In the evening, Mo Jin was in a panic, and she couldn't find anything to pass the time, so it happened that there was a hot spring in the courtyard where she lived, so she asked Su Yan and Su Xin to prepare a small basket of eggs and put them in the hot spring, and let them prepare wine, so they soaked in the pool sprinkled with flower petals and poured themselves a drink.

She was depressed now because it was completely different from what she had thought.

At that time, Yuan Lie rushed from the capital over the mountains and mountains, in order to arrive at the disaster area a few days earlier, so as to help the people affected by the disaster. But now, not only do they not even know what the disaster area looks like, but they are simply locked up in this big mansion, eating and drinking spicy food every day without asking about the world.

Mo Jin is not the Virgin, in fact, natural and man-made disasters generally don't touch her too much, but what she can't accept is that Yuan Lie clearly said that he would come to the disaster, but in the compliments and flattery of many officials, he gradually lost his heart and forgot the purpose of his trip.

She knows that now the gang of officials in Luzhou are adopting a Huairou policy, and they understand that it will not work, so they want to use these side doors to corrupt and buy, but they know that Mo Jin still can't figure it out, this Yuan Lie is so rich, and he doesn't lack anything, why did he come to Luzhou, and he seems to have lost himself?

In the past two days, since getting off the carriage, they have not seen each other once, but she can also hear the sound of silk and bamboo singing not far away.

The more Mo Jin thought about it, the more angry he became, and he took the wine glass and drank the fruit wine in the glass.

"Lord Wang!" Su Yan and Su Xin, who were guarding the door, saw Yuan Lie in a purple robe appear in front of them, and exclaimed, Su Xin reacted and wanted to go in to report, but Bei Yuan Lie gently raised his hand to stop him, and then, he walked towards the courtyard with his long legs.

"But ......" Su Yan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Xin's look.

"Su Xin, why are you stopping me? The princess is in the hot spring ink bath, and she has no clothes on! Su Yan muttered nervously and dissatisfiedly.

Su Xin shook her head and asked helplessly, "What is the relationship between the prince and the princess?" ”

"What kind of relationship can it be, husband and wife." After saying that it didn't matter, Su Yan suddenly realized, yes, the prince and the princess slept together, what else can't you see when you soak in a hot spring!

Then the two of them continued to guard the gate of the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

The fruit wine is very sweet and not spicy, and Mo Jin began to drink it endlessly as soon as he drank it.

But she didn't know that although this wine was sweet, it had a lot of stamina, and most of the pot was down, and she was completely in a fog and didn't know where she was.

The temperature of the hot spring under him was suitable, and Mo Jin felt like he was lying in a warm feather, slowly ascending to the sky in the warm breeze.

It wasn't too good, she closed her eyes, opened her arms, and pretended she was really flying in the sky.

When Yuan Yeol walked into the hot spring pool, he saw this scene - a stunning woman with snow and peach cheeks smiling, smiling and picturesque in the hot spring pool covered with pink petals. The pool will cover half of her breasts, revealing an infinite reverie.

I don't know when, the "face changing cream" on Mo Jin's face has long faded under the steaming of the hot spring water, revealing the face of the city and the country.

It stands to reason that once the "retouching cream" is applied to the skin, it cannot be washed off by normal washing, unless it can be washed off with a wet hot towel for three quarters of an hour.

And the hot springs happen to contain sulfur.

Yuan Yeol leaned against a begonia tree by the pool, quietly admiring this rare beauty, until Mo Jin opened his eyes.

This is a pair of eyes dyed with drunkenness, as bright as peach blossoms, full of water vapor, and the moment they open, everything loses its color.

She looked at Yuan Lie, who was standing two steps away, and smiled like a flower.

Yuan Lie originally thought that Mo Jin Needle Eye would be angry when he saw him, but he didn't expect that it would indeed be such a well-behaved and moving smile.

As if bewitched, he took a step, walked to Mo Jin's side, bent one leg, and squatted down.

"What is the princess laughing at?" His voice was a little hoarse in the low magnetism, and there seemed to be a faint fire burning in his eyes, and as he spoke, he stretched out a finger and provoked her delicate chin.

Mo Jin giggled, and after a while, she replied, "Laughing at your good looks." ”

The smell of wine penetrated into Yuan Lie's nose with his daughter incense, knowing that she was drunk, his eyes darkened again, but he asked quietly, "Then do you like it?" ”

This question seemed to make Mo Jin a little difficult to understand, she slowly rolled her eyes to think, and at the same time, Yuan Lie took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that was better than Mo Jin.

