The Second Prince's Mansion.

Ye Min stood outside the door and knocked lightly, calling Mo Yanchi to get up.

Mo Yanchi didn't have to go to court, usually he didn't get up so early, and yesterday he was a little late, and today he slept until noon and didn't show any signs of getting up.Ye Min was worried that he would starve, so he knocked on the door after a while.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince was annoyed by the knocking, turned over and got up, and sat quietly on the couch in a daze.Ye Min heard the movement and immediately ordered someone to prepare lunch.

"Your Highness, hurry up and eat, don't starve to death." Ye Min helped the man to the table, while laying out the vegetables, he muttered.

The sleepy man nodded perfunctorily, picked up his chopsticks and ate slowly.Ye Min knew that he didn't like people standing by and watching, so he waved his hand to let the others back down, and he waited on him alone.

After taking two bites, the half-closed window suddenly opened, the two turned their heads to look, and a figure broke in.

Xiao Zhi didn't know how much his behavior attracted attention, seeing that Mo Yichi was eating, he said, "I'm eating, I happen to have nothing to eat, would you mind adding one?"

Mo Yanchi and Ye Min: "..."

Ye Min didn't know the relationship between him and Mo Yichi yet, seeing this person right now, he was extremely shocked, and pointed at him tremblingly. "you you……"

As early as the previous few times, Xiao Zhijin knew that Ye Min was the only trustworthy person around Mo Yanchi, so he just dared to barge in directly. He walked over and patted Ye Min on the shoulder, saying: "Give me another I'll serve the table."

"No, why did you come here?" Ye Min was startled, suddenly realized something, hurried out of the house, and sent everyone away.

Mo Yanchi was also a little surprised: "Why are you here, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Although a lot of people were cleaned up last time, the First Prince and Concubine Jing are not stupid, so it is naturally impossible to just install an eyeliner, and Mo Yanchi is also having a headache for these two days.

Xiao Zhijin didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's nothing, if you find out, you will find out. If they dare to spread the news, I will dare to let them stay here."

"..." Mo Yanchi seemed to know something, "It turns out that there are people from you in my house."

"Naturally." Xiao Zhijin said lightly, "Don't worry, my people are absolutely fine."

Ye Min brought bowls and chopsticks from the dining room, handed them to Xiao Zhijin after adding more food, and then ran out to guard the gate.Although it is not clear why Xiao Zhijin came here, but at least he is a number one scholar with a bright future, and it is beneficial and harmless to make friends with Mo Yanchi.

"It doesn't matter if there are problems, there are not many people around my second prince's residence." Mo Yanchi shrugged indifferently, put down the empty bowl in his hand, got up and walked around to the back.

Xiao Zhijin had another plan. He looked at Ye Min who was sending people away outside, and said to Mo Yanchi: "I can help you deal with them, Zhu Qiming knows that Wei Ling will be your man , naturally I won't move you easily."

"What?" Not long after Mo Yanchi got up, before he put on his normal clothes, he walked around behind the screen to change his clothes, and just after taking them off, he could faintly hear Xiao Zhijin's thoughts, and couldn't hear clearly, so he took them Clothes come out.

"I said..." Xiao Zhijin stopped speaking abruptly as soon as he turned his head, and saw that the young man was slender and fair-skinned, and he looked extraordinarily thin as he pulled his skin that was almost bone-deep with the movement of dressing.

Xiao Zhijin walked over in silence, reaching out his hand to touch Mo Yichi's back, he traced the new or old scars, feeling extremely distressed, "Why are there so many wounds?"

Mo Yanchi didn't know that Xiao Zhi had some unspoken feelings towards him, and felt that being touched was very weird, so he turned around and slapped away the mischievous hand, and put on the clothes that Ye Min had prepared earlier. , as if nothing had happened: "It's not thanks to Zhu Qiming."

"If someone punishes you again in the future, just leave, don't just stand there and be punished." Xiao Zhizhi said.

Mo Yanchi smiled helplessly: "How could they be so self-willed, people in the palace can't help themselves... Sometimes being punished once can save a life instead."

Xiao Zhi tried his best to pull out the Du Ming that he was wearing around his neck, and said with anger in his tone, "This is for you to save your life! You think I came here from thousands of miles to give you Du Ming for fun. ?"

Mo Yanchi could feel the faint anger in Xiao Zhijin's eyes. He didn't want to argue with others, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Xiao Zhijin, this life is worth having as a brother like you."

"..." He doesn't want to be a brother...

Perhaps his eyes were full of resentment, and Mo Yanchi was stared at so that his heart was frightened, so he asked without knowing, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhijin shook his head, sat back at the dining table, and stopped talking to the person in front of him.

Mo Yichi only thought that he was hungry, and didn't take it seriously, he walked over and sat aside, seeing Xiao Zhijin pick up the bowl and chopsticks to eat well, he didn't bother him.But Ye Min who was outside the door rushed in and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here."

Eunuch Li is a person close to Emperor Hongzhi, and he has won the trust of Emperor Hongzhi. He usually lives in the deep palace for a long time, and he will only show up in the palace when he conveys some important orders.

Mo Yichi asked Xiao Zhijin to leave after eating, straightened his clothes and walked to the front hall with Ye Min.

