They were enemies they had never met before, but they had already met several times, one on top, one on the sidelines, one on the side of the attack, and one on the defensive with all his might.

Only now, the defending one is qualified to stand here and see the enemy.

The emperor looked at Mo Lingfeng openly, and under the constraints of red tape, he didn't look much, only looked at her eyes.

The pair of Danfeng eyes are exactly the same as Mo Qianlan, the black eyes are hidden inside, like starlight, with cold glow, like treasures, and pearls.

People's eyes are connected to the heart, and with such a pair of eyes, Mo Lingfeng is not a thing in the pool.

Offense and defense change shape at this moment.

The emperor looked away, looked at the prince, the king of Wei, and the court officials who came in with Mo Lingfeng, and said with a smile: "Our dynasty and Jin Yu have been in continuous wars, and there are many defeats and few victories, so that they can only defend to the death, so that their morale is frustrated, and the national prestige is sluggish. ”

Everyone immediately chimed in, followed by a lengthy and boring compliment, followed by another long reward.

Mo Lingfeng asked for the list of meritorious service for the soldiers, the head of the book was in his hand, and the end of the book was enough to land, and the emperor agreed to them one by one, and never rejected anyone.

The legs of the civil and military officials stood numb, their cheeks stiffened when they laughed, and their heads were dizzy when they listened, and they couldn't tell whether they were cold or hot, hungry or dizzy, in short, they were uncomfortable from head to toe.

So the loyal ministers and filial sons quietly changed their minds, and their faces also showed a little impatience.

Zhang Xianfeng, who was standing in front of him and singing, was full of interest, and he took the tune, and saw Wu Hongzhe, the privy envoy who had just passed his sixtieth birthday, swaying and swaying, and he was in danger, so he had to finish singing quickly.

Wu Hongzhe didn't know Zhang Fengfeng's pity for him, but just picked up half his life and prepared to participate in the palace banquet.

At the beginning of the palace banquet, it was a toss and bow, because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace banquet is placed in the Yanfu Pavilion, the musicians kneel in front, and the dancers shuttle through the hall, which is very festive.

In this lively scene, the dull and rule-abiding civil and military officials became lively, and they toasted to the full moon one after another.

Mo Lingfeng had already changed into women's clothes, sat in a group of men, and drank with the marigolds given by the emperor without restraint.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all men, and they have never seen women as officials, but they are uncomfortable, especially a few old stubborn, who only know that the female officials are in the harem, and they don't know that the female generals are in the previous dynasty, but they can't sneer at Mo Lingfeng, and the blood in their hearts is suffocated.

The king of Jiyang County sat with a group of clan relatives to play together, and after four quarters of an hour, when he saw the prince helping the emperor to get up and go to the official room, he picked up a glass of wine, walked sideways to Mo Lingfeng, and said politely: "General Mo, we have already met a courtesy, I am the most hospitable, I toast you." ”

Mo Lingfeng was drinking, but when he saw that he came to toast with bad intentions, he didn't take the wine cup, but raised the teacup: "I am injured, I can't drink more, replace the wine with tea." ”

The king of Jiyang County was originally looking for her joke, but he didn't expect to make her lose face at the beginning, and immediately stretched his face: "It's been more than a month, and you haven't recovered yet?" ”

Without waiting for Mo Lingfeng to answer, he immediately turned to the courtiers on the side: "In my opinion, it's not that he hasn't recovered, it's that General Mo is too young to drink, you see, he still wears a golden collar longevity lock, this battle feat——"

Everyone knows that the king of Jiyang County alluded to Mo Lingfeng's name, and there was silence at the banquet for a while, and the sound of talking and laughing was not heard, only the sound of drums was still there.

Just when everyone was about to see how Mo Lingfeng responded, Wu Jin, who was sitting a little farther away, put down the wine cup and said slowly: "When the wolf Juxu was famous in the world, he was eighteen years old, when Tan Guo was fair, he was eighteen years old, when Zhang Xuancheng made the fight against Jin Yu, he was fourteen years old, and when the winning official followed Zhang Xuancheng to make meritorious contributions, he was twelve years old. ”

The others were silent, and his voice was exceptionally clear in the music: "It is really nonsense for the king of Jiyang County to question his military exploits based on his age. ”

The king of Jiyang County sneered: "You are talking about men, which one is a woman?" ”

"Why should the general be the husband, the king of the county can't see the woman in his eyes, in fact, the woman is the cornerstone of the family and the country," Wu Jin disagreed, "Dazai Qianyuan is the sky, to Zai Kunyuan is the earth, the main road becomes a yang man, and the heavenly road becomes a yin woman. ”

He got up and bowed his hand to Mo Lingfeng, and took a deep look: "General Mo thinks about the country, goes in and out of the land of the long snake, the white horse is in danger, kills the enemy and breaks the formation, returns to virtue and meritorious, and the court has its own land of women and heroes. ”

Mo Lingfeng smiled slightly—in addition to her brother, there is another person in this world who will always stand by her side, whether she climbs to the top or falls into hell.

The fat face of the king of Jiyang County turned red.

He didn't understand the string in front of Wu Jin, he vaguely knew that Wu Jin was patting the emperor's ass, but he understood the string in the back.

The stinky bread seller dared to scold him for being a small!

He wanted to scold Wu Jin, but unfortunately his literary skills were not as good as others, and he wanted to do it, but this was not the place to move, he was staring at his two eyes and getting angry, and an attendant came over to change tea for Mo Lingfeng, and was shocked by the atmosphere in the field, took the wrong road, and actually passed by him.

"Dog, this is also the place for you to mess around!" He lifted his leg and kicked the attendant into the midst of the dancers, who disrupted the group.

The chamberlain crawled and crawled to him to beg for mercy, King Wei frowned, came over and grabbed the king of Jiyang County, waved his hand again, and motioned for the chamberlain to go away: "Uncle Wang, sit down, Your Majesty is coming back." ”

The king of Jiyang County said as he walked: "It is worthy of Wu Jin, who has not changed his original intention, he is a member of the third grade, and he has not forgotten the deep affection of the master and servant." ”

Mo Lingfeng is the master of Wu Jin, the master of the three-rank Hanlin Bachelor, where will he put His Majesty?

Everyone knows that the king of Jiyang County and Wu Jin are not on good terms, and when they hear such heart-wrenching words, they all sweat, I don't know whether they are pinching for Mo Lingfeng, or for Wu Jin, or they are afraid that His Majesty will be angry and affect the pond fish, so they pinch it for themselves.

While pinching a handful of sweat, a sense of contempt rose in my heart.

Wu Jin's background is too low, and there are also poor families among the officials, but they are all provided by the whole family, unlike Wu Jin, who acts as a hawker and slave.

No one noticed that the emperor was already standing outside the pavilion, watching the movement in the pavilion intently.

Wu Jin is not shy about her past, nor is she ashamed or regretful, and her eyes are calm.

He bent down to hold the pot, poured a full wine cup, walked to the Mo Lingfeng seat, and took a deep look: "The girl of the past, the general of today, the old master and the old servant, a new glass of wine, thank you for the kindness of the old days." ”

The rich and strong aroma of wine spreads between the two, and a little light on the wine cup is reflected in the eyes of the two.

Wu Jin approached Mo Lingfeng through the words new and old - in this pavilion, outside this pavilion, there are countless pairs of eyes, and countless people are snooping, he covers up his love, whitewashes his affection, and looks at Mo Lingfeng's outstretched wine cup.

In Kyoto, they are so close, but they are separated by mountains and water, and the only thing they can touch is two sake cups.
