Chapter 34: Congratulatory Gifts
"It's a bronze mirror. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "The people present were almost unanimous.
In the box was an ordinary bronze mirror, and the traces of the mirror were enough to show that the mirror was not new.
"It can't be King Jing's use." There was a whisper in the temple.
Ling Tianxu suddenly accumulated a dark cloud.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly rounded the field: "Can King Jing's congratulatory gift be bad?" Don't take it yet. ”
The inner supervisor hurriedly closed the lid and put away the congratulatory gift.
Ling Tianxu's face was pale, the hall was silent, and the people present didn't even dare to come out.
The good Halloween night banquet has become like this, and many relatives and nobles are secretly speculating whether King Jing is deliberately finding fault.
"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; The mirror is a treasure in the world, both valuable and priceless, depending on how its owner sees it. ”
Xiao Mo's words broke the silence, and when he raised his eyes, the eyes of everyone present all looked at him, some were surprised, and some were disdainful.
Whether the scheming King Jing made a gift of the bronze mirror was really this intention, Xiao Mo couldn't determine, saying that these were just to ease the atmosphere for the time being.
"Xiao Huwei said very much, now the owner of this mirror is Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, and this bronze mirror has naturally become a priceless treasure."
It was An Guifei who echoed and answered, An Guifei has frequently shown favor recently, but Xiao Mo just responded politely and did not respond too much.
Xiao Mo wanted to draw a clear line with these harem people, and now Concubine Li and the Queen Mother have become a big trouble, and it is not a good thing to be with Concubine An, after all, the women in the harem will turn their faces when they say that they will turn their faces.
Under the explanation of Xiao Mo and An Guifei, the turmoil caused by this congratulatory gift cleared and the banquet continued.
Xiao Mo quietly enjoyed the singing and dancing, not noticing that Concubine Li had walked in front of her, and the palace maid Miao'e behind her brought a glass of wine.
"Your Majesty, what Escort Xiao said was very good, otherwise everyone present would misunderstand King Jing, so the concubine wants to give Escort Xiao a drink."
Concubine Li was willing to take the initiative to ease the relationship with Xiao Mo, and Ling Tianxu was naturally willing, so he agreed without thinking about it.
Xiao Mo looked at Concubine Li, who was smiling, I don't know what her heart is, in the high walls of this deep palace, there are more people hiding knives in their smiles, and they are even more apprehensive about wine.
On such an occasion, it is difficult to refuse, so it is better to be careful.
Xiao Mo picked up the wine glass with one hand, covered it with the other, and took the opportunity to submerge the jade jue hanging on her wrist into the wine, she had tried it before, if the jade jue touched the poison, many thin black threads would appear, like cracks.
"Escort Xiao, please." Concubine Li, raise a glass and drink it all.
Yu Jue was not unusual, the wine was non-toxic, and Xiao Mo drank it with peace of mind.
Concubine Li toasted herself, Xiao Mo seemed to be out of the limelight in the eyes of everyone, and both relatives and concubines cast concerned glances at her from time to time, which made Xiao Mo very uncomfortable, and found a gap and left quietly.
It's freezing outside, the north wind is cold, and the winter in Yan seems to be no different from that in Qi......
"Sister, cold." Qu Duyu pouted and stretched out his little hand to her.
She leaned over, reached out and gently scraped the tip of her sister's nose, and said dotingly: "Where is cold, it is clearly lazy." ”
In the cold night, he picked up Qu Quanyu and walked in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
"Looks like it's going to snow."
She smiled, and then looked at the pleasure in her arms, and fell asleep on her shoulder......
Xiao Mo came back to his senses and looked to the west, wondering if Concubine Xiao and Duan Yu were okay.
"Woo...... That's my ......."
The girl's cry pierced the silence around her.
Xiao Mo looked for the cry, and several palace maids carried palace lamps in front, and when they got closer, they saw two children arguing about something.
The boy seemed to be ...... The eldest prince Ling Qi.
"You go away."
Ling Qi pushed the girl, the girl fell to the ground, crying into tears, and the palace maids around not only ignored it, but even snickered.
Xiao Mo walked over quickly, picked up the girl, patted the dust off her body, and said with concern: "How is it, did you fall?" ”
Ling Qi was frightened when he saw the hideous mask: "Ghost...... Hell ...... "just pull your legs and run."
