"What are you afraid of? An ugly daughter-in-law must eventually meet her parents-in-law. Besides, you are not ugly. Our Aqi is so handsome." Song Zhi said confidently.

Mu Nanqi's face rarely showed a trace of unnaturalness, and he looked away, "Don't talk nonsense."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "I just spoke from my heart, how can it be nonsense?"

Mu Nanqi: "..."

Song Zhi stopped teasing him and said, "Well, actually, I think you've endured humiliation for so many years, it's time to let the world know that you have the ability to fight. This will also reassure those who secretly support you."

"Of course, the timing isn't right yet. You just need to pretend to win over the Song family to show outsiders, without actually revealing that we're on the same boat. This way, the emperor won't dare to manipulate us so easily, and it will also give Mu Qinghan a sense of crisis, which makes it easier to make mistakes."

Hearing the woman's thoughtful thoughts, Mu Nanqi's tone softened and he said, "Okay."

Song Zhili smiled brightly, his curved eyes were like crescent moons, filled with stars.

She spoke tentatively, "I'm planning to go to Yunshui Youyou right now. Do you want to come with me?"

Mu Nanqi was silent for a moment, then ruthlessly refused, "No."

After saying that, he added, "Right now, the palace is paying close attention to the Song family. It's not appropriate for you to be involved in many things. I will make arrangements for General Xin."

"Okay then." Song Zhi agreed.

A white jade pendant, smooth and flawless, appeared before her. "This is a token of my loyalty. I have many shops and connections in the capital. If you need help, you can use it."

Song Zhi reached out to take it. Not only was the jade of the highest quality, rare to come by, but the jade pendant was also engraved with the Chinese character "Qi" in a flamboyant style. It was obvious that it was his personal property.

"Aqi is so nice." Song Zhi smiled happily.

As if she was afraid that Mu Nanqi would go back on his word, she quickly put the jade pendant into her arms and then carefully felt his whole body.

After groping for a long time, he finally found a small and exquisite purse.

She felt a little embarrassed for once, and shyly placed the purse in his hand, saying, "This is my token of love for you. Even though it's not worth much and the embroidery isn't very good, every stitch and every thread was embroidered by me personally. Although it can't solve your urgent problem, if you know my stitches, you can take it to Yunshuiyouyou..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing, and his face flushed red. "No, you are not allowed to go in there."

After saying that, he tried to snatch the purse back, "I won't give you this for now. I'll give you something else next time."

Mu Nanqi dodged quickly and said sternly, "I can't take back what I've given away."

Song Zhi was so anxious, "Why are you like this?"

"I won't take it to Yunshuiyouyou."

The voice was deep, like a promise.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"OK then."

After hearing what he said, she gave up the idea of ​​coming back.

Mu Nanqi rubbed the purse lightly with his fingertips. There should be some flowers embroidered on it, but because the embroidery was too rough, he couldn't tell what it was.

There was a hint of disdain in Mu Nanqi's eyes, but because he was used to being indifferent on weekdays, this disdain was not very obvious.

Song Zhi was still very confident in his masterpiece and asked, "Guess what flower I embroidered."

"Peach Blossom."

Song Zhi shook his head, "Wrong."

"Apricot blossom?"

"wrong!"

"Cherry blossoms?"

"No, this embroidery is very obvious."

Song Zhi was very dissatisfied, "This is a plum blossom, a plum blossom, you can tell by the color."

Seeing her so anxious, Mu Nanqi showed a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

Song Zhidao said: "You were born in winter, which is the season when red plum blossoms are in full bloom, so I embroidered it especially for you."

Mu Nanqi's heart was touched, "How do you know I was born in winter?"

Song Zhi smiled, "I like you, and I know everything about you."

She said that such sweet words came easily to her, so skillfully that it seemed as if she had practiced them thousands of times.

Only Song Zhi herself knew that she was so nervous that her palms were slightly sweating.

Mu Nanqi's Adam's apple slid slightly, and strong emotions surged in his eyes.

After a long pause, he put away his purse and said, "You should be thankful that you have improved your aesthetic taste."

Song Zhi: ???

What does that mean? Is this implying that she had poor aesthetic taste in the past?

Mu Nanqi didn't mean to explain.

Song Zhi snorted, "Yes, yes, you are right."

She waved briskly from a distance, "That's settled then. I'm leaving now."

"Aqi, miss me."

She blinked mischievously, and then, like a charming and graceful fairy, she blended into the busy street behind her.

A warm breeze blew by, leaving only a faint fragrance from the woman wafting past the nose.

Mu Nanqi stood there without moving, staring in a daze at the direction she left.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my Third Prince, you gave away the jade pendant that you usually treasure like the devil, and in exchange you got such a small thing?"

Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded from the top of the wall.

A man in blue brocade clothes was sitting there with a dogtail grass in his mouth. He was swinging one leg nonchalantly and had a ghost mask on his face, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Mu Nanqi ignored him and left with his hands behind his back.

The man in blue quickly jumped down from the wall and chased after him. "You wouldn't let me touch the jade pendant, and yet you gave it away without blinking an eye. Perhaps it was the beauty trap that worked."

Mu Nanqi still didn't say anything, so the man continued, "You don't really like that little girl, do you? Although she is indeed quite good."

Mu Nanqi stopped and glanced at him coldly, "Shut up."

The chill around him made the man in blue shiver uncontrollably. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Mu Nanqi started walking again, "What do you want from me?"

Speaking of business, the man in blue suddenly became serious, "Princess Tuoba has returned safely, and all the things you asked us to do have been completed. Tuoba will be our helper in the future."

"Well, just continue according to the plan." All this was within his expectations, so there was not much emotional fluctuation.

The man in blue came closer, seeming to be asking for credit. He imitated Song Zhi's previous affectation and said, "I did such a great job this time, so is Aqi going to give me any reward?"

Without stopping, Mu Nanqi glanced at the man in blue and said quietly, "I'll reward you by letting you be responsible for recruiting people."

The man in blue's eyes went dark. "How inhumane! How inhumane! I just came back from Tuoba. I haven't even had a breath or a sip of water yet, and you're assigning me a new task. Even Uncle Wang's donkey next door wouldn't dare to use it like this."

Mu Nanqi's expression remained unchanged, "You are better than the donkey from Uncle Wang's house next door."

The man in blue stood there, jumping up and down in anger. "Then I should thank you for the compliment, right? I'm the eldest young master of the Cang family, and you're comparing me to a donkey."

After saying that, he suddenly realized something and widened his eyes in disbelief. Was it Mu Nanqi who just spoke?

It's unbelievable when the cold and aloof Third Prince learned to make fun of others.

Could it be that he was hallucinating?
