Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 670: Returning to Beijing and hearing the good news

Chen Mo pulled his arm out of Mrs. Xiao's arms and got out of bed naked.

In front of the screen, bright sunlight shone in through the window and sprinkled on the wooden floor. The warm sun was like a blanket of light, draped over the two snow-white and graceful bodies.

Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan's sleeping posture was very indecent, with messy hair. They fell asleep while grabbing each other's hair and Yingyue.

If you look closely, you can see several blue and red handprints on that broad chest, and the plump millstone is also red, indicating that they have hurt each other deeply.

Chen Mo walked around the screen and saw the scene in front of him, his heart was shaken.

Although I enjoyed the pleasure of having two women together last night, I was exhausted from the long journey, and they asked too much of me. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to sleep first. I felt a little regretful that I didn't get to sleep in the same quilt with them.

Now I wake up early in the morning and feel full of energy.

Chen Mo did not wake up the two girls, but lay down next to Xiao Yunxi. Since Xiao Yunxi was lying on her side, Chen Mo pressed his body against her.

He passed his hands under Xiao Yunxi's armpits, took Madam Gan's hands away, and became the "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King".

However, what is different from the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is that what Chen Mo supports is twice as much as what he supports.

In last night's horse-racing game, Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan "competed" and lost more than they won.

And since Chen Mo had already fallen asleep, the punishment for losing was a spanking and the sentence "My courage is not made of dough."

Because she lost so badly, it almost became Xiao Yunxi's obsession, so she played horses with Madam Gan in her dreams.

But in the dream, Xiao Yunxi always won and Madam Gan always lost.

She made Mrs. Gan lick the soles of her shoes, empty her chamber pot, and shouted "I'm a bitch."

In the dream, Xiao Yunxi washed away her humiliation and made Madam Gan "submit to her".

But just when the latest round of horse racing started.

She actually lost to Mrs. Gan.

Mrs. Gan immediately burst into laughter, her face full of pride.

At this moment, she felt a little scared, worried that the other party would retaliate against her for all the punishment she had previously inflicted on her.

really.

She saw Mrs. Gan taking something from somewhere... and walking slowly towards her with a ferocious smile on her face.

Xiao Yunxi knew what Madam Gan wanted to do, and there was fear on her face.

"No." Xiao Yunxi screamed and woke up.

At this moment, Mrs. Gan, who was holding the rolling pin, disappeared, and the other person lay in front of her like Sleeping Beauty.

Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but let out a sweet hum from her nose. Her body became numb and weak, and a gentle voice came to her ears: "Yunxi, you're awake."

Xiao Yunxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, she turned around and said, "Husband."

"It's good that you're awake. I'll take you for morning exercises." Chen Mo's eyes were warm and smiling under his sword-like brows, and he lifted Xiao Yunxi's long legs with one hand.

"No." Xiao Yunxi was about to speak, but her voice suddenly trembled. Looking at Madam Gan lying in front of her, she immediately raised her hand to cover her red lips, fearing that her heavenly voice would be heard by the other party.

A hint of grievance appeared in those watery autumn eyes.

But soon, the grievance disappeared, and her beautiful eyes were filled with joy and attachment.

The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied was the sunlight coming in through the window, shining right on her face.

The sunshine in August is hot and makes people feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Yunxi kept turning her head back, trying to avoid the sunlight.

But Chen Mo thought she wanted to kiss him, so he held her face and leaned forward.

Xiao Yunxi's pupils dilated slightly, and she struggled a little, her cheeks flushed with shame, but after a moment, she closed her eyes and cooperated.

At this moment, Mrs. Gan opposite had her eyelashes trembling, and her eyes opened slightly, but closed in an instant. Her fair face gradually turned red, and her heart was beating wildly.

"These two people, early in the morning..."

Something seemed to be wrong with Mrs. Gan's delicate body.

Less than half an hour later.

Just when Mrs. Gan could no longer pretend, the storm finally subsided.

Just as Mrs. Gan breathed a sigh of relief, someone grabbed her arm and pushed her with a little force. She was lying on her back instead of on her side.

"Husband, come quickly, she is pretending to be asleep." Xiao Yunxi pressed Madam Gan under her.

Mrs. Gan knew that she had been discovered, so she immediately opened her eyes and tried to struggle to get up, but she could not move at all.

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yunxi, who had a cold face, and soon she became angry: "Get out of here."

"Why are you so fierce?" Xiao Yunxi raised her hand and pinched her. She was not as gentle and considerate as Chen Mo, but she applied force.

Madam Gan almost burst into tears and struggled hard to break free, but unfortunately she was no match for Xiao Yunxi.

