"His Majesty actually has such a precious Wine Stone Cup. As expected, all of the world's treasures are in the palace." Mo Qingfeng laughed, "Just now, this commoner was just drinking plain water."

The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone could clearly smell the strong aroma of the wine, and even Mo Qingfeng himself was choked with tears. Even though he said that it was just water, he was too bold to lie.

"Oh, how is it called 'plain water'?" Nangong Kai Ran asked.

"This cup is called the Stone Wine Cup. After pouring some white water into the cup, it will be able to emit the aroma of wine. However, since water is water, no matter how much you drink, it will not get drunk. As a result, when we poured the wine, the aroma of the wine was first very light and then became more and more fragrant. It was simply because the white water had been in the cup for longer and longer periods of time. "

"Qingfeng is indeed very knowledgeable." Nangong Kai Ran praised.

"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I dare not accept your praise. There are wine and medicine pills produced near the student's hometown for making this kind of cup, but the production is very little. Moreover, most of the wine and medicine pills are very small, only about the size of an adult's thumb.

The second side of the handkerchief was covered by a cup of tea. The tea inside was golden in color and had already been filtered out.

"Qingfeng, try this tea. What kind of tea do you like?"

In his heart, Mo Qingfeng secretly asked the emperor about his maternal elders. With the help of a eunuch at the side, he rinsed his mouth to wash away the heavy taste of the liquor in it. Helplessly, he raised his teacup, first watching the scene, then smelling the fragrance, and then tasting.

"Fragrant and refreshing, orange and yellow soup. It was produced in Dongting Lake, Junshan silver needles, in addition to medlar, dried cinnamon, and red dates. This tea nourishes one's Qi and blood. It nourishes one's eyes and nourishes one's body. However, one cannot drink too much. It will only ignite the fire. "

Nangong Kai Ran didn't say anything as he pointed to the third tray. Mo Qingfeng walked over and removed the silk handkerchief. Inside the pot was a spherical plant with no leaves on it, densely covered in thorns.

"Celestial Sphere?" Mo Qingfeng was surprised, "I didn't expect to see a celestial ball in the capital? "I've only heard about the fact that I've never seen the real thing in a book before. Today is truly an eye-opener." When he was young, he remembered that there was a pair of merchants that brought back this strange plant in the desert. The merchant was good friends with his elder brother, and said that he brought a precious flower seed to drink and admire flowers in his residence. Who would have thought that it would be such a hedgehog? Then one time he was afraid that the cactus would die of thirst and risk his life to pour a pot of water over it, and so the unlucky cactus died in his sorrow.

Nangong Kai Ran nodded, "Qing Feng is indeed knowledgeable." It was said that the Northwest Subordinate Country had a strong vitality, even without watering for a month or two, he would not die. He had always been left in the warehouse of the Internal Affairs Bureau by Nangong Kai Ran, and never had the thought of giving him a chance to show off his talent, if not for finding some treasures for Mo Qingfeng, he would not be able to see the light of day again.

"Since only Qing Feng was able to recognize this Celestial Ball in the entire imperial court, I shall bestow it to you!"

Mo Qingfeng's face was filled with black lines as he thought to himself, you haven't asked anyone else, how do you know that no one knows of it? For a great emperor to actually use a pot of celestial human balls as a reward, it was really too cheap. However, even if he wanted to, he still had to take off his clothes and kneel down to express his gratitude. While she was thanking him, she thought that it would be good if she could take it back and give it to Qin Xiaozui. It would be quite fun to stab her when she wasn't paying attention.

In the last tray was a poem. The paper was a little yellow, and it seemed to be aged. The handwriting was delicate and pretty, a woman's hand.

Mo Qingfeng picked up the note, and upon seeing it, his face paled. "Student, may I ask where did Your Majesty's poem come from?"

"If you can say who did this poem, I'll tell you where this poem came from."

"The student is still inexperienced and doesn't know the poem." Mo Qingfeng gritted his teeth and kneeled to apologize. Before the other court officials could react, Ming Xiao Yuan panicked. However, he didn't dare to rush forward to pull Mo Qingfeng up.

Nangong Kairan did not lose his temper, but taught the eunuch to pass on the piece of paper to the court officials to see. The young court officials did not have much of a reaction, and the most surprising thing was that Mo Qingfeng did not even know the poems in the scriptures, but the older court officials did not have any good looks, and looked at each other speechlessly. The owner of the handwriting was the most talented girl in this dynasty, Soft. Her calligraphy from back then had caused quite a stir, so who in the capital wouldn't take pride in obtaining her calligraphy? Even the current emperor was completely mesmerized by her. It was said that if the daughter of the Ruan family was a man, she would definitely be a material for the top scholar. Of course, this woman did not pass the examinations in disguise as a man, nor was she allowed to serve in the imperial court. It was just that she later married a martial arts scholar, the General Mo whom Nangong Kairan had mentioned. And now, her son had also come to take the martial arts exam. This was truly something that was destined to happen in the underworld.

