Chapter 231: Announcing a Message
When night falls, the palace is brightly lit, and the soft light is like a thin but tough veil, which seems to hide everything that is not good.
But after all, whether there is a cup under the empty cup, I know in my heart.
The palace people entered back and forth in the Qingliang Palace, and in the trays in their hands, various dishes with exquisite shapes were placed.
Tonight, it is the queen of the glass girl country, Mo Xue's reception banquet.
And tomorrow, there will be a formal canonization ceremony.
At this moment, the graceful dancing girl is waving the long silk wrapped around her arms, making one dance move that makes people can't take her eyes off, like beautiful flowers, fluttering with the breeze.
Escorting Prince Mo Xue here was her fellow sister, Queen Mo Lan.
The two sisters sat together at this time, holding the cup to Xiao Mingrui, who was at the top, and saluted slightly, followed by Jiang Lunda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites opposite, and finally, they drank it all.
Over the years, it has not only been as simple as a woman in charge of politics, but even the style of acting has not been pulled down at all.
The men will do it, and they are not inferior in any way.
"Your Majesty, today Xiao Wang escorted her sister to marry Daqian, and she also put the happiness of her life in the hands of Your Majesty."
Although he is the queen, Mo Lan is soft and sweet, and he is a bird.
If it weren't for her identity, just by looking like this, she would definitely be a stunner who could arouse all kinds of protective desires of men.
Moran filled his glass alone, raised it, and drank it solemnly.
Concubine Lu also hurriedly poured Xiao Mingrui full of wine and held it in front of him.
Song Yue'er couldn't attend on this occasion, and Concubine Yuan had already been grounded, and the one who accompanied Xiao Mingrui could only be Concubine Lu.
Moreover, they are also foreigners, and being accompanied at this moment can show that Xiao Mingrui did not treat them badly.
But in fact, Xiao Mingrui had already told Concubine Lu in private that if she dared to do anything that displeased him, Concubine Yuan's fate would also be her fate.
Even, it will be worse than that.
"Lord Moran, please rest assured."
As a result, Concubine Lu held the wine glass, Xiao Mingrui smiled and bowed, "The unification of the world is the trend, and I will have all the people, and everyone in this world will be treated most fairly and gently by me here." β
After saying that, he pointed to his heart, and then drank the wine as well.
Concubine Lu maintained the most appropriate smile, filled Xiao Mingrui with wine, then stood up and said to Mo Lan, "Lord, this palace is also a foreign princess, but Your Majesty has never treated this palace as a foreigner, but treats it as the same as Concubine Yue. β
Mo Lan suddenly asked strangely, "This king has heard that His Majesty has a noble concubine with the word 'moon' in her name. β
Although the question was not straightforward, Xiao Mingrui's brows were already slightly furrowed.
He glared at Concubine Lu without a trace, but he instantly smiled more heartily, raised his wine glass and said, "Originally, I wanted it to be announced tomorrow, but Concubine Lu only knew one and didn't know the other, so I had to tell the truth." β
"Oh?"
Mo Lan raised his eyebrows, looking deaf, and the prince Mo Xue looked at Xiao Mingrui even more.
If he treats women badly, he won't marry.
"When ordinary couples still quarrel, I and Yue'er are no exception."
Xiao Mingrui smiled, and seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "Before, because of the quarrel, I was angry, and I removed her identity as a concubine in a fit of anger, and I promoted Concubine Lu and Concubine Yuan to concubines, I originally wanted to scare her, but I didn't expect it to make her even more angry." β
At this time, he behaved like a hairy boy who was just beginning to fall in love and wanted to please the girl he liked, but he couldn't do anything about it, and finally messed up.
It sounds, it feels, that he didn't mean it.
As an emperor, there are many last resorts, and if the person you like can't fully understand, under the quarrel, you will hurt the other party without choosing a word, which is very normal.
Mo Lan nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that you have prepared some surprise for that lady?" β
And Concubine Lu's body, which had just collapsed because of nervousness, suddenly trembled.
"yes."
Xiao Mingrui nodded again and said, "After all, it made her unhappy, and I always have to coax her so that she can change her mind." β
"Your Majesty has a deep relationship with that lady."
Mo Xue said suddenly.
Unlike Moran, she is tall and heroic, and has the taste of a heroine.
According to the usual aesthetic impression, judging by her appearance, she seems to be more suitable for the title of 'Queen'.
Even the voice was a little brighter and clearer than Moran's.
Hearing her say this, Xiao Mingrui's expression was slightly lonely, and he said in a low voice, "She is the queen's younger sister, the queen is my wife, she has Feng Laiyi, virtuous and virtuous, and she is a well-deserved good queen, but it's a pity that I don't have the blessing to spend the rest of my life with the queen."
And after the queen left, she was always by my side, explaining and comforting me.