Because Xiao Yunxi was holding down her arms, she couldn't use any strength with her hands.

Seeing the huge fruits dangling before her eyes, Mrs. Gan became angry and started to speak.

But soon Mrs. Gan felt as if she was biting into a hard wall.

Xiao Yunxi looked down at the grinning Madam Gan and sneered, "Are you dumbfounded? I am a mid-level warrior."

Xiao Yunxi was playing games last night and she was quite principled and didn't use her innate spiritual energy.

But now, she would not talk about martial ethics with Mrs. Gan and would just suppress her with force.

Mrs. Gan: "You..."

This time it was Mrs. Gan's turn to be angry.

Chen Mo looked at the two people who were fighting again, shook his head and smiled, and patted Xiao Yunxi's grinding wheel: "Okay, Yunxi, stop making trouble, let her go."

"Husband, you haven't taken her for morning exercise yet." Xiao Yunxi refused.

"It's getting late, we should get up and leave, otherwise Mi'er and the others will urge us. You don't want them to know that you are with Madam Xiao and the others, right?" Chen Mo said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yunxi quickly let go of Madam Gan. Feeling a little disappointed, she did not teach her a lesson and snorted coldly, "You're lucky."

"Hmph." Mrs. Gan also snorted as a response, but she was also a little disappointed in her heart. She actually hoped that Chen Mo would take her for morning exercises.

……

Xiao Yunxi deliberately went back to her room before walking towards the first floor of the ship.

"Morning."

Wu Mi and the others were having breakfast. When they saw Xiao Yunxi coming over to say hello, they responded with a smile.

"Where is my husband? Which sister slept with you last night?" Xiao Yunxi sat down expressionlessly, as if she was an award-winning actor.

As soon as she said this, Wu Mi and the others were fine, but Xia Zhining looked at her strangely and then directly exposed her: "Don't you know this?"

"What do I know?" Xiao Yunxi was still pretending.

"You were not in your room last night." Xia Zhiqing said.

Xiao Yunxi wanted to say more, but she saw Xiao Ya pulling her dress and whispered, "Aunt, stop talking. Everyone knows that you went to see Madam Xiao last night and didn't come back all night."

The ship was only this big, and at night the girls' attention was almost all on Chen Mo. In the morning, they only needed to ask around to find out what was going on.

Hearing this, Xiao Yunxi's face turned red, and she wanted to bury her head under the table, she was so ashamed.

Seeing Xiao Yunxi like this, Xia Zhining thought to herself, "Prince Huai has provoked him. He is really unlucky for eight lifetimes."

...After breakfast, the fleet set off towards Huaizhou across the river.

At noon, we got ashore. The local county magistrate had received the news and had already arranged a cavalry, so there was no delay at all. We got on the carriage and headed towards Tianchuan.

At the end of August, we arrived at Hexi.

The convoy stopped.

Chen Mo accompanied Chu Juan to the Li family's ancestral home and met Chu Juan's mother, Madam Hui.

After meeting Madam Hui and knowing that Chen Mo had not deceived her, Chu Juan hugged Madam Hui and cried with joy.

Chen Mo did not disturb them and let the mother and daughter talk alone.

Chen Mo stayed with Chu Juan in the Li family's ancestral home for a day and then left.

Chu Juan wanted to take Madam Hui to the capital to take care of her in her old age, but Madam Hui disagreed, saying that she was living a good life here and planned to spend the rest of her life here. She told Chu Juan that if she missed her, she could come and see her.

Seeing this, Chu Juan had no choice but to give up trying to persuade her.

Before leaving, Chu Juan left a rejuvenation pill for Madam Hui, which Chen Mo asked her to give to Madam Hui.

After reuniting with the convoy, Chen Mo took Liang Xue to the Liang family to return to their ancestral home.

The Liang family, which had been suppressed with an iron fist, learned that Chen Mo was coming, and a group of elders went out ten miles to welcome him and treated Chen Mo as a guest of honor.

When Chen Mo married Liang Xue, it was not done in a proper way.

Now is a good time to take advantage of Liang Xue's return to her ancestral home to complete the process of taking a concubine.

Things like witnesses, marriage certificates, family tree registration, etc., all are included.

After staying at the Liang family for a day, Chen Mo took Liang Xue away.

After reuniting with the convoy, Chen Mo accompanied Ning Wan to the Ning family again.

When the Ning family learned that Yuzhou had "fallen" and Ning Wan had been captured, for the sake of their reputation, they announced to the public that Ning Wan was dead, and they also removed Ning Wan's name from the family tree.

Although Ning Wan was very disappointed with her family, after all, the Ning family was her roots, and she still wanted to go back and visit if she had the chance.

