Jiyue Palace

Peng Mo walked into the hall and saw the emperor and queen sitting upright, raising their eyebrows and saluting respectfully. "The courtiers meet the emperor and the queen. ”

I secretly guessed in my heart the purpose of the two of them summoning him.

The emperor watched Peng Mo step into the hall, the smile on his face deepened a little, and when he saw her salute, he raised his hand and said in a kind voice: "Get up, sit down." Immediately, someone from the palace brought a brocade stool and put it on Peng Mo's side.

Peng Mo respectfully thanked her, got up and sat on the brocade stool prepared on the side, because she couldn't talk at will in front of the palace, so she saved the trouble of finding a topic, just lowered her head and sat quietly, waiting for the person in the upper position to speak.

The queen looked at Peng Mo lovingly, smiled softly and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Emperor Xie inquired, thanks to the emperor sent a skilled Wu imperial doctor, the queen mother rewarded rare medicinal materials, and the toxins on the courtier's body were no longer hindered. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and thank him again, but he was stopped by Xia Jin, who had already received the queen's eyes on the side.

The queen looked at the emperor with a smile and said, "What a sincere child, don't kneel down at every turn, sit still." ”

The emperor nodded, and the smile on his face did not decrease.

Peng Mo lowered his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, a faint smile hung on his face, and when he heard the queen's words, he seemed to hang his head a little shyly, and he still sat down after thanking him.

As soon as Jin Roujia entered the hall, she saw Peng Mo and immediately smiled. "Peng Mo, are you here?"

Peng Mo turned around when he heard this, saw Jin Roujia, smiled and got up and gave a salute.

Jin Roujia took Peng Mo's hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite between us." ”

Peng Mo bowed his head, and when he saw the chessboard held by Liu Ye behind Jin Roujia, his eyes flashed slightly.

Everyone sat down, and the emperor's eyes lingered on Peng Mo's lowered little face, and he asked with a smile: "I heard that the fourth lady played a good chess hand, but is this so?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers' chess skills are not good, but they can play some. Peng Mo lowered his eyebrows and responded modestly.

When the emperor heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled: "It's still early for the palace banquet, you come to play a game with me, if you win me, you will be rewarded." After saying that, he laughed, got up and came to the chessboard that had been placed, and chose a chair to sit down.

Regarding the emperor's attitude of not allowing opposition, Peng Mo could only agree, and got up to follow.

Jin Yanchen and Peng Hao sat with big eyes and felt that each other was bored for a while, but they didn't want to talk to those who were full of flattery, so they exchanged glances, and went out of the banquet hall one after another and went to the water pavilion in the imperial garden, where the scenery was good and very elegant and quiet.

In the imperial garden, many official women who came to the banquet gathered in pairs, and because of the passing of Jin Yanchen and Peng Hao, they all blushed and talked softly.

But both of them have their hearts, and they naturally turn a blind eye to these women who are more delicate than flowers.

Peng Hao looked sideways at Jin Yanchen, lowered his voice and asked, "How is the matter of the assassins?"

"There's not a clue yet. Jin Yanchen shook his head, these assassins were not simple, and they didn't leave any omissions.

"I went to the military department to take a look a while ago, the corpses were very clean, the clothes were ordinary, and the weapons were even more ordinary, and any weapon shop could be forged. These all show that the person behind him is cautious, and he has been planning for a long time, and he is not at ease if he does not get rid of this person.

"Maybe we can start from the person who rescued him that day, since he can appear in the woods in time, he must have known the inside story of the assassination in advance. Peng Hao thought in his heart, how could Jin Yanchen not know.

If the people in the shadows are not eliminated, Mo'er will be in danger at any time, and he has quietly sent several waves of people to guard around the General's Mansion in the past few days.

"I heard Mo'er say something about that person, it's really a little intriguing!" Peng Hao frowned when he mentioned this person, if you know about the assassination and don't tell you in advance? If so, why did the enemy come to the rescue?

The two walked to the lake as they spoke, and Jin Yanchen was a little surprised when he saw the people in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and said a soft "huh" in his mouth.

Peng Hao also saw the person in the pavilion and said, "It's Wei Shizi." ”

Wei Yingran saw the two of them from a distance, smiled calmly and elegantly, and got up to greet the approaching people.

People have already gotten up to greet each other, and the two of them did not stop, walking into the Huxin Pavilion, the three of them greeted each other and sat down.

Jin Yanchen looked at the hand pouring tea for the three of them, the white and thin skin was faintly visible under the cyan veins under the skin, and said with a smile: "Wei Shizi rarely goes out." "He rarely went out in the past, so he suddenly attended the banquet in spite of his illness, what or who was he involved in?

Last time Peng Mo asked Qi Mu to investigate Wei Yingran's matter, Jin Xiuchen knew that although he didn't find anything unusual, but he met Peng Mo a few times, Jin Xiuchen still cared about it.

Somehow, Jin Xiuchen had an idea, the person who was holding Wei Yingran back might be Peng Mo! Thinking of this possibility, his eyes were well versed in quenching ice, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

Wei Yingran smiled lightly when he heard this, put down the teapot in his hand, and pushed the other two cups of tea to the hands of the two, then he looked up at Jin Yanchen, and said in a light tone: "It's just because of my poor health that I have no choice but to recuperate in the mansion, but I can't often see the prosperity outside the mansion, it's a pity." But there was no hint of regret in his tone.