Moreover, before the queen passed away, I made a vow in front of the queen to take care of this sister who was like a sister, and I could not break my promise and live up to the queen's expectations. β
After saying this, his eyes were also stained with a trace of pain.
It seems that it is unbearable to look back on these sad pasts.
And if Ye Qingli heard these words, he would probably be able to spit them out.
"Your Majesty is really a man of love and righteousness."
Mo Xue nodded in admiration.
It may also be born from the heart, Mo Xuechang's heroic spirit and temperament have many similarities with the boys of the Central Plains.
She is hearty and straightforward, and her eyes are not looking at people and are not guarded, as if she is an innocent, beautiful, and free bird in the sky.
Hearing Xiao Mingrui say this, her heart was very moved.
Moreover, she quietly thought in her heart that even if she married Xiao Mingrui as a concubine, she would definitely respect Xiao Mingrui, and at the same time, respect that lady.
She is not stupid, she can hear that the queen's position is none other than that lady.
Sure enough, immediately, Xiao Mingrui said, "Right now, the queen's three-year filial piety period has passed for many days, and Yue'er can also accept the canonization, and I have decided to officially confer on her as the queen of Daqian." β
Suddenly, Concubine Lu's breathing was stagnant.
She? Song Yue'er?
"Originally, I planned to announce it tomorrow after the canonization ceremony of Lord Moxue, because, I think, on such an occasion, it is best for the family to participate neatly."
Xiao Mingrui said again.
Moran smiled, pleased with the statement.
Xiao Mingrui's inclusion of all concubines in the category of 'family' is actually to show that after the unification of the world, all the countries that submit to it will also be arranged as family members.
Especially, it is their glass women's country.
What Moran did was such a promise.
The princesses sent by other countries are all with a certain purpose, and even secretly tasked with finding an opportunity to steal the Borderless Seal, but the Liuli Women's Country sent their most innocent women, which shows their sincerity.
"Well, congratulations to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother in advance."
Mo Xue's personality is too refreshing, and when she heard Xiao Mingrui say this, she didn't feel unhappy at all, but felt that she was willing to bless them to come this far.
Therefore, the glass girl country has also made a bloody investment.
Ordinary people send someone with a heart, and those who don't have a heart to protect it well, and the provincial one becomes cannon fodder.
But the glass girl country has sent a 'Snow White' level, ants can't bear to step on it, will Xiao Mingrui bear to do bad things to such a sincere glass girl country?
But who's to say for sure?
"The concubines also congratulate Your Majesty and the Queen."
Concubine Lu also hurriedly got up and saluted, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was stiff.
"Sit down, sit down."
Xiao Mingrui seemed to be in a good mood, so he said again, "You are noble concubines, and Prince Mo Xue is no exception, tomorrow's canonization ceremony, I will treat everyone equally and treat them together." β
It's as if this peace that he has whitewashed by himself has become real.
And what he just said, even he himself was about to believe.
"Xiao Wang also believes that the emperor who can hold the boundless seal has a big pattern and grandeur in his chest, and he will definitely be able to achieve a bowl of water."
Mo Lan picked up another glass of wine and stood up, "This glass of wine, Xiao Wang respects His Majesty, and also respects the future peace of the world." β
In fact, why it was done so far, only Her Majesty the Empress Mo Liuli and the Queen Lord Mo Lan knew very well in their hearts.
The world is so big, and most of the people in charge are men.
Moreover, as soon as the Borderless Seal was born, it had already disrupted the pattern of this world.
Mo Liuli knew in her heart that most patriarchal countries looked down on her own women's country, and even had some dirty thoughts hidden in her heart.
Once the world is really in turmoil, I am afraid that if Xiao Mingrui does not wait for Xiao Mingrui to complete the unification, the Liuli Women's Kingdom will be the first to become the target of public criticism.
Women in power, in the eyes of many men, are outliers who should be eliminated and trampled on.
Women should teach their husbands and children, and the boudoir is popular, how can they rob men?
Mo Liuli's worries are not groundless, at least, during this period of time, there have been many wanderers and thieves on the rivers and lakes, causing trouble to the female country, and even breaking into the palace!
She began to understand that there may be many people who can't wait to destroy the glass women's country, which is incompatible with the patriarchal society.
So, before everything gets the worst, they need to take the initiative to find a way out.
And Da Qian is their most powerful thigh.
"Good! That's a good point! β
Mo Lan's flattery simply touched Xiao Mingrui's heart.
He laughed, and asked Concubine Lu to pour herself full of wine, drank it all, put the wine glass boldly, made a 'snort', and said, "I also toast a glass of peace in the world!" β
It's a pity that the papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger can't get into the water or see the fire after all.
Xiao Mingrui deceived himself, slapped his swollen face and became fat, how long can such an eggshell fortress last?
Once the truth is revealed, I'm afraid that the person who wants to hack him to death with a knife will have to have so many big cadres.
But at the end of the day, it's all done by yourself.
Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, and the cycle of cause and effect will eventually come.
