    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Since the accession of Emperor Delin to the throne, this year's first Chunwei Policy Theory comes from the Classics and History Sub-collection.

    "Fish I Want" is an excellent work that discusses the goodness of life and death in depth.

    But because it was issued by Emperor Delin, for many candidates, there is a shocking thunder buried in this question.

    Mo Xia tapped the wooden table with his index finger, and looked up at He Song vaguely.

    An unfavored noble son.

    He obviously didn't even have the chance to see Tianyan when he went to the palace with his family to have a banquet before, but he was able to know exactly what Emperor De Lin was thinking, and at the right time, he figured out the holy will and attacked with precision.

    It is said that after reading his article, Emperor Delin was overjoyed and made him the number one scholar.

    With such exquisite seven orifices, he is worthy of a high position in the future and a reputation in the world.

    Lu Chenzhang never read a book until he was seven years old.

    After Mo Ya became his companion, he tried his best to explain and tutor him.But no matter how clever Lu Chenzhang is, after all, three years is not as good as the other princes who accompanied him to study the foundation of enlightenment since childhood.

    So when he saw this question, Lu Chenzhang's small face immediately wrinkled into a ball.

    Mo Xia gave Lu Chenzhang an encouraging look, squeezed his little hand, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I just explained this article to you not long ago. Your Highness is so smart, you must have understood it thoroughly. Don't be afraid,Just write down what’s on your mind.”

    Lu Chenzhang was already smart.

    If the study time is longer, given time, it is certain to surpass the eldest prince who is praised by the Tai Tuo and all the masters.

    Although he resisted a little now, Lu Chenzhang's heart was agitated with Mo Ya's comfort. He held the small brush that Mo Ya made for him, and after thinking for a while, he began to write vigorously.

    Lu Chenqi spread out the fine white rice paper, and unconsciously moved the long tassels hanging on the jade pendant with her left hand, looking down at the five big characters "fish I want", and hesitated to start writing.

    After a long time, he seemed to sigh deeply and pick up his pen and ink.

    "...what the country desires is for heaven, what heaven desires is for the people, what the people desire is for life..."

    An hour later, when almost everyone had finished writing, He Song ordered the book boy to collect everyone's papers and review them carefully.

    Mo Xia opened the cork and handed some cool watermelon dew to Lu Chenzhang: "Your Highness, drink some first."

    While speaking, he glanced at Mo Yunchao from the corner of his eye.

    Mo Yunchao stood beside Mo Yunyang, pointing in Mo Ya's direction.

    The two eyebrows are curled into a character horoscope, and the cheeks are clenched.

    Mo Xia shook his head: "Idiot."

    Lu Chenzhang held the watermelon dew and drank it in small sips. Looking at Mo Yunchao's flushed face, he whispered, "Ah Ya, why do I feel that your younger brother is not very smart?"

    Mo Xia couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, be more confident and remove the appearance."

    Mo Xia recalled the confrontation in Rong'an Hall last night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the magic of the Creator.

    How could Mo Sizhen and Mo Yunchao be twins?

    "Of the three children born to my stepmother, Mo Yunyang is talented and intelligent, and Mo Sizhen is very meticulous. Only Mo Yunchao is innocent at best, and stupid as a pig at worst."

    Lu Chenzhang and Mo Yunyang studied together in Mingjian Pavilion for three years, and they also knew that Mo Yunyang's knowledge was indeed good.

    Mo Yazang is clumsy, almost no one can match Mo Yunyang in the companion reading.

    Taifu Cui also praised, given time, Mo Yunyang must have a bright future.

    Lu Chenzhang was curious: "Aya, I seem to have never heard you mention your eldest sister, Miss Mo."

    Mo Xia had nothing to do on weekdays, so he compiled the interesting events that happened in Mingxianghou's Mansion into bedtime jokes, and coaxed Lu Chenzhang to sleep.

    Lu Chenzhang knew everyone in Mingxianghou's mansion, but he knew little about Mo Sizhen.

    Mo Sizhen...

    In Mo Xia's mind, a beautiful face, although immature, has already shown its sharpness.

    He shook his head, and took Mo Sizhen's face out of his mind: "My sister... If she were a man, how could Mo Yunyang be in Mingxianghou's mansion."

    "Oh?" Lu Chenzhang became even more curious.

