Foreign envoys visiting their own countries was a very common diplomatic method. Through diplomacy, countries could learn from each other and experience the customs of other countries. It was not only a good opportunity to see the new arrivals, but also an opportunity for their own countries to show off their various abilities. Of course, all kinds of open and secret competitions were indispensable. Whoever won or lost depended on their own abilities.
Saint Jun and Yuan Sheng's emissaries stayed in the posthouse. Gu Moran asked his third brother, Gu Moyan, to be responsible for their safety. This simple and direct Martial King then transferred a small team of soldiers stationed outside the city. There were 500 people stationed, patrolling, and rotating. The emissaries of the two countries and the people in the city were surprised by the degree of importance. Those who knew that they were protecting the safety of the emissaries, but those who did not know would think that they had committed a crime and were guarding.
The other two brothers didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. This third brother of theirs was a genius when it came to military warfare, but he had become honest and honest in other aspects. He was as happy as a child. They didn't know if he had transferred all his wisdom into the art of war when he was born. They could only sincerely explain to Sima Xiang and Jun Moxie. Fortunately, the other party's character was not bad, so they didn't care about it after hearing the explanation.
In the morning, Gu Moxi was holding a black cat in her arms and eating breakfast in the Lan Yun Hall of King Jing's Imperial Residence. She had just received a distinguished guest. The Prime Minister of Yuan Sage, Sima Xiang, and the First Prince of Jun Sage, Jun Moxie, came together. Sima Xiang was wearing a green robe made of silk. His white hair was tied into a bun on his head, and there was a simple jade hairpin in the bun. It looked no different from the ones in the stalls outside. His turbid but shrewd eyes narrowed into two corners, and his mouth with a goatee curled into a deep arc, making people feel that he was exceptionally amiable. From head to toe, one could not detect the Prime Minister's aura at all.
On the other hand, Jun Moxie, the First Prince of the Jun Family, looked extremely distant. His facial features were as handsome as a knife, and his entire person emitted a majestic aura of a king. His evil and handsome face had a licentious smile on it, and his black clothes could not hide his outstanding heroic bearing. He was born with the aura of a king. His handsome features seemed to be carved out of marble. His sharp and sharp eyes gave people a sense of oppression and made people fear him. Just like his name, Moxie Moxie, he was indeed evil. He must have been able to do it with ease in the royal palace.
Compared to the two of them, Gu Moxi was wearing a snow-white robe made of natural silk, with simple patterns embroidered on the collar, cuffs, and hem. She was also wearing snow-white brocade boots, with a milky white belt tied around her waist, and a translucent white gauze shirt. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail by a white brocade, and her bangs were naturally drooping. She looked indescribably like a fairy.
His sword-like eyebrows, his high nose bridge, and his sexy thin lips were pursed into a straight line. His charming phoenix eyes exuded charm, and the lines of his face were gentle. He gave off a more worldly aura and a more human aura.
The black cat's eyes were no different from a human's. In the blink of an eye, it was even sharper and more profound than Jun Moxie's. It was indescribably strange. A human and a cat, one white and one black, suddenly and magically merged into a pleasing painting, causing people to sigh in admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at Gu Moxi's clothes, who would have thought that he was a prince? It was more like saying that he was a Jianghu person who didn't care about the world.
In the main hall of King Jing's Imperial Residence, Gu Mo Xi was sitting in the main seat with the black cat in her arms. Her warm hands were habitually stroking the cat's fur. Sima Xiang and Jun Moxie were sitting on her right. There was a freshly brewed tea on the low table beside the two of them. All the servants in the Imperial Residence, except for Butler Zhu, were ordered to stay away.
"Why did you two envoys come to the Prince's mansion so early in the morning? I will do my best." A cold voice overflowed from Mo Xi's sexy thin lips, and the black cat's furry inverted triangular ears on top of its head trembled as if it was a scene.
"Hehe, Your Highness is too serious. I've always asked about the beautiful scenery in the capital of Heavenly Saint City. This Prime Minister and the First Prince only want to ask Your Highness to take us on a tour.”Sima Xiang smiled amiably as he spoke of his purpose. His eyes that were full of light swept past the black cat without a trace, as if he was deep in thought.
Jun Moxie only nodded his head, his deep gaze falling straight on the black cat. He turned a blind eye to Gu Mo Xi, whose face had sunk a little. He didn't hide his interest in the black cat.
Gu Mo Xi couldn't refuse this matter, so she called Housekeeper Zhu to prepare to go out to the lake. She hugged the black cat tightly, wondering if Jun Moxie would set his sights on Xi 'er. She didn't notice the change in her body at all.
Shengyang Lake was one of the most famous scenic spots in the city. It was located on the east side of the capital. On one side was a mountain, and on the other side was a busy street. Green mountains were towering, and all kinds of flowers and trees were planted between the street and the lake. There were all kinds of flowers and trees in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. There was a stone arch bridge built of bluestone, and there were fragrant pavilions decorated with gauze curtains. Not far away, there was a medium-sized garden, and lotus seeds were planted in the lake.
In spring, flowers bloomed and butterflies fluttered. In summer, willows and lotus leaves hung in the sky. In autumn, osmanthus flowers were fragrant and lotus seeds were ripe. In winter, the snow was white and plum blossoms were quiet. It was a good place for the people to play all year round. It was also a must-choose place for scholars and young men and women who had just entered the river.
