Chapter 37
Mo Xia looked at Lu Chenzhang with a half-smile, it wasn't considered persecution, but seeing Lu Chenzhang broke out in cold sweat, he raised his hands in surrender: "Ah Ya, don't look at me like that, you're panicking."
Mo Xia said slowly: "Then His Highness, tell me what happened yesterday?"
Lu Chenzhang's eyes drifted back and forth, obviously wanting to get away with it, but he couldn't hold back Mo Ya's overly hot gaze, and said helplessly, "Ah Ya, can I say it's okay?"
After finishing speaking, he immediately pushed forward, and felt wronged: "However, you can't blame me."
Mo Ya felt something was wrong, sat up straight, and his breathing became tense following Lu Chenzhang's anxious eyes: "Speak, I'll listen."
Seeing Lu Chenzhang's lips opening and closing, and listening to the thrilling scene in the imperial garden yesterday, Mo Ya exhausted all his strength to control himself from fainting.
Mo Ya looked at Lu Chenzhang with some trepidation. After holding back for a long time, he still couldn't hold back. He raised his hand and knocked on Lu Chenzhang's forehead, angrily: "Your Highness, are you crazy? Have you ever thought that if you plan toIf you fail, everything you have painstakingly worked on for so many years will come to naught and be wiped out."
Knowing that Mo Ya would be angry, Lu Chenzhang lowered his head, like a lost cat, and let Mo Ya beat and scold him: "Ah Ya, I know this method is a bit impulsive. But I'll make it up, nothing will happen."
"That can't be so risky." Mo Xia was furious, "It's fine if it's someone else. You are so courageous to plot against His Majesty. Your Highness, our current power cannot be foolproof. You put yourself in such a dangerous place, have you ever thought about it, what should I do?"
Lu Chenzhang looked at Mo Ya, as if he wanted to convince himself: "I've made up my mind, nothing will happen."
Mo Xia raised his hand and wanted to teach Lu Chenzhang a lesson, but seeing Lu Chenzhang's pitiful and helpless eyes, even though he knew it was fake, he still couldn't do it: "Your Highness, we have plenty of time, we don't need toSo anxious. Promise me not to take any more risks, okay?"
Lu Chenzhang has never been a person who rushes forward, but he doesn't know how stimulated he has been, and he has been acting frequently in recent days.
Although he didn't tell Mo Ya, Mo Ya could still feel the tense atmosphere in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Lu Chenzhang bit his lip and lowered his eyes. After a long time, he raised his head, as if agreeing to Mo Ya's request: "Ah Ya, don't be angry. I assure you, this is the last time. If you are not sure,I will never do it again."
Mo Xia glanced at Lu Chenzhang, stretched out his hand and touched Lu Chenzhang's lowered head: "Really?"
Lu Chenzhang raised his head and looked into Mo Ya's eyes: "Really, I will never lie to Ah Ya."
Mo Xia smiled, pushed the book away, and stretched his waist: "Your Highness made such a promise, so I naturally trust His Highness. It just seems that I have to go back to Mingxianghou's Mansion today."
Because Feng Yinxin is still living in Mingxianghou's Mansion, Lu Chenzhang doesn't want Mo Ya to go back at all.Hearing this, he said anxiously: "Aya, why is this? All right, why do you want to go back to the Marquis Mansion?"
What should do if was charmed by that little fairy Feng Yinxin?
Although Mo Xia lives in the fifth prince's mansion, he fantasized about the current chaos in Mingxianghou's mansion, and couldn't help laughing: "Mo Sizhen is also my younger sister after all, and the whole family is still alive after breaking bones."I'm stressed out, not to mention such a big thing happened. I have to go back and express my congratulations, so that my father won't use this incident as a raft again in the future, and accuse me of dishonesty."
Counting the days, Mo Ya hasn't seen Mo Sizhen for a long time, and when he first heard about her, Mo Ya even had the illusion that it seemed like a lifetime ago: "Your Highness, don't underestimate Mo Sizhen, if she herselfI don't have this idea in my heart, no matter what, she has a way to hide. Even if we have all kinds of tricks, it is not easy to drag her into the ditch."
