Chapter 148: Going to the Banquet (1)
Mo Shaoli dared to take the risk of meeting Song Ke in the Imperial Forest Garden, and on the condition of freedom, she promised Old Lady Mo to take Mo Shaoqi and others of the Wu family to the lotus banquet, also because she had heard Lu Zhu say it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The slave maid saw King Xu stop Miss Du on the street today...... I didn't expect King Xu to have such a cold temperament, and he was very patient with Miss Du......" Lu Zhu didn't know how to say this once.
During these days, there were constant rumors in the palace that the emperor was going to choose concubines for the princes. Mo Shaoli listened a lot, and it was inevitable that he would recall the marriages of several princes in his previous life. Song Heng was the worst, and he was killed by Song Ke before he got married. Song Tian was no better, when Song Yuan died, he was not yet old enough to become a parent. Song Min and Song Qi......
The sense of existence of the two of them has always been slightly weak, and in the previous life, Mo Shaoli lived in Lixiangyuan, and the news was closed. At this time, she couldn't remember who their princesses were, and what interested her the most was the marriage between Song Ke and Du Ruoheng.
In Mo Shaoli's view, whether in the past life or the present life, all signs show that the combination of Song Ke and Du Ruoheng is a pure combination of political interests.
Song Ke's intention to marry Du Ruoheng is easy to guess, it is nothing more than wanting to get the support of the Du family in the future.
Du Xing covered the sky with one hand in the court, and Du Ruoheng was Du Xing's favorite young daughter. Song Ke can win Du Ruoheng, which means that he has been recognized by Du Xing, and it also means that he has won the trump card of winning the crown prince.
That's why he is so concerned about Du Ruoheng.
And Duchenne's purpose is a little difficult to guess...... But if Mo Shaoli's intuition is correct, his ambition should be greater than he imagined...... It's bigger than Song Ke thought, right?
Of course, for Duchenne, she is only guessing at the moment.
It was also this time that Song Yuan committed an old illness, and when she asked Cheng Nuo to investigate Du Xing, she inadvertently peeked into some secrets, which made her suspicious that she had never had before.
Regarding this political marriage, Mo Shaoli also thought about whether to destroy it.
After all, after the combination of Xu Wangfu and Du Mansion to form a community of interests, there will be no small threat to Song Heng. Song Ke already had the help of the powerful foreign family An Le Hou Sun family behind him, and if he got the support of the more powerful Yue family Du Mansion. One article, one martial artist, one prince, almost controlled the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Why worry about the dragon position?
However, after careful consideration, Mo Shaoli made a bolder decision. The intention is not only not to destroy, but to take the opportunity to facilitate.
When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses.
Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan is not only a historical record, but also a realistic conspiracy.
Song Yuan was most taboo about collusion between ministers and princes. At present, Song Yuan is relying on Song Ke, and it is good to trust Du Xing, but what if Song Ke and Du Xing get together?
Probably...... Maybe...... No emperor can tolerate someone who is so strong as to threaten his imperial power!
The Xu Du Alliance looks beautiful, but maybe in the end, it will become a thorn in Song Yuan's heart and a nail in his eye......
Thinking of this, Mo Shaoli smiled slightly, and then relieved.
Song Ke has long passed the age of getting married, but now he has not gotten Du Ruoheng in his hands. Sun Guifei was afraid that she was already in a hurry, so this lotus banquet would be held to release the news of choosing a princess for Song Ke.
It seems that Song Ke should put most of his energy on Du Ruoheng at the lotus banquet, himself...... Be careful and avoid him.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Mo really attached great importance to this lotus banquet, and it was not enough to summon several granddaughters to Jiashan Hall for two days of training. On the evening of the first day, she asked everyone to come and took out the jewelry at the bottom of the box to distribute to everyone: "...... Ming'er is dressed up well, don't lose the face of Mofu in front of the concubine! ”
Mo Shaoli sat upright with a smile and didn't speak, but she felt some sympathy for Old Lady Mo in her heart.
Whether she can enter the gate of the Royal Forest Garden tomorrow is still in the middle of nowhere, and she has already begun to worry about the image of the Mo family! With the current status of the Mo Mansion, I am afraid that even if I can enter the Royal Forest Garden, I will not be able to reach Sun Guifei...... I'm afraid that the old lady's jewelry will be blind!
Of course, because of well-known reasons, Mrs. Mo did not give Mo Shaoli jewelry, and said to her in a semantic pun: "Seven girls, you have a lot of good things in your hands, grandmother's broken copper and iron, you are afraid that you will not be able to look down on it!" ”
Mo Shaoli smiled and did not answer.
Although Mrs. Mo was very dissatisfied with Mo Shaoli's monopoly on Fengyi Yuan's property, she inevitably had high hopes for herself, the most outstanding-looking granddaughter, and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said: "You are not allowed to be so plain tomorrow, go back to Fengyi Garden and pick out some good ones in the warehouse and put them on!" ”
Most of the good things in Fengyi Garden were given by the emperor and the queen mother, and they didn't wear them, and they hadn't even seen them...... Therefore, when Mo Shaoqi and the others heard Mrs. Mo say this, the jealousy in their eyes couldn't help but rise, and their eyes became unkind when they looked at Mo Shaoli.
Xue Shi watched from the side, and he was a little worried about Mo Shaoli.
After dispersing from Jiashan Hall, the Xue family deliberately went to Fengyi Garden: "Seven girls, the place in the Royal Forest Garden...... Be careful yourself. Inside the Palace...... It's not as good as it looks. ”
She didn't know what Mo Shaoli was thinking, although she was worried about her heart, her words were not too obvious.
Mo Shaoli knew that she was really good to herself, and what she said was heartfelt, so she hurriedly agreed: "I have written down all the words of the third aunt." ”
Xue nodded, looking at her delicate little face, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
The longer this girl grows, the more she looks like her mother, and I don't know what the future will be......
I hope that the seven girls can also meet a lover like their own Wan'er, and her amazing face will not be in vain! After Xue and Mo Shaoli finished speaking, they sighed and returned to Qiuhua Courtyard.
The lotus banquet held by Empress Xian and Empress Li when they were alive is very similar to a modern drinking party, mainly used to connect and deepen the relationship between the harem and the official family. Most of the invitees are the family members of the ministers of the DPRK and China, with the ladies and wives as the main guests, and the ladies and girls usually come to play, enjoy the lotus and watch the scenery and join in the fun, and do not invite male guests.
This year's lotus feast is a little different from previous years. First, this is the first time that Sun Guifei has organized a lotus banquet, and she is determined to make it unique and different; Second, when she applied to Song Yuan to hold a lotus banquet, she was under the guise of choosing concubines for the princes.
Therefore, in this lotus banquet, the ladies and girls became the main invitees, and the ladies and ladies fell into the accompanying guests. Because she felt that there were only a few princes, and there were too few male guests, Sun Guifei sent invitations to the princes of the middle families in the capital, and invited them to accompany the princes.
Speaking of the sons of the family, the third son of Zhenguo Gong Shen is of course the first one in the capital, so although Sun Guifei was reluctant, she had to send the invitation to the Zhenguo Mansion. However, when Aze took the invitation to Shen Ce, Shen Ce didn't read it.
"I'm not available!"
Aze could only silently throw away the invitation.
