Chapter 649: Family Banquet
No matter what happened during the day, the royal feast in the evening went on as scheduled.
As the host, Concubine Jing was pushed to the position closest to the saint.
But she had no intention of interacting with the saint, and her heart was always thinking of the queen mother who was still in the palace. She felt more and more that something was wrong with the queen mother, but she really couldn't say what was wrong.
"What about the Queen? Why haven't you seen her today? After Mo Han sat down, he looked around for a while, but he didn't see Chu Bing's figure. He couldn't help frowning, although he hadn't seen the things between Chu Bing and Li Yuxi over the years, he had heard a lot, but he had never taken it seriously.
How Li Yuxi treated Chu Bing back then, they were brothers for all to see, he couldn't believe it, in just three years, the original couple would break up.
But what was unfolding in front of him now made him dare not believe what he had heard.
"The queen is unwell and rests in the palace." Li Yuxi lowered his eyes and replied slowly.
Li Mo Han didn't say anything for a while, he always felt that something was not quite right, but when he thought about it carefully, he really couldn't find a reason, so he had to silently accompany Li Yuxi to eat this family banquet.
This family banquet was much more worrying than when the three brothers were all there, and it was also very incomprehensible. Halfway through Mo Han's meal, he couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't returned to Beijing for a long time, but he didn't expect things to come to this field.
Only halfway through the family banquet, Li Yuxi seemed to be drunk, and suddenly asked Li Mohan: "King Zhennan, what do you think of my concubine?" ”
Li Mohan looked at Li Yuxi with some surprise, how could he suddenly mention Concubine Jing?
Li Yuxi explained: "Today's family banquet was arranged by her. What do you think? ”
Li Mo Han was a little uncertain about Li Yuxi's thoughts for a while, and while pondering in his heart, he responded in a low voice: "Concubine Jing is dignified and virtuous, and when she was in the boudoir, she heard that she was a good hand at taking care of family affairs, and now it seems that this is really the case, so people have to obey." ”
In terms of reasoning, he is now a courtier, and he should not discuss the private affairs of the emperor's family, but after Yuxi asked so, he had to say it.
Li Yuxi nodded and left the seat: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go to rest first." ”
Mo Han always felt that something was wrong, so he said goodbye and followed.
After the two of them left, Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked Concubine Jing in a low voice, "What's the matter?" The queen mother worked so hard to make such a family banquet, why did it suddenly become your masterpiece? ’
Concubine Jing didn't know what was going on between the two, so she said with a bitter face: "Where do I know this?" Xu is the saint and the queen have a disagreement again? She just had a miscarriage, didn't she? ”
Concubine Li thought about it carefully, and felt that it was the same, so she suddenly looked at the table of food in front of her, paused, and asked, "Then will we still eat?" ”
Without the will of the saint, they can't leave at will, Concubine Jing looked at the nothing in front of her, gritted her teeth and said, "Eat, why don't you eat!" ”
After Li Mo Han caught up with Li Yuxi, he followed him all the way, and did not stand by his side until he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace. The relationship between the two brothers has always been good, and they rarely use the title of monarch and minister in private.
Li Mo Han said: "What's wrong with you today?" I've seen you and Chu Bing toss in the past, but when is it the same as now? ”
Li Yuxi pursed his lips: "It's nothing." ”
"Nothing like this?" Li Mo Han didn't believe it at all, "I didn't even attend the family banquet, what kind of ...... she was so angry about?"
Before Li Mo Han's words were finished, Li Yuxi interrupted Li Mo Han's words: "I'm afraid she won't participate in the future." ”
Li Mo Han was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Yuxi pursed his lips and told Li Mohan what happened this morning. He couldn't say that he was completely innocent, but when he thought about it, he didn't feel that he was very wrong. Concubine Jing is very wrong, for the sake of having a child in her belly, she should be patient.
After listening to Li Yuxi's words, Li Mo Han sighed. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen just because he didn't pay attention to it.
He thought about it for a while, and Dao didn't directly respond to Li Yuxi's question, but asked, "Don't you really think that Jing Concubine is important?" ”
Li Yuxi shook his head and said: "She is just a concubine, even if she gave birth to a child, she was also handed over to Bing'er to raise." It's just that the baby in her belly is important. ”
"Then does Chu Bing know?"
Li Yuxi pursed his lips and didn't say a word, he had never told Chu Bing about this.
Li Mo Han sighed, and he knew that it was like this. It's too awkward to leave Yuxi's temperament. Back then, Chu Bing didn't know how much time it took to correct it, but he didn't expect it to change back to the original state after only a few years of relaxation.
"I know that the third brother's illness was your handiwork." Li Mo Han suddenly said, "Do you know why I didn't fight with him back then? ”
"I don't know." Li Yuxi replied without any emotion.
Li Mo Han smiled: "Because I never intended for this position. The reason why I won over a group of officials back then was just to have a chance to negotiate with my third brother and then protect myself. ”
Li Yuxi glanced at Li Mohan, obviously not believing his words.
Li Mo Han also saw through this, shook his head, and explained: "Back then, my father deliberately compared me with my third brother. The third brother naturally regarded me as his imaginary enemy. It's not that I didn't try to explain it to the third brother, but the third brother never wanted to listen. ”
"Later, I met a master who instructed me and told me to fight. Because only by fighting can you have the right to speak, negotiate with others, and control your own life and death. So, do you understand? It's not that I fight, it's that I have to fight. If I don't fight, I'm afraid that I will eventually fall into the hands of others. ”
Li Yuxi frowned slightly when he listened to Li Mo Han's words, he always felt that Li Mo Han had something to say, and he meant something, but he really couldn't think of who Li Mo Han was pointing at.
"What do you mean? Don't you want to tell me, I can't know this master who guides you? Li Yuxi thought for a while and asked tentatively.
Li Yuxi was just a test, but he didn't expect Li Mohan to actually nod and say seriously: "Yes, you not only know her, but also know her very well. She is none other than Chu Bing. ’
Li Yuxi was taken aback, and looked at Li Mohan's eyes with a little disbelief.
