Huo Nuannuan wanted to say she didn't know, because she and her cousin were innocent. She didn't know if she would be like that just now when facing him, but every time her cousin came close, even if he just wanted to hold her hand , she was a little repelled, so she didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her if she was like him just now, but in order to make Chu Lingxiao lose interest in her and stop him from doing that to her in the future, she could only say against her will: "That's right. "
After hearing this, Chu Lingxiao was furious: "You, you dare to die, woman." He stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and asked coldly: "Did you and Shi Yuhua do what you just did?" matter?"
His words made Huo Nuannuan's little face turn red to the point of bleeding. She glared at him angrily. She really wanted to slap him. She felt so wronged and shouted angrily: "Chu Lingxiao, what are you talking about! I and I My cousin is innocent, you think everyone is like you!"
"Innocent? Huh! You have been engaged since childhood, how can you be innocent? Maybe you have been together for a long time." Chu Lingxiao was blinded by jealousy, thinking that they had known each other since childhood, and that there was no relationship between them. Maybe after being so close, he was going crazy with jealousy.
"You, you, Chu Lingxiao, you are not a human being." He angrily shook off Chu Lingxiao's hand and ran away.
Seeing Huo Nuannuan running away, Chu Lingxiao felt very upset. In fact, that was not what he was thinking. He knew that Huo Nuannuan was not the kind of casual girl, but just now he thought of Shi Yuhua and the engagement between them. He lost his mind because he was afraid that she would eventually choose to marry Shi Yuhua and he would lose her, so he could no longer think rationally, but at this moment he was extremely upset.
Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, I obviously wanted to have a good meal with her, but why did it end up like this! Why can't I control my temper every time I'm with her
Every time I want to have a good talk with her, they end up breaking up on bad terms. Is it true that they have incompatible personalities and are destined not to be a couple
No, it won't happen, Chu Lingxiao, you can't give up just like this. You have to persist and chase Huo Nuannuan. If you can't marry her, you will never meet a woman you like again in your life.
If there is any misunderstanding, you should explain it clearly as soon as possible. Don't let the misunderstanding stay overnight, otherwise it will only alienate the relationship between each other.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingxiao immediately walked out.
Huo Nuannuan came out of the room and came to the arch bridge over the lake alone. She sat on the steps of the arch bridge and looked up at the full moon in the night sky. People said that people with a full moon reunite, but who did she want to reunite with
After Chu Lingxiao searched in the yard for a long time, he finally found Huo Nuannuan on the arch bridge. He quietly let go of his worries, thinking that she left in a fit of anger! If she leaves, he really doesn't know how to get her back to him.
Chu Lingxiao came and sat down next to Huo Nuannuan, looked at her with a smile on her lips.
Huo Nuannuan turned her head to look at him. His smile made Huo Nuannuan even more unhappy. She rolled her eyes at him, looked away, and said coldly: "Bullying me makes you happy, doesn't it?"
Chu Lingxiao shook his head: "No!"
"Then why are you still bullying me?" Huo Nuannuan pouted and complained.
Chu Lingxiao still looked at her and said seriously: "I'm sorry!"
Huo Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him in disbelief: "I'm sorry, what's the use? I was bitten by a dog, can I bite it back?"
"You—" Chu Lingxiao's anger almost ignited again, but thinking that he was sincerely apologizing, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a charming smile, and said sincerely: "Yes, yes, you said that. That's right, it was really my fault just now. Just don't be angry, okay?"
Huo Nuannuan still didn't buy it and turned her head away from him.
Chu Lingxiao saw that the little girl was really angry. He turned his bright eyes and immediately took her arm, rested his head on her shoulder, and said with a pinched voice: "Oh! Huo Daxiao, you are an adult and don't remember the villain." But, don’t give me any general knowledge! Forgive me! Don’t be angry.”
Chu Lingxiao's appearance made Huo Nuannuan instantly get goosebumps all over her body. She pushed him away and said, "Chu Lingxiao, what are you doing! Stop being so disgusting!"
"Huo Daxia, please forgive me! I really know that I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?" She shook Huo Nuannuan's arm and imitated the girl's act of coquettishness.
Huo Nuannuan's temperament has been like that of a boy since she was a child. Sometimes she can't stand the sight of girls acting coquettishly, not to mention that he is a grown man who is really unsightly.
