Both worlds are like dreams

Seeing that Mo Xingyue was less drunk, Mo Ruilin went back to drinking with Wei Yunzhou, leaving Mo Xingyue alone watching Gu Qinglan pick up food for Xue Huang.

She wanted to compete with Xue Huang again, but because she drank too much, she felt sleepy and couldn't think of any tricks for a while.

At this time, Mo Ruilin's guard came to report that the second prince had arrived.

"Please let him in." Mo Ruilin stood up and looked at the person who walked in from the door. It was Mo Zhenyu.

Gu Qinglan stood up and saluted, Xue Huang also stood up, but Wei Yunzhou only had a look.

"No need to be so polite." Mo Zhenyu smiled and waved his hand for everyone to sit down. "I heard that my fifth brother was hosting a banquet here, so I hurried over. Fifth brother, you too, these people are my saviors, you should invite me to join you."

"I was negligent." Mo Ruilin quickly asked him to sit down and poured him a glass of wine. "I will apologize to my second brother first."

Mo Zhenyu took the wine glass and looked at Mo Xingyue who was standing on the table in a daze. He asked in surprise: "What happened to Xingyue?"

"Drunk." said Murilan.

Mo Zhenyu smiled helplessly, picked up the wine glass, and said: "Today I am borrowing my fifth brother's wine to express my gratitude to Qinglan and Guigu, the two benefactors. Thank you for saving me."

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Gu Qinglan said.

Mo Zhenyu drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Wei Yunzhou and found that his glass was still untouched. He smiled and said, "I've heard that Mr. Wei is an excellent swordsman. I still remember him vividly when I saw him that day. He is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Wei Yunzhou looked up and met his gaze without any expression.

Mo Zhenyu was not angry either. He knew that masters have tempers, so he remained polite. "Fifth brother is really smart and capable. Not only does he have Qinglan's help, but he also got to know such a master. I envy him so much."

"I envy my second brother. The guests in his house are all knowledgeable and talented." said Mo Ruilin.

"I'm afraid that all the guests in my house combined are not as good as my fifth brother." Mo Zhenyu said.

Xue Huang held her chin and glanced at Wei Yunzhou, thinking that Mo Zhenyu's visit today might not be just to express gratitude. As one of the most likely candidates to win the position of crown prince, Mo Zhenyu's strength in the court should not be underestimated, and he himself is quite strategic and highly valued by the emperor. However, if he wants to compete with the third prince and Shen Congfeng behind him, he naturally needs stronger strength.

Sure enough, after exchanging compliments with Mo Ruilin, Mo Zhenyu took out a brocade box and placed it in front of her.

"Miss Xuehuang, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng that I treasure in my house. It is very effective in healing wounds." Mo Zhenyu said.

"For me?" Xue Huang was slightly surprised.

"Exactly."

"You are too polite, Your Highness. My injury has healed."

"This is a small gift from me, please accept it."

"No merit, no reward," Xue Huang said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept any gift. However, I still thank you for your kindness." Xue Huang knew that he wanted to win over her and Wei Yunzhou, but she had no interest in the royal family disputes, so she declined directly. As for Wei Yunzhou, he had already made his choice, and he would not change it no matter what.

Mo Zhenyu smiled without saying anything. One of the uncle and nephew completely ignored him, while the other was polite and distant. I'm afraid they had already chosen their camp. He couldn't help but admire Mo Ruilin. In such a short period of time, he didn't know how he could make the masters of Guigu pay so much attention to him.

"Second brother, why are you so generous today? You didn't even give me the flowers in your house when I asked for them." Mo Xingyue's voice was drunken and sounded quite coquettish, which made the atmosphere at the moment much more relaxed.

"Miss Xuehuang saved my life, but you keep teasing me all day long. What's more, if any precious thing falls into your hands, not even ashes will be left in three days. Isn't it a waste?" Mo Zhenyu said.

Mo Ruilin took the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere, "Okay Xingyue, today's banquet is to thank Brother Wei and Miss Xuehuang. I haven't had enough wine yet, so how about not leaving until you're drunk?"

"Enjoy yourself?" A half-smiley voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, "How can I be left out of such a fun event?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Qinglan's brows slightly frowned, but she still didn't miss Xue Huang's eyes. She couldn't help but be curious about the person who came in, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know him?"

"The third prince." Gu Qinglan said in a low voice.

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows and looked at Mo Ruilin, only to see him standing up helplessly with a smile on his face, "Hello, Third Brother."

The third prince, Mo Yiming, walked in swayingly, "Oh, second brother is here too."

Mo Zhenyu did not stand up, but only said, "Third brother."

"You two are drinking here, why didn't you call me? Don't you consider me your brother?" Mo Yiming said with a smile.

Mo Zhenyu smiled but didn't say anything.

Mo Yiming's eyes swept through the crowd and finally fixed on Xue Huang. His eyes suddenly lit up, "Fifth brother, when did you meet such a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy?" He walked straight towards Xue Huang, his eyes firmly fixed on her, "Oh, I know, this beauty is the descendant of Guigu in the legend, right?"

Seeing him getting closer to Xue Huang, Wei Yunzhou felt a chill in an instant, but he did not stand up. Instead, he looked at Gu Qinglan standing in front of Xue Huang. "Greetings, Third Prince."

Seeing that he was blocking his view, Mo Yiming looked displeased, "Prince Gu is here too."

"Qinglan was invited by the fifth prince to attend the banquet here." Gu Qinglan said.

"Third brother, please take a seat." Mo Ruilin pulled Mo Yiming to sit in a seat far away from Xue Huang without leaving a trace, but Mo Yiming's eyes were always fixed on Xue Huang.

