Chapter 17: Suddenly Enlightened

Imperial Palace, Qianlong Palace.

Mo Chuye sat on the wooden chair of the golden carved dragon in a black five-clawed dragon robe, and his deep eyes were unfathomable, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Are you saying that Ziyi Hou did not report the amount of all the Meng family's property?"

"Yes, when the old minister counted the accounts, he discovered this loophole. "Standing on His Highness is none other than the Minister of Households, who is in charge of the central finances.

"Hmph, Ziyi Hou is really getting less and less interested in me. Mo Chuye's eyes widened, and he slapped the table with an angry palm, as if this table was the purple clothes in his mouth and no one in his eyes.

"The emperor is angry!" Seeing Long Yan's anger, the minister of the household department hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Don't startle the snake in advance, go down!" Mo Chuye held back the anger that almost erupted in his heart and waved his sleeves, his eyes were full of grievance and helpless fatigue, and the purple clothes waited for the power in his hands since the death of the previous emperor and controlled the government. is even more in the eyes of him, the emperor, no one, no matter how damn Ziyihou is, he has no way to rectify him.

Even the ministers privately talked about him as an incompetent emperor, let alone the people of the world? How can an emperor not be aggrieved and not be angry when he does such a job?

"Yes. The minister of the household department answered, and retreated out of the hall tremblingly. In fact, this young emperor is a hero in governing the country, but it is a pity that the traitor controls the government, and the blame is to blame the former emperor for trusting Ziyihou too much and handing over the military power to him, which has led to the current situation that the imperial power is questioned. Thinking of this, the minister couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.

When Mo Chutong came to the Qianlong Palace, he happened to see the departing Minister of the Household Department.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan asks to see you. At this time, the great eunuch Li Yi glanced at Mo Chuye's expression and said cautiously, after all, now the emperor is angry because of the matter of purple clothes............

"Nope. Mo Chuye rubbed his brows in disappointment. He was upset about Ziyihou, so he naturally didn't want to bother with some irrelevant things, every time his younger brother asked to see him, he wanted to help him dissolve the marriage contract, but this was given by the emperor, if Yu Xuanji of the Jade Mansion did not hand over the holy decree given by the emperor, he could not do anything.

"Yes. Li Yi, who had been ordered, went up to the door of the temple and respectfully retreated and returned to Mo Chutong.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, please go back! The emperor still has unfinished government affairs. Li Yi said without leaking.

Mo Chutong glanced at Li Yi, and then at the closed door of the palace, although he did not give up, but seeing the head of the household just now shaking his head and sighing and leaving, he must have encountered something difficult for the imperial brother. Thinking of this, he nodded, thinking about coming back next time, and then walked away.

"He's leaving?" Mo Chuye asked.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Yan has gone back. ”

"Hmm. Mo Chuye answered, and put down the fold he had just held in his hand, I don't know what he was thinking?

"What's wrong with the emperor?" asked Li Yi, who was grinding the inkstone.

"Let's go, go to the Induction Temple. When the words were finished, he stood up, straightened his robe, and made a gesture and walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, wait for the minions!" Li Yi put down the things in his hand and chased after him in a hurry. How can this emperor think that one is one out, it is really difficult for them to be slaves, old arms and legs, and they have to run along.

"Miss, who are these three tablets memorial?" Ruyi's dark eyes were full of puzzlement and looked at the three wordless tablets that Yu Xuanji was kneeling down. After breakfast early this morning, the young lady went to tell the lord that she was going to come to the induction temple to pray for the first lady, but she didn't expect to come, the young lady did not go to the Buddhist hall to worship, but first went to invite the three wordless tablets. It's a confusing move.

"Three old friends. Yu Xuanji said lightly, but her heart was full of sorrow and heartache, these three tablets were invited for her father, brother, and An'er, but she couldn't engrave their names, how sad is this?

"Those three old friends?" Ruyi didn't know that her young lady's body had changed her soul, and she couldn't help but understand Yu Xuanji's words, but this question had a feeling of not opening which pot to mention.

"Hehe, one day, you'll know. Yu Xuanji sneered, and then got up from the round cushion unhurriedly, but her long eyes looked intently at the three tablets. One day, she will let the names of her father, brother, and An'er be engraved openly, and never hide like this again. Thinking of this, there was a touch of firmness between her eyebrows.

"Hmm. Ruyi nodded ignorantly, although she didn't know why the young lady said this, but she clearly felt that her young lady's tone contained a trace of pathos, so she didn't ask at the right time.

"Let's go, I heard that the peach blossoms in the mountain behind the induction temple are blooming, just go and take a look. Yu Xuanji calmed down, turned around and smiled, and then walked out by herself.

"Miss, aren't we going to the Buddha Hall to pray for Madame?" Ruyi asked, following Yu Xuanji's footsteps. Although she also wanted to see the peach blossoms, she hadn't prayed to her lady yet! Her young lady had really forgotten all about her business, but fortunately she was reminded by herself.

"Go, go to the Buddha Hall, and then go to the back mountain to see the peach blossoms. Yu Xuanji looked back and smiled, she naturally would not forget this equally important matter.

The peach blossoms are still fragrant, and the sword is a dance of lovesickness.

The two are broken off by the love alone, but the dream is too hurried.

In the depths of the peach forest, an ink-colored figure is constantly shuttling among them, and with a flick of the scabbard, it is a burst of falling flowers and beautiful. Between the staggered sunlight, Yu Xuanji felt for the first time that the ink color and the peach color were so harmonious and beautiful.

She remembered that her brother loved the peach blossoms of this induction temple the most during his lifetime, and every time the peach blossoms were in full bloom, he would grind her and him to come here to drink and make a fusidy.

