Chapter 413: Deliberately embarrassed
"What's wrong?"
Mo Yichen looked at Mu Xiyue's face with a somewhat deep expression, the corners of her lips stiffened, and she pulled her over with both hands.
The voice in her ears made Mu Xiyue instantly retract her thoughts, and looked up at Mo Yijian's gaze, the expression on her face lightened slightly.
"Nothing, just thinking of something!" Mu Xiyue said as she spoke, with a solemn expression on her face: "No matter what happened to you and Princess Jinxiu before, and no matter what happens in the future, you, don't lie to me!" ”
After experiencing the betrayal of her previous life, Mu Xiyue has a sense of crisis that she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, although she knew very well that Mo Yichen was not that kind of person, but sometimes there was a threshold in her heart that she couldn't pass, and this kind of thing was not so easy to control.
Looking at Mu Xiyue's warning look, Mo Yichen couldn't help but snort: "How dare I lie to you?" With your eyes, even if they lie to you, you can see through it at a glance, and besides, what if you annoy me and don't want me? ”
Mu Xiyue's face was stunned, she looked up at Mo Yichen's aggrieved appearance, and the corners of her lips couldn't help twitching, this person was still coquettish, it really shocked people's jaws!
"Anyway, so many people like you, are you still afraid that no one will want you?"
Deliberately disgusting him with words, Mu Xiyue looked at the expression on his face when he became cold because of his words, she stood up unexpectedly and quickly imprinted a kiss on his face, looking at Mo Yijian's stunned face, she smug the corners of her lips, not only he would sneak attack.
Looking at Mu Xiyue proudly hooking the corners of her lips, Mo Yichen was a little helpless, reached out to hook her shoulders, and hugged her a little tighter, this girl, she didn't know what ecstasy soup she poured into herself, and she couldn't put her down like this.
The two of them sat leaning on each other like this, and they could feel each other's presence without talking, which made people feel at ease.
Mu Xiyue didn't ask Mo Yichen about her previous tasks, now that she is back, she is already satisfied, as for other things, Mu Xiyue can't do anything, and she doesn't need to worry about it.
Leaning on each other together, the breeze blowing, tranquil and calm, the original irritable mood also calmed down, but today is the prince's birthday banquet, such a calm moment, you can't enjoy it too much, it's almost time, it's time to go back.
Mu Xiyue and Mo Yichen returned to the back courtyard together, and when everyone saw Mo Yichen, their faces couldn't help but change slightly, especially the people who had never seen him just now, when they saw Mo Yichen holding Mu Xiyue's hand, their faces couldn't help but change a little more.
People who secretly love Mo Yijian, looking at the hands of the two of them together, they feel a dazzling body, and the people who are close to Mu Xiyue are relieved, looking at the current situation of the two, there should be no awkwardness, thinking like this, my heart can't help but be calm, and there are even more people who look at it regardless of their position, and they secretly have their own thoughts in their hearts, but they are very well hidden, in short, no one is unchangeable.
Princess Jinxiu's face sank, the corner of her lips bit her lower lip for a moment, and then she let go and walked towards Mu Xiyue, with a little apology on her face.
"Did you misunderstand something just now and get angry with me?"
While talking, Princess Jinxiu's eyes swept over Mu Xiyue Lianshan, and her expression changed slightly, with a little exploration in her eyes.
Mu Xiyue's face was stunned, she looked up at the self-blame on Princess Jinxiu's face, her heart sank, but her eyes were still as flat as just now, she shook her head, and spit out two words in her voice softly.
"Nope!"
This kind of answer made the tension on Princess Jinxiu's face even thicker, she had been secretly thinking about how to explain it just now, but now she was in a hurry, so she grabbed Mu Xiyue's arm: "I accompanied the trace to look for you just now, don't get me wrong!" ”
Mu Xiyue's heart sank, looking up at Princess Jinxiu's nervous face and almost crying, Mu Xiyue couldn't help but want to laugh, if she really didn't have any other thoughts, why did she drag the basin and splash water on herself like this?
What's more, now that I and Mo Yichen are here, it's obviously not the atmosphere just now, doesn't too much explanation seem redundant?
"Don't think too much about it, Princess Fairlight, I naturally believe in you."
I believe that Mo Yichen is certain, but you are not necessarily.
Of course, the latter sentence was said by Mu Xiyue in her heart, she didn't say it, and she couldn't say it, after all, Princess Splendid didn't come up to find fault like Li Aijia and Wen Ruoxin just now, just because of the relationship between her and Mo Yichen before, she was depressed, not to mention, people really didn't do anything.
"It's great that you can believe it!"
Princess Jinxiu seemed to be relieved to look at Mu Xiyue, with a bit of relaxation in her voice, and just as she was about to speak, the duck voice of the steward and eunuch sounded in her ears, and she immediately closed her mouth.
When the guests arrived, the time was almost up, and everyone moved to the inner hall, and the prince's birthday banquet was considered to have begun.
The cumbersome procedures made people feel irritable, Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyue and Situ Muxue followed the instructions of the ceremonial officer in front of them together, although they were a little irritable in their hearts, they still remained calm and indifferent on their faces, and occasionally looked at Mu Xiyan, and saw that she was also trying her best to endure it, and her heart was a little more steady.
