Mofu.
"Mo Li, I heard that Su Qinglian is at your house now?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said, looking around.
Mo Li said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to do this? Have you forgotten?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Well, I remember now."
Mo Li said, "I have arranged for her to stay in the small building. Your Majesty, if Su Qinglian knew that you took such great pains to arrange for her, the daughter of a convicted official, to stay in my residence, she would surely be filled with gratitude and repay you wholeheartedly."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Well, but there's no need to ask her to return my affection. You don't need to tell Su Qing that she loves me. Just say that it was all your idea."
Li Qiye nodded.
At this time, He Shen came over, saw the Emperor, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your servant He Shen pays homage to the Emperor."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "No need to be polite."
Heshen stood up.
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Heshen, why are you here?"
He Shen did not answer, but said: "Your Majesty, I heard everything you said just now. Your Majesty is a man of great literary and military achievements. Women all look up to you. There is no one who does not dream of serving you. Of course, Your Majesty does not need to use any tricks."
Emperor Gai Zhang was stunned when he heard this and said, "Heshen, what do you mean by this?"
He Shen asked, "Could it be that the Emperor came to the Mo Residence tonight not to visit Su Qinglian?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I didn't mean that. Heshen, don't get the wrong idea. I already gave Su Qinglian to Mo Li."
He Shen looked at Li Qiye with an expression of envy and jealousy. He had previously forced Su Qinglian back to the capital to show his loyalty to Emperor Gai Zhang and to please him. He had always believed that Emperor Gai Zhang was interested in Su Qinglian, but he had never expected that he was mistaken.
At this time, a maid came down from upstairs and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Mo, and Mr. He, Miss Su said she was not feeling well and has already fallen asleep in the guest room."
He Shen said, "What happened? Didn't you tell her that the emperor was coming?"
The maid said, "I have said so."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I came to the Mo Mansion today just to see Su Qinglian. Since she is not feeling well, I will come another day."
He Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are truly kind and gentle to women. I'm afraid you will spoil her beyond measure in the future."
Mo Li said, "He Shen, how could you not understand? Chasing a woman is like cooking a delicacy; slow and steady cooking is the most enjoyable."
He Shen said, "Mo Li, are you saying that the Emperor wants to pursue Su Qinglian?"
Mo Li said, "That's not what I meant. Since the Emperor has handed Su Qinglian over to me, there's no reason for him to take her back. I just want to say that we should give Su Qinglian some time and space to think it over. Once she's figured it out, she'll naturally throw herself into my arms."
He Shen said, "It seems that Lord Mo is very good at this matter."
Li Qiye said shamelessly, "That's right, sir. You have to learn this from me."
Heshen thought to himself, what a waste of time.
Mo Li said, "By the way, Your Majesty, why did you come to see Su Qinglian?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I have something I want to ask her. Since she is not feeling well, I will not force it. Mo Li, do not blame or complain about Su Qinglian."
Mo Li said yes.
Emperor Gai Zhang turned and left.
……
One day, Mo Li was walking on the street when he suddenly heard a knocking sound and followed the sound.
When we arrived at the place, we saw two stonemasons carving stone lions.
Mo Li asked, "May I ask who carved this stone lion?"
The stonemason replied, "My Lord, this is for the garden of the Hezhong Hall."
