The green mountains and the lake were next to each other. Under the blue and transparent sky, there seemed to be a layer of smoke surrounding it. It was like a fairyland inhabited by immortals. It was dreamy and dreamy, making people yearn for it. They yearned for the unreality. The weak sun sprinkled on the lake, and the water was as dazzling as broken gems. The ripples dazzled the eyes of tourists.
The pleasure boats on Shengyang Lake were like shuttles, slowly sailing on the calm surface of the lake. The annual Hundred Flower Festival was carried out in an orderly manner as everyone chatted and laughed. The most eye-catching one was the pleasure boats of King Jing's Imperial Residence. It was not because of their luxurious appearance, but because the surrounding empty environment was easily seen. Who asked King Jing to declare that he did not like noise? Everyone could only stand on the deck and sigh as they watched from afar.
The sun gradually moved to the top of their heads, and the pleasure boats docked one after another. Young men and women disembarked from the boats and headed towards Shengyang Restaurant. For a moment, the guests of Shengyang Restaurant came like clouds, making the waiters so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. The shopkeeper stood behind the counter and was busy collecting money and recording accounts. The kitchen behind was also extremely busy. Plate after plate of fine wine and delicacies were served to the guests.
Gu Mo Xi carried the black cat and walked down from the pleasure boat, following the crowd towards Shengyang Restaurant. Dressed in white, she looked like an immortal, her cold and distant temperament was particularly prominent in the crowd, causing the surrounding people to unconsciously take a few steps away, as if they did not have the heart to disturb his peace.
Shengyang Restaurant was quite famous in Shengyang City. Some time ago, it suddenly improved many of its shortcomings, and its business became even more prosperous. Many of its peers were jealous of it, but it was not suppressed by them. It was unknown what tricks the manager had played, but it was undeniable that the restaurant's meals, decorations, and service attitude had all improved. The common people patronized it every few days.
The moment Gu Mo Xi entered the restaurant, she attracted everyone's attention. The manager was a sharp steward. He saw that this guest was dressed in bright clothes and had an extraordinary bearing. He must be a rich and noble person. Hearing the whispers of the guests in the hall, he knew that he was the King Jing who was praised by everyone. He hurriedly ran out of the counter to welcome him with a smile.
"This little one pays his respects to your highness. It is this little one's honor to have your highness come today. May I ask if your highness is eating in the hall or going to the private room?”
A distant and indifferent smile hung on his handsome face. Gu Mo Xi coldly said," Private room."”
"Yes, yes, this way please, Your Highness." The shopkeeper hurriedly led the way, secretly cursing himself for being stupid. How could a dignified and powerful prince condescend to eat with ordinary people in the hall? He was really confused today.
The three-story restaurant was comfortably decorated, and the excellent lighting made people suddenly open up. Even their appetite seemed to have improved. The six private rooms on the third floor faced each other from afar. Each private room was decorated differently but was equally good. It was open to the powerful people in the city, such as officials, kings, princes, and princesses. If they were only rich, they could only eat on the second floor.
Arriving at the private room with the plum blossom wooden sign, the shopkeeper opened the door and allowed Gu Mo Xi to enter first. After entering, he quickened his pace and wiped the chair with a cloth before inviting him to sit down. He then asked with a smile," What does Your Highness want to eat? As long as it's a dish from the Heavenly Saints Kingdom, the kitchen of this commoner can make it. As long as Your Highness says it, it can be made."”
These words were somewhat exaggerated. Whether it was military, economy, people's livelihood, or culture, the Heavenly Saint Kingdom was ahead of the other two countries. Moreover, the territory was vast, and the customs of each place were different. How could a small restaurant cook the delicacies of the entire country?
"Give me some of your signature dishes, a pot of Biluochun.”Gu Mo Xi didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper's gimmicks and reported the lunch with her eyes half-closed.
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed when he saw that the other party did not believe him, but he still smiled warmly and said," Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and instruct the kitchen."”He wiped the table before bowing and leaving.
At this moment, the black cat lying in Gu Mo Xi's arms slowly opened its sleepy eyes. Its black eyes looked around and a trace of confusion appeared in its eyes. It asked softly," Gu Mo Xi, where are we?"”
Gu Moxi didn't answer him. Instead, she held the black cat and faced him. Her phoenix eyes were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction. Her sad voice came out of her thin lips." Xi 'er, what do I have to do to make you call me Mo Xi?"”
"What does it matter? Isn't it the same?”The black cat pursed its lips and said indifferently.
"Of course it's different. Mo Xi sounds better. Just call me Xi 'er, Xi' er, Xi 'er ~"
The black cat rolled its eyes when it heard the man's mournful voice." Since you're pleading so strongly, then I, Mo Xi," it said softly.”
Gu Mo Xi's sad expression was swept away, and her phoenix eyes were filled with burning affection and gentleness. She carefully hugged the black cat into her arms, her gentle movements as if she was holding a treasure. Her soft voice called his name, making his heart melt into a pool of soft water, and her thin lips curved into a beautiful arc.
The shopkeeper quickly knocked on the door of the private room again with the waiter. After neatly setting up the table, he politely left.
