On this day, Glass City was exceptionally lively. The last time it was so lively was a year ago at Master Qingyun's birthday banquet. But at that time, most of the guests who came to the banquet came with ulterior motives. But this time, they were all in a different mood. There was a complicated feeling of awe and admiration, as well as the vague intention of showing goodwill.
In the past year, whether it was the Prince Ding Mansion or the entire world, there had been earth-shaking changes. Anyone with eyes could see that there was no one in the world who could compete with Prince Ding. At least, there wouldn't be anyone in the next ten years. And everyone couldn't help but worry that when the Prince Ding Mansion regained its strength, it would once again send its troops to conquer the world. And when that time came, who would be able to resist the Prince Ding Mansion's cavalry? If the allied forces of the three countries had not just been defeated, and if it wasn't for the fact that the difference in power and influence was too great, it would probably be another allied attack. But now, since they didn't have the strength to meet force with force, they could only show weakness.
The banquet this time was held in the Prince Ding Mansion. Because it was only the children's first birthday banquet, the Prince Ding Mansion didn't invite too many guests. The guests were only the envoys of the various countries and the civil and military officials of the Prince Ding Mansion. The other famous people of the various countries were not invited, so naturally, there weren't many guests. But the people of Glass City were still lively as if it was a festival.
In the inner courtyard of the Prince Ding Mansion, the two babies woke up early in the morning and put on new exquisite clothes. Ye Li carried them and played with Hua Tian Xiang and the others who had already arrived. The two Madams Xu and Qin Zheng were busy with the banquet, so the children could only be left in the care of a few unmarried girls.
"Mother … Goddess …" Xin 'er was wearing a pink dress embroidered with hibiscus. Around her neck was an exquisite jade longevity lock. Around her hands and feet were silver rings. Sitting in Mo Wu You's embrace, she was as exquisite and beautiful as the jade girl beside Goddess Guanyin in a painting.
Wu You smiled as she caressed Xin 'er's little face and said, "Little Xin' er, Mother is busy. I'll come and see you in a while." When she woke up early in the morning and did not see her mother, Xin 'er was unhappy. "Mother, mother …"
When Lin 'er, who was beside her, heard his sister call out' mother ', he also joined in the commotion. Moreover, Lin 'er was clearly more mobile than his sister. He climbed up from the soft floor and wobbled his way out. Hua Tianxiang hurriedly carried him back. "Lin 'er, be a good boy. Mother will come to see you in a while. Good baby, play with sister first. "
Hearing the word 'sister', Lin 'er immediately tilted his head to look at Xin' er. By the time Hua Tian Xiang put them together, the siblings had completely forgotten about looking for their mother. Everyone couldn't help but smile as they watched the brother and sister sitting on the wide, soft couch and babbling words that adults couldn't understand.
"Xin 'er, big brother is here to see you!" Outside the door, Mo Xiaobao brought Xu Zhirui, Leng Junhan, and Qin Lie excitedly rushed in and stretched out his arms to hug Xin 'er. Xin 'er obviously liked Mo Xiaobao, her big brother, very much. She immediately stretched out her little hands to ask for a hug.
Mo Xiaobao happily hugged his sister in his arms and looked at the other children as if showing off. However, he disdained his little brother in every possible way, thoroughly implementing the glorious tradition of the Prince Ding Mansion where the girls were treasures and the boys were grass. Little Mo Yufeng, who was just one year old, also disliked his big brother. Seeing Mo Xiaobao carry away his sister who was with him every day, he immediately became angry. "Xiaobao is bad! Big sister … big sister! "
Being called by his nickname by his little brother, Mo Xiaobao's handsome little face immediately darkened. Xin 'er, who was in his arms, turned her head to look at her little brother, then looked at her big brother who was holding her. She was in a difficult position for a moment, but still reached out to her little brother who was on the soft couch. "Little brother, little brother …"
Helpless, Mo Xiaobao could only put his little sister back on the soft couch. Thus, the two little dolls hugged each other again. Mo Yufeng stared at Mo Xiaobao with his big watery eyes, as if the person in front of him was a big bad person who wanted to separate him and his little brother.
Seeing Mo Xiaobao's face twisted in anger, everyone unkindly laughed out loud.
"Little heir, why did you come over?" Mo Wuyou covered her mouth and asked with a smile. Mo Xiaobao had a good relationship with Mo Wuyou since he was young. Hearing her question, he smiled and said: "It's very busy outside. Mother disliked us for being a hindrance, so she let me come over to see my little brother and sister."
Mo Wuyou nodded. Today was indeed very busy. Moreover, the Princess of Nan Zhao had gone missing and had not been found yet. The Prince Ding Mansion was full of people coming and going, so it was not safe. In comparison, the inner courtyard that was heavily guarded and no outsiders were allowed to enter was much safer. Mo Wuyou smiled and said: "That's very good. Little heir, come with me and Tian Xiang Yun Ge to take care of Lin 'er and Xin' er."
Mo Xiaobao looked resentfully at his younger brother and sister who were hugging each other lovingly on the couch. He really wasn't an evil mother-in-law who wanted to separate a pair of mandarin ducks, okay?
No matter how lively the front courtyard of the Prince Ding Mansion was, with people coming and going, the study in the inner courtyard was as quiet as usual. As the hosts, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li did not go out to receive guests. Instead, they leisurely sat in the study and read. With the Prince Ding Mansion's current strength and status, there were very few guests that they could personally receive. Moreover, guests with truly high status would not arrive early.
Mo Xiuyao leisurely flipped through some unofficial history. He half reclined on the couch, his head resting on Ye Li's leg. His snow-white hair casually fell over Ye Li's knee, with a few strands falling to the ground.
"Reporting to Princess Prince, Princess, the Queen of Nan Zhao has entered the city." At the door, Zhuo Jing calmly reported.
Mo Xiuyao flipped through a page and calmly replied, "Understood. Send someone to keep an eye on her. Save the Queen of Nan Zhao when the time is right. Tell them not to act rashly and do their best to ensure the Queen's safety. "
"This subordinate obeys."
Ye Li frowned slightly and said, "What about the little prince?"
Qin Feng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes, I haven't seen the little prince. However, we have already placed spies in all the places in Li City where people could be hidden. Therefore … this subordinate suspects that Mo Jingli may have hidden the little heir in a place that we would not suspect. "
Ye Li was silent. Of course she knew who Qin Feng was referring to. She lowered her head to look at Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao's eyes were half closed as he leisurely said, "Do what you need to do. You must save the little prince of Nan Zhao. Right now, Nan Zhao is … very important to us. "What was important was not Princess Anxi and the little prince, but their identities. In the past few years, the Prince Ding Mansion had no plans to send any more troops. But even so, Xi Ling and the Da Chu State still needed someone to keep them in check. And in the south, the valiant Nan Jiang was naturally the best choice. At least for the next few decades, Nan Zhao would be the Prince Ding Mansion's ally.
"This subordinate understands. This subordinate will take his leave." With Mo Xiuyao's declaration, Qin Feng naturally had no more misgivings. He turned and left to handle matters.
In the room, Ye Li calmly said, "Mo Jingli definitely has more than just Mo Jingyu under his control." Mo Jingyu had just arrived in Li City and had no foundation in Li City. Mo Jingli could enter and leave Li City without a trace. This was not something that Mo Jingyu could do. There must be someone who was extremely familiar with Li City's environment and various matters helping him in secret.
