Chapter 5: Temptation
The next morning, Zhixing waited for Mo Ying to freshen up and dress, Zhi Tao cleaned up the bedding, and the two of them would talk about her affairs, which seemed to be no different from usual, Mo Ying pondered in her heart, they are all good seedlings of acting!
After breakfast, Mo Ying sent the apricots to the tailoring with the materials rewarded by the emperor.
Mo Ying thought for a long time, called the peach, and asked, "It's very hot today, is there still the sour plum soup in the morning?" ”
"Yes, it's just that drinking too much sour plum soup hurts the stomach, and the little master drank a lot in the morning, why don't you drink some red bean soup?"
"It's fine."
Mo Ying took the red bean soup, but she was not in a hurry to drink it, but asked, "Zhitao, how many years have you been with me?" ”
"Five years."
"How have I treated you in the past five years?" Mo Ying then asked.
"The little master is very good to the peach!" Zhitao's complexion did not change, but his right hand unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes.
Mo Ying didn't judge whether she was weak-hearted or had suffered some grievances from the original owner, pretended not to see it, drank a sip of red bean soup, and said, "Do you know why I sent Zhixing away and left you alone?" ”
The peach of the "little master ......" was startled and knelt down directly.
Mo Ying pretended to be surprised, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhi Tao lowered his head, this little master is very different, but he can't tell how it is different, so he has to bite the bullet and say, "The little master is angry...... Yesterday, the slave maid took the little master to see Yun Jieyu without authorization? ”
"You're smart!" Mo Ying said in obedience.
"Little master, the slave and maid have no malice, and the slave and maid are also a last resort, Yun Jieyu's side Manshuang has come to the slave and maid many times, and the slave and maid know that the little master does not like to have contact with Yun Jieyu, but Yun Jieyu talks about the Mo family everywhere, and before the slave and maid enter the palace, the old lady specially explained to the slave and maid, to take care of the little master, and fight more of the Mo family, the slave and maid are also good for the Mo family!" After speaking, the body of the peach leaned down a little more.
"So, you're still meritorious?"
"Don't dare, it's all a slave's business."
Mo Ying sneered, she is really invincible in the world, she still has the face to invite credit? When she's a fool? Taking a deep breath, Mo Ying continued to say softly: "You have been with me for five years, where do I not know what you are like?" ”
After speaking, he took the initiative to reach out and help Zhi Tao up, and continued, "I was in the forbidden room a few days ago, and I thought it through, I was too willful before, and what Yun Jieyu said was also mutually beneficial to the two families of Yunmo, and there is nothing wrong with it." Besides, I still have an older brother, if my brother's future is damaged, what hope does our Mo family have? ”
As she spoke, Mo Ying picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"The little lord really figured it out?" Zhi Tao was suddenly startled, his eyes lit up, and his voice rose a little.
"Naturally, it's just ......" Mo Ying paused deliberately.
"If the little master has any difficulties, he can say it directly, presumably Yun Jieyu is very willing to help." Zhi Tao hurriedly said.
"This busy Yun Jieyu can't help, it's me who is too stupid, Yun Jieyu explained the matter, I thought about it these days, and I didn't think of any good way, I saw Yun Jieyu yesterday I was also very panicked, I think Yun Jieyu is disappointed, Zhitao, you are a smart person, but what can you do?" Mo Ying said distressedly.
"The little master is the first beauty in Yaoguo, and it is easy to attract the emperor's attention, why don't you go and take care of one or two?"
The amount of information in this sentence is too much, Mo Ying digested it well, Yaoguo? Is there such a dynasty in history? She only knew that one of the Five Emperors had Yao, the leader of the tribal alliance in ancient times, and the Yao Kingdom was established by him? Wasn't China's first dynasty Xia? Could it be that she was wrong about history? It's not right, although she doesn't know what Baolin's position is, and she doesn't know what dynasty it has, but Jieyu she has heard of it, isn't there a Ban Jieyu in history? In the Han Dynasty, did Yao have Jieyu at that time? Besides, in ancient times, Mo Ying looked at the house, are the facilities so advanced?
"Little master, little master......" Seeing Mo Ying's silence, Zhitao's face changed again and again.
"Huh?" Mo Ying quickly came back to her senses, "Oh, what did you just say?" Dotted one or two? ”
"That's right, the slave can buy the eunuchs around the emperor and inquire about the emperor's whereabouts......"
"Don't ......" Mo Ying hurriedly refused, just kidding, she wasn't ready to like the emperor, why did she inquire about his whereabouts? Although she doesn't know how many people there are in the harem now, there are twenty or thirty houses in a row of houses in this Ruyi Pavilion, not to mention other courtyards and palaces, and so many women grab men, with her education since childhood, she is very disdainful, right?
Mo Ying's reaction was a little intense, Zhi Tao was stunned, Mo Ying straightened up, and quickly returned to normal, "I mean, it's easy to arouse suspicion in this way, and there should be a lot of people in the harem who do this, and the emperor doesn't think it's unusual, whether he can attract the emperor or not is secondary, in case it is self-defeating and affects Yun Jieyu, it will not be good." ”
"But where is the little master the same as them, the little lord is the first beauty in Yaoguo."
"Yaoguo is so big, can you see it everywhere? It's just a rumor. Besides, I haven't been able to keep the Sacred Heart after entering the palace for so long, and I think the emperor doesn't just care about appearance. "It's not that you're the number one beauty, what are you talking about?
"Then why don't you send some supplements to the emperor! I heard that there is an insect plague in the Dongshang area, and there are many refugees, and the emperor is worried! ”
Mo Ying rolled her eyes in her heart, and thought, you are so vulgar, not to mention the disaster in the east, the emperor is annoying, I will go up now, isn't that looking for a split?
"The emperor works hard for the country, it's better not to disturb, presumably Yun Jieyu not only wants me to attract the emperor, but it is important to attract the emperor, and we must take the overall situation into account!"
"That's what the little lord said!"
"Before I think of a countermeasure, don't act rashly, lest you do something wrong and provoke Yun Jieyu to blame! After all, the Mo family still has to be attached to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Yes."
"Okay, Zhixing should come back too, you go get busy first, I'll go to the study to have a look."
The peach saluted and withdrew.
Mo Ying lay down on the chaise longue in the study, she was already sure that Zhi Tao took refuge in Yun Jieyu, and also determined that the first thing Yun Jieyu needed her to do was to seduce the emperor, but if it was just for this, it was a little unreasonable, first, this Yun Jieyu was also a beauty, and there was no need to find another beauty to be her favor, second, this original owner was the first beauty, she was not afraid that the original owner would compare her?
"It seems that Yun Jieyu's water is very deep!" Mo Ying murmured.
In Lingxiu Palace, Princess Mu Jing sat in the piano room in the apse, silent, and since she woke up, this expression seemed to grow on her face.
"Princess, the Queen Mother just let people spread the word, saying that the emperor hunted a few wild pigeons today, please taste them together." Outside, Leqin asked through the door.
"I'm afraid of the heat and don't want to go out." Princess Mu Jing replied through the door.
"But the Queen Mother has called you to eat for three days in a row, and you don't go, the Queen Mother and her old people will be worried!"
Mu Jing was silent.
Just as Leqin was about to return to the messenger, Mu Jing's voice came from the house, "Then I'll go!" ”
"Yes, the slave will reply." Leqin hurriedly summoned the three of Leqi, Leshu, Lehua and Liang to serve the princess to change her clothes, and she happily replied, and even the reward was heavier than usual.
