Conquering the country and seeking the empress

Chapter 77

Bamboo leaves danced around Mo Jincheng's feet wearing white brocade boots, and her small feet stepped on the sleepy ground of the bamboo leaves, soft and gentle, just like her appearance in front of people.

After Gao Shu served tea to the two guests in the room, she came out and saw Mo Jincheng standing at the door, opened her mouth, but did not speak, Jin Zhi slowly saluted and backed away.

"It's really time for the second elder to come." Mo Jincheng stepped into the living room, his face as gentle as jade was full of humility and courtesy.

"Prime Minister Mo is back." Duke Yu got up with the support of Duke Jiang, and when he saw Mo Jincheng, he had a smile on his face. "We two old men are here to congratulate the young master on his promotion."

"Mr. Yu is polite." Mo Jincheng nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal the two elders to sit down, while he himself sat on the main seat.

"In today's world, whether you are an official or a citizen, there are still many difficulties!"

"Yes! But the old man still has to thank Mo Xiang for being here. I hope that Mo Xiang will bring some when my nephew enters the court in the future."

"Old Yu, you are too polite. I am just a newcomer who has just entered the workplace. For things like going to the court, you need to ask those who understand right and wrong."

Le Chenggong frowned, and finally sighed helplessly. "It's because the old man is too strong, so I disturbed Mo Xiangye."

As he spoke, he stood up with Jiang Yuan's support; Mo Jincheng didn't hold back, and poured tea for himself, with a touch of unrestrained movement, making her look lazy and frivolous.

"The most wise way to protect yourself is to know what you don't know."

Duke Yu and Duke Jiang, who had just walked to the door, were stunned for a moment, understanding what Mo Jincheng was referring to, and then slowly left after thanking them.

The sound of the bamboo leaves being blown by the wind outside kept coming to Mo Jincheng's ears. Looking at the fallen leaves falling from the door, the feeling of being lost seemed to have been experienced a lot; she didn't know why there was such a feeling. This time, her heart is becoming less and less fond of those dark things, but she has already started, so naturally she will not allow herself to stop.

"Mo Jincheng, what exactly do you want?" Mo Jincheng sighed quietly, his cold figure looked very lonely in the living room.

When Di Xi came, this was what she saw.

That proud and upright figure made him feel a little touched in his heart. At this moment, he had a feeling that he wanted to hold her in his arms and love her dearly.

"You're here." Mo Jincheng raised his eyes to look at Di Xi who suddenly appeared, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved.

"I'm here to congratulate you." Di Xi spoke calmly, stepped forward and sat down opposite Mo Jincheng, pushed the prepared brocade box in front of her, and opened it in front of her.

Inside is a jade hairpin made of white jade, and on the head of the hairpin is a twin flower inlaid with white jade and gold, but unfortunately, there is only one.

"You seem to like gifts for men and women." Mo Jincheng played with the jade hairpin with his slender white hands, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised with a hint of arrogance, and he threw the hairpin into the box mockingly.

"Very suitable for you." Ignoring Mo Jincheng's ridicule, he caught a glimpse of the only cup of steaming tea on the table, took it without thinking, and took a sip under Mo Jincheng's surprised gaze.

"I've drank this glass of water before." Mo Jincheng's expression darkened.

Di Xi frowned slightly, and looked at the teacup on the table, giving off a feeling of disgust; Mo Jincheng looked at his disgust, his complexion gradually darkened, until he saw his soft tongue gently licking his lips A flash of surprise flashed across Mo Jincheng's heart.

"Oh! I didn't know just now." Di Xi said indifferently.

"..."

"Ah Cheng really looks like a girl, this hairpin is definitely suitable for you." Di Xi said, taking another sip of tea in front of Mo Jincheng.

Mo Jincheng lowered his eyes, as if he didn't care about Di Xi's teasing, and looked at the hairpin in the box with a pair of alienated eyes. "There is only one twin flower, which is really not perfect."

"What are you doing?" Confused eyes looked at Di Xi who was blocking the opening of the brocade box with one hand.

"I'm afraid you'll throw it away again." Di Xi's eyes were full of seriousness and earnestness. "It just suits you."

As he said that, he took out the hairpin and prepared to insert it on Mo Jincheng's head. When he saw her black hair reaching her waist, he thought about it, got up and pulled Mo Jincheng to her room; Mo Jincheng was pressed by Di Xi. In front of the dressing table, there was still confusion on his face.

Di Xi fetched a comb, and with her slender fingers skillfully combed her hip-length black hair, then combed patiently with the comb; looking at her coquettish face in the mirror, her face was still a little confused, like an ignorant woman The child, but it caused ripples deeply in his heart.

"Ah Cheng is so pretty." He said.

"You look like a broken sleeve." Mo Jincheng said, letting him play with his hair; but his eyes quietly looked at his beautiful face through the mirror. The phoenix eyes are extremely attractive. If it weren't for the slightly fair skin and his resolute outline, it would be really easy for others to take him as a woman. Thinking of the first sight in the brothel, Di Xi at that time Unrestrained, the whole person is like a prodigal son lingering in the flowers. If it weren't for those calm eyes, it would be really difficult to attract her attention.

In the mirror, she could see that his face was calm and reassuring. Those eyes were not as sharp and steady as usual, but they still caught her sideways.

When Di Xi heard the word "broken sleeve", the head who combed his hair unconsciously paused, but soon he returned to normal.

"I don't mind if the sleeves are broken." He narrowed his eyes to hide the seriousness in his eyes.

Mo Jincheng thought he was joking, so he didn't say much, but changed the subject. "Do you know Cang Ming?"

"Cang Ming?" Di Xi didn't expect to talk about him, so he paused. "Cang Ming is the second son of Emperor Jin, and his mother's status is humble, so he is not favored in Jin State. If it is not for his talent in fighting, there is no room for him in Jin State."

"Cangming has a younger sister named Cangxi. It is rumored that they are brothers and sisters, but they are not. Cangxi's biological mother died young and was raised under the knee of Cangming's biological mother Lan. Therefore, it is understandable that they are said to be biological brothers and sisters. .”

"Why, you want to get involved in the marriage?" Even though Mu Huang put him under house arrest in the palace, he didn't deal with him much, probably because he thought he was useless!And she set her sights on this matter, was it Mu Huang's instruction?
Looking at the gradually formed braids on her hands, Di Xi's eyes were very soft.
