After going around in circles, they arrived at the warm spring in March. The peach blossoms in the other world lived much longer than in Lan Xi's original world. From the beginning of February to the current March, they were still in full bloom. According to Gu Moxi, the peach blossoms would only wither at the end of the month. Then, it would be the world of white pear blossoms. Mei Sheng, who loved pear blossoms, would be very happy, just like the peach blossoms now.
Throughout February, wherever there were peach blossoms in the Lan Mansion, there would be peach blossoms that were like peach blossoms. They would either lean against the peach trees or lie under the trees. Their gorgeous red clothes were particularly eye-catching in the enchanting peach blossom forest. Occasionally, they would sit cross-legged under the peach blossoms and play the zither. If one ignored the intermittent and unrhythmic melody, such a beautiful scene would make the world lose its mind.
Tao Yao had arranged a soft couch and a low table in the peach blossom forest, placed a cauldron of incense, and placed a few plates of pastries and fruits. When he had nothing to do, he would come here with the black cat to show off his elegance. What he liked the most was Gu Mo Xi coming to snatch the black cat from him with a gloomy face. Every time he saw Gu Mo Xi's ugly face, he was so happy that he won the lottery.
Today, after Gu Mo Xi went to court, Tao Yao rushed into Xi Garden in a hurry. She gently picked up the sleeping black cat and turned to the peach blossom forest. Her seductive face was so bright that it almost blinded the servant girls of the Prince's mansion. Her hair was loose to her waist and she was wearing a beautiful silk brocade dress that was loosely draped over her body, revealing her fair and smooth chest. As she passed by, the alluring peach blossom fragrance filled the air, making the servant girls who passed by look infatuated and their cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He even had a nosebleed.
Tao Yao lay on the soft couch in the peach blossom forest. Her artistic hands placed the black cat in front of her chest, allowing it to be close to her heart. Although the bright red heart in her chest was no longer beating, she seemed to hear the sound of her heartbeat. It was as healthy and vivid as when she was alive. Her rose-colored thin lips curled into an extremely stunning arc. At this moment, it was as if he and the black cat were the only ones left in the world. Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan, who followed behind, could not help but be stunned.
In the imperial court, Gu Moran announced a major event before the end of the court session. That was, he decided to go out of the palace to visit the common people in disguise. He was accompanied by King Jing Gu Moxi and King Wu Gu Moyan, as well as his personal chamberlain Xiao Yuanzi and his wife, Empress Wanyue. The old Prime Minister stayed behind to deal with the memorials from various places, stating that he could make some unimportant decisions. Of course, these memorials would eventually be sent to him as soon as possible.
It was impossible for the Emperor and His Highness to take action immediately when they went out. It would take a few days to decide on the attendants they needed to bring, to pack their luggage, and so on. Gu Moran left many matters to Little Yuanzi to take care of, and he did not need to worry about the others. As for the most important safety issue, he left it to his third brother Gu Moyan and the secret guards. After discussing the identity they needed to go out, they announced the dismissal of the court.
In the royal study, Gu Moxi and Gu Moyan were called over by their elder brother after the court session. In the bright palace, Gu Moran hummed a tune while fiddling with the potted plants on the window. His bright fox-like smile was like a spring breeze. The dragon robe on his body did not make people feel that he was high and mighty. Instead, they felt that this country ruler was very easy to get along with. He was indeed a fox who was good at disguising.
"Big brother seems to be in a good mood today.”Gu Moyan scratched the back of his head.
"Yes, I'm going out to play in two days. Of course, I'm in a good mood. Don't blame me for not telling you first. If you disturb me and sister-in-law, just wait to be chased back.”Turning the potted plant around, Gu Moran smiled and clapped her hands as she walked away from the window.
Gu Moyan was speechless. He thought that his big brother was actually going out with his sister-in-law to play under the guise of understanding the people's feelings. He was really using his official position for personal gain.
Gu Moxi smiled and asked," Big Brother, just tell me what you have to say. I have to rush back to accompany Xi 'er."”
Beside him, Gu Moyan's mouth twitched. It was one thing for his brother to use his official position for personal gain, but now his second brother was also talking about Xi 'er. Was he destined to be forgotten by his brothers?
Gu Moran was silent for a while. Her long and narrow phoenix eyes looked at Second Brother faintly. She pursed her lips and said," I hope Second Brother won't bring Black Cat with you when you leave the palace this time."
"I refuse. No matter what your considerations are, I will definitely bring Xi 'er with me on this trip.”Gu Mo Xi interrupted him without waiting for him to finish. Her firm words made his persuasion stuck in his throat and finally turned into a deep sigh.
"Second Brother, I didn't say anything about the White Fox's death last time, but the Empress and the Little Princess have been missing the White Fox for the past few days. I don't want them to be depressed when they see Black Cat. After all, this trip was made to bring them out to relax. However, since Second Brother has made up his mind, I won't say anything more. I hope that the Empress and the others can get along well with Black Cat along the way.”
Gu Moxi nodded after Gu Moran finished speaking." Don't worry, Imperial Brother. Xi 'er isn't the type to cause trouble. I'll take my leave first."”With that, he turned around and left.
When she returned to the Lan Mansion, Gu Moxi walked into the Sunset Garden and didn't see the black cat. Her face darkened as she hurried to the peach blossom forest. Dressed in white, she rushed into the forest and saw Tao Yao lying there. Most importantly, he was holding the black cat in his arms.
Gu Moxi's face was dark. She took a few big steps to Tao Yao's side and without a word, she reached out to pick up the black cat and held it in her arms. She was too lazy to argue with the other party. She just glared fiercely and turned around to leave. This made Tao Yao a little uncomfortable. She rubbed her nose and lay down to continue sleeping in her favorite peach blossom forest.
