Chapter 19: The Birthday Feast
When he returned to the General's Mansion, Jiang Moxi took Si Yin back to the bedroom, and Si Qing took the door with great vision.
Mama Li heard that Miss was coming back early in the morning, so she hurriedly stewed the black chicken she had just bought, saying that she would stew black chicken soup to nourish Jiang Moxi's body.
"Miss, the slave wants to learn martial arts."
As soon as the door was closed, Si Yin fell to her knees, and Jiang Moxi didn't stop her, letting her kneel.
"Tell me?" Jiang Moxi glanced at the tea poured on the desk the day before, and now he couldn't drink it, and he didn't look at Si Yin.
"I want to protect Miss, not watch Miss being bullied and have no ability to fight back." Si Yin's voice was not loud, but it echoed loudly in the room.
What makes her so determined is not that she doesn't know martial arts, but that she can't protect Jiang Moxi, when Si Yin came, she always remembered that Jiang Moxi was the first, and she didn't treat her as a slave who was beaten and scolded.
Si Yin wanted to treat Jiang Moxi like the people who usually came to buy her, but as soon as she was about to start, she heard Jiang Moxi's crisp and clean voice, "Si Yin, your name is Si Yin." ”
For a moment, she felt that it might be okay to follow this woman.
was taken back to the General's Mansion like this, Jiang Moxi was the kindest person she had ever seen, and she should protect her.
Something like yesterday, Si Yin didn't want it to happen a second time.
"But practicing martial arts is very hard, can you really hold on?" Jiang Moxi turned to look at Si Yin and asked lightly, the purpose of her buying Si Yin back was to ask Si Yin to help her with her usual favors, and to send her to practice martial arts, which she never thought about.
"Slaves and maids are fine."
Si Yin kowtowed to Jiang Moxi heavily and assured her.
"Okay, then I'll ask Mo Guli if I have a chance, and see if he has anything that can teach you martial arts, if there is, I'll send you over as soon as possible."
In any case, Jiang Moxi chose to respect Si Yin's ideas.
"Thank you, Miss."
Jiang Moxi was already suffering from the wind and cold, and he was tired of traveling and driving, so he had a little headache after sitting for a while, so he waved Si Yin back and rested on the couch.
On the other hand, as soon as Jiang Moxi left, Mo Guli dressed up and went to the palace.
Mo Gu never had to be notified in advance when he left the palace, and the man who got out of the carriage hurried straight to the imperial study.
"See the Emperor."
The emperor was commenting on the folding, waved his hand casually, and spoke.
"When you're usually fine, you don't come to me often, tell me, what's the matter."
Mo Guli arched his hand, "It's still the imperial brother who is wise, and the younger brother came today to discuss with the imperial brother about Mo Xi." ”
"What? Finally figured it out, do you want to break it off with her? ”
When the emperor heard this, he became interested, put down his play, and asked with a gentle expression.
Mo Guli shook his head, "I want to ask the imperial brother not to cure her for the crime of burning the holy decree, it's not her fault." ”
"It's not her fault, is it my fault?"
The emperor snorted coldly, obviously he hadn't lost his anger yet, and there was no lack of anger against Mo Guli in this anger.
"It's the fault of the Jiang family, they designed their younger brother to go to the Jiang Mansion, and led Mo Xi over, so that there was a misunderstanding between us, so she would do the foolish thing of burning the holy decree, and I hope that the imperial brother will know it."
After saying this, the emperor next to him didn't understand, except for one thing.
"People from the Jiang family, dare to design you?"
This time, the emperor was really angry, and Mo Guli didn't want to make the people in the Jiang Mansion feel better, so he only pushed all the charges on Old Man Jiang and others.
"Yes, not only that, but they also designed to throw Jiang Moxi into the water, and when General Jiang Mu comes back, it will be the other daughters of their Jiang Mansion who will marry their younger brothers."
Mo Guli took another lot of effort, picked Jiang Moxi's cleans from it, and told the emperor about the events of the past two days.
"Humph! This Jiang family is really tired of being crooked, last time it was Jiang Moxi who pleaded with them to spare their lives, this time they dared to do this, did they put the royal family and me in their eyes! ”
The Ninety-Five Venerable was in a hurry, stood up from the dragon chair, and threw the brush in his hand fiercely.
"Come on, pass the decree and bring everyone in Jiangfu to me, I want to see how many heads they have, and they are so bold!"
The eunuch guarding the door listened to the movement inside and trembled in fright, and when he heard himself called, he nodded and trotted in.
"You go, bring all the Jiang Mansion to me now."
The eunuch received the order, and he hurried down to bring someone to deliver the decree.
"Brother Huang is slow, in two days it will be the anger of the emperor's mother, don't see blood at this time." Mo Guli stopped the eunuch from the side and said to the emperor.
If anyone dared to refute when the emperor was angry, there would be only Mo Guli alone, and the emperor would be able to listen to what he said, sigh and call the eunuch back.
"Then listen to you, and when the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is over, we will condemn them."