"Chu Lingxiao, get out of here! It's so disgusting!" Huo Nuannuan pushed him in disgust.
But Chu Lingxiao clung to her tightly and refused to let go. He continued: "I won't let go. If you don't forgive me, I won't let go. When you let go of your anger, I will let go again. If I let go, What if you run away?"
Huo Nuannuan was about to cry but had no tears. She thought she was a person with no weaknesses, but how could she be defeated so easily in front of him
"Huo Daxia, please don't be angry!" Chu Lingxiao continued to make disgusting remarks.
Huo Nuannuan shuddered, she really couldn't stand him anymore, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm not angry anymore, I forgive you, let go quickly."
Chu Lingxiao said a little worriedly: "Is what you said true? You didn't lie to me, did you? You won't leave here, will you?"
"What I said is true. I didn't lie to you. I have a three-month agreement with you. I will not leave before the end of the agreement." Huo Nuannuan promised.
A cunning smile flashed in Chu Lingxiao's eyes, and she let go of Huo Nuannuan. He stood up suddenly, took Huo Nuannuan's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Huo Nuannuan was dragged away by him, confused and worried at the same time: "Chu Lingxiao, where are you dragging me to? Although I forgive you, if you dare to do it again, I will definitely I fell out with you."
Chu Lingxiao stopped, pretending to be confused and asked: "What about one more time?"
"..." Huo Nuannuan was speechless for a moment.
Chu Lingxiao continued to say seriously: "You haven't eaten anything for dinner. I asked Jie'er to reheat the dishes. Go and eat quickly! Otherwise, all my hard work will be in vain."
His words moved Huo Nuannuan inexplicably. It turns out that when he came out to apologize, he wanted to let himself go back to eat, fearing that he would starve. My heart felt warm instantly.
"Let's go! Otherwise the food will get cold again." He took her hand and continued to walk to the dining room.
A sweet smile appeared on the corners of Huo Nuannuan's lips, but Chu Lingxiao was in front and didn't see it.
next day
Today's morning court is destined to be recorded in history, because Beiming State sent people to negotiate surrender with Huachen State.
In fact, Beiming Kingdom already belongs to Huachen Kingdom. This time Beiming Kingdom sent people here just to inquire about future management issues.
Coming today is the second prince of Beiming Kingdom, the future heir to the throne of Beiming Kingdom.
The second prince of the Northern Ming Kingdom has the unique strength and tallness of the Northern Ming Kingdom, and at the same time, he has the elegance and handsomeness of the Huachen Kingdom men.
The second prince of the Northern Ming Dynasty was indeed a man among men, with a handsome appearance and a man who could definitely seduce women.
At the age of twenty-five, he is mature and steady, with a shrewd look in his eyes. Standing in the court hall, he respectfully saluted Jun Qianche: "I, Lu Yan, the second prince of Beiming Kingdom, meet His Majesty the Emperor of Huachen Kingdom."
Jun Qianche raised the corners of his lips slightly and said without anger, "Second Prince, thank you for your hard work for coming all the way."
At this time, the ministers looked at Beiming's submission. As Huachen people, they felt extremely proud. Thinking that when the emperor wanted to attack Beiming Kingdom, they had opposed it and felt that they could not win. Unexpectedly, the emperor not only led his soldiers to win, but also completely captured Beiming Kingdom. They really underestimated the strength of their own country's soldiers. The ability is really shameful.
"How can it be hard to meet His Majesty the Emperor?" the second prince said respectfully and politely.
Afterwards, Huachen Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom talked about what happened after they surrendered.
In fact, Jun Qianche did not let Beiming Kingdom completely fall under Huachen Kingdom and be managed in Huachen Kingdom's way. After all, the customs and customs of Beiming Kingdom and Huachen Kingdom were very different, and because of the geographical relationship, many Things can't be the same.
Therefore, Jun Qianche's decision was that Beiming Kingdom would still be managed by the royal family of Beiming Kingdom and would not interfere with each other, but Beiming Kingdom would pay tribute to Huachen Kingdom and pay homage to Huachen Kingdom every year.
Beiming Country was not completely taken away and managed by someone else. This was a happy thing for Beiming Country, so they would naturally agree to the conditions proposed by Jun Qianche.
