After Yunyan returned to the inn, she washed up and prepared to rest as usual, but until late at night, she lay on the bed tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep.

Yunyan saw that Gu Sanniang and Haoxue were already asleep, so she simply got up and walked out.

There was a faint lamp in the courtyard behind the inn, Yunyan walked over, found a stone bench to sit down with this faint light, looked up at the sky, a full moon hung quietly, Yunyan looked at the moon, only felt that his heart was slowly calming down.

"Why are you here at such a late hour?" Just when Yunyan looked at the moon and was distracted, Ah San's voice came from behind him.

Now Ah San has changed the outfit of a small guy and returned to his original appearance, Yunyan turned his head to look at him, and chuckled: "If you can't sleep, you come out for a walk, what about you, why are you still here so late?" ”

Ah San was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yunyan should have seen that he was pretending to be a little maid when he was in the imperial dining room, so he said frankly: "After leaving the palace, I went to the Hou Mansion and went out to change the real little guy back, so it took some time." ”

Yunyan nodded: "You are honest." As she spoke, she turned to look at the moon again.

Zhao Mingsheng followed the clouds and looked at the moon in the sky, such a bright moon in the sky, it is difficult to see under the hindrance of modern haze.

"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." Zhao Mingsheng couldn't help but read a sentence.

Yunyan was stunned, such a good poem came out of the mouth of Ah San, a man who looked a little rough, which really surprised her: "I didn't expect your writing to be so good." ”

Zhao Mingsheng just smiled, what kind of literary style is this, this is the words written by the great writer Su Shi, he just copied it and sighed.

"Speaking of which, sometimes I think you're like an old friend of mine." Yunyan looked at Zhao Mingsheng's face, and the Ah San she thought in front of her, even if she covered the handsome sides with her beard, her eyes were still as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Especially these eyes, they really look like him." Yunyan said, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of sadness.

Zhao Mingsheng saw Yunyan's appearance in his eyes, and his heart was also slightly sour, he endured it, but he still couldn't help but ask: "The old man that the girl said is also a man?" ”

Seeing Yunyan nodding, he continued to ask, "Does the girl like this man or do you love it?" Or is it just a friend? ”

After listening to this, Yunyan didn't speak for a long time, and was silent for a while before sighing: "He's dead." After saying that, she stood up from the stone bench: "Before I even have time to think through the questions you just asked, he has left me forever." As he spoke, Yunyan glanced up at the moon: "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together, what a beautiful and helpless wish." ”

After saying that, she lowered her head and turned to leave.

There was no goodbye, no chic and polite in the past, only a sorrow as thick as the moonlight.

This stunned look was all seen by Zhao Mingsheng, he was only absolutely happy in his heart, does Yunyan's appearance mean that she has Zhao Mingsheng in her heart? At the very least, her feelings for Zhao Mingsheng in her heart are much deeper than she shows?

This night, someone is destined to have insomnia, but the reason for this insomnia is different.

After Yunyan returned to the room, he still couldn't sleep because he missed Zhao Mingsheng and was worried about Zhao Mingsheng, but after Zhao Mingsheng returned to the room, he couldn't sleep because Yunyan had him in his heart.

At the same time, Mu Mo, who was far away in the Hou Mansion, did not fall asleep.

He stood in the study, thinking carefully about the ins and outs of Yunyan coming to the Hou Mansion to cook to Mu Cong's recommendation of Yunyan to go to the palace to make snacks for the emperor.

My father never cared what the emperor liked to eat before, and he never arranged eyeliner for his cronies around the emperor like other courtiers, but even so, my father still knew the temperament of several nobles in the palace very well, especially the queen.

The queen's jealousy is a well-known thing in the entire aristocratic circle, so Mu Cong shouldn't know what kind of situation will be formed if the queen sees Yunyan.

In addition, Yunyan was recommended by Mu Cong, for the queen, the last thing she wanted to see was that a beautiful woman in the minister's family was sent to the palace, after all, such a woman can be regarded as having a backer, and it is not convenient to teach a lesson in the palace at that time.

And Mu Cong has always been calm, no matter what he does, he will definitely have a complete preparation, sending Yunyan to the palace to cook for the emperor, Mu Cong must have made arrangements to let Yunyan go, and he must not only inquire about Brother Huang's whereabouts and preferences, but also inquire about the whereabouts of the queen and concubines in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

According to Mu Cong's carefulness in doing things, it is categorically impossible to let today's queen bump into Yunyan, the only thing that can be explained is that all this was arranged by Mu Cong, and he intended to send Yunyan into the palace to make Yunyan unable to see the emperor.

