Chapter 101: The Banquet
"The imperial brother told me to go to the palace with the prince to discuss some things, I may come back later today, if it's late, you can sleep first, don't wait for me."
He wanted to pack his things and go to the palace just now, but Si Qing came back suddenly, which made him change his route, and given that he had also been in such a situation before, Jiang Moxi was waiting for him to come back together, so he said this.
"I know, I'm sure I'm not going to wait for you tonight."
Seeing Jiang Moxi's distracted expression, Mo Guli knew that she definitely didn't listen carefully to what she said, so she shook her head helplessly and didn't say much.
In the evening, Mo Guli really didn't come back for dinner, but he said in advance that Jiang Moxi didn't think about him so much.
After dinner, go to the small garden.
"Si Qing, you don't have to follow me, I'll walk alone."
Jiang Moxi asked Si Qing behind her to go back to her residence to rest, and went to eat alone.
She suddenly felt that there was something boring here.
Just as Jiang Moxi was standing in the small garden distractedly, he suddenly heard a sparse sound in the grass.
Jiang Moxi felt that he looked over.
It was a dog hole, she remembered.
Quietly walked over, only to see a figure slowly squirming in.
Jiang Moxi wanted to scream but was afraid. Hearing that the man asked him to attack him, he quietly pinched a scalpel in his hand, and if the man had bad intentions, he would stab him down.
I saw that it was the familiar black robe of yesterday again.
Jiang Tong crawled out of the dog hole in embarrassment, and bumped into Jiang Moxi who was looking at him vigilantly at a glance.
"I'm not here to stir up trouble today."
Afraid that Jiang Moxi would misunderstand him, Jiang Tong waved his hand to prove his innocence.
"And what are you here for?"
Jiang Moxi's face was calm and waveless, and she said this to Jiang Tong with ease, but the turbulence in her heart was only known to herself, didn't she ask someone to send Jiang Tong outside the capital? Why is it coming here again?
And for what Jiang Tong said just now, she didn't believe it a little, Jiang Tong looked for himself, there was nothing bad to wait, he didn't believe in this evil.
But let's see what tricks she wants to pull up.
Jiang Tong still said.
"Old Man Jiang was killed by me."
Maybe it's because Jiang Tong has lost everything now that he dares to be so outspoken, isn't there that sentence, what are you afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, there is no worse result.
And Jiang Moxi, who heard this, was even more surprised, if it was really Jiang Tong who said this. The person was killed by her, so Jiang Huailin naturally did not have that trace in his hands.
But she still didn't believe it.
I don't understand this kind of thing, what's the use of Jiang Tong telling herself?
"It's true that I killed people, but I don't want to blame you."
That's why Jiang Tong is here today. Although she left from Jiangfu, she still paid attention to today's events.
Old Man Jiang's death should have a lot of repercussions, until he heard that Jiang Moxi was blamed, and then he understood Jiang Huailin's ghost.
"Do you think I'll take your word for it?"
Jiang Moxi's face was calm, maybe these were the two sisters of them, and if they couldn't make a plan, they would just wait to dig a pit and jump by themselves.
"Believe it or not, I've said it anyway."
After saying this, Jiang Tong turned around and prepared to leave the Regent's Mansion from that kennel.
Looking at Jiang Tong's back as he was about to leave, Jiang Moxi didn't know what he had done, and suddenly called people to stop.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Tong turned to look at Jiang Moxi, waiting for her to speak.
In fact, she didn't continue to be hostile to Jiang Moxi, the person who harmed her was Old Man Jiang, and she has now taken revenge.
"Where are you going when you leave here?"
Maybe it was because the night was too gentle, Jiang Moxi actually felt compassion for Jiang Tong for a while.
Here, a disfigured woman is not happy.
"Where can I go? Now that my appearance is ruined, the only place I can go is to go to the temple and become a nun. ”
Jiang Tong laughed with a self-deprecating laugh. He said something like that as if he didn't care.
But who really doesn't care that their appearance is ruined, especially a woman.
Jiang Moxi suddenly remembered that the woman who had saved Mo Guli before had also been destroyed like this.
"I have scar removal cream here, you come with me, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Moxi sighed, but he still couldn't bear to let Jiang Tong be ruined like this.
Compared to Jiang Huailin and Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Tong can be said to be a relatively simple type.
Growing up in an environment like Jiangfu, it is really rare for Jiang Tong not to grow up as a girl like Jiang Huailin.
Besides, if she doesn't go against herself in the future, then she doesn't mind curing Jiang Tong's face at all.
Jiang Tong did not refuse, and silently followed behind her, waiting until Jiang Moxi told her the effect and usage of this scar removal cream. Let Si Qing take her out from the main entrance.
He also gave Jiang Tong a few silver taels to ensure that she would not become a beggar.
"Thank you."
Jiang stopped pausing before leaving, and said this to Jiang Moxi in a low voice.
