Huang Mingxiang and Baili Ruyi waited quietly in the living room, the two of them occasionally spoke and the topic was always around Xiao Muqing, Gu Sinjie, and the Palace.
"Wangfei, you should know. Wangye had once punished Chen Taifei for saying he kept on talking very spicyly to one of Chen Taifei's female guests who liked Wangye." Baili Ruyi was still busy telling stories, the woman loved to tell stories.
Huang Mingxiang smiled. "Ah .. means that indeed the talent of his spicy babble is indeed formed naturally from birth."
Baili Ruyi laughed loudly at Huang Mingxiang's reply, she did not expect Huang Mingxiang to be such a pleasant storytelling friend.
"Really! Even Gunniang was crying, but there was no sign of regret from Wangye. Chen Taifei immediately punished him by standing in the corner of the room to reflect on his mistake. The late Emperor who heard Chen Taifei punish Wangye just laughed, he supported Chen Taifei's actions even though he was actually feeling sorry to see his son like an unkempt street child standing was indeed a sad face in the corner of the room."
Huang Mingxiang nodded his head. "It seems Miss Baili knew very clearly about Wangye and Mr. Gu's story."
Baili Ruyi nodded. "Sure, you've known each other since childhood. I had a fight with Wangye the first time the man came to the Academy. Wangye looked arrogant and did not want to get along, I was annoyed, so I challenged him in front of the top brass of the Academy including my father. Yes .. although I lost, but at least I'm happy because that's why the three of you became close. Gu Sinjie and Wangye had known each other before we met at the Academy, Gu Sinjie had been by Wangye's side since Wangye was very young. Chen Taifei who brought them closer, he had a good friendship with the late Gu Furen back then."
Huang Mingxiang nodded again, it turned out that Xiao Muqing's childhood stories were a lot of ridiculous things. The man had also been arrogant and had a spicy mouth since childhood, Huang Mingxiang seemed to be unable to change those two things from Xiao Muqing. The only way was to rival Xiao Muqing's arrogant attitude and spicy mouth.
Huang Mingxiang then recalled something, he wanted to ask how could Xiao Muqing suddenly appear in the Palace. Huang Mingxiang quickly brought his mouth closer to Baili Ruyi's ears so that no one else would hear their talk other than Su Mama. Because if this question is leaked, then the touching story of a husband who is willing to get out of his comfort zone to help his beloved wife will be messed up in the minds of people. Huang Mingxiang was unwilling to mess this up, because that imagination was something good for him to take advantage of.
"Tell me honestly, how could Wangye suddenly appear in the Palace and be willing to just walk out of Xiao Wangfu?" huang Mingxiang asked, his forehead folded in confusion.
Baili Ruyi who heard this suddenly smiled widely, her annoying teasing face appearing. He replied shortly, "Because of you, Wangfei. What else?"
"I? How's it possible?" Both corners of Huang Mingxiang's brows fused together. It's nonsense. Because himself? Even before he had actually set out and tried to persuade the man, Xiao Muqing had always flatly refused his invitation.
Baili Ruyi nodded. "Not too long, but also not too short, Wangfei. You want to hear?"
"Say." Huang Mingxiang was impatient, he wanted to know the story. Because not only the Palace people were shocked, he was also shocked!
*Some time ago before Huang Mingxiang visited the Palace.*
residence of the right-wing Prime Minister, Huang Fu-Hung
Baili Ruyi watched Huang Mingxiang walking out of Huang Fu with tears she roughly wiped away.
"Jeez .. she was crying. Will Gege be touched to hear this story?" Baili Ruyi chuckled after saying that. Then he immediately jumped up and disappeared from the Huang Fu area just like that using his Qinggong style.
He decided to report this matter first before Huang Mingxiang actually reached the Palace. He could not wait to see Xiao Muqing's reaction, even though this actually kept himself busy going back and forth.
Arriving at Xiao Wangfu, Baili Ruyi told Xiao Muqing everything. The man was reading the book as usual by the window of his room accompanied by Gu Sinjie who was busy wiping his sword.
"Gege, weren't you touched when you heard the story?" ask Baili Ruyi.
Xiao Muqing shook his head. "What to think? All humans have their own problems in each of their lives. With that, they can eventually grow. Return, Ruyi. Report something important. Don't come here to report something that doesn't really matter just to see the unimportant reaction. Benwang didn't order you to watch over Huang Mingxiang like that."
Baili Ruyi rolled her eyes lazily. Xiao Muqing did not exclaim. She should have been touched because Huang Mingxiang was crying as a dutiful daughter to her father and had to go through the whole matter alone without any definite support from anyone.
