Who wants to learn sewing skills while dating?

They played until very late that day. When returning to the palace, Chu Yun climbed over the wall again and ran into Eunuch Li who was squatting behind the palace wall.

Seeing Chu Jun doing such a dangerous thing, Eunuch Li naturally frowned and did not look at Chu Jun well.

The little emperor still knew that he was guilty, so he pulled Mo Heng in front of him, avoided Li Yu's gaze, and slipped back to Yong'an Palace in small steps.

When I returned to the bedroom, it was around midnight. No matter how lively the palace banquet was, it should have ended and the palace had returned to silence.

After Chu Jun finished packing, he lay on the bed, still immersed in excitement: "I have wanted to do this for a long time, but no one was willing to play with me before."

"I will accompany Your Majesty every year from now on." Facing Chu Jun, Mo Heng naturally indulged her unconditionally.

"Hmm." Chu Jun turned sideways and looked at Mo Heng who was sitting at the head of the bed. He chattered non-stop, becoming more and more excited.

"Once the court is stable, we can go on a secret tour together and visit places farther away from the capital. I've been staying in the palace for so long that I'm almost getting sick from boredom."

"We can also go to the south. It's warm in winter there. The purple bamboo tea that Ah Heng loves to drink is grown there. We can go to the Gongcha Garden over there and take a look."

"But it will probably take some time. I have to preside over the palace examination in the spring of this year. I will probably be very busy then, and the situation in the court will change again. But fortunately, the palace examination only takes place once every three years."

"I wonder what kind of person will appear in this year's palace examination? The protagonists of the stories in the novels are mostly Tanhualang, and they are described as extremely handsome. I wonder if Tanhualang is really that good-looking."

"Of course, your Excellency is the most beautiful in my heart, the most handsome in the world."

“There are so many things to do this year. I hope I can finish them quickly…”

Chu Jun fell asleep while talking, with a smile on his face. It seemed that being able to leave the palace today would really make him happy for a while.

After listening to what Chu Jun said, Mo Heng actually began to look forward to the new year.

I hope Your Majesty will be happy every day in the new year.

"Upon—"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

On the first day after the holiday, Chu Yun had to get up early to attend court. Only then did Chu Yun truly feel that not everyone could be the emperor. The mere requirement of getting up early made Chu Yun want to give up.

Despite his wild thoughts, Chu Jun remained serious and nodded slightly, motioning for the ministers to stand up. He then said, "My dear ministers, what do you wish to report today?"

The ministers in the audience were all firing on all cylinders, eager to report everything they had missed during the Spring Festival.

The Minister of Rites was the first to step out, bowing respectfully. His voice boomed, "Your Majesty, this year's imperial examination has concluded, and all the candidates have been selected. Your Majesty will preside over the palace examination and determine this year's top scholar."

Chu Yun nodded: "The imperial examination is the foundation of the country's talent selection. The palace examination will be held on the first day of next month. I will personally preside over it."

The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Western Kingdom has recently asked our country for help again. We need to send more troops to assist them."

···

After each department came forward to speak, the head of the Wei family, who had always been obedient in the court, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the position of empress has been vacant for a long time. April 6th of this year is an auspicious day. Why not hold a selection ceremony to enrich the harem?"

"I have no intention of choosing a concubine." Chu Jun said this for who knows how many times. He was almost tired of it. Why didn't these ministers give up?

Wei Ling was also troubled by Chu Yun's stubbornness and refused to give up, saying, "Your Majesty must consider his offspring. The country cannot be without an heir."

Now that the matter has been raised to the level of "Crown Heir", it is not so easy to end. Those old guys will have to quarrel for several hours.

Chu Jun didn't want to work overtime on his first day back from the holiday, so he quickly interrupted Wei Ling and said, "We'll discuss this later. Dismiss!"

"Ah Heng!"

Mo Heng was a little surprised when he heard Chu Jun's voice coming from far away outside the house.

Today Chu Jun left court earlier than usual, as he had not yet finished the tasks at hand.

