Chapter 732: The Emotional Nalan Yiren

No matter how strong a woman is, she will also have moments of weakness. However, she will not show this weakness but hide it in her heart.

Chen Mo's words, coupled with the leisurely environment around them, made Nalan Yiren relax her guard and resonate with his emotions, so she revealed her vulnerability in front of others. Of course, there was another reason, which was that she trusted Chen Mo and had a good impression of him.

At this moment, she was the saddest and most eager for care. Chen Mo's action of holding her in his arms and comforting her softly touched Nalan Yiren's heart the most.

Facing Chen Mo's embrace, Nalan Yiren not only did not resist, but instead nestled her head in Chen Mo's chest. The masculine aura belonging to a man made Nalan Yiren feel at ease, just like a fishing boat that had found a safe haven.

Chen Mo, who was extremely experienced in this area, knew that he absolutely could not do anything to her at this time. If he wanted to take advantage of her, he should at least wait until her emotions calmed down, otherwise all the preparations before would be in vain.

Chen Mo said in a gentle voice: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm here for you in the future. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Chen Mo raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

With Chen Mo's comfort, Nalan Yiren calmed down and felt much better. The moment she raised her head slightly, her eyes met Chen Mo's and her heart skipped a beat.

Nalan Yiren was only half a head shorter than Chen Mo. Seeing this, Chen Mo tentatively moved his cheek forward a few centimeters and moved closer to her.

This time, Chen Mo actually saw her slowly close her eyes and slightly raise her crystal chin.

But her hands couldn't help but clench the corners of her tight-fitting top.

Chen Mo knew that the other party was being emotional.

Of course he would not let go of such a good opportunity. He tilted his cheek slightly and their lips touched each other.

Chen Mo took advantage of the situation and pinched Nalan Yiren's chin, greedily demanding it.

Nalan Yiren's bare hands, which were clutching the corner of her clothes, first hugged Chen Mo's back in panic, then shyly withdrew them, until Chen Mo's other hand hugged her back tightly, and then she hugged Chen Mo's back with both hands again.

The kiss lasted for a long time, and neither of them seemed to have any intention of stopping.

During this time, the two took a breath to avoid suffocation from the kiss.

Nalan Yiren's breathing began to become heavier, and when it sprayed on Chen Mo's face, it was still hot.

His hands changed from hugging Chen Mo's back to hugging Chen Mo's neck, and the hug became tighter and tighter.

Chen Mo released the hand that was pinching Nalan Yiren's chin, held her head, and ran his five fingers through her hair at the back of her head.

A slight tremor burst out from Nalan Yiren's nose, and her body gradually became weak, as if something was about to be uncontrollable.

Then, Chen Mo gradually felt himself getting numb, and his senses were slowly disappearing. However, he was reluctant to separate, so he continued to kiss her even though he felt numb.

Nalan Yiren didn't notice that she was also a little dazed at the moment.

This kiss felt good, much more pleasant than the previous two times.

Isn't it? The first two times, Chen Mo used force and sneak attacks, and he was the only one who was emotionally invested. But this time, Nalan Yiren also invested her emotions in the kiss.

While Chen Mo was kissing her, she glanced at the surroundings, because she found that Nalan Yiren's delicate body was getting softer and softer, and she could hardly stand. Holding her and kissing her like this, Chen Mo felt tired, the kind of tiredness that was difficult to control.

While kissing her, Chen Mo moved to the left, and soon, her back was leaning against the pillar of the garden pavilion.

Next, Chen Mo's offensiveness became more and more intense.

Nalan Yiren had only been kissed twice before and was still a novice. How could she resist Chen Mo's demands? She soon lost herself.
After their lips parted, Chen Mo's lips were completely numb. They didn't feel like his own. The numbness even spread to his face, making the corners of his mouth become somewhat uncontrollable and uncoordinated.

But he did not hold back, instead he moved closer to her neck.
Nalan Yiren hummed twice, her pale face became more and more rosy, and she gradually held his head with both hands.
The moon was hanging high in the sky, and its bright moonlight shone on the two of them, stretching their shadows that were hugging each other very long.

If this continues, this kiss will last for a very long time.

But as Chen Mo kissed more and more, he became dissatisfied with this. He became more greedy and wanted more.

His big hands couldn't help but pull down the collar of her black tights, longing for the collarbone and chest wrapped in the tights...

When Chen Mo started to pull, Nalan Yiren did not resist, or perhaps she was still immersed in it and did not react.

