Princess Mingzhu's intention to adopt Mo Xuetong as her adopted daughter was announced early in the morning.
The matter of Princess Mingzhu’s treat had been decided a long time ago, but the reason was not explained. It was only in the morning that the whole princess mansion became busy with this matter, and then the matter spread out one after another, and the number of people who knew about it immediately increased like a snowball. , some are envious, some are jealous, some are ridiculing, some are doubtful...
Prime Minister's Office
Wang Xiuxiu's boudoir, she didn't go out after she came back last night. With Feng Jue's true secret guard's skills, it was not easy to kill a weakling in the boudoir who couldn't restrain a chicken. She thought about Feng Jue's real attack on her last night. After repeated promises, I felt elated, and the two lingered for a long time before they separated sweetly.
In order to prevent others from discovering the two of them walking together, Wang Xiuxiu cautiously left through the side door, so she did not know what happened at the back door.
But what happened early this morning came to her while she was washing up.
"The eldest princess wants to recognize the third young lady of Mo Mansion as his adopted daughter." The hairpin in Wang Xiuxiu's hand fell to the ground with a clanking sound, and her face suddenly changed in shock.
The maid who was combing her hair hadn't noticed anything unusual about her yet, and said with an envious smile: "No, the young lady is going to the eldest princess's mansion for a banquet today. I heard that there was a big event at the eldest princess's mansion today, even the people in the palace The empress has given her gifts, so Miss Mo San is really lucky to have become a member of the royal family. The eldest princess has no children, so everything in the eldest princess's mansion will not belong to her."
"Um, is Miss Mo San gone now?" Wang Xiuxiu took a long time to find her voice, clenched her hands under her sleeves, and asked calmly.
"I heard that we got on the carriage prepared by the eldest princess's house early in the morning, but that's right. Who wouldn't be overjoyed when something like this happens, so we have to go early." The maid smiled at Wang Xiuxiu in the mirror. asked. "What kind of bun will Miss wear today? Should she wear it in a ponytail? That way she will be the most beautiful."
"That's it." Wang Xiuxiu was confused and agreed with a stiff face. Mo Xuetong was not dead and nothing happened to her. So what should she do about yesterday? Will she leak it? If someone finds out He had a private meeting with Prince Ning, which was a big deal. For a moment, he only felt frightened and frightened, and he couldn't care less about what kind of hairstyle he would wear.
On the other side, Mo Xuemin’s yard
Mo Xuemin has been getting better and better these days.
Mo Huawen found a few scriptures from somewhere and asked her to copy them every day, saying that they were for self-cultivation. She was so angry that she almost tore up the books. The two big maids around her were gone, so she just copied them in the yard. Some second-class maids were given to her as first-class maids. How could these two have ink brocade? Ink embroidery is so useful.
Aunt Fang completely lost her power and was kicked out of the house by Mo Huawen. In Mo Xuetong's yard, there were several maids and wives who were close to Aunt Fang. Some of them were beaten to death, some were sold to others. Who dared to get close to Mo Xuetong? , her yard was already deserted, and if it weren’t for the sound of clanging temples being built outside, no one would have been seen.
The two gatekeepers also got the message. The eldest lady said she was cultivating her moral character, but in fact she was in confinement. They thought that she would never be able to make trouble again. Anyway, except for a few people inside, no one from the outside came to this courtyard. , simply made a cup of tea and sat on the porch chatting.
"The third young lady has such a good life. She unexpectedly caught the eldest princess's eye and became her daughter. That's a golden thing." A woman praised her.
"Of course, it doesn't matter who gave birth to the young lady. The legitimate daughter born by the madam is naturally different from the ones born by those vicious little women. Look at this one inside, what kind of upbringing does he have? He even killed a personal maid, then The maid is really a bitch, she can't find a good master." Another woman said sarcastically as she glanced sideways at Mo Xuemin's house not far away.
"No, a concubine will always be a concubine. If she wants to get up again, she will be suppressed at the bottom. When the New Year is over and the master marries a new wife, she will definitely be even less popular." The mother-in-law said to Mo. Xue Min pointed in the direction, Bu Xiaojin thought she was the master.
That bitch Mo Xuetong was actually protected again.
Mo Xuemin in the room gnashed her teeth in hatred, grabbed the half-copied scripture in her hand, and threw it on the head of the maid on the side without thinking, and cursed angrily: "You can't even grind ink, you?" What's the use of asking for you? Just die."
The paper brought all the ink on one side and hit the maid's body. Not caring about the ink stains all over her body, the maid was so frightened that she knelt down and cried: "Miss, this slave has never polished it before. I will polish it again for you immediately."
Mo Xuemin didn't have the time to listen to someone's explanation right now. She kicked the maid to the ground hard, picked up the tea cup next to her, and poured a cup of tea on the maid without thinking. Fortunately, this The tea had been brewing for some time and was not hot, but when she poured it on it, even her clothes got wet. In this winter, she immediately started to shiver.
Mo Xuemin angrily turned around and walked into the inner room. Gritting her teeth, she picked up the Sihe Ruyi two-person bottle beside her and smashed it on the ground. She never expected that Mo Xiu would choose to commit suicide rather than move the trouble to Mo Xue. On Hitomi.
If Mo Xiu desperately accuses Mo Xuetong of deliberately flattering his concubine, even if Mo Xuetong cannot be brought down, her reputation will be ruined. Of course, it is impossible for her to be adopted by the eldest princess as her adopted daughter and become a member of the royal family from now on. Seeing how she almost succeeded, how could Mo Xuemin not hate it.
Just a little bit, just a little bit...
She is not willing to give in, she is really not willing to give in!