From now on, Beiming Kingdom will be the vassal state of Huachen Kingdom.
In the morning meeting, matters between the two countries were discussed smoothly, and both parties were very satisfied.
After the official conversation was over, Jun Qianche said that he would give the second prince of Beiming Kingdom a welcome in the evening. He would prepare a palace banquet in the palace, which all ministers would attend, and then someone would arrange a stay for the second prince of Beiming Kingdom. at.
After all the matters were settled, he could have withdrawn from the court, but the second prince of Beiming Kingdom suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can I delay your time for a little longer?"
Jun Qianche said magnanimously: "Second Prince, there is no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. In this court, I have always advocated speaking freely. Second Prince, please feel free to say whatever you have to say."
The second prince said with some embarrassment: "In that case, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, during the battle at the border, I had the honor to meet General Bai once. At that time, General Bai on the battlefield was very heroic and heroic. At that time, I had a deep impression on her. Unfortunately, the two countries were at war with each other and could not become friends. But now, Huachen Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom have become one family, so I came here this time. Then I wanted to meet General Bai.
But after arriving in Kyoto, I heard that General Bai was actually a girl, which really surprised me. I didn’t expect that a woman could be so extraordinary, but I also knew the rules of Huachen Kingdom, and women were not allowed to enter the military camp, so I heard that General Bai had already Exited the court.
Because I had admired General Bai before and was not afraid of the emperor and other gentlemen laughing at me, I thought that General Bai, who was so delicate and beautiful, would be a good woman. But I didn’t expect that one of my original thoughts turned out to be true, so I’m going to My admiration for General Bai has turned into love. When I come to Huachen Kingdom this time, I hope to have the chance to write a good story with General Bai. I also hope that the emperor can satisfy his subordinates and General Bai. "
Hearing this, the ministers exclaimed, and then began to whisper. They all felt that General Bai and the second prince were a good match. Not only did they match in age, but they also matched in appearance. The man was handsome and handsome, and the woman was beautiful. Moreover, they are well-matched. Although the second prince is a member of the royal family of the Beiming Kingdom, he is now also a subject of the Huachen Kingdom. The Mo family has a distinguished status in the Huachen Kingdom. If the two can get married, it will further promote the relationship between the two. country relations.
I heard that the king of Beiming Kingdom is in very poor health now and may not last much longer. The second prince will succeed to the throne soon. If Miss Mo San marries the second prince, she will be the queen of Beiming Kingdom. She has a distinguished status, so they all nodded, feeling that the third young lady of the Mo family was so lucky, and even more envious of the three sons and daughters of Lord Zhen Guo, all of whom were great.
When Han Yixiao heard what the second prince said, he stared at him in shock, his eyes full of displeasure and hostility.
After listening to the discussions of the ministers, the anger in my heart became even stronger. I clenched my fists unconsciously to control my temper. I looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor's decision, but my heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, making me very nervous.
Jun Qianche naturally knew the relationship between Mo Jiujiu and Han Yixiao, so how could he grant this marriage so easily
Even if there was no incident between Han Yixiao and Mo Jiujiu, just speaking of Mo Jiujiu's identity as the queen's biological sister and his sister-in-law, he would not dare to rashly grant a marriage without the consent of Mo Jiujiu himself and the queen. If the Mo family objects, or Mo Jiujiu is unwilling, it will cause trouble for himself, so Jun Qianche smiled lightly and said: "Second prince, I think it is better to consult the woman's opinion before making a decision on this matter. It's better. After all, marriage is a lifelong event, and it's better for both of you to be happy and not to be hasty.
As for the marriage grant, if you two really have this fate, you can come to see me together and ask me to grant you a marriage. I will definitely grant you a marriage then, but before that, you should meet each other first and ask about it. What did Miss Mo San think, lest if one of the parties was unwilling to do this marriage gift, everyone would look bad. "
The second prince agreed very much with Jun Qianche's words, nodded and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is right, I will pay a visit to the Duke of Zhenguo now. I hope that during my time in Huachen Kingdom, I can use my sincerity to... Impress General Bai's heart and win the beauty back home."
Jun Qianche still smiled slightly, nodded, and then retreated.
