"Concubine Zhao invited me into the palace today?" Mo Xuetong asked in surprise.
Inside the brocade curtain, her long hair was disheveled. It was a lazy time to wake up in the morning. When she saw that Feng Juoran was no longer around, she sat up holding Mo Lan's hand.
"No, I came here early this morning to deliver the message. I heard that Concubine Zhao wanted to see the princess, and she also said that she wanted to see her daughter-in-law for Concubine Xian." Mo Lan didn't understand why Concubine Zhao suddenly remembered My own princess, but she didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly came in to report back.
Want to meet yourself on behalf of Concubine Xian? There was a hint of cold ridicule on the corner of Mo Xuetong's lips. Now she knew more and more clearly that this Empress Zhao was not a good person. How could she treat Feng Juoran sincerely? Of course, she couldn't just talk about it as if she were a sister. He was so affectionate that he said he would take care of himself for Concubine Xian.
But seeing her move like this, you can tell that she is a capable person.
By announcing her entry into the palace with such a big fanfare, she could show the emperor her deep sisterly relationship with Concubine Xian, and on the other hand, she could express her goodwill to herself and let people see her kind side. At that time, she was just an unknown concubine, and then she was sealed in the Mingyue Palace. Although she was mysterious, her reputation was not obvious.
Now he is officially related to Feng Jueran!
"Did the prince already leave when the eunuch conveyed the imperial concubine Zhao's decree?" Mo Xuetong asked lazily after washing and sitting in front of the dressing table.
"That's right. When the prince steps forward, the eunuch will enter the door with his back, as if he has calculated the time." Mo Yu interjected from the side.
Calculate the time? It's not just a matter of time. That person is probably worried that Feng Juoran will disrupt the situation. After all, Feng Juoran has a reputation outside, but he never plays his cards according to reason. He is just a demon king. No one knows what he will do next. Even though he is much better now and can be regarded as truly handling political affairs for the emperor, who can guarantee that he will not commit the same old habits.
It seems that Concubine Zhao is still quite afraid of Feng Jueran!
This also shows that I am a soft persimmon!
"Then let's have something to eat and go, and we won't have to wait for people in the palace." Mo Xuetong said with a faint smile, a hint of deepness flashed in her clear eyes. She actually wanted to meet the imperial concubine. , to see if there are any traces of what happened back then. In her previous life, Feng Jueran used such drastic measures to deal with the He family. She was a little frightened, so she hoped that she could find out what the He family had done before Feng Jueran. I'm sorry. His business.

Now that Concubine He has been summoned, it saves her any further thought.
The carriage and horses had been prepared outside for a long time. Mo Xuetong ate some porridge before leaving the house and getting into the carriage with Mo Ye and Mo Lan.
The little eunuch from the palace had been waiting outside. When he saw Mo Xuetong coming out, he respectfully greeted her and got into the carriage, and then followed the carriage into the palace.
After entering the palace, he followed the young eunuch, Mo Xuetong, to the Mingyue Palace. Mingyue Palace was a little far away from the main palace gate. It could be said that it was in a corner. However, when they entered the palace, they found that both the decoration and the layout were extremely gorgeous. It was obvious that Concubine Zhao was really favored, and she had seen some treasures from the eldest princess.
Standing outside the palace door, the young eunuch went in to report. Not long after, a beautiful palace maid about twenty years old came out.
"This servant is Cai Chun who is with Imperial Concubine Zhao. Please refer to Princess Xuan." Cai Chun looked at Mo Xuetong without any trace, stepped forward and bowed respectfully with a smile.
Mo Xuetong also looked at Caichun, confirming that the person in front of her should be the eldest maid who was following Concubine Zhao. Under normal circumstances, all the maids of this age in the palace would have been released from the palace. Only Concubine Zhao could not find her confidant and still used The harem has been locked up for ten years, and this lock has lasted for so many years.
"No need to be polite." Mo Xuetong raised his hand, and Cai Chun stood up at the right time and led the way.
Mo Xuetong followed behind, holding up her skirt step by step as she walked up the steps. She entered the hall and saw Concubine Zhao sitting in front of a high green pear wood chair, singing and drinking tea with her eyes lowered.
"See you, Concubine Zhao, and say hello to Concubine Zhao." Mo Xuetong stepped forward and bowed.
Concubine Zhao raised her head and seemed to have completely forgotten that one of her nieces behaved badly because of Feng Juoran. She smiled softly and said, "Get up, please sit down."
Mo Lan and Mo Ye, who were following behind Mo Xuetong, also formally came forward to kowtow. Concubine Zhao waved her hand to signal them to stand up.
Mo Xuetong helped Mo Lan sit down on the chair at the bottom. She glanced at the people in the room and saw several little maids standing behind Concubine Zhao. They all lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads, looking very respectful. They are only thirteen or four years old, and they already know in their hearts that these are the new palace servants sent by the emperor to serve Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Zhao raised her eyes to look at Mo Xuetong. Although she was still young, she had a certain aura about her. Her eyebrows were filled with autumn water, and the water in her eyes was flowing. She was a stunning beauty. No wonder Feng Juoran looked so beautiful. If you have a normal temperament, you will be attracted, but you are still a little younger and your actions are a little less calm.
"Princess Xuan is indeed young and beautiful. Yuran has such a princess, it is not in vain that my sister Izumi Izumi knows. In the future, I will burn incense and tell my sister so that she can rest assured." Concubine Zhao sighed, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. , looking like he was sad thinking of his sister.
Not wanting to hit the smiling person, not to mention that Concubine Zhao only wanted to be affectionate. Mo Xuetong raised her childish and innocent eyes and said softly, "Concubine Zhao is too polite. You have a distinguished status and are an elder. Just call Xue Tong by her name."
