After walking around, Mo Ran also saw the Jiutian Restaurant in the capital city, which was much more grand than the one in Qingshui Town. The plaque hanging at the door was in bronzing fonts, and the store area was several times larger. When it was close to meal time, the restaurant was full of people.

Mo Ran smiled: "I didn't expect to come to Jiutian Restaurant, why don't we just go in and have a meal?"

The lady wanted to eat, Jiang Jingjiu naturally responded to her request, the two walked in holding hands, the second waiter at the door saw them with sharp eyes, came over and asked: "Two guests..."

He recognized General Jiang's face and was taken aback. He hurriedly invited him inside politely. He didn't forget to take a peek at Mo Ran, who was dressed in men's clothes. There was no malicious intent in his eyes, just pure curiosity.

"General Jiang, please wait a moment." Xiao Er brought the man inside and left in a hurry. Mo Ran saw him running to the counter and talking to a slightly fat middle-aged man, and then that man came over take them.

The shopkeeper smiled enthusiastically, narrowing his eyes: "There are a lot of people here, how about General Jiang and the villain going to the wing on the third floor?"

They didn't want to be surrounded by people below, so they naturally wouldn't refuse.

When they got to the side room, Jiang Jingjiu asked Mo Ran what to eat. Mo Ran thought for a while and said, "Eat hot pot, it's warmer. I want to eat this, this, and this..."

The shopkeeper took the menu and went down to prepare. Mo Ran pressed his elbows on the table and propped his chin on the table and said, "There are a lot of people in the capital."

The small place in Qingshui Town is completely incomparable.

"The capital city is where the imperial palace is located. With the emperor here, there are naturally many people and more prosperity." Jiang Jingjiu said.

It is very refreshing to eat hot pot when it is cold, especially after Mo Ran came to the capital, he seldom eats it, so he eats it with satisfaction.

"It's so spicy, but it's delicious~" Mo Ran was sweating profusely after eating, but kept moving his hands, exhaling while eating. It's a pity that there is no iced cola or other drinks here, otherwise it would be better.

In addition to eating, Jiang Jingjiu was also responsible for helping Mo burn the dishes. Seeing this, he frowned and said helplessly: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you, be careful not to burn your mouth."

He can't eat spicy food, so what he ate was clear soup. Mo Ran had a circle of red oil around his mouth. With tears in his eyes, he complained indistinctly with puffed cheeks: "Woooooh, it's really hot, Ajiu is really a crow's mouth."

Jiang Jingjiu quickly pinched his chin to let him open his mouth to show himself, Mo Ran obeyed obediently, sticking out the tip of his pink tongue, the two heads were very close, and the atmosphere seemed a little ambiguous.

Mo Ran looked at Jiang Jingjiu with downcast eyes and a serious expression, his eyes kept looking at his tongue, his head got closer and closer, and his heart suddenly thumped.

It seems that Ajiu wants to... kiss him?

Mo Ran blushed, and couldn't help closing his eyes expectantly.

however--

After a few seconds, I didn't see any movement from the other party, but the hand on the chin loosened.

Mo Ran opened his eyes, and saw Jiang Jingjiu seriously uttering his conclusion: "Fortunately, the tongue looks fine, let me let the lady dry it before eating."

Mo Ran "..."

After Jiang Jingjiu finished speaking, he asked him again with a puzzled expression: "But why did you close your eyes just now? Is your tongue too painful?"

Mo Ran: "..."

Immediately, his face was blushing and his heart was not beating, and there was no wave in his heart, and he could even show a smirk.

Jiang Jingjiu said: "Do you want me to brag?"

Heh, I just want you to kiss, not to brag.

Smelly straight man!

Mo Ran complained in his heart expressionlessly, when he suddenly heard Jiang Jingjiu chuckle softly, the laughter was provocative.

It seems that the heart came slowly: "It's not blowing, is it kissing?"

Mo Ran complained, "You only know!"

The soup in the hot pot was bubbling and bubbling, and the ingredients left in it were tossing up and down until they were boiled soft, but the two protagonists had no time to fish them out.

Instead, he kissed with forgetfulness, Mo Ran closed his eyes like before, and the candlelight cast a soft light on the upper half of his face.