Jiang Moxi accepted it calmly, and with Jiang Tong's character, he was willing to apologize to her, which was already a rare thing.
In the final analysis, Jiang Tong is also a poor person.
Jiang Tong naturally wanted to thank him. Her situation was not caused by Jiang Moxi.
But she knew that whether it was Jiang Huailin or Mrs. Jiang, if she asked for help from them now, not only would they not help her, but they would fall into the ground, even if they were her relatives, they would not be as good as a Jiang Moxi in the end.
And this trip can be regarded as a wake-up call, what did he fight with Jiang Moxi in the past, he was originally the daughter of the General's Mansion, how could he compare.
Fortunately, she woke up early, otherwise what awaits her in the future will be death without a place to be buried.
And not long after she left, Mo Guli returned.
"Mercy, there's something I want to tell you."
Looking at Mo Guli's excited appearance, Jiang Moxi expressed his willingness to hear about it.
"In a few days is the border festival, there will be every year, this year it is the turn of Zixu to preside over this banquet, it is very grand, and the important envoys of various countries will come over, you go to prepare these days, the clothes and jewelry to be worn that day."
"Border Festival?"
Jiang Moxi didn't know what to do.
"Lady, why don't you ask who is presiding over this border exchange festival?"
Seeing that Jiang Moxi's attention was only here, Mo Gu asked hurriedly.
Jiang Moxi heard his words, and he was as good as a stream.
"Who's going to do that?"
"Of course it's me."
Mo Guli looked proud and begging for praise.
But Jiang Moxi heard this. There are some worries.
"Border Festival, shouldn't this name be presided over by the emperor or the crown prince? How is it your turn? ”
"Brother Huang has always been reluctant to preside over these things, so naturally it will be my turn."
And Jiang Moxi's concern is that at such a festival, shouldn't Mo Yiqu preside over it? What if Mo Yiqu has a dislike for Mo Guli in the future?
Mo Yiqu is no more trusting than the current emperor in Mo Guli, if he openly robs Mo Yiqu's things at this time, then Mo Guli's life in the future will not be easy.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it by then, I went to the imperial brother the day before to say that I was sick and couldn't preside, so this matter will naturally fall on the crown prince."
Mo Guli didn't want to take that throne, and he didn't bother to fight with the prince for this kind of thing.
However, if you say that you are sick like this, the emperor will definitely be displeased, and only Mo Guli dares to think about it.
But if things are solved in this way, it is the best way.
Although he is sick, he can also be present to accompany Jiang Moxi to have fun at that time.
"I'm also going to tell the prince about this matter, so that he can have a time to prepare."
He temporarily said that although he could let the prince come forward to preside over when he was sick, if the prince had not prepared before, he would inevitably make other countries laugh at that time.
Just do it, it's getting late today, and he plans to go to the door with the prince tomorrow.
The banquet was held the day after tomorrow.
Early in the morning of the second day, Mo Gu left and went to the prince's mansion to visit the door.
"Why is Uncle Huang here?"
At this time, the prince was standing in the study practicing calligraphy, a good scene of self-cultivation.
"At the banquet in a few days, I will tell the imperial brother to let you preside over it, and you can take advantage of the opportunity."
He knew that Mo Yiqu, as the crown prince, did not make any merits there, so it was inevitable that he would not be able to stand on his feet.
Sure enough, after he said this, he saw Mo Yiqu's surprised look.
"You don't have to, I have no intention of competing with you for the throne."
Seeing that the prince's eyes gradually became grateful, Mo Guli told him the plan he had thought of, and asked him to prepare himself before leaving.
After he finished explaining, Mo Guli went to the palace again without stopping.
Before he left from the Regent's Mansion, he also asked Jiang Moxi to smear some powder on his face that could make his face pale, which made him pale.
"Brother Huang, after a few days of banquet, I'm afraid my brother won't be able to come out to preside over it."
After speaking, he coughed a few times in a fake manner.
only scared the emperor and asked him if he needed to call the imperial doctor.
"Mo Xi said that the minister's brother's illness is not very serious, but the host of the banquet in a few days will not be able to preside, and please choose someone else."
What Mo Guli said in this matter, as if he was really regretful, the emperor didn't think about it so much, and directly approved it, and arranged the matter to Mo Yiqu by the way.
When it comes to such a banquet, not only is it valued by their royal family, but also by the people in the capital.
I don't know where the rumor came from that the emperor wanted to hand over the right to preside over the banquet to Mo Guli. A small part of the people were dissatisfied.
The future heir of the crown prince of this country is Mo Yiqu, and the right to preside over the banquet should be handed over to Mo Yiqu, how can it be handed over to Mo Guli.
Because of this, after Mo Guli went out of the palace, he returned to the Regent's Mansion in a carriage, and several people gathered in front of the Regent's Mansion rushed up.
