"I happened to get a three-color moonflower grass. I rarely come to Xianyang, so I brought it here to give it to the Mu family. It can be said that I have found the best owner for this exotic grass."
Qingyang Hou waved to the door, and an attendant came in holding a flower pot made of clay and white stripes.
There is a green plant in the pot, half a foot tall, divided into three stems, slender and delicate.
The most amazing thing is that the moon-like halo of light circulates throughout its body, making it appear to be something other than an ordinary thing at first glance.
"This three-color moonflower grass is the most interesting at night. It can pull the moonlight around the three main stems and slowly rotate, just like the bright moon falling into the world." Qingyang Hou introduced.
Mu Yangjing was born in the Shennong clan and was used to seeing strange flowers and plants. She only glanced at them briefly without any emotion.
However, her cold eyes also showed a little brilliance, and she obviously liked the three-color moonlight.
However, Mu Yangjing was very thoughtful and Qingyanghou came to deliver gifts. Combined with his status as an envoy from Qi, it was not difficult to guess his purpose.
If you take something from someone else, you have to help them out.
Mu Yangjing was about to refuse, but Zhao Huaizhong said: "I also like this pot of plants. Why don't you give it to me, Lord Marquis?"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and as Zhao Huaizhong, since he had opened his mouth, he could not allow him to refuse, and said: "It is the honor of this Three Colors Moon Flower to win the favor of the Crown Prince.
If you all don't mind, I should give it to you as a gift."
Zhao Huaizhong was not polite at all and signaled Liu Qi, the toolman behind him, to come forward and move the pottery basin over.
Lao Ai sat next to Qingyang Hou with a wizened look on her face, silently watching Zhao Huaizhong's operations, but she couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
Zhao Huaizhong asked Sancai Yuehua to leave precisely because he saw that Mu Yangjing liked it very much, so he asked to go there, so that Mu Yangjing would not have to accept Qingyang's favor from Jiang Yu.
Lao Ai guessed that after they left, Zhao Huaizhong would transfer the three-color moonlight to Mu Yangjing.
He understands women's thoughts so well and thinks about Mu Yangjing.
Qingyang Hou's pot of three-color moonflower is equivalent to helping Zhao Huaizhong make a wedding dress.
Lao Ai was also a master at flirting with girls. Seeing Zhao Huaizhong's intention, she immediately lamented, feeling that for an otherworldly woman like Mu Yangjing, she might not have much hope.
He subconsciously raised his head to look at Jiang Ji, only to see Zhao Huaizhong's somewhat playful eyes waiting there. As if he had guessed his mental activities and was about to look up at Jiang Ji at this moment, he happened to meet his gaze.
Lao Ai was so frightened that when she met Zhao Huaizhong, she was completely at a loss.
"When I came to Xianyang this time, I also prepared gifts for the prince. Since the prince is here, I might as well give the gifts to the prince as well." Qingyang Hou said slowly.
"Master Hou is too kind."
Zhao Huai's expression was calm and calm.
"It's not a very precious thing. I have a girl in Linzi named Yan Huansha. She is good at dancing, so I gave it to the prince as a maid. It is also her honor." Qingyanghou's eyes were bright.
This prince is very evil and gives women to the prince at will... Jiang Ji thought with wide eyes.
Zhao Huai was thinking that you gave me a woman in front of Jiang Shu and Mu Yangjing. This was a sub-question.
The crown prince of Zhao spoke righteously: "While I was a hostage in the State of Zhao, I had to do many things that I had no choice but to do and let down the years. After I returned to Xianyang, I always warned myself that I should reflect on myself.
Mr. Hou’s kindness can only be accepted with heart.”
Zhao Huaizhong not only rejected Qingyang's move to send the woman away, but also changed his character.
Jiang Yan's green little hands gently twisted the corners of her clothes under the table. She glanced at Zhao Huaizhong with the unique agility and beauty of a girl. She felt happy for some unknown reason.
Qingyang Hou smiled and suddenly asked:
"Does the prince know that something unusual happened in Xianyang last night?"
Finally he couldn't help but test it out... Zhao Huaizhong didn't even blink, as he met Qingyang Hou's burning gaze:
"What is the abnormal thing, Mr. Hou, referring to?"
Qingyang Hou felt disappointed. Zhao Huaizhong reacted naturally and did not even dodge his eyes for a moment.
His temptations yielded nothing.
Thinking about the robbery last night, Qingyang Hou felt restless. He chatted with Zhao Huaizhong and Mu Yangjing, who was cold-looking, and stood up to leave. He could not even tell the purpose of visiting Mu Yangjing.
