Jiang Zhiluo led Mo Ziling into the main hall of the front yard again, Zhao Shuo was playing chess with Mo Zilan, Su Cangming was dressed in red and stood behind Zhao Shuo and watched the two of them play chess, Han Fang was still wearing a green shirt and sat on one side in a distracted manner; Jiang Zhiluo saw that everyone had arrived and greeted them, so she went to the flower hall to watch the maids and maids set up a meal, and Mo Ziling walked behind Mo Zilan to watch him fall.

Su Cangming smiled and said to her: "Ah Ling, yesterday was Ah Ruo's wrong, my father, the princess and the princess spoiled her, I am here to compensate for her, and thank Ah Ling's subordinates for showing mercy and protecting all my face for Nan Chen in front of Your Majesty." ”

"Brother Su is polite. I don't think Nanchen Wang Ji should make such a rude move, Brother Su should be more careful, but I'm afraid that Ling Mei will be used as a gun. Mo Ziling always felt that with the upbringing of the Nan Chen royal family, Su Ruoshui should not have said such a dishonorable thing, even if he was a little jealous.

"I thought about it for a long time yesterday evening and felt that this matter was a little strange, and Ah Ling actually thought of a place. Su Cangming frowned and thought.

"Brother Su, it's really not appropriate for Sister Ling to live in the harem with such a temperament, although I started a little harder, but I didn't feel that I was wrong. Brother Su should understand my character, if it weren't for looking at your face, Sister Ling would be a dead person now; What is Your Majesty's mind now, I think you should know better in the king, when Your Majesty is looking at the four seas, if Ling Mei makes any mistakes, I am afraid it will really be a disaster for the Nanchen royal family. ”

"Ah Ling doesn't say that I know, but I still want to thank you. ”

Zhao Shuo saw that the two of them were so polite and joked with a smile: "Several of us are life and death friends from Jiayuguan, we don't know what kind of temperament you two have? Don't be more polite, otherwise our teeth will be sour, Han Gongzi said, right?"

Han Fang was still in a trance, and did not answer, Zhao Shuo and Mo Ziling exchanged glances and asked him again, Han Fang returned to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Shuo smiled and said that he had nothing to do and diverted the topic, and his eyes returned to the chessboard.

Han Fang got up and walked to Mo Ziling's side and asked her if it was convenient for her to chat, Mo Ziling smiled and said, "Everyone is so close, what's the convenience or inconvenience, what does Senior Brother have to say, Ah Ling listens." ”

The rest of the people were all focused on the chess game and didn't say much.

Seeing her like this, Han Fang knew that Mo Ziling didn't want to talk to him in private, and his heart was suffocated, and he looked at her fixedly, and his eyes were dark.

When he was at a stalemate, he saw a guard hurriedly running over and standing at the door to report: "Your Royal Highness, there is a carriage at the door, and the people in the car have not come out, but one of them is following next to me and saying that an old friend from Jiayuguan came to visit, you see?"

Several people looked at each other, all wondering who was coming, Zhao Shuo got up and asked, "The person who spoke is forty years old and has no beard?"

"Exactly, the subordinates looked at this person as a palace attendant. ”

"You went back to meet you. ”

The guards went as promised, and several people in the hall frowned; Su Cangming couldn't believe it and asked, "Won't it be Your Majesty coming?"

Zhao Shuo replied: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty is really here, and the person who spoke should be the eunuch; The words fell and walked out.

Su Cangming walked to Mo Ziling's side and whispered in her ear: "Our majesty is not only ambitious, but also jealous. ”

Mo Ziling glared at him back, Mo Zilan shook his head slightly, and Han Fang took a step back and bowed his head gloomily.

After a while, Zhao Shuo led the two of them over, but it was not Ji Yuchen: a dark brocade robe, without any ornamentation, only a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang white jade pendant hung on his waist, and his black hair was coiled up with a white jade hairpin;

Several people in the hall hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him, and Ji Yuchen waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite, since I am a micro-service, don't be restrained." ”

After the words fell, he walked to Mo Ziling's side, took her hand, and walked into the hall first, Zhao Shuo was busy serving tea and pouring water himself; Jiang Zhiluo also got the news and hurried to the main hall to meet her, and after saying a few words, he had prepared lunch and invited a few people to move to the flower hall.

The flower hall in Zhao Shuo's mansion has long had a good reputation in the royal capital, because Jiang Zhiluo likes to take care of flowers and plants, all kinds of famous flowers and plants in the flower hall are scattered and placed; Several people walked into the flower hall and were amazed, Mo Ziling was still a little girl no matter how lonely she was on weekdays, and when she saw so many flowers and plants, she couldn't help but pull out her hand from Ji Yuchen's palm and touch these flowers and plants to smile; Ji Yuchen stopped to accompany her to enjoy the flowers, but her eyes were only glued to her smile.

