Xiao Mo has never summoned Xiao Xun since he took Xia Man back, and Xiao Xun also knew the reason, so he only asked for an edict to join the Northern Dynasty.

In the Xuanlin Palace, Xiao Mo sat in front of the desk holding Xiao Xun's recital, pondering, while Xia Man sat aside, eating oranges, took a piece of paper casually, put the orange seeds he spit out, and said: "He has been on the recital many times to enter the Northern Dynasty, why not fulfill him." ”

"Now he is the only prince of the Southern Dynasty, and he can't help being willful." Xiao Mo closed the fold and threw it aside, watching the same fold pile up.

"Are you afraid that the people of the Southern Dynasty will use this as material and discuss right and wrong." After eating the oranges, Xia Man rubbed it into Xiao Mo's arms, like a lazy kitten.

Xiao Mo pinched Xia Man's cheek lovingly, and said, "Yes." ”

"You just give him a fief and keep him far away, so that he has no mustard in his heart, so naturally he will not mention this again." Xia Man thought about it, and said: "Give him a few more side concubines, so that Mu Hanyan can treat him wholeheartedly." ”

Xiao Mo nodded slightly, thinking about Xia Man's words, and felt that it was feasible, so he made an exception and divided the seal, assigned Jiang Di to Xiao Xun, and sent envoys to the Northern Dynasty to ask for relatives, and at the same time, he selected seven or eight school-age women in the clan to give them to Xiao Xun together.

Prince Qi Xian, as the only prince of the Southern Dynasty, married the eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty this time, and naturally attracted much attention, and everyone talked about it on the streets.

"You really hold a grudge." Chikage listened to the discussions of the people around her, turned her gaze to Xia Man, and couldn't help but be shocked, remembering if she had also offended her.

Xia Man smiled, noncommittal, and continued to knock on the melon seeds, today it should have been Xiao Mo who took her out of the palace to relax, but if she wanted to be busy with government affairs, she entrusted Qianying, so there was a scene where the two of them sat in the attic and chatted.

"Your bowl of 'spring' tea is really superb!" Xia Man put down the melon seed skin in his hand and looked at Qianying with a smile, which made Qianying feel furious.

"Ahem...... That, didn't you make up for it, if it weren't for my brother's special physique, I would definitely have a catastrophe. "When Qianying thinks about it now, she feels terrified.

Xia Man retracted his gaze and thought about it, although it was to confuse Mu Hanchuan that he lied that the child was Qianying's, but Xiao Mo had never asked about it, it was really strange, and asked, "What is the secret of this matter?"

Chikage didn't answer and asked, "Have you ever drunk his blood?" ”

Xia Man remembered that day Xiao Mo pricked his finger and put the bleeding finger on his lips, so he nodded.

Qianying continued: "That's it, when the senior brother worshiped in the Fantasy Pavilion, there was a strange poison in his body, and the master thought of a way to suppress poison with poison in order to detoxify it. ”

"And such a miraculous poison?" Xia Man was amazed at such superb poison skills from the Illusion Pavilion.

Qianying raised her eyebrows, her face suddenly full of black lines, "The focus of your attention seems to be a little strange. ”

The two continued to chat, and Xia Man inquired a lot about Xiao Mo from Qianying, and in exchange, he naturally gave him many valuable items.

Before the concubine entered the door, several of the rewarded clan women entered the palace first, although there are precedents to follow, but Mu Hanyan has a lot of complaints about this, but Xiao Mo's will is in front, Xiao Xun does not dare to disobey, and there is some discord between the two.

The big wedding ceremony was cumbersome, and the customs of the two dynasties were different, so it took several days to discuss the matter of welcoming relatives.

"You haven't married yet, those side concubines actually served Xiao Xun first, if you want me to say, you shouldn't accept this family business." Mu Handong sighed and sat aside, very displeased.

Mu Hanchuan blushed, clenched the bead string in his hand, and said nothing.

Seeing the demeanor of the two elder brothers, Mu Hanyan could only persuade: "Big brother and second brother, don't be angry, Xiao Xun promised me that no matter how many side concubines there are in the house, he will not stay overnight." ”

"At present, can he be indifferent?" Mu Hanchuan has been on the throne for many years, and he knows the methods of harem women well, for fear that his little sister will be wronged.

"If he dares, if he loses me, he will be divorced." Mu Hanyan looked at the two elder brothers as he spoke, saw that their expressions were a little relaxed, and said, "Besides, with my brothers here, who dares to bully me." ”

"Alas! Anyway, since you have decided to get married, the wedding must be grand, which must be enough to show the luxury of your eldest princess. Mu Hanchuan finally relented.

"Thank you, big brother." Mu Hanyan hurriedly added tea to the two elder brothers, and said a lot of comforting words, and then it was over.

The Northern Dynasty was in full swing to prepare for Mu Hanyan's wedding, Xiao Xun also began to arrange in the palace, and Xiao Mo changed into civilian clothes.

There is a lot of heat in the ginger field, Xiao Xun knows that he is afraid of the cold and smoke, so he found many big trees, transplanted them in the house, and dug a canal next to the dormitory to introduce the Fuyuan Pond, one is to reduce the heat, and the other is to facilitate the viewing.

As soon as Xiao Mo stepped into the palace, he saw that Xiao Xun was busy building a canal, so he shouted: "Fourth brother." ”

Seeing the visitor, Xiao Xun was stunned for a moment, and then saluted respectfully, "The emperor came here, he missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"When did you and my brother get so angry?" Xiao Mojing walked to the main hall, found a seat, poured himself another cup of tea, and drank it.

