene and thought to himself.
Ginger is indeed still spicy!
Ye Qingyun's words were very clear and logical, leaving no room for Mo Wen to refute.
Haha...let this old man like you be proud for a while first.
After some time, Xiaoxiao comes to him and asks for the Nine-leaf Zhilan. I think his expression will be very exciting!
"Senior said that the remaining ones should be treated as birthday gifts from this junior to you..."
Mo Wen nodded and said.
"Hahaha... I like how you do things quickly, and I like it! By the way, when are you and Xiaoxiao leaving?"
Ye Qingyun laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration. Don't ask, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"It's getting late now. I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. I'm receiving a lot of attention now, so I plan to leave quietly and won't say goodbye to my seniors tomorrow. Xiaoxiao won't go with me for the time being. She said she has something else to do and wants to stay at Ye's house more
In time, she will meet me at Jingce Mansion..."
Mo Wen muttered.
"Hmm... Not bad! Be cautious and relaxed, Xiaoxiao will follow you, I'm relieved! Now that you two have discussed it, I won't ask any more questions. It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest..."
Ye Qingyun said.
"Senior, just say goodbye!"
Mo Wen stood up, cupped his fists and saluted.
Mo Wen will leave quietly tomorrow. This move is a formal farewell to Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun looked at Mo Wen for a long time, then grinned.
"Bon Voyage!"