A singing "Libi" sounded in her ears, Mu Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then, the instruments in the hands of the vocal band moved, singing and dancing, and there was a lively scene in an instant.
Everyone offered the gifts they had prepared, and some thoughtful daughters of the wealthy family also seemed to be in order to show their admiration for the prince, and at the same time as the birthday gift, they also had to perform their own carefully prepared programs, hoping to get into the eyes of the prince with this opportunity.
However, there are not one or two people who have such thoughts, and the shows are one after another, which makes the songs and dances originally prepared for this birthday ceremony a little redundant, after all, these beautifully dressed daughters are more eye-catching than dancers.
The prince didn't refuse, he followed someone to offer gifts, one cup of sake after another, looking at the beauty's talent display, but his eyes glanced towards Mu Xiyue intentionally or unintentionally.
Mo Yichen, regardless of his identity or status, is sitting in the position of a guest, and he is not very far from the prince, so he can naturally see the prince's gaze, looking at his gaze from time to time towards Mu Xiyue, his face can't help but sink, and he whispered twice to the steward eunuch beside him.
In a moment, Mo Yijian's figure appeared next to the General's Mansion, just stopping the prince's gaze, and at the same time stretched out the wine glass in his hand and raised it towards the prince, it seemed that he didn't notice the true direction of the prince's gaze, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
In the direction of the prince, Mu Xiyue's figure was just blocked by the prince, and the expression in his eyes sank, looking at Mo Yichen hooking the corners of his lips and raising the cup in his hand towards him, the corners of his lips couldn't help twitching, and after a while, he still picked up the wine glass.
"How did you get here?"
Mu Xiyue was a little puzzled by the sudden appearance of Mo Yichen, although she also knew a lot about his character of not playing cards according to the rules, but now looking at the smile on the corner of his lips, she was still a little puzzled.
"Someone covets my princess, so I naturally have to block it!"
While speaking, Mo Yichen glanced in the direction of the prince, with a little evil smile between his eyes.
Mu Xiyue subconsciously looked towards the prince, who knew that her head had not had time to deviate, but she was blocked by Mo Yichen, her eyelids rolled, she turned her face to see that Princess Jinxiu happened to be looking here, and snorted angrily.
"Don't you have people who are worried about it, too? I can't stop other people's eyes, do I want to gouge out other people's eyes? ”
Mu Xiyue glanced at Mo Yichen, watched him hand over an orange petal that even the white line was peeled off like a treasure, reached out and took it and put it in his mouth, I don't know if it was because of the sweetness of the orange or the sweetness of my heart, in short, the corners of my lips were hooked.
Mo Yichen didn't answer, but reached out and picked up Mu Xiyue's favorite grapes, peeled them and handed them to her.
On the other side, Princess Jinxiu's hands were resting and clenching, and the sound of singing and dancing seemed to be automatically filtered, leaving only the two people talking and laughing, especially the satisfaction on Mo Yichen's face, which pierced her heart mercilessly, and there was no room for breathing on her face.
While speaking, it was time for the General's Mansion to present a gift, and the gift of the General's Mansion was naturally taken out by General Su, but compared to other high-ranking daughters, Mu Xiyue did not have any expression.
"Why, the two daughters of General Su's family have arrived today, and no one has prepared a show?"
The prince looked at the silence on General Su's side, reached out and drank the wine in his hand, the corners of his lips hooked, and his eyes fell on Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan's faces.
Mu Xiyue didn't want to show anything in front of everyone at all, so naturally she didn't prepare, not to mention, other people's preparations for the program were also their own careful thoughts, who knew that everyone tacitly prepared everything, this point, for Mu Xiyan, who rarely entered the palace, naturally would not have thought of it.
Therefore, the two sisters in the General's Mansion did not prepare any programs, not to mention, who said that they had to prepare programs after giving gifts?
The prince's eyes fell on Mu Xiyue's face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up, in fact, it was not intentionally difficult, but there was a faint feeling of indescribability in his heart, especially at this banquet specially prepared for himself, hoping to see something special about her.
General Su listened to the prince's words, his face couldn't help but be heavy, he turned to look at Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan, his heart sank again, it was obvious that their sisters were not prepared in any way, and their faces looked a little embarrassed.
Looking up, he happened to meet the prince's somewhat strange gaze, Mo Yichen's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, and he was about to block back for Mu Xiyue, but was stopped by her, and her crisp voice sounded in his ears.
"At the prince's birthday banquet, the courtiers want to show it, but they are not as talented as other young ladies, and now they can only dedicate an ugly painting to the prince."
In this case, Mu Xiyue has no room to refuse, and she can't refute offending everyone to excuse herself, after all, she doesn't want to offend the high-ranking daughters who have just performed at this birthday banquet, she just wants to spend the day peacefully.
"It's really hard for Miss Su to have such a heart for this palace!"
The prince listened to Mu Xiyue wanting to paint, the corners of his lips hooked up and a touch of pride raised to look at Mo Yichen, seeing that his face was gloomy, and the smile on his face became stronger.
Mu Xiyue raised her head and looked at the prince's gaze towards her, and a deep meaning flashed quickly in her eyes, flashing away, and even made people think that she had made a mistake.
