"I don't know your name, sir?" Mo Yufeng asked indifferently.
"I'm Fallen Leaf!" the man said with a smile.
"Baihan people!" Mo Yufeng lowered his head, raised his wine glass and said softly.
"How did the prince know? I don't think I ever told him!" Luo Ye asked curiously, holding his chin.
"Based on looks! The women of Baihan Country have sweet looks, and the men have a gentle and elegant look!" Mo Yufeng looked up at the expression on his face.
"Amazing! As expected of Prince Fu Qing, a veteran of many battles!" Luo Ye smiled, raised his glass, clinked it with Mo Yufeng's, and drank it all in one gulp. "I've heard for a long time that Prince Fu Qing is fond of women, but I didn't believe it at first. Now that I see it, it seems that sometimes rumors can be believed!"
Mo Yufeng's deep eyes almost made Luo Ye fall into them, but fortunately she dodged his gaze in time, "I also heard that when Princess Fu Qing was here, the prince seldom came here, but the princess seemed to have..." Luo Ye dragged out the words and looked at Mo Yufeng.
"Princess Fu Qing?... There is no such thing as Princess Fu Qing! She was just a woman I married on a whim!" Mo Yufeng sneered. Luo Ye was stunned for a moment and clenched his fists. Mo Yufeng didn't see it, but he noticed Luo Ye's stiff face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Ye came back to her senses and looked at him, "I thought the prince and princess had a very good relationship!"
"Oh!" Mo Yufeng's eyes turned icy cold. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He was about to pour another glass when Luo Ye suddenly pressed the wine pot and looked at Mo Yufeng with a smile. "Apricot blossom wine is a good wine, and it needs to be tasted. Drinking it like Your Highness is called drinking away sorrow... and the sorrow only makes you more sorrowful!"
Mo Yufeng rolled his eyes at him coldly and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Since meeting is fate, I will accompany His Majesty to have a drink today!" Luo Ye put down his hand, picked up the wine jug and filled his glass with wine, raised it up and looked at him.
Mo Yufeng snorted and raised his glass.
The two of them drank until dark. Mo Yufeng looked at him and found that he was not drunk at all. He had even poured him several pots of wine. Could it be that he was also someone who could not get drunk?
"What's wrong? Why doesn't the prince drink anymore?" Luo Ye just raised his glass and saw Mo Yufeng staring at him, so he asked curiously.
"Nothing, it's getting dark, and I should go back!" Mo Yufeng stood up and prepared to leave. Luo Ye behind him also stood up and suddenly said, "Is Your Majesty going back to the palace tonight?"
Mo Yufeng suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him without saying a word.
Luo Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What I mean is, the prince left all these beauties alone and actually wanted to go back to the palace. Is there something in the palace that the prince cares about?"
Mo Yufeng walked up to him and said coldly, "Why, do you mean that I should just spend every day in Weiyi Tower, intoxicated by the gentleness of life, and not take care of anything else?"
Luoye quickly lowered his head and answered respectfully, "Of course not! Luoye is just a little surprised. Since the prince is going back, then I should leave too!"
Mo Yufeng looked at him, said nothing, and turned away.
As soon as Mo Yufeng returned to the mansion, he called Hong Yi over and said, "Go and investigate immediately if there is a person named Luo Ye in Baihan Country! He looks quite elegant and wears white clothes!"
"Okay! Why is the prince investigating this person?"
"Nothing!" Mo Yufeng said coldly, then suddenly smiled again, "Interested!"
Hong Yi nodded and left.
The next day
"Your Highness, there is a person named Luoye in Baihan Country, but she is a woman who likes to wear white clothes. She is said to be very pretty, but I have never seen her appearance!" Hong Yi said to Mo Yufeng.
Mo Yufeng frowned. No, that person was obviously a man, how could he become a woman?
"I understand, please get out!"
"yes!"
After Hong Yi left, Mo Yufeng sat at the table, looking at the withered red spider lily in front of him, a look of worry crept up his brows.
Imperial Palace
The celebration banquet was originally supposed to be held when Mo Yufeng returned, but a concubine in the palace was about to give birth, so the banquet was postponed. It was not until today that there was an opportunity and time to hold it again.
Mo Yufeng sat diagonally across from Mo Yecheng, looking relaxed and drinking.
The hall slowly filled up with people. By the time someone around Mo Yecheng officially announced the start of the celebration banquet, Mo Yufeng had already drunk several pots of wine. Looking at the few people who had arrived late, Mo Yufeng stood up and laughed sarcastically, "This war, I have been fighting for two years, and I even put my arm into it. I thought that after the war was settled, the whole country would be stronger, but I didn't expect that there would be unrest within the country because of the war. These unrests could obviously be avoided, so why are there so many of them? Even if they can't be avoided, I still have to deal with small unrests. If I can't do such things, what's the point of living! There used to be so many people in the court who cared about national affairs and actively solved problems when they encountered them! Now that the world is united, they have become lazy and can't even bother to attend a celebration banquet like this! Royal brother, it seems that the court's salary is not high enough, and the ministers have no interest in it anymore!"
Mo Yecheng looked at him, understanding what he was trying to say. He spoke in a low voice to the court officials, "Although Yufeng's words may be a bit harsh, I agree with what he said. Is it because the court's salary is too low? So you've lost interest in anything you do?"
“…” No one spoke in the court, and there was silence.
Mo Yufeng sat down as if nothing had happened, and then said calmly, "Since we're celebrating, let's have fun! We can talk later if we have anything to say!"
Mo Yecheng sighed deeply, then bent down and picked up the wine glass. "Alright, let's toast to Yufeng's triumphant return and to the unification of the world!"
"Dry!"
"Brother Emperor, I haven't been to the palace for a long time. Can I go out and take a look at the palace?" Mo Yufeng stood up and asked.
In fact, he had been sitting here for too long and felt a little tired. He wanted to go out for a walk, and he had just drunk too much and felt that his stomach was already bloated!
Mo Yecheng was a little confused. This was just the beginning, and Bai Hanguo had not arrived yet. After all, Bai Hanguo was helping the most this time!
"Okay! But don't take too long!" Mo Yecheng agreed.
Mo Yufeng nodded and left.
After Mo Yufeng left, people in the hall started whispering. No one knew what they were talking about, and their eyes were wandering.
Mo Yufeng stretched lazily and stretched out his hand, but found that he only had one arm. He smiled bitterly, walked to a tree, took a look, jumped onto the tree, closed his eyes and rested.
Suddenly a breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of apricot blossoms, which smelled very nice.
"Who are you? Do you know where this is? How dare you break into the harem without permission?" A sharp voice sounded. Mo Yufeng frowned, opened his eyes, and looked under the tree.
