It was spring, and the spring flowers were blooming in the eldest princess's mansion. Along the way, some flowers of various colors were blooming, the corridors and waterside pavilions, and the scenery were unique. The six of them talked and laughed without thinking, and walked inside together.
The eldest princess held the banquet in the inner flower hall. Since the number of people was small and most of them were close relatives, she did not avoid any suspicion. She simply opened only one table and placed it in the middle of the flower hall. Everyone chatted lively together and was very happy. .
The eldest princess sat in the first place. On her right were Feng Juexuan, Feng Juezhen, and Feng Juran. On her left were Ling Fengyan, Wang Yueyue, and Mo Xuetong. The arrangement was very reasonable according to age. Feng Jueran was the most satisfied. , he and Mo Xuetong were the youngest, and at the end of the arrangement, they turned around and happened to be sitting side by side.
"Aunt, you specially asked us to come here today, but what is there to eat?" He picked up some of Mo Xuetong's favorite dishes and said to the eldest princess with a smile.
"I know you like to eat, so I gave you fresh fruits first." The eldest princess pointed to the pot of watermelon in the middle with a gentle look. It was still spring at this time, and the flowers were blooming. , although it is late spring, it is definitely not summer after all. Having watermelon to eat is extremely precious.
"My father is indeed very kind to my aunt. It is not easy to transport the tribute fruits from the south. I heard that there are only a few baskets in the capital. We don't have them there, but my aunt already has them here. We can't hide our secrets today. , let us all try it together." Feng Juoran reached out and took a piece from the young eunuch's hand. After passing it to Mo Xuetong, he also took a piece, took a bite, and praised: "It really tastes good, father. The emperor is so partial!"
Didn't Feng Jueran deliver it? Feng Jue , deliberately forgotten!
I was not sure what Emperor Zongwen meant!
On the other side, Feng Juezhen also cast suspicious eyes on Feng Jueran, but that person didn't know anything about it and ate slices of watermelon without ceremony. In just a while, except for the watermelon he took out specially for Mo Xuetong, A few slices and half the pot was gone.
"You can eat more if you like, and so does your father. Even if he punishes you, he shouldn't deprive you of food." The eldest princess smiled and shook her head, and had the pot of watermelon sent directly to Feng Juoran. at hand.
"Auntie, when you enter the palace, tell your father how pitiful I am, saying that I can't eat well or sleep well now. I especially want to eat some fruits and my mouth is burning and blistering." Putting down the watermelon, Feng Jue said An expression of pity appeared on Ran's handsome face, and his handsome eyes flashed slightly, pretending to be pitiful on purpose.
The corner of Mo Xuetong's mouth twitched, this person really knows how to pretend!
I don't know who it was, but I ate half of the watermelon by myself yesterday, and it wasn't enough!
"I don't dare to tell your father that your mouth is full of bubbles. If you are like this, your father might beat you until your mouth is full of bubbles." Aunt Chang felt soft when she saw Feng Juoran acting coquettishly. , said angrily involuntarily. She has been a widow since childhood, and because of the secret of her life experience, she has never been close to others. However, Feng Jueran is a pester. He has pestered her since she was a child. In her heart, Feng Jueran is better than Mo Xuetong. This biological niece is quite high.
"Auntie, you love me the most. How can you not help me? I will just listen to my father in the future. When I recover from my injury, I will go to the previous court to help my father handle political affairs. This way, my father will not punish me." "Feng Juoran's expression was pure and innocent, as if it was just a moment of fun that aroused Emperor Zongwen's displeasure.
"You! You're like this, how can your father be at ease? Listening to politics is not something to play around with. Don't worry, your father will ruin everything in the future, but what should you do!" the eldest aunt scolded with a smile.
"Don't worry, aunt. I will study hard in the future. As long as aunt says something nice to me, my father will reward me with two watermelons." Feng Juoran said with a flattering smile, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and dark phoenix eyes. It was even more shimmering, dazzling, and extremely charming. Ling Fengyan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but cast her eyes on his unrivaledly handsome face, feeling dazed for a moment.
But he immediately lowered his head, covering up all the thoughts in the corner of his eyes, and there was a bit of coldness between his brows.
"Eighth brother loves watermelon so much. I have two in my house, so there is no need to disturb my father. I will simply have someone bring them to me later." Feng Juexuan smiled elegantly and waved to the people around him to come over.
"Brother, don't go to such trouble. Just leave what you have there for now. There are still some in Father's Palace. We must make Father not be partial." Feng Juoran smiled evilly, stretched out his hand to stop Feng Juexuan, and winked at him. The phoenix eyes had a joking look on their face, which meant that they had to get two watermelons from Emperor Zongwen to taste no matter what. It was quite childish, but it made people feel relaxed.
Feng Jueran must be used to freedom after all. How could he be asked to take any responsibility
"Okay, you!..." Feng Juexuan shook his head helplessly, smiled and said to Feng Juezhen, who was sitting next to him: "Cousin, the eighth brother is not in good health. Your house is a little closer to him. If you have nothing to do, just go and see him more, and you will save him from having to worry about it all day long, and make your father angry if you are not careful."
"Brother, there is no need to worry. The eighth brother has always been loved by the emperor. As long as he has not committed any major principled matter, the emperor will let him go. At most, he will only give me a light punishment." Feng Jue Zhenye said with a smile.
They were showing respect as brothers and sisters, looking happy and joking from time to time, as if they really didn't care.
Several princesses would chime in with a word or two from time to time, and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Wang Yueyue and Ling Fengyan were sitting close to each other, and they were both good and kind. Seeing that Ling Fengyan was inconvenienced, Wang Yueyue would pick up some vegetables for Ling Fengyan from time to time.
