The moon is bright and the night is still young

Chapter 8

"Damn! A few rat droppings really treat me as golden beans, so I'll fight if I'm capable." Mu Xiwen rolled his eyes at the fleeing figures, fastened the whip again, and then turned around and squatted down. Go down and check on the boy on the ground.

The boy was emaciated, curled up like a helpless kitten, and his nose and face were bruised from beatings.But seeing that his clothing and fabrics are all top-grade, he will definitely not be a servant. "Are you okay?" Xi Wen stretched out his hand to help, the boy sat up tremblingly, coughed for a long time, was relieved after being stroked by Xi Wen's back for a long time, raised his face, a pair of eyes as black as black jade Staring blankly at Xi Wen, "Thank you for your rescue. You are alone, why did you sacrifice your life to save me?" "If I don't save you, they will beat you to death with your small body." Xi Wen helped him tidy up. Good skirt, wiped the dust and dirt off his face with his hand, "It's nothing if I was beaten, you are a girl, if you are bullied by them for helping me, that would be bad." "Bully me? Give them a little courage and they will Don't dare." Xiwen thought for a while, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Who are you? Why do they bully you like this."

The boy deftly arranged his clothes, patted the dirt on his body, and his eyes were calm, as if the experience just now was not a big deal. "My name is Gao Qi, and I'm the third son of my father." "Then, aren't you a prince? How dare they bully a prince like this? Tell your father to drag them all out." Gao Qi laughed at himself Smiling, he didn't answer the question, and asked instead, "What should I call a girl?" "My name is Mu Xiwen." Gao Qi stood up, saluted Mu Xiwen who was half a head taller than him, and said, "Thank you, Mu Xiwen, tonight." Girl, help me." "What's the matter, if anyone bullies you in the future, if you don't want to tell your father, just tell me, I live in Mu's mansion, you can come and play with me at any time, I will protect you you."

Gao Qi's eyes flickered for a moment, but he shook his head and said, "Although I am not as strong as elder brothers and others, I am also a man, Gao Qi, how can I let you, a girl, protect me?" "How can you protect me like this?" Take care of yourself, you are as thin as bean sprouts, you have to eat more to gain weight, and you'd better be as fleshy as a big leather ball, so that they won't hurt you even if they want to beat you." Xiwen's words made Gao Qi laugh out loud When he laughed, he no longer looked so preoccupied, and had the innocence that he should have at his age.Xiwen looked at him and smiled, and also laughed silly together.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. When I become stronger in the future, I will protect you." "I don't need your protection. I am as strong as my father, and no one can bully me." Gao Qi fell into deep thought, It seemed to make sense, so he scratched his head and said, "Then I will marry you as my wife. I will spoil you for the rest of my life, and you will protect me for the rest of my life. Is that good?" Waiting for you." "Okay, hook."

The mirror-like moon hangs high in the sky, and the white and bright moonlight shines on the ground. The little fingers of the boy and the girl hooked each other, and made a beautiful promise with Tongyan Wuji.

Since then, Mu Xiwen has a new yearning in his life, that is, looking forward to entering the palace. Xiwen becomes more active than his parents when going to the banquet every year. He starts to choose clothes and jewelry several days in advance, just to look radiant. Facing the boy who promised to marry her.

Not long after the banquet started, Mu Xiwen would gobble it up and sneak out after eating in a hurry.In the Baiyu Pavilion on the lake in the garden, Gao Qi always sat there quietly, holding a book while reading and waiting for the familiar lively figure.

This kind of happy life lasted for a few years, and suddenly came to an abrupt end when Mu Xiwen was 14 years old. It was rumored that the third prince was ill and hadn't stepped out of the Hande Palace for a long time.Until the year of Xi Wenji's ceremony, Gao Qi was never seen in the long pavilion in the garden.

Women will be arranged to marry when they reach adulthood, and Mu Xiwen is also an adult, so the mansion began to receive engagement invitations one after another without exception.Those princes and nobles knew what it meant to be able to marry the daughter of a general of the Zhen Kingdom, and none of them wanted to give up Mu Xiwen, a piece of fat that could help them and even their family to flourish.But what Mu Xiwen was looking forward to the most was still that person's invitation.

Every day when a new job post comes in, Mu Xiwen will read it as soon as possible. Every time, he looks forward to it, and then ends up frustrated.It went on like this for a long time before she remembered that with Gao Qi's own status quo and the attitude of the monarch towards him, he was already being treated very harshly on a daily basis, not to mention the scene of many tigers vying for food like marrying the daughter of a general, I am afraid that he would even write it down. No one would be willing to present it to him even if he got a job post.

At this time, the servants of the mansion were cleaning the courtyard, sweeping the broom to clean up the scattered dirt on the ground.Mu Xiwen stared at the broom, and a bold plan came up spontaneously.

The person she wanted to marry, what Mu Xiwen wanted to do, was there any reason why she couldn't do it, was there any obstacle?If it is cleared away, there will be no obstacles.
