in charge

Chapter 214

When there were only four moon cakes left in a box, Mo Zi opened her mouth.The first sentence made people stunned.

"Master Huang will lose this game," she said.

Liu Ning and the other eunuch looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, thinking that this girl is not very smart.Even if he didn't know the identity of the emperor, didn't he also say that he was Lord Yuan's superior, so he should speak well.

Although "Master Huang" hoped that someone would tell the truth, but when he heard it, he was not convinced, and said back, "That may not be the case. I am as good at chess as Master Yuan, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play for as long as a day and a night."

Day and night?Is that from yesterday?

Mo Zi glanced at Yuan Cheng, that man was breaking open a mooncake and looking closely, as if he was very interested.

Could it be that it's not a closed door, but a real guest?

In front of the emperor, Mo Zi didn't feel comfortable asking, but just took the words, "No, Mr. Huang will definitely lose this chess game."

This time, it was Yuan Cheng who looked up at her.

Mo Zi calmed down, "Looking at the chess board, the white pieces and the black pieces are indeed evenly matched, but today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Huang is visiting Mr. Yuan's house, and Mr. Huang, you are still in charge of Mr. Yuan. As the saying goes, the guest follows the master." Well, the upper official is covering the lower official. Seeing that you are talking energetically with me, a girl, you are not on the chess game at all, and you are clearly trying to let Mr. Yuan win on purpose. This is because you are generous and magnanimous, unlike some people who don't care about their opponents. Who wouldn't let the water go at all."

"Master Huang" laughed again, "Yes, yes, your neighbor is like this, thinking about the next one for a long time, scheming and scheming, how can I take me seriously. I haven't tried a game of chess for so long. He is fine, and won't let him go. If it wasn't for this morning—" almost slipping the tongue, coughing dryly, "I would have to be reprimanded by the emperor. But, as you said, my mind is no longer in this game, winning or losing doesn't matter."

"Then—" Yuan Cheng took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Excellency let the lower officials win this game, otherwise, the lower officials will go down even more slowly, and it will be delayed until tomorrow, so that the emperor will send someone to come to find your Excellency to go to court."

Will Yuan Cheng play tricks too?Mo Zi raised her eyebrows, she really didn't know if she didn't see it, but she was indeed a corrupt official and a sycophant.

But "Master Huang" obviously liked Yuan Cheng's tricks, he kept laughing, and said a few good things, "I will let you win, so as not to be unable to go to court tomorrow."

It cannot be said that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was fatuous. In fact, this emperor still has a good reputation.It can only be said that it depends on who says good things, and it depends on who cheats.First, Yuan Cheng played chess seriously, not as perfunctory as others, and then Mo Zi came across the wall to deliver mooncakes, and with clever words, the emperor Longxin was overjoyed, and he generously admitted a loss.

When the two eunuchs heard that the emperor finally stopped being serious, they were immediately relieved.Although the emperor was in good health, he was a certain age after all, and it was not good to stay up all night.

Thus, the chess players hastily divided the outcome.

"Master, would you like to take a rest at my house?" Yuan Cheng got up and stood beside "Master Huang" after a game of chess.

"No, I'll go back and catch up on sleep." "Master Huang" also stood up, stroking his forehead, "Time is not forgiving. Back then, I played chess with your father, and it was also a day and night. Your father was the one who was tired. Shout out top-heavy."

Yuan Cheng's father is the crown prince's tutor, who was the mentor of the current emperor when he was young.

"I didn't expect you to remember what happened so many years ago." Yuan Cheng's voice was low, his eyes were lowered, and his face remained motionless.

"I am a teacher for a day, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life. Your father treated me like a bosom friend, like a parent and son. I have benefited far more than just knowledge, which is still inexhaustible. In my mind, there is no one person who can make me the second master." Words, only your father." "Master Huang" felt a little heavy, "Yuan Cheng, you—don't let me down." The words were ambiguous, because it was taboo to have others present.

"Yuan Cheng dare not." He bowed his waist and bowed deeply.

Hua Yi suddenly strode over and knelt down on one knee to the person in the pavilion, "The Emperor——"

"Master Huang." Liu Ning was obedient.

Hua Yi was taken aback, looked up and saw that Mo Zi was also in the pavilion, he knew it, and immediately changed his words, "Master Huang, Lord Yuan, General Xiao is asking to see you."

"Which General Xiao?" "Master Huang" pointed to the wall where the ladder was leaning against, "There are several generals in the family next door."

"Major General Xiao Wei." Hua Yi replied.

"He's well informed." "Master Huang" glanced at Liu Ning, "Did you tell me?"

Liu Ning was a little panicked, and shrank his neck, "Master Huang, you said, it's urgent, let the news be sent to Master Yuan."

"I'm talking about news, but now it's people." "Master Huang" was not angry, "Yuan Cheng, the Xiao family is firmly opposed to my appointment of you. Since you moved back here, they should Never visited your neighbor once? Less words"

"Yuan Cheng wears the body of a sin, and the Xiao family is the emperor's close ministers. If they get too close, they will easily attract criticism. I think it would be better if they don't communicate." Yuan Cheng recalled Xiao Wei's resolute face, and smiled lightly.

"A body of guilt? That's right." "Master Huang" glanced at Mo Zi, "Actually, not all contacts, at least a girl from the Xiao family has already come to your house." Haha laughed again.