However, now that Chu Jun is back, Mo Heng's attention will naturally no longer be focused on irrelevant people.

Ignoring the person lying on the ground, Mo Heng carefully cleaned the area with a handkerchief and turned to Xiao Jiu, saying, "Clean it up and don't let His Majesty notice."

"Yes." Xiaojiu took the order and carried the assassin down.

"Ah Heng!" Chu Jun couldn't help but call Mo Heng as soon as he entered the Yong'an Palace. What happened in the court today made him so angry that he had to complain to Mo Heng.

Mo Heng walked out of the side hall and greeted Chu Yun when he saw him enter. "Your Majesty."

"Ah Heng, why are you coming from that side?" Chu Jun looked at Mo Heng walking towards him from the side, feeling a little confused.

Mo Heng responded calmly: "I will go to the small kitchen and ask the cook to prepare some snacks that Your Majesty likes. The weather has warmed up recently, so many pastries can be made."

Chu Jun moved his nose and smelled a sweet scent. "No wonder Ah Heng smells like pears."

Behind the side room was the small kitchen of Yong'an Palace. Chu Jun didn't think any more about it and believed Mo Heng's words.

Pulling Mo Heng back into the house, Chu Jun finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to chatter behind his back, "Ah Heng, let me tell you, my uncle is urging me to get married again in the court today, and he's even threatening me with the issue of offspring. I saw that the other ministers were trying to persuade him, so I hurried back from the court. But I can only hide for a while. Once they have made their decision, they will definitely use the issue of offspring to force me to take a concubine when they return to court tomorrow. It's so annoying! If Wei Ling wasn't my mother's biological brother, I would definitely treat him as such and confront him."

Chu Jun thought about it and felt that he was defeated by Taizhi etiquette.

As his uncle, Wei Ling has never done anything wrong in front of him so far. Apart from often urging him to get married, he is indeed blameless.

Mo Heng looked at Chu Jun's puffed cheeks in anger and thought it was a little cute. He took the dessert from the plate and handed it to Chu Jun's mouth: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I will help you teach the head of the Wei family a lesson one day."

Chu Jun thought Mo Heng was just joking and didn't take his words seriously.

However, this feeling of having someone backing him up did successfully coax Chu Jun into giving him a piece of cake. He took Mo Heng's hand and took a bite of the cake, mumbling, "Next time he says that, I'll use my mother to pressure him and see if he's afraid, humph."

Chu Jun swallowed the cake in his mouth and realized something was wrong: "Hey, there are no pears in today's cakes. Where does the pear fragrance come from?"

Mo Heng felt that Chu Jun was very vigilant when it came to food, but he didn't panic: "Maybe some house was using the goose pear fragrance, and I accidentally got it on."

Chu Jun saw Mo Heng pick up a cake, and his attention was drawn away, allowing Mo Heng to successfully fool him: "Is that so?"

"Your Majesty, how are you going to discuss this with the court officials regarding the issue of having children? After all, it's impossible for Your Majesty and I to have children."

Mo Heng looked a little lonely when he mentioned this matter, which showed that he cared about it very much.

Chu Jun looked at Mo Heng's lost expression and realized that he had indeed neglected Mo Heng's feelings by mentioning the royal heir in front of him. He quickly comforted him, "I've thought about it a long time ago. There are many good seedlings in the royal family. I can just choose a child and raise him by my side. What matters in governing a country is ability, not bloodline. It doesn't matter whether the child is my biological child or not. The ministers only care about royal bloodline."

"Really?" Mo Heng looked at Chu Jun expectantly.

Mo Heng's fox eyes were truly a wonderful blessing at this moment, but just a slight raise of his eyes made Chu Jun lose his mind.

Chu Yun held Mo Heng's hand and looked at him seriously: "Haven't I told my beloved concubine yet that I will only marry you, and there will only be you in this harem."

"I've had the Imperial Astronomical Observatory look at it, and October 7th is a good day. Let's get married then."
