Time Travel and Love

I persuaded myself not to get angry. Drinking is a must in this kind of situation. Let them be!

"Shuangcheng, go get some sobering and vomiting medicine from Quansi." Chu Qingmeng leaned over and whispered to Shuangcheng. Shuangcheng obeyed the order and retreated.

"Chujiu, are you afraid that your husband will drink too much?" Mo Liujin was a little drunk. When he heard Chu Qingmeng's words, he bent his body and dropped his head on her shoulder.

From the moment Mo Liuyun showed up, Mo Liujin started calling her Chujiu, because he had called her Chujiu before. A woman's nickname was only used by her elders, close friends, siblings, and her husband. So in Mo Liujin's eyes, he was jealous because Mo Liuyun knew her nickname before him! But Chu Qingmeng didn't know any of this, thinking he was deliberately asserting his power and nudged him twice, "Mo Liujin, you're so heavy."

Even though she had drunk a bit too much, Mo Liujin was still sober. He quickly straightened up and checked on her. "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, you just drank a little too much. If you continue to lean on me without controlling your strength, I won't be able to support you." Chu Qingmeng took the opportunity to warn him to drink less.

Mo Liujin remembered the time he'd hurt her when he was drunk, and he sobered up instantly. No, drinking like that again would hurt her. So he reached out and quietly wrapped his arms around her waist, as she couldn't handle any bumps or injuries.

Mo Liuyun had just finished drinking with Mo Liujue and He Qi, and just as he put down his glass, he saw Mo Liujin hugging his cabbage. He hated him so much that his teeth itched! He really wanted to chop off his claws! Mo Liuyuan saw that Mo Liuyun's eyes were fixed on Mo Liujin's hand holding Chu Qingmeng, so he turned sideways to block his gaze and interrupted him, "Go up and eat some vegetables."

Mo Liuyun withdrew his gaze. "Never mind. Chujiu wasn't feeling well, so it was only natural for Mo Liujin to be more careful." He raised his hand and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, then began chatting with Mo Liuyuan.

Chu Qingmeng suddenly remembered Mu Lingxue's memorial and turned to look at Mo Liuyun. Mo Liuyun was puzzled by her gaze and stopped holding the wine glass. "What's wrong, Chujiu? Is there something on my face?"

He asked this question completely subconsciously, and unlike the deliberately stiff tone he used when talking to others, there was an imperceptible familiarity in his tone.

Chu Qingmeng didn't notice the wrong tone in his voice, and frowned as he said, "No, I just suddenly remembered that Princess Sinong's memorial was stuck in the cabinet. Agriculture is the foundation of a country, shouldn't you check it out?"

An eerie silence drifted across the table, leaving Mo Liuchen and the others stunned. She'd asked for help urging the emperor to read the memorial, and she was just doing that. She was urging the emperor to read the memorial face to face?!

Mo Liujin's hands froze, first because of Mo Liuyun's words "the ninth day of the first lunar month", and later because Chu Qingmeng urged him to read the memorial face to face, which frightened him.

Mo Chenfeng panicked for a moment. The emperor's heart was fickle. Mo Liufang, Mo Liuyuan, and the others all broke out in cold sweat. Qingmeng had played too big a trick! Just as Mo Liujin was about to stand up and apologize for her, Mo Liuyun spoke up, "Cabinet? Okay, I get it. Jingyan, go check it out."

Jing Yan nodded and stood up to leave. Mo Liuyun then noticed the strange silence, but did not explain. He simply picked up his wine glass and changed the subject. "Uncle, I toast to you. Thank you for your hard work during this period!"

"I'm unworthy of this." Mo Chenfeng also dropped the subject. Mo Liufang and the others also began to smooth things over, chatting and warming up the atmosphere again.

Mo Liujin felt the cold sweat subside a little, and the arm around Chu Qingmeng's waist loosened. Seeing her helpless, she couldn't scold her now. But her performance was really sobering, and the men present were all sobered up by the shock.

Everyone at the banquet, especially Mo Jiangqing and Mo Jiangche, felt as if they had just taken a bath. Their mother's question was as bland as asking Uncle Eleven, "Have you eaten yet?" Uncle Eleven's reply was as natural as, "Yes, I have." They were the only ones frightened.

By the end of the Xu hour, Mo Liuyun had to leave. The palace gates were about to close. He feigned a casual glance at Chu Qingmeng, said his goodbyes to everyone, and left without letting anyone see him off. Chu Qingmeng gave Shuang Cheng a subtle look, and Shuang Cheng also withdrew from the crowd. Everyone returned to the table. Mo Chenfeng sighed and said, "My son, don't be so bold next time! The emperor's heart is fickle!"

"..." Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Chenfeng and hesitated for a moment. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what he thought of and shut his mouth and agreed.

Mo Liujin was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he pulled her closer to his arms with a little force. "Father, Qingmeng is a girl after all. She doesn't understand the principle that living with a king is like living with a tiger. I will tell her when I get back. Please don't be angry."

Mo Liujin's words blocked the way, and the others couldn't say anything more about blaming him, so they all kept quiet. However, Mo Liuchen's wife, for some unknown reason, suddenly asked, "Did you just call my third sister-in-law 'Chujiu'? What does 'Chujiu' mean?"

Mo Liuchen frowned, his eyes sharp, and shouted, "Shut up! If you say another word, I'll punish you with family discipline!"

Mu Lingxue glanced at her sideways and said sarcastically, "Fifth brother's wife's every word and action is focused on getting promoted."

Listening to Mu Lingxue's tone, Chu Qingmeng, no longer understanding the twists and turns between sisters-in-law, understood her thoughts. She felt that Mo Liujin had shielded her from everyone's criticism with just a few words, and she was unwilling to accept it. She suddenly felt extremely annoyed.
