Chapter 70: Power

The annual Lotus Flower Festival arrived, Mu Xiaoxiao watched the people in the palace busy, and said strangely: "In the palace."

It's such a big place, what are you so excited about?"

The iris on the side said: "As the name suggests, this flower festival is to pick flowers by hand, and yes, this is held in the palace, and the people who come are the daughters of some royal relatives and nobles with heads and faces." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao was dressed in white, and she looked at the blooming flowers, pot by pot, looking very bright.

"What does this flower have to do with people?"

"It's for conveying the heart. For example, if the son of a family has a crush on the daughter of a particular family, he will pluck a flower and give it to the woman he likes. She smiled.

Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that the women in this harem were really idle and had nothing to do, and then looked at these ministers of the previous dynasty and those sons and brothers in brocade and silk, all of them seemed to be coming on a blind date, and there was a hormonal smell everywhere.

There is another meaning of the flower festival.

Because every family wants the glory of one lifetime, or even the wealth of several generations. But not all people have the opportunity to maintain this glory, so everyone thought of a way, and that is marriage.

The emperor can acquiesce in the development of such a thing, and naturally he has his thoughts. It seems to be very open and has the right to choose freely, but in fact, every couple here must get a holy decree from the emperor to get married, so that the marriage is legal.

The emperor's decree is not every couple that has a lover and eventually becomes married.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the shy girls around her, and looked at this side, the children of the family were also looking forward to it, and she was also a little curious: how did these people entrust themselves to people who had only met once.

The girls began to make poems, hung the finished poems on the red ropes that had already been tied, and then left their maiden names, and then walked to the women's resting area. And the men began to look back and forth at the good sentences on the red rope, and when they came across what they liked, they untied it, and then dropped their own small words on it, cut off a flower, and gave it to the maidservant together.

The game is very new, because the poems are personally reviewed by the emperor and the parties are allowed to refuse to marry. In this way, the list of all young ladies and sons of marriageable age is in the hands of the royal family, and to a large extent, the situation of forming gangs in private is avoided.

The ladies inside received the flowers, all of them smiled happily, only one of them was expressionless when they received it, and she even had a trace of disgust, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pay attention to her.

Xiaoxiang invited Mu Xiaoxiao to meet on the second day of the Lotus Flower Festival, and after Mu Xiaoxiao finished practicing martial arts, he asked Gao Zhao for leave, and then left the palace.

The place where Xiaoxiang was about was a big theater in Jingting, and when Mu Xiaoxiao entered, she was listening to the drama and was fascinated. A pink brocade skirt set off her face and became more and more ruddy.

"You're here?" she turned her head when she heard footsteps.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but sat on an empty chair next to her.

"Why did you call me here?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at her

"Do you know how that kid died?" Xiaoxiang said to her as he looked at the stage.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't want to think about that incident again, and her mention of it suddenly made her angry: "What are you going to do?" she yelled.

Xiaoxiang looked at her: "Don't help Gao Zhao anymore, otherwise the people around you will have to go through hardships one by one, why bother?"

"I didn't do things for him, I just did things for Jinguo!" Mu Xiaoxiao retorted.

"I'll say it again, don't check about the gold in the future!" Xiaoxiang finally turned his head to look at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao said nervously: "What do you want to do with the water you said last time、、、 you want to treat him?"

"Hahaha!" Xiaoxiang suddenly laughed out loud: "Are you still worried about this now?" she looked disdainful.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her: "What do you mean?"

The melodious and bitter voice of Tsing Yi on the stage with a playful wail made people feel cold in their hearts.

"I'm wondering if I'm going to let you know about it. Xiaoxiang looked sarcastic.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaoxiang who was smiling, didn't she say that she was still her best friend?

"Do you like to talk about it or not, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. After Mu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.

"Hibiscus has returned to Jinguo!" Xiaoxiang didn't look at her, and said lightly.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that she was playing tricks on herself, so she didn't say a word and walked out of the theater.

She was calm on the surface, but she was faintly worried inside.

She rolled over and rode her lightning bolt and ran back to the Sycamore Palace.

