Chapter 122 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (29)
Mu Hanqing stood up, straightened the wrinkles on her clothes, and then walked towards the villa where Tang Cuo lived. She hadn't seen him for several days and felt a strange sense of emptiness in her heart.
As soon as I stepped into the villa, I saw Tangcuo walking on the stone road, looking quietly at the petals blooming on the tree, and even raised his hand to touch them. He looked extremely cute.
Mu Hanqing did not disturb him, but quietly walked around from behind the tree on the other side, then put her arms around his slender waist and pressed him against her body.
Tang Cuo was startled by this sudden action. Just as he was about to make a counterattack, he smelled the unique sandalwood scent on him and subconsciously stopped what he was doing.
"What are you looking at that make you so engrossed?" Mu Hanqing asked in a low and hoarse voice.
"The trunk is thick, the leaves are dense, and the flowers are bright. I think it would be even better if there was a swing." Tang Cuo smiled in a gentle voice.
"Do you want it?" Mu Hanqing moved closer.
"want to."
"Then kiss me." Mu Hanqing raised his hand and turned his body around, holding his waist with both hands, "How about it?"
"Uh...then I don't want it." Tang Cuo's cheeks flushed and he turned his head away silently.
"You don't want it?" He raised his voice and then raised his hands to clasp his neck and leaned over to kiss his lips.
A momentary feeling of suffocation enveloped Tang Cuo's body until his cheeks turned red. Mu Hanqing then let go of his lips, lowered her eyes to look at him, and chuckled, "Can't you breathe?"
"You bullied me..." Tangcuo's voice was weak and he looked at him aggrievedly.
"Haha, so you think this is bullying? I have other ways of bullying people." His words were light and had a hint of seduction.
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and Rongcuo came out from the darkness beside him and nodded slightly, "Your Majesty."
"Make a swing on this tree. Make sure it's sturdy."
"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Rong Cuo nodded, then turned and left.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Tang Cuo said in a low voice.
"You're welcome. This is our equal exchange." As he said that, Mu Hanqing released his arm around his waist and pulled Tang Cuo towards the rattan chair on the other side.
Tangcuo did not resist and just walked to the side following his force.
At the side of the wall, a pair of pupils stared at the two of them silently. After a long time, they withdrew their gaze and left silently.
In the side courtyard, Qingdai stood cautiously beside Guan Shang, observing her expression.
"Are you serious?" Guan Shang's nails dug into his flesh, but he seemed not to feel any pain at all.
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. I don't know what kind of charm that vixen used to bewitch the prince." Qingdai said with exaggeration.
"Heh. But a guy who came from a brothel dares to compete with me for the prince. Is he worthy?" Guan Shang said angrily, then turned to look at Qingdai, "Qingdai, write a letter to my father immediately, saying that the relationship between the prince and I has been destroyed by someone, and let my father handle it. Remember, you must make it clear to him."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." After saying that, Qingdai turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, I'm going to put on a show to add fuel to the fire. Once the show is done, I'll tell my father." Guan Shang pursed his lips.
"Yes, Qingdai will follow the young lady's orders."
Hearing her words, Guan Shang's eyes darkened slightly, with a smile on his lips: Tang Cuo, this time I want to see how many lives you have, and whether you can escape from my hands again and again?
Meanwhile, in the palace...
The little emperor raised his hand and slammed it on the table, his tone tinged with anger, "You said Uncle Wang didn't even see you? Didn't you say you came here on my order?"
"I did, but the person who came out to greet us said that the prince has not recovered from his cold yet and might infect Your Majesty, so he cannot see you." Eunuch Li lowered his head cautiously.
"This is ridiculous. He just doesn't want to see me. Did Uncle Wang expect this to happen a long time ago? He expected that I would ask him for help, so he returned the military power to me so easily?"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Calm down, how can I calm down? Now the former dynasty is in chaos, and there is no one else in the court except my uncle, and my uncle refuses to see me. How can I not be anxious and angry?" The little emperor stood up, "Do I really have to go and beg him in person?"
"Your Majesty, why don't we consult the Left Prime Minister? The Left Prime Minister is very capable and will definitely think of a suitable way to resolve your confusion." Eunuch Li suggested.
Hearing his words, the little emperor's eyes suddenly brightened up. "Well, that makes sense. Then go and ask the left prime minister to come and discuss this with me."
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
Half an incense stick later, Xiao Chengyu rode a carriage and entered the palace, "Your Majesty."
"Left Prime Minister, please stand up." The little emperor raised his hand and helped him up. "Left Prime Minister, you should know why I asked you to come here today. The people of the previous dynasty are still ambitious and have cooperated with the Libei Dynasty to start a conflict with us.
And there is no one in such a huge dynasty who can lead the army to war. My uncle has also refused to meet me on the grounds of being unwell. I really don’t know what to do.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a plan.
"Left Prime Minister, please speak quickly."
"I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the person I was talking about at that time?"
"Is the Left Prime Minister talking about the crown prince of the previous dynasty?" The little emperor thought for a moment.
"Yes, I can see that the man holds a high position in the heart of King Rong'an. Why don't we start with him first?"
"Okay, let's do as the Left Prime Minister said. If you need any order from me, just tell me." The little emperor nodded.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. We need to wait a little longer. Prince Rong'an is good at guessing. If we rush, we will get half the result with twice the effort."
"Well, the Left Prime Minister is worthy of being my right-hand man." A smile appeared on the little emperor's face.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Serving the country and the people is the way of a minister, and it is also my duty." Xiao Chengyu seemed to have remembered something and continued, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Miss Guan who lived in Prince Rong's Mansion?"
"The legitimate daughter of the Prince of Huainan? I remember that she was the prince's uncle's quasi-principal wife. It seems that the prince's uncle took her back personally." The little emperor narrowed his eyes.
"That's true. Your Majesty, you can let the King of Huainan discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Rong'an first and convey your intention at the same time." Xiao Chengyu smiled slightly.
"Yes, that's right. After all, we will be a family in the future, so this is good." The little emperor nodded and agreed with his idea.
In the following days, Mu Hanqing ran to Tang Cuo's side courtyard almost every day, taking Tang Cuo to the stables to ride horses and to the garden to appreciate flowers. Everything seemed to go according to his wishes.
"Your Highness, the peach blossoms are so beautiful. Why don't we plant one in the side yard?" Tang Cuo reached out and stroked the tree trunk.
"If you like us, then we'll do it." Mu Hanqing nodded, and as he spoke he moved a little closer to Tang Cuo, then leaned over and gently kissed his forehead, "Acuo..."
"Your Highness..." Before Mu Hanqing could finish his words, Rong Cuo came over at an inopportune time and stopped beside him. "Prince Huainan has arrived at the gate of the palace and said he wants to see you."
