Chapter 8 Sending favors

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yanjing ushered in the first bright day of the year, and the brilliant sun of the sky indicates that Yanjing is about to have an auspicious year.

The whole city is lit up and lively, only the north is deserted.

"Master, I suddenly felt as if I had done something wrong. Ning Xiang lay on the table dejectedly, eating dried fruits for Mo Chenghuan, and suddenly sighed inexplicably.

"Why do you say that?" Mo Chenghuan's mood was exactly the opposite of the beginning of the year, with a warm smile on his face that was difficult to resist even in the cold wind.

"At the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony on the ninth day of the first month, the list of people who traveled with the emperor has come down, and Qiu Shengxi's name is in it, I am unwilling, I always feel that I shouldn't help her. Nuan Xiao wanted to look unwilling but powerless to change the facts, and looked at Mo Chenghuan who was casual without tears.

"What's this, let her go. Mo Chenghuan is calm on the surface, but he is still a little awkward in his heart.

"Master, you don't care, but Nuan Xiao doesn't have such a big mind, why, why is the autumn Shengxi scenery and scenery, but we want to nest in this ghost place! To know the location of the saint, it should be yours!" Ning Xiang really couldn't swallow this breath, slapped the table, and loudly shouted out the depression and dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Be quiet, let Jin Su hear that she is going to come over and cry with you, "The important thing in Mo Chenghuan's heart is not those glory, the important thing is the company of a person, what she hopes to get is only one-thousandth of a person's favor, but how can everything be done by her own temperament, if this is the case, what she gets is the dime a drop in the bucket that Qiu Shengxi is getting now, there are always gains and losses in this world, if she really has these, the price of giving up is something she can't afford alone."

"Master," Jin Su walked in from outside the courtyard, and there was another palace maid Huanchun beside Qi Yu.

"The slave has seen Mo Miaoren. Before Mo Chenghuan could ask, Huanchun made a salute.

"Is there something wrong?" Although Mo Chenghuan said that he lived in the same palace as Qi Yu, he had never interacted.

"My wonderful people feel that the north is lonely and lonely on the first day of the new year, so I want to invite you to the small courtyard to gather. Huanchun smiled slightly, and slowly explained his intentions.

"Okay, you go back, I'll change my clothes and I'll be there later. Mo Chenghuan also thought it was interesting, so he should go.

"Master, what should we prepare?" Ning Xiang only felt that being idle was idle, and it was good to go to other courtyards to chat about interesting things.

"Bring some snacks and dried fruits, which means that the Qi family has a big business and a big treasure, and bringing too much makes people feel that we have bad intentions. Mo Chenghuan said in his heart that Qi Yu invited them over, obviously it was not just as simple as "getting together", but he really couldn't guess Qi Yu's intentions so he was infinitely curious.

After Mo Chenghuan simply cleaned up, he took Jin Su and Ning Xiang to the east courtyard of this Jade Qi Palace-Qi Ling Courtyard.

This Jade Qi Palace is divided into five courtyards, Qi Ling Courtyard in the East Courtyard, Qi Mei Pavilion in the West Courtyard, Qi Yuxuan in the South Courtyard, Qi Huixuan in the North Courtyard and Yuqi Palace in the Main Courtyard.

This Qi Ling Courtyard lives in Qi Yu, Qi Meige is Yu Suhua, Qi Yuxuan is Mo Chenghuan, Qi Huixuan lives in Fu Yijia, this main courtyard is where those palace ladies above the imperial show live, even if it is a deserted courtyard, they will not be given these beauties of too low grade to live.

When Mo Chenghuan arrived at Qi Ling Courtyard, there were already two wonderful people in Qi Ling Courtyard, and it seemed that Qi Yu not only invited people from Yuqi Palace, because He Qingxue, who lived in Zhijing Palace next door, was also present.

"Mo Miaoren is here, come and sit. Qi Yu patted the position next to him and motioned for Mo Chenghuan to come over.

Mo Chenghuan was also not restrained, and walked towards Qi Yu.

"Ningxiang, let's go prepare dinner, let the wonderful people talk for a while. Qi Yu's other palace maid beside her had red eyebrows, and kindly took Ning Xiang's hand.

Ning Xiang and Jin Su knew that this was supporting them, the palace maids, and actively cooperated.

