admiration

The two hid in the small Buddhist hall for tenderness, but they didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi was standing quietly outside, listening to their heartfelt exchanges, without saying a word.

They stood at the door, their voices were not loud, but it was clear enough for people to hear clearly. Eunuch Li didn't dare to look at Emperor Hongzhi, and shrank his head to lower his sense of presence.

With such a short distance, anyone who pays attention can feel that someone is outside the door. The two probably focused their attention on each other, so they didn't notice it.

Emperor Hongzhi's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear what the two were talking through through the door, but he could feel the deep love between them.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sneer, so affectionate and righteous.

Eunuch Li looked at him with trepidation, seeing his hand raised and lowered, he was relieved for some reason.

Emperor Hongzhi endured it for a long time, but finally he left without knocking on the door, shaking his sleeves.

In the room, Xiao Zhijin who was buried on Mo Yichi's neck suddenly raised his head and took a look outside.

Mo Yanchi's eyes were distracted, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses after being let go of his hand, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Someone just came"

Mo Yanchi's scalp was numb, he took two steps back, and said in horror: "Isn't that... no, I've cleaned everything here, is there still eyeliner?"

Xiao Zhijin dragged him back, "Not necessarily from here."

There were more than one person who heard the sound of footsteps, some of them walked steadily and powerfully, they were martial arts practitioners, and some were flustered, obviously without any martial arts.Standing outside the door for such a long time without disturbing the guards, there is no one but that one.

Xiao Zhijin had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, he hugged the person and did not continue talking, continuing with what he had just done.

Mo Yichi, who wanted to ask, was able to resist at first, but then he was completely lost in Xiao Zhijin's hands.

When the two of them finished warming up, Mo Yanchi had already forgotten what to ask.

The candlelight in the Small Buddha Hall was warm and yellow, making people's eyebrows and eyes softer, Mo Yanchi leaned on Xiao Zhijin's body, and sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's been half a year since the palace exam."

"Yeah." Compared with three years, it is indeed much faster.Xiao Zhijin patted his back lightly and nodded.

"By the way, didn't you say that Uncle Huang is gone? Where did he go?"

Xiao Zhijin said: "I don't know, he didn't leave me a single letter. General Wei Ling said that he went south, but he didn't look back at the village."

"It's really capricious. Father often talks about Uncle Huang. His stubborn appearance is nothing like Mr. Ming's."

Emperor Hongzhi often boasted in front of Mo Yanchi how handsome and handsome his younger brother was. Mo Yanchi always thought he was a handsome young man, so when he learned that Mingshu was the virtuous king, he took a long time to accept it.

But people really cannot be judged by appearances.

The Ming Shu in his eyes is a pedantic teacher who is waving a ruler in his hand. Who would have thought that three years later, he would transform into the younger brother whom Emperor Hongzhi had been looking for for many years. The prince is completely incomparable.

Xiao Zhijin probably thought of the same thing, amused and distressed at the same time: "Your royal family are all double-faced people, right? They bullied me like that before, but they were bullied so badly in reverse."

Since he avenged himself, Mo Yanchi's hostility was not so heavy, and he was not annoyed when he was teased so much, he followed his words and said: "Yeah, yeah, actually, I can't even beat you in the end, I can't beat you at all. It counts as bullying you."

"I'm looking forward to you bullying me every day..." Xiao Zhi felt extremely melancholy.

At that time, he couldn't figure out his own feelings, wanted to get in touch with Mo Yanchi, but was very guilty when facing him, and only hoped that Mo Yanchi would come to trouble him every day, so that he would have the opportunity to get along with him.

Although every time I brought a few younger brothers behind me...

Mo Yichi read the provocation from his lost eyes. After all, he used to be one of the best little bullies in the village, and he was wild. He threw himself on Xiao Zhijin, pinched his neck, and said viciously: "Are you serious?" Do you think I can't beat you?"

"Ah?" Xiao Zhijin was suddenly stunned, and was about to ask him, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, the two of them trembled in shock, and subconsciously pushed each other away.

"Who!"

"Your Highness, it's me." It was Ye Min who came.

"Come in." Mo Yanchi heaved a sigh of relief, and when Ye Min approached, he asked Xiao Zhijin, "Why are you pushing me away!"

Xiao Zhijin had just been pushed back by Mo Yanchi, and he was still lying on the futon and didn't get up, no matter how he looked, he was Mo Yanchi's pusher, he looked at him, and got up silently.

Ye Min had never seen Xiao Zhuangyuan in such a state of embarrassment, so he couldn't help but take a look, and said, "His Royal Highness, just now the palace came to order, saying that someone has calculated that His Highness and Sun's destiny are not compatible, and there is a similarity, so... The marriage is called off."

Xiao Zhijin raised his eyebrows, a little surprised and a little not surprised.

Mo Yanchi was a little surprised. Before, Emperor Hongzhi was afraid that he would be playing tricks secretly, so he specially found a trusted confidant to calculate his fate. Later, he issued an imperial decree. He wanted to criticize him well, but now he changed the marriage because of it. It doesn't make sense.

He looked at Xiao Zhijin probingly, "You did it?"

"No, I was thinking of robbing you when you get married, but now there is no need." Xiao Zhijin shook his head, pretending to be a little disappointed.

Ye Min just heard the news from the palace to report, and didn't intend to continue to disturb the two of them, so he quietly retreated out while they were talking as if no one was around.

