Outside, the snow was as good as new, and the cold wind was still there.

But the room was extremely warm, and there was a burning stove in each of the four corners.

Mo Ziyu is painting, a landscape map, is the most famous scenery in the imperial capital of Northern Xia, that is her favorite place to go when she was a child, and I don't know if there will be a chance to see it again in the future.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest piece to be reviewed. The matchmaker hugged a stack of musicals, "The minister has already been classified, you see, just have a number in your heart." ”

"Okay, you put it down. Mo Ziyu kept his hand and said lightly.

"Also, the talents from all over the world who participated in the husband selection have arrived one after another, and they have been arranged to live in the post house. The matchmaker said, "But there are a few people who are not easy to arrange, and I still need to ask His Majesty what he means." ”

"What's wrong?" Mo Ziyu asked.

"There are the princes of Inurong and Nandi. The matchmaker said.

"Why are they here? Let them live separately from people from other countries, Inurong Nandi and the Central Plains have a deep grudge, if they live together, there will inevitably be conflicts. ”

The matchmaker hesitated for a moment, and then said: "According to the news from the front, the Emperor of Northern Xia and the Emperor of Southern Chu are also here, how should they arrange it?"

"What are they doing here?" Mo Ziyu's brows furrowed, "What else can I do, drive away!"

"Huh, let's go!" the matchmaker raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "This is not very good, right?"

Mo Ziyu sighed slightly: "It's the same as people from other countries, you can do it, you don't have to come and ask me, I am upset when I hear their news." ”

"Okay. The matchmaker shrugged helplessly, "The minister retired first and went down to make arrangements." ”

After the matchmaker left, Mo Ziyu came to the window, looked at the snow outside, and sighed deeply, I really don't know what they are doing to make a fuss, if there is a conflict, she will have a headache, since the two of them see each other unpleasantly, can't they not appear at the same time?

Three days later, the talents who participated in the selection of husbands came to Mulan one after another, and the people of Mulan naturally welcomed them, and they also knew that Mulan was now truly based on the Central Plains.

However, the minister in charge of reception at the gate of the city today encountered a headache, that is, the Emperor of Southern Chu and the Emperor of Northern Xia met, and he did not let anyone enter the city first.

No one dared to offend, and the two sides said good things, and the cold day was so anxious that he was sweating.

At this time, he finally gave Pan the help of his life, only to see Qi Qi hurrying over, and the minister hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation to him as if he was about to be amnesty.

"I see. Qi Qi said, "I'll take care of it, you can wait by the side." ”

"Yes. ”

Qi Qi slowly walked to the center of the city gate, bowed his hand and said, "I have seen the Emperor of Northern Xia, I have seen the Emperor of Southern Chu!"

At this time, Qi Zi opened the curtain, his eyes widened, revealing a sense of nobility and domineering, which was no longer the same as the little emperor back then, he smiled lightly, opened his lips and asked: "I have come all the way, why don't you let me in?"

At this time, Liu Xu also lifted the curtain of the car and asked with a smile: "Dongkaihou, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"Your Majesty is worried, and the ministers are all right. Qi Qi lowered his eyes and said.

"I also have something I want to say to you, it's inconvenient here, we can talk about it in detail after we enter the city!" Liu Xu said.

Qi Qi straightened his clothes unhurriedly, and said with a faint smile: "Three days ago, the foreign minister reported to Her Majesty the Queen that the Emperor of Southern Chu and the Emperor of Northern Xia were also on the way here, and asked Her Majesty how to arrange these two nobles. When the queen heard this, she only said two words. ”

He paused, raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Zi and Liu Xu, and then continued: "Take it away." ”

Hearing this, the faces of Qi Zi and Liu Xu changed at the same time.

Then, Qi Qi smiled again: "Of course, this is just Her Majesty's joke, the arrival of the two nobles, Mulan is naturally welcome." The gate of this city is too narrow to allow two carriages to enter at the same time, so how about daring to invite the two nobles to get off the carriage and enter the city together? The foreign minister has already prepared excellent wine and food at the foreign minister's house to catch the wind and wash the dust for the two nobles. ”

Liu Xu and Qi Zi glanced at each other, at this time Liu Xu got out of the carriage first, arched his hand towards Qi Qi, and said: "At the beginning, it was Dongkaihou who escorted supplies to Beixia, helped Beixia to survive the strange, and saved the lives of hundreds of people. ”

At this time, Mi Zi also got out of the car and said with a smile: "In this case, let's enter the city together, Dongkaihou has been here for a long time, and he must be familiar with Mulan, so you can introduce us to any customs!"