Eunuch Li was standing on one side in an orderly manner, waiting for Mo Yanchi to come.People in the palace have always followed suit, and would not even give a single look to those who are not favored, but this father-in-law is different, he treats everyone equally, which is why he is respected as an eunuch.

After Mo Yanchi entered the palace, he took care of him a lot. Now that he saw someone, he hurried over and said, "Why did the eunuch come in person? Are you all dead? Show the eunuch some tea!"

The servants who bowed their heads hurriedly retreated to make tea.

Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't be so busy, our family came here with an imperial decree."

Mo Yanchi's expression froze, and he led all the servants to kneel down.

Eunuch Li unfolded the bright yellow imperial decree, and said loudly: "By the heavens, the emperor, the imperial edict said: The second prince has extraordinary qualifications and intelligence, and he will go to court tomorrow to share the worries of the society. I respect you."

Mo Yanchi listened in a daze, knelt on the ground and even forgot to accept the imperial edict.

Eunuch Li reminded: "Your Highness, accept the order."

Ye Min was overjoyed, and pushed the master beside him, and Mo Yichi finally came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to hold the weighty imperial edict, and said in a hoarse voice, "I accept the edict."

Eunuch Li helped him up, and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Your Highness. Your Highness can be counted so that the clouds will open and the moon will be bright. In the future...be more careful."

"Yes, Mr. Lao bothered." Mo Yanchi nodded, his words could not conceal the joy.

Eunuch Li hurried back to serve Emperor Hongzhi, casually mentioned a few words that were not important, and left.

After seeing Mo Yichi back after seeing off the people, Ye Min held the imperial decree and looked at it repeatedly.

After three years, Mo Yanchi finally had something to look forward to.

Suddenly, he thought of Xiao Zhijin, and Mo Yanchi turned and ran back to the house, only to find that Xiao Zhijin hadn't left yet, and was lying on his bed, closing his eyes and feigning sleep.

Mo Yanchi walked over and asked with the imperial decree: "You did this?"

"What?" Xiao Zhijin really didn't know, seeing the imperial decree in front of him, he stretched out his hand to read it, and after reading it, he returned it to Mo Yanchi, denying, "It's not me."

Mo Yanchi looked at him suspiciously, Zhu Qiming was on guard against being persuaded by himself, Emperor Hongzhi was unwilling to let him enter the court prematurely in order to protect him, everyone in the capital hoped that he would stay away from the court, the only possibility was Xiao knows everything.

Xiao Zhi couldn't get away from it, he smiled wryly and said, "It's really not me, but no matter who it is, it's not a bad thing."

However, Mo Yanchi's expression froze, and the joy on his brows disappeared completely, "I'm afraid it's a trap."

"Even if it's a trap, you have to jump into it. Is it possible that you will stay in the second prince's mansion all your life as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?" Xiao Zhijin asked with raised eyebrows, and began to think about it in his heart.

Most of the people in the court are the henchmen of the eldest prince, and Mo Yanchi's desire to fight for power is still vacillating. If he enters the court rashly, he may really fall into the trap carefully designed by others.

It's just that Mo Yanchi is the first prince, and he can't stay out of this turbulent situation. He doesn't know it, but there are countless pairs of eyes in the capital staring at him, waiting for him to fall down one day and knock him down. His flesh and blood were devoured.

Mo Yanchi shook his head: "Of course not, whatever, just go, I can't let you go for nothing."

Only then did Xiao Zhijin's gloomy mood ease, and he dragged Mo Yichi to talk about this and that.

And Eunuch Li had just left the second prince's mansion, and the imperial decree spread all over the capital. Many people began to face up to the second prince who had been unknown for three years. Emperor Hongzhi clearly planned to appoint Mo Yichi with one move.As for whether the purpose is to establish a crown prince or check and balance the eldest prince, no one knows.

After hearing the news from the young servant with a sullen face, the eldest prince suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the hot tea splashed all over the floor, and no one dared to go forward to clean it up.

The servant hurriedly knelt down, ignoring the sharp tiles under his knees, and said: "Your Highness, calm down, don't be angry."

"Go and find out, find out why the father suddenly ordered that bastard to enter the court, and I will know the reason within an hour." The eldest prince said every word, with blue veins on his forehead.

The boy Nuonuo praised, and retreated again.

There was a commotion in the First Prince's mansion, but the instigator, Concubine Jing, watched all this with cold eyes, and after mocking "something that can't be put on the table", she didn't stop her and let her wantonly investigate.

Half an hour later, the servant appeared in front of Zhu Qiming tremblingly. He walked over and lay down on the ground, hesitating and daring not to speak.

Zhu Qiming was still angry, and said angrily: "Say!"

"Yes...it's the imperial concubine..." The servant was so startled that he couldn't speak fluently, "People in the palace said that after the morning court, the imperial concubine went to serve your majesty, and for some reason they mentioned the second prince. He was unwilling to let him enter the court, and after some persuasion from the imperial concubine, His Majesty finally made sense."

"What!" Zhu Qiming jumped up against the table, kicked the boy away, and rushed out the door, but stopped when he was near the door, standing where he was thinking silently.

The servant followed up, seeing that he was not moving, he said softly: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Go and get me the servant's clothes, I'm going out for a while."

The last time Zhu Qiming met with members of the Nie family in private, he realized that Concubine Jing was not close to the Nie family, and sometimes it could even be regarded as indifferent.
