After what happened to Governor He and the others, it seems that all the mandarins in the capital of Tian Du have even more aversion to Man Tianyun. Not because she stole the people's relief money anymore, but simply because she was a woman. In fact, Man Tianyun herself also understands that she can't just "let go of the regent" like that. Man Hengren has grown up, it is time for her to hand over power to her brother. It's just, that old man Li Yan is still the prime minister of Tian Du, and also holds great power in his hands. There was no way Man Tianyun could let Man Hengren sit on the throne alone. Her little brother needs her.
The money for the relief money of the people in the South has also been resolved, and Mo Xuanqing was summoned to the palace to meet with the emperor. He received a message from the eunuch in the palace, and also knew that his mission in the princess's residence had also been completed. In fact, Mo Xuanqing quickly realized that his time at the princess's residence was running out and that it was time to go.
"Guard Mo, I want you to stay at the princess's residence for a while longer."
Man Hengren sat on the throne and slowly put down the brush in his hand. His eyes looked at the man who was half kneeling and half sitting in front of him as if he was examining how Mo Xuanqing would behave. Unfortunately, even a small expression on Mo Xuanqing's face was absent. He is the emperor's close bodyguard, and the emperor's orders are also his life. Mo Xuanqing did not intend to ask again, although he did not want to stay in the princess's residence for another second, because of the emperor's order, he could not disobey.
"Don't you ask why I want you to stay at the princess's residence?"
"Your Majesty's orders are absolute. I do not dare to disobey. If you had no intention of disobeying orders, then why bother?"
Mo Xuanqing slowly replied to Man Hongren's question. What a tough man! A little thought flashed through Man Hengren's mind. In fact, he wanted Mo Xuanqing to continue to stay at the princess's residence for no reason. Even though Man Tianyun has nothing to do with the amount of the royal bailout, the power of the head princess was something that made others fearful. Although Man Hengren always told himself that his royal sister would never betray him. However, no one can predict the human mind. He still wants someone to help him investigate the matter at the princess's residence, in case something unexpected happens. However, the government was unified under the leadership of none other than Mo Xuanqing.
"Your Majesty, why do you still want Mo Guard to stay at the princess residence? Hasn't the treasury issue been resolved already?"
Mu Jian put the teacup towards Man Hengren and couldn't help but ask. He had thought that as long as the matter of the relief treasury was cleared up, the emperor and the eldest princess would surely return to the way they were before. But, the emperor's mood, was really something unpredictable. Bishop Giam did not dare to guess what the emperor was thinking, his old life still wanted to live a few more years.
Man Hengren looked at the teacup in front of him, he didn't say a word. Perhaps the emperor was right. The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. Although they are deeply in love, they cannot escape suspicion of each other. Man Hengren admitted that he did not trust his royal sister, it was his fault. However, as a member of the royal family, he is unwilling to place his trust in others, even those closest to him who have reservations.
Time flies so fast, soon summer has arrived. Man Tianyun sits at Wang Lou Tai, looking at the blooming white lotus flowers. The gentle breezes blow, bringing with them the fragrance of lotus flowers, making people's hearts feel much more comfortable. She leaned back on the couch, her fingers unceasing to a strange rhythm.
"Princess, I have prepared some cakes, it would be very suitable with tea."
Mo Xuanqing put a plate of milky white cakes on the table and even helped Man Tianyun change a new cup of tea. She looked at the plate of cakes, took one and popped it in her mouth. The sweet aroma spread on the tip of her tongue, truly a satisfying part of her snack.
"Come here."
Man Tianyun waved her finger, signalling Mo Xuanqing to come closer to her a little more. Mo Xuanqing has been serving at the princess's residence for a while, and of course, he will understand what she wants. Mo Xuanqing sat down, he let her rest her head on his lap. Man Tianyun has been getting lazy lately. All work in the princess's residence was given to Shen Tianfeng. Although Shen Tianfeng is the closest bodyguard of the head princess, outsiders think that Shen guard is like a dog that always runs back and forth to work for the head princess. And Tianyun just lies in one spot, too lazy to enjoy herself.
"Princess, I have a question that has been asked for a long time. I wonder if the princess can help me answer?"
"What question?"
"Princesses always carry two pieces of jade. I see they are not precious pieces of jade, especially when compared to the precious jewels in the princess's residence. But, those two jade pendants, it seems that the princess treasures them very much?"
Mo Xuanqing's eyes fell on the two pieces of emerald green jade that Man Tianyun always wore on his belt. Just like he said, these two jade pendants were worth nothing, not even a top-class jade. Those two pieces of jade can be easily purchased at a jewellery store in the fair of Tian Du. But for Man Tianyun, those two pieces of jade are priceless pieces of jade.
She removed the two jade pendants from her belt, bringing them up to eye level. Under the light of the sun, the two pieces of jade give off magical and mesmerizing lights. Man Tianyun's eyes looked at those two pieces of jade, seemingly containing a secret that could not be put into words.
"These two gems belong to the two most important people to me. One is the emperor, the other is someone very close to me."
In fact, Mo Xuanqing was originally not interested in the stories of the emperor. More than anyone, he understood how curiosity would kill a person. It's just that, from the day he served at the princess's residence until now, he always saw Man Tianyun carrying those two pieces of jade with her. They are not precious jade, even a small amount of money can get countless pieces of such jade. And Man Tianyun is the precious eldest princess of Tian Du, and always carries these two pieces of jade with her, which makes Mo Xuanqing a little interested in the story behind them. But it seems, Man Tianyun doesn't want to talk about this. So he didn't ask any more questions. That's what she said.
The atmosphere between the two of them once again sank into silence, no one spoke. Man Tianyun moved slightly, her head buried in Mo Xuanqing's lap, phoenix eyes closed. She is sleepy. Mo Xuanqing slightly lowered his head to look at the sleeping woman in his lap. He suddenly realized that this was the first time he had looked at Man Tianyun from such a close distance since entering the princess's residence. She sleeps, without the usual sharpness, just like other ordinary women, quiet and gentle. The more he looks at her now, the more Mo Xuanqing feels that Man Tianyun resembles the girl he once loved. He originally thought that there would be no two people in this world who were alike, but surely Man Tianyun and Zhusha that he knew there was some kind of relationship. But what is that? He did not know, nor could he find out. Could it be that Zhusha and Man Tianyun are sisters? Impossible! Mo Xuanqing shook her head gently. He had been in the palace for a long time and had never heard anyone mention that the queen gave birth to two daughters.
Man Tianyun is Tian Du's head princess and the first child of the first emperor and queen. Although she is only the second daughter of the first emperor, compared to her royal sister, Man Tianyun is still the person who is more respected, so she is also more interested in people. Words about her are countless. The first empress had only two children, one was Man Tianyun, and the other was the emperor, Man Hengren. Therefore, Mo Xuanqing believes that there will never be a problem, the Zhusha that he knows is Man Tianyun's sister. Zhusha is too simple, she is not suitable for the cold and intriguing capital city.
