90. The duel between Xuelan and Mingzhu (I)
Mo Mingzhu didn't dare to stay longer, but as soon as she got up and wanted to leave, she found that the sleeping man was holding her sleeve tightly. Mo Mingzhu finally pulled out his sleeves and walked out of the Allure Palace with light footsteps.
Looking back at the tomb-like dead and deserted palace, and then thinking about the poor hero, Mo Mingzhu felt a faint pain in his heart. I want to help him, but she is just a courtier, what can she do?
In this society, "rights" and "status" are really very important things.
In the evening, the palace lights up everywhere, the huge palace lights are not inferior to the brightness of the day, the lanterns of the warped corner palace reflect the flowers, birds, insects and fish, tassel jewels, illuminating everywhere is more colorful, like the crystal palace.
In the magnificent Cangluan Palace, everyone is already seated.
When Mo Mingzhu came, Mo Dingyuan, Mo Xuelan, and Mo Xiaoman were already seated, her position was above Mo Xuelan, the second one below Mo Dingyuan, and the next one was the position of the eldest son Mo Zhengze. Mo Zheng is the eldest son of the Gao family, the same age as Mo Mingzhu, and is the companion and ally of the crown prince Xiao Jingren. Now it is estimated that the prince and the prince are somewhere, and they do not appear.
The atmosphere was generally harmonious, but Mo Mingzhu, as an insider of the daytime dispute, could see the faint heaviness on the faces of some people. Mo Mingzhu was a little worried about Jiang Wanruo, if she knew that the child was gone, what a blow it would be to the supple woman.
After Mo Mingzhu sat down, Mo Dingyuan came over and whispered softly with concern: "Mingzhu, I have wronged you today." Daddy has already reprimanded Xiaoman, and Xue Lan also said that she knew her mistakes, fortunately you are clever today, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"Daddy, it's nothing that Mingzhu has been wronged, it's just ......" Mo Mingzhu glanced at Mo Xuelan, "I'm afraid some things are not just because I have been wronged!" When the time comes, if the disaster affects the family, I am afraid that no one will be able to control the scene. Some people, that heart is too black! ”
Mo Dingyuan looked at Mo Mingzhu's eyes, Mo Xuelan's face was white, she was busy not hearing it, and she secretly tore her handkerchief under her sleeve and was worried in her heart. Her mother is still under house arrest, and her grandmother, who used to like her, is now very indifferent to her and has turned to favor Mo Mingzhu, and in Mo Mansion, their mother and daughter's status is already in jeopardy. This time the design asked Xiao Jingqin to kill her own child, which was also her helpless move, since the sixth princess married him and conceived his child, Xiao Jingqin seemed to be less and less interested in her affairs!
"What to do, Daddy knows." Mo Dingyuan stared at Mo Xuelan and Mo Xiaoman, and snorted heavily. Mo Xiaoman trembled like chaff, and didn't dare to think about what kind of punishment he would receive when he returned to the house after the banquet, whether it was a house-to-house law and a ruler to discipline and beat, or...... Eviction? The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
When that happened, Mo Dingyuan was talking to the emperor in front of the emperor, and when he heard the servant come to tell him that the sixth princess had been misconceived, and the daughter of the Mo family was still involved, he was sweating on the spot. Whatever happens to Mingzhu is indispensable to the mixing of Gao's mother and daughter! Mo Dingyuan wanted to be deceived by the Gao family for so many years, and the resentment in his heart was unbearable! This time, you can't let Gao go lightly.
As he was talking, there was a white-haired man with a solemn complexion - Zhen Guogong, Gao Zhanhong.
He wore a majestic broad-shouldered duke's robe, as imposing as he had been when he was young many years ago. Gao Zhanhong once served in the army and beheaded thousands of people empty-handed, although he had been in the literature for many years due to injuries, his anger became stronger with the growth of years, and he felt fierce at a glance.
Gao Zhanhong found Mo Dingyuan's location and walked over, Mo Xuelan immediately wiped her tears with red eyes when she saw her grandfather coming, and looked at it pitifully.
