The two of them stayed warm for a while in the Zichen Palace and got up to go to Shangyang Palace, when they arrived, Ji Fengxuan had already accompanied the Queen Mother to drink tea in the palace, and when the two of them entered, Ji Fengxuan hurriedly got up and saluted Ji Yuchen.

Mo Ziling bowed her hand to greet the Queen Mother, Mo Yining asked her to sit on the side after saying no courtesy, carefully looking at the niece she met for the first time, seeing that she was cold and not rude, her eyes were bright and awe-inspiring, and she was dressed in red but not steady, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Mo Yining asked Ji Yuchen if the dinner had been arranged, and Ji Yuchen replied that it had been arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette; Ji Fengxuan laughed and said, "Brother Ah Chen, the queen mother wants to chat with her niece and send you out." What's the matter, Brother Ah Chen is afraid that the queen mother will bully your sweetheart?"

Ji Yuchen's ears turned red, and Mo Yining saw him say so softly: "In another hour, it will be the dinner party, the emperor will go directly from the imperial study; ”

Laughing lightly, Ji Yuchen said to Mo Ziling: "It's best for Ling'er to go with the Queen Mother, Ling'er, don't worry, my entourage will instruct someone to arrange to take it to the main hall." ”

After the words fell, he led the eunuch back to the imperial study.

Mo Yining listened to the emperor's self-proclaimed frown when he spoke to Mo Ziling, raised his eyebrows slightly, chuckled and shook his head silently.

Seeing Ji Yuchen leaving, Ji Fengxuan immediately got up and looked Mo Ziling up and down for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that the women there in Yongdu have bad skin, why are you getting more and more delicate after you have been in Yongdu for a year?" Mo Ziling, God really treats you well!"

Mo Ziling sat firmly and let her look at her, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and smiled when she heard her say this: "Heaven is not only kind to me, but also kind to His Royal Highness Emperor Ji." ”

Ji Fengxuan was interrupted by Mo Yining, Mo Yining looked at Mo Ziling and said gently: "Ah Ling, although this palace is your aunt, it is also the first time to see you, so it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar; ”

Laughing lightly, Mo Ziling replied: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion. ”

"Ah Ling doesn't want to call his aunt?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister only has one brother and no other relatives. ”

Mo Yining sighed: "Ah Ling, your father is really confused, and he has not reported to the royal capital, and this palace really does not know that there is a niece of the concubine; now that he knows that you are my Mo family's concubine, how can he not recognize each other? Could it be that Ah Ling wants to live without relatives and for no reason, and he is not afraid that the world will say that it is too unfilial for you to recognize your six relatives?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister has relied on the care of my brother and those comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with me, so why should I care about the eyes of the world. ”

Ji Fengxuan was sitting and drinking tea, and when she heard her say this, she got up angrily and pointed at her and said, "Mo Ziling! You dare to talk to the queen mother like this! You ······"

Mo Ziling still sat and smiled coldly: "If it weren't for Brother Brother's quiet care, it is still unknown whether I can survive to this day, and if there is no Brother Brother's begging for a mentor for me, how can I have today's merits! When my life and death are unknown, where are the other relatives? Where are the people of the world? If I am trapped and die in the Xiyue Cold Palace, the world will know and sigh at most." Now that I am standing on a high place, you want to tie me up with morality with the world? Joke! In this life, I only need to be worthy of the people who treat me with sincerity, and other people have nothing to do with me, and if people offend me, I will return ten times over! If one day my Mo Ziling ends badly, I will also calmly face the world's insults, and I will become a king and lose a villain!"

Ji Fengxuan was stunned and couldn't say a word, Mo Yining smiled and nodded while admiring: "Ah Ling is very good! How many people in the world can do the word calm? This palace is just saying, after all, your father is the brother of this palace, but since it was his own fault, only he can bear the consequences." Ah Ling is forgivable for not wanting to admit him, this palace just wants to say, can Ah Ling not care about the coldness he treated you before?"

"The minister said, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone. As long as the king of Xiyue does not do anything that is unfavorable to Brother Ah and Beifeng, the minister and his well water will not violate the river water. ”

Mo Yining bowed: "It's good that Ah Ling can do this. ”

Ji Fengxuan said unhappily: "Queen Mother, why are you so indulgent to her?"

Mo Yining stroked her hair and said softly: "Ah Xuan, the world is already cold, it is rare for Ah Ling to do this, can you repay grievances with virtue? The moral scriptures in the world all teach the world to repay grievances with virtue, but the only one who can really do it is a saint." Isn't this palace also bound by these worldly morals for a lifetime? Ah Ling is very good in this way, everything is just for himself to be open. Ah Xuan is also getting married, although you are not the queen mother's own child, but you are also the queen mother's hand with stool as if you were your own child; I used to spoil you because you have to get married sooner or later, and your daughter's family has only been pampered in front of her parents for more than ten years, and after getting married, she will have to take care of another family. Ah Xuan, the queen mother hopes that you will not be too constrained by these rules in the future, just like Ah Ling, and ask for a frank attitude in everything. ”

Ji Fengxuan wet her eyes and nodded silently, she didn't understand the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words at this time, and only later did she realize that Mo Yining treated her with a motherly heart when the trivial matters in her life gradually evolved into the responsibility of the emperor, and she even admired Mo Ziling for being able to see through the world at a young age, which was not mentioned later.

