After the first fool

Chapter 239 Shelved Request

Bai Mo opened his mouth, he wanted to reject Bai Qingluo's request, but what was the reason?

"Mo Xiaoran, what do you think?" He could only kick the ball to her, hoping that she would reject the emperor's uncle's request.

Mo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows slightly, and it was only at this moment that she barely came back to her senses, her head slowly drooped, her expression was quite complicated, to be honest, she never thought of getting married in this dynasty, after all, what she wanted, It is a married life that is completely opposite to this world where men are superior to women, and she is like an ordinary woman, guarding the world, exhausting all her efforts for a man, fighting and winning, she can't do it!
"I said before, in this life, I only want you alone, three thousand for drowning, just take one scoop." As if guessing what was in her heart, Bai Qingluo leaned close to her ear and said slowly, word by word, The tone is extremely firm.

Mo Xiaoran suddenly raised her head and looked at him in surprise, "Is what you said true?"

Did she always think that everything she said was a joke?Bai Qingluo narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, every word comes from the heart. In this life, I will never want another woman except you."

There are thousands of women in the world, but the one in front of him is the only one he takes a fancy to.

Mo Xiaoran's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, she completely admitted that she had fallen, and fell into the hands of this indifferent but extremely gentle man, "Okay, I promise..."

"Wait!" Seeing things getting worse and worse, how could Mo Qing care about other things?Hastily stopping, he looked at Mo Xiaoran with a complicated expression. She was once the mother of a country, the original wife of the former emperor Bai Zixu, the queen of a country, but what about Bai Qingluo?He is Dongyao's one-word flat-shouldered king, and her former uncle!With such identities and such a relationship, if the two of them really wanted to get married, wouldn't they be poked at the spine for the rest of their lives?

How could Mo Qing bear to see Mo Xiaoran fall into such a situation?
He admitted that Bai Qingluo is indeed a rare good man in the world, but Ran'er can fall in love with anyone, but she can't marry anyone in the royal family!Women, what is the most important thing?It's fame!
Mo Qing took a deep breath, withstood the pressure from Bai Qingluo, stood up from the chair, looked at Bai Mo above, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the beloved daughter of King Qing and the old minister has been exhausted for many days. The matter can be shelved for the time being, and it will not be too late to discuss after the reception banquet."

It is impossible for him to directly express what is in his heart. Now, he can only procrastinate, and then secretly persuade Ran'er or Bai Qingluo to give up the idea of ​​getting married. This will not hurt face, and the matter can be resolved satisfactorily.

Mo Qing's plan is very good, but often the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

Bai Qingluo narrowed his eyes in displeasure, the undercurrents surged in his eyes, and his cold face was covered with a layer of frost, "Does the Prime Minister think that this king is not worthy of marrying Mo Xiaoran?"

Mo Qing smiled wryly from the bottom of her heart, unworthy?One is a prince who has kept himself clean for many years, and the other is a woman who was once married as a wife. Who is unworthy of whom?

"My lord is worrying too much. The old minister just thinks that marriage is an important matter and needs to be cautious! You can think about it in the long run." For the first time, he contradicted Bai Qingluo with righteous words, just to let Mo Xiaoran keep the reputation he had so hard to get.

It's just that he forgot that as early as today, when she and Bai Qingluo rode together and behaved ambiguously under the watchful eyes of everyone, rumors about the two of them had already spread throughout the entire imperial city.

Naturally, some people questioned, criticized, and despised, but fortunately, they had just won the victory at this time, and Mo Xiaoran had made great contributions on the battlefield, so the common people could only turn a blind eye to the relationship between her and Bai Qingluo. Close one eye, choose to turn a blind eye.

A dark light flashed across Bai Qingluo's eyes, and he was very dissatisfied with Mo Qing's sudden move to dismantle him, but because he was Mo Xiaoran's father, he could only suppress this dissatisfaction in his heart, "Since the prime minister is so Having said that, I don’t want to say anything more, so after the welcome banquet, I hope the emperor can give me a definite answer.”

At this moment, Bai Mo's heightened heart finally fell to the same place. As long as he can hold the emperor's uncle back, it would be better than anything else. He nodded slightly: "Okay, we'll wait until the reception banquet to discuss everything."

"In that case, I request you to resign." Bai Qingluo felt extremely depressed, and pulled Mo Xiaoran up from the chair, without even looking at Mo Qing and the tall-headed Bai Mo, she dragged her out of the royal palace quickly. In the study room, completely forget the three responsible eyes behind him.

Mo Xiaoran's wrist was squeezed tightly in his palm, and there was a slight pain. She frowned uncomfortably, but she didn't make a sound. It wasn't until she arrived at the Imperial Garden that the restlessness in Bai Qingluo's heart dissipated. Look, there is a layer of red strangle marks on her wrist.

There was a sharp pain in my heart, and a trace of self-blame flashed across my eyes, "Why didn't you say it?"

Mo Xiaoran shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and withdrew her wrist from his palm, "This little injury is nothing serious."