"Okay, then I'll call you Tong'er. I think my miserable sister would be overjoyed if she were still alive and looking at Tong'er. What a wonderful wife." Concubine Zhao sighed again. road.
The palace people brought tea, but Mo Xuetong just held the teacup without drinking, thinking about how to respond appropriately.
Concubine Zhao changed her tone. She put down her handkerchief and looked at Mo Xuetong and said, "Why don't Tong'er drink tea? This is the tribute tea newly given by the emperor. I heard that it only weighs two kilograms in this palace. I I brought some here."
Mo Xuetong put down the tea, bowed and said respectfully: "The tea here is really good, but I just had dinner earlier and I can't drink it for a while. It's a waste of the good tea here."
"It doesn't matter. You can take some back with you when you leave later. I usually don't drink tea, but I wasted some good tea. But Jue Ran likes to drink it. After he has eaten and rested, he will drink it. A cup is also good." Concubine Zhao became familiar with each other and kept the relationship in the most affectionate way.
Sure enough, Mo Xuetong just declined and accepted it.
"Tong'er is so simple. You are Princess Xuan. How can you dress up so plainly? I don't know, but I thought Jueran had treated you badly." Concubine Zhao looked at Mo Xuetong again, and finally her eyes fell on her. She said half-jokingly on her hair, and then ordered the palace maid behind her: "Go inside and get my pearl phoenix hairpins inlaid with sapphires and put them on Princess Xuan."
"Yes." The palace maid responded and walked in. After a while, she took out a gorgeous hairpin. The tall blue one was the gorgeous crown of a phoenix, and there were some other gems like broken diamonds. There were three long strings hanging below. The pearls, the pair of ruby-like phoenix eyes seemed to be alive, extremely beautiful.
You can tell at first glance that it is a treasure among treasures!
Caichun took it and inserted it into Mo Xuetong's hair.
Mo Xuetong ducked away in embarrassment. Mo Ye stepped forward and happened to stand in front of Cai Chun, blocking Cai Chun's hand.
"Why do you dislike the things I have here?" Concubine Zhao asked with a smile.
Mo Lan knelt down and said, "No wonder, Concubine Zhao, our princess has not yet made her filial piety, so she cannot wear such a gorgeous thing. It's just Concubine Zhao's preference."
"Oh, it turns out that there is such a thing. Caichun just asked Princess Xuan to bring the hairpin. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for me, but she didn't know that there was such a thing, and she caused trouble to Princess Xuan." Concubine Zhao seemed to He smiled nonchalantly.
Caichun obeyed the order and gave the hairpin in her hand to Mo Ye. She stepped back respectfully and stood behind Concubine Zhao, as if the rude behavior just now was not done by her at all.
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Zhao, for your understanding!" Mo Xuetong raised his eyes as if moved and said happily.
"Sister is not here, we are just two mothers, what's the point of being considerate or not?" Concubine Zhao became more and more affectionate, "If you have nothing to do in the future, come to the palace to see me more often. In this palace, you are the only ones who are mine." We are blood relatives. For so many years, I have always wanted to see Juoran, but I never expected to see him again. He is already married, so why doesn’t he remind me of my miserable sister, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable."
"Your Majesty talks about your concubine and misses her very much. I heard that Concubine Zhao and Concubine Xian had a deep love for each other back then. Now that I hear what the prince has to say, I feel moved too." Mo Xuetong's pretty face showed some sadness. , said softly, with a bit of girlish charm in her soft voice, as if it was incomprehensible to the world, and it was very suitable for her current age.
There was still a look in his eyes that he didn't know how to please her.
Hearing Feng Juoran talk about her deep love with sisters Xian Fei, and seeing Mo Xuetong's appearance, Concubine Zhao was secretly happy, touched the turquoise bracelet on her hand, smiled at Mo Xuetong and said, "My family Naturally, biological sisters cannot be compared with other families. Blood and family ties, broken bones and connected tendons, how can they not be unloving, so if a member of my own family enters this house, it will be better than other people's families."
It turns out that this is Concubine Zhao’s purpose, which means rushing to send people in...
Mo Xuetong frowned, feeling funny in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked like she couldn't understand what was going on in the clouds. She opened her big black and white clear eyes and looked at Concubine Zhao blankly, quite a bit. I don’t even understand the meaning.
Blinking her big eyes, she looked like she didn't understand, but she still followed Concubine Zhao's wishes obediently and said: "Isn't it just what the empress said, if someone of your own family comes into the house, they will always be taken care of."
Concubine Zhao smiled and nodded: "She is indeed a loving daughter-in-law. I heard that Juoran was very romantic in the past. Tong'er must keep an eye on him and not allow him to go out to mess with women again. The majestic prince, and He is the most beloved prince of the emperor. If he wants any kind of woman, he would go outside the palace to do something. If he does not ruin the reputation of the royal family, he will also arouse the emperor's anger."
This sounds like everyone is on Mo Xuetong's side, but in fact, the words contain accusations that Mo Xuetong is not generous enough, and quite a bit means to make the decision for Feng Juoran.
"Mother, could it be... Could it be that the prince has something to do outside?" Mo Xuetong stood up abruptly, looking frightened, and looked at Concubine Zhao with tears in her eyes. Mo Lan hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
"It's nothing serious..." Concubine Zhao looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak, flicking her handkerchief and frowning.
"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Mo Xuetong's face turned pale with fright, and the tears hanging in the corners of his eyes seemed to fall all of a sudden. He sniffed and his lips trembled twice before speaking again: "Please tell Xuetong, Your Majesty." What happened to the prince!"
Concubine Zhao was being cryptic and had something to say. Of course Mo Xuetong knew that she would tell him, but she would also make it more comfortable for her to say it! (To be continued)