Han Yixiao glared at Lu Yan angrily and walked out of the court hall. How he wished Bai Jiu had left Kyoto now. Didn't she say she wanted to go to the Jianghu to relax? Hopefully she's gone for now. Although I was very reluctant and sad when I thought of her leaving, now I hope she can go out for a walk first and avoid Lu Yan.
Chu Lingxiao followed Han Yixiao out of the court and out of the palace.
Han Yixiao was silent and silent. Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but stepped forward, hugged his shoulders and joked: "How do you feel when you hear that the second prince of Beiming Kingdom is going to marry Mo Jiujiu?"
Han Yixiao said coldly: "She has nothing to do with me and has no feelings."
Chu Lingxiao shook his head and smiled: "What did I say before? It's not just women who say what they mean, but men as well."
Han Yixiao stopped and looked at the hand on his shoulder.
Chu Lingxiao immediately moved his hand away knowingly, shook his head and said, "Don't be so harsh. You clearly love Mo Jiujiu in your heart, but you don't admit it. As a good friend, I have to remind you! If Lu Yan comes to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, After the marriage proposal is successful, Mo Jiujiu will marry far away from Beiming. I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet again in the future. Sometimes separation is more painful than death. Brother, think about it carefully! It is about letting go of grudges and being together happily. I still have to watch her marry far away and be separated forever." After patting Han Yixiao on the shoulder, Chu Lingxiao walked away.
You advise others to cherish their happiness, but where is your own happiness
Han Yixiao raised his head and saw Lu Yan getting on the carriage and driving towards the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Han Yixiao looked at the carriage going away, and the jealousy in his heart grew like grass. He thought in his heart: Can we really be happy together if we put down our grudges? Her mother will never agree to her marrying Bai Jiu. Since she doesn't agree, what's the point of going to her? It will just make each other more sad. But thinking of her marrying someone else and thinking of the beautiful memories with her, He was really unwilling and didn't want her to marry someone else.
Now Han Yixiao is really distressed and embarrassed. He feels like he has been forced into a dead end and doesn't know how to get out.
Zhenguogongfu
Since Yang Shihan and Mo Chengxuan got married, Mo Yunbo was naturally brought back to the Zhenguo Palace.
But Mr. Yang missed his grandson, so he often came to the Zhenguo Palace. The two old men often quarreled over holding the child.
"Old man Mo, give me a hug for a while." Mr. Yang circled around Duke Zhen, wanting to hug his grandson.
But the Duke of Zhen Guo refused and said: "You have been hugging her for a long time just now, and I have only hugged you for a while! I won't give it to you."
Master Yang said displeasedly: "Yunbo lives in Mo Mansion every day, and you can hug him at any time. I finally come here for a while, and you still fight for me. You are too narrow-minded!"
The Duke of Zhen Guo sneered coldly: "Come on! I'll pay you back for your hard work. Old man Yang, how do you have the nerve to say this? You'll almost live in our Duke Zhen Guo's house all day long. Besides, Well, you are a serving minister, why don’t you go to the morning court? Aren’t you afraid that the emperor will punish you?”
Mr. Yang smiled proudly and said: "I am applying for resignation! I have handed over some positions. Although I still have some positions, they are all idle positions. There is nothing to do. I have asked for leave from the emperor these days. You don’t have to go to morning court, so you can spend more time with Yun Bo.”
Duke Zhenguo said displeased: "Why is the emperor so sure?" It seems that it is necessary to find time to go to the palace and have a good talk with the emperor's son-in-law. But we can't let old man Yang resign, otherwise he won't come to compete with me every day. Bo!
"Oh! We are all old, and we need to give young people a chance to exercise, so the emperor has to give in. I don't plan to go. I just want to coax my grandson and enjoy family happiness every day." Master Yang said His face was relaxed. There was no rival in the court like Duke Zhen. He felt that staying there was no longer interesting, so he wanted to resign. Now he really likes this little grandson, and he misses him so much after not seeing him for a day.
After hearing what Mr. Yang said, Duke Zhen Guo quickly hugged his grandson tightly and declared his sovereignty: "Old man Yang, this is my grandson. Don't pay attention to my grandson. He can only grow up in Duke Zhen Guo's mansion. You can't even think about it." He takes it away."
