Today, Mu Zhiyu and Magpie were only dressed in simple clothes, and at the door of the Seven Fragrance Pavilion, looking at the swarming guests, they felt even better than expected.

According to the modern recipes and wine recipes provided by Mu Zhiyu, the delicious food and wine brewing delicacies prepared have attracted many guests.

In the lobby on the first floor, the guests came in an endless stream, looking at the lively crowd inside, but there was no crowding at all, the clerks were orderly to entertain the guests, it can be seen that Ling Qi They are well-trained and have too high requirements for them, only in this way can the guests feel comfortable and comfortable, and business will naturally improve.

There are four screens in the center of the lobby, and there is a melodious and beautiful piano sound from inside, which makes people feel as if they are in a fairyland, abandoning a qiē annoyance and only indulging in this relaxing and beautiful melody. Watching the guests drink the wine in their hands, their eyes unconsciously drifted straight to the direction of the screen, and the intoxicated and hazy eyes showed their recognition of this place. I have to admit that that woman's piano skills are superb, and I don't know where Ling Qi found such a talented courtesan.

The smile on the corner of Mu Zhiyu's mouth showed that she was in a good mood now, and what made her most relieved was that the people around Murong Lingche were extraordinary, no, it should be said that she was under her now.

The magpie's eyes were opened to the unique style of the Seven Spice Pavilion and the whimsy she had never seen before, she had never seen a shop with such a thriving business as here, and what made her proudest was that this qiē was the credit of her young lady.

The scene on the first floor made Mu Zhiyu very satisfied, and the second floor was mainly set up with a scholarly atmosphere, and the four walls were hung with poems by famous ancient writers, all of which were copied by Mu Zhiyu in different fonts, and people of this era had never heard of these literati, and it also cast a layer of magic on the Qixiang Pavilion.

In addition to the poems, there are also Danqing, famous painters on the Qianxu Continent, all of which were bought by Ling Qi and them at a great price, and they are hung here for the exchange and study of students in the Imperial City, and they can only be appreciated, not taken out.

Here, in addition to appreciating poems and paintings, there is also a question for them to answer every day, the subject is not limited, or poems are composed according to the proposition, or scientific examination questions, and those with excellent grades will get the most famous and expensive wine pot in the store for free as a reward, and they can also get the qualification to be recommended to the imperial court by the highest authority of the Qixiang Pavilion. All of a sudden, the mysterious identity of the Seven Fragrance Pavilion Pavilion Master attracted people's attention.

Mu Zhiyu passed by the second floor and saw the strong literary atmosphere inside, and a faint smile appeared on his face. In this way, not only will the wine business do well, but real talents will be selected from it, and they will be the mainstay of the court in the future.

After looking at it for a while, he whispered to the magpie, "I'll go up and wait for you, you go and tell the shopkeeper to bring me the account book, I want to see the performance of the Seven Fragrance Pavilion in the past half month." ”

A room on the top floor of the Qixiang Pavilion was dedicated to Mu Zhiyu's rest, and was decorated according to her joyful design.

The overall feeling is as if you are in a natural environment, with emerald green foliage hanging from the beams and a small bed placed in the back for leisure time. There are various varieties of potted flowers and plants on both sides of the doorway, and there is a large kang by the window, on which a table is placed to sit on and drink tea, which is more casual and convenient.

The elegant but atmospheric room layout makes people feel refreshed, sitting at the table, sipping tea, slender hands constantly flipping through the account book in their hands, and a smile appears on their faces from time to time.

In a private room on the third floor, a man in an ink-colored shirt looked at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed, as if there was endless melancholy.

Chuan Xiang stood aside respectfully, looking at the melancholy between Shui Mo Xuan's eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "Prince, what is the emperor's opinion?" ”

Standing up, he walked to the candlestick on the side, slowly put the letter in his hand on it until it burned to ashes, and then slowly spoke, "Father agreed to a deal with Emperor Ziling..."

Ten days ago, Shui Mo Xuan officially sent an envoy to Ziling Kingdom as the prince of the Water Kingdom, and entered the palace to meet the Ziling Emperor Murong in shock.

This time, the prince of the water country came on behalf of the emperor of the water country, intending to reach a good alliance with the Ziling Emperor between the two countries.

After reading the secret letter written by the Water Emperor, Murong was shocked to remember what the Prime Minister had said before, and decided to make a deal with Shui Mo Xuan, "The prince has been tired all the way, I have set up a banquet in the imperial garden for you to wash the dust, and I will talk about the covenant in detail later." ”

At the banquet, the dancers showed their exquisite dancing skills, countless delicacies on the table, and the prince of the water country was grandly received, showing the friendship of the Ziling country as a state of etiquette and other countries.

After the banquet, Murong Jinglan had a detailed discussion with Shui Mo Xuan alone in the imperial study, and after signaling everyone around him to go down, he solemnly spoke, "I am willing to make a good alliance with your country, but before that, I want to make a deal with the prince." ”

"I want to hear about it." Ink Xuan sat upright in his position, like the momentum of the king of a country.

"The prince is really refreshing. In that case, I'm going straight to the point. I heard that the Great Prince of your country betrayed the country a few months ago, and I intend to help you capture him, but on the condition that you help me get rid of Murong Lingche..."

Shui Mo Xuan was slightly stunned, although it has always been a well-known thing in the Qianxu Continent that Emperor Ziling and King Ling have always been brothers, but they have never openly declared a fight, I didn't expect Murong Ling's heart to be so vicious, no matter what, Murong Ling Che is also the brother of his mother's compatriots, and besides, King Ling is fighting for him outside, is it really not enough to tolerate meritorious ministers just because of a sentence of high merit?

