Little Chef [Rebirth]

The peach tree planted in the courtyard is like the peach tree planted in the courtyard of the house in Nancheng. The branches are dotted with greenery. fruit.

There is a stone table and a stone bench under the peach tree. It would be perfect to sit there and watch the moon on a summer night.

"Do you still like it?" Originally, there were several houses that were more luxurious and spacious than this one, but Mo Fanyu immediately fell in love with this one because of the peach tree in the main courtyard.

"Yeah." With bright eyes, Ning Xiuyuan nodded vigorously, he really liked it.

"Then let's continue watching." Holding Ning Xiuyuan's hand with a smile, Mo Fanyu pushed open the door of the main room and led him inside.

Since this mansion was just given to Mo Fanyu this morning, other places have not had time to decorate, but the main courtyard and master bedroom have already been ordered to tidy up.

Pulling him to the side of the bed, Mo Fanyu's tone was a little smug, and he pointed with a smile on the double-Longxi quilt that he specially ordered to put on the bed, with some anticipation in his eyes: "Xiao Yuan, how about the wedding candles in our bridal chamber tonight?" ?”

"..." Startled, after realizing, Ning Xiuyuan coughed twice, and quickly turned his face away, not looking at Mo Fanyu who was looking at him expectantly.

His cheeks were slightly red, his eyes flickered, and after deliberating for a while, he frowned slightly and said: "...Xiao Yu, you are still too young."

"I'm not young anymore." Mo Fanyu was not satisfied with the reason at all, the prince was already able to accept several concubines at the age of 15.

"But it's not too big." Ning Xiuyuan finally suppressed the heat on his face, and looked directly at Mo Fanyu, with a strong sense of ridicule in his eyes: "You are so small, how can I make a move?"

"..."

After saying this, it was Mo Fanyu's turn to be dazed for a while, he puffed up his cheeks, although he was depressed, but in the end he didn't mention this matter anymore.

Because indeed, he was in no hurry.

—

The mansion had already been granted, so they did not go back to live in Mo's mansion.

It was getting late, and after they finished watching the main courtyard, Ning Xiuyuan asked Mo Fanyu to take him to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When the two came to the kitchen, the invited cook was already busy.

Seeing Mo Fanyu's arrival, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing, knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Get up, get on with your work."

After getting them all to stand up, Mo Fanyu followed Ning Xiuyuan like a little tail. He even started fighting, lit a fire and washed the vegetables. The other cooks opened their mouths wide, with expressions of disbelief——

They all wondered in their hearts, who is this person, who can actually ask the dignified prince to help him.

Although he knew that his behavior would definitely attract attention, Mo Fanyu still went his own way and did it happily. He even blinked his eyes every time he finished something, looking at Ning Xiuyuan looking for praise, full of majesty like before. The look doesn't match at all.

"..." Ning Xiuyuan didn't know how to react at all.

After repeated persuasion, Mo Fanyu still insisted on not leaving, a little helpless, Ning Xiuyuan could only face all kinds of gazes around him expressionlessly, and simply cook quickly, only focusing on the food in front of him.

He hadn't tasted spicy food for nearly half a month, and seeing such a complete range of ingredients, he couldn't bear it anymore, so Ning Xiuyuan stretched out his hand, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he grabbed a handful of peppers and washed them Clean and set aside.

All the cooks: "..." So many peppers!

When they thought that there were so many chili peppers to make all the dishes, when they saw the following scene, their eyes widened again, their heads went blank, and they were completely dumbfounded——

So many peppers actually made only one dish!

A few cooks who don't eat spicy food couldn't help but ran out when Ning Xiuyuan put the chili into the pot to fry, but they were still choked and sneezed, very embarrassed.

After finally stopping their coughing, they looked at the cooks who couldn't help running out one after another, they gloated in their hearts, hoping that the sixth prince would also run out unbearably, and then apologise for Ning Xiuyuan's crime.

But these cooks could only be disappointed, because until the end, they didn't see the sixth prince come out, but they waited until a few maids were called in, and then they left with the same dish.

The smell is so delicious that these chefs who have been cooking delicacies from mountains and seas all day can't help but sniff their noses and poke their heads to see those dishes.