Until Chen Mo was buried in...

Nalan Yiren's pale skin turned slightly red, which made her eyes suddenly open. She was a little dazed for a moment, then lowered her eyes. In an instant, a cold look appeared on her face, and she slapped Chen Mo's head in shame and anger.

At this moment, even a god would not be able to react, let alone Chen Mo who is not a god. Although the innate spiritual energy that protected his body was aroused, the force that covered him still made him step back several steps, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Mmmmm. Mmmmm."

Chen Mo wanted to say something, but what came out in the end was a humming sound.

It turned out that Chen Mo's mouth had swelled up like a bee puppy due to the spread of the poison, which was much worse than the first time he kissed. Because his face was also affected, he couldn't make any coordinated expressions.

After quickly straightening her collar, Nalan Yiren wanted to continue teaching Chen Mo a lesson, but when she looked up and saw Chen Mo's appearance at the moment, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Then she realized that this was not in line with her reaction, and she tried her best to control herself. The result was that her facial expressions kept changing, and she looked like she couldn't help laughing.

"You deserve it." Nalan Yiren curled the corner of her mouth, did not pursue Chen Mo any further, and turned and left.

"Mmmmm. Mmmmm."

Chen Mo asked Nalan Yiren to wait and help him detoxify, but after he spoke, all he could do was mumble.

Chen Mo originally wanted to chase after her, but thinking that the poison would only last for half an hour, he gave up the idea and let her enjoy herself for a while.

Tonight, Chen Mo did not go to sleep with Wu Mi and the others.

Because half an hour later, Chen Mo found that the effect had been somewhat reduced, but not completely eliminated.

Chen Mo would not let his woman see such an embarrassing situation, so he planned to spend the night in his own bedroom.

……

Star Observation Tower.

The night is like water.

The moonlight shrouded the vast back garden like a thin veil of mist.

On the third floor of the Observatory, Nalan Yiren was sitting in front of the dressing table after taking a bath. At this moment, she was wearing a white low-cut palace skirt that she had never worn before. She had a graceful figure, and a large area of ​​snow-white skin on her neck and chest. Maybe it was because she had just taken a bath, her face did not look so sickly pale, but a little rosy, and her face was cold and beautiful.

Nalan Yiren, holding a comb and looking at herself in the bronze mirror, has been maintaining this posture in a daze for nearly half a quarter of an hour.

All that flashed through her mind were the scenes of kissing Chen Mo in the back garden just now. Her eyes were slightly dazed, as if she was savoring the memory.

After a while, Nalan Yi came back to his senses. He quickly suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and then spat at someone in a low voice.

As she spat, her mind couldn't help but recall the previous scene. She raised a jade finger and placed it on her lips. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling surged from the depths of her heart.

She liked this feeling very much.

……

The next day, it was dark.

Chen Mo was awakened by the eunuch from two meters away, who said that His Majesty should attend the morning court.

Well, from ancient times to the present, morning court has always been very early.

It was usually held between 3am and 7am. During the morning court session, the ministers had to wait outside the Meridian Gate at 3am until the palace gates opened at around 5am, and officials could enter the palace.

Chen Mo would get up around this time to wash and prepare for the morning court session.

In the past, when Chen Mo was still a minister, he could choose whether to attend the morning court.

But now that he is the emperor, he cannot be absent from work. If he is absent, the more upright censors will advise him that his majesty has been slacking off.

If the absence lasted for a long time, the ministers would submit a memorial.

At the same time, it will also be recorded in history books.

However, this situation generally does not occur in the founding monarch.

Throughout history, most of the founding emperors have been very diligent.

Chen Mo also wanted to set an example for future emperors of the Wei Dynasty. Since he ascended the throne, he had never been absent from work and had handled state affairs diligently.

But the result of this is that not only is it tiring, but it also delays your cultivation.

Chen Mo even thought that in previous history, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet and the Qing Dynasty Grand Council might have had the same reason.

Anyway, he has already planned to form a cabinet. When the child grows up, he will directly abdicate the throne to Chen Jia. It will be enough for him to be emperor for a while. There is no need to continue to be the emperor, which may easily cause discord between father and son.

Especially in a world where one man's power can sometimes rival that of an entire army, all you have to do is make yourself strong.

He came to the bronze mirror and found that the pain in his mouth had disappeared and the numbness was gone, which would not affect his morning court session.

Several important matters were discussed during today's morning court session.

