Chapter XII
After half a month, they came to Yuejun, which was not very far from the capital, where they met with the pro-expeditionary army that had returned from Yanming Pass and returned to Beijing together.
This look was calculated, and Mo Yan wanted to ask him how his situation would end if he didn't come back, but when he thought that he was back now, he was stupid!
Originally, the emperor was supposed to take a leather chariot when he went on the expedition, but Duan Li wanted to change it to a more comfortable jade chariot, Mo Yan secretly rolled his eyes, this faint monarch who likes to work hard!
"Come up!" Duan Li said as he looked at her.
Mo Yan, who was standing on the side, was stunned, this was going to ride with her, she instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, "Okay!" So she also got on the jade chariot.
In the Shili Pavilion outside the capital, Prime Minister Zhao Xiujin, Taiwei Qin Xiangzhong and Imperial Historian Yunxiao led hundreds of officials to welcome the victory of the holy car and return to the court.
After everyone saw Duan Li get down from the jade chariot, they turned around to look at the jade chariot, and then they saw a woman in a phoenix robe coming down from the jade chariot, it was the queen Si Moyan, Duan Li waited for her to come down and took her hand, pulled her to the courtiers, and accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials on their knees!
Now everyone knows that after this expedition, Si Moyan has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart, and everyone is also re-evaluating the value of this queen who was not favored by the emperor before.
Mo Yan looked at the reactions of the people below with satisfaction, just to let you know that our Mo Yan will not take a step back in the future, and the people who have calculated themselves should be careful in the future!
Then her eyes swept over King Li's head, she had done him a great favor, but unfortunately she couldn't let him know!
There are hundreds of officials outside the city to greet them, and there are groups of people in the palace who are looking forward to it, of course, what they are looking forward to is not Mo Yan!
As soon as Duan Li and Mo Yan entered the Jinhua Gate, a large group of women with bright makeup came to greet them and saluted the two of them, and after the ceremony, Mo Yan did not say hello to Duan Li, and prepared to go back to his Jinfeng Palace first!
Thinking that Duan Li would be very busy, she didn't have the time to take care of herself, as soon as she walked past the group of women, someone hit her fiercely, she turned to one side out of instinct, and then pushed it with her hand, and the person was pushed to the ground by her!
Mo Yan knew that he was in trouble, and it was in full view of everyone, so he could be said to be speechless!
Falling to the ground was Duan Li's newly promoted Jieyu Fang Qingnuan, who was very favored during this time, and she didn't say why she bumped into Mo Yan, and then was pushed down by Mo Yan, but looked at Duan Li with tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged!
This wordless silence is more powerful than any crying, this is a scene of bullying the concubine in the main room, and the concubine silently endures the drama of not daring to say more!
Such a scene is not unfamiliar to Mo Yan, in the past few years, until her death, such scenes have been staged constantly, and she has been punished by Duan Li in one way or another!
Mo Yan looked at Duan Li silently, waiting for his decision, or punishment!
Duan Li looked at this group of women, and stroked his forehead in his heart, why didn't he find out before that he was not only stupid, but also a womanizer, there were as many as thirty or forty concubines in this harem, didn't he feel annoyed before?
"Fang Jieyu lost her honor in front of the palace, was punished for half a year, and was grounded for a month!" It should be this surname, Duan Li frowned, it has been too long, and many people can't remember it clearly.
Everyone originally wanted to see Mo Yan's jokes, but according to the past developments, it should be the queen's bad luck, and if the queen justifies two more sentences, she will add the crime of knowing her mistakes and not changing them.
But I didn't expect that it would be Fang Jieyu who would be punished in the end! Punishment is still a trivial matter, who knows what will happen in a month in this harem, does the emperor remember that there is Fang Qingnuan in the harem!
It seems that the rumors outside are true, after this campaign, the emperor values the queen a lot!
Mo Yan was also surprised that Duan Li not only did not blame herself, but also treated Fang Jieyu's crimes, she raised her eyes to look at Duan Li, and there was confusion in her eyes!
Fang Jieyu knelt on the ground, just behind her, who pushed her, she would crash into the queen, but the thing had already happened, and she would plan it and plant the blame on the queen's head, but she didn't expect that stealing chickens would not be a mistake!
"The concubine commands!" still didn't say a word of justification, but the grievances in her eyes were even worse, and the resentful eyes were afraid that the people she was watching couldn't bear to punish her, but Duan Li was indifferent.
At this time, the imperial concubine Yu Shuyue took two steps forward and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the concubine saw that Fang Jieyu didn't fall on purpose, on today's happy day, why bother to spoil her interest for her, it's better to spare her this time!"
What she said seemed to be gentle, but she said it every word, saying that Fang Jieyu didn't fall on purpose, how did she fall? Of course, the queen pushed it, but at this time, only Fang Jieyu was punished but not the initiator, and this is too much to say!
In the end, she interceded for Fang Jieyu, which can be regarded as selling her a favor!
Duan Li looked at Yu Shuyue expressionlessly for a long time, and when Yu Shuyue was worried, when she couldn't put on the posture of pleading and saluting, she laughed loudly: "Concubine Ai is reasonable, just do what you say!"
This farce ended like this, Mo Yan watched coldly, obviously she should be the protagonist of this farce, but from beginning to end, she was like a spectator!
Now that the song is over, she should also go back, she took one last look at these women, and Duan Li who was surrounded among the women, she was also one of them before, but she will not be in the future, she turned around and left, without looking back!
As soon as Mo Yan entered her Golden Phoenix Palace, a child ran towards her with surprise on his face, hugged her waist, and said, "Sister Mo Yan, you're back!"
Mo Yan smiled and hugged him: "Come, tell my sister, did you have any naughty mischief in my absence?"
This child is Duan Li's nephew Duan Yun, the child left by Duan Li's eldest brother who died early! Duan Li is very busy every day and has no time to discipline him, Duan Yun is so big that he is free-range, Mo Yan can't look at it, so he took him to the Golden Phoenix Palace and took care of him by himself!
"No! I'm good when you're away!" After speaking, he tried to look at her with his eyes wide open, hoping that Mo Yan could see sincerity in his eyes!
Afraid that Mo Yan still wouldn't believe him, he added, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Moon Shadow!" and then turned his head and winked at Moon Shadow.
Moon Shadow couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, the prince is good, you can rest assured!"
Mo Yan pinched his fleshy little face with his hand, "Really so well-behaved!"
Duan Yun struggled, "Don't pinch my face, if you pinch my ugly, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law!"
"Okay! I thought of marrying a daughter-in-law at such a young age, and I will make your face ugly today, so that you can only marry an ugly daughter-in-law. Mo Yan was in a good mood and laughed at him.
Duan Yun was horrified: "Don't! Don't! I don't want it!"
"Alright, don't scare him, mother!" Moon Shadow laughed.
This time, Duan Yun also knew that she was teasing herself, and shouted that he would never pay attention to Sister Mo Yan in the future!
"When I'm not in the palace, are you all okay?" Mo Yan asked, looking at Moon Shadow.
"Okay! It's just that I'm worried about you!" replied Moon Shadow.
Mo Yan nodded, and then heard Moon Shadow say again: "It's that His Majesty came to the Golden Phoenix Palace to sit for a night the day before the expedition, and asked me if the wine under the pear tree is still there!
Mo Yan lowered his head and said undeniably, "Yes!" But he was wondering in his heart, what was buried under the pear tree was this winter's plum blossom brew, which had not happened to them now, how did he know!
