Mu Xi remained calm, sitting in his wheelchair and glancing at them, as if their words were nothing more than a passing breeze.
The foreigners exchanged glances, their interest waning, their eyes sweeping over Mu Xi's legs beneath his white robe.
"Hehe, the things we're discussing are things that Prince Mu will probably never experience in his lifetime."
"Hahahaha," several foreigners burst into laughter.
Xiao Wu's eyes instantly turned cold. Mu Xi glanced at them lightly and said indifferently, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. If we don't set off soon, we might have to wait a long time to see some of the sights in the Forbidden City."
Dou Shiliu, hiding in the shadows, heard everything perfectly. She felt that a simple case of venereal disease was too lenient on them.
Even the chilly March couldn't stop the people's industrious pace; Muxi led them on a tour of the Forbidden City.
Zero and An'er, who were hiding in the shadows, originally thought that this group of foreigners would humiliate Mu Xi, but apart from whistling at the girls by the roadside, they were able to remain relatively calm.
In the dim light, amidst the cries of vendors, the Forbidden City, vast and full of charm, held a captivating allure for foreigners gazing upon its buildings.
A place selling red hawthorns
"Daddy, I want to eat this," the little chubby finger pointed to the hawthorn wrapped in brown sugar, drool dripping from its lips.
"good"
The man handed the vendor a copper coin with his fair hand, and a string of bright red candied hawthorns ended up in the little child's hand.
"Thank you, Daddy," came the pure, childlike voice. The little boy was delighted and reached out his hand. The man picked him up and they left amidst laughter and joy.
Mu Xi stared intently from a short distance away, his eyes fixed on the candied hawthorn, but the rough laughter behind him made him look away.
"Hahaha, the gambling here is really interesting!"
Several foreigners came out of the gambling house laughing. Mu Xi and his group were just passing by, but they ended up going in.
He waited outside for a full half hour. Mu Xi's expression remained unchanged as he glanced at them indifferently and pursed his lips slightly: "Would you all like to go to the tavern now? I've heard that you all love to drink good wine."
"Alright, but we prefer places with good wine and beautiful women. I've heard there's a restaurant in the Forbidden City where beautiful women accompany us for singing and drinking."
Mu Xi lowered his eyes, and Xiao Wu whispered a few words in his ear. Mu Xi calmly raised his eyes and asked, "So, would you all like to go to Manhualou?"
The largest brothel in the Forbidden City
For a prince to take them to a brothel would probably make him a laughingstock for a thousand years.
"Manhualou, what kind of place is that?" asked a foreigner who clearly didn't know.
Mu Xi spoke calmly: "The brothel."
"Ha, Prince Mu, we are all upright officials, are you leading us astray?"
Muqi: "So, are you all going back to the palace? The palace is full of singing and dancing, which is much more eye-catching than what's outside."
He was starting to wonder why Mu Tuo couldn't beat this group of brainless idiots. They were so weak and pathetic.
Mu Tuo's eyes grew increasingly indifferent; he no longer wanted to pretend to be with them.
Dou Shiliu had just bought a string of candied hawthorns when he looked up again and found that Mu Tuo and the others were gone, leaving him a little confused.
How could those people have left so quickly? They were gone in the blink of an eye. That's strange.
Dou Shiliu received the candied hawthorn and followed Mu Xi's scent to find it.
It was found inside a brothel, but at the entrance.
"Are you all still going to come here?"
Mu Xi glanced at them indifferently.
"After all, it's one of the great features of your Forbidden City; Your Highness should come in with us."
"No, everyone, just enjoy yourselves. I won't join you any longer."
Xiao Wu pushed Mu Xi away from behind, and the foreigners behind them did not expect the prince to react this way.
However, this did not affect their mood for having fun, since the Emperor of Fengluo Kingdom was paying for all the bills here, so they had no reason to worry.
At a quiet bridgehead, the stream flowed in tiers below. Muxi looked down at it, and Xiao Wu placed him on it. Sensing his master's state, he left silently.
Muxi's amber-like pupils reflected the stream, where tiny fish fry swam, their heads touching briefly before quickly swimming away.
A cool droplet touched Mu Xi's face. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she reached out with an incredibly white hand to catch a raindrop, which trickled down her fingers, icy cold...
Muqi's eyelashes fluttered slightly. He liked rainy days and the sound of rain...
Xiao Wu was about to come out and push Mu Xi away when she saw a pink figure. Xiao Wu was slightly taken aback. Seeing that she had an umbrella in her hand, she hid in the shadows and did not move.
"Want some?" A string of candied hawthorns.
The bright red color was like a crystal-clear gemstone, and the hand holding the candied hawthorn stick was even whiter than the snow in January.
A strange glint flashed in Mu Xi's eyes, but he made no move.
Dou Shiliu, holding an umbrella, leaned forward in front of Muxi, her pink dress peeking out from Muxi's eyes, looking exceptionally light and graceful.
"My lord, please listen carefully. I'll hold this umbrella for you here."
The girl's clear voice rang in Muxi's ears, while the boy's amber eyes reflected in the stream, the calm surface rippling with waves just like his tranquil heart.
Mu Xi withdrew her hand from the rain and calmly said, "Xiao Wu."
"Yes, Master."
Let's go.
Xiao Wu suddenly stepped forward, took the umbrella from Dou Shiliu's hand, and pushed the boy away. Mu Xili ignored Dou Shiliu completely.
The string of candied hawthorns got soaked the moment the umbrella was moved aside. Dou Shiliu quickly put it away, but still got a few drops of rain on it.
Dou Shiliu's long hair was wet, and raindrops dripped from the tips of her long, thick eyelashes to the ground, wetting her embroidered shoes.
She thought Muxi would still listen to the rain, but she didn't expect him to leave. Dou Shiliu glanced at the sky, which was getting darker and darker, and felt a little depressed.
For several days, Mu Xi accompanied the foreigner, while Dou Shiliu followed him, but they were both ignored.
Dou Shiliu: "??"
Finally, after the foreigners left, Feng Luoguo breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that the group of people had incurred so many bills. Mu Tuo also secretly remembered the bills this time.
One day, Mu Tuo will crush his foreign land!
After completing his mission, Mu Xi naturally stayed in the Mu King's mansion as before, ignoring everything else and not bothering with anything else.
Under the trees in the mansion, on the stone table in the courtyard, servants always have tea and snacks ready.
Every time Dou Shiliu wanted to find Muxi, she could find him there. Muxi seemed to be living a carefree, idyllic life away from the world.
There was always an indescribable lingering feeling in his eyes, making Dou Shiliu always feel a little distant from him.
