The next day was the birthday party for King Chu Feng Juexuan. The gifts had been delivered to his door yesterday, so there was no need to pack them all the way there today. Feng Juexuan was Feng Jueran’s eldest brother, and his relatives did not have to pay attention to formal etiquette, so their brothers Several gifts were delivered a day in advance.
The advantage of this is that it saves the hustle and bustle on the day of the birthday party. With their status, they don’t pay attention to whether the gifts are valuable or not. They usually give things from the palace, and every item is a treasure. There is no need to go with others. Competing for beauty and beauty will prevent others from thinking that they are overpowering them because of their royal status, and also avoid the fact that some people's gifts are relatively shabby in comparison.
Mo Xuetong actually didn't want to attend such a banquet. Ling Rui'er didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see Ling Rui'er. It could be said that the two of them had never dealt with each other since they met. He really didn't want to meet her at the banquet again. That person was an arrogant and ignorant person. If it weren't for the Dingguo Palace behind her, Mo Xuetong was 100% sure that Ling Ruier would have been thrown into the cold palace by Feng Juexuan.
How could the scheming Feng Juexuan really like Ling Rui'er, who was mean, arrogant and would cause trouble for him at every turn
But she couldn't avoid such a banquet. Feng Juexuan was Feng Jueran's eldest brother. As a sister-in-law, how could she not attend? Besides, something like that happened in the palace again. Although it was later proven that Ling Ruier What he said is nonsense, but there are some things that are nice to say but not nice to hear. Although the emperor has banned it, he can't stop people from thinking that way. He has to show his face to show that he is not guilty.
I heard that there would be rewards coming from the palace this time, which raised the level of the banquet a bit higher. This kind of banquet is not something that anyone can't go to if they don't want to go.
Mo Xuetong originally thought of going with Luo Mingzhu, but Luo Mingzhu politely refused to make clothes for the old lady that day, indicating that she was unwilling to go with her, so Mo Xuetong had to go with Feng Juoran. Let's go together, but this time Feng Juoran has already been beaten by Emperor Zongwen, and he will never be allowed to leave early.
No matter what, Feng Juexuan is still his eldest brother!
We were going to a banquet, so we couldn't dress too plainly. Mo Lan and others had already waited on Mo Xuetong to pick out what to wear.
Wearing a moon-white top with a light blue peacock skirt underneath, under the layers of beaded gauze, there are several enchanting Mandela flowers embroidered on it. This is what Feng Jueran requested. The top of his purple robe is the most beautiful. What I like to embroider is this charming red Mandela with its exotic beauty legend.
Mo Xuetong embroidered this beautiful and gorgeous flower on a light blue background, which immediately added a bit of vividness to her simple temperament. The pair of watery eyes in her dress became more and more charming, as if containing water and alluring. , with a wide girdle on the waist embroidered with flowers of the same color in light blue, the whole person is like a beautiful flower blooming quietly in elegance, showing natural charm and enchantment, but still retains her belt. Some cool purity.
All the maids were dumbfounded, and they only said that the princess was indeed the most beautiful. With such a dress, people couldn't take their eyes away immediately.
Feng Juoran is still wearing a flamboyant purple robe, and the Mandela on it is more colorful and red than the one on Mo Xuetong. His dark eyes are as bright as snow jade, and his thin lips are as bright red as ever. , with a lazy smile on his unparalleledly handsome face, he walked all the way, making the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law dumbfounded.
Such a graceful person, who is like a direct immortal, how can he not make people's hearts flutter.
Only Mo Xuetong knew that this person was not a direct immortal, he was clearly a monster. If anyone underestimated him, he would swallow up his skin and bones.
Today, the gate of King Chu is full of guests. Officials in the capital, no matter what their position is, as long as they can get along with King Chu, are here. The street outside King Chu's gate is full of all kinds of carriages. , this kind of grand occasion can be said to be unprecedented. The servants holding gifts followed the master, got off the carriage at a distance, and lined up to enter the Chu Palace.
