Chapter 167: The Real Family Feast
Within three days, news came out in Wenxi City, although there was no decree yet, but everyone in the court knew that this matter was eight or nine and ten.
The ministers have mixed joys and sorrows, because the power in the hands of King Yong'an alone is too much, and if he is removed from his duties now, His Majesty will definitely promote a new person to the top.
In this regard, the happiest thing is the Guogong Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, today's court can be roughly divided into two, and the Guogong Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion each account for half. Since King Yong'an was dismissed, then they could all put their own people in it.
Mo Yanxi sat at the table, looking at the piles of jewelry and clothes on the table. Quiet, bright, and available in all colors.
Sakura Niang flipped through it, not counting the head, there were fifty or sixty sets of clothes alone, and all of them were the best brocades, and even the patterns were the freshest.
"Look, there are also skirts made of fragrant materials we gave to Feiling's shop, I have to say that this King Yong'an is really careful."
Mo Yanxi's face flushed, supported his face, and muttered: "I'm afraid I'll have to wear these clothes for several years, obviously saying that I don't like extravagance and waste, and this shot is really not distressing at all." ”
When Sakura Niang heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "I think King Yong'an is a good man, these things were sent by Muraichi himself, and I heard him say that they were all personally selected by his master, including jewelry." The clothes are well chosen, this jewelry is very good, it doesn't look gaudy at all, it matches you very well. ”
Mo Yanxi listened, stretched out his hand and flipped over the various step-shaking hairpins in front of him, and then wondered: "By the way, why don't you see anyone today?" On weekdays, they like to be lively, and they always nest here, but today they are rare, and there is no one. ”
Xiangxue just got up, ate something and fell asleep again, Nan Ke took Mingsang to Changsheng Street to buy snacks early in the morning. As for the fan..."Sakura Niang said, sighing: "She has a cold temperament, she has few words, and she hasn't said a word recently, she can still see people this morning, and she will disappear after a while, Xu Gongzi always follows her, and she doesn't know where to go at this time, as for Miss Liu, she went out early this morning." ”
Mo Yanxi nodded, thought for a long time, and then said: "When I come back from the palace today, prepare two jars of good wine, and I will have a good chat with Qifan." She just looks cold, but she can't hide something in her heart. ”
Sakura Niang agreed, then stared at the dress on the table, and asked, "It's almost time now, and it's almost time to enter the palace, Miss, there are so many, which one do you choose?" ”
Mo Yanxi's face was embarrassed, and he looked left and right for a long time before he said: "Since you are entering the palace, this is too quiet and too dazzling, it is better to wear that blue gauze skirt embroidered with silver butterflies." Pick a few more agate hairpins to match. It's decent, just right. ”
Sakura nodded, and after Mo Yanxi changed her clothes, she dressed up, because it was a formal occasion, Sakura Niang specially combed a more complex lotus bun, with two small red gold-inlaid agate hairpins diagonally inserted on it, and a quiet white hosta and a small pendant of small pearls. Finally, he picked out a pair of bright white jade earrings from the plate.
It's just a little powder, and he is already a wonderful character like a fairy, especially with his extraordinary bearing, he is not inferior to the two phoenix daughters in Wenxi City.
As soon as she cleaned up, Qing Rong came in from the door and said with a smile: "Miss, someone from Yong'an Palace, I'm waiting outside." ”
Mo Yanxi panicked, stared at the bronze mirror for a long time, and only got up when he was sure that he was perfect, and walked out of the Mo Mansion with Ying Niang.
The carriage parked at the door was the one that Yuan Huaisheng had been using. Muraichi stood obediently in front of the horse, and when he saw Mo Yanxi coming out, he hurriedly put the small bench on the ground and carefully helped Mo Yanxi into the carriage.
As soon as I entered the carriage, a light purple gold sandalwood came from my face. Mo Yanxi looked up and saw Yuan Huaisheng lying lazily on the bed and turning inside, holding an ancient book with no name that he didn't know where to scavenge.
Hearing the movement, Yuan Huaisheng put down the book and looked up at the people in front of him from top to bottom.
"You look really good in this dress, and the hairpin is also good-looking."
When Mo Yanxi heard this, his ears immediately turned red, and he muttered shyly: "How do you know that you bought this dress?" ”
Yuan Huaisheng smiled proudly: "Naturally, I know that I personally bought those clothes." I remember what it looks like in my mind. ”
"It's just a piece of clothing, what are you doing with these things for no reason?"
When Mo Yanxi heard this, he couldn't raise his head in shame, and looked at the person opposite as if he was fine.
"It's all my silver, so I'm naturally more interested."
Yuan Huaisheng said lightly, poured a cup of tea and drank it.
Mo Yanxi was like being woken up by a basin of cold water. The joy and shyness in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Today is just a family banquet, you can be casual, even if it is Your Majesty, you don't have to be restrained."
