The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 416

Mo Shaoxie gently took out a delicate handkerchief, his movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a precious piece of porcelain. He carefully wiped the oil stains from Shangguan Ziling's mouth and hands, and every subtle movement revealed his deep concern and care.

Shangguan Ziling sat there quietly, enjoying Mo Shaoxie's gentle care. She closed her eyes, letting his hands move gently on her face, feeling the warmth and peace of mind from the bottom of her heart.

Outside the tent, there were laughter and cheers, as if the whole city was celebrating the victory of the war. The cheers, laughter and applause of the people intertwined to form a beautiful movement.

Shangguan Ziling also felt the joy and celebration. She opened her eyes and looked at Mo Shaoxie, her eyes full of love.

As the night fell and the stars dotted the sky, a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere enveloped the military camp. In the tent, the warm yellow candlelight flickered, adding a bit of warmth to the cold night.

Mo Shaoxie hugged her, his eyes were as deep as the sea. He gently stretched out his hand, covered the back of her hand, and gently stroked it.

Shangguan Ziling raised her head, looked at him, and said slowly: "Mo Shaoxie, let's go out and take a look too."

Mo Shaoxie said lovingly, "Okay."

The two walked out of the tent and came to the open space, where the lights were bright and the bonfire was burning, adding a bit of warmth to this cold night.

Many soldiers gathered around the campfire, roasting game with smiles on their faces and laughing.

Bei Suqi walked over, his eyes moving between Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling, as if he was looking at something. He looked at Mo Shaoxie who was holding Shangguan Ziling's hand with curiosity.

"Cousin." Bei Suqi called softly.

Shangguan Ziling turned around, looked at him, and smiled: "Second cousin."

Bei Suqi nodded, and his gaze fell on Mo Shaoxie again: "This is the Regent of the Dongyue Dynasty. The Regent is indeed extraordinary."

Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows and said: "You're welcome! Thank you, Prince Li, for escorting Ling'er here."

Bei Suqi was stunned, "You know me?"

In the light of the bonfire, the three figures were stretched out, and their conversations and laughter echoed in the night sky, as if they had become a warm landscape in this cold night.

These days, Mo Shaoxie has been accompanying Shangguan Ziling to travel around the city.

They strolled along the bustling streets, admiring the various shops and stalls, tasting various delicacies, and enjoying this rare leisure time.

Shangguan Ziling's face is always filled with a happy smile, and Mo Shaoxie looks at her with eyes full of doting, as if the whole world exists only for her.

After waiting for ten days, the envoy from Xiliang finally arrived in the city with a letter of surrender.

Mo Shaoxie took the letter of surrender, read its contents carefully, and a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

So he asked General Qingwu to bring the Xiliang envoys back to the Dongyue Dynasty and have the emperor sign the letter of surrender.

General Wu continued to stay at the border to ensure stability.

After dealing with these matters, Mo Shaoxie took Shangguan Ziling on the way back. They were not in a hurry to get going, but leisurely enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Mo Shaoxie knew that Shangguan Ziling was pregnant and needed adequate rest and care. He didn't want her to get hurt or tired.

They arrived at Rongcheng, which was not affected by the war, and the people lived in harmony and happiness. Shangguan Ziling and his group stopped in Rongcheng.

Rongcheng, a small city surrounded by mountains, is like a pearl inlaid in the green land.

The streets in the city are clean and tidy, and the shops on both sides are full of dazzling goods, and all kinds of goods attract passers-by to stop and watch. In the streets and alleys, children chase and play, and laughter comes one after another; the elderly sit under the shade of the trees, leisurely chatting about family matters, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Shangguan Ziling and his group walked on the street, feeling this strange yet friendly atmosphere.

They came from the battlefield on the border, which was full of smoke and killing, but here was a peaceful and tranquil scene. They couldn't help but slow down their pace, wanting to appreciate this rare tranquility.

In a teahouse, they sat down to taste the local specialty tea. The tea was fragrant and sweet, as if it could wash away the fatigue and dust in their hearts.

Shangguan Ziling sat in an elegant wing room, with a bustling street view outside the window, but her eyes fell on the storyteller in the middle of the hall. The storyteller was dressed in a green shirt, holding a folding fan, and was eloquently telling the story of how the Regent King Mo Shaoxie was brave and invincible on the battlefield.

The storyteller's voice was ups and downs, sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and tragic, as if presenting the cruelty and bravery of the war to everyone.

His expression was vivid and exaggerated. Sometimes his brows were furrowed, sometimes he looked happy, and he described every detail with saliva flying.

Qiu Kui stood beside Shangguan Ziling, listening to the storyteller's narration. She couldn't help curling her lips and whispered, "Princess, this storyteller is really exaggerating. He even said that our prince has become an immortal."

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly, picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. She did not directly refute Qiu Kui's words, but looked at the storyteller thoughtfully, "The storyteller exaggerated a bit," Shangguan Ziling finally said, "but our prince is really brave and extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Kui said, “In the princess’ heart, the prince must be very good.”

Shangguan Ziling gently put down the teacup, looked at the bustling streets outside the window, and said slowly: "Well, that's natural."

Okra covered his mouth and laughed.

Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling's hand.

At this point, the storyteller's narration had reached its climax. He danced with joy as he described how the prince defeated the enemy single-handedly and how he stood up at the critical moment of life and death and saved the entire battle.

Although these words sounded a bit exaggerated, in Shangguan Ziling's heart, she seemed to see the brave and fearless figure of the prince.

Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie, "Is it dangerous?"

Mo Shaoxie said in a low voice: "It's a bit exaggerated."

Shangguan Ziling knew that the storyteller was exaggerating a bit, but it was really dangerous at that time. She felt a little distressed when she looked at Mo Shaoxie.

"Ling'er, it's over."

"Ok!"

As the storyteller finished his narration, warm applause broke out in the hall.

Bei Suqi put down the teacup and said, "Cousin, I'm not in a hurry to go back now, so I'll go with you."

"Okay, second cousin, then come with us and see the scenery of the Dongyue Dynasty," Shangguan Ziling said with a smile.
