Chapter 359: Night Talk
Beihai, the palace. It was late at night. After Mo Yan Hongyang beckoned Qin Xiujun to sleep, he blew out the candle. I walked towards the Imperial Study. He still has a whole bunch of things to keep on track. Such an emperor seems to be a generation of Ming monarchs. Forget to eat diligently, pick up the lamp and read at night.
He opened the scroll, lit the candlelight, put on his coat, held the pen in his right hand, and began to annotate.
Today, he not only has to take care of his wife, but also has to review the cantata and finally study the art of war. As an emperor, it seems glamorous, but in fact it is very hard. With great power comes great responsibility. He didn't dare to put down his work at all and continued to work at his desk.
"Come out, I know it's you. ”
Suddenly, there was a thud that lifted her out of her concentration. Since the death of Shangguan Jinpeng. The walking position of this imperial study is temporarily accepted by Linglong. Although Princess Linglong has taken over the position, most of the time, she is secretly protecting the safety of Qin Xiujun's mother and son. The emperor had given her permission to come and go freely inside and outside the palace. Such treatment makes people jealous.
"Your Majesty hasn't gone to bed yet, it's so late!"
Princess Linglong walked up to him and began to deliberately grind the paper. Mo Yan Hongyang still leaned down to read, did not look up at her, but said coldly.
"You haven't slept yet! You haven't slept yet, how can I, as the monarch of Zhou Tianguo, sleep? In the past few days, I have been busy with official business and have played too many songs. I'm going to review it quickly. Do you have something to do?"
Mo Yan Hongyang picked up the pen and paper, spread it out on the table, dipped it in fragrant ink, annotated it twice on the file, put down the pen in his hand, and looked up at Princess Linglong walking in front of him.
"It's okay, you go back and rest first. My work is not done yet. ”
"Oh!"
Princess Linglong stood aside, suddenly stopped, and stopped talking.
"I see that you have something, I see that your brows are furrowed, and you have a worried face. Say it!"
For some reason, the topic that I had prepared was suddenly blank in my mind, and I forgot about it completely. She was stunned for a moment, raised the corners of her mouth, mustered up her courage, and diverted the topic.
"I'm here tonight because I'm puzzled. I want to ask Your Majesty in person. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for me to walk in this imperial study. ”
"Tell me about it. You've got a thought!"
"You see, my main duty at the moment is to secretly protect the queen's safety. Now I am walking part-time, and I can't solve problems for you, so I take it for nothing. Besides, I am a daughter, and I am afraid that I will not take it off when I walk out of this imperial study. I'm afraid that people will say something cool. ”
That wasn't the real purpose of her showing up in the study tonight.
"No need to worry. At the moment, you are temporarily part-time. If there is a suitable candidate, replace it immediately. Thank you for your hard work. ”
Mo Yan Hongyang picked up the pen and paper again and began to record. His demeanor of working at the desk really made the Linglong princess in front of him feel pleasing to the eye. It's a strange feeling. It hasn't been for years. Suddenly came back tonight. The heart of the puff beating, I want to say it but it is difficult to speak.
"You're still stunned, hurry back and rest. After another stick of incense, I'll go back to my room to rest. ”
"Oh!"
She turned and walked out of the study, closed the door, sat down, looked up, and looked at the starlight shining between the canopies, and fell into deep thought.
"What shall I say? If I don't say it, I'm afraid someone else will come forward. If I had said it, wouldn't it be shameless if he had rejected it. I'm sick of it!"
With a creak, the door of the imperial study suddenly opened, and Mo Yan Hongyang poked his head out.
"My gut tells me that you must have something to do tonight, or you won't be sitting here, come in!"
"I, I, I ......" she jerked back, bowing her head.
"What am I, come in and say!"
She struggled inwardly, not knowing whether to enter or not. In the end, I mustered up the courage and entered the imperial study.
Mo Yan Hongyang took the pen and paper and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Princess Linglong, sit down! ”
"I'd better stand, don't break the etiquette. ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, and her IQ instantly became zero.
"It's just you and me here, don't be bound by that courtesy, sit down! I feel like you have a lot to say to me. I listened. Say it!"
Princess Linglong raised the corners of her mouth, looking shy, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"I heard my master say, you want to take a concubine?"
"What?" he wanted to reconfirm.
"Concubine?" she immediately got up, a little uneasy.
Mo Yan Hongyang frowned, waved his sleeves, and smiled bitterly.
"These bad old men are thinking about some crooked ways. When did I say I was going to take a concubine? All I need is the queen. Tomorrow, I must ask King Di about it. Why do you like to blow some crooked winds? I thought that important things made it difficult for you to talk about them, and they were in a dilemma! It turned out that this kind of non-existent thing happened. Besides, even if I want to take a concubine, you don't have to participate!"
Speaking of this, Mo Yan Hongyang suddenly realized that the corners of his mouth were raised and he smiled slightly.
"Could it be that you want to be a widow's concubine?"
That's straightforward. He is indeed a man of temperament.
"No, no, no," she hurriedly waved her hand, bowing her head shyly, "I'm just asking." You are so affectionate with the queen, how can you take a concubine. Besides, no girl is qualified to be your concubine!"
"Go back! Rest early. Go back and tell King Di that he won't be fooled. No, never!"
"I'll just say it!" she swallowed her shyness and turned and walked out of the study. She thought as she walked.
"Linglong, Linglong, you are a cheap. Slut one. Flatter yourself. It's ridiculous. You can't find anyone, you have to find that stupid melon, and you will know how to review the chapter all day long. Hmph, when I get home, I must embarrass Master. ”
