Xia Wan curled her lips and waved the broom around. She realized that it was not suitable to be used as a weapon, so she put it down again and began to look around for her next target. When she saw the teacup not far away, her eyes lit up.
Si 'er continued," However, it has been ten years. Concubine Rong's disappearance has become a mystery in Ziqiu Kingdom. The Emperor and His Highness have never seen Concubine Rong's corpse, so…"
"So they are still searching?”Xia Wan couldn't help but follow Si 'er's words and come to the table.
She picked up the smooth teacup with her slender fingers and poured the tea inside into the teapot. She gently picked it up and spun it in her palm a few times before turning around.
Si 'er nodded. No one gave up…"
"You know quite a lot." Xia Wan held the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on Si 'er. From top to bottom, when she saw where Si' er's hand was placed, she suddenly said,"Take this!"
"Ah!" Startled by Xia Wan's sudden action, Si 'er didn't have time to turn her body and was hit on the shoulder by the bowl that Xia Wan threw at her. The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The pain caused Si 'er to cry out, and she could not even stand properly. Her face turned pale and she started to sweat.
When Xia Wan saw this, she hurriedly approached and said,"Why didn't you dodge? Are you an idiot?"
"Miss, you…"
Xia Wan avoided Si 'er's puzzled gaze and helped her up. She said,"I just wanted to see if you were agile. Who knew you would be so stupid? Forget it. I won't test you next time."
"Miss, what do you suspect me of?" Si 'er touched her shoulder with her uninjured hand. Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall.
"Why did I just come back and see such a wonderful show? Why, did the master and servant have a bad blood?”The door was suddenly opened. Mo Lingyun stood elegantly at the door, dressed in black and holding a paper fan in his hand.
"Why are you here?" Xia Wan let go of Si 'er and took a step forward to protect Si' er behind her. A month ago, this person had walked out of this room in anger. Now, he suddenly appeared with a smile on his face. It was really puzzling.
Mo Lingyun glanced at Xia Wan, whose expression had once again turned cold and distant. He smiled and said,""What's wrong? Is the spearhead pointing at me again? I didn't do anything. I'm just here for a very important book.”
"Please forgive me, wangye. This servant took that military book.”When Si 'er heard this, she suddenly walked out from behind Xia Wan and knelt down to admit her mistake.
"Si 'er, you go out first." Before Mo Lingyun could react, Xia Wan gave her orders.
Mo Lingyun raised his eyebrows, folded his fan, and put it in his sleeve. He did not say anything, but walked straight into the door and walked straight to the wooden chair.
"What's the matter, Ninth Wangye?" Xia Wan's mind spun rapidly. She had already had enough of today's events to digest. What was with Mo Lingyun's sudden appearance now?
She didn't believe that Si 'er was that innocent. Not to mention how this little servant girl knew so many things, just the fact that this servant girl was able to let her mix in the wangfu like a fish in water, she could imagine that Si' er was not ordinary.
However, in her memory, Si 'er was very good to her. Logically speaking, Si' er should be loyal to her. But a servant girl actually knew so much more than the master, it really made people suspicious.
"What do you think?" Mo Lingyun blew lightly on the teacup and took a deep breath of the fragrance of the tea. His face was filled with enjoyment.
"I planned to return the book to the study after reading it.”Xia Wan went to the dressing table and reached out to pick up the book. Then, she walked over to Mo Lingyun.
Raising his eyes to look at the book, Mo Lingyun suddenly said,""I couldn't tell that a woman like you would be interested in these men's books.”
Mo Lingyun's smiling face turned serious. He stood up from his chair but did not approach Xia Wan. His eyes locked tightly onto Xia Wan, not giving her any chance to dodge.
Xia Wan simply raised her head, her black eyes flashing with confidence.
"Your Highness, I believe you've already investigated me and the Xia family.”Xia Wan suddenly decided to stop pretending. Smart people had ways to deal with smart people, but it was definitely not to play dumb, but to crush others in terms of intelligence.
Mo Lingyun's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the calm Xia Wan and did not answer immediately. Instead, he continued to sit down, picked up his teacup, and started sipping his tea.
"Since everyone is smart, I won't keep you in suspense. Do you know why I don't want to marry you?”
Xia Wan lifted the corner of her skirt without any scruples and sat down opposite Mo Lingyun. She then began to drink her tea elegantly.
Mo Lingyun's gaze darkened as he watched his series of actions. There was an inexplicable emotion in his gaze.
"I've loved reading books since I was young, and I love reading history books even more. Therefore, I have some understanding of politics. Actually, it's not that I don't want to marry you, but I don't want to marry a prince. Moreover, he was a very famous prince. You should understand that once I marry you, it means that I'm starting to be targeted. My family will also be affected because of me.”At this point, Xia Wan took another sip of tea.
Her movements were light and gentle, and the unique gentleness and restraint of a woman was displayed in front of Mo Lingyun. And she was still saying such blatant and even somewhat treasonous words.
Such a woman was rare.
Mo Lingyun's eyes darkened at the thought of this.
"Follow me into the palace the day after tomorrow." Mo Lingyun suddenly spoke up, his fiery eyes looking at Xia Wan. The passion that he couldn't hide made Xia Wan lose focus for a moment.
"What did you say?" Xia Wan's hand that was holding the teacup trembled.
"The annual palace banquet is coming up soon. I need you.”Mo Lingyun said straightforwardly.
Xia Wan had originally planned to make Mo Lingyun look at her in a new light, but who knew that the person in front of her was on a completely different dimension from her. What was going on?
"I think…you don't lack women.”Xia Wan tried her best to follow Mo Lingyun's train of thought.
Mo Lingyun nodded and said seriously,""Yes, I don't lack women, but I lack a princess consort! As for you, now everyone in the world knows that you are my princess consort, so other than you, I can't bring anyone else.”
"What did you say?" Xia Wan's eyes widened in disbelief.
