Yuelan Inn, backyard. A Juechen woman sits quietly on a stone bench.
Xia Xifeng walked to the door of Yuelan Inn and walked into the inn. A boy quickly walked up to him, nodded and bowed. It was already dead of night, and the boy led Xia Xifeng to the backyard with a tired look on his face.
"Please." The boy stood in front of the backyard door, gestured, and then stepped back.
Xia Xifeng glanced indifferently at the person wearing a black cloak sitting in the courtyard. Looking at the figure, she was a little thin, more like a woman. Xia Xifeng walked over, but did not get too close, and stopped not far from her.
He asked indifferently: "I don't know why you invited me here."
Xia Xifeng didn't get an answer for a while, so she raised her head and glanced at this cold figure. Why is it so familiar?
The man in the black cloak slowly turned around, with a hint of indifference in his eyes, and smiled softly: "Just catching up on old times."
When Xia Xifeng heard the words, she felt so familiar, it was her voice.
"Why is it you?" Xia Xifeng's eyes showed a trace of surprise, and then he immediately stepped forward and took her hand. Her hand was frighteningly cold.
Yao Muzixi just smiled faintly, feeling sad and looking at the sky without saying a word.
Xia Xifeng covered her hand, not knowing how hard it was, and felt sorry for the woman in front of her: "Why is it you? I don't know. It's such a cold day, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, why bother running so far.
"
"I want to go back to Yao Lan Country and take a look at my father, but I feel uneasy. I always feel like something is going to happen, and I feel so panicked." Yao Muzixi's face showed a hint of fatigue, and she looked a little excited.
Xia Xifeng pulled her into his arms, caressed her back, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll ask you if there's anything you need first, and then I'll make a decision."
"I want you to help me and send me back to Yao Lan Country, okay?" Yao Muzixi looked at him with eyes full of expectation.
He lowered his eyes and looked into hers. His outline was reflected in her eyes, so clear, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
He looked at her hesitantly. Returning to Yao Lan Country was not just a matter of going back. First of all, if the princess and her bride invite themselves back to the country before three months have passed, they are either committing an unforgivable crime or the country where they are getting married is not well-received.
This is the intention of marrying the princess, but the princess is against the marriage.
Xia Xifeng thought for a while, neither of which was the current reality. How could the princess return to the country?
"Are you the boss behind Mufeng Pavilion?" Xia Xifeng suddenly thought of the woman's words and asked casually.
Yao Muzixi nodded lightly and said: "Yes, I asked Hua Tianze to acquire Mufeng Pavilion. I need to master the first-line information about my Yao Lan country so that I can have enough time to deal with what I have to do.
."
Xia Xifeng looked at her in confusion. How many secrets does she hide in her heart that I don't know about? I don't seem to understand her! Xia Guo and Yao Languo are getting married, and the pros and cons complement each other.
The marriage between Xia and Yao Lan will undoubtedly enhance the strength of the two countries. In addition, the emperor of Yao Lan is the son-in-law of King Jiang. But now, the prince of Jiang is pursuing the idea of Princess Yao Lan, and it stands to reason that the prince of Jiang should be Yao Muzi
Xi's uncle, although they are only two years apart. But the seniority is in front of him. For what purpose, Prince Jiang wants to take advantage of his sister's daughter?
Furthermore, Yao Muzixi seems not to know about this Prince of Jiang Kingdom, nor her relationship with him. Everyone knows that Jiang Kingdom and Yao Lan Kingdom are close countries, and from this point of view, the relationship between the two countries does not seem to be good.
Where is the problem?
In addition, Yao Languo's assassins have been coming to assassinate the princess. As a result, the inside story of Yao Languo seems to have become more interesting, and Yao Muzixi's worries are not unreasonable.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Yao Muzixi shrank into Xia Xifeng's arms. Xia Xifeng subconsciously hugged her tightly, feeling that his warmth could warm her. He smiled knowingly, if he could stay here forever
For a moment, that would be such a beautiful thing.
"Can you play music? I remember the sound of the hookah. It was really beautiful and gave me a long-lost sense of intimacy." As Yao Muzixi said this, she escaped from Xia Xifeng's arms. The black cloak on her body fell into the air.
It accidentally fell down, revealing the brocade robe with cold plum blossoms and proud snow.
"This brocade robe is really beautiful! It's even better when paired with you." Xia Xifeng walked over, picked up the cloak on the ground for Yao Muzixi, and gently put it on her.
"Xixi did it for me. Xixi's hands are so skillful." Yao Muzixi's eyes flashed with a glint, and his smile attracted attention.
The next day, when Yao Muzixi got up, he saw a letter left on the table in his room. It was a letter from Xia Xifeng, which he left behind:
If you have something urgent to do, leave first. Xia Xi Fengbi
Yao Muzixi felt a little cold in her heart when she read the letter. A faint feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.
Xixi carried a bowl of bird's nest porridge, walked to Yao Muzi's room, put it on the table, and saw the letter left by Xia Xifeng. She turned to look at the princess sitting in front of the dressing table. She seemed to have nothing on her mind.
Eating porridge cooked by oneself!
Xixi walked up to Yao Muzixi and gently took the jade comb from Yao Muzixi's hand. She smiled secretly and said: "The princess is born to be a beauty, so let me comb her hair into a beautiful bun."
Yao Muzixi let go and let Xixi play with her three thousand black hair. After a while, a simple and elegant bun was combed. Xixi chose a pearl flower and brought it to Yao Muzixi, and said with a smile:
"The princess is so beautiful, no matter what, she is a beauty."
Yao Muzixi just casually took the beaded flower on her head down by her sleeves. Xixi held her mouth shut and ran over to pick it up. Yao Muzixi took a look and said calmly: "If Xixi likes it, just take it and use it yourself."
Come on! I don’t like to bring these, they are complicated and difficult to understand.
Xixi quickly wiped the beaded flower carefully and handed it to Yao Muzixi's eyes, saying: "This can't be done. This is a gift from the emperor to the princess on my 17th birthday. The princess likes it so much! How can I be so embarrassed?
receive."
"Father gave it to me? That's fine, just stay here. Xixi, let's go see Hua Gong. I wonder if he's awake." Yao Muzixi said and glanced outside the door.
Xixi quickly took the bowl of bird's nest porridge that had been filled, brought it to Yao Muzixi, and said softly: "Last night, the princess said she wanted to drink the bird's nest porridge I cooked. Xixi started cooking it for you, princess, early in the morning.
Now that it’s cooked, the princess might as well drink it and go see the playboy.”
Yao Muzixi seemed to have remembered this, smiled, picked up the bowl in Xixi's hand, and drank.
Xixi watched Yao Muzixi finish drinking, smiled with satisfaction, and asked the servants to take away the bowls and chopsticks.
After Yao Muzixi finished drinking, she walked out the door, heading to the west wing. When she came to Hua Tianze's door, Ouyang Haonan sat there with a tired look on her face.
Seeing Ouyang Haonan's appearance at this moment, Xixi felt a little distressed, so she took off her brocade robe and gently put it on Ouyang Haonan's shoulder.
"Shh!" Yao Muzixi gestured to Xixi, and Xixi stepped aside indifferently.
