His Majesty was overjoyed when he ordered a marriage that was destined by heaven. He bestowed the imperial wine to everyone to taste. After the Eldest Princess accompanied His Majesty and drank three cups of wine, she excused herself and went out to sober up. Not long after, Xiao Minglan stood up lazily and said, "Tsk, the songs and dances in the palace only have these few tricks. Compared to those outside the palace, it is very boring, very boring. This Prince has no interest in watching. I'm leaving. "After saying that, he also staggered out.
Hui Mo's eyes turned and he was curious. He bent down and said, "Your Highness, it's interesting here. Shall we follow them and take a look?"
Xiahou Qing knocked his head with the jade chopsticks and sneered, "When did you learn the habit of gossiping from Tianwen? Childish."
Hui Mo groaned and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why do you have to hit me? Your Highness, you hit me too hard." Before Lady Ning was born, His Highness treated him so well. Since he had Lady Ning, his treatment had plummeted. He was no longer the little jacket in His Highness's heart. Sigh.
Xiahou Qing put down the jade chopsticks and rubbed his knuckles, "We'll go. Who said we won't go? But we just happened to go out to sober up. Let's go. Be careful not to be noticed."
"…" Hui Mo watched his Shizi get up and straighten his dark robe. He reached out his hand to Jiusi and leisurely walked out of the palace. Hui Mo rubbed his aching head, cursed in his heart, and followed him silently.
They were not far from the imperial garden and they all had internal energy. Soon, they found a rockery in the corner of the imperial garden and began to "enjoy the beautiful scenery". Looking at Xiahou Qing's serious expression, Hui Mo thought, "Your Highness, you're not gossipy. You're not gossipy at all."
Xiahou Qing seemed to have a pair of ears in his heart. He bent his knuckles and knocked on Hui Mo's forehead again.
On the other side of the rockery.
Xiao Minglan's lazy and smiley face had a coldness that had never been seen before. Even the mole under her eye was like the tip of a needle or the stinger of a poisonous bee. It was extremely sharp. "How could you agree to this marriage!"
He scolded mercilessly.
"You know very well that Herui can never marry into the royal family again. You know very well that no one can bear the consequences. You know very well that if that secret —" Xiao Minglan was halfway through her sentence when she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Every word she said was like a stone being thrown at her. "She is your daughter. As her mother, you shouldn't watch her die."
There were no ugly people in the Xiao family, and this was especially evident on this pair of siblings. Xiao Mingxue, who was standing in front of him, looked somewhat similar to Xiao Minglan. It was just that there was a hint of gentleness between her brows. She was also slightly older than him. Two graceful, shallow wrinkles appeared at the corners of her exquisitely drawn eyes. However, it could still be seen that she was once a peerless beauty.
This beauty who was once a peerless beauty was now a little worried. Her brows were tightly knitted as she refuted, "You're right. I am Herui's mother. How could I harm her! You were there at the scene and saw it with your own eyes. My royal brother insisted on it. I repeatedly refused but it ended in failure. Under such circumstances, if you were me, what would you do? Defy the imperial edict?! "
Xiao Minglan sneered and mocked, "So what if I defy the imperial edict?! What does it have to do with me whether my royal brother is angry or not?! Could it take my life because of this?! You didn't refuse because you were intoxicated with power and couldn't extricate yourself! However, have you ever thought that if you can't protect the most important person, what's the use of all the wealth and glory?! "
