Chapter 80: The Family Feast
"The princess is always staring at the king with her eyes this morning, don't hurt your eyes, the king is distressed!" Mo Jingxuan deliberately teased.
Feng Lingxue listened to his words, and she was even more depressed and didn't know what to say, she only sulked, secretly hating when she would transfer with him, didn't she have the upper hand in the confrontation between the two?
Smooth sailing! Feng Lingxue said silently in her heart.
"Ling'er, did you have a nightmare last night? Why is it so angry in the morning, it's not good to take it to the palace, it's not good to be seen by my father! ”
Feng Lingxue listened, out of sight, suppressed her anger and closed her eyes to stop looking at him, she also knew in her heart that this was reminding her.
got into the carriage, Mo Jingxuan was still sitting in the same car with her, the carriage moved slowly, the two sat inside without saying anything, Mo Jingxuan peeked in, Feng Lingxue's eyes flashed a trace of loss.
Isn't it just a warm jade? As for stealing it back with your own happiness like this? Or give it back to her? But looking at her angry and helpless appearance, she added a lot of fun, what does such a fun woman want to do? It's not just as simple as getting the jade pendant back!
She specially designed to frame Su Yihan, deal with Hua Meiying, and deliberately approached Han Yi, what did she want? Leaving herself, will the Flying Eagle Pavilion behind her really be her refuge? I couldn't help but worry about her.
When they got off the carriage at the palace gate, according to the rules, Xiao Lie, Qingqing, Canglong and others continued to stay at the palace gate, guarding their own carriage.
Mo Jingxuan pushed Feng Lingxue, followed by Ye Zhiqing and Fang Qingling, and when he came to the Longwei Palace, he successfully attracted the attention of several princes.
The crown prince sat in the lower position with the pot-bellied princess, and Feng Lingyue, who was sitting next to her, made Feng Lingxue a little surprised.
Mo Jingxuan felt that Feng Lingxue was surprised, and leaned over to explain: "Your third sister has been married into the door by the prince in a low-key manner as a side concubine, just when you were bitten by a poisonous scorpion. ”
Feng Lingxue Fang remembered the use of Youhu's assassination, the prince was looking for a backer to be Zuo Xiangfu, and now Prince Ning has made great contributions to the investigation and punishment of corruption and perversion of the law, and has been praised by hundreds of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and his prince's reputation is a little suppressed, so he is so anxious to marry Feng Lingyue into the door, wanting to maintain a balance with King Ning's power.
King Ning had already arrived early at this moment, accepting the praise and praise of all the princes in the palace.
Feng Lingxue sat in her seat, she also inadvertently saw Yan Wan behind King Ning, this is also her own credit, I didn't expect Yan Wan to be accepted by King Ning as a concubine so quickly and get King Ning's favor, King Ning, who has countless concubines in the house, actually brought her to the palace, and really did not disappoint herself, in the near future, the position of this side concubine will definitely be no problem for her.
After seeing the crown prince and the crown princess, I exchanged a few words of greeting, and said hello to today's protagonists, King Ning and his wife, before pushing Feng Lingxue to sit in his place.
The eighth master, Mo Jingchen, also sat down with the side concubine and the concubine, Feng Lingxue remembered that he was not alone, he had a concubine room for a long time, but there was no concubine, and suddenly an innocent face appeared in his mind, she was Han Meng.
Sure enough, today is a family banquet, there are no civil and military officials, only the prince of the clan and their families, as well as the prince and princess, Feng Lingxue looked at all the people in the hall carefully, and also found Su Yihan and his son sitting opposite.
The sound of silk and bamboo, there are many ladies in the hall, everyone is talking and laughing, and there are also people who like to gossip and look at the other pair of protagonists of this banquet.
Mo Jingxuan and his wife also entered the palace for the first time after getting married today, at this time Mo Jingxuan was diligently sandwiching pastries for his daughter-in-law, because Feng Lingxue was in a bad mood in the morning and did not eat a few mouthfuls of food, so he always felt that Feng Lingxue would be hungry in his heart.
Some people secretly laughed, "A shameless and a lame man is quite comfortable, it seems that the rumors of this prince's wife are going to be self-defeating, this lame man is living a good life." ”
"That's it! In the past, the three flower-like concubines were either scared to death or died unexpectedly, but I didn't expect this lame man to be really fatal! ”
Although she whispered in a low voice, she was still heard by many people, Mo Jingxuan and Feng Lingxue were indeed unaffected, Mo Jingxuan dared to pet, and she tried her best to cooperate according to the terms of the contract.
Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and the hall instantly quieted down, and I saw the emperor dressed in bright yellow leading the queen and the concubines in.
Everyone knelt down to bow and salute, and Emperor Mo Ziyuan squinted his smiling eyes and stretched out his hand to say, "Get up!" Today is a family dinner, no need to be polite, just sit down! ”
Hula, everyone got up and returned to their original positions, at this moment, the queen led the concubines to sit down separately, and Feng Lingxue scanned them all, which was not much different from the seats at the last banquet for the king of war, but a few inconsequential concubines were replaced.
