Chapter 188 Sooner or later, Ma Rongzheng doesn’t know whose horse he will fall in love with . In the past, he would have been very sure: Ah Jue will definitely fall in love with his horse. But now...

his heart seems to have already become like this. Like a kite that has lost its string, he can't control his direction.

So he was not absolutely sure, but...

Rong Zheng glanced at Baili Xi with an indifferent expression. He was no better.

Rong Zheng did not answer this question, because in his opinion, it was only a matter of time. Question, he galloped forward to chase, leaving Baili Xi with his back in fluttering clothes.

Baili Xi looked away, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then followed on horseback.

The four people stopped in front of the palace, and Su Mingjue waved people in.

As soon as Su Mingjue entered the hall, she heard her mother Wang Ruofu's instructions:

"Are you ready for the gourd chicken?"

"I asked the cook to prepare it according to the lady's instructions early in the morning."

"It must be fresh and tender. Yuan Yuan doesn't like eating too much food."

"Yes, Miss."

Su Mingjue heard the gourd chicken with a smile on her face, "My mother loves me, I haven't eaten this dish for a long time."
Ruofu looked over after hearing the words and saw Su Mingjue leaving and coming back. He wondered: "Didn't you go out just now? Why didn't you go play with Su Yang?"

Su Mingjue sat down on a chair and said with a smile: " I was originally going out, but someone came all the way to celebrate my birthday, so I'll be back."

Wang Ruofu was still a little confused when he heard this, and in the blink of an eye, Rong Zheng and Baili Xi walked in from outside.

Rong Zheng saluted Wang Ruofu, "Aunt Fu."

Wang Ruofu said "Hey" and looked up with a smile on his face, "Cheng'er is here!"

"Cheng'er", Baili Xi heard this. I was shocked. Rong Zheng's original name was Pei Zheng. Mrs. Su called Rong Zheng by his previous name so naturally. Could it be that he and Su Mingjue had known each other before?

Wang Ruofu glanced in the direction of Rong Zheng and saw Bai Bai from the corner of his eye. Li Xi was also surprised, "Xiao Xi is here today too."

When Wang Ruofu called him, Bai Li Xi put aside his speculations for the time being and stepped forward to salute solemnly, "Hello, madam."

Wang Ruofu nodded. He nodded and asked, "You are coming back from the water front."

Baili nodded, "Yes."

"Then the water bandits in front are still safe, then that's okay, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but worry. asked.

The King of Jinling left that day and has not returned for a long time. The war ahead is busy, and it is not easy for her as a woman to interfere, so as not to cause trouble to the prince.

When she saw Baili Xi, she couldn't bear it anymore and asked two questions in a row.

Bailixi smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry. Although the water bandits took advantage of the heavy rain to get closer, they were driven back by us not long after. They are guarded by the navy at the moment, so they don't dare to act rashly yet."

Wang Ruofu listened. It was safe at the front, and he felt much more stable, "That's good."

Rong Zheng was also surprised. He didn't expect that Baili Xi and Wang Ruofu would be so close in just a few dozen days, "Little The name "Xi" sounds quite intimate.

From their conversation, they also vaguely learned that Baili Xi seemed to be on the front line against the water pirates.

With such a good method, Rong Zheng secretly thought that he had underestimated him just now.

Su Yang was listening to Wang Ruofu's greetings with the two of them, and was a bit annoyed: "Aunt asked them so carefully, why didn't they say a word to me?"

Wang Ruofu smiled when he heard this, "You... You little devil is hanging in front of me every day, what else do I don’t know?”

Su Yang curled his lips and said in an air of annoyance, “I think Auntie doesn’t like me.”

Wang Ruofu shook his head and smiled. : "Okay, I'll prepare your favorite eight-treasure rice for you."

Su Yang stopped after hearing this, and the atmosphere at the scene became lively for a moment.

Wang Ruofu had no idea what the two newcomers were thinking. When she saw that they both came to celebrate her son's birthday, she immediately smiled and said to them:

"It's better to arrive early than to arrive in time. It's just right." The food is ready to be served. Let’s all serve!”

After a group of people washed their hands, they ate.

After Baili Xi finished eating, he was called to the study by Wang Ruofu. Su Yang got up early and took a nap after eating.

Su Mingjue and Rong Zheng were the only two people left in the hall.

Su Mingjue looked at Rong Zheng and said, "Are you going to take a rest?"

Rong Zheng shook his head, "I'll leave in a moment."

Su Mingjue was a little surprised, "So soon!"

Rong Zheng's face was gentle: "There are still some things that need to be done. Deal with it."

Su Mingjue didn't expect that when he saw this person, he would leave, "I'm going to play with you."

Even Su Mingjue didn't notice it, and there was a hint of intimacy in his words.

Rong Zheng looked at him with a smile, "I'll come find you when I'm not busy."

Although Su Mingjue was reluctant to leave, he didn't say anything more. He sent him out and finally watched him leave.

As soon as she returned to the hall from the door, she saw Baili Xi waiting in the hall. Su Mingjue raised a smile and said, "Are you going to play Tahunmu?"

Baili Xi didn't say anything. After looking at him for a long time, he said in a deep voice: " I will rush back later. The water bandits have not been completely eliminated yet. Your Majesty needs my help."

"Why do you want to leave?"

Baili Xi smiled: "I came here on leave. I will come back to play with you after I finish my work. "

Su Mingjue nodded, "Be more careful."

Baili Xi nodded and walked out the door. Su Mingjue also walked him outside until the other party left his sight.

After seeing off the two of them one after another, Su Mingjue felt an indescribable feeling of sadness in her heart.

It was as if everyone around him was busy, but he was the only one with nothing to do, and a feeling of boredom arose spontaneously.

After sending Baili Xi away, Su Mingjue thought of what Su Shiqian asked him to bring to her.

He took it out from his pocket, and it looked no different from an ordinary kit. He didn't know what kind of birthday gift the old man Su gave him.

To be honest, judging from the appearance, the packaging of this gift is a bit shabby. It would look better to put it in a box or something. He actually simply packed it in a cloth embroidered brocade bag, which looked particularly casual.

The kit was sealed, so it took a lot of effort for Su Mingjue to open it. When he opened it, he saw that there was a jade wrench inside, which was green and bamboo-shaped.

Su Mingjue looked at it for a moment. The color was nice, but for a modern person like him, this thing seemed a bit old and more suitable for middle-aged people.

However, the ancients have always loved these, and maybe young people may not necessarily wear this. Su Mingjue accepted it happily because of the good quality of the jade.

Thinking that the thumbnail was small and easy to lose, Su Mingjue put the things back into the bag, only to find that there was still a note inside.

"I wish my son a happy birthday. I hope you can be as graceful and proud as jade. I have left it to you to decide what you say."

Su Mingjue took the note and glanced at it. When he read the first half of the sentence, he didn't feel much. It wasn't until later that he noticed something slightly.

He looked along the kit bag for a long time, but found nothing strange. It was not until he touched it with his hand that he realized that there seemed to be a layer of something inside.
