As the hot air rose up, the medicinal ingredients within the Spirit Calming Tea continued to boil within the pot.
The flame licked the bottom of the pot and swayed gently. The flame reflected on Yi Xiaoqiao's face, flickering from time to time. It looked like a painting that was bright and dim.
"When did you arrive?" Yi Xiaoqiao stirred his Spirit Calming Tea and asked nonchalantly, "Aren't we having a discussion?"
"I'll be there as soon as the meeting is over." Mu Yi An looked at that pink handkerchief, as if he wanted to seek justice for someone else, and teased, "You made me quite angry."
"What is it? Does it hurt to look at it? " Yi Xiaoqiao let go of the spoon, smiling as she bumped into him with her shoulder. "If you want to take pity on me, I'll take it as well. I can just let her help your Mu family split leaves and complete the old mistress' grandson dream."
After all, he had written it in the book before. He had the intention of accepting spring. However, because of Yun Jiao, he did not accept her. If he was willing, Yi Xiaoqiao would not mind.
Besides, although Chun Yi wasn't good for Yi Xiaoqiao, it was also because of jealousy, which was why he was jealous. Although Chun Yi wasn't good for Yi Xiaoqiao, it was also because of jealousy, which was why he was jealous.
Mu Yi'an smiled, regretting what he had just said. He had originally wanted to make her feel guilty, but who knew that she would actually try to connect the two of them?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How can I be nonsense? We agreed on that. I won't be a real husband and wife. What about you …" "If you really want a child, why don't you let them give birth to your concubines instead?" She also likes you and takes care of people. The key is that she is very popular with the madame. You can marry her, give birth to your child, take care of you, and you can even divert the madame's attention. "
Mu Yi'an felt that she was a little funny and pinched her little face: "As a wife, you're quite generous. You're already thinking of finding me a concubine before even entering the door."
"What can I do? Who asked me to not satisfy the madame's expectations? It would be too disappointing for her. I think it's better if I find someone who can replace me …"
At this point, Yi Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment. Her eyes gradually lit up. "That's right. Do you have any other people you like?"
Mu Yi An was a little startled, but he still didn't understand: "What?"
"For example, a courtesan in a brothel, a playwright in a pear garden, or a woman who was close to you in the past. You like women more, do you?"
Mu Yi An's face darkened, "What do you take me to be? A pervert? How can there be so many women. "
"You ancients … I mean, don't all men like to flirt, visit the Courtesan Belle and beauties? "To tell you the truth, do you have any girl you like in the brothel, the kind that has flesh and skin?"
The fire in her eyes flickered slightly. She looked at him expectantly, as if she could see through his heart with her eyes.
Four eyes met. Mu Yi An's expression gradually became serious. His face darkened and he glared at Yi Xiaoqiao: "Are you testing me?"
"What am I testing you for? I'm serious. " He smiled and said, "If there is, you can help her change her appearance into mine and then marry you. Firstly, you can solve your physical needs, and secondly, I can help you give birth to your children. Isn't that perfect for both sides?"
Mu Yi An's eyes were dark and heavy. He smiled and said sarcastically, "You are quite thoughtful."
"I don't have any other good points. I think a bit too much sometimes." Yi Xiaoqiao did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he felt very proud.
Mu Yi An sized her up and the corner of his mouth twitched: "I'm married to someone else, what about you?"
"Don't worry." Yi Xiaoqiao put down the spoon and looked at him sternly. "I am a man who values loyalty. When you get married, I will leave this place …"
She glanced at Mu Yi'an's chest in reluctance. "But then again, can you give me the jade token?"
You want to run away, and you still want his things? How did this woman's brain grow? Was she trying to take advantage of the whole world? Do you take him for a fool or something?
"Yi Xiaoqiao, don't forget, Cui Chen and the others are still in my hands." Mu Yi An pinched her chin and said, "If you chase them away, I'll kill them all."
His eyes were like that of a hungry wolf, making Yi Xiaoqiao involuntarily swallow her saliva. She pulled back her hand and said, "I …" "I'm not trying to run away. You know it, I can't possibly give birth to your child. Then, is finding the best one for you? I'm doing this for your own good."
"It's not like you like me, nor do I like you. Being together is clearly tormenting each other. It would be better to find something you like. Isn't it good that you guys love each other?"
Mu Yi An was silent. He felt his heart was a little flustered.
"After talking for so long, do you actually have one?" Yi Xiaoqiao signaled with her eyes, "Speak your mind if you have something to say. There's no need to be so shy."
"Nope." Mu Yi An was straightforward and didn't want to bother with her.
"How could there not be? There's even Qianyu."
Mu Yi An frowned and looked at her. He hadn't heard wrongly just now, but she seemed to have said 'Qianyu'. Was it the Qianyu he was thinking about?