But nature is invisible.

Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, the combination is very reasonable.

The two of them were eating when they saw someone rushing to report that someone had come to visit.

The sticking out chopsticks stopped, and Mo Fanyu asked, "Who is it?"

The servant lowered his head and replied cautiously: "He said he is your fourth brother, Your Highness."

Hearing this, he withdrew his hand, Mo Fanyu pondered for a moment, and said, "Go invite him in."

Ning Xiuyuan also stopped his chopsticks, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Yu, what is he doing here?"

"I don't know either." Shaking his head, Mo Fanyu himself didn't know either.

His four brothers have always traveled around the world and never missed the point of business. Even his father was very disappointed in him and never interfered with him. Although they are brothers, they don't have a deep relationship. Visiting is unreasonable.

The two were silent, and after a while, the servant who had gone out just now led a young man in. The man was dressed in white, handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand, his bright eyes were narrowed slightly, and his face was full of smiles. With a faint smile, his appearance is handsome and extraordinary, and he looks gentle and elegant.

Stepping into the house, Mo Yanting waved his hands, signaling the servants leading the way to retreat, and he sat down naturally: "Sixth brother, I heard that you returned safely, and fourth brother came to see you."

For Mo Yanting, Mo Fanyu didn't like much, so after hearing what he said, he slightly curled his lips and said, "Thank you, fourth brother."

"I thought the sixth brother would not welcome me to come here uninvited. It seems that I was too worried." Hearing the fourth brother, Mo Yanting smiled, and then he turned his head to the other side and said: "You Is it Ning Xiuyuan?"

Nodding his head, Ning Xiuyuan replied, "I am."

Nodding his head slightly, Mo Yanting glanced at the dishes on the table, and then turned his attention back to Mo Fanyu. He touched his stomach, and asked with a smile: "It seems that I came by coincidence, I can stay Shall I have dinner with you?"

"If the fourth brother doesn't dislike it, let's eat together." After a while, Mo Fanyu replied.After he finished speaking, he called a maid and asked her to bring an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

☆, Chapter 54

After dinner, Mo Yanting and Mo Fanyu went to the study together. He sat in the lower seat, sipping the tea in his hand leisurely.

Putting down his teacup, he smiled and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I tasted such a delicious meal. I don't know which cook made it. I will invite him to my mansion to teach the cook there someday."

Mo Fanyu was also tasting tea. Hearing this, he put down his teacup and looked up at him with deep black eyes, "Brother Sihuang was joking, with Xiaoyuan's cooking skills, how could he be able to fight in front of those royal chefs in your mansion."

After hearing Mo Fanyu's words, Mo Yanting looked thoughtfully at Ning Xiuyuan who was sitting next to him without saying a word, then shook his head, and said with regret, "Since this meal belongs to Mr. Ning, Craftsmanship, then of course I can't invite it, it seems that if you want to taste this taste again in the future, you can only come to Sixth Brother with a cheeky face."

After finishing speaking, he paused, thought for a while and asked again: "Sixth brother, you should not be unwelcome, right?"

Lowering his head, Ning Xiuyuan had an embarrassing expression on his face. He thought to himself, is it really okay to ask for a meal so rationally and vigorously?And you have said it so bluntly, can Xiao Yu still refuse?Besides, you are still brothers.

Sure enough, after he finished thinking this way, he heard Mo Fanyu reply in the next second: "Naturally, fourth brother is welcome."

"..." Look.

Mo Yanting was obviously satisfied with Mo Fanyu's answer, the smile on his face deepened a lot, he turned his head to look at Ning Xiuyuan again, and continued to ask: "I don't think Young Master Ning will mind?"

"..." You said you mind, so you won't come?

Naturally, these words cannot be said out loud, so on the surface, Ning Xiuyuan still smiled politely, and replied modestly: "Of course not, it is my honor that the Fourth Highness likes my cooking skills."

"That's good." Mo Yanting smiled, with a little joy in his tone.

Afterwards, everyone fell silent. The three of them lowered their heads, their thoughts were spinning, and they were all thinking about problems. The study room was quiet for a while. If a needle fell from the ground at this time, they might be able to hear the sound.