Lu Chenzhang knew that Mo Ya had always had a high opinion of Mo Sizhen, so it was no surprise that Mo Ya admired his younger sister so much.
Inexplicably, Lu Chenzhang recalled that yesterday he was in the dark of the imperial garden, watching Mo Sizhen's just-right flirtatiousness when facing Emperor Delin's questioning, and the shyness of refusal and greeting when he bowed and left.Every word and deed, every action, obviously premeditated for a long time, all of them are provoking the string called morality in Emperor Delin's heart.
Then he laughed along with Mo Xia: "Yun Ding told me a long time ago that Miss Mo is not satisfied with the position of the eldest prince's side concubine. I wanted to help her and sow discord between Mingxianghou's mansion and the eldest prince. NoThinking of this move, I really made the right move. With Miss Mo, the palace will be even more interesting."
To Lu Chenzhang's words, Mo Ya simply didn't agree too much.
Thinking of the hustle and bustle of Yuanhua Palace and the First Prince's Mansion today, Mo Xia felt more at ease, seeing that Mo Sizhen was actually a little pleasing to the eye: "I heard that the empress had a headache last night, so I summoned the entire imperial hospital for consultation.I'm still wondering what's going on here. A good daughter-in-law has become a younger sister, so don't take a few more medicines to get rid of the anger in your heart."
Coincidentally at this time, Ah Si stood outside the door, bowing to Lu Chenzhang and Mo Xia: "I have seen Your Highness."
Lu Chenzhang asked, "What's the matter?"
Ah Si glanced at Mo Ya, and said: "Your Highness, someone from the Marquis of Ming Xiang has come to explain that Marquis Xiang has an order to order the Second Young Master to return to the Marquis's residence as soon as possible."
"Let's see." Mo Ya raised an eyebrow at Lu Chenzhang, "My father made a decision in just one night. Not only me, but the third brother in Hongjun Academy probably also received the news. This time we are called back,Afraid to tell us about it."
Lu Chenzhang was not surprised by Ming Xianghou's choice.After all, with Mo Sizhen, the eldest prince is considered useless, so Ming Xianghou should give it a go at this time?
"Aya, when you go back, don't be too indifferent, it's better to be surprised."
"I'll save it." Mo Ya's smile never stopped, "Over the years, I have gained experience fighting with them, so how can I let my father catch the wrong opportunity? Speaking of which, I am looking forward to this return home.Very good."
.........
When Mo Xia returned to the mansion this time, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was different from the past.
When they got off the carriage, it was the guard at the door. When they saw Mo Xia, they would respectfully call out: "Hello, young master."
Not the slightest bit of disdain or impatience.
With a rare happy look, one can tell at a glance that the Feng family, who usually manages the back house very strictly, probably gave his servants a lot of money yesterday.
On the way Mo Xia walked to the main hall, he heard many maids chattering about buying the most popular head flower in the capital.
Mo Ya's eyes flashed, and he passed through the arches of hanging flowers without moving his eyes, and came to the main hall.
No wonder Ming Xianghou was so anxious to call him back to the mansion today.
To receive the imperial edict, the whole family is not allowed to be together.
Mo Ya entered the main hall, lowered his head slightly, and looked around calmly.
As always, Mo Sizhen sat in her own seat wearing a gorgeous skirt, and wore precious jade pendants and hairpin rings.
The only difference is that the blue jadeite chalcedony on the head today and the flying jade girl bracelet on the wrist are all tributes, and they are very valuable at first glance, not something that the status of the Ming Xianghou Mansion can have.
Mo Feng's face was full of joy, sitting at the head of Ming Xianghou, talking to Ming Xianghou with a smile on his face, looking at Mo Sizhen with loving eyes from time to time.Suddenly caught sight of Mo Ya, and it was rare that he didn't have any yin and yang aura. Instead, he said happily: "Second brother is back, please sit down quickly. There is a big happy event in the house today."
