Time Travel and Love

The two of them strolled back to the house. Chu Qingmeng still had to review the files. She had a headache. She really didn't know how Kui Wenzhong and the others could be on call every day and handle official business so quickly.

The next morning, at the beginning of the morning, Chu Qingmeng turned over and lay on Mo Liujin's chest, half asleep, wanting to wake up. She had to change her sleep schedule. After all, she would have to accompany the emperor to court for at least the next month, and she would even have to leave home earlier than Mo Liujin. Fortunately, the court was held every three days. If she had been like Kangxi and Yongzheng, who held court every day, she would probably die before the emperor! But it was obvious that Chu Qingmeng, who had never woken up early, failed to change her sleep schedule and fell asleep again on Mo Liujin's chest. Mo Liujin curled his lips and did not move, letting her sleep on him. He actually liked this feeling, but sometimes he couldn't help but laugh at himself. As an old couple, he became more and more dependent on her.

Time passed quickly, and it was time for another morning court session. Chu Qingmeng didn't even open his eyes, but forced himself to get up and change clothes. Mo Liujin was helpless, "Can't you change the time? So early? It's two quarters of an hour earlier than I went to court."

Chu Qingmeng shook her head. She wanted to change, but she had no say. She washed her face first, and after a splash of cold water, she was finally able to open her eyes. She put on a light blue men's suit, her long black hair hanging down behind her head. She looked at Mo Liujin for help.

Mo Liujin smiled as he got out of bed and re-combed her hair into a man's bun. He then took out his hairpin and fixed it in place. He smiled as he combed her hair and said, "From now on, why don't you let your husband help your wife with her hairdressing and grooming?"

"If it weren't for the fear of being recognized and convenience, I wouldn't wear men's clothes. This belt is too difficult to buckle." Chu Qingmeng's face was full of sleep, but she still took out some powder to cover her ugly face. Mo Liujin took an eyebrow pencil and drew her eyebrows again. After packing up, she was about to get up and leave, but Mo Liujin grabbed her waist and brought her back to his arms, rubbing her neck and gently inhaling her scent.

but……

Chu Qingmeng: "Mo Liujin! What are you doing?!"

Noticing that Mo Liujin had untied his belt, Chu Qingmeng growled at him in a low voice.

Mo Liujin chuckled softly at the horror on her face. "Nothing! Your belt isn't tied properly. I'll tie it for you."

After buckling his belt again, Mo Liujin teased, "Go, my beautiful young master. Come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at the palace gate."

"..." Chu Qingmeng snorted and left.

Mo Liujin, amused, changed into his court robes and headed out. He'd left early today and bumped into Mo Liujue, the two of them chatting and strolling on horseback. But today, he encountered that sedan again, a little closer. The familiar scent wafted across Mo Liujin's nose again, and he couldn't help but frown, looking at the sedan with a hint of confusion. "That smell? Was it just an illusion?"

"Third brother? What's wrong with you?" Mo Liujue asked when he saw him staring at the sedan chair.

"Oh, nothing." Mo Liujin took a deep look at the sedan chair, then turned around and continued chatting with Mo Liujue.

Entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, Mo Liujin carefully pursued that faint scent, so much so that he didn't hear the Duke of England call him twice. It was only when General Weibei behind him poked him that he came to his senses and bowed his head slightly in greeting, "Yes. Duke of England."

"General, may I ask if it is feasible to follow what the Crown Prince just said?"

Mo Liujin pondered for a moment before speaking, "Marching isn't just talk. The battle situation changes rapidly. Only when we're actually on the battlefield can we make a plan. No matter how much we talk now, it's useless."

"Hmph, General, you are so arrogant." The prince snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied with Mo Liujin for rejecting his face.

But Mo Liujin's expression was indifferent, revealing nothing. The Eighth Old Man laughed. The Crown Prince had lost eleven men, and he was truly a complete idiot. What was he thinking? At this crucial moment in the fight for the throne, he offended a military commander?! Ha, God is truly helping me.

"I think what the general said makes sense. Otherwise, how could there be the saying 'A general is not bound by his sovereign's orders when on the battlefield'? Everything is subject to change. No one knows what will happen unless they go to the battlefield." The eighth brother stepped out and replied.

The emperor waved his hand to signal him to go back. Chu Qingmeng almost laughed out loud after listening to the morning court. Today, Quan Si didn't need to give her acupuncture to wake her up. Quan Si looked at Jiu Ye who was trying not to laugh. Why was Jiu Ye so excited today? He didn't know that Chu Qingmeng was laughing at the prince. Last time, he thought he was stupid, but this time he found out that he was not only stupid but also lacked something in his brain. No wonder the emperor hated to pass the throne to him! If the prince ascended the throne, wouldn't it be like that TV series? The late emperor gave me a dragon whip, the late emperor gave me a purple gold hammer, the late emperor gave me a golden mace, the late emperor gave me a coiled dragon stick, and Taizu gave me a dragon head crutch. Hahaha, the late emperor gave me five living fathers. Chu Qingmeng didn't laugh until the sedan chair left the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She laughed so hard when she thought of the famous scene of five rows of dragons that her face became sore.

Quan Si and Shuang Cheng had no idea what she was laughing at, so they just followed the sedan chair. Mo Liujin paid special attention to the sedan chair today and wanted to follow it, but Father Li and Father Xu had already started their duties and were attending court on their first day, so they joined Mo Liujin to exchange pleasantries. Mo Liujin couldn't afford to be perfunctory with them, so he could only watch the sedan chair depart. Mo Chenfeng, however, was in a good mood, walked over to Mo Liujin, laughed twice more, and then drifted away.
