The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Mu Yunzhou's face darkened upon hearing Shangguan Baixu's words. He opened his mouth to say that he and Wenrou had been in a relationship for a long time, but he felt it would be inappropriate to say it in front of Wenrou. He also didn't know why he felt so possessive of Wenrou. Amidst these complex emotions, Mu Yunzhou said nothing.

Shangguan Baixu continued to chat with Wenrou, and the more they talked, the more he liked her. Shangguan Baixu felt that Wenrou was his destined partner. His eyes looked at Wenrou more and more gently.

During their conversation, Wenrou also learned Shangguan Baixu's identity. He was the third son of the current prime minister, with two older brothers. As a result, his family had few expectations of him, leading him to live a carefree life. He had two hobbies: opening a shop to make money, and making friends through literature. It could be said that he combined the most elegant and the most vulgar.

Shangguan Baixu is a very cheerful and lively person because he often goes out and makes friends. Although Wenrou meets Shangguan Baixu for the first time, she does not feel awkward or uncomfortable at all.

"Alright, you've seen the person today, it's time to go. Don't hang around here." Mu Yunzhou, standing next to him with a sullen face, finally couldn't help but say. These two people were sitting under a tree drinking tea, and he was still pouring tea for them. How could this be justified?

Shangguan Baixu felt a little reluctant, and said reluctantly: "I can leave, but this is the first time Wenrou and I have met, and I want Wenrou to write a poem for me."

"It's not an important day, what's there to write poetry about?" Mu Yunzhou refused directly.

"You are such a domineering and unreasonable person! Wenrou hasn't said anything yet, how can you be so overbearing?" Shangguan Baixu accused.

Wenrou saw the two quarreling and was worried that she would affect their friendship, so she quickly said, "It's okay. Lord Shangguan came here specifically to meet friends through literature, so I should give him a poem."

Mu Yunzhou pursed his lips tightly when he heard this, his face full of displeasure. But since Wenrou had said so, he had no right to stop her.

Wenrou was still eloquent this time, blurting out a poem for her friend:

The moon reflects the wine flags and people are still awake.

The elegant style of the fragrant building makes the pen produce smoke.

Meeting a bosom friend for the first time is easy.

A song of high spirits makes the passing years drunk.

Shangguan Baixu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but applaud excitedly and repeatedly praised it. He quickly took out paper and pen from Mu Yunzhou's study and copied the poem. After finishing, he said, "Since Miss Wenrou gave me a poem, I must also write a poem in return!"

Mu Yunzhou was angry when he heard this, "Are you done yet? Now that you have the poem, just leave." Mu Yunzhou and Shangguan Baixu, one is the son of a general and the other is the son of a prime minister. They grew up together since childhood, so they spoke very rudely.

But Wenrou didn't know the relationship between the two, and immediately felt that Mu Yunzhou was a little too much. She quickly defended him, saying, "Since Lord Shangguan is so thoughtful, then Wenrou should naturally accept the return gift."

Mu Yunzhou was so angry he didn't want to talk anymore. He could only watch Shangguan Baixu pretending to wave his folding fan and ponder his poetry. How could he not know that Shangguan Baixu was just a fancy for elegance, but he didn't have much knowledge.

Sure enough, Shangguan Baixu waved his folding fan for a long time before he blurted out a poem:

"She is naturally beautiful, reflecting the morning sun; her talent is overflowing with fragrance. Her glance captivates the whole city, and her smile is like the spring breeze; poetry is hidden in Shangguan's heart."

After listening to this, Mu Yunzhou was about to mock Shangguan when he heard Wenrou chuckle, as if she was amused by the poem.

"Lord Shangguan's poem is very clever, so Wenrou accepted it without hesitation." Wenrou said with a smile.

This really made Mu Yunzhou furious. He pulled Shangguan, who was about to say something, out of the yard with a cold face and said, "Okay, Wenrou needs to rest. Go back to where you came from!"

Shangguan Baixu's greatest characteristic was his persistence. Since then, he'd become a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion, chatting with Wenrou whenever he had time. Even Mu Yunzhou hadn't spoken as much to Wenrou these days. Mu Yunzhou couldn't stop him, seeing how Wenrou and Shangguan's relationship grew stronger.

Shangguan never came empty-handed, always bringing small gifts for Wenrou. Later, when Shangguan learned that Wenrou was the daughter of Jiangnan's Wen Yun, he admired and loved her even more. He even specially brought fruit from Jiangnan for Wenrou.

Mu Yunzhou was busy with the palace's Lantern Festival banquet. Originally, the banquet had nothing to do with him as a general, but Mu Wanying wanted to perform a dance at the banquet and came to him for help. Mu Yunzhou searched for dancers and musicians, and even the fabric for the dance costumes, which Mu Wanying had to pay a large sum of money to find from outside the palace.

As a result, Shangguan Baixu had more opportunities to spend time with Wenrou. One day, the two were playing chess under a tree. Futian was ordered by Mu Yunzhou to keep an eye on them, lest Shangguan overstep his bounds. Looking at the pair chatting and laughing under the tree, Futian felt that his master's head was truly overwhelmed with worry. He felt that Miss Wenrou might soon leave the General's Mansion and marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just look at Shangguan's thoughtfulness; how could his master compare?

"Lantern Festival?" Wenrou asked curiously.

"Yes, the capital will hold a grand lantern festival and night market during the Lantern Festival. I will take you to see it then." Shangguan Baixu's eyes were sparkling, and he looked at Wenrou expectantly, as if he would cry if the other party did not agree.

Wenrou blushed under Shangguan's gaze and said worriedly, "I don't think the General will let me go." In fact, she really wanted to go out and play. Since their last trip, Mu Yunzhou had never taken her out again.

"You don't have to worry about that. Yunzhou will go to the palace to attend the Lantern Festival banquet during the Lantern Festival. He won't be able to take care of us at all." Shangguan said proudly.

"Sir, don't you need to go?" Wenrou asked curiously. Although Shangguan didn't hold an official position in the palace, he was still the son of the Prime Minister.

"I'll show up and then sneak back." Shangguan corrected him, "I've told you so many times, just call me Bai Xu."

Meanwhile, Mu Yunzhou, still unaware of Shangguan's plans, had been busy for days, finally finishing up Mu Wanying's dance. It was also just in time for the Lantern Festival banquet.

On that day, Mu Yunzhou specifically instructed Wenrou, "Everyone in the mansion has to go to the palace to attend the Lantern Festival banquet. I'll leave Futian to you. I've also arranged for the kitchen to prepare the Lantern Festival banquet for you. I'm sorry to leave you alone. I'll come back as soon as possible."

Wenrou nodded randomly, thinking only of the Lantern Festival, and wishing Mu Yunzhou would leave quickly. Seeing Wenrou's absent-mindedness, Mu Yunzhou thought he was missing his family. He felt very sorry for leaving her alone in the mansion. He wanted to raise his hand to hug Wenrou and comfort her, but then he held back.
