Chapter 312 It is my great honor to know you
Jun Mo was very secretive and said, "There is no such good night-shining pearl in the palace!"
Yu Jiuer was no longer calm. The villain in her heart made her reluctant to let go of the night-shining pearl: "Your Highness, this is a gift from the Prime Minister. He will be sad if we don't accept it! Right? Prime Minister?"
Shang Buqun cooperated and said, "I never take back what I give away! This night-light pearl was obtained by Shang by chance. There is only one in the entire Dadong Dynasty! A one-of-a-kind gift for a one-of-a-kind person!"
"Your Highness, we are all family, so let's not be polite, right? If I take it back to Yinshan County, will I still need to light a lamp in my room? Won't I save all the kerosene in this life? Thank you, Prime Minister!" Yu Jiuer smiled from ear to ear, and took it with a clear conscience!
I was still thinking in my heart: I will keep this good one for myself first, and then tomorrow I will take some good things to exchange him for other night pearls to give to those killers!
Jun Mo looked at Yu Jiuer with eyes full of doting. He turned his head and gave a few instructions to Butler Feng before saying to Shang Buqun, "Thank you very much, Prime Minister, for giving up your love! Later, I will also give you a gift in return!"
Shang Buqun raised his glass to express his gratitude.
Yu Jiuer put down the night pearl, picked up the wine glass and said to Shang Buqun sincerely: "Shang Buqun, this glass of wine is for you! I am lucky to have a friend like you in the capital! I won't say any more sentimental words. If you need my help in this life, please don't be polite to me!"
"No problem!" Shang Buqun said succinctly, "For me, it is a great honor to know you!"
Jun Mo suppressed his surging jealousy and drank a glass of wine.
Yu Jiuer turned her head to comfort him, lifted Jun Mo's chin, and said in a frivolous tone: "Young lady, you are so beautiful, smile!"
Dressed in men's clothing and with a lewd look in her eyes, she looked like a hooligan molesting a decent woman at first glance.
Jun Mo played along with her, opening his mouth to reveal two neat rows of teeth.
“Hahaha…” The other people at the table burst into laughter.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
After eating and drinking, everyone started drinking tea and listening to opera.
Taking advantage of Jun Mo's absence, Shang Buqun sat over and said to Yu Jiuer, "The meal you prepared today is very much to my liking. Don't be stingy with your cooking skills. Tomorrow I will ask the cook in my house to come and learn from you!"
"No problem!" Yu Jiuer said with a smile, "However, there were a few dishes on the table just now, and I saw that you liked them very much. They were made by the Eighth Princess herself, not by me!"
"Oh!" Shang Buqun didn't say anything else, but his expression looked a little unhappy.
Yu Jiuer advised kindly: "Master Prime Minister is twenty-six years old, not young anymore, have you ever thought about marrying a beautiful woman to carry on the family line? If you miss out on it, it will be a lifetime thing, right?"
Shang Buqun stared at her and said meaningfully: "It is true that if you miss it, it will be a lifetime!"
Yu Jiuer rubbed her forehead and waved at him: "Listen to the opera!"
He deserves to live out his life alone!
At this time, the Eighth Princess brought the snacks she made and placed them on the table next to Shang Buqun with a smile on her face: "Master Prime Minister, try the osmanthus cake I made by myself! It's slightly salty, not sweet!"
But Shang Buqun ignored her good intentions and said sternly: "Eighth Princess, a princess should stay away from women. If you marry to Miaojiang and try to please others, it will not only bring shame to the Great Dong Dynasty, but also make things very difficult for you! Take care of yourself!"
These words were a bit harsh. The Eighth Princess lowered her eyes and resisted the urge to cry. She nodded and whispered, "The Prime Minister is right!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and trotted away.
Yu Jiuer was furious: "Shang Buqun, you don't have to be so obvious about not accepting some good intentions, right? She is a little girl with amorous feelings, and she is about to shoulder the heavy responsibility of going to another country to fight for peace for the people. Can't you let her leave without any regrets?"
