The kitchen maids Xiao Wangfu was startled by the arrival of Huang Mingxiang who again wanted to cook the bakpao for Xiao Muqing. The drama of the servants who blocked him for fear of Huang Mingxiang getting dirty and the woman who insisted on fighting back happened. In the end, the servants lost and let Huang Mingxiang make his own bakpao.
Meanwhile Xiao Muqing, he had to listen to Gu Sinjie's current report early in the morning.
"Wangye, did you tell Wangfei about the matter last night?" ask Gu Sinjie.
Xiao Muqing shook his head. "Not yet."
Gu Sinjie heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great, because I found the latest information. Last night I sneaked into Rong Fu, then peeked into Master Rong's office."
Xiao Muqing frowned. "What's going on there?"
"Great master Rong proved to be the perpetrator, Wangye. I overheard a conversation he had with a young male servant, asking the servant to send a letter to some of the military higher-ups who were unhappy with your leadership, such as General Su. I have confirmed the contents of the letter, the man's servant has been cleaned. The letter is in my hands." At the end of the sentence, Gu Sinjie took out a brown envelope containing a piece of paper. The envelope officially had the stamp of the Rong noble family.
Xiao Muqing received the envelope, opened it and read it carefully. Her lips grinned thinly, then folded the envelope again and stored it in a drawer. "Call General Su here, Sinjie. Benwang's gonna re-educate the guy."
Gu Sinjie unhesitatingly nodded, his lips smiling in satisfaction. Finally, after a long time, Xiao Muqing slowly returned to intervene directly in a matter. Previously only ordered Gu Sinjie to take care of everything, making the subordinates forget about the power and figure of Xiao Muqing.
"Good, Wangye. But ..." Gu Sinjie hung up his sentence, there was doubt in his eyes when saying this.
Xiao Muqing nodded briefly, understanding what Gu Sinjie was thinking. "Young Master Rong's business with Wangfei?"
Gu Sinjie nodded back as well. "Right, I'm worried, Wangye. What if they all work together? Prime Minister Rong is about to destroy your military world and Young Master Rong gets the part to destroy your business and Wangfei? Although there is no absolute evidence, but at this time the Rong family is very worthy of our attention."
"If it's proven, immediately disconnect Wangfei's entire business contact with Young Master Rong. There is no need to discuss this with Wangfei, if the obstacle is to break the entire agreement because of the connection that Young Master Rong has in Western and Southern countries, then use the connection of Benwang colleague, Sinjie," said Xiao Muqing.
Gu Sinjie nodded, understood. It is true, without Rong Wangxia actually Chuan Wuqi can easily dart into Western and Southern countries. Xiao Muqing had made rough trips to small and large countries, the man's connections were greater than expected. Even if the man wanted a Prince promoting his goods, it was no big deal. But Chuan Wuqi's business was not made to actually do business. Chuan Wuqi stood only for the best main weapon supplier of his five hundred thousand troops, as sometimes the weapons that the Palace provided were of poor quality. Looking at the high-quality weapons that Xiao Muqing's troops had, some nobles and other fighters were starting to get interested. They asked Xiao Muqing's side to open the arms business in order to easily buy it, the request was immediately accepted and taken care of by Gu Sinjie overnight.
Gu Sinjie's report was finished, the man immediately bowed and said two to three sentences for parting. As he was about to cross the doorway, Xiao Muqing's voice stopped him.
"Call General Su after the business of benwang and Wangfei is done."
Gu Sinjie smiled widely, nodding quickly. "Good, Wangye. Of course, I won't interfere."
"You went to the valley all night?" xiao Muqing asked suddenly.
Gu Sinjie was petrified, surprised. How could Xiao Muqing know?
Seeing the look on Gu Sinjie's face, Xiao Muqing smiled faintly. "Go, Sinjie."
Gu Sinjie nodded awkwardly, then bowed again and immediately sauntered out quickly. Her ears turned red, she was ashamed of being caught by Xiao Muqing.
Shortly after Gu Sinjie left, Huang Mingxiang appeared and walked over to him with an enthusiastic smile.
"Wangye, my bakpao is ripe! Now let's go to the Pavilion!" huang Mingxiang said, then directly donned a thick black coat onto Xiao Muqing's body. After which pushed Xiao Muqing's wheelchair into the front Pavilion.
Arriving there, Xiao Muqing's eyes looked at the bamboo plate for the bakpao, two empty cups, and one teapot of Wu Long Cha. After positioning Xiao Muqing's wheelchair well, the woman rushed to take her own sitting position, right in front of Xiao Muqing. The two of them sat face to face, Xiao Muqing watching Huang Mingxiang closely.
Huang Mingxiang placed one warm bakpao on each of the small dishes for Xiao Muqing and himself, then poured the warm tea into their porcelain cups.
"Mingxiang made him feel special to you, Wangye. One is green beans and the other is chocolate. You can choose it, but I want you to try that green bean flavor first. The servants who tasted this bakpao were endlessly praising, making me even more curious," Huang Mingxiang said.
