The garden where Mo Xuelan Gao's family is located has been a little cold recently, and there are fewer minions who come to shoot horses, which really makes the masters and servants in Xiangwu Garden extremely unaccustomed.

Mo Xuelan heard the news from the maid quietly, saying that Mo Mingzhu had got another box of good treasures from Long Ehou, and she was jealous in her heart. "I used to look away, but I thought she was a toad, but I didn't expect to be a fox! If you get the chance, hook up with three or four! ”

Gao Shi glanced at Mo Xuelan coldly. "Those who have achieved great things should be calm and pay attention to your words and deeds!"

Mo Xuelan restrained a little bit at this time, so as not to let people see it badly.

"Mother, we can't let Mo Mingzhu be so proud anymore, otherwise sooner or later, this Mo Mansion will have to obey her command, where will we talk at that time, seeing that my father and grandmother are more and more fond of her......"

"Humph!" Gao Sheng snorted coldly, "The milk stink has not dried, how can she fight with me!" ”

Mo Xuelan was about to ask the Gao family if there was any good way to save the situation, so she heard the maid come into the house and whispered-"Madam, Aunt Zhou has come to see you." ”

Aunt Zhou came in the door, saluted respectfully to the Gao family, and said unhurriedly: "I have done what Madame asked me to do, what else does Madame have to say, I will do my best to share Madame's worries......"

Gao said with a smile: "You have done a good job these days, continue to do things with me well, and I won't be able to lose your benefits when the time comes." ”

Others only said that Aunt Zhou did not participate in the dispute, but they did not know that Aunt Zhou was the military master beside the Gao family.

Aunt Zhou answered, Mo Xuelan was secretly surprised, she didn't even know that Aunt Zhou was her mother's person. After Aunt Zhou left, Mo Xuelan suddenly thought of a good idea: "Mother, do you remember that Mo Mingzhu made a fool of herself at your grandmother's birthday banquet two years ago?" "Mo Mingzhu gave tea to her grandmother, stepped on her skirt in public and fell with a blue nose and swollen face, this year, heh, let's be sharp with her again, and see how proud she is!"

When the time comes, she will make a fool of herself in public, and she will be the son of the king and grandson at the annual banquet, even if the Marquis of Long Ehou is a little interesting to her, she will dislike it.

Gao said: "It's not impossible, it's just that you can't be involved." ”

"Yes, Mother." After thinking about it, Mo Xuelan finally came up with a brilliant idea. Mo Xiaoman, Gao Yue, Xu Xinrou, these three people, but they hate Mo Mingzhu to the bone, just a little provocation, the three of them will definitely rack their brains to put Mo Mingzhu to death......

*

Mo Mingzhu excused himself from illness and did not go to the New Year's banquet, but he didn't want to go to the New Year's banquet three days before the New Year's banquet.

"The queen has a will, Mo Mingzhu must participate in the Dragon New Year Banquet, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of disrespect, Mo Mingzhu, do you understand?"

"Mingzhu understood."

"Then take Yi's order......" The father-in-law snorted in his throat, glanced at Mo Mingzhu arrogantly, and swaggered away.

Mo Mingzhu was not angry with the queen Yizhi. The queen is the adopted daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, and I am afraid that this edict has nothing to do with the Gao Mansion.

"Sister Mingzhu, Sister Mingzhu!"

I haven't heard this voice for a long time, Mo Mingzhu looked up. Mo Xingchu wore a dazzling black animal hair piping cloak, and ran into the purple garden with a smile on his face, his pair of cloud boots creaked in the snow, and his eyes hung on Mo Mingzhu. This young man seems to have grown taller again, his Adam's apple is becoming more and more distinct, his throat is much thicker, and he has more of the taste of a mature man.

"Wake up, you're back."

"Hmm!"

Mo Xingchu nodded heavily, and the light reflected by Bai Xue illuminated his face more and more white and tender, which really made Mo Mingzhu hate to pinch it.

