Mo Ya was in a trance when he felt a thick arm around his waist.A milky voice came from behind, with sweet nostalgia: "Ah Ya, is the mung bean soup ready yet?"

Feeling the strength in his waist, Mo Xia put down the spatula, turned around and squatted in front of Xiaotuanzi, couldn't help pinching Lu Chenzhang's fleshy face: "Your Highness, the soup will be ready soon, you go firstWait in the room, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Chenzhang was unhappy, pouted his pink mouth, held Mo Ya's arm and refused to let go: "No, I want to be with Ah Ya."

The condition of Kaiyang Palace is not good, there is no extra ice cubes, and the small kitchen is stuffy and stuffy.If it wasn't for cooking, Mo Xia wouldn't have stepped here.

Seeing the dense beads of sweat on Lu Chenzhang's forehead, Mo Xia took out a handkerchief and wiped him carefully, knowing that Lu Chenzhang was always stubborn and would not change his mind easily, so he could only hold him back.Watching him walk towards the door: "Your Highness, can you just wait here for me?"

Lu Chenzhang still seemed very unhappy, but he also knew that his stay in the kitchen would affect Mo Ya, so he nodded reluctantly: "Then Ah Ya, you need to hurry up."

Mo Xia smiled softly: "Okay."

The mung bean soup is finally ready.

Mo Ya took out two pottery bowls and put them in.Putting the pottery bowl on the tray again, he picked up the tray and walked towards the door: "Your Highness, let's go back to the room for soup."

As an existence in the imperial palace that people hate ghosts, the Kaiyang Palace where Lu Chenzhang lives is just like him, a "filthy place" that no one in the imperial palace wants to set foot on.

Three years ago, in the thin snow of early winter, Mo Xia first came to Kaiyang Palace.

He felt that he might never forget the shock and shock that that scene brought to him for the rest of his life.

The Kaiyang Palace at that time——

Weeds grow savagely in the corners, dirty snow piles up the promenade, and dead branches and rotten leaves follow the howling north wind in the huge courtyard as if there is no one else present, jumping up and down.

Enter the house.

There is a thick layer of dust on the ground, and when you step on it, there is a clear shoe print; the musty smell from the bedding and quilt covers lingers on the tip of the nose and lingers for a long time.The brocade curtains were faded and rotted, the wooden furniture was damp and infested with insects, and placed in a mess, and there were even several layers of huge cobwebs formed by spiders in the sun in the corners.

Mo Ya has never seen such a dilapidated and messy house in his two lifetimes, especially when he saw Jerry who was already stiff in the corner, he almost vomited out the overnight meal.

Afterwards, he rolled up his sleeves and spent three days cleaning the Kaiyang Palace inside and out with the melted snow and the rags he managed to find, and he finally cleaned it up.

Fortunately, Mo Xia's aunt gave enough money to take care of the servants and eunuchs.

Mo Xia has always been good at being a human being and has a good relationship with others.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting a smiling person, let alone this person has money.

Although everyone in the palace hates Kai Yanggong, they always have a good face towards him and help him from time to time.

Taking advantage of these conveniences, Mo Xia often secretly exchanged various warm food or medicinal charcoal from various places, which can be regarded as nourishing his highness for nothing.

Mo Xia and Lu Chenzhang sat opposite each other on a square table.

Lu Chenzhang held the spoon with his small fleshy hands, his round eyes focused on the mung bean soup in front of him, and poured it into his mouth mouthful by mouthful.

After Lu Chenzhang finished drinking, he looked at the barely moving soup in front of Mo Ya, his little face wrinkled, jumped off the stool and ran in front of Mo Ya, "Ah Ya, why don't you drink it?"

Mo Xia was so preoccupied that he wasn't in the mood to drink soup, so he pushed the bowl in front of Lu Chenzhang: "Your Highness, I'm not hungry, you can drink it."

Lu Chenzhang tilted his head and looked at Mo Ya. After confirming that Mo Ya really couldn't drink it, he happily picked up the bowl, puffed his cheeks, and drank the sweet and thick mung bean soup Hululu in one gulp.

Mo Ya looked at Lu Chenzhang's clumsy and cute appearance, and the haze in his heart instantly cleared away.

His Majesty's auspicious person has his own appearance, and with his own protection, nothing will happen to him.

