Chapter 169 Settlement of Accounts
Chapter 169 Settlement of Accounts
When Bai Mohan returned to the mansion, Zhou Fuhai had already drunk two cups of tea and was getting impatient.
Seeing Bai Mohan enter the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, he was wrapped in a black fox fur cloak. He didn't look like he was going out because his clothes were loose and thin.
Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and said, "Your Highness Prince Mo, I have come here by His Majesty's order to bring you some rewards. His Majesty said that Your Highness has come all the way from Yan State, so a banquet will be specially prepared for Your Highness tonight. Please prepare it well."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty and my brother... are so thoughtful!"
Hearing Bai Mohan thanking his brother, Zhou Fuhai's eyes rolled, and then his face was full of smiles. "The gift has been delivered, and the message has been passed on. It's freezing cold, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Zhou Fuhai led his men to leave, and Duke Feng hurriedly followed to see them off.
Bai Mohan glanced at the reward sent by the empress. It was very ordinary, nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary jeweled headband and silk satin.
It was obvious that he came to investigate me.
Leng Feng said, "Your Highness, please return to the courtyard. You are still injured."
Bai Mohan glanced coldly ahead, "Don't be so talkative, you guys! Carry these things and follow me."
The maids and servants carried the rewards given by the empress and followed Bai Mohan all the way to Yunge Garden.
In the study of Yungeyuan, silver charcoal was burning and the room was very warm.
Bai Jinzhi was painting at the table, with a thin layer of steam rising from the hot tea beside him...
Black Hawk entered the study and said, "Master, His Royal Highness Prince Mo has come this way, bringing His Majesty's reward for today. He looks very unhappy."
Hearing Black Hawk's words, Bai Jinzhi chuckled a few times, "He's here to settle a score."
Just finished speaking,
Bai Mohan had already brought his men to the outside of the study.
He came in a hurry and did not bring an umbrella, so his head and shoulders were covered with snowflakes.
He was wearing thin clothes and was already cold, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.
Bai Jinzhi raised his eyes slightly and saw his royal brother standing outside the study, his face so dark that water could drip from it.
Seeing that the tip of his nose was red from the cold, "Mo Han is here, why don't you come in."
Bai Mohan's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled devilishly. "Okay, brother, are you trying to pretend nothing happened?" Then he walked in.
The servant beside him hurriedly served tea. When he arrived at Bai Jinzhi's study, Bai Mohan felt better. Seeing him so leisurely, he went to the palace to explain himself and then came back to paint.
The servant poured the tea, but Bai Mohan did not drink it. He stood up and walked to the table.
When he saw the painting made by Bai Jinzhi, he was so angry that he picked up the candle next to him and threw it at the painting, and the painting instantly caught fire.
The servant beside him quickly put out the fire.
The owner of the painting was holding up a jade cup and sipping tea. He just glanced at him and then smiled, not caring whether the painting was burned or not.
Bai Jinzhi, "I wonder why brother Mo Han burned my brother's painting?"
Bai Mohan walked over and sat down, his face stern. "I just accidentally knocked over the candle, brother, please don't blame me. By the way, I heard that you went to the palace this morning and asked for grace and rewards for me. These rewards are really tacky, and I'm not used to them. I thought you would like them, so I specially sent them to you."
The implication is to scold Bai Jin for being vulgar.
Bai Jinzhi smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. This is not Yan Kingdom, and His Majesty is not the mother king. If you get angry, I, your brother, can't protect you."
Bai Mohan snorted lightly, "It's okay, Her Highness will protect me. My royal brother may not know that Her Highness has taken care of me meticulously these past two days. When she heard I was leaving, she ignored the wind and snow and tried to stop me. We live in the same bedroom, so we are inseparable."
After saying these words, Bai Mohan looked up at Bai Jinzhi's expression.
