"Father, the third sister has been communicating with people, but she still doesn't admit it. I just showed you the letter, and look at her, she still blames me." Mo Xue heard Mo Huawen's voice coming in from the door. With tears in his eyes, Qiong Li stood up and pointed at Mo Xuetong as if he had been greatly wronged, "I just wanted to ask who that person was, and the third sister scolded me."
At this moment, she poured a basin of sewage all over Mo Xuetong.
"Fourth sister, I was about to ask you who this person is, but you brought it to ask me, didn't you receive this letter?" Mo Xuetong said coldly. It came from a place like the imperial palace inexplicably. I don't know how stupid Mo Xueqiong is to actually dare to reach out and take this kind of thing.
The slightest mistake could lead to death, so faced with Mo Xueqiong's frame-up and provocation, Mo Xuetong didn't have much patience to deal with her. He didn't want to have a pointless argument with her, so he turned around and looked at her. Xiang Mo Huawen said: "Father, what kind of letter is it and what is it written?"
Being ignored by Mo Xuetong unceremoniously made Mo Xueqiong, who had always thought highly of himself, look very ugly. His face turned blue and white for a while. His delicate face could not hold back at that moment. He was about to get angry, but was coldly treated by Mo Huawen. He glared coldly, stamped his feet angrily, glared at Mo Xuetong, and finally did not dare to say anything, gritted his teeth and turned around to leave bitterly.
Mo Huawen handed over the letter in his hand and said: "Your fourth sister said that he is a richly dressed nobleman, about twenty years old, and asked her to give you this letter."
The letter was spoken, and Mo Xuetong knew that Mo Huawen must have read it, so she took it and took out the envelope.
I saw only a few casual words written on it: Qin Hui, I want to meet the lady.
"The Qinhui refers to the one organized by Mr. Bai?" Mo Huawen frowned and asked.
"It should be the piano party organized by Mr. Bai, but isn't his piano party a gathering for the ladies of the boudoir who are learning piano to communicate? Why are there other men participating?" Mo Xuetong didn't quite understand either. But since the letter said it was a piano gathering, Bai Yihao's piano gathering must not be what he imagined.
Not only had she not participated in it in her previous life, she had never even heard anyone mention it, so now she was completely confused.
Bai Yihao is unpredictable and unpredictable. The piano gathering he organized this time should be different from the last time, and it must have some purpose.
"Bai Yihao's Qin club is divided into two types: Nvqin and Yaqin. Nvqin is a single women's gathering, usually with other teachers as the mainstay, and the ladies can communicate easily, with no outsiders participating; the other is Yaqin, Some young celebrities of the time will be invited, and the ladies will also choose those with excellent piano skills. It is a real celebrity gathering, which is countless times more elegant than the female piano. Everyone at that time is proud to participate in Bai Yihao's Yaqin. .”
Mo Huawen himself was also an elegant person, and many of the people he interacted with were also famous people, so he was no stranger to these things.
"Bai Yihao invited you to the piano performance?" Seeing Mo Xuetong deep in thought, Mo Huawen asked.
"Father, what do you think of Bai Yihao?" Mo Xuetong suddenly asked, raising his smart water eyes to look at Mo Huawen, his eyes full of confusion and questions.
Mo Huawen was startled, and then understood what Mo Xuetong meant, and said: "Bai Yihao is a dragon among men, and he will never stay in the abyss for a long time."
"Since he will not stay in Yuanchi for a long time, he will definitely ascend to heaven. This time Yan State sent his eldest brother as envoy to Qin State. It is said that he is asking to marry the fifth princess of Qin State. If the eldest prince can really ask to marry the fifth princess , it’s really not good for him." Mo Xuetong said clearly, unconsciously stretching out his white fingers to draw circles on the table.
These words were not what a daughter of a boudoir should say. Mo Huawen was stunned for a moment and turned to the door. Only then did he realize that the door had been quietly closed, and all the maids inside the door had withdrawn. He felt clear in his heart. The maids in Weiyuan were very satisfied.
