Jun Moxie stared at the white figure and his expression became serious.
“Stop.”
Xu Jinyi stood in front of Jun Moxie: "Your Highness, I can really protect myself. Please let me go."
Jun Moxie remained silent, staring at Xu Jinyi's childish face before saying, "Who are you?"
"Your Highness suspects me?" Xu Jinyi asked.
"You are both talented in literature and martial arts. Whether you are taking the imperial examinations or wandering the martial arts world, you can achieve great things. Why do you want to be a mere servant?"
Xu Jinyi looked directly at Jun Moxie with a frank gaze, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Your Highness, you only need to know that I am someone you can trust. Everyone in the world may betray you or frame you, but I will never do that."
Jun Moxie was stunned, and a warm feeling flashed through his heart: "Why?"
"To repay the kindness of one of the people Your Highness has helped, I would risk my life for Your Highness."
For some reason, Jun Moxie inexplicably believed what she said.
Jun Moxie's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xu Jinyi.
"You can go with me on the trip to Jiangnan."
Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Jun Moxie rubbed her head and said, "Let's have dinner together."
Thinking of the bear paw meat he had eaten at noon today, Xu Jinyi's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and followed Jun Moxie.
Wang Shun was startled, and looked at Xu Jinyi with even more respect.
The two of them sat opposite each other, with Wang Shun standing in the middle serving them food. Just as the meal began, Jun Moxie raised his hand to let him go.
Then he personally picked up a piece of bear paw meat and gave it to Xu Jinyi.
Looking at Xu Jinyi, who was eating contentedly with his eyes narrowed and a look of enjoyment on his face, Jun Moxie curled his lips and smiled.
He picked up a piece of bear paw meat for her and even poured her a glass of wine himself.
This gave Xu Jinyi a misconception, and she looked at Jun Moxie suspiciously: "Your Highness, are you taking care of me like a child?"
Jun Moxie laughed: "Aren't you just a child?"
Xu Jinyi was speechless: "I'm already fifteen and a half years old."
"He's still a child. Eat more meat and grow up."
Xu Jinyi pursed his lips childishly, seeming dissatisfied.
Then he picked up the wine and took a small sip. He thought the wine was very strong, but it turned out to be sweet and had a long aftertaste.
Her eyes lit up slightly, she took another sip, and licked her pink lips with her pink tongue.
She already had a delicate face, and this action was very attractive, causing Jun Moxie to sigh again.
Fortunately it was a boy, or if it was a girl, I’m afraid I would have seduced countless men.
Picking up the wine glass, Jun Moxie also drank a glass of wine.
"The wine tastes so good. I thought it would be very strong." Xu Jinyi picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for Jun Moxie before taking his own turn.
"This wine has a strong aftereffect. Don't drink too much, or you'll feel sick to your stomach."
"No way, how can such sweet wine be intoxicating? Your Highness, let's drink a toast."
After two glasses of wine, Xu Jinyi's cheeks turned red and her eyes became a little blurry. When she looked at Jun Moxie in front of her, she saw several overlapping shadows.
Standing up, Xu Jinyi felt a little dizzy and pouted, "Your Highness? Why are there so many Your Highnesses?"
Xu Jinyi suddenly grabbed Jun Moxie's face and said accusingly, "Your Highness...don't move. You're making me dizzy and uncomfortable."
Jun Moxie was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Jinyi to have such a low alcohol tolerance.
Although this wine has a strong aftertaste, it won't make you drunk after just two glasses.
Seeing the little head shaking, Jun Moxie chuckled, "You still say you're not a child, but you get drunk after just two glasses of wine. You're really useless."
"Who... who said I was drunk? I can still drink." Xu Jinyi picked up Jun Moxie's wine glass and drank the third glass in one gulp.
Jun Moxie stared at that face and watched her drink the wine from her own glass. His eyes darkened, without any dissatisfaction.
Wang Shun, who was standing aside, was shocked. He had followed the Third Prince for many years and naturally knew that the Third Prince was a bit of a germaphobe.
Even when I go out to a restaurant to eat, I always bring my own special bowls and chopsticks.
Just when I was thinking about going forward to change the wine glass, I saw Jun Moxie waved his hand and didn't say anything.
I don’t know if it was because of the glass of wine or the mouthful of food, but Xu Jinyi just felt very uncomfortable in his stomach.
I feel like I can vomit as soon as I open my mouth, and it's so uncomfortable.
Suddenly he pushed Jun Moxie away and started vomiting.
The corners of her eyes were red and her eye sockets were moist, she looked so pitiful.
Not only did Jun Moxie not despise her, he even took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.
"Can you still drink?" The tone was intimate and teasing.
"Wait until I grow up before drinking." After saying that, Xu Jinyi lay on Jun Moxie.
Jun Moxie couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud.
Wang Shun stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let me help Mr. Mo go down and rest."
"No need, let him rest here."
I don’t know if it’s because of his love for talent or because of what she said, but Jun Moxie has a much better impression of Xu Jinyi.
He picked the man up and put him on his bed, and even helped him make the quilt.
——
The journey south is long and it is still winter, so Jun Moxie thoughtfully arranged a carriage for him and Xu Jinyi to ride in.
Xu Jinyi thought something might happen on the road and was always on guard, after all, they had left the capital.
Those people will not miss this good opportunity.
But everything went smoothly along the way and they arrived safely in Jiangnan.
Flood control is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but with Jun Moxie supervising, things are progressing smoothly.
Back in the capital, the atmosphere in the Xu family hall was gloomy.
"Mom, what should I do? The day for exchanging positions with Marquis Jing'an is coming soon. Where on earth is Xu Jinyi?"
"Is she really not planning to come back? What should I do then?" Xu Zhiwei asked anxiously.
Xu's mother also had a look of worry between her brows: "Where can she go with no money? If I had known it would be like this, I would not have let her leave."
"I originally wanted to let her suffer a little outside so that she would know how good our Marquis' Mansion is and that she would be obedient in the future."
Xu Zhiwei twirled her handkerchief. "What should we do now? We can't find her even if we search the entire capital."
"If I can't find her, do I have to marry that philandering prince?"
"No, my son is going to be the queen. Master Kunwu said that my daughter was born with the destiny of a phoenix. How can she marry that prince?" Mother Xu was the first to object, her tone dissatisfied.
Father Xu pondered for a moment and said gloomily, "Taking the initiative to cancel the engagement will definitely anger the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. This is not a wise choice. However, if we let them cancel the engagement themselves, it will be easier."
Xu Zhiwei's eyes lit up. "Dad, then I'll pretend to be sick and say I haven't spoken since falling into the water, or even that I'm dying. What do you think of this method?"
