When Yin Moxuan returned to the study, he saw Wen Yanxiu already waiting inside. He didn't say anything when he came in. He just stared at him blankly, with unclear meaning in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you still need me in the coming days..."
"No need." Yin Moxuan interrupted him lightly, "Since I have returned the jade pendant to you, there is probably no point in continuing..."
Wen Yanxiu felt relieved and breathed out, but he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What is the prince's plan after that?"
Yin Moxuan sat down at the desk, then stroked his forehead and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I have already reached an agreement with her."
Although Yin Moxuan is not sure whether it is really done.
"Conditions?" Wen Yanxiu's eyes were full of interest, "What conditions did the prince agree to her?"
Even if he didn't know everything about Prince Xuan's personality, he at least understood 70% to 80% of it. When would he negotiate terms with someone, and besides, this person was still a woman.
There is a problem, there is a problem...
Yin Moxuan glanced sideways at him, and then an interesting smile appeared on his lips: "I heard that you were rejected by Nan'er's girl Xiaoyuan?"
"Uh!" Wen Yanxiu's expression changed, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He quickly stood up and said, "I just remembered that my father is still at home waiting for me to go back to discuss some things, so I left first."
After saying that, without waiting for Yin Moxuan to react, he disappeared into the study.
Looking at his back as he almost fled, Yin Moxuan smiled and shook his head.
De'an just told him this. He didn't expect that Bai Li would come up with such a trick. It really made people dumbfounded.
He could only express sympathy in his heart for this extremely tragic Wen Yanxiu.
However, for some reason, when he was sure that Bai Li was not interested in Wen Yanxiu at all, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief and excitement in his heart.
This feeling was unfamiliar, but he also enjoyed it very much.
That night, in order to take care of Bai Li who "could not get out of bed", Yin Moxuan moved Perfect into her room.
When Bai Li smelled the fragrant fish fragrance, his little face turned into a smile: "Wow, it smells so good! It smells so good! I want to eat fish!"
Looking at her snoring on the bed, Yin Moxuan's lips curved into a faint smile, his doting look clearly revealed.
Seeing Xiaoyuan about to help her get out of bed, Yin Moxuan's face darkened, and he strode towards her, saying as he walked: "Didn't the doctor say you can't get out of bed and walk around? You want to take the opportunity to rest for a few more days.
?"
As he spoke, he naturally bent down and picked up Bai Li, carried her to the table, and placed her firmly on the chair.
Bai Li was startled by his sudden movement, and her heart trembled slightly, but when she saw the table full of fish dishes, she had long forgotten the inexplicable feeling in her heart.
"There are so many fish!" Bai Li stared at the fish on the table with gleaming eyes, almost drooling. Then she raised her eyes and smiled sweetly at Yin Moxuan who was standing beside her, gave a thumbs up and said, "Speak.
The prince who tells the truth is a good prince!"
The tone of praise was extremely serious.
Yin Moxuan's mouth twitched slightly, he lifted up his clothes and sat down next to Bai Li.
The maids and servants waiting in the room looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes. This prince had never sat so close to anyone, not even their princess.
However, Yin Moxuan seemed not to notice anything wrong with his actions. After sitting down, he personally took a piece of fish for Bai Li and put it in her bowl: "Eat it."
The voice was obviously indifferent, but Bai Li was moved for a moment. He lowered his head to look at the fish in the bowl, and when he raised his eyes to look at Yin Moxuan, his eyes were shining and clear: "Your Majesty, you are so kind, I...
"
The rest of the words were swallowed back by Bai Li. Originally, she habitually wanted to say something like "I love you to death", but she realized something was wrong before she said it.
"What are you?" Yin Moxuan raised an eyebrow. She clearly had something to say.
"I...I eat fish." Bai Li lowered his slightly unnatural eyes, quickly picked up the piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fresh and delicious fish meat finally satisfied Bai Li's struggles in the past few days, and also made her inexplicable mood dissipate.
Smash it with your mouth, and sigh with satisfaction: "The life of big fish and big meat is really nourishing."
At this moment, Bai Li was really quite satisfied and comfortable. At this moment, Bai Li had also put behind him his dissatisfaction and complaints against Yin Moxuan in the past few days.
In fact, to be honest, Bai Li is very easy to be satisfied, and she can easily remember the kindness of a person. Even a small favor can make her cry bitterly.
To put it bluntly, she is a very nurturing person.
Yin Moxuan had obviously realized this, but because of this, his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched again.
This person is so simple and easily satisfied. Can he really let her go to the palace?
There are a lot of delicious and fun things in the palace, but if she turns her back and stays in there and doesn't want to come out, what will she do?
