In the stargazing tower, Mo Ying sat on the tuanpu with her back to Mo Bai, her hair was scattered, and there was a faint moisture in her black hair.

Mo Bai stretched out his hand to summon a warm breeze to slowly dry his waist-length hair, and he picked up a wooden comb and carefully combed his dark and thick hair.

Mo Ying's cheeks fluttered, "Xiaobai, was anyone here just now?" ”

Tuanpu's position has moved, and there are traces of sitting on it, Mo Ying guessed that it should be a master, because no one can come here except Zhao Qingsong.

"Sir, I've been here," Mo Bai thought for a moment, and then said, "Also, the emperor, the prime minister." ”

"The Emperor and the Prime Minister?" Mo Ying was surprised, and subconsciously wanted to look back at Mo Bai.

"Don't move," Mo Bai pressed Mo Ying's shoulder, and his voice was soft: "It's not good yet." ”

Mo Ying sat down honestly and asked, "What are the emperor and the prime minister doing?" ”

Mo Bai slowly told Mo Ying about Li Yu's inquisitive path.

"Is the Emperor like that in the illusion?" Mo Ying looked puzzled and worried: "Then in reality, will the emperor also go astray?" ”

"Yes, no," Mo Bai couldn't assure, "probably." ”

Mo Ying hooked a strand of hair in front of her, and her fingers swirled: "If the emperor goes astray, can we still live a normal life?" ”

"Yes." Mo Ying replied with affirmation.

"That's good." The ink warbler relaxed all of a sudden.

Mo Bai told Mo Ying about the tea party in the court on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mo Ying was interested in the tea party but didn't dare to go, she was an ordinary and ordinary daughter's family, born in poverty, and the brand of inferiority had long been deeply engraved in her bones.

Even if she has now jumped on the branch and become a phoenix, she also understands that everything she has now comes from Mo Bai, and she is nothing without Mo Bai.

If she hadn't picked up Mo Bai on the snowy mountain that snowy day, she might still be huddled in a small dilapidated house in Liangdu, struggling to spend money on food all day long.

I'm just lucky.

Mo Ying often thinks like this, if someone else picks it up, the result is no different from now, it's just that the object of Mo Bai's combing is no longer her.

……

Since the completion of the stargazing building, Mo Bai has spent most of his time here.

In addition to the daily meal and bathing time, the ink warbler can only see Mo Bai when he comes to the stargazing tower at other times.

It's boring to be alone below, and Mo Ying will spend most of her time with books and pastries by Mo Bai's side, spending time with him.

Time passes on the stargazing tower in an instant, like a white horse passing through a gap, and the winter sun is like a bewitching and charming good girl, half-hidden on the horizon, shy and timid farewell to the world.

At night, the starry sky appears.

Mo Bai sent the sleepy Mo Ying back to the bedroom, and after the Mo Ying fell asleep, he returned to the stargazing building.

At the top of the stargazing tower, the silver orb shimmered with faint starlight, and it was not until the high-pitched rooster crow rose to the sky that Mo Bai slowly closed his eyes.

When you look up at the starry sky, the speed of time seems to speed up.

Listening to the crows of chickens in the city, Mo Bai thought about meaningless things.

Some chickens crow at night, and some chickens crow in the morning.

He likes to call from night to morning.

……

In Cining Palace, Xiao Wan'er stood in the courtyard, looking up at the edges and corners of the tall buildings in the distance.

Her figure was slightly haggard, her beautiful face was bloodless, she was fair-skinned and a little sickly, and in the cold wind, she was like a delicate little white flower, and the next moment she would be bent by the cold wind.

The stargazing tower is very high, so high that even if Xiao Wan'er is in the deep palace, she can get a glimpse of some majestic faces.

Every night, the top of the building will be flickering with faint starlight, falling in the eyes of lonely people, it is a beautiful view.

The origin of that conspicuous high-rise building, she naturally heard about it from the palace maid.

The coveted fairy fate, the way to ask the heart, these fell to her ears like the bizarre stories in the novel, and now it should be a story in the novel, but it really happened in the capital of Yanguo, under the high-rise building not far from her.

Between the unreal and the real, there are only a few palace walls.

The palace maid stepped forward with a worried face: "Queen Mother, it's cold, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Xiao Wan'er's expression was indifferent, she obviously felt that the weather was colder in recent days, even if she stayed in the house and was accompanied by a fire, she would suddenly feel a cold chill attack her body.

In the eyes of the palace maids, Xiao Wan'er's body is visibly thinner and thinner day by day.

The palace has sent a doctor to check many times, but I don't know how many people have been replaced, but no one has found out that it is the cause.

The foundation is weak, sorrow becomes a disease, and there are always a few perfunctory words back and forth.

