Chen Mo leaned against the dressing table, one hand propping up his cheek, watching Ye Wanqiu eat strawberries, he smiled and said, "Madam, how does it taste?"

"Delicious." Like Xiao Yunxi, Ye Wanqiu’s eating manner was equally elegant and pleasing to the eye.

"As long as it’s delicious, it’s worth stealing it from the Empress for you." Chen Mo said.

"Oh..."

Ye Wanqiu had just eaten the tip of the strawberry, when it suddenly fell on the dressing table. Her eyes stared blankly at Chen Mo, unable to utter a single word.

"You... you... you..." Ye Wanqiu closed the box containing the strawberries, handed it to Chen Mo, and said anxiously, "Quick... quick, sneak it back, if the Empress finds out, you... you’ll be in big trouble."

Chen Mo didn’t take it. He smiled and said, "But you’ve already eaten one, even if I return it, the Empress would still find out."

"You... why didn’t you say earlier? If you’d told me earlier, I wouldn’t have eaten it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqiu was so anxious she was about to cry.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Madam, you didn’t take it seriously, did you? I was just joking with you." Seeing she couldn’t take the teasing, Chen Mo simply admitted.

But Ye Wanqiu had already taken it seriously. Hearing this, she said with some disbelief, "Really?"

"Truer than gold." Chen Mo replied.

"Then... then why did you joke with me like this, don’t you know I..."

The following words, Ye Wanqiu stopped abruptly, huffed a couple of times and said.

"How could I expect you to be so naive, madam, to believe what I said." Chen Mo laughed.

"You..." Ye Wanqiu glanced around, seemingly looking for something to throw at Chen Mo, but only found her own rouge nearby. Unable to find anything to throw, she angrily raised her hand to hit Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo grabbed it.

"Let go."

"I won’t let go, why are you hitting me?"

"Who else am I supposed to hit after being tricked and talked to like this by you?" Ye Wanqiu gritted her teeth.

Even though she was angry, the words she spoke were gentle and soft.

Chen Mo’s face suddenly moved a bit closer, looking straight at Ye Wanqiu.

"You... what are you doing?" Ye Wanqiu’s heart suddenly started beating faster.

Her body moved back.

"Madam, there’s some dirt on your face..." Chen Mo raised his hand, seemingly wanting to wipe it off for Ye Wanqiu.

"Ah..." Ye Wanqiu was somewhat dumbfounded, her cheeks blushing as she watched Chen Mo’s hand approach her face. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Soon, Ye Wanqiu felt a warm touch coming from her cheek.

His hand was now on her face.

What did he intend to do?

Ye Wanqiu’s heart was in a flutter.

She had read many books.

Among those books, there were naturally some love stories written by impoverished scholars.

Therefore, the scene that Chen Mo created next.

Ye Wanqiu seemed to have anticipated it.

Was he going to kiss her?

But, but, how could he dare to kiss her?

She was the Emperor’s woman.

But why didn’t she find it repulsive?

Ye Wanqiu, oh Ye Wanqiu, what’s the matter with you?

Even if you don’t like His Majesty, you can’t like an eunuch...

Ye Wanqiu’s mind was in a mess, her eyelashes trembled slightly. As Chen Mo’s face came closer, instead of dodging, Ye Wanqiu slowly closed her eyes.

It’s said in books that when a man and woman kiss for the first time, they always feel happy.

Ye Wanqiu wanted to experience that.

At this moment, Ye Wanqiu suddenly felt the breath that had been falling on her face disappear.

When she opened her eyes, she suddenly heard Chen Mo say, "Madam, I opened the window, don’t you feel it’s easier to breathe now?"

Ye Wanqiu was puzzled when suddenly the sound of a bamboo curtain being lifted came to her ears. Qing Shuang came in carrying hot water and said, "Young Mistress was lazy, when I went there, the water had just boiled. Sorry for making Madam wait."

Qing Shuang placed the wooden basin on the table by the bed and brought a towel.

Taking advantage of Qing Shuang’s attention being elsewhere, Chen Mo took the strawberry stem from the dressing table and ate it. He said, "Madam, don’t waste it. This servant shall take his leave."

With that, he got up to leave.

Ye Wanqiu was immediately embarrassed.

After all, the strawberry was the one she had eaten.

But with Qing Shuang present, Ye Wanqiu could only suppress her shyness and hum, then quickly calm her feelings.

At that moment, Ye Wanqiu suddenly remembered something and quickly called after Chen Mo.

"Chen Hong, you... wait a moment." Ye Wanqiu got up, went to the bedside, and took a sachet from under the pillow, then handed it to Chen Mo.

She said, "The spice you asked me to make for you, I’ve finished it. Smell it... if you don’t like the scent, I... I’ll make you a new one."

"It smells wonderful!" Chen Mo just sniffed lightly, then put it away and smiled, "As long as it’s made by you, madam, I like it."

After speaking, he winked at Ye Wanqiu and left with the sachet.

"Madam, what did he say?" Qing Shuang didn’t hear clearly what Chen Mo said, so she walked over in confusion and then asked, "Madam, why is your face so red?"

"Hot... it’s hot." Ye Wanqiu wasn’t good at lying. As soon as she lied, she couldn’t help but look around.

Because Chen Mo was an eunuch, and Ye Wanqiu was a titled consort, Qing Shuang didn’t think that Ye Wanqiu would condescend to like an eunuch, so she didn’t think in that direction and believed what Ye Wanqiu said.

She murmured, "That’s why the window was opened for ventilation."

Saying that, she noticed the wooden box on the dressing table, a completely unfamiliar wooden box, and asked in confusion, "Madam, what is this?"

"It’s nothing." Ye Wanqiu quickly collected the box, not letting Qing Shuang see it.

Although Qing Shuang was curious, she was just a maid, and Ye Wanqiu was her master. She couldn’t insist that Ye Wanqiu show it to her.

That would be overstepping her bounds.

Therefore, Qing Shuang didn’t pay it much mind, saying, "Madam, let me assist you with washing up."

"Mm."

...

The military system of the Great Song Dynasty was very complicated.

The armed forces were mainly composed of the Imperial Guard, Provincial Army, Local Militia, and Frontier Army.

The Imperial Guard was the Central Army, under the jurisdiction of the Three Armies: the Palace Guard Department, the Cavalry Guard Department, and the Guard Infantry Department.

Each had a Commander-in-Chief, a Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and a Commander of the Imperial Guard. The organization was divided into four levels: Camp, Army, Battalion, and Company.

A Camp consisted of seventeen Armies, an Army consisted of 7 Battalions, a Battalion consisted of 5 Companies, and each Company had 100 people.

The military officers at each level were: Chief, Deputy Commander, and Commander of the Imperial Guard for a Camp; Military Commander, Deputy Commander, and Commander of the Imperial Guard for an Army; Camp Commander, Deputy Camp Commander, Captain (in Cavalry Army called Military Envoy), Deputy Captain (in Cavalry Army called Deputy Cavalry Commander).

Below these were Commanders, Ten Generals, Generals, Commanders of the Imperial Guard, and so on.

Chen Mo was assigned the position of a Captain in the Fourth Camp of the Third Battalion of the Tiger Warriors in the Guard Infantry Department.