After leaving Xuangu Academy with Lao Ai, Qingyanghou went straight back to Jingqian Palace where Da Qin arranged for the envoys to live.
————
When Zhao Huaizhong left Huacaoju, the sky was completely dark.
He did not return to Xianyang Palace, but came to Yeyu Mansion again.
"The Yue Nu Cult and Qingyang Hou broke up on bad terms last night. Now each other has sent people to closely monitor each other. Should we take action?"
The person who asked the question was Mu Qingkong, who was wearing a light blue gown and spoke softly.
Xia Xin, who was tall and strong, stood beside him.
As the deputy director of the Ye Yu Dynasty, Baiyao had a lot to deal with. Zhao Huaizhong's next plan was led by Mu Qingkong and Xia Xin to implement it.
"Go and bring this person back." Zhao Huaizhong nodded lightly.
————
After Lao Ai came out of Huacaoju, she came to Xiao Qin Building again.
There was a dull atmosphere in the air, and a steady drizzle fell from the sky.
Xiying, dressed in red, sat by the window, her straight back highlighting her majesty, and her pretty face full of melancholy.
Like Qingyang Hou, Xiying stayed up all night, thinking over and over about what happened last night.
She saw Lao Ai walking into the courtyard where she lived in Xiao Qin Building from outside, and said without surprise: "Qingyang Marquis asked you to be a lobbyist, asking if what happened last night was done by my Yue Women's Cult?"
?”
Lao Ai cheered up and said: "Jiang Hou cannot be blamed for this matter. If he loses the gains from the secret palace, he will definitely be held accountable by King Qi when he returns."
Xiying suddenly said: "In your opinion, is it possible that someone from Qin did it?
In the past year, Qin Chu Zhao Huaizhong has taken control of Ye Yu Mansion, and his reputation has spread throughout the six countries. This is the place of the Qin people."
Zhao Huaizhong... Lao Ai subconsciously denied Xi Ying's guess:
"It can't be Zhao Huaizhong. Although Ye Yufu is strong, it cannot predict the enemy ahead and grasp the time and route of your actions."
Xiying was upset, and her thoughts were wavering: "What you said makes sense. If you say that what happened last night was done by Zhao Huaizhong or the Qin people, it doesn't make sense in many places. It's too forced."
Lao Ai showed a smile: "The Marquis said that the people he brought to Da Qin this time were all dead soldiers. No one would betray Da Qi's interests, and what happened last night was not their fault."
Xiying sneered and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable. If Lord Hou could really see through people's hearts, he wouldn't have wronged me."
Lao Ai then started chatting with Xi Ying.
Unfortunately, the two of them chatted for a long time, and Xiying insisted that the robbery last night had nothing to do with the Yue Nu Cult.
Lao Ai had no choice but to see the night getting darker, so she said goodbye and left.
After he left, Xiying blew out the oil lamp, put on her clothes and lay on the couch, opening her clear eyes in the darkness, thinking silently.
Gradually, Xiying felt sleepy.
"Why are you so sleepy..."
She suddenly felt a little alert, but her eyes were as thick as glue, and she quickly closed them and fell asleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, ghostly shadows appeared in the darkness, like ghosts.
A total of five shadows pulled hard, and Xiying's sleeping body was quietly carried, dragged into the depths of darkness, and disappeared from the room.
The alley opposite Xiao Qin Building is in darkness.
Xia Xin looked at Mu Qingkong and said with envy:
"Your dreaming technique combined with the Five Ghost and Hell Techniques is really powerful. If you target a girl and put her to sleep, she will think that she has had a sweet dream and you are playing with it in vain. If she sees you in the future
, and will think you are the man of her dreams."
Mu Qingkong said angrily: "When we complete the tasks assigned by the Crown Prince, you and I will have a battle."
Xia Xin said seriously: "I suddenly remembered something. When I went to bed last night, I dreamed that you appeared in my dream and wanted to be happy with me.
Tell me the truth, are you coveting my yang body and sneaking into my dreams in the middle of the night with evil intentions?"
Mu Qingkong was suddenly inspired:
"You are right, I will let a horse enter your dream tonight and have fun with you. Clean yourself up and get ready." After saying this, he walked away lightly.
Xia Xin's expression changed drastically, and she quickly caught up with Mu Qingkong: "Hey, I was just talking casually."
Mu Qingkong shook his head: "Let's wait for the horse tonight!"
Xiying opened her eyes drowsily from her deep sleep, and immediately became alert and found that the surrounding environment was unfamiliar.
She turned over and saw a young man sitting opposite, surrounded by people. She was shocked and blurted out: "Who are you?"
