No matter how slow-witted Mo Xi was, he should have understood the meaning of Eunuch Li's gaze. He couldn't help but feel angry. He turned around to look for the old fox, but he saw that he had already slipped away. Mo Xi was speechless for a moment. He sighed and walked into the hall. When he reached Princess Meng Ze's table, he asked, "… Why are you here?"
The night was cold and Meng Ze's body was weak. She was wearing a light blue overcoat. She coughed a few times and said warmly, "Brother Wang's body is not well. These days, he has no time to review the memorials. I came to help him."
As a woman, the Murong Meng Ze was able to become one of the Three Gentlemen of Chong Hua. This was not unreasonable.
She treated her people with benevolence and virtue. She was well aware of the current situation and military affairs. Her understanding of the way of the country was not inferior to that of men. Don't look at how weak she was now. This was because she had treated Mo Xi's injuries a few years ago. Before this, whether it was in terms of magic or spiritual power, it could be said that she was gifted, leaving others in the dust.
Now, although she could no longer go to the front of the battlefield, she could still sit in the tent. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no precedent in the Jiuzhou continent for a woman to rule a country, Jun Shang would have conferred her an official title and let her do some practical things legitimately. Unfortunately, in the eyes of most people, a woman was still a woman. She should be tidying her hair and putting on makeup in front of the mirror. Whether it was talent or intelligence, it was fine to contribute it to her husband, father, or brother who was an official in the court. What was there for a woman to show her face in public?
Therefore, even if the Murong Meng Ze was a princess of a country, when people talked about her, the most they would say was, "Oh, that's Lord Xi He's confirmed wife. It's just that the marriage hasn't been betrothed yet."
In this situation, Jun Shang had no choice. Even if Meng Ze was talented and virtuous, he couldn't put her in an important position. However, he didn't want to delegate some of the core royal matters to ordinary officials. He wanted to, but he didn't have the ability. Looking around, other than Meng Ze and Yan Ping, there was only one Murong Lian left.
Needless to say, Yan Ping, she had big breasts but no brain. Nine out of ten noble sons had slept with her. She could draw erotic pictures, but to let her read military reports was simply a joke.
As for Murong Lian … … Not to mention that his grandfather once had the intention to usurp the throne, just based on the fact that the previous Monarch had seriously considered adopting Murong Lian as his son before he passed away and made him the Crown Prince, it was impossible for the Monarch to not hold any grudges against him.
So there was only Meng Ze.
Murong Mengze was smart, wise, clear-headed and capable. Her only regret was that she had given birth to a girl. But who said that this regret wasn't the biggest reassurance for Jun Shang?
In this turbulent world of mortals, a woman would not be able to stir up any storm. She would not be able to obtain power, influence, or support. As long as this woman did not marry, the man closest to her in this world would only be her elder brother, Jun Shang himself.
He was the most magnanimous towards her.
Lighting up the candles in the library, Meng Ze turned her face to the side and said softly to the maid, "Yue Niang, go brew a pot of spring tea for Lord Xi He."
"Yes."
Yue Niang retreated. Not long after, she came back with a tea tray filled with tea and snacks. She laid them out one by one and said with a smile, "Take your time, Lord Xihe. I will stand guard outside the door."
The maid's red skirt swayed lightly and retreated. The sandalwood door of the library was closed with a creak.
Mo Xi sat down at the judge's table and asked, "How is Jun Shang? Why did he suddenly fall ill? "
Meng Ze sighed, "He doesn't want to say, and he doesn't allow people from Shennongtai to say much. I only know that he has been sick in bed for the past few days … but it's nothing serious. I received permission to visit him this morning. The most dangerous time has passed, but he is still weak. I'm afraid he will need another three or four days to recover."
She paused and looked at Mo Xi with an inquiring expression, "Brother Mo, are you here to report the results of the appointment to Brother Wang?"
"Yes."
Meng Ze asked with concern, "Is everything going well?"
Mo Xi avoided the important and said, "Chenqing and the others were injured. They have already gone to Jiang Yaoshi for treatment. Other than that, there is nothing else."
