The original Ji Qiubai, even if it is a coarse cloth short clothes, has its own noble bookish atmosphere, the eyebrows are full of calm and elegant, and he treats people gently and politely; And now, his eyes are more determined and profound than before, like a deep well that can't salvage any emotions, which is intriguing.

Ji Qiubai should know very well that Xiao Mochen and Su Wan were sitting very close to him, but he never threw a single glance at this place from beginning to end, and he was terribly restrained.

Xiao Mochen's fists clenched slightly imperceptibly, and a stunning face was trying his best to suppress his anger - he still dared to come back? Why did he dare to come back?

Xiao Mochen had already broken his heart before, even if he could survive, he should be paralyzed in bed half-paralyzed, instead of attending the Shangyuan Festival state banquet as the lord of a country like this!

"Why is your face so ugly?" Su Wan withdrew his gaze looking at Ji Qiubai, and Leng Buding turned his head sideways to see Xiao Mochen next to him with a solemn face, as if he was thoughtful, and faintly with a murderous aura. Su Wan was not surprised.

Xiao Mochen smiled coldly and said slowly: "Again and again, again and again, this person has challenged my patience three times and twice, this time, I will not let him go out alive." ”

Su Wan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly spoke: "What are you talking about, he ...... He is no longer here in his personal capacity, he is now the king of the dignified kingdom of Chen, and he has come for the purpose of promoting exchanges between the two countries, so what does it have to do with you and me? ”

Su Wan actually couldn't quite accept the fact that Ji Qiubai had become the king of Chenguo, but when she heard that Xiao Mochen had murderous intentions towards him, she couldn't sit idly by.

First, she couldn't bear to let her master be killed by her husband like this, and her head was in a different place; Second, Ji Qiubai now has a special identity, if Xiao Mochen takes countermeasures that should not be done, it will affect the relationship between the two countries and even cause a war.

Looking at the old emperor's respectful attitude towards Ji Qiubai, it can be surmised that the empire urgently needs some commodities and goods to support the supply of Chen Kingdom. At such a critical juncture, how could Xiao Mochen do irreparable stupid things for personal grievances!

Su Wan's inner worries, how could Xiao Mochen not know? It's just that when he thought of Su Wan's intimate behavior with Ji Qiubai before, and Ji Qiubai didn't seem to be easily dead to Su Wan, Xiao Mochen felt upset and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

After calming down slightly, Xiao Mochen looked at Ji Qiu's white fist like a chrysanthemum, and he had never cast a look here, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Okay, if he continues to recognize his identity like this and doesn't do anything out of the way with you, I will let him go." ”

Su Wan also nodded, stretched out his hand on the back of Xiao Mochen's hand, and said softly: "If you have any ideas, you must remember to follow me first, and you must not be rash." ”

She knows Xiao Mochen's temper too well, and he will never be soft for a moment when he treats the enemy he imagines, and only thinks about slashing under the horse with a horizontal knife, leaving no trouble.

Feeling the temperature from Su Wan's fingertips, Xiao Mochen smiled faintly and nodded.

After three rounds of drinking, the old emperor was also a little drunk, looked at Ji Qiubai with a smile and said: "The king is so young and promising, and he looks better than Pan An, I don't know if there is a marriage match?" ”

From the moment Ji Qiubai walked into the main hall, the eyes of countless young ladies were firmly locked on him, and they were very curious about his spouse's information, and the old emperor helped them ask what they thought in their hearts.

Ji Qiubai smiled slightly, put down the chopsticks inlaid with gold and jade, wiped his lips elegantly with the warm and wet handkerchief on the side, and said slowly: "There are no cherry blossoms yet."

These four short words cast a circle of ripples in the hearts of the unmarried women who attended. Such a beautiful young man with delicate eyebrows looks noble and graceful, and he is also the lord of a country, which is enough to arouse the infinite reverie of the young girls.

After all, although Chen is not a big country, it is also a good country and a peaceful country, and the scenery is beautiful, which is very suitable for living.

When Su Wan heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Ji Qiubai, who looked serene on the high position, and thought very suspiciously: Didn't he follow him before, did he already have his wife by his side?

Since he already has a good match, why didn't he crown her as the queen after he became the king, is there something wrong with this?

Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn't help frowning slightly, and his clear eyes flashed with hesitation and uncertainty.

