Chapter Ninety-Three: Passing the Hurdle
After Jun Shuyuan was hastily buried, she entered the cold winter wax moon that dripped into ice, and Yuehua nested in the Qingqiu Palace, not going anywhere, holding the brazier and holding the stove all day long.
There are frequent war reports at the border gates, all of which are good news. The guards or eunuchs who delivered the message held their heads high, and rushed all the way to the Qianqing Palace with their voices in their voices, and finally raised their eyebrows.
The lost land was recovered piece by piece, and Xiliang's soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated.
The Chang'an army seemed to be about to burst out all the anger that had been gathered in the past five years, just like the water that broke the embankment, surging down, under the leadership of Chu Mubai, with a bang, like a broken bamboo, forcing the Xiliang army to the edge of the desert.
On the day when all the lost cities were recovered, Mo Guhan read out the commendation to Queen Yuehua in the court, and attributed all the credit of this battle to Yuehua's wit and wisdom, meritorious deeds, and many beautiful words in the holy decree.
The queen mother recommended the young hero Chu Mubai, and the queen mother made suggestions, repaired the plank road in the open, and secretly found out the spies.
Then, many rewards were continuously sent into the Qingqiu Palace, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and for a time the grace was infinite, and others were envious.
The entire Qingqiu Palace was boiling, and they walked with cold eyes, with their sleeves and their heads held high.
Mama Wei said: "The emperor's move is really painstaking, helping the queen to establish her prestige in the court, so that the queen's position can be regarded as half of the sitting." ”
Everyone also said goodbye.
But Yuehua was bitter in her heart, and she was not half happy.
Mo Guhan's move is called a commendation, but in fact, it is tantamount to completely isolating her and pushing her to the opposite side of the Chang family!
After all, when the preliminary dust went to Xiliang, it was because of the secret instructions of Mo Guhan, who concealed Chang Zhiyi and the Empress Dowager, and seized the military power of Chang Zhiyi's people at the border pass with lightning speed.
At the beginning, things were arranged seamlessly, giving outsiders the feeling that Mo Guhan was acting angrily, but what kind of characters Chang Zhiyi and the Empress Dowager were, after thinking about it carefully, they would definitely be able to find the flaws, and then perceive Mo Guhan's suspicion and vigilance of the Chang family.
Now, Mo Guhan has given all these "credits" to Yuehua, and Chang Zhiyi and the Empress Dowager naturally want to count this account on Yuehua's head. Sowing discord and deliberately seeking power, it is still the Chang family, how does Yuehua face the Queen Mother? Facing the Chang family?
Not only the Empress Dowager, but when she heard that the Empress Dowager heard that Yuehua was participating in politics, she was also instantly like a great enemy, and invited Mo Guhan to Ruian Palace and preached bitterly. If it weren't for the victory of this flag, Chu Mubai would have made great contributions to Chang'an, but I was afraid that the Queen Mother would immediately summon the official and abolish the queen.
She was afraid at this time, when she was too scared, her chess piece was too hanging, and the so-called one step was missing, and she lost all the games, and it was really as Mo Guhan said, she was using her head as a bet. I was impulsive at the beginning, how could I be so bold?
Mo Guhan did this, was it intentional or unintentional?
Coupled with the fact that Jun Shuyuan was framed, Yuehua felt even more frightened, and she couldn't find any support in the harem.
Jun Shuyuan does not fight or grab, she is peaceful, such a peaceful person, but she still ends up in such a miserable end. What about yourself? I am at the top of the limelight, where should I go? To fight or not to fight?
She was cautious in front of Mo Guhan, once with humility and flattery, especially after confirming that Mo Guhan was the person who saved her in the maple forest that day, an inexplicable emotion rose in her heart. Even looking forward to it day and night, when he woke up and opened his eyes, he slept on his side, with a pure and serene face, as white as snow in the Tianshan Mountains, which instantly cleansed her heart of impetuousness and gave her a down-to-earth sense of security.
Now, Mo Guhan's discordant plan calculated her, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury, and the horror that brought her back from Jun Shuyuan expanded infinitely.
Jun Shuyuan's death originally planted a seed in her heart, which gradually sprouted and blossomed, making her reborn her cowardice towards Mo Guhan and the prosperous Forbidden City. Now his calculation makes her feel that Mo Guhan's warmth for her is to act on the spot.
