Xu Jing was ridiculed inexplicably by Han Sa, which made her originally cheerful mood a little depressed.
It was obvious that he had won the bet, but Han Sa was so happy that he acted as if he was the loser.
He glanced at Xiao Mubai and saw that the servants in the mansion had already served dinner one after another.
Xiao Mubai had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating. His face didn't look depressed at all, but he had a good appetite.
Some of the dishes that can still be seen are mixed with some to taste.
Xu Jing finally began to doubt his own knowledge. It seemed that the young master was indeed not in love with the princess.
Otherwise, you should be unable to eat anything.
However, Xiao Mubai seemed to have a good appetite.
It's just that the things on the plate are regarded as annoying Yue Fengwan.
Then he swallowed them all in one bite.
Although he knew it was just a show, his heart was still filled with panic.
Xia Chu had already made an agreement with him. After the wedding today, during the banquet in the evening, she would find an opportunity to trick Yue Fengwan into saying something.
She promised Xiao Mubai that no matter whether she got the information she wanted tonight or not, she would resign to Prince Liang in front of everyone before the banquet ended.
In the name of marrying to the Western Regions next year, I invited myself to Fushui Temple to pray for my father, queen and mother for a year.
Xiao Mubai didn't worry about anything else. The only thing he was worried about was that he was afraid that Xia Chu would be greedy.
Although his own drinking capacity...
Well, not so good.
But fortunately, he is self-aware and never drinks alcohol outside.
It's different in the beginning of summer. I have a bad drinking ability but also like to drink.
It really made him feel a little worried.
Xiao Mubai raised his head and looked at the night sky. It was almost time.
At this time, maybe the words have been put into words...
But in fact, Xia Chu, who was at the banquet in the palace, had not yet spoken to the regent.
Xiao Mubai sat leisurely in the pavilion all day today, stealing a free day from Fusheng.
But she was serious about being tired from morning till night.
Although it was just an engagement, the regulations were still in place.
Moreover, Duan Qian Guanshi's raid failed since that day.
Naturally, the hunting was abandoned, and King Hu learned that the engagement day of the Prince Regent and Princess Su Ran would be in three days.
To express his apology, he brought Hu Zhijing to Tianlu City to watch the ceremony.
As for Hu Zongming, he was naturally a little depressed after learning that Princess Su Ran was about to get engaged.
Coupled with the more than 80,000 remaining troops in Duan Qian Guanshi, there is always a need for someone to stay and garrison.
He asked for orders on his own and stayed to guard the camp, so as not to come to Tianlu City and be hurt when he met his sweetheart and agreed to someone else.
As for Hu Zhijing's marriage, after private discussions between King Hu and King Liang, they had already chosen a husband for her and betrothed her to the seventh prince Liang Shaoxuan.
After King Hu and others return to the country, they will also start Hu Zhijing's wedding, and Liang Shaoxuan will also go to the country of Hu with the bride price to welcome her.
Although Hu Zhijing made a big fuss after learning about this and even ran to Xiao Mubai's tent.
He happened to bump into Xia Chu who was asking Xiao Mubai what the seventh prince's character was like.
Han Sa and Xu Jing followed in with embarrassed expressions. It wasn't that they couldn't stop Hu Zhijing.
It's just that they couldn't reach out. Hu Zhijing kept saying "indecent" words, which made the two of them turn red with shame.
"You two, go down." Xiao Mubai ordered them.
The two of them were relieved, hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"Why are you here?" Hu Zhijing glanced at Xia Chu suspiciously.
Before Xia Chu could answer, Hu Zhijing added: "It's just right for you to be here. I want to elope with Mr. Qiao. Please help me think of a way."
Hu Zhijing walked up to Xia Chu and tugged on her sleeves. She didn't dare to look up at Xiao Mubai and glanced at him secretly from the corner of her eye.
Xia Chu looked at the shy Hu Zhijing, and the veins on his forehead jumped. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Mubai playfully, with a sneer on his lips.
Xiao Mubai shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Xia Chu raised her head to him with a gesture in her eyes and pointed at Hu Zhijing with her chin, who was still arranging her sleeves, and asked him to deal with it quickly.
Xiao Mubai pinched his brows and had no choice but to say to Hu Zhijing: "Princess Zhijing, didn't I tell you that I already have a sweetheart?"
When Xiao Mubai mentioned the words 'sweetheart', his eyes looked towards Xia Chu with deep affection.
Xia Chu looked awkward, and then pinched his eyebrows.
Hu Zhijing suddenly looked up at Xiao Mubai and asked, "Am I not as good as her?"
Xiao Mubai's face became solemn and he replied in a serious tone: "The princess is very good. My sweetheart is not as cute, passionate, and unrestrained as the princess..."
As Hu Zhijing showed a smile, Xia Chu's complexion darkened, and the fists in his hands were clenched.
Xiao Mubai met Xia Chu's slightly angry gaze with a gentle smile on his lips.
Looking directly into her eyes, he said with a warm and intoxicating voice: "But there are stars and seas in her eyes, and all the stars are crushed in them, which is better than all the spring flowers and autumn moons I have seen."
No matter how stupid Hu Zhijing was, when he saw Xiao Mubai's affectionate eyes looking past her and looking at Xia Chu without blinking, he knew that the person he admired was actually as Liang Shaoguang said. Princess So Ran next to her.
Xia Chu's cheeks flushed with pink. Although her heart felt sweet, she never thought that she would ask Xiao Mubai to deal with Hu Zhijing.
And Xiao Mubai actually used such a direct method, without caring at all whether it would break the girl's heart.
Xia Chu looked at Hu Zhijing with some embarrassment, but saw her looking at the two of them back and forth with an expression of disbelief.
Finally, Hu Zhijing pointed at Xia Chu and asked Xiao Mubai: "Do you know that she will marry the regent in three days? Your sincerity is destined to be in vain."
Xiao Mubai didn't take it seriously at all, and never looked at Hu Zhijing. He still looked at Xia Chu with spring water in his eyes. He opened his thin lips and said word by word: "Even if it is in vain, we must let this futility happen."
Hu Zhijing was completely stunned by Xiao Mubai's words.
She glanced at Xia Chu with envy and burst into tears.
Xia Chu couldn't bear it, so he reached out to try to wipe away the hot tears on her face, then pulled her into his arms to comfort her, patted her back and said to her: "I was just asking him, what is the seventh prince's character? If not Well, we won’t get married.”
Xiao Mubai saw Xia Chu's slight hint of blame, sighed, and said to Hu Zhijing: "Princess, I can do whatever I want, but you can't. You are responsible for the marriage between the two countries. No matter what happens to the seventh prince, With his appearance and character, he is the most suitable candidate I have chosen for you."
Hu Zhijing sobbed in Xia Chu's arms for a moment, and both of them thought it was difficult for her to accept it.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly raised her head, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said something to the two of them.
"Since you two are in love, let me help you elope."
