Chapter 200: Entering the Palace for a Banquet

The lively New Year was very lively by everyone, and Feng Lingxue inadvertently observed the snow fox's thoughts.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Lingxue left the hall, leaving some space for the restrained subordinates to relax, and she also gave the subordinates close to home a holiday, allowing them to go home for the New Year.

The rest of the people are all on holiday, busy for a year, finally catch up with the festival, and have a good rest and relaxation for three days.

There are constant fireworks and firecrackers in and out of the city, and when I am alone, I miss Mo Jingxuan, but I am caught by these individuals around me, and I have no free time to be sad and miss.

Feng Lingxue knew that they must be afraid that they would be lonely and lonely, so they made such a fuss, because they were afraid that they would miss Mo Jingxuan, who was far away.

The lively and jubilant atmosphere of the New Year has not yet passed, and Feng Lingxue ushered in a bad news.

It turns out that on the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, the emperor will hold a family banquet in the Longwei Hall to entertain his own sons and grandsons.

Feng Lingxue hates entering the palace the most, and is most annoyed to see that human-faced beast-hearted, disrespectful guy, I really want to get rid of it quickly, but there is no legitimate reason.

Snow Fox opened his mouth and said: "The prince has left a message, if there is a family banquet in the palace, the princess can go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Yu!" ”

Feng Lingxue raised her eyes and looked at the snow fox, "Is there anything else that your prince expected in advance before leaving?" ”

"I didn't ...... Without! Princess! That's it! The prince knows that the princess is cautious and cautious, but he is only involved in royal affairs, and he is afraid that you will not be calm, so he wants Concubine Yu to solve your worries! ”

Feng Lingxue celebrated the New Year, and didn't want to worry about him, it turned out that Mo Jingxuan was a scheming man, and he had already thought of a plan for himself to deal with the emperor before.

He made his own decisions, let Hua Nu hide from himself, gave himself and avoided Zi Tang, and now he is paving the way for himself in advance, I really don't know whether to think of him well, or to punish him harshly when we meet.

I thought that entering the palace this time would reveal my true nature and have a head-on conflict with him, but seeing that he was thousands of miles away and planning for himself like this, he softened his heart, for the sake of his own and Mo Jingxuan's future, it is better not to startle the snake first, since the arrangements are made, then he should just go through the motions.

After all, Concubine Yu is a woman who has raised Mo Jingxuan for so many years, and her kindness is not as great as her kindness, for the sake of his face, it is better for her to enter the palace early.

When she arrived at the palace gate, Qingqing was stopped at the city gate, and Feng Lingxue was led by the palace people to Huaqing Palace.

At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances inscribed with three big characters "Huaqing Palace".

Feng Lingxue walked into the main entrance, and the spacious courtyard was planted with exotic flowers and trees, which were also green and evergreen in this gorgeous winter.

The three rooms of the main hall are imprinted, and you can still see the festive scene of the New Year.

I didn't have time to take care of the scenery, and was led to the hall by the palace maid, this matter was already full of people, and at a glance, it was like a show, but Feng Lingxue didn't know anyone.

But she knew that these must be the family members of the Eighth Prince, after all, they were the mother and son.

She saw that Concubine Yu was already sitting on the top seat, and instructed the palace maid to present her gifts.

In fact, she really didn't know what Snow Fox had taken in the warehouse for a long time? I just said to myself that things are the same every year, and this time I will leave it to him to choose.

After she finished kneeling, when Concubine Yu opened the box, she knew that this thousand-year-old gift turned out to be a precious thousand-year-old ginseng.

It's not that Feng Lingxue is stingy, it's just that in the eyes of doctors, medicinal materials are more precious than those rare treasures.

Now that he had no time to take care of it, he stepped forward to bow down and bow: "Ling Xue greets the concubine!" I wish my mother good health! Good luck! All the best! ”

Concubine Yu looked at Feng Lingxue in front of her with a happy face, and she also knew that she was different from her son.

The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she reached out and held a big red envelope, got up and walked in front of Feng Lingxue, helped her up and said, "Okay, good!" You kid has such a sweet mouth! The mother will give you a red envelope! We hope your wishes come true this year! ”

Feng Lingxue nodded gratefully, and said in front of some of her daughters-in-law that she was just an outsider's daughter-in-law, and after receiving the red envelope, she found her place and sat down.

Concubine Yu introduced her very intimately, and Feng Lingxue listened very attentively, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When it was close to noon, the ladies couldn't sit still, and quit to wander around.

Feng Lingxue also found an opportunity and retreated, and a simple pastry was served at noon, Feng Lingxue was really hungry, so she ate a few pastries casually.

He came to the imperial garden alone, although today is the emperor in the Longwei Palace to hold a family banquet, but according to the practice of previous years, there will be envoys from other small countries in the palace today, so the palace is even more noisy on this day.

Feng Lingxue found a quiet remote place, sat down, and although she was not tired of talking to Concubine Yu, she only answered a few words occasionally, and she was not familiar with a room of women at all.

I finally escaped, and only then did I take a closer look at the scenery in front of me.

The environment in the palace is different from the outside, and although the streets of the capital are also cleaned when it snows, they are all swept in front of the door.

