Chapter 57, Going to the Feast
The carriage drove slowly down the street, and there was a burst of shouting outside the carriage.
Looking at the few people who didn't care about him at all, Mo Jiuwu didn't care, lifted the curtain, and looked out of the car.
At this moment, the carriage happened to pass through the Splendid Pavilion, and Mo Jiuwu saw Lian Ji standing at the door at a glance, still dressed in eye-catching red.
However, at this time, there was a man dressed in white standing next to Lian Ji, because his back was to Mo Jiuwu, so Mo Jiuwu did not see the man's face.
Next, Lian Ji welcomed the man into the Splendid Pavilion with great respect.
Mo Jiuwu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the Splendid Pavilion that was gradually left behind, lowered the curtain, and withdrew his gaze.
Mo Hanyi on the side looked at Mo Jiuwu with a pensive face, and glanced at Mo Jiuwu with disdain.
In this way, the carriage traveled all the way to the palace gate.
The carriage stopped slowly, and Mo Jiuwu saw through the curtain that there were still a few carriages parked at the gate of the palace, which should be other people attending the palace banquet.
Mo Qingya got off the carriage first, Mo Hanyi followed, and Mo Jiuwu didn't get off the carriage until the end.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw several dignitaries standing on the side, all with their own families, and when they saw Mo Xiong one by one, they stepped forward to talk, obviously acting like officialdom.
"Yo! Prime Minister Mo is here! ”
"Lord Li, Lord An." Mo Xiong also said politely.
"This is Prime Minister Mo's daughters! Sure enough, they all look like flowers and moons! Prime Minister Mo is so blessed! One of them, Master An, looked in the direction where Mo Jiuwu was and praised, but who couldn't hear it? This is completely flattering Mo Xiong and currying favor.
Mo Xiong naturally knew it, and said politely: "Where, where!" This is the son of Ann-sama! Sure enough, it's also a talent! Mo Xiong praised a young man standing behind Master An, the two of you, you come and go.
And the so-called An Gongzi looked at Mo Qingya tightly, obviously a man who was fascinated by Mo Qingya.
And Mo Qingya naturally saw it, and turned around shyly.
Mo Jiuwu on the side looked at the scene in front of him, extremely bored, and walked straight to the side.
Because there are clear regulations in Yelan Country, people, except for the people of the royal family, once they arrive at the palace gate, the rest of the people cannot take any tools to enter the palace, they can only walk on foot, and they can only open the palace gate at a certain hour, so this is why these people gather here.
And at this moment, a carriage came slowly from a distance, and before he got closer, he saw a figure lying on the window of the car, greeting from a distance, "Mo Jiuwu!" Mo Jiu Dance! ”
Looking at that figure, Mo Jiuwu helplessly held his forehead, the person who dared to disregard the image like this, except for Tang Xin, there was no one else.
The carriage gradually arrived in front of Mo Jiuwu, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Tang Xin couldn't wait to jump out of the car and run in front of Mo Jiuwu.
"Mo Jiu Dance! I called you so much, why didn't you reply? Tang Xin looked at Mo Jiuwu depressedly, and accused Mo Jiuwu unhappily.
Looking at the surroundings and looking at this side, Mo Jiuwu smiled bitterly, when she met such a spicy girl, Mo Jiuwu really had no way to take Tang Xin.
And before Mo Jiuwu could answer, Tang Chen's majestic voice came from behind Tang Xin.
"Tang Xin!"
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Tang Xin was stunned and hurriedly ran behind Mo Jiuwu to hide.
Looking at Tang Chen in front of him, Mo Jiuwu smiled awkwardly: "General Tang is good!" ”
Tang Chen looked at Mo Jiuwu, retracted the seriousness on his face, and turned gentle, "Hello Miss Mo!" ”
"Haha...... Then you are also coming to the palace banquet! What a coincidence! As soon as the words came out, Mo Jiuwu looked ugly like eating flies, and he really wanted to slap himself a few times, he was a general and had outstanding military achievements, so there was nothing strange about people coming to the banquet in the palace, right?
Mo Jiuwu didn't know what he was talking about, and looked at Tang Chen with an embarrassed expression.
Tang Chen looked at the changed expression on Mo Jiuwu's face, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he couldn't help laughing, but there was absolutely no meaning of ridicule, but there was a faint doting smile in it.
Mo Jiuwu didn't know that the scene where he was talking to Tang Chen fell into the eyes of others, and it became that Mo Jiuwu wanted to climb Tang Chen.
Among them, Mo Qingya, at this time, Mo Qingya's eyes looked at Mo Jiuwu fiercely, the fingers under her sleeves tightened a little, and then stepped forward.
"Tang Gongzi!" Mo Qingya called Tang Chen with an elegant face, and there was no jealousy on her face at all.
"Second Miss!" Tang Chen turned his head to look at Mo Qingya, his face became polite, and he didn't have the kind of eyes that he had just looked at Mo Jiuwu.
Looking at Mo Qingya, Mo Jiuwu pursed her lips and looked at Tang Chen, "General Tang, I haven't thanked you properly about Qingqing last time!" Thank you very much. ”
"Miss Fifth is polite, it just happened to happen, besides, you and my sister are friends, naturally they are also my friends, if Miss Five doesn't give up, you can call me the same as Xin'er in the future." Tang Chen said with a smile.
Mo Jiuwu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Chen to openly close the relationship between the two in front of Mo Qingya.