Of course Mo Xia knew the reason why Mo Feng's face was so happy, but he pretended to be very surprised. After paying respects to the old lady and Marquis Ming Xiang, he asked curiously: "Father, I wonder what happy event happened in the house today? FatherHe called us all back."
Marquis Ming Xiang stroked his beard and looked at Mo Xia with rare kindness in his eyes: "Second brother is back, please sit down first. When your third brother returns to the mansion, we will announce it together as a father."
Compared with the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Hongjun Academy is farther away from Ming Xianghou's Mansion.
Mo Xia waited for almost a cup of tea before Mo Qing hurried in, and bowed his hands to Ming Xianghou and the old lady: "I have seen my father and my grandmother."
Turning around and bowing to Feng Shi again: "I have seen my mother."
Holding the tea, Mo Feng impatiently signaled Mo Qing to get up, as if he wanted Marquis Ming Xiang to announce the big happy event earlier: "Sir, sit down quickly, our mansion has a big event today, don'tIt's a delay."
Sitting next to Mo Ya, Mo Qing looked at Mo Fengshi, then at Mo Sizhen who was sitting beside Mo Fengshi, and asked Mo Ya with his eyes: What's going on?
With his eyesight, of course, he also saw that Mo Sizhen was overdressed today.
I don't know, thought Mo Sizhen was going to enter the palace draft.
Mo Xia leisurely and kindly returned a look to Mo Qing.Basically, you'll find out later.
Mo Qing was uneasy at first, and he didn't know why Ming Xianghou was in such a hurry.Looking at Mo Ya's appearance now, he felt relieved.
The second brother is so indifferent, it is obvious that this event is indeed a rare happy event.
Seeing that all the people in the mansion had arrived, Ming Xianghou cleared his throat, and looked at Mo Sizhen lovingly: "I think you all know that your eldest sister is going to enter the eldest prince's mansion as a side concubine."
Everyone nodded.
At the beginning because of this incident, Mo Feng's family showed off at the family's wife's flower appreciation banquet, and even brought Mingxianghou's mansion with a lot of face in the family.
"It's just that yesterday, your sister went to the palace to meet the Empress, and met His Majesty in the Royal Garden. Your Majesty appreciates Sizhen very much. After hearing the news for your father, His Majesty has already issued an order to make Sizhen a concubine in the harem. Today, you are all calledCome here because the imperial decree will come to our residence soon."
Mo Qing shook his hands, looked at Mo Sizhen in shock, looked at Mo Feng's family, and finally looked back at Ming Xianghou: "Father, is what you said true?"
Mo Xia's reaction was much faster than Mo Qing's, and he got up immediately: "Congratulations to father, congratulations to grandmother, and congratulations to elder sister. With elder sister entering the palace as a concubine, our Mingxianghou's mansion will flourish, and it is just around the corner."
Mo Ya's flattery can be said to have touched the hearts of Marquis Ming Xiang.
For so many years, the Marquis of Mingxiang's Mansion has saved face in Yuanhua Palace because of the Zong Sacrifice, but it has not been the most valued family in the lineage of the First Prince.
For this reason, Marquis Ming Xiang had already suppressed a fire in his heart.
Emperor Delin was in his prime, and judging by his current appearance, it might not be a problem to last ten or twenty years.
When Mo Sizhen enters the palace, if she can give birth to a prince, she can fight against Empress Cui in the harem.In the future, if Mo Sizhen's son can inherit the throne, the emperor's natal family, the Marquis of Mingxiang's mansion will truly be in a family in the capital, unrivaled.
Left and right, Mo Yunyang has already entered the court as an official, and with Mo Sizhen around, are you still worried about Mo Yunyang's future?
Mo Sizhen got her wish, and she was extremely happy in her heart.Looking at Mo Xia, she also lacked the usual tit-for-tat confrontation, but her tone was rare and gentle: "Speaking of which, I have to thank my second brother for this matter."