    Mo Ya seldom praises others, even himself, and only when he does his homework very well, can he get a gentle compliment from Mo Ya.

    It was the first time in Mo Ya's mouth that he praised so highly.

    Mo Xia didn't want to mention Mo Sizhen in front of Lu Chenzhang, rubbed Lu Chenzhang's little head, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I will tell you about my fight with my eldest sister when I have a chance in the future. You nowQuickly recall the article I just wrote, after returning to the palace, I will test you."

    Lu Chenzhang listened to Mo Ya's words very much. Hearing what Mo Ya said, he put down the small bamboo cup in his hand, and obediently picked up the brush.

    .........

    He Song checked the test papers accompanied by all the princes at a glance.

    When he turned to Mo Ya's test paper, He Song's eyes flickered with relief and appreciation, but he pulled it aside in feigned anger, as if he had seen something that disgusted him.

    The book boy watched the sand pot drain, picked up the copper hammer and tapped the chime bell in the corner lightly.

    "Clang—clang—"

    All the prince companions returned to their seats one after another.

    Mo Xia put away the fruit juice that Lu Chenzhang had been drinking for a long time, and ignored Lu Chenzhang's mournful face: "Your Highness, class is on."

    Looking at Lu Chenzhang's pitiful eyes, he endured it, but Mo Xia couldn't hold back after all: "Your Highness, be good, I'll make it for you when I get back to Kaiyang Palace, okay?"

    The audience will be quiet, He Song picked up a piece of rice paper and shook it: "Mo Xia."

    Mo Xia seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and stood up calmly: "Teacher, the student is here."

    He Song unfolded Mo Xia's test paper: "I asked you to write a policy theory based on "Fish I Want", but why did you silence this article?"

    Mo Xia was not in a hurry, and said boldly: "Responding to the teacher's words, the students are dull and have not learned enough. Up to now, they can only keep silent about it, without knowing the deep meaning. If they fail to write an article, please ask the teacher to punish them."

    In the Mingjian Pavilion, there was a low sneer in an instant.

    "Hahaha——" Mo Yunchao was the most exaggerated, pointing at Mo Ya out of breath, "Mo Ya, you are also the son of our Mingxianghou Mansion after all, and you have never even learned such a simple article.It's too embarrassing for our Hou Mansion."

    Mo Xia looked at He Song calmly, but glanced at Mo Yunyang from the corner of his eye.

    Mo Yunyang and Mo Yunchao were separated by a few tables, their piercing eyes wished they could condense into hemp rope and silk thread to sew Mo Yunchao's mouth.

    Unknown to Mo Yunchao.

    After finally seizing an opportunity to ridicule Mo Ya, how can there be no reason not to retaliate?

    Sitting in the front row, Lu Chenqi stared at Mo Ya's neat handwriting, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "Fourth Young Master Mo, you and Second Young Master Mo came out of Mingxianghou's Mansion together. Both are prosperous, and both are ruined. It's just like this., wouldn’t it be a joke for others to see.”

    Mo Yunchao's laughter stopped abruptly.

    He Song didn't seem to have heard the presumptuousness of the young masters in the audience, and looked at Mo Ya with a faint expression: "Mo Xia, since this is the case, you should be more diligent in the future. This time, I will not punish you. Go back and study the Four Books and Five Classics carefully.I don’t know, it must not happen again.”

    Mo Xia bowed slightly: "Thank you teacher."

    Lu Chenzhang didn't like Mo Ya being laughed at by others, so when Mo Ya sat down, he held Mo Ya's hand and said, "Ah Ya..."

    Mo Xia pointed at Mo Yunchao and whispered: "Your Highness, do you feel that Mo Yunchao is like a soft-legged duck with its throat strangled at this moment."

    Lu Chenzhang burst into laughter, forgetting the unhappiness just now: "Like...very like..."

    He Song put down Mo Ya's test paper, and began to comment on other people's articles.

    The students of Mingjian Pavilion are no more than thirteen years old.No matter how early enlightenment is, the family has invited countless great Confucians to teach them, after all, their experience is still inexperienced.Even if you read through a subset of classics and history, your understanding is superficial and rough.

    What's more, scratching his head and scratching his head, he only wrote a few sentences and handed in the paper indiscriminately.

    He Song just took a look at these articles, then put them aside without asking any more questions.

    Lu Chenzhang asked in a low voice: "Aya, who do you think will come out on top this time?"