Mr. Yang smiled evilly and said, "I have no intention of taking Yun Bo away! I will come to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to see him every day from now on."
"You, you, you, do you really think that the Zhen Guo Duke's mansion belongs to your family?" Zhen Guo Gong retorted dissatisfied.
Master Yang said proudly: "This is the home of my daughter and son-in-law, and it is also my home. I can come at any time, whenever I want. I can hold my grandson whenever he wants." Without paying attention, he snatched his grandson from his arms.
Mo Yunbo has been calmer and calmer than ordinary children since he was a child. Watching his grandpa and grandpa fighting for him, he didn't cry or make a fuss, he just watched with curious eyes.
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Guo Gong, who were sitting at the table leisurely drinking tea and talking, couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
Mrs. Yang shook her head and said: "These two people look like children when they are old."
The Duke's wife agreed: "Old boy, I'm talking about them. The two of them have been fighting for their whole lives and finally made peace with each other. Now they are fighting for their grandson. They are really two old men who refuse to give up."
Mrs. Yang, however, was not surprised and said: "Let them fight! They have been busy and fighting all their lives and suddenly retreated from the court. If they didn't bicker with each other for fun, it would be very boring."
The Duke's wife nodded: "Yes, if they really don't fight, we won't be used to it!"
The two laughed happily.
Although the two old men quarreled and quarreled, they were no longer as resentful and eager to kill each other as they were in the court. Now they were just bickering for fun. They had nothing to do except argue. You can coax your grandson to quarrel, such as playing chess, competing in martial arts, drinking tea, drinking, and eating. You can find topics to quarrel with and enjoy it. If one of you doesn't see the other, you will still talk about it. The relationship between the two brothers is getting better and better. It's getting better.
Mo Chengxuan and Yang Shihan watched this scene from the side, looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly and smiled. They were very happy and relieved that things could come to this point. Their feelings for each other had drawn into the relationship between the two families, and Because of Yun Bo's existence, the two old men who had been fighting for their entire lives developed a deep friendship even as they grew older.
"Old man Yang, please return your grandson to me. I've only been holding him for a while!" This time it was the Duke of Zhen who was surrounding Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang said proudly: "No, this is my grandson. I want to give him a good hug. If you also want to hold your grandson, you can go into the palace to hold your grandson!"
The Duke of Zhen Guo snorted coldly and said: "Chen'er is the Queen Mother's precious grandson, how can you bear to let me hold it! Do you think that my life is too long if you ask me to go into the palace to compete with the Queen Mother for your grandson? That's the Crown Prince. Can I just hold it casually?" When he mentioned his grandson, Duke Zhenguo looked proud. His grandson is the crown prince and will rule the world in the future. He is happy just thinking about it. His daughter is really amazing. Not only does the emperor love her with all his heart. , to have a generation of emperors abolish their harem for her is truly remarkable.
"Don't you still have a daughter? Let Jiujiu get married early and give you a grandson." Master Yang suggested.
"Even if Jiujiu gets married now, it will be a year before the child is born. Besides, Jiujiu doesn't have anyone he likes yet! So I'd better hold my grandson first!" He said and was about to grab it.
Mr. Yang had quick eyes and quick hands and immediately dodged away.
Duke Zhenguo was furious: "Yang Jingtian, give me your grandson."
"If you don't give it, you won't give it." Mr. Yang walked in front, and Duke Zhen Guo chased behind him. The scene was so cute.
At this time, the housekeeper hurried over and said, "Sir, the second prince of Beiming Kingdom wants to see you."
Duke Zhen Guo looked puzzled: "The second prince of Beiming Kingdom? Why did he come to see me? I don't know him? Besides, I have already withdrawn from the court, there is no need to see me!"
The steward said respectfully: "The second prince of Beiming Kingdom said that he has something important to talk to the master about, but it is not about state affairs, but about private matters."
"Private matters? I have nothing to talk to him about private matters. I just want to take care of my grandson! I don't have time." Zhen Guogong refused.
Seeing this, Mr. Yang had an idea and said: "Oh! You are a guest when you come in. The second prince of Beiming Kingdom has come all the way to visit you. It would be a little bad if you didn't see him! Besides, Huachen Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom are now We have reconciled, but we must not stalemate the relationship between the two countries because of you. Then you will become a sinner of Huachen Kingdom and go down in history as a sinner for the ages."
