I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 60
Under the magnificent sunshine, the green lotus leaves are blooming with dazzling light.By the pool, occasionally colorful butterflies fly by, one of which lands on the tip of Huan'er's fragrant hair.

Mo Yunxiao wanted to reach out to catch it, but the wind in her palm still disturbed it and scared it away.She opened her palms, and there was only empty air.Mo Yunxiao looked annoyed, but Huan'er, who was sitting next to her, covered her mouth and giggled.

"Die'er wants to fly away, why bother to keep it." Huan'er's words were to comfort Mo Yunxiao.As she spoke, she gently took Mo Yunxiao's arm with her hand, and leaned her head on her shoulder.

This is still a pair of master and servant, they are clearly extremely close sisters.

Mo Yunxiao looked at her and also smiled.She originally thought that Cheng Yu was also a Pianpianjia son, but when she saw him today, he was very mediocre.With Huan'er's beauty, why does she have such affection for him?Perhaps beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

So Mo Yunxiao asked: "Huan'er, what do you like about Cheng Yu?"

Huan'er raised her head and looked at her, with a look of sadness in her eyes. "He used to be eloquent, but not like now."

"Then he..."

"Since the family change, he seems to be a different person." Speaking of this, Huan'er also became sad,

Mo Yunxiao nodded understandingly, and said, "No one would be able to bear such a disaster. Over the years, he has never done anything to you..."

In the end, she still hesitated.She originally wanted to say, "He never hated you?" But seeing Huan'er's happy appearance in love, she couldn't say that anyway.

But Huan'er had already guessed what she meant, so she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "He won't hate me. He knows that it is the court and the officials who have caused us to be like this. Besides, it is also a good thing for him to come back this time." I begged your majesty hard. Your majesty has a good heart and was moved by me, so I took some effort to call him back. So no matter what, he won't hate me."

"You and Cheng Yu have a marriage contract, and you also told the prince?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

Huan'er's pink face turned red, she lowered her head shyly and said, "That's not true, I just said he is my cousin, I beg the king to save him."

"Oh." Mo Yunxiao responded, looking into the distance of nothingness.For some reason, her heart was always restless.Ever since she saw Cheng Yu for the first time, she could read a sense of uneasiness from his flickering eyes.

"Your Majesty is a good man." Looking at the pond, Huan'er said happily, "Your Majesty's great kindness, Cheng Yu and I will never be able to repay you in our lifetime."

"But people say that King Jian is a lecherous and frivolous person, nicknamed 'the dragon in the flower'." Mo Yunxiao looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said, "With our Huan'er's beauty, can't we impress him? "

This was originally a joke, but instead of making Huan'er laugh, it made her eyes dim. "I'm just a little maid, how can I be favored by the king?"

Hearing what she said, Mo Yunxiao frowned suddenly.Although she didn't get along with Huan'er very long, she knew that Huan'er was a free-spirited woman, and she would never be so self-pitying.

"Huan'er, you..." Mo Yunxiao was about to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Huan'er.She suddenly raised her head and said happily: "I've been talking about me for a long time, girl, how did you come in? Ah! That little brother called you 'Linglong girl' just now, could it be... Could it be..."

Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I am the Linglong girl who exchanged thirty singers. Oh, it's not because I want to rescue you!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and poked Huan'er's temple heavily.

Huan'er sneered, and said, "Young lady treats me well, I will remember it all my life. It's just that the king has to repay your kindness. So, I can't go out with you right now."

Mo Yunxiao smiled helplessly, and said, "I understand. You are a person who values ​​affection. Besides, Cheng Yu is here to stop you, and your thoughts are no longer on my side."

"Oh, my good girl!" Huan'er hugged Mo Yunxiao's arms tightly with both hands, and said coquettishly: "You just have to be considerate of me this time. If the king treats me well, I will naturally have to repay it. Cheng Yu has been waiting for me for so many years, and I can't just walk away."

Mo Yunxiao's heart clicked again, and she asked, "If Cheng Yu changes his mind, then you..."

"Then I...then I..." Huan'er said with a choked voice, "Then I'd rather throw myself into this pool and die."

Mo Yunxiao's heart tightened, she hastily covered her mouth with her hands, and said, "Good girl, don't say such things."

"Ahem!" A heavy cough came from behind the two of them.The two looked back, and it turned out that Cheng Yu was already standing behind them.