Mo Yanchi was a little surprised: "You actually planned to snatch the marriage."

"Otherwise, His Highness really intends to marry the Crown Princess?" Xiao Zhijian raised his eyebrows, while extending his magic hand to Mo Yanchi.

Mo Yanchi had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed his wrist and said anxiously: "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, I will go to the palace to ask Father later."

Xiao Zhijin didn't stop him, leaned over and kissed him several times before letting go, "Then you go and come back quickly, and have dinner together tonight."

Now one of them is in the palace and the other is outside the palace, they get together less and leave more, Mo Yanchi did not refuse, and before going out, he even told the dining room to make some of Xiao Zhijin's favorite food.

Emperor Hongzhi's imperial decree to cancel the marriage has not yet been issued, but there has been a lot of rumors in the palace. Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi took into account Sun's reputation and only said that the two people's fortunes were inconsistent, and everyone knew about him and Xiao Zhijin. Poor Mrs. Sun, she didn't comment much, so as not to tarnish her reputation.

Mo Yanchi rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongzhi was being served by a concubine for some snacks, he was in a good mood, he was summoned into the hall when he heard that he was coming.

Emperor Hongzhi never liked the concubine's contact with the prince, and the concubine knew it too, so she got up and left before he came in.

Mo Yanchi entered the hall, raised his clothes and saluted, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't stop him, and said in a cold voice, "You are well informed."

"Thank you, father, for making it perfect." Mo Yanchi didn't dare to be stubborn in front of Emperor Hongzhi at this moment, and obediently subdued, showing a pure and innocent appearance.

No matter how confused he was, Emperor Hongzhi didn't believe that this person was as innocent and ignorant as he appeared on the surface. He glanced at him twice, and Mo Yanchi stood still, keeping a smile on his face, but Emperor Hongzhi was soft-hearted, and was the first to lose, sighing Said: "I am getting old, and I have more than enough energy to take care of many things. From now on, you can do it yourself."

After all, father and son are connected by blood, more than ten years of separation, and only three years of reunion, still makes Mo Yichi feel guilty when he sees the gray hair on Emperor Hongzhi's temples.

On the road, he was full of words, but he couldn't say a word at this moment. He lowered his eyes to hide the shame in his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi is a wise emperor, Dudu is very concerned about his children, not to mention that Mo Yichi has been missing for more than ten years and suffered all kinds of hardships outside, so he really can't do anything cruel to him.

After all, it was his own fault.

Emperor Hongzhi figured it out, he didn't intend to embarrass Mo Yanchi, he waved his hand for the palace servants to offer tea, Mo Yanchi took the tea cup, a little flattered.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him, and said, "Why, did you think I would kill both of you?"

"I don't dare." Mo Yanchi followed suit, "Father...do you agree with the matter between Erchen and Xiao Qing?"

Emperor Hongzhi laughed angrily: "What's the use of disagreeing with me! But there is only one thing, I want you to promise that there will be no male queen in the Min Dynasty."

Mo Yanchi's smile froze, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but tightly clenched the hand holding the teacup, almost crushing it.

He was silent for a long time, looked up at Emperor Hongzhi, and nodded heavily.

This is Emperor Hongzhi's greatest tolerance for this matter, Mo Yichi agrees, if not, Emperor Hongzhi will risk the consequences of father and son turning against each other, and also want to get rid of Xiao Zhijin.

But fortunately, Mo Yanchi did not disappoint him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh, not knowing why.

Mo Yanchi took a sip of tea and said, "Father, don't worry, I will not go back on what I promised."

"I'm sorry you don't dare." Emperor Hongzhi said angrily, "I don't know who he resembles, acting so deviant."

"Probably...uncle emperor?" Mo Yanchi said boldly.

The palace servants who were waiting on the side almost dropped their jaws when they heard the words. The crown prince is really favored by Emperor Hongzhi, and he can say such outrageous words.It is also thanks to Emperor Hongzhi that he is not a suspicious person, otherwise he would be able to punish the prince and the virtuous king with just these words.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him, and said: "Then it's better to adopt you, so as to prevent your uncle from dying."

"Your minister made a mistake." Mo Yanchi replied immediately, seeing Emperor Hongzhi's expression was sullen, and added: "Speaking of likeness, my minister is more like my father, handsome and elegant."

"Are you boasting about yourself?" Emperor Hongzhi was amused by him, and finally smiled a bit.

The rift between the two vanished with the smile of Emperor Hongzhi.

The matter between Mo Yanchi and Xiao Zhijin was finally settled, the two talked about the past for a long time, and Mo Yanchi brought up the court affairs again.

Zhu Qiming was exiled, Concubine Jing declared that she had been executed, but she was actually taken to Jiangzhou by Jiang Wan. Nothing happened to the court. The only troublesome thing was that Nie Cheng surrendered his military power and returned home.

As for Nie Cheng, Mo Yanchi never liked him, because he was a minister who had the merits of a dragon, Mo Yanchi couldn't deal with it, so he could only tell Emperor Hongzhi.

Nie Cheng put down his military power at this time, just for Jiang Wan, and Emperor Hongzhi had always planned to take back his military power, and it was even more impossible to refuse at this time.

"Then find someone to replace him, just make him a Marquis, enough for him to enjoy his old age in peace."

Mo Yanchi nodded: "Yes."