Although Mo Zi's identity is exposed in front of Xiao Er now, she never wants Xiao Er to know that she is here in Yuan Cheng, otherwise Xiao Er and Xiao San will probably build the walls adjacent to Yuan Mansion to a height that cannot be overcome.You know, that is the only way for her and Qiu Sanniang to get to the outside world.

"Second Master Xiao doesn't know about this kind of thing. Otherwise, Mo Zi will be punished by his masters for being so reckless." Mo Zi hurriedly followed behind and said, "Master Huang, you are kind, please don't take Mo Zi Tell me about climbing the wall."

"My girl was wrong. I'm not very kind, but I'm quite stubborn. Tell me another reason." "Master Huang" strode forward, and at the same time ordered Huayi to invite General Xiao in.

The emperor refused to let him go, so Mo Zi could only obediently follow. Seeing Yuan Cheng's beautiful looking expression, he knew that he couldn't be relied on. After thinking for a while, he walked onto the newly built nine-turn corridor.

"Girl..." He wanted to remind her that if he didn't say anything, he would bump into her master, but she knelt down on the ground.

Now, no one can move forward.

"Master Huang, there is a good saying that eats people with a short mouth." This was the reason why she thought for a long time, and she was a little desperate, "You just ate my mooncake."

Liu Ning opened his mouth wide, this is asking for it

"Master Huang" was a little startled and then laughed, "Haha, Master Yuan, this girl is really interesting, no wonder you built a ladder. If it were me, I would build seven or eight ladders, and she is welcome to cross the wall at any time."

"Master Huang." Mo Zi put on a pitiful expression while looking back, afraid of bumping into Xiao Er.

"If I lie to you, will it count as your mooncake gift?" "Master Huang" asked Mo Zi to get up.

Mo Zi lowered her head and her face sank, thinking that this Xiao Er made her unlucky.Originally, he had hoped to get a big benefit from the emperor, but now it has come to naught.Because she was unwilling, when she nodded, her face turned bitter.

"Okay, then I'll help you." Seeing Mo Zi's bitter face, "Master Huang" secretly laughed, but deliberately ignored it.

"Yuan Cheng, you don't have to send me off, take this girl to return your gift." Anyway, Xiao Wei and Yuan Cheng didn't want to see each other.

Mo Zi frowned, staring at the group of people who surrounded the emperor and walked away.

"Don't stare. Stare again, it's fine." Yuan Cheng turned into an arched door, turned around and saw that Mo Zi was still there, "Don't be disappointed, Brother Mo, it may not be that my return of the gift won't catch your eye."

Mo Zi mumbled and stepped across the door, "Master Yuan..."

"What did Brother Mo say? Why don't you speak louder, you can speak up with confidence for the people around here." Yuan Cheng was wearing a crow-black wind blue embroidered robe today. His sleeves carried the wind, and the hem fluttered. The back view alone was pleasing to the eye.

"I said, Master Yuan's return, I don't have any expectations, don't owe it, it's already very good." Mo Zi let go of the volume, wishing to get close to his ear and shout.

"Aren't you owed?" With both palms and ten fingers, without looking back, the voice was laughing, "Ten gold."

By the way, ten golds, damn ten golds

Yuan Cheng opened the door of a room, inside there were desks, the four treasures of the study room, and a wall and a half of books.

Mo Zi just followed in, Ming Nian appeared out of nowhere, poured tea for her and Yuan Cheng, then backed out without a word, and closed the door behind him.

"Yuan Cheng, I won't pay the ten gold." First, there is no gold.Second, it depends.He relied first, and she naturally relied on it with confidence.Take out a piece of paper from the rucksack, pat it on the table in front of Yuan Cheng, "Reimbursement"

"Reimbursement?" It was another uncommon word.Yuan Cheng took a look at the paper, grabbed the sleeve and rubbed the ink, jade-like hand lined the inkstone and grindstone, elegantly stroked the hookah-colored circle, dipped the pen again, and wrote it out, "These two words?"

Mo Zi gritted her lips and nodded annoyed, but she was afraid that he would refuse to pay for the excuse of not understanding, so she explained, "Didn't you ask me to do something? I bought all the materials, so you pay for this first. As for other expenses, Wait until the work is done."

Yuan Cheng let out an oh, but didn't move, "Brother Mo already knows who that person is? Less words"

When Mo Zi heard this, she felt sorry for the return gift from the early death, "What's the use of knowing that he is the emperor?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Yuan Cheng was not surprised at all, and he didn't ask her how she saw it, "I think he has a good impression of you, and Liu Ning can tell it if he thinks about it."

"Liu Ning?" The eunuch?

"Liu Ning is the fourth-rank internal supervisor, in charge of palace affairs, with the greatest authority and the emperor's trust. Coincidentally, he and I can also talk a little bit." Yuan Cheng smiled at Mo Zi.

Mo Zi pretended to be blind, ignoring his masculine charm, "So?"

"I saved you at Xu Jiu's place last time, your heart—" The palm of your hand spread out towards her, talking about old things, "Didn't you personally come to deliver it yesterday? Bring it here"

"..." Mo Zi thought, this man became more and more arrogant every time, but she had to rely on him, so she had to endure it, "You just ate it in your stomach, and you forgot it in a blink of an eye?"

"You didn't make the moon cakes. Although they are delicious, they can't be regarded as sincere." Yuan Cheng refused to admit it, "I think Brother Mo's intentions are more than that."

It's really too little, what should I do?

It's okay, she's prepared.