The people in the capital knew about the envoy from the State of Yan coming to Beijing at Sishi, and they had already prepared to go down to the post house for the eldest prince of the State of Yan and his entourage to check in. A grand welcome banquet was prepared in the palace, attended by most of the senior officials of the capital and the female relatives. The eldest princess's marriage recognition party.
Mo Xuetong knelt in front of the eldest princess, bowed respectfully, and called "Mother."
She dressed up carefully today, wearing a light blue brocade embroidered silk gauze top with gold embroidery, a moon-white pleated Ruyi moon skirt, with bright and dark embroidered dots of red plums on the skirt, and a soft Luo woven gold flat embroidered Huansha shoulder cloth. A string of sapphire chains around the neck exudes the ultimate deep blue temptation like water.
Because I am still in the period of mourning, I did not wear a bright red color. The brightest color on my body is the circle of red plums on the skirt, which looks like blooming in the snow. Matching Mo Xue's slender figure, it is beautiful but not enchanting. , beautiful but not flashy, but also has a natural romantic attitude.
There is a smile in his clear and penetrating eyes, as pure and sweet as orchids, which makes people unable to help but be amazed.
There were many noble ladies in the capital who had never seen Mo Xuetong. They were naturally surprised when they saw her. She was still so young, but she was so graceful and delicate. How beautiful she would be in a few years. And now her status has risen, and some well-informed people are spreading rumors that she will be given a title in the palace soon.
Those who heard it were immediately in an uproar.
Being able to attend the royal ceremony and be given a title is not something that ordinary royal adopted daughters can get. This represents the importance of the royal family and the importance of the eldest princess. Those responsive ladies usually carefully plan their families. Is there a suitable legitimate son who can marry this princess who is about to be born? The look in Mo Xuetong's eyes was surprisingly intense.
Emperor Zongwen's decree was sent to Mo Xuetong after the ceremony was completed.
The person who sent the edict was actually Liu Xi, Eunuch Liu, the eunuch beside Emperor Zongwen. This Eunuch Liu was a figure that even the concubines wanted to fawn over. This shows that Emperor Zongwen really valued the eldest princess as his adopted daughter. This made the ladies There was a lot of chattering on the seats.
Sure enough, Emperor Zongwen granted Mo Xuetong the title of Princess Anping, and also wrote the royal title Dudie on the spot, which made everyone look enthusiastic.
After the banquet, Mo Xuetong followed the eldest princess into a garden. The first thing that caught her eye was a piece of brightly blooming red plums. Because spring was about to begin, these were the last red plums. Reflected in this piece of red plums were There are many calyxes that have fallen to the ground. When you step on them, it feels like you are stepping on a piece of fallen red, which makes people feel inexplicably sad.
"Tong'er, your mother used to like the plum grove outside Prince Jin's Mansion the most, especially those plum blossoms." The eldest princess stood in front of a plum tree, looking up at a plum branch that was piercing the sky. Somewhat sad, "At that time, I didn't have the ability to plant such a large plum tree for her, but now that I have the ability, she is no longer here..."

Her figure looked a bit desolate.
"Mom, don't be sad. My mother also planted a few plants where we live. Every time when the winter blooms, my mother will always move the couch to the window. The maid said that it will let in the draft and catch a cold, but my mother is never willing to leave. .”
Those plum trees are also red plums. Although they don't grow in patches like the eldest princess's side, they are still well taken care of. My mother and the eldest princess also like plum blossoms so much. Maybe there is some allusion in it.
There was a slight smile on the face of the eldest princess, but when this smile fell in Mo Xuetong's eyes, she felt very lonely, as if she was a twilight old man who could no longer see any life and was just dying, Mo Xuetong was shocked. , How could such eyes appear on the eldest princess who was only in her thirties? I felt a little confused for no reason.
I always feel that today's eldest princess is a little different from usual ones.
The eldest princess didn't say anything. She walked with Mo Xuetong through the residual red on the ground and walked slowly inside. After passing through the plum forest, there was an octagonal pavilion. There were some tea sets in the pavilion and there was a stove next to it. It didn't look like it. It looks like a long time ago, it must be a place dedicated to drinking tea and admiring plum blossoms on weekdays.
Appreciating plum blossoms around the stove, if you get a piece of snow, the scenery will be even more sultry.
After turning around the octagonal pavilion, walking through the corridor, and entering the room in the middle, Mo Xuetong felt cold. She pushed open the somewhat dusty door and found that the things inside were very messy. A gust of cold wind blew in. The edge of the window moved erratically, and a few scattered pieces of paper flew out.
The eldest princess reached out to take the piece of paper flying in the air, motioned for Mo Xuetong to come in and close the door.
The sunlight through the window sill fell on the ground. In the dusty light, only some scattered papers were seen on the ground, as if they were scribbles by a child. The eldest princess stood in the messy room, raising her head calmly. She walked over, as if she couldn't see this scene that didn't suit her status.
"Come here." The eldest princess stood in front of the chair and waved to her with a smile.
Mo Xuetong also followed the path taken by the eldest princess, avoiding the mess of papers thrown on the floor, and walked carefully in front of her.
"sit down."
Only then did Mo Xuetong realize that a table and two chairs in this room were actually clean, as if someone had wiped them every day. It was obvious that no one had cleaned the abandoned house. Who would enter it every day? Wipe this table and chairs, it's a very strange room.
The eldest princess sat on this simple chair with a calm expression, as if this place was still a big purple nanmu chair covered with gorgeous brocade. She stared at Mo Xuetong for a long time before smiling: "Tong'er, your mother Did you leave any jade ornaments for you?"
Jade jewelry? The eldest princess is looking for jade jewelry
These words were not light, but they were like thunder in Mo Xuetong's ears. If she hadn't concealed her emotions well, she would have been frightened and panicked at this time. (To be continued)
