"Your Highness, there are people coming from the palace, please enter the palace."

Mo Yunyuan finally went to court today, so he wanted to go back to the house early to accompany Ji Yanli. The two had lunch, and after a lunch break, they set up a chess table in the room. After playing for a while, Uncle Chen came to report .

Mo Yunyuan frowned, "What's the matter? If it's nothing serious, then just find a reason and just refuse."

Uncle Chen said in embarrassment, "Your Highness, Eunuch Hong from the palace came in person. He said that apart from inviting you, he and the second prince also entered the palace together."

In the past, those father-in-laws in the palace were the only ones who delivered the decree, and the people in Yunyuan Mansion just found a reason to refuse when they saw it. The emperor also knew that His Highness was unwilling to participate, so he would not blame His Highness.

But this is the first time for Eunuch Hong. He is a close confidant of the emperor, and he came in person, which represents the meaning of the emperor...

Chen Bo was not sure what the person in the palace meant, so he decided to come over and report to His Highness.

Mo Yunyuan and Ji Yanli looked at each other, obviously they both understood what Chen Bo meant.

Ji Yanli frowned, "Why so suddenly, it's probably too late for Yi Rong."

Mo Yunyuan said to Uncle Chen, "You go and tell Eunuch Hong first, and I will change my clothes and follow him into the palace."

Then he comforted Yan Li, "Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go, if you're hungry, eat dinner first, don't wait for me."

Ji Yanli thought for a moment, "It's a bit sudden to call you this time, why don't I go with you? I'll wait for you in the carriage outside the palace gate."

Mo Yunyuan shook his head, "If you stay, you don't know how long you have to talk about the so-called matter. If something serious happens, you can stay and pay attention to the changes in the mansion."

Ji Yanli felt that what Mo Yunyuan said was reasonable, "Then be careful, I always feel that this matter has something to do with Jing Ming!"

Mo Yunyuan nodded slightly, "Well, I will pay attention."

Emperor Chong'an first chatted with Jing Yuan and Jing Ming about recent affairs in the court, and after asking them what they thought, he finally began to talk about the purpose of letting them come today.

Emperor Chong'an picked up the teacup in front of him, "A few days ago, Concubine Chen Gui came to me and mentioned an inscription that she wanted to accept Master Cao's eldest daughter as a side concubine?"

Jing Ming replied respectfully, "Yes, Erchen has been in love with her for a long time, thinking of letting her marry into the mansion as soon as possible. The multiple masters in the mansion will be more lively, so that they can not only help Erchen take care of the trivial matters in the mansion, but also serve our royal family. Branches and leaves spread."

Speaking of this, Jing Ming specifically looked at Jing Yuan, "You think so, Sixth Brother?"

Emperor Chong'an also looked at Jing Yuan.

"Brother Huang, you are joking. The servants in my mansion are quite shrewd and capable. They never let me worry about the trivial matters in the mansion. I don't know why you must marry a side concubine to solve those trivial matters in the mansion!" Jing Yuan calmed down. Putting down the teacup calmly, "Furthermore, there are groups of wives and concubines in the imperial brother's mansion. I think it is indeed a bit more lively than my mansion, but I have been used to being quiet since I was a child, and I don't like excitement."

After hearing this, Emperor Chong'an recalled the memorial to impeach Jing Ming for not doing his job properly and being obsessed with beauty. There isn't a single warmer."

When Jing Yuan heard this, he thought of last night, and couldn't help but feel that his back hurts.

"I know my health is not good, I'm afraid it will delay others."

Emperor Chong'an was a little angry when he heard this, "Nonsense! You are my son, the prince! If someone else marries you, that is her blessing!"

Jing Yuan just smiled and said nothing.

Jing Ming was a little displeased, his father was always so eccentric, but he still suppressed his unhappiness, "Yes, how can Liu Huangdi think so, I see your body is getting better day by day, you haven't seen it for the past two days. Did you go riding a horse in the countryside with your guard?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chong'an didn't know what to think, and said, "Two days ago, Concubine Chen Guifei brought the daughter of the Cao family to see you, and she mentioned that her little sister had seen you once in the palace, and she had admiration for you. Feelings."

"Chen Guifei heard about it, and thought that you have not had a mistress in your mansion all these years, so she suggested that it would be a good talk for the two sisters to marry you two brothers."

Jing Ming echoed, "This is a good idea, Concubine Mu."

"I see that the eldest daughter of the Cao family is dignified and decent, and it would be nice to come to their younger sister, not to mention that the younger sister of the Cao family is interested in you, and she is also willing to come and marry in your house."

Jing Yuan felt a little annoyed when he heard this, "Father, if my son remembers correctly, when my father wanted to give my son a marriage in the early years, my son would tell my father and my son the person he had long wanted to belong to."

"Father, if the daughter of the Cao family is not bad, it is not bad to make her a concubine."

Emperor Chong'an was also a little annoyed when he saw Jing Yuan's appearance, "Presumptuous! I just asked you to accept a side concubine, how dare that person resist the order!"

"He dares! I dare too!" Jing Yuan said calmly, "We have already promised to be a couple forever! I hope that Father will not make things difficult for me."

"I just asked you to marry a side concubine, you...you for..." Before Emperor Chong'an finished speaking, he glanced at Jing Ming who was interested in watching the show, "You go down first, I still have a few words Talk to him alone."

