The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

At night, Yizhu came to report to Mo Yuchen. After reporting, he looked at Mo Yuchen's face and said tentatively, "Your Highness, I have already given the order. Madam Yu will be confined to her house for half a year and punished to copy the palace rules ten times."

Mo Yuchen was looking through the documents in his hand. After listening to Yizhu's words, he put down what he was doing, raised his head, and said to Yizhu: "Next time if you encounter such a thing, report the identity of the Third Miss first, and don't let those who don't have eyes disrespect her."

Yizhu nodded repeatedly. It was his negligence today. He should have reported the Third Miss's identity first. Otherwise, His Highness would not have seen Aunt Yu openly disrespecting the Third Miss.

"We still have to give orders not to let anyone touch the white jasmine tree at will." After thinking about it, Mo Yuchen added a sentence.

However, Mo Yuchen's behavior today was clearly that he allowed Xia Yanxiang to touch him at will. Aunt Yu saw it with her own eyes. If he then ordered that no one was allowed to touch him, wouldn't that be inconsistent?

"But Your Highness, today you allowed the Third Miss to touch it in front of Madam Yu. If you give orders not to touch it, wouldn't that make people suspicious?" Yizhu couldn't hold it in and said it out.

Mo Yuchen had already thought of this: "If anyone doubts, tell them that the Third Miss is a guest. It would be even more embarrassing for me to yell at her when she comes to visit. They are my people. Since they have entered Prince Luo's Mansion, they should understand that I am the one who makes the decisions in this mansion, and it is not their turn to have a say."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, today the third young lady of the Minister of Rites's Mansion went to Prince Luo's Mansion." Eunuch Li reported to Mo Cheng while grinding ink for him.

Mo Cheng did not express anything, and continued to calmly review the memorials, as if answering casually: "After all, it was Prince Luo who rescued the Third Miss, so it is normal for her to go to the door to express her gratitude."

"Yes." Eunuch Li looked at Mo Cheng's face and said carefully, "But the third lady seemed to have moved something in Prince Luo's Mansion and was scolded by Concubine Yu."

"Aunt? She is quite brave." Mo Cheng chuckled, knowing that the aunt must not know Xia Yanxiang's identity.

"Later, he was punished by His Royal Highness Prince Luo and was confined to his room for half a year." Eunuch Li couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

"Half a year?" Mo Cheng had some reaction after hearing this, "I'm afraid this punishment is a bit too much..."

Eunuch Li nodded and said, "Originally, that concubine was disrespectful to the Third Miss first, and then she contradicted His Royal Highness Prince Luo. Although His Royal Highness Prince Luo's punishment was a bit severe, it is understandable."

Mo Cheng smiled contemptuously.

He could still guess what Mo Yuchen was thinking, but since the other party was Xia Yanxiang, he couldn't just ignore it.

"What has King Yu been doing these days?" Mo Cheng did not ask about Mo Yuchen anymore, but asked about Mo Yuxuan instead.

Eunuch Li quickly replied, "Your Highness Prince Yu has been visiting the Anyue Palace to see the Imperial Concubine recently, and other times he has been out sightseeing among the common people."

"He's never behaved properly and always runs around among the people." Mo Cheng snorted, but it was true. Although Mo Fuxuan was like this now, he was not free from responsibility. It was because he focused on Mo Fuchen and Mo Fuyang and didn't discipline Mo Fuxuan, which led to his current idle appearance.

"Didn't he go to the Luowang Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Zhuo would go there occasionally, but he has been going less frequently in recent days."

Are both of these so abnormal?

"On weekdays, he loves to go to Prince Luo's Mansion the most. He did the same even when he opened his own mansion. Why hasn't he been there recently? Send someone to investigate. Why are these two people acting so abnormal?" Mo Cheng didn't seem to care much and just handed the matter over.

"Yes."

Mo Xuanxuan had no idea that Mo Cheng had noticed his abnormality, and was still happily preparing gifts.

"Well, prepare some nice hair accessories, preferably cute ones." Mo Yuxuan seemed very happy, holding a list and instructing his personal bodyguard Yi Mu.

Yi Mu looked helpless: "Your Highness, this is too obvious."

"What's so obvious about it?" Mo Yuxuan still hadn't figured out what the problem was.

Yi Mu was speechless: "Your Highness, although these things you prepared are good things, if Miss Six wears them outside, won't others know that they are from you?"

"So what?" Mo Xuanxuan didn't care about these things. He just wanted to send it, and no one could stop him.

Yi Mu knew that His Highness had never suffered any hardship in the civilian life, and had no idea what his behavior meant: "Your Highness, the Sixth Miss is only a concubine's daughter. If she wears expensive jewelry outside, people will definitely gossip about her. What's more, the Sixth Miss has two troublesome concubine sisters at home."

Mo Xuanxuan didn't quite understand.

“Your Highness, you are a prince. Others will not say anything even if they know it was you who sent it. But it is different for the Sixth Miss. She is a concubine’s daughter. Even if she is the daughter of a wealthy family, it is the same for any woman. If she is gossiped about, she will have a hard time in her parents’ home or in her husband’s home in the future.” Although Yi Mu grew up with Mo Yuxuan, he was a child outside the palace after all. He did not enter the palace until he was nine years old. Although he was still young at that time, he suffered from the sufferings of the people.

After hearing what Yi Mu said, Mo Yuxuan was a little hesitant: "But if I send something bad, wouldn't it be like I'm looking down on them?"

“……”That’s right!

So what to do?

Mo Yuxuan's previous happiness disappeared, and a look of sadness appeared on his face.

"How about this, Your Highness? Next time you go out to see Miss Six, bring some food with you and explain things to her clearly. Miss Six is ​​not a stingy person and she will certainly not be angry with you." Yi Mu thought about it and gave Mo Yuxuan an idea.

Mo Yuxuan thought about it for a while and thought it was not bad. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Okay, Yimu, tell me, how many lovers do you have outside? How can you be so good at dealing with things?"

Yi Mu was even more speechless. How could he have a lover? He would sneak out with Mo Yuxuan to meet people every day.

"Your Highness..." Yi Mu knew that Mo Xuanxuan was just joking and there was no need to give him a proper answer.

Mo Xuanxuan rolled his eyes mysteriously and exclaimed as if he understood something.

“…Really not!”

"By the way, second brother, didn't you notice that I haven't been to his house recently?" Mo Xuanxuan suddenly remembered and asked like a guilty thief.

"..."Who is His Royal Highness Prince Luo? And who are you? Can't His Royal Highness Prince Luo see through your little thoughts?

Looking at Yi Mu's speechless expression, Mo Xuanxuan also felt that his question was a bit stupid.

Who is the second brother? How could he possibly hide this from the second brother?

"Forget it, I'll go to my second brother's house tomorrow and torture him into confessing!" Mo Xuanxuan was deflated and cried.

"Maybe His Royal Highness Prince Luo hasn't discovered it yet!" Yi Mu held a glimmer of hope.

Mo Xuanxuan originally thought so, but he could hide it for a while but not forever, so he had to tell it sooner or later, not to mention that his second brother might help him, wouldn't that be better!

"Forget it, I have to say it sooner or later. I'll pretend to be pitiful tomorrow. Maybe I can ask my second brother for help." Mo Xuanxuan smiled slyly.
