Mo Yunxiao's heart was undoubtedly hot and excited, but she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried at the moment. She fell into a relationship so hastily that she didn't expect it. The sweetness and promise of love.

Worries about others' gains and losses came to her heart almost at the same time, leaving her breathless and confused.

She could only walk quickly, the more she walked, the faster she walked, but she didn't notice Hualu standing at the door of the house. Hualan stood expressionless, looking into the distance with dull eyes, and also didn't notice Mo Yunxiao. The two of them.

Just like that, we bumped into each other in the dark night.

"Ouch!" they shouted at the same time, and when they looked at each other carefully, they could see clearly who the other party was.

"Girl? You..." Coral was a little at a loss and bowed repeatedly to apologize: "The little one bumped into the girl and deserves death."

Mo Yunxiao supported her and said, "It was obviously me who bumped into you, it's my turn to apologize to you."

"I don't dare, little one." Coral lowered her head, her voice choked, looking timid.

Mo Yunxiao frowned slightly, and her sixth sense told her that Coral must be hiding something from her. So she took Coral's hand and led her into the house. The lights in the house were bright, so there was no need for anyone to light the lamp again.

"Why bother lighting a lamp when I'm not around?" Mo Yunxiao smiled and said to her, "Wouldn't it be better to save some lamp oil?"

Coral said: "When the girl is not here, the kids don't dare to neglect her. They light the lamps to make the girl feel at ease."

Mo Yunxiao smiled, sat down and said, "You are quite attentive."

Coral smiled reluctantly and said, "This is how a slave should be."

Mo Yunxiao kept holding her hand, but felt that her hand was cold and trembling slightly. So Mo Yunxiao smiled and said: "Coral, you are a good girl. You took good care of me today, and I will do the same in the future."

To repay you. If someone bullies you, you have to tell me and I will support you and uphold justice for you."

She originally thought that her heartfelt words would move the other person to tears, but she didn't expect that Coral was startled and quickly pulled her hand away from Mo Yunxiao's hand and took several steps back.

, and then looked at her with a horrified expression.

Mo Yunxiao was also surprised. She didn't expect that Coral would react like this. She didn't even know why Coral behaved in such an abnormal way. "Coral is very favored in the palace. Who has the guts to bully her?"

Mo Yunxiao thought so.

However, even if Mo Yunxiao wanted to find out, she could still see that there was a lock on Coral's heart, and she had not found the key to open the lock yet.

"If someone bullies you in the future, you must tell me and I will vent your anger on your behalf." Mo Yunxiao paused and then said, "It's late at night, so go to bed quickly."

"Young one, let the girl sleep first." Coral said hurriedly, and then went out to bring a pot of hot water. She waited for Mo Yunxiao to wash up, made the bed for her, and watched her lie down before leaving.

Mo Yunxiao didn't stop her because she knew that taking care of her was Coral's way of relieving stress. But when she was lying on the bed, she also had mixed feelings in her heart. There were too many people she cared about, and she was not at home.

, how is the business in the store? Did Yunxiang and Yunxi quarrel? Is Chengyu worthy of Huan'er's reliance? And Coral, what's wrong with her, why is she so wary of herself?

All these were lingering in her mind, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

She fell into a deep sleep, and it seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the chirping voices of the maids could be heard in her ears: "Girl! Girl! It's time to get up, girl..."

Mo Yunxiao struggled to wake up from her sleep, rubbed her hazy eyes, and then gradually saw the person in front of her. The maids were surrounding her, some holding towels, some holding mouthwash and

Some were holding toothbrushes, and some were holding clothes. They all looked at themselves with relaxed smiles.

Mo Yunxiao was a little surprised, wondering why they were so solemn today. Is there any large-scale celebration to attend?

Coral suddenly came up to her and said: "Girl, the official family is coming to the king's family banquet today. The king wants to let the girl accompany him."

"Oh?" Mo Yunxiao suddenly remembered that last night Zhao Si did say that he would invite Zhao Ji as a guest today to talk frankly about their grievances. She didn't expect that his movements would be so fast, which made her even more confused.

What comes to mind is that I actually want to accompany you?

On such an occasion, to meet Zhao Ji in that capacity, I'm afraid the scene will be extremely embarrassing. This is really shooting oneself in the foot.

While Mo Yunxiao was stunned, Hualu urged her again: "Girl, why are you in such a daze? Why don't you get up and dress up? The prince is relying on you to save his face today."

"Me? How can I save face?" Mo Yunxiao smiled guiltily.

Coral smiled and said: "Who in Tokyo doesn't know that our king has asked a great beauty like you to be his concubine. You are going to meet the official, so of course everyone will have face."

"Ah?" Mo Yunxiao was greatly surprised. "Does everyone in Tokyo know that the king wants to marry me?"

"Yes." Coral didn't understand. The girl didn't seem very happy to have such good luck?

"People have spread the word, saying that King Jian does not marry girls from famous families, which shows that he is very broad-minded and generous." A maid interrupted and said, "The women are also talking about it, saying that Miss Linglong is really lucky. Although she was born in a poor family, she is very lucky.

But they climbed up a high branch. Their jealousy is clearly revealed."

Mo Yunxiao bit her lip and punched the bed hard, thinking to herself: "King Jian, King Jian, why are your mouth so fast! Can't you be more low-key? What should I do?"

"Girl, let's not talk about this for now. Get up and freshen up quickly." So, surrounded by the maids, Mo Yunxiao reluctantly got out of bed. Although everyone was at a loss to help her freshen up, they still couldn't.

in Apple pie order.