After a while, Mo Fanyu brushed the teacup with his fingertips, breaking the silent atmosphere. He raised his head, and no longer beat around the bush with Mo Yanting, but asked his own question directly.

"Fourth brother is here tonight, not just to see me, is it? You come, what's the matter, let's talk about it now."

Raising his hand to rub the bridge of his tall nose, Mo Yanting smiled, looked around, and finally revealed his purpose for coming today after making sure that there was no one else.

"Sixth brother, you are still as smart as ever. You guessed right. I came today because I really want to tell you something."

Noticing Mo Yanting's cautiousness, Mo Fanyu tapped the table with his left hand and said, "There is no one else here, fourth brother, tell me."

Hearing this, Mo Yanting's eyes fell on Ning Xiuyuan, he smiled and said, "Can I ask Mr. Ning to leave for a while, and I will talk to my sixth brother about something."

"Well, good." Nodding, Ning Xiuyuan stood up and was about to leave the study. Although he was curious, he knew what they were going to talk about, so it was better not to know.

But before he could take a step, Mo Fanyu grabbed his wrist and sat down again: "Xiao Yuan is not an outsider, he can know everything." He knew that his fourth brother must know the relationship between them. There is a relationship between them, so there is no concealment.

Seeing this, Mo Yanting no longer persisted, he shrugged his shoulders: "In this case, let's sit down and listen together... Well, besides, this matter also has a great relationship with Mr. Ning, let's listen together, That's fine too."

When Mo Fanyu heard this, he frowned, and asked, "What is the fourth brother trying to say? How could it have something to do with Xiaoyuan?"

Mo Yanting made a gesture to signal him to be calm, and then he pondered for a while before slowly saying: "Actually, I came today to tell you that my elder brother wants to frame you at the Hundred Flowers Banquet." .”

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is a banquet set up to celebrate the top three champions in the palace examination. The time is set for the first ten days of June. On that day, the emperor will personally hold a banquet in the imperial garden for civil and military officials. Officials will bring their family members to participate.

This day is also an important occasion for the empress to find a concubine for the unmarried princes. However, all official daughters in the [-]s and [-]s will dress up and enter the palace gate full of shyness and maiden's dreams. I can be selected, and once I fly into the sky and turn into a phoenix, I will have a prominent position and enjoy endless glory and wealth.

As for the current princes, only the fourth prince Mo Yanting and the sixth prince Mo Fanyu have reached their age but have not yet married. Therefore, this Hundred Flowers Banquet is also prepared for them to find the concubine.

Hearing this, Mo Fanyu was silent for a moment, and then said with a serious expression: "Where did the fourth brother get this news, not to mention that I and the eldest brother are brothers, how could he harm me."

Although Mo Yanting never harmed him, being in the royal family, family affection is just a luxury. He doesn't trust Mo Yanting, so he doesn't mention Mo Zhaosi's thoughts on him all the time.

Mo Yanting raised his eyebrows, and didn't care about Mo Fanyu's vigilance and vigilance. He chuckled and said, "I know that you don't trust me, sixth brother, but if I tell you, how many times have you been killed?" I sent people to help you out of danger, would you believe it?"

"Fourth brother, do you have evidence for what you said?" Mo Fanyu was skeptical. He was killed several times, and someone secretly helped him out of danger. Let his soul go back to the west, and he can't save himself from danger again and again.

Raising his hand to support his chin, Mo Yanting suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes were a little blank, he thought for a while, and then slowly told the story of the past.

In fact, Mo Yanting can't remember why he wanted to help the sixth brother in front of him in the first place. They are not familiar with each other, and the relationship is not close.But maybe it was because he didn't want this younger brother to repeat his mistakes, not to mention that he also had a deep hatred for Mo Zhaosi.

He was smart and sensitive since he was a child, and he could tell that although his elder brother was kind to him on the surface and treated him very well, he hated him in secret.

Although he took precautions carefully, but he was still young, and there were still omissions. However, although this negligence did not kill him, it did kill his mother and concubine.

