Chapter 84
"Uncle don't worry about me, you should be more careful when you enter the palace." Today is the first time after the saint ascended the throne, the first time to put on such a big show, a few years ago the first emperor died, always have to be simple, this year the young emperor can finally be a good lord himself, and this year Prince Bao is rare to return to Beijing, the saint has a good relationship with him, naturally he will not treat him badly at the dinner.
Of course, those who can enter the palace today are either rich or expensive, and those below the prescribed grade are not qualified to participate in the emperor's family banquet at all.
He Shi looked at the acacia smile, and there was no trace of grievance, she sighed in distress in her heart, and put her cloak on her face and said: "It's just a banquet, it should be about the same time as usual, if you are tired and sleepy, you don't have to wait for us, rest early." ”
Acacia well-behaved.
Meng Xintong and Meng Chenxi followed behind He to say goodbye to Acacia, the two wanted to comfort Acacia a few words, but it can be seen that she really didn't feel a trace of sadness, so she also put down and followed her mother into the carriage.
"If only I could stay with the third sister." Meng Chen said lying on the window.
Meng Xintong sat behind her, looked past her and looked at Acacia who was saying goodbye to the He family and said, "Sanniang is probably not sad, but happy." ”
"How so? How many people in Kyoto want to enter the palace today? What's more, we all entered the palace, but left the third sister at home. Meng Chen regrets that he has been sticking to lovesickness these days, and he is thinking about this sister for any benefit.
"Then do you think it's interesting to go to the palace for a banquet?" With the shouting of the coachman in front, the carriage slowly moved forward, and Meng Xintong saw that Acacia was ready to enter.
Meng Chen thought about it, only to feel bored to the point of panic, shook his head honestly at the moment, and even said: "In this way, I envy the third sister." ”
Meng Xintong touched his sister's bun and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Watching the carriage of the eldest aunt and sisters leave the alley, Acacia turned around and prepared to go back to her yard, she remembered that she had not finished reading the book of Shanchun that she read yesterday, and she didn't know what the fate of Xiaochun in the book was...... But at the moment she turned around, a crisp bell came from outside the door, and she immediately went out to look at it for a long time, and she didn't see anyone or any car passing by the door.
"Girl?" Pomegranate was puzzled by her lovesick behavior, and was afraid that it would be bad for her to go out like this, so she stepped forward and helped her back.
"I heard the bell, did you hear it?" Acacia asked the people around him suspiciously.
It's a pity that there are so many people at the door, and she didn't hear it alone.
Acacia walked a few steps into the house, and couldn't help but look out the door, and sure enough, there was nothing.
"It's weird......"
The gate of Ding'anbo Mansion closed slowly, and there was silence around it, not even a single pedestrian passing by. It took another long time before a young man dressed in white came out of the shadows......
"Childe, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to meet the saint in time."
Mo Li didn't seem to hear the persuasion of the little guy next to him, he stared at the door of Ding'anbo for a long time, and then touched the Peiyu on his waist, under which there was a pocket tracing bell hanging like the four corners of his carriage in addition to a section of green ears.
"Childe...... If there's something wrong with you, don't you come back and talk about it? Ersie felt that since he had been serving Mo Fence Gongzi, it was simply heartbreaking.
Mo Liang didn't say a word, took a deep look at the gate of Ding'anbo, turned around and walked away. Lesie had no choice but to follow him quickly, for fear of being left in some market.
The master and servant went out of the alley, and their carriage stopped in an inconspicuous corner, and Mo got into the carriage, and Ersie immediately ordered the carriage to drive to the palace, and then took out the clothes to be worn today from the box.
Mo Li's carriage galloped quickly between the markets, and even rushed to the main gate of the palace, and there was an old eunuch waiting at the door early in the morning, and his neck was stretched out in order to wait for the descendants of the saint to see in person, but who knew that the left would not wait and the right would not come, and he would not wait until the gate was closed, and then he watched the carriage swagger stop in front of him.
The old eunuch was still a little annoyed, but he felt that the descendants of this brave general were too good, but when the carriage door opened, and the young man with yellow plum petals wearing a jade crown came down, the old eunuch couldn't say anything except bow down to greet him.
Similar to the family banquet of this kind of banquet, the country of Da Chen has a convention, often men and women are in a big hall, but the seats are different, and they can't sit in one place, generally the female family sits with the left hand, and the man sits with the right hand, but the two look at each other but can't turn their heads and ears. The whole hall is composed of three platforms, there are steps between it, there is a top but no wall, and they sit on different platforms according to the changes in the height of the grade. The supremacy of imperial power naturally sat at the top of the main hall, and the rest of the princes and vassal kings sat on the platform of the next staircase, and below were some earls and officials who had been honored.