"Big... big girl." He called softly.

Huan'er stood up abruptly, went up to meet her and asked with a smile, "You're back! What did your Majesty tell you to do?"

"Ah?" Cheng Yu was stunned, with a look of distraught, Qiqi Ai said: "Oh, the king wants to reuse me, saying that it will be beneficial for him to do things for him in the future."

"Ah! Is this true?" Huan'er clapped her hands happily, almost jumping up: "This is great. I didn't expect the king to take such care of us. Cheng Yu, we have to remember For the kindness of the prince, I will always repay it well in the future."

"Well, yes, yes." Cheng Yu lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Huan'er.

Mo Yunxiao watched from the side, feeling that Cheng Yu's behavior was somewhat suspicious.But she is also constantly examining her heart, is it because Huan'er is no longer dependent on herself because of jealousy?If this is the case, then I am too villainous.

Thinking of this, her heart ached a little.She desperately wants to do something for Huan'er, but does Huan'er really need it?The answer may be no.

So she wanted to change her plan, Huan'er would not go with her so soon, so she wanted to stay and observe Cheng Yu.If he really has not changed his mind, even if Huan'er stays in the palace forever, he has nothing to worry about.

"Girl!" Huan'er pulled Cheng Yu with one hand, and pulled towards Mo Yunxiao with the other, and said to her, "I'm extremely happy now. Not only because I can meet Cheng Yu often, but also for you, girl. "

"For me?" Mo Yunxiao was a little confused and asked, "What is there to be happy about?"

"Your Majesty!" Huan'er said with a smile, "Your Majesty is not like the outsiders say, he is a very affectionate person. I heard that the girl is sick these days, and the Majesty has also lost weight. The Majesty is honorable, What kind of woman can't get it? But he can still devote everything to the girl, such a beloved, you can't find the girl even with a lantern!"

Mo Yunxiao squinted and smiled, and said, "Ha! Now that you have Cheng Yu, you are eager to push me out, aren't you?"

Huan'er giggled, and said, "Where did the girl say that? I was worried about the girl. Don't miss out on a good marriage because of the reservedness of the daughter's family!"

"Alas!" Mo Yunxiao sighed, and said again: "If I let him know that I came to the mansion for another purpose, I'm afraid they won't treat me like this."

Huan'er also hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's okay to think about it. Your Majesty understands righteousness most, and if you judge others by yourself, you will definitely understand the girl's difficulties."

"Ha! You've only met him a few times, and you're just talking for him?" Mo Yunxiao was about to twist Huan'er's ears as she spoke.

Huan'er hid back and said with a smile, "Girl, please forgive me. Although the king doesn't know each other very well, he can catch a few things in his words. Girl, just trust Huan'er, there will be no mistakes."

"Okay, okay, take care of your Cheng Yu first. I'm going back too." Mo Yunxiao said with a smile, and then gently pushed her.

Huan'er looked back at Cheng Yu, smiled, and said to Mo Yunxi, "Girl, you must remember what I said. The two of us will visit you in the next two days."

"Okay, let's go." Mo Yunxiao pretended to be impatient, and let the two of them leave far away.

Mo Yunxiao turned around, and looked at the pool of delicate lotus again, imagining a lot.In her heart, Song Mingxuan's shadow has gradually faded away, while Zhao Si is getting closer little by little.Although Zhao Si is not as handsome as Song Mingxuan, he is also quite charming and charming.Thinking of how deplorable his fate was, Mo Yunxiao couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

He is indeed very concerned about himself, just like Huanhu and Huan'er said, throughout the ages, how many princes and generals only treat women as playthings, how many of them treat others sincerely like him?
Suddenly, she thought of Zhao Ji again.That hateful Zhao Ji actually wanted to openly do things by the Jinming Pond.She couldn't help gritting her teeth, feeling extremely annoyed in her heart.It's a pity that he is not here now, otherwise he would have to be scolded.

Compared with Zhao Si, Zhao Ji is indeed too frivolous, neither the majesty of an emperor nor the sense of security of a lover.After all, he is just a childish boy.

However, this big boy is facing a life and death crisis.Zhao seems to want to unite with Liu Dadao to kill him, so as to ascend to the throne of God.