When the carriage of Prince Xuan's Mansion came, I had seen it a long time ago and greeted it from a distance. The servant guarding the gate fawningly welcomed the carriage in and shouted loudly: "Give way, give way, Your Highness Prince Xuan." coming."
Hearing his call, the people waiting outside hurriedly got out of the way. The carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Mo Xuetong got off the horse, Feng Juoran dismounted and walked in together. The two separated at the gate, Feng Juoran Going to the front hall, Mo Xuetong walked back with the maid and walked to the flower hall at the back to rest.
The banquet has not yet started, and all the female guests have gone inside, and the female family members of the Chu Palace will entertain the guests. What Mo Xuetong did not expect was that Ling Ruier still occupied the first place as before, and Mo Yarui was accompanying her at the side. Also, Ling Rui'er is not only the daughter of Duke Dingguo, but also the dignified Princess of Chu.
If she is not allowed to come out in such a place, it will confirm the rumors about the palace. Neither Feng Juexuan nor Duke Dingguo want such words to spread.
It seems that Ling Ruier's imprisonment in the past few days is just a superficial thing done by Feng Juexuan. It's not that he believes that Ling Ruier has not been looked at, but that he has to believe that if he still wants to win over Ding In the Duke's Mansion, Ling Rui'er was the best bargaining chip. One of her chips had already been broken. He would never let her break this one.
The last thing Mo Xuetong expected was to see the Sixth Princess here. The Sixth Princess, who had always been gentle and elegant, was named after the gentlest and most popular princess in the palace. She usually did not attend many banquets. In the past, when the Fifth Princess was here, the Sixth Princess would The princess is like a shadow of the fifth princess, who never comes forward. After the fifth princess marries and gets married, the sixth princess slowly comes forward, but she has always been low-key and never quarrels with others.
Like her mother-in-law, Concubine Wen Guifei, she has learned the golden mean, is friendly to others, and never uses her status to oppress others. She is a rare princess in the royal family who is not unruly.
Seeing Mo Xuetong come in, she stood up first and said with a smile: "I have met the eighth sister-in-law, and I was just talking to the elder sister-in-law about the eighth sister-in-law. I didn't expect that the eighth sister-in-law came in."
"Sixth Princess, you're welcome. The Sixth Princess came very early today." Mo Xuetong smiled slightly and said politely. This Sixth Princess is really rare and she usually doesn't like to join in the fun. Today is so rare that she actually went out of her way to It was really rare for the palace to come out to celebrate King Chu's birthday, and one had to think deeply about whether the sixth princess's visit was a sign from the emperor.
If it is really the emperor's gesture, does it mean that the position of prince belongs to the king of Chu
Most of the people's eyes were focused on the Sixth Princess.
"The Sixth Princess came not too early, but Princess Xuan came late. I heard that Princess Xuan has always been in poor health. She usually doesn't wake up even after midnight. Could it be that the illness is not cured yet? Do you want someone to come for a diagnosis?" ?" Ling Ruier said teasingly from the side.
This is an extremely unpleasant thing to say. Even if there are no elders in the house, it is always against the rules of a woman for a matron to sleep until midnight. Besides, Mo Xuetong has been raising well these days. Although her face is still a little pale, she is not weak. The appearance of doing things. Ling Ruier really never misses any opportunity to tarnish her reputation.
"Thank you very much for your concern, Princess Chu. It's just a minor illness, not a big deal. I'm really sorry for coming late today. Our prince specifically said that he would come later. He said that it was a good time to come, and he could also accompany His Royal Highness Prince Chu to meet guests." Mo. Xuetong smiled softly and said in a good-tempered manner without arguing.
Compared with Ling Rui'er's attitude, her attitude immediately made people feel that Princess Chu was not generous enough and seemed a bit petty.