Mo Ziyuan sat on the dragon throne, bowed his head and inspected the circle, his eyes seemed to stop on Feng Lingxue for a moment, and then said to everyone: "Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate Jing Ning's merits, to celebrate his meritorious work in thoroughly investigating corrupt officials, I am very pleased, there are you clan princes in the court, and there are a few princes outside to solve my worries and doubts, and the whole court is peaceful, which really makes me happy!" ”
Mo Jingning stepped forward, bowed down and gave courtesy for a long time, and received a good compliment from Mo Ziyuan, and at the end he was rewarded with some gold, silver and jewelry.
The crown prince had a black face all the time, pouring wine into his mouth one by one, he looked at Mo Jingning's radiant smiling face and felt a fire in his heart, and he didn't understand why his father was trying his best to support himself while cultivating Jingning's forces to compete with it.
In fact, he doesn't understand, the king is in charge of the court also has to talk about strategy, and now he is still the emperor, if he lets one side become bigger, and comes to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, then his life is not in danger, he will not take this risk.
Mo Ziyuan's glory and wealth have not yet been enjoyed, how can he easily give up the throne to others, even if it is his own son, it will not work. Therefore, he must ensure that during his reign, the power of the court is balanced, so that he can sit firmly on the throne.
Mo Jingxuan saw that the second brother had finished rewarding, so he pushed Feng Lingxue to the middle, paid a big salute first, and thanked him for the great grace of marriage.
smiled from ear to ear, and gave her a pebble-sized night pearl on the spot, Feng Lingxue did not give a big gift due to the inconvenience of her legs and feet, but also showed a kind of joy and excitement, which made Mo Ziyuan satisfied the performance she longed to see after rewarding her with the beads.
Feng Lingxue wanted to vomit disgustingly, but her face showed an excited look after receiving the reward, she glanced at Mo Ziyuan, who was high above, last time he had a kind of excessive greed and joy, and he had a weak skin, how could he see it today but felt that his whole person exuded a temperament like a spring breeze, and there was no longer a trace of overindulgence.
After the reward was completed, the dancers performed on the stage to celebrate, and Mo Ziyuan looked at the young singers in the audience, and showed a majestic posture.
Mo Jingxuan looked at the obsession in his father's eyes, disdainful, just when the two of them thanked him, how could he be a father, his eyes were lustful, staring directly at his princess, this is a family banquet, if the Manchu Dynasty is in the civil and military equipment, how can he have the prestige of being the emperor, it will only make the whole world laugh.
At the same time, he was also angry, he really didn't take himself seriously when he blatantly coveted his princess, didn't the 500,000 army in his hands have no strength to deter him at all?
Or did he stay outside the Saiwai for the past few years so that he could sit back and relax in the DPRK and forget that he had a heavy army? The importance of guarding the border pass, his dark eyes darkened, he reached out to pick up the wine glass, and drank it slowly.
Feng Lingxue looked at the cold air exuding from Mo Jingxuan next to him, guessing that Mo Ziyuan's naked gaze touched his dignity just now, after all, he was his wife, no matter how he was the current emperor, how could he openly covet his daughter-in-law? Isn't that ridiculous?
Isn't she angry, she is still so absurd and unscrupulous at her age, and she dares to covet her daughter-in-law, which is really mediocre.
Mo Ziyuan, Mo Ziyuan! My enmity with you is as deep as the sea, but you still want to take me for yourself, if I don't kill you, I won't call Feng Lingxue.
Holding the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, if it weren't for the fear of exposing the horse's feet, she would have crumpled the handrails into slag.
After the singing and dancing was over, Concubine Ling, who was sitting next to her, was happy to be greedy for a few more glasses because of her son's meritorious service, and with a little drunkenness, she whispered softly: "Your Majesty! Since it is a family banquet today, the concubines proposed that it is better to let the prince's concubines perform some singing and dancing to help the fun, and everyone usually can't get together, today is a good day, so I am happy! ”
Mo Ziyuan listened, followed her fingers and looked, the princesses and concubines sitting below were all overwhelmed, and it was not bad to feast their eyes, so they nodded and came from the prince's mansion first.
The crown princess already had a big belly, so the opportunity fell on Feng Lingyue, she didn't take it, got up and went out to prepare for a while, and played a cheerful piece of music with the musicians.
Mo Ziyuan kept nodding his head, and after the performance, he was rewarded with a tribute sharp sword, and Feng Lingyue went down with the sword in his arms with a smile.
Princess Ning performed a beautiful dance, cooperating with the musician, like a cheerful elf shuttling back and forth in the field. It makes people feel happy when they see it.
The second princess, Zhao Yue, also received a valuable reward and returned to her original position.
When it was the turn of the War King's Mansion, everyone saw that Feng Lingxue had a leg disease, so they simply pointed out that Ye Zhiqing would perform instead, but Mo Zhengxi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Sister-in-law of the Seventh Emperor!" I won't say much about this princess when she has a body, you see that the second imperial sister-in-law is also out in person, how can it be your turn, you have to shirk it, father, you see, the seventh imperial sister-in-law really doesn't take the spirit concubine seriously! ”
Her provocative words were deliberately embarrassing, but no one dared to offend the arrogant and arrogant tenth princess, only silently prayed that the emperor's Chrysostom Yuyan would help Princess Zhan escape the catastrophe.
