Chapter 883 Meeting on the Road

Chang Yongbo was worried that his son would lose his composure in front of the Queen, so he asked him to be more humble. However, Mo Xingzhou was very confident in himself, with the spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Tao Yanyan raised his eyebrows and looked at the unbridled young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a bit more favorable towards him.

"Indeed, you've joined the army to serve your country. You have great ambitions." Tao Yanyan praised him, "Don't worry too much, Lord Chang Yong. You should support your son's ambitions."

Chang Yongbo was finally relieved when he saw that the Queen Mother not only did not think her son was showing off, but instead praised him.

Tao Yanyan invited Ningyuan Hou and Changyong Bo, father and son, to have lunch in the palace, but Ningyuan Hou politely declined. Seeing that his niece was still exhausted, he could not delay her rest any longer, so he brought his men to kneel down and pay their respects. After leaving the palace, he invited Ningyuan Hou and his son to have dinner at Sihai Restaurant alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went upstairs, I saw the person I didn't want to see - King Ning of Xia.

Now that Prince Ning had chosen Yan State as his backup, he was no longer concerned about how to marry the Princess of Zhou. Instead, he had more energy and time to wander around.

I've been to red-light districts, teahouses and theaters, and scenic spots around the capital. Now I'm focused on exploring and eating the delicious food of the Great Zhou.

He never looks at the price when eating, nor does he care whether he can finish the food. He just orders all the signature dishes as soon as they come up, and his wastefulness is shocking.

However, all restaurants welcome such guests. Once they come, they are treated like fat sheep and are treated very attentively.

As soon as Mo Xingzhou and Prince Ning met, the atmosphere between them became tense. Prince Ning had brought a large entourage with him today, while the other party only had three people. He wanted to regain the face he had lost at the flower viewing banquet that day.

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that I have to avenge myself today!" Prince Ning raised his hand, and the attendants behind him were ready to rush forward and teach this young man who dared to hit their prince a lesson.

Ning Yuanhou stepped forward, his brows furrowed, "What? Prince Ning is trying to stir up trouble in my Great Zhou? It seems Prince Ning doesn't want to return to Xia Kingdom so smoothly."

King Ning did not know Marquis Ningyuan, but from the man's clothing and demeanor, he guessed that this person's status should be higher than that of Uncle Changyong and his son behind him.

Moreover, this person spoke in a forceful voice, and his words contained a hint of threat, so that King Ning did not dare to order his men to charge forward for a moment.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you? I have a dispute with the boy behind you. Please move aside. Today I want to settle things between him and me."

Ning Yuan Hou snorted coldly: "I am Ning Yuan Hou, and I know very well how the feud between you two started!"

Prince Ning frowned tightly. Before coming, his uncle had briefed him on several major and powerful figures in the Great Zhou. He naturally knew that Marquis Ningyuan was the uncle of the current Queen Tao, and his son was Gu Yi, the famous general of the Great Zhou.

If it is related to Queen Tao, then it has something to do with the eldest princess He Xuan, after all, He Xuan is Queen Tao's adopted daughter.

Feeling apprehensive, King Ning waved his hand, and the attendants behind him immediately retreated.

"You are lucky today. Let's see what happens." King Ning gritted his teeth and walked away with his men without further entanglement with Ning Yuanhou and the other two.

"Hmph, if you ask me, I should beat him up every time I see him." Mo Xingzhou said angrily.

"Alright! You keep fighting all day long. You should learn from your brother, be more calm, and don't always use fists to solve problems. I've taught you to read sage books for more than ten years, can't you just talk some sense first?" Chang Yongbo was still a little frightened when he saw Prince Ning and his entourage leaving.

This son was born in his old age. The eldest son is already in his thirties, and the second son is only fifteen. He is almost fifty years old. Sometimes it is really annoying to talk to this son.

Ning Yuanhou admired Mo Xingzhou very much and patted him on the shoulder. "Your idea is very good. This Marquis really wants to see him beat him up once and for all. Who told him to bully the eldest princess? But there must be a reason to teach someone a lesson. You already taught him a lesson the last time he caused trouble. If you want to teach him a lesson again, you have to wait until he causes trouble again."

Mo Xingzhou smiled brightly, "Okay, I'll take note. If I run into him messing with our Great Zhou people again, I'll beat him to a pulp."

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, why are you..." Uncle Chang Yong really didn't know what to say. He always felt that his son was only brave but brainless.

Ning Yuanhou smiled and said, "Uncle Chang Yong, don't worry. Xingzhou is a straightforward child. He doesn't cause trouble, but he is not afraid of trouble either. I admire him very much." Compared with the two sons in the family who only know how to cause trouble but are not afraid to take responsibility, Ning Yuanhou really admires Mo Xingzhou.

Chang Yongbo was speechless. He sighed and followed the Ningyuan Marquis into the private room. When Shopkeeper Fang saw the Marquis approaching, he immediately came to greet him. Soon, the food and wine were on the table. Mo Xingzhou was still a teenager, and his family had a strict upbringing that prohibited him from drinking. Therefore, he was responsible for pouring wine for the two elders and serving the main dishes.

He Xuan, upon learning that Queen Tao's mother had met Uncle Chang Yong and his son today, shyly wanted to ask about the situation, but she wandered outside the door for a long time without stepping into the house.

Qingfeng found the eldest princess's shy look a little funny. After seeing her lingering outside the door for a long time, he could no longer bear it and dragged her into the house.

"Oh, Aunt Qingfeng, don't pull me. I'm not here to find my mother." He Xuan's face flushed and she struggled to escape.

"Princess, you've been standing outside for a long time. If you're not here to see the Queen, are you here just to be a nuisance? Well, if you have anything to say, just go and tell the Queen. She will help you solve any problem you encounter."

He Xuan had no choice but to be dragged in front of Tao Yanyan.

"Mother, Mother, how are you feeling today?" He Xuan stammered. Tao Yanyan thought she wanted to examine him, so he stretched out his arm and said, "Come and take a look. This little thing is really driving me crazy."

He Xuan glanced at Qingfeng and walked forward politely to take Tao Yanyan's pulse.

"Mother, you've been tired today. You went to the Qinzheng Palace. Plus, you didn't eat much, so you might be a little weak. You should eat small meals frequently to replenish your body."

Tao Yanyan also knew that she couldn't eat anything now. It was impossible to eat normally. She could still eat a bite every now and then. It was just because of morning sickness that she couldn't eat anything.

"Don't worry, mother. You're in good health, and your pulse is strong. You'll recover if you continue to nourish yourself." He Xuan lowered Tao Yanyan's sleeve, coughed lightly, and said, "But mother did go to the Qinzheng Palace for quite a while today. Did she talk a lot with the people from the Changyong Earl's Mansion?"

Tao Yanyan changed his position and lay down again. When he heard He Xuan's question, he curled his lips and said, "I didn't say much. I just wanted to understand Mo Xingzhou's plans for the future."
