Chapter 64: His Royal Highness the King of Jin Arrives—
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived"
With a shout. A full of ink 'color' clothes. Toyojin Junlang. His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was like a god, appeared in the eyes of everyone.
And the next one. It's two beauties. One of them was wearing a smoky purple 'colored' dress. One line and one movement. The skirt is like a flowing purple river. In taking advantage of her amazing 'glamorous' stunning. The charm of the bright moon is brighter than the moon. Everybody thinks. Even if it's a fairy 'girl' above the nine heavens, that's it.
Because too many people have set their eyes on Mo Lianyi. So he ignored Nalan Yufei on the side.
"The sons and daughters pay a visit to their father. Queen."
His Royal Highness the King of Jin arched his hand in the direction of the emperor.
Mo ripples with his movements. Bow down and be blessed. She didn't expect it. Even in this case. The Jin kings were reluctant to kneel before the emperor. Of course. It could also be because of the relationship that the empress sat next to the emperor.
Such impudence. In fact, it is a great disrespect to His Majesty.
But His Majesty himself does not mind. And who dares to say a word more.
Nalan Yufei watched from the sidelines with a dumbfounded expression.
King Jin does not kneel. So Mo Lianyi doesn't kneel. But she Nalan Yufei didn't dare not kneel.
So she knelt on the ground respectfully: "Concubine Nalan clan to meet Your Majesty. Meet the Queen!"
And so it goes. It seems that she and King Jin are not on the same side. Mo Lianyi and King Jin are together.
At this time. Only then did someone finally notice Nalan Yufei. Some of them recognized. This is the concubine that His Majesty and the Empress have recently given to the King of Jin.
But it looks like it. This side concubine doesn't seem to be very favored.
And no wonder. Accompanied by a bright moon beauty like Mo Lianyi. What kind of 'girl' can be re-eyed?
It's a shame. Speaking of which. This Nalan side concubine is also one of the best beauties in a hundred. If it weren't for standing with Mo Lianyi. I'm afraid there are few people who can match her beauty.
The emperor was in a good mood. He said aloud, "All right. You've had a hard time. Let's get seated."
"Yes. Thank you, Father." King Jin Yingdao. Then he walked to his seat.
Mo Lianyi naturally wanted to follow him. But her steps were just a step forward. was stopped by the queen: "Mo Lianyi."
"In." Mo Lianyi responded. I thought to myself what kind of moth this old witch came up with. I heard that she fell seriously ill after the sacrifice. Why is it better today? It would be nice if she was still on the sickbed.
The queen asked, "Do you know what time it is?" Do you know this palace and Your Majesty? And how long have so many civil and military officials waited. DID YOU KNOW. What a sin it is to neglect this palace and your majesty."
Mo Lianyi said in his heart. Here it is. She knew it. The queen wouldn't let her go so easily.
Mo Lianyi raised his eyes. His gaze faintly swept over King Jin. But I saw that his face was as usual. There was a playful smile at the corners of the lips.
And that's when . Nalan Yu Fei has already walked to King Jin's side. is respectfully and gently pouring wine and cloth dishes for him.
Mo Lianyi retracted his gaze. He replied calmly: "Queen Qi. His Royal Highness the King of Jin's disaster relief is really dangerous. I don't know how many Assassins I encountered. And it's a tiring journey. His Royal Highness the King of Jin can't stand it even if he is beaten with iron. So on the way back to Beijing. His Royal Highness occasionally felt a chill. And often headaches. It was His Highness who had a headache on the way. That's why I stayed in the city a little longer. lest the temple be in front of the suit. Please also ask the queen to read it for the sake of Her Royal Highness's work for the country. Don't blame."
She said this. The people in the temple were sighing again. They all sighed that His Royal Highness King Jin had worked hard and made great achievements. I'm tired and sick. Come a little later, come a little later. It's really not a big deal.
The emperor looked at Mo Lianyi with a slightly drunken gaze. There was a hint of banter in that gaze. It's like looking at a cunning little fox.
Mo Lianyi finished speaking. Even if the queen has the intention to make things difficult, she can only let it go.
At this time, the emperor spoke: "Okay. Come and take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She is like 'amnesty'. Finally passed a level.
When I walked to King Jin's side. Mo Lianyi found out that the emperor had set up a seat for her alone. And right next to King Jin. That location. In fact, it is the position of the princess of Jin. Think about it this way. She felt warm in her heart. His Majesty the Emperor. It's really good.
So. Mo Lianyi, who was in a good mood, walked to King Jin's side with a smile. As he passed by his side. Just listen to him with a depressed one. The voice that only two people could hear said, "How dare you lie. See how I clean you up when I get back."
Mo Lianyi chuckled. In a low voice of provocation: "This sentence is just returned to you as it is." Let's see how she settles accounts with him when she goes back.
Nalan Yufei watched the two of them flirting on the side, so it was not sweet. The heart is like a ball of cotton 'flowers' that she can't swallow. Can't spit it out. No matter what, it's aggrieved.
The banquet continued.
From time to time, people come to congratulate them with courage. And His Royal Highness King Jin is in a surprisingly good mood today. He didn't turn on his terrifying aura that was so powerful that it made the ghosts and gods angry. Instead. For all those who come to toast. All smiling kindly. Don't talk about it yet. His Royal Highness the King of Jin once he is gentle. The impact should not be underestimated. It makes people feel a little like the 'spring' wind.
Even the crown prince, who has always been known for his corporal Lixian. All have been compared.
Mo Lianyi's gaze fell on the crown prince.