Mo Ziling saw that the Queen Mother was so reasonable, and said after a moment of silence: "Queen Mother, the minister has something to ask for." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Brother has reached the age of marriage, my brother and I are both in love with the Jiang family's concubine as the concubine, and the Jiang family has also replied; The minister wanted to ask the queen mother to give a marriage decree for her brother. ”

Seeing Mo Yining chuckling at the end of the words, she knew that she had understood her deep meaning, Mo Ziling smiled back for the first time, and Mo Yining looked at her smile and was stunned: "Ah Ling, you look so good when you smile! After a pause, he sighed: "Zilan is really blessed to have Ah Ling so worried about him, and this palace is also a lot more relieved." Ah Ling invited, the palace will make a decree at today's dinner; Ah Ling, have you thought about how to deal with the follow-up matters? Zilan wants to marry the Jiang family's concubine, and it is best not to accept a side concubine before the concubine is born. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister has already arranged, and will not wronged the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, nor will it bring trouble to the brother; Mo Ziling stood up and saluted and thanked him.

"Ah Ling is too polite, how can this palace not plan for him as a nephew like Zilan, but I really didn't expect that King Xiyue would be so confused now, this palace only mentioned him yesterday, but he still insisted on going his own way. Ah Ling, you ······ Forget it, this palace will remind him again. ”

Mo Yining really didn't dare to place any hope on his brother who couldn't figure it out, and he was worried that Mo Ziling was so temperamental, if King Xiyue really touched her bottom limit one day, he didn't know how to end it, so he would have to take advantage of Mo Shining to mention him a few more times in the royal capital recently.

A few people laughed a few more words, and then the attendants came to invite, saying that the people in the hall had arrived, just waiting for His Majesty and the Queen Mother to have a banquet.

Mo Yining got up and asked with a smile: "Hurry up and help this palace take a look, is this dress still decent?"

I saw that she was dressed in a dark phoenix robe, the phoenix pattern woven with gold silk was vivid, and the golden wind at the hem of the clothes was about to fly;

Mo Ziling replied in a clear voice: "The Queen Mother is so graceful and elegant, very beautiful. ”

"This palace is old, not younger than you, no matter how you dress up, you are beautiful; Ah Xuan's body is like a hibiscus out of the water, and Ah Ling's dress is really outstanding without losing her daughter's posture and heroism; Needless to say, Ah Xuan has taken a lot of good things from this palace, and Ah Ling saw this palace for the first time, and picking a few bento boxes is a welcome gift from this palace. After saying that, a palace maid came up with two wooden trays, and several sets of jewelry in them were dazzling.

Ji Fengxuan thanked the Queen Mother and stepped forward to pick out a set of jade and a set of gold jewelry, and after picking out, she raised her eyebrows at Mo Ziling and said: "You are a prince and king, these must be indispensable;

Mo Ziling chuckled: "It should be that His Royal Highness the Emperor Ji should pick first, and the minister can take one set at will." ”

Mo Yining looked at her dressed in red, then picked up a gold phoenix ring hairpin from the tray and pinned her to the hair rope herself, took a step back and looked at the satisfied chin: "This is not so plain, it matches Ah Ling's clothes very well." After speaking, looking at the black jade belt around her waist, she instructed the palace maid to take a set of black jade inlaid gold jewelry and give it to her.

Mo Ziling did not refuse, bowed down and thanked her, and thought highly of this queen mother, worthy of the respect of Emperor Jun, thinking that she was already in the highest position in the world that women prayed for, and only others had her share, but Mo Yining was still so meticulous, and her actions were not revealed;

Out of the palace gate, there are attendants ready to step forward, Mo Yining looked at the step and could only allow the two of them to sit down and waved them to retreat, and said with a smile: "It's rare that our mother and wife can talk to one place today, so let's walk over; ”

Mo Ziling chuckled in response, Ji Fengxuan hugged Mo Yining's arm and laughed coquettishly: "Where is the queen mother old? You ask these people, I'm afraid that those who don't know will think that we are sisters." ”

Twisting her nose with a smile, Mo Yining spoke: "Ah Xuan's mouth, you will have to honor your in-laws so much in the future." ”

Ji Fengxuan blushed and lowered her head and smiled, Mo Ziling followed behind them, the two palace maids in front carried lanterns, and a row of palace maids bowed down to follow, and the group walked towards the main hall where the dinner was held.