The palace was different, every place was cleaned clean, as if the heavy snow had not come, she raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and walked into a courtyard, which was full of plum blossoms.

The cold winter wax moon is the season when the plum blossoms bloom, and the colors of the plum blossoms are also different, some are as bright as the morning glow, and some are as white as the snow.

Plum blossoms bloom on the same plum tree, and you can see the various forms of blossoms.

Some are shy to be released, and the pink buds are tender and lovely; Some have just bloomed, some have been in bloom for a long time, and the pink petals are lovely.

Looking at the plum blossoms that are full of trees, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion, thinking of Mo Jingxuan who was far away in the sky, and I didn't know what he was doing now? Isn't it the same as thinking about yourself?

It's okay when I'm around, although I miss it, but I know in my heart that he's within reach, and now that he's not around, it's as if I've suddenly lost something important, like a teapot leaving the tea lid that makes her worry.

But when I thought that he had so many things on his mind and didn't share them with himself, I felt resentful of him in my heart.

For example, planning for himself, relieving troubles, making decisions for himself, drinking the shunzi soup, etc., although he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart, but I believe that his original intention must be for his own sake, but he just can't get over this hurdle in his heart.

The plum blossoms of one person and one tree set off her countless questions, and she really wanted to run to the barracks now and ask him for a reasonable reason.

After standing for a long time, before she knew it, it was time for the dinner, and when she walked into the Longwei Palace, everyone had already taken their seats, just waiting for the host to appear.

raised his eyes and looked at the people present, because it was a family banquet, and the princes brought all the concubines, because of some accidents, the princes have not given birth to a grandson so far.

Feng Lingxue was glad that Feng Lingyue was a side concubine and was not qualified to participate in this family banquet, leaving herself with a lot of trouble.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the emperor appeared in the main hall with the queen and the concubines.

His face was much haggard compared to before, and it seemed that he had relied on Yan Chong's pills for a long time.

The moment he appeared, he found Feng Lingxue in the crowd.

If he was concerned about her beauty before, now he cares more about the immortal who heals her legs.

Feng Lingxue regrets it a little now, and healed her legs with disabilities, so that now when she sees the emperor, she has to pay a big salute.

Excuse yourself from being polite, everyone sat down one after another, Mo Ziyuan seemed to be in a good mood, and he had a smug smile on his face all the time, it was estimated that it should be the flattering nonsense of the envoys of various countries, which made him feel good.

After saying some blessings for family reunion such as Happy New Year, he instructed the palace people to serve food and eat.

During the banquet, his eagle hook eyes have been intentionally or unintentionally voting towards Feng Lingxue, making Feng Lingxue feel uncomfortable.

Mo Ziyuan drank wine and enjoyed the dance of beauties, and unconsciously drank too much.

Feng Lingxue was thinking in her heart when this family banquet would end.

Hearing Mo Ziyuan's blushing face, he said: "Today is the first day of the new year, it should be a day of reunion, and it is all because the prince is not angry, and the war that should have ended early has dragged on until now." ”

The crown prince Mo Jing'an picked up the wine glass and said to Mo Ziyuan, who was seated: "Father, the emperor is angry!" It's all the incompetence of the sons, and the loss of the city without combat experience, fortunately, the seventh brother is now guarding the town, otherwise the sons will not be able to sleep and eat! ”

"It's good to know what's wrong! Then you punish yourself with three cups to show that you have changed! Strive not to make the same mistakes again! ”

Feng Lingxue listened to it and scoffed, their father and son are really good at acting, can a fluttering sentence of "self-punishment three cups" be exchanged for the crime of losing the Mingyue Pass, and can it be exchanged for the lives of the 100,000 soldiers?

But the people sitting here, who will mourn for those nobody's pawns and denounce them, just because he is a high-ranking prince, he can treat human life as a grass like this, and he doesn't care about the life or death of others.

If the army returns after winning the battle, the first merit will be the high-ranking prince, and if the army is defeated, it will only be those flat-headed pawns who charge into battle who will lose their lives, and it will always be those so-called imperial relatives who flee back to the capital in disgrace.

"Ling Xue! It was supposed to be a day for the whole family to reunite, but I didn't expect it to drag Xuan'er to protect the territory in that bitter cold place, and it was difficult for you to be afraid of him alone in the capital! Anyway, you are bored when you go back, why don't you stay in the palace for a few days, I heard that you and Concubine Yu get along well, I have been busy entertaining envoys recently, and I have no time to take care of her, you can just accompany her more? ”

Feng Lingxue listened, got up and stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine in the house alone!" Don't dare to disturb Concubine Yu! ”

Mo Ziyuan borrowed the intention of wine, raised his eyes to look at Feng Lingxue's unhurried attitude, and said: "Xuan'er is not in the mansion!" I'm also worried that you'll be alone, and if you stay in the palace and talk to my concubines, you'll have something to talk to, so it's decided! ”

Feng Lingxue still wanted to continue to insist, so she peeked at Concubine Yu, and when she saw that she signaled to herself, she no longer shirked, and thanked her for her grace before returning to her original position.
