Chapter Forty-Seven: The Queen of the Flower Banquet is born
Everyone was awakened by the bang, and they all looked angrily at the person who disturbed Bai Yihao's lofty and elegant piano sound, and only when they saw the smiling evil and lazy handsome face, they realized that it was actually King Xuan's prank, thinking of this King Xuan's favor in front of Emperor Zongwen, who would dare to say anything more, and directly turned into a smile with kindness with anger.
The form of the imperial palace is now very different from before, and no one dares to offend King Xuan head-on! Because he is Emperor Zongwen's favorite son.
In the past, Emperor Zongwen only had two adult princes around him.
The eldest prince Chu Wang Feng Juexuan, the third prince Yan Wang Feng Juelei, the only two of them are the most powerful competitors for the throne.
The mother concubine of the king of Chu is Su Guifei, the only person in the palace who can be compared with the queen, although the mother's family is not a person in the four major dukes' mansions, but it is an upstart, the Su family is very vocal in the officials because of Su Guifei's favor in the harem, and there is a faint potential that is not weaker than the four major dukes, plus the eldest prince occupies a long word, and has a gentle temperament, treats people politely, and there are a large number of people who are optimistic about him, although they do not support all on the surface, they will always express themselves more or less in secret.
The situation of King Yan is different from that of King Chu, his mother is the queen's sister, so after his early death, he was raised by the queen's side, and the power behind him is the Dingguo Mansion, the powerful Dingguo Mansion plus the queen's power, and the queen mother hidden behind the scenes, no one dares to underestimate it, and it occupies the first place in terms of strength.
Compared with the gentleness and elegance of King Yan, the King of Chu seems to have no desire and no desire, only famous for poetry and books, known as the style of a famous person, and King Yan deserves a feeling of being bright for a while.
If there are no accidents, the throne will be born between these two adult princes!
The Xuan Wang Feng Jue that appeared in the sky, although he was extremely favored by Emperor Zongwen, everyone only regarded him as an ordinary prince.
The lack of the maternal family is his hard wound, the said extremely beautiful concubine Niangniang is just a woman from a small family, even if her daughter becomes the emperor's favorite concubine, there is no way to improve the status of her own family, it can be seen that it must be overwhelmed, without a strong maternal family to support him in the court, how can he stand out.
Coupled with his somewhat willful character, he had a romantic reputation not long after he came back, and he once visited the most famous Qinglou in the capital in one day, and connected the most beautiful Oiran into the house, so that Emperor Zongwen was angry and locked up for half a month, and then he didn't see it stop, and from time to time he caused some romantic affairs.
At a young age, he gained a reputation for being amorous and charming, which really made it a pity for those who had seen him for his handsome and demonic handsome face! Such a beautiful young man, and such a noble status, did not even think of enterprising, only thought about the land of smoke and willows, how could it not make people sigh.
The queen pursed her lips secretly with disdain, and gently tapped her fingers on the table a few times to signal to the palace maid standing beside her, and then stood up, and a eunuch and palace maid had already stepped forward to help her leave.
A palace maid who followed her immediately understood, and when the queen took people away, she took two steps forward, jumped out, and said loudly: "The queen has a life, please ask the following ladies to go to Xiayun Hall to see you." As he spoke, he took out a list from his bosom and reported the names of more than a dozen women.
Among them is Mo Xue Tong.
How can she be in the queen's list, Mo Xuetong looked up in amazement, but caught the smug smile on Mo Xuemin's face beside her, her brows were slightly frowned, and she secretly felt that something was wrong, she didn't participate in this banquet in her previous life, and she didn't know what happened at the banquet, looking at the dozen or so women walking out of the surroundings, but they were all the kind that were far away from the queen's seat like herself.
The seats in the palace are arranged strictly according to taste, which shows that the official positions of these women's fathers and ancestors are similar to those of their fathers, and there are no daughters of officials of the third rank or above.
"Miss Mo San, is it, please go with the slave maid to see the queen mother. She was not allowed to think too much, and a palace maid came over and saluted her respectfully.
No matter how doubtful she was, she could only get up and walk with the palace maid at this time.
Xiayun Hall is not the queen's palace, Mo Xuetong only vaguely remembers that there are no concubines living in it, the queen was obviously at the banquet just now, even if she wants to see someone, she only needs to see here, why do you want to go to Xiayunxia? Although I heard that such a banquet will also be used by the princes, but looking at the situation just now, none of the women who were provoked were the daughters of powerful people.
The identity of the prince is placed there, even if it is a concubine, she will not pick all low-grade women.
Besides, with the dignity of the queen, just to choose a few side concubines and concubines for the prince, how could she have the heart to pay attention to it.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his mind, and Mo Xue's pupils couldn't help but bite her lower lip.
As the emperor's wife, she must have both virtue and appearance, and she must have the belly of the harem for the emperor, and the queen has no heirs, so she needs to show this kind of belly, and it is also the reason for the emperor to look at the concubines, but she will never let the backward concubines steal her limelight and threaten her status, so she will choose some daughters of families who are not very wealthy.
If this is the case, the queen's behavior is really reasonable, the father's rank is five grades, he is not a high-ranking official, the harem is a reflection of the previous dynasty, there is no family power, even if she is favored in the palace, how can the queen care about a few powerless concubines.
