Chapter 71: Birthday Banquet
The palace of Meiyu Country is busy for the birthday banquet of the queen mother in the morning, and the lights are everywhere, making it as festive as the wedding scene.
An eagle has its legs painted with bright red paint, a hallmark of the eagle used to carry messages in the palace. Such an eagle is not dared to be hunted when it is seen.
It flew from the sky into the emperor's study, and a small bamboo tube was tied to its feet.
This eagle, Jin Haowen knew, was raised by Murong Yun, the emperor of the Fengyun Kingdom, and was used to deliver urgent news.
He took off the bamboo tube with some doubts, took out the note inside, and wrote: My queen is critically ill, and I am married in a heavy marriage, and the etiquette is not careful, I hope my brother will forgive me.
Jin Haowen's brows furrowed slightly, it was not written who would marry, this is a question.
Murong Yun, an old fox, although he is ten years younger than him, is above him in terms of kung fu and strategy.
The most odious thing is that he has three princes.
The eldest prince is moody, the second prince has the talent to govern the country, and the third prince is playful by nature.
This marriage is okay, the question is who is coming?
He has only one baby princess, if it is the second prince, then marrying the past is the queen in the future, which is a good destination.
If it is the third prince, then you have to think about it, after all, being a princess wronged Xiu'er.
If it is the eldest prince, don't even think about how a prince who is notorious in the country and whose ministers have fled when he sees it, is worthy of his baby princess.
remembered that Xiu'er gave Murong a ruthless toast before, and he felt that Xiu'er was just out of politeness, and what he liked was those talkative slaves and slaves who were talking nonsense.
"Someone."
"What does the emperor command?"
"You immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to the nearby post station, see which prince of Fengyun Country came, send someone to guard outside the city, and see the quick return to report."
"No."
At noon, Mo Xin was eating in the Flowing Water Palace, and his right eyelid kept jumping, thinking: The left eye jumps for wealth, and the right eye jumps for disaster.
Attending the banquet in the palace tonight, no one will trouble her.
"Dongmei, look at my eyes." Mo Xin put down the dishes and chopsticks and pointed to his right eye.
"Princess, your eyelids are jumping too fast, what's the matter?"
"Who knows, it's just a little panicked in my heart, as if something is going to happen."
"It's okay, maybe you didn't sleep well last night, princess."
Dongmei remembered that the light in the princess's room was dark very late yesterday, and felt that the princess didn't want to participate in the palace banquet, and she was not in a good mood.
After all, every time the emperor and queen have their birthday, the second princess's birthday palace will hold a feast to celebrate, only the eldest princess's birthday is that she and Qiuyun accompany her lonely and lonely.
It's normal for the princess to be unhappy.
"Possibly."
In fact, Mo Xin thought yesterday that after the palace banquet, there were still four days left, and she would be able to get the medicine of fake death, she was so happy and excited, she had a little insomnia.
Although he told himself that he was fine, from noon to afternoon, the eyelid on his right side was beating every once in a while, which made Mo Xin still feel a little uneasy.
In the afternoon, the already busy palace exploded even more.
"Have you heard that Murong Ruthless, the famous Murong of the Fengyun Kingdom, came to marry the princess?"
"It's the big prince who can't be avoided in Fengyun Country!"
"He's not close to people, his personal guards keep a distance of ten meters, what princess do you marry? Isn't that harmful? “
"You think he is willing, it's because the queen of Fengyun Country is critically ill that he agreed. Because of his marriage, the queen was sick. This marriage is for the sake of joy. “
"Before, the second princess took the initiative to give Murong a ruthless toast, but he ignored it, such a person is also rare in the world."
"Yes, the second princess is the first beauty in the Meiyu country, he doesn't even look at it, it's just abnormal."
“······“
After Dongmei heard the news, she hurriedly ran over to tell Mo Xin.
"Princess, princess ······"
"What's the matter, you're sweating when you run?" Mo Xin put down the tea in his hand and handed Dongmei a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Dongmei took the handkerchief and relieved herself, "Marriage, the eldest prince of the Fengyun Kingdom, Murong is ruthless and is going to marry." “
"Marriage? Murong Ruthless is the one who said last time that Jin Shuxiu liked it? Mo Xin asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, I heard that it will arrive in the evening, the second princess is very happy, and she is deliberately dressed up, do you think the emperor will agree?"
"Jin Shuxiu has always asked for anything, and the emperor will give it. Since it is a marriage, as long as there are enough benefits, the emperor will agree. “
Mo Xin felt that this emperor only had daughters and no sons, and marriage was a matter of time. As for whether she agrees or not, it has nothing to do with her, an outsider, and she doesn't want to gossip.
is a prince, not a fool, and marrying the first beauty and the first talented woman like Kim Shuxiu.
Although Kim Shuxiu still has a year to go, it is okay to marry back first.
It's like her, it's been two years, and she hasn't even had a coming-of-age ceremony, just forgotten. Or pretend not to see her presence.
The marriage has nothing to do with her, a waste material.