Mo Yanting's concubine mother is the virtuous concubine among the four concubines. Just like her title, she is virtuous and virtuous, as gentle and charming as a Jiangnan woman. She doesn't have much desire, she just wants her child to grow up safely.

However, she did not see Mo Yanting grow up, but fell asleep forever when he was 15 years old.

After tracing it bit by bit, although Mo Yanting knew it was Mo Zhaosi's hands, he was depressed that there was no evidence at hand. Although he hated it in his heart, he had to bury this hatred deeply in his heart, and followed him. The wishes of the concubine mother, to live well.

That is to say, this time, his personality changed suddenly, he was no longer the handsome fourth prince, but turned into a romantic prince lingering in the flowers. The son and the young master are messing around, and they have completely degenerated.

Sure enough, he became like this, and his father was very disappointed in him, and he no longer had a good face, so Mo Zhaosi stopped attacking him. Although his expression was saddened by his change, and he always advised him, but he knew, Mo Zhaosi was very happy in private.

Mo Yanting acted seriously, until one day, Lu Xun told him that Mo Zhaosi was going to kill his sixth younger brother.

After thinking for a long time by himself, he made a decision.

On the one hand, he ordered Lu Xun to do it, and on the other hand, he found someone to deliberately sabotage it. He did this kind of help again and again. For three whole years, Mo Zhaosi persevered in harming Mo Fanyu, but he failed every time. .

Only last time, when Mo Fanyu traveled abroad, he was almost out of reach, but simply because his sixth brother was very lucky, even if he didn't make a move, he was still safe and sound.

"Mr. Ning was almost taken away before, and it was I who helped him. In order not to reveal his identity, he had to put Mr. Ning by the wall. I'm really sorry." Mo Yanting bowed his hands to Ning Xiuyuan, Said.

"No, I still need to thank His Highness Fourth for saving his life." Quickly standing up and returning the salute, Ning Xiuyuan finally understood why he was just thrown on the side of the road after being knocked unconscious.

"What about the shepherd who rushed out on the road last time?" Mo Fanyu asked him.

Mo Fanyu smiled and replied, "That's mine too."

Hearing this, Mo Fanyu's original three-point trust has now become ten-tenth. Although he doesn't know what Mo Yanting's plan is, it is an undeniable fact that he has saved himself so many times.

After listening to Ning Xiuyuan, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold Mo Fanyu's hand next to him, as if to give encouragement. At the same time, knowing that Mo Yanting had saved his little Yu many times, looking at Mo Yanting's expression at this time Also a lot softer.

Holding Ning Xiuyuan's hand instead, Mo Fanyu still frowned, and he asked, "But fourth brother, what do you say have anything to do with Xiaoyuan?"

Mo Yanting nodded unhurriedly and said, "It does matter."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and continued, "Tomorrow, Mo Zhaosi will report to the emperor, and Mr. Ning will be the chef of the Hundred Flowers Banquet. At that time, he will order people to poison those dishes, and use This framed you."

"Father will never agree." Mo Fanyu said firmly.

The head chef of the Hundred Flowers Banquet has always been the imperial chef, how could the chef be changed casually this time, and he is still an unknown chef.

"No, father will agree." Mo Yanting shook his head and continued: "Mo Zhaosi's mother, also our mother, spent a long time in Sichuan when she was young. It was because of her father's promotion that she came to the imperial city, and married into the palace at the age of 16. Although there is no love between her and her father, there is always a friendship after many years of companionship. The emperor will still satisfy her."

Mo Fanyu tightly held Ning Xiuyuan's hand, while the other hand was clenched into a fist. At this moment, his thoughts went blank: "Then fourth brother, is there any way to stop it? Xiaoyuan must not go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet." .”

"Sixth brother, in fact, this is the idea I ordered someone to tell Mo Zhaosi." Mo Yanting looked at Mo Fanyu's worried face, fell silent for a while, and then said suddenly.

Hearing this, Mo Fanyu's expression changed, he stood up abruptly, walked up to Mo Yanting and stretched out his hand to grab his lapel, angrily said: "What do you mean?"

Not angry because of this, Mo Yanting looked apologetic, and he explained: "This idea is indeed very bad, but it can't be used to deal with Mo Zhaosi."