Duke Zhen glared at Mr. Yang displeasedly: "Shut your crow's mouth."
Master Yang raised his eyebrows proudly, but what he was actually thinking was: if he went to entertain the second prince of Beiming Kingdom, he would not have time to fight for Yunbo with him here, and he could just play with Yunbo.
Although Duke Zhenguo didn't want to see the second prince of Beiming Kingdom, as Yang Jingtian said, don't let the relationship between the two countries become tense because of him. It was not easy for the emperor to conquer Beiming Kingdom. He almost lost his relationship with Chengxuan. For the sake of his life, he couldn't destroy the emperor's hegemony. So I could only sigh helplessly and said to the housekeeper: "Ask the second prince of Beiming Kingdom to sit in the front hall first. I will be here soon."
"Yes!" The housekeeper went down immediately.
However, Duke Zhen Guo asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What is the purpose of this second prince from Beiming Kingdom coming to Duke Zhen Guo's residence?"
Seeing his father's confusion, Mo Chengxuan came over: "Dad—"
"Xuan'er, you came back from the court early. You must have met the second prince of Beiming Kingdom in the court! Do you know why he came to our Mo family?" Zhen Guogong asked his son.
Mo Chengxuan replied truthfully: "Dad, today during the morning court, the child did meet the second prince of Beiming Kingdom. He came to visit the Duke of Zhenguo today for personal reasons. He said that he admires Jiujiu and came here today. , it has something to do with Jiujiu." Although he knew that his sister and Han Yixiao were separated, he didn't want his sister to marry the second prince of Beiming Kingdom. It wasn't because Lu Yan was a bad person, but because Beiming Kingdom had left Huachen Kingdom too. She is far away. If she gets married, I'm afraid I won't see her more than once in my life, and my parents will probably be reluctant to part with her.
Hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo had not yet spoken! Mr. Yang was the first to speak: "Old man Mo, you must not marry Jiujiu to the second prince of Beiming Kingdom. If you marry Jiujiu to Beiming Kingdom, then the children Jiujiu will have in the future, let alone carry them, you will see It's even harder than the previous one, even harder than meeting the crown prince. It's absolutely not possible." He also thought that Jiujiu would get married as soon as possible and give birth to a child for Mo Changxiao to hold, so that he would not compete with him for Yunbo, but he didn't expect that someone would show up halfway. The second prince of Beiming Kingdom, isn't this a bad plan for him! She must not let Jiujiu marry her.
Lord Zhen Guo rolled his eyes and Master Yang sneered, "Jiujiu is my daughter, not your daughter. Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm nervous for you. A child as good as Jiujiu, with both civil and military skills and unparalleled talent and appearance, can't marry any kind of man! Why must he be sent to such a far away place? In fact, there are many good young people in the court. Minister! Just like Han Yixiao, General Han, didn’t he treat Jiujiu very well when Jiujiu was under his account? I think their two children are quite suitable."
"Come on! You don't know what Han Yixiao thinks about me. Why don't you send me to marry Jiujiu into a pit of fire? How can Mrs. Han like Jiujiu? You are the only one who can make bad ideas. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Zhen Guogong walked towards the front hall.
Mo Chengxuan wanted to use the topic of his father-in-law to bring Han Yixiao and Jiujiu together in front of his father, but his father immediately rejected it, making him shake his head helplessly.
When Lu Yan saw Duke Zhen Guo, he first greeted him respectfully and said some polite words.
Duke Zhen Guo looked at the Lu Yan in front of him. He had nothing to say about his appearance, character, and accomplishments. He was really worthy of Jiujiu. However, when he thought that he was far away in Beiming Country, he still shook his head. He really couldn't bear to part with his daughter. Marry so far away.
After some small talk, Lu Yan went straight to the topic and explained his purpose of coming today, which was that he wanted to meet Miss Mo. He also expressed his admiration for Mo Jiujiu and begged Duke Zhen to grant her permission.
Duke Zhen Guo's words were very tactful. Marriage is a major matter and the child's choice should be respected. If Jiujiu really likes the second prince and is willing to marry him, their parents will never stop him. But if Jiujiu doesn't like the second prince, I hope the second prince will not be angry.