Unconsciously, he laughed bitterly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" asked Ruyi. In my heart, I wondered what was wrong with the young lady, and I laughed at myself.

"Seeing this beautiful scenery, I suddenly felt that I was too stupid before, and Mo Chuyun was not worth it. Yu Xuanji looked at the peach blossoms, smiled faintly, and her thoughts were exhausted.

"Yes, it's best if Miss knows. Ruyi smiled.

"Ruyi takes wine, such a beautiful scenery must be matched with good wine. ”

"Okay, Miss wait, the slave will go. ”

Ruyi's words fell, so she happily took the wine, she thought it was Yu Xuanji who wanted to open it, but she didn't know that she was thinking about the old people, and the heavier the knot.

When Mo Chuye found Yu Xuanji, he saw her sitting on the ground, like a lazy kitten half-squinting her eyes and snuggling under the peach tree, her fair little face was actually a little sickly, with a dog's tail grass in her mouth, and the dappled sunlight fell on her body.

After a while, Mo Chuyun retracted his gaze, and as soon as the sword was retracted, it fell steadily to the ground, just as he was about to leave. Ruyi, who was holding the wine jar, happened to walk to Yu Xuanji's side.

Yu Xuanji opened a jar of wine, took a sip, and blurted out: "The peach blossoms are empty and leave lovesick memories, and no one has returned them after many years."

The spring breeze does not pity the tears of the boudoir, and a pot of turbid wine breaks the heart. Even if you are a fellow believer, why not drink the same altar?"

"Miss, who are you talking to?" Ruyi asked, holding a glass cup full of wine. However, Yu Xuanji didn't say a word, followed her line of sight, and saw Mo Chuye seven feet away.

Her words in Mo Chuye's heart were just a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the lovesickness that had just subsided for a while was like a tide, only rising but not closing.

"The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other. The girl's glass of wine, it is better to be respectful than to obey her fate. Mo Chuye turned around and the corners of his mouth curved, and a smile gradually appeared.

"Childe is not afraid that I am a drunkard, and I don't mean to drink?" Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, smiled playfully, and then picked up a pot of wine and handed it to Mo Chuye, who was sitting aside.

"The girl must care about this peach blossom. Mo Chuye smiled profusely, took the wine jar and sniffed the wine quietly, before taking a sip.

"Good wine. He raised his sleeve to wipe the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and praised.

Although his movements are not easy to detect, he is as sensitive as jade Xuanji, and he naturally sees it in his eyes, but she will not break it.

"Whether the wine is good or not, lies in the state of mind of the drinker, if I guess correctly, the son is bitter this time, and the wine is like medicine, and it is good for the heart. Yu Xuanji looked at him and said with a shallow smile.

Mo Chuye's drinking action stagnated, his eyes dimmed, and in an instant, he drank a few sips, then looked at her, and said with a smile: "If you don't feel bitter, the girl won't drink here." ”

She did break through the pain hidden in his heart with one word, and the lingering shadows appeared from time to time, making his heart ache and lovesickness, and what bothered him even more was that now that Ziyi Hou was in power, the Mo family was in danger, so how could he not be bitter? But he naturally would not show it in front of her, the last thing an emperor can do is to be known what he thinks in his heart, no matter who the person in front of him is.

"Haha, Childe is right, but the world is full of suffering, how can it be happy?" Yu Xuanji's eyes lit up, and she laughed and took a sip of wine. How many people's demands are the word "happy"? But they can't ask for it, and they can't get it.

"The girl should believe that the old man will always meet again, even if it is thousands of miles away from the mountains, under the yellow spring. Mo Chuye said, the person in front of him was like a confidant he didn't know, so he couldn't help but feel it. He didn't even know if he was speaking to her or to himself.

"Childe's words are reasonable. Yu Xuanji pretended to pat her thigh suddenly and smiled.

"Huh. Mo Chuye also laughed.

And their words made Ruyi on the side confused.................. When did the young lady speak so deeply?

At the same time, Li Yi, who was looking for him, saw at a glance that the emperor who was sitting under the tree actually raised the altar with a woman to drink, talking and laughing, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, since the death of the crescent girl, how long has the emperor not laughed so happily.

"Childe, it's time to go back. ”

Although I don't want to disturb the emperor's interest, but now that I have been leaving the palace for a while, the emperor, as the king of a country, can't stay outside for too long, otherwise where will the queen mother be held accountable, the emperor has nothing to do, I'm afraid that they can't afford to be slaves.

Mo Chuye's eyebrows were almost furrowed into a hill, it was rare to be so relaxed today, Li Yi, the dog minion, was disappointed, glanced at Li Yi unkindly, and was about to wave back, so he only heard Yu Xuanji smile lightly: "It's just right, it's not too early now, I've been out of the house for a while, it's time to go back." ”

"Hehe, too, thank you for the girl's wine today. Mo Chuye glanced at the sky and smiled.

Yu Xuanji smiled lightly and nodded reservedly. A group of ladies and gentlemen. After turning around and walking a few steps, he heard Mo Chuye behind him raise his voice and said, "I don't know if the girl can tell me the name of Zaixia." ”

"People who meet will naturally meet, take care. Yu Xuanji walked forward without looking back.

Mo Chuye looked at the back that gradually disappeared into the peach forest, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and the ghost made him laugh awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, you smiled. Li Yi said with a doggy smile.

"That is?" Mo Chuye smiled, glared, raised his hand and hit Li Yi's head, and then walked forward.

Li Yi rubbed his head and muttered: Obviously, he smiled.
