Chapter 9: Call Me Ace
"Yes." Mo Chen responded, secretly surprised in his heart.
Why didn't the young master return to the Purple Cloud Palace?
"You go...... Prepare. The man in Tsing Yi casually glanced at the darkness behind the hall.
There is a simple sleeping couch next to the wall, Xiao Ce usually reads hard, this is the place where he rests in the afternoon, the couch is clean, and there are no bedding pillows and other things.
"The young master is so nervous that he can't sleep?" Mo Chen looked at the outside of the hall gate and narrowed his apricot eyes slightly, "Young master, rest assured, Su Yan and Yan Ru are both first-class masters, and they will definitely not miss again this time." ”
After that, she went to the cupboard and moved the cover out, spread it on the bamboo couch, and walked back to bow to Xiao Ce, "Young master, the cover is ready." ”
"You're ...... tonight Stay with me. Xiao Ce said, his face turned red, and he picked up a book casually and pretended to flip through it, "Wei Shisan has just left the city, if Su Yan moves quickly, he will be able to come back in the morning, let's ...... together And so on. ”
"Yes."
"Go and lie down on the couch." Xiao Ce lowered his head to read the book, as if he had no intention of saying, "I can't sleep, read a book for a while." ”
"Yes." Mo Chen answered, then moved his steps to the couch and sat down.
She always agreed to all the requests made by the young master without thinking about it, but in this scene now, she was lying on the couch to rest, and let the young master sit on the ground and read a book, so she felt that something was wrong.
Despite this, she still obediently lay on the couch, looking at the halo of the lamp with bright eyes, and when she saw Xiao Ce glancing at her, she quickly pulled the quilt to cover her head.
After sleeping with his head covered for a while, he didn't feel sleepy at all, Mo Chen came out again, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man's silhouette.
Xiao Ce was still wearing a lazy cyan brocade robe, her clean side face was reflected in the candlelight, her silhouette was shimmering, and there was a gentle and warm atmosphere, which made her feel at peace.
"Young Master ......"
"Call me Ace." Xiao Ce turned his head and smiled at her and winked, "You can call me that when no one is around." ”
After a long time, Mo Chen realized that it was not an illusion just now.
"Ah...... Ace," the girl looked at the man reading the book in a daze, her cheeks crimson, "you...... Are you really waiting for Princess Qinghe to grow up? ”
The man in Tsing Yi stood up, walked to the couch, sat on the ground with his back against the couch, and replied in a low voice, "My father and sister forced me to marry, how can I not say that I am waiting for Princess Qinghe?" ”
"That ......" Mo Chen looked at the brocade-like black hair on the back of his head, and couldn't sleep even more, "Then you ......"
Xiao Ce turned his head to look at her, his dark jade-like eyes flashing against the candle flame in the distance.
Xiao Ce was just about to open his mouth to answer, when suddenly footsteps came from the door, and then a voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded, "Xiao Shizi, Concubine Xian Niangniang invites Mo Chen to enter the palace to talk." ”
The two people in the room froze suddenly, and their breathing seemed to stagnate, leaving only the flickering of the candle flame.
Concubine Xiao Li is Xiao Ce's eldest sister, not a bad person, but how could she suddenly invite Mo Chen into the palace?
Mo Chen grew up in the Xiao family, and he can be regarded as a virtuous concubine who grew up, but it was so late today......
Xiao Ce couldn't help frowning his long eyebrows.
"Niangniang summoned me to the palace?" Mo Chen sat up suddenly.
"Don't be afraid," Xiao Ce stretched out his hand, but only patted her on the shoulder, "Eldest sister, she has no malicious intentions, what's the matter...... You come back and tell me, don't be impulsive. ”
"Well, don't worry." Mo Chen quickly got up, straightened his clothes and pulled his hair together, and was just about to go out and turned around, hugging his fist at Xiao Ce, "The young master rested earlier, and his subordinates went down." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Ce looked at her and smiled slightly.