Mo Chenghuan sat down and chatted for a while, everyone talked about the past with a word, and the atmosphere was much better than staring at two palace ladies in his own courtyard.

Talking about dinner time, many wonderful people also came one after another, almost the same issue of wonderful people came to Qiling Academy, except for Lu Huiyan, Zheng Linglan and Bian Yiyan who did not want to come, everyone seemed to be willing to temporarily vaguely treat their "enemies".

During the dinner, everyone accumulated a lot of grievances because of the Lixue banquet, and drank a few more glasses of wine, and when the banquet was about to disperse, many wonderful people were already drunk, and Qi Yu asked them to send the palace maids back to the courtyard.

"Sister Qi, it's late at night, and I can't bother, so I'll go back first. Mo Chenghuan learned that Qi Yu was half a year older than her during the conversation, and Qi Yu politely made her commensurate with her sister.

"Okay, sister, be careful on the road. Qi Yu didn't stop him, and smiled incomprehensibly: "I have to come and sit often in the future." ”

"Naturally. Mo Chenghuan nodded and smiled slightly.

Out of Qiling Academy, the smile on Mo Chenghuan's face, which had barely lasted for an afternoon, finally collapsed.

"Master, you're tired. Jin Su stepped forward to support Mo Chenghuan.

"Boom!" suddenly there was a loud bang, and a brilliant firework exploded in the sky.

Mo Chenghuan looked at the fireworks that exploded in the air one after another for a long time: "It's just started now, how dare you say you're tired." ”

The first month of spring is also unremarkable, everyone is calm and waiting for a suitable time, waiting for the time is always idle, everyone can only stay in their own bedroom, is really idle and can only find a few good people to get together, chatter, talk about the holy grace is still the autumn Shengxi, this day passed quietly.

Half a month ago, Qiu Yichen came to find Mo Chenghuan once, Mo Chenghuan casually asked a few things and sent him away, and then he never saw him again.

Within a few days, the six halls in the center came out, and the list of new beauties in the inner prison had been arranged, which was rejected by the emperor, needless to say, this must be the ghost behind that Qiu Shengxi.

Everyone can see that this Qiu Shengxi is clear, he just wants to be honored alone, but these tricks are a little despicable, after all, she will steal the scenery of the Lixue banquet alone, and now let the emperor reject the list of attendants, which is simply despairing their way forward.

Everyone gathered to Mo Chenghuan's Qi Yuxuan, and scolded this autumn saint Xilai, Mo Chenghuan was smiling throughout the whole process, occasionally accosting a mouth, and did not make any remarks. After all, this matter is still because of her, like Qiu Shengxi knew that she needed some time from the beginning, and now Qiu Shengxi asked the emperor to reject the list of attendants, presumably to buy time for her.

A few days later, Qi Yuxuan came to an unwelcome guest-Qiu Shengxi.

Qiu Shengxi went straight to Qi Yuxuan, and everyone couldn't help jumping in their hearts, everyone knew that before the Lixue Banquet, this Qiu Shengxi and Mo Chenghuan were the closest, and they also knew that at the Lixue Banquet, Mo Chenghuan's sudden injury was also bitten by this Qiu Shengxi.

After this incident, this Mo Chenghuan and Qiu Shengxi must be enemies, this Qiu Shengxi knows that there is no possibility of easing the relationship with Mo Chenghuan, why did he come to Mo Chenghuan today? Aren't you afraid of being beaten out by Mo Chenghuan?

Qi Yu of Qi Ling Yuan stood at the entrance of the alley, and saw Qiu Shengxi's sedan chair enter Qi Yuxuan from a distance.

"Master, how can you say that this Qiu Shengxi still dares to come to Mo Chenghuan. Red Eyebrows asked puzzled.

After a few contacts with the purchase, many beauties can find out their red eyebrows, but this Qiu Shengxi and Mo Chenghuan are unfathomable, no matter how hard she tries, Mo Chenghuan and Qiu Shengxi are still like copper walls and iron walls.

"It's even more surprising that this Mo Miao person is willing to meet Qiu Shengxi. Huanchun's feelings coincide with the red eyebrows, Qiu Shengxi and Mo Chenghuan rarely show flaws, even if someone finds out, it is only these two people who deliberately do it to confuse everyone.