"That's good." Meng Ze sighed, "But I'm afraid Brother Wang won't be able to see you these few days. Brother Mo, write a report when you go back. I will pass it to him on your behalf."
Mo Xi thanked her. Seeing that she was burdened with documents and looked tired, he wanted to help her with the documents. But then he realized that since Jun Shang didn't pass these reports to the assistant minister, and instead passed them all to Meng Ze to review, it must be some files that he didn't want an outsider to have a say in. So he said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first. You should rest early after you are done with these. "
Meng Ze's beautiful eyes rippled as she smiled, "Hmm? You're leaving so soon. You don't want to stay with me for a while? "
Mo Xi, "…"
"Alright, I was just teasing Brother Mo. Look at how travel-worn you are. How can I bear to let you sit idly with me?" Meng Ze said and lightly coughed a few times. She covered her mouth and said gently, "You should go back quickly."
Mo Xi got up and looked down at her, "It's late and the dew is heavy. Remember to ask Yue Niang to give you another set of clothes."
Meng Ze smiled, "Okay."
Mo Xi then left. As soon as he walked out of the library, Yue Niang entered. She had served Meng Ze for many years. In front of others, she acted like a servant. But in front of Meng Ze, she was easily talkative and couldn't keep her thoughts to herself.
She looked at the place where Mo Xi left and stomped her feet. She said to Meng Ze unwillingly, "Lord."
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you let Lord Xi He leave just like that? You've been back in the city for so long. He rarely had time alone with you today. Why didn't you ask him to stay for a while longer?" Yue Niang pouted and muttered softly, "In any case, you should have had a meal together or something."
Meng Ze dipped the brush in the ink slab to moisten it. He lifted the brush and wrote while saying, "Why should I ask him to stay? He's not willing."
"But his spiritual core was exchanged with your health. If you ask Lord Xi He to go west, he definitely won't go east. He owes you a big favor!"
Meng Ze smiled, "It's just a favor. I don't intend to ask him to return it."
"What are you talking about, Lord? Of course, you want him to return it!" Yue Niang was a little anxious when she saw that the Murong Meng Ze was so calm. "Lord Xi He is handsome, powerful, and has a good reputation. I heard that he has been stationed in the army for three years and hasn't had any contact with a woman. He's not like other young masters who have a line of concubines. It's not a loss to marry such a husband. If you don't want him, there will be a group of demons and ghosts fighting to be his wife or concubine … How can you let that happen? "
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became. In the end, she waved her hand and said unreasonably, "I don't care, I don't care. Anyway, he's not allowed to marry anyone except our princess. He's not allowed to mess with any girl!"
Meng Ze listened to the lass's unruly chatter and did not say anything. He only picked up his brush and wrote. After a while, he seemed to ask inadvertently, "Yue 'er also thinks that Lord Xihe is very handsome?"
"Of course, he's …" Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly felt that she had gone too far. She hurriedly said, "No, no, no. Lord Xi He is a god-like figure. It's not my place to talk nonsense."
Meng Ze smiled and stamped a silk memorial on behalf of her brother. He blew on the damp ink and said, "It's nothing. Even if you don't say it, I know that you girls like men like him. He's tall, upright, and reliable. He's all good. "
Yue Niang became more anxious, "Lord, even if you lend me a thousand guts, I wouldn't dare … I wouldn't dare …"
"What are you afraid of?" Meng Ze said gently, "I'm just casually telling you and giving examples of his good qualities. But Yue Niang, have you ever thought about why such an outstanding person like him is still unmarried at this age?"
Yue Niang muttered, "Isn't it because you're not feeling well?"
"How can you blame me?" Meng Ze said with a smile, "If he really wanted to marry you, he would have gone to the Emperor to ask for your hand in marriage." Her smile faded little by little, "He's the one who doesn't want to. That's why he keeps delaying it."
