Disobedience

"Kneeling like that all night, you must be tired. If you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while. It's time for me to take a nap."

Mo Jing and vigilantly moved half of his body inside, Mu Dongchu smiled disapprovingly, turned over, and hugged him.

"It's not that you haven't slept together, and you're still shy?"

Mo Jinghe's fair skin immediately blushed slightly, trying to get out of Mu Dongchu's arms.

"Don't move, if you move again, you will really miss the edge."

Mo Jinghe could only look like a corpse, and after a while, tiredness hit his head, and Mu Dongchu's arms were warm after all, and he gradually fell asleep.

It was only in the middle of the night that he woke up. After touching the place where Mu Dongchu was lying, it was already cold.

Hearing the movement, a servant came in to serve.

"My lord, the emperor ordered you to stay in the side hall for a few days because your legs and feet are inconvenient. You will return to the Xiaohan Pavilion after your injuries are fully recovered."

Mo Jinghe bowed his head and said, "I obey the order."

After eating, drinking and playing in the side hall for a few days, Mo Jinghe's injury is almost healed, although the swelling in the knee has not completely disappeared, but the clothes are spacious, although there is still some pain, but there is no abnormality when walking, this is the reason Go to pay your respects to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager was naturally happy to see him, and asked him warmly, and asked to tell the story of his trip to Xijin Kingdom. Mo Jinghe only picked out novel and interesting things to tell the Empress Dowager, which made the Empress Dowager laugh cheerfully. After the Queen Mother had another tea session, Mo Jinghe stood up and said goodbye.

"Empress Dowager, I have to go back early to pack up, and tomorrow I have to serve the emperor and go out to play."

Although it was mentioned by Mu Dongchu, the minister is still doing things for you honestly.

"You are cousins, you should be as close as you can. Besides, the emperor has been worried about the Northwest Plague these few days. You are safe. You can go out with the emperor to relax. You can only serve the emperor well." , don't make a mistake."

"I remember."

Mu Dongchu also thought about agreeing to Mo Jinghe's going out to play together, and the two hit it off immediately, Mo Jinghe ordered four hidden guards, and the two packed up their homely clothes and went out.

Before leaving, Mu Dongchu didn't forget to tell his servants: "If I don't come back tonight, I will tell those old officials that I have gone to the various yamen to have a look."

Mo Jinghe couldn't stand him very much, he dared to feel that the master was going out to play and refused to go to court, and he was trying to scare them.

"Where do you want to go, sir?"

"It's up to you."

Mo Jing and Na Ganzhen took him to a "fun" place, strolled around the street and then it was lunch time, and led Mu Dongchu to the restaurant he often went to.

"Mr. Mo San is here! I heard magpies crowing outside the house early this morning. I didn't expect Mr. Mo to come. The best private room on the second floor is vacant for you. Please invite inside."

The shopkeeper personally welcomed the person to the private room on the second floor and greeted him to order food.

Mo Jinghe respectfully let Mu Dongchu sit on the side seat, and said to the shopkeeper: "This is Mr. Mu Wu, a serious relative of the emperor, and I introduced him to order."

Mo Jinghe is also a relative of the emperor, but his surname is Mu, and usually he is the only one who lets Mo Jing and the eminent seat sit.

But there is no way to order this main dish...

Mo Jinghe didn't care, what the emperor ordered was what he ordered.

"Just go ahead."

The shopkeeper ordered him to go downstairs.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Mu Dongchu knew that he was not ordering the right way, but he is the emperor, so he is confident in everything he does!

"You agreed with him in advance, and there is still a private room available?"

"No matter how good the business is on weekdays, this room is empty. We have to wait for distinguished guests to entertain them. It's not specially prepared for us."

As he was talking, he heard the sound of persuading him to drink in the private room next door.

"Come on! I'll toast you again."

The voice is loud and bold.

Mu Dongchu took a sip of tea, and said: "The voice is Zuo Ronghua, what a coincidence, you go to the next door and have a look, invite them to come and have dinner together."

Mo Jing and Ying Nuo went to the next door.

Knocked on the door, just now the loud voice shouted: "Come in", Mo Jing and pushed the door into the private room, there were four people in the room, two dressed as warriors, one of them was General Zuo Ronghua, and two dressed as scribes, one of them is Xi Shaoliang.The other two have never been seen.

Xi Shaoliang drank two glasses of wine, his face was slightly tipsy, and he was pleasantly surprised to see Mo Jinghe coming in.

