When Zige returned to the main hall, he happened to meet Mu Lixuan's resignation and leave the table, and Lu Junyi and a group of guests who threw pots got up to send each other off. Zige watched coldly as Ge Ji handed the wine to his lips with a glass of wine, smiling and persuading, while he stood by the door with his hands down, not wanting to talk to others anymore.

"If Prince Mu is free in the future, he must come to Fengtaifang to see Min'er." The singer half leaned in his arms, and the sun flew with a beautiful face, which was endearing.

Mu Lixuan bent his lips and smiled, and drank all the wine in the cup: "Thank you Miss Min'er for your kindness." ”

Lu Junyi had already seen Zige standing by the door with sharp eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his face. He deliberately coughed a few times and stopped the guests who still wanted to come forward to toast: "It's not too early today, the county lord is going back to the house with a bad heart, and the prince is like an arrow, so you might as well visit the door another day." ”

Mu Lixuan nodded at him, then turned around to attend, and walked straight out of the door, when he passed by Zige's side, he didn't look sideways, but said softly: "Tired, right?" Lian'er just came to say goodbye and go home, and Lord Liang sent her back first. ”

Zige followed him silently, without saying a word, she was originally angry in her heart and kept herself in the dark, only to see him and Min'er being intimate, and there was even more ignorance in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.

Mu Lixuan glanced at her, and didn't care about it, but slowed down slightly. The night breeze was cold, the moonlight was half bright and half ambiguous, and the shadows of the two overlapped on the bluestone pavement, and they were separated again.

When the servant took Mu Lixuan's horse out, Zige realized that Lian'er had returned to the house in the carriage first, leaving her alone and had to ride with Mu Lixuan. She stood awkwardly in the middle of the road, in a momentary dilemma. She usually doesn't want to get too close to Mu Lixuan, but today she is bored, and she doesn't want to be in the same room with him, let alone ride together.

Mu Lixuan quickly turned over and got on the horse, and when he turned around and saw that Zige had no intention of moving, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't talk to me, let's play a game." I'll guess what you're thinking, and if you do, you'll have to take a step toward me. ”

Seeing that Zige pursed his lips and was silent, Mu Lixuan went straight to himself: "You can see that the person who attacked Lian'er tonight is Jun Jun, and you also know that I arranged all this. ”

Zige snorted softly and took a step towards him.

"You know that most of the people who saved Lian'er when the sun set were not Liu Yuzhang, but probably Liang Zhongzhi." Mu Lixuan looked at Zige, saw her looking back at herself with an inquiring gaze, and added softly, "I once instructed the fishermen by the river to save a child who fell into the water, and Liang Zhongzhi watched from the sidelines. The method of slapping and forcing out the accumulated water in the abdomen is well known to everyone in Nanzhao Road. ”

Zige knew that he was right, so he reluctantly took another step.

"You speculate that Lian'er fell into the water because of someone with ulterior motives, not a slippery deck." After Mu Lixuan finished speaking, he nodded affirmatively, "I just talked to Liang Zhongzhi, and he hinted that there was indeed someone on the boat who wanted to be unfavorable to Lian'er, but he didn't see who did it, which is why he deliberately followed behind you two tonight." ”

Zige sighed and took another step, only one step away from Mu Lixuan. Mu Lixuan looked down at her and smiled, and said, "You are dressed very beautifully tonight, but I have been drinking and throwing pots with Min'er, are you unhappy?" “

When Zige heard this, her face turned red, and she was about to pull out her legs and leave, but Mu Lixuan suddenly stretched out his arm and steadily hugged her on the horse's back. She exclaimed, subconsciously grabbing the reins, but she was firmly encircled between his arms. His warm breath sprinkled between his neck, with a faint aroma of wine, mellow and pleasant.

"You're obviously playing tricks...... Zige whispered, straightening his back for a while, wanting to stay away from him. Mu Lixuan turned his face sideways and whispered in her ear: "Knowing that you are thin-skinned, I will answer for you." ”

"The dignified prince of Nanzhao, when you rob the people's girls on the street, you are not afraid that your reputation will be damaged?"

"Willing to gamble." Mu Lixuan gently spit out four words, but it made Zige stunned. This sentence has been said by her since she was a child, but she rarely loses, so there is no such thing as "admitting defeat". At this time, although she was still a little unconvinced in her heart, seeing that what he said was reasonable, she concentrated on galloping her horse and no longer being light, so she leaned on his arms peacefully.

The lanterns in the market are like daylight, reflecting Mu Lixuan's side face with sharp edges. Zige looked at him with his spare eyes, and finally couldn't help but say: "In Lian'er's lifelong events, we must be of one heart, and we all wish her to find a good husband and be happy and healthy all her life, why do you hide these things from me?" ”

"Your previous speculation is not unfounded, according to what you said, Liu Yuzhang does seem to be a person who will recklessly save people, and then avoid Lian'er." His voice sounded in his ears, "I'm not 100% sure of my thoughts, but I feel a little confused, so I let Jun Jun take a risk tonight." ”

"Liang Zhongzhi looks ...... is a more suitable choice than Liu Yuzhang. Zige lowered his head, pretending to play with the ornaments on the reins very seriously, and silently recalled the content of the Qingluan newspaper in his heart, "He is the Jinshi and the first in previous years, Ren Changping has been too shou for three years, he is innocent, and he has no party ......."

Mu Lixuan's tone was full of smiles: "You don't have a daughter's posture at all, but it seems like you are talking about politics in the court." ”

"He is naturally very good, and he is also very dedicated to serving his mother, and he is also quite attentive to Lian'er." Zige glanced at him with disgust, and continued, "If Lian'er knew that the person who rescued her that night was Liang Zhongzhi, she would definitely fall in love with him......"

"He just didn't want Lian'er to feel awkward in his heart, so he didn't tell her the truth." Mu Lixuan smiled, "Let's not talk about these for the time being, if there is no party support, he can only act on his own strength in the cultural and martial arts test, even if they are happy with each other, if they can't pass the checkpoint set by His Majesty, it will be in vain." ”

"So...... What do you mean? Zige asked softly.

"Wait and see what happens."

After a few moments, he replied.

Zige exhaled lightly, turned his head sideways, but saw a person standing under the locust tree on the side of the road, dressed in white, he looked up at the lonely moon in the clouds, and looked thoughtful. Beside him, there were two or three men dressed in the same clothes, who were happily picking out the four treasures of the study, and one of them looked back and called him.

"Yuanqing, Yuanqing, do you think this brush is good?"

Yuanqing ......

The corners of Zige's lips opened and closed, as if he wanted to call him loudly like when he was a child, watching a smile slowly rise in his eyes, but only for a moment, there was a long street of people between them, and the thin shadow was soon left behind by the galloping horse.