"Because of your feelings for Mr. Ning, if you use Mr. Ning as a bait, he will definitely be hooked, and he won't think about it. I just need to follow the plan and push the crime back on him, and he will have no chance of turning over. "

Having said that, he paused, and continued: "After all, killing the king is a serious crime. Even if all the officials plead for his life, the emperor will never forgive him lightly."

Seeing that Mo Fanyu's black eyes were still bottomless, and the expression on his face did not loosen, Mo Yanting gave a wry smile, closed his eyes, and said in a melancholy tone, "Sixth Brother, I have been waiting for this opportunity for too long. , I want to avenge my mother and concubine. I want to give him a head-on blow when he is most proud, let him fall into hell, and there is no possibility of turning over, so even if you think I am despicable, I will not give up. "

Opening his eyes again, he looked directly into Mo Fanyu's eyes, his eyes were firm and persistent, and he said: "If you want me to give up, unless, you kill me."

"I will kill you." After the words fell, Mo Fanyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the hand that was holding Mo Yanting's lapel was loosened and moved to his neck, and gradually tightened.

——He can't stand Xiao Yuan who wants to hurt him, so Mo Yanting deserves to die!

Ning Xiuyuan, who was in shock, finally came back to his senses. He quickly stood up and ran to Mo Fanyu's side, patting Mo Fanyu's back lightly with his palm, trying to calm him down.

"Xiao Yuan, let go of your hand, His Royal Highness's complexion is already very ugly." Ning Xiuyuan persuaded with worry on his face, seeing that Mo Fanyu had lost his mind and couldn't listen to his own words, and Mo Yanting was on the verge of dying Rolling his eyes, gritting his teeth, he stretched out his hand to touch the other person's face, took a deep breath, and kissed her.

Gently holding Mo Fanyu's lips, Ning Xiuyuan carefully kissed him once and for all. He watched Mo Fanyu's expression without blinking, and saw that his fierce expression had eased a little, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes. It gradually dissipated, and the hand pinching Mo Yanting's neck was gradually released, and his sanity had returned, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mo Yanting really died here, something will happen. Killing a brother is a serious crime, even if Mo Fanyu is the prince, he cannot be exempted from responsibility.

Taking a step back, Ning Xiuyuan looked at Mo Fanyu and saw that although he was still expressionless, he had calmed down a little, so he took his hand and returned to his seat to sit down.

☆, Chapter 55

Mo Yanting had just walked in the Palace of the King of Hades, and now he was clutching his neck, still in shock, his face was pale, but within a short while, his previous smile returned to his face, undiminished.

With a hoarse voice, he smiled and said, "Sixth brother, you didn't kill me."

Mo Fanyu looked at him coldly: "I really want to kill you." He did not hide his killing intent at all, and his tone was extremely cold.

"Little Yu, calm down." Ning Xiuyuan frowned and tried to smooth things over. He pressed the back of Mo Fanyu's bulging hand, shook his head at Mo Fanyu, and then turned his head to look at Mo Fanyu, who was pale but still on the face. Mo Yanting was very calm.

Without the good temper he had before, he frowned, and said coldly: "Since the Fourth Highness has already cut the fight first, then the time must have been calculated. At this moment, the eldest prince should have asked the empress to blow the wind into His Majesty's ears, right? Even if we don't want to help, I'm afraid it's too late, isn't it."

Since it can't be stopped, even killing Mo Yanting now won't help, so it's better to think about it carefully, how can this plan continue——

To really pull Mo Zhaosi down, we must ensure the safety of all of them.

Mo Yanting was startled, then laughed, and he praised: "Young Master Ning is a sensible person." His idea never left Ning Xiuyuan and Mo Fanyu any possibility of going back on their word, he knew that at this moment It was too late to stop it, so I spoke out.

Of course, he also needed the cooperation of Mo Fanyu and Ning Xiuyuan, otherwise he couldn't do it by himself.

Ning Xiuyuan pondered for a while, and he said: "If the Fourth Highness can come up with this idea, there must be a way to deal with it. You said that your purpose is to follow the plan, so should you tell me, what should I do? "

Mo Yanting shook his head, and said, "You don't need to do anything, as long as you perform normally and prepare the meals for the banquet, I will let others arrange the rest."

