Things change and people change

Although they usually did not deal with the third prince, as veterans in the officialdom, Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian still went up and bowed respectfully.

The third prince chuckled, nodded slightly, and turned his eyes to Murong Qing with great interest.

"Miss Murong, I saw your performance in the competition just now," the third prince said with a smile on his face, even a little distrustful. "As far as I can see, Miss Murong must be too modest, so

Just got the last place."

Murong Qing's attitude towards the third prince was not the same as towards Yan Jingtian and the others. He just smiled lightly and quickly saluted the third prince.

"The third prince is joking. My abilities are not as good as those of the other talents. I am the last one. God has favored me. I don't have such high ambitions." Murong Qing was very repelled by the third prince in his heart, but

On the surface, he still sounds very modest.

But the third prince ignored her at all, and still pressed forward and asked: "Miss Murong, you are a bit too modest. I saw all your performance just now, and paid special attention to it. I think you must be restraining yourself."

Talent, otherwise I will definitely win a championship."

"You guys can chat here for now. I have some things to deal with when I go over there." Yan Jingtian laughed twice, knowing that this was a matter between the two of them, so he didn't interfere and found an excuse to leave.

.

Pei Mo and Murong Qing didn't want to say anything more to the third prince, but they were a little embarrassed after being praised so highly by the third prince.

"Really, Third Prince, you are overthinking it. My ability is really limited, how can I compare with those talented people?" Murong Qing still managed to laugh, but found that both Pei Mo and himself were very embarrassed, only the Third Prince was there.

People don’t think so.

Several people gradually fell into silence, and people coming and going around them seemed unable to break the awkward atmosphere.

At this moment, Murong Qing accidentally saw Liu Qing passing by not far away, and raised her eyebrows.

"You two can chat here, I have to leave beforehand."

He himself felt embarrassed. He hadn't reminisced with Liu Qing for a long time, and Murong Qing just happened to be able to escape.

Pei Mo saw that he and the Third Prince were the only two people left now, and they had nothing in common to talk about, so he was ready to find an excuse to leave.

"Third Prince, since there's nothing else to do, I'll take my leave." He clasped his fists and prepared to leave.

"Hey," with a meaningful smile on his face, the third prince hurriedly took two steps forward and blocked Pei Mo's way, "General Pei, don't leave in a hurry. It's not easy for us to meet each other. Let's catch up on old times.

."

Pei Mo was stunned for a moment, wondering what the third prince's intention was, but he still smiled and said: "I don't know what the third prince's instructions are, but I am all ears."

The third prince had a smile on his face, leaned close to Pei Mo's ear, and laughed softly: "I heard that General Pei and the second prince are very close during this period. If you need any help, just tell me, my second brother and I

There is also a sense of brotherhood, and it is appropriate to help.”

Pei Mo's expression dulled for a moment, and then he put on a faint smile, his face full of calmness.

"Haha, the third prince is joking. This is just for the royal family. I will be willing to help any prince who needs it. Even if the third prince gives me a task, I will try my best to complete it." Pei

The righteous words Mo said left the third prince with no reason to refute.

But in fact, both of them knew very well that it was just some official words, and the third prince did not get anything out of him.

"Since General Pei said this, I can rest assured. With your words, I don't have to worry." A sinister smile flashed across the corner of the third prince's mouth, as if he was not particularly satisfied with Pei Mo's attitude.

"I hope General Pei will keep his word and not favor any prince when the time comes."

After saying that, he smiled coldly and turned around with his pair of followers.

Pei Mo stood there, and after sending the third prince away respectfully, he saw Yan Jingtian coming to him at some point.

"Hey, what did the third prince say to you just now?" Yan Jingtian raised his chin in the direction the third prince left.

Pei Mo smiled calmly and told Yan Jingtian the general content of the conversation between the two.

"I think the third prince is testing you," Yan Jingtian's expression became mysterious and he whispered into Pei Mo's ear, "The second prince and the third prince have been fighting for the right to inherit the throne during this period.

Everyone wants to win over all forces, and the third prince is testing you today."

Pei Mo smiled softly and did not comment.

And on the other side at this time.

"Snapped!"

Murong Qing was suddenly filled with anger and raised his arms, leaving five red marks on Liu Qing's face.

Liu Qing felt a burning pain on her face. She hurriedly covered her face with her hands and turned her body to the side, but did not fight back.

"Liu Qing, you really disappoint me now," Murong Qing was extremely angry. When he saw that the Lu Qing in front of him was no longer the same person he had known before, he felt regretful and angry. "Even if you are married to a third person now,

Prince, your status has been improved by more than one level, but you should understand that you should be yourself first."

Liu Qing was of a lowly status, but by marrying the third prince, she could be said to have reached the sky in one step. In the eyes of others, she was very envious.

But when Murong Qing chatted with Liu Qing this time, she discovered that she was no longer the kind and weak woman she was before.

"You actually tried to ask me to persuade Pei Mo. There is no condition to stand on the third prince's side. Do you know the consequences of doing so?"

No matter in every dynasty, the emperor hates the princes forming cliques for personal gain. If Pei Mo really did this, it would be a fatal disaster.

Liu Qing obviously knew this, but she still made such a request, which shows that her conscience has been lost.

Regardless of Murong Qing's objections, Liu Qing cried and begged again: "But if you don't do this, the Third Prince will magnify the fact that we married by the wrong people and insist on taking you back. Are you willing?"

Seeing that Liu Qing was stubborn and kept trying to convince herself, Murong Qing became even more angry and his face turned red with anger.

"Let me tell you Liu Qing, no matter whose idea this is, I want you to go back and tell the third prince that I will not let him succeed in these two things!"

Only then did Murong Qing realize that the Liu Qing in front of him was no longer the same person.

"It's true that things have changed and everything has changed. It seems that we don't have much to say between us anymore." Seeing the original innocent Liu Qing become like this, Murong Qing felt very complicated, a little regretful and a little sad.

angry.
