After Xiao Yunxi washed and changed her clothes, she walked out from the inner room.

Seeing the look in Mo Ruochen's eyes, he felt inexplicably guilty.

I don’t know if it was because I played too much last night or because I was too nervous, but my legs actually trembled slightly.

Mo Ruochen put down the military book in his hand, walked towards her, bent down and picked her up.

Xiao Yunxi quickly put her arm around his shoulders, "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"

"Madam's legs are weak, I will carry you over."

"..."

"Your Highness, we can make a sedan chair and go through the small door!"

Mo Ruochen ignored her and walked out directly carrying Xiao Yunxi, then sat in the sedan chair that had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Seeing the little princess let out a long sigh, he found it a little funny, "Madam, did you misunderstand me? Did you think I was going to hold you and swagger to my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Xiao Yunxi blushed, closed her mouth and did not respond.

Mo Ruochen held her in his arms, his warm palms grasping her waist, reaching the soft flesh of her waist through her dress.

The two of them pressed tightly together, the man's warm breath sprayed between his eyebrows, and the faint scent of agarwood filled the tip of his nose, making him feel a little itchy.

Xiao Yunxi lowered her head, revealing her slender white neck.

"Don't blame me, Madam. Let's just forget about it today."

Mo Ruochen tapped her forehead with amusement, "I'm afraid the eldest princess will roast me like a rabbit!"

In less than half an incense stick of time, the two arrived at the garden of Ningguo Mansion.

Before she got out of the sedan chair, she heard the teasing voice of the eldest princess Xie Yuanfeng.

"You're only here after being invited so many times. I know you're newlyweds, so there's no need to be so clingy."

Xie Yu on the side covered his mouth and chuckled, guessing that Xiao Yunxi in the sedan must have blushed.

As expected, after hearing what her mother said, Xiao Yunxi's face turned even redder. She rolled her eyes at Mo Ruochen viciously, lifted the car curtain and jumped out.

Mo Ruochen was very calm and composed. He got off the carriage right after Xiao Yunxi, walked steadily to the side of Duke Ningguo and sat down.

“Mother-in-law, the king and the lady get along well. Shouldn’t you and father-in-law be more relieved?”

Xie Yunfeng gave him a cold look. Either he had not eaten meat for thirty years, or he had no control over himself once he started eating meat.

She turned around and glanced at Xiao Yunxi, who was sitting next to Xie Yu with a red face and lowered head. Fortunately, her dear daughter was strong and could withstand it!

"Over there are portraits of girls from noble families in the capital who are about the same age as Zhan'er. Take a look and help judge them!"

Xiao Yunxi took the booklet from Xie Yu's hand and looked through it carefully for a while.

"Mom, these girls are only about ten years old. They all look gentle and well-behaved, and very outstanding, but they are still young after all..."

Xie Yu had already seen it once before, and while peeling the orange, he agreed: "It is indeed a little smaller."

Xie Yuanfeng took a sip of wine and said, "What do you know? Good cabbage must be ordered in advance."

"Although Zhan'er was adopted by your second brother as his legitimate son, now that he has the surname Xiao, he is naturally my precious grandson."

"That child has a calm temperament, is motivated and hardworking, and will definitely have a bright future."

"From what your second brother said, the child doesn't want to pursue a literary career, but rather a martial arts career."

"As you know, on the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Who knows what will happen."

"Let's settle it first. After the ceremony of coming of age, we can make the final decision and get married soon."

Xiao Yunxi didn't expect that the child actually wanted to learn martial arts, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Mo Ruochen looked at her expression and advised: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If he really likes the battlefield, then let him do as he pleases."

Xiao Yunxi nodded and flipped through the book again. "Zhan'er is calm and reserved. Why not choose someone who's more lively and outgoing?"

"Your family background doesn't have to be too high, but it can't be too low either."

"Similar age is best, but a few years older is also OK. Isn't it said that a woman three years older than her husband is more likely to bring wealth?"

"Of course, it would be best to ask Zhan'er what he thinks. After all, he is the one who will spend his life with you, so naturally he has to like you."

Xie Yuanfeng rolled her eyes, "Your requirements are really neither high nor low!"

"Your second brother has already asked Zhan'er before. He said he wants to find someone who is calm, capable of managing the household, gentle and filial."

"Can a calm and steady person manage a household?" Xiao Yunxi carefully read the description in the booklet. "Then these girls all meet the requirements, but they are a little older and of lower social status."

"It's just a first look. After all, the child is still young, there's no rush."

Xie Yu handed Xiao Yunxi a peeled orange and asked, "Why are you still worried?"

Xiao Yunxi took the orange and put the book aside, "Mom, why don't you let Zhan'er choose for himself. Although marriage is a big matter, one should follow the orders of parents and matchmaker.

A forced melon won’t be sweet. What do you think? "

Xie Yuanfeng took a knife and cut the roasted rabbit meat, "Don't forget, he is now the legitimate son of the Ningguo Mansion, his great-grandfather was the Grand Tutor, and his grandfather was the Ningguo Duke.

My grandmother was the eldest princess and my uncle was Prince Dingyuan.

Even though he is not the eldest son, his marriage has long been watched by various families.

If you don't choose in advance, what if your uncle the emperor makes a mistake again?"

Xie Yuanfeng has always had a thorn in her heart. If she had not been unable to make up her mind after so many choices, giving the Queen and the old Prince of Zhennan a chance, her precious daughter would not have wasted more than three years.

Duke Ningguo nodded in agreement, "Zhan'er is a good child. Even though he won't be able to inherit the title, he won't be far behind!"

Xie Yuanfeng smiled and said, "That's right, your second sister-in-law often sighed and said that this child must have been born in the wrong womb, and should have been born in her belly!"

Xiao Yunxi knew that her parents and her second brother and his wife all truly loved Zhan'er and were really planning for him.

"Then let the two of you pick a few suitable ones and let Zhan'er decide for himself, how about that?"

Mo Ruochen filled the glass for Duke Ningguo, "That child is a man of his own ideas. I agree with Madam's idea."

Xiao Yunxi immediately gave him a well-behaved smile.

Xie Yunfeng's hands were itching to see this, and she didn't know who she wanted to whip.

"Mo Ruochen, I heard that Yun Xi doesn't get up until noon every day, and today she got up only after sunset."

Xiao Yunxi shuddered when she heard that and quickly moved closer to Xie Yu.

Mo Ruochen nodded generously and admitted, "Yes, the king and my wife have a good relationship."

Xie Yuanfeng felt his hands itching even more.

"You are not young anymore. You should know that there is no damaged land, only damaged oxen. If anything happens to you, I will ask His Majesty to find another marriage for Yunxi."

Mo Ruochen's face turned dark in an instant.

"Is mother-in-law free lately?"

"It's OK. After all, my children are doing well and my life is going smoothly."

Mo Ruochen smiled. It seemed that he had to find something for his good mother-in-law to do.
