After Chu Mo left, Fang Mingtong looked at the Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really plan on marrying a princess to him?"
Xu Zhongliang also looked at the Emperor, his eyes filled with doubt. Chu Mo was indeed outstanding. Anyone could see that he had an incomparably bright future. However, no matter how outstanding he was, the Emperor of Da Xia would not take the initiative to marry his own daughter to him.
Although Da Xia was a secular country, it was not lacking in talents! Moreover, from a father's point of view, finding an outstanding genius might not necessarily lead to an outstanding marriage.
The Emperor looked at the two of them and sighed, "I naturally understand what you mean. I am the Emperor of a country, and I don't have many princesses. I dare not say that all of them are outstanding beauties, but they are at least considered pretty. Do you think I'm afraid that I won't be able to get married? However, the problem is, that girl Xing Xue … seems … to have taken a liking to this kid! "
"What? Princess Xing Xue … has taken a liking to Chu Mo? "Xu Zhongliang was slightly startled, then he smiled bitterly," Actually, thinking about it, this matter is reasonable. Princess Xing Xue has been in the sect for so many years, and she is very pure. When she first entered the secular world, she encountered such a thing. It is very normal for her to have a good impression of Chu Mo, her savior. "
Fang Mingtong muttered, "If it is Princess Xing Xue, then she is really a good match for this kid!"
The Emperor sighed: "Forget it, zhen is too lazy to pay attention to these matters of love. Let them be. Today, I called the two of you over because I just received some news. In Da Qi … "
As soon as Chu Mo stepped out of the door, a guard came out from the shadows and led Chu Mo to the banquet hall with a respectful expression.
As the Emperor's personal guard, he was naturally aware of everything that had happened today. Therefore, although Chu Mo was still a teenager, the guard did not dare to treat him like an ordinary child. He was very polite in his speech.
When Chu Mo returned to the banquet hall, the atmosphere was already lively again. It was as if nothing had happened before. However, when Chu Mo's figure appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became stagnant.
A man's reputation is like a tree's shadow.
In the Royal Banquet Hall, in front of the top nobles of Da Xia, His Highness the Crown Prince, the Premier of the Imperial Court, and the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces, he dared to chop off the head of a fourth-ranked official with a single slash … This courage was too terrifying!
The most important thing was that nothing would happen to him after he was done with the chop!
This was a little too terrifying!
Chu Mo looked around and found that the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the others were no longer there. They must have been too ashamed to stay and had gone to send off the Third Prince, Xia Hao.
Xia Hao's departure was equivalent to cutting off one of Crown Prince Xia Ying's arms.
"I guess the Crown Prince hates me even more now." Chu Mo murmured in his heart, but he was not afraid. Because even without this incident, the grudge between him and the crown prince … was already very deep!
Did Zhao Yi have nothing better to do than to find trouble with him? Only an idiot would believe the lies he made up. If there was no one behind him, he wouldn't have dared to do such a thing even if someone lent him a hundred guts!
But whether it was the Emperor, Grand Secretary Xu, or Marshal Fang … none of them mentioned how this matter should be handled.
Chu Mo didn't even ask … It wasn't that he was politically aware, but Chu Mo knew that this matter definitely had something to do with the Crown Prince, but the Emperor probably didn't want this matter to continue to escalate for the time being.
To Chu Mo, this matter definitely couldn't be let go like this.
Even if the Crown Prince didn't find trouble with him anymore, he still had to find an opportunity to clarify things. I, Chu Mo, have no enmity with you, the Crown Prince. Even if my grandfather rejected your recruitment, he is still working for Da Xia. You guys are targeting me like this … What is the meaning of this?
"Chu Mo … Here!" Xu Fufu's voice came from a corner of the main hall. A trace of a smile instantly appeared on Chu Mo's face. Following that, Chu Mo walked in that direction.
Everyone in the main hall couldn't help but make way for this delicate and handsome youth.
Chu Mo smiled in greeting, and everyone else also showed cordial smiles and nodded at this youth who was about to turn fourteen.
