Chapter 142 I Don’t Like You
The Queen held a birthday banquet and invited all civil and military officials to celebrate.
The banquet was quite grand, with ministers from the court, governors from various places, and even generals stationed in far-flung border areas rushing back.
Except for the envoys from the Moon Kingdom who did not come to celebrate, everyone who was supposed to come came.
The Shang State was a big country with a huge palace, so this birthday banquet was held in the main hall.
Feng Zhaoyun hadn't slept all night and stayed awake until dawn. Jiuyi knocked on the door and came in carrying toiletries.
Feng Zhaoyun was washing up, but A Zi had already finished and walked into the house.
Except for A Zi, the others still had no real appearance and looked like the maids who had served Bai Mohan before.
After Feng Zhaoyun put on his clothes, he sat down and asked, "How is Xiao Siying doing?"
Jiuyi said, "We met up with the Xiao family army last night. The secret guards reported that they had successfully sneaked into the palace through the secret passage."
Feng Zhaoyun looked at Ah Zi calmly, "Ah Zi, you don't have to go with us today. Stay in the mansion. If anything happens, just go back to the valley."
A Zi was originally very excited in the morning. When she thought about the big battle that was going to happen today, she was so excited that she almost fell asleep last night. Now, when she heard that Sister A Yun didn't want her, she felt a little angry.
Ah Zi pouted and said, "Sister Ah Yun, do you think I'm clumsy?"
Feng Zhaoyun smiled faintly after hearing this, "Azi, this journey is dangerous, you must listen to your sister and stay here."
Ah Zi was anxious. She stepped forward, grabbed Feng Zhaoyun's hand, and squatted down. "Sister Ah Yun, take me with you. I won't cause any trouble. I can protect you!"
Feng Zhaoyun said nothing, just looked at her.
Jiuyi sighed and said, "Master, there are originally four maids around Prince Mo. If the number is suddenly reduced, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."
Feng Zhaoyun shook his head helplessly, "Get up, if anything unexpected happens, just leave the palace."
Ah Zi's face lit up with joy when she heard this, and she stood up. "Yes! Ah Zi got it!"
She wouldn't leave. She had prepared a bunch of poisons yesterday just for today, and was waiting to try them out today.
Feng Zhaoyun looked at Jiuyi and said, "Once you enter the palace, you will take people to find His Majesty and ensure His Majesty's safety."
Although Jiuyi was reluctant and wanted to stay to protect his master, he could not disobey his master's orders. Thinking that there was a master like King Mo, he thought that nothing should happen, so he could only agree, "Yes, I will live up to your expectations!"
Feng Zhaoyun stood up and the three of them walked towards the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Bai Mohan had finished washing and dressing, and the maid was helping him tie his hair.
Feng Zhaoyun asked Jiuyi and A Zi to wait at the door. She walked in like a maid and saluted Bai Mohan, "Your Highness."
Bai Mohan looked at her, curling his lips, "You maid, you are so lazy that you get up later than the master."
Bai Mohan waved his hand after he finished speaking, signaling the others to leave. He then looked at Feng Zhaoyun and said, "Comb my hair for me."
After the maids left, Feng Zhaoyun stopped pretending. She raised her head and looked at the comb that Bai Mohan handed to her, but she did not take it.
Bai Mohan raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, "Your Highness?"
Feng Zhaoyun took the comb helplessly, walked behind him and helped him comb his hair.
Bai Mohan looked at the person in the mirror. The two seemed like a couple. The wife was combing her husband's hair, and a smile from the heart appeared on Bai Mohan's face.
Suddenly, Bai Mohan turned around, held Feng Zhaoyun's hand, and looked at her with burning eyes, "Your Highness, if I help you succeed today, will you welcome me into your house?"
Early in the morning, Feng Zhaoyun was stunned by his sudden action, but then his expression returned to normal. "Your Highness Prince Mo, you and I are not suitable. I said yesterday that since you helped me this time, I will definitely help you if you need me in the future."
Bai Mohan's eyes were slightly disappointed, but he returned to normal in an instant, "Is it because of my royal brother? I... don't mind."
Feng Zhaoyun took advantage of his distraction, pulled back her hand, and placed the comb in his hand, "I don't like you, but you are a prince, of noble status, you can marry into the family, there is no need to enter the palace and serve the emperor."
Bai Mohan looked at the comb in his hand, then clenched his fingers and smiled faintly, "Your Highness is so ruthless..."
At this moment, Jiuyi urged at the door, "Your Highness Prince Mo, Prime Minister Jiang is waiting in the main hall to take Your Highness into the palace for the banquet."
Bai Mohan stood up after hearing this. Today he was wearing a dark outer robe with a crane pattern embroidered in silver thread. He seemed to like cranes very much, and almost every piece of clothing had them on it. Inside was a white inner robe with auspicious clouds. This outfit was very noble.
Bai Mohan walked straight out of the main courtyard, and Feng Zhaoyun and others hurriedly lowered their heads and followed behind him.
Arriving at the main hall, Prime Minister Jiang hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Your Highness Prince Mo, I have been ordered to take you into the palace."
Bai Mohan smiled faintly, "Thank you."
Then they left the house and got on the carriage.
Feng Zhaoyun and Bai Mohan sat in the same carriage. There was incense burning and tea was prepared in the carriage. It was quite comfortable.
Bai Mohan sat in front of the small coffee table, holding a cup of fragrant tea with his pale fingers, looking out the window, and did not speak to Feng Zhaoyun.
Feng Zhaoyun saw that he ignored her and stared out the window in a daze, so she also boldly looked at his profile.
Bai Mohan really looks like Feng Yunjin. Except for their eyes, they are very similar.
If you look at this face alone, it is very handsome, and I am afraid no one can resist such a face. But Bai Mohan is cruel, ruthless and violent by nature, and is not a good match.
At this moment, Bai Mohan's eyes suddenly turned and looked at Feng Zhaoyun.
Feng Zhaoyun suddenly withdrew his gaze awkwardly, coughed lightly, and looked away.
Bai Mohan smiled, closed the carriage curtain, and then said, "Your Highness, have some tea. I know you like this tea, so I made a special trip to Yan State to ask my mother for the last can."
Feng Zhaoyun sat far away, watching Bai Mohan push a cup towards her. Looking at the steaming tea, she looked up at Bai Mohan again. Bai Mohan was looking at her with gentle eyes at this time.
Feng Zhaoyun took the cup and took a sip.
Watching Feng Zhaoyun drink the tea, Bai Mohan smiled.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of the palace...
