"Empress Yueyao?"
Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment. Although he felt a little guilty, he still defended Murong Xi fairly, saying, "Well... she is, after all, the ruler of a country. How can she be considered some kind of promiscuous woman?"
"snort!"
Su Mochen rolled his eyes at him: "As long as a woman is willing to follow you with her feet on the ground, even if she comes from a poor family, I won't say a word. But if she has any designs on you and wants to possess you, no matter if she is the Empress Yueyao or even a fairy from heaven, she is still a mess of a woman in my eyes!"
At this point, Su Mochen didn't forget to praise herself: "I am still the Princess of Anguo, so what? I would never demand that my man marry only me and abandon others, that would be too selfish!"
"..."
Jing Zhe chuckled twice and praised repeatedly, "My Mo Chen is the best!"
"That's right!"
Su Mochen pouted her proud little mouth, making one want to kiss her.
She then added, "However, there are some things I need to tell you upfront. I don't object to you being with Mu Qingren, Qiu Qianqian, or any other women in the future, but once they enter the family, they will all have to call me 'elder sister'!"
"..."
It seems that every woman harbors the desire to be a first wife.
Seeing that Jing Zhe remained silent, Su Mochen assumed he disagreed and immediately explained, "Don't think that just because they became your women before me, they can call me 'big brother'. Why don't they think about when they met you and when I met you? Just for that reason, they should call me 'big brother' too!"
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Jing Zhe first affirmed this, and then said, "But according to Mo Chen's logic, shouldn't Second Sister also call you Eldest Sister?"
After saying that, her eyes were somewhat playful, wanting to see how Su Mochen would respond. After all, Lu Li was the first person he knew, and she was the second. Zhu Xinning had to be ranked later.
"That's utter nonsense!"
Su Mochen knew Jing Zhe was teasing her, so she lightly tapped him before saying, "You've known seven older sisters since you were little, how could I have known them before my second sister?"
"Forehead…"
Jing Zhe suddenly realized what was happening and gave an awkward laugh.
He only thought about when he would meet her after time travel, and almost overlooked things from his childhood.
"Just kidding, Mo Chen!"
Su Mochen naturally knew this, and after saying a few words to him, she took his hand and said reluctantly, "You can't attend court for a while, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see you. I was hoping to go out and play with you! Who knew that Father would be so inconsiderate of you and even assign you a task? It seems I'll have to wait until after the New Year!"
Jing Zhe squeezed her hand and said deliberately, "I also want to be with Mo Chen. How about we postpone this mission?"
"Don't!"
Su Mochen quickly waved his hand: "A man should prioritize his career. Since Father has made the arrangements, you should go. You've already waited for more than a month, so a few more days won't make a difference!"
Seeing Jing Zhe nod, Su Mochen continued, "When Father Emperor left just now, he mentioned a mission outside the main hall. What kind of mission could there be outside the main hall? I'll take you out to have a look!"
There is indeed a mission outside the main hall, and it involves a living being!
Thinking of Murong Xi, Jing Zhe felt helpless.
Although he had his own thoughts, Jing Zhe knew that as long as she was still the Empress, the chasm between them could not be bridged. If something really happened between the two of them, it would become a diplomatic issue between the two countries. Murong Xi would demand people from Anguo in the name of Yueyao Kingdom, and Emperor Anguo would have no way to do anything about it.
In order not to embarrass everyone, Jing Zhe felt he had to control his lower body; he had acted recklessly yesterday.
Therefore, he dared not let Su Mochen see the "messy woman" she was talking about, and immediately explained with a smile: "Isn't the newspaper office just outside the main hall? And it's even outside the palace. What Your Majesty is referring to is the newspaper's mission!"
"Oh, I see. Then I'll see you out!"
After saying that, he made a move to pull Jing Zhe out.
Jing Zhe naturally couldn't let her leave; wouldn't she explode upon seeing Murong Xi?
"Why aren't you leaving?"
At this moment, Jing Zhe turned Su Mochen around by her shoulders, then cupped her head in his hands, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Mochen, seeing you, I don't want to leave now, and I don't want to do any more missions!"
Su Mochen's pretty face flushed red, and she was deeply moved. Her voice softened as she said, "Me too. I don't want to be separated from you for even a moment, which is why I thought of sending you out! But as I just said, Father values you so much. If you suddenly quit, not only will Father lose face, but what will the other ministers think of you? You should go!"
"All right!"
Jing Zhe reluctantly agreed, then said with reluctance, "However, Mo Chen, please don't go out to see me off, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and won't want to be separated from you!"
"Okay, then I won't go out to see you off!"
Although he didn't go out to see him off, Su Mochen felt warm inside, even happier than if he had seen him off.
"Okay, once I'm done with my work, I'll come and keep Mo Chen company every day!"
"Um."
Su Mochen sweetly agreed, then tiptoed and gave Jing Zhe a kiss on the lips, waving goodbye reluctantly as he left.
Jing Zhe reluctantly turned around and walked out of the council hall, only to find that his back was soaked with sweat: he was too nervous!
Su Mochen, still beaming with joy, emerged from the main entrance of the council hall and prepared to head towards Fuchen Palace.
"Royal Sister!"
Just then, Su Xiaoxiao's voice rang out from behind.
"Little one?"
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao running over breathlessly, Su Mochen asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, you're here early today. I thought you were sleeping in again. By the way, why did you run over from the front?"
Su Xiaoxiao came to Su Mochen's side, caught her breath, and then said mysteriously, "Royal sister, guess who I saw in front of the main hall?"
Seeing her mysterious expression, Su Mochen suddenly laughed: "It must be Jing Zhe, right?"
Thinking of Su Xiaoxiao's excited expression when she met Jing Zhe yesterday, Su Mochen knew the answer after a little thought.
To Su Xiaoxiao's surprise, she asked, "Jing Zhe? Did my royal sister see him? I couldn't find him?"
Su Xiaoxiao got up early today because she wanted to wait for Jing Zhe outside the main hall and ask him if there was anything going on between him and her royal sister!
Of course, if there was any reason, Su Xiaoxiao felt she should warn him. As for why she should warn him, she couldn't say, but she just felt that he was so bad, it wouldn't be right for him to be with her elder sister...
But she waited and waited, and even after the court session ended, Jing Zhe never appeared.
Didn't you see him go out?
Su Mochen was also taken aback: "Then who did you see that made you so surprised?"
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, then she suddenly realized something, as if she had discovered a huge secret: "Senior Sister, you would never guess that I saw Empress Yueyao outside the main hall, would you?"
"..."
