C71 The Situation in the Capital
After Lau Yan left, Lan Xuehan frowned. She asked with slight displeasure, "Liuyun is your servant girl, right? Why did you transfer her to my side? I already have Yi and do not want servant girl anymore. Furthermore, I have been independent and free since I was young and am not used to having people by my side to serve me."
She had always been happy in the Jianghu. She was used to being alone. Accepting Yi was because of her mother's request. Furthermore, Yi's own loyalty also proved her.
Now that she had to accept a person she had never met to serve her, she really could not be happy.
Dongfang Jin saw the displeasure in her eyes and thought that Lan Xuehan misunderstood that he had found a person to monitor her closely, so she found such an excuse to shirk.
A trace of injury flashed through her eyes. Lowering her eyelids, she slowly said, "Yi does not understand the situation in the capital. If there is a problem, she cannot make the correct response. Liuyun has always been by my side. She is very familiar with the situation in the capital and the background of high-ranking officials. With her by your side, you will not be ignorant of the situation in the capital. Isn't that so?
Furthermore, Liuyun is only serving you by your side. She definitely won't hinder your actions. You can definitely rest assured about this. "
Hearing the stiff emotions in Dongfang Jin's words, Lan Xuehan knew that he misunderstood her meaning. Her light gaze carried a trace of amusement as she looked at Dongfang Jin's hesitant expression.
She opened her mouth and said, "It is only because I am not used to having people following by my side that I do not suspect that you ordered people to monitor me. I believe that with your personality, this bit of moral integrity is still necessary. Besides, I'm not someone she can spy on"
Such a conceited tone made Dongfang Jin happy. His eyebrows relaxed and traces of joy flowed out slowly, like a clear and moving stream.
Lan Xuehan glanced at him and tried her best not to look at his monstrous face to avoid being confused by him.
"You are right. Yi indeed does not understand the situation in the capital. I am also a newcomer and need someone to remind me. Since you have already thought of letting Liuyun come over, then let's do it this way."
Lan Xuehan's compromise undoubtedly made Dongfang Jin overjoyed. Even when he went to the study, he could not suppress the smile on his face. Mo Xing and the others looked confused.
Mo Chen fiddled with Mo Xing, who was beside him, and asked curiously, "Why is His Royal Highness so happy? I have never seen His Royal Highness like this before."
When they were outside, they had always called Dongfang Jin 'Young Master' to deceive others. Now in the capital, they had to be careful with their words and actions. They could not be careless at all, so they naturally had to call him 'Your Royal Highness'.
Mo Xing's eyes raised and his eyebrows raised. He said proudly, "You don't know this, do you? In the past, the Prince did not meet Miss Lan. Now that he has Miss Lan, he will naturally be happy."
Mo Chen instantly understood that a hero would not be able to pass through a beauty's hurdle. Even a person like his Mistress who did not care about worldly affairs was dragged down from the clouds and stepped into the endless dust.
He wanted to ask Mo Xing something more, but just as he was about to say something, Dongfang Jin's eyes became colder and colder. His heart immediately turned cold and he obediently shut his mouth.
Dongfang Jin then turned his eyes to Mo Lan, who was standing beside him. Mo Lan, who was dressed in black, was like a cold and sharp sword. His body was surrounded by a frightening Qi, and it was cold and calm.
When he saw Dongfang Jin looking at him, he immediately understood the meaning of the question. He cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, ever since you left the capital, nothing major has happened in the capital. It's just that the Four Kingdoms Banquet is about to begin. The First Prince has asked His Majesty many times to obtain the authority to organize this banquet, but His Majesty has not agreed.
Furthermore, this subordinate had heard that the people from the Xiyue Country were Prince Chen, Nangong Feng, Crown Princess and Xi Moyao from the Zihua Country, and the person from the Holy Snow Country was Prince Beiming, Beiming Yu.
The envoys from the Three Kingdoms are preparing to set off. They will arrive at the Saint Capital in about two months' time, so all the forces will be given the right to host the banquet. They are qualified to receive the envoys from the Three Kingdoms."
When Mo Feng heard this, he frowned and said sarcastically, "Your Royal Highness, anyone with discerning eyes can see that these people are all princes of the three empires. As for the envoys sent by our country, their status must not be low. Otherwise, it is very likely that they will be labeled as looking down on the three countries.
If the Emperor sends someone to receive the ambassadors, it means that the Emperor has a deeper meaning for that prince. The First Prince is in a hurry to accept this assignment. Is he not afraid of the Emperor being suspicious? "
Dongfang Jin quietly listened as his slender fingers rested on the blue and white porcelain teacup. He grinded it and the tea smoke curled up. His jade face was blurry and his expression was even darker.
