The plum courtyard in front of Tianfeng Palace

The queen prepared today's family banquet, and from Tianfeng Palace along the corridor to the east, out of the forest, that is, Merlin.

In addition to this plum garden, there are also Guiyuan Garden and Peony Garden, which are several gardens that the queen likes.

The melons and fruits have been sent early, the high-ranking concubines greet each other gently, and the hall is becoming more and more lively, because it is just a family banquet, and there are no outsiders, so it is not too formal.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" shouted the eunuch outside

All the concubines, under the leadership of the queen, greeted them and knelt on the ground.

"Let's get up!" Among them came was Emperor Zongwen, the emperor of Great Qin, who was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, with a simple face and a bit of coldness that did not smile.

He was followed by his three sons and a nephew.

The gentle and jade-like Feng Jue Xuan, the graceful and handsome Feng Juelei, the evil and handsome Feng Jue dyed, and the elegant Bai Yihao like the moon.

After seeing the ceremony, the emperor and queen entered the table, and everyone also sat down.

The Queen Mother, as in previous years, said that she was unwell and did not come.

After a few singing and dancing, the queen put down the cup in her hand and said to Emperor Zongwen with a smile: "Has the emperor heard of the Yunshang Feather Dance?"

"Is the queen ready?" Emperor Zongwen asked with a smile, it is said that the hem of this cloud dress and feather coat has been lost for hundreds of years, and occasionally it is only obtained from books.

"Your Majesty, please look!" the queen clapped her hand with a smile, and all the people who were singing and dancing retreated, revealing a vacant space, and music slowly sounded, and a group of beautifully dressed women embraced one of the beautiful girls, who appeared as if falling from the sky, standing on the ground, and dancing leisurely to the music.

Sometimes hovering like clouds, sometimes moving like the bright moon in the sky, dresses flying, ribbons flying, looking back, affectionate, running, delicate......

"Big brother, this Second Miss Ling is really beautiful, with this dancing, she is also a leader. Feng Jue stabbed Feng Juexuan with his immodest hand, squinted at his handsome eyes and laughed, "But why does the queen let her jump at the family banquet now......?"

His words were very light, but it was enough for the two people around him to hear clearly, Feng Juelei's face suddenly became gloomy, he pursed his mouth tightly, his eyes were slightly angry, Feng Juexuan's face only stiffened, and then returned to normal.

"Eighth brother, don't talk nonsense, the queen just let us enjoy a dance music that has been lost. ”

"How can there be a beauty in dance music that is easier to be appreciated, don't you think that beauty is hard to find, it's a pity to let go of such a beauty, if the eldest brother is really boring, I am very interesting, I can't ask for it in front of the queen!"

"Eighth brother, don't speak, my father has come to see it. Feng Juelei reminded.

Sure enough, Emperor Zongwen's sideways eyes glared at Feng Jueran fiercely, but he didn't feel it at all, he still had a beautiful handsome face, smiling happily.

After the dance, Ling Fengyan's long skirt was on the ground, and his body knelt on the ground like a flower, and bowed three times and nine bows to Emperor Zongwen.

"Okay, queen, this niece of your mother's family is really good, she can dance this kind of dance, she is smart. Emperor Zongwen praised.

"Your Majesty, you have a good reputation, just a little skill, and you can laugh at the emperor. The queen waved her hand, and Ling Fengyan retreated, "Your Majesty, the harem has been really monotonous in the past few years, if you can let more sisters enter the palace, you may be able to see more beautiful dances than this." ”

The queen refers to the draft, Emperor Zongwen is a diligent emperor, and he does not like drafts, and he has only been selected three or four times for more than 20 years as an emperor, and the number is not large.

"There are mostly empty palaces in the harem, and there are only two of the four concubines, the meaning of the concubine body, a little bit in the selection of a few families, and there is no need to choose with great fanfare, this harem is empty, and it is always a concubine. The queen said gently, with a leisurely and generous ** image.

This is indeed the case in this palace now, there are not many concubines, and there are even fewer high-ranking concubines.

"The queen is in charge!" Emperor Zongwen glanced at her and said lightly.

"Then the concubine body will pick a few times, the concubine body was actually optimistic about a few last time, and it will be good for the emperor to choose later?" asked the queen with a smile.

"You are in charge, the princess of the three of them, has it been decided?" Emperor Zongwen asked, pointing to the three adult sons sitting on the side.

"Several princes' mansions need to enter two side concubines, one concubine, the concubine body is now drawing up a list, but the niece of the concubine body ......" The queen hesitated for a moment, and looked at Feng Juexuan and Feng Juelei sitting together in embarrassment, looking like she didn't know who to choose.

"Why do the eldest and third like her?" Emperor Zongwen's eyes looked at the two sons of the brother and brother Gong over there, and there was an inexplicable darkness in his eyes, and he asked lightly.

"This is not," the empress, who was familiar with Emperor Zongwen, was startled and immediately explained, "King Yan has been with her since she was a child, and she has already faintly revealed it in front of me, but when the King of Chu came to Jin to see his concubines a while ago, he happened to be there, and I heard that they went out together at that time, and it was rumored that the two of them were outside...... Although the concubines knew that the two of them would observe the ceremony, there would be nothing, but they were afraid that the rumors would hurt the king of Chu, so they ...... "The queen is embarrassed."

