Leling stood at the gate of the East Palace in plain clothes with an expressionless face, looking at the entire palace full of red lights and colorful silk, and everywhere was full of festive atmosphere.

This palace really needs some happy events to add some joy, otherwise in this season of depression, I am afraid that there will be no atmosphere in the New Year in the near future.

Le Ling didn't walk out of the gate of the East Palace, just stood there and looked at the smile on the faces of the palace maids and eunuchs in a daze.

Time flies so fast, a few months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ming Xuan has been away from her for several months. But why is it that it has only been a few months, but she seems to have passed a few years. Without Mingxuan's favor around him, he didn't like anything as much as he used to. Especially recently, because she has been staying in the Buddhist hall recently, Ming Yun has rarely come to her. She knew that although Mingyun said that she didn't hate her and would protect her, she knew that Mingyun still hated her in her heart.

She didn't resent Mingyun at all, because at this time she also resented her own naivety. If it weren't for her, she and Mingyun would still be the crown princess and little prince that everyone envies. Mingyun also didn't have to come into contact with responsibilities that didn't belong to him too early. Seeing that she is still a child, but she has to be as mature and stable as an adult, she will feel distressed for Mingyun. But she couldn't help Mingyun at all.

She is not a good wife, but a failed mother. Because she not only killed Ming Xuan, who loved her the most, but also caused Ming Yun to lose his father at such a young age, and used his thin shoulders to provoke the responsibility that should belong to Ming Xuan.

She hates herself for being so incompetent, and hates her current self even more, if there is an afterlife, she hopes to see Mingxuan again and marry him again, but she will definitely not be half-hearted, she will only be Mingxuan's wife wholeheartedly, calculate everything for him, and let him do what he likes the most. As for the obvious, she only wished that she wouldn't let herself meet him in the afterlife. Otherwise, she didn't know what she would do to retaliate obviously!

"Mother, it's cold, you have to dress warmly." Hongxing walked up to Leling and draped a snow-white cloak sewn from ferret fur over her shoulders.

"Thank you, Hongxing. Now he is the only one who really cares about me. Reaching out and grabbing the cloak, Leling said bitterly. People only see the new people laughing, and the old people crying and a few people smelling it. It has only been a few months since Ming Xuan's death, and the palace began to put up lights for Ming Tao to do happy events.

She knew that all this was normal, the emperor was not only Mingxuan's father, he also had other sons to worry about. Ming Tao is twenty-one years old after the New Year, and when Ming Xuan is twenty-one years old, Ming Yun can already walk. She didn't have any reason to stop Ming Tao from marrying. It's just that she still feels sad when she thinks that people outside have forgotten the sadness of Ming Xuan's death and are laughing for Ming Tao's marriage.

"Niangniang really didn't go to King Yan's wedding?" Hong Xing stood behind Le Ling and asked cautiously. Niangniang, as the sister-in-law of King Yan, should attend King Yan's wedding no matter what, but she didn't step out of the East Palace once. What made her most strange was that neither the emperor nor the imperial grandson thought of asking Niangniang to attend King Yan's wedding.

"No, remember to wait for someone to send me the gift I prepared." Without looking back, Leling said to Hongxing. It's full of happy people, and she's not a sad person there. It's not good to go.

"Niangniang mean that pair of golden phoenix hairpins? Isn't that my mother's favorite thing? Hongxing looked at Leling in surprise, hoping that she would change her mind.

"I won't need it anymore, so it's better to give it away." Without looking back, Leling showed a bitter smile. Compared with Ming Tao's concession to the throne, a pair of little phoenixes is nothing. As long as Ming Tao can always guard the north of the Holy Dynasty, so that Ming Yun can be a worry-free emperor, she doesn't care about anything.

"Yes, sis!" Knowing that Leling's mind had been decided, Hong Xing no longer dissuaded her. In her opinion, although the crown prince Mingxuan has passed away, Leling is still young, and the days ahead are still very long, she can't always be so depressed, even for the sake of the imperial grandson, she should let herself recover as soon as possible.

