Chapter IV

When he first arrived in Shen, Mo Zilan rushed to the other courtyard, and it was indispensable to have another greeting. After the meal, everyone moved to the flower hall, although it was a cold winter, Han Daolin's flower hall was indeed a group of flowers, the center of the flower hall was divided into two rows of wooden tables, each wooden table was placed on the clay pot pottery cup, and the appetizer was the pickled cured meat prepared by Gongsun Yue with Mo Ziling recently, and there was also a little bit of fruit. There are two collapses on the east side of the flower hall, and Han Daolin and his wife will play chess in the flower hall from time to time.

Han Daolin and Ji Yuchen sat on the left side, Mo Zilan was the first on the right, Han Fang was in the center, and Mo Ziling was at the end. Two charcoal basins were placed in the middle of the banquet, and the maidservants withdrew from the flower hall after setting up the tea, and closed the carved wooden door. Han Daolin smiled and raised his glass to drink first, telling the children that there was no need to be restrained; after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the banquet became warm, and Han Fang recounted what he had seen and heard during his year-long travels. Since the age of twelve, he has traveled all over the world, and it has been six years; he has been well-read, and in the past six years of travel, Mo Zilan can't help but admire, Ji Yuchen is silent, and Mo Ziling has never spoken.

"Brother Han, will you go out when you come back this time?" Mo Zilan asked.

Han Fang glanced at Mo Ziling, who was eating a snack. The corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and the amorous mood in his peach blossom eyes swelled for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Don't go out." accompanied by Daddy and Auntie, as well as Ah Ling. Mo Ziling heard him mention that he pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, Gongsun Yue smiled and praised: "It's not time to go out." After the New Year's Festival, my mother is going to start looking at the woman for the child, and your father and I can't wait to tease the grandson. ”

Han Fang was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Mother, don't interfere in your son's affairs, your son has his own measure." Before Gongsun Yue could say anything, Han Daolin next to her pulled her sleeve and didn't speak again, only glared at her husband.

Mo Zilan raised his glass and saluted Ji Yuchen and asked, "Speaking of which, Brother Ji, I have been married for six years?"

Ji Yuchen was stunned for a moment, put down the wine cup and said: "My aunt died early, left the house at a young age, wandered around, and never got married. ”

"It's the little brother, isn't it, let Brother Ji think of the sad thing, please drink this cup. Mo Zilan took another cup and drank it.

"Ah Ling, I haven't seen you for a year, senior brother, I see that you have improved a lot. You are still young, and practicing too hard may not be good for your body. Senior brother went out this time to find a good sword for you, and I will give it to you tomorrow. Han Fang whispered to Mo Ziling, and Mo Ziling thanked him softly.

"Mr. Han, Mrs., Brother Ji, Brother Han. In three days before the New Year's Festival, my father ordered me to invite you to the royal palace feast, and asked you to give me some thin noodles. Mo Zilan got up and looked at everyone nodding and continued to sit down.

The atmosphere in the banquet became warm again, Mo Ziling looked at the sky, got up and walked to Han Daolin and his wife and whispered goodbye, Gongsun Yue wanted to send her out, and slowly withdrew from the flower hall after softly refusing. Han Fang narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly and continued to listen to Mo Zilan's words, Ji Yuchen watched the door of the flower hall close lightly and frowned, and then remained silent.

It was already time to return to Miyagi, and sure enough, I saw Wanniang waiting in the courtyard. After persuading Wan Niang to return to the side hall, Mo Ziling returned to the main hall and picked up the book and read it.

In the Pujia Hall on the east side of the main hall of the royal city, Mrs. Yu sat on the main seat and looked at a pair of children with a smile. The mother and son were talking about the New Year's feast, and Mrs. Yu looked at her beloved daughter more and more satisfied: a light purple brocade robe, embroidered with entwined lotus flowers on the cuffs and neckline, hair like clouds, eyebrows like distant mountains, beautiful eyes like water, cherry lips red without dots, and a dignified sitting posture, with a faint sense of nourishment and nobility.

"Yao'er, your brother has been crowned after the New Year's Festival, and he has also been married, so the mother concubine doesn't need to worry about it anymore. You will also be in tune, and you will have to pay more attention to your family affairs. You are the only princess of our Xiyue, and you are born so beautiful, you must marry into the royal capital, and your father will do the same. ”

"Mother, the situation in the royal capital is unclear at this time, and we shouldn't talk about it too early. Moreover, Xiyue Ke also has a princess who lives in the palace, and it is still inconclusive whether his daughter has entered the royal capital. Mo Ziyao didn't have the shyness of her ordinary daughter's family when she talked about family affairs, and only looked at Mrs. Yu with a condensation.

