Chapter 42: Chinese New Year's Eve
In the past, she and her mother would always be invited to the palace for a banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Qu family was not a royal family, but they could celebrate the festival with their relatives and nobles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The palace banquet is set up in the Xuan'an Hall of the harem, and it is still presided over by Concubine An.
Jiang Li had already thrown himself into Ling Tianxu, thinking that Ling Tianxu's attitude towards An Guifei should change greatly, but Xiao Mo could see that Ling Tianxu had only changed from cold to polite towards Jiang Zhi, and he was only occasionally concerned about Ling Qi, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Jiang Zhi's current situation is much better than Concubine Li, just like in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Concubine An Guifei is not favored, but Concubine Li's status is declining, and this change looks very abnormal.
Where did the Holy Grace go? The relatives and nobles who had speculated privately all set their eyes on Xiao Mo beside Ling Tianxu.
A guard has taken away the favor of the mother, can it be a broken sleeve?
The Queen Mother also seemed to notice the strangeness in the eyes of the relatives and nobles, and glanced at Xiao Mo, he used to be bold and reckless to instigate Ling Tianxu to fight against King Jing, but now he has reined in, but he made such a joke, which made the royal Tianwei damaged, not a scourge.
Xiao Mo looked around, and the first seat on the right, which was obviously different from the other positions, was vacant, and King Jing had not arrived.
The last time Xuan Ge saw him, he hadn't seen him again, Ling Tianxu said that he wouldn't let Xiao Mo wander around the palace alone, for fear that King Jing would poison Xiao Mo, especially after knowing that she had a draw with King Jing that day, he would never let Xiao Mo leave his line of sight.
Xiao Mo recalled the white-clothed figure, and only remembered that he looked indifferent, liked to be quiet and leisurely, and acted decisively and resolutely.
"King Jing to ......"
There was a chant outside the hall, and the dance in the hall stopped.
Just now, there were still relatives and nobles who were talking and laughing, and they held their breath, and there were few who were calm, and the most ugly face was Concubine Li.
Concubine Li smashed King Jing's beloved warm jade last time, which can be said to have pushed the whole family to the cusp, King Jing himself didn't say anything, and he didn't need to say anything, the ministers around him who saw the wind and made the rudder would help.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's intercession, Concubine Li's father's official position was almost lost, and finally he became a member of the Ministry of Officials from the Ministry of Officials, and the matter would have been settled.
See you again, the goal is no longer white-clothed Shengxue.
He took off his cloak in front of the door and moved inside, the hall was bright, and under countless palace lights, Ling Hao's purple and gold python robe was shining, and his hair was tied with a golden crown.
With his hand in front of him, with a jade wrench on his thumb, he approached slowly.
The delicate facial features are still as cold as a layer of frost, and they are not angry and arrogant.
Ling Hao stood in the hall and arched his hand: "Minister, see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother." ”
"King Jing is exempt." The Queen Mother greeted politely.
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Ling Tianxu's expression was not gloomy, but it was not pleasant.
Ling Hao's gaze never looked at Ling Tianxu from beginning to end, but glanced at Xiao Mo behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
Ling Hao sat down, and the atmosphere in the hall became restrained, and the relatives and nobles turned the wine conversation into whispers.
Xiao Mo looked at the purple-clothed figure and seemed to be extremely lonely, and then looked at the other relatives and nobles, and gradually understood the reason.
"Why don't you see Princess Jing?" Xiao Mo asked Xiao Liu, even King Wen came with the princess, and it seems that only King Jing is alone among the royal relatives here.
"King Jingfu, there is no princess."
Xiao Mo was a little surprised, after all, even Ling Tianxu had a lot of concubines, and King Jing was still ......
Seeing Xiao Mo's surprised look, Xiao Liu leaned in and added: "King Jing is not close to women. ”
Xiao Mo looked at the silent drinker, only feeling unpredictable, but he couldn't see the slightest treacherous and insidious.
When the feast was over, King Jing was the first to leave, and it could be seen that he seemed to dislike such an occasion, although he was late, but still came, does this mean that this person will compromise in some cases?