After the marriage experience of his two children, Mo Chengxuan and Mo Qiqi, Zhen Guogong now has a more open mind about his children's marriage. Sometimes what parents think is good may not be really good. Back then, they were so optimistic about the Seven Sage Kings and Qiqi. It turns out that the Seven Wise Kings have been taking advantage of Qiqi. Although they also love Qiqi very much, that love is mixed with too many conspiracies and calculations, so it is not pure. And Qiqi insisted on choosing to marry the emperor, but her She made the right choice and she is really happy now.
When his son wanted to marry Shihan, he refused and was very angry, but what happened! Chengxuan and Shihan are very loving and happy, so it’s better to let them make their own decisions regarding emotional matters. I believe that their own choices will not be wrong. Therefore, when faced with Mo Jiujiu’s marriage, Zhen Guogong chose to take a more relaxed approach. , let her choose.
After hearing what the Duke of Zhen said, the second prince was very moved: "The Duke of Zhen really understands the righteousness. Don't worry, Duke of Zhen, I will definitely impress Miss Mo with my sincerity."
So Duke Zhenguo called Mo Jiujiu.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw Mo Jiujiu dressed in women's clothing. When he saw her on the battlefield, he knew she was beautiful. However, she was wearing armor and sitting on a war horse, and her figure was hidden. Now, she has put on women's clothing, and her slender figure can be seen at a glance. Coupled with her beautiful face, she is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. It seems that her choice is right. She is really charming. The kind of girl I like.
Facing Lu Yan's gaze, Mo Jiujiu coughed slightly in embarrassment.
Lu Yan looked away in embarrassment. In fact, there were many beauties around him, but there were none who could make him fall in love. Mo Jiujiu was the first one, and I believe she is the only one. If he is lucky enough to marry her, he will be happy in this life. I will definitely try my best to be good to her and give her my only love.
Now I finally understand why the emperor of Huachen Kingdom was able to destroy three thousand beauties in the harem for his queen. It turns out that when you really fall in love with someone, you will do this for her willingly. If you marry her, In the future, he will also abolish the harem for her. No, she is enough for him, and there will be no harem at all.
Mo Jiujiu smiled politely.
Lu Yan immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Third Miss, we meet again. The first time we met was on the battlefield. We were still enemies at that time. Now that the two countries are friendly, we can finally meet Third Miss openly."
Mo Jiujiu smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said, "Welcome the Second Prince to visit Huachen Kingdom."
Lu Yan made no secret of his love for Mo Jiujiu. He looked at her with eyes full of admiration and said bluntly: "I came to Huachen Kingdom this time not only for the friendship between the two countries, but also for the third lady." , that day on the battlefield, I had a sudden glance and fell in love with the third lady. I am lucky to be able to see the third lady again. I wonder if the third lady has an engagement or someone she likes. If not, can you give me another chance? "Lu Yan put down his body and pursued Mo Jiujiu with full sincerity.
It's not that Mo Jiujiu couldn't see the love for her in his eyes, but she only had Han Yixiao in her heart, and it was impossible to accept anyone else. She was about to speak.
But Duke Zhen Guo took the lead and said: "Second prince, my daughter has not made an engagement yet, and she has no one she likes. If the second prince really likes our family Jiujiu, he can try to get along with Jiujiu for some time. If they have the same temperament, , I'm not in a hurry to talk about marriage." In fact, the Duke of Zheng likes this Lu Yan very much. He is modest and polite, has a dignified appearance, and has a straightforward and sincere temperament. He is a good child. The only shortcoming is that it is too far away from Kyoto, but If Jiujiu likes her, he will reluctantly give up her love for Jiujiu's happiness.
After hearing what his father said, Mo Jiujiu looked at his father with some complaints, but he couldn't tell his father about his love for Han Yixiao, so he could only shake his head helplessly in his heart.
Why can the two countries turn enemies into friends, allowing Lu Yan to come to the Zhenguo Palace to pursue him openly, but the two families cannot do this. Mingming and Lu Yan were enemies on the battlefield before, but in the blink of an eye, he can come. Pursue yourself.
But he and Han Yixiao had to separate because of the resentment between the two countries. Thinking of Han Yixiao, my heart ached for no reason.
