Chapter 398: The Birthday Banquet Storm (I)
The two of them simply used a little something, and Duanmu Lingyu changed into the appearance of a eunuch and followed Mu Qingya's side.
Looking at the ordinary face with a hint of femininity, the smile in Mu Qingya's eyes never disappeared: "Your dress is really special." ”
Duanmu Lingyu was also awkward in his heart, but this time it was not as good as last time, last time he could disguise himself into Yu Jinghong's appearance, but now he can't choose what he wants to look like, he can only choose a ready-made person to dress up, so he wronged himself and pretended to be a eunuch.
Mu Qingya put away her smile and coughed slightly: "Okay, didn't you say that there was a good show, what kind of show is it?" ”
Duanmu Lingyu let go of the awkwardness in his heart and said with a smile: "Didn't you arrange for Han Linglong to suspect the child in Qianhe's belly before?" It's working out now? The Dark Guard had just reported the news. ”
"What's the news?"
"Xia Jingyan's birthday is not coming, she is going to expose her at the birthday banquet."
Mu Qingya frowned slightly: "At Xia Jingyan's birthday banquet?" She completely believed it, but this imperial concubine was not easy to bully, she was still thinking about competing for the back position, Han Linglong didn't have any power now, and she dared to make a mistake at her birthday banquet? ”
"This matter is a major matter related to the royal bloodline, and she has made a great contribution to exposing Qianhe, Xia Jingyan will not embarrass her for the sake of this matter, so there is no need to worry about it at all."
Mu Qingya sneered in her heart: "I just don't know what method she will use to prove it?" Could it be to find an unwarranted lover to prove that Qianhe has an affair with someone else? ”
Duanmu Lingyu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You guessed this?" ”
"Seriously?" Mu Qingya was surprised.
"You really said it, Qianhe did set a family business before entering the palace, and she was looking for this man."
"This thing is not right," Mu Qingya objected, "Palace maids are not allowed to enter the palace without permission, Qianhe has been in the palace for many years, and has never had a chance to go out, how could he have an affair with that man?" ”
Duanmu Lingyu smiled: "You might as well know this, that man is also affectionate, not long after Qianhe entered the palace, he entered the army because he missed her, and made military exploits in a peaceful rebellion, and was sealed to walk in front of the palace, and now he is a guard, from the fourth grade, it is also extremely difficult." ”
Mu Qingya was extremely surprised, from a commoner all the way to the palace as a guard, this is not easy to be able to explain clearly in a few words, and now Qianhe doesn't know whether it is lucky or unlucky, if he is not involved with the eldest prince, he will leave the palace calmly, and he will be happier than now: "Speaking of which, this Qianhe is blessed." ”
Duanmu Lingyu stepped forward and wanted to take Mu Qingya into his arms, but was pushed away by Mu Qingya. Looking at his surprised appearance, Mu Qingya glanced at him coldly: "I can't stand your current appearance." ”
Duanmu Lingyu touched his nose and looked at her very dotingly: "Okay, I know." ”
Xia Jingyan's birthday banquet is not small in the palace, after all, she is now the highest ranking woman in the palace, and the imperial concubine is the same as the deputy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her birthday banquet is celebrated by the whole world, so the palace is full of red fire.
Mu Qingya walked forward with Le Qi, and Duanmu Lingyu, who was disguised behind her, dragged a plate with red silk covering it with a birthday gift ready to be offered.
"County Lord, what a coincidence, you also came here at this time." Han Linglong smiled affectionately, walked over and took Mu Qingya's hand slightly, "County Lord, I want to visit you in the palace in the past two days, but something happened at home, so it was delayed." ”
Mu Qingya smiled and quietly withdrew her wrist: "Miss Han is too polite, it's good to have this heart." ”
Han Linglong smiled and nodded: "Yes, in the future, Linglong will definitely come and go with the county lord often, and please don't shut me out." ”
"Naturally not, the time is almost up, let's go in quickly."
"Yes, Lord of the County, please." Han Linglong stepped out of the way slightly, let Mu Qingya walk over, and after a while, she looked up at Mu Qingya's back slightly, and a trace of meaning flashed in her eyes, hum, slut, last time for you, my brother actually beat me and made me suffer family law, I have to get it back from you little by little!
Duanmu Lingyu walked by Han Linglong's side, her eyes flashed slightly, her sleeves moved slightly, and a little bit of powder floated on her sleeves, and she couldn't find any traces for a while.
Mu Qingya glanced back at Duanmu Lingyu, and when she saw the light smile on his face, her heart suddenly relaxed.
Han Linglong didn't notice the abnormality, but clapped her hands in disgust, as if she had just held Mu Qingya and was contaminated with something, and looked at the maid on the side coldly: "Qinglan, but are you ready?" ”
"Miss Hui, everything is ready, don't worry."
"That's good." The corners of Han Han Linglong's lips raised a charming arc, and she walked into Yuntai Palace with a smile on her face.
This time he didn't have to wait long, Mo Ao walked over with Xia Jingyan, and everyone knelt down and saluted.