Ay! Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Mingxuan, are you okay over there? Ever feel cold? Mingyun is still young, I can't accompany you yet, you must wait for me, as long as Mingyun can stand on his own, I will go to you. Looking into the distance, Leling thought bitterly.

"Hongxing, let's go back!" This place has nothing to do with her, and the Buddha Hall will be her final destination in the future.

"Yes, sis!" Looking at Leling, whose heart was like ashes, Hongxing followed behind Leling and had no choice but to leave.

Mu Yunqiao's heart was still pounding until he sat in the new house. It's really scary to walk this way, it seems very simple to see Xiaoyun and her eldest brother getting married and worshipping the church that day, why is she flustered when she comes to the church, and she almost doesn't know where to put her hands and feet. Fortunately, she has always followed Xi Niang by her side, reminding her what to do from time to time, otherwise she will have to make mistakes.

"Xia Ying, who else is in the room now?" Sitting on the happy bed with a hijab, Mu Yunqiao couldn't see anything, and he couldn't hear any sound outside, so he couldn't help but whisper to the maid who followed him.

"Back to Niangniang, this person is just Xia Ying and a few sisters brought by the family." Xia Ying blessed Mu Yunqiao and said respectfully. Although she has been with the eldest lady for nearly a month recently, she is still very respectful to Mu Yunqiao and does not dare to relax for a while, and wants her to get along with Mu Yunqiao like the eldest grandmother, she is afraid that she will never be able to do it. She also knew that the eldest lady was a little disappointed in her, but even if the eldest lady smiled and spoke, she would be frightened, afraid that she would do something wrong or say the wrong thing and be punished by the eldest lady.

"That's good, let's everyone take a break!" Beating the back of his neck with his hand, Mu Yunqiao said. The phoenix crown on the head is very beautiful, but it is too heavy. Along the way, her head was almost flattened, if she hadn't waited for Ming Tao to pick up the red hijab, she would have taken down the phoenix crown a long time ago. It's such a short time, when did Ming Tao leave?

"Niangniang, this ......" Xia Ying looked at Mu Yunqiao in embarrassment. This is the palace, in case they are seen sitting aside and resting, I am afraid that everyone will say that the Mu family has no tutor.

"What is this, this is a new house, except for Ming Tao, I mean no one will come in from King Yan." Lying down on the bed, Mu Yunqiao didn't care. Although it is uncomfortable to lie down, it can put the phoenix crown on her head on the chuang, and she will be much easier. Now that everyone is busy outside, how can they have time to take care of them here. I feel tired after sitting in a sedan chair for so long, not to mention that these people use it to go. Must be more tired than her.

"Slave, thank you!" Listening to Mu Yunqiao's words, the six maids smiled happily and each found a place to sit down and rest. They were also tired on this day. They were glad to have a rare opportunity to rest.

It's just that not long after everyone sat down, there was a knock at the door, and the six maids quickly put the chairs back in place, and one of the maids walked over and opened the door, looking at Ming Tao, who appeared at the door with a tray full of food in his hand.

Mu Yunqiao naturally heard the knock on the door, and tried to sit down with the phoenix crown, waiting for the person who knocked on the door to leave.

"Lord Wang!" Seeing Ming Tao, the maid let go of her body, let Ming Tao enter the door, and saluted Ming Tao.

"Yun Qiao is not hungry, I heard last time that Xiaoyun was hungry for a day, so I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I took advantage of the morning banquet to send you something to eat." Ming Tao said as he placed the tray on the table. At the same time, he looked at Mu Yunqiao carefully, afraid that she would be uncomfortable but refused to tell him.

"I ......" Mu Yunqiao wanted to say that I wasn't hungry, but thinking of Ming Tao's thoughts, she could only nod. It's just that she just clicked it, and she felt a heavy weight on the top of her head, and couldn't help but say to Ming Tao: "Can you take off this red hijab first, the phoenix crown on my head is too heavy, I don't feel comfortable."

