Chapter 10: The House of Lai

Stepping down the jade steps, Sima Mo took his hands behind him, stepping on the silver moonlight, and walked casually all the way. The palace lights gradually became scarce, and the road became gradually secluded, until a courtyard suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was a big stone in front of the courtyard, on which were written the two big characters "Li Yuan", and he was suddenly stunned.

He remembered that day when Murong Jin knelt in front of him with a calm and unhurried look, so his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Boom.

A voice suddenly came from the courtyard, Sima Mojian raised his eyebrows slightly, and the footsteps that were about to leave suddenly stopped, and he stepped into the courtyard instead.

A burst of fragrance filled his nose, Sima Mo raised his eyes, only to find that under the moonlight, he saw a flower bed bonsai in the courtyard, vines and green bamboos, and the side of the mountain stone is dotted, there is a big banyan tree in front of the mountain stone, and the branch of the banyan tree is hanging there, as soon as the breeze passes, it will swing slightly.

All this made Sima Mo, who had never stepped into the Li Courtyard, couldn't help but have a glimmer of light in his dark eyes. When I looked up again, I saw that inside the open door, the candlelight was flickering, and it seemed that a figure was shaking in the distance.

Sima Mo walked to the door, looked into the room, and saw a Nanmu case inside, next to the Nanmu case was a white jade screen, and a pear flower table in the middle, the Xuan furnace on the pear flower table was overturned, and the incense ashes inside were spilled out.

His eyes fell on Murong Jin, who was standing in front of the pear flower table at this moment. Under the flickering candlelight, I saw that she was dressed in a light-pigmented dress, her body looked petite and delicate, and her dark hair was no longer pulled up, but fell to her waist like a waterfall. She didn't seem to notice him standing outside the door, but just cleaned up the freshly knocked over stove on the table with a serious expression.

Sima Mojian raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, so he pretended to cough lightly.

Murong Jin, who was originally cleaning up the Xuan furnace, heard the sound, raised his eyes, and saw that at the door, Sima Mo was wearing a dark yellow robe, standing there majestically.

Murong Jin's dark eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, why did he come? Stopping to clean up, I saw her take a step forward, kneel down and bow, "Your Majesty Saint Ann." ”

Sima Mo stepped into the room, "Get up." ”

Murong Jin stood up, "I don't know why Your Majesty moved here tonight?" ”

"Can't I come here if I have nothing to do?" Sima Mo said coldly.

Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Forgive the concubine for not being good at words. ”

Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, Sima Mo's eyebrows were stained with a touch of displeasure.

"I'm here, and you didn't even offer a cup of tea?"

Murong Jin saluted: "Please wait for a while, and the concubine will cook tea for Your Majesty." With that, she withdrew.

After a while, she came back again, holding a tray in her hand, but she had not yet crossed the threshold, she looked up, but saw Sima Mo in the room standing in front of the pear flower table with his hands in his hands, and the sound of the candlelight plucked Sima Mo's figure on the window lattice.

She was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until she came back to her senses that she stepped into the house, put the tea cup on the tray on the pear flower table in front of Sima Mo, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please use tea." As the words fell, she stepped aside.

Sima Mo glanced at the tea on the table, and then his gaze fell on her, and suddenly remembered the scene when she hurriedly ran to stop him from eating wontons that day, so he suddenly spoke.

"Why did I know I'm allergic to crab roe?"
