Quickly wear the cannon fodder, he made this short-lived script
Chapter 25 Shadow Guard is my father? (5)
Mo Ci, who was in the Imperial College, was holding the homework assigned to him by Wei Zhuoyuan and walking towards where Zuo Xian was taking class, preparing to go back to the courtyard with him.
Before he reached the place, he saw Wei Zhuoyuan, who had just parted with him, hurried over and pulled him into the yard.
"Teacher, I want to wait for Brother Zuo Xian to go back together."
"His Majesty's reward has arrived. It's for you. You must go there in person."
Wei Zhuoyuan felt amused when listening to Mo Ci's words. This kid was really sincere.
Thinking about this, Wei Zhuoyuan's eyes became a little obscure. He wondered what the deep meaning was behind His Majesty's sudden reward to Mo Ci...
Compared to Wei Zhuoyuan, Mo Ci didn't think too much about it. But the reward... wouldn't it be worth a lot of money? Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't have to worry about his mother and could even give her money to spend?
While thinking, the two finally arrived at the yard where Mo Ci lived. At this time, Fude was standing there. When he saw Mo Ci, he smiled with wrinkles on his face.
"Little Master, we meet again."
"Hello, Eunuch Fude," Mo Ci nodded, observing the boxes of rewards behind Fude.
Upon seeing this, Fude shook the whisk in his arm and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
"Your Majesty has issued an oral order. Crown Prince Zhao Huaiqing is intelligent and possesses the talent of a great scholar. I hereby award him ten thousand taels of gold and ten pieces of Shu brocade... I hope that Crown Prince Zhao Huaiqing will study diligently and not slack off. I hereby decree!"
Mo Ci calculated the value of these rewards in his mind, and at the same time, he followed the local customs and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
"Alright, I've delivered the instructions and rewards from my family, so I won't bother you any more. Someone, move the things into your room, and be careful."
"Yes."
Soon, Mo Ci saw boxes of things passing by him and being put into his room.
At this moment, Mo Ci had to be thankful that he had collected all the rats in the corner, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if someone discovered them.
After putting away all the things, Fude also left with his men. This time, it was Wei Zhuoyuan who went to see them off. Mo Ci wanted to go too, but was stopped by Wei Zhuoyuan.
So, Mo Ci could only return to his room alone to count his money.
What was that ten thousand taels of gold? As soon as he heard it, he knew that the reward amount was not small. Mo Ci picked up a gold bar, looked at it, and put it down.
Then he looked at other things, such as cloth for making clothes, hair crowns, and jade pendants worn around the waist. They were of different styles, but all looked very expensive.
Mo Ci looked at these things and wanted to put them all into his own space. However, if he really did that, what if people thought there was a thief?
Thinking about it, Mo Ci did not touch these things for the time being. He planned to put some of the things into the space after a while, and use the rest.
But before that, Mo Ci first selected a few. Zuo Xian and Wei Zhuoyuan had taken so much care of him, so he should give them some gifts in return.
As for those cloths, Mo Ci himself didn't care much about wearing them. Even when he was Shui Qingmiao, he wore fancy clothes, which did not change his indifferent nature towards clothes.
He planned to give all of these to Zhao Huaiqing's mother, who is now his mother.
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had such a good time in the Imperial College, so it's common sense for a son to respect his mother.
After Zuo Xian finished class and learned that Mo Ci had returned, she went straight to the yard and took a look at Mo Ci first. Only after confirming that Mo Ci was fine did she feel relieved.
"Is Huaiqing completing the homework assigned by the chief priest?"
Zuo Xian saw Mo Ci concentrating on writing something at the desk, so she knocked on the open door and asked.
"Brother Zuo Xian, please come in quickly," Mo Ci looked up and saw that it was Zuo Xian. He immediately invited him in and picked up the things at hand while walking towards Zuo Xian.
Hearing Mo Ci's words, Zuo Xian walked into the room as usual, ready to look at Mo Ci's homework and feel the multiple lessons from the chief priest.
Unexpectedly, the first thing that appeared in front of her was a translucent green jade pendant. The jade pendant looked quite beautiful and Zuo Xian fell in love with it at first sight.
"Brother Zuo Xian, this is for you. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Mo Ci had a slight smile on his face. Zuo Xian was surprised for a moment, then reached out to take the jade pendant. She didn't bother to be polite with Mo Ci, but asked about it while holding it in her hand.
"Is it really a gift for me?"
"Ah."
"Thank you, Huaiqing, for still thinking of me. Besides, taking care of you is just a piece of cake, no need to thank me. However, I really like this jade pendant, so I accepted it with a shameless face."
"As for me, it's my thanks. Just take it."
Zuo Xian held the jade pendant and looked at Mo Ci again. She felt that she and Mo Ci really got along well. If it weren't for the big age difference, they could really be very good friends.
However, it’s actually not bad at the moment. Of course, it would be better if Mo Ci was older.
