    Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Why not try it first? If my sister-in-law can accept it…

    Back at the inn, the guards were in the corridor entertaining Feng Yue’s son, being completely exhausted by the child’s energy.

    Seeing their Prince and Princess return, they breathed a sigh of relief, as if seeing a savior.

    “Princess, you’re finally back!” Wei Xiaofeng felt sorry and asked Sang Cai to give them some silver as a reward.

    The little son was too energetic, but Yun Yu Mu had a lot of patience. At this moment, he was leading the little son, giving him a wooden sword and teaching him swordsmanship.

    This child was so talented that no matter how difficult the moves were, he could perform them vividly after seeing them once.

    Now, Yun Yu Mu’s accomplishments in swordsmanship have improved a lot, and after learning the complete set of lost swordsmanship, he has gained a new understanding.

    “Little Prince, would you like to take me as your teacher?”

    Feng Yue’s son was too young to understand what it meant to take him as a teacher, staring at him blankly.

    Yun Yu Mu explained: “It means I will teach you swordsmanship, take you with me every day, play with your little wooden sword, and you call me ‘Master’.”

    “Master~” Unexpectedly, Feng Yue’s son blurted out at him.

    Yun Yu Mu was excited for a while, “Hahahaha… Good! Excellent! You call me ‘Master’, and Master will teach you everything I have learned in my life!”

    Feng Yue and Wei Xiaofeng were naturally happy to see Yun Yu Mu take Feng Yue’s son as his apprentice.

    After all, Feng Yue’s son will have the world’s number one swordsman as his master by his side in the future, which is an indestructible support.

    In a few days, they were about to leave Nan Zhao, hoping that A-Lan would have new progress.

    That night, Feng Xilan went back, tossing and turning and couldn’t fall asleep. He simply sat up, called Qingya, who was on night watch, and asked him to get some food and wine, and sat alone in the courtyard to enjoy the moon.

    Having been decadent for these years, he hadn’t had such clear thoughts for a long time.

    However, he was now worried about how to subvert Si Mo and use him for his own purpose.

    Before, he made things too stiff. If he rashly looked for him, it would definitely reveal his plans in his heart. Although Si Mo was a bastard and unreasonable, he was extremely smart.

    “Little Prince, it’s almost dawn, aren’t you sleepy yet?” Qingya yawned.

    “I’m sleepy, go to sleep.”

    The next day, Feng Xilan went to the kitchen in person and saw the new cook, who looked like a local and didn’t have anything suspicious about him.

    Seeing Feng Xilan, the cook gave him a blessing: “Princess, the kitchen is dirty and messy. If you want to eat something, just ask your servants to tell you. Why do you have to come here yourself?”

    Feng Xilan took two steps forward and whispered, “I want to know Si Mo’s recent whereabouts.”

    The cook smiled and said calmly: “This servant knows. Princess, go back first, and I will send you what you want to eat later.”

    Feng Xilan smiled lightly, “Thank you for your trouble.”

    The food was delivered quickly. It was a plate of new-style pastries, which were also made with thought.

    While eating the pastries, Feng Xilan found the message passed back from the pastries.

    There were only a few short words.

    ——Jinglan Pavilion, Library.

    Jinglan Pavilion was where the Old Princess Dowager lived. It was not far from the Prince’s Mansion, and it had the largest library in Dali.

    It wasn’t difficult to enter the library. After all, he was the Princess of the Prince’s Mansion, so it was normal to go in and look for some books.

    “Qingya.”

    “Yes!” Qingya pushed the door and walked in.

    “Prepare a carriage, I’m going to the Jinglan Pavilion library.”

    “What are you going to do there?” Their Little Prince never liked to read books.

    “I’m very bored and want to find some interesting books to pass the time.”

    It seemed that he was really bored to the extreme. It was a good thing to read more books, which could cultivate his sentiment.

    Qingya thought for a while and suggested, “Actually, if you can’t read books, you can also plant flowers and plants.”

    Feng Xilan glanced at him, “Too much talk! Just do what I tell you to do.”

    “Yes.” Qingya pursed his lips tightly and went out to prepare the carriage.

    In the afternoon, Feng Xilan took a carriage out of the Prince’s Mansion and came all the way to the Jinglan Courtyard library.

    The library had a librarian who was specially guarded. Anyone who entered or borrowed books would be recorded.

    Feng Xilan showed him his waist tag, and he let him into the library.

    Feng Xilan pretended to look for books, but after searching for a long time, he didn’t seem to want to borrow books.

    The librarian stepped forward and asked, “Princess, are you looking for a book? You might as well tell me, and I might be able to help you.”

    Feng Xilan: “I’m just bored and want to find some good-looking books.”

    “The first floor is full of essays and classics. Uh… the interesting books are on the second floor of the library. Please come with me.”

    “Thank you.”