Gao Zhanhong snorted heavily: "Mo Dingyuan, you are really capable." Won the battle outside, and went home to beat his wife and daughter! My daughter, what are you going to do! ”
Mo Dingyuan saw that it was his father-in-law with a fierce face, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance in his heart: "Father-in-law, how to deal with my own family rules in Mofu." If Huixian is pure in heart, I will not treat her badly. ”
"I ask when you're going to release her! My daughter didn't marry you under house arrest! Gao Zhanhong said politely.
Mo Dingyuan is kind, and he didn't resist the inconvenience of the occasion.
Mo Mingzhu couldn't listen to it from the sidelines. "How about Lord Guogong move to my Mo Mansion to live?"
"This princess is a town and a national prince, what are you doing in Mofu?" How can there be a reason for the father-in-law to move to his daughter-in-law's house.
"Then what are you doing with such a wide range?"
Gao Zhanhong was speechless, and then he glanced at the girl Mo Mingzhu who answered the call, and squinted his eyes with contempt on his face. It's the first time someone dares to contradict him in such a crowd! Is this woman the one who made his baby daughter and granddaughter suffer?
Mo Mingzhu was not afraid of his looking and threatening eyes, and turned his head to look back. A contest of eyes, each of them did not let go, Mo Dingyuan pinched the sweat in his heart, Gao Guogong is a person who even has to give three points of face.
……
After the courtiers and courtiers sat down, the royal family gradually appeared, and the status appeared from low to high, in turn, in an orderly manner, obviously according to a strict hierarchy, and anyone who trespassed was a capital crime!
Mo Mingzhu first saw Xiao Qiongyu, and then the six princes who appeared with the princes, and as soon as he appeared, he found Mo Xuelan's location in the crowd at a glance.
Mo Mingzhu snorted coldly in his heart: This Xiao Jingqin is really shameless! Your wife was pregnant for you for ten months, because you lost a child, and now she is lying in bed and dying, you are good, and you are still worried about the fairy beauty here.
Mo Mingzhu secretly decided in his heart that he would definitely pull the kind but weak Sixth Emperor Princess.
"Brother Sanhuang, if my father sees you sitting here with your left and right hugging, I'm afraid he will be unhappy......"
"Oh, my woman, why not hug it......"
The latter's voice was arrogant and uninhibited, as if he didn't care about anything. Mo Mingzhu raised his eyes and saw Xiao Jingqin, the sixth prince, talking to the man in fancy clothes who followed in front of him, and there was a bewitching beauty waiting for him on the left and right of the man, and when he turned around, Mo Mingzhu was startled!
Actually, it's Xiao Jingling, who hasn't been seen for many days! His whole temperament and demeanor have changed a lot, he is romantic, squirming, and has a bit of a decadent taste.
Xiao Jingling also saw her, but she didn't care about it, hugged the beauty on the left and kissed her. The beauty pretended to excuse herself: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, don't bother, if you let your fierce fiancée see it, I'm afraid our sisters won't have a good life in the future......" said and glanced at Mo Mingzhu.
Xiao Jingling glanced at Mo Mingzhu and said contemptuously: "You are mistaken, that fierce ugly monster has long been dumped by me, and now the fiancée of this hall is that fairy Xuelan, who is several times more beautiful than you......"
Mo Xuelan's face was blue and white.
The emperor accompanied the emperor of the southern country to appear at the end, and the honor guard was followed by hundreds of people, with bright yellow canopies, peacock feather fans, and extraordinary jewels. Mo Mingzhu was also the first time to see such a magnificent royal pomp, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that so many women were bleeding in order to earn the position of the princess.
The royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom even came to those little-known county kings, but they didn't see the real hero King Chen. Mo Mingzhu felt more and more sorry for the man whose face was so beautiful that it made people lose his soul. 'The emperor is not a good thing. ’
After a few opening songs, dances, and performances, it was the sons and daughters of Long'e Academy who competed with the princes and courtiers brought by the emperor of Chuxiang in the south, there is no doubt that Xiao Jingling is the first in both civil and military affairs, and everyone dare not say anything, and they all tremble.
Mo Xingchu was not there, and Mo Mingzhu didn't care about others, because Mo Mingzhu was not interested, and he just planned to eat, drink, and see, and then go back to his own house to find his mother.
"It's a pity, the crown prince Jingren is not present, if His Royal Highness the crown prince is here, it will definitely not be the third prince who is the only one." There is humanity next to it.
