Heaven Defying Formation Mage

Chapter 389 I'm a Man of Principles
Xia An didn't know much. In other words, the Xia family didn't want Mo Xingnian, an outsider, to know too much royal family secrets, so the information revealed was very little.In their eyes, if Tuoba Jueye hadn't fallen in love with Mo Xingnian and only wanted to see Mo Xingnian, they might not even be interested in knowing whether Mo Xingnian was a man or a woman.

Mo Xingnian understood and accepted it.Because she doesn't like being noticed by too many people, she wants to take a low-key route, so before returning to Beicheng, she has already changed her face back to that dark face.

Although Xia An is honest and honest, he is a person with loyalty in his heart, so Mo Xingnian is not sure whether Senior Brother Xia will reveal his true face after seeing him, but Senior Brother Liu is different.One is that Liu Chuqiu has already seen it, and there is no way to do it; the other is that Liu Chuqiu has no one to speak at all, and he has no motive to leak it.

After notifying Mo Xingnian to arrange for her to enter the palace three nights later, Xia An apologized and said that she had to go back quickly.

The Xia family's method was very impolite, they were notifying Mo Xingnian, not discussing with her, and there was a hint of an order.

After Xia An left, Mo Xingnian had a playful expression, as if he thought this Xia family was really interesting.Originally thought that Xia Ping was so weird that he must have been influenced by his father's genes, but now seeing Xia An's father's behavior, Mo Xingnian began to feel that the Xia family's brothers who opposed each other in the court were actually very similar in their bones.

"I'm sorry." Liu Chuqiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said three words, apologetic in his eyes.

Mo Xingnian was taken aback for a moment: "Why is Senior Brother Liu apologizing?"

"This is originally a matter of my Northern Jin Kingdom..." Liu Chuqiu did not finish speaking, but the apology in his eyes was extremely sincere.He knew that Mo Xingnian couldn't worry about these things at all, and the Xia family's attitude was really unpleasant.But Liu Chuqiu couldn't choose his position, the only thing he could do was apologize.

Although he only said half a sentence, Mo Xingnian understood what he meant, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled brightly: "Senior Brother Liu, you are welcome. Since I have agreed to you, I will naturally go all out. What's more, I owe you You two princes have the same favor." After speaking, she looked at Mohaxiu.

Mo Haxiu nodded agreeingly: "Senior Brother Liu, don't worry! Xing Nian will definitely do what he promised!"

Three days later, night.

The members of the Xia family were very punctual, and if they came to pick up Mo Xingnian at Xu time, they would definitely not arrive a moment earlier.

Before, Liu Chuqiu specifically asked Mo Xingnian if he planned to see Tuoba Jueye with his real face, because he thought that Xing Nian's real face was as beautiful as a fairy, and if Tuoba Jueye saw it, he would definitely be more moved.

As a result, before Mo Xingnian answered, Mo Ha Xiu was the first to veto it: "Senior Brother Liu, Xing Nian is here to lobby, not to seduce~!" It was an accident that Senior Brother Liu saw Mo Xingnian's appearance. It's an unexpected accident, and you still want that kid Tuoba Jueye to feast his eyes?There are no doors!But speaking of it, Senior Brother Liu was really calm after seeing Mo Xingnian's true face!

Under Mohaxiu's strong opposition, on this night, Mo Xingnian went to see Tuoba Jueye with a face that was not much whiter than that of the night.Mohaxiu was also there, and he plausibly told the members of the Xia family that he would not interfere in any way, but just wanted to ensure the safety of Xing Nian.

The Xia family has already dredged the channel to enter the palace, and they don't care about bringing this extra one, and when it comes to changing into the clothes of the guards and standing outside the second emperor's uterus, no one will notice.

Watching Mo Xingnian and Mo Haxiu leave, Xia An said to Liu Chuqiu, who was left alone, "Senior Brother Liu, I guess they won't be able to come back in a while. Let's go! Let's go have a drink first!"

The place Xia An chose was a restaurant that was open [-] hours a day, next to a clear lake, sitting in an elegant seat on the second floor, where he could eat while looking at the lake and water, even at night watching the moon, it had a special flavor.

In Xia An's mind, or in the minds of all Meiyuan students, Liu Chuqiu is a very calm person.

But today...

"Senior Brother Liu?" Xia An hesitated to speak while holding the wine glass.

Liu Chuqiu on the opposite side of him never drank, so he always ate vegetables with a fixed rhythm.Hearing Xia An calling him, Liu Chuqiu responded without raising his head and eyes: "Huh?"

"Senior brother Liu, I remember that you never eat spicy food, but why do you keep eating it today..."

Before Xia An could say the word pepper, Liu Chuqiu suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the red pepper on his chopsticks. His expressionless face turned red, and he took a big mouthful of tea with tears in his eyes.

"Why are there chili peppers?" Liu Chuqiu felt his tongue and his entire mouth spewing fire, and couldn't help frowning as he stared at the dish in front of him that was full of bright red chili peppers.

Xia An was speechless.He knew that Senior Brother Liu didn't like spicy food, so he specially ordered a few dishes that suited his taste, and then he ordered a plate of spicy and explosive dishes for himself.Who knew that when the food was served, Xiao Er put the plate of peppers in front of Senior Brother Liu, and Senior Brother Liu kept eating the peppers, making himself think that Senior Brother Liu would also like to eat peppers, so he didn't dare to say anything for a long time .

