Chapter 219 The Concubine and the Emperor 6

Yong'an Palace, located adjacent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, was the palace closest to the emperor's bedrooms. Its white marble walls, stone lions at the gate, and evergreen pines and cypresses lining the bluestone corridors all evoke its nobility.

The golden glazed tiles of the main hall sparkle in the sun, and exquisite porcelain and jade wares are displayed among the rosewood bookshelves.

Even the most inexperienced servant passing by here could immediately realize the noble status of the person living here and the emperor's favor towards him.

Mo Heng stood quietly in front of the window, stroking a piece of warm jade in his hand.

The early morning sunlight filtered through the delicate window lattices and shone onto the jade floor of Yong'an Palace, creating mottled shadows that sprinkled on his silver-white clothes like floating dark patterns.

Mo Heng's clothes could be said to be meticulously dressed, but his long hair was only lightly fixed by a black jade hairpin, with a few strands of hair scattered unruly on the sides of his face.

Obviously, the person who tied his hair today was not very skilled.

Xiaojiu was in the dark, not daring to breathe even a little, for fear of disturbing his master and bringing disaster upon himself.

The period from Yinshi to Maoshi every day is the most difficult time for Xiaojiu.

Because the current emperor is a diligent person, he goes to the court every day to discuss state affairs with ministers, and today is no exception.

Mo Heng's fingers tapped lightly on the jade, feeling a little irritated. He had gone too far yesterday and only let Chu Jun go to bed when it was just dawn.

About an hour later, Chu Jun got up on time as usual. He could hardly open his eyes before going out today.

"It would be better if all those ministers were dead." Mo Heng's fingers were white as he gripped the jade.

But he soon relaxed, and his other hand subconsciously adjusted the jade hairpin in his hair. Thinking of Chu Jun's serious expression when she tied his hair this morning, he let out a sigh of relief.

‘That’s all. ’

At this moment, the eunuch's distinctive shrill voice came from outside the palace: "Li Yu has come here to reward you by order!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Heng put on a smile and walked out of the bedroom to greet him.

Li Yu was the chief eunuch beside the emperor, and he naturally attracted much attention every time he went in and out. However, the eunuchs and attendants of Yong'an Palace had been welcoming him every day for the past week, and they were no longer surprised.

Sure enough, behind Eunuch Li were several young eunuchs, holding various brocade boxes and trays in their hands.

The servants in the whole courtyard sighed again, saying that His Majesty really doted on Lord Mo Ce to the extreme.

Li Yu smiled widely when he saw Mo Heng coming out. He saluted and said, "Mr. Mo, the Emperor has recently received some tributes from Jiangnan. They look very rare and precious. They haven't even been deposited into the national treasury yet, but I have been specifically instructed by His Majesty to deliver these to Yong'an Palace as soon as possible."

Mo Heng nodded slightly, his voice gentle, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Li."

Li Yu waved his hand, and the young eunuchs displayed their treasures one by one. Silk, jade, and other items were commonplace, and Mo Heng had been receiving different treasures almost every day recently, but today seemed a little different.

Li Yu noticed Mo Heng's gaze on the last few boxes and introduced them, "These are Guzhu Purple Bamboo Tea, tributed by the Guzhu Mountain Tribute Tea House. This purple bamboo tea is only picked between Qingming and Guyu each year. It takes tens of thousands of people to pick it and thousands of people to make the tea to obtain these precious treasures."

As the imperial tea, the amount of Guzhu Zisun that the Gongchayuan offers as tribute each year is very limited.

Looking at the number of tea boxes, Chu Yun probably sent all the Guzhu purple bamboo shoots harvested this year to the Yong'an Palace.

I just mentioned yesterday that I like tea, and today I sent someone to deliver tea. The smile on Mo Heng's face became much more sincere.

Mo Heng opened the box, and the aroma of tea filled his nose, the fragrance was so tempting: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful."

Li Yu felt relieved when he saw Mo Heng was satisfied.

Ever since he first met Mo Heng, he had felt an inexplicable awe towards this gentle and even kind young man. Only when he mentioned the emperor in front of Mo Cejun, as he did Li Yu feel that the pressure from the other party was reduced a little.

Li Yu had to rush to serve Chu Yun who was leaving the court, so he left Yong'an Palace without staying there for long.

The servants of Yong'an Palace put away all the treasures that were sent to them without their master's instructions.

As for the purple bamboo tea, it was brewed and served to Mo Heng as soon as possible.

"Xiao Hei! Come here!"