Mo Ao sat on the throne and motioned for Xia Jingyan to sit aside, before he spoke: "Flat." ”
"Your Majesty."
"Today is the imperial concubine's birthday, you don't have to be more restrained, just be comfortable."
Although Mo Ao said this, everyone didn't dare to be really casual, but they still had to cooperate, and after thanking him, they began to offer compliments and congratulations, which made the smile on Xia Jingyan's face much brighter.
The sound of silk and bamboo is melodious, and the dancing girl is even more exhausted, with flexible waists and amazing dancing skills, and many officials who are dizzying to watch.
Mu Qingya sat in her seat, but her eyes fell on the people opposite, because Xia Jingyan's status was extremely high, and she could accept the visit of the wife, and in the case of the emperor attending her birthday banquet, those officials would naturally not lag behind, and they came to meet the imperial concubine Niangniang, so almost all the magnates above the fifth rank of Canglan were concentrated at this banquet.
Zhao Duo noticed the eunuch following behind Mu Qingya at the first time, that eunuch was kind-faced, he should have seen it in Jing Ningxuan, but when he looked closely, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a clue for a while.
At this time, Mo Junwei stepped forward to offer a birthday gift: "The son presents a birthday gift for the noble concubine and congratulates the noble concubine on her good health." ”
Xia Jingyan enjoyed the feeling of being on top, and the smile on her face was graceful and generous: "Thank you King Lijun." "The eldest prince has passed away, and now Mo Junwei is already the eldest son of the emperor, and for Mo Junhan, he is definitely a big enemy, so she looked at a box of precious jade and precious porcelain sent over, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "King Lijun is too expensive, it's just a birthday banquet, the palace originally discussed with the emperor, this year's vicissitudes are eventful, I don't want to hold a big banquet, I didn't expect the emperor to pity, so I let you come to congratulate, speaking of which, the gift of the second prince is too unexpected for the palace." ”
Mu Qingya laughed secretly in her heart, Xia Jingyan said that what she said was really level, while saying that she didn't want to hold a big banquet reflected her love for the people and benevolence, and on the other hand, she named Mo Junwei's birthday gift as too valuable, obviously with strong financial resources, and it may be a big hidden danger, so she put Mo Junyan in a position for Mo Ao to guard against.
Sure enough, Mo Ao, who originally wanted to praise Mo Junwei twice, suddenly turned a little gloomy.
Mo Junwei was also annoyed in his heart, the things he gave were extremely regular, and he had also given gifts according to this old calendar over the years, but he didn't expect Xia Jingyan to be able to make a fuss about this, which was really annoying.
"What your mother and concubine taught us is that our father has always taught us to pay attention to filial piety, and the sons and daughters who offer these birthday gifts can be regarded as fulfilling their filial piety."
Mo Ao waved his hand to let him go down, but he didn't say anything.
The gift given by Mo Junqing was much more shabby than Mo Junqing, although it was also some valuable things, but it was far inferior to Mo Junqing, so although Mo Ao didn't have much good face, he didn't get angry with the foreshadowing of the former, so he just nodded and let him retreat.
The gifts of the previous princes were similar, so that Mo Ao's face had not improved, and he felt more and more that the sons were less and less serious about him, and when so many things happened in the vicissitudes, he was still so arrogant, I just don't know what to do!
Feeling the cold aura on Mo Ao's body, a slight smile flashed in Xia Jingyan's eyes, and she motioned for her son Mo Junhan to offer a birthday gift.
Mo Junqing was young, but he personally walked forward with a big box, and his steps were a little unsteady, obviously the box was very heavy.
Mo Ao couldn't help but ask out loud: "Jun Han, what are you pretending to be here, why do you seem so heavy?" ”
Mo Junhan presented the box and said loudly: "Back to my father and mother, my sons and daughters are young, and they are not as good as a few royal brothers, so I only did my best to collect a gift in person, and I hope that my father and mother will not blame Han'er." ”
Mo Ao was interested in what he said, and personally lifted the lid of the box, and when he saw the contents inside, his expression suddenly improved: "Okay, it is worthy of being my good son, you have taken care of this gift, come on, take down the gift of the five princes and show it to you." ”
Mo Junhan's box was put together with a partition to form a hollow longevity character, and this longevity character was actually filled with four seasons and five grains in the middle, as if it was a harvest scene, and it looked particularly elaborate among many jewelry, porcelain, and silk.
"Back to my father, my sons just thought that Canglan had a lot of waves these days, so they collected these grains, hoping that Canglan would be peaceful and prosperous under the rule of his father."
"Okay, you have a heart."
Mo Junhan's eyes were shining and looking at Mo Ao who was laughing, his bright eyes were full of admiration, as if he was just a child looking forward to his father's affirmation, such an expression made Mo Ao's heart more and more happy, and there were also some of his sons who didn't care about power.
Mo Junhan's gift is considered to be the first among several princes, and the next is the gift of the female dependent.
There are not many people who can give Xia Jingyan a birthday gift on the spot, but Han Linglong and Mu Qingya are in this ranks.
