It turned out that when Gong'e served the wine, she didn't know how to be careless, she knocked over the wine jug on the tray, the wine was spilled, and Chang Ling, who was on the side, was full of smoke.

Gong E hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, Chang Lingyan stood up and smiled gently: "It's okay, be careful next time." ”

Then Mrs. Chang Lehou Lian took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, stepped forward to help her daughter wipe it, and let out another exclamation in surprise.

The people in the vicinity were attracted again, and they all whispered in surprise and a little surprised. Although the discussion was deliberately suppressed, it rose and fell, attracting others to follow their gaze.

There was no need for Yuehua to say anything, and the few concubines who were sitting on the table had already followed the sound of everyone's discussion to Chang Lehou, and their faces changed suddenly.

At this time, Chang Lingyan's open neckline, which was originally exposed as snow-white, vaguely showed a pink color, from the collarbone to the neckline, there was a faint begonia red line. If you look closely, it turns out to be a phoenix with wings ready to fly!

Moreover, the phoenix was lifelike, and it was gradually becoming more and more red, red as blood, appearing on Chang Lingyan's white and greasy softness, as if it was about to rise into the air.

Lian's face was full of disbelief, and he wiped it vigorously with the handkerchief in his hand, and the color of the phoenix did not fade, but became more and more red.

Chang Lingyan frowned slightly: "Mother's hand is lighter, it hurts!" ”

Lian just stopped: "Good and decent, how can there be a phoenix?" ”

Everyone was amazed.

On the throne, the Empress Dowager and the concubines had their eyes flashing and their expressions different.

Mo Guhan glanced at it indifferently, then lowered his eyelids, rubbed the wine glass in his hand, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Concubine Ling snorted coldly and muttered quietly: "Above the main hall, in front of everyone's eyes, it is really cheeky to be stared at by so many people." ”

The voice was not loud, and the Empress Dowager might not be able to hear it, but Mo Guhan and Yuehua could hear it clearly, especially the sarcasm in her words.

Regardless of the reason for Chang Lingyan's sudden abnormality, relying solely on Concubine Ling's immoral assertion directly belittled Chang Lingyan. The women in the palace have seen a lot of strange charmers from the palace people below, and their vigilance is relatively high, so they naturally broke Mo Guhan's good impression here with a stick first, so as not to have any more charming thoughts.

Yuehua also felt ashamed and embarrassed for Chang Lingyan under the scorching eyes of everyone.

Concubine Crane turned her head and asked with a smile at Yuehua, "Queen Mother, is your cousin born with this birthmark?" ”

Yuehua shook her head and said truthfully: "I've never heard of it." ”

"That's really strange, it's a coincidence, it's unheard of."

In the past, the battle was bloody, and several people with the tip of the needle smelled the smell of danger at the same time, and began to hate the same enemy.

Ya Concubine immediately picked up the end of the conversation, blinked her eyes as if joking, and said, "Isn't it a trick?" ”

A silver-haired and long-bearded official had already turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Mo Guhan and shouting: "Friends of the year, auspicious from the sky, God bless Chang'an!" ”

His words immediately attracted a chorus, and many people who were good at sneaking horses immediately found a suitable opportunity and rushed to be the first: "The old year and the new yuan, the phoenix is highlighted, this must be an auspicious omen, my Chang'an will be able to adjust the wind and rain in the coming year, and the country and the people will be safe." ”

Thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, especially such an auspicious scene, the people in the court like to make a fuss the most, used to win the favor of the king.

Before Mo Guhan could speak, the Empress Dowager was already smiling: "Well said!" God bless Chang'an! This is an auspicious omen. ”

The Empress Dowager said a word, and the concubines looked at each other, so they didn't dare to ridicule and talk about it anymore.

The Empress Dowager beckoned to Chang Lingyan: "Girl, come here, come to the mourning house." ”

Chang Lingyan was quietly pointed out and discussed by everyone, and he also felt embarrassed, his face was burning, he walked to the queen mother with his head down, and kowtowed respectfully.

"Come here and let the mourners take a look."

Chang Lingyan bypassed the case and stood still in front of the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and looked at it, her face full of pleasure: "Whoever can afford the blessing of this fire phoenix must not be an ordinary person, it is the dragon and phoenix among people, Your Majesty, do you say yes or no?" ”

With such a clear hint, the hearts of all the concubines involuntarily lifted up and looked at Mo Guhan.