Mo Li didn't have any grade, at most he was an orphan of a general, he stood on the corridor at the bottom of the mountain, looking up at the three brilliantly built platforms, his heart trembled slightly, nervous and excited. Among these people who came tonight, there must be someone who knows the cause of his parents' deaths, and maybe an executioner who caused the destruction of his family, and these will be the mysteries that he will solve one by one with his own hands in the future.
"The son of the Holy Xuan Xiaoyong General Mo Fence is here!"
The voice of the eunuch immediately echoed through the beautifully built palace, as if in response to the call of the voice, a lamp was lit from the top of the main hall, like a fiery dragon circling down to the cloister where the mohedge stood.
"Hurry up, go up and talk back!" The old eunuch who led him was just like finding his own voice, he pushed a mofence and said, "Remember, today is a festive day, don't cry and lose your face." ”
Mo Liang staggered two steps, and didn't look back, but it was difficult for him to show a sincere smile on his face since his mother went, but today is different from the past, if he doesn't smile, if he laughs, it still makes the saint feel hypocritical...... That's a great sin of disrespect.
"Childe! Childe, drink some wine and strengthen your courage! I don't know where Erxi took out a small pot of pear blossoms, he followed Mo Li and poured him a glass and said, "No matter what, don't show your cowardice!" ”
Mo Liang thought about it, and finally when he stepped on the first staircase, he drank the wine glass in Erxi's hand, and a wave of warmth immediately swept through his body. The taste of this kind of wine, Mo Liang has never tasted it, and he always seems to be dissatisfied with a cup of wine, so he drank three glasses in a row before stepping up the ladder.
"Holy Xuan Xiaoyong's son Mo Fence to meet you!!"
Three platforms, each seat is full of a table of dignitaries and nobles, among which there are civil officials and military generals, and there are also Hanmen Zi who won the title step by step by relying on military exploits, as long as the name of the brave general is not a mountain village savage, no one knows who does not know, if there is no general, whether Chen Guo has died now is two different things. As long as everyone present is not the mortal enemy of the brave general, no one can help but mourn, and everyone is amazed and regretful, but more, they still set their eyes on this young man who is about to meet, and they don't know whether he is a good man who is both civil and military like his father, or a mediocre boy without parental discipline.
Mo Fence just needs to go to the top step by step with the eyes of so many people.
"It's such a big formation......" Meng Qizhen sat in the crowd and walked towards the stone steps in the center of the platform, she always felt that the royal family built such a big hall that could not block the wind and rain was a brain problem, every time the royal family set up a banquet, their female dependents had to endure hardships, spring, summer and autumn were fine, and winter was simply unbearable. Fortunately, there are banquets in such a place, most of them are held by the banquet kings, and the weather has warmed up.
"Who is this strange boy?" Shu Wanxuan sat beside her and asked.
"Who knows, I'm not familiar with it, I heard that he has a good relationship with Zhuang Shizi." Meng Qizhen hated such an occasion the most, she turned her head and pushed He Shuyao and said, "I don't know if Acacia will be bored at home alone, it would be good if she could come." ”
"She's young, and she's even more bored when she comes, so it's better to stay at home." He Shuyao was talking, but her eyes looked up, obviously she could only see the lights and figures on the upper floor, but she was still trying to find something.
"That's right, if only I could stay at home." Meng Qizhen yawned very indecently, and people began to look around.
I don't know if it's because she's dazzled, there is a girl who looks very similar to Song Jiali talking to a man under a big tree far away, the light in that place is not good, and Meng Qizhen can't be sure whether it's Song Jiali or not.
"That ......" Meng Qizhen originally wanted to find someone to confirm, but the next moment, someone pulled her over.
"Look! Is that a strange boy? ”
On the road of light, a young man wearing a plain background with plum blossom petals floating on his head, wearing a jade jade crown with spring colors, and some fine bangs blocked part of his eyebrows. He walked lightly, with a graceful gait, his cheeks flushed red, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
The wide sleeves and the hem of the clothes are in contact, under the light, those petals seem to flutter, and the shoulders and sleeves of this beautiful young man continue to fall, watching him float up the stairs, everyone feels that they see a flowing picture, if it were not for the eunuch at the end of the call, it is really like a jade plum spirit suddenly appeared in the evening.
Originally, he recruited Mo Liang into the palace just to praise him for removing the prime minister's chess pieces several times intentionally or unintentionally, but now he is walking on the stairs, and he actually looks so good that the saint has a little more affection and curiosity about the general's orphan.
"Grass Folk Fence...... Knock to see majesty! ”
The wide sleeves spread out the yellow plum petals spread all over the ground, and the young man lay between the petals, looking at how many people's eyes were lost.
