Who wants to learn sewing skills while dating?

Mo Heng smiled and touched Chu Jun's head that was exposed outside the quilt, then went to the door to explain that Li Yu would not attend court today.

When he returned to the bed, Mo Heng had just taken off his shoes when Chu Jun pulled him onto the bed.

Feeling Chu Jun's tight grip on his waist, as if to break it, Mo Heng asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"My waist hurts." Chu Jun's voice was filled with tears.

Mo Heng felt a little guilty. Without Chu Yun's orders last night, he had indeed been a little lax. "It's my fault."

Chu Jun looked at Mo Heng, who looked like nothing had happened, and felt very aggrieved: "Why are you never tired? It's not fair."

"Your Majesty is busy with many affairs every day, so you must be more tired than me." Mo Heng is really good at coaxing people.

Speaking of "being busy with affairs of state," Chu Jun became excited: "In that case, I will punish you by making you help me review memorials today! And you must review them all!"

"Okay." Mo Heng nodded, willing to accept the punishment.

Chu Jun was satisfied. He lingered in bed for a while before getting up. He couldn't really stay in bed all day. He had agreed to visit his mother in the morning and had to attend a palace banquet in the evening.

"Oh, why do I feel like there's no end to these palace banquets? They have to be held for every big or small event. We can't afford to be extravagant or else they'll all be wasted in the future." Chu Jun thought sincerely.

Someone helped him review the memorials, and Chu Jun was the happiest person in the world today.

After visiting my mother in the morning, I went to the Shangshufang to watch Mo Heng review memorials. Having someone to bear my pain doubled my happiness!

Leaving Mo Heng alone in the Shangshufang, Chu Jun, who was on strike, hummed a little tune and went to Shoukang Palace, intending to have a snack before coming back.

"Master Mo."

The emperor ordered that Mo Guijun be brought to meet the empress. Naturally, the people in the palace had to change the way they addressed Mo Heng. However, calling him "Her Majesty the Empress" felt strange, so the empress asked them to call him "Master Mo".

Mo Heng was concentrating on reviewing memorials. He looked up when he heard this and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The head of the Wei family has given you a letter and wants to meet you." The servant handed a letter to Mo Heng.

"Wei Ling?" Mo Heng took the letter. Isn't the head of the Wei family the Queen Mother's younger brother?

"Yes."

Mo Heng opened the letter, glanced at it, and threw it aside.

He resumed reviewing the memorials and instructed his attendant, "Tell Lord Wei to wait for me in Yong'an Palace. I will come back after I finish reviewing these memorials."

"Yes."

------

"Master Wei, Heng was delayed due to something. Please forgive me." Wei Ling stood outside Yong'an Palace waiting for a long time, and finally heard Mo Heng's voice.

Wei Ling knew in his heart that Mo Heng was trying to intimidate him, but he pretended to be calm on the surface: "It was Wei Ling who suddenly asked to see you, sir. I hope you won't blame me for my disrespect."

Mo Heng didn't care what Wei Ling called him and led Wei Ling into Yong'an Palace: "Master Wei, please come in."

"Thank you, Mr. Gui."

"Heng and Patriarch Wei probably have no connection. If Heng is not mistaken, Patriarch Wei is here because of the Emperor's announcement yesterday."

Faced with Mo Heng's bluntness, Wei Ling didn't bother to exchange pleasantries. "Indeed, I haven't been able to sleep since hearing the announcement yesterday. The position of Empress symbolizes the dignity of the imperial family, and has always been reserved for those of high moral character, dignity, and virtue. Now, it has fallen upon Your Majesty, and I am deeply concerned."

"Oh?"

"I recently found some things in the Mo family's former residence. They must have been left behind by your majesty accidentally." Wei Ling watched Mo Heng finally look up and look at him, and slowly said, "Those things made me quite suspicious, so I did some more research. The genocide of the Nalan family, the extermination of the Mo family, and even the assassins that Prince Qi sent into the palace to kill you, all of these things frightened me."

Wei Ling's words today made Mo Heng take the head of the Wei family seriously for the first time. Before, Mo Heng's impression of him was just that of an impulsive, quick-success-seeking and reckless person, but now Wei Ling showed something different.

Mo Heng was surprised and even more curious as to why Wei Ling gave up his disguise in front of him.

Since Wei Ling knew that he was not a simple person, what confidence did he have in thinking that he would not take the opportunity to trip him up?

"Since Lord Wei knows so much, he should also know what kind of person Heng is. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave Yong'an Palace?" Mo Heng asked the doubts in his heart.

"Your Excellency is naturally free to do whatever you want. Even if you leave me here today, I accept the consequences. However, I feel that I am not asking for much. Using this information to exchange for the position of Queen is a very cost-effective deal. Your Excellency may wish to consider it."

"As long as Lord Wei dies, no one will know about these things forever." Mo Heng sincerely thought so. The only way to make someone shut up forever is to kill him.

"I made preparations before entering the palace. If anything were to happen to me, I would tell Your Majesty everything that happened. Since Your Majesty cares so much about you, you certainly wouldn't want Your Majesty to know how much blood is on your hands."

"Your Majesty and Heng have a strong relationship, so why should Lord Wei get involved?" Mo Heng chuckled, seemingly helpless.

"The Wei family is just trying to secure a queen position to consolidate the family throne."

"Isn't it enough to have the Queen Mother?"

"Not enough." Wei Ling thought about his blocked career, calmed himself down, and looked at Mo Heng, "So, what do you think of this deal, Your Excellency?"

"Of course." Mo Heng smiled and poured a pot of tea into Wei Ling's cup.

Wei Ling thought this was a sign that Mo Heng had reached an agreement with him, and he felt slightly relieved.

He came to see Mo Heng this time to bet on the importance of the emperor in his heart. Now that the matter has been settled, he feels relieved.

The previous tension made Wei Ling a little thirsty. He placed his hand on the teacup, ready to moisten his throat with the tea, and then discussed with Mo Heng how to persuade His Majesty to revoke his order.

"Why did my uncle come without telling me?" Chu Jun's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Wei Ling had already raised the teacup to his lips, but upon hearing this, he quickly put it down and turned to greet Chu Jun: "Your Majesty, I, Wei Ling, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Stand up. I just went to sit with my mother, and then I heard that my uncle came to the palace. But he wants to see my queen about something." Chu Jun stood in front of Wei Ling, lowered his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. His tone was not very good.

Wei Ling uttered his prepared excuse, leaving no room for error: "I have never had the honor of seeing the Empress. Today I enter the palace to meet her as a subject, fulfilling my duty."

Chu Jun didn't want to listen to Wei Ling's nonsense and directly dismissed him: "So, is this the end of my meeting with my uncle?"

"Yes, I'll take my leave now." Wei Ling felt uneasy when Chu Jun looked at him. After greeting Chu Jun, he left without hesitation. Before leaving, he exchanged a glance with Mo Heng and felt relieved when he saw him nod slightly.

Chu Jun was in a bad mood. Seeing that there was still some tea in the cup in front of Mo Heng, he thought of taking a sip to calm his mood.

Mo Heng sensed Chu Yun's intention and picked up his teacup before Chu Yun and handed it directly to his confidant beside him: "The tea is cold, go get another pot."

"Yes." The attendant understood Mo Heng's meaning, removed all the tea sets, replaced them with a new set and poured tea for His Majesty.

Mo Heng looked at Chu Jun again and smiled, "I will make a cup of hot tea for Your Majesty later. Your Majesty, please drink some tea to calm down."

With outsiders around, Chu Jun didn't say much. He sat at the table and looked at Mo Heng with an unhappy face.