Mo Jin was stunned from the moment she saw this face, her eyes looked at it without blinking, her eyes were full of amazement, and now, she couldn't answer Yuan Lie's question.

Yuan Lie smiled and continued to ask in a demagogic voice, "Do you like it?" ”

Do you like it? Of course I do!

Mo Jin didn't hesitate at this time, nodded without saying a word, and even showed a stupid smile.

Immediately after, she stretched out her jade arm and touched it under the water not far away, Yuan Lie didn't know what she wanted to do, so he watched quietly.

Then, I saw Mo Jin take out an egg from the water and hand it to the man in front of him like a treasure, "I'll give you a hot spring egg, it's delicious!" ”

Yuan Yeol: "......"

Sure enough, I can't have much hope for this woman with strange brain circuits.

But he still took the egg in one hand, but at the same time he bowed his head and swallowed the red and full lips like flower petals.

Won Yeol didn't intend to stop at the beginning.

Letting go of Mo Jin, who was struggling because of dissatisfaction, Yuan Lie finally let go of her, looking at her gasping appearance, he smiled evilly: "This is really delicious." ”

This kiss brought back a little of her senses, and with a shake of her still dizzy head, Mo Jin finally found herself squatting in front of a man, an extremely good-looking man.

She felt that the face was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Seeing her confused appearance, Yuan Lie couldn't help but smile and play: "What is the princess thinking?" ”

This sound? Wonyeol!

"Lord Wang?" She asked, somewhat uncertain, her eyes foggy and lazy.

"Well, it's the king." He put the mask back on.

Mo Jin was sure that the man in front of him was indeed Yuan Lie.

She asked a little puzzled, "Isn't the prince spending time with those adults?" What are you doing in my yard? ”

As soon as these words came out, the face under the mask instantly darkened, and she was drinking, how did she look at him?

Yuan Lie said coldly: "Just come and inform the princess, Luzhou City will hold a river lantern festival in the evening, hurry up and wake up, and this king will come to pick you up in two hours." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Mo Jin to say whether he would agree or not, and turned around and walked outside the courtyard gate.

Su Yan and Su Xin were a little surprised to see Yuan Lie come out so quickly, but they didn't show anything in the end.

"Let the princess come out quickly, fry a pair of sobering soup for her, and let her sleep after drinking." Before leaving, Yuan Yeol left this sentence.

When Yuan Lie walked away, Mo Jin remembered that he was wearing nothing, although the pool was full of petals, it was difficult to guarantee that he didn't see anything that he shouldn't see, and he was immediately furious, and he didn't care about the image of the princess, so he was drunk and yelled at the courtyard gate: "Yuan Lie, you are big!" Hue! Wolf! ”

Yuan Yeol, who had already walked away, looked down at the egg in his hand and laughed silently.

At the same time, Ding Xiqian, the prefect of Luzhou, was smiling proudly in the study with several henchmen, and said proudly: "You have also seen it, this official's method is still very useful, as long as it is a person, then it must be greedy for money, fame and fortune, there must be weaknesses, as long as we find it, and then break it one by one, let him be the king of Yi or the king of ghosts, for the sake of gold, it is not to give in." ”

Other officials hurriedly chimed in and held stinky feet.

Only one official was worried: "Then what if this prince has to go to the disaster area to see?" ”

Ding Xiqian smiled with a sly face, "It's okay, the official has already made arrangements." ”

After Yuan Lie left, Mo Jin was fished out of the hot spring pool by Su Yan and Su Xin, and then was coaxed to drink a bowl of sobering soup, and the two saw their princess's somewhat red and swollen lips, and they both tacitly chose not to see anything.

It wasn't until she slept for an hour and a half that Mo Jin finally woke up, remembering that Yuan Lie said that he would take her to see the River Lantern Festival in the afternoon, although she was very surprised, she still chose to do it.

Summoned Su Yan Suxin to finish dressing her, and sat in front of the dresser with vague steps, she saw the perfect face in the bronze mirror.

"Huh?" Mo Jin let out a surprised voice and looked back at the two maids, "Which of you removed the ointment from my face for me?" ”

Su Yan and Su Xin looked at each other, and then they reacted, didn't the princess unload it herself? So in this way, she didn't know that the prince already knew about her fake disfigurement?