Being lazy to be sprayed for the umpteenth time with the scathing phrase of Xiao Muqing, not to mention Gu Sinjie who was happy to interfere to aggravate the atmosphere, Baili Ruyi also returned following Huang Mingxiang.
Once at the Palace, he had lost track of Huang Mingxiang. But ... After nearly ten minutes circling the entire Palace, Baili Ruyi finally managed to find Huang Mingxiang's position. But his forehead folded when he realized that Huang Mingxiang's carriage had stopped at the back entrance of the cold Palace.
Baili Ruyi overheard Huang Mingxiang's conversation with a man, at first she had no idea who the man was. But ... upon learning that the man was Xiao Jihuang, he nearly punched the old window before him in shock. What ... Huang Mingxiang had an affair with Xiao Jihuang from Xiao Muqing? Gosh ... The scandal is incredible, roughly who would Huang Mingxiang end up choosing? Niece or uncle? Baili Ruyi laughed inwardly, then tried to shake off the ridiculous thoughts that were in her head and refocused her attention.
"Please your attitude, your majesty."
"How is it possible? Why are you being so cold to me?"
"You must pay attention to my title and your own, your majesty. I am the Empire-Auntie"
"Zhen never approved of your marriage to Xiao Wangye!"
Baili Ruyi was wide-eyed at this conversation. Jeez ... The Emperor harbored feelings for Huang Mingxiang? Since when? He had never heard rumors about it, only knowing that Huang Mingxiang and the Emperor were both little friends and good cousins because Huangtaihou often brought them together.
Baili Ruyi kept eavesdropping and peeking, until finally Xiao Jihuang who had turned her back to the old window where she peeked turned her head. This made Baili Ruyi startled, the woman quickly jumped onto the roof. He had not expected Xiao Jihuang to suddenly turn her head. Is ... That man had already been aware of his presence from the very beginning?
While still faintly hearing that Huang Mingxiang and Xiao Jihuang were still busy conversing, Baili Ruyi came back quietly down. He made sure that he would not make any sound. When he returned a peek, he suddenly saw the sight of Xiao Jihuang pulling Huang Mingxiang into his arms.
Baili Ruyi again rounded her eyes, she stroked her chest in shock. Before long he saw Huang Mingxiang trying to rebel, stretching hard Xiao Jihuang.
Baili Ruyi smiled, how would .... if Xiao Muqing heard this story? It's impossible for this one the man considers unimportant, isn't it?
Baili Ruyi jumped back onto the roof, then darted away leaving the Palace towards Xiao Wangfu. Arriving at Xiao Wangfu, he quickly told this to Xiao Muqing. This time Xiao Muqing was at lunch, no longer reading books. The man continued to chew and take food using his chopsticks while continuing to listen to Baili Ruyi's story.
"Gege ... How is this? Don't you think feelings can grow stronger between the two? Previously Wangfei had participated in the selection of concubines, there must have been a glimmer of feeling towards the Emperor even if a little. And at this time, it turned out that the Emperor who looked calm in the presence of many people had overwhelming aggressive feelings towards Wangfei. About ... who will-"
Nah!
Baili Ruyi and Gu Sinjie fell silent upon hearing Xiao Muqing's broken chopsticks. The man broke the two chopsticks he was holding just like that. Baili Ruyi's back stiffened as Xiao Muqing began to look at her.
"What is your report that can really be accounted for?" asked Xiao Muqing.
Baili Ruyi nodded quickly. "Of course, how could Ruyi dare to fabricate? Our friendship has been established for a dozen years, but you still continue to doubt me!" He snorted at the end of the sentence, feeling offended.
"Wangye, this is dangerous." Gu Sinjie frowned, looking at Xiao Muqing.
"What's dangerous?" asked Xiao Muqing.
"the situation. What Ruyi said though was annoying, but it was true. There was no guarantee Wangfei was completely clean of the feeling of love for the Emperor. Given that Wangfei had participated in the selection of concubines and was often brought close to the Emperor since childhood by Huangtaihou," replied Gu Sinjie.
Xiao Muqing was silent. Thinks. His heart and brain are opposite each other.
"Wangye, you have to come to the surface to be able to take care of Wangfei" Gu Sinjie said.
Xiao Muqing simply threw his broken chopsticks onto the floor, he somehow suddenly ignited a huge emotion upon hearing this one Baili Ruyi story. Xiao Muqing then glanced at Gu Sinjie. "Prepare everything. Benwang will catch up with the woman."
Gu Sinjie who heard this was stunned, rounding his eyes. Gosh ... All these years he had persuaded Xiao Muqing with the great problem of the Empire's emergency that even threatened thousands of lives, it turned out that only this matter regarding Huang Mingxiang could persuade Xiao Muqing to come out of Xiao Wangfu. Gu Sinjie was very grateful to Huang Mingxiang.
