After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Princess Changle's Mansion.

In the Moon-Watching Pavilion, Xiao Yunxi sat in front of the piano table with an elegant posture, gently stroking the strings of the piano. The sound of the piano was sometimes gentle and melodious, and sometimes clear and ethereal, which made people intoxicated.

After the song was over, Xia He stepped forward to pour tea for Xiao Yunxi, "Princess, your piano skills are getting better and better, and are simply impeccable."

“This piano is good.”

Xiao Yunxi wiped the strings lovingly, "The Nanjiang Guqin is well-deserved of its reputation."

"I heard that Prince Dingyuan put a lot of effort and spent a lot of money on this guqin."

Chun Xiao blinked, "My princess hasn't been out for a long time. Do you want to go to Fu Man Lou tomorrow? There are new dishes."

Xia He rolled her eyes, "Are you the maid of the princess or the maid of Prince Dingyuan?"

"How can you talk like that? Of course I am the princess's maid!"

"Then why do you keep mentioning Prince Dingyuan every day? Is he your father or your enemy?"

"I wish he was my dad!" Chun Xiao stamped her feet in anger, "No, what are you doing!"

"What for?" Xia He snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that you'll be tricked by the guards with a few candied haws, and I'm also going to drag the princess into the fire pit!"

"You're going too far. How can you say you're jumping into a fire pit?"

"All crows are black. How do you know that Prince Dingyuan's mansion is not a hellhole? Prince Dingyuan is not the next Lu Jingting?"

Chun Xiao paused, "But the Dingyuan Palace has no principal wife or concubine, not even a maid..."

"That's even more suspicious. A 30-year-old prince hasn't married or taken a concubine yet. Either he has a lover in his heart, or he's in poor health... and can't do that!"

Xiao Yunxi twitched her lips...

Why did she think Xia He was right?

Chun Xiao also hesitated, "No... No way..."

"Humph, unfaithful men are always considerate and caring at first. Take Lu Jingting for example. He did all kinds of bad things for Lin Wan'er in the past. What about him now?"

Chunxiao shut up.

I should not have agreed to Yingyi's help. King Dingyuan is much more difficult to deal with than Lu Jingting.

"Princess, the new dishes at Fu Man Lou are not tasty, so we should not go."

Xia He shook her head. How stupid! She acted so obviously. Was she a fool to be a princess?

Xiao Yunxi stroked the zither, "Why not go?"

Xia He: .....

The next day, Xiao Yunxi brought two maids to the private room of Fumanlou and met the person she expected.

"My uncle, as the God of War in the Great Calendar, is he so free?"

Mo Ruochen put down the teacup with a smile, "It's rare to have half a day of leisure."

Xiao Yunxi bowed lightly and sat opposite him. "Oh? That's perfect. Today, Yunxi invites my uncle to try the new dishes of Fu Man Lou. Thank you for the Nanjiang Guqin."

"It's just a little effort, nothing worth mentioning."

The waiter brought the dishes up one after another, "My two distinguished guests, these steamed goose feet, spicy duck necks, and salt and pepper pig ears are all new side dishes from our restaurant. Paired with this pot of ten-year-old daughter's red wine, the taste is even better. Please enjoy them slowly."

Mo Ruochen chuckled, "Appetizers, have I become a drinking buddy with Changle?"

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows. At first glance, the pile of portraits of male concubines that Sister Mu had brought over had different styles and were very attractive, but none of them could compare to Mo Ruochen's.

This man is truly a monster, why does he have to be so handsome?

She coughed lightly and calmed herself down. "Xiao Yunxi, you should be more capable. Compared with a monster and a group of handsome men, the latter is more cost-effective."

After all, if you eat braised pork every day, you will get tired of it.

Mo Ruochen had just picked up a piece of goose paw when he heard Xiao Yunxi ask, "Uncle, do you think goose...will have athlete's foot?"

"Plop!" The goose paw fell into the bowl...

He glanced at Xiao Yunxi without saying anything, then picked up a piece of pig's ear.

"Uncle, do you think that a pig will pick its ears in its lifetime?"

"Plop!" The pig's ears also fell into the bowl...

Mo Ruochen picked up another piece of duck neck, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yunxi. What else could he say?

Xiao Yunxi paused, "Uncle... if a duck catches a cold, do you think it will cough up phlegm?"

"Bah!"

At this moment, Mo Ruochen put down his chopsticks completely and took a deep breath, "Today I am a vegetarian!"

Xiao Yunxi suppressed her smile and said, "What a coincidence, Changle is also a vegetarian."

Xia He and Chun Xiao's lips twitched as they listened, and they hurried forward to take away the three dishes. Their master cared, but they didn't, and soon told the waiter to pack them up and have an extra meal for dinner.

"Changle, do you know the purpose of the third prince Chi Na from the Great Desert to come to the capital this time?"

"I know. Leave one princess behind and take another away. Exchange princesses and form an alliance."

"Then you know that His Majesty's first choice is you."

Xiao Yunxi put down the wine glass and said, "I know."

Mo Ruochen looked at her steadily, "Are you willing?"

"What if she is willing? What if she is not willing? Chi Na has already entered the capital. In three days' time, the palace banquet will be held and the princess of the desert will be granted a marriage. I guess I can't escape it."

Mo Ruochen clenched his glass tightly, "Everything depends on human effort. If you don't want it to happen, it won't happen. I... will help you."

"How are you going to help me, little uncle?" Xiao Yunxi laughed tenderly, "Disfigure me, kill Chi Na, or find me a live-in princess within three days?"

She picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"I will marry you as Princess Dingyuan."

"puff!"

Xiao Yunxi spit out a mouthful of wine. Is the old man so direct? !

How to respond to this?!

Xia He and Chun Xiao were also dumbfounded. Is King Dingyuan crazy?

Only Ying Yi stood aside calmly. His prince was so extraordinary.

"My little uncle, you are joking. You are the prince and I am the princess. It is not possible for anyone to marry me. The emperor uncle will not agree."

Xiao Yunxi awkwardly picked up the handkerchief to wipe her mouth, lowered her eyes to look at the table, not daring to raise her head.

"Seven years ago, I used my military merits to ask His Majesty for an imperial decree. It was a blank imperial decree granting marriage. All I had to do was add your name to it."

Mo Ruochen said it easily, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were covered in sweat and the tips of his ears were red.

This is much more difficult than fighting a war and killing the enemy.

Xiao Yunxi blinked her eyes, "Uncle, I've been married..."

"Yeah, I know, she's a bitch."

"Uncle, I have a bad temper and I like to whip people."

"Well, I have a good temper. I will help you with the whip."

"I like to keep male lovers and watch them sing and perform acrobatics for me."

"Well, I'll pay for you."

"I like... No, what do you like about me?"

"Well, I like you alive."

“…”

Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath, "Mo Ruochen!"

"Changle, my parents died early, I have no parents, I have never taken a wife or concubine, I have no children, and I have no mistresses, I keep myself clean."

It sounds like having status, money, no mother-in-law, no concubines... seems like it's really good.

"I know you have no feelings for me yet, but love grows over time, and marriage comes before love is a thing of the past."

Xiao Yunxi waved her hand, "What if we get tired of each other and can't live together anymore?"