The poem on the note was actually very common. It was the poem from the Book of Songs, "The Hooligan". However, what made Mo Qingfeng helpless was the handwriting of his mother, Ruan Rou. Ming Xiao Yuan naturally recognized the handwriting, and his expression couldn't help but change. Looking at Mo Qingfeng's kneeling back, he thought that perhaps he really shouldn't have followed his master's instructions to pull Qing Feng into the muddy water of the imperial court.

"It's not that you don't know, but you just don't dare to say it, right?" Although it was a question, Nangong Kai Ran's tone was very confident, "That year, Mother Yuan and General Mo were together, why did she give birth to you? Was it your mother's orders that you came to participate in the martial arts competition? "Does she have any words for you to bring back to me?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, my mother has nothing to say. She only told me that I must obtain the title of champion and return home to my ancestors."

"Ruan Niang is actually still thinking about that Mo fellow!" Nangong Kai Ran's heart was filled with jealousy. It was one thing if he didn't love Ruan Rou, but Ruan Rou never loved him in her heart.

Mo Qingfeng was silent. He had not personally seen what happened to his mother and General Mo back then, but from the words of his master and the people around him, he could tell that the truth was pretty much pieced together.

"Since you are Ruan Niang's son, I will naturally take care of you." From today onwards, you shall follow beside me! "

At this point, Nangong Kai Ran's inspection on Mo Qingfeng had completely concluded. Mo Qingfeng had officially ascended to the throne of the Grand Scholar, becoming a personal guard of the palace. He had accompanied the Emperor on both sides and received a fourth grade salary.

The palace guards were divided into three categories, one for the personal guard, one for the guard, one for the guard, one for the guard, and one for the guard. The palace guards were divided into three grades, one for the guard, one for the guard, one for the guard. However, Mo Qingfeng, as a personal guard, was different from the others. He was directly paid a salary of the fourth grade, which was equivalent to the emperor's personal guard, and as long as he listened to the emperor's orders, he could ignore anyone else. He was only second to the chief steward. The civil and military officials looked at each other in dismay, unable to say anything. The young had no right to speak, and the old knew of the disputes from the past, so they didn't dare to persuade him.

After leaving the imperial court, he had made a great achievement of going to the inner palace to visit his sister, Imperial Consort Hui. The things he had arranged had always changed, which made him feel uneasy.

"What is brother thinking of coming to see me today?" Huifei was already thirty-seven years old, but because of her good maintenance, she was not much different from a young girl in her early twenties. The mature and charming look at the corners of her eyes was something that those young girls couldn't compare to, and it was no wonder that she had been favored by Nangong Kairen for so many years, even giving the title of Crown Prince to the Fourth Prince, Nangong Hong.

"Have you heard? In the morning assembly, His Majesty bestowed upon a kid called Mo Qingfeng the title of the champion."

"I heard, he's just a nobody. Brother, you don't have to be so worried." Esteemed wangfei couldn't help but mock him in her heart. This year, these warriors had all been conferred official positions in the imperial court, and he had saved Shi Huang. This was already an unprecedented event, it was nothing strange for him to order another martial arts scholar. During these years, the Emperor had become more and more adept at playing. The more he played, the more out of bounds he had become.

"He's not a nobody, he's Ruan Rou's son!" The name Ruan Rou was always a thorn in the hearts of the two siblings. Who would have thought that it would still be pulled out after so many years?

"What?" Ruan Rou's son! " Hufei was surprised. "Brother, are you sure?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm sure. What matters is that His Majesty is sure."

"Then what should we do? Will His Majesty investigate that incident?" If, if we knew that Ruan Rou had left that year … Brother, what do you think we should do?! " Esteemed wangfei almost screamed out. It was a good thing that every time they came to see her, they always had the habit of suppressing their servants. Otherwise, if they saw her like this, they would have to shut them up.

"Look at how you are now. How are you going to be the mother of a nation in the future?" "I haven't even said anything, and you're already panicking. I think that the Emperor was infatuated with Ruan Rou for a time, so you don't have to worry. The thing that I am worried about is that Mo Qingfeng really looks like Ruan Rou. If Your Majesty has any ulterior motives, sister, you should always be on the lookout for him! "

"What? He …" "All these years, I was all for him, but where did he put me? This time, if he misses again, I do not care about what Mo Qingfeng or Ruan Qingfeng says, watch as I clean up everything for him! " What she cared about was not what she thought about success. A man, no matter how much Nangong Kai Ran loved him, could he still be given a wife or concubine? It was just that — that damned old bastard. He was infatuated with his mother and his son. How could she endure this? How could he endure this?