The first thing was that Geng Songfu advised that Chen Mo's great achievements were comparable to those of the previous Emperor Taizu, and that he should go to Mount Ziwei to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, which is the so-called Fengshan.

Ziwei Mountain is the highest mountain in the world.

Thousands of years ago, emperors had been offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Ziwei, which later became a symbol of the emperors being appointed by heaven. Later, any emperor who had made some achievements would go to Mount Ziwei to offer sacrifices to the gods and announce their great achievements to heaven.

In a word, if an emperor with a little ambition does not go to Mount Ziwei to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, then his status as an emperor will not be complete.

Among the emperors of the previous dynasties, most were quite self-aware. Except for Emperor Taizu of Song, none of the dozen or so emperors that followed went to Mount Ziwei for Fengshan.

Of course, precisely because of this, Chen Mo felt that it would be better to go for the Fengshan ceremony when his achievements at least surpassed those of Emperor Taizu of Song.

Otherwise, Chen Mo would feel that the Wei Dynasty he established was not as good as the Song Dynasty established by the other party.

As for Emperor Taizu of Song, he defeated the Jin and Xia dynasties for hundreds of years and even entered the realm of the first-class celestial being.

I am still a little bit away from him.

So when Geng Songfu was proposed to be enthroned, Chen Mo refused.

The second thing is Shu Prefecture.

Wu Yanqing said that Zhao Liang, who was sent to garrison in Shu Prefecture, and the officials who went to Shu Prefecture to take office were driven back by Yang Xian.

And this is not the first time.

This also made Chen Mo frown.

The last time Yang Qingqing came back, Chen Mo asked her to write another letter back to explain her bottom line to Yang Xian.

But so far, there has been no news.

Combined with what Wu Yanqing said, it is obvious that Yang Xian did not agree with Chen Mo's request.

In that case, don't blame him.

"Where are Wu Yanqing, Nalan Yiren, and Diwu Fusheng?"

"I'm here." Wu Yanqing, Nalan Yiren and Diwu Fusheng stepped forward one after another.

"I order Wu Yanqing as the commander-in-chief of the southwest route, Nalan Yiren as the deputy commander-in-chief, Diwu Fusheng as the military advisor, and select 10,000 Shenwu Guards and 30,000 Xianzhen Guards, a total of 40,000 troops, to march to Shu Prefecture. Try your best to avoid starting a war, and bring Yang Xian back to the capital for me." Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

"promise."

Wu Yanqing, Nalan Yiren and Diwu Fusheng all responded respectfully.

The reason why Chen Mo appointed Nalan Yiren as deputy commander.

It was because many ministers had heard of the other party's strength but had never seen it with their own eyes. In addition, Nalan Yiren was neither a loyal minister nor had she made any contributions to the Wei Dynasty. But now she has been appointed to such an important position as the National Master. It is inevitable that there will be some gossip, and people will think that Chen Mo is nepotism.

Even with Chen Mo's prestige, he can completely suppress it, but if it can be resolved, it is always better to resolve it.

The purpose of this trip to Shu Prefecture is to increase Nalan Yiren's merits.

When she returns from Shu Prefecture, no one will gossip about her anymore.

After that, it’s a matter of changing positions.

Chang'en, Cui Shuang and others have been stationed at the border for nearly two years. Youzhou is bitterly cold, so it is time to transfer them back and replace them with others to garrison there.

Zhao Liang and Liang Ying volunteered.

Both of them are middle-grade warriors.

As for Liang Ying, he is a member of the younger generation that the Liang family arranged to serve in the army after Liang Ji was named Concubine Lan by Chen Mo. He is also an elite seed that the Liang family focuses on cultivating.

Chen Mo also understood why the two of them volunteered.

After all, the former was a general under King Huai and surrendered to Chen Mo. Although he was later made a marquis by Chen Mo for his meritorious service, he was always excluded from the core circle and was not eligible for some important official positions.

Therefore, Zhao Liang should want to make more contributions and improve his status.

Not to mention Liang Ying's words.

Chen Mo agreed to their request.

……

End of morning court.

As soon as Chen Mo returned to the bedroom, Yang Qingqing learned the news and came to him with red eyes.

Chen Mo didn't want to see her at first, because he could guess why she came to see him.

But after thinking about it, I decided to meet her anyway.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Qingqing came in, she knelt down in front of Chen Mo and pleaded for her father Yang Xian.

Chen Mo sighed, stepped forward to help Yang Qingqing up, and said: "I gave him a chance, and more than once."

"But Your Majesty, he... he is my biological father after all." Yang Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears.
