The three of them found a private room, Mo Jinghong ordered the dishes, and A Falcon went out. Wen Qingcheng stood up and murmured, "Why is A Falcon out? Let him eat with us." Wen Qingcheng had no concept of class. In her eyes, A Falcon was a friend.

"You care so much about your brother Axuan." Mo Jinghong was surprised after he said this. How could he say such sour words and even be jealous of the shadow guard?

"He got caught in the rain. We are eating here. It's not a good idea to let him stand outside."

Mo Jinghong called the waiter and opened a separate table for Ah Falcon in the next room. "You can rest assured now."

Wen Qingcheng smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Mo is doing the job, I have no worries, I'll treat you to the meal.

"When you come out to eat with me, there's no reason for the girl to pay." Mo Jinghong raised his eyebrows when he heard Wen Qingcheng rushing to pay the bill.

"Give me a chance to show off. The young lady of the Ji Mansion was very generous today. I have money in my hand now, and I will feel uncomfortable if I don't spend it."

Mo Jinghong was amused by Wen Qingcheng, so he agreed to her request. It was raining heavily outside the window. Every autumn rain brought a chill. The moisture seeped into the room through the window cracks, bringing a hint of coolness.

The waiter brought the hot pot, and soon the bottom of the pot began to bubble. Mo Jinghong and Wen Qingcheng were sweating on their foreheads as they ate.

After eating and drinking, Wen Qingcheng saw that the rain was gradually getting lighter, but it had not stopped yet, so she told Mo Jinghong about what happened at Ji's house this afternoon.

"The Ji Mansion is really luxurious, with a large space and many servants. I heard from Madam Zhai that their master used to be an official in Beijing and was the Prince's tutor. Did you know him in Kyoto before?"

"Of course I recognize him. This Master Ji is highly respected and was once the teacher of the current emperor. He also taught the current crown prince for a few years when he was young, but he later resigned from his position."

Wen Qingcheng said, "So he is a respected elder. You seem to know him very well."

"I was the prince's companion, and was taught by Master Ji for several years."

Wen Qingcheng became interested, "You studied with the prince? You have a really strong background."

Mo Jinghong smiled, "I don't want him to be my backer just because he's the crown prince. We have had similar interests since we were young, and he treats me like a brother."

Wen Qingcheng knew that the emperor was cold-hearted. Even brothers in the palace would kill each other, let alone they were cousins. She was afraid that Mo Jinghong treated the prince as a brother, and when interests were at stake, he might not treat him sincerely.

"If he really treated you like a brother, he wouldn't have come to look for you even though you were being hunted and missing for nearly a year." Wen Qingcheng said disapprovingly.

Wen Qingcheng didn't notice that Mo Jinghong's face suddenly darkened. She picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, then said solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense about the prince."

Wen Qingcheng was startled. Seeing him suddenly become so serious, she wondered if she had said something wrong. Mo Jinghong was afraid that Wen Qingcheng would think too much, so he softened his tone and explained, "The situation in the court is complicated, and the prince is in a difficult situation. He is a very loyal person. We are friends who have lived together for a lifetime, and we are brothers who can die for each other."

"Oh." Wen Qingcheng responded lightly. Although Mo Jinghong didn't say anything, Wen Qingcheng was a little unhappy. Perhaps in Mo Jinghong's heart, this prince was much more important than her. She just questioned him and his face darkened.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy again?" Mo Jinghong noticed Wen Qingcheng's low mood, but Wen Qingcheng has always been carefree, and Mo Jinghong didn't know that she would think too much about this.

Originally, Wen Qingcheng lived a heartless life with a bit of a nervous breakdown, but after she and Mo Jinghong had a mutual understanding, she became more sensitive.

Wen Qingcheng nodded and looked at him with her bright eyes, "You were so fierce just now."

Although Wen Qingcheng was dissatisfied with Mo Jinghong for considering his brothers more important than his life, she would not ask stupid questions like who is more important, me or your brother.

When Mo Jinghong saw her look like a wounded little white rabbit, his heart suddenly softened and he stood up and sat next to Wen Qingcheng.

Wen Qingcheng felt the warmth coming from beside her, as well as the unique smell on his body, and shuddered all over, but when she thought that she was still angry, she turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"I'm not mean to you." Mo Jinghong explained patiently, stretching out his arms to hug her, but then he thought that she hadn't agreed to be with him yet, and was afraid that she would get even angrier, so he suppressed the urge to hug her.

Mo Jinghong felt indescribable helplessness in facing the girl he liked, as he had to endure and restrain his feelings. He became more determined to make a career and ask the emperor to grant them marriage. Then no one would dare to stop them from being together.

"What do you want me to do with you?" Mo Jinghong sighed softly and looked at Wen Qingcheng with burning eyes.

Wen Qingcheng was the first one who couldn't stand the burning gaze and didn't look at him. "I can't do anything to you. I'm not angry."

It wasn't until Wen Qingcheng smiled that Mo Jinghong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that coaxing a girl is also a science. Fortunately, his girl is emotionally stable and not the type to make trouble for no reason.

The two chatted for a while, and when the rain stopped, they got up early to leave for fear that Ye Xiuying would worry. They passed by a roasted food store and bought some sugar-roasted chestnuts, dried apricots, and melon seeds to bring back for Ye Xiuying and Wen Zicheng. Mo Jinghong even waved his hand and asked Ah Falcon to buy a lot of delicious food.

When they got home, Ye Xiuying was cooking in the kitchen. Zicheng saw Mo Jinghong coming back and ran over to him. "I brought you some delicious food, take it inside to eat." Mo Jinghong helped Wen Qingcheng get out of the carriage and pointed to the carriage.

Zicheng jumped three feet high with joy, and moved things down with Axuan, "Wow, there are pork elbows with rock sugar, steamed rice and egg cakes, and fried nuts."

Wen Qingcheng came to the kitchen, and Ye Xiuying said with a smile: "You're back. Is everything going well? The food will be ready soon. You can go inside and rest first."

"Mom, just make one dish. It was raining when we came back this afternoon, so I went to eat hot pot with Brother Mo and Brother Axuan. We also brought back some pork elbows, which are all ready-made. You don't have to cook."

In the evening, even though Wen Qingcheng and the others had already eaten, she still sat at the dining table and had dinner with her family.

After dinner, Wen Qingcheng did not compete with them to wash the dishes, but went to the kitchen with the medicine she brought back from Ji's house.

"Qingcheng, you went out to treat patients, why did you bring medicine back?" Ye Xiuying watched Wen Qingcheng going in and out of the kitchen, soaking the medicine in a small basin.

"I have my own decoction method, and they don't know how to do it." Wen Qingcheng uses the decoction equipment in her own space, and also uses spiritual spring water to decoct. The spiritual spring water itself has healing power. After soaking for a while, she only needs to put it into the decoction equipment in the space, set the parameters, and it will be decocted and automatically packaged soon. Her decoction equipment can not only make liquid medicine, but also make granular dosage forms if it is added with auxiliary materials such as sucrose and dextrin.

Before going to bed, Ye Xiuying asked twice when the medicine would be boiled, but Wen Qingcheng evaded the question. After the family returned to the house, Wen Qingcheng put the medicine into the space and boiled it automatically in the medicine-boiling machine.