Su Xin is a clever person, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "Back to the princess, the slave saw that you soaked in the hot spring water, and the ointment on your face was a little mottled, so she smeared the ointment before you went to bed, and then replenished it again when you woke up." ”

Mo Jin suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, just wipe it, I have a lot of this ointment anyway." ”

took out the "face change cream" from the medicine box, Mo Jin carefully applied it to the mirror again, and saw that he had become that ugly appearance again, and nodded with satisfaction, which made Su Xin comb his hair.

Su Yan was silent on the side for the princess who was kept in the dark.

When Qingfeng was ordered to pick up Mo Jin, the sky was already sparsely sprinkled with stars, and they went out through the back door of the courtyard, because out of the back door was the downtown area.

At this time, all kinds of colorful lanterns have been lit up on the street, which is very beautiful. Selling snacks, juggling, shadow puppet shows...... In front of every stall, it is crowded with people, and of course, the stall selling river lanterns is the most crowded.

I don't know if it's because of the customs here, people walking on the street today have all kinds of masks on their faces, colorful, different shapes, and then under the illumination of warm lights, it is both warm and beautiful, as if entering a fairy tale world.

This reminded Mo Jin of the fireworks festival in a foreign country he saw in his previous life.

She stretched her neck and looked around, but she didn't find Yuan Lie's figure, and for a moment she looked at the breeze behind her with some confusion, and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

Qingfeng didn't speak, just pointed behind Mo Jin.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a man wearing a fox mask standing silently behind her, if it weren't for the familiar cold incense and figure, Mo Jin almost screamed in fright.

"Lord, have you changed your mask?" She was still thinking just that everyone was parading the streets with masks tonight, and Yuan Yeol couldn't be abrupt with a mask face, but who knows, he actually changed one.

"Do as the locals do." A low-magnetic voice came through the mask, and Won Yeol said as he handed Mo Jin another mask in his hand.

She looked down and saw that it was also an identical fox mask.

As soon as she saw the fox, Mo Jin couldn't help but think of her pen name of "Fox Boy", she looked at the man in front of her with some doubts, thinking, he wouldn't find anything, right?

After putting on the masks, the two blended into the flow of people, experiencing the folk customs that are rare in the capital, and Qingfeng and many secret guards kept a short distance behind the two.

Mo Jin seemed to be very curious about everything, almost every stall had to join in the fun, Yuan Lie patiently accompanied her to stroll, not impatient at all, after shopping, Mo Jin Xing was also a conscience to find, bought two river lanterns, gave Yuan Lie one, followed the public to the riverside, and also prepared to put the river lanterns.

The wide river surface has been filled with a lot of lotus-style lanterns, each lantern is written with a variety of wishes and blessings, the Milky Way in the sky and the lamps on the ground echo each other, this face, actually makes Mo Jin feel magnificent.

Pinching the charcoal bars given by the stall owner, Mo Jin bit her lip, wondering what she should write about, and after a long time, with a stroke of the pen, she wrote down the three words "make a fortune".

After writing, she secretly glanced at Yuan Lie's river lantern, originally thought that a person as serious as Yuan Lie would definitely not believe in these folk customs, who knows, she actually saw him write "Guotai Min'an" upright on the river lantern.

Looking at her wish again, Mo Jin suddenly felt that Yuan Lie had entrusted her with extremely insignificance.

As soon as she squatted on the bank of the river and put the river lantern into the water, Mo Jin heard a suppressed cry from a middle-aged woman beside her, and she asked a little helplessly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

The middle-aged woman put the river lantern while crying, and Mo Jin counted it, and she put as many as eleven lights.

"My men, my uncles and sisters-in-law, and my brothers were all flooded, and I am praying for them."

"Click!" Mo Jin suddenly felt that an illusion in his heart that wanted to be covered was shattered like glass.

Since coming to Luzhou City, the scene of the Haiyan River is clear, which makes her feel more and more that the disaster here does not seem to be so serious, otherwise why would the people still hold this river lantern festival with a smile?

Or, this land has also been plagued, but it has already been governed, and the people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment.

However, it wasn't until the whimpering cry of the woman next to her came that she realized that she said that Yuan Yeol had lost her heart, and she hadn't been paralyzed by someone.

"The lady of the Zhang family! I can't say that! An old woman next to the middle-aged woman stopped her crying and pulled her away from the river with a nervous look.

After Mo Jin watched their figures disappear, he turned his head to look at the man beside him and called, "Lord Wang, this ......"

Yuan Lie looked at the lanterns on the river with deep eyes, and said in a calm tone: "The people here are all controlled, and this lively river lantern festival is also making a show for us." ”

Mo Jin: "......"

She was really shocked, what kind of power can manipulate the people of a city to act in a play?!