Coincidentally, Wufeng was also there, Mu Xiaoxiao saw him here, and did not greet him as usual, but asked directly: "Mu Hibiscus is here in Jinguo?"

Gao Zhao looked surprised, and Wufeng blurted out: "How do you know?"

As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao heard his words, she knew that it was true, she was a little angry, and she asked more questions: "Wufeng, how do you know?"

Wufeng was speechless for a while, and stopped answering her words.

"He came back at the time of the Flower Festival. Gao Zhao looked indifferent, as if he didn't see Mu Xiaoxiao's sadness.

"Where is he now?"

"Can't tell!"

"No wind, you say!" Mu Xiao turned to look at no wind.

Wufeng pursed his lips and did not speak.

Mu Xiaoxiao was really hurt, she thought everyone was a friend, she always thought it was! She hooked the corners of her mouth, showed a mocking smile, turned around and walked out of the Wutong Palace.

Back in her room, she fidgeted. After thinking about it, he shook the moon again and walked towards the palace gate.

Out of the palace, for the first time, she went to Luo Zhenwang's mansion alone.

When the guard at the door saw that it was her, he didn't know if she had been ordered, but he didn't stop her. A person who looked like a housekeeper saw her and said respectfully to her: "Master Mu, Madame, please go to the main hall, please." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao saw Xiaoxiang who was neatly dressed and instantly understood.

She told the big secret of the locust during the day, not to let herself know, but to deliberately let herself come here to find her. But what was her purpose? Let herself come here to find her? She kept speculating in her heart, and her face was nervous, and her emotions were all leaking out of her face.

"Haha, what are you nervous about?" she gestured to the seat next to her, "Sit!"

Mu Xiaoxiao suppressed the urgency in her heart and looked at her.

"Are they all reluctant to say where Mu Gongzi is?" Xiaoxiang sneered.

"How do you know so many things?" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't understand.

"This is the benefit of power, otherwise, why are most of the protagonists of novels written in our world the royal power and personal guards?" she patiently explained to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, she looked at Xiaoxiang: "What are you making such a big move for?"

"Naturally, I want to help my best friend!" she chuckled.

Mu Xiaoxiao saw her doing Tai Chi, not like she wanted to say it, so she smiled and said, "Madam, since you don't say it, then I'll leave first." She turned and walked out of the living room.

With a gust of wind, Xiaoxiang stood in front of her.

"What the hell do you want," Mu Xiaoxiao roared angrily.

Xiaoxiang looked at her: "Mu Xiaoxiao, are you okay with me?"

Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled, this was the first time that Xiaoxiang had called her by name and surname like this in this world.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiaoxiang added a fire and said: "The purpose of Mu Hibiscus coming this time is nothing more than marriage. ”

When Mu Xiaoxiao heard this, he was even more puzzled,

Xiaoxiang smiled: "I really don't know who the hibiscus is." But I know very well who he wants to marry!"

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little panicked in her heart: "Why are you talking nonsense in front of me? I won't believe you." After she finished speaking, she pulled out the moon.

"You hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings!" Mu Xiaoxiao's face was cold.

Xiao Xiang looked at the sword in her hand in amazement: "This is the moon, where is the evening star?"

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her: "You are really amazing, you know everything!"

Xiao Xiang smiled, and the jade Xiao in his hand pointed at her: "These rare weapons are recorded in the ancient books of Jinguo, and outsiders are easy to see, I naturally know about it by reading books often, let me see how powerful you are today!" As soon as the words fell, she flew towards Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao stiffened the carp, and then did a somersault to the back, Xiaoxiang was stunned, and then turned her wrist and attacked her neck, she turned her head sideways and restrained her hand.

"Isn't it good for us to live our own lives?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked helpless.

"As long as you don't help the prince, we can keep the well water from the river!" Xiaoxiang distracted Mu Xiao with a sweep of her legs, and she let go of her hand.

"I didn't help the prince!" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her.

"Don't meddle in the matter of gold, in the future, the two of us will return to the bridge and return to the bridge!" Xiaoxiang looked at her.
