Hua Qing and Mo Huaijin were originally traveling side by side, but Su Wen had been delicious, so she wondered if there were any rules in the palace of the Central Plains, after all, she had read Confucius's set of etiquette rules in ancient books before, and when she thought about it, she must not be able to walk past their master or taboo to go with her master, so Su Wen would cough all the time.

She consciously slowed down a few steps and retreated to a position parallel to the Lingshu and Su Wen. Sure enough, Su Wen stopped coughing at this time.

Mo Huaijin bypassed the water corridor, looked back, and saw that Hua Qing was seven or eight steps away from herself, and couldn't help frowning, and said to her:

"Hua Qing, come here!"

Hua Qing glanced at Su Wen and Lingshu, and the two didn't signal her to go over, so she stayed where she was, hesitating whether to go over. Mo Huaijin said:

"As the king's scholar, you are supposed to serve the king's side, and you are so far away from the king, how can the king talk to you?"

Hua Qing scratched her head and replied awkwardly:

"Childe, oh, no, prince, the emperor summoned you, it should be just that I haven't seen you for too long, and I want to talk to you. It's not like I'm going to dance with you as soon as we meet, right? Even so, there is no need for the little woman to grind ink or extravagance on the side, and besides, the little woman came to the palace for the first time, and she didn't understand the rules, so she was afraid of being abrupt. I'm just a head, you know, you know. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her couldn't help but laugh.

Mo Huaijin paused, crossed his waist and said:

"Let's not say that the holy will cannot be fathomed, I will say that your scholar's duty, as a scholar, no matter what the situation, you should always stay by the king's side, serve tea and water, grind ink extravagantly, and even run errands for this king. Moreover, with this king here, this king will not let your head move, understand? ”

"Huh?"

She raised her eyes to look at Mo Huaijin, who didn't look like she was joking, and then she nodded and replied:

"Understood."

She thought to herself that if this was the scholar's job, then she would follow Mo Huaijin every step of the way.

Xixing Pavilion is a high place in the palace, built near the lake, the bluestone slab opens the way, the flowers and trees on both sides are shaded, and the well-dressed palace ladies stand on both sides, and they see Mo Huaijin and his party saluting one after another.

Because Hua Qing had never seen this kind of scene, she also returned the salute, and Su Wen behind her laughed.

Entering the pavilion, Mo Huaijin brushed off his shirt, wanted to kneel down on one knee, and said:

"Brother to meet the emperor, queen."

Before Mo Huaijin landed on his knees, he was helped up by the emperor, Su Wen and Lingshu also saluted, Hua Qing saw that everyone saluted, but she was standing alone, and she felt that this was very bad, so she also learned Mo Huaijin to kneel on the ground.

Just, doesn't feel right? Mo Huaijin was helped up before her knees hit the ground, and Lingshu and Su Wen were also helped up by the queen when they knelt, why did she already fall to the ground on her knees, and she only landed on her forehead when she saluted like the palace people, why didn't anyone come to help her? Didn't wake her up either? She looked at the emperor and queen on the side, they didn't seem to have any intention of letting her get up, and they were laughing and laughing. Finally, the two of them stopped talking, she hurriedly folded her hands on her forehead, and said respectfully:

"The people's daughter Huaqing meets the emperor, the queen, the emperor and the queen Wanfu Jin'an."

Mo Huaijin just sat down, took a sip of tea, and endured it several times so that it would not squirt out. He thought to himself, the emperor should not think that Hua Qing is too strange, he looked up at the emperor, and the emperor really pointed at Hua Qing with a happy face and said:

"Excuse me, this folk girl is very interesting, you? Did you come back with King Zhao? ”

Hua Qing nodded, and the emperor said happily:

"Family?"

Hua Qing didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked like this, but she couldn't help but answer, family? She nodded. No, the scholar is a house slave, not a family member, she shook her head again. She didn't have time to look at Mo Huaijin, and hurriedly explained:

"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter is the scholar of King Zhao."

"Scholar?"

The emperor's eyes looked at Mo Huaijin, as if to verify the accuracy of Hua Qing's words, Mo Huaijin nodded and said:

"Yes, my scholar."

"What, Hui An resigned?"

The emperor asked with concern.

"Well, back to the emperor's brother, Hui'an didn't resign, and the minister's brother intends to let Hui'an go to the test to gain fame."

"Oh, I see. I see. ”

The emperor knew this, so he didn't say anything anymore. After everyone sat down, Hua Qing consciously stood by Mo Huaijin's side in the spirit of being scary.

The maid brought the tea, she took it, and was about to put it in front of Mo Huaijin, but before the teacup fell off the table, Mo Huaijin said to her:

"You taste it."

She thought to herself, this errand seems to be unconditionally obedient to the master's arrangement in order to receive a salary, but drinking tea in front of so many people, her palms still can't help but sweat, forget it, she doesn't have the guts to disobey Mo Huaijin's order, right? Drink poop and drink. She lifted the lid and took a sip.

This tea has a strong aroma and a sweet aftertaste. It's pretty good. She thought to herself why Mo Huaijin didn't drink it, could it be that the prince's mouth was more picky?

"How's this tea?"

"It's delicious."

"I mean, is this tea still hot?"

"It's not hot."

Mo Huaijin took the half of the tea she had drunk and took a few sips. Everyone present was dumbfounded. Only Hua Qing felt aggrieved and felt that he was thinking too much, thinking that Mo Huaijin was kind enough to let him taste it, but he just let himself try to see if the temperature was suitable? Her face burned red.

However, the other people present were very clear in their hearts, this was the Imperial Palace, and every food in the Imperial Palace was strictly inspected, how could there be a problem of too high or too low temperature.

When the dishes were served, Hua Qing began to put a few chopsticks on Mo Huaijin and put them in his bowl, Mo Huaijin looked at the fish in the bowl, and then turned to Hua Qing and said:

"You taste?"

Hua Qing and the maid asked for a pair of chopsticks, ate a piece, and replied:

"Lord Wang, this fish has no spines and tastes very good, you can eat it with confidence."

"Do you like it?"

"Hmm."

The emperor was interested at this time and ordered:

"Good food needs to be shared, Hua Qing, sit down and eat together."

Hua Qing glanced at Mo Huaijin, and Mo Huaijin motioned for her to sit down. She thanked the emperor and sat down. The emperor looked Hua Qing up and down, and couldn't help but admire:

"I didn't expect there to be such a beauty in the world."

Re-question:

"Little scholar, why did you come with King Zhao? Did he kidnap you? ”

Hua Qing was eating a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and when she heard the emperor ask such a question, she was nervous, and the ribs in her mouth suddenly stopped in her cheeks. She muttered:

"Back to the emperor, it was the people's daughter who voluntarily followed King Zhao. Because the girl is poor, she wants to find an errand and subsidize the aunt in the family. King Zhao was kind-hearted and gave the folk girl an errand, and the folk girl was grateful in her heart. ”

After listening to Hua Qing, the emperor glanced at Mo Huaijin with deep meaning, but Mo Huaijin directly skipped his gaze, stretched out his chopsticks to hold the contents of the plate, and ate it slowly.