Mo Xingchu has been studying at Long'e Academy, his academic performance is excellent, and the teachers of Long'e Academy are very fond of him, so he is specially invited to compile a historical chronology in the academy to broaden his horizons. That's right, that's when I went home.

The sister and brother had been gone for almost two months, and they walked into the house to roast the fire while chatting.

"Sister Mingzhu, you've changed, I almost don't recognize you anymore! You, you're really awake now...... The best-looking woman I've ever seen when I woke up......" lowered her voice.

"I almost don't recognize you, and lo and behold, we're all about to grow into men when we wake up." Mo Mingzhu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared last time, and packed it in a splendid box, "Take it and give it to you as a New Year's gift." ”

Mo Xingchu curled his mouth. "Why did the eldest sister give it to me now, it's not the New Year yet."

Mo Mingzhu smiled and didn't speak. She planned to leave the Mo Mansion as much as possible, and she always felt uneasy to live here, although it was calm now, and her grandmother and father took good care of her. However, she did not have this kind of care before, and she knew what it meant to lose it. It's not that she doesn't believe in the old lady's affection for her, but that everything in this mansion is easy to change.

It's good to give the gift to Mo Xingchu as soon as possible, Mo Xingchu is busy assisting the teacher in compiling books in the academy, and it is difficult to see people.

Mo Xingchuhuan took the gift and left, Mo Mingzhu sent him out of the Purple Garden, and when he came back, he saw a little boy in a red cotton jacket playing in the snow under the plum blossom forest in the distance.

"Miss, don't you know each other? That was the third young master born to Aunt Zhou, Mo Lingjun. ”

Only then did Mo Mingzhu recognize that this was her third brother, Mo Lingjun. Mo Lingjun's hands were covered with frostbite, but he didn't know that he was holding a snowman as if he was cold, and it was not accurate to say that it was a snowman, because he didn't make a human shape.

"Third brother, your hand is frostbitten, hurry up and go back to the house with the eldest sister to warm up." Mo Mingzhu saw that the boy was chubby, and his love was overflowing for a while.

Mo Lingjun stared at Mo Mingzhu in horror, very scared, before Mo Mingzhu's hand touched him, Mo Lingjun ran away, the posture of running away was crooked, not like a normal person, and it looked very clumsy.

Yun Tao sighed: "The third young master is pitiful, a high fever burned people stupidly three years ago." ”

Mo Mingzhu pondered deeply about the messy snowman on the ground.

"Miss, I think Aunt Zhou is actually very hard, three years ago in the winter, my son burned stupidly, and my daughter also died of a strange disease, alas, it's really unlucky......"

Mo Mingzhu stopped, she couldn't remember clearly, what happened on that day three years ago. "The day when the third sister Mo Xiaolin disappeared three years ago, was it the day when Mo Lingjun burned stupidly?"

"Hmm...... It seems that it is only a day or two, and I also heard Granny Mo unintentionally mention it, it seems to be so ......" Yun Tao said.

Mo Mingzhu looked back at the trail of footprints left in the plum blossom forest, and his heart froze. How can there be such a coincidence? Isn't it......

Is it because she thinks too badly of people's hearts, or is it really so sinister?

If there is anyone in this mansion who has the ability and courage to harm the concubine, it must be the Gao family.

"Miss, what are you, why are you sneering like this?" Yun Tao was a little afraid of Mo Mingzhu's smile, which suddenly appeared, and it was unpredictable.

Mo Mingzhu smiled brightly and pinched the round face of the girl. "It's nothing, I just want to ...... The fox's tail can't be hidden, sooner or later, Miss, I have to pull her out and chop it! ”

High, Clan!

Yun Tao blinked, didn't understand, and then happily helped Mo Mingzhu to dress up for the New Year's banquet three days later, but Mo Mingzhu didn't care, and sat there fiddling with the dusty broken guqin sent by Long Erhou.