Shang Buqun looked at Yu Jiuer with anger and said in a cold tone: "Yu Jiuer, you are a third place winner after all. Don't you understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you? Do you have to make me break the window paper? Don't we even have the right to be friends?"
Yu Jiuer bit her lip, feeling powerless: "What a twist of fate! I just hope you can make her feel less regretful!"
"Once people's hearts are satisfied, they will want to take a step further. Her marriage to Miaojiang is a foregone conclusion. If you don't cut the Gordian knot quickly, how can you let her settle down in a foreign country?" Shang Buqun sighed, "I can't help her!"
Yu Jiuer was speechless. It turned out that as smart as he was, he had already seen through the Eighth Princess's feelings for him!
"I'll go see her!" Yu Jiuer said and got up to look for the Eighth Princess. She heard Liu Qingyun singing "Romance of the West Chamber" on the stage: "Flowers fall and water flows red, I have a myriad of idle worries, and I can't blame the east wind.
The east wind sways the willows, the loose threads attract the peach blossoms, and the pearl curtain hides the lotus face.
My hungry eyes are almost worn out, my greedy mouth is drooling in vain, I am sick with longing for him, how can I bear his glances before he leaves. Don’t say I am a young man, even if I am a stone-hearted person, I will still be moved by love…”
These heartfelt lyrics struck Yu Jiuer's heart like a hammer.
What is love in this world? It makes people follow each other through life and death!
Yu Jiuer was glad that she met someone she liked and who also liked her.
Not long after, Jun Mo came back and handed Shang Buqun a box: "This is for the Prime Minister!"
Shang Buqun took it with shaking hands: "This is an ancient artifact, are you sure you want to give it to me?"
"It's useless to keep it in the house, so I'll give it to you to play with!" Jun Mo looked indifferent.
Shang Buqun took out the exquisitely crafted sword, slowly stroked the hilt, and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the famous Qingtian Sword. Just by touching the hilt, I can feel the sharpness of the blade!"
He drew out his sword with a clang. In an instant, the rays of the setting sun shone on the sword, and the reflected light blinded everyone's eyes.
"What a great sword!" Shang Buqun was so excited that he was shaking all over. He looked at Jun Mo and said excitedly, "Shall we spar with each other?"
Jun Mo made a gesture of invitation to him.
Then, Yu Jiuer, who was still comforting the Eighth Princess in the hall, suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing and excited cheers coming from not far away.
"Are the four great guards all bored? We have guests coming today, and yet they are practicing martial arts and making noise in the bamboo forest?" Yu Jiuer looked displeased.
Green Sleeve shook her head and replied, "Princess, they are not practicing martial arts. It is the prince and the Prime Minister who are sparring in the bamboo forest. The four guards and others are there to join in the fun."
Yu Jiuer laughed: "Oh! When did they become so close? It's rare for them to have such a refined mood, but if the emperor knew about this, the Prime Minister would be in big trouble!"
Green Sleeves covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Don't worry, Princess. They are all wearing women's clothes. The two beauties competing in the bamboo forest are extremely beautiful!"
"This is a rare spectacle that only happens once in a century!" Yu Jiuer held up the Eighth Princess's face, wiped away her tears, and asked her seriously,
"You made a wish list of the last four items: 'cook him a meal with your own hands; feed him a bite of your own food with your own hands; drink tea and watch opera with him; express your feelings to him'. You are just missing the last item. Are you really not going to express your feelings to him?"
The Eighth Princess shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Didn't you say that he actually knew it in his heart? Why should I say it out loud and make both of us embarrassed? Just consider it as I have already expressed my feelings to him!
"Shall we go watch their fight? I don't want to miss anything he does. Everything today will be enough for me to savor for the rest of my life!"
The Eighth Princess sniffed, gathered her spirits and walked towards the bamboo forest...
Just when Yu Jiuer was feeling sorry for the Eighth Princess and Shang Buqun, the Emperor issued an imperial decree to them, which made the Eighth Princess, Shang Buqun, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo all furious.