    Feng Xilan followed the librarian up the stairs.

    “How many floors does your library have?”

    “Not high, only four floors.”

    Seeing that the librarian really wanted to recommend books to him, Feng Xilan gave him a piece of gold leaf. The librarian’s job was complicated and had no perks. Seeing that he took out a piece of gold leaf at once, he was overjoyed.

    “What are your orders, Princess?”

    “I want to look at it myself here. Don’t ask about it. If someone asks, you just say…”

    The librarian quickly interjected: “This servant will say that the Princess only borrowed a few notebooks, and spent some time on the first and second floors.”

    “You are quite quick-witted. You are someone who can accomplish things. Go stay somewhere else.”

    “Yes.”

    Feng Xilan continued up the stairs and saw Si Mo, who was forced to copy scriptures by the window, in the top floor’s cabinet.

    He saw him leaning lazily by the window, drawing a few turtles on the rice paper on the small table. The writing brush in his hand was about to dry up, so he just wasted time like this, neither resisting nor obeying.

    Hearing the sound of footsteps at the door, Si Mo said coldly: “Has no one told you that the top floor cannot be entered privately?”

    Si Mo was imprisoned in the library to copy scriptures. No one except the Si family knew about it. The Si family didn’t kill him, but slowly wore away his temper.

    “Sorry for the interruption, goodbye.” Feng Xilan pretended to turn around and leave. Si Mo heard his voice and suddenly stood up. He stood up too quickly, kicked the heavy rosewood table with one foot, and staggered forward a few steps. He flung the hairband in front of his eyes back and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

    “It’s you!”

    Feng Xilan’s palms were sweaty. He clearly wanted to escape, but he still had to pretend to be calm and face him, “I just accidentally broke into here. Why are you blocking my way?”

    “A-Lan, since you’re here, why not copy some books together?”

    Feng Xilan secretly rolled his eyes.

    “Ha, you don’t like copying books? How coincidental, I don’t like copying books either. Shall I teach you how to draw turtles?”

    Feng Xilan was speechless for a while. He thought he was a lion, but he turned out to be a fool.

    “If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your agreement!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Feng Xilan back to the table without any explanation, “Sit down, do you want to practice writing? I’ll grind the ink for you.”

    “No, thank you.”

    “Then I’ll write for you to see. Actually, my writing is very good.”

    Hehe, how good could a waste like this who doesn’t study at all write? Could he write better than him?

    Until Si Mo wrote a line of characters properly, Feng Xilan felt uncomfortable in his heart. Si Mo didn’t lie, he wrote very well, and his handwriting was better than his.

    But what was this writing…?

    ——You know that I have a husband, and you give me double pearls. I am grateful for your lingering love, and I tie them to my red silk skirt. My family’s tall buildings are connected to the courtyards, and my husband holds a halberd in the bright light. I know your intentions are like the sun and the moon, and I swear to live and die with my husband.

    Feng Xilan was so angry that he grabbed the paper and tore it to pieces, “What are you writing?”

    Si Mo: “I’m writing poetry!”

    He shouldn’t have come to see this bastard.

    “Lewd words!”

    “Tch~” Si Mo laughed, “This is not.”

    Saying that, he dipped in ink and quickly danced with his brush on the rice paper.

    ——We share light wine in front of others, and embrace soft jade by the lamp. Turning around and entering my arms is always affectionate, painful, painful, painful. Gently pushing the man away, I gradually heard the trembling sound, and a slight surprise of red surged…

    Before he could finish writing, Feng Xilan snatched the rice paper and crumpled it hard with a blushing face.

    “What are you doing with it? I haven’t finished writing yet! The back is more interesting.”

    “You beast, shut up!”

    “Try to be more frequent, with no gaps at all. This time the flavor becomes crazy, moving, moving, moving. Arms are intertwined, lips are pressed together, tongues are playing with each other.”

    Feng Xilan couldn’t stand him anymore, picked up the inkstone and smashed it at this person. He dodged extremely quickly, and the inkstone was thrown on the snow-white wall, leaving a few ink marks.

    “A-Lan, why are you so angry? It’s just a few lines of poetry. Nothing really happened.”

    If this rosewood was not too heavy, Feng Xilan would have overturned this desk.

    “You…you…” Feng Xilan felt that he was really stupid to come to this person. Yue-ge must have misjudged him. What could this thing accomplish?

    Seeing that he was really angry, Si Mo pursed his lips and stopped talking.

    Feng Xilan had already beaten him hard hundreds of times in his mind, “We don’t have the same interests, I’ll leave first.”

    He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would really lose control and hit someone.

    “You came to me just to leave in a huff?” Si Mo supported his cheek with a confident look.

    Feng Xilan really stopped, only to realize that from the moment he entered this place, he had been led by the nose by Si Mo.

    Too hateful!

    “What is Prince Si Mo saying? I don’t understand.”

