Chapter 403: Coming Back Too Late
Bai Mujin walked for a while, and saw that the two girls were silent like this, and the excitement when they came when they were gone, so they asked, "Scared?"
"Big sister, why do the second sister and the second brother want to harm you like this?" Yan Ran asked timidly, she had been by her side, and she saw the whole process very clearly, although she didn't see Bai Gaoxuan make a move, but she also knew that it wasn't Bai Mujian who did it.
Bai Mujin smiled, patted Yanran's little face that was still a little baby fat, and said: "When you grow up a little more, you will understand that not everyone can get along in harmony, but between you sisters and brothers, you still have to support each other, and Xi'er and Xuan'er and I are not good examples for you!"
Yan Ran pursed her lips and asked a little incomprehensibly, "But...... They seem to hate you, and the big sister hates them too?"
"I hated, but now I don't care if I hate it or not, some things, once they start, can only end until one side falls!" Bai Mu Hibiscus muttered.
Wei Ran asked a little naively: "Then why can't we get along well, although we are not so close to our younger siblings, we will still play together!"
"That's because you have a good mother, and your father and mother taught her well!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said with a smile, if her mother did not die, if her father could be a little fairer, how could it become today's situation?
Lu Feiyuan saw that Bai Mujin was unwilling to continue this topic, so she hurriedly came over and diverted the topic and said, "Yanran, Weiran, look at the dragon lantern in front, is it beautiful? Let's go over and see together, okay?"
After all, the two girls were still innocent, and they quickly put what had just happened behind them, and pulled Lu Feiyuan and ran to the dragon lantern. Bai Hibiscus followed quietly behind him, with a calm smile on his face.
Zeng Mingxi didn't know when she appeared by her side, Bai Mujian turned her head, showed a friendly smile to him, and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Zeng Mingxi nodded and said, "I went to the west and came back, it seems too late!"
Bai Mujin didn't understand his words, but said with a smile: "It's just autumn, it's not too late, is Zeng Gongzi also coming back for the Shilin Banquet?"
"It's not that that important, it's the ...... The person I want seems to have gone far away, so far that I can't reach it anymore, isn't it?" Zeng Mingxi's smile seemed a little sad.
Bai Mujin suddenly remembered that on the drum tower, his confession to himself, his heart was slightly strange, and he wanted to explain something, but found that there was no need to explain, and her heart, unconsciously, had been filled by another person.
The appearance of that person even reminded her of the pain of her previous life, it was not so painful, if she could still accept anyone, it was only that one, it was not that others were bad, but ...... He's the best!
Bai Hibiscus's silence extinguished Zeng Mingxi's last trace of expectation, and he suddenly grabbed Bai Hibiscus and jumped onto the roof of Xuanwang's Mansion with her.
After Bai Mujian landed, he looked at him in surprise, but Zeng Mingxi said: "I just want to stay with you for a while one last time, maybe I can only take advantage of the opportunity that he is helping you deal with the aftermath!"
Bai Mujin was a little overwhelmed, and finally said, "I'm sorry, I ......"
"There seems to be no need to say sorry, I know that he has always been by your side when you need it most, and this is probably where I lost the most, because I can't protect you as freely as he wants!" Zeng Mingxi said with a smile, looking at the sky, his eyes flashed with some sparkles.
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly and said, "Zeng Gongzi, actually...... You deserve better, I'm not what you see, it's much uglier than you think, but even if he sees through me at first sight, he never cares!"
Zeng Mingxi laughed at himself and said: "The first time he saw you, I also looked at you, and I don't care how much scheming you have and how many conspiracies you have played, I won't think it's ugly, I just feel distressed!"
This time, Bai Mujian was really surprised, and asked, "Could it be that my methods are clumsy, and I have not hidden my true nature at all?
"Hmm...... There are not many people who can see through you, but Feng Jiuqing is definitely not the only one, but he may be the first person to choose you, maybe because you are the same kind!" Zeng Mingxi was a little bit unauthentic.
Bai Mujin didn't speak, just smiled slightly, Zeng Mingxi looked at her for a long time, and said, "Girl, can you let me hug it?"
"It seems that it can't!" Suddenly a voice fell behind them, Zeng Mingxi turned his head with some annoyance, looked at the man who was smiling like a fox, and said unhappily: "You can't come later?"
"A little later, you will take advantage of my Mu Mu, how can this make Mu Mu come over, don't be deceived by this villain!" Feng Jiuqing stretched out her hand towards Bai Mu Hibiscus, wanting her to take the initiative to come over.
Zeng Mingxi stopped Bai Mujian and confronted Feng Jiuqing: "When did it happen, has His Royal Highness King Xuan officially proposed marriage?"
"Well, it seems that the holy decree is still a little late, Zeng Dashao still seems to be unwilling to give up, Mu Mu, you tell him, are you from my family!" Feng Jiuqing said with a puffed up look, like a child competing for favor with his peers.
