Wang Xuan, on the other hand, picked up the tea set wantonly, put it to his lips and took a sip, looking calmly at the little girl who placed the cards on the table.
In fact, He Mucheng knew nothing about tarot cards, and she arranged them as she pleased. After some confusing operations, she raised her eyes and smiled at Sima Shao, "Your Highness, please choose one."
Sima Shao pointed at the middle one suspiciously.
He Mucheng opened it, stared at the English description displayed above, and said cryptically, "The Duke of Wuchang can only serve the Jin Dynasty for less than two years. It's a pity."
She said it was a pity, but she didn't look depressed at all.
Sima Shao immediately showed his face, "Really it's only two years?"
He Mucheng took a deep look at Sima Shao and reminded him, "Your Highness, the Duke of Wuchang is more eager to be loyal. Your Highness the Prince does not need to worry during this period. After that, he fell ill like a mountain, and the son of the Duke of Wuchang was unable to bear the heavy responsibility.
At that time, His Royal Highness will have to take care of it personally."
Although her words were vague, the implication was clear.
In the early stage, Wang Dun was arrogant and domineering, and Sima Shao couldn't control him even if he wanted to, so he had to be patient. But later on, Wang Dun would get sick and his son would be incapable. At that time, it would be a good time to fight back.
These words made the direction of the subsequent story very clear. Even Wang Xuan, who had always been calm, widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Okay!" Sima Shao clapped his hands, "If it is true as the girl said, I will give you a good reward!"
The time has come!
He Mucheng took back the Tarot cards, glanced at Ji Yunyuan, and added, "However, fate is fluid. Objective regularity is important, but subjective initiative is also indispensable. Wuchang County Duke is far away from Jiankang, and his protection for the prince is obvious.
If that’s not enough, Jiankang still needs a main force.”
After saying this, she silently thanked herself for writing so hard for the postgraduate entrance examination.
She was really afraid that Sima Shao would do nothing from now on and just wait for Wang Dun to be taken away by heaven. In this case, how could Ji Yunyuan be reused?
At the same time, Ji Yunyuan also spoke at the right time, "By the way, Yunyuan's trip to the south is actually to deliver a letter to General Liu Wei. General Liu Wei has confessed to this letter and wants your Majesty to sign it personally."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his lapel.
Sima Shao stretched out his palm and pushed it politely, and said firmly, "General Ji, don't be anxious. Since you want my father to do it in person, how can I dare to do it for you? I hope General Ji will take the soldiers to Jiankang with him and personally do it."
Leave it to Father."
Huh? Follow Wang Xuan to Jiankang? Is this an obvious invitation?
He Mucheng looked at Wang Xuan without any trace, only to see him wink at him playfully.
She responded with a smile, but before she could close her mouth, Ji Yunyuan quietly held her in his hands.
The group of people boarded the ship heading south in a grand manner.
In the dead of night, Ji Yunyuan was leaning on the railing and looking at the river in trance, when he suddenly heard the sound of clear footsteps behind him.
"I have gone to Jiankang as you wished," he turned around and faced the little girl's pure face, "Ayan, when will you be willing to stay with me?"
"A man should put state affairs first and think about the love of his children all day long. How can he behave like this?" He Musheng disciplined him in a serious manner, then he jumped lightly, turned his back to the river, and sat down on the bow of the boat.
The night wind came, and the broken hair on both sides of her head swayed playfully in the wind, and the dress underneath her also danced gracefully, as if she would fly away in the next second.
Ji Yunyuan stepped forward and held her Hao wrist tightly.
"I know that it was my attitude that hurt you at the beginning, but at that time I didn't understand love and thought that there was nothing more between men and women. The reason why I gave you the title of concubine was because my father had some random love affairs when I was young...
…”
He Mucheng tilted his head and smiled lazily, "Ji Yunyuan, I will be sent to the Lucheng Palace by Qin Nu and others at that time. Is it because you refused to save me?"
Ji Yunyuan was a little stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond.