Wiping the corners of Lu Chenzhang's lips, Mo Xia put the bowl away with a smile: "Your Highness, the soup is finished, it's time to read now."

Lu Chenzhang always listened to Mo Ya's words very much, so he ran to the back of the desk to pick up the book he hadn't finished reading in the morning and continued to read it, taking a look at Mo Ya from time to time.

Mo Xia was visibly fidgeting, his eyes were fixed on the book, but he didn't turn it over for an hour.

Sometimes the brows were furrowed, sometimes the eyes lit up, and then the corners of the lips drooped, and then suddenly realized.After finally calming down, who knows, he began to frown again, like a mentally ill person.

Lu Chenzhang couldn't help it: "Aya, what's wrong with you today?"

"Ah?" Mo Xia put the book on the table and looked at Lu Chenzhang with a dazed expression.

Lu Chenzhang crossed his hips and said angrily, "You obviously have something on your mind today. Tell me what happened."

Mo Xia took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and walked in front of Lu Chenzhang, bent down and looked directly into his eyes: "Your Highness, I will ask for leave for you tomorrow, so you can pretend to be sick and not go to Mingjian Pavilion, okay?"

"Why?" Lu Chen was obviously unwilling.

Mo Xia is a bit embarrassed: I can't tell you that the First Prince and the others carefully fed a ferocious Ao dog with raw meat, and even starved it for several days recently, just to release it to bite you tomorrow.

Not to mention that I don't want to scare you, not to mention that you might not believe such nonsense.

Lu Chenzhang saw that Mo Ya couldn't explain why, and became even angrier: "Do you not like me anymore? I saw you gave some of the cakes you made to the sixth brother some time ago. Do you like the sixth brother?"gone?"

Mo Xia looked at the aggrieved Lu Chenzhang who seemed to have been robbed of his toys, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Highness, where are you going? It's just that Ye Guiren did me a small favor last time, so I made some pastriesThank her."

Lu Chenzhang rounded up the topic again: "Then tell me, why don't you let me go to Mingjian Pavilion tomorrow?"

Seeing that Lu Chenzhang was so stubbornly asking for an explanation, Mo Xia blinked, and began to make serious nonsense: "Your Highness, I don't let you go to Mingjian Pavilion because I read the almanac, and tomorrow I will have a conflict with you, so it is not suitable to travel.Otherwise we will have bloodshed."

Lu Chenzhang squinted his eyes and looked at Mo Xia, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: Do you treat me like a child?

But he still asked solemnly: "Then if I don't go out, won't there be a bloody disaster?"

"Yes." Mo Ya replied even more seriously, with a serious look, it is absolutely impossible to see that he is playing a trick at this time.

Lu Chenzhang flattened his mouth and compromised: "Okay, as long as you don't have any accidents, Aya, I don't care what I do."

Mo Xia was instantly moved, hugged Lu Chenzhang in his arms, felt the fleshy touch, and rubbed wildly: "Your Highness trusts me so much."

Lu Chenzhang curled his lips and didn't speak.

Mo Xia continued to rub Lu Chenzhang's small body, looked at the two empty pottery bowls on the table, and tightened his arms: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to you."

Early the next morning, Mo Xia took his books, bid farewell to Lu Chenzhang, and went to Mingjian Pavilion alone for class.

Today there are seven princes in total, and all the princes have been admitted to school, but they are divided into different classes according to their ages.

But according to the practice of the Liang Dynasty, before the master came, all the princes and companions would gather in the Mingjian Pavilion, listen to the grand master's admonishment to the ancestors, and be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Except for the fifth prince, each of the other princes has four companions, and because the eldest prince and the seventh prince are favored by their mother and concubine, there are as many as eight companions.

Therefore, Mingjian Pavilion is always lively and lively every day. A bunch of people of the same age gather together to chat and laugh, making a lot of noise.

Today is no exception.

It's just that as soon as Mo Xia's figure appeared, the laughter and laughter in Mingjian Pavilion seemed to press the pause button.

All eyes were on the door.

Mo Xia walked to his seat as if nothing had happened, and put down the small bundle of books.

The second prince winked, and immediately walked up to Mo Ya knowingly, and looked down at Mo Ya: "Mo Ya, why didn't His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince come?"

