The three of them rushed over and said in unison:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Mo Lingwei raised his deep eyes.
Xie Mingxu immediately stepped forward and held up his hands: "The general is looking for an opportunity to present the border patrol map to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, her small hands still wrapped around Mo Lingwei's waist.
The little girl didn't understand why her brother suddenly started talking about business?
Mo Lingwei also narrowed his eyes and said: "This matter is not urgent. Although my father has left it to me, there is still one month left before the time I give you. You can prepare well."
Xu Jingxi came to the side. In front of him, he said in a cold voice that was neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness, there is one more thing. Last time, with your permission, I asked you to hold a poetry meeting and invite literati and poets to enrich the literature and history of Cangyun Kingdom."
"I have already chosen a time. As for the venue and the specific content of the poetry meeting, you might as well tell His Highness now. If His Highness feels it is inappropriate, I might as well make changes as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Xie Ming'an behind him calmly held Shen Ningning's hand. With a little force on his small shoulders, the little girl was pulled off Mo Lingwei's body.
"Huh??" Shen Ningning blinked her round black eyes.
Looking back, it turned out to be Xie Ming'an.
"Brother Stinky, what are you doing? I'm listening to my
elder brother talking to Brother A and Brother Three." Shen Ningning put her hands on her hips, her playful and lively face snorted angrily, and the tassels on her forehead were shining with gorgeous luster.
Xie Mingan grabbed her wrist, his handsome face darkened.
"Come on, the second brother has something to tell you. Let's go over there and let the eldest brother and the others discuss business with His Highness the Crown Prince first."
With that said, Shen Ningning was dragged away by Xie Mingan.
Mo Lingwei followed the little girl's figure with his deep thin eyes, and then withdrew his gaze and fell on Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi in front of him.
He has a deep city and is even more keen and intelligent.
How could you not see that the three brothers were working together to take Shen Ningning away?
"Tsk." Mo Lingwei couldn't help but chuckle.
Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi lowered their heads and pursed their thin lips in unison, seeming a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Mo Lingwei didn't plan to argue with them.
"Don't you want to discuss business with me? There is a pavilion over there. Let's sit down and talk."
After that, he took the lead and walked towards the pavilion.
"Yes." Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi looked at each other, and they both noticed doubts in each other's eyes.
His Highness the Crown Prince is not angry?
In that compartment, Xie Mingan had already dragged Shen Ningning to a quiet bamboo forest behind the Zhennian Hall.
Shen Ningning couldn't walk anymore and threw away his hand while panting.
"Second brother! We are already so far away from the banquet. Where else do you want to go?"
If we go further, we will leave the Zhennian Palace.
Shen Ningning muttered dissatisfiedly and glanced at Xie Ming'an twice.
Her skin was fair and tender, and Xie Mingan had held it for so long that it turned red.
Xie Mingan wanted to keep a straight face and educate his sister on the importance of male and female defense.
But seeing her Haoxue wrists glowing brightly, he regretted that he was too strong.
Xie Mingan turned around and carefully held her wrist, his brows still furrowed, but his tone softened.
"Does it hurt? Second brother will be more careful next time, but if you didn't do well this time, how could you throw yourself into the arms of His Highness the Crown Prince in full view of everyone?"
Shen Ningning pouted, and the jeweled necklace around her neck revealed her stunning beauty. of brilliance.
"I have been getting along with my brother like this since I was a child, and I have never seen him say no."
"Nonsense! He is a man." Xie Mingan gave him a cold eyebrow.
Shen Ningning was hurt and became even more aggrieved and angry, and she retracted her little hand.
Xie Mingan reacted and was silent: "I'm sorry, the second brother will not be fierce next time."
"The next time, you always say that the next time, the first brother and the third brother are much better than you! They are never cruel to me." Shen Ningning glared at him, turned around and left.
The bamboo forest is dense and the architecture is full of simplicity. There is a man-made river winding down in the forest. The clear water flows through, adding a bit of tranquility to the bamboo forest. Xie Mingan chased after Shen Ningning, and the brother and sister argued all the way. She said it was hers, and he coaxed him.
When passing a rockery, Xie Mingan suddenly pulled Shen Ningning to a stop and hid behind the rockery.
"How..." Before she could finish her words, her second brother covered her mouth.
"Shh." Xie Mingan lowered his voice, protected his sister in his arms, and hid in the gap of the rockery.
He pointed across.
Shen Ningning looked through the holes in the rockery.
I saw a concubine coming over.
Shen Ningning frowned, feeling that this person looked very familiar.
It wasn't until Xie Mingan lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "It's Concubine Qi."
Shen Ningning opened her beautiful eyes in surprise.
No wonder she couldn't recognize it!
Concubine Qi's hair has been gone since she was struck by lightning. In the past five years, it has only grown to her shoulders.
The appearance on his face seemed to have changed a bit. The scar struck by lightning was right at the base of the bridge of his nose.
In order to be beautiful and not to be disliked by the emperor, Concubine Qi made many golden masks to cover the twisted scar between the bridge of her nose.
But this made her no longer as soft and graceful as before, but instead she became a bit more sinister.
The whole personality is completely different.
In the past five years, she rarely showed up. Even if she accidentally bumped into Shen Ningning in the palace, Concubine Qi lowered her head and left immediately.
After being honest for a few years, the little girl almost forgot about this character.
However, she didn't understand why she wanted to hide when she just saw Concubine Qi?
Soon Shen Ningning understood.
Concubine Qi looked around with vigilance.
After a while, she blew the whistle behind her.
Who is Concubine Qi calling?
Shen Ningning held her breath and looked around, and saw a tall man walking slowly on the path leading to the bamboo forest.
The other party was wearing a prince-level three-clawed python robe, dark blue in color, and made him appear taller and taller, with a blazing gaze.
Xie Mingan frowned and whispered: "It's the King of Shu."
King of Shu! Mo Lingwei's uncle.
How could he have a secret meeting with Concubine Qi in the bamboo forest?
"Jingchun." Over there, the King of Shu called out his name with affectionate eyes.
Concubine Qi turned her head and threw herself directly into his arms.
Shen Ningning's pupils were shaking.
"Hongguang, I miss you so much." Concubine Qi choked in his arms.
However, the King of Shu pulled her out of his arms and did not let go of her hand. He just said with some emotion: "We haven't seen each other for almost ten years, right? I heard that you were not doing well. I originally wanted to come to Beijing to visit you early. , But Yue He is not in good health, so she has delayed her return to Beijing until now."
Concubine Qi lowered her hands in despair: "I am presumptuous, why do you come to Beijing to see what I am doing? It is more important for me to take care of the princess. "It's important."
"Don't be stupid, hey, now that I'm back, I realize that everything in the capital is strange, but you are the only one who makes me feel friendly."
The two began to reminisce about the past, and Xie Mingan's first reaction was that something was wrong. Leave first.
However, when Xie Mingan moved, he stepped on the soil soaked by the stream, making a soft "snap" sound.
"Who is there!" King Shu shouted.
Concubine Qi quickly jumped some distance away, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out." Concubine Qi lowered her voice.
The King of Shu walked towards the rockery.