Bai Muhibiscus spread his hands helplessly, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan, the holy decree has not been issued for a day, and this palace has nothing to do with you, and there are ...... I hope that before the holy decree comes down, the Queen Mother will not marry you first, I heard that the Lord of Jinse has been waiting for the prince for many years!"
Zeng Mingxi finally seized the opportunity to tease Feng Jiuqing and said, "Did you hear that?" county lord, you have to know...... The county lord of Jinse is the princess Xuan that the queen mother has always wanted, so she is waiting to find an appropriate time to give her marriage!"
"Young Master Zeng, this king thinks that your words are too much, do you want to stay in the west all the time, I heard that the soldiers over there are lonely, you talk so much, you can probably go and relieve their boredom!" Feng Jiuqing said with a threatening tone.
Zeng Mingxi had a bitter face and said aggrievedly: "County Lord, the prince threatened me, in such a bitter place in the west, he actually wanted to throw me over!"
Bai Mujian was amused by Zeng Mingxi's appearance, but he didn't say anything, Feng Jiuqing snorted and said, "When did you learn this trick?
"Yes, I'm here to tell the county lord that if one day she regrets her decision, my Zeng Mingxi's arms have always been open for her, the county lord, you have to remember!" After speaking, no matter how annoyed Feng Jiuqing was, he just stepped lightly and took off.
Feng Jiuqing awkwardly pulled Bai Mu Hibiscus over, let her fall into her arms, and said, "How can you have a private meeting with other men? I'll be angry!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at him funny and said, "Is it? What should we do about the matter of the county lord of Jinse? Feng Ziling is here to make trouble with me for her, and they are swearing ownership, right?"
Feng Jiuqing immediately said: "How can there be such a thing? How can you listen to her nonsense, this king only has Mu Mu in his heart, and only one person is enough in this life!"
Bai Hibiscus's heart shook for no reason, she never seemed to have considered this, the meaning of "only one person" was that he was telling himself that he would only have one woman in this life?
Bai Mujian looked at Feng Jiuqing in surprise and asked, "Doesn't the prince consider asking for a side concubine, a concubine or something?"
Feng Jiuqing frowned and said, "Are you looking forward to this king finding another woman?" Mu Mu ...... You are so virtuous, shouldn't this king be happy?"
Bai Hibiscus looked at him with a gloomy face, as if he would strangle himself as soon as she nodded yes. Only then did he suddenly smile and asked: "Isn't it common for men to have three wives and four concubines?
"You...... Who allowed you to think like this? If this king wants three wives and four concubines, why wait until now...... I'm only looking for one person in my life, if I hadn't met you, I'd rather never marry for the rest of my life!" Feng Jiuqing grabbed Bai Mujian's shoulder, and her strength almost made her bones hurt.
Bai Muhibiscus suddenly recalled that in her previous life, until her death, this powerful Nine Emperor Uncle did not marry a wife, let alone take a concubine. She suddenly felt ridiculous, as if she had died and been reborn just to be met by him and complete his life.
But when she heard such an answer, her heart was still full, as if something would overflow, and the warm current rippled in her heart, and she even felt that her eyes, which had been dry for a long time, had a moist mist.
Feng Jiuqing looked at Bai Mu Hibiscus and said, "You are here for me, and I am also waiting for you, from the first time I saw you, I seemed to have such a feeling, this is a very mysterious feeling, Mu Mu ...... I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated, this is my wish that has never changed!"
Bai Hibiscus only felt a tear slip down from the corner of her eye, so hot that she was about to wipe it off subconsciously, but the man took a step faster and gently kissed away the tear on her face.
The lights are shining, and the night has just begun.
Zeng Mingxi was in the distance, whispering to himself: "It's okay, at least I can rest assured!"
"Brother Mingxi, what are you doing so sadly, brother will have a drink with you, how about it?" Lu Qingyun got two pots of wine out of nowhere and handed them to Zeng Mingxi.
Zeng Mingxi laughed at himself, took the wine, and said: "You still say cool things, if you didn't help Feng Jiuqing, maybe you would have accompanied him to drink here today!"
"It has nothing to do with me, that's Jin'er's own choice!" Lu Qingyun did not hesitate to hit Zeng Mingxi at all.
Zeng Mingxi took a big sip of wine and said, "Can't you lie to me and say that I just lack a little luck?"
Lu Qingyun laughed and said: "There is such a thing as feelings, how can there be any luck or unluck, you can admit it, but there are not many women as good as my cousin, if you fall in love with her, there will not be many people who can fall in love with her in the future!"
Zeng Mingxi sighed: "Maybe one day she abandons Feng Jiuqing and leaves, I still have a chance!"
"Well, I heard that the holy decree is about to be issued soon, and he has asked for the will to marry, what else can you do? Don't fantasize, drink a bar!" Lu Qingyun smiled and touched the wine jug with him.