After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea and rinsing his mouth, Liu Chuqiu felt that his mouth was still hot. He looked down at the plate of chili peppers, and then at the other dishes. He felt that he had no appetite at all, so he turned around and looked into the lake. The bright moon reflected.

Tonight is the first quarter moon, the moon is like a hook, reflected on the quiet water, as deep and beautiful as a picture scroll.

Xia An stood up, followed Liu Chuqiu's gaze, and sighed after a long while: "Senior brother Liu, do you think the Second Prince will be persuaded by Xing Nian?"

Liu Chuqiu stared at the crescent moon, was silent for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "You know, this is not what I care about."

"If the First Prince ascends the throne, I'm afraid that the Northern Jin Kingdom will shed blood like rivers!" Xia An sighed with a worried look.

Liu Chuqiu's eyes were lowered, looking at the pitch-black lake under the stairs, with occasional silver lights, his tone still could not detect any emotion: "Since ancient times, when fighting for imperial power, which one doesn't shed blood like a river?"

Originally, Xia An was also following his father's order to win over Liu Chuqiu, but he didn't expect Senior Brother Liu to be taciturn and irrelevant on the surface, but he saw it very clearly in his heart.Knowing that he would definitely not be able to convince Senior Brother Liu to side with the Second Prince, Xia An did not force it.Looking at the surface of the lake wrinkled by the breeze, he sighed, "North City...is going to be in chaos!"

It is very difficult to enter the palace, and it is even more difficult to meet the emperor, but it is very easy to meet Tuoba Jueye.

unexpected.There were no guards guarding Tuoba Jueye's palace strictly. The guard sent by the Xia family greeted the guards outside the palace, and Mo Xingnian went in.Mohaxiu stayed outside and waited.

Like his people, Tuoba Jueye's palace didn't have too many golden and shining decorations, the overall style was simple and tough, but the occasional few quaint decorations were of inestimable value.Perhaps, this is called low-key luxury with connotations!

Mo Xingnian looked around at those simple furnishings while walking, secretly estimating how much these antiques could sell for.oops!Why put all these priceless treasures on the table?Isn't this tempting yourself?Anyway, there is quite a lot of money in the imperial palace of the Northern Jin Dynasty, so I treat myself as robbing the rich and giving to the poor... I am still struggling in my heart whether I should take a few out, and Mo Xingnian's hand has already gently caressed the flower hanging on the wall. That gold inlaid jade disc.

"Xing Nian, you are here! I knew it, you must be back!" Tuoba Jueye's voice suddenly came from the inner bedroom, and his tall figure appeared at the corner.When Mo Xingnian entered the palace, he didn't deliberately lower his footsteps, so Tuoba Jueye immediately noticed someone coming in, but he had never seen anyone entering the palace, so he could tell who it was just by the sound of footsteps , it can be seen that he has been madly in love with Mo Xingnian in his heart during this time.

Uh... Does this count as coveting other people's treasures and being caught?Mo Xingnian withdrew his hand from the gold inlaid jade disc in embarrassment, and then smoothed things over with a dry smile: "This piece of jade...it's so beautiful!"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Tuoba Jueye looked at her affectionately and said indifferently.He looked a little haggard, a beard had grown on his chin but had not been shaved off, and his wheat-colored skin had become fairer because he hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time.

Mo Xingnian rolled his eyes at his appearance, and then declined righteously: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. I don't want it!" Tuoba Jueye, I am a principled person, and I will never As soon as you send it, I will accept it immediately!So, if you really want to send me off, then strongly demand to give it to me again, I will definitely accept it reluctantly!Mo Xingnian blinked his big eyes and looked at Tuoba Jueye earnestly, trying his best to convey the cry in his heart.

"Xing Nian, you are really different! You really treat money as dung! I knew you were not the kind of vulgar woman who is greedy for power and money!" Tuoba Jueye obviously did not understand the meaning in her eyes, but was extremely excited He rushed forward with a stride, and grabbed Mo Xingnian's shoulders tightly, with a look of joy in finding a confidant.

ah?Seeing money as dung?Are you talking about me?Mo Xingnian was stunned.Hello!Didn't you say you want to give me that disc inlaid with gold and jade?If I refuse once, you won't mention it again. Isn't it really insincere?
Until Tuoba Jueye forced him to walk into the palace, Mo Xingnian still reluctantly looked back at the round and translucent gold-encrusted jade disc on the wall, wishing he could jump over and take a bite.My flesh hurts!The gold inlaid jade disc that I got flew away!Sure enough, there are many treasures in the palace. When I entered the door just now, it seemed that the door handles were made of gold. When I left later, I had to pick a piece and take it away!
From the outside to the inside, along the way, Mo Xingnian's eyes never stopped, looking around, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

If Grand Uncle Xiaoqin saw it, she would definitely laugh at Mo Xingnian as a country bumpkin, but Xi Shi is in the eye of a beholder, and Tuoba Jueye saw her appearance like this, and only thought she was extremely cute, frank and unaffected.

"Xing Nian, are you satisfied with my palace?" Tuoba Jueye looked at Mo Xing Nian's curious look with a dumbfounded smile, his eyes full of affection, and said slowly, "I said, I want to marry you My concubine. Marry me, and everything in this palace is yours, including me."