Suddenly, Mo Xin felt that being a waste material that everyone made fun of now seemed to have another advantage.
The palace banquet was about to start, and the officials and their families attended, and they all seemed to be happy.
There are small signs on the seats at the scene, and the signs have names on them.
Everyone is seated according to their names, which prevents outsiders from mixing in and ensures safety.
And the seats are also exquisite, and they are ranked according to their status.
Under the emperor and queen is the princess, and the people sitting at the front are high-ranking officials and family members.
Mo Xin wore the pink dress she had sent and no pattern ornaments on it, the best dress she had ever received in the palace.
Jewelry or something don't have to be counted on, she brought a white hosta sent by Ruyu, and her face, which was already captivating, became more and more cute and charming.
Dongmei took Mo Xin into the banquet site, and searched for the princess in the last row several times but didn't see the princess's name.
Her heart is becoming more and more uncomfortable, in previous years, she was in the last row, so forget it.
It's good now, I want people to participate, and I don't even have a seat. These snobs are too much.
"Look at another row, it doesn't matter if you don't." Mo Xin didn't care about it, if there was really no place for her, it would be a big deal to move a seat by herself.
She didn't want to come to such a banquet in the first place, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and she couldn't let them use the topic to play.
Dongmei looked at the upper seat very unhappily, and suddenly saw a small sign with the three words Jin Moxin on the position next to Jin Shuxiu, and she was immediately dumbfounded.
Dongmei looked at it with wide eyes, and pinched her arm hard, her brows were wrinkled together in pain, and she still asked in disbelief: "Princess, is your name written on the seat next to the second princess?" ”
"It's my name, why did you put it there?" Mo Xin also wondered, did the sun come out of the west this year?
She can still sit with Kim Sook-so?
Mo Xin thought of the marriage that Dongmei said, and suddenly guessed in his heart: In modern blind dates, people who look uglier than themselves and are inferior to themselves everywhere will usually be brought to them, so that they are better offended.
Does the emperor want to use her uselessness to set off Kim Shuxiu's versatility?
Doesn't it feel cruel to stand on top of other people's wounds and sprinkle salt to set off them?
Fortunately, she is not the original owner, otherwise it would be more sad.
"Princess." Dongmei looked at Mo Xin a little unhappily, she felt that the emperor's intentions were too much.
"It's okay, your princess looks like a country and a city, and sitting together may not be worse than that Jin Shuxiu."
"Hmm." Dongmei nodded again and again, thinking: The princess of her family is the best and most beautiful princess, but those people have no vision.
Mo Xin sat on top of her seat, and Dongmei stood behind her.
The dim sum placed on the table includes osmanthus cake, plum blossom cake, jujube mud cake, rose cake, and mung bean cake.
Fruit plate with dragon fruit, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes, kiwifruit, strawberries. They come in a variety of shapes, but they look unusually beautiful.
There is also a small white jade teapot and a small white jade wine jug on the table, the shape of the cup is oval, and there are faint patterns around it.
The people who put the dim sum are all eccentric. The same dim sum, the same plate, the portion on her side is obviously less than half of Kim Shuxiu's.
The officials around were all praising each other, and occasionally someone looked over from here, and saw Mo Xin with contempt.
Mo Xin doesn't care, although Dongmei is angry, it's not something that her little slave can change.
After a while, Jin Shuxiu came out in a long red dress with a red hairpin on her head, she originally looked a little weak, and her eyes were full of joy.
Mo Xin saw her dressed like this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she thought: Isn't this dress like the bride's dress, it seems that this Jin Shuxiu is in a hurry to get married.
The officials who were originally touting each other saw Kim Shuxiu come out, and they all began to praise her.
Even the families of those officials were not idle, from the clothes and jewelry to the little hair of the people, it was held as bright as gold.
Such a scene made the personal slaves Ling'er and Hong'er behind Jin Shuxiu also stained with light. Their faces were full of pride, and when they saw that Mo Xin was lonely and uncared for, their eyes were full of contempt and provocation.
Ling'er thought to herself: Even if the second princess marries the eldest prince with a bad temper, with the ability of the princess, she can assist the eldest prince to succeed to the throne. When the time comes, she will also be able to follow the glory and wealth.
Jin Shuxiu was praised enough, so she took small steps and sat next to Mo Xin, with Ling'er and Hong'er standing behind her.
Ling'er looked at Dongmei's eyes full of disdain, and Dongmei didn't want to be angry with people like her, so she deliberately ignored it.
Jin Shuxiu didn't say hello to Mo Xin, Mo Xin had long been used to this kind of sisterhood.
From a distance, a red dress is dazzling, and a pink skirt is delicate and cute, each with its own merits.
"The emperor and queen have arrived." A shrill voice rang out, and everyone knelt down and saluted.
Jin Shuxiu was able to stand and salute, and Mo Xin knelt without any displeasure on his face, because for such a person, it was not worth it.
People's hearts are originally biased, if Jin Moxin could see through a little, life would not be so bad, at least the mood would not be bad.
