The father and son finished their meal and waited for the maid to remove everything on the table before they started talking again.

"When will the delegation enter the palace?" Mo Chengning asked.

Mo Xiao raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Qionghua Tower has prepared lunch."

Mo Chengning understood that those people would enter the palace before lunch.

Mo Xiao turned his head and glanced at Mo Chengning: "What, are you scared?"

Mo Chengning looked at Mo Xiao as if he was crazy: "What am I afraid of?"

Mo Xiao smiled: "As long as you are not afraid, my son, there is no need to be afraid of anything. If you can't even handle this small scene, then you are not worthy of being my son."

Mo Chengning gave him a cold look, stood up, walked over and sat down at his small table, and said coldly: "Being your son is not something I can choose. If I could choose, I just want to be your mother." My son. My mother is gentle and loves me, and she has money.”

Mo Xiao: "..."

I really can’t have this son.

Mo Xiao rubbed his chin and thought, when Qingqing enters the palace after the draft, will they be able to have another child? But when he thought of Lin Jiuqing's body, Mo Xiao gave up the idea.

Forget it, Mo Chengning's brain is barely useful, so just keep it.

The father and son lowered their heads to deal with the accumulated things, and time passed quickly. An hour before lunch, the eunuch hurriedly came to report that the envoy had entered the city.

Mo Xiao hummed and said nothing.

But the eunuch was still standing, with a troubled look on his face.

Mo Xiao glanced at him and asked calmly: "Is there anything else?"

The eunuch had an unpleasant look on his face. He lowered his head and said softly: "They have arrived at the city gate, but they have camped on the spot and will not enter the city again."

Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes: "Huh?"

The eunuch shivered and knelt down with a plop: "They, they said, we don't understand etiquette so much that we didn't even arrange for anyone to go to the city gate to greet us."

In fact, those people's words were even more unpleasant. The eunuch didn't dare to say them, so he could only embellish them a little.

However, it doesn't matter whether it's beautified or not, that's what it means here.

Mo Xiao didn't speak for a while.

For hundreds of years, whenever their envoys came to Beijing, the imperial court would receive them with the highest standards. During the previous dynasty, they were not just greeted at the city gate, but were welcomed two hundred miles outside the city. The prince led hundreds of officials to personally greet him. The formation was not as large as usual.

But this year, the mission had already reached the city gate, but no one was there to greet them. No wonder they felt a sense of disparity.

Mo Xiao turned his head and looked at Mo Chengning, half-smiling but not smiling: "Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

Mo Chengning's face was expressionless: "They like to camp outside the city, so let them camp. By the way, it's not very safe outside the city after all. Don't forget to mobilize three thousand imperial guards to protect them."

They were already about to die and they were still showing off. Will Mo Chengning pamper them?

There was a smile in Mo Xiao's eyes, and he looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground: "Did you hear that?"

The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head and said softly: "Listen, I heard it."

Mo Xiao hummed: "Since you heard it, just do what His Highness said."

The eunuch responded, stood up and ran out.

He could feel that something was going to change. This was a big deal. If there was any negligence, it would be easy to lose his head.

After the people left, Mo Xiao looked at Mo Chengning and snorted: "The visitor is a guest. It's not polite for you to treat others like this."