"The last time I left, I heard the fourth sister-in-law say that she was going to cook in person today, her cooking skills are average, this talent is spent on dim sum, and the dishes made are also used to the fourth brother's eating, if you feel that the appetite is wrong, just say it, I will let the imperial dining room make some more."
"The fourth sister-in-law originally liked you, her temperament is jumpy and simple-hearted. If you are bored on weekdays, you can go into the palace to talk to her, and I will ask you for a pass token later, you take it, and go out of the palace and enter the palace, no need to report, it is convenient. ”
Mo Yanxi froze in place, listening to Yuan Huaisheng's tone of light settling down bit by bit. Gradually, he fell into contemplation.
"Do you remember everything I said?"
Yuan Huaisheng saw that Mo Yan was not giving up, and his expression was a little dissatisfied, and he couldn't help but accentuate his tone.
Mo Yanxi came back to his senses and nodded: "I heard it... I just didn't expect you to be such an all-encompassing person. ”
"I've always been, but not many people see it. Especially outsiders, I'm too lazy to bother. ”
Yuan Huaisheng said leisurely, these words were blurted out, and he didn't think about it at all. Mo Yanxi savored, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of joy uncontrollably.
The carriage went straight into the palace and did not stop until the Yanchun Palace.
Yuan Huaisheng got out of the carriage first, and then took Mo Yanxi's little hand and helped her walk down slowly. Yuan Yichen and Chang Xinru were already waiting at the palace gate.
Today, the two of them are wearing casual clothes, even Yuan Huaisheng, and the four of them stand together, like a rich and noble lady in the family.
Mo Yanxi was about to salute when he saw Yuan Yichen and Chang Xinru, but Yuan Huaisheng grabbed his arm and couldn't move.
"Today, it is a family feast, there is no king and minister, we are equals, as for the rites of the equals. Get on in. After a while, the food was cold. ”
Yuan Yichen said with a gentle face, and then gave way to a small road, like a brother, and personally walked in because of Mo Yanxi.
Mo Yanxi's heart was pounding, and he only felt that his feet were floating, if it wasn't for Yuan Huaisheng supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground on all fours.
The four of them walked around the corridor and took their seats in the small garden.
The small bridge flows, the flowers are red and willow green, and the colorful butterflies shuttle among the flowers, but it is only the beginning of April, and the flowers here are already so delicate. It is not difficult to see that he must be very careful on weekdays.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I made a little bit of random home-cooked food. You taste, if it doesn't suit your appetite, let the imperial dining room make some more, I specially asked Huaisheng, he! Sure enough, I was stunned, except for knowing that you like to eat osmanthus cakes, I don't know anything else. You can be more careful in the future. ”
Chang Xinru said, and sandwiched a large amount of chopsticks and fish meat for Mo Yanxi.
With such a warm picture, Mo Yanxi's eyes couldn't help but redden, she held back her tears, and said with a smile: "What kind of virtue can Yan Xi be, how can he be loved by His Majesty and Niangniang." I think I've done a lot of good things in my last life. ”
"It should be that Huaisheng has done a lot of good things in his last life, and he was able to marry you as his wife, we must not belittle ourselves as women, and don't wronged ourselves in everything."
Chang Xinru was a little distressed Mo Yanxi, last night she also heard Yuan Yichen tell about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion three years ago, a woman, wandering in this world without relatives and for no reason. With her own strength, it must be very difficult to get to this position step by step, and with such courage, she is worthy of Huaisheng.
"When did I wronged you? What you said is the same as complaining to your younger siblings, you ask Huaisheng, I didn't let you be wronged at all, your eyes are red, and my whole heart seems to be gone. ”
When Yuan Yichen heard Chang Xinru say this, he was not happy, and hurriedly complained to Huaisheng.
Yuan Huaisheng coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and then said: "How can I know about the trivial matters of you family members who are long and short in the family." It seems that the two of us are here at the wrong time today, just in time for you to be in a bad mood. ”
When Chang Xinru heard this, she hurriedly pulled Yuan Yichen and said with a smile: "Listen, who said that our younger brother is just an ice cube that doesn't understand human feelings and has no emotions and six desires?" It's a strange thing to blame us for ignoring other people's daughters-in-law! ”
Mo Yanxi listened, and hurriedly lowered his head and vigorously shaved the rice in the bowl. Suddenly, Mo Yanxi only felt that something was stuck in her throat and eyes, she couldn't swallow it, she couldn't spit it out, and there was a faint crispy and numb pain.
Seeing this, Yuan Huaisheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and gently followed Mo Yanxi's back, until he saw that her face eased, and then he said coldly: "When you eat, you have to chew and swallow slowly, you haven't eaten for a few days, so it's just rude." The fish in the bowl is so big, and there are thorns in it, and I don't look at it, so I swallow it, is it possible that I haven't seen it for a few days, and people are stupid? ”