"But ......" Mo Jin wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Yuan Lie pointed to this river beach and asked, "Do you see any clues here?" ”

Mo Jin looked at it seriously, and for a long time, he didn't see anything, so he had to shake his head and say, "Everything is normal, and the concubine can't see anything." ”

Indeed, there are people living along the river, and the river beach is lush with water and grass, and the trees are lush, so no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a problem.

Yuan Lie smiled, "Yes, obviously there is no problem, the house has not collapsed, and the ground has not been flooded, but why are the people of the Chu family, as well as the local officials, so afraid that we will come to Luzhou?" ”

This question stopped Mo Jin, yes, she also wanted to know why, but Yuan Lie asked her, who should she ask?

The problem of flooding has indeed happened, and Zhang Damao, who fled to the capital, and the middle-aged woman who was crying just now, all prove this matter.

But all this is more like a rhetoric, they haven't seen anything, or rather, the people here don't want them to see it, so who are they supposed to believe?

"Has the princess rested for the past two days?" Yuan Lie's words changed, and he actually cared about whether she had rested well.

Mo Jin didn't understand why Yuan Lie made such a big turn for a while, and replied stumblingly: "Hugh...... It's time to rest. ”

Yuan Lie seemed to be very satisfied, nodded, and said with a smile: "Since you have rested, we may have to be busy from tomorrow." ”

At dawn the next day, Mo Jin was forcibly dragged up from the bed by Su Yan and Su Xin, and when she got up, she wanted to ask the teacher for her guilt, so she saw Su Yan pointing behind her pitifully.

Mo Jin looked in the direction she pointed, and saw Yuan Lie, who was dressed in a dark cloud embroidered gold brocade robe and wearing a purple and gold crown, holding a cup of tea, sitting on a chair in the middle of her bedroom majestically, looking at her with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Mo Jin suddenly had no sleepy insects, quickly turned over and got up, asked the two maids to wait for him to change clothes and freshen up, and after simply finishing breakfast, he went out with Yuan Lie.

Qingfeng stood at the door with Shang Fang's sword wrapped in black cloth in his arms, and there were many officials in official uniforms waiting respectfully outside the door.

Thinking of so many people waiting for him, Mo Jin's face turned red instantly, and he didn't need to be supported by anyone, and quickly got into the carriage.

Today is the day when Prince Yi and Princess Yi inspected the disaster area, and all the officials accompanied them.

From morning to noon, they inspected three towns that were said to be badly affected, and found that the local officials did an excellent job in both rebuilding and reassuring the people, and Won Yeol was very satisfied from the beginning to the end.

Under Yuan Lie's affirmation and encouragement, the officials led by Ding Xiqian couldn't close their smiling mouths.

Mo Jin didn't want to watch them act, so she ran to the middle of the team to find Nangong Yu to chat, she hadn't seen this senior brother for the past two days, and she didn't know what he was busy with.

For some reason, Mo Jin felt that Nangong Yu had been in a very low mood since he came to Luzhou City, at first she thought that he was cowardly from his hometown, but after thinking about it, the Lianghuai River Basin was far away from here, and she couldn't think about homesickness.

Therefore, Mo Jin simply went to ask himself, "Senior brother, why haven't you been out of the door these days?" Not happy? ”

Nangong Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying that he was not accustomed to the water and soil.

It's okay to deceive people who don't know anything with this nonsense, but they are both doctors with excellent medical skills, and this reason is obviously full of loopholes, after all, Nangong Yu looks a little unhappy, everything is normal.

Under Mo Jin's unrelenting harassment, Nangong Yu finally surrendered, lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember what I told you about my father?" ”

Mo Jin nodded, the story of the tragic extermination of the clan because she offended the queen's distant cousin, she now feels a chill down her spine.

Nangong Yu continued: "Now, I see the person in Luzhou who sued my father for corruption and bribery. ”

"The Queen's distant cousin?" Mo Jin blurted out.

Nangong Yu smiled bitterly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and said a little heavily: "That person is the prefect of Luzhou, Ding Xiqian, turned into ashes, I know him." ”

"But didn't he take your father's position back then, why did he come to Luzhou to be an official again?"

"Senior sister, more than ten years have passed." Nangong Yu was powerless.

Okay, she also felt that what Nangong Yu said was very reasonable, and continued to ask, "Then what are you going to do next?" Hand Enemy? ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, "The revenge must be avenged, but it can't be so cheap for him." ”

He had already thought of ninety-nine eighty-one ways to make people unable to survive but not to die.