……

September 10th.

The convoy arrived in Tianchuan.

Sun Meng brought his personal guards to escort Chen Mo's family to the Prince of Wei's Palace in the city. Chen Mo left the team and brought the scholars who passed the palace examination to the palace to meet the emperor.

thump—

thump—

thump—

The bell rings nine.

The sound not only resounded throughout the entire palace, but also throughout the 186 districts of Tianchuan City. The common people, princes and nobles, all looked in the direction of the palace.

This is a treatment that only those who hold the highest position in the government and have not entered the palace for a long time can enjoy, to show how much Your Majesty values ​​this person.

On the dragon throne in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Yong'an, dressed in a dragon robe, sat upright, his eyes fixed outside the hall. In his eyes, a black dot gradually enlarged and turned into a figure.

It was a handsome face, and he looked harmless, not a ruthless character, but Emperor Yong'an felt a chill in his heart.

Wang Chufeng of Nanping County was labeled a traitor by Chen Mo just because he refused to obey him. He was taken to the capital and executed some time ago.

The order to execute the emperor was issued by Emperor Yong'an under pressure from his ministers.

Although Emperor Yong'an was a puppet, he also understood that Chu Feng was truly loyal to the royal family and was committed to protecting the Chu dynasty.

Chen Mo held the hilt of the sword, looking straight ahead, and strode to the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He came to the bottom of the dragon throne, straightened his back, raised his hand and saluted: "Your Highness, Chen Mo, pays respect to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long, long live the Emperor."

It is his right to wear sword and shoes when entering the palace and not to bow when entering the court, so Chen Mo is not being disrespectful to Emperor Yong'an.

"No need to be polite." Emperor Yong'an raised his hand and said, "I heard that the King of Wei returned to the capital this time to bring the winners of the imperial examination for me and the Song Dynasty, who are the pillars of the country."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Mo nodded slightly, and then said: "They are waiting outside the palace for His Majesty's summons."

"Then let them in quickly." said Emperor Yong'an.

Chen Mo nodded to the eunuch standing next to Emperor Yong'an.

Soon, a loud voice sounded.

"Announce the new scholars to enter the palace."

"Announce, the new scholars enter the palace!"

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, at the foot of the white stone steps, the newly-appointed scholars, dressed neatly, suppressed their excitement and walked slowly up the steps.

In fact, at this moment, they are not considered true Jinshi.

Only after meeting the emperor and being granted the title of Jinshi, Jinshi origin, or Jinshi origin, can one be considered a true Jinshi.

In their hearts, the Golden Palace was solemn and should not be desecrated, so after entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they did not dare to look around. They kept their heads down all the way to the center of the hall, and at the signal of the eunuch leading the way, they saluted towards Emperor Yong'an above.

During the ceremony, they wanted to bend their waists to 90 degrees for fear of making any mistakes.

Even after Emperor Yong'an said no need to bow, they did not dare to look up, but they dared to look around with their peripheral vision.

Because it was not a court meeting, there were very few people in the Golden Palace.

They immediately noticed Chen Mo sitting down and the weapon he was wearing around his waist.

Even though he knew Chen Mo had the power, he still couldn't hide his shock when he saw it with his own eyes. This was the Golden Palace.

Next, they discovered that Emperor Yong'an had to ask Chen Mo's opinion on every matter, and only after Chen Mo nodded would Emperor Yong'an smile and grant his approval.

Moreover, Emperor Yong'an always spoke in a gentle voice when talking to Chen Mo.

At this moment, they discovered that the emperor was just like this.

It is also clearer how powerful Chen Mo is.

Next, Sun Cheng, Guo Ning and Wang Haosheng were awarded the title of Jinshi.

He was awarded the second-class Jinshi degree.

The third place was granted the same status as the Jinshi.

Their arrangements and the official positions they will be given will have to wait until tomorrow morning to be announced.

At this point, today's meeting between Sun Cheng, Guo Ning and others has come to an end.

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Chen Mo went to the Hall of Hanyuan, ready to discuss with Geng Songfu how to arrange for Sun Cheng, Guo Ning and others.

But before he reached Hanyuan Hall, a figure that Chen Mo had been thinking about came into his sight.

"Ruyan." If there wasn't someone else next to her, Chen Mo would have wanted to hug her directly.

Yue Ruyan gave Chen Mo a look, and Chen Mo immediately understood and followed her to a corner where no one could see them.

Before Chen Mo could say that he missed Yue Ruyan, the latter said seriously, "Husband, the Queen Mother is pregnant."

Chen Mo: "..."

ps: Thank you all for your monthly tickets and rewards!