Otherwise, if they go out, they will either be mistaken for father and son or brothers. Wouldn’t that be a mess?
"Okay, okay. By the way, I heard that His Majesty gave you a reward today. This...isn't it a reward?"
"Well, I picked it out especially for you. I thought you would like it."
As he spoke, Mo Ci pointed to the box placed in the corner of the room. After just one glance, Zuo Xian looked away and continued to look at Mo Ci with envy.
"Your Majesty is truly generous in making such a move."
“Who says it’s not…”
Mo Ci's voice was a little low, so Zuo Xian didn't hear it. He knew very well that the more generous the emperor was to him, the greater his ambitions would be.
"However, His Majesty has just bestowed upon me this reward, and you are giving it to me like this. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Zuo Xian said hesitantly, how to put it, he couldn't let go of this jade pendant, but thinking that these were rewards given to Mo Ci by His Majesty, he felt that it would be a bit inappropriate to just take it.
"What's the problem? Since it was given to me by His Majesty, it's mine. Since it's mine, what's the problem with me giving it away?"
After all, Mo Ci was not born and raised in this world, so he did not attach much importance to the so-called distinction between the monarch and his subjects. As for these things, as he said, what was rewarded to him was his.
If he couldn't use these rewards at will, why would the emperor give them to him?
In short, no matter what Zuo Xian thought, Mo Ci delivered the things, diverted Zuo Xian's attention, and asked him a few questions about his studies.
This incident just passed by. At night, Mo Ci continued to sit cross-legged on the bed and meditate. The spiritual energy in this world was weak, but fortunately the crystal that Mo Ci put into the space could be used.
As a result, his cultivation level increased a lot faster. Now, even if he was sitting in the room, he could hear every sound in the entire Imperial College clearly.
Similarly, Mo Ci has been accidentally hearing some things recently, such as King Zhao Yan of Qi.
Although others are not allowed to talk about the royal children, if they gather together quietly and whisper, and no one tells others, there will naturally be no bad impact.
So Mo Ci heard what he wished about Zhao Yan, as well as the complicated love stories between some royal children.
Generally speaking, Prince Zhao Yan of Qi has a girl he likes, but the girl's family is not very powerful, and for him, a prince, the help is almost negligible.
Mo Ci only heard the name of the girl, but one thing is certain: Zhao Yan likes this girl very much. In other words, it is the "true love" often written in storybooks.
Of course, for Mo Ci, this alone is at most a romantic affair of his scumbag father. The strange thing is that the girl Zhao Yan likes is also liked by several princes and kings.
These several princes and nobles are quite interesting. Some of them are married, some have concubines but no wife, and some are still unmarried.
In short, no matter what kind of people these princes were, they were all attracted to the same girl, but no one of them really got her.
According to the gossip, the girl has not married yet. All these princes and nobles like her, but they tacitly do not force her to marry them. Instead, they wait for the girl's final choice.
Not only that, these princes and nobles have done some shocking things for this girl. Mo Ci mainly wanted to hear about things related to Zhao Yan.
It is said that Zhao Yan liked the girl so much that during a certain Qiqiao Festival, he bought all the fireworks in Luojing City just to make the beauty smile.
The fireworks that night were so beautiful that many people talked about them for a long time.
However, some people also said that it was too much for Zhao Yan, a prince with a wife and children at home, to ignore his wife and children and spend most of his money just to make a beautiful woman smile.
After hearing this, Mo Ci suddenly thought of something: why did Zhao Yan want to kill him so badly? Even after knowing that he couldn't kill him for the time being, he gave him a purse with something inside, trying to keep him bedridden?
Perhaps, it was related to the so-called beloved girl. The marriage contract between Zhao Yan and Zhao Huaiqing's mother Zhuang Xinhan was granted by the emperor and could not be changed.
Since Zhao Yan was in true love, he would definitely want to give the position of wife to his beloved girl. Although Zhuang Xinhan did not take the initiative, she did become Zhao Yan's wife.
To Zhao Yan, Zhuang Xinhan was the one who "occupied the magpie's nest", so he would definitely not be happy.
Therefore, there is absolutely no father-son relationship between him and this legitimate son who was not born to the woman he loved.
Is it understandable that Zhao Yan killed him?
Bah! He didn't dare to resist the emperor, and couldn't control his lower body, which led to the birth of Zhao Huaiqing, a child of Zhuang Xinhan. Instead of reflecting on himself, he put all the blame on innocent women and children.
Zhao Yan is really impressive.
After Mo Ci guessed the truth about why Zhao Yan killed him, he looked down on Zhao Yan even more. At the same time, he also became curious about the girl who was liked by so many princes and nobles.
When he was in the world of immortal cultivation, he had seen many women, but he had never seen any woman who could do this.
He was very curious, but thinking about his current age, Mo Ci had to give up and decided to study hard.
next day
As usual, Mo Ci came to Wei Zhuoyuan's residence with his completed homework and a gift for him.