Mo Guhan will not really trust her, even if one day, she and the Chang family are incompatible. His suspicion is not a seed, but in the years that the Empress Dowager has been in power, it has already grown into a towering tree, deep-rooted and cannot be uprooted.
In front of Mo Guhan, Yuehua regained her true temperament, smiled very calmly and detachedly, advanced and retreated, generous and decent, and her attitude was respectful and indifferent.
Mo Guhan took the initiative to come to Qingqiu Palace twice, and stayed for dinner, he didn't speak, Yuehua only bowed his head to eat, and occasionally did his duty to serve soup for Mo Guhan's cloth dishes, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the case was eyebrows.
He couldn't find fault with it, but his face became more and more heavy, and he occasionally snorted coldly.
The relationship between the two became delicate, and they stiffened for no reason.
Yuehua will think, how aggrieved should he be when he eats with him? For him, it's just an ordeal, right?
She secretly looked at Mo Guhan's face with a storm, and Mama Wei on the side frequently made her eyes, so anxious that she almost crushed the root of her teeth. Why is a person as smart as his master so dull and wooden when he comes to the emperor?
The more Mo Guhan ate, the more he felt that the food was the same as chewing wax, and finally couldn't help but drop the jade chopsticks on the table.
"Does the queen feel that dining with me is more uncomfortable than being tortured?"
Yuehua just stuffed the food into her mouth, and she couldn't chew it, so she swallowed it and stretched her neck: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
Mo Gu snorted coldly: "Don't dare? Are you so afraid of me? Where was the courage to fearlessly resist me on the street? ”
Yuehua thought, does he want to be afraid, or not afraid?
"I probably swallowed it into my stomach with the rice porridge that I got up every morning."
The corners of Mo Guhan's lips twitched twice, he was angry and funny, so he picked up the chopsticks at hand and continued to eat, biting the green bamboo shoots in his mouth with a "creak" sound.
He waited for Yuehua to coax him.
Yuehua picked up the mutton fat jade soup bowl in front of him, filled a spoonful of thick soup and wings, added two petals of verdant green coriander, and dropped two drops of Shaoxing red vinegar.
Annoyingly, he still didn't say a word.
"I'm not going to leave today."
Mo Guhan suddenly said something amazing.
Yuehua's hand trembled, and the golden sticky soup was sprinkled in the palm of his hand, fortunately, it was not too hot, so he hurriedly and quietly brought it to Mo Guhan, and then withdrew his hand and secretly wiped it with a handkerchief under the table.
Mama Wei was so excited that her eyebrows fluttered, and she couldn't wait to remove the food from the table immediately, turned around and went to make the bed and fold the quilt, and smoked the bed tent fragrantly.
"Okay."
When Yuehua said this word, her heart trembled, she was biting the root of her back teeth, and when she spit it out of her red lips, it was like a string with a trill.
When Mo Guhan saw her expression, he seemed quite reluctant, and his face sank a little.
"When you're with others, are you so silent?"
Yuehua didn't know who he meant by "others": "Yuehua has always been boring. ”
Mo Guhan stood up suddenly: "I'm afraid that the queen is only so boring in front of me, right?" I see that you usually talk and laugh and have a lot of humor. ”
There was already a hint of anger in his tone, Yuehua was secretly shocked in his heart, and he hurriedly got up, turned over and knelt on the ground: "The emperor is like the sky, and the concubine looks up like Tingyue, and she is in awe, and she doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”
Mo Guhan snorted impatiently, stared at her condescendingly for a long time, and walked away angrily. A touch of the corners of the clothes slid across Yuehua's face, and the gold thread embroidery on it was a little cold and hard.
Mama Wei almost wanted to beat her chest: "Why is the queen mother, why do you make the emperor unhappy every time?" In order to let the emperor turn over his brand, how much effort did others spend in the worship room? How did you push the emperor outwards in reverse? ”
Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and got up from the ground, but she was relieved.
She didn't want to be like this, she also wanted to smile at Mo Guhan, and be foolish and coquettish, but she didn't know when she would be able to pass Jun Shuyuan's hurdle.
She was afraid that she would involuntarily, and she took it seriously again as she walked.