"Why are you here? Come, sit together. General Zuo, this is my friend Mo Jinghe."

Mo Jinghe bowed and said: "Master Xi is well, everyone is well, my son is having dinner in the private room next door, and he happened to hear General Zuo's voice, I want to make friends with you, how about going together?"

Xi Shaoliang was startled, Mo Jinghe was in charge of the Xiaohan Pavilion, and the Xiaohan Pavilion only obeyed the emperor's orders, and the identity of the person next door was self-evident if he could be worthy of Mo Jinghe calling him "Young Master".

Zuo Ronghua brought over the altar of wine: "Since you are a friend of Mr. Xi, you can say anything if you drink from this altar."

Mo Jinghe smiled wryly in his heart, as Zuo Ronghua would come to the altar after meeting like this, and the scene can be imagined, although there are four hidden guards around him at this moment, it is no better than being in the palace. Anyway, it's not just his life that matters.

Seeing this, Xi Shaoliang hurriedly came over to persuade him: "General Zuo, since this friend came out with his young master, it's really business, so it's inconvenient to drink, I hope General Zuo will forgive me."

"The one who pushes back and forth, even said that he wants to make friends with us, and he won't make friends if he doesn't drink."

Mo Jinghe smiled, suddenly felt that his boyishness was somewhat similar to Mu Dongchu, took the wine jar and gulped it down.

"Young master is waiting next door, everyone please."

Zuo Ronghua smiled and said: "Hey, you are interesting, let's go, let's meet this friend."

Mo Jinghe led the four of them to the private room next door.

Zuo Ronghua saw that the person sitting high on the throne was not the current Holy Majesty, he was about to kneel down and salute, but Mu Dongchu said with a smile: "General Zuo, don't come here without any problems, come and sit near."

Mo Jinghe let the four of them sit down in order of preference, and went down by himself and asked for some more food and wine. When he came back, Mu Dongchu had already had a drink with Zuo Ronghua.

I was listening to Zuo Ronghua's persuasion: "If a man doesn't drink, he will go on in vain. If a man doesn't drink, he will live like a dog. If a man doesn't drink, he will live like an eunuch. If a man doesn't drink, he will have no good friends."

I silently admired it in my heart: his battle-tested fate is by no means comparable to his own.

When Xi Shaoliang saw Mo Jinghe come in, he greeted him and sat there. There was a man dressed as a scribe sitting next to Xi Shaoliang. He heard Xi Shaoliang introduce: "This is General Zuo Ronghua's staff, Lu Linjiang, styled Zihua " Then introduced to Lu Linjiang: "This is... the cousin who lives in Xiayuan, Mo Jinghe."

Lu Linjiang said: "Mo's house in Qingdu?"

Xi Shaoliang should be, but Lu Linjiang said oh, and then stopped talking.

Mo Jinghe had a bottom line in his heart, Zuo Ronghua never made a clear stand in court, but judging from the attitudes of Zuo Ronghua and Lu Linjiang today, Zuo Ronghua probably belonged to the emperor's faction between the emperor and the queen mother.

Suddenly remembered that Taiyou once said to him: "You were born in the Mo family, and the honor and disgrace of your life will be closely related to the Mo family. There will be eggs under the nest, so you can do it yourself." He raised his head and took a sip of wine.

Xi Shaoliang added wine to Mo Jing and Bucai, Mo Jing thanked him warmly, talking with Xi Shaoliang on one side, but paying attention to the emperor on the other side.

Mu Dongchu felt like he was pinching with Zuo Ronghua. There were several jars of wine piled up on the table, and the two of them continued to call out for wine. They made a fuss all afternoon, and finally got drunk with Zuo Ronghua, who claimed that a thousand cups could never be poured. , the emperor was still in high spirits and dispersed for the ending.

Mo Jinghe, who was thinking that he would never be able to escape back to the palace with Mu Dongchu, had an inexplicable sense of pride that the emperor was very worthy.

Zuo Ronghua's carriage was waiting outside, Mo Jinghe sent the four of them to the gate, Lu Linjiang bid farewell for the unconscious Zuo Ronghua, and helped them to the carriage with another staff member.

Xi Shaoliang said: "Although I don't know why the emperor and you left the palace in subdued clothes, the courtiers should do their best to please the emperor's heart in the court, and how long will it be good? Historians stick to the straight book and it doesn't work well in the end."

Mo Jing said softly that he is probably the only one in the world who can persuade me like this, and said with a smile, "Well, I made a note of it."
