"Yeah." Ningxu ate the cake and swayed happily. "By the way, have you told Mr. He that he must choose Mo Xi to enter the palace?"

Now that she knows the emperor, she must use a back door to lock Mo Xi up in the palace forever.

Third Master: "I have already said so. My aunt has already come to the palace and told us to choose Mo Xi."

Ningxu: "Second Madam?"

Third Master: "Yes. Aunt wants the maids in the palace to teach Mo Xi so that he won't lose the royal demeanor. Mo Xi is a child whose family environment is too good. He has never seen the sufferings of the world and is too arrogant."

Ningxu: "Yeah. I just want her to learn a lesson!"

After Ningxu vented her anger, she became a little worried that she might cause serious consequences to Mo Xi, so she tried to smooth things over, "I was just saying that out of anger. You won't really torture Mo Xi because of me, will you?"

"Why is your brain jumping so fast? Don't worry, Mo Xi went to the palace to suffer not because of you, but because aunt wanted to temper her will. Besides, this is her choice, isn't it?"

That's right. Mo Xi has always talked about entering the palace to become a concubine. She is willing to enter the palace this time, so she must know the dangers in the harem.

After the fish was grilled, they moved to the big table in the yard and sat down. San Ye also put out the cold dishes. After they finished their meal, Ning Xu felt a little sleepy, so she went to the bamboo house to rest for a while. San Ye stood at the ferry and stared at the lake in a daze.

My own lifelong affairs have been resolved, and it’s time to think about the state affairs of the Tianle Dynasty...

The holy water has dried up and the ecology has returned to normal. Although there is no disaster now, there is no guarantee that after the complete loss of the holy water, the Tianle Dynasty will still be as peaceful and prosperous as before.

Now Li Ze only has three important things waiting for him to do: one, accompany Rumeng; two, find a way home for Rumeng; three, pray for the goddess to appear.

His mother told him that the goddess could only send down holy water once, and then the divine artifact Cloud Feathered Robe would disappear from the world, waiting for the next goddess to come. Although he now had the green jade pendant in his hand, it still couldn't solve the problem of the holy water running out...

Ningxu woke up after sleeping for a while. The two of them took a walk by the lake holding Zhuifeng's hands. Ningxu was not so afraid of Zhuifeng anymore and dared to walk in front of him.

Because there was a curfew in Prince Mo's Mansion, Ningxu could not stay outside at night. It happened that the Third Master also had to go back to deal with the matter of selecting a concubine, so after a short walk, the two of them rode their horses back to the place where Old He had sent Ningxu.

Old He was already waiting there. There was a servant beside the carriage and another horse beside the carriage.

The Third Master got off the horse first, then picked Ningxu up and held her hand again. His reluctant look made Ningxu feel a little distressed.

Ningxu: "Be good, we'll play together next time."

Third Master: "But when I go back I have to face the noise of that group of new women..."

Ning Xu: "It's okay~ Just think of it as you dealing with Mo Xi for me, and you'll have motivation!"

The Third Master was a little annoyed when he heard this. "Aren't you jealous of all the women around me?!"

"Hahaha." Ningxu laughed out loud, and stood on tiptoe to pat the Third Master's head, "With your stubborn mind, you won't fall in love with anyone else."

Ningxu walked towards He Lao as he spoke. Sanye still held her hand and refused to move, so she was almost pulling Sanye along. When she reached the carriage, Ningxu looked at He Lao curiously, "He Lao, didn't you send me off?"

Mr. He: "Uh..." Mr. He looked at the interaction between Ningxu and the Third Master, and seemed to understand something. "I have to go back with you to deal with some business, so I can't send Miss Rumeng off. Sorry."

Ningxu: "It's okay! You guys go back and do your work, I can do it alone." Ningxu wanted to get on the carriage, but found that the Third Master was still holding her hand, "What? Do you want to go back to Prince Mo's Mansion with me?"

Third Master: “Huh.”

The Third Master snorted softly, reluctantly letting go of Ningxu's hand, and carried her back to the carriage. "You must remember your current identity! Don't peek at others!"

Ningxu: "I haven't seen anyone else~"

Third Master: "Humph, it's better not to have it."

The Third Master spoke to Ning Xu in a proud tone. After that, he turned around and looked at the servant who was leading the carriage with a serious face, "Be careful on the road and deliver it safely."

"Yes, master."

"Go."

Ningxu returned to the carriage and sat down. She walked to the window, looked out at the Third Master, and said goodbye to him with a smile.

After the carriage left, the Third Master finally put aside his reluctance and returned to his previous attitude of keeping strangers away. "Mr. He, how is the palace?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, please don't let me choose next time. I am so tired today. The pearl hairpins worn by those young ladies are so dazzling that they hurt my eyes."

Third Master: "You still want a next time!"

Mr. He: “No, no.”

Third Master: "Why don't those people understand? I won't touch so many women even if they are sent in, so they will still be widows." Third Master looked fixedly at the direction where Ningxu's carriage left.

Mr. He: "Master, they are also thinking about the country. You are so wise and brave, your descendants will also be brave and extraordinary."

"Where can I get descendants? Let my royal brother figure it out. I just want my wife." After saying that, the Third Master rode on Zhuifeng and flew away with the wind.

He Lao also quickly mounted his horse and followed closely. The two of them were going back to the palace, so they were not going the same way as Ningxu. And in order to prevent people from speculating on his relationship with Ningxu, the two of them could not enter the city together.

Not long after Ningxu returned home, the second lady came to her room with a gossipy look on her face, as if she knew something. "Rumeng, where did you go today?"

Ningxu didn't feel anything was wrong and answered normally, "I went fishing with my friends."

Second Madam: "That friend?"

"Huh?" Ningxu put down her hand that was making the bed and turned to look at the Second Madam who was drinking tea at the table, "How did the Second Madam know that I went out to play today?" She remembered that the reason she asked for leave was to go home to visit relatives, right?

Second Madam: "I saw it. There is a carriage coming to pick you up, right?" The Second Madam was seeing Mo Xi off at the gate this morning, but unexpectedly saw a carriage coming out of the alley at the back door of Prince Mo's Mansion. It was the one Ning Xu was riding in.

Ningxu's face was dull. How could the Second Madam see this? The Second Madam should not have seen the Third Master's carriage, right? How about hiding it? "Well, it's a good friend from Zhengnan Street. He asked me to go out with him today."

The second wife looked at Ningxu with a smile. She didn't react to her words. She just looked at Ningxu quietly, which made Ningxu a little dazed.

Could it be that the Second Madam knew that the man was the Third Master...

She was hesitating whether to tell the truth to the Second Madam. After all, if the Second Madam knew that the Third Master did not honestly choose a concubine in the palace, but actually went out of the palace to go fishing with her, a maid, then she might be labeled as a witch who brought disaster to the country.

Ningxu: "I..."