    Mo Xia said without hesitation, "His Royal Highness."

    The palace is dominated by Concubine Qiong, and Mingjian Pavilion is honored by Taifu Cui.

    No matter who it is, they will not be willing to be that showy bird.In order to be proud for a while, offend the future prince.

    Lu Chenqi's writing has always been quite satisfactory.It's not brilliant, and it won't be easy for people to pick out what's wrong.

    After reading Lu Chenqi's article, the eldest prince was not only satisfied with his content, but also had some faint disdain for his literary talent: "Fourth emperor brother, I heard from your concubine Rong that you love to read books most of the day. Why do you read books, but you don't have knowledge?"A little progress?"

    Lu Chenqi pointed at her own article with some helplessness: "Brother Dahuang doesn't know, how can I love to read books? It's my mother and concubine who like to brag and show off in front of my aunt. It doesn't mean that I have gained my reputation. I read itThose historical books about policy and theory are just a pain in the brain, how can there be music and poems written by wind, flowers, snow and moons so happily?"

    The eldest prince looked at Lu Chenqi with hatred: "Fourth emperor brother, you used to be young and ignorant, just read these useless miscellaneous books. Now that you are getting older, you should do more serious things. MotherThe concubine is happy, and the concubine Rong is also happy."

    Lu Chenqi pursed her lips and frowned, as if she was very reluctant: "Brother Dahuang, you will soon forgive my younger brother, but my younger brother is not so careless. If the concubine mother asks, you have to help my younger brother to cover up."Don't encourage the mother and concubine to accept the piano scores of my younger brother. If so, my younger brother really has nothing to love, and I don't know how to live in this world."

    The eldest prince raised his head and patted Lu Chenqi on the head, his words were full of indulgence: "You can say anything nonsense? Carefully spread it to the ears of Empress Rong, and expose your skin."

    Lu Chenzhang looked at the eldest prince and Lu Chenqi's brothers and sisters in front of him, they were in harmony, and tugged on Mo Ya's sleeve: "Ah Ya, don't you think there is something strange between them?"

    "That's...that's..." Lu Chenzhang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a word to describe it accurately, "Why do I think that Lu Chenfan seems to hope that Lu Chenqi will continue to study the piano score, butIt’s not about studying policy theory.”

    Mo Xia smiled and said: "Your Highness, you should know how weak the family relationship between the Tian family is. No matter how much Concubine Qiong likes the Fourth Highness, she will not want the Fourth Highness to block her son's way."

    Glancing at the happy eldest prince and Lu Chenqi, Mo Xia pointed out, "What's more, what about the prince who has the same family and the same support?"

    .........

    Mo Xia never participated in the martial arts lessons of horseback riding and archery every afternoon.

    Because Zhuo Moya and Lu Chenzhang were not taken seriously, the master who taught martial arts didn't care about such a person more or less.

    But Lu Chenzhang liked it very much.

    So no matter how boring it is, Mo Ya will follow Lu Chenzhang to the training ground with a stagnant heart.

    Lu Chenzhang saw that Mo Ya had something on his mind, so he pretended to be obedient: "Ah Ya, I'll just go to the martial arts class this afternoon by myself, you can go to Mr. He."

    In Mo Ya's heart, His Highness Tian Da Di Da Da is the biggest.Naturally, it was impossible for him to let Lu Chenzhang go to the martial arts field alone.

    Who knows what ghosts and snakes will bully him?

    "Your Highness, I will accompany you. The lunch is so long, it is enough to discuss today's topic with Mr. He. There is no need to occupy the afternoon."

    Lu Chenzhang held the bamboo chopsticks: "Will this disturb Mr. He?"

    Mo Xia picked up a piece of roast meat and put it into Lu Chenzhang's bowl, and blurted out: "No, Mr. He doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break."

    The chopsticks in Lu Chenzhang's hand tightened: "Well, Aya, you really know Mr. He."

    Sitting in her own palace, Lu Chenqi twitched the tip of her nose: "Such a strong fragrance, I don't know what delicacy the fifth emperor's companion made for him?"

    Lu Chenqi's servant said with a smile while serving the dishes: "His Highness the Fifth Highness's companion, apart from other things, this cooking skill is truly outstanding. As far as the fragrance is concerned, no one in the imperial dining room can match it."

