Zhang You held Xiaosi's mouth tightly while looking around hurriedly to make sure there were only two of them at the moment.
The feeling in my throat was put back down.
Zhang You glared at his little follower fiercely, and cursed in a deep voice: "Shut up if you can't speak! Are those things we just said allowed us to say? We don't want our lives!"
Xiao Si - the little follower - was scolded so hard that he was stunned. He looked at Zhang You blankly, unable to relax, and only had a pair of big red eyes.
Terrified and pitiful.
After all, he was the one who brought him out by himself, so Zhang You rarely softened his heart.
Putting down his hand, he sighed and said: "Okay, okay, it's just the two of us now, and I won't tell you any nonsense.
You are mine, that’s why I say these heartfelt words to you.
You just need to remember that we are slaves and servants. No matter what the masters say or do, it is not ours to discuss, let alone foolishly care about it, otherwise you will suffer in the future! "
Xiaosi knew who was kind to him, and quickly showed a flattering smile to Zhang You.
He complimented softly: "Xiaosi knows that Eunuch Zhang is really good to Xiaosi. Don't worry, Xiaosi has kept your words in mind and will never commit any crime and cause trouble for you.
But aren’t there any outsiders at the moment? Xiaosi, I’m complaining on your behalf! "
As soon as he said this, Xiao Si looked filled with indignation again.
Zhang You probably also felt that they were the only ones at the moment, so he was less vigilant than usual.
Hearing this, he did not rebuke loudly, but instead asked with a half-smile, "Do you think Prince Mo is domineering and not a good master?"
Xiao Si nodded stupidly and asked, "No, isn't it?"
Zhang You sneered, "What do you know? If I could really choose, I would rather Prince Mo be the master than now..."
In the end, he had some scruples, and his words were a little vague, but Zhang You's meaning was already shown.
Xiaosi's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Zhang You blankly, as if to say: Are you stupid? Choose someone so cold and cruel to be your master? How can our current emperor be so gentle and easy to serve
Zhang You saw Xiaosi's thoughts, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "You are still too young! You can't understand the circles here.
Let me ask you, how do you feel about Prince Mo’s retainers? "
"Very good! I have a fellow countryman who works in Prince Rui's Mansion. He said that Prince Mo gave his people excellent treatment and lived as comfortable a life as the master. Even the guards of Mu Xueyuan were more confident than elsewhere. A little more." Xiao Si said enviously.
Zhang You asked again: "Then tell me who in our palace can receive such treatment?"
Xiaosi hesitated for a long time before answering hesitantly: "Master Mo?"
Zhang You snorted coldly: "Master Mo is not only your Majesty's cousin, but also a high official in the imperial court. He holds a high position. Who dares to neglect you?"
"Yes, yes!" Xiaosi nodded in agreement.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any other candidates. Instead, he asked stupidly: "Who else is there?"
Zhang You lightly tapped Xiaosi's forehead and smiled angrily: "You asked about me instead?"
"No, no... I just didn't think of anyone else. Even Guard Zhou seemed to..."
The only thing Xiaosi could think of was Zhou Ji who had been following Mo Junyu.
Even Zhou Ji's treatment in the palace was not that good, at least a little better than that of minions like them. However, Xiao Si had seen Zhou Ji being scolded by Mo Junyu in public several times, and he didn't seem to be favored much. .
Zhang You saw that Xiaosi finally understood a little bit, and then said slowly: "So, despite Mo Shizi's cold and unkind appearance, if you can follow him, you will definitely do well.
Take this incident as an example. I didn't have any hope at first, thinking that my life was hard to save. But Prince Mo finally relaxed.
Although Prince Mo looks down on us servants, he doesn't care too much about us, and he won't vent his anger on the people below him like other masters if he can't win.
You say, aren’t we servants just looking forward to such a master? "
"Oh, oh!" Xiaosi nodded as if he understood.
Zhang You also knew that this kid was straight-minded and didn't understand the twists and turns, so he smiled: "You still have a lot to learn, so just learn with me!"
Xiao Si immediately showed a flattering smile and responded hurriedly: "Xiao Si has been following my father-in-law and not going anywhere!"
Zhang You returned to the palace with Mo Junyang's oral message and gingerly repeated Mo Junyang's words.
Mo Junyu frowned and said dissatisfied: "He didn't say when he would enter the palace?"
Zhang Youxin said: I don’t want to come yet!
But on the surface, he had to respond obediently: "Return to the master, Prince Mo has nothing else to say."
Afraid that Mo Junyu would be angry, Zhang You hurriedly added: "But since Prince Mo knows what your Majesty means, he will definitely do what you say immediately.
He hasn't entered the palace yet, so he must have been caught up in other matters. "
These words not only ruined Mo Junyu's face, but also gave Mo Junyang a perfect excuse.
Mo Junyu's face softened slightly and he waved his hand, "Okay, you can go down!"
Mo Junyu happily waited for Mo Junyang to come and bow his head to him, but he didn't expect that after three days of waiting, no one was seen.
