"Mu Bai, did the young marquis really make His Majesty the Fourth Prince lose face in front of everyone during the family banquet?"
In Prince Mo's Mansion, Xu Wenlan ran over and asked Xiao Mubai excitedly.
"Your news is pretty quick."
Xiao Mubai glanced at him.
"Oh, it's not too soon. Early in the morning, all civil and military officials will probably know about His Highness the Fourth Prince's hot face and cold butt."
Xu Wenlan pressed down the book in Xiao Mubai's hand and pretended that if you don't tell me, you won't even want to read the book.
"Don't you know this very clearly?"
Xu Wenlan looked solemn.
"His Royal Highness King Mo!"
Xiao Mubai put down the book in his hand and looked up at him.
"Tsk, tsk, for such a wonderful show, you have to explain the details to me."
Xu Wenlan's solemn face couldn't hold back in less than three seconds.
Xiao Mubai was afraid that he would get entangled, so he gave a brief summary. Xu Wenlan listened with great interest and worked tirelessly.
After lingering for a long time, Xu Wenlan suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "That's wrong."
Xiao Mubai frowned.
"Do you still remember that night when you asked me who the young master belonged to?" Xu Wenlan asked without waiting for Xiao Mubai to speak.
"Xia Chu, the legitimate son of Xiahou Mansion."
Xiao Mubai looked like he had known it for a long time.
"Yes, after you asked me that night, I went to check it out the next day when I had nothing to do. There is one more thing you definitely don't know."
Xu Wenlan waited patiently for Xiao Mubai to ask, but when he saw that he ignored her, she was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks and couldn't help but say it herself.
"The Fourth Highness and Xia Chu have met before. Just last month on Lord Xia Hou's birthday, the Fourth Highness went to celebrate his birthday on behalf of the Emperor. I heard that the young Lord had just returned home that day, and the two happened to bump into each other. The young Marquis also showed that he really likes His Highness the Fourth Highness. Why did the young Marquis fall out after only one month? Didn't they enjoy each other very happily when they first met?"
Xiao Mubai sneered.
"You really like His Highness the Fourth Prince? That's really true."
"Well, don't believe it. This is true. My father told me personally. My father also went to the birthday party that day." Xu Wenlan said anxiously.
"I can tell you with certainty that he definitely doesn't like Xiao Yanjun. And he hates him very much."
This is really weird, Xu Wenlan murmured to himself. Suddenly, he slapped the table again and shouted: "That's right!"
Xiao Mubai glanced at Xu Wenlan with a sharp look.
"If you keep talking like this, I will throw you out."
Xu Wenlan smiled bitterly and asked softly: "I heard that the Ninth Princess has fallen in love with the young Marquis?"
Xiao Mubai nodded.
"Mu Hong likes him very much."
"What about him?"
Xu Wenlan looked curious.
Xiao Mubai thought for a moment.
"He also likes Mu Hong."
"Then, didn't I hear that the young Marquis refused the marriage offer?"
Xu Wenlan opened his mouth wide.
"The love I'm talking about is not the love between a man and a woman." Xiao Mubai put his forehead on his head and recalled the look in Xia Chu's eyes at Mu Hong and said, "It's like the elder loves the younger."
"Xiao Mubai, I'm afraid you're not trying to trick me. The young Marquis is only one year older than the Ninth Princess, so you told me that elders love juniors?" Xu Wenlan took two steps back and pointed at Xiao Mubai with an expression of disbelief. .
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly.
"When has this king ever tricked you?"
Xu Wenlan nodded subconsciously, looking at Xiao Mubai's serious expression, and gradually accepted this fact. After he regained his composure, he sighed to Xiao Mubai: "This young prince is not simple..."
Xiao Mubai rarely agreed with him and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Xu Wenlan became even more excited.
"You see, among all the princes in our Xiao Kingdom, you are the only one who was granted the title of king not long after you were born. This little marquis even more so attacked the marquis just after he was born. In our Xiao Kingdom, we have always had to wait for the death of the late marquis. As for the one who takes the throne, he is better. See if you two are on par."
Xiao Mubai ignored him this time, picked up the book and continued reading.
There was a 'pop', and another sound of slamming on the table was heard.
The veins on Xiao Mubai's forehead popped out faintly, and Xu Wenlan reacted. He raised his hands above his head and begged for mercy: "No, don't be angry. I just remembered again, what happened to the young Marquis and His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
After hearing this question, Xiao Mubai's anger disappeared.
Seeing him deep in thought, Xu Wenlan asked with a shy face: "You feel strange too, don't you?"
Xiao Mubai frowned slightly.
Xu Wenlan smiled happily when she saw Xiao Mubai frowning.
"Oh, this little Marquis is really an extraordinary person. Everything happened overnight was shocking. I really want to meet him."
"You can't see him."
"Why? I am the legitimate son of the Minister of Household Affairs. I respectfully submit a post to the Marquis Mansion and still get rejected. Besides, if I don't hit the smiling person, I just pay him a visit." Xu Wenlan said with a smile.
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly.
"Xiao Yanjun's smile is much more beautiful than yours."
When Xu Wenlan heard this, his smile froze and his face turned pale.
After a while, Xu Wenlan rubbed his neck.
"I want to go take a look. Maybe the young Marquis likes me. Doesn't he like His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
"That's right, with Xiao Yanjun taking care of things for you, your face won't suffer." Xiao Mubai said sarcastically.
Xu Wenlan was not annoyed. He flicked his sleeves and went immediately...