Unwilling to see him showing such a heartbroken expression, Mo Xiaoran hastily changed the subject: "Are you upset just now? Because my father rejected your request by speaking out?"

"En." Bai Qingluo frowned secretly, stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, put his chin against her thin shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "If he wasn't your father..."

How could he allow the other party to be so presumptuous?

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoran didn't know whether to touch his friendship, or to laugh at his almost complaining tone, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she relaxed her body, leaned quietly in his arms, and looked around , in front of you, is a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers, everywhere you can see flowers blooming in full bloom, and there is also the sound of running water, which complements the sound of the wind.

Around the nose, you can clearly smell the light floral fragrance, which is refreshing.

"Do you know? In fact, there is no advantage in marrying me." Mo Xiaoran slowly closed her eyes, and said with a smile, "I am very domineering and I like to be jealous. With me, if you dare to treat others If a woman is tempted, I will turn around and leave immediately, if you dare to hide in the golden house outside..." The words suddenly stopped, "Even I don't know what I will do."

She will never tolerate betrayal, especially from the man she loves!Neither body nor mind.

A smile flashed across Bai Qingluo's eyes, and he put his hands around her waist from behind, imitating her appearance, and gently closed his eyes, "I won't."

"Men often talk better than they sing, but when it really comes to that, there will be countless reasons to defend themselves. Don't tell me, you never thought about three wives and four concubines?" Xiao Ran opened her eyes and asked jokingly, but only she knew that at this moment, she was a little nervous.

"You don't believe me?" Bai Qingluo lowered her head, approaching her ear, and asked in a deep voice.

Mo Xiaoran shook her head slowly, leaning her body against his strong chest, "It's not a matter of believing or not, Bai Qingluo, people change, I don't want to marry you in the future, and receive divorce from you." The day of the book."

"Never." Bai Qingluo gritted his teeth, and said firmly, "I've recognized you for the rest of my life."

"Let's talk about it later." Mo Xiaoran didn't want to argue with him about something that hadn't happened yet, so she stretched lazily. The two stood quietly under a pear tree in the imperial garden, surrounded by blooming flowers The brightly colored flower garden and the lush green lawn are dotted with colorful flowers, and the cool breeze blows in, bringing a burst of coolness in summer.

On the four-corner gazebo beside the clear pool, the high-hanging wind chimes also made a delicate and pleasant sound in the breeze.

"By the way, where is Bai Zixu's former concubine now?" Mo Xiaoran suddenly remembered that Liao Xue, who once regarded her as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh, asked aloud.

Bai Qingluo raised her hand to brush away her hair that was blown by the wind, and pinned it behind her ear, "It should be in their respective palaces, except Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Shu?" Isn't that the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom?Mo Xiaoran rolled her eyes, "Shall we go to the prison?"

"What are you doing in the prison?" Bai Qingluo asked puzzledly, she was no longer the master of the harem, and there was no need to see these concubines at all.

Mo Xiaoran grinned, "I'm just curious why she suddenly wanted to make Bai Zixu and Bai Mo fight each other. After all, once the matter is revealed, her life will be gone."

"Have you forgotten her identity and the situation at that time?" Bai Qingluo was quite helpless with her sometimes clever and sometimes stupid temperament, and pinched the tip of her nose, "At that time, there were endless wars on the border, and if the court A mess will definitely affect the morale of the army, what's more, if Zixu and Bai Mo die in Huangquan at the same time, I will definitely rush back to sit in the court. By then, Xuanyuan Wushang will have enough time to attack from behind! Annex Dongyao."

Mo Xiaoran nodded secretly, and felt that this was true, "Xuanyuan Wushang's heart is really cruel enough to stir up foreign wars and also want to stir up internal strife."

"A man is not ruthless, how can he sit on the world?" Bai Qingluo asked with a smile, "However, no matter how powerful he is, wouldn't he still be defeated by you?"

"Are you going around the corner to praise yourself?" Mo Xiaoran glared at him angrily, "The ones of mine who are just clever, but who are really good, are you."

"Is it necessary for us to compliment each other?" Bai Qingluo frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "Since you now know the reason why Concubine Shu did this, do you still want to visit her?"

Mo Xiaoran shook her head, "I'd rather go and see Liao Xue."

How is this woman who once regarded her as her greatest enemy doing now?

"Then let's go, I'll go there with you." Bai Qingluo didn't feel at ease, she went alone, after all, Liao Xue was always a scheming woman, what if she was plotted against her again?
Mo Xiaoran originally wanted him to leave first, but seeing how stubborn he was, she could only shrug her shoulders and agree, and the two walked side by side in the direction of Chaoyang Palace. The building is empty, and on the path outside the hall, you can still see a lot of fallen leaves piled up. Weeds are overgrown in the corners, as if it has not been taken care of for a long time. There is no trace of people nearby. The entire exquisite hall seems to have been deliberately Forgotten here in general.

The concubine who was once honored and favored for a while, now ended up like this, and Mo Xiaoran felt extremely heavy along the way.

Really answered that sentence, the carved railings and jade brickwork are still there, but the red face has changed.