Jiang Jingjiu's black eyes were half closed, with the tip of Mo Ran's tongue dancing, his eyes full of warmth.

The kiss was over, and the dishes in the hot pot were overcooked and lost their original flavor.

Jiang Jingjiu pressed his rough thumb lightly on the corner of Mo Ran's lips, and teased softly, "It all tastes like hot pot."

"Spicy and sweet."

That day, after Mrs. Lin discovered the secret of the wooden board at the bottom of the bed, she always thought about it from time to time. She took advantage of the Third Prince taking a bath in the bathtub and secretly flipped through the clothes that the Third Prince changed. No, let alone anything else.

It seems that the third prince is really cautious, even if she finds out where the things are hidden, she can't open them.

But the time was running out, she took the note from Concubine Chen Gui to the third prince, and she was sure that the next time Concubine Chen sent the note over, the third prince would not see it.

If Concubine Chen Guifei mentioned the note from last time, the Third Prince would inevitably become suspicious of her.

As she thought about it, she rubbed the ink restlessly.

At this time, the third prince was practicing calligraphy in the study room. He sat upright, with his wrist hanging in the air, writing a line of words smoothly, and put it aside to dry after each page was filled.

I plan to put it away and show it to the emperor after the confinement expires, to show that I have not wasted time.

And Mrs. Lin was sitting on his left, so she could see the calligraphy he was practicing without hindering the third prince's movements, and she still remembered to praise him from time to time.

She didn't know how long it took to grind, but she didn't stop until the inkstone was filled with more than half of the ink.Her hands were sore after grinding for a long time, she subconsciously shook her hands to relax, her fingers accidentally touched the jade pendant on the third prince's waist.

It was just a trivial matter, the jade pendant didn't even move, unexpectedly the third prince stopped the brush and covered the jade pendant in a big reaction, and said with a cold face, "Don't touch my jade pendant."

Mrs. Lin was taken aback, her hands froze in mid-air after being yelled at, she didn't expect the third prince's reaction to be so great.

Her eyes subconsciously fell on the jade pendant that never left the third prince's body except for certain times.

After the third prince yelled, he also realized that his attitude was a bit too much. Wan'er just bumped into her accidentally, but he yelled at her because of nervousness.

Seeing Wan'er staring blankly at her hands, she seemed to be heartbroken by her bad attitude.

Not knowing that Mrs. Lin was actually looking at the jade pendant, the third prince's tone softened immediately, and coaxed: "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I just didn't mean it, so don't take it to heart."

He leaned over and hugged Mrs. Lin's waist, and said, "It's because this jade pendant is very important to me, so I subconsciously..."

Mrs. Lin caught his words, shook her head, and asked tentatively: "This jade pendant is very important. Could it be that the emperor gave it to you?"

The third prince smiled and said in a joking tone: "No, Wan'er guessed wrong. This jade pendant was given to me by my concubine mother. I like it very much. Concubine mother also said that I should treat the jade pendant as a family heirloom in the future."

Mrs. Lin pouted and said coquettishly: "Wan'er has never heard you say it before, isn't the family heirloom can also be passed on to the daughter-in-law... Could it be that the third prince doesn't really like Wan'er, but is just playing around, and actually wants to pass on the jade pendant to his daughter-in-law?" A son born to your imperial concubine?"

"It turns out that your favorite is the imperial concubine, I'm just a..."

She had an aggrieved expression and lowered her head, wanting to cry.

The third prince let her go, and asked with downcast eyes: "Could it be that Wan'er wants this jade pendant?"

Mrs. Lin was startled, the third prince's expression and tone were normal, and he was still smiling, but she somehow felt that if she nodded, the third prince might be suspicious of her.

She stared fixedly at the third prince for two seconds, then suddenly smiled like a flower, shook her head gently, hugged the third prince's arm actively, and said softly:

"Wan'er didn't want it, since this jade pendant is so important to the Third Prince, how could Wan'er go easily. Wan'er is just, Wan'er is just..."

She clung to the third prince's ear, and breathed like blue: "Wan'er is just worried that the third prince will ignore Wan'er one day, so she wants to test... I'm sorry, Wan'er knows it's wrong."