Mo Qing is not qualified to enter the palace, and he is not at the mansion these days, so he doesn't know what happened in the imperial garden yesterday. Hearing this, he was a little curious: "What does the elder sister mean by this? How did you get involved with the second brother again?"relation?"
Mo Sizhen was happy in her heart, and she didn't mind spending a little more time explaining to Mo Qing: "Yesterday, my second elder brother went to the palace to meet His Royal Highness Ye Bin and the Sixth Prince. I was in the empress's palace, thinking that my second elder brother is brother and sister anyway.Brother is usually busy with affairs, so it is rare to have this opportunity, so I have to meet him, so I went to Baocui Palace. Unexpectedly, I met His Majesty in the Imperial Garden."
What Mo Sizhen said was sincere.
Although she occasionally went to the palace to meet Empress Cui, she had never married the eldest prince and was not a member of the royal family.
Without Empress Cui's permission, in her capacity, she cannot go to the Royal Garden at will.
Yesterday, he was able to get away from Yuanhua Palace by reason of going to Baocui Palace to meet Mo Xia.
Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Mo Sizhen to meet Emperor Delin.At that time, becoming the eldest prince's side concubine would be a done deal, and there would be no room for maneuver.
Mo Ya sincerely wished Mo Sizhen, and her smile did not show a trace of hypocrisy: "This is the blessing that my sister deserves. It is also a coincidence that my sister went to Yuanhua Palace yesterday, and I went to Baocui Palace yesterday. My sister is also thinking about it."Only then can I see His Majesty in the Imperial Garden. It can be seen that God is moved by the friendship between us, and wants to help my sister and our Mingxianghou Mansion."
Mo Xia smiled with incomparable sincerity, and the amount of complaints in his heart was as dense as an erupting spring.Fortunately, under the persecution of Marquis Mingxiang, he has developed a good ability to say what he says.
This is why Lu Chenzhang asked him to go to Baocui Palace to meet Empress Ye Pin for no reason.
Lu Chenzhang knew that Mo Sizhen was not willing to be the eldest prince's side concubine.
Because Mo Sizhen's face is too unparalleled, even if she participates in the draft, she has not met Emperor De Lin, so she probably will lose the election because of Empress Cui's secret hint.
So knowing that Mo Xia entered the palace, would Mo Sizhen miss the rare opportunity to go to the Imperial Garden?
Emperor Delin has become obsessed with cultivating Taoism recently, and will definitely discuss Taoism with those Taoist priests in the palace.That's why Empress Cui let the female officer take Mo Sizhen to Baocui Palace with peace of mind.
Lu Chenzhang was well aware of Mo Sizhen's thoughts, and took advantage of this opportunity to trick Emperor Delin into going to the Imperial Garden in the future.
As soon as the two met, Mo Sizhen had a heart.Isn't this just a thunderstorm, a good show of your love and my wish.
It's just that Mo Sizhen's tricks are so good that Emperor Delin can't forget him with just one side.Even disregarding the ancestral etiquette, and without the queen's order, Mo Sizhen was forcibly named a concubine.
Mo Qing has always known that Mo Sizhen is the most powerful of Mo Feng's lineage.
Ben was also worried that Mo Sizhen's entry into the palace would further fuel Mo Feng's arrogance in Ming Xianghou's mansion, which would be detrimental to himself and Mo Xia.
Unexpectedly, Mo Ya did not show any worries because of Mo Sizhen's appointment as a concubine. He immediately understood that a favorite concubine in the Mingxianghou's mansion would only benefit Mo Ya and not harm.Immediately also smiled and said: "Congratulations, big sister."
Because of her slight gratitude to Mo Ya, Mo Sizhen also had a kind face when facing Mo Qing, and nodded in return: "Thank you, third brother."
Ming Xianghou likes to see the harmony in his back house and the harmony of his children.