After arranging for a few other people to be seated, Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Ah Ling, let's see which pots you like, I'll ask someone to send them to Beifeng Post House for you." ”

Mo Ziling shook his head lightly: "I can't live in the royal capital for a few days, sister-in-law Mo cut love, and I won't take care of it if it is sent to me, but it's a pity for these flowers and plants." ”

After the two of them sat down, Mo Zilan asked, "Ah Ling finally came, why didn't the king stay longer in the royal capital? Brother still wants to stay with you for a few more days." ”

The others were also puzzled, they all thought that Mo Ziling would live until Mo Zilan got married and then return to Beifeng.

"A few days and nights before I set off from Beifeng, there was a vision in Kunlun Mountain, which should be a person who has achieved great witchcraft and was born in retreat; although I have not yet received any news of the change, but Beifeng is the closest to Kunlun Mountain, it is better for me to go back as soon as possible, so as not to have time to deal with any accidents. Brother, it is said that your wedding Ah Ling should participate, but I really can't rest assured, you also know that ordinary people may not be able to deal with ghost magic. ”

Mo Zilan said softly: "In this case, Ah Ling should go back as soon as possible, you don't have much heart, Brother Ah knows Ah Ling's intentions." I'm worried that you, since you are a master of witchcraft, it shouldn't be so easy to deal with, Ah Ling is careful in everything. ”

Seeing that the faces of several people at the banquet were worried, Mo Ziling chuckled: "You don't have to worry, I also know about it, it's just a temporary guess; ”

Ji Yuchen's hand on the table held her little hand tightly and gave her silent support, and smiled and said to Jiang Zhiluo about her hard work and raised her spoon to eat, and several people also thanked her and started to eat.

Because Ji Yuchen suddenly appeared, it was inevitable that the banquet was a little restrained, Mo Ziling couldn't bear to lose Jiang Zhiluo's face, so he told some jokes made by Li Zheng when he first received Beifeng, and several people laughed and joked when they heard it, and the atmosphere slowly became lively;

Ji Yuchen began to tease Su Cangming again, and asked him if he was going to be the groom's official one day, but he was nervous; everyone at the banquet was often teased by Su Cangming's scoundrels on weekdays, and when they saw Ji Yuchen mention it, they didn't hesitate to ask him for benefits, and there was laughter in the banquet.

Mo Ziling watched quietly, these people were either her dearest relatives, or the people who were going to hold her hands for a lifetime, or the people close to her who had fought side by side; these people all held heavy power and controlled the life and death of others, but at this time they laughed like children, I don't know when such a moment will happen again, and I can't help but hope that time can be engraved at this beautiful time. Ji Yuchen knew her mind when he saw her expression, and reached out to rub her hands in his palms.

Han Fang has been quietly observing the expressions of the two of them, at this time, seeing Ji Yuchen's eyes looking at Ah Ling with affection, Ah Ling's eyes are also full of his shadow, and there is a colicy in his heart; he really can't understand himself, Ah Ling has already understood that he has refused a few times, but why can't he let go? He Han Fang is the 'Snow Boy' in the eyes of the world, he seems to be amorous but also the most ruthless, the people who have not touched the leaves in the thousands of flowers are now deeply entangled, where is there still half a point of freedom at the beginning? However, for Ah Ling, he doesn't know what to do, he just doesn't want to let go! The more I thought about it, the more heartbroken I became, and the faster I drank.

Zhao Shuo, as the master, carefully observed everyone's reactions, and when he saw Han Fang drinking like this, he knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and he couldn't persuade him in front of His Majesty, so he only quietly gave Su Cangming, who was sitting next to Han Fang, a look;

Unconsciously, an hour had passed, Ji Yuchen picked up the wine cup and said loudly: "Today is Zhao Shizi as the east, I came uninvited, one is to find Ling'er, and the other is to get together with a few people privately. There are no outsiders here, you are all close to me along the way, and you should all guess my intentions. Ling'er was right at the dinner yesterday, I just want to open up the territory and create a prosperous era of Dayue! However, I will never be able to do it on my own, and my greatest reliance is on a few of you close to me; in the year since I ascended the throne, it has been you who have solved problems for me, and I remember your friendship. I don't want to think about how difficult it will be to create a prosperous world, I only know that you are all talents who help the world, and I don't want to focus only on your territory, I just want you to show your ambition with me, to create a prosperous era of Dayue, and to create a princes' territory that your fathers never dared to think of!"

After a few people looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Shuo raised the wine cup first, and Mo Zilan and the others also raised their mouths and said in unison: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I am willing to be on the ground!"

After drinking the wine, the monarch and the ministers laughed heartily, and they immediately began to discuss how to make the court more stable and when to start conquering the surrounding countries; Ji Yuchen took the initiative to mention how to reward them after the conquest, and they couldn't stop talking with each other.

Jiang Zhiluo personally served tea and water, Mo Ziling quietly listened to their discussion, occasionally interjected a sentence, more often looked at Ji Yuchen, saw his eyebrows flying and pointed out the country, but in his heart he thought about the various scenes when he first met him; his introvertedness, his meticulousness, his understanding of the people's feelings, his hard work, his thoughtful planning, his self-sacrifice, and the domineering of the emperor at this time. I have to hold hands with such a person for the rest of my life, even if she is determined that she will not die well, it may be in vain to hold hands with him······