    Looking at the bland food on the table, Lu Chenqi felt inexplicably tasteless: "It's just that the room in this hall is so close to the Fifth Emperor, and I have to suffer from it every day. Think about the Fifth Emperor, with such aI don’t know how lucky it is to wait and read with you.”

    Xiao Hezi said: "How can His Highness Fifth Prince compare with your Highness? Your Majesty loves our empress, Fuxue Palace and Fengshu Palace are in this palace, and no one dares to neglect you. The four companions around you, who are you?"It wasn't that Concubine Qiong was carefully selected and came from a wealthy family with great talents. Kaiyang Palace had an unknown name on her back, or that His Majesty missed Empress Duanming every day, so she extrajudicially pardoned His Highness the crimes committed by the Fifth Highness.You have lost the grace of the saints. You have chosen a companion to read, but you don’t know everything except those unrefined skills. In this palace, your status as a holy family is first-class, so why compare with the fifth prince?"

    Lu Chenqi patiently waited for Xiaoluzi to finish speaking, then slowly put a chopstick of shredded bamboo shoots into his mouth, and chewed carefully: "Is it finished?"

    It was only then that Xiao Hezi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Highness, forgive me, but this servant talks too much. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

    After finishing speaking, he kowtowed several times with "bang bang bang", his forehead was blue and red.

    Lu Chenqi looked at Xiao Hezi, but did not speak.It wasn't until the meal was exhausted that he left a sentence: "The master is the master. No matter what others think of Kaiyang Palace, in this hall, the fifth emperor is the fifth emperor, not a disaster."

    .........

    "Knock knock—"

    He Song put down half of the books in his hand and said with a smile, "Go in."

    Mo Xia pushed the door open and entered.

    He Song looked at Mo Ya, and put the article written by Mo Ya today on the case: "I knew you would come."

    Mo Xia stood in front of He Song, and respectfully bowed to He Song: "I've met Mr. He."

    He Song looked at Mo Xia's standard posture of flowing clouds and flowing water, and a gleam of admiration flashed in his eyes: "In the Mingjian Pavilion, you call me a teacher. Here, you change your name to Master He. What's the meaning of this?"

    Mo Xia said: "In the Mingjian Pavilion, you are the teacher. After leaving the Mingjian Pavilion, you are the editor of the Imperial Academy and the lecturer. The etiquette cannot be discarded."

    He Song shook his head: "At such a young age, I have never seen someone who is more mature than you. It's really boring. Speaking of which, I'm not much older than you, and you can be regarded as my student. After all, adults are too unfamiliar. When there is no one, youJust call me teacher."

    The corners of Mo Ya's lips twitched, and he cursed in his heart: You are more than a round older than me, and you are not much older?But he didn't say it, he just changed his words obediently: "Yes, teacher."

    He Song looked at Mo Xia's expression and knew what he was thinking.But he insisted on thinking that he was very young, and said: "Mo Xia, you did a good job today."

    Mo Xia knelt and sat opposite He Song, looking up at He Song: "Teacher, the student is dull. What is your majesty's purpose for this question?"

    He Song pushed Mo Ya's silent essay forward: "Mo Xia, you are very smart, why do you need to ask me? Don't you know His Majesty's thoughts? If not, why would you not answer?"

    Mo Ya put her fingertips on the article: "The students just want a definite answer."

    He Song didn't answer Mo Ya's question, but instead asked, "Is it for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince?"

    Mo Xia was silent for a long time, and asked again: "Teacher, when will this imperial decree be announced to the world?"

    Emperor Delin made the title "I want what I want", not because I want to sacrifice my life for righteousness, but because I want to have both.

    Empress Duanming has passed away for many years, and Daliang needs a new empress.

    In Emperor Delin's heart, Empress Duanming is a delicious fish, and Concubine Qiong is that rare bear's paw.

    It's a pity that most of the candidates failed to guess De Lindi's intentions.

    To be exact, it was unexpected that Emperor Delin would publish his unspeakable little thoughts on such a serious topic in Chunwei.

    Mo Ya didn't answer today.

    Not only is it to hide the clumsiness of dealing with the eldest prince and the seventh prince's lineage, but also as a member of Kaiyang Palace, he is silently protesting against Emperor Delin's indifference and injustice.

