Chapter 232 The Concubine and the Emperor 19

There was no ceremony when Chu Yun brought Mo Heng into the palace.

That's natural, that's the rule.

At that time, Chu Jun had just taken over the position of the young emperor, his words had no weight, and he had no ability to resist the rules.

Moreover, the Mohist school was not a very powerful family and could not provide any assistance to the royal family. Even the royal ministers would not agree with it.

In order for Mo Heng to enter the palace, Chu Yun had to ask for help from his mother.

Now, Chu Jun believed that he was much more stable in the position of emperor. His mother had given the Phoenix Seal to Mo Heng and also agreed to this matter. Naturally, he had to make up for the wedding that Mo Heng missed so that he could become the queen with full legitimacy.

Mo Heng was stunned by Chu Jun's words, and subconsciously held Chu Jun's hand. He stared at the person in front of him with a pair of fox eyes, with complicated emotions in them.

"What's wrong?" Chu Jun looked at Mo Heng's moist eyes, as if he was about to cry, and said with a smile, "Isn't it obvious? We will get married sooner or later."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty just feels it's a little sudden." Mo Heng's voice trembled slightly, hinting at excitement.

He turned his head slightly, and for a moment he was a little hesitant to look directly into Chu Jun's eyes, for fear of being burned by his undisguised love.

The sharp-eyed Chu Yun noticed that the corners of Mo Heng's eyes began to turn red, and he looked so pitiful, just like the bewitching concubine in the harem.

Chu Jun was in a playful mood and touched Mo Heng's face. He leaned in close and said, "Why are you blushing? Don't turn your head. Let me take a good look at you~"

Mo Heng naturally refused to obey, but he was no match for Chu Yun and was forced to turn his head back.

Chu Jun moved his head closer to Mo Heng, as if he really wanted to take a good look at Mo Heng's shy look.

"No, it's just that the tea is a little hot." Mo Heng was confused by Chu Jun's gaze. His lying skills declined sharply and his lies were easily exposed.

Chu Jun was not about to let Mo Heng go. Her movements became bolder and bolder. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she placed her hands on Mo Heng's collar and pretended to pull his clothes off like a lecher. "Come on, my beloved, don't be shy. We've done everything before, so how can you be so embarrassed to get married?"

Chu Jun lifted half of Mo Heng's clothes, which hung loosely on his arms, revealing his muscular upper body.

Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. The "angry and humiliated" Concubine Mo will naturally fight back.

As for the way to fight back...

Chu Yun understood this deeply.

The next morning, when Chu Yun went to court, he had only walked the short distance from the palace gate to the dragon throne when his calves trembled and his legs were so weak that he almost knelt down.

After finally sitting on the dragon throne, Chu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself:

"He is indeed the material for a tyrant. How come Mo Heng seduced him a little and he agreed to be on top? It's really exhausting. This dragon throne is so hard. I should have known not to come to court earlier."

"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

The voice of the minister below brought Chu Yun back to reality, and Chu Yun sighed inwardly.

Yes, there is still a tough battle to fight today.

Chu Jun straightened his back and cheered up: "My dear, please speak."

"The issue of the imperial heir is the foundation of the country..."

···

Today's court session lasted longer, and it ended half an hour later than usual.

In the final battle, Chu Yun naturally used his eloquence to silence all the court officials, but it was only temporary.

After this incident, Chu Jun could foresee that every once in a while, he would be seen debating with the scholars in the court.

Therefore, Chu Jun decided to put the matter of finding an heir on the agenda as soon as possible to prevent them from always bringing up the prince.

------

On the first day of the third month of the third year of the Hengyun era, the Emperor went to the imperial palace and personally examined the scholars throughout the land. The sky was clear, the air was fresh, and the breeze was gentle. The candidates gathered in large numbers, and Wen Guang shot at the Dipper. The Emperor personally asked the candidates questions, testing them on the classics and current affairs to assess their talent and knowledge.

···

That night, the emperor hosted a banquet at the Qionglin Garden for the newly minted scholars. He chatted with them, inquiring about their aspirations and encouraging them to study diligently, hoping to become pillars of the nation. Deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness, the scholars pledged their loyalty to the court and their service to the country.

The historians recorded this event to show the emperor's wisdom and the scholars' diligence.

Today's banquet was held by the emperor to entertain the newly-appointed scholars. It was a banquet for the emperor to communicate with the scholars. Chu Jun needed to concentrate throughout the whole banquet, so it was rare that Mo Heng was not by his side.

The banquet was held in the evening at the Qionglin Garden on the outskirts of the capital.

Therefore, Chu Jun would probably stay in Qionglin Garden at night, so Mo Heng was also brought here by Chu Jun, but he stayed in the room waiting for him.

This year's imperial examination is the first one after the new emperor ascended the throne. If you can get a good ranking, the probability of being remembered by the emperor is much higher than in the subsequent exams. Therefore, a large number of people participate in the imperial examination this year, and those who can get a ranking are also the top people who have fought their way out of thousands of troops.

At that time, Cheng Yu was the third place winner this year. According to his ranking, he was able to sit closer to the emperor and was fortunate enough to have a few more words with the emperor.

The Shi family had a prime minister in their ancestor, and was once considered a prominent family, but it has fallen into decline in the past hundred years.

This year, the family had a third place in the imperial examination, so the Shi family naturally attached great importance to it. They took some time to inquire about the situation in the court and told Shi Chengyu about it, hoping to help him in his future career.

Therefore, among the Jinshi scholars, Cheng Yu was considered to be more knowledgeable about the current emperor.

He knew that the current emperor was only a young man this year, three or four years younger than him. In the two years since he came to power, he had taken control of the government and not only cleaned out the cancer of Mohism, but also eradicated the prime minister who had ulterior motives.

Such a big move in the court not only did not affect the stability of the court, but also made the ministers restrain their thoughts and start to really do practical things. As a commoner, Cheng Yu could see the development of the Chu State in the past two years. The emperor was indeed a monarch with means and courage.

When he saw His Majesty today, he was indeed extraordinary, like a god descending to earth. Cheng Yu became more convinced of his own ideas and firmly believed in his heart that Chu Jun was a wise ruler and he must assist him well.

Cheng Yu was a young talent who did not understand the rules of officialdom. He respected the emperor in his heart and wanted to communicate more with him.

"Your Majesty, I have a question and would like to consult you."

After the banquet, Shi Chengyu stepped forward boldly and said.

Chu Jun saw the light in the eyes of the third place winner in front of him. He knew that he was a man with ideals who had not yet accepted the hustle and bustle of officialdom. He did not want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he did not refuse.

"In that case, my dear, please come with me for a walk in this garden." Chu Jun turned and walked deeper into the garden.

Shi Chengyu followed with great joy.

When Mo Heng came to the garden to look for someone, he saw two figures, one standing and one standing in the pavilion in the middle of the garden.

Chu Jun sat in front of the stone table, looking at the person in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

In front of Chu Yun was a man holding a book in his hand, chatting with Chu Yun.

Although the man's clothes were not luxurious, he had his back to her and she had no idea what he looked like.

However, as Mo Heng watched from afar, he felt that the other person really had the aura of a man of great learning and refinement.

"This is probably the scholar who disturbed His Majesty's rest after returning home."
