Fragrant willow catkins

Lady Bai stopped looking at Ningxu, moved towards the maid, and kicked the pebbles on the ground angrily.

Seeing Lady Bai being humiliated, Mo Xi felt so happy. But she looked at Ning Xu again. The emperor was willing to serve as a table for her and hold the food box for her. Several people from the Mo family also greeted her with smiles. Mo Xi really couldn't understand where the little Rumeng got the charm to make everyone stand on her side.

It was true that she disliked Rumeng, but now it seemed that she could only keep her hands off and could not let her temper bully her. Rumeng's current status was equal to hers, and it seemed that her grandfather appreciated her very much. Even if she didn't like Rumeng, she couldn't trip her up in front of her grandfather, not to mention that there was Concubine Bai present. She didn't want to have a conflict with her own people because of Rumeng, and she would also let Concubine Bai see the joke.

After all the related matters were given instructions, everyone had their new identities and gradually got into the groove. Now, the Third Master was the eldest grandson of the Mo family, and Ningxu was the sixth child of the Mo family. The two of them were not shy about being around the people present, and even picked up food for each other when they were eating, which made Mo Xun speechless.

Mo Xun: "Xiao Liu, why don't you pick up some food for Fourth Brother? You can't be partial, right?"

After the chef prepared the meal, the guards set up a big table. Everyone sat at the table to eat, and the guards took their bowls and found a place to squat and eat.

Ningxu put a piece of sweet and sour pork in her mouth and looked at Mo Xun in confusion, "You don't have hands?"

Mo Xun: "Hey, what can I say? That big brother's arms are longer than mine, why are you still helping him?"

Ningxu: "Eat! Eat! Even eating can't stop your mouth!"

Ningxu grabbed the steamed bun on the table and stuffed it into Mo Xun's mouth. Mo Xiao sat between them, leaning back calmly, holding the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other to continue eating. She was no longer surprised. The two of them had done this before when they practiced sword in the Mo Mansion.

The Third Master had always regarded Mo Xun as his invisible love rival, and now he felt even more uncomfortable seeing Ning Xu and Mo Xun fighting at the dinner table. With a stern face, he pulled Ning Xu back to his side, forced her to sit down and eat properly.

Prince Mo had been in seclusion for a long time, and it had been a long time since he had seen his youngsters being so affectionate and loving to each other. While eating, he did not forget to look up at the youngsters playing opposite him. The usual rule of not talking while eating in Prince Mo's mansion was also thrown out of his mind.

Lady Bai looked at the happy family and now regretted why she came along. She had planned to seduce His Majesty, but His Majesty would rather replace the eldest young master of the Mo family than be her young master of the Bai family, and was so affectionate with that witch, it was annoying to watch!

Mo Xi didn't have anything to worry about. Her original goal was to be a princess first and then a royal concubine. It would be even better if she could become the queen. She didn't expect much from the emperor's favor. As long as the status was high, she would be fine with it.

As the daughter of Princess Yonghe, she would not rely solely on men to spend her life. Status and money were her best options.

After lunch, everyone continued on their journey. Ningxu heard Prince Mo say that they still had to travel by land for a few days before they could reach the ferry in Qingcheng, take a boat south along the Qiulin River, and finally reach Huai'an.

The scenery along the way was roughly the same. Ningxu was tired after blowing the wind for the whole morning, so she sat in the carriage and slept obediently in the afternoon. The atmosphere in the three carriages was similar. Not many people talked, and everyone closed their eyes to rest.

At night, Mr. He led the guards to find a very suitable place to stay. The guards built tents one after another, basically one tent for each person, and the guards took turns patrolling outside the tents.

The tent was very narrow, and basically only a thick mattress was used as a bed. There were two guards guarding outside each tent.

Ningxu was lying on the bed, touching the beads in her hand, when she suddenly heard a noise outside the tent. Just as she was about to get up to check, she saw the Third Master bending over and walking in from the doorway. Seeing that it was him, Ningxu continued to lie back on the bed.

Ningxu: "What's wrong? You come to see me now. Don't you want to rest?"

Third Master: "Meng'er~"

The Third Master acted coquettishly and sat down beside Ningxu's bed. "Why are you riding in a carriage with Mo Xun today? Didn't I wave to you?"

Ningxu: "He carried me and walked with him. It's not like you didn't see it."

Third Master: "What about this afternoon? You followed them voluntarily this afternoon. I don't care. You must ride in a carriage with me tomorrow. Isn't it crowded for so many of you to ride together?"

The Third Master looked at Ningxu with resentment. He had come out to play in order to develop feelings with Meng'er, but the "twins" of the Mo family ended up sticking to Meng'er the whole day, and he didn't talk to her except during meals.

"Okay~" Ningxu felt like laughing when she saw the Third Master like this. This young emperor really had no airs at all. Should we say that he had a good temper or that others didn't take him seriously? It seemed that since he came out, the atmosphere between them had lost some of the majesty of the royal family and was more like the family atmosphere of ordinary people.

"I will definitely get on your carriage tomorrow no matter what!" Ning Xu sat up and patted the Third Master on the shoulder, "Don't worry!"

"You said you must ride in a carriage with me!"

Ningxu: "I guarantee to complete the task!"

The next morning, Old He went to each tent to wake people up for breakfast. When Ningxu came out of the tent rubbing her eyes, the Third Master and Prince Mo were already sitting at the dining table eating. Mo Xun and Mo Xiao were washing up, so Ningxu walked towards them, picked up her own portion and started washing up.

Ningxu: "You guys are so quick. You woke up as soon as I called you."

Mo Xun: "You think you can sleep in when you're out for fun? We have to hurry on our way. Sleeping in once we're on the boat won't delay the progress."

Mo Xiao nodded.

"Okay." Ningxu responded indistinctly while brushing her teeth.

After washing up, they came to the table together to eat breakfast. In the distance, the guards were packing up the tent. Mo Xi and Concubine Bai should have already eaten, as they were separated and no one knew what they were looking at.

When it was time to get on the carriage, Ning Xu walked hesitantly at the end of the team, keeping a distance from Mo Xun, for fear that the two of them would force her onto the carriage again.

Prince Mo had already gotten on the carriage, and Concubine Bai had also gotten on her third carriage. Mo Xun seemed to have discovered something, and looked around for Ningxu.

When Mo Xun found Ning Xu, she was sneaking towards the Third Master...

Mo Xun: "Xiao Liu! What are you doing!"

He ran to Ningxu like the wind, grabbed Ningxu's hand and tried to pull her towards the second carriage, but Ningxu refused to obey, and the two of them just stood there frozen.

Ningxu: "I'm not going. I want to ride in a carriage with my brother."

"What are you talking about!" Mo Xun first scolded Ning Xu loudly, then whispered, "Do you still want to maintain your innocence? Aren't you afraid that those old stubborn people in the capital will hear about this and gossip about you?"