    Seeing Mo Xia's insistence, He Song sighed, and said: "Concubine Qiong is a queen, it is the general trend. Empress Duanming has a high prestige among the people, what your Majesty lacks is a serious name. Everything is ready now, and it will be March at the latest, the imperial decree will be announced to the world after sealing it."

    He Song paused, and added: "There is no room for change."

    Mo Ya had expected it a long time ago, but when he thought of Lu Chenzhang, his heart was still dull and uncomfortable.How sad it would be to let him know about this.

    "Teacher, you asked this question in class today, is it also His Majesty's intention?"

    He Songdao: "I really can't hide anything from you."

    Mo Xia sighed deeply, only feeling something stuck in his heart.I can't spit it out, I can't swallow it, I want to ignore it but it's stuck in my throat: "Teacher, can students read your articles in the past few months?"

    He Song seemed to have expected that Mo Ya would ask this question a long time ago, so he took out the top sheet from the stack of papers neatly stacked beside the desk, and handed it to Mo Ya.

    The rhetoric is gorgeous and the writing is brilliant.

    From the state, one cannot be without a king for a day, and one cannot rise up to be a king without a descendant.From the belief of the king for the people, it sinks down to the example of a woman.

    The words are sincere and sincere.

    If Mo Xia hadn't known about it in advance, it would never have been obvious that this was an article flattering Emperor Delin.

    He Song looked at Mo Ya, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, with a forcibly distorted expression, and teased, "After reading this article, do you think I'm too flattering and unworthy of the title of number one scholar?"

    Mo Xia put down the article and shook his head: "Students don't dare, let alone have such an idea."

    "Oh?" He Song raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It really makes me feel a little curious when you say that. You should know that once this article is published, all my classmates and scholars, scholars and celebrities all over the world will poke at it.scratching my spine, accusing me of being cute and cartilage, unworthy of being an official."

    Mo Xia looked up at He Song: "Will the teacher be afraid of these remarks?"

    He Song proudly said, "If I was afraid, why would I let this article come from my pen?"

    Mo Xia said with a smile: "Teacher has a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and even has the ambition to prosper the country and benefit the country. If you don't become an official in the court, you have a proud and pure style, and you live in seclusion in the mountains. How can you give back to the people? Isn't it abandoning the people of the world?In this way, it is better to go the other way and enter the court and become an official. In the future, the government will be ruled out, agriculture and mulberry will be revived, and it will last forever, isn’t it a good story?"

    "As for the process..." Mo Xia seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head with a smile and raised it quickly: "As long as the final result is good, who cares?"

    He Song's eyes became brighter and his expression became more and more excited. When he heard the end, he could not restrain his shock and appreciation on his face: "Mo Xia, you really impress me. At such a young age, you can see things in the world.It’s so thorough. It’s a pity that some people have never figured out such a simple truth in their entire lives, and they are trapped in a mustard, and they can’t get it all their lives.”

    He Song looked at Mo Ya and said, "Mo Xia, if I didn't know your age, I really thought you'd at least be here."

    Mo Xia: "..."

    Mo Xia quietly avoided the topic: "Teacher, thank you for clarifying the students' doubts."

    After speaking, he wanted to get up.

    He Song looked at Mo Ya, and suddenly said: "Mo Xia, you are very talented, but because of family difficulties, you had to enter the palace to be the companion of the fifth prince. You don't know the situation of the fifth prince in the palace, don't you?Haven't you thought about joining Mingzhu?"

    "You are a piece of unfinished jade. I believe no one will refuse the opportunity to carve this beautiful jade of yours."

    Mo Ya had always been plain, until now, his expression finally changed.

    "Teacher." Mo Xia clenched his fists, and pushed back the article written by He Songchunwei in front of him, "I entered the palace because of Ming Xianghou's mansion, I have no choice. Staying with His Royal Highness Fifth Prince is for Your Highness,I am willing. I know that the teacher has plans for me, but I will never leave His Highness in this life."

    He Song wanted to persuade again: "Mo Xia, I sincerely persuade you. You should know that there is no future at all with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. You are in a difficult situation now, but you can still survive, so you don't careWhen that day really comes, it will be a life-and-death struggle. The fifth prince's chances of winning are almost zero. Even so, do you still choose to follow the fifth prince?"

    Mo Xia lowered his eyes: "Teacher, in this life, a person must have some faith and perseverance, so that he can live in this world. Besides..."

    Mo Xia looked at He Song and said with a smile, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
