The owner of the wonton stall weighed the gold chain in his hand, and while cleaning up the wonton fillings on the stove, he casually looked at Mu Yunting and Xu Lianyi who were standing in front of him, thinking that the two in front of him were probably rich people, and there was no one in the alley at night, so it was better to take advantage of this good time to make a fortune.

"I said two, the color of this chain is not quite right, I'm afraid it's not real gold, right? ”

Mu Yunting knew that such a thing as exchanging a gold chain for wontons to eat was indeed like a means of some small people in the market, and it was normal for him to be wary, but he really couldn't find any cash at the moment, so he turned his head and looked at Xu Lianyi with a wry smile, and wanted to say something, but saw the wonton stall owner pull out a knife from under the board, and saw that he was only two or three inches away from Mu Yunting.

Seeing that the wonton stall owner's skills don't look like a killer, even the knife in his hand is a cow ear sharp knife used when chopping meat filling, Mu Yunting's mind is on Xu Lianyi, and he is also sideways at the moment, and he doesn't notice the dangerous approach. Xu Lianyi's angle happened to see all the boss's movements, and she only had time to remind her.

"Be careful!"

After pulling Mu Yunting to stand farther away, Xu Lianyi directly took the warm hot on the stove and splashed it to the boss. The wonton stall owner was naturally grinning because of the boiling soup, and Mu Yunting grabbed Xu Lianyi's hand and quickly escaped. waited until he reached another street corner before stopping, took Xu Lianyi in his arms and asked softly.

"It's okay, right? Now that I'm pregnant, why don't I pay attention to anything, as long as I don't get hurt, why bother to fight with him, and have to serve the pot with boiling soup?"

As he spoke, he took Xu Lianyi's right hand and looked at it carefully, but the fingertips were a little red, but there was nothing serious, so he brought it to his lips and blew it lightly before carefully avoiding the injury and holding it.

Xu Lianyi laughed when she saw his cautious appearance, thinking about Fang Cai, if it weren't for his whole heart on himself, how could he not find the boss's knife. Looking up at him, a plain silver begonia in his hair was brightened by the candle flame on the street, and his voice was exceptionally clear.

"Didn't I look at the knife too close to you and be anxious for a while, where can I care if the pot is hot or not, but don't worry, the burns on the boss's body will definitely be much more serious than mine, and I don't think I will come out again for ten days and a half months." It's you, why don't I even care about the knife when I'm by your side?"

Looking at the coquettish appearance of his beloved, Mu Yunting's heart was soft, and because of what happened just now, he tightened his arms and hugged the person tighter, and replied in a low voice.

"When you are there, you naturally can't take care of anything else, even if there are knives in the sky, I don't think I can dodge it. But I'll protect you no matter what, and with you by your side, I won't get hurt. So Lianyi, for our safety, you must always be by my side. ”

No matter which girl hears such soft love words, she will blush when she hears them, and Xu Lianyi is naturally no exception, gently patting Mu Yunting's chest and laughing.

"What fallacies...... Now that I have your flesh and blood, where can I run away without you? In another hour, the sky will be dawn, how are we going back to the palace?"

Mu Yunting took out two waist cards from his arms and handed one of them to Xu Lianyi.

"This is the waist card of the palace guards and palace maids, and there are often late nights to buy some things, as long as you have this waist card to determine your identity, you can go back. ”

It turned out that his plan was so thorough, and even how to return to the palace quietly had already been planned, Xu Lianyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and rested for a while before going back with Mu Yunting. When I saw the palace gate, it was almost dawn.

There were two guards guarding in front of the palace gate, and they were the two guards who had seen Mu Yunting's embarrassed appearance before. Mu Yunting didn't speak, first took out the guard's waist card and handed it to the guard, and Xu Lianyi also handed out the waist card.

The guard looked at the two of them as he checked his waist card, remembered what he was talking to the guard who was guarding with him.

"Brother, do you remember the last time Hanako was going to enter the palace? ”

The other guard nodded, laughed along, and pushed open half the door as he handed the cardboard back to them, and said with some impatience in his mouth.

"Go in, go in, remember to come back early next time. ”

After entering the palace gate, Xu Lianyi noticed that Mu Yunting's face was wrong, and knew that the person who was going to enter the palace was actually him. It's all for her. I couldn't help but make jokes.

"I didn't expect you to be stopped from entering the palace, or because of your appearance and clothing. Speaking of which, it's still strange that those guards don't know Taishan and don't recognize you. ”

Speaking of which, he Mu Yunting is also the king of a country, where would he make such a joke in the past, pretending to be angry, pinching Xu Lianyi's cheek, and replied in a deep voice.

"Don't talk about it, or you won't want to eat your favorite snack again. ”

Since she was pregnant, Xu Lianyi's appetite has not been very good, only the ones she likes to eat on weekdays can barely eat, and when she heard that her favorite dim sum was about to be eaten, she quickly pulled Mu Yunting's sleeve and apologized. Fang Cai laughed at him just pretending to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he felt sorry for the sacrifice he made for himself.