Xue Huang's eyes were filled with displeasure. This man's gaze was so annoying. She really wanted to beat him up! I had heard Luo Ning and Wei Yunzhou mention it before. This third prince usually liked to have fun. Although he was young, he had countless concubines and maids in the harem. Moreover, this person was usually arrogant and always liked to bully others. No wonder Mo Yunchen and Shen Congfeng chose him as a puppet to support him. He was indeed an idiot.

Mo Ruilin naturally knew what kind of person his third brother was, and knew that if he continued to look at him like this, he would probably be kicked out tonight. So he quickly diverted attention and arranged for everyone to drink, "Come on, this is the new wine brewed by Tianxiang Tower, called Huajianxue, third brother, come and try it."

Mo Yiming picked up the wine glass, but still looked at Xue Huang, "I want to toast the descendants of Guiguzi with this glass of wine."

Seeing that Mo Yiming was not restrained at all, Mo Ruilin winked at Mo Xingyue. Although Mo Xingyue was still a little sleepy, she immediately stood up and held Xuehuang's hand affectionately, "Sister Xuehuang, it's a bit stuffy here. Let them, a group of grown men, drink here. Can you accompany me for a walk?"

Gu Qinglan also looked at Xue Huang, motioning her to leave first.

Xue Huang was not afraid of the Third Prince at all, but she didn't want to ruin Mo Ruilin's business, so she stood up and walked out. However, as she turned around, the cup in front of her was covered with thick frost, and the porcelain shattered instantly.

After arriving at the door, Xue Huang followed Mo Xingyue to the top floor of Tianxiang Tower and looked at the long street with bright lights. The evening breeze blew, bringing the coolness of summer, which was very comfortable.

Xue Huang said calmly, "You have been hostile to me since you met me, why are you still helping me?" In fact, Xue Huang saw it as soon as Mo Xingyue entered the door. She cared about Gu Qinglan very much, so she kept making things difficult for her. However, this princess of noble status seemed to have a limited brain. And her mind was not bad, otherwise she would not have helped her out.

"I just don't accept you. It's not some deep hatred." Mo Xingyue was blown by the wind and the drunkenness disappeared instantly.

"If you don't agree, let's continue the competition."

"Of course I want to compete," Mo Xingyue raised her chin, "But... I can't think of what to compete with you for the moment."

"Unexpected?"

"I can't drink as much as you, and I certainly can't beat you in a fight. I don't know how to do anything else."

Xue Huang was very surprised, "You are Bei Ling's princess."

"What's wrong with a princess? Does a princess have to know everything?" Mo Xingyue rolled her eyes. "But don't be so proud. I just lost to you temporarily."

"So what even if you beat me?" Xue Huang asked puzzledly.

"I don't know either," Mo Xingyue leaned on the railing, "but I just can't accept it. My brother almost treats you as his own sister now. And Brother Lan, although he is gentle and polite to everyone, he always keeps his distance. But now he only has eyes for you."

"Really?" Xue Huang asked.

"You?!" Mo Xingyue said angrily. "Are you deliberately showing off to me?"

"No!" Xue Huang said with a smile.

Mo Xingyue looked at Xue Huang's clear and innocent smile and her eyes like the sea of stars, and immediately believed what Mo Ruilin said. This girl's smile was like the moon between the snow clouds on the mountain, making people unconsciously want to keep this smiling face.

Her appearance was also extremely beautiful, but at this moment she sincerely felt that the Snow Phoenix in front of her was so beautiful that she didn't seem like a mortal.

She was a little stunned.

"What a nice smell!" Xue Huang sniffed. "It smells like Fuling Cake."

"what?"

"Fuling Cake! Have you never eaten it?"

Mo Xingyue shook her head. "The maids around me won't let me eat outside food."

"Of all the things in the world, the only thing you cannot miss is delicious food. Do you want to try it?"

Mo Xingyue's eyes showed hope, but she still said stubbornly: "Don't try to bribe me."

"You can go or not. Anyway, the Poria cocos cake is sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky, shaped like a full moon, thin as paper, white as snow, soft as cotton, and tastes delicious." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"I don't believe it. Let's go buy it now. If it's not as delicious as you said, I will never forgive you." Mo Xingyue said and went downstairs.

Xue Huang grabbed her directly and said, "Hold on tight." Then she grabbed her arm, jumped up, and flew down from the roof.

I saw her walking on the moon in white clothes. The breeze blew up the flower petals and they swirled around her, like a goddess descending to the earth.

The other person was dressed in brocade and had a silver crown, and was extremely beautiful, but at this moment, she turned pale and cried out, "Ah..."

Xue Huang brought Mo Xingyue to the ground steadily and said with a smile: "Are you so timid?"

"I didn't." Mo Xingyue refused to admit it.

Xue Huang glanced at her trembling legs, saw through it but didn't say anything. She went straight to the stall and bought a portion of Fuling cake.

"Here, try it."

Mo Xingyue wanted to refuse, but when she smelled the aroma of the Fuling Cake, she swallowed the words she was about to say and picked up a piece of cake to eat. Then her eyes lit up and she ate several pieces in succession.

"This pastry is far inferior to delicacies from land and sea, but why does it taste different?" she asked puzzledly.

As a princess, she must have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but this street snack has a different flavor.

"Because... this is the life of the human world." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Human fireworks?" Mo Xingyue looked at the long and bustling street, the lights were bright, and people had smiles on their faces. Although this place was not as magnificent as the imperial palace, it was warmer than the imperial palace.

"Do you want to see it for yourself?" Xue Huang asked.

Mo Xingyue looked at her smile and nodded.

"Then we need a good viewing position."

"where is it?"

Xue Huang pulled her forward and said, "You'll know when we get there."
