Chapter 1140 - 1142: Catering to Preferences
Unexpectedly, Yu Siqiao remained quite calm and said, "I expected it."
Mo Shu saw him like this and thought: [He should have prepared a clean background long ago, right?]
Sao Zha: [No, he directly replaced Qiao Cang’s identity and is living as Qiao Cang!]
Mo Shu was slightly startled, [Is there really a person like Qiao Cang?]
Sao Zha: [Yes, he has the same face he has now.]
In an instant, Mo Shu understood.
Indeed.
If he didn’t have the same face, how could a person suddenly appear without anyone doubting it?
The Emperor said, "Your parents died young, and you grew up with your cousin. Why hasn’t your cousin come to see me?"
Yu Siqiao said, "He came, but my cousin has always been crude since childhood and didn’t dare to disturb Your Majesty’s presence. However, he sent along a gift for Your Majesty."
"A gift?"
"Yes, Your Majesty can confirm it. My cousin is a stableman and is best at training various Ferghana horses. Three years ago, he was already training a rare purebred Military Grain Horse, which is on its way to the Capital and will arrive soon."
The Emperor’s eyes lit up.
Military Grain Horses are called so because they are fast and incredibly strong, suitable for transporting grain in the army, saving a lot of manpower and horsepower.
Hence named Military Grain Horses, they are extremely rare, let alone purebreds.
Even as the Emperor, it’s difficult to purchase a few of them.
This cousin is truly sincere!
Mo Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "Is this your sincerity or your cousin’s sincerity?"
Yu Siqiao chuckled, "This horse has always been regarded by my cousin as a cherished treasure. Many have offered thousands in gold to buy it, yet all have failed. Now it’s because I requested it that my cousin is willing to part with it and give it to His Majesty, so it is both my cousin’s and my sincerity."
Mo Shu nodded, "Indeed, this horse is truly rare."
The Emperor laughed heartily and said, "In that case, I must meet your cousin!"
"If His Majesty is interested, my cousin can come to see Your Majesty, but my cousin has always been bold and crude, afraid of disturbing Your Majesty’s presence."
"That’s fine. Did he come this time?"
Yu Siqiao nodded, "The Ferghana horse is being escorted by my cousin to express our sincerity."
Mo Shu was secretly startled.
Qiao Cang might have a cousin.
But where did Yu Siqiao get a cousin?
Could he have really gone to find his previous cousin?
Mo Shu pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of Sun Qing.
Could it be...
That he let that Sun Qing pretend to be his cousin?
It’s not impossible...
The Emperor’s mood immediately improved, greatly anticipating the Ferghana horse, and said, "That’s very good. I see your chess skills are decent; Shushu is useless in this regard, and I am not at all entertained. Come and play with me!"
Mo Shu’s heart felt pricked and said, "Father, how can you say that!"
The Emperor snorted coldly, "Did I say anything wrong?"
Mo Shu snorted softly and stood up, no longer wanting to play.
Yu Siqiao grinned and nodded, "To refuse would be disrespectful."
They played for an entire morning.
A horse and two chess games made the Emperor’s impression of him improve tenfold.
Mo Shu silently marveled at Yu Siqiao’s charm.
At this moment, Zhao Mei came holding a child and said, "Princess, the little master seems hungry."
Mo Shu stepped forward to hold him, "What about the other one?"
Zhao Mei said, "Sister Ji Nan is holding him."