In Weiyang Palace, Qiao Jingyuan wore plain clothes and took off hairpins to plead guilty, but Xu Lianyi bypassed her and walked into the inner hall without seeing it. She didn't believe that Qiao Jingyuan didn't know the consequences of spreading rumors, so she wouldn't forgive her so easily.

Speaking of which, the rumor that Xu Lianyi is not in the palace is still known to many people, although she doesn't care, but in order to eliminate the rumors, she still has to show up in front of everyone.

Seeing that it was still early, Xu Lianyi slept for a while, didn't get up until noon, drew a good makeup to make her look good, and went to see Mu Yunting first after lunch.

"A Miaojiang saintess actually wants to alarm so many people to greet her, the face is not small, I appeared at the banquet, and the rumors will be self-defeating. I've changed my clothes and painted my makeup, just waiting to come with you. ”

Mu Yunting was worried about Xu Lianyi's body, so he took her into his arms and stroked her lower abdomen, his tone soft.

"I'm going to work hard for you again, and I'll rest well when I get back. ”

After speaking, he took her hand and walked towards the main hall together, everything in the hall was properly arranged, today is the Miaojiang Holy Maiden entering Beijing, the ministers and family members of the court and the central government are all present, everyone looks at the emperor and queen to arrive together, and the welcome banquet begins. The maids standing at the door of the hall saluted one after another, and said in unison.

"Welcome the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang into Beijing. ”

As the voices of the maids disappeared, a woman in blue appeared in front of everyone, her clothes were not like the wide robe and big sleeves of Da Mu, but perfectly outlined her waist, and the silver jewelry around her waist was even more gorgeous.

She walked against the light, and when she entered the door, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, and it wasn't until she walked into the hall that she saw the appearance of this Miaojiang saint girl clearly, a pair of peach blossom eyes under her slender curved eyebrows, and the slight trembling of her eyelashes was reverie, and the blue clothes set off her mystery.

After Mu Yunting saw this holy woman standing still, he took the wine glass and got up and approached, it was a neighboring country to show his goodwill, although it was a holy woman, it was equivalent to an envoy, and the toast was also deserved. After stopping at the position of the holy woman two steps away, Mu Yunting raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled lightly.

"I heard that the girl is the saint of Miaojiang, and when I saw it today, it really deserved her name, since she planned to make friends between the two countries in the future, it was better to drink this glass of wine first to show her sincerity. ”

The saintess Liu Qionggui didn't answer, but just looked at the man in front of her fixedly, and from the time he came with a smile in his eyes, she was already deep in it. Just like that, I can't help but want to get closer, and I don't care where I am, so I just throw myself into my arms.

Liu Qionggui has practiced dancing for many years, and her body shape is well controlled, and she only stayed in Mu Yunting's arms for a short time before immediately standing up. Mu Yunting was even more surprised, and before he could react to what was going on, such a thing as throwing himself into his arms when he met for the first time would not happen in Damu, thinking that maybe it was Miao Jiang's etiquette, so he didn't refuse.

The people present naturally saw this scene, but no one dared to speak up about how this hug was defined. Liu Qionggui took the wine glass, her eyes still stayed on Mu Yunting, and she first drank the wine in the glass directly before answering.

"Liu Qionggui, the saint of Miaojiang, is fortunate to have a look at the scenery of Da Mu, and is willing to offer gifts on behalf of Miao Jiang and make friends with Da Mu. ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Yunting felt that the hug just now was just out of etiquette, and after nodding his head, he took a box from the palace maid beside him, and immediately opened it to show her.

"Miao Jiang's attainments in silver and silver jewelry are higher than those of Da Mu, but the carving of jade is slightly inferior, this is a pair of jade Ruyi made by the craftsmen in the palace, and it was given to the saint as a return gift. Today, a banquet was prepared for the saint to receive the wind and wash the dust, and the saint was invited to sit down first. ”

After speaking, Mu Yunting made a gesture of please, but Liu Qionggui obviously did not intend to sit down directly, but looked back at the two musicians accompanying him, and then said softly.

"Miao Jiang is not only good at production, but also good at dancing, and today he will dance for His Majesty. ”

came to make the initiative to say that he wanted to dance, and Mu Yunting was not easy to refuse.

"It's a rare pleasure to see the saint in dance. ”

Nodding his head, he instructed the palace maids around him to retreat farther away so as not to affect the saint's dance, and after returning to his seat, he studied softly with Xu Lianyi, who was a little sleepy beside him.

"This Miao Jiang's etiquette is really strange, the first time we meet, we have to throw myself into my arms. ”

Xu Lianyi lowered her head and sorted out her clothes, picked up the tea that had been specially replaced in the wine glass, took a sip, and said with some vinegar.