Emperor Zongwen's eyes fell lightly on Empress Juanxiu's face, the corners of his mouth were tightened, and even the empress who was familiar with Emperor Zongwen didn't know what he was thinking, and his palms couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"You are in charge of this matter, since it is not a private teaching, you can do it, royal children, the rules are more important, and the words of parents should prevail between men and women. After a long while, Emperor Zongwen slowly spoke.

"Yes, the concubine understands, then the concubine will go to do this next. The queen still said generously and calmly.

"Just let Mingzhu come with you, she's idle anyway. Emperor Zongwen said lightly.

"Yes!" the queen's eyes flashed a hint of shadow, and she piled up a smiling face, and then she didn't talk about business, she feasted and drank, and she was a happy heavenly scene!

The Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to be an unquiet night.

Mo Huawen's study was in a commotion, the mansion was alarmed, and finally even the old lady hurried there, Mo Xuetong was unwell and drank too much, and she had already fallen asleep, but she was not disturbed at all.

The next day, before he sat up by touching his blunt head, Moyu rushed in like a gust of wind.

Last night, something happened!

Lan Xinru found the key out of nowhere, so she went directly to the study, and by sending wine and food, she was fascinated by the wine and food, intending to make Mo Huawen commit it, but Mo Huawen felt abnormal, threw away the wine and food, and dragged the old lady over for comment.

"Miss, you don't know, that Miss Lan is really faceless this time, I heard that she moved out last night. Mo Yu smiled.

Lan Xinru moved out? Mo Xuetong washed her face, touched her head that was still a little painful, and asked, "You moved last night?"

"But no, I heard that the old man was angry on the spot, the fire was very big, and he also scolded a few guards of the mother-in-law's cane, and now one or two are lying down and can't get up, and the old lady went up to plead, and they were all bounced off. Mo Yu and a few people have been following Mo Xuetong, the old lady was deliberately embarrassed, and in her eyes, at this time, her eyebrows naturally fluttered, and she felt that she had breathed a sigh for the young lady.

Lan Xinru went out of the house so happily, it was indeed unexpected!

With Lan Xinru's person, no matter what, he will die here, begging the old lady for protection, but looking at the current meaning, his father has done such a desperate thing, it is not because Lan Xinru collided with his father yesterday, and his father will be so angry!

"What did the old lady say?" she certainly didn't believe the old lady would be so kind to give up.

"The old lady was also angry yesterday, and then she almost fainted, the old man consciously did too much, and he kept watch over the old lady last night!" Mo Lan gently combed Mo Xuetong's long black hair and replied.

That is to say, Lan Xinru's matter is not over yet!

Mo Xuetong knew that Mo Huawen was a human being, and when she was angry, she couldn't listen to the old lady's persuasion, and directly drove Lan Xinru away, and later saw the old lady like this, she must blame herself, and the old lady will definitely take advantage of this to get Lan Xinru back into the mansion, and it seems that her actions have to be faster.

"Mo Lan, you will help me send a message to my grandmother in a while, saying that I am sick, and there is no one in the house to take care of me, can you let Aunt Xu Yan take care of me for a few days?" Mo Xuetong picked up a golden hairpin in his hand, shook it casually, and said lightly.

"Yes, the slave will do it in a while. Mo Lan knew Mo Xuetong's thoughts, and immediately responded.

"Miss, the slave maid just came from the front, I heard that the prince of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion was taken to the criminal department yesterday, and it is said that it has not been released until now, and the marriage of the fourth lady seems to be a failure. "Mo Yu is the least known among the few people, but he doesn't have a good impression of Sima Lingyun by nature, and he is very happy when he talks about his gossip at this time.

Mo Xuetong lowered her eyes, hiding a trace of a smile in her eyes, no matter what, this time Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin had such a thing, Mo Mansion and Zhenguohou Mansion were no longer possible, the biggest stone in her heart in her previous life fell to the ground, and her heart was much more relaxed, she couldn't help it, raised her head, and smiled.

"The affairs of the fourth lady are in the hands of your girl, and my father has his own judgment. "Mo Xueqiong can't be Sima Lingyun's concubine anymore, so it's okay, she broke off with the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion cleanly, so that she feels that she is reliving her life, and she is no longer the Mo Xue Tong of the past!

"Miss, how dare the slave maid, anyway, the fourth miss is still young, and she is not in a hurry, and it will not be too much to ask for someone in two or three years. Mo Yujiao said angrily.

A few people were in a good mood talking and laughing, and Mother Xu ran in panting, and said hurriedly,

"Miss, Miss, Fourth Miss is rushing to your side angrily. ”

"What is she here for?" Mo Xue was stunned for a moment, retracted the smile in her eyes, and asked coldly.

"I don't know, the old slave only saw the fourth lady gritting her teeth and coming over......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp voice coming from the gate of the courtyard: "Mo Xuetong, you come out for me!"