"… That's why I want my Lord to stay with Lord Xi He for a while longer! You see, the two of you don't spend more than a few times a year alone. A man needs to see the person in front of him. If you don't see each other for a month or a month, no matter how strong your feelings are, they will fade. " Yue Niang paused for a moment and bit her lower lip. She seemed to be going all out. "And Master, you don't know, but I heard from others that when you weren't around, that group of rich young ladies were squeezing their heads to curry favor with Lord Xi He. Even your sister, Princess Yanping, wanted to seduce … seduce …"
Yan Ping was a princess after all. No matter how familiar Yue Niang was with Meng Ze, she didn't dare to say the word 'seduce'. In the end, she vaguely said, "She wants that Lord Xi He. Look at her, she's already so proactive. Why are you still pushing Lord Xi He away, Lord? Why don't you think about it? It's all because of you that he's where he is today. I really feel bad for you! "
Meng Ze shook his head, "A forcibly picked melon won't be sweet. I won't force him."
"My Lord!" Yue Niang said aggrievedly, "Sigh, but you … you're also … like this now. If Lord Xi He doesn't propose marriage, how long does he want you to wait for him?"
"Yue Er, don't talk nonsense." Meng Ze held the pen and said seriously, "Lord Xi He and I have never been in an alliance. What's there to be burdensome about?"
"But …"
"Alright, don't say such things in the future."
Yue Niang bit her soft lips. In the end, she could only say dejectedly, "… Yes."
Meng Ze picked up the pen again and picked up a new report to read. There was silence in the library. Yue Niang suddenly muttered unwillingly, "What if … what if Lord Xi He is ungrateful and has another girl behind your back, my Lord, can you really let it go?"
Meng Ze's pen paused slightly.
She looked up, "What do you mean by this?"
Yue Niang seemed to be unable to bear it, but she also seemed to find it difficult to speak. Under Meng Ze's clear gaze, she finally couldn't help but say, "… Did you notice his headband tonight?"
"Hmm?"
Yue Niang took a deep breath, "It's not strange that my Lord didn't notice it. But I'm used to serving people since I was young. I've always paid attention to my Lord's clothes and accessories. Lord Xi He's headband today is plain and green, without any patterns. "
Seeing that Meng Ze didn't respond, Yue Niang finally exposed the window paper, "That's something that only a commoner would use!"
"…"
Since she had already said it, she couldn't stop talking. Yue Niang's eyes were red. She puffed her cheeks and said uncomfortably, "It's obvious that he's a poor little bitch! Princess, you don't know. The women on the street are the most scheming. They would do anything in order to climb up. There must be a particularly shameless one who showed off her coquettishness and provoked Lord Xi He. You're the only one who's magnanimous! She even put the headband on Lord Xi He's hair. How intimate is that? You can't even see it! I, I, I'm really going to die from anger because of him! When he was in danger, it was you who saved him! How could he let you down like this! "
Yue Niang complained so much in one breath. Meng Ze didn't say anything. However, the tip of the pen was dipped in too much ink. Suddenly, a drop of black stain fell on the silk, dyeing it into a large blob of ink.
After a while, she lowered her beautiful face and picked up the Lake Pen again. She whispered, "… That's just a silk headband. Maybe he wanted to change it for something new. Don't think too much about it."
Yue Niang said anxiously, "Can you stop lying to yourself? You know how obedient he is. He's not that kind of person! "
Meng Ze suddenly interrupted her, "Enough."
"…"
"Don't talk about this anymore. I don't want to hear it."
Seeing her tough attitude, Yue Niang couldn't persuade her. In the end, she could only keep quiet with her eyes red. Meng Ze didn't say anything anymore. She didn't continue reading the book. She turned her head and looked at the swaying pine and bamboo outside the window. In the dim candlelight, her eyes dimmed little by little …
Yue Niang: Princess! I'm so angry! There's something wrong with Lord Xi He's hair headband! It must be that little b * tch's!
Gu Mang: Achoo!
Yue Niang: That little b * tch must be very shameless! She's flirting and seducing men!
Gu Mang: Achoo! Achoo!
Yue Niang: I'll go and catch that little b * tch for you! Drown her in a pig cage!
Gu Mang: Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!
Mo Xi: … What's wrong?
Gu Mang: I don't know. QAQ Someone seems to be scolding me???