"Father, Mo Lan is guarding the door. No one will come in." Seeing Mo Huawen's concerns, Mo Xuetong said, the appearance of the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom, the real return of Ning Wang Fengjue, Bai Yihao's unusual movements, the four princes The undercurrent in the house is surging, and she must remind her father to stay alone.
The overall situation is unclear, and taking sides in advance will only arouse the jealousy of emperors!
Seeing that his daughter was so knowledgeable and cautious, Mo Huawen was slightly stunned and felt a little relieved. Tong'er was indeed a smart child and knew that the situation was not optimistic. What was even more rare was that he had the same idea as his own and looked at his daughter's tenderness. His face, which looked a bit childish, now looked slightly nervous, and he sighed inwardly.
"So Mr. Bai, as the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, will not let him succeed. Just like now, the emperor has no intention of marrying the fifth princess, or even the idea of marrying the princess. He only allows the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom to be among the noble daughters. Choose." Mo Huawen rubbed his head and said, looking a little tired.
This is really an upsetting edict, not to mention that he has a suitable and beautiful daughter.
"Father, don't worry. My daughter will try not to meet the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom." Mo Xuetong knew Mo Huawen's worry and said with a hearty smile, and suddenly she smiled a little coquettishly, "This palace banquet is over. It cannot be said that the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom has chosen the candidate for the prince's concubine."
"We haven't decided on a candidate. During this palace banquet, the Queen decreed that the eldest daughter from the Duke of Ming's Palace should be given to King Yan as his concubine, and the second lady from the Duke of Ding's Palace should be given to King Chu. There were also several people with different backgrounds in the harem. You're too tall." Looking at his daughter's innocent smile, Mo Huawen's heart tightened and he said sadly.
You Yue'e married the King of Yan, Ling Fengyan married the King of Chu, and several young ladies with low status also entered the harem. Is the Queen taking action? Isn't this the eldest prince's concubine selection banquet? Why did she go in the direction planned by the Queen? If she remembered correctly, the few people who entered the palace must be the ones who were kissed by the Queen at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Thinking that she almost entered the palace, Mo Xuetong couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. The queen did not look as gentle as she appeared on the surface.
"Father, what do you think?" Mo Xuetong raised her eyes and asked. After all, her father knew what was going on in the court. She wanted to hear what her father had to say and see if she could get some clues from it.
"If the Duke of Ming Dynasty is also on the side of King Yan, King Yan's advantage is slightly greater than that of King Chu. It's just that the emperor is in his prime, but the queen's move is inappropriate." Mo Huawen said with a headache, he was Jing Zhaoyin, who was in charge of the public security in the capital, naturally knew what the Queen meant by being the first to attack.
This matter has nothing to do with him. He only needs to be an assistant minister and a lonely minister.
But the Fuguo Duke's Mansion had to get involved. Due to the relationship between the Fuguo Duke's Mansion and Tong'er, it would be difficult for him not to get involved when the time comes. Tong'er is now the adopted daughter of the eldest princess. This was originally for protection. She, but at this delicate moment, Tong'er stood out in front of everyone because of her status as the princess, and Mo Huawen only felt a sense of crisis.
Because Tong'er's identity is too sensitive.
If the eldest prince of the Yan State cannot marry a duke, the Qin State will definitely prepare a suitable noble daughter for him. No matter what, it must be the legitimate daughter of a first- or second-grade official. Tong'er's own identity is a bit shorter, but because of the extra The status of the princess immediately made up for this lack of status and immediately made her the most suitable candidate.
It is most suitable for the princess to marry on behalf of the princess. When the king of Yan proposed to marry Qin, Princess Yun Ruochang was still the princess at that time, and she and another princess were the most suitable candidates, and then Shuanglan The princess was troubled by the King of Jin and disappeared, so she decided to marry Yun Ruo.
