Chapter Eighty-Five: Painting
At night, the house was unusually quiet, Man'er was carrying a freshly cooked supper and was ready to send it to Mo Jinxuan's room, she originally wanted to push the door in directly, but it was a little inappropriate to think about it, although Mo Jinxuan did not treat her as an outsider, but the basic etiquette could not be abolished, such as she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Mo Jinxuan's tone was calm.
Man'er pushed the door and entered Mo Jinxuan's room and found that Mo Jinxuan was painting seriously.
"In the future, just come in directly, there is no need to knock on the door, there are only you and me in this house, and you don't need to care about so many etiquette," Mo Jinxuan immersed himself in painting, but gently instructed Man'er.
Man'er put the supper on the table, her face was full of happiness, and she peeked at Mo Jinxuan with a demented look and said, "Childe, Man'er wrote it down, Man'er just cooked some supper for Childe, and Childe ate it while it was hot." ”
"Well," Mo Jinxuan didn't look up, still painting, with a serious look, and shook his head from time to time as if he was not very satisfied.
Man'er was curious, so she took a closer look at Mo Jinxuan's painting, there was a very beautiful woman painted on the paper, Man'er suddenly felt a little jealous, but when she thought of her identity, she stabilized her flood of spring heart, "Childe, the woman in this painting, Man'er seems to have seen it somewhere," she seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"Oh! Man'er has seen it? Then Man'er said, look, how did I draw this woman? When Mo Jinxuan bought Man Er from the street, she was still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and now she has grown into a slim girl, he just wants to know if the woman in the painting can be regarded as a first-class beauty from a woman's point of view.
Man'er looked at the portrait carefully, the woman in the painting combed her hair in a simple bun, wearing a white dress, beautiful and refined, "like a fairy who doesn't eat the world, but her eyebrows and eyes are actually a little similar to herself, she suddenly secretly rejoiced in her heart, for a long time, she muttered, "Man'er has never seen such a beautiful woman, I don't know who Gongzi painted?" Man'er couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while," she looked at Mo Jinxuan expectantly and replied.
Mo Jinxuan looked at the painting stupidly and said, "It seems that my painting still doesn't look like her, otherwise how could Man'er not remember where I saw it?" ”
Man'er thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, but her eyes also dimmed, "Man'er remembered, it was the woman that Man'er took care of last time, is that woman the child's sweetheart?" ”
Mo Jinxuan didn't tell Man'er that Su Yingxue was the tenth princess at that time, Man'er was usually trapped in the house and had never gone out, so he naturally didn't know what Su Yingxue's identity was, his eyes were foggy, his expression was thoughtful, and he didn't answer Man'er's question, and only after a long time did he slowly say, "You go down and rest first." ”
Seeing that Mo Jinxuan seemed to have something on her mind, Man'er didn't dare to ask more, so she walked out of Mo Jinxuan's room with light steps and gently closed the door.
Mo Jinxuan hung the portrait of Su Yingxue in a position that could be seen at a glance, and savored it for a long time, the bits and pieces of his past relationship with Su Yingxue appeared in his mind, and every smile and every little expression of Su Yingxue was the light that lit up his life.
Man'er stood outside the door of Mo Jinxuan's room, never leaving a step, she couldn't count how many nights she had been obsessively guarding Mo Jinxuan, every dawn, when Mo Jinxuan was about to get up, she secretly left, since she sold herself to bury her father and was embarrassed, Mo Jinxuan appeared like a god, bought her, and treated her very well, she didn't dare to ask for anything more, as long as she could guard Mo Jinxuan quietly like this, she was also happy.
"Why is Heaven so unjust? I've never gotten anything I like," Mo Jinxuan looked at Su Yingxue's portrait and gritted his teeth at every word.
When he was a child, Mo Jinxuan couldn't fall asleep over and over, so he walked out of the room with a pot of wine, and flew to the roof with a light skill, looking in the same direction as if he was losing his soul while drinking.