Xiao Mochen, who was on the side, noticed Su Wan's mood change, and also frowned, looking at Ji Qiubai in the hall with some uneasiness.

When the old emperor heard this, he put down his wine glass and became interested, tilted his head slightly and said, "The king doesn't have a queen yet?" Do you want to come to my big country like flowers, choose one or two to bring back to your long-term companions? ”

Countless ladies raised their heads high, waiting to hear the answers they had expected to hear. If you can marry into the kingdom of Chen and become the queen of this handsome and handsome young king, you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

Su Wan couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart, this old fox likes to mess around with mandarin duck scores when he arrives at night, and it's not enough to stuff so many demons and monsters into King Chen's mansion, and now he actually has the leisure of a foreign king, it's really better not to be an emperor and be a matchmaker.

Ji Qiubai chuckled, raised his starry eyes, looked at the emperor and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have your heart." ”

Hearing this obvious refusal, the old emperor was a little unhappy and asked, "What concerns does the king have?" Do you think that there is not a single young woman in my empire who can enter your eyes? ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the four immediately fell silent.

Under the general, who doesn't know that the old emperor's joy and anger are the most elusive, and one second ago he was still pushing a glass and changing glasses with you at the banquet, and they talked very happily; In the next second, because of your unintentional gaffe, you may send your whole family to the west.

Right now, everyone held their breath, waiting to see how Ji Qiubai would turn the danger into a disaster, or if he would offend the emperor's majesty miserably like this, and be trapped in the empire and unable to return.

Ji Qiubai didn't seem to notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him, but smiled faintly and said: "That's not the case, it's actually my stubborn personality, I only prepare to marry one person in this life and this life, neither perfunctory and indifferent, nor casual." ”

Ji Qiubai's words made everyone present extremely surprised. The fact that a noble king of a country is ready to marry only one woman in his life sounds like a fantasy.

Su Wan was also even more puzzled, if Ji Qiubai was so affectionate and single-minded, why didn't he stay with the master and wife he mentioned before?

Of course, the old emperor didn't expect Ji Qiubai to answer like this, the expression on his face changed, from the previous anger to curiosity, and said with a smile: "Oh? Since the king has such an ideal, it is really rare, and I appreciate it very much. Then why don't you accept my kindness and have more contact with the daughters of the emperor's relatives in the empire, maybe you can also achieve a good fate? ”

Listening to the old emperor's tentative question, the majority of unmarried ladies rekindled their hope. Yes, in addition to the previous advantages, Ji Qiubai also has a characteristic of being dedicated to his life, where is such a good man going to find?

You must know that in this generation, even if it is a nine-grade sesame official, there will be ten wives and concubines in the house, and there are countless beautiful women in the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, with groups of wives and concubines, living a luxurious and comfortable life all day long, so unhappy.

Ji Qiubai sighed softly and said, "I'm not afraid that Your Majesty will laugh, when I traveled in the empire before, I did like a beautiful woman, but I regret that I just passed by her after all, and this life is over." At present, I haven't completely let go of this dusty past, and I don't want to find another good match, so as not to delay the girl from a good family. ”

Ji Qiubai's words were sincere, implicit but not revealed, and the expressions of the people present changed when they heard it, and they also felt a little sad in their hearts.

Su Wan didn't know why her heart was beating so fast, who was the woman in Ji Qiubai's mouth? It shouldn't be me...... After all, he once stood in front of him to express his heart, but he directly rejected it.

The old emperor smiled with interest and said, "Which girl can have such an honor?" The king might as well come out, and I may be able to marry you. ”

Ji Qiubai's eyes darkened, he raised his head and smiled: "Don't bother Your Majesty, my crush has already married another woman now." ”

The beautiful women present were originally full of longing, but after listening to Ji Qiubai's words, their expressions changed, and there was more sympathy in their eyes when they looked at this beautiful man.

The old emperor sighed, casually said two words of consolation and relief, and then bypassed the topic and called for a song and dance performance, as if nothing had happened just now.

Su Wan's mind under the audience was quite unquiet, and he had been contemplating the meaning of Ji Qiubai's words. Xiao Mochen was unhappy in his heart, and suddenly held Su Wan's hand and said, "If Wan'er is not interested in singing and dancing performances, you might as well accompany me to a place." ”

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and asked blankly, "Where to go?" ”

Xiao Mochen smiled but didn't answer, and gently picked up Su Wan, although Su Wan was puzzled, he was also obediently led by him, and walked out of the door from the side of the aisle.

