137. Liquor Order

There is still no news of Mu Yirou, but Mu Wanqing looks at Zhining's mental state is not bad, it seems that there is no shadow, and Mu Wanqing gradually forgets about it.

Since Mu Wanqing learned the lesson of the last time, she paid special attention to special days, she had already asked Gui Xin before, knowing that Concubine Yao De's death was only on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, so she began to prepare the sacrificial things. But it can't be publicized, otherwise it will attract people's handles.

When Mu Wanqing was incense, she couldn't help but feel a little touched, she had been here for more than a year, and she had gradually adapted to life here, but there were so many things that happened in the past year that she was almost overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Huo Chen was by his side.

She was satisfied.

Zhi Ning was burning paper money, looking at Mu Wanqing's sincere appearance, but there was a trace of guilt in her expression, and she couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Miss, are you unwell? You don't look very good. Zhi Ning asked worriedly.

Mu Wanqing was stunned, she touched her face, and then she barely squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine, have all the Buddhist scriptures I copied burned?" ”

"It's already burning." Zhi Ning replied, "Miss copies Buddhist scriptures every day, and Concubine Yao will naturally know Miss's mind." ”

The smile on Mu Wanqing's face disappeared, she just wanted to make up for her mistakes and make her heart better, in the final analysis, it was also the fault of this body, if she didn't do something, she felt that she couldn't get over it with a conscience. What's more, Huo Chen cares so much about his mother, and she has also fulfilled her responsibility as a daughter-in-law.

Just two days after Concubine Yao De's death, news came from the palace that Mu Yanrong held a banquet in Fengren Palace, which was considered a family banquet, and she and Huo Chen were also invited.

Mu Wanqing didn't want to go, but she couldn't find an excuse, so she had to follow Huo Chen to attend.

Huo Chen is the second son of Emperor Qi Wen, and he has been crowned king, and his status is naturally not low, he and Mu Wanqing sat down together, sitting under Huo Huan, and further down, there is the younger prince. On the other side, there is a princess who already has a title, dressed up in fancy clothes and gathering together.

"Be careful, Father's eyes are on you." Huo Chen whispered in Mu Wanqing's ear, "Don't look at Huo Huan. ”

Hearing a hint of sourness in Huo Chen's words, Mu Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled, only then did she look up at Emperor Qi Wen slightly, and saw that he was talking happily with Yufei, on the contrary, Mu Yanrong was wearing a red and gold double-layered Guangya long-tailed Luan robe, and then combed the Lingyun bun that the emperor could only comb, with precious ornaments, and sat next to Emperor Qi Wen with brilliance, but instead became a foil, the chill of the jade beads and jade was very inconsistent with the smile on Mu Yanrong's face.

"Why is there a family feast all of a sudden?" Mu Wanqing looked at the food and wine on the table and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, it seems to be the meaning of the queen mother." Huo Chen was also extra careful when talking in the palace.

Mu Wanqing sighed, looking at the group of princesses on the opposite side playing happily, the laughter was full of joy, Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing, and said to Huo Chen: "It seems that I have seen the princess for the first time." ”

"They are all spoiled by their father, and you used to have a good relationship with the second princess, but she has already married a small neighboring country, and now these girls will soon be married."

Mu Wanqing was stunned, even if she was a princess, she couldn't control her own fate, seeing their laughter, this might be their best time. They are golden branches and jade leaves, but because of the marriage of the country, they married in remote places, and everyone envied the emperor's family, but they didn't know that living in the palace was not a happy thing.

"Father, why don't you make a drinking order?" Huo Huan suddenly put forward his opinion.

"Okay, good, father, the eldest brother won the son last time, and the son will take revenge this time!" The fifth princess immediately responded, and glared at Huo Huan.

Emperor Qi Wen smiled and said, "Okay! Winners are rewarded! ”

With Emperor Qiwen's permission, the princesses rejoiced, and the eunuch brought a pitcher and placed it in the center, listing a row of narrow tokens made of metal.

"Brother Emperor, you come first!" The fifth princess came over and grabbed Huo Huan and pulled him out.

"Or ten each?" Huo Huan asked with a smile.

"Of course, those who lose will also drink ten cups." The eyes of the fifth princess are full of smiles, although the palace is big, but there are not many such banquets, she lives under the teaching of her grandmother all day long, she is already very tired, it is rare to have fun today, she naturally will not let go.

"Okay, don't cry when you lose."

The eunuch had already pulled the rope to prevent it from going out of bounds, Huo Huan held the token in his hand, stared at the pitcher intently, and threw the token out, the first token was in the middle of the pitcher, Huo Huan smiled, glanced at Mu Wanqing without a trace, and saw that she was still talking happily with Huo Chen, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"Brother Emperor, hurry up." The fifth princess shook Huo Huan's arm.

Huo Huan came back to his senses and cast the remaining nine more, except for one that was crooked, and it kept bouncing out of the pot.

The fifth princess couldn't help but feel a little lost, pouted and said, "The imperial brother threw himself into the eight branches, and he definitely couldn't fight the imperial brother." ”

"Xianghan, you haven't thrown the pot yet, how can you admit defeat first?" Mu Yanrong glanced at Huo Huan approvingly, and at the same time looked down at his slender fingers, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Queen Mother, it's not that Erchen admits defeat first, it's just that Erchen can only throw in six at most." The fifth princess Xiang sighed, and after a while, her eyes lit up again, "If the eldest brother can let Xianghan take a few steps, then Xianghan is still a little sure." ”

Huo Huan smiled dumbly: "How can this work?" Rules are rules! ”

"Humph! The rules are dead, but people are alive, so can't they be changed? Xiang Han was a little displeased, she glanced at Huo Huan and saw that Huo Huan was drinking, and hurriedly ran over, "Second Emperor Brother, why don't you help Xiang Han vote." ”

Huo Chen put down the jade cup, glanced at Huo Huan, and then said, "This seems to be out of order, right?" ”

"What's wrong with it, Father, the two imperial brothers have never competed, so it's better to let the two of them compete this time." Xiang Han suggested in a ghostly manner.

"Oh? That's a good idea. Emperor Qi Wen's eyes flashed with a hint of snow, this is the best time to test the two of them, why not.

"Father, it's better to let Qing'er do it for you." Huo Chen said that he didn't want to compete with Huo Huan, his face would be disgraceful if he lost, and he would be jealous if he won.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help frowning, she had never played with such a thing, how could she be successful, she glared at Huo Chen, not understanding why he pushed this matter on herself.

Emperor Qi Wen was very interested, so he agreed, and said: "Just have fun, Qing'er, you have to show real skills, your brother plays this, but he is a hundred shots." ”~