"Princess Xuan, please have tea. I heard that Prince Xuan specially invited many imperial doctors to take care of your health. Seeing that Princess Xuan's condition has improved slightly, His Highness Prince Xuan is relieved." Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Mo Mo Ya Rui hurriedly came over to smooth things over. She didn't necessarily want to help Ling Rui'er. In fact, she was hosting the banquet today. If anything bad happened, don't blame it all on her.
"Concubine Mo, you're welcome." Mo Xuetong took the tea with a slight smile, which was considered to have wiped away the trouble.
"Eighth Sister-in-law is in really good health? My predecessor, Brother Bago, was still asking the imperial doctor in the palace. He didn't seem to be too relieved, but he actually asked the mother-in-law to ask about Eighth Sister-in-law's health." The Sixth Princess seemed to be interested in Mo Xue. Tong's illness became interesting, she turned her head to look at Mo Xuetong and asked with a smile.
Mo Xuetong was feeling unwell a while ago, and Feng Juoran kept running to the palace, making everyone in the palace aware of it. It was natural that the Sixth Princess would ask about this, and she responded with a smile: "It's not really a serious illness. , It’s just that my body has been weak since I was a child, and I didn’t take care of it well when I was a child, which caused the root cause of the disease. This delay has actually made it worse. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong now, and it will be over after a while of treatment.”
Ling Rui'er sat aside and wanted to answer this, but was pulled by a woman standing next to her, so she couldn't bear it. She must not be stupid to that extent. After all, she is the master, the majestic Princess Chu After being looked down upon, even the Sixth Princess actually talked to Mo Xuetong affectionately and left her alone as a woman. How could she not be angry
Fortunately, she didn't think much of the Sixth Princess. Her cousin was the real princess. A Sixth Princess with little power could only say a few words.
"The illness I had when I was young is not a minor illness now. Sister-in-law Eight, I have studied some pathology before. Do you want me to help you treat it?" The Sixth Princess asked very gently. She was taller than Five. The princess is taller. Although her eyes and eyebrows are similar, they are identical in other aspects. Her beauty is gentle, which is very attractive.
She is also enthusiastic and sincere. Of course, no one expects the Sixth Princess to really know how to see a doctor. It is estimated that she can tell whether her pulse is fast or slow. Taking the pulse for the general public does not count as medical skills. There are many people who know how to do it. It is mentioned in the book. , just practice shaking your own hand a few times.
"Does the Sixth Princess also know the art of discriminating between yellow and yellow? I have to ask for it." Mo Xuetong did not shirk, and raised her hand with a smile.
"In other words, I learned some things out of curiosity while reading the book, but I'm not very good at it. If something I say is wrong, Sister-in-law Seven will have to deal with it." The Sixth Princess smiled as she stretched out her hand to touch Mo Xuetong's veins. of tenderness.
It was indeed what everyone had guessed, but it was also something new for a public release.
The Sixth Princess checked her pulse. For a moment, the other ladies and ladies stopped talking and turned around curiously. This was the first time they had heard of it. Even Ling Ruier opened her eyes wide and looked at the Sixth Princess. This was the first time she had ever done this. I heard it once, and it was a real anecdote. A dignified princess could do such a thing. If it had been left to the fifth princess, she would not have been ridiculed to death.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Mo Xuetong didn't say anything, her watery eyes were filled with clearness and indifference. She looked at the Sixth Princess with her eyes slightly closed and her fingers expertly placed on her veins. A layman would watch the excitement, an expert would watch the door. Mo Xuetong herself He is an expert, and he can tell at a glance that the Sixth Princess is not just a show-off, and she actually has a bit of a noble demeanor like this!
In this way, he can really take the pulse!
This is really strange, I have never heard of such a thing in my life, and it is obvious that the Sixth Princess came here today to personally connect with her. What does she want to prove? Or does she suspect something
Mo Xuetong's eyes suddenly became dark, and her eyes fell calmly on the sixth princess's slightly furrowed eyebrows, but her hand remained motionless in front of the sixth princess! Waiting for her diagnosis and treatment! (To be continued)
