Chapter 16 (1/2)
”Mubai, did the little Marquis really lose his face in front of the people when he gave his Highness the fourth at the family banquet?”
In King Mo's mansion, Xu Wenlan ran over and asked Xiao mubai excitedly.
”Your news is very fast.”
Xiao mubai glanced at him.
”Oh, it's not fast. Early in the morning, it's estimated that all civil and military officials have to know about the hot face and cold ass of your fourth highness.”
Xu Wenlan pressed the book in Xiao mubai's hand and put on a posture that you don't want to read unless you tell me.
”Don't you know very well?”
Xu Wenlan looked solemn.
”Your Highness the ink king!”
Xiao mubai put down his book and looked up at him.
”Tut Tut, such a wonderful play, you have to tell me the details.”
Xu Wenlan's sullen face could not stretch in less than three seconds.
Xiao mubai was afraid of his entanglement and gave a brief outline. Xu Wenlan listened with interest and tirelessly.
After a long aftertaste, Xu Wenlan suddenly patted the table and shouted, ”No.”
Xiao mubai frowned.
”Do you remember that night when you asked me who was the childe's family?” Xu Wenlan asked again without waiting for Xiao mubai to speak.
”The legitimate son of Xia Hou's house in early summer.”
Xiao mubai had an expression he had known for a long time.
”Yes, after you asked me that night, I had nothing to do the next day. There's another thing you don't know.”
Xu Wenlan was waiting for Xiao mubai to ask, but he ignored him. He was so anxious that he couldn't help saying it.
”Your Highness four met your highness before the beginning of summer. On the birthday of the Duke of summer last month, your highness four met him on behalf of the emperor. It is said that the little Duke had just returned to the house that day, and they happened to bump into each other. What did the little Duke show that he liked his highness four? Why did the little Duke turn his face after only a month? Didn't they meet each other for the first time?”
Xiao mubai sneered.
”How do you like your highness four? That's really tight.”
”Well, don't believe it. It's true, my father told me himself. My father also went to the birthday party that day.” Xu Wenlan hurried.
”I'm sure he doesn't like Xiao Yanjun. And he hates it very much.”
It's really strange. Xu Wenlan muttered to himself. Suddenly, he patted the table again and shouted, ”that's right!”
Xiao mubai looked at Xu Wenlan with a sharp light.
”If you do this again, the king will throw you out.”
Xu Wenlan smiled bitterly and asked softly, ”I heard that the ninth princess has a crush on the little Marquis?”
Xiao mubai nodded.
”Mu Hong likes him very much.”
