When Qin Hanzhen was dressed up and came to the upper room in the main courtyard, Zhao Mo had already coaxed Qin Bai and the Niu family into laughter.

He was coquettish with the Niu family, saying that he had basically stayed in the palace for the past two days, and although the emperor and the prince had given him food, he was not used to it, and he did not dare to eat a lot. But when he returned to the Liao Palace, the cook was not to his liking, and the dishes he made were lackluster. He can eat enough now, but his appetite is not good at all, his food is not fragrant, and he misses the food here in the third room of the Qin family in the past.

Hearing this, Niu Shi said distressedly: "It's pitiful, the food in the palace looks good, but in fact, the taste is not very good." The soup and water are good to say, it is hot and can be eaten, but it is easy to eat. The meat is all made with the same taste, and there are no fresh vegetables. I heard your uncle and grandfather say that this is because they are afraid that the nobles in the palace are used to eating fresh things, so they have to eat them all day long, not in the season, and if the imperial kitchen can't take them, they will be unlucky, so they would rather let the nobles eat something that is not very fresh. A dish requires more than ten or twenty processes, which looks cumbersome and exquisite, but in fact, even the original taste of the dish is gone. When I eat, it's not as comfortable as eating at home. As for the cooks of your royal palace, let alone that. If he is capable, how could he be left in the capital for so many years? I went to the Liaodong palace to wait for the prince and princess!"

After she buried a round of imperial food in the palace, she repeatedly instructed the girls to go to the kitchen to spread the word, today's two meals are made Zhao Mo's favorite dishes, favorite snacks, and by the way, stew a pot of soup that he loves to eat and has a nourishing effect: "Look at you these days, you can't eat or drink well, everyone has lost weight, you have to make up for it." ”

Qin Han was speechless in his heart. Where is Zhao Mo not eating and drinking? He just had a big meal in Qianweiju the day before yesterday. Besides, the Imperial Diet Beef is not used to eating, but it is not really delicious, it is still okay to eat two meals occasionally, many dishes have not been seen, and it is good to eat a rarity. No matter how bad the chef of the Liao Wangfu is, if he can sit firmly in this position, he will not even be able to get a few specialty dishes. If Zhao Mo really doesn't like to eat, it would be good to transfer a cook from his own county king's mansion, and it would be a day's journey quickly, and it would be two or three days to walk slowly. He has been back in Beijing for so long, is he still afraid that he will not be able to eat a good meal? If he can't eat at home, he will go to the restaurant. Now he is no longer a helpless little pitiful, with power and money, who can starve him?

After all, don't you want to spend more time in the Yongjiahou Mansion?

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips, stepped forward to greet his grandfather and grandmother, and greeted Zhao Mo again.

Zhao Mo smiled and bowed to her, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he still smiled: "I brought good things to my cousin." When my cousin saw this, she would be overjoyed. ”

Qin Hanzhen tilted his head: "What is it?"

Zhao Mo smiled, didn't speak, and even sold Guan Zi again.

Qin Han really glanced at him angrily, walked over to Niu's side and sat down.

Zhao Mo's purpose for coming here was not really to accompany his uncle, grandfather, and grandmother. He chatted with them about some family matters, and wanted to find an excuse to talk to Qin Hanzhen elsewhere, but was called to the study by Qin Bai. Although Qin Bai knew what he had been busy with in the fiefdom in the past few years, and also knew that he was gradually no longer keen on calligraphy and painting, he still grasped his homework very tightly and often persuaded him to read more. Reading can make people reasonable, and it is especially important for Zhao Mo, who is young and uneducated. Qin Bai hoped that he would not lose his normal heart because he was treated unfairly by his father and instantly became a prince and rich.

After listening to Qin Bai's words, Zhao Mo gradually calmed down. He's certainly not going to be that kind of person. Although he lost his mother and was treated unfairly by his father, he has the care of Qin Bai and Niu's two elders, the prince often asks him about his daily life, and he has good friends like Qin Jian and Qin Hanzhen...... He felt that his life was very good and his life was very happy. Although he also has an uneasy father and stepmother, who constantly remind him not to take it lightly and need to be on the lookout for someone to do trouble, he is not dissatisfied with his life. Compared to when he first met the ancestors of the Qin family five years ago, he felt that he had become more confident and cheerful now.

Therefore, Qin Bai said these words to him because he really cared for him. Zhao Mo was grateful in his heart, and he would never be impatient for a moment, but felt that he seemed to have neglected his uncle and grandfather a lot when he went to Beijing this time, and he only thought about Cousin Qin. This is not right, and he should reflect on it. So, he honestly accompanied Qin Bai to talk in the study for more than an hour, endorsing books, listening to lectures, and finally wrote a few words for Qin Bai to see, and accepted the comments of his uncle and grandfather.

Naturally, the reviews are not too nice. He has been alone in the fief for the past few years, and he has indeed been a little slack in his homework, and he relies on himself to be a little smart, which is far less diligent than the two years he lived in the third room of the Qin family. He promised Qin Bai that when he was free during his stay in Beijing, he would read more books, practice more calligraphy, and when he returned to the fiefdom, he would not be able to leave his homework behind. Learning this kind of thing, as Cousin Qin said, live to be old, learn to be old, and learn to have things in your hands is your own, and what others have is not as good as your own. When will it be possible that what you have learned will come in handy?

After lunch, Qin Bai and the two elders of the Niu family wanted to rest, Zhao Mo used the excuse of going to Dongfu to find Qin Jian, Qin Hanzhen showed him the way, and the two of them had time to be alone.