"Huh? This...... Not okay? Mo Jiuwu was a little hesitant.
"Ouch! What's so bad, you play so well with me, call me the same, what's not to like? Do you have to call the general every time you meet? Don't you feel awkward? Well, that's it! Tang Xin on the side hugged Mo Jiuwu and said domineeringly.
"Good!" Mo Jiuwu nodded.
But Mo Qingya on the side was iron-faced, and the smile on her face became more and more ugly.
"Ahh The palace door is open, Brother Tang, let's go in! Mo Qingya watched several eunuchs open the palace door and took the opportunity to say.
When Mo Jiuwu heard Mo Qingya's address to Tang Chen, she felt a burst of ridicule in her heart, she was really going to pick up the leaks!
Tang Chen naturally heard it too, and his brows furrowed slightly, but because there were so many people there, he didn't care.
Tang Chen nodded at Mo Jiuwu, and took the lead in following everyone into the palace.
Mo Qingya gave Mo Jiuwu a cruel look, and then followed.
"Cut! What a man! I've never seen such a thick skin! Tang Xin looked at Mo Qingya's back, with a look of disdain, and his face was full of ridicule.
"Alright, let's hurry too!" Mo Jiuwu didn't say anything more, and pulled Tang Xin into the palace.
And as everyone entered the main hall, Qingqing was stopped outside the hall, and the accompanying maids were not allowed to enter the main hall, so Mo Jiuwu had to let Qingqing wait for her outside the hall.
After entering the main hall, there were eunuchs and palace maids who came over to bring people to a fixed seat.
"Alright, I've got to go over there." Tang Xin's tone was a little deflated, and he said to Mo Jiuwu.
"Well, go for it!." Mo Jiuwu smiled and signaled her to go with confidence.
Immediately, Tang Xin ran to Tang Chen's side, because Tang Chen's identity is not ordinary, so his seat is generally at the front, and the seats in the entire hall are arranged according to the different official positions, and those with high official positions are naturally at the front.
And because Mo Xiong's official position is not low, Mo Jiuwu's seat is also relatively high, and Mo Qingya and the others are sitting behind Mo Xiong, so that people can know whose family members it is.
Even though there are so many people, the whole hall does not seem crowded, which is enough to see how spacious this hall is.
Mo Jiuwu looked at the delicacies on the table in front of her, her eyes lit up, although she didn't like to come to this kind of banquet, but she couldn't eat so many delicious foods, and it wouldn't be a loss, after all...... She really hadn't eaten anything from the ancient palace, and she wasn't curious if it was fake.
And this kind of banquet is actually a place for men to trade and a platform for women to compare.
Mo Jiuwu sat on the seat by herself, looking at the crowd talking around her, no one paid attention to herself at all, picked up a piece of pastry on the plate, and quickly put it in her mouth.
The moment the pastry was put in, Mo Jiuwu's eyes lit up, well~ delicious!
Mo Jiuwu looked around, but no one noticed him, so he quickly put a piece in his mouth, his face full of satisfaction.
But on the other side, a gaze crossed the crowd and looked straight at Mo Jiuwu, who was stealing food, with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Tang Chen on the side looked at his eldest brother's gaze and was about to follow his gaze, but he was broken by Tang Chen.
"Didn't see anything! Give me a good seat! Tang Chen retracted his gaze and returned to a stern appearance.
"Cut! Mystery of God! Tang Xin looked disdainful, turned his head and saw Mo Jiuwu not far away.
Tang Xin rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Tang Chen, and suddenly said coquettishly: "Brother, can I go and sit with Mo Jiuwu?" Tang Xin looked at Tang Chen expectantly, his eyes were very sincere.
"Give me a good seat!" Tang Chen was not affected by Tang Xin's coquettishness, and looked at her without changing his face.
"Brother! You're going to let me sit with Mo Jiuwu!" You see, it's boring for me to sit here alone. I promise, I'm just going to sit with her, promise to be good, okay? Tang Xin swore with three fingers and looked at Tang Chen with a pleading face.
Tang Chen glanced in the direction of Mo Jiuwu, and then looked at Tang Xin, "Go!" ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Tang Xin saw that Tang Chen agreed, and immediately got up from his seat and ran in the direction of Mo Jiuwu.
And Mo Jiuwu here was still planning to steal food, but at this moment, he saw Tang Xin running over and sitting beside him.
Mo Jiuwu swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Tang Xin, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's not fun to be alone over there, so I'm looking for you!"
"You're not going to sneak here, are you?" Mo Jiuwu looked at Tang Xin suspiciously and looked at her.
"What sneak away? I'm above board, okay! Moreover...... My eldest brother agreed to me before I came over, okay! Tang Xin heard Mo Jiuwu's suspicion and immediately retorted.
Mo Jiuwu looked at Tang Chen's side, glanced at Tang Xin again, and believed her.
"I'll go! You haven't eaten in a few days? Don't you hold it? At this time, Tang Xin saw that on Mo Jiuwu's table, a plate of pastries had been eaten by Mo Jiuwu two-thirds, and only a few pieces were left lying on the plate, and he was surprised.
"It's okay!" Mo Jiuwu glanced at her stomach, and she only felt three points full.
Tang Xin looked at Mo Jiuwu with admiration, "Is it enough?" Why don't I go and bring you the one from my brother's table? ”
"No need." Mo Jiuwu waved his hand.
And while the two were talking, a voice sounded throughout the hall, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