Seeing that Xiao Wan'er didn't move, the palace maid said again: "Queen Mother, go back to the house, the imperial doctor said that you need to recuperate." ”

"......" Xiao Wan'er looked at the tall buildings in the distance.

For a moment, a thought crossed my mind.

If you leave the palace now and go to the path of conscience under the tall building, is it possible to change your life in the future? Even if it's only a 1 in 10,000 chance.

She shook her head and sighed, "That's it." ”

Compared with the possible result of complete despair, Xiao Wan'er chose to leave a glimmer of hope for herself, and there was still some hope for the visible hope, which could make her immerse herself in self-absorption and fantasy, and forget her troubles.

Back in the house, Xiao Wan'er sat on the bed, although she was slightly thin, her body was still plump, and her slender willow waist set off the plump and round of her buttocks.

Xiao Wan'er lowered her head and looked at the scroll in her hand.

The white-clothed man on the picture scroll was wearing a mask, and it was the ink white who sneaked into the deep palace that day.

This painting was painted by Xiao Wan'er herself, and she has tried her best to restore the appearance in her memory.

There is no other meaning in the painting, but the memory of that day is too deep, and the following days keep replaying in my head.

After living in the deep palace for a long time, Xiao Wan'er was the first time she saw someone coming in from outside the palace, and the man in white behaved strangely and stole ...... Swapped out her hosta.

She had to care.

"Being able to enter and leave the palace out of nowhere." Xiao Wan'er stared at the scroll, "Who are you?" ”

There were people visiting outside Cining Palace, and soon the palace maid entered the house and said to Xiao Wan'er: "Queen Mother, there is a tea party in the palace tonight, and the emperor invites you to participate." ”

Xiao Wan'er put away the scroll, she knew about the Chinese New Year's Eve tea party.

During the reign of the first emperor, she would attend the Chinese New Year's Eve tea party every year, sitting in an inconsequential place and being a transparent person.

On the contrary, what Xiao Waner looks forward to most every year is the tea party on Chinese New Year's Eve, because the snacks at the tea party are very delicious.

Xiao Wan'er is also happy to be a transparent person, eating snacks on the side, seeing the faces of the ministers, trying her best to please the emperor, sometimes the comparison between the courtiers is even more exciting than the song and dance on the stage.

"Got it."

Xiao Wan'er's voice was indifferent, this year's tea party may be a little special compared to previous years, because the emperor has changed, but she should not be affected.

The only thing to worry about is that the rose-colored hosta symbolizing the status of the Queen Mother has been lost.

For a formal banquet like the Chinese New Year's Eve tea party, Xiao Wan'er, as the new empress dowager, even if no one cares, what should be done still has to be done.

After all, the identity is there, and no one may care if it is done well, but if it is done badly, it will definitely fall into the mouth.

Besides, this is the first large-scale banquet event after the new emperor ascended the throne, isn't it not a shame to attend in a dress that is not serious?

Xiao Wan'er rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, it must be too late to find a substitute now, she only hopes that no one at the tea party will care about the details that she didn't bring the queen mother's hosta.

At dusk, Xiao Wan'er asked the palace maid to boil water.

After bathing, Xiao Wan'er was draped in a light veil, under the slim underwear, the curve of the waist and hips was perfectly combined, and she sat in front of the dresser and applied makeup seriously.

With fair cheeks, bright red lips, a high nose bridge, and delicate eyebrows and eyes, it is fresh and refined at first glance, and there is the charm and beauty of a mature woman under a closer look.

When everything was ready, she changed into a dark palace dress embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern and took a palace maid to the tea party.

The place where the Chinese New Year's Eve tea party was held was fixed, and Xiao Wan'er could find it without someone leading the way, she arrived relatively early, and found the arranged location under the guidance of the eunuch.

The position of the queen mother is closer to the emperor.

It was getting late, and people arrived one after another, and Emperor Li Yu appeared with his concubine, and everyone present stood up to greet him when he appeared.

Xiao Wan'er got up and made a greeting look, Li Yu didn't look at her at all, obviously she didn't mean to come over to comfort her.

Xiao Wan'er didn't think there was any problem, but it was much easier, if the emperor came, it would definitely attract a lot of attention for her, and maybe there would be sharp-eyed people who would find the problem at that time.

In addition to his concubine, there were two middle-aged people who came with Li Yu, one of whom Xiao Wan'er recognized as the emperor's teacher.

Gongsun Changquan has a high and powerful position, and has a close relationship with Li Yu, so his position is naturally close to the emperor, and it just so happens that he is next to Xiao Wan'er.

Gongsun Changquan looked at Xiao Wan'er, who was dressed up on the side, and said respectfully: "Gongsun has asked the Queen Mother for peace." ”

Xiao Wan'er smiled and nodded, trying her best to lower her sense of existence, and not speaking if she could.