She apologized in a low voice, with a panicked expression on her face, as if she was really afraid of the third prince's empathy because of the fight for favor.

The third prince let go of his heart, took her into his arms, and said with a hearty smile: "I was thinking too much. But Wan'er suddenly called me the third prince. Doesn't it seem that we are unfamiliar, why don't you call your husband to listen?"

The jade pendant was stuck around her waist, Madam Lin said sweetly, "Husband~"

No one expected that the emperor went out on a tour in micro-clothes that day, and went to the general's mansion.

At that time, the emperor was wearing ordinary clothes, and he got out of the carriage with Eunuch Cheng by his side. It looked like there were only two people, but in fact, there were countless disguised imperial guards behind him to protect his safety.

The emperor seldom went out, and not many people knew his face. Eunuch Cheng was like an ordinary old man, with a friendly smile. None of the servants at the gate of the general's mansion recognized them at the first time, but dutifully stopped them. He said outside the door that he would go in and report first.

Before the emperor made a statement, Eunuch Cheng became displeased, and took out an ID card from his sleeve to show it to the servants.

"This is your majesty, please hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the emperor: "Ah Cheng, it's fine. You go in and report first, and I'll just wait here."

The servant who saw the token opened his eyes wide in horror. He didn't expect that the person who came was the most honorable He Cheng in the palace.

Fortunately, the guards came out in time to take the two of them in, and the hidden guards quickly sent the news to Jiang Jingjiu.

Guessing that they came for Mo Ran's identity, although it was different from what he expected, Jiang Jingjiu didn't call them into the palace, so Jiang Jingjiu directly took Mo Ran with him and went to the main hall.

The emperor, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, could not hide the imposing manner of the emperor, sitting at the head. Eunuch Cheng bent over and was about to pass the tea prepared by the servants to the emperor when Jiang Jingjiu and Mo Ran came in.

Without kneeling down, Jiang Jingjiu just calmly pulled Mo Ran to salute, neither humble nor overbearing said: "See Your Majesty, I don't know that His Majesty is here to make a tour today, and I am far away from welcoming you, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Mo Ran imitated the sentence and said "see the emperor".

Seeing that they didn't kneel down, the emperor, who usually thought Jiang Jing would be fine if he didn't kneel for a long time, was worried at this moment, but he didn't show it, and said in the usual tone:

"Aiqing is flat, is this Aiqing's wife?"

His eyes fell on Mo Ran who had recovered his men's clothes, and his eyes moved slightly.

Jiang Jingjiu pretended not to see the emperor looking at Mo Ran, straightened his body and said: "Return to the emperor, yes, my wife is Mo Ran, she is from Langhe Village, Qingshui Town, Yunyang City, and she came to Beijing with me this year." .”

The emperor said in confusion: "Oh, your wife is really from the countryside. Is this the first time she has come to Beijing?"

Jiang Jingjiu raised his head: "I dare to ask the emperor what is your intention?"

Inexplicably, they felt that their conversation was full of gunpowder. Mo Ran, who was afraid that the emperor would say something wrong and beheaded, lowered his head and quietly tore off the robe behind Jiang Jingjiu, thinking that his movements were small, but in fact, the emperor and Cheng Gonggong watched them eyes.

The emperor smiled, but did not answer, and seemed to explain: "That's right, Aiqing was still young when the incident happened, so I probably don't remember it, and I can't blame Aiqing. It's just that Aiqing should know about the former prime minister, right? "

"Remember, the former prime minister was Si Mengqing, who was imprisoned 20 years ago for collaborating with the enemy."

The emperor shook his head: "Aiqing didn't say everything, and then I killed all of their nine clans."

"Dare to cooperate with the enemy, as it should be."

He looked at Mo Ran meaningfully, and said in his mouth: "What does Ai Qing mean by asking me, why not ask Ai Qing first to see if she knows this person before asking. Ah Cheng."

He called out, and Eunuch Cheng immediately picked up a portrait rolled up on the table, and slowly unfolded it in his hands.

The face of a woman with a gentle smile appeared.

Mo Ran also looked over curiously and was stunned.

He looks a lot like the woman in the painting.