Hearing this, Ning Xiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief. If he really wanted him to do something, it would be a real embarrassment for him. He had never been in the palace. As long as he had no one with him in such a big place, he should If you are going to get lost, you don't need him to do anything to suit him.

"Then what should I do?" Trying to restrain the rising anger in his heart, Mo Fanyu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke when he heard this, and his reason returned. He already knew that this matter was a certainty, and he couldn't help it. Change--

Although the anger was to the extreme, but since this matter has been confirmed, he is powerless, so he can only retreat and hide this anger in his heart for the time being. The most important thing is to think about how to protect him. Good for his Xiaoyuan.

Hearing this, Mo Yanting looked at him and said, "Sixth brother, what you need to do is to get rid of the fact that Mo Zhaosi colluded with all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River and cooperated with the salt merchants to sell private salt and that he and the Minister of the Ministry of War secretly hid weapons before the Hundred Flowers Banquet." All the evidence has been collected." His eldest brother is really too bold, and when he got the news, he was also extremely shocked.

He stopped to think for a while, and then continued: "I have sent people to investigate before, and they have some clues, I will let them all obey your command, no matter what, you must be in the only half a month. , Bring all the evidence and witnesses into the imperial city."

"Okay, I see." Nodding his head, Mo Fanyu replied.

Mo Yanting nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sixth brother, this is the first thing you need to do, and there is one more thing that you must do well."

Raising his eyes to glance at him, Mo Fanyu's complexion was not good: "Say it."

The smile on Mo Yanting's face gradually subsided, and he said seriously: "Sixth Brother, you need..." He slowly stated the whole plan and the key points of its implementation without reservation, and finally, he seriously He said calmly: "Sixth brother, this last link is the most critical. It is directly related to the safety of all of us, including Mr. Ning, so you must keep it in mind."

After listening, Mo Fanyu's expression became even uglier, he stared at Mo Yanting fiercely, and warned fiercely: "If Xiaoyuan hurts a hair, then I will definitely not let you go."

"I know." Mo Yanting raised his right hand with an extremely serious expression, "I swear, after the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I will return Mr. Ning to you intact, if not, I will let you dispose of it as you like, even You want my life, I will not blink."

—

Sending Mo Yanting away, Mo Fanyu had a sullen expression on his face, and sent away their servants who carried the lamp. He dragged Ning Xiuyuan back to the room.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Mo Fanyu's expression was still very gloomy.

Ning Xiuyuan stood at the door and watched for a while, then sighed slightly, walked up to Mo Fanyu and sat down, and said, "Little Yu, don't be angry."

"Xiaoyuan." Mo Fanyu looked up at him, with a little guilt in his eyes: "I said I would protect you and not let anyone hurt you... But, I broke my promise."

"You didn't break your promise." Ning Xiuyuan hugged him with his arms, leaned his head on his arms, and asked with a smile, "Look, I've been safe and sound until now, right?"

"But..." Mo Fanyu's face was still ugly, and he frowned tightly.

"Don't keep frowning, you'll grow old." Ning Xiuyuan raised his hand, gently rubbed away Mo Fanyu's frowning brows, and smiled: "It's okay, I believe you. I know that on the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet , you will also protect me."

His heart was so soft, Mo Fanyu pursed his lips, and hugged the waist of the person in his arms tightly, wishing to rub the person into his own flesh and blood.

He buried his cheek into Ning Xiuyuan's neck, and delicately kissed the skin there one after another. He didn't open his mouth, but his hug contained all his emotions.

The two hugged quietly for a while. After a long time, Ning Xiuyuan raised his hand and pushed the chest in front of him. Mo Fanyu let go of his hand. The two let go of each other and sat on the bed facing each other.

Yawning, Ning Xiuyuan was a little tired.

"If you're sleepy, Xiao Yuan should rest first." After Mo Fanyu finished speaking, he got up and got out of bed.

"Wait." Grasping Mo Fanyu's wrist, Ning Xiuyuan looked at him with clear eyes, "Where is Xiaoyu going?"