Another person who came with Li Yu sat next to Gongsun Changquan, and across Gongsun Changquan, he got up and saluted Xiao Wan'er, and said respectfully: "Under Zhao Qingsong, please say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Wan'er maintained a calm smile, bowed her head, and said secretly in her heart: "Who? I don't know, sit down, I'm embarrassed that you're doing this. ’

Zhao Qingsong sat down and looked at an empty table, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Qingsong, Mr. Gongsun."

Princess Changping strode into the venue, came to the two of them and said hello, she looked at Xiao Wan'er, and said heartily: "Changping has asked the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

Xiao Wan'er nodded.

Princess Changping pinched as always.

Xiao Wan'er is very envious of her, she is free.

It was late, the moon rose in the east mountain, and tonight was a rare sunny day, cloudless, and the stars and moon could be seen.

After the emperor arrived, the tea party could officially begin, and the people with status and status were basically all present.

Staring at the delicate-looking pastries on the table, Xiao Wan'er mumbled in her mouth, and waited for a long time without hearing anyone in the main seat speak.

Xiao Wan'er secretly glanced at Li Yu.

Li Yu's face was calm, and his eyes fell on an empty table, as if he was waiting for something.

Xiao Wan'er didn't know why, and looked around suspiciously at all the people present, and found that they all looked at the empty table in unison, and some of them were a little anxious on their faces.

Gongsun Changquan poked Zhao Qingsong secretly, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Shangshu, why hasn't the national teacher come yet?" ”

Zhao Qingsong looked helpless, he was not an immortal, how could he know when Mo Bai would arrive.

Although Li Yu invited Mo Bai, he only handed over the invitation, maybe Mo Bai felt that the tea party was boring, so he didn't come?

Zhao Qingsong motioned to Gongsun Changquan not to worry, "Wait a little longer, Master Mo should come." ”

There was an inexplicable silence in the venue.

Xiao Wan'er had a question mark on her face, she couldn't really hear the whispers of Gongsun Changquan and Zhao Qingsong, and vaguely heard the words "national teacher" and "Mo Gongzi".

'National teacher, Mo Gongzi? Li Yu, this guy, shouldn't he follow his father's old path? Xiao Wan'er's face flashed with worry for a moment.

Suddenly, the stars bloomed in the night sky, and on the tops of the tall buildings in the east, the starlight lit up half of the sky.

Xiao Wan'er's pupils widened, and a conjecture that she couldn't believe appeared in her heart.

The next moment, a white figure appeared in the venue out of thin air, the person who came was dressed in white like snow, with fluttering clothes and ribbons, and the white mask on his face had a unique pattern.

Xiao Wan'er looked sluggish, her eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously shouted: "Thief!" ”

Although this exclamation was small, it fell in the silence of the venue like a stone into a lake.

Zhao Qingsong and Gongsun Changquan looked at Xiao Wan'er at the same time, with the same doubts on their faces.

Mo Bai naturally heard the exclamation, followed the voice and looked at Xiao Wan'er, who looked sluggish, and tilted his head in confusion.

He saw Zhao Qingsong sitting not far from Xiao Wan'er, and walked towards that side without thinking.

Xiao Wan'er had already recovered from her surprise, her face was pale, her teeth trembled, and she accidentally shouted, attracting many strange eyes.

For fear that she would expose something more, Xiao Wan'er lowered her head and suppressed her frightened heart, trying her best to maintain a calm and calm appearance.

Finding that Mo Bai was actually moving towards her, Xiao Wan'er's heart was surging, and she almost cried out in fear: 'Don't come here!' ’

Mo Bai stopped in front of Zhao Qingsong, his eyes under the mask were puzzled, because Xiao Wan'er's fragrant shoulders were trembling at this time, and her bright red lips were biting white.

Mo Bai's actions attracted the attention of those present, and almost everyone set their eyes on him.

Xiao Wan'er's strange appearance was ignored by everyone.

Knowing why Mo Bai stopped in front of him, Zhao Qingsong pointed to the empty table and chair not far away, and said, "Mo Gongzi, where is your location." ”

Mo Bai turned around and walked towards the position indicated by Zhao Qingsong, his position was a little special, there was no one around, and he was very conspicuous among the tightly arranged tables.

After Mo Bai took his seat, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became natural, and the tea party officially began.

Xiao Wan'er was absent-minded, and her attention stayed on Mo Bai the moment she appeared.

'National Teacher...... Mo Gongzi ...... Immortal ......'

She felt that her brain was a little dizzy, and the thief she was talking about day and night turned out to be an immortal, and he was also the new national teacher of Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Wan'er only felt absurd and indignant.

What's wrong with this world, can it still get better?

A dignified immortal breaks into the dormitory at night, can the gods bully people like this? When will mortals be able to stand up!

Chill the breath!