Yun Tao muttered in a low voice: "Long Ehou is also here, so big mouths, those big men, so they brought a broken piano to ......"

**

The day of the annual banquet of Long'e Academy is the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and the monarch of Chuxiang State, a country in the south, will also come to Daqi, so that the emperor will invite foreign guests to the banquet and the annual banquet of Long'e Academy together, so that people from other countries can also see the demeanor of the grandson of the king of Daqi!

Mo Mingzhu entered the palace once because of her divorce, and had a relationship with the emperor, only that time she saw that the uncle was not the benevolent and mellow person rumored by the people, because ...... The smile and posture in his speech and demeanor really looked like Gao's contrived appearance.

Can it be a good person?

Just by treating his younger brother King Chen, the god of war, Mo Mingzhu felt that this king was completely inhumane!

Don't go far, back to today's New Year's banquet.

When I woke up in the morning, it was half a day of fine snow, which was sprinkled softly, but fortunately it was not too cold. This annual banquet was combined with the banquet of foreign guests, and it was selected in the first hall of the palace.

The banquet was in the evening, but the courtiers, kings and grandsons who came to participate came early, Mo Mingzhu was a courtier, and she was the lowest status among all the people who participated today, and the rest were either vassal ministers or princes and princesses, of course she had to come early. The courtiers and courtiers who can participate are the children of officials above the second rank, and those below the second rank are not eligible.

In the past, Mo Mingzhu had a bad reputation because of her appearance, so she rarely participated in social activities between women, and she didn't know many people, if she insisted on saying that she had participated in any public appearances, it was at the old grandmother's birthday banquet. That birthday banquet was very large, and the Gao family invited almost all the celebrities and relatives in Chang'an. However, that time, Mo Mingzhu lost face in front of the noblewoman and son of Chang'an!

When she was giving her grandmother's birthday, she tripped and fell, and because she was too fat, she fell down the stone steps and rolled a, and her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, which caused the whole house to laugh, and it was unbearable to look back...... It was also since then that her ugly and unpopular reputation spread like lightning and thunder among the nobles of Chang'an, and then gradually flocked to the people.

"Uncle De, just wait here, this is the palace, and it is inconvenient for you to enter and accompany you." Mo Xuelan commanded Uncle De and the servants who escorted the three young ladies nobly and gracefully.

Uncle De answered and stepped back. Mo Xuelan was familiar with this kind of occasion, and looked at Mo Mingzhu quite smugly, and her eyes were already laughing at her for not seeing the world.

Mo Mingzhu also smiled back. Mo Xiaoman was wearing a beautiful Liuxian dress, dressed up extremely delicately, followed Mo Xuelan's side, and plucked Mo Mingzhu with a pair of eyes from time to time.

Mo Mingzhu didn't pay attention to her hostility, thinking that it must be the Gao family that blew some wind in Mo Xiaoman's ears again, making her think that Aunt Liu's death had something to do with her Mo Mingzhu. Mo Xiaoman is really a poor worm, his mother was used to death, and she has to saddle the horse for the enemy. What is this called, must there be something hateful about the wretched?

The palace is magnificent! Mo Mingzhu was shocked at the door of the hall-

Nine bronze gold-plated dragons hovering in the front courtyard, mighty and domineering without losing exquisiteness. Listening to the conversation of the courtiers next to her, she said that two hundred years ago, the Marquis of Long E's friendship with the Emperor of Great Qi testified, which has been placed here since then, and has not faded after two hundred years of baptism.

"Dragon, eh, Hou ......" Mo Mingzhu murmured in a low voice. That dragon marquis should be the heroic man she and Han Shen saw in the underground palace. It's a pity that the hero is sleeping in such obscurity. However, although he has been asleep for a long time, more than two hundred years have passed, there are still traces left by him everywhere, which shows how amazing the Dragon Marquis was back then.

If she hadn't stood there with Han Shen that day, she would definitely have regarded the man in the ice jade coffin as Han Shen. It's so much like that.