Seeing that the two of them were at war with each other, Jing Ming suppressed the joy in his heart, and retreated respectfully.

Emperor Chong'an said angrily, "Do you know what Concubine Chen Guifei said to me that day? She said that you were entangled with the guards who came that day in the mansion, which hurt the royal family's face!"

Jing Yuan frowned and said nothing.

"You are my son, so I know you well. When I saw you caring for that guard that day, I knew he was the person you liked. I didn't say anything in front of everyone that day. "Emperor Chong'an said softly, "It's his blessing to be favored by you because of his humble status, and I agree with you if you want to marry him as a concubine, but if you sit in my position in the future, he can't be the only one in the harem!"

Mo Yunyuan tried his best to listen to all the words, "Has the emperor finished speaking? If it is finished, I will step back."

When Emperor Chong'an saw that Jing Yuan was soft and hard, he couldn't help being furious, "Jing Yuan! Do you really want to do this?"

Jing Yuan stood up and straightened his posture, "Your Majesty, what you were unable to do before doesn't mean that the minister cannot do it!"

"You..." Emperor Chong'an suddenly lost his temper, "Are you blaming me?"

"Isn't I not good enough for your mother and concubine? What are you blaming me for all these years?"

"I dare not!"

Emperor Chong'an continued, "Back then, I tried my best to make her Concubine Yun, and loved you and her in every possible way. In the next year, I have never forced you to do anything you don't want to do!"

Jing Yuan sneered, "Then you asked my concubine mother, are those... really what my concubine mother wants?"

"Sometimes I think, if it wasn't for me, maybe my mother and concubine wouldn't have entered the palace with you, and wouldn't have been killed by someone."

Emperor Chong'an looked sad, "Yuan'er!"

"So please don't meddle in your minister's marriage." After Jing Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to Emperor Chong'an and then withdrew.

Cen Zhi saw that Mo Yunyuan seemed to be in a bad mood after he came out of the palace, and asked, "Your Highness, are you going back to the residence?"

"No, go to the teacher's house."

Mo Yunyuan knew that he didn't seem to be emotionally stable now, and he was afraid that Yanli would find out after returning home, which would make him worry.

Cen Zhi drove the carriage to Cen's residence, "Yes."

As soon as Cen Zheng saw his son, he laughed and said, "The steward came to report that the two of you have returned home. Your mother was still talking about counting you as conscientious, so I said you must have come down with His Highness. She still didn't believe it. Sure enough. !"

Seeing Mo Yunyuan's depression, Cen Zheng cared for him, "Your Highness, what's going on?"

Mo Yunyuan picked up the teacup, "When I entered the palace today, Concubine Chen Guifei and Jing Ming secretly encouraged the emperor to accept me as a side concubine."

"This..." Cen Zheng naturally thought of the Young Master Ji in Mo Yunyuan's residence.

"I naturally refused. After arguing with him for a while, I inadvertently talked about my concubine mother. The teacher doesn't need to worry about me. I will go back to the teacher's residence after calming down."

"Yes, let's play chess with His Highness."

"it is good."

After a while, the steward came to report, "Your Highness, there is a servant in your mansion asking to see you, and he said that he was ordered by Young Master Ji to send you something."

Mo Yunyuan nodded, "Let him in." Then he put the black chess piece on the board and asked the butler, "Do you know what it is?"

The butler replied, "Listen to him, it seems to be some kind of rose cake."

"What...what?" Mo Yunyuan couldn't believe his ears, "At this time...do you want to send rose ointment?"

Yan Li...doesn't he even check the occasion?

While talking, the servant came in and bowed to Mo Yunyuan, "Your Highness, the little one is entrusted by Young Master Ji to bring you the rose cake he made himself."

Mo Yunyuan frowned and looked at the food box. Not long after he arrived at Cen's mansion, this young man followed him, "How did Yanli know that I am here?"

The young servant said impeccably, "Young master Ji asked me to send the cakes to the palace. I was afraid that you would stay in the palace for too long and you would be hungry when you came back, so I asked you to eat some cakes in the car first." Stomach. But when the little one was passing by the palace, he saw the carriage from our mansion coming up to Mr. Cen's mansion, so the little one followed."

Mo Yunyuan raised his head and said to the boy, "Show me that box of rose cakes!"

The boy opened the food box and put it on the chess table.

Cen Zheng saw that the rose cake was fragrant and beautiful, and praised, "Young master Ji is really a good crafter!"

Mo Yunyuan didn't even look at the box of rose cakes and said to the boy, "Today, my king feels that this rose cake is a bit tired, why don't you eat it for me."

Cen Xing also sensed something was wrong when he heard this, and he clenched his sword tightly.

Then the boy's expression froze for a second when he heard this, and then he said in horror, "This is the kindness from Young Master Ji to His Highness, little one... how dare you go over the line."

Mo Yunyuan played with the black chess in his hand, "He knows that I don't like sweets, and he never prepares these things for me."

"I didn't know that there are other people's eyeliners in my mansion."

As soon as the boy heard that he had been seen through, he took out the dagger in his sleeve and was about to stab him. The black chess in Mo Yunyuan's hand bounced towards his knees, and the boy knelt down. Falling to the ground, Cen Xing immediately stepped forward and drew his sword and put it at his throat. Fearing that he would commit suicide, Cen Zhi squeezed his mouth open to check whether it contained poison.

After confirming that there was no hidden poison, he wiped his hands on the robe in disgust.
