It was already afternoon when Xu Qingmo came back from the palace.
As soon as Xu Qingmo returned to her yard, Maidong came to invite her, saying that He Wenlin and the others were drinking here and asked her to play together.
Xu Qingmo originally refused, but Ophiopogon japonicus said casually: "The prince went to Dongshi today to buy lotus cakes!"
You know, Xu Qingmo’s favorite lotus cake is made by Mrs. Li from Dongshi.
Therefore, under the temptation of Lotus Crispy, Xu Qingmo went to Xu Yanquan's yard obediently.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard, the first thing Xu Qingmo saw was Meng Hetong who was having sex. She looked at the three of them and couldn't help but said, "When did the three of you have such a good relationship?"
"We have always had a good relationship!" Meng Hetong put his arms around Xu Yanquan's shoulders and said with a smile, "It's just that you don't know!"
Xu Yanquan rarely denied it. He called to Xu Qingmo: "Come on, this lotus cake has just come out of the oven and it is still hot!"
Xu Qingmo originally came here for this lotus cake, and now he naturally focused his attention directly on the plate of lotus cake in front of Meng Hetong.
Meng Hetong noticed Xu Qingmo's gaze and naturally pushed the plate in front of her: "I heard that you met the prince and Yale Gesheng in the palace?"
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong and was not surprised at all that they knew about this: "Yeah, what? You want to know, how did I scold them?"
"I'm quite curious!" Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows, "It is said that you scolded both of them and ran away?"
Xu Qingmo broke off a piece of lotus cake, took a bite, and then said: "It's not like I ran away because I scolded you, I just told the truth!"
"Yale Gesheng wanted to compete with you in riding and archery, but you refused?" Xu Yanquan looked at Xu Qingmo, "Originally I was worried that you would agree. After all, your riding and archery skills are still very good!"
"We are human beings, not animals, and we are constantly competing on things like kung fu. What is the difference between us and tigers and lions?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows with disdain in his eyes, "We are competing on brains and kung fu on hands and feet. No matter how powerful you are, you can only fight alone!"
Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Yanquan, and then said: "Your sister is really calm and has no thoughts of comparison and fighting. If it had been anyone else, she would have fallen into the trap of Yale Gesheng!"
"You said it, my sister!" Xu Yanquan laughed.
He Wenlin looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time and suddenly asked: "What about His Royal Highness?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Yanquan and Meng Hetong, who were joking, fell silent.
"It's time to break up!" Xu Qingmo didn't even raise his eyes, "If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. There is no good in getting involved with him!"
"Mo Mo!" Xu Yanquan was shocked, "How dare you say this!"
"This is a fact!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yanquan, "Is this not what you are talking about when you always gather together?"
The three people looked at each other, and finally said nothing.
Xu Qingmo ate the lotus cake in his hand bit by bit: "When my eldest brother got engaged to Princess Zhengyang, he had already angered the prince. He is narrow-minded and has no real talent and learning. If he is honest, he can still enjoy it by relying on his ministers. The world, but he is not a peaceful person, the Xu family has been sentenced to death in his heart!"
"So, what are your plans?" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo and said word by word.
"What about you? What are your plans?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyes, stared into Meng Hetong's eyes, and said word by word.
Meng Hetong felt terrified when Xu Qingmo looked at her, as if she knew all their thoughts and plans: "We don't have any plans. Who will sit in that position in the future may not be determined in the end. After all, the only one who can decide this matter is today." His Majesty!"
"It is a fact that the prince is unworthy of his responsibilities, but it is also a fact that His Majesty prefers the prince!" He Wenlin lowered his eyes and said softly, "We are not alone. What we bear is the life and death of an entire family. This kind of thing is a big gamble. , we can’t afford the gamble!”
Xu Qingmo looked at He Wenlin. He was kind-hearted and cautious. Now that he said such words in front of Xu Qingmo, he obviously really trusted Xu Qingmo.
"Choice is not an easy thing. Just like what Brother He said, we are carrying a century-old family, and every move affects the whole body!" Xu Qingmo said softly, "Since you can't bet, Get up, then let this choice become the only one, then it is no longer an alternative, but the only one!"
Before Xu Yanquan and He Wenlin could react, Meng Hetong's pupils shrank sharply: "Xu Qingmo, how dare you!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong coldly: "I just thought about things you don't dare to think about! You are careful not to hurt others, but others have already laid endless traps waiting to kill you! Being indecisive will only kill yourself. , and will harm all people in the world!"
Xu Yanquan and He Wenlin also realized what Xu Qingmo meant. Their expressions suddenly changed, but in the end, they didn't say anything else.
Xu Qingmo was unwilling to continue arguing with them on this matter. After all, none of them had ever seen Xie Suxian's vicious true face.
After finishing the lotus cake in front of him, Xu Qingmo stood up and left. There was no trace of the determination in his eyes, and he even looked a bit innocent: "I'm full, I'm going back!"
"Yeah!" Xu Yanquan responded without saying anything else.
Meng Hetong stood up: "I'll take you out!"
It was better to say that he was sending her out than that he had something to say to Xu Qingmo alone, so as soon as he walked into the courtyard, Meng Hetong said, "Your Majesty has many sons. If not the prince, who else could he be?"
"I don't care who is there at the end. For me, as long as the person standing there at the end is not the prince, it's fine!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at the sky not far away, his eyes as cold as the cold wind in winter. Biting to the bone.
"Do you have a grudge against the prince?" Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Qingmo turned back to look at Meng Hetong: "Enmity? That's right, the kind that won't stop until death!"
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, always feeling that she was not like a simple boudoir woman. When she was alone, her eyes were always as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any fluctuation. He had seen that look when he was in Luoyang. Pass.
That was an old woman. All her relatives were gone. She cried so hard that her eyes were broken. When the weather got darker, she couldn't see anymore. Her heart was filled with despair. That's how she looked!