Xiao Xun also followed into the hall and stood aside, guessing Xiao Mo's intention.

"Sit." Xiao Mo pointed to the couch beside him, poured another cup of tea, and then said, "I came to you today to ask you a few words." ”

Xiao Xun was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he just sat down and said, "Your Majesty, please speak, my brother will listen to you." ”

"No matter what happens, you are always the heir of the Xiao family of the Southern Dynasty, although you don't have to protect the interests of the royal family and clan in everything, but if it is for the sake of the love of your children......" Xiao Mo paused, looked at Xiao Xun, and his face was heavy.

Xiao Xun understood, got up and knelt down, and said, "Brother Huang's teachings, brother of the ministers remember." ”

"Get up." Xiao Mo took out a talisman from his arms and put it on the desk, and then said: "South of Jiangdi is the Heavenly Wolf Department, although the two clans are safe now, but they have to be guarded against, from then on, King Qi has lived here from generation to generation to protect the Southern Dynasty." ”

"Yes." Xiao Xun accepted the talisman, and in this way, he also fulfilled his responsibility.

Xiao Mo finished speaking, and he didn't stay for long, so he rushed back to the palace on a fast horse, and today, he made an appointment with Xia Man to enjoy the moon together.

In the Liangyi Palace, Xia Man was painting to pass the time, and his body had become heavier and heavier recently, and Rao was reclining, still a little tired.

"Niangniang, take a break and drink some chicken soup." Xin'er helped Xia Man up, and when she was about to pack up her pen and ink, Xiao Mo entered the hall, so she retreated.

Xiao Mo glanced at the paintings left on the case, couldn't help but hold back a smile, and asked, "What is this painting?"

"Grapes." Xia Man drank the chicken soup and seemed very satisfied with his 'work'.

Looking at the ink balls the size of eggs on the painting paper, Xiao Mo couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I heard that the Qin family is full of books, Rao is that you were lost when you were young, it stands to reason that there is always some background, why ......?"

Xia Man was a little embarrassed, put down the chicken soup, coughed, and said with a smile: "I really have no talent, no talent." ”

Xiao Mo was noncommittal, moved away from the desk, stretched out his hand to pick up Xia Man, and walked out, "Today is the fifteenth, the best time to enjoy the moon." ”

In just a few dozen steps, Xiao Mo took Xia Man to the terrace on the roof of the Liangyi Palace.

Xia Man was held in his arms, and seeing that Xiao Mo didn't plan to let go of himself, he simply found a comfortable position, leaned on Xiao Mo, and said, "It is said that the moon of fifteen is sixteen round, but the moon tonight is too beautiful." ”

"There is no shade here, and in a quarter of an hour, a star will appear next to the moon, very dazzling, Si Tianjian said, such a spectacle is rare in a hundred years." Xiao Mo pointed to a certain place in the sky and explained to Xia Man.

Xia Man followed Xiao Mo's finger and looked, the moon was faintly shining, it seemed to be the position of the stars, "It's coming out soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, a flickering lone star appeared in its true face, and for a while, it attracted Xia Man's attention.

However, for a moment, Xia Man suddenly felt unwell, atrial fibrillation, and poor breathing, which was very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo hurriedly helped Xia Man Shun, with panic in his words, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Man held Xiao Mo's hand, took a few breaths hard, and comforted: "It's okay, suddenly a little uncomfortable, let's go back to the dormitory." ”

Xiao Mo didn't dare to delay, and went back to the dormitory with Xia Man in his arms, and hurriedly passed the message to the imperial doctor, until he heard the word "no hindrance" from the imperial doctor's mouth, and his hanging heart was relaxed.

"It scared the hell out of me." When there were only two people left in the hall, Xiao Mo sat on the edge of the couch, took Xia Man's hand, and kissed it lightly.

Although his breathing was much easier, his heart was still beating rapidly, and Xia Man rubbed it without a trace, and then smiled: "Maybe it's blowing the wind, it's not in the way, don't worry." ”

Xiao Mo took a deep breath before putting down the curtain, hugged Xia Man, and slowly fell asleep.

This night, Xia Man slept unsteadily, sweating profusely several times, and suddenly woke up, fortunately, with Xiao Mo in his arms, he was more at ease, but he was still very flustered.

Looking at the sleeping face of the person in front of him, Xia Man unconsciously stretched out his hand and traced the outline of his face little by little, the more he depicted, the more sad his heart became, and a terrible conjecture appeared in his mind, could this spectacle be related to his own experience, and he would die soon?

Xia Man sighed softly, his heart was sour, tears poured up, he lost his mind for a while, and the tears slipped down and dripped to Xiao Mo's forehead, and when he was about to wipe it away, he was caught by Xiao Mo's wrist and said, "Why are you crying?"

Xia Man shrank into Xiao Mo's arms, hugged his waist, and said with some fear: "I had a nightmare." ”

"Don't be afraid, there's me." Xiao Mo kissed Xia Man's forehead, and gently patted her back for a long time before coaxing the person in his arms to sleep.

After a night, Xiao Mo was worried about Xia Man, and he didn't sleep well, but he still got up early and had breakfast before going to the court, while Xia Man slept until noon, and when he woke up, although he was no longer unwell, he was still thinking about things in his heart.