The attention of the guests present was attracted by the lively song and dance performance, and no one noticed the two ethereal figures who had secretly left, except for someone sitting on the high platform.

Ji Qiubai slowly raised the wine glass and took a sip gently, his long eyes still staying in the direction where Su Wan left.

As soon as he went out, a cold air rushed towards him, which stimulated Su Wan and couldn't help but shrink his neck. Xiao Mochen smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to take the shawl handed by the maid, tied his heart for Su Wan, and gently held her face with his hand and said, "Is it still cold?" ”

Feeling Xiao Mochen's infinite thoughtfulness, coupled with the fact that he was so intimate with him in front of everyone, Su Wan had already blushed, where did he still feel cold?

Xiao Mochen took Su Wan's hand and said softly: "It's cool at night, I won't take you to ride a horse, let's walk to the river together." ”

Su Wan was a little curious, raised his head and asked, "What are you doing by the river?" ”

Xiao Mochen helplessly reached out and hooked the tip of Su Wan's nose, and said, "Look at your memory, didn't I take you to see the lanterns early in the morning?" ”

Su Wan felt a sweetness in her heart, smiled and rubbed her nose, but did not answer.

"I asked Gu Wu to take Xuan'er to the market to look for food first, and then go to the boat building by the river to wait for us, they should have arrived a long time ago." Xiao Mochen picked up Su Wan and walked forward a little faster.

When dealing with things related to Su Wan, Xiao Mochen is always so considerate and thoughtful.

The crowds on the street are getting more and more lively, because soon it is auspicious, and the boat building is about to depart for the annual excursion to the Luohua River. Now the river is full of lotus lanterns, the breeze blows, and the lotus lanterns rise and fall, as if floating in the vast night sky.

Su Wan looked at such a scene, and couldn't help but admire the exquisite skills of skilled craftsmen in his heart. A single lotus lantern is not special, but when it is lit up in a group in the river, it is a dreamlike beauty.

Xiao Mochen led Su Wan to the passage of the shipbuilding, and the officers and soldiers guarding immediately gave way, and said with a smile: "The prince came in time, and the auspicious time will arrive soon." ”

Xiao Mochen bowed slightly, pulled Su Wan to board the boat, and then looked at her with a smile and said, "Wan'er, you might as well look back." ”

Su Wan looked back in confusion and was stunned.

The huge ship moved slowly, with long water marks on the stern of the ship, and countless flickering lotus lamps scattered on both sides, as if separating a road where fire lotus bloomed, which was beautiful.

Such a view can only be seen from a specific position at the stern of the boat. Su Wan's heart was full of shock, and he leaned on the railing of the boat and said in surprise: "It's so beautiful here!" ”

"Wan'er, I have always liked this kind of scenery, and I originally thought that I must bring my favorite woman to see it in the future." Xiao Mochen gently hugged Su Wan from behind, and said in a low voice: "Today, I finally got my wish." ”

Su Wan was overjoyed by this sugar-coated cannonball, but she still said angrily: "You have never been serious, and you have been thinking about things with beautiful girls in the future when you are young." ”

Xiao Mochen also smiled and said, "Blind, I didn't have such a good imagination before, knowing that my princess is so beautiful that people forget to see it." ”

Su Wan's heartbeat showed two beats, and he suddenly said, "I want to ask you something." ”

"But it doesn't matter." Hearing Su Wan's sudden solemn tone, Xiao Mochen was a little strange, turned Su Wan in his arms around, looked at her head-on, and asked with a smile.

Su Wan looked pensive, tilted his head, and said, "Now that you have four wives and concubines in the attached middle school, how many more are you going to marry in the future?" ”

Xiao Mochen was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Su Wan was concerned about what Ji Qiubai had said at today's dinner, and used the same question to test his attitude.

"Wan'er, although there are many factors that you can't help yourself, I can also assure you that you will be a couple for a lifetime." Xiao Mochen sighed leisurely, took Su Wan's hand, gently put it on his chest, and said with a smile.

Su Wan's eyes darkened, and he said, "What if my father points you a few new ones?" You haven't met someone you like yet, and if you meet a like-minded and good-looking woman in the future, you won't ......"