After the meal, Gu Moxi stepped out of the private room with the black cat in her arms. The door of the private room next to her opened at the same time. Gu Moyan came out in a navy blue brocade dress. Seeing Gu Moxi who came out with him, he smiled and walked up to him." Second Brother, what a coincidence. Are you here to participate in the Hundred Flower Festival?"”
"I brought Xi 'er out for a walk. Are you here to participate in the Hundred Flower Festival?”Gu Mo Xi didn't look embarrassed at all and asked back unhurriedly.
Gu Moyan, who was teasing him, was slightly embarrassed. He replied sullenly," I came here for a drink with three generals in the army."”
Hearing this, Gu Moxi nodded slightly to the three men who followed Gu Moyan out. The three men also cupped their hands in greeting.
The three of them had very different physiques and appearances, but they all exuded the aura of a soldier. The most prominent one was the man at the back. His bearded face was 80% similar to Li Kui in Water Margins. The only difference was that there was a scar from his forehead to his hip bone. Coupled with his dark skin, he looked very ferocious.
"Oh right, Second Brother, do you have something to do next? If you don't come with us to the suburbs to ride horses, how about it?”Gu Moyan shook off his embarrassment and suggested in high spirits. As he spoke, he extended his index finger towards the black cat.
Gu Mo Xi took a small step back to avoid the fingers that were reaching out. She turned her head and saw the spring light outside and the cool breeze. It should be a good day to ride a horse, so she nodded and agreed.
The group of six left Shengyang Restaurant and headed towards the outskirts. Not to mention the three soldiers, the elegant demeanour of the two princes had attracted the attention of passersby. The woman who had not yet returned home revealed a look of fascination. The three soldiers didn't feel embarrassed because of Gu Mo Xi's participation. Instead, they chatted happily and regretted not knowing each other earlier. When they found out that the tug-of-war that was played by the soldiers was proposed by him, they even praised him continuously, making Gu Mo Xi extremely embarrassed. This tug-of-war was stolen from Xi 'er.
The sky was dark and the wilderness was vast. A swallow flew across the sky. The wind was gentle and the water was leisurely. Several carps swam at the bottom of the river. Green mountains surrounded the clear green water. The official road was wide, and the green grass was scattered with scattered white flowers. Beside it stood a forest that could not be seen to the end. Animals that came out of the cave were galloping in the forest.
A group of six people sat on six tall horses. The wind blew their loose black hair. In the middle, one white and one green figure were the most eye-catching. Looking at the vast wilderness, it gave people a sense of clarity and relaxation. It was as if even the state of mind was infinitely magnified, as if it could put heaven and earth into its chest.
The three soldiers were originally good at galloping on the battlefield. Seeing such a vast place, they decided on the competition with just a few words. Following Gu Moyan's order, three energetic horses roared and ran at full speed. As the hooves flew, countless flying dust was raised, and the strong bodies gradually faded away.
Gu Moyan glanced sideways at the person beside him. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that his second brother had been different recently. He couldn't tell exactly what was different, but he just had this feeling.
"What are you looking at?" Sensing Gu Moyan's gaze, Gu Moxi turned around and asked, her warm palm stroking the black cat's fur.
"Second Brother, I feel that you're a little different.”Gu Moyan wasn't the type to hide his words, so he naturally answered truthfully.
Gu Mo Xi raised her eyebrows. She was about to use the excuse to be interrupted when she turned her head and looked at the forest next to her.
" Help! Someone, help me!"
A miserable cry for help came from the forest. Soon, a woman in a pink dress was seen. However, her clothes were open, revealing her round shoulders. Her long hair was messy, and her beautiful face was crying like a pear blossom. As she ran, she looked back and called for help at the same time. She saw the two people in front of her wiping the tears on their faces and running forward desperately. They did not care about the stones on the ground and knelt down. Her slender fingers pointed behind her and panted," S-Young Masters, please save me. I-He-They!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Moyan reined in his horse and ran into the forest. The aura of a soldier surged out of his body. Seeing the woman's disheveled clothes, how could they not guess what she had encountered? Gu Moyan, who had a strong sense of justice, naturally ran in the direction she pointed out without saying a word.
On the other hand, Gu Moxi sat on the horse's back as if she didn't see it. She lowered her phoenix eyes and stroked the black cat, ignoring the woman who was still kneeling on the ground. Her white clothes made her seem heartless at this moment. Of course, this was only her appearance. She stayed here because she believed that Gu Moyan could handle the situation inside.
When the woman calmed down, she looked up at the person on the horse. She lost her mind and her pale face turned pink. She stood up and straightened her clothes. She tried her best to control her trembling body and said softly," Thank you for your help, Young Master."”
The black cat shook its inverted triangular ears, and the claws on Gu Mo Xi's arm stretched out its sharp nails. The thin spring clothes could not resist the invasion of the sharp claws, and the pain of needles entered his heart. The corners of his lips curled up in a pleasant arc, making people tremble.
Gu Mo Xi wrapped her palm around the little black cat's head and said coldly," Miss thanked the wrong person. It was my third brother who went to save her. You should thank him."”
At this moment, Gu Moyan returned with another woman. She got off the horse and hugged the woman from before. Her face was pale and she could not stop trembling. It was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock. Gu Moyan briefly explained what had happened with an angry face. After saying that, he saw the three generals who had gone to the horse race and handed the two women back to them.
