Chapter 275: They Don't Dare to Peek
Mo Li pursed her lips and didn't make a sound, royal affairs are not something she can just put her beak in. Since ancient times, in order to seize power and usurp the throne, there have been fewer cases of killing fathers and kings, and killing each other?
The eldest princess babbled about some things when she was a child, nothing more than how good the relationship between her and the emperor was in the palace since she was a child, but now the younger brother of the emperor has gone one step ahead of her. As he spoke, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
"Mother......" Mo Li stroked the eldest princess's hand, not knowing how to comfort her.
The eldest princess put a handkerchief against the corner of her eyes, revealing a sad smile: "When people are old, they love to nag, look at what I said, Xi'er is tired of listening, right?" ”
This is the first time that the eldest princess has called herself "I" in front of Mo Li, and at this time she is less majestic than before, but more like a mother telling her daughter the story of her youth.
Mo Li raised her lips and smiled: "Mother is not old at all, and her daughter is willing to listen to her mother's previous things." ”
"You little girl's mouth is so sweet." The eldest princess pinched her face lovingly, "I don't usually have anyone to talk to, so it's much better to talk to you." ”
I had lunch with the eldest princess, and Mo Li didn't leave until almost half the afternoon.
The new emperor's enthronement ceremony was solemn and grand, followed by an amnesty for the world's meritorious officials. The eldest prince Zhong Hanqing was named the king of Ding, and the seventh prince Zhong Hanmiao was not only not condemned, but also named the loyal king.
The courtiers who made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the rebellion were also rewarded. Murong Chu was promoted from a first-rank general to a first-rank general, and at the same time, Mo Li also became the emperor's first-rank wife. People like the King of Bac Ninh and the Marquis of Qingyuan, who have already become princes, have no seals, but the rewards are much richer than others.
It is naturally a good thing to get the emperor's reward, but the Lu family is not happy. The Xiao family became a rebel, and the Lu family was also implicated, if it weren't for her holding the title of Princess of Bac Ninh, I am afraid she would have to be condemned. Now that the mother's dependence is gone, the princess of Bac Ninh has been named the first lady of the order, and her status in the Bac Ninh royal palace is much higher than that of her princess, how can she not be angry?
She was also among the courtiers who were rewarded by her own son Murong Qi this time, and she was transferred from the Department of Economic Affairs to the General Administration Department as a senator. Although it is only five grades, it is not known how many times stronger than his previous idle position in the Economic Bureau.
After the enthronement ceremony, Murong Chu took leave to the emperor in the name of a recurrence of his injury.
The time has quietly entered May, and a few lilac flowers in the corner of the courtyard exude a refreshing fragrance. Ever since the flowers bloomed, Mo Li always liked to sit on the bench next to the tree for a while.
"Achu, you smell it, how fragrant!" In the afternoon of this day, Mo Li and Murong Chu sat next to the lilac tree together, and she picked up a small flower that fell on the bench and sent it to Murong Chu.
"Li'er seems to have a preference for cloves." Murong Chu took a breath, although the flowers were fragrant, they were not as good as his little girl.
Mo Li fiddled with the small flower in his hand and said: "Lilacs look small and inconspicuous, but the fragrance of the flowers is very special, which can make people calm and calm." If you're lucky, you might even find a six-petal lilac. ”
"What about the six petals?" Murong Chu saw the lilac tree behind him, the clusters of small flowers were blooming just right, but if he looked closely, they were all four-petaled flowers.
"It is said that every lilac tree will have a six-petaled lilac flower that blooms quietly in the most inconspicuous place. It opened the earliest, thanked the latest. Except for the six petals, it is no different from other flowers in color and size, but it is the most fragrant flower in the whole tree. It is a flower that witnesses love and miracles, and the flower language is hope, luck, and happiness. Mo Li's gaze fell into the distance, and he said with the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"When I was a child, I heard a mythical story about the six-petal lilac, saying that the six-petal lilac is the embodiment of the most beautiful goddess in the world, and if you make a wish on it, your wish will definitely come true."
The warm afternoon sun shines down through the gaps between the branches, falling on Mo Li's lilac dress, and then reflecting her white jade-like face, like a lilac flower quietly blooming, quiet and elegant, but revealing the most refreshing fragrance.
Murong Chu lost his mind for a moment, in his eyes, the little girl was more beautiful than any flower, and more fragrant than any flower. Raising his hand to caress her beautiful face, the silky touch made him involuntarily lower his head and imprint his lips.
"Hmm......" Mo Li was suddenly embarrassed. This is in the garden, and although there are no servants waiting for them, there will be hidden guards in every corner.
Pushed Murong Chu's chest in a panic, but heard a chuckle: "They don't dare to peek, so ...... carefully"
Immediately after being shackled tighter, a fine kiss fell. It wasn't until she was so paralyzed that she was about to turn into water that Murong Chu raised her head, but refused to let go of her, took the person in her arms, and asked in a tender voice with a hint of hoarseness, "What does Li'er want?" ”
Mo Liyi said unsteadily in his arms: "No, I just want you to be safe." Other...... You can do without anything. ”
"Li'er, I'll be fine." Murong Chu's hand on her shoulder tightened.
Mo Li sighed lightly: "Don't think I don't know anything. "Although there are injuries on his body, with Murong Chu's previous temperament, he will never take a leave because of this. The new emperor is generous, but he is very suspicious. It's no wonder that he, the Murong clan is deeply rooted in the Great Zhou, although the ancestors have always been loyal to the imperial court, who dares to guarantee that there will be no delusional people in the future.
Murong Chu is in power, brave and strategic, if it were not for him, the new emperor who is now on the throne is likely to be the king of Jin. If one day he rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable. The emperor doesn't think he has the ability to suppress him, so his jealousy of him is also obvious.
"It's so smart, it's going to be tiring." Murong Chu stroked Mo Li's soft hair and said softly. He hadn't told her this, but he knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't have to hide it.
Mo Li raised her eyebrows: "I don't want to either, but who let me marry such an excellent husband!" ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Murong Chu chuckled, "Li'er doesn't have to worry too much, she has her own opinions." ”
There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and Jia Yin poked his head in this direction, hesitating whether to come over.
Mo Li hurriedly straightened up from Murong Chu's arms, stroked a few strands of hair hanging down from his sideburns and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiayin walked a few steps to the front, blessed and said, "Miss, uncle, the young lady asks to see Miss." ”
"Let her in."
"Nope!"
The two voices sounded at the same time, Jia Yin was frightened by Murong Chu's "not seeing", and the frost on his face from the time he entered the courtyard was obviously dissatisfied with the peace of the two of them.
"The young lady seems to be in ......a hurry," Jiayin said stiffly. Liu said that there was something urgent to see the princess, so she had to come in to report.