This time, Mo Sizhen and Mo Xia didn't fight each other, Mo Yunyang and Mo Qing didn't have any secret thoughts, Mo Yunchao sat quietly in the chair, and even joked with Mo Xia occasionally.Ming Xianghou felt that this was his own credit, and smiled and told everyone: "It is said that you can't write two inks in one stroke, you brothers and sisters should get along like this, so that our mansion can stand up more and more. Today everyone is eating in the mansion., can be regarded as a celebration for this happy event.β
Mo Yunyang, Mo Ya and others nodded together: "Yes, father."
With that said, Marquis Ming Xiang looked at Mo Sizhen again: "If the elder sister enters the palace, it will be difficult to leave the palace in the future. Taking advantage of these days, you should be more filial to your mother and grandmother, and live up to their upbringing."Grace is."
Mo Sizhen held the handkerchief, and the hair on the cloud bun followed her nodding, hanging on the side of her cheeks, with the beauty of the sky and the moon, "Yes, father."
Mo Xia suddenly understood why Emperor Delin was attracted to Mo Sizhen.
At this moment, a young servant hurried in, knelt on the ground, mouthed his heaving chest, out of breath, and said, "Master, the imperial decree has arrived."
Marquis Ming Xiang immediately stood up and pointed at the boy: "Then why are you still standing here? Hurry up and inform the housekeeper, set up the incense table and the incense burner."
Because the imperial decree has not arrived, Mo Feng's heart is always a little uneasy, for fear that something will happen.Seeing that the angel had arrived now, the smile on his face couldn't even be concealed, and he said to Ming Xianghou and the old lady, "Master Hou, old lady, let's go to receive the order quickly."
Marquis Ming Xiang led everyone in the Mohist family to kneel in the courtyard, and everyone kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to the imperial decree held in the hands of the angel.
The eunuch who delivered the decree was Yang Dehai, the confidant of Emperor Delin.This is the most proud person in Qianming Palace. Usually, even the Cui family and Empress Cui are polite when they meet.
This time he came to Mingxianghou's mansion to deliver the decree, but he was not a bit arrogant, anyway, he said cheerfully: "The imperial decree has arrived, and Mo Sizhen will accept it."
Mo Sizhen knelt beside Ming Xianghou, and replied loudly: "The daughter of the people is here."
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Ming Xianghou Mo Chuhe's eldest daughter, Sizhen, is tolerant, respectful and chaste. I am very happy. From now on, I will make her a concubine, give her the title 'Xiu', and choose an auspicious day to enter the Lord LanYang Palace, hereby."
Mo Sizhen raised her hands above her head, took the imperial decree from the jade scroll, and bowed down to worship: "Thank you Your Majesty, the daughter of the people accepts the decree."
A little eunuch helped up the old lady and Mo Fengshi, and Yang Dehai also stepped forward to help Mingxianghou and Mo Sizhen up: "Master Hou and Concubine Xiu, please get up quickly."
The young servant who had been clever for a long time came forward with a purse in his hand.
Marquis Ming Xiang took a thick purse and stuffed it into Yang Shoude's hand, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yang, I hope that the little girl will be in the palace in the future, and I hope you will take care of me."
Yang Dehai didn't refuse, put his purse in his sleeve, and shook his head: "Hey, I dare not do it. The concubine Xiu concubine was conferred upon her in the palace, this is a real honor and favor, and the scenery is boundless. In the future, the concubine Xiu will be more supportive."The old slave is."
Mo Sizhen bowed her knees: "Thank you father-in-law for your guidance. The heat is unbearable, and father-in-law went in for a cup of tea, which is also a little sympathy from our Mingxianghou residence."
This is to find out what Emperor De Lin likes.
Yang Dehai politely refused: "Madam, this old servant will not drink this tea. Your Majesty attaches great importance to Madam, but he is still waiting for the old slave to reply earlier."
A female official stepped forward and bowed to Mo Sizhen: "I've seen Mrs. Concubine Xiu."
Yang Dehai pointed to the female officer and introduced: "This is Aunt Yaoyun, one of the oldest female officials in the palace. His Majesty specially asked Aunt Yaoyun to teach the empress before she enters the palace. The empress must not disappoint His Majesty's wishes."