Jin Yanchen smiled when he heard this, and was noncommittal to Wei Yingran's words.

"Looking at Wei Shizi's ruddy complexion, I think his physical condition has been good recently. Although Peng Hao and Wei Yingran only have a few faces, they like to talk to him very much, he is different from the shrewdness and hypocrisy of ordinary children, he always has a peaceful calmness that attracts people's yearning.

Wei Yingran smiled lightly, responded to Peng Hao's words with his jaw, and said: "The imperial doctor is fortunate to have found a few precious medicinal materials, but after using them, his body feels better, so he can come to this lively palace banquet to have a look." ”

Jin Yanchen took a sip of tea and looked at Wei Yingran and the entourage behind him without a trace.

"What kind of medicinal herbs are they? There are also a few pharmacies in the house, so it would be good if they could help the prince for one or two. "Because of Peng Mo, Peng Hao has a little mercy for people who have been sick for a long time.

"Thank you, Third Young Master, I don't dare to bother with a little illness. Wei Yingran waved his hand, and even the refusal was peaceful.

Peng Hao then remembered that the outside world only knew that Wei Yingran was born with a lack of in the womb, but he didn't know the real symptoms, and he didn't check it for a while, and almost became a person with a long tongue to spy on other people's secrets, and apologized: "It's me who is abrupt, don't blame the world." ”

Wei Yingran smiled indifferently, looked at Jin Yanchen, frowned slightly, looked around him, and said, "His Royal Highness King Chen's injury is healed?"

Jin Yanchen smiled at his care and said, "It's okay." ”

Wei Yingran nodded and didn't ask much, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"What does Wei Shizi like to do in the mansion when he has nothing to do?" Jin Yanchen asked casually, as if chatting.

Wei Yingran put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Jin Yanchen with waveless eyes, and said with a smile: "Read books, play chess, and plant flowers." ”

Peng Hao listened and said: "The prince's hobbies are somewhat similar to those of his sister. ”

"Miss Peng Si?" Wei Yingran didn't expect Peng Hao to talk about Peng Mo, and there was a rare wave on his face.

"yes, she's just a quiet person. Peng Hao talked about Peng Mo, and his doting attitude was overflowing.

Wei Yingran disagreed with Peng Hao's words, although Peng Mo hid it very well, but he knew that she was not simple, and she was not a person who was content to read books and plant flowers!

He should have avoided it, but he couldn't control his heart, and he wanted to get closer to her step by step, even if it was just to look at her from a distance.

Lowering his eyes and chuckling. "Really? That's a coincidence. ”

Wei Yingran's slight change Peng Hao didn't notice it, but Jin Yanchen didn't look at it at all, took a sip of the slightly cold tea, and his smile was as cold as tea.

Jiyue Palace

Gonggong Su looked at the criss-crossing chess pieces on the chessboard, frowned slightly, glanced at Peng Mo, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's three o'clock in the unitary hour, and the palace banquet is about to start." ”

The emperor responded when he heard this, but his eyes were still on the stale chessboard, and after thinking about it for a long time, the white child in his hand fell.

Peng Mo looked at the chessboard and set aside a sunspot.

The emperor looked at the falling sunspot, stretched his eyebrows, and put down a white child, and the siege was solved instantly.

Peng Mo frowned in surprise and annoyance, twisted a sunspot in his fingertips, his eyes hung on the chessboard, and for a moment, he put the sunspot in his hand in the chess basket, looked up at the emperor, and said softly: "The emperor's chess skills are excellent, and it is difficult for courtiers to win." ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Chess is fun when you meet your opponent." "If it weren't for her wrong move just now, it would have been impossible to say who would have won!

Father-in-law Su saw that the emperor had won the chess game, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor stood up and looked at the black and white chessboard again, still unsatisfied.

"Peng Mo, you are so amazing. Jin Roujia praised from the bottom of her heart, although she lost to her father, she was still very powerful.

Jin Roujia is very active, and has always felt that this chess game is a boring thing, but today it is rare to watch the whole game, and I only feel that there is a lot of thought between the square inches.

Peng Mo stood up and said with a light smile: "Princess Miao praised, it was the emperor who won the chess game." ”

Jin Roujia looked at the emperor, and whispered in Peng Mo's ear while he was not paying attention: "But I still think you are so powerful." ”

Peng Mo was amused by Jin Roujia's words.

When the emperor heard the sound and turned around, he happened to see Peng Mo's smile, and he didn't feel a little distracted, but it was only for a moment, he coughed lightly and said, "Where is the queen?"

Gonggong Su immediately bowed down and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother is already on her way to the banquet hall, and we will meet you when we set off now." ”

"Well, let's go. After speaking, he walked out first, and sighed almost inaudibly after walking out of the hall.

Gonggong Su took a step behind the emperor, heard this sigh clearly, raised his eyes slightly, and lowered his eyes again.

"Let's go, too. Jin Roujia pulled Peng Mo and followed the emperor's footsteps.

Jardine House

There was constant laughter in the hall, and the sound of conversation was faintly heard.

"I just like Peng Mo, I must marry her. Zhao Shi said loudly with a stiff neck.

Zhao Qingshui listened to Zhao Shi's words, covered his mouth and chuckled for a while, and then said angrily: "Mother is also messing around with him, can this kind of thing be said in public? Although it was a reproachful word, the tone was pleasant, even secretly happy.