Mo Ya put both hands on the package, and raised his head calmly: "Your Highness is not feeling well, and I won't be able to get up today."

The second prince was next to Mo Ya, and he spoke beside him with a smirk: "Really? The fifth brother is the lone star of the evil spirit. How could the ordinary evil spirit enter his body? Could it be just pretending."

Mo Xia always knew how to deal with this kind of topic, raised his eyes unhurriedly, and said peacefully: "Second Highness, our Highness is really sick. If you don't believe me, you can go to Kaiyang Palace to visit Fifth Highness, you will know whether what I said is true or false."

The second prince choked, shook his sleeves angrily and looked away angrily: "That kind of place, if you get close, your feet will be dirty."

Mo Xia secretly rolled his eyes, and kept fiddling with pens, inks, papers and inkstones: I don't have the guts to just say it, and I'm still pretending to be decent, and I'm not ashamed.

The princes have literary classes in the morning and martial arts classes in the afternoon.It's just that the martial arts class doesn't force the companions to attend.

So as soon as the master left, Mo Xia was going to pack up his things and go back to Kaiyang Palace.

Mo Ya was absent-minded throughout the morning, only thinking about the mastiff.

In the original book, in order to tease Lu Chenzhang, the eldest prince and others specially ordered someone to lead the Ao dog to the only way back to Kaiyang Palace, just waiting to scare Lu Chenzhang by surprise, and it is best to bite Lu Chenzhang againHonor an arm or a leg.

Moreover, in the matter of Lu Chenzhang's left leg being almost crippled, the original owner can be regarded as a great contribution.

After Lu Chenzhang's left leg was bitten, because no one dared to approach him, he almost crawled all the way back to Kaiyang Palace.

The process made his bloody legs even more bloody.

After all, he is a prince.

In addition, Concubine Qiong knew the reason why Emperor Delin didn't execute Lu Chenzhang at the beginning, thinking that he still wanted to save his life, she sent a little imperial doctor like the one who took care of the maids and eunuchs in the imperial hospital to Kaiyang Palace for treatment.

With good maintenance, there may be no serious problems.

But the problem is that the original owner directly withheld more than half of the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.

The treatment was not very meticulous, but Lu Chenzhang almost died in Kaiyang Palace after being treated like this.

If it wasn't for the aura of the powerful protagonist, who insisted on making it through with the remaining medicine, he would have died long ago.

But even so, Lu Chenzhang's left leg still suffers from unbearable pain when it comes to thunderstorms and cloudy days.

Lu Chenzhang didn't come to class today, so the Ao dog probably won't show up.

But you can't hide like this every day.

The eldest prince will never give up if he fails to achieve his goal.

While walking towards Kaiyang Palace, Mo Ya looked up from time to time in the direction of Lingxi Palace.

It would be even better if the problem can be solved at the source.But how could he enter the Consonance Palace?

Mo Xia returned to Kaiyang Palace worriedly.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Lu Chenzhang standing in the corridor to greet him.As soon as he saw him, he rushed over like a small cannonball, trying to jump into Mo Xia's arms.

When Mo Xia saw Lu Chenzhang, his mood instantly improved, and he bent over and hugged him in his arms: "Why isn't Your Highness waiting in the room?"

Lu Chenzhang kissed Mo Ya's face "baji", his voice seemed to melt into honey: "I want Ah Ya to come back, so I can see me at a glance."

Mo Ya was so warm that his heart melted in an instant.

How could his highness be so cute.

Just when he was about to carry Lu Chenzhang back to the house, Lu Chenzhang's body suddenly trembled violently, and his big eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Aya." Lu Chenzhang's voice was a little trembling, and he whispered in Moya's ear: "Aya."

Mo Ya also felt that something was wrong, swallowed, stared straight, put Mo Ya down with stiff arms, and turned around mechanically.

The gate of Kaiyang Palace was not closed.

At some point, a huge black mastiff slowly walked in from the gate.

Thick hair, ferocious features, strong muscles.

Ao Quan's huge mouth was full of fangs, with stinky saliva, his front feet kept pawing the ground, and his eyes were green with hunger.

Mo Xia pushed Lu Chenzhang with his hand, and blocked him with his body.

But before the two of them retreated, the strong mastiff roared and rushed towards the two of them.
