"Okay, princess, stop crying. If you cry again and your makeup is stained with tears, you won't be beautiful?"
Shui Yunxi patiently coaxed Mo Xinyuan and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, being extremely gentle.
Mo Xinyuan sniffed and looked aggrieved, "Since you like me, why do you want to get entangled with Mo Xinyu? Are you trying to trick me?"
"How could it be? It's just that you also know that my father's regent is really a coward." Shui Yunxi sighed, "He has always been a good person who doesn't take sides, and the people in the court are even less so. Dare to offend. King Xu is His Majesty's biological brother, and my father is respectful to me. How can I dare to offend? Besides, it is Mo Xinyu who pesters me, not me who pesters her. What you say is really unfair to me. "
Hearing what Shui Yunxi said, Mo Xinyuan immediately felt that her words were a bit excessive. How could she doubt Shui Yunxi.
But since Shui Yunxi was so sincere to her, why didn't he mention marriage to give himself some reassurance.
So, Mo Xinyuan asked, "Then have you mentioned our matter to your parents? I am a princess, I can't follow you like this without any name, right?"
"It's not that I didn't mention it. It's just that my parents have been busy recently and they don't even eat together. I have no chance to mention it." Shui Yunxi said with a sincere face, "The status of a princess is precious, so naturally you have to choose a suitable one. If you have the opportunity to speak out, it should be more grand."
The words were so perfunctory that Mo Xinyuan couldn't sit still.
She yelled at Shui Yun with an aggrieved look on her face, "What do you mean, you didn't say it until you had the chance? Could it be that you weren't sincere from the beginning and were you lying to me?"
She is scared now.
Afraid that Shui Yunxi would care about the fact that he had been played by Dong Chengbin.
After all, no man likes to be a cuckold and have his whole body exposed in front of him.
"Princess, you are overthinking it. You also know that my father's leg disease has not healed yet. It will attack every cloudy day. When the attack occurs, he will tremble with pain. No matter how bad a son I am, I can't let him worry at this time, right?" Shui Yun Xi was still patient, "Princess, my feelings for you can be learned from time to time. You must also be considerate of me."
Now I can only use the Prince Regent's legs as a shield.
Although he no longer has pain or itchiness, outsiders don't know.
After hearing this, Mo Xinyuan was still beating her heart, "But you...will you really tell your parents? I don't want to be so unclear. This is always right, right?"
"You're right, I was wrong, okay." Shui Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's all calm down, that's it."
After saying that, Shui Yunxi quickly walked out of the private room, went down the stairs as quickly as possible, left the tea house, and then jumped onto the carriage on the roadside.
On the carriage, Shui Lingxun and Mo Xinyu were turning over the flower rope, and they immediately laughed out loud when they saw him like this.
"Brother, are you being eaten? You can run faster than a rabbit!" Shui Lingxun covered his mouth and snickered.
Mo Xinyu on the side couldn't help but pursed his lips, "Your eldest brother sacrificed himself for the plan, and you are still laughing at him."
"You're the only one who didn't laugh? You laughed louder than anyone else!" Shui Lingxun looked disdainful.
"Go to Prince Xu's Mansion first." Shui Yunxi said to the driver outside, then rolled his eyes at them.
Mo Xinyu coughed twice and became serious, "Let's get down to business, how is Mo Xinyuan doing now?"
"It's almost certain. I'll come out to see her for the last time tomorrow and it will be settled." Shui Yunxi looked confident.
Shui Lingxun nodded, "Then it depends on Dong Chengbin!"
…
On the third day, it was still in front of the teahouse, but today it was Mo Xinyuan waiting for Shui Yunxi.
Just when Mo Xinyuan was about to leave, Shui Yunxi secretly stepped out of the carriage not far away.
After a day and night of reflection, Mo Xinyuan regretted that she had pushed him so hard, thinking that she had gone too far.
They went upstairs, and as soon as they entered the private room, she hugged Shui Yunxi tightly, lay in his arms and cried.
Shui Yunxi hugged her, his expression dull, and he had long lost the affection he had before.
"Brother Yunxi, what happened yesterday was my fault. It was my fault. I knew your father was in poor health and still forced you like this. I was too willful. I will never do this again." Mo Xinyuan cried. He was out of breath and looked really frightened.
Shui Yunxi took out the handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped her tears, and said softly: "It's okay, but I can't do this again. It's because I like you that I allow you to do whatever you want, but there won't be a next time. "
"I know Brother Yunxi, but I really want to marry you, I want to be your woman..." Mo Xinyuan said, lowering her head shyly.
Shui Yunxi's eyes darkened, and then he smiled at her, "Okay, I also like the princess, and the princess can only be mine in this life, and no one else can touch her."
His words immediately reminded Mo Xinyuan of being scorned by Dong Chengbin.
That incident became a shadow for her. Even when she secretly looked at the fire avoidance map, her mind was filled with Dong Chengbin's fat face.
"As for what happened last time, will you dislike me? I...I'm not clean anymore..." Mo Xinyuan became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and couldn't help but shed tears again.
The corners of Shui Yunxi's lips raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, "How could it be possible? Princess, you are the most holy in my heart. Don't let Dong Chengbin succeed, even if he takes you, I will I won’t care. As long as the princess’s heart is with me, I will be satisfied.”
Shui Yunxi's words were very helpful to Mo Xinyuan and made her happy immediately.
After walking out of the teahouse hand in hand, Mo Xinyuan reluctantly said goodbye to Shui Yunxi. She got on the carriage, full of joy, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.
But he saw Shui Yunxi talking to Mo Xinyu in front of the teahouse.
Although they had no intimate movements, it was enough to make Mo Xinyuan feel uneasy.
If she were a man, she would definitely choose her without knowing it.
The princess has a distinguished status, and she considers herself beautiful. What man would not be tempted by her.
But now, she almost fell for Dong Chengbin and was seen by Shui Yunxi, so she naturally became his handle.
If he were normal, he would definitely choose the clean Mo Xinyu over her.
With this uneasiness, on the fourth day, Mo Xinyuan went out of the palace again to find Shui Yunxi, but after waiting for several hours, she still didn't see Shui Yunxi's face, so she had to return to the palace dejectedly.
In three days, she will have her birthday, and she doesn't know if Shui Yunxi will come to her birthday party.
This banquet was hosted by Concubine Ning's mother-in-law, Chong Xinbo, and the banquet was held at Wenxi Tower. In order to let the princes and ministers have a good time and not be too formal, they claimed that it was their niece's birthday.
Chong Xinbo had a wide network of contacts and had close contacts with the Dong family. Dong Chengbin would naturally appear at the banquet that day.