"You want me to be sent to the Lucheng Palace, to make me afraid, to make me helpless, and to make me regard you as my only salvation the moment you appear. In this way, I will be completely controlled by you."
Her tone was very calm, so calm that it made Ji Yunyuan feel scared from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
"Ayan, I... didn't understand love at that time. I just wanted you to be by my side quietly and not to be jealous of other women. I swear, I have already arranged it. Even if you enter the Lucheng Palace, you will never be jealous."
I won’t be tainted by the King of Lu City in the slightest..."
"Ji Yunyuan, saying you don't understand love is not an excuse for you to do something wrong. As a human being, you still have to pay the price for what you have done."
"Ayan, I have already paid the price. I don't know when, but I started to worry about gains and losses. When I see you smiling at other men, I will get angry. Just now you smiled at Wang Xuan..."
Having said this, the corners of Ji Yunyuan's mouth drooped, feeling a little aggrieved.
He Mucheng jumped off the deck, reached out and pinched the corner of his mouth, pushed it up, and smiled like a flower.
Ji Yunyuan's face was filled with joy, and he subconsciously wanted to hug her, but the little girl bent down to avoid him.
She raised her eyebrows and said word by word, "Ji Yunyuan, I am saying this to tell you that I am not your plaything, and I will not regard anyone as your salvation. If you want to use this method to keep me, I advise you.
You’d better give up as soon as possible.”
Ji Yunyuan looked at her quietly for a long time, then smiled to himself, "It's been so long, and if I still don't understand this, then it's been a waste of time for me to get along with you."
He Musheng tilted his head, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "In addition, if you want your wife not to be jealous of other women, this is actually very easy to do. If you don't take a concubine, she will naturally not be jealous."
Ji Yunyuan frowned in confusion, "Don't take concubines?"
He Musheng was a little disappointed with his reaction. Although she knew that it was normal for men in this era to spread their branches and reproduce children, she just couldn't accept it.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, He Mucheng suddenly felt angry in his heart, "You really are still thinking about going around and around!"
Yes, this man has such a nature, how could he change his gender just because of her arrival? It’s easy to change a country but hard to change a person’s nature!
Thinking of this, He Mucheng turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step forward, Ji Yunyuan tightened his arms domineeringly and held him in his arms.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Ayan has me in her heart, otherwise why would she be so angry?"
"Let go..." After struggling to no avail, she opened her mouth and bit Ji Yunyuan's arm.
She used a lot of force to bite her, but Ji Yunyuan just frowned slightly and chuckled, "If you are angry in your heart, just bite me to relieve it. Once the anger is gone, don't be willful anymore."
."
When He Musheng heard what he said, he loosened his teeth angrily and felt a fishy-sweet smell spreading to his mouth. She was startled. Wasn't this guy's arm bleeding from her bite?
Ji Yunyuan didn't care, he sighed softly and explained, "What kind of concubine do you want to take? I can't deal with an Ayan, so how can I have the energy to take a concubine?"
"Hmph! You said it nicely, so I don't believe you!" He Mucheng raised his arm and struck with his elbow, and Ji Yunyuan loosened his restraint.
"Hey, you are back to your own territory soon, and your temper has improved?" Ji Yunyuan joked with a smile.
His reminder successfully made He Musheng realize the purpose of coming to him.
"Don't make trouble, I have business with you," she glanced at Ji Yunyuan and said in a low voice, "His Majesty will pass away around November this year. In the year after Sima Shao succeeds to the throne, Wang Dun's power will reach its peak.
, you will be targeted sooner or later if you lead the Ji family army to garrison Jiankang."
"Don't worry, he can't kill me." Ji Yunyuan raised his hand to touch the top of her head.
He Musheng quickly knocked off his fingertips and said in a deep voice, "What I mean is that when you attend banquets in the future, you must bring me with you. A scholar can destroy a person's means, and no military general will be honest. We are here to build health this time.
The only purpose is to make friends with the world and make you famous."