Lan Xi was sleeping soundly when her body was suddenly moved to another warm embrace and regained some clarity. She looked up at the dark face above her and smiled. This fight had been played out more than a hundred times. She did not know how she could not get tired of it. To be honest, it was quite comfortable to sleep while smelling the peach blossoms. It was just that it was not very pleasant to be woken up. She wanted to open her mouth and bite down. Her sharp teeth pierced into her clothes but did not cause her skin to bleed. It was obvious that she had controlled her strength well.
Gu Moxi's eyes were full of smiles. Now Xi 'er was biting him more and more lightly. She scratched its neck and asked in a low voice," Xi' er, when are you going to become a human again?"”
The black cat loosened its mouth and pouted unhappily." Why do you want to become a human? Being a cat is more comfortable than being a human."
These words were true. After all, she was a four-legged animal. After turning into a human, she still had to learn to walk on her two hind legs. Although it was fine for a long time, it was not as good as before.
Gu Moxi's voice changed. Her magnetic and mellow voice was mixed with deep grievance." But I want to see Xi 'er in human form. How beautiful."”
"What did you say? Am I not beautiful now?”The black cat's sinister words floated out of its mouth, and its slightly exposed sharp teeth had the intention of biting if you dared to say yes.
"Of course not. Xi 'er is very pretty and cute now, but I still want to see Xi' er in human form. "Xi 'er ~" Gu Moxi immediately tried to please her. To be honest, he was really not good at coaxing people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to get his sweetheart in half a year. Now, he had learned it from a book.
"Hmph, don't think that I'll compromise just because you're acting coquettishly. If you want your wish, just wait obediently.”
She had agreed in a disguised way. Xi 'er was just too shy.
When they returned to the Sunset Garden, Gu Moxi told her that Chaoshang's eldest brother was going to go on an incognito patrol. Lan Xi immediately asked Mei Sheng to call the others over and briefly explained that he would be away for a period of time, at least a month, at most half a year. If there was anything, she could send a letter to her.
However, Tao Yao was the first one to smile and say," Xiao Xi Xi wants to leave me and go out to play again? I want to go this time too."
"It just so happens that I have something to do and need to leave Shengyang City for a while.”Shangguan Yibing, who was fanning himself, smiled cunningly. The meaning behind his words could not be more obvious.
"Me too." The Soul Devourer that cherished words like gold.
Yuan Yuan saw that the three ghosts were worried that they would miss the opportunity and hurriedly said," Mei Sheng and I will go too. Miss needs us to take care of her."”
Mei Sheng did not say anything but nodded.
After Fifth Ghost finished speaking, he looked at the black cat with ten gazes, as if he was going to secretly follow her if she didn't agree.
"I'll take care of Xi 'er. As for you guys, just follow behind us.”Under the pressing gaze, Gu Moxi did not wait for Lan Xi to answer first. She subconsciously hugged the black cat as if it would be taken away at any time.
"Tsk, you're not a young miss. Why should you decide for her?”Tao Yao, who was at odds with Gu Mo Xi, was the first to scoff at her, and everyone else, including Lan Xi, looked at her with approval.
"Just because this king is your young miss 'husband.”Gu Mo Xi's words were full of confidence and domineering.
Tao Yao was still going against him and said arrogantly," So what? Not to mention that you're not one now, even I won't listen to you.”Once again, the others agreed, including Lan Xi.
This was the first time Gu Mo Xi had tasted the feeling of being isolated. Her phoenix eyes looked at the black cat in her arms with resentment. She thought to herself,"Forget about the others, why did you, this little thing, join the enemy camp?"
In the end, it was Lan Xi who gave the instructions. Unlike Gu Moxi, she let the Five Ghosts follow her openly. They would naturally make their own preparations for the trip. The Five Ghosts happily went out to make their preparations. Tao Yao walked at the back and threw a provocative look at Gu Moxi. After all, Xiao Xi Xi would not mistreat them. Unlike that man, why would he let them secretly follow behind him?
Five days later, the bright and warm sun shone down on Shengyang City. Gu Moran's preparations for going out to patrol in plain clothes had been completed. Her identity was that of a large family that had moved south from Shengyang City. Gu Moran was the head of the family, the Empress was the mistress, the princes and little princesses were the young masters and young ladies, Gu Moxi and Gu Moyan were uncles, and there were servants dressed like Little Yuanzi, a few servant maids and servants who served the mistress, young masters, young ladies, and uncles, some officials dressed as attendants, and an imperial physician with excellent medical skills in the palace.
The group of people traveled lightly. Two carriages with a simple exterior and exquisite interior were driven out of the city by a few tall horses. They attracted the attention of the commoners, causing them to whisper among themselves. Although they had deliberately dressed up, most of the commoners in Shengyang City had seen King Jing, King Wu, and one or two of the officials. Some of the smarter ones immediately guessed that the Emperor, Gu Moran, was sitting in the carriage. However, seeing that they were all dressed in casual clothes and did not publicize it, they watched them leave the city with respectful eyes.
The group of people came to the outside of the city. Five Ghosts, who were waiting here, had successfully joined the team because of Gu Moxi's words, making Tao Yao, who had been proud of herself for the past few days, suffer a setback. Gu Moxi returned a provocative look.
The five ghosts 'appearances were all top-notch, and everyone could not help but be amazed, especially when the little princess blushed like a tomato when she saw Tao Yao. It was obvious that she had already fallen for her. However, humans and ghosts had different paths, and she had a grudge with Lan Xi, which meant that this relationship would not bear fruit.