This is the second time Mo Mingzhu has heard Xiao Jingren's name, the first time is that Xiao Jingling suspects that she is having an affair with the man in black, if the man in black is Xiao Jingren, he will definitely destroy her and take revenge on Yunyun. is really sick, Xiao Jingren is a dignified prince, how can he have anything to do with her, a courtier with a reputation as an ugly girl for sixteen years.
After the civil and military competition, it is a competition of skills, music rhythm and incense making. Obviously, this is a project that Mo Xuelan is good at, a guqin is played smoothly, and a poem is written, which attracts full applause with the lyrics.
"Sure enough, she is worthy of being the first talented woman in Chang'an, she is really extraordinary."
"Yes, no wonder the third prince is so determined to retire Mo Mingzhu's ugly girl, change to Mo Xuelan, and I don't want to be that ugly monster if I change me......"
"It's not, only if you're stupid, you want Mo Mingzhu's ugly bastard......" "The third prince is generous and can bear it, if I want to dump her a long time ago!" That will wait until now......"
Even the emperor of Chu Xiang frequently looked sideways and was greatly admired-
"This is really the most beautiful music this gentleman has ever heard, but unfortunately this girl is already a concubine candidate for the prince of your country, otherwise this gentleman would definitely ask him to go back and be a daughter-in-law."
Xiao Yufeng, the emperor of Great Qi, said with a smile: "There are many women in Great Qi, and the monarch can choose slowly, this Mo Xuelan girl is already the quasi-princess of my third son, and she will only get married after the year." ”
The emperor of Chu Xiang expressed great regret and offered his blessings.
Mo Xuelan listened to those words, as well as Xiao Jingling's amazed gaze, and her vanity was extremely inflated. After being pressed by Mo Mingzhu for so many days, today finally made her Mo Xuelan raise her eyebrows, so Mo Xuelan suddenly made a decision.
"His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress Niangniang, my eldest sister Mingzhu has been studying the piano hard for half a year, and she also plays well. Xue Lanxiang and her sister played a song together, dedicated to His Majesty and Niangniang, as well as ...... Emperor Chu Xiang. ”
When the monarch of Chu Xiang heard that the beauty had an eldest sister, he hurriedly agreed, and only the people of Daqi knew that this time there was going to be a big mess! That stupid and ugly girl, who gave her grandmother a birthday and fell with a blue nose and swollen face, can play the piano? Don't be funny.
Mo Dingyuan scolded in a low voice, "Xue Lan! However, he did not dare to attack on this occasion.
Over there, Xiao Jingling also looked at Mo Mingzhu here, indifferent and onlooker, as if he was mocking. It's just right to let this woman see herself, she is not qualified to refuse him at all, she has no eyes!
Mo Mingzhu glanced at Xiao Jingling, as well as those who watched the show, and his heart was cold. She learned incense, when did she learn the piano? Mo Xuelan deliberately manipulated her and embarrassed her. If she goes, she will be humiliated by her, and if she doesn't go, she will be called cowardly, stupid and useless.
"This palace also wants to hear your sisters' ensemble, Your Majesty xià ......"
The queen took the lead before Mo Dingyuan opened his mouth to refuse.
"Then according to the queen's words, I will be sure."
The queen said again: "Mo Mingzhu, you have to play well, don't live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and the palace, otherwise, Your Majesty will cure you for the crime of polluting the Holy Hearing......" The queen smiled fiercely, and it was difficult to tell whether it was a joke or a threat. This is the cleverness of the harem who is good at fighting women.
Mo Xuelan was proud in her heart, and looked at Mo Mingzhu provocatively.
Seeing Mo Mingzhu get up, Mo Dingyuan called the declaration bead worriedly. "Mingzhu, don't force ......"
Mo Mingzhu nodded lightly.
"Daddy is relieved."
The original Mo Mingzhu didn't know how to play the piano, but he was ridiculed for being ugly, too inferior, and never showed it in front of anyone, and his piano skills were not under Mo Xuelan.
At the New Year's banquet, she deliberately dressed ordinary, deliberately hiding her edge, and didn't want to be in the limelight, but now this situation is ready to fly, and she has to send it!