Thinking of this, Mo Huawen felt headache and nervous.
"Father, if the eldest prince really wants to seize the crown prince's position, he will definitely ask to marry the fifth princess. He hasn't spoken yet. It's just to spread suspicion. Besides, even if I recognize the eldest princess as my mother, Her Royal Highness will only She is a member of a powerless clan, and is completely different from the fifth princess who is the queen's direct daughter and has the support of Duke Dingguo behind her." Mo Xuetong smiled slightly and comforted Mo Huawen.
"Think about it, if the eldest prince really didn't care about that position, why would he come here specially? Besides, before he arrived, there were rumors that he would marry the fifth princess. Under normal circumstances, he might be afraid of Bai Yihao's destruction."
Mo Huawen was slightly startled and felt that it made sense.
"Then what does this mean?" After a moment of silence, he pointed to the letter on the table and asked.
"Being able to find the fourth sister at a glance in the palace means that at least someone is guiding her from behind and appearing in front of her openly without worrying about others seeing her gossiping. This person should not be from the Qin State, so he is not worried about rumors. If we go further, this person should He is from the Yan Kingdom, but I don’t know if he is the Prince of Yan himself." Mo Xuetong analyzed.
Following her words, the room suddenly fell into silence, and both of them began to think deeply.
The narcissus incense cauldron on the table exhaled wisps of light smoke, adding some floral fragrance to the air.
"Tong'er, you don't have to go to the piano club. If someone wants to do something by taking advantage of Bai Yihao's piano club, you'd better not act in vain. No matter what, your foot is injured, and there is a good reason not to go." Mo Huawen suddenly raised his head and made up his mind.
"Well, Tong'er listens to you." Mo Xuetong suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to take out a sachet from the side and handed it to Mo Huawen: "Father, this is a gift from my cousin. I specifically asked you to give this to me." When my father got it, he said that the one from last time was old and could be replaced."
In a few days, Xu Yan will be entering the house. He has already prepared the betrothal gift and other things, and is just waiting to pass the door. This is a reminder to himself.

"You girl..." Mo Huawen couldn't help but smile. Of course he didn't believe that Xu Yan had repeatedly asked Tong'er to give it to him. It must have been this girl who had to grind Xu Yan to get it.
"Father, when Aunt Xu Yan heard that you were so anxious to change the sachet, she did it after not sleeping well for two nights in a row. Father, you must cherish it." Mo Xuetong said with a smile.
Seeing the cute appearance of Mo Xuetong's little daughter, Mo Huawen's heart softened. He stretched out his hand to rub the top of Mo Xuetong's hair and cursed with a smile: "Ghost girl."
Mo Xuetong didn't want to attend Bai Yihao's piano recital, and she didn't have much curiosity to know who the person who asked her out was, but being able to pass the letter to Mo Xueqiong in the palace was definitely a sign of good intentions. of.
When Mo Huawen returned to the outer courtyard, Mo Yu hurried back, turned around and closed the door. Mo Lan still stayed in the outer room doing needlework, while she entered the room and went to Mo Xuetong's bed. She said nervously: "Miss, He Xia said she Reminding me of something, I asked Nanny Ming just now. Nanny Ming was hesitant at first and refused to tell the truth, but later I was forced to do something anxious and finally told Nanny Ming."
Recalling the expression on Aunt Ming's face that she couldn't tell whether it was nervous or panicked, Mo Yu swallowed her saliva and said nervously: "He Xia said that she seemed to remember that Madam had arranged a marriage for the young lady. Aunt Ming also said just now that, in fact, There is such a thing, the two families even exchanged betrothal gifts at that time."
After hearing such important information, Mo Yu's face changed with fright, and she didn't bother to ask any more questions, and hurried back to tell Mo Xuetong.
After following the young lady for a long time, she had never heard of such a thing, so how could it not frighten her. (To be continued)
