"You're worried too much." Wen Zimo's seemingly harmless smile hid something that made Bai Moyue resisted. He looked at Bai Moyue with burning eyes, and at the same time slowly drew the two of them closer.
"If I hadn't seen the princess intentionally trying to make things difficult for you, I wouldn't have come forward like this. What? You don't seem to want to thank me at all?"
"Thank you, General." Bai Moyue took two steps back uncomfortably and followed Wen Zimo's words: "I have been out for so long and the sound of the piano has stopped. It's time for me to go back."
"There's no rush, it's still early." Wen Zimo raised his hand to stop Bai Moyue's body from leaving, and said ambiguously: "What's the harm in chatting with me for a while?"
The smell of alcohol on Wen Zimo's body got into Bai Moyue's nose as he slowly approached. It was quiet and no one was around. Bai Moyue awkwardly wanted to reject Wen Zimo, but Wen Zimo pushed him back violently.
, leaning back against the wall.
"General...!"
Bai Moyue exclaimed, and under the reflex of her body, she almost started to resist. At the critical moment, the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps helped Bai Moyue escape, and a trace of anger flashed in Wen Zimo's beautiful eyes.
meaning.
"General, what are you doing?" Xi Honglei finally found Bai Moyue, but what he saw was a scene that he shouldn't have seen. He said jokingly to Wen Zimo, Xi Honglei couldn't tell that he was wrong.
Yue, but there is nothing he can do about it, because this is really not a place where he can die. "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It would be better for the general to pay attention to his words and deeds."
"What should I do, general? When will it be your turn to teach me?" Wen Zimo shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Xi Honglei and Bai Hanyi who was smiling awkwardly behind her.
"How dare I teach the general how to do things? It's just that this girl is mine, but I have to take care of her. The princess left in tears just now. If the trouble gets bigger, the emperor and the queen get angry, and Mo Yue is implicated, the general is sure that you can protect her.
Can she survive without being punished? She is not yours, so of course you won’t feel bad, but general, I am different." There was something in Xi Honglei's words that warned Wen Zimo to pay attention to his words and deeds, and also pay attention to what is going on here.
"There are so many princes and ministers here today. As the future prince-consort and the emperor's right-hand general, the general is probably not right to just run out like this, right? What if he is caught by the prince of the Xixi Kingdom?"
Let’s keep the topic alive, general, how do you want to explain?”
After listening to Xi Honglei's words, Wen Zimo was silent for a moment, snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left. Xi Honglei saw that he was indeed walking towards the banquet hall, so he relaxed a little.
"In the final analysis, he is just an ill-considered child." Bai Moyue suddenly spoke up and came to a conclusion about Wen Zimo. Regardless of his relationship with Ji Chen, Bai Moyue had to admit that some of his actions were indeed
There are shortcomings. In comparison, it can more and more show the princess's affection and forbearance towards Wen Zimo.
"But this 'child''s enthusiasm for you has only increased." Xi Honglei glanced at Bai Moyue and sighed faintly. "Although he is two years younger than you and me, he really can't be underestimated. Seeing that
He's leaving soon, please be careful and don't let him cause any trouble."
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Bai Hanyi interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "It wouldn't be good if we suddenly disappeared."
Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue nodded and followed Bai Hanyi. They all focused on Wen Zimo, so they failed to notice the person who had appeared here before they came.
Yang Xiang, who had been hiding in the dark, stood for a long time after witnessing everything, and then silently followed the direction of the people.
It seems that Yunmeng is right. Neither Bai Moyue nor Xihonglei is a fuel-efficient lamp. As long as you can't see it at a glance, someone might be targeting you. Yunmeng is fine now, at least Honglei
Everyone's affection for Yun Meng is obvious to everyone. But what about me? The reputation is not justified, and the marriage has not been consummated for several years. I finally calmed down Bai Moyue's violent mood, and then a high-ranking general came out to cause trouble.
…
Mu Yunmeng has always been in the lively banquet and never left. He watched Xi Honglei come in and watched Xi Honglei leave. He absentmindedly enjoyed the food and wine on the table. When he felt that the time was almost up,
Mu Yunmeng closed her eyes with a trace of tiredness.
Mu Yunmeng's actions were naturally noticed by Yin Shangyu. Yin Shangyu smiled slightly, moved and stood up. After looking around at the ministers who all looked at him, Yin Shangyu said: "There is no time."
It's early, the queen and I will go back to rest first."
After saying that, Yin Shangyu looked at Mu Yunmeng and asked, "Prince Qi has traveled a long way, I'm afraid he is tired, right?"
"I'm really tired." Mu Yunmeng accepted Yin Shangyu's words, drank the last glass of wine in his hand, stood up and said, "I happen to have something to say to the emperor, so why don't we go together."
Mu Yunmeng and Yin Shangyu left the palace and breathed the fresh air outside. When Mu Yunmeng heard Yin Shangyu asking him insinuatingly what he wanted to say to him, Mu Yunmeng looked up at the starry sky and whispered
"Your Majesty, what do you think of me walking around the palace with you to relax?"