His Majesty the Emperor was angry and asked Zhang You to question: "Didn't I ask you to deliver the message? How come Prince Mo hasn't seen anyone yet?"
Zhang You complained endlessly in his heart, thinking that if Prince Mo didn't come, what could he do
But on the surface, he had to respond with sincerity: "I have indeed conveyed your intention to Prince Mo. As for Prince Mo, he..."
Eunuch Zhang hesitated for a long time, but he really couldn't find an excuse.
At this time, the sharp voice of the eunuch outside sounded.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
Ever since Ling Ruiyin was 'upgraded' to the title of Empress Dowager, she rarely walked around. This was the first time she came to Mo Junyu's palace.
Mo Junyu was stunned for a moment and was not in the mood to find fault with Zhang You.
"Okay, okay, if you have nothing to do, just go down!" He waved to Zhang You impatiently again.
Watching the servants bring Ling Ruiyin in, Mo Junyu stepped forward to greet him.
"My grandson has met the imperial grandmother!"
Mo Junyu has great respect for this old man who has taken care of him since he was a child and helped him a lot in his ascension to the throne.
Even if Ling Ruiyin doesn't care about anything now, the treatment Mo Junyu gives Ling Ruiyin in this palace is unique.
Ling Ruiyin was nearly seventy years old, but her body was still very strong. She was surrounded by everyone and entered the room. Seeing Mo Junyu in high spirits, she nodded with satisfaction, "How is the emperor's health lately?"
"My grandson is in good health. Thank you for your concern, Grandma Royal."
While speaking, Mo Junyu had already dismissed his servants, and personally stepped forward to help Ling Ruiyin sit down, and then said: "I don't know if my grandmother has something important to do, but I would like to trouble you to go there in person. If you really need anything, please find someone." Just come, my grandson will come to your palace in person..."
"Okay, okay, the Ai family is not that weak. Let's take these few steps to relax! In this winter, there are not many people in the palace who can talk to the Ai family. The Ai family is really bored." Ling Ruiyin said nonchalantly.
Mo Junyu said hurriedly: "My grandson is not thinking well. From now on, I will definitely go to the imperial grandmother's palace to accompany you."
"Hey, Emperor, you have so many things to do and don't have time, the Ai family can understand. Besides, you are a grown man, how can the Ai family let you run around with women every day? Is this ridiculous?" Ling Ruiyin rejected Mo in a few words. Jun Yu's suggestion.
Mo Junyu finally heard that Ling Ruiyin did not want his company. He hesitated and suggested in a low voice: "Then my grandson will ask the queen to give you morning and dusk sleep on time every day from now on?"
"You don't need to tell me, the Queen has already done it."
"That… "
Mo Junyu really couldn't think of what else Ling Ruiyin wanted right now
I had no choice but to ask directly: "I wonder what grandma thinks?"
Ling Ruiyin glanced at Mo Junyu and said quietly: "Among so many people, the Ai family still likes Xiaoxue'er's company the most, but this girl has stopped coming to the palace in recent days."
Mo Junyu stopped answering.
How could he not understand that Ling Ruiyin was here for Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang's marriage
Ling Ruiyin waited for a while and saw Mo Junyu lowering his eyes and didn't answer.
Turning his eyes, he continued: "Speaking of which, Xiao Xue'er and Mo Shizi's wedding is approaching?"
This was a question, and Mo Junyu could only answer: "Back to grandma, the day to count the year is the ninth day of the next month."
Ling Ruiyin deliberately said 'Oops' and said in surprise: "How come it's so fast! It's time to get married before even the Ai family can react!"
However, Xiaoxueer turned eighteen this year, and it was time to get married. Fortunately, the marriage was decided at the beginning of the year, otherwise the matter of keeping filial piety would be really difficult.
By the way, the emperor gave the newlyweds a decree? "
In the end, it means asking questions knowingly.
But even if he asked the question knowingly, Mo Junyu had to answer it!
He just shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Prince Mo has never discussed this matter with his grandson. How can his grandson take over his duties?"
The reasons are so high-sounding!
Ling Ruiyin thought in her heart: Sure enough, she was angry with Mo Junyang! He deliberately wanted to use this matter to force Mo Junyang to bow his head.
But other things are easy to say. Marriage, which is already considered a good day, cannot be delayed at all!
Ling Ruiyin's voice was a little stern, and she said: "Your Majesty, the emperor's reward for the marriage of his ministers is a manifestation of his great kindness. Naturally, you should take the initiative. How can you wait for other ministers to ask for help eagerly
Of course Mo Junyu also knows this truth, but he is angry with Mo Junyang. Where can he admit defeat, he will bow his head.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Ling Ruiyin had no choice but to say sincerely: "Your Majesty, do you know why your imperial grandfather took control of the Great Mo Kingdom and stayed there for four or five years?"
Mo Junyu vaguely felt that Ling Ruiyin was about to talk to him, so he was not very willing, but he was curious about Mo Shidi's deeds, so he still asked: "Why?"