On the way back to Ziqing Hall with Ling Tianxu, Xiao Mo found that Xiao Liu did not follow, and Ling Tianxu did not sit down, insisting on accompanying Xiao Mo back to Ziqing Palace.
"I haven't seen Ziyi in a few days, is she okay?"
"I have ordered the inner government to pay more attention, I am often not in the palace, and I don't know that the servants neglect to take care of me."
Xiao Mo smiled: "Your uncle can be so good to Ziyi, why is he incompatible with his uncle?" ”
"There are more brothers who have turned against each other for the throne, not to mention uncles and nephews." Ling Tianxu said lightly.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, the path was quiet, only the footsteps of the two could be heard, Xiao Mo looked back, and the palace maids and inner eunuchs behind him were gone.
The atmosphere was a little weird......
Warmth came from the palm of his hand, Xiao Mo was stunned, his hand was already held by him.
Xiao Mo wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held it tightly, and the more Xiao Mo wanted to shake it off, the harder he clenched it.
"It's time to go." Xiao Mo said eagerly.
Ling Tianxu simply pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
"You're crazy, don't you think the rumors are not troublesome enough? Loosen! ”
"The palace has always been a place of right and wrong, didn't you say it, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Ling Tianxu! Don't you know what it means to be intimate between a man and a woman? ”
Ling Tianxu didn't care, he smiled and said gently: "I know, it's not the first time, you forgot ...... last time"
"Say no more!" Xiao Mo said coldly, interrupting him.
When he first came to Yan Kingdom, he became a high-ranking monarch with several concubines, and she thought that he was no longer Ling Xu who only talked and laughed with her, so she was indifferent to everything.
He said that he had never summoned any concubines, she didn't believe it, but the furnishings in the side hall were indeed new, she was indeed the first person to stay in the side hall, and since he came to Yan Kingdom, in addition to listening to her words and taking care of Jiang Zhi, he didn't pay attention to any of the concubines, he knew that Concubine Li offended King Jing because he was looking for Xiao Mo's stubble and mistakenly ruined King Jing's chess, he acquiesced to Ling Hao's disposal of officials for the first time.
When the power fell, he was helpless and resentful, but he still laughed and talked to her.
In his eyes, it seemed that she was the only one.
In this life, she has no family background and no national appearance, and he is not using her, nor is he repetitive.
She was afraid, afraid that one day she would recognize him and recognize that he was still the person she never forgot, she was afraid that she would be touched by his sincerity and fall into deep feelings.
He can't give up Yan for her, and she can't give up hatred for him.
Knowing that separation, love is a word, or forgetting, or hurting......
"So, speaking of the other, remember the first time we met?"
Xiao Mo sighed heavily: "What are you doing with this." ”
"I didn't expect there to be such a smart woman as you in the people." Ling Tianxu was indignant, he passed by the court, and heard that a woman could speak skillfully, and every word did not deviate from the law of Qi State, the law is the weight of a country, he was even a little jealous, jealous that even a woman in Qi Kingdom knew the law well, and he couldn't help but come forward to watch. Her wisdom made him have a hint of admiration for a woman from Qi State, and took the initiative to think of a way to help her get rid of her crime as soon as possible.
He has a harem of 3,000, and he has traveled the world to read countless women, only she dares to be cold-faced, only she is cold and arrogant, not bound by the world, as if she is independent from the world.
rode horses and rivers with her, experienced difficulties together, and she used blood into medicine to save him in the moment of life and death.
He was injured, she was in a hurry to drive away Concubine Li, looking at Concubine Li's angry appearance, he was inexplicably happy.
Such a woman, how not to fall in love.
Ling Tianxu let go of Xiao Mo and reached out to take off her mask, the sky was dark and she couldn't see her face clearly, only to see her eyes like stars under the moon.
He curled his fingers to prop up her chin and involuntarily bent his head down.
Xiao Mo was suddenly flustered, and when the face was about to get closer, he pushed him away violently, snatched the mask from his hand, put it on, and walked away quickly, leaving him alone in the cold night.
Although Ling Tianxu regretted it, he was not annoyed, just now he heard her heart beating fast, so impulsive, not shy, stay in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.