Across Shengyang Lake, there was a three-story Qingming Restaurant. The owner was very good at doing business. He dressed the restaurant up elegantly and invited storytellers to tell a touching love story or inspirational rumor every afternoon. He also prepared a space for the four treasures of the study for talented scholars and beautiful women to show their talents. He also prepared a few chessboards to prevent the guests from being disappointed. It became one of the must-go places for scholars and elegant people. In addition, the owner, who was quite business-minded, set up an arena on the empty space. It had become a place for scholars to compete in knowledge. The winner could make a request to the loser. Although the price was a little high, the business had been booming since it opened because of the good land and the talented people who came to spend money.
Gu Mo Xi, Sima Xiang, and Jun Moxie arrived on foot. Gu Mo Xi and Jun Moxie, who had very different styles, immediately attracted the attention of many people. The woman's burning gaze seemed to burn them, while the man's hot gaze was much more complicated. It seemed to be jealous, envious, and respectful. Compared to the two people's brilliance, Sima Xiang seemed to be ignored. He could only sigh that it was good to be young.
It was still early and there were not many people who came to the lake. Gu Moxi and the others boarded the boat that was docked on the shore. The three figures retreated under the gazes of many people. The boat deviated from the shore and headed towards the center. There was only one boat in the entire Shengyang Lake that was very eye-catching.
In the cabin, Housekeeper Zhu had already prepared refreshments in advance and was personally serving them. Three people and a cat sat at the round table without saying a word. For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward, making Housekeeper Zhu break out in cold sweat for no reason.
Lan Xi felt dizzy. She opened her peephole and found that she was on the boat. The corner of her mouth twitched and she lamented in her heart that Gu Moxi wasn't considerate. Why didn't she tell her that she was on the boat? She would faint as soon as she got on the boat, let alone stay in this airtight cabin!!
Sima Xiang looked at the shore through the window and broke the depressing atmosphere with a smile." Seeing is truly better than hearing. The scenery of Shengyang Lake is truly amazing. I would like to thank King Jing for this."”
"Prime Minister Sima, there's no need to be so polite. This king is just doing my part as a host.”Gu Mo Xi spoke lightly, and the two of them exchanged greetings. Jun Moxie gently nodded in agreement. It seemed that although he looked evil, he was still a man of few words like Gu Mo Xi.
Seeing that they were just sitting there, Housekeeper Zhu walked out of the cabin. Not long after, she brought back a woman. The woman was well-dressed, with heavy makeup and light makeup. Her three thousand black hair was tied into an elegant cloud bun, decorated with a few red hairpins. She held a zither in her hand, and a calm smile hung on her face. After bowing to the three of them, she sat down at the side. Her white hand was placed on the zither, and a pleasant tone sounded as it fluttered.
"Your highness, two envoys, this servant dares to say that this is Susu, the courtesan of the Drunken Red Pavilion.”Housekeeper Zhu stood in front of them. He introduced the woman's identity and background. There was no need to explain the reason why he did so. He believed that the three masters knew.
Jun Moxie listened to the music, and his deep gaze swept over Housekeeper Zhu. Finally, he said his first sentence of the day," King Jing has such a considerate servant that makes this prince very envious.”After saying that, he shifted his gaze down again, as if he wanted to look at the black cat.
Gu Mo Xi's eyes flashed with displeasure, but her face was still cold and indifferent. She did not comment on Jun Moxie's seemingly praising words, but she still responded with a distant tone," The Eldest Prince is too polite. Housekeeper Zhu is naturally very pleasing to this Prince.”
"Haha, alright, alright. You guys don't need to be polite with each other. Why don't you listen to Miss Susu's zither music together? I only need a short while to know that her zither skills are superb.”For some reason, Sima Xiang suddenly interrupted their conversation with a smile.
Gu Mo Xi and Jun Moxie didn't object to the suggestion. They stopped talking and listened to the music quietly. The more they listened, the more they felt that it was good. The two couldn't help but smile.
The three of them were comfortable, but Lan Xi was still in deep water. Her stomach was churning and she almost vomited her breakfast. Her head was dizzy and uncomfortable to the extreme. The music that was in the ears of others became a demonic sound in her ears, causing the discomfort in her entire body to multiply. She could not stand it anymore. She jumped off the ground and quickly rushed out of the cabin.
The black cat suddenly ran out, causing Gu Moxi's cold and indifferent expression to change. She ignored the others and quickly stepped out of the cabin. Her gaze swept across the deck and when she saw that there was no shadow of the black cat, she became more solemn. She tapped her toes and nimbly climbed to the top of the ship. Only then did she see the black cat lying there. Her anxious heart gradually relaxed, but it did not change the speed of her heartbeat.
She walked over to the black cat and squatted down. Gu Moxi asked in a careful tone," Xi 'er, what's wrong?"”
The black cat's deep eyes glanced at him and continued to stare at the shore. It seemed to be throwing a tantrum and did not say anything, its tail wagging gently out of habit.
Gu Mo Xi picked up the black cat with her warm hands and made it look at him. She asked again," What's wrong?”
Seeing that he would not stop until he got an answer, Lan Xi's lips twitched again. She then replied," Seasick."”
Her coquettish tone stunned Gu Moxi, and then she laughed foolishly. When she saw the black cat rolling its eyes, she waved her hand to summon Yan, who was hiding in the dark, and asked him to take the black cat back to the prince's mansion first, and ordered the imperial physician to treat it.
Yan hugged the black cat and flew away. He really wanted to ask, Your Highness, can a doctor cure a cat?