"It seems that this Qi Yuxuan is not going to be peaceful, you try to hide as much as possible. Qi Yu's tone was flat, he couldn't see his attitude, he glanced at Qiu Shengxi's team coldly, turned around and walked into Qi Ling Courtyard.

"Mo Chenghuan has seen the autumn companion frame. Mo Chenghuan led two personal maids to salute Qiu Shengxi.

"Get up. Qiu Shengxi's posture was high, and his green jade fingers lightly pointed at him, signaling Mo Chenghuan to get up.

"Let's go inside and talk. Qiu Shengxi waved back and walked into the house first.

Qiu Shengxi is all single, and Mo Chenghuan naturally has no reason to lead people.

"Why do you have time to look at me," their current relationship must be endless, but now Qiu Shengxi's appearance is undoubtedly throwing a boulder in a calm lake, which will inevitably cause an uproar among the beauties of the same period.

"I'm here to repay you a favor. Qiu Shengxi said calmly, Qiu Shengxi refused to even sit, which seemed to indicate that her time was urgent.

"Oh?" Mo Chenghuan could see that Qiu Shengxi was a person who didn't want to owe favors, but she didn't expect Qiu Shengxi to repay so quickly, Mo Chenghuan took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said slowly: "Let's hear it." ”

"Seven days later, in the Spring Breeze Garden, I will arrange a chance encounter with the emperor for He Qingxue, as for how you arrange it, it's your business, if there is no arrangement, the last person to see the emperor is still He Qingxue, then this favor will be returned next time, the words have been brought, I should not stay for a long time. Before the words fell, Qiu Shengxi had already turned around and opened the door.

Mo Chenghuan hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Qiu Shengxi said to Mo Chenghuan angrily and coldly: "Ling Xue put down the things we brought over, let's go." ”

"You don't think you'll be able to sleep peacefully, you know that you will always owe me until our accounts are settled. The expression on Mo Chenghuan's face also dropped in an instant, and he cooperated with Qiu Shengxi in a cold voice.

Qiu Shengxi turned a deaf ear and left Qi Yuxuan without looking back.

After Qiu Shengxi left, Ning Xiang and Jin Su dared to step forward to inquire about the situation.

"It's nothing, she just wanted to come over and repay me for helping her, but unfortunately she wasn't ready, and she betrayed what I owed. "The so-called false is real and false, and only half-truths can deceive more people.

Jin Su cautiously signaled to Mo Chenghuan that someone was eavesdropping, Mo Chenghuan smiled calmly, and waved his hand at Jin Su in a position where his hand was hidden on his waist and was not easy for outsiders to see, meaning that it was okay.

"The master must not accept her affection, otherwise she will think that we are easy to bully, and she will make her conscience uneasy for the rest of her life!" Ning Xiang was smart, Mo Chenghuan reacted immediately as soon as she prompted her.

"I have other plans," Mo Chenghuan said, pretending to glance at the wall inadvertently, so frightened that the man quickly shrank his head and left in a hurry.

Seeing the eavesdropper leaving, Ning Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and took Mo Chenghuan to the house: "Master, what is the autumn companion frame here for?"

"It's really here to repay the favor," Mo Chenghuan smiled mysteriously, leaving Ning Xiang, who was stunned, to walk into the house first.

Since that day Qiu Shengxi visited, Qi Yuxuan, as Qi Yu said, has never stopped, and people have visited every day, which is like a market, but with a unified voice, to see the recent situation.

In fact, I just came to find out why Qiu Shengxi came, and by the way, I asked Mo Chenghuan what kind of attitude he had towards this Qiu Shengxi, and whether he had any interests to be gained.

However, not everyone who visits is generally hypocritical, as soon as Liu Zhifang and Qi Yu sat down, they honestly explained their intentions: Yes, we are here to inquire about the news, do you like to say it or not.

But Mo Chenghuan said one thing no matter who he was: she came to repay the favor.

Most people didn't expect Mo Chenghuan to be so honest, but sometimes people are so smart, the more honest the other party is, the more bottomless he is, after getting the answer, he is embarrassed to ask again, each with their own small abacus, casually said a few irrelevant words, and left in a hurry with someone.

Then Liu Zhifang was even more straightforward, she just got the answer and left, and she didn't look back, Mo Chenghuan couldn't keep it if she wanted to.