Yi Xiaoqiao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. "I mean, doesn't the emperor have three thousand harem? If you don't have it, you'll be laughed at. "
It really was Qianyu!
She was very familiar with the Emperor? Why did it sound so familiar? Even calling him by name?
Mu Yi'an sized up Yi Xiaoqiao, his gaze as sharp as a sword.
Yi Xiaoqiao's face turned red from his gaze. She turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Yi Xiaoqiao, are you trying to link me up or are you just trying to probe me out?"
I don't intend to look for another family anyway, but your family has to have one. What if after we get married, the madame keeps chasing after me to get a grandson, and I can't even give birth to her? "
"You want to help me make the connection because of your child?" Mu Yi An's dark expression eased a little.
Yi Xiaoqiao shook his head. "Of course it's not only your child, but also your biological problems. At your age and full of energy, it's not bad to take in one or two concubines to vent your energy. I don't have any objections if you want to marry the proper wife, as long as she doesn't disturb me …"
Thinking like this, Yi Xiaoqiao felt that taking in a concubine was the most reasonable way to resolve everything. First, he could lure Muyi away from her, so that Muyi wouldn't be in the mood to mess with her, and secondly, he could open up a branch for the Mu Family and prevent Old Madam Mu from staring at him.
Yi Xiaoqiao thought with a sigh, not noticing that Mu Yi An's expression turned even more unsightly.
"Yi Xiaoqiao?" Mu Yi An walked over with large strides. His gaze was like a sharp sword that fell on her body.
Yi Xiaoqiao was frightened by his gaze. She slowly retreated and shrunk her neck as she asked, "You …" What are you doing? "
"You sure are generous!" Mu Yi'an sneered, turned around and quickly left like a gust of wind.
Yi Xiaoqiao looked at his back with a strange expression, muttering in a low voice, "Why are you angry? It's wrong to be generous. Don't tell me he likes watching fights between houses?"
Abnormal.
"Or does he want to wait for Yun Jiao?" Thinking of what Old Madam Mu had said, Yi Xiaoqiao felt that this was the most likely possibility. "Truly, he really did not come out. How pitiful …"
Yi Xiaoqiao served a cup of tranquil tea to the madame and helped her return to her room to rest. Of course, she was unavoidably stared at by the beauty of the spring. Yi Xiaoqiao did not take it to heart.
If it was said that she had been a good old lady before in order to please the old lady and live a better life in the Mu household, then this was from the bottom of her heart. The old lady was worried about her; of course, she wanted to repay the old lady and also care about the old lady.
After helping the madame sleep, Yi Xiaoqiao found that Muyi's room was dark when she returned to her room. She thought that perhaps he had gone to sleep, so she did not put it to heart and returned to her room to rest.
The night was dark, and Mu Yi'an was lying on his back on a thick tree trunk. He held a wine gourd in one hand and drank a mouthful of wine.
"General, you drank too much, don't drink too much." Yu Heng said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. It's just wine. I can still drink it."
"General, what's wrong with you now?"
Mu Yi'an didn't drink much, and would only drink a little when he was depressed. He had gotten drunk on Princess Yun Jiao's matter once before, why did he drink again this time?
While Yu Heng was confused, Mu Yi An took out a handkerchief and placed it in his hand to carefully examine it.
The pink handkerchief was embroidered with a few red plums. There was nothing extra, and there was no name. He placed it to his nose and took a whiff. It was a very faint and elegant fragrance. It was very fragrant, but …
"It doesn't smell like her." Mu Yi'an muttered softly.
"General, what did you say?" Yu Heng did not understand.
Mu Yi An shook his head, throwing the handkerchief to Yuheng: "Follow this handkerchief's material, find me a piece."
Yuheng took it and looked at it carefully. He used his fingers to chase it away and said, "I don't think I've seen this material before."
"Just look for it. What are you waiting for?"
Yu Heng smiled and asked, "This material is made from yarn clothes, right? Is it what Miss Qiao wants?"
"What does it have to do with her?"
"If it's not Miss Qiao, then it's Princess Yun Jiao!" Right now, these two women were about the only ones that would be on Muyi's mind.
"Why are you blabbering so much? Do you need me to sew your mouth shut?"
"There's no need to trouble the general." Yu Heng hurriedly apologized and accidentally smelled a fragrance. He strangely frowned and said, "This Pa's smell, it's a little familiar …"
"What are you familiar with!" Mu Yi An's expression changed and he glared at him. He grabbed the handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket: "Scram."
Cough, this is vinegar.
"Yes, your subordinate will go find cloth for the princess!"
"What's the matter with Guan Yunjiao?" Mu Yi An muttered to himself. Then, he took out his handkerchief and took a light sniff. "This smell is indeed a bit familiar. It's as if I've smelled it somewhere before."