"Yao'er, the mother concubine told you, that one, it's not worth mentioning. A wild seed of unknown origin, forbidden in the Moli Temple for so many years, what ability might he learn? Your father will never recognize her! You only need to practice your psychic power diligently, and you will be the future emperor and queen if you pass the test of the royal capital Taibu, and then your brother's position as the son of the world will not be far away. Mrs. Yu's expression was a little more stern when she said this, and she paused for a moment and continued: "At the New Year's Festival banquet, there will be a prince from Wangji to participate. Your father said that this person is the son of King Rui, and now he is under the door of Mr. Han, and you should make friends with this person a lot at that time, and it may not be our help in the future. ”

"Son of King Rui, Mother Concubine, King Rui is not liked by the emperor, how can his son be our help?" Mo Ziyan asked suspiciously. Mo Ziyao also said: "It is said that the first emperor once wanted to pass on the throne to King Rui, but because King Rui favored a folk woman and did not accept the marriage of the first emperor, the woman of the family was rejected by the first emperor, and there is the current Emperor Jun." After Emperor Jun ascended the throne, he began to suppress the King of Rui, and married two princesses on one side of the court, and the folk woman died of depression. Which prince of the Rui Wangfu will be attending the banquet this time? Whether it can be a help remains to be investigated. Please rest assured that we will meet the opportunity. ”

Mrs. Yu bowed her head in satisfaction, and after a few more words, she ordered them to leave, and dressed up carefully to welcome the arrival of King Xiyue. Mo Ziyao saluted her brother and walked slowly towards her Caiwei Palace, thinking of her mother's words and smiling again, she was deeply cherished by the King of Xiyue, and the one who left the palace was indeed not worth mentioning. Mo Li, Mo Li, isn't it just Mo Lu Far away! The future emperor and queen can only be her Mo Ziyao.

The New Year's feast began in the unitary time, and more than half of the Shen time, there were horse-drawn carriages in the palace of the ministers and clans one after another. Ji Yuchen and Han Daolin's family had also entered the palace, and Mo Zilan stood at the door of Jixian Hall to welcome them into the hall and place them in the seat, because Ji Yuchen did not clearly indicate his identity, he also sat with Mr. Han's family.

In the Pujia Palace, Mrs. Yu was sorting out the clothes for the king of Xiyue, and Mo Shining was in the prime of life, and her body under the ochre-colored royal robe was slightly bloated, elegant and solemn. Mrs. Yu, who looked at the busy people up and down, asked, "Are Yan'er and Yao'er ready?"

Mrs. Yu buttoned the jade belt around Mo Shining's waist and replied: "The prince gave it, how can Yao'er not be happy? Mo Shining also laughed when he heard his beloved daughter's joy: "Go to Jixian Palace." ”

In the main hall, Queen Xuanyuan is also dressed properly: the big red queen is in formal clothes, and the eight phoenix hairpins on her hair emit bright light, and her face is absolutely beautiful, and there is a faint sorrow that emerges from time to time, without reducing the beauty at all, adding to the state of pity. At this time, she sat on the couch and waited for the prince Mo Zilan to pick her up. Suddenly, Mo Zilan rushed over from Jixian Palace, entered the hall and saw his mother's sitting posture, sighed lightly and helped the queen out of the hall, and waited for Xuanyuan to sit in the sedan chair and put down the curtain and start to follow on the side. Mo Zilan thought about his mother all the way, the Xuanyuan clan was the daughter of the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan in the royal capital, and she was already beautiful in the world before she reached the end of the day. According to the meaning of the Xuanyuan patriarch, she should have entered the imperial city to become the imperial concubine of Emperor Jun, but the patriarch's wife couldn't bear to love her daughter under the Mo clan, and the patriarch was ready to slowly figure it out. Chamo Shining should be edicted into the royal capital, and accidentally saw the Xuanyuan clan, and was shocked. Then he invited the emperor Mo Yining to propose marriage, and the Xuanyuan family also fell in love with Mo Shining's handsome posture and married Xiyue to become the queen.

After getting married, the king of Xiyue favored Xuanyuan alone, and had no heirs for three years, Mo Zilan's grandmother forced Mo Shining to marry Mrs. Yu, a year later, Mo Zilan was born, and the king of Xiyue was overjoyed, and the king of Shangju was invited to be named the prince, and he was more and more favored by Xuanyuan. In another year, Mrs. Yu also gave birth to a son, named Mozi Yan, and Mo Ziyao was born two years later. For many years without adding another heir, the queen was depressed in her chest, and heard that Xiaohua Mountain outside the royal city had a temple to send her son, so she went to incense, at that time, Xuanyuan did not know that she was already pregnant. After that, the Xuanyuan clan was plundered, and Mo Shining went to Beiqiang to find it; Mo Zilan was poisoned, and Mo Ziling was rejected when he was born, and he was forbidden to enter the Moli Palace. The Xuanyuan clan also ignored it, and even resented this daughter, only to meet the king of Xiyue, strictly urged his son to do his homework, and only wanted to protect the position of the son of the world from being taken away by Mozi Yan. Mo Zilan couldn't change his father, princess, and concubine's disgust and dislike for his sister, and secretly decided: he will protect his sister for the rest of his life!

The sedan chair fell in front of the Jixian Palace, and Mo Zilan came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xuanyuan down.