The deep eyes looked at him carefully for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Emperor Ziling is really joking. It's just that this method of fratricide is too ridiculous. ”

"I didn't laugh. The crown prince has been tormented by Gu poison for many years, and must have hated your eldest brother to the core, and my brother has always been proud of his merits, and he does not take anyone in his eyes, and sooner or later he will subvert the monarchy. In this way, why not do this deal for me and the prince? ”

Shui Mo Xuan fell into deep thought, the water country was weak because of the collusion of the great prince with foreign enemies before, if he couldn't form an alliance with Ziling Guoshun this time, I am afraid that other countries would be eyeing him, and the consequences of offending Ziling Emperor would probably be even more severe. However, if he really agreed to get rid of Murong Lingche, how would he face the woman who was kind to him and made him deeply admire?

Another voice in his heart also kept saying, if Murong Lingche disappeared, that peerless woman would be his own......

And in the end, he can't make a choice, no matter what, he doesn't want to be a mean villain, how different is that from a big brother?

Therefore, I can only delay the time for the time being, and wait for the report to the water queen to make a decision......

Shui Mo Xuan watched the letter gradually burn to ashes, and his thoughts slowly returned to the present, sat back in his place, for a long time, and slowly spoke, his voice was low, "Father Emperor is not really allied with Ziling Kingdom, this move is just to temporarily stabilize the safety of the country. Dominating the Thousand Continents has always been my father's dream..."After a pause, he continued, "In my father's eyes, compared to Murong Lingche, Murong Jinglan is not afraid... I have to admit that Murong Lingche can make all the emperors of the Thousand Continent jealous. ”

"The prince doesn't seem to be happy..."Chuan Xiang couldn't understand, getting rid of Murong Lingche was not only beneficial to the great cause of the country, but also could get the woman he wanted in his heart, so why was he worried?

"This palace never wants to see the lives of the people in the world, and the ambitions of my father and even the monarchs of other countries will only bring war and chaos to the people. And I never thought to get her in this way..."

"The prince has a benevolent heart, Chuan Xiang understands. But what to do now? ”

"For today's plan, I can only promise Emperor Ziling first. As for the future, let's take one step at a time...", he picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and drank it all.

Mu Zhiyu closed the account book in his hand, stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and felt a little tired, every transaction on the bill was remembered very clearly, but it was all written in traditional characters, and it didn't look simple and time-saving with Arabic numerals, it seems that they will have to popularize this knowledge for them in the future.

Turning his head to look for the figure of the magpie, he found that she was asleep on the bed, and smiled lightly, have you been watching it for so long?

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flew in from the window, and the speed was so fast that people couldn't see it clearly.

When he stood respectfully in front of her, he saw that it was Ling Yi, who had always been dressed in black, and his handsome and cold face was even more cold, "Miss, please forgive Ling Yi for being abrupt and coming in this way without waiting for the summons, this move is just to hide people's eyes." ”

"I understand. But Ling Yi, can you not always be so restrained in front of me in the future, with a stiff face. Although in the eyes of outsiders, I am as cold and bloodthirsty as your prince, but to the people around me, I only treat you as family, just like a magpie, and you can usually talk and laugh with me. My sword is always aimed at the enemy, you know? ”

Ling Yi listened to her quietly, his heart was shocked, he never thought that the princess would treat them as family, all along, he only knew his mission as a secret guard, even if the prince never treated them as a person, he never forgot his identity, and today's princess's words made him deeply moved, and when he was stunned, he stared straight at the princess's face, and only after a while did he react, he found that he was rude, and bowed his head in a panic.

Mu Zhiyu looked at his expression just now and chuckled, "Ling Yi, you have to laugh more in the future, your prince's thousand-year-old ice cube face has changed slightly, and you don't have to pull your hind legs." ”

Ling Yi tried his best to resist the urge to laugh when he heard this, he didn't know that the princess still had such a humorous side, but the change of the prince was obvious.

"By the way, what are you looking for me?" Laughing, I almost forgot about the matter, could it be that Murong Lingche had any news?

"Miss, my subordinates don't know if you know about the envoy of the prince of the water country to the Ziling country?" Although the prince only needed to protect the princess's safety before leaving, and the other qiē were all according to the princess's requirements, he still remembered what the prince said, if her heart was in herself, then there was no need to worry, if there was no other in her heart, then it would be useless to prevent anyone. Although the prince said so, he still felt the need to tell Princess Sù of Shui Mo Xuan's true identity, after all, now she was his young lady, and he was still his prince.

"I have heard about this, and the prince of the water country went to the palace on the tenth day to face the saint, and has been living in the embassy since then. You have been busy secretly dealing with the affairs of the Seven Fragrance Pavilion, so I asked Jiang Yi to investigate, the prince of the Water Kingdom came this time to form an alliance with the Ziling Kingdom, as long as he is sure that his purpose will not endanger the prince, I don't care why he came. What, is there something going on? ”

Ling Yi was secretly happy for the prince in his heart, the princess thought about him in everything, it seemed that her worries were superfluous, "Miss, do you know that the prince of the water country is someone you know?" ”

Hearing this, she was stunned, and her confused eyes were curious, who did she know? She seems to know a lot of people here, I wonder who it will be? Wait, Prince of the Water Country, know for yourself... Could it be Ink Xuan?