But something was strange today. Wei Zhuoyuan was not here. Mo Ci was a little confused. He didn’t hear Wei Zhuoyuan say yesterday that he had something to do today?
Thinking about this, Mo Ci held the book, found a step and sat on the ground, waiting quietly. Unexpectedly, while he was waiting, the person he was curious about actually came.
At that time, Mo Ci placed the book on his knees. He appeared to be reading, but in fact he was absorbing the thin spiritual energy in the air.
A crisp bell sound rang in his ears. Mo Ci looked up and saw a woman wearing a goose yellow dress and a beautiful hairstyle. The woman looked quite beautiful.
However, Mo Ci was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in the world of immortal cultivation. The one in front of him was not considered beautiful in his opinion, so he only took a glance and then looked away.
Wei Zhuoyuan still hasn't come back, and as for this woman, she came alone.
Wait, not everyone can enter the Imperial College, especially women. Mo Ci thought of this and looked up at the woman again. There was indeed no one else behind the woman.
Mo Ci looked at the woman with a face full of confusion. It seemed that the woman came to look for Wei Zhuoyuan, but unfortunately, Wei Zhuoyuan was not there.
"Miss, please stay."
Mo Ci spoke and stood up. Although he was not very tall when he stood up, because he was standing on the steps, Mo Ci was able to at least look at the other person at eye level.
After Mo Ci spoke, the woman stopped and looked at Mo Ci seriously before speaking.
"You are... the Prince of Qi?"
This sounded like a question, but in fact the other party had already confirmed that Mo Ci was the Prince of Qi. After all, the fact that the Imperial College had admitted a five-year-old child was a hot topic in the whole of Luojing.
In addition, this child was taken away directly from Prince Qi's Mansion by the order of His Majesty. What Mo Ci didn't know was that the news about him had spread throughout Luojing City.
As long as he said he was a student of the Imperial College, and then looking at his appearance, you would know that he was the Prince of Qi.
"Yes, who are you? What are you doing here?"
Mo Ci was a little surprised that the other party knew him, but the surprise only lasted for a moment, and then he began to ask about the other party's identity.
The woman did not try to deceive Mo Ci, but told him the truth, "My name is Liu Qingyin, and I'm here to reminisce with Master Wei."
Liu Qingyin? !
When Mo Ci heard this name, he suddenly felt nauseous as if he had eaten a fly. When he first heard this name, he didn't think much about it. But when he found out that the person Zhao Yan liked was called Liu Qingyin, Mo Ci felt extremely disgusted.
What was Zhao Yan thinking when he named his son "Zhao Huaiqing"? Huaiqing Huaiqing, missing Liu Qingyin?!
It's true, disgusting mother opened the door to disgust, it's disgusting to the extreme.
Mo Ci looked at Liu Qingyin carefully. Although he knew that Zhao Yan was the culprit of the whole incident, when he saw Liu Qingyin, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with her.
Liu Qingyin, seeing that Mo Ci was frowning alone, walked forward a few steps with amusement and reached out to touch Mo Ci.
"Hey, you're so young, why are you frowning? Such a cute child, you should smile more."
Mo Ci dodged Liu Qingyin's movement by moving sideways, but it did not prevent Liu Qingyin from finishing her sentence. However, this sentence made Mo Ci even more impatient.
Always feeling that the woman in front of him was a little weird, Mo Ci frowned and looked at Liu Qingyin. The women he had seen in this world were very limited. Apart from his mother Zhuang Xinhan, there were only some maids and palace maids.
Each of these women strictly abides by the rules, unlike the one in front of him, whose movements seem to be quite disciplined, but more like they are being maintained reluctantly.
Mo Ci couldn't be sure whether there was something wrong with the other party, or whether not all women were so virtuous and abided by the rules.
But Mo Ci was sure of one thing, he didn't like Liu Qingyin in front of him.
"The teacher is not here, and there are many men outside the Imperial College. Miss, please step aside to avoid ruining your reputation."
Mo Ci spoke again, and his words were also very strict and full of rules. Liu Qingyin seemed a little unhappy when she heard it, and immediately said.
"You kid, you're so old-fashioned at such a young age. I always say this kind of education is wrong. Children should play happily. It's good for their physical and mental health."
"Ok?"
Mo Ci didn't quite understand some of the words in her words, but she was wrong. Being happy was good, of course, but in this world, just like that, if he didn't study hard, he would add chips to himself.
Then in time, the person lying underground will definitely be him.
As for everyone else, why does everyone want to pass the imperial examination? Isn't it all about fame and fortune? But there are millions of people in this world. If you don't work hard from the beginning, how can you ever surpass others?
Besides, there are people in this world who are blessed by their ancestors and live happily, but this kind of people are usually categorized as "dandy".
After all, Liu Qingyin's words may be suitable for some people, but definitely not for everyone.
Mo Ci opened his mouth and was about to refute when he saw Wei Zhuoyuan walking towards him from a distance. Mo Ci's eyes lit up and he simply walked up to him.
"teacher!"