Xiao Muqing split the two bakpaos, smoke billowing out from the inside of the bakpao amidst the continuously falling snow. "You don't believe their words? Have they not praised many times?"
Huang Mingxiang chuckled. "It's not like that, yeah .. a little bit like that, anyway. I trust them, but I will still wait for your assessment. I'm afraid it doesn't feel as good as they say, afraid they're complimenting me for being reluctant to comment. But if you were, I wouldn't hesitate one bit. Because your mouth has an amazing sharp honesty."
Huang Mingxiang shook his head quickly. "No, it's not like that." His forehead folded in annoyance, then continued, "Have it, forget it. Focus on my bakpao assessment. How's it feel?"
Xiao Muqing was still chewing expressionlessly, making Huang Mingxiang increasingly doubtful of his delicious cooking. After the bakpao was successfully swallowed, Huang Mingxiang again asked impatiently. "How, Wangye?"
"bad."
The deg!
Huang Mingxiang suddenly limp, the look on the woman's spirit face instantly turned mellow. His spirit was gone, he became insecure.
"Bad to pass." Xiao Muqing's voice rang out again, making Huang Mingxiang re-enforce his body and smile widely again.
"Really??" huang Mingxiang asked, his face cheerful again.
Xiao Muqing nodded briefly. "Yes." Yeah." Then put the bakpao in his mouth.
Huang Mingxiang heaved a sigh of relief, he immediately went along to eat the bakpao with a smile that did not fade at all. He was happy that the cuisine was delicious and managed to get Xiao Muqing's praise, but also felt funny because Xiao Muqing's line tried to joke around with him. Huang Mingxiang's heart was delighted by those two things, his cooking and Xiao Muqing's joke that indicated that the man was already getting more open and warm for him.
"Wangye, do you want to hear my lyre music?" huang Mingxiang asked, his eyes glancing towards the lyre musical instrument that was behind Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing gave a short nod, it was not a bad idea. Seeing Xiao Muqing's response in agreement, Huang Mingxiang quickly swallowed his daffodil and hurriedly moved the lute near the table of the two of them, assisted with Yui and the loyal Su Mama waiting for them outside the Pavilion.
"Wangye, you should know. Previously your wife was a talented woman in the Mother City," Huang Mingxiang said, a confident smile appearing. In the count of three and one breath, Huang Mingxiang's fingers began to nimbly pluck the strings of the lute.
Xiao Muqing drank his tea, his eyes constantly looking towards Huang Mingxiang.
"Young night, I looked at the starry sky and found a soft ray of light. A cool breeze passed, the candlelight twinkled, dancing alone without anyone appreciating it. Leaving the fluttering flower petals in the wind. I want to preserve our past and make beautiful dreams. You shut all my grief."
"Swallow my tears and put on a fake smile, for you to put on your military clothes and go to war. The past cannot stop the flow after all, I will fly with my sword. The twilight appeared, I saw the sunset on the horizon. The night is young and the galaxy flows alone. Clear sky, nice view. If you're not by my side, what matter even if I can rise to the sky."
The last quote, Huang Mingxiang looked at Xiao Muqing deeper. The servants who heard Huang Mingxiang's voice endlessly whispered to praise. All of them who heard him could not smile, except Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing, the man did not smile or show any expression. Her countenance was flat, but her eyes dissolved in the deep gaze of Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang stood up, sat down next to Xiao Muqing and took out a wooden box with carved flowers and dragons. The wooden box was opened, Huang Mingxiang's hand took out a fragrant pouch that the nobles used to wear on their waists, complete with his jade pendant.
"This is my own fragrance bag, I hope Wangye likes it" Huang Mingxiang said, smiling at his blue dongker tea bag.
Xiao Muqing took the fragrant pouch, paying attention to it.
"Good." The man gave a brief compliment.
Huang Mingxiang nodded in spirit. "Of course!" His lips smiled wider.
"Come, Mingxiang." Xiao Muqing gave the code for Huang Mingxiang to get closer, the woman unhesitatingly complied.
Xiao Muqing slowly pulled on Huang Mingxiang's right palm, then a bright blue colored light was seen. Before long, the light coiled around Huang Mingxiang's ring finger, forming a ring. Not long after, the blue light dimmed, but the shape of the ring remained. A blue-colored ring exactly like a jade ring was now curled sweetly in Huang Mingxiang's jair. It was a ring made from Xiao Muqing's own 'body part', as it was made using the man's pure inner power.
Huang Mingxiang was stunned, staring at the ring. Wawat, his heart was moved. Slowly, the woman's eyes turned red, Huang Mingxiang gritted his teeth in order not to cry before Xiao Muqing. God, today he is very happy.
Xiao Muqing smiled faintly, then his hand moved stroking Huang Mingxiang's head while briefly peeling the woman's forehead. "Don't cry."
Huang Mingxiang nodded, his lips trying to smile. This was his best year-end snow, after previously he had always felt lonely in Huang Fu.