Man'er hid behind the mahogany pillar and stared at Mo Jinxuan, this is how many times she has seen Mo Jinxuan look in the same direction, she also took advantage of Mo Jinxuan to climb to the roof, wanting to see what Mo Jinxuan was looking at, but except for seeing a luxurious mansion, there was nothing, she didn't understand why Mo Jinxuan looked at it for a few hours, and every time she looked like she was borrowing wine to kill her sorrows.
The sky was slightly bright, and Mo Jinxuan jumped off the roof, his movements dashing, and his handsome face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
Man'er couldn't figure out what Mo Jinxuan was thinking, so worried?
Mo Jinxuan walked into the room, closed the door, and Man'er also took the opportunity to go back to the room.
It was another snowy weather, Mo Yuxiao had already begun to review Mo Zhengfeng in the study, Liang Biyu was carefully grinding beside him, making tea, and accompanying him, when he was halfway through the review, he suddenly frowned and his face was serious.
Liang Biyu said gently: "Husband, but there is something that gives you a headache?" ”
Mo Yuxiao put down the pen in her hand and folded it together, "I'm afraid this piece can only be approved by my father." ”
Liang Biyu was curious, "Is it convenient for the concubine to take a look?" ”
Mo Yuxiao didn't say a word and handed the fold to Liang Biyu.
Liang Biyu opened the fold, which turned out to be the twist and turn of Prime Minister Lian's punishment.
"Husband, the speed at which Prime Minister Lian turned his face and didn't recognize people is really amazing, the tenth brother just put Lian Mei away, and he recommended the fourth brother on the back foot, the fourth brother has never been involved in the affairs of the DPRK and China, what does Prime Minister Lian mean by this?"
"Beiyi Kingdom has just launched a war letter to his father, Prime Minister Lian wants his father to send the fourth brother to go, as expected, the fourth brother should take the initiative to ask for his life, it seems that the fourth brother has not participated in the affairs of the DPRK and China over the years, but secretly has dealings with many ministers, as a prince wants to strengthen his wings is normal, now it seems that the fourth brother's mind is probably not so simple."
"Husband, you mean, the fourth brother wants to ......," Liang Biyu stopped when she wanted to speak.
Mo Yuxiao understood Liang Biyu's words, then nodded and said: "If the father really sends the fourth brother forward, he will definitely hand over half of the military power to the fourth brother, and the fourth brother can justifiably get the military power, how important the military power is, having the military power is equivalent to having the right to compete with me, if the fourth brother really wants to compete for the crown prince, then my prince position is really in jeopardy." ”
Liang Biyu is also a smart person, "The fourth brother's courage is indeed outstanding, then the Beiyi Kingdom dares to openly declare war, I'm afraid it's not so easy to repel it, the fourth brother is taking a risk." ”
Mo Yuxiao's face became deeper, "The fourth brother is also gambling, betting on a chance to compete for the position of the crown prince, before the tenth brother took the initiative to ask for his life, this time the tenth brother will definitely take the initiative to ask for his life, with the tenth brother together, the chances of repelling the Beiyi Kingdom have greatly increased, the fourth brother's move is wonderful!" There was sarcasm in his tone.
In the Ten Princes' Mansion, Mo Chenyu had just prepared a recital and was ready to enter the palace to face the saint.
"Lord Wang, this time you took the initiative to ask for orders to go to the battle?" Qin Feng saw the content of the fold.
"Well, this time Beiyi is menacing, my father will definitely not let this king go alone, if my father sends the eldest brother to go, this king will just assist."
"Lord Wang, over the years, you have been thinking about others every time, why don't you think about yourself?" Qin Feng watched Mo Chenyu make wedding dresses for Mo Yuxiao again and again, and was suspected of ill intentions, in his opinion, it was so unworthy.
Mo Chenyu didn't have any expression on his face, and said coldly, "This king is thinking about himself before he takes the initiative to ask for his life, only when the world is peaceful, this king can return to seclusion with peace of mind in the future, as a prince, it is his destiny to calm down the turmoil, if I don't take the initiative to go, the eldest brother is quite dangerous alone, if something happens, the burden of the world, this king can't afford it." ”
Speaking of this, Qin Feng understood, if anything happened to the prince, the next prince position must be Mo Chenyu, if it weren't for Mo Chenyu's unintentional prince's position, this prince would have changed people long ago.
