Chapter 2024 Invitation
Mio'er didn't intend to eavesdrop, she just went out for a stroll, who made them talk too loudly, but she wasn't interested in who Miss Lei was, so she just let it go and didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that dawn was coming soon, and their boat had been drifted away by the current, Mingxi stayed overnight. Anyway, they should arrive at the port at noon tomorrow, and they would just leave at that time.
There was still an empty room on the boat for Mio'er to rest. Mingxi and Huohuang leaned on the deck and looked at the brilliant sky. Xu Jinbei sat behind them. The three of them didn't speak to each other, only the fishy smell of Jiang The wind was very cold, but the three teenagers didn't seem to feel the cold at all, but rather enjoyed it.
After a while, Xu Jinbei said in a low voice, "Master Mingxi, although my room is a bit small, it's still clean, why don't you go and rest first."
"No, it's comfortable here." Ming Xi said with a light smile.
"It's almost dawn." Huohuang looked at the paleness in the east, "Should we leave first, or wait until we get ashore?"
Xu Jinbei looked at Mingxi, if they insisted on leaving, only a small boat could be used, could it be possible that the three of them could cross the river in a light boat?
"Anyway, we've been here for half a day, so we might as well stick to the shore." Ming Xi said flatly, without even opening his eyes.
"Are you interested in that Miss Lei?" Fire Phoenix leaned close to Ming Xi's ear and asked.
"..." Xu Jinbei thought that he was right behind them, and he could still be heard no matter how softly he spoke. The boy named Huo'er didn't have to look mysterious and didn't want him to know.
Ming Xi slightly opened his eyes, "Do you know what Xiu Nu does?"
"Ah?" Huohuang was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you entering the palace for a draft? Go be a court lady."
When he was a little fire phoenix, he often heard Ye Zhen hugging him and complaining, saying that Mo Rongzhan was going to draft a girl again. He was angry at first, but a few days later he laughed and said show Women have become court ladies.
Isn't Xiunu a court lady?
Mingxi couldn't help laughing, "Did my father draft talent in the past just to add maids to the palace?"
"The talent show is to select outstanding ladies from all walks of life to enter the palace as the emperor's concubine." Xu Jinbei explained to Huohuang in a low voice.
"Isn't that about choosing a wife?" Fire Phoenix called out, "Wait a minute, Murong Ke is about to become queen? What about Mingyu?"
"What are you talking about!" Ming Xi knocked on him, "Isn't it normal for Sixth Uncle to become a concubine? What else can Ming Yu do?"
Huohuang said anxiously, "Mingyu calls him Emperor Father now, if he becomes a queen, Mingyu will call another woman Queen Mother, can Yaoyao bear it?"
Mingxi sighed, sat up straight, and said seriously, "Do you think Mingyu would call other women queen mothers?"
"She can call Murong Ke the emperor father..." Huohuang snorted, although the city lord didn't express anything, but as one of the people who knew the city lord best, he felt that the city lord must be very unhappy.
"You underestimate Mingyu too much." Mingxi said lightly.
Huohuang crossed her legs, "Okay, since you're not worried, what are you still doing here?"
"For those who may want to get along with Mingyu in the future, it's okay to get to know them first." Mingxi said lightly.
"There will be more than a hundred women entering the palace in the future, do you want to get acquainted with them one by one?" Xu Jinbei asked.
Mingxi stood up and looked back at Jiang Mian, "It's more special than any other beautiful girls who can invite someone to invite a woman from a down-and-out sect pretending to be a pirate to rob."
If Lei Bingfu really made people so vigilant, it can be predicted that it will not be easy for her to enter the palace in the future, and she will naturally get along with Mingyu.
He knew that Murong Ke was good to Ming Yu, but now the Sixth Uncle did not have any children of his own, and he had an old love for Ye Zhen in his heart. If this feeling faded in the future, and he had his own son, he would still send him to Ye Zhen. Is Mingyu a daughter?
Ming Xi didn't have that much confidence in Murong Ke, so he wanted to take a look at these women who were going to enter the palace for Ming Yu first, so that she could be prepared.
"Why is it so troublesome? If you are worried that Mingyu will be bullied in the future, just take Mingyu away." Huohuang said in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Mingxi's voice was cold, didn't he want to take Mingyu away? But Mingyu insisted on staying, some things cannot be changed if he wants to.
Huohuang thought of Mingyu's stubborn temper, and he has never called Yaoyao mother again, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want."
"What are you talking about?" Mio'er walked over from behind sleepily, and leaned directly on Mingxi's body, "I'm so hungry."
"Miss Mio, can a man and a woman kiss each other..." Seeing this scene, Xu Jinbei persuaded in a low voice, if people see this, what will happen to her and Mingxi's reputation.
"What is intimacy between a man and a woman?" Mio'er asked with a confused face.
Xu Jinbei looked at Mio'er in a daze, not sure if she did it on purpose or if she really didn't know what it means to be in love with a man or a woman.
"Boys and girls have to sit at separate tables after the age of seven, let alone cuddling like this. That would make men and women unable to kiss each other." Mrs. Luo who appeared at some time raised her eyebrows and looked at Mio'er, followed by a young woman. The girl, the girl lowered her head, standing there timidly.
Mio'er didn't even look at her, and continued to hug Mingxi's arm, "What rules, it's really troublesome."
Mrs. Luo endured her disgust, thinking that this girl looked exquisite and beautiful, like a lady from a great family, but she did not expect to be so vulgar, even worse than a country girl.
Why is Bai Luoshan so respectful to them?
"Mrs. Lei." Xu Jinbei bowed, "What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. Yesterday I was saved by the three of you. Today I want to host a banquet to thank you. I hope Mr. Xu and these friends can appreciate it." Mrs. Lei recalled her daughter's instructions, no matter how much she looked down on Mio'er in her heart, she still He said with a smile on his face.
Xu Jinbei couldn't make decisions on behalf of Mingxi, so he turned his head and looked over.
Mingxi didn't even look back, as if Mrs. Lei wasn't talking to him.
This is clearly a rejection.
"Mrs. Lei, we appreciate your kindness." Xu Jinbei refused for Mingxi.
"It's just a meal." Mrs. Lei was rarely rejected in person like this, and her face was a little unsightly.
"Eat?" Mio'er turned her head immediately, "Mingxi, I'm hungry."
Mingxi pointed to the front, "We'll go eat after landing."
Mrs. Lei smiled reluctantly, "There are still two hours to go to the shore. It would be bad to make the little girl hungry. I have some early here. You fill your stomach first, and I will make some good food later." food."
A maid handed over the food box.