Bai Jinzhi, holding the scroll in his hand, seemed oblivious to the situation. "Now that you're back, go and rest. These mundane items were specially selected for you by the Empress. I wouldn't take something away from someone else. Don't worry about me, my Royal Brother."
Specially selected for him? Just as Bai Mohan was about to lose his temper, Black Hawk came to report, interrupting their quarrel.
Black Hawk, "Your Highness, Ah Zi is here."
Ah Zi?
As he was speaking, Ah Zi walked in without any prior notice.
Entering the study, she rubbed her hands and exhaled a breath of hot air, "It's so cold..."
Seeing Bai Mohan and Bai Jinzhi sitting at the table sipping tea, she hurried over and sat between them, "I want some tea."
The maid quickly brought out a jade cup and poured hot tea into it.
Ah Zishui covered the teacup and took a sip, "Ah...it's so delicious." Then she looked very happy.
Bai Jin's eyes never left the book. "Why is Ah Zi here?"
Ah Zi looked at Bai Jinzhi infatuatedly, "Brother Jinzhi, you...you are so handsome..."
White Ashes: ........
Bai Mohan said jokingly, "How about letting Brother Jinzhi be your husband?"
After saying this, Bai Jinzhi glanced at Bai Mohan coldly.
Ah Zi pouted when she heard that, "No, Brother Jin is very fierce, I don't want to."
Black Hawk's shoulders shook slightly twice...
Everyone seemed to be surprised that she would say that.
Bai Mohan laughed out loud, "Sister A Zi, you are so straightforward."
Bai Jinzhi's tone was slightly cold at this time, "I am asking you a question, Ah Zi, what are you doing here?"
Ah Zi asked the maid to refill her tea, "Sister A Yun was worried about Brother Mo Han, so she asked Ah Zi to come and see him."
Jiuyi who just walked in:............
Jiuyi curled the corners of his mouth. This is really King Mo’s biological sister.
Bai Mohan curved his eyebrows and rubbed her head lovingly, "Tell His Highness for me that there is no need to worry. As long as His Highness takes good care of himself, I will be relieved."
Ah Zi seemed unaware of the sudden chill in the air and nodded heartlessly, "Yeah!"
After saying that, he picked up a piece of cake and took a bite.
Bai Jinzhi put down the book and looked at A Zi and Jiu Yi coldly.
Jiuyi looked away. It's none of my business. You can't see me...
Bai Jinzhi said, "Since this is the case, I still need to read a book, so I won't keep you here any longer. Leave."
Knowing that King Jin was angry, Bai Mohan looked smug, "Azi, let's go, Brother Jin doesn't welcome us anymore, let's go to Mo Yun Garden, Brother Mohan has delicious food there too."
Ah Zi nodded and then stuck out her tongue at Bai Jinzhi. "Brother Jinzhi is so stingy. I ate a piece of your cake and you still want to chase Ah Zi away. Brother Mo Han is so gentle and generous, he's really lovable!"
91 Black Hawk:........
Bai Jinzhi, "Show the guest away."
Bai Mohan stood up and smiled gently at A Zi, "Sister A Zi, let's go. Don't disturb your brother."
Hearing this, A Zi stuffed all the pastries in her hand into her mouth, fearing that her brother Jin would make her spit them out, so she ran away quickly.
Jiuyi stayed behind, and after everyone left, he saluted to Bai Jinzhi and said, "Your Highness King Jin, Ah Zi's words were rude. If they offended Your Highness, please don't blame me."
Bai Jinzhi turned a page of the book and asked, "Did your master ask you to bring a message to me?"
A message? His Highness hadn't given any other instructions except to keep an eye on Ah Zi and not to cause any trouble.
Jiuyi, "No."
Black Hawk suddenly felt that the aura around him became weaker again. He gave Jiuyi a look, indicating that Jiuyi should leave.
Jiuyi understood immediately, "It's alright, I'll leave first. Your Highness, take your leave."
After saying that, he immediately rushed out of the yard and disappeared without a trace...
