Mo Qingcheng

Chapter 9

The palace maid had apparently been instructed in advance, and the only person visiting was Lu Xiaonian, an outsider.Seeing His Highness the Second Highness coming unexpectedly, he was slightly taken aback, but quickly withdrew his expression, and said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, His Highness was originally waiting for Young Master Lu in the meeting hall, but something happened in the harem, and His Highness went down It's done. Tell the servants to entertain Mr. Lu here, and I hope you will forgive me."

Lu Xiaonian said: "It's okay, I missed the agreed time, I should apologize."

The servant girl bowed to him and stepped back. After a while, she poured tea, the tea lid was lifted slightly, and the refreshing fragrance of tea permeated the entire front hall.

He bowed and said, "This is the 'Shu Ling Xiang' specially prepared by His Royal Highness for Young Master Lu, please drink tea."

Lu Xiaonian took a sip along the rim of the cup, the tea was slightly bitter in the mouth, with a very sweet aftertaste, and it seemed to have the effect of dispelling the headache he had just suffered from pollen allergies, the more he drank the tea, the clearer it became.Although he is not familiar with tea art, he also felt that the eldest prince carefully prepared this tea, knowing that he had difficulties, so he was secretly grateful for it.

Hua Moyi had nothing to do, so he caught the palace maid and asked: "My lord, I heard from the servants in the palace that many of you rushed to work all night to embroider a picture of a hundred flowers in spring for someone?"

"Ahem——" Lu Xiaonian took a sip of tea, coughed, beat her chest and stamped her feet.After a while, he regained his breath, and said in a little embarrassment: "Second Highness, don't misunderstand, all the girls are so kind, Lu Xiaonian is not blessed to accept it as a practitioner."

The palace maid obviously knew that everyone was working together, and she was embroidering a pillow cover for the handsome young man with red lips and white teeth in front of her, a blush rose on her cheeks, and she said in a low voice: "This...to tell the truth, Second Highness, in fact, His Highness is doing it for this , thoroughly investigate the causes and consequences in the harem..."

Lu Xiaonian was startled, and stood up: "I have returned the embroidery picture intact, Your Highness shouldn't embarrass everyone, stay here and explain to His Highness──"

Hua Moyi wondered: "It's just an embroidery pattern, with my eldest brother's temper, how could he be so motivating? The servant girl is ignorant of world affairs, she only knows how to covet the beauty of human skin—" Handed Lu Xiaonian a look of rolling her eyes, "— But they don’t understand the dangers of the human heart, and they don’t know that gold and jade are often easily ruined, and it’s all right for the elder brother to punish them, so there is no need to worry about it.”

Lu Xiaonian: "..."

The palace maid blushed and said in a low voice: "Because the eldest princess──"

A steady voice interrupted the servant girl's unspoken words: "Since the distinguished guest has arrived, it is time to invite someone to sit down and drink tea. Don't talk nonsense."

The maid hurriedly covered her mouth with a light ah, and lowered her body to welcome her.Lu Xiaonian then turned his eyes around, and saw a handsome and resolute man stepping forward from the back of the hall, with a solemn expression between his brows and his eyes were as cold and sharp as a sword, and his eyes were full of probing meaning; although there was no malice, But its scorching aura was enough to make Lu Xiaonian's heart tremble slightly.

The eldest prince, Hua Shijun, is indeed not an easy character.

The four eyes met, Lu Xiaonian bowed a little as a courtesy: "I met His Royal Highness the Flower Demon Kingdom when I went down to Lu Xiaonian."

Seeing their eyes meet, Hua Moyi was afraid that his elder brother would be too concerned about Lu Xiaonian and would not see her, so he stopped in front of Lu Xiaonian with a stride, and said enthusiastically, "Brother!──"

The eldest prince shifted his gaze to him, frowned slightly, and Hua Moyi's cheerful ending sound immediately dropped a little.Hua Shijun said: "Why are you here? Tomorrow is the father's [-]th birthday banquet. I have invited various experts for you in advance to discuss the Lingshan witch hexagram. It is not good for you to stay in the main hall. What are you running around for again?"

Hua Moyi vowed: "I am worried that my elder brother will be deceived by others, so I will not hesitate to put aside my life's important affairs and come to Yundu Palace to escort my elder brother. How can I be blamed by my elder brother?"

"What's wrong with this palace that I need you to escort?"

Hua Moyi slowly moved to his elder brother's side, Hua Shijun looked like he wanted to get out of the way, but he couldn't stand his second brother's soft and sticky entanglement, and had no choice but to give up when his arm was stuck.Hua Moyi lowered his voice, but the volume was just low enough that Lu Xiaonian and all the servants in the front palace could hear the content clearly: "──Brother, you don't know, this little boy from the outside world is very cunning. Shen, it's very easy to be fooled. If you don't believe me, you can see that the servants in the palaces all bend their elbows outward as if they have been drugged by him. Didn't big brother deal with this matter just now?"

"...You go back to the palace first." With this second brother who is afraid of chaos in the world and is also a troublesome man, there is no way to talk about things seriously.

Hua Moyi was unyielding: "Are you also following Brother Ran──"

Lu Xiaonian noticed that His Majesty's brows had almost formed a Sichuan character, and he was amused, but also worried that the noisy Hua Moyi would really be picked up by his elder brother and thrown out of Yundu Hall.

Fortunately, His Majesty is well-mannered, and has grown accustomed to his second brother's chirping, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. , Xiaoyi, you'd better not force big brother to get angry."

Hua Shijun's order to chase away guests was undisputable, Hua Moyi turned her demonic purple eyes, and suddenly thought of what the palace maid had just been interrupted by her elder brother.With the eldest brother's open-minded temperament, although he usually disciplines his servants strictly, he will not make troubles in the harem because of trivial matters such as giving embroidery bonuses to outsiders for the maidservant; he deliberately invited Lu Xiaonian to come, and there must be some The strange thing may be that it has something to do with the person in the harem.Why don't you take advantage of the big brother's time to get distracted, and check it out yourself?

From the corner of her beautiful eyes, Lu Xiaonian, who was still in the dark, said in her heart that I don't believe that this monk with half a bucket of water is really so charming, and he can surpass his elder brother's harem eyes without meeting him. The bit is also easily conquered.If the person whom the eldest brother loves is also fond of him, then he, Hua Moyi, would be willing to bow down and let this smelly monk be arrogant and domineering in his flower demon country!

After thinking about it, Hua Moyi smiled and said: "Since the eldest brother is so concerned with the little boy—no, I don't want to disturb the two of you talking about sex, so I will leave. You guys talk slowly, talk slowly." When the fragrant wind spun, the person disappeared.

Lu Xiaonian didn't look away until the fragrant wind dissipated into the air, and then said to Hua who was slowly sizing him up, "Your Highness has something in mind, so it doesn't matter if I tell you straight to the point."