After the meal, the brothers went to the pavilion outside to talk and eat. The eldest princess left because of something, and the three princesses stayed in the flower hall to talk. They talked about what happened in the capital. Mo Xuetong was not familiar with it, so she listened for a while. He stood up and smiled at Ling Fengyan and Wang Yueyue: "Two Wangsao, I will go see my mother first. I will not accompany the two Wangsao since I have to serve our prince later."
She is the daughter of the eldest princess, and visiting the eldest princess is a matter of love.
"Brothers and sisters, don't worry. The eldest princess is busy right now and doesn't have time to accompany you. Why don't you just talk to us? It's rare for the three of us to get together." Ling Fengyan said with a smile.
"No, the eighth brother and sister are talking to us. How can my family be so particular? It's not too lonely for me and Princess Chu to be left alone. Several princes are also talking at the moment. I'm afraid it won't be long. No lunch break." Wang Yueyue came over and pulled Mo Xuetong to sit down, smiling affectionately.
Both of them meant to prevent Mo Xuetong from leaving. It seemed that if Mo Xuetong left now, he would not treat them as his family. With that attentive look, people who didn't know would think that they were not allowed to leave. They are really like good sisters.
But Mo Xuetong doesn't want to stay any longer. Ling Fengyan clearly has his own agenda. Judging from the current situation, Feng Juexuan is most likely plotting against Feng Juezhen. After all, Feng Juoran has accomplished nothing now and looks incompetent. It's really not worth the money he spent.
But just because Feng Juexuan thought this way, it didn't mean that Ling Fengyan would do this. Mo Xuetong didn't know what happened between Feng Juexuan and Ling Fengyan, but the obvious thing was that Ling Fengyan had paint on his face. The thick pink powder could not hide the haggardness underneath. The look he looked at Feng Juexuan was not affectionate, but instead showed a cold hatred. That look was like Mo Xuemin looking at Sima Lingyun in the past.
How could such two people have the same understanding!
It was not Mo Xuetong's style to suffer Chiyu's misfortune in vain, and she did not want to let the blame fall on her in vain.
"It's really difficult for me to refuse the kindness of the two princes' sisters-in-law, but my father specially sent someone to tell me to take good care of our prince. His leg injury is not healed. If he doesn't get a good rest and the root cause of the disease is caused, I will be fully responsible. It’s really hard to be the daughter-in-law of this royal family. If anything happens, it’s all my fault. How dare I neglect it? Next time the prince rests in the palace, I will definitely invite the two princesses to visit him. Please ask the two Sister-in-law Wang to show your respect when the time comes."
Mo Xuetong's words seemed to be self-pity and self-pity, and she sincerely asked the two of them to live in the house together, but in fact, they were talking about the emperor. None of them dared to disobey the emperor's instructions. A big hat pressed down on them, and neither of them could speak for a moment.
Ling Fengyan helped the maid stand up, walked to Mo Xuetong, stretched out her hand to hold Mo Xuetong's hand, with a smile on her face, and sighed: "Speaking of which, among our daughters-in-law, you are the most favored. , Your Majesty’s only heart is with His Highness Prince Xuan. I have a bottle of wound medicine here that I got from overseas. I heard it is extremely valuable and is said to be particularly effective against external injuries. You can bring it over to His Highness Prince Xuan for use later.”
Her hands were cold and greasy, as if they were coated with something. They were oily and slippery, and the grip was tight, which was very uncomfortable. Mo Xuetong stood up calmly, took two steps back, and avoided the situation. Ling Fengyan bowed her hand in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, Sister-in-law of the Emperor. I won't be polite. When the prince recovers from his injury, we will go to Sister-in-law of the Emperor together to thank my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Feng Jue was hurt. As his wife, Mo Xuetong could refuse other gifts, but this was the only one she could not refuse.
"You don't have to be polite." Ling Fengyan smiled and asked the maid next to her to present an opened box of plaster. The faint aroma was very refreshing. Ling Fengyan pointed at the light yellow and transparent plaster, as if she still wanted to talk. , Mo Xuetong asked Mo Lan to take it, covered the box, and left with a smile.
There was a cold and hateful smile in Ling Fengyan's eyes behind him! The resentment in his eyes is even deeper!
Even if she can't get it herself, she doesn't want others to get it!
Not far after walking out of the flower hall, Mo Xuetong took Mo Lan and Mo Yu into an empty room on the side. They took off the clothes on their bodies. As expected, they saw a faint oil stain on the sleeves of the wide clothes. If You really can't tell if you don't look carefully.

"Mo Yu went to the car and took off my clothes. Mo Lan wrapped the clothes and asked someone to take them back to the palace to find out what they are. Don't put them together with this." Mo Xuetong ordered, pointing at Mo Lan. The plaster in his hand said.
"Yes, I will go out right now, and call one of the secret guards in to take care of the clothes." Mo Yu nodded, knowing that the situation was serious, and hurriedly retreated.
Women from aristocratic families would bring their own clothes when going out to attend banquets, just in case something unexpected happens.
This smell made Mo Xuetong feel angry and her eyes turned cold. She would not smell it wrong in her previous life. The incense with this fragrance was burning in her room. It was not as rich as Ling Fengyan's box of plaster. She almost lost her child. Mo Xuetong was 100% sure that the oil on her sleeves was caused by the drug. If mixed with the smell of the plaster, the effect would be much stronger than in the previous life.
This is to cut off one's own heirs!
Is this her idea or Feng Juexuan’s idea...
But no matter who it was, she would never let them go. If she hadn't had a similar experience in her previous life, she would be in Ling Fengyan's hands today.
Sitting on the couch on one side, Mo Xuetong was still thinking about what to do next, when Mo Yu hurried in with the clothes she changed into and said in surprise: "Princess, something big happened, Princess Chu is dead. ” (To be continued)