Then the three of them entered the city together, and the carriage followed them.

Qi Qi led the two back to their home, and entertained them with good wine and food.

Mi Zi and Liu Xu naturally have to get close to him, and they want to know what the inside story of this so-called "queen's husband selection" is, does she really want to choose a husband now?

It's just that Qi Qi's mouth is very strict, and the questions of the two were blocked back by him one by one, and he didn't get the information he wanted, so he returned to the post house to rest.

Mo Ziyu had been waiting in the palace for news from outside, and only after hearing that Qi Qi had resolved the conflict between Southern Chu and Northern Xia, he was relieved.

"It's really not worry-free!" Mo Ziyu sighed, "I'll get in trouble as soon as I come." I really should have given an order to not let them enter the city directly. ”

At this time, Mo Ziyu suddenly sniffed and smelled a burst of wine.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she waved her hand to let all the palace people go down, then coughed and said, "No one, come in." ”

I only saw Situ Xingxing coming in through the window: "You are really a little clever ghost, how do you know that I am here?"

"If you don't go to the main gate, you have to fly the eaves and walk the wall, you don't take my guard's in your eyes, right?" Mo Ziyu scolded, "Didn't you go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, what are you going to do when you come back?"

Situ Jiexing smiled: "Now I have to go through a lot of reports to see you, it's too troublesome, it's better for me to sneak here in the middle of the night! I've been touring the mountains and rivers, but I'm playing and hearing a funny thing, that is, Queen Mulan is going to choose a husband, I wonder if Queen Mulan is not you? So I'll come and see the excitement! What's wrong with you, you just want to get married, and you won't make such a big move, right?"

"It was made by the matchmaker and the relatives, and after they finished it, they notified me, what a queen, they didn't take me seriously. Mo Ziyu held his chin and sighed, "I'm also worried, maybe people are laughing at me behind my back!"

"It doesn't matter what other people do!" Situ Jiexing waved his hand, "It's a good thing if you can really find a husband!"

After he finished speaking, he winked at Mo Ziyu and sold cuteness.

"Yes, you can make fun of me too!" Mo Ziyu picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over.

Situ Jiexing took it, handed it to Mo Ziyu with a glass of wine by the way, and said with a smile: "Think about it, instead of asking you to be married by those people who are not in tune, it is better to follow me, how can we be regarded as buddies who live and die together, don't you know the roots?"

"Get out!" Mo Ziyu took a sip of wine, "Don't mention this to me, I'm upset." ”

The moonlight is clear.

Very unfortunately, Liu Xu and Mi Zi met again in front of the palace gate.

"It's so late, what are you doing here without sleeping?" asked Qi Zi sarcastically.

"Since I'm here, I can't talk to Yu'er, and I want Yu'er to miss Changqing very much, and this time I brought Changqing so that they can catch up on the past!" Liu Xu pointed to Liu Changqing beside him and said, then glanced at Mi Zi again, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Changqing looked at his former friend and brother, but now he is a stranger, and he is also full of emotion in his heart.

"She's my friend, and I'm also here to catch up with her, what's the problem?" said lightly.

The palace people who went to report hurriedly came back, and after saluting the two of them, they said: "Your Majesty said, please let His Royal Highness Changqing enter for a long time, as for the two nobles, it is inconvenient to see each other now, please go back first." ”

Liu Changqing's eyes showed some excitement, and after glancing at his father, Liu Xu nodded.

And so he went. Liu Changqing said, "It's windy here, so let's go back first." ”

"It's okay, I'm waiting for you here!" Liu Xu said, "Go ahead, don't make her wait for a long time!"

"Yes. ”

Liu Changqing entered the palace, Liu Xu saw that Mi Zi had no intention of leaving, and asked with a smile: "You don't want to leave yet, do you want to enjoy the moonlight here?"

"Aren't you the same?" Qi Zi smiled sarcastically, "but when you reminded me like this, I think the scenery here is indeed someone else's charm." ”

"People don't want to see you, why stay here?" Liu Xu said disdainfully with his arms crossed.

"Why aren't you?" Qi Zi narrowed her eyes, "But I'm young and still able to get this cold wind, you're so old, let's go back and rest early!"

Liu Xu is only in the prime of life, but looking at Mi Zi in his early twenties in front of him, he really feels the passage of time, he smiled slightly: "Young man, easy to be impulsive, be careful of getting angry." But now when I think of the time of love with Yu'er in the past, my heart is warm, which some people can't understand. ”

"The past becomes the past, and our young people now see the future, unlike older people, who only miss the past!" Mi Zi coldly retorted.

Liu Xu was choked and speechless.
