The Queen wiped away the tears from her eyes. She glared at Yuan Mo fiercely, then pulled Jiang Zhili to sit on the chair. Then she said:

"If it's not your fault, then is it Zhizhi's fault? Your destined person is right beside you, yet you're searching for him/her all over the world. How ridiculously wrong!"

After saying that, the queen caressed Jiang Zhili's black hair lovingly.

"You are so beautiful, who else can be Mo'er's destined woman except you..."

Over the years, she had searched for Mo'er's destined woman, but to no avail. It seemed she had looked in the wrong place, as this destined woman was not from Mingyuan at all!

Jiang Zhili blushed, "Mother, please stop teasing me."

Seeing her daughter-in-law like this, the queen was extremely happy.

She waved her hand and gave Jiang Zhili a lavish reward, wishing she could move the entire national treasury into the East Palace for him to enjoy.

Jiang Zhili returned to the Eastern Palace with generous rewards, and the Queen also sent several outstanding imperial physicians to the Eastern Palace.

After doing all this, the queen personally prepared the palace banquet.

My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I have to show it off, right?

After Jiang Zhili returned to the East Palace, he went out of the palace with Yuan Mo again.

Being trapped in the harem every day must be extremely boring. It would be better to go out for a walk outside the palace to relieve the boredom.

Inside the carriage.

Jiang Zhili lazily sat on the soft couch, occasionally lifting the curtains of the carriage window with her slender hands to take a look, seemingly contented...

Yuan Mo stood close to the carriage, his gentle eyes carefully locked on the person on the couch. Just looking at her made him feel very happy.

Even if Zhizhi didn't allow him to sit down...

The carriage slowly stopped.

This is an auction house. Yuan Mo had ordered someone to book a private room early on. It would be a great thing if Zhizhi could take a liking to the items on display.

Yuan Mo took out two masks from his chest and handed one of the rabbit masks to Jiang Zhili.

"You cannot use your real identity when entering the auction house. You must wear a mask."

This auction house is designed to be very private. No matter you are a powerful person or a wealthy businessman, once you enter the auction house, everything will be decided by strength and money.

The carriage that Jiang Zhili and Yuan Mo rode in today was just an ordinary exquisite carriage, without any symbol of status on it.

Jiang Zhili looked at the other tiger mask in Yuan Mo's hand and raised her eyebrows. "This rabbit mask is more suitable for the prince. What do you think?"

Yuan Mo looked at the cute rabbit mask, then looked at the tiger mask in his other hand, and had no choice but to put the rabbit mask on his face.

My wife asked, how could he not agree?

After Jiang Zhili put on the tiger mask, he was the first to get off the carriage.

The auction was held in a desolate house in the capital. There were many carriages parked in front of the house, of various types but all of them were extremely valuable.

Jiang Zhili got off the carriage, and Yuan Mo followed closely behind. As soon as they got off the carriage, a servant came forward to lead the way.

"Oh, a rabbit mask, he really is a macho man with a girl's heart!" A man wearing a butterfly mask next to him teased.

Jiang Zhili looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a dark red robe standing in front of a carriage. Next to him stood another man wearing a monkey mask.

Yuan Mo didn't even look at the man, and pulled her into the house.

She did not avoid the man's big hand. After getting along with him, she was sure of his feelings for her.

The man's hands were very dry and slightly warm, just like that night. Her hands, held in them, felt exceptionally warm.

The interior of the mansion was completely different from the exterior. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as luxurious. When passing by the yard, Jiang Zhili even saw several flower pots made of pure gold.

The desolate scene outside is a deception...

The servants led Jiang Zhili and Yuan Mo to a hall with rows of seats. At the bottom was a large platform, which seemed to be used for displaying items.

There were already some people sitting scattered on the seats in the hall, all of them wearing masks.

Yuan Mo took out a small wooden sign from his arms and handed it to the servant. The servant took it, looked at it, and then respectfully led the two to the stairs in the hall.

"Please go to the private room. If you need anything, please ring the bell."

This is the rule of the auction. Even the servants here cannot know which box you are in unless you ring the bell.

Yuan Mo took Jiang Zhili to the private room on the second floor. The name of the room they were in was "Appreciating the Snow". She noticed that the room next door was called "Listening to the Rain".

When I pushed open the door of the 'snow viewing' box, I saw a black figure standing in the corner.

"This is my secret guard," Yuan Mo told Jiang Zhili after closing the door.

The secret guard walked in through the window early in the morning.

The secret guard's gaze fell on the clasped hands of Jiang Zhili and Yuan Mo: "..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts are indeed hard to guess. A few days ago, he was still searching for his destined woman, but now he is shaking hands with the Crown Princess.

Do you want both?

The secret guard was lost in thought, while Yuan Mo, immersed in the joy of holding hands with his beloved, was unaware of the secret guard's emotions. However, Jiang Zhili noticed that there was something wrong with his eyes...

Yuan Mo pulled Jiang Zhili to sit by the window. From the window, they could see the entire hall, but others could not see their appearance.

"Whenever you see something you like, just pull the bell by the window."

Every pull is a bid.

Jiang Zhili looked at the bell by the window and found it interesting. It was her first time attending an auction and she didn't know what fun there was.

At this time, the window of the next room was also pushed open, and the sound of conversation came from there.

They were two men's voices, one of whom sounded somewhat familiar.

"Tsk, there's nothing else going on in the capital these days. Everyone's talking about the Crown Prince getting married with a hen. It's quite interesting. Have you been to the palace to meet the Crown Prince recently?"

"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been resting since returning to the Eastern Palace. We should be able to see him in a few days. Marriage between two countries is a major event, so it is understandable that the Crown Princess is so angry."

"Oh, you actually speak up for the Crown Princess. That's amazing! When you enter the palace, ask me to come with you."

The two men were standing by the window, and Jiang Zhili was also by the window, so he heard the conversation between the two clearly.

There was a loud crash.

Jiang Zhili only felt a slight sound of breaking air beside his ears, and the window next door was pierced by something and fell directly into the next door house.

The man's clear voice rang out: "If you want to talk, then come to me and talk more..."

The two people next door looked panicked: "!!!"

Guess who the two people next door are...

Also, do you want to see someone eating meat? Looking back over the past few days, it seems like Zhizhi hasn't paid much attention to the monk...]
