Chapter 50: The Scourge

Mu Qiqi felt that the conversation between her and Zhao Mo did not have a very good relationship.

and Zhao Heng too, she and Zhao Heng are just the side of the side that picked up jade pendants during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mu Qiqi couldn't figure it out and didn't want to, his eyes swept over several princes, and the princes who enjoyed the chrysanthemum banquet today have all arrived.

She also got a general understanding.

Zhao Yan is not good at sight and has great ambitions, and at a glance, he knows that he is a person with a deep city, so he can stand in the position of seizing the heir.

Zhao Qian seemed to be a humble gentleman, but the moment she looked at Mu Qiqi just now, Mu Qiqi knew from it that this person was not simple.

Everyone thought that the crown prince Zhao Mo, who was about to die of illness, was actually the one who was the deepest in the city, that is, he was terminally ill and played with everyone in the palm of his hand.

Zhao Yu is ambitious, but his ability is insufficient, and his ability cannot support his ambition.

The most reassuring may only be Zhao Heng and Zhao Lin, Zhao Heng has no ambition in his eyes, he is not greedy for this imperial power and wealth, he only knows how to eat, drink and be an idle prince.

And Zhao Lin is the son of a criminal concubine, the emperor does not want to see him, and he does not support his mother's family.

Therefore, when the ministers stood in line, he was the first to be excluded.

Mu Qiqi analyzed all these people in his heart, and unconsciously passed the three rounds of drinking.

The dancing queen also went down, and she heard Queen Yun say in a voice.

"Today is a chrysanthemum feast, and it's a little boring to keep going like this."

Emperor Yuan nodded when he heard Empress Yun's words, and he knew what the meaning of today's chrysanthemum feast was.

"Then according to the queen's meaning, what does the queen think, it is better to talk about it!"

Although the relationship between the emperor and the queen is not very good, this superficial effort still has to be done.

The ministers also knew the meaning of today's chrysanthemum feast, and when they heard the words of the emperor and the queen, all the ladies knew what was going to happen next.

Empress Yun smiled when she heard Emperor Yuan's words.

"What Your Majesty said, since it is a chrysanthemum feast, it is not good to sweep everyone's interest, why don't you let the young ladies show off their talents?"

"In this way, it is good for Your Majesty to select talents for the future of Daliang, we are old, and it will always be the world of young people in the future."

Queen Yun's words were very decent, and she had already talked about the selection of talents.

Even if Emperor Yuan didn't agree, he had to agree.

Emperor Yuan felt that what Queen Yun said later was good, and the world still had to be handed over to young people after all.

"The queen is right, so let's do it, whoever comes out on the spot to show his skills, no matter what, I will be rewarded!"

Emperor Yuan's voice fell, and the young talent and the housekeeper lady were eager to try.

Emperor Yuan's words fell, and a son-in-law stood up.

"Your Majesty, since it is a chrysanthemum feast, then Weichen will make a picture of chrysanthemum!"

Emperor Yuan nodded when he heard this, and Gonggong Li ordered someone to prepare the pen, inkstone, paper and ink, and the boy walked to the middle of the banquet and began to paint.

Everyone waited quietly, and after a while, the boy stopped writing, and a eunuch showed everyone the picture he had drawn.

It was an orange and yellow peony chrysanthemum, the flowers were painted vividly, and two sentences of the temple were inscribed on the side.

Emperor Yuan praised it and rewarded some things, and the boy went down.

There is a beginning, and several sons in the next follow to show their talents.

Or a sword, or a poem.

There were already several on the man's side, but there was no movement on the woman's side, so Queen Yun said loudly.

"How can it be that just men, our Da Liang women are also versatile, aren't they shy."

Queen Yun smiled and quipped, and then a woman in a long scarlet dress grew.

"Since Niangniang said so, the courtier had no choice but to sacrifice her ugliness."

Mu Qiqi looked at the girl who spoke, but she was a rare beauty.

Mu Qiqi noticed the position she was sitting in, which was the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This woman looks absolutely beautiful, Mu Qiqi recalled the news she got these days, the first beauty in the capital, Nie Shuang!

Nie Shuang is the only concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only beautiful, but also versatile, the name of this first beauty is indeed worthy of its name.

I saw that Queen Yun nodded when she heard Nie Shuang's words, and Nie Shuang ordered someone to fetch her piano.

After a while, someone took the piano and put it in the middle of the banquet, and Nie Shuang walked up to the stage.

Every word and deed, every action is full of everyone's style, Mu Qiqi said in his heart that he is indeed worthy of being the first beauty in the capital of the prime minister's mansion.

The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and Nie Shuang is his only daughter, and Nie Shuang's words and deeds represent the prime minister's mansion.

Nie Shuang washed his hands and burned incense, then sat down and slowly plucked the strings, and the pleasant sound of the piano flowed from between Nie Shuang's fingers.

Everyone listened quietly, it was a very beautiful song.

Mu Qiqi also felt that Miss Nie's piano playing was really good.

That's naturally good, Nie Shuang, as the first beauty in the capital, is the best at playing the piano.

After the song, everyone in the audience applauded and praised.

I only heard Queen Yun speak.

"This prince has reached the age of marriage, I don't know if the prince has a favorite girl?"

"This palace looks at this Miss Nie is a good one!"

In the middle of the banquet, Nie Shuang immediately knelt down when he heard Queen Yun's words.

"The courtiers are terrified!"