Tonight's prince wore a bright yellow 'colored' dragon pattern dress. His expression at the moment was a little blank. His eyes were staring at his desk as if they were out of focus. Just drinking glass after glass of wine.
For the way he looks. Mo Lianyi also understood in his heart.
Since the burning of the East Palace. This prince has lost all his face. And to whom the emperor's heart is headed. Everyone can see it clearly.
It's like today's banquet. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a foil from beginning to end. No one even stepped forward to toast him.
Even if the crown prince has the support of the eight great families behind him. I'm afraid I'm going to ascend to the throne. It's also an unknown. The reason why the emperor still let him stay in the position of crown prince. Ten have**.In order to contain the queen.
Suddenly. The prince raised his eyes. His gaze was falling on Mo Lianyi's body. The two of them met their eyes. Then she saw a faint smile in the prince's eyes. That smile. It seems to shout some kind of ...... Compassion.
Mo Lianyi looked away. I just think it's a little weird. The prince is taking pity on her. Why.
Soon though. She'll know the answer.
Because among the ministers . There was a 'flower' white-haired official who stood up. He said to the emperor: "Your Majesty. Although the Jiangnan flood was successfully and smoothly resolved. But. The imperial court still can't take it lightly."
The emperor reclined on the dragon chair. Mo Lianyi can see it. His drunkenness deepened a little again: "Oh. Then Xu Qing's family is talking about it. Why can't you take it lightly?"
Lord Xu said, "Back to Your Majesty. In recent years. The power of the Huyan Department of the Mobei Grassland is getting stronger and stronger. And every time the snow closes the mountain. Those cavalry of the Huyan tribe will come to my territory to burn and loot. In the past, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was shocked in Mobei. Those barbarians still know how to converge a little. Now His Royal Highness the King of Jin has returned to Beijing. The steppe barbarians had no scruples. Now. 200,000 male soldiers in the Mobei grassland pressed the border. In order to protect my great summer thousand autumn foundation. Please make plans for your majesty."
Master Xu finished speaking. The celebratory atmosphere in the field suddenly took advantage of the opportunity. Even the dancing girls. They all stopped moving. Panicked and stepped aside. The sound of ceremonial music stops. Everyone's eyes were quietly fixed on the emperor.
Mo Lianyi saw. The Queen's eyes crossed with a slight chuckle. It seems that this matter was also planned by the queen.
Just don't know. What exactly is the queen's intention in doing this? Thinking of the prince's compassionate gaze just now. Could it be that the queen's move was ultimately aimed at her.
His Majesty the Emperor's handsome face was obscure. It's not a smile. He looked at Master Xu. I vaguely remember that this person married a few months ago a concubine of the Nalan family as a step-family. It's not. The ones who are in the eyes are here to play for the Nalan family.
Xu Qingjia said. It is to ignore the internal and external difficulties of Great Xia. People's livelihood is difficult. also wave troops north. Kill the grassland barbarians and fall under the horse." The Emperor's voice was low. More intoxicating than an aged wine. But at this moment. But there is an infinite majesty in his voice. It seems like the next second. Let him who angers him. Lose one's head.
Really. That Lord Xu fell to his knees with a puff. Trembling explained: "Minister...... The minister has no such intention."
The queen sneered. I cursed in my heart for a waste. The Emperor hasn't done anything yet. He was scared like this. Sure enough, it's an overwhelmed one.
The emperor sneered: "Then what do you mean by Xu Qing's family?" The emperor's words fell. Another officer stepped forward. The official's surname is Zhang. He is also a minion of the queen's lineage.
I only listened to this Lord Zhang: "Your Majesty. According to Yichen. The situation in Mobei cannot be delayed. War is the next resort. But I can't let anyone bully me in Daxia. Unprepared. To know. In the past, when His Royal Highness the King of Jin guarded Mobei. Those steppe barbarians are honest. Now is the time for the country to employ people. Please also ask for your Majesty's permission. Let His Royal Highness the King of Jin return to Mobei. to guard my Great Xia Frontier."
"Hahaha." The Emperor burst out laughing.
Everyone in the audience was laughing inexplicably at him.
Mo Lianyi sighed in his heart. I see. These people plan to use this excuse to drive the King of Jin back to Mobei. Truly. The prestige of the Jin king among the people has become higher and higher. The rest of the princes have all been crushed by him. And he also holds the military power and officialdom in Jiangnan. If you don't drive the king of Jin away from the center of power. I'm afraid it won't be two years. This Great Xia is all in the hands of the King of Jin.
And unlike everyone's shocked expressions. His Royal Highness the King of Jin has always been indifferent. Today he is going to play a gentle and moist like 'jade'. Corporal Lixian. Such as the 'spring' wind. So whatever happens. He's going to keep acting.
Mo Lianyi quietly observed his expression. I don't understand him being so calm. Soon though. She understood.
I only heard His Majesty the Emperor on the high seat continue: "According to the meaning of Zhang Qing's family. King Jin is an indispensable pillar of my Great Xia. If there is no other guard. The 'gate' of the country to the north of my Great Xia is like a no-man's land. Let the barbarians loot and bully. That's not what it means."
"Your Majesty Mingjian...... The minister ...... "Lord Zhang was 'forced' into a cold sweat. He just wanted to change his tune. But when I looked up, I saw the queen's 'gloomy' gaze. He was ruthless. A gritted tooth. He replied, "That's right. His Royal Highness King Jin is truly unique. Indispensable. Please also ask Your Majesty to remember the life and death of millions of people in the north of the Great Xia Desert. Then send the king of Jin to guard Mobei.".