"Of course that's fine." Ming Tao walked to Mu Yunqiao's side with a smile, and reached out to remove the mandarin duck playing in the water on the top of Mu Yunqiao's head. He had long wanted to see what Mu Yunqiao looked like now. Mu Yunqiao's words were exactly what he wanted.

When Mu Yunqiao's red hijab was removed by Ming Tao, he revealed a beautiful and shy face. Looking at Mu Yunqiao like this, Ming Tao's heart kept stirring. He found that he had fallen in love with Mu Yunqiao again.

Dressed in red wedding clothes and red coral jewelry, Mu Yunqiao's fair face is even fairer and lovely. If it weren't for the wrong time, he really wanted to stay in the room and go directly to Mu Yunqiao.

Ming Tao tried to regain his composure, and said to Mu Yunqiao: "Eat something when you're hungry, I have to go out to accompany the guests, and I will definitely come back to accompany you in the evening."

"I see! Remember not to drink too much alcohol. Looking up at Ming Tao, Mu Yunqiao said with a smile. She saw Ming Tao's reaction just now, and she was very happy about Ming Tao's reaction.

"Don't worry, I will never let go of today's good day." Ming Tao looked at Mu Yunqiao's smile, and was obsessed for a moment, and after he quickly reacted, he whispered in Mu Yunqiao's ear.

"Hmm!" Hearing Ming Tao's seductive words in his beautiful voice, Mu Yunqiao couldn't help but bow his head and remain silent. This Ming Tao is too bold, you must know that there are still six dowry maids in this room!

"Hahaha......" Looking at Mu Yunqiao's shy expression, Ming Tao laughed happily. He reached out and patted Mu Yunqiao's hand and left the room. There are still a lot of people out there waiting to drink with him! But just now, Mu Yunqiao said that he should drink less. What does this mean for him? Ming Tao thought all the way, and it wasn't until he walked to the front hall that Ming Tao saw Chang Xiao and had an idea, and walked straight to Chang Xiao.

Of course, Chang Xiao alone can't stop everyone from toasting, so he not only wears Chang Xiao by his side, but even the three Chang Sheng brothers who are sitting next to Chang Xiao have not escaped Ming Tao's eyes.

Chang Xiao and the others, who were sitting there waiting for an opportunity to get drunk with Ming Tao, were very disappointed and made Ming Tao's shield.

With the four Chang Xiao brothers, Ming Tao felt a little more relaxed, but he still turned his head to look for other targets, ready to change people at any time when the Chang brothers ran out of alcohol. And his latest target is, of course, Shu Li, who is sitting with the Yin family. With Shuli's internal strength, no matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk. Shu Li nodded in agreement, but he still had to accompany Yin Xinlian, so although he agreed to Ming Tao's request, he would not come forward until the four Chang Xiao brothers had drunk down.

Regarding Shu Li's request, Ming Tao naturally agreed. He was not afraid that Shu Li would regret it later, because after Shu Li knew that Ming Tao already had his own fief, he offered to be a military advisor to Ming Tao. Of course, his military advisor is not the kind of military advisor who works with Ming Tao all day long to try to strengthen Ming Tao's strength, but a nominal military advisor who helps Ming Tao when he is in danger.

Despite this, Ming Tao is still very happy, you must know that Shu Li is not only strong in martial arts, but also a master of formation, and he still has a lot of strength among the people. Behind him is Yin Xinlian's father, the biggest backer. It can be said that with Shu Li's help, he is like a tiger with wings, and the Great Sage can rest easy in the north.

But those are all afterthoughts, what he needs most now is not to get rid of those external conditions, but his own deep internal skills to help him block wine. After all, today is the night of candles in his cave room, and there is only one day in his life, and he doesn't want to miss the best day because he is drunk.