"Now, you eat too!" While Yin Moxuan was deep in thought, Bai Li quickly put a piece of fish meat into his bowl.
Yin Moxuan paused in his thoughts, turned around and looked at Bai Li in astonishment, and was stunned.
How long... how long has it been since someone picked up food for him while eating?
There is such a voice in my memory...
"Xuan'er, this is your favorite shrimp, please eat more."
"Xuan'er, eat some meat so that you can grow up quickly."
"Xuan'er..."
"Why don't you eat? Didn't Xiaoyuan say you eat fish?" Bai Li's slightly confused voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Yin Moxuan's memories.
He looked at Bai Li blankly, and saw that she was looking at him with a clear face, with doubts and a trace of worry in her eyes.
Did she see something?
"Hmm." Yin Moxuan calmed down, looked away, said "hmm" softly, and then ate the piece of fish.
The moment he swallowed the piece of fish, Yin Moxuan felt a soreness at the tip of his nose, and then a strange liquid slowly gathered in his eyes.
"You can eat it yourself first, I have something else to do." Yin Moxuan put down his chopsticks quickly, without even looking at Bai Li, he stood up and left.
It wasn't until Yin Moxuan's figure completely disappeared from the door that Bai Li recovered from his sudden departure.
Pointing at the door, he asked with a confused expression: "He...what's going on?"
"Xiaoyuan doesn't know either." Xiaoyuan shook her head, also looking confused.
"Damn it, he ran away like that. I still have something to ask him." Bai Li held his mouth, his face full of resentment.
On the other side, Yin Moxuan left Bai Li's room and strode away, almost as if he was running away.
He didn't know how long he walked before he stopped.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was in the garden that Jian Xinan had taken care of.
The aroma lingers on the tip of my nose, and insects buzz in my ears.
Yin Moxuan, dressed in a silver robe, stood among the flowers surrounded by the night, looking desolate and lonely.
He raised his head and saw a crescent moon hanging in the sky. Calculating the time, today is already the fifth day of September, which is exactly twenty days since Bai Li came to this era.
Although it sounds incredible that Bai Li comes from another era, Yin Moxuan still believes it. After all, he has not forgotten the three black spots falling from the blood moon that night.
One of them was this woman who wanted to touch him as soon as they met.
Thinking of this, the melancholy in Yin Moxuan's heart gradually disappeared, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's a coincidence that Bai Li caught him both times in his snake form.
As a half-human snake, he has a day when his spiritual power is weakest every year, and that day is August 15th, so on that night, he must absorb the essence of the moon in the form of a snake in order to maintain the spiritual power in his body.
For so many years, he had been able to get through that night smoothly with the help of Jian Xinan, but this year he had an accident. As for the accident, it was naturally Bai Li.
But now that I think about it, maybe this is really an arrangement from somewhere, or maybe she appears just to fulfill her wish for so many years.
Obtain the three-leaf blood lotus and become a real human being, and then avenge your mother and concubine.
When he thought of his mother-in-law, he thought of the piece of fish with chopsticks that Bai Li had just picked up for him, and the inexplicable sourness and liquid in his eyes.
There is warmth in my heart.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Yin Moxuan covered up the unknown emotions in his heart and secretly said: From now on, let's live in peace with her.
…
The next day, Bai Li looked at the fish breakfast and thought, has Yin Moxuan really changed his gender?
A few days ago, she was ordered to eat fish only once every five days, and Xiaoyuan also said that in order to prevent her from eating it secretly, no one in the house was allowed to buy fish, otherwise she would not have set her sights on the carp in the lotus pond.
, as a result, I ate so much fish last night, and today is another full-fish feast...
Did the emperor give him a salary increase?
Bai Li glanced at Yin Moxuan, who came to her room on time to have dinner with her, and wanted to ask him, how much salary increase did the emperor give you?
Yin Moxuan naturally knew that the head next to him kept turning towards him, but she didn't speak, so he didn't need to speak. Thinking of yesterday's scene, he still felt warm in his heart.
"Eat, I will take you out for a walk after breakfast." Yin Moxuan said quietly to the cat-like Bai Li.
"Ah, get out?" Bai Li thought she heard wrong, because not to mention that her feet were still in a state of "cannot get out of bed", Yin Moxuan's initiative alone was enough to surprise her.
Seeing Bai Li's stunned look, Yin Moxuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, don't you want to?"
"Think! Ten thousand, one hundred thousand!" Bai Li finally believed his ears and nodded hurriedly.
Looking at Bai Li who was so excited, Yin Moxuan frowned. Did she just want to go out? Isn't it good enough to live in his Prince Xuan's mansion?