Many people listened quietly with bated breath when they heard the queen's voice, wanting to hear how Zhao Mo answered.

Zhao Mo is the son of the first queen, how can Queen Yun really push a prime minister's mansion in front of the prince.

Although everyone turned their heads to each other, their ears were pricked up.

I only heard Zhao Mo say unhurriedly.

"The queen mother laughed, these four emperor brothers and the fifth emperor brother are older, and the fourth emperor brother and the fifth emperor brother have not yet married, how can the sons and daughters go before the two imperial brothers."

Zhao Mo's words were very gentle and polite, and Queen Yun still had a decent smile on the corner of her mouth when she heard this.

"How can this be the same, as the crown prince, you naturally want to start a family as soon as possible, and they all say that if you start a family, you can part ways with your father and emperor when you become a family."

Empress Yun also glanced at Emperor Yuan as she spoke, and everyone heard the mockery in the queen's words.

Who doesn't know that the crown prince Zhao Mo is seriously ill and will die soon, but the queen is saying so now, this is not mocking anything.

Zhao Mo smiled mildly as if he hadn't heard what Queen Yun meant.

"What the queen mother said, no one knows the body and bones of the son, and now the body of the son, he will not harm other girls."

Zhao Mo directly said that he had never left the house since the assassination of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is only today that people have seen him.

Zhao Mo and Queen Yun said one by one, and no one paid attention to Nie Shuang for a while.

Nie Shuang said out loud when he heard Zhao Mo's words.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, it is the courtiers who are not worthy of His Royal Highness."

Nie Shuang's words successfully attracted the attention of Empress Yun and Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan waved his hand, and Nie Shuang got up and retreated.

Queen Yun sneered in her heart when she heard Zhao Mo's words, she was just talking casually, and she really thought that she wanted to match Nie Shuang and Zhao Mo together.

Empress Yun retracted her thoughts, and her gaze inadvertently swept over the location of the Taifu Mansion.

"This palace heard that the dance skills of the Taifu concubine are unparalleled, I don't know if this palace is lucky enough to be able to see it."

When Queen Yun said this, her eyes kept staring at Zhao Mo, and Zhao Mo was as immobile as a mountain, but Queen Yun didn't know what she thought in her heart.

Lin Zhilan was shocked when she heard Queen Yun's words, and then glanced at her parents.

Mrs. Lin nodded helplessly at her, and Mrs. Lin also patted the back of her hand.

Lin Zhilan stood up and said.

"It is an honor for the courtiers to be appreciated by the mother!"

Lin Zhilan said and went to change her clothes, Lin Zhilan slowly walked to the banquet, and then there was music.

Lin Zhilan danced with the music, Lin Zhilan's dance was very good, and every movement was extremely skillful.

The two most famous talented women in the capital are Lin Zhilan and Nie Shuang.

Nie Shuang is the piano, and Lin Zhilan is the dance.

But Mu Qiqi didn't watch Lin Zhilan's dance, but was figuring out the queen's intentions.

Queen Yun had also talked about Zhao Mo and Nie Shuang before, but now she suddenly asked Lin Zhilan to get up and dance.

Lin Zhilan is the daughter of Taifu, and Taifu is the prince's mentor, and her intention to do this has to make people think about it.

Mu Qiqi thought of this and glanced at Queen Yun, who withdrew her gaze on Zhao Mo.

looked at Lin Zhilan with satisfaction, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Queen Yun's heart at this time is indeed that the more she looks at Lin Zhilan, the more she likes it, Lin Zhilan is the daughter of the Taifu.

It's that Mrs. Lin is such a daughter, wouldn't it be a good thing to make Lin Zhilan and her son Zhao Yu a pair.

Although Taifu is the prince's mentor, everyone knows that the prince's life is short, and I believe that Taifu will not put his chips on Zhao Mo's body.

So Zhao Yu married Lin Zhilan, then Taifu's Mansion and Huaiwang's Mansion were tied together, and Taifu couldn't help but drag Zhao Mo to death.

Doing so can not only win over the Taifu Mansion, but also give Zhao Mo a heavy blow.

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

Her original plan was to be Prime Minister Nie Cheng, but Nie Cheng didn't show any show to her several times, so she gave up the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now I have a suitable candidate.

Lin Zhilan didn't know that she had been calculated by Queen Yun, and Mu Qiqi looked at Queen Yun's gaze and guessed that Queen Yun might use the Lin Mansion to attack Zhao Mo.

As for how to do it, she didn't know yet.

Also guessed were Mrs. Lin and Zhao Mo, both of whom had an intuition that Queen Yun might not let Zhao Mo go so easily this time.

Zhao Jinse watched Lin Zhilan dance with relish, she was a typical talentless and virtuous, so naturally she would not compare these piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with them.

On the other side, Xiao Jin looked at Lin Zhilan stupidly, and a pair of eyes almost fell.

Everyone's thoughts were different, and after Lin Zhilan finished dancing, she knelt down and saluted respectfully, and then respectfully withdrew.

After Lin Zhilan retreated, everyone heard a crying voice coming from the entrance of the banquet.

"Auntie, aunt, you can call the shots for Chan'er!"

Before the sound came, Mu Qiqi knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice, and she dared to love Yun Chan who came to her to settle accounts when she woke up in a coma.

Mu Qiqi heard Yun Chan's voice, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, she was still wondering why Yun Chan hadn't come yet when this banquet was almost over!
