Fragrant willow catkins

Mo Xi frowned. She clearly remembered that she agreed to go out in order to cultivate her relationship with her brother, the emperor. In the carriage, she saw her grandfather being kind to Rumeng and the younger generation of the Mo family treating Rumeng as a friend. These two points made her jealous the most.

After experiencing the dyeing incident with Rumeng, she began to like Rumeng more. After witnessing the interaction and love between Rumeng and the emperor, she gradually let go of her obsession with the position of empress.

She is the daughter of the Mo family. Even if she is not a princess or a concubine, she will never take away someone else's love and break up a couple.

As for now, after being pulled out of the river by Rumeng and seeing the Yuluo Sword with her own eyes, she announced that Rumeng would be the most important person in her heart from now on! Regardless of whether Rumeng agreed or not!

After sorting out her thoughts, Mo Xi's face gradually brightened up. She stood up, swaying, and sat in front of the dressing table, dressing herself up carefully.

Put on beautiful makeup and go find Ru Meng~

On the deck, Mo Xiao also came to Mo Xun. Ning Xu turned around and saw her, and asked Mo Xiao to sit on the swing with her.

Of course Mo Xiao would not refuse Ning Xu and nodded.

Mo Xun stopped the swing, Mo Xiao walked to the swing, Ning Xu helped her sit down together.

Ningxu: “Push it!”

Ningxu turned around and said to Mo Xun, who accepted his fate and pushed the swing hard.

But there was still only cheering on the deck. Mo Xiao seemed to have always been like this, doing things in a measured way, extremely stable, and not talkative, but she would always respond when others spoke to her. She was like an extremely gentle lady from a noble family who never left her house.

But she had indeed been to many places with Mo Xun, and maybe she was just introverted and didn't like to talk.

When Mo Xi returned to the deck again, he could no longer hear Ningxu's cheers. Looking around, he saw Ningxu swinging on the swing alone, while Mo Xun and Mo Xiao were nowhere to be seen.

Ningxu sat high up and had a wider view. There were countless sceneries on both sides of the river. Because it was autumn and winter, the shore was green and yellow. Ningxu could occasionally see groups of fishing boats and sometimes fishing lights on the river bank in the evening.

"Xiao Liu! Stop playing! Come down and practice sword with me!" Mo Xi tilted his head and looked at the Ningxu in the sky, which was still swinging aimlessly.

Ning Xu lowered her head when she heard the voice and saw it was Mo Xi. "Mo Xun, Mo Xiao and the others are practicing on the back deck. Why don't you join them?"

Listening carefully, there were indeed some sounds of swords clashing coming from the rear deck.

Mo Xi was a little unhappy. She looked so good and this guy didn't even look at her? "I don't want you to practice with me. Come down quickly!"

“Hey, I really am…” Ning Xu couldn’t do anything about her, so she slowly slowed down, jumped off the swing, and walked towards Mo Xi.

Mo Xi looked at Ning Xu and smiled foolishly.

Ningxu stopped in her tracks with some caution, glanced at Mo Xi, and then glanced at the swing behind her...

"You asked me to come down, aren't you going to steal my swing?..."

Mo Xi was a little speechless, "Who wants your broken swing? Come on, let's go practice swordplay." Mo Xi walked to Ning Xu and took her arm, and the two walked towards the front deck. After Mo Xi walked straight past the swing, Ning Xu was sure that this guy was really pestering her to practice swordplay.

Ningxu was a little confused. Wasn't this person pestering the Third Master in the palace?

Ningxu: "What's wrong with you these days? Did you take the wrong medicine? Why do you smile foolishly when you see me?"

Hearing this, Mo Xi pretended to be arrogant and restrained her smile a little, "Where am I smiling? You saw it wrong."

Ning Xu stopped walking in confusion and looked at Mo Xi seriously. The smile on her delicate face was not as obvious as before, but it still had some meaning of... trying to please her? ...

Is this girl's character broken? Where is the domineering Fifth Miss from before?

Mo Xi felt embarrassed when she looked at her, but she couldn't hold it back any longer. She had never wanted to get close to anyone since she was a child, and she had always been the one to be accommodated by others. Could Ru Meng really be a witch? Why did everyone who got to know her for a long time like her?

Mo Xi: "Practice swordplay! Practice swordplay!"

At lunch, the table was set but Ningxu didn't see the Third Master coming. After asking, she found out that the Third Master was busy with official business and told them not to wait as he would eat in the study.

Ningxu felt very uncomfortable without the Third Master by her side, because there were many people and the table was big, and before, the Third Master would help her pick up the dishes she didn't have enough to pick up. Now, although everyone at the table was familiar, and she could stand up by herself, she still felt a little weird. After a hasty meal, Ningxu left the table and walked straight to the Third Master's study.

The guard at the study door saw that it was Ningxu, saluted her and opened the door directly.

In the study, the Third Master was sitting alone at the table reading memorials. Mr. He was nowhere to be found. There was a plate on the table, and the food on it looked untouched.

The Third Master thought it was Mr. He at first, so he didn't look up. But when he didn't hear Mr. He's voice, he looked up and found it was Ningxu. He put down the letter in his hand and stretched out his hand to Ningxu, "Have you eaten?"

"I should ask you this question, have you eaten?" Ningxu walked towards the Third Master and put her hand in his palm, then stood beside his chair and looked at the memorial paper on the table.

The Third Master rubbed Ningxu's right hand. Ningxu had always been allowed to see his things whenever she wanted, and he never avoided her. "This is a memorial sent by Prince Lin. It describes what happened in the capital during this period. I just finished reading it and was preparing to eat."

The Third Master didn't need to guess to know that Meng'er was worried that he was too busy with official duties to eat, so she came to watch him. If you say you have to read it after you finish, she will confiscate the memorial directly.

"Something happened in the capital? What happened? Let me see if I can help." Ning Xu came close to the letter and rolled up her sleeves. It was obvious that she could only help solve the problem by force.

The Third Master looked at his empty hands and hurriedly tried to grab Ningxu back, but his hands were empty.

"Everything has been resolved. This is his report."

"Oh~ then let's eat quickly." Ning Xu threw the letter to the other side of the table, moved the plate in front of the Third Master, and handed him the chopsticks.

The Third Master happily took the chopsticks. Seeing that Ningxu was still standing, he wanted to get up and find a stool for Ningxu and move to his side to accompany him.

As soon as he stood up, Ning Xu pushed him back down, "Eat well, I won't sit down, I'll digest the food after I finish eating."

"Okay." The third master nodded obediently and started eating.

Ningxu was wandering around in his study, which was filled with books she had never seen in the imperial study in the palace, both new and old, all written in words she could not understand.

"Hey, why did you bring secret guards with you when you went out this time? Aren't you afraid of others' suspicion by doing it so openly?" Ningxu thought of the incident on the swing in the morning. The Third Master didn't have a supervisor at that time, so he must have been handling official business.

Third Master: "On the surface, they are the imperial guards in the palace, but in fact, they are my spies."

"They're going to place spies in their own imperial guards?!" Ning Xu was surprised and walked quickly to the Third Master.