It's still in the garden, it's still in the phoenix.

The weather is much warmer today, the sun is still shining, and the wind has stopped. Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo sat down side by side in the Xuanzhong, watching the scenery through the glass window, Feng'er stayed outside the Xuanzhong to stand in a sheltered place, and they could be seen sitting opposite each other in the Xuanzhong, at least more than a foot apart. It's just that no one saw that under the window, Zhao Mo quietly stretched out a hand and pressed a few of her fingers under the cover of Qin Hanzhen's cloak.

Qin Hanzhen tilted his head and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Don't move your hands and feet, are you relying on me not to tell anyone?"

Zhao Mo also tilted his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "In the past, when I touched my cousin's hand, my cousin would only blush, and she looked more and more cute." Now it's because I'm much closer to my cousin, so it's not uncommon for my cousin to be rare?

Qin Hanzhen really wanted to smack him this time: "You used to blush when you touched my hand a little, how innocent you look." Now it's become more and more lip-stricken, and it's becoming more and more shameless. And he asked me why I was spitting you, and if I didn't, you would have to get an inch. Isn't that a hooligan? What do you think of me?!"

Zhao Mo hurriedly changed his color: "I naturally regard my cousin as the most important person, and I have already decided in my heart that I want to be with my cousin for the rest of my life, and I will never dare to play any hooligan." I am...... Can't help but get close to my cousin. His face flushed slightly, "It's not ...... Even if I touch my cousin's finger a little, my heart is happy. His fingers gently pinched Qin Hanzhen's fingertips with some hesitation, and the flush spread from the root of his ears to his neck.

Qin Hanzhen's ears were also hot when he heard this, and his face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't withdraw his fingers, just hid under the cloak, fiddling with him, and then lowered his head and whispered, "Let's get down to business." Have you told the prince about it when you entered the palace?"

"It's been said. "Back to business, Zhao Mo also felt a little more comfortable, and Qin Hanzhen did not refuse his touch, which also made him extremely happy, and his tone of voice became positive, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that we are very careful, and he actually noticed that something was wrong, but it was not as detailed and thoughtful as we found." I reproduced the contents of the table you drew to show Your Highness, and he praised you. ”

Qin Hanzhen was surprised: "You told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I also participated in the discussion?" Actually, it's not necessary, you just say your own name, and then count the name of the lobby brother." I didn't tell my grandfather about this, but if the prince told him about it, and he knew that I was hiding such a big thing from him, he might not have said anything about me. ”

Zhao Mo smiled softly: "It's okay." How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not understand that there are many taboos for you to participate in political affairs as a girl? He just praised you for doing a good job and being intuitive and concise. What we didn't find before, after reading the form, we knew in our hearts and knew where to look for evidence, which saved us a lot of effort. ”

Qin Hanzhen was a little relieved, thinking that Zhao Mo didn't rob her of the credit, it became more and more obvious that his character was upright and clear. She stole a glance at him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Zhao Mo told her again: "This matter is just speculation, there is not enough evidence to prove that the two veterans have colluded with King Ninghua, and King Ninghua is also plotting against him, so we still have to find strong evidence before we can officially denounce them to the emperor." At present, even if the crown prince will inform the emperor of the truth, it will not be easy to spread it to the outside world, and it will be troublesome to save King Ninghua and his group from beating them up, but slandering the emperor for not being able to tolerate them, wronging loyal ministers, and causing turmoil in the clan and the military. ”

Qin Hanzhen also understands this: "It's good to be cautious." In fact, as long as you destroy all the plans of King Ninghua and his gang and stare at their actions, you don't have to make a big deal out of it. drove King Ninghua back to the fiefdom, leaving him to fend for himself and unable to return to Beijing for life. Others, even if they have a little calculation, have nowhere to go. Those who should be imprisoned continue to be imprisoned, and those who should be idle will continue to be idle. Rebellion is such a thing, there is no money and no one, and it cannot be done by relying only on intrigue and trickery. The emperor and the crown prince quietly dealt with everyone, and there would be no bad comments. However, Concubine Hui has to be careful, she is by the side of the Queen Mother, if she is malicious, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Zhao Mo said solemnly: "The crown princess is in charge of palace affairs, and she has secretly sent people to pay attention to Concubine Hui's movements. It is said that after the palace banquet, she has been locking herself in her room, worshipping the Buddha devoutly, praying for the blessing of the little county lord, hoping that the little county lord will recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and never went out again. She looked as if she was really worried and sad about the little county lord's injury, but the crown princess still didn't dare to take it lightly, and even in the queen mother's palace, there were also more people around the little county lord. It just so happened that this time the little county lord was injured, and the palace people waiting around her were suspected of dereliction of duty, and the nurse was also beaten and needed to recuperate. The crown princess excused them for negligence in their duties, kicked them out of Cining Palace, arranged palace attendants for the little county lord, and lent out all her henchmen. The Queen Mother did not object, but praised her for doing a good job. The nurse of the small county lord could not protect herself, and she had no confidence to intercede, so she could only leave honestly. However, if the little county lord wants her back, the queen mother will most likely let go. ”

"So, there's no movement on Concubine Hui's side for the time being?" Qin Han really thought for a while, "Actually, if you can, it's better to check Concubine Hui's whereabouts during the palace banquet." Don't let go of the people waiting around the little county lord. I always feel ...... There's something weird about them. The eight palace people were all sent away by the nurse, where was such a coincidence? When Concubine Hui came, could the nurse take the rest of the people to greet her, and leave no one to take care of the little county lord at all? Is there some secret hidden here?"