From these people's smiles, which were either cordial, respectful, or distant, Chu Mo could very clearly feel their attitude towards him.
He didn't really care in his heart, and walked all the way to where Xu Fufu was.
But at the same time that he saw Xu Fufu, Chu Mo's gaze fell on a young girl sitting quietly in a corner, and he was slightly taken aback. He thought to himself: I didn't expect … that she would actually be here.
At this moment, that young girl was also lifting her head to look at him. Her pure eyes were a little shy and a little curious, and she was looking at him very attentively. Seeing Chu Mo look over, the young girl blushed, but she gave Chu Mo a shy smile.
At the side, Xu Fufu was almost dumbfounded. His face was full of disbelief, and he was even a little suspicious. Who was the real playboy of Yan Huang City?
And then, Xu Fufu watched as Chu Mo nodded slightly at that delicate and beautiful young girl. Xu Fufu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Alright … I, Xu Fufu, am convinced!"
At this moment, Chu Mo had already come to Xu Fufu's side, and sat beside him. Looking at the slightly dazed Xu Fufu, he smiled and said, "What's with that expression? Abandoned by Sister Mei? "
Xu Fufu ignored Chu Mo's teasing, and glanced at the delicate young girl. "Little Black Guy, who is that girl? Why is she staring at you? "
Chu Mo didn't turn his head, but looked at Xu Fufu with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. "Why? You fancy her? "
"Are you kidding me? Why would I fight with my own brother?" Xu Fufu had a look of contempt on his face.
Chu Mo said plainly, "She is a princess. If you want to be the Emperor's son-in-law, you have to fight for it yourself."
Xu Fufu's expression immediately became sluggish. He looked at Chu Mo, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently. He mumbled, "I know who she is …"
At this moment, the delicate young girl actually stood up from her seat, and walked to Chu Mo's side. She gently bent her knees and bowed to Chu Mo. "Last time, I was in a hurry, and I was scared out of my wits, so I didn't have the time to thank you for saving my life. Today, I, Shen Xingxue, thank you for saving my life, Young Master Chu!"
"Shen?" Xu Fufu looked at the delicate young girl strangely. "Aren't you …?"
The delicate young girl glanced at Xu Fufu, and said plainly, "I took my mother's surname."
"Oh, oh, oh, I understand." Xu Fufu suddenly understood.
Chu Mo said, "When I see injustice on the road, I draw my sword to help. No one will sit idly by when they encounter injustice. There is no need to be so polite, Princess."
"Young Master Chu wasn't the only one on the road that day, but the only one who helped was Young Master Chu." Shen Xingxue looked at Chu Mo. "Can I sit here?"
Chu Mo thought of what the Emperor had said to him after beating around the bush, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what to say. He could only nod and say, "Of course, this is Your Highness's territory."
Shen Xingxue's face reddened slightly, and she said softly, "I am also very unfamiliar with this place."
Xu Fufu couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, I have a question that I don't understand. Can I ask?"
Shen Xingxue looked at Xu Fufu. "Imperial Father said that I am not allowed to speak to you …"
"…" Xu Fufu's face was full of black lines.
Chu Mo held back his laughter and muttered softly, "He really is my biological father!"
Xu Fufu said helplessly, "Your Highness, you are thinking too much. I am not the kind of person you think I am."
"Ah, I'm sorry. I-I don't know why Imperial Father said that to me either." Shen Xingxue looked at Xu Fufu with some embarrassment. "If you have any questions, ask away."
Xu Fufu said, "I heard that Princess grew up in a sect?"
"Yes." Shen Xingxue nodded lightly.
"Aren't the disciples from the sect all very powerful? Why did Princess … "Xu Fufu looked at Shen Xingxue with a puzzled expression." This shouldn't be … "
Shen Xingxue might be innocent, but she wasn't stupid. She understood what Xu Fufu was referring to. She immediately blushed and said softly, "I … I don't know martial arts."