    Si Mo smiled lightly, not afraid that he would ask for something, but afraid that he would not ask for something.

    “Prince Guangling came to you, what does he want to win me over to do? I’m a little curious!”

    Feng Xilan’s breathing stagnated, and he stared at Si Mo with wide eyes, “You guessed it?”

    “It’s not difficult to guess,” Si Mo sat up straight, rarely serious, and said solemnly: “But he is extremely selfish, and he may not be really considering you.”

    “I don’t care.”

    “Is that so? He asked you to find me and cooperate with me. Have you ever thought about what price you will have to pay?”

    Feng Xilan held his breath and stared at him without saying a word.

    Si Mo smiled evilly: “He is using you. When he ascends the throne, the problem of Nan Zhao will also be solved by the way. That’s amazing! I admire you!” After speaking, he clapped his hands jokingly.

    “Yue-ge won’t harm me.”

    Si Mo felt a surge of sourness in his chest and said sullenly: “Yes, he won’t harm you, but I will! Heh! You’re talking to me about conditions. What do you have to exchange with me? Apart from this body of yours, there’s nothing else!”

    Feng Xilan was still thinking about how to achieve his goal. Since he had already said it, he didn’t want to beat around the bush.

    He tore open his belt, and the brocade robe on his body slipped off, leaving only a thin cyan shirt. As if every step was on the tip of a knife, he walked towards Si Mo.

    Si Mo’s eyes were bloodshot and his breath was heavy, “What kind of ecstasy soup did Feng Yue give you? To make you do this?”

    “Because I have no choice. You, Si Ming, will not be my choice. The only person I can trust is him. Since you know this is a transaction, then the choice is yours. You take what you want, and I take what I want.”

    “What do you want?”

    “I want freedom.”

    “You’re lying!”

    Si Mo suddenly pulled him into his arms, turned over and pressed him on the desk. Feng Xilan’s heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to resist, but when he thought of why he came, he took back the strength he put on his shoulders.

    Si Mo pretended to lower his head to kiss him. Feng Xilan frowned tightly and disgustedly turned his face away. Si Mo’s heart felt like it had been gouged out, as if even breathing was painful.

    He doesn’t like him at all…

    “You can’t even stand my touch, how can you trade with me?”

    Seeing that Si Mo was about to get up, Feng Xilan desperately put his arms around his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and kissed his face indiscriminately. His soft lips landed on Si Mo’s chin, which made people even more upset.

    Si Mo looked at him forcing himself to this point, and felt very distressed. He already knew he was wrong, but that mistake was irreversible.

    No one had ever taught him how to win the heart of his beloved. He thought that possession would be enough.

    Obviously those people told him that occupying their bodies would make them wholeheartedly devoted.

    It turned out that it was different. They were only seeking a one-night stand, but he was seeking a sincere heart.

    Si Mo let him go, picked up the clothes on the ground, and threw them over his head, “I suddenly don’t like you being so active anymore.”

    Feng Xilan felt ashamed and annoyed, and couldn’t guess what this person was thinking at all, “What do you want?”

    “The spoils of war must be tasted and played with slowly. If I get it from the beginning, I won’t be interested.”

    How cheap! Feng Xilan cursed secretly in his heart and put on his clothes.

    “It’s not that I can’t make a deal with my sister-in-law. Since you said you want freedom, I will grant you. But I want to be the future king of Nan Zhao.”

    “What’s so difficult about that? If you become the king of Nan Zhao, wouldn’t that be legitimate? With Si Ming dead, you are the first in line to inherit.”

    Si Mo raised his eyebrows, “Are you willing to let Si Ming die?”

    Feng Xilan sneered: “You underestimate me too much. I did like Si Ming, but so what? It doesn’t stop me from wanting him to die. What kind of man can’t I, Feng Xilan, have? If I can’t get it, I don’t want it!”

    “Sister-in-law has such a cruel heart!”

    Feng Xilan rolled his eyes, pretending to be pretentious, pretentious! Extremely hypocritical!

    “But my deal may be a little difficult. I’m afraid my sister-in-law won’t be able to stand me. By then, she’ll break the alliance and kill me with one knife. I’m so scared!”

    “Are you afraid of me?” Feng Xilan sneered: “This is the funniest joke I’ve heard in the few years I’ve been in Nan Zhao.”

    “Then why not try it first? If my sister-in-law can accept it, we can trade again?”

    “Si Mo, don’t try to play any tricks!”

    “Sister-in-law is overthinking. I have a sincere heart for my sister-in-law. I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the gutter.” Saying that, he pressed his heart with a lot of drama: “My heart hurts so much.”

    Just thinking of him made his heart ache faintly, and it was already hopeless.

    Feng Xilan didn’t bother to look at him again, “I’ve been out for too long, I have to go back. I won’t accompany Prince Si Mo to act here.”