Turning his head, Mo Fanyu said, "I'll go outside for a walk."

"Then I'll be with you." He worried that Mo Fanyu would think wildly when he was alone.

"Forget it, I'm not going." Stopping Ning Xiuyuan from getting up, Mo Fanyu rolled onto the bed, took off his coat, leaving only his inner shirt, lay down on the outer bunk and hugged him tightly, sighed softly, He said, "Sleep."

After struggling for a while, he found that the hand holding him was tightening more and more, so Ning Xiuyuan hooked the corner of his mouth helplessly, and whispered: "Xiao Yu, let me get up first."

"No." Kissing the person in his arms on the cheek, Mo Fanyu said: "Didn't Xiaoyuan say he was sleepy, go to sleep."

Ning Xiuyuan: "..." A little dumbfounded, but his clothes hadn't been taken off yet, and his hair hadn't been let down yet, so it wasn't comfortable to fall asleep like this.

Seemingly aware of something, Mo Fanyu lifted the quilt, lowered his head, took a look, then let go of his hand, and said, "Go and take off your clothes."

Shaking his head amusingly, Ning Xiuyuan sat up, first took off his coat, then took off his hair, put the clothes and headband beside him, and then lay down again.

At this time, the oil lamp has been extinguished, and the side of the house is dark.

Ning Xiuyuan's eyes were wide open. Although he was tired, he suddenly couldn't fall asleep for some reason.

Lying on his back on the bed, Ning Xiuyuan blinked his eyes, thought for a while, then turned over again, rolled back into Mo Fanyu's arms, pressed his face against the other's chest, feeling the warmth of this embrace , sleepiness finally struck again.

A night without dreams.

********

Just as Mo Yanting expected, after the early court, Mo Zhaosi went to the imperial study to make a request, but Hedi only thought about it for a moment, and then readily agreed without thinking deeply.

"Fuquan, order someone to draw up an order." Calling in the personal eunuch, Hedi said.

"Yes, I will do it now, slave." Fuquan took the order and turned to leave.

Hedi thought for a while, and then said: "The imperial decree has been drafted, so you should go and issue it yourself."

As soon as Fuquan rolled his eyes, he knew the deep meaning. He nodded respectfully and replied, "I understand."

Watching Fuquan leave, Mo Zhaosi lowered his head, his eyes flashed viciously, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer. He wanted to see if his sixth younger brother had such good luck this time that he could survive again. in difficulty.

"Zhaosi, maybe you haven't visited your mother, she complained to me yesterday that you haven't visited her for a long time, is there anything else for you?" He Di put down the wolf howl in his hand and asked aloud.

"My son is fine." Looking up, Mo Zhaosi had already lost the expression on his face just now.

Emperor He nodded and said: "So, you can go with me to see your mother." After finishing speaking, he had already stood up.

The words are divided into two parts.

On this side, because Mo Fanyu and Ning Xiuyuan woke up late last night because they slept a little late yesterday.

After washing up and eating the breakfast carefully prepared by the cook, the two of them sat in the lobby to discuss how to arrange the mansion. Yesterday was only one day too hasty, and the mansion has not been tidied up except for the main courtyard. .

He ordered the servant girl to clean up first, while the two of them faced each other, planning their future home bit by bit.

After discussing for half an hour, Mo Fanyu finally drew a rough sketch.

Ning Xiuyuan was staring at this sketch with rapt attention, when a servant came to report in a hurry, interrupting a place he had just seen that needed to be revised.

Mo Fanyu turned his head to look at the servant, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, several adults have come outside the door, saying that they are coming to deliver the decree."

Hearing this, Mo Fanyu and Ning Xiuyuan looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Although they had made preparations last night, they did not expect this decree to come so quickly.

Quickly stood up, adjusted the position of the clothes, Mo Fanyu took Ning Xiuyuan's hand, and walked straight out of the lobby.

Outside, Fuquan was standing at the door, and when he saw Mo Fanyu walking over with Ning Xiuyuan, he saluted Mo Fanyu respectfully, and said in a high-pitched voice, "I have seen His Highness the Sixth Highness."