But what is the reason for Mu Cong to do this? If he wanted to help Yunyan because of Yunyan's ability to cook, he would definitely let Yunyan see the emperor, but he obviously did something to help Yunyan, but why didn't Yunyan see the emperor?

Mu Mo couldn't figure out how to think about it, and in the end, he waited for this night and was ready to ask his father.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Cong was stopped by Mu Mo, who came in a hurry, before he could go to the morning court: "Father, there is something I want to ask you." ”

Mu Cong saw that Mu Mo's eyes were slightly dark, knowing that you and he should not have slept well the night before, and he was not in a hurry to go up after looking at the time, so he nodded: "You go to breakfast with me, and talk while eating." ”

Mu Mo nodded and followed Mu Cong to the dining room.

"Father, you are obviously helping Yunyan, but why do you want the queen to see Yunyan, and let the queen misunderstand that Yunyan is the eyeliner you want to send to the palace?" After all the dishes for breakfast were ready, Mu Mo asked after everyone left.

Mu Cong raised his hand to pick up the fritters, and when he heard Mu Mo ask, the movements on his hand paused, and he returned to his original appearance in just a moment, he raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Mo: "Why do you see that your father wants to make that cloud smoke unable to see the saint?" The one who stopped the cloud was not the father, it was clearly the queen, wasn't it? ”

Mu Mo was stunned: "Father, with your resourcefulness, if you really want Yunyan to meet the saint, you will definitely find out when it is most appropriate to meet the saint, but although you recommended Yunyan to make snacks for the saint, you don't plan to let Yunyan meet the saint at all, right?" Otherwise, how could you not know that the queen would pass by there at that time and meet Yunyan? ”

Mu Cong seemed to be very satisfied with what Mu Mo said, and he chuckled: "I always said that you weren't careful enough, but now it seems that you are indeed a lot more careful, that's right, my father really wants to help Yunyan, and I really don't want Yunyan to see the saint." ”

He admitted it so simply, which made Mu Mo even more puzzled: "Since my father wants to help Yunyan, why don't you let Yunyan see the saint?" If he sees the saint and gets the reward from the saint, Yunyan will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the capital, and it will be much more convenient to enter the noble circle at that time. ”

Mu Cong put down his chopsticks and looked at Mu Mo: "I just praised you twice, and you are so careless again." Mu Cong sighed slightly: "Yunyan's surname is Yun, and he can make a lot of snacks from the Qiang Kingdom, but haven't you thought about it?" She, a girl born and raised in Haoyue Country, how did she make this snack of Qiang Country so authentic? ”

Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think it was a problem, and only said: "Yunyan said that her mother once left a notebook, which recorded the practice of some authentic snacks in the Qiang Kingdom, so Yunyan can make these, what's so strange about this?" ”

"That's the strange point!" Mu Cong sighed softly: "Do you know, the authentic snacks in the Qiang Kingdom were invented by the Yun family at the beginning, but although the practice of these snacks has been learned by outsiders, the main points have not been grasped by outsiders at all, if Yunyan's mother's notebook is true, then Yunyan may have something to do with the Yun family back then." ”

When Mu Mo heard about the Yun family, he was stunned.

After a long time, he spoke: "Father is talking about the Yun family that has a marriage contract with me?" ”

Mu Cong nodded: "It's the Yun family, when you weren't born, your father was married to the main vein of the Yun family, when you were still in your mother's belly, and you didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, we agreed, if a man and a woman would be married, if both were men, let you become brothers, if they were both women, they would be Jinlan."

Later, you were born, a boy, and two years later, he also gave birth to a daughter, so he verbally decided the family affairs, but the will of heaven made people, the Yun family moved to Haoyue country, and soon the news of the fall of the Yun family came out, and since then, your fiancée who is married has disappeared. ”

Mu Cong said, he couldn't help but sigh again, as if he felt very pity, and then he cleaned up his emotions: "So what does my father mean is that Yunyan is the woman who married me back then?" ”

Mu Cong frowned: "I can't be sure, it was the eldest daughter of the Yun family who married you back then, but when the Yun family was destroyed, although I knew that my friend and his wife were all killed, but I couldn't find their daughter at that time, and I don't know where this girl is now, and Yunyan, since she has such a ability, it means that it is very likely that she was the little girl at the beginning, but now there is no evidence to prove it, plus her special identity, if it is rashly proved, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”