The weather was good today. After taking a nap at noon, Chu Jun couldn't stay in the bedroom any longer, so he dragged Mo Heng and Xiao Hei to the Imperial Garden to play.

In this dimension, Xiao Hei finally escaped the fate of having white hair and regained his handsome black skin.

The little black dog with "cool" black skin was so happy that he was running and jumping happily in the imperial garden.

Its master is the current emperor, so it is fearless in this palace and no one dares to provoke it. Today is only its first day in the palace, but it seems to be on the verge of becoming the bully of the palace.

However, no matter how domineering the little black dog is, it will still be a good and obedient dog in front of its owner. Hearing Chu Jun's call, the little black dog ran over with its short legs.

Xiao Hei ran happily towards Chu Jun, but suddenly stopped halfway.

Chu Jun looked at Xiao Hei who stopped a few meters away from him and felt a little strange: "What's wrong, Xiao Hei, come and hug me!"

Xiao Hei's gaze passed through Chu Jun's shoulder and met Mo Heng's. Alarm bells rang in his heart. His strong intuition told him that if he got even a step closer to his master now, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Xiao Hei?" Chu Jun was worried that Xiao Hei was not feeling well, so he stepped forward to check on Xiao Hei's condition.

Xiao Hei watched his master gradually approaching, and felt a growing sense of crisis. For some reason, he made up his mind and bypassed Chu Jun and rushed towards Mo Heng.

Chu Jun looked at Xiao Hei circling around Mo Heng, wagging his tail, with a surprised expression.

Even the little sun like Mo Hengheng in the previous dimension didn’t make Xiao Hei love him so much. What happened today?

Xiao Hei felt the murderous intent suddenly disappear, and cried in his heart.

It's so hard for dogs. How can dogs act like dogs? Dogs obviously just want to cuddle and kiss their owners.

Mo Heng was satisfied with Xiao Hei's reaction. He quietly put away the long needle in his hand, bent down, looked at Xiao Hei gently, with a smile on his lips.

"Is this your majesty's dog? It's so well-behaved." Mo Heng said as he reached out to stroke Xiao Hei's head. Feeling Xiao Hei's slightly trembling body, his smile became even more intense.

"Yes, Xiao Hei is usually the best behaved boy." Chu Jun said as he pretended to bend down to touch Xiao Hei's head.

However, Chu Jun's hand was intercepted by Mo Heng without leaving any trace halfway.

"Your Majesty, please let Xiao Hei play by himself. I think he likes this garden very much." Mo Heng held Chu Yun's hand. A handkerchief appeared in his hand and he began to wipe his hands carefully.

Chu Jun took a closer look and found that Xiao Hei's hair had stuck to his hand at some point. It must have flown over when Xiao Hei was having fun just now.

Recalling how Xiao Hei had just been running around the yard like crazy, Chu Jun felt that what Mo Heng said made sense, so he "let Xiao Hei go": "Okay, Xiao Hei, go play by yourself, but don't hurt anyone!"

"Woof." Xiao Hei, who was pardoned, barked at the top of his lungs and ran away.

'Woo woo woo, that man is so scary, woo woo woo.'

However, Xiao Hei is not worried at all that his master will be harmed by the bad man. In Xiao Hei's heart, Mo Heng in all dimensions is a paper tiger who only dares to show off in front of him. When he meets his master, he has to be as obedient as possible.

Seeing Xiao Hei expanding his territory outside the Imperial Garden, Chu Jun turned his attention back to afternoon tea.

Not to mention that so many people in the court wanted to become emperor. Just from this simple afternoon tea, Chu Jun could feel the imperial chef's great care.

The glutinous rice jelly was placed upside down on a white jade plate. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror and its color was attractive, as if it were an uncarved jade.

Chu Jun gently picked up a piece, and the cold cake slowly melted on the tip of his tongue. The softness of the glutinous rice and the sweetness of the fruit blended perfectly, bringing a refreshing feeling and adding a touch of coolness to the hot summer.

Mo Heng watched Chu Yun savor the snacks carefully. He was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he said, "Your Majesty likes well-behaved people?"

Chu Jun's attention was focused on the sweet and delicious glutinous rice jelly. Before he could wrap his head around it, he thought Mo Heng was talking about a good dog, and said without hesitation, "Yes." 'It just likes good dogs!'

Mo Heng looked at Chu Jun who was concentrating on eating snacks, took the other's free hand, held it with both hands, and held it to the side of his face.

Under Chu Jun's puzzled gaze, he suddenly imitated Xiao Hei and barked: "Woof~"