"Slow down, prince." The palace maid hurriedly chased after her.
Only Xiao Mo and the girl were left here.
The little girl wiped her tears, looked at Xiao Mo blankly, and reached out to touch Xiao Mo's mask.
"You're not afraid?"
The girl shook her head: "Don't be afraid, brother, who are you?"
"Me? I am the one sent by Heaven to protect you. Xiao Mo pointed to the sky and smiled slightly.
"Brother, are you an immortal? Aunt Su said that all the people living in the sky are immortals. ”
"You say yes, but who are you?"
"My name is Ziyi."
Xiao Mo looked at the girl named Ziyi in front of him, and always had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, maybe he missed it too much.
"Where do you live? My brother will send you back. ”
Ziyi shook her head.
Seeing that her clothes were thin, Xiao Mo touched her little hand, it was cold, it should be frozen, and there was no one to ask around her.
"Shall you go with my brother first?"
"Okay." Ziyi nodded obediently.
Xiao Mo wanted to pick up Ziyi, but it was obviously difficult, and now she was extremely thin, so she had no choice but to lead her back to Ziqing Palace.
A charcoal fire was burned in the side hall, which warmed up a lot.
"Brother, do you live here?"
Xiao Mo smiled: "Yes, what about you, where do you live, even if you don't know the road, you have to remember the name, right?" ”
Ziyi shook her head again: "I don't know what it's called there, but it's far away." ”
"What about your mother? Your mother will be worried if you sneak out. ”
Ziyi lowered her head: "I don't have a mother." ”
After playing with Ziyi for a while, he heard the sound outside, it should be Ling Tianxu who was back, and it was expected that Xiao Liu should know the origin of this girl.
led Ziyi out of the side hall, and before Xiao Mo could speak, Ziyi saw the figure in the hall and shouted: "Uncle Huang." ”
Xiao Mo looked at Ziyi in surprise, she is also a relative of the emperor?
Ling Tianxu was also unexpected: "Ziyi, why are you here?" ”
"My brother brought me here." Ziyi smiled and looked at Xiao Mo.
Ling Tianxu approached and said, "This is an uncle, not an elder brother. ”
"She likes to call it whatever she wants, and she cares about doing so much." Xiao Mo said lightly.
"How could Ziyi be with you?"
"She was lost, and she couldn't tell where she lived, and it was cold outside, so I had to bring her back."
Ling Tianxu instructed: "Little Liu, send the county lord back, and ask the people of Qingzhu Xuan to take good care of the county lord." ”
"Huh." Xiao Liu responded, "The county lord, please." ”
Ziyi walked a few steps, turned around and looked at Xiao Mo reluctantly, Xiao Mo smiled slightly: "It's late today, tomorrow my brother will go to play with you?" ”
Ziyi smiled and nodded, and then she was willing to let Xiaoliu lead away.
Xiao Mo looked at the departing little figure, staring at it, it was too similar......
"Like Ziyi?"
A smile appeared on Xiao Mo's lips.
"Ziyi is the daughter of my brother King Ping, when she was still in the womb of the princess, King Ping died of an emergency, and the princess died of dystocia when she gave birth to her, Ziyi has no father and mother, and has been raised in the palace since childhood, if you like it, let her follow you in the future?"
Ling Tianxu's little caution could still be hidden from her? If this errand is accepted, it means that she will not be able to leave the Yan Kingdom for a while.
"A guard raising the county lord, what are you kidding?" Xiao Mo squinted at him.
"If you want, you don't have to be a guard, you can be a ......"
Xiao Mo's face sank, unwilling to listen to what he wanted, and walked towards the side hall without looking back.
She didn't know what Ling Tianxu was thinking, it was common sense for the fatherless and motherless county lord to be adopted as a princess by the emperor, and it was natural for her to be taken care of by the concubine.
"You can be her mother." After Ling Tianxu finished speaking, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.
Although the voice was weak, Xiao Mo, who had not yet gone far, could hear it clearly, and quickly stepped into the side hall and closed the door.
The deception and betrayal of the previous life, and even the final extermination, have already made this heart full of holes and ruthless...... Frozen......