After hearing this, Mo Sizhen immediately saluted Aunt Yao Yun, without any trace of arrogance of a young lady of the Hou Mansion: "I have met Auntie."
Yao Yun glanced at Mo Xia vaguely, supported Mo Sizhen's body, and said, "Your Majesty is a blessed person, I just hope that in these days, Your Majesty will not think the old slave is boring."
Yang Dehai delivered the imperial decree and Aunt Yaoyun, and prepared to leave Mingxianghou's mansion.
Mo Sizhen knew that it would not be easy to win over Yang Dehai, and she was not in a hurry, so she ordered, "Chuqing, give Eunuch a ride."
As soon as Yang Dehai took the little eunuch away, the Mingxianghou's Mansion, which had been bustling just now, became quiet in an instant.
Ming Xianghou first ordered someone to clean and arrange the residence for Aunt Yaoyun, and then said: "You all go away first. The second brother and the third brother have dinner, and then go back to the Fifth Prince's Mansion and Hongjun Academy."
The two said together: "Yes, father."
Mo Feng took Aunt Yaoyun's hand and smiled like a blooming rose: "Auntie, these days, the empress will entrust you to you."
Aunt Yaoyun withdrew her hand calmly, and saluted neither arrogantly nor humblely: "Madam, don't worry, this old servant will definitely do his best to teach Concubine Xiu."
On the way back, Mo Xia thought about Aunt Yao Yun's attitude, always felt a little weird, but couldn't put it into words.
After taking Mo Siyun to Aunt Xu's yard and telling Mo Siyun to study hard, Mo Qing and Mo Xia returned to Cangshan Pavilion together.
Entering the room, Mo Qing immediately closed the door, sat on the couch with Mo Ya, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, does the concubine Mo Sizhen have anything to do with you?"
"Forget it. This is His Highness's handwriting, and I only found out not long before I returned home."
Mo Qing couldn't understand it, and became emotional: "Second brother, what is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince trying to do? Your Majesty loves Mo Sizhen so much, if one day she gives birth to a little prince, we will really be finished."
Mo Xia looked at Mo Qing with a funny face, and said indifferently, "Ah Qing, what are you in such a hurry for? Your Majesty has eleven sons, and the first five princes are all adults. Even if Mo Sizhen really gave birth to a little prince, when he grows upIt will take at least fifteen years to complete. Who can tell what will happen after fifteen years?"
Ever since Mo Qing knew that Mo Sizhen had been named Xiupin, the anxiety in his heart had never stopped.
He didn't think the current situation was optimistic at all: "But judging from what my father meant, he obviously hoped that Mo Sizhen would give birth to a prince. In this way, the Marquis of Mingxiang can do its best to assist this child with the blood of the Marquis.Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and the dragon and the tiger are fierce, who can guarantee that Mo Sizhen's prince will have no hope?"
Mo Xia realized that he couldn't speak Mo Qing at all, thought for a while, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote a few words on the table.
When Mo Qing saw what Mo Xia had written, he was taken aback, quickly wiped it off with his sleeve, and looked around nervously: Second brother, how do you know?His Majesty......"
Mo Xia put her hand on her lips, signaling Mo Qing to keep silent.Looking at the water stains on the table, he took out a brocade handkerchief and pressed it.
After the table was completely dry, he said: "Your Majesty pursues the Tao of Taoism and longevity, and is obsessed with alchemy and Taoism. I heard that His Majesty takes the golden elixir refined by Taoist priests every day."
Mo Qing nodded: "That's right, this is a secret that everyone in the high school knows. But is there any problem with it?"
Mo Xia looked at Mo Qing, couldn't help it, and smiled meaningfully with his chin propped: "Ah Qing, I kindly remind you that you must never touch these things in the future."
Excessive heavy metals, even mercury, can indeed lead to longevity.
The kind of longevity that ascends to immortality.