No wonder before, there were rumors outside that the prince chose a concubine, it should be under this name, although the queen entered the sixth palace, but she was not the biological mother of any prince, the eldest prince
If your guess is correct, you will inevitably encounter Emperor Zongwen in the Xiayun Palace.
If Emperor Zongwen takes a fancy to him, and his family has no power and power, he can only rely on the queen, and he will inevitably become a pawn for the queen to compete for profit.
No wonder Mo Xuemin's smile was so proud just now, Mo Xuetong could even sense the corners of her lips, if she really entered the palace and became someone else's pawn, it would only be Mofu that would be achieved, Mo Xuemin would rise because of her own water, and then try her best to straighten Aunt Fang, when the time comes, it will be difficult for her hands to stretch out of the deep palace, and she can only watch the mother and daughter as proud as in their previous lives.
She would never allow that to happen.
The clear eyes looked at a bush on the side of the road, gritted his teeth, saw that the people around him didn't notice him, raised his leg and stepped on the edge of his skirt, if this foot stepped on, he would stagger and fall to the bushes, she would definitely fall very embarrassed, or she might be injured, but only in this way could she save herself.
"Where did this young lady come from? A gentle voice came from the side, and several palace maids appeared at the fork in the road, among which stood a beauty in her twenties and thirties, whose plain dress could not hide her noble atmosphere, Tingting stood there, with a little indifference in the dust, but her eyes fell on Mo Xuetong very gently.
Mo Xuetong's outstretched foot quietly retracted.
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. "There was already a palace maid saluting, and everyone followed the palace maid to rise and fall.
It turned out that this was the eldest princess, Mo Xuetong secretly wondered in her heart, the eldest princess in her imagination should be gorgeous and sharp, instead of giving people an indifferent appearance now, as if she was in another gentle space, where there was not a trace of dust, and it could be seen from her warm and smiling eyes that she was a very peaceful and gentle person.
It's completely different from what I perceived in my previous life!
In the last life, the son of the eldest princess's nurse was beheaded because of the Yuncheng satin case! Then the eldest princess did not give up and investigated again, and finally found out that it was a branch of the Fuguo Gong who was accused, and the purpose was to pull the eldest princess into the water and force her to go to Emperor Zongwen to intercede......
After the eldest princess knew the inside story, she confronted the Fuguo Mansion, and then a series of things happened, all of which had the shadow of the eldest princess, and the fall of the Fuguo Mansion directly caused the death of Mo Xuetong, so in Mo Xuetong's heart, the appearance of the eldest princess was fierce and noble, and the eldest princess in front of her was completely different from what she imagined, whether the eldest princess in this life had changed, or was the original appearance of the eldest princess like this!
But no matter what, Mo Xuetong knew that this was her chance to escape!
took two steps forward, walked to the eldest princess and bowed down: "Courtiers Mo Xue Tong see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
She didn't want the eldest princess to take her away, but at least it could be delayed for a while, and the eldest princess would not say that to her for no reason, the last time she sent out Mo Lan, she also wrote the mastermind of Yuncheng Satin's sain on it, I believe that the eldest princess will definitely solve the case quickly according to these, her brother will not die, and she will not face up to her grandfather's family.
"You are Mo Xuetong, get up, your mother, but Luo Xia from the Fuguo Mansion?" the eldest princess narrowed her eyes slightly, and said gently and tactfully.
"It's the mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess knows the mother?" Mo Xuetong stood up straight, lowered her hand and smiled respectfully.
"Your mother is younger than me, I didn't expect that she would be gone before me, leaving you as a child......" The eldest princess's voice was a little sad.
She and Luo Xia are only one year apart, they have known each other since they were children, and they are relatively close, like sisters, and it is also strange that the relationship between the eldest princess of Mingzhu and the eldest princess Yunruo, who was born to the queen mother, is not good, but she is in love with Luo Xia, and the two wedding days are also on the same day, but after getting married, the two good sisters go their separate ways.
Now that we meet again, the old man is gone, only the clear eyes of the girl in front of him reveal a faint sadness.
"Princess, the queen asked these young ladies to go to the Xiayun Palace to see them. Seeing that the eldest princess was pulling Mo Xuetong to speak, and she couldn't walk for a while, the leading palace maid said stiffly.
"What is the queen looking for these young ladies?" The eldest princess seemed to have just discovered that she was blocking the way of others at this time, and her gaze shifted from Mo Xuetong to the others.
"Niangniang likes these young ladies Yuxue cute, so I see them in private. How dare the palace maid say that the emperor wants to see her, so she had to answer in a roundabout way.
"Then leave this one, I have a lot of fate with this Miss Mo San, after meeting the old man. The eldest princess waved her hand casually, motioning for the others to leave.
"Princess......" the palace maid hesitated.
"What's the matter, I'll leave the daughter of the old man to talk to, but will I dislike the queen?" The eldest princess's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the palace maid scrutinically, with a smile on the corner of her lips, but this smile was a little cold.
"The slave didn't dare. The words were serious, and the palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down.
"Tell the queen, just say that I took the person away, I have been in love with Miss Luo since childhood, her daughter is my niece, the queen will not object. After the eldest princess finished speaking, she smiled at the corners of her eyebrows, beckoned to Mo Xuetong, motioned for her to go over, and then turned to the other side of the road.
Mo Xuetong immediately followed obediently.
The palace maid who was kneeling on the road saw the eldest princess walking away, so she stood up, looked at the remaining dozen women, and helplessly took people to the Xiayun Palace.