"Now?" Yin Shangyu was a little surprised. He was so exposed late at night. What's wrong with him?
"Yes, now."
Yin Shangyu agreed to Mu Yunmeng's proposal after thinking about it for a while. Under the worried gaze of Queen Mu Cenxiang, Yin Shangyu and Mu Yunmeng walked forward together. After walking for a while, Mu Yunmeng spoke again,
He said: "Your Majesty, if I am correct, my visit to Yunchuan Country this time is the first time our emperor has sent someone here since he ascended the throne?"
"Yes, it is indeed the first time."
"Then my responsibility is really important." Mu Yunmeng said with a meaningful smile, turned to look at Yin Shangyu, and continued: "To be honest with the emperor, in fact, I came all the way this time, in addition to wishing the emperor a birthday.
, there is one more thing that I want to trouble the emperor with."
"Why are you bothering Prince Qi?" Yin Shangyu had already guessed that Mu Yunmeng must have other reasons for coming this time, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient and start talking to him so quickly.
"In your opinion, what is the biggest difference between our Xixi Kingdom and Yunchuan Kingdom?"
"Terrain?" Yin Shangyu lowered his eyes in thought and asked.
"Yes, it's the terrain." Mu Yunmeng nodded repeatedly, "Although the two countries are similar in size, Yunmeng said bluntly, I think that in terms of strength, Yunchuan Kingdom may not be as good as Xixi Kingdom. Your Majesty
What do you think?"
Even if Mu Yunmeng didn't say it, Yin Shangyu, the emperor of Yunchuan Kingdom, knew this in his heart. Xixi Kingdom was connected with Xuanxuan Kingdom and Zizi Kingdom. Since Zizi Kingdom annexed Xuanxuan Kingdom and formed an alliance with Xixi Kingdom,
The strength of Xixi Kingdom far exceeds that of his own country. Yunchuan Kingdom is surrounded by wasteland, and everything in the entire country is in a state of self-sufficiency. And this is the focus of Yin Shangyu's recent consideration.
"What exactly does Prince Qi want to say?" Yin Shangyu asked directly with a flash of his eyes.
"I would like to negotiate an agreement on behalf of our emperor. I wonder if the emperor is interested?"
Agreement? Yin Shangyu looked at Mu Yunmeng cautiously, wondering in his mind what the agreement he was referring to was.
Mu Yunmeng smiled lightly and let Yin Shangyu's scrutinizing eyes sweep over his face. Before Yin Shangyu could give an answer, Mu Yunmeng said: "Your Majesty, I wonder where I will rest tonight?
"
Mu Yunmeng quickly changed the topic, and Yin Shangyu laughed accordingly and said: "Yes, it's getting late, it's time to go back and rest. Someone, please send Prince Qi to Yongde Hall to rest!"
"Mu Yunmeng respectfully sends you to the Emperor." Mu Yunmeng lowered his head and waited for Yin Shangyu to leave his side before raising his head and looking at the few guards who Yin Shangyu had left behind. "Let's go."
On the way to Yongde Hall with a few people, Mu Yunmeng happened to meet Xi Honglei and others who were about to leave the palace and return to the General's Mansion. A playful smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yunmeng's mouth and he walked straight away.
In the past, after greeting several people, Mu Yunmeng looked directly at Xi Honglei and said: "The girl is not only beautiful, but she also plays the piano well. She is really both talented and beautiful, which is admirable."
Mu Yunmeng's compliment made Xi Honglei feel chills on her back. "Thank you, common man, for the compliment." She replied respectfully and seriously, but what she got was Mu Yunmeng's incomprehensible praise.
.
Mu Yunmeng said one sentence after another about the benefits of Qi Honglei. Not only did Qi Hongli feel uncomfortable listening to it, but even Bai Moyue and Bai Hanyi felt a little cold. Finally, after Mu Yunmeng left,
Before anyone could say anything, Wen Zimo took the lead and said: "I thought the prince of Xixi Kingdom was so great, but it turns out it's nothing more than that."
Wen Zimo said, looking at Xi Honglei with disdain, "I really don't understand, I'm attracted to you for something."
"The general's vision is different from others, so naturally he can't see the good things in me. I don't blame the general." He said with a red face and a smile, and then dragged Bai Moyue to take a step forward.
After struggling all night, several people finally returned to the general's mansion. Wen Zimo changed his previous recklessness in the palace and went directly back to his own courtyard. Bai Moyue, Xi Honglei and Bai Hanyi returned to the resting place and entered
After entering the room, I collapsed on the bed exhausted, not wanting to get up, not even bothering to take off my clothes, just wanting to rest.
The sound of the door being pushed open didn't make Bai Moyue pay much attention. She just thought it was Xi Honglei who came to talk to her, so she continued to lie there unprepared and asked: "What's wrong?"
But the man's voice in reply to her made Bai Moyue sit up straight suddenly, and all her tiredness disappeared.