After hearing the answer, everyone was in different moods, and their expressions were very exciting, only Na Qi Yu was so calm that he didn't seem to speak, as if he had already guessed the answer, and it wasn't like someone else who doubted Mo Chenghuan's words, but there were no ripples like an ancient well.

"What do you think?" Qi Yu was silent for a long time, looked up at Mo Chenghuan mysteriously, and said softly.

"Me?" Mo Chenghuan didn't expect Qi Yu to have such a calm reaction, and was taken aback, but at this juncture, she didn't dare to show too much emotion to make Qingyu feel her panic, Mo Chenghuan raised her eyebrows, and her expression was ambiguous.

Qi Yu raised his eyes, and the stars flashed in his eyes, as if with hope and loneliness.

"Qi Miaoren, what does this mean?" Mo Chenghuan could feel that Qi Yu had something in his heart and didn't dare to say it.

"It's okay, I won't bother Mo Miaoren. As he spoke, he got up and wanted to go out.

Mo Chenghuan looked at Qi Yu's back and was stunned, and suddenly realized.

"You came to ask me for a chance, what can you give me in return?" Before entering the palace, Xue Yuanshan had mentioned Qi Yu to her, and said that if she met Qi Yu, she could help as much as possible, which made it clear that she was her own person, but Qi Yu may not be very clear now, but she can't help in vain.

Qi Yu stiffly looked at his footsteps, and turned his head to look at Mo Chenghuan with an unbelievable gaze.

Mo Chenghuan's smile revealed a slight hint of pride: "You are not simple, you can tell that I am not lying, this Qiu Shengxi really wants to use an opportunity to repay me a favor." I can transfer this opportunity to you, but I can't accept Qiu Shengxi's love in vain, right? If she easily transferred it to Qi Yu, I believe Qi Yu would also have some doubts, and she couldn't reveal her position now.

"What do you need?" Qi Yu turned around and sat back beside Mo Chenghuan, just looking at Mo Chenghuan's eyes with a little more eagerness.

"I'm ...... now What if you don't need anything?" What Mo Chenghuan needs now is what Qi Yu can't give.

"Then I owe you a promise, how about it?" Qi Yu panicked, busy painting pies for Mo Chenghuan, only afraid that Mo Chenghuan would regret it, but forgot to leave a way back for himself.

"Why are you in such a hurry, obviously the list of attendants will come out soon," what kind of order did Qi Yu receive, and why was it different from most people? Mo Chenghuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, because if he thought about it further, the picture would become terrifying.

Only outcasts are in a hurry to climb up, and that's the only way to prove that they existed.

"I'm already one step behind Qiu Shengxi, I can't waste any more, I don't have much time. Qi said with a voice like a grudge and a look at hatred, the hope hidden in despair was the same as Qiu Shengxi.

"Okay, deal. She didn't want to know more about the life of an outcast, she was powerless to change the fate of any of them, and she didn't want to add more burden to her heart.

Before Qi Yu could say the word thank you, Mo Chenghuan looked out the window and continued thoughtfully: "It's too impatient to come out now, and I will become the target of Concubine Li." ”

Concubine Li, named Yang Lijuan, has always been unknown, knowing that seven years ago, her father took refuge in the Sima family, and the Sima family sent this Yang Lijuan to the palace.

"If you can climb up, you have to have the corresponding ability, right?" in order not to be pulled down. Qi Yu was more disdainful of Concubine Li, which showed that this Concubine Li was not a threat to Qingyu.

"Will Concubine Xian help?" Concubine Xian is the person who has gone to the highest place in the palace of the Xue family, but unfortunately she has not been able to keep Dong Tianji's heart for a long time.

"She's too cowardly to help much, but you can still rest assured, if you can really help me get the emperor's blessing, I will be able to protect my own thoughtfulness, at least until I pay off your favor, I won't be easily calculated by them." The confidence in Qi Yu's words successfully persuaded Mo Chenghuan.

Mo Chenghuan had Qi Yu, and she didn't want to get involved too much, so she just said indifferently: "If you have time these days, come to me more often." ”

"Okay," Qi Yu replied stunned.

"Okay, you can go back and rest too, I'll think about it carefully," Mo Chenghuan sighed silently in his heart, and said weakly in unison.