Someone wiped her face with a twisted hot towel, someone brushed her teeth, and someone dressed her in clothes, tied her hair, and applied makeup, just like a big girl getting married.

Coral brought a bronze mirror to take a picture of her. "Girl, take a picture of yourself, you are so beautiful today." She said excitedly.

Mo Yunxiao in the mirror is indeed very graceful. They put on the most popular black eyebrow makeup in the Northern Song Dynasty. She has two curved eyebrows, a little red between the eyebrows, a touch of gold powder around her eyes, and a light makeup on her cheeks.

A layer of powder and blush are also light and almost invisible.

Looking at the headdress, although there is a precious jade hairpin pinned to it, the most dazzling thing is a lavender azalea. It is a fresh flower with a few dewdrops on the petals.

Even for someone like Mo Yunxiao, who usually doesn't pay much attention to dressing up, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw himself in the mirror, and looked back and forth a few times.

Coral pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Girl, what do you think?"

"Okay, it's very good." Mo Yunxiao looked at Hualu and saw that he was smiling brightly. There was no trace of the smile on his face yesterday. This made her even more suspicious, but it was better to be happy than to be sad, so she didn't

Yun Xiao didn't say anything else.

Coral smiled and said, "Girl, please wait here. When someone comes outside to pass the news, we will go out."

"Okay." Mo Yunxiao nodded, her heart beating non-stop. She really felt like she was getting married. Although she wanted to meet Zhao Ji, who had a close relationship with her, since Zhao Ji had already confirmed her identity

, she has nothing to be ashamed of. She knows that Zhao Ji has some thoughts about her, and if she meets him earlier, she can make Zhao Ji give up earlier. With this idea made, Mo Yunxiao's nervous heart gradually calmed down.

They waited like this for a long time, but no one came. Seeing the sun gradually rising, the sunlight through the window had also changed its direction. Mo Yunxiao was not anxious, but his stomach suddenly growled.

She screamed, which made her quite embarrassed.

"Girl, are you hungry?" Coral asked.

Mo Yunxiao smiled sheepishly, nodded and admitted, "A little bit."

So Hualu told the maids: "Go get the jujube paste cake." The two maids responded and left in a hurry.

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't allow me to eat."

Coral was stunned and asked: "How can you say this, girl?"

"Because this seems to be against the rules." Mo Yunxiao said.

Coral covered her mouth and smiled and said: "What are the rules? If people see it, it is a rule. If no one sees it, it is nothing. Girl, make up for it first, and you will be able to abide by it better at the banquet later. Otherwise, girl, you are hungry.

If the fire attacks the heart, eating it indiscriminately in front of officials is considered against the rules."

"That's true." Mo Yunxiao said.

While talking, the maid had already brought the pastries. Mo Yunxiao was not polite, took the plate and started eating. After only two bites, a boy came in a hurry, knocked on the door and said, "Miss Linglong, Your Majesty.

I'll send you a message."

"Come on, come on..." The maids made a mess and hurriedly took the plate and the half piece of jujube paste cake from Mo Yunxiao's hand. Mo Yunxiao didn't forget to take another bite before handing it over, cursing inwardly:

"Damn it Zhao Ji, why didn't you come earlier? Why don't you come later? It's hard to get something to eat, but now you come!"

The maids were messing around again. Some helped Mo Yunxiao wipe her hands, some helped her touch up her makeup, some helped her tidy up her headdress, and some poured water for her to drink so that she could drink.

The bulging snacks were swallowed smoothly.

She drank several gulps of water before she could barely swallow the food. Coral hurriedly brought the rouge and applied it on her again.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Mo Yunxiao said impatiently. Coral helped her apply rouge and said, "The girl is going to meet the official, so there is no room for carelessness."

Mo Yunxiao could only suppress her temper and let her help her put on the rouge.

At this time, at the entrance of the reception room of the palace, more than 20 Forbidden Army soldiers were holding swords and wearing bright armor. They stood tall and straight, with solemn faces, and lined up on both sides of the door.

Zhao Ji, who was wearing a uniform and waving his fan, strode inside. Following him was Zhang Di, the chamberlain of the chief escort class.

Zhao Si also walked out from the door with Cheng Yu, with a smile on his face, and said: "Brother, the emperor is willing to condescend to come to my little prince's palace. I am really scared that I can't win. You and I used to have deep discord.

I'm really worried that the emperor doesn't want to be honored."

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Back when Chu and Han were fighting for supremacy, our great ancestor dared to go to the Hongmen appointment with the overlord of Chu. Why would I not want to go to the appointment with my thirteenth brother?"

After hearing this, Zhao Si's face turned serious, and then he laughed and said: "Brother Huang is still very funny, please come in quickly." As he said this, he made a gesture to invite the guests in.

Zhao Ji closed his folding fan with a "swish" and told these Forbidden Army soldiers: "I am having dinner with my brothers. There is no need to escort them. Everyone can go out."

"Here!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the roof tiles, then they all turned around and retreated slowly in neat steps.

Seeing such a majestic guard, Zhao Si and Cheng Yu couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of complicated emotions.

After all the soldiers retreated, Zhao Ji took Zhao Si's hand with a smile and said, "It's not like before. Brother Yu is followed by the imperial army wherever he goes. Hey, you can't be free, you can't be free!"

Zhao Si's face was ashen, and he clenched his fist tightly with one hand, but when he was angry, he laughed again and said: "Since my brother has shouldered the heavy burden of the country, he deserves to suffer from this restraint. Brother, I

But I just stood back and watched happily."