In fact, the sooner this matter is done, the better, but Jiang Moxi suddenly thought that if he disposed of them at this time, then he would break his promise to let her clean up those people in Jiang Mansion that he had promised Jiang Mo before, so he had to stop them temporarily.
Mo Guli finished his business and returned to the Regent's Mansion refreshed, and along the way, Shi Xu could hear his Royal Highness humming a small tune, as if he was in a good mood.
When he returned to the palace, Mo Guli was just about to step in, but he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Shi Xu and instructed, "From today on, you will go to the General's Mansion every day to send the tonic for the treatment of wind and cold, as well as those supplements in the warehouse, and take them together." ”
"You go to the palace to find Imperial Doctor Wei and ask him to prescribe the prescription, his medicine is the most effective." Afraid that Shi Xu would not understand, Mo Guli added.
--------
"Miss, it's the third day, and the Regent's Mansion has sent someone to deliver something over."
Si Qing held the things in his hand, these days, the regent asked Shi Xu to send these prescriptions and supplements on time every day, as well as those things for fun, although the things are all excellent things, but this is too frequent.
But the prescription really worked, Jiang Moxi was still sick before he came back, and after drinking the medicine for a few days, he was all better, and now his complexion is even better than before he usually had a cold.
"Look at these things and put them away." Jiang Moxi is not very interested in these things, which may be the reason why he has always had no worries about food and clothing.
Si Qing had just walked away with something, and Mama Li came over with something.
"Mama Li, what are you taking?" Jiang Moxi took a sour plum and put it in his mouth, and asked vaguely.
"It's an invitation, and the chief eunuch next to the emperor personally sent it."
Jiang Moxi clapped his hands, took the invitation card in Mama Li's hand, opened it and took a look, it was the banquet of the Queen Mother's 50th birthday, and invited these courtiers, large and small, to bring their families to participate.
"Miss, aren't you going to prepare a gift for the Queen Mother?"
Mama Li saw that Jiang Moxi was about to enter the house with sour plums, and asked suspiciously.
"Oh yes, how did I forget about this stubble." Jiang Moxi turned around when he heard this, and patted his head in annoyance.
The original owner had never participated in such a banquet before, and she had no experience, so she had no clue what to give a gift, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she looked at Mama Li.
"Mama, you go to the treasury to find the most expensive one, and when the time comes, it will be packaged as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."
Jiang Moxi yawned, handed over this arduous task to Mama Li, and turned around to go back to the room.
When it was still bright on the second day, Jiang Moxi was reluctantly pulled up by Si Qing.
"What's the matter, it's not dawn yet, I'll go sleep for a while."
Jiang Moxi's eyes opened slightly, looking at the weather outside before dawn, and looking carefully at the stars hanging on it, he turned around and was about to turn around and sleep again, but was pulled back by Si Qing and pressed in front of the dresser.
"I can't sleep Miss, today is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, the slave maid will dress you up beautifully, and you will be glamorous as soon as you enter."
She doesn't have to doubt Si Qing's craftsmanship, but why does she dress up so beautifully, and she doesn't compare with anyone, but she has been pulled to sit here, Si Qing is also unprecedentedly persistent, and Jiang Moxi has no choice but to let Si Qing pour on his face.
By the time Si Qing finished pouring down, the sky was already bright, and Mama Li brought her the gifts she had prepared yesterday, which were two night pearls with excellent color.
Giving this gift is also decent, and it is not a loss of face in the General's Mansion if you can get it.
When he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Jiang Moxi saw the familiar carriage at a glance, Shi Xu stood beside the carriage, saw Jiang Moxi coming, and reached out to take the gift in her hand.
"Miss Jiang, Your Highness is waiting for you in the carriage."
After speaking, he put a small stool on the ground and helped Jiang Moxi step on it.
Today's Mo Guli is very neat, his meticulous hair and the black brocade clothes on his body all look extremely serious.
"Why did you remember to pick me up today?" Jiang Moxi looked at Mo Guli.
"Sooner or later, we have to be husband and wife, and going to the palace together can still show that our husband and wife have a good relationship, what's wrong?" Mo Guli's smiling voice echoed in his ears, and when he heard the word husband and wife, Jiang Moxi's ears unconsciously reddened slightly, who was married to him.
"Little princess, your ears are red."
There was a cool feeling in Jiang Moxi's ears, and the man couldn't help but reach out and pinch her ear, his tone was frivolous, and he let go of his hand as if nothing had happened.
As if he had been poked in his heart, Jiang Moxi turned his head in annoyance and ignored him, and Mo Guli smiled dumbly behind him, as if he really made her angry.
Thanks to Si Qing's busy work early in the morning, the current Jiang Moxi looks dazzling, his eyebrows are picturesque, his mouth is like a pill, and even if there is annoying shame on his little goose egg face, it makes people look at his heart and can't help but want to go up to appease him.
But fortunately, Mo Guli still has reason, and he knows that he will not leave him tonight if he goes up to tease people, so he refrains from looking, and the two of them arrive at the palace relatively silently all the way.