Although Zhao Ji is hateful, he is not guilty of death.Even though Mo Yunxiao knew clearly that this guy would lead to the downfall of the Northern Song Dynasty in the future, at this moment, he still didn't want him to die so tragically.

"Looks like it's time for me to confess to him." Mo Yunxiao thought in her heart.She wants to explain her background clearly to Zhao Si, and she wants to persuade him to let Zhao Ji go.If he can really let Zhao Ji go, it seems that he can really accept him.

Even though Mo Yunxiao had developed a certain affection for him, such affection could not withstand the impact of bloody killings.She can't imagine spending her life with someone who treats other people's lives like nothing.

She thought as she walked, and before she knew it, she had returned to her own residence.A group of maids rushed out to welcome her and asked her where she had gone, but she couldn't find it no matter how hard she searched.Mo Yunxiao just made a few perfunctory sentences, and didn't say anything about meeting Huan'er and Cheng Yu.

"Miss Linglong, you have frightened the little ones." A maid said, "Without Sister Coral, the little ones have lost their backbone. If the king asks, it will be really unimaginable."

Mo Yunxiao replied with an apologetic smile, and said, "I was too reckless. I just walked around and forgot about you. I won't do it in the future."

Just then, the coral came back.But she was a little lost, and almost bumped into Mo Yunxiao when she entered the room.

"Sister Coral!" The maids shouted, and she was startled suddenly, and she couldn't help but "Ah!", and repeatedly accused her, saying, "The little one hit the girl, and he deserves death."

Mo Yunxiao turned her head and looked at her, seeing her haggard face and slack eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she asked, "What did your majesty tell you to do?"

"Oh, it's Prime Minister Zhang Xianggong who came to the house, and the king wants the young one to serve him." Shan Shan said.

There was nothing wrong with her answer, but her voice trembled slightly.All the maids looked at each other and noticed something was wrong, but they could only look at each other and dared not say anything more.

Mo Yunxiao was even more worried, took Shan Shan's hand, and said, "I think you look very bad, but are you sick?"

"Ah? No!" Coral pulled her hand out of Mo Yunxiao's hand like an electric shock, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss, I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?" Mo Yunxiao asked with a frown.

"It's really all right." Shan Shan smiled after finishing speaking, and then said to the maids: "Okay, don't just stand here stupidly, the girl is just recovering from a serious illness, and it's time to rest."

So, everyone withdrew with the coral.Mo Yunxiao wanted to ask her a few more questions, but she didn't give her this chance.

This day passed quickly, also because Mo Yunxiao was thinking a lot.After lunch, she just wanted to take a light sleep for a while, but she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes again, it was already dark.She was a little annoyed about wasting time, but she was also glad that Song Mingxuan didn't break into her dream again.

When she got out of bed in draped clothes, the lights in the room were already on, and a long figure flickered behind the screen.

"Coral? Is that you?" She leaned over as she asked, only to find that the person sitting at the table was not Shan Shan, but Zhao Si.

Against the backdrop of the candlelight, Zhao Si's face was brimming with vigor.He was smiling to himself.This time, Mo Yunxiao didn't feel embarrassed.

"My family has seen the king." Mo Yunxiao saluted lightly, and enjoyed the process of saluting to him.

"I haven't seen you for a day, it's more polite." Zhao Si said with a smile: "I brought you pastries to taste, and I didn't disturb you when I saw you were asleep."

"Your Majesty is bothering you." Mo Yunxiao walked over slowly and said, "Every time Your Majesty comes over, I always fall asleep. It's embarrassing."

"What's so embarrassing?" Zhao Si didn't leave her eyes for a moment: "I can only blame me for not taking good care of you, which made you sick. Otherwise, how could you have been asleep."

Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty is as careful as a hair, which warms people's hearts. Does Your Majesty treat other women as well?"

Zhao Si paused for a moment, then suppressed his smile, and said, "From now on, I will only treat you, Miss Linglong."

Mo Yunxiao looked at him for a long time, but he didn't smile, and looked at her seriously.

Mo Yunxiao didn't speak, just stood up, walked to the edge of the open hanging window, and let the evening wind blow on her face.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.She could feel Zhao Sizheng walking towards her from behind.A man's body temperature will soon envelop himself.But at this moment, he just put his hand on her shoulder lightly.

"Can you go out for a walk with me?" Mo Yunxiao also stretched out her hand to caress his hand, and said while looking out the window.