Lu Yan was very happy after hearing what Duke Zhen Guo said. He looked at Mo Jiujiu and said, "Miss Third, I will definitely impress you with my sincerity."
Mo Jiujiu glanced at him and said nothing.
Lu Yan suddenly suggested: "Third Miss, I am new to Huachen Country and I am very curious about the customs and customs of Huachen Country. I wonder if Third Miss can accompany me to walk around the streets."
"This-" Mo Jiujiu wanted to refuse.
But the Duke of Zhenguo said: "Jiujiu, let's go out with the second prince for a walk and show your friendship as a landlord."
Mo Jiujiu really wanted to refuse, because she didn't want to go out or go to the streets. She used to like the excitement, but now she just wanted to be alone. The lively environment would make her feel out of place and want to escape.
But since her father said this, if she refused, it would not only make her father lose face, but also make Lu Yan lose face. In desperation, she could only nod.
Lu Yan was very happy to see it.
So he and Mo Jiujiu went to the street together. Lu Yan was very curious about everything he saw while walking on the street. When he walked to a jade shop, he insisted on buying a gift for Mo Jiujiu. Mo Jiujiu declined repeatedly, but Lu Yan bought it anyway. He had no choice but to accept it, but he didn't want to owe him a favor, so he said he would treat him to dinner later as a return gift.
Lu Yan naturally agreed happily. As long as he could spend more time with Mo Jiujiu, he would be happy.
Mo Jiujiu was walking in the busy streets, but his heart was empty. Han Yixiao's voice and appearance would flash before his eyes.
Lu Yan is very handsome, and Mo Qiqi is very beautiful. When the two of them walk together, people can't help but look back and look at them more, praising them for being a perfect match.
Seeing that Mo Jiujiu was in a low mood, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Miss Third, are you in a bad mood today?"
Mo Jiujiu was brought back from his wandering thoughts, looked at Lu Yan, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, second prince, I affected your interest in shopping."
Lu Yan immediately shook his head: "No, no, it's an honor for me to go shopping with Third Miss. Third Miss, you and I have gotten to know each other, at least we should be friends now! So you don't need to call me Second Prince, you will think It’s quite unfamiliar, so just call me Lu Yan! Can I call you Jiujiu?”
Mo Jiujiu was not the kind of person to be coy, nor did he care about some false courtesy. He nodded and said, "Of course."
Lu Yan was in a good mood and couldn't help but call out: "Jiujiu-"
Mo Jiujiu smiled and replied, "Lu Yan."
Lu Yan raised the corners of his lips happily, looked at Mo Jiujiu and said, "Since Jiujiu is not in the mood to go shopping, let's go eat! After shopping for so long, I'm really hungry. I heard that Kyoto has a lot of delicious food. I When I first came to Kyoto, I didn’t know what to eat. I was really afraid of making a joke. I just saw something very beautiful and thought it was funny! But the boss said it was something to eat, which made me very embarrassed. So watch I don’t dare to say anything anymore, Jiujiu said that I’m going to host something today, and I’ll be treated to the best food in Kyoto. If Jiujiu doesn’t take me there, I’m afraid I’ll make a fool of myself again.”
Listening to Lu Yan's relaxed and joking words, Mo Jiujiu smiled knowingly, nodded generously and said, "Okay, today I'll treat you to the best restaurant in Kyoto to eat delicious food."
"Great, Jiujiu is treating me to a treat, I'll pay the bill." Lu Yan said, patting his chest.
Mo Jiujiu was amused by his words: "How can you ask me to treat you when you pay the bill? Are you still afraid that our town government can't afford to treat you to dinner?"
"Of course not."
"Since it's not the case, then let me treat you! You just gave me a hosta, and I treat you to dinner. This is called reciprocity, the etiquette of Huachen Kingdom." I really don't want to owe Lu Yan a favor.
After hearing Mo Jiujiu's words, Lu Yan had a look of realization: "Oh! So that's it, then I'm not polite." Mo Jiujiu divided him so clearly, he was actually a little disappointed, but since She insisted on doing so, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only pretend that it was etiquette.
"Please!" Mo Jiujiu and Lu Yan walked towards the restaurant together.
And this scene happened to fall in Han Yixiao's eyes.