Yuehua's heart was also dark, she clearly remembered that Shao Ziqing once told her that Mo Guhan's favorite queen candidate was Chang Lingyan, not her. It's just that the Queen Mother is in charge and has to marry. Today, the Empress Dowager has nodded her head in agreement, Mo Guhan's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and her heart must be full of joy.

She doesn't like Chang Lingyan, the two of them still have festivals, she knows Chang Lingyan's personality better than any of the concubines, if she is just arrogant and domineering, the key is that at a young age, she is ruthless, relying on the momentum of the Lian family, bullying other sisters in the house, her eyelids never blink, it is not easy to get along with.

Mo Guhan raised his head at this time, his eyes wandered over Chang Lingyan's face for a moment, and then glanced at the phoenix on her chest, nodded, and the hearts of the concubines all sank.

The Queen Mother's heart was even tighter, and she turned her back on everyone and looked at Mo Guhan frequently.

Mo Guhan was unconscious: "The woman from the Changle Marquis Mansion is the queen's cousin, so it must refer to a powerful family, and it is all up to the emperor's grandmother." ”

As soon as his words turned around, he scooped up the heart that had sunk in the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was afraid that the Queen Mother would go straight to the point again and say her plans, and she would not be able to argue with it at that time, so she quickly took over the topic: "It is a great blessing to be able to get your old man to marry in person." Does the girl have a favorite candidate? ”

Chang Lingyan raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Mo Guhan, lowered his head, and said shyly: "No." ”

The Queen Mother bent her eyebrows, turned her head happily and said to the Queen Mother: "If your old man has no suitable candidate, there is a young talent here in the concubine, and he is a good match for this girl." ”

Mo Guhan raised his head suddenly, and grabbed the wind of words: "What did the queen mother say, but General Chu Mubai Chu?" ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, obviously a little surprised by Mo Guhan's proposal, but she quickly obeyed his wishes and nodded: "Isn't it, just now your imperial grandmother mentioned it, the mourning family is still pondering this matter, and I feel that the battle here has delayed General Chu for many years, and it should be carefully given him a good marriage." ”

Yuehua's heart chuckled and became chaotic.

The Empress Dowager Shicai has repeatedly said something, wanting to force herself to marry Chu Mubai, although she has not yet had time to say it completely, but Mo Guhan has such a sharp sense of awareness, she must have figured out her and the Empress Dowager's intentions a long time ago, so she started first!

In Mo Guhan's opinion, Chang Lingyan was born in the Changle Hou Mansion, which was far away from the court, and the danger brought by the other daughters of the Chang family was less, which was the lesser of two evils.

But Chang Lingyan and Chu Mubai, absolutely not! With Chang Lingyan's temperament, she will ruin Chu Mubai!

The Empress Dowager's face also sank suddenly: "This girl mourning family looks rare, I wish I could stay by my side and wait, I promised it to General Chu, and the mourning family is really reluctant." ”

Chang Lingyan immediately knelt on the ground with eyesight: "Ling Yan is also willing to accompany the Empress Dowager and serve you wholeheartedly." ”

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to help her up, turned her head to Mo Guhan and said: "Suitable talent, the mourning family just wants to mention to the emperor about General Chu's marriage, the mourning family has many sons and nephews, and the granddaughters are also one in a hundred.

Only this Ling Yan, with an auspicious omen, the mourning family is unwilling to marry her. Besides, the queen also told the mourning family that this Ling Yan is not suitable for General Chu's temperament. ”

Mo Guhan turned his head to look at Yuehua, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and said with a deep meaning: "Is it, queen?" ”

When he spoke, the accent was so cold, it already had a warning meaning. At this moment, the person in front of her is not a warm and affectionate Mo Guhan, but just an emperor, an emperor who does not allow her to be disobedient.

Yuehua looked at the Empress Dowager again, narrowed her long phoenix eyes slightly, and glanced at herself as if she had inadvertently glanced at herself, which was meaningful.

Only then did she understand what it meant to be in a dilemma. The Empress Dowager forced herself to the top of the cliff, allowing herself to make a final decision between the two, completely breaking the affection between herself and Mo Guhan.

If she agrees to marry Chang Lingyan to Chu Mubai, then she will completely turn against the Empress Dowager and ruin Chu Mubai's happiness; If she agrees to keep Chang Lingyan in the palace, it means that Chang Lingyan may also become Mo Guhan's concubine, and she will definitely drift away from Mo Guhan, and she will never be able to gain Mo Guhan's trust again.

She didn't want to choose any of them!
