"Sixth Brother is right." Mo Lingyun nodded in agreement." I can't take care of you everywhere. It's better to be careful.”
"I know." Xia Wan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
" Ninth Brother, recently in the imperial court…" Mo Ze was about to ask Mo Lingyun some questions about the imperial court when he was interrupted.
"I don't want to talk about this today.”Mo Lingyun took a sip of tea and spoke.
Mo Ze nodded. With years of tacit understanding, he knew. Here, Xia Wan was an outsider. It was best not to let her know about some of the political affairs in the court, so she obediently shut up. Xia Wan did not ask further. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she leisurely chatted with Mo Yuhao, who hadn't started to participate in political affairs.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time to eat. Xia Wan asked the two of them," Why don't we eat at the Imperial Residence?”
"No need. I have a dinner appointment with my friends today.”Mo Yu Hao shook his head and said regretfully.
"It's okay. There will always be a chance." Xia Wan did not force him to stay." What about the Sixth Prince?”
"I'm going back to the residence too."
"What? Are you afraid that your Zhang Tian will scold you?" Mo Yu Hao joked.
"She's your sixth sister-in-law! Don't be so rude…" Mo Ze seemed to have been hit on the spot as his face turned slightly red.
"Then forget it. Let's go together next time.”Xia Wan smiled and turned to instruct Si 'er.
Mo Ze and Mo Yuhao bowed,"Then we'll take our leave."”After that, Mo Lingyun called for the coachman, and Mo Ze and Mo Yuhao went in. Mo Lingyun and Xia Wan stood in front of the residence and sent the two of them off before returning to the residence.
"How did you meet them?" Mo Lingyun looked at the woman walking beside him and asked.
"When I was taking a walk this morning, I saw Yan Fei leaving. After she left, the Sixth Prince and the Twelfth Prince came together.”
"I see."
"Does Your Highness know where Concubine Yan is going?”Xia Wan turned around and looked into Mo Lingyun's deep eyes.
"Concubine Yan?" Mo Lingyun's gaze turned cold as he sized up Xia Wan, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression.""Wangfei wouldn't even care about those dispensable women in the fu, right?”
"I asked you a question!" Xia Wan stubbornly glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and one hand on her waist, completely disregarding her image.
"That woman went to the Yan Estate." Mo Lingyun replied indifferently. After he finished speaking, he wanted to walk around Xia Wan who was blocking his way.
" Do you know that she…" Xia Wan saw that Mo Lingyun was about to leave and was a little anxious. She blocked him again.
"She entered the palace." Mo Lingyun lowered his eyes and spat out four words.
Xia Wan's eyes widened in shock. He knew?
"No one in my wang fu can escape from this king's palm!”Mo Lingyun said emotionlessly as if he could see through her heart.
Xia Wan looked at Mo Lingyun, who was exuding a cold aura, and her heart trembled slightly. This man was unfathomable. Although Xia Wan had been a secret agent for seven years, this was the first time she felt fear from the bottom of her heart when she was by Mo Lingyun's side. What a powerful man he was.
Little did he know that Mo Lingyun was also slightly surprised. That woman's observation was really meticulous. She actually noticed that Concubine Yan's carriage was facing south, which was the exact opposite of the Yan Residence at the north gate. This woman was not simple! If Leng had not told him that Concubine Yan had gone to the palace, perhaps he would not have known.
"Have you thought about the clothes for the palace tomorrow?”Mo Lingyun changed the topic.
"No." Xia Wan was wondering how he knew when she was suddenly interrupted. She was a little confused."I don't want to make a new one. You've already given me a lot during this period of time…"
"I'll send someone to take your size later. After I'm done, I'll take you to pick out the fabric and jewelry.”Mo Lingyun's tone became less forceful and sounded very comfortable.
"As you wish!" Xia Wan nodded and suddenly paused. Like a mischievous child, he turned to Mo Lingyun and raised his eyebrows."Your Highness, your voice is actually very pleasant to hear…"
Without waiting for Mo Lingyun's reply, Xia Wan immediately curtsied. She quickly returned to her room.
Mo Lingyun only came back to his senses when he saw the emptiness in front of him. Thinking of her words, his heart felt warm. However, at the same time, he frowned in melancholy.
He didn't know why, but he always thought that his mother's figure overlapped with hers. Could it be that she was also the calamity of his life? Mo Lingyun sorted out his thoughts and turned to leave.
In the room, the fragrance of the dishes assailed his nostrils.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Si 'er was instructed by Xia Wan to go to the kitchen to bring the food to Lan Zi Ge.
"It smells so good!" Xia Wan sniffed and looked intoxicated.
"Then Miss, please eat quickly." Si 'er helped Xia Wan set up the bowls and chopsticks before walking to the door. She gently opened the door and gave a few instructions to the people outside.
"Si 'er, who are you talking to?" Xia Wan picked up a piece of sweet and sour meat with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth as she asked vaguely.
"Oh, it's that little servant girl who just arrived, Silksnow.”Si 'er turned around and closed the door, smiling.
"Silksnow…what a good name!" Xia Wan nodded and muttered.
"Miss, you should eat quickly. It's delicious when it's hot.”
"Yes." Xia Wan waved the chopsticks in her hand." Si 'er, do you want to eat together?”
"No need, this servant has just eaten." Si 'er shook her head.
"Alright then." Xia Wan chatted with Si 'er as she ate.
At this moment, both of them heard someone knocking on the door. Si 'er left the table and opened the door.
"Ah, Silksnow, the honey bean cakes are here. Thank you.”Si 'er said to Silksnow with a smile.
"It's fine, Sister Si 'er." Silksnow's face was flushed red, and her smile was so childish that no one would dare to bully her. Xia Wan, who was sitting in the room, suddenly spoke.
"Silksnow, come in."
"This…Silksnow wouldn't dare."
Silksnow's small body trembled slightly. She thought that she had done something wrong and that her master was going to drag her in to punish her. Xia Wan's eyes became meaningful, but in an instant, a smile slowly appeared.
"I won't eat you. I just want to chat with you.”Xia Wan said to Silksnow in her gentlest and kindest voice.
Silksnow was a little hesitant, but she still walked up to Wan Xia.
"Your name is Silksnow, right?" Xia Wan naturally held her hand and pulled her closer to her.
"Yes." Silksnow was very embarrassed. She kept her cute little head down, and her cheeks were red from nervousness.
"Just turned ten."
It's really small. Xia Wan sighed.
"Why did you come to the Imperial Residence?"
"I don't know. I think my mother sent me here.”After saying that, her eyes turned red. Xia Wan only felt the veins on her forehead pop out. This child's acting was top-notch!
" Princess Min Xi, you don't have to be respectful to me. I should be the one being respectful." Xia Wan released Silksnow's hand and looked solemnly at the girl in front of her, who had a look of shock in her eyes.
"Wan 'er! How did you see through me?" Min Xi pouted unhappily.
This Princess Min Xi was the goddaughter of the current Emperor. She had just been conferred the title of princess some time ago, but she was actually the apple of Prime Minister Lu Yong's eye. She had been gifted and intelligent since she was young, and she had a delicate appearance. She could already speak eloquently at such a young age. She was one of the three talented women of Ziqiu Kingdom and was also the youngest. She was only fourteen years old this year.
In Xia Wan's memories, she and this Princess Min Xi could be said to be bosom friends who could talk about anything. Did she think that she could fool his eyes just by dressing up?
