As soon as Eunuch Li left, Mo Ranran, who had always been calm, could no longer bear it, and said to Mo Yu anxiously: "Brother, Lord Wei will definitely not let you go easily this time, why don't you claim to be sick and not go!"
She couldn't bear the thought of what would happen if something happened to her brother.
Mo Yu stood up with a faint smile on his face. He seemed so gentle but firm, "Ranran, it's okay. I'll take care of everything. If you claim to be sick and don't leave, it will be seen by the outside world that our Weiwu Hou Mansion is afraid of Wei Weiyan. How can we gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future?" After saying that, he left.
The reason why Yi Jinyi asked him to go was probably because he wanted to see his position. After all, he had been collecting evidence that could bring down Wei Weiyan for some time, but there had been no action at all. Even the current emperor would have become impatient.
Mo Yu looked at the blue sky and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Kyoto will not be peaceful in the future."
Goro silently looked at the kind and gentle man in front of him. Even though he knew that he had deep thoughts, he felt reluctant when he thought that his hands might be stained with blood in the future. He couldn't bear to let such a man touch the dirtiest thing in the world.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the Spring Banquet.
Mo Ranran got up early in the morning and dressed up. Such a banquet is not just about sitting together to eat a meal and enjoy the scenery. People involved have many complicated thoughts.
The group soon arrived at the Yaohua Hall, where the Spring Banquet was held. The banquet started at noon. Officials who arrived early and were familiar with each other were talking together, while the other side, which was blocked by a gauze curtain, was for the female guests.
The eunuch shouted loudly: "The mighty Marquis has arrived!"
The field was quiet for a second, and then sounds gradually emerged, but everyone's eyes were still vaguely looking towards the door.
Mo Yu seemed not to feel those gazes at all, and comforted Mo Ranran who was obviously a little uncomfortable beside him: "Miss Ruan is here today, go to the female guests!"
Mo Ranran nodded.
Mo Yu was led by the eunuch to his own position. He didn't know anyone in the court. He closed his eyes calmly and let the other people in the room look at him.
"The Minister of War has arrived!"
The atmosphere on the field became even more weird. The officials' eyes kept wandering around Mo Yu and Wei Weiyan. After all, everyone knew clearly about the grudge between the two of them!
Wei Weiyan walked over to Mo Yu who was sitting upright.
Mo Yu felt a shadow approaching and opened his eyes. Even though he saw that it was Wei Weiyan, there was no ripple in his eyes. He greeted him with interest: "It's Lord Wei. I wonder if you are in good health recently. Don't be discouraged just because your only son died. If you do that, I will be worried!"
Wei Weiyan couldn't help but coughed, and said gloomily: "Mo Yu, don't go too far!"
Mo Yu frowned and looked at Wei Weiyan who was pointing at him with displeasure: "Sir Wei, you should not go too far. I am kind and concerned about you, but you are pointing at me like this? All the ministers are watching. Be careful or I will report you to the emperor."
Mo Yu said with grievance.
Everyone looked at Mo Yu in shock. Could it be that this guy was still out of his mind as he dared to be so arrogant in front of Wei Weiyan
Wei Weiyan was also so angry at Mo Yu that he just turned around and left. He would settle the accounts between them sooner or later, so there was no rush.
Mo Yu watched Wei Wei and Wei Yan leave and sit in their own seat, only two people away from Mo Yu.
Mo Yu raised his glass to Wei Weiyan enthusiastically, but unfortunately he got a cold eye in return. Mo Yu didn't care about his expression and drank contentedly.
Mo Ranran was extremely nervous when he saw Wei Weiyan looking for trouble with Mo Yu, but he felt relieved when he saw that his brother was able to deal with it freely.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Ninth Prince has arrived!"
Mo Yu looked at Yi Jinyi and Yi Qingyu coming in, talking and laughing. It was truly a scene of family harmony. He chuckled in his heart. It was a pity that there was no family affection in the imperial family. It was just a deliberate display of harmony on the surface.
Yi Jinyi sat on the dragon throne and spoke, "Everyone, get up!" As if he had just seen Mo Yu, he said, "How is Marquis Weiwu these days?"
Mo Yu stood up: "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Yi Jinyi nodded, and the banquet began.
The status of those who can attend this banquet cannot be too low. Most people are thinking in a twisted way, wanting to see what abilities this mighty Marquis Mo Yu, who has just woken up, has.
Yi Jinyi watched the singing and dancing below boredly. It was the same every year. He had no interest in it at all and couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.
After the dance ended, Wei Weiyan glanced at the official next to him with deep meaning in his eyes.
Deng Jianzhang immediately understood what Wei Weiyan meant, walked to the middle, bowed to Yi Jinyi, and said, "Your Majesty, it's boring to watch singing and dancing like this all the time. I thought of an interesting way to play yesterday. I wonder if Your Majesty agrees."
Yi Jinyi's eyes sparkled, he sat up straight, and asked with great interest: "Oh, can you tell me about it?"
Deng Jianzhang bowed and said, "I heard that each of these noble ladies has talents. Why don't we let them show their talents? Of course, this is just a suggestion. The details will depend on the emperor and the ladies' opinions."
Since he joined Wei Weiyan's school, he naturally had to help Wei Weiyan solve his problems. Since the Minister of War Wei Weiyan and the Mighty Marquis Mo Yu were mortal enemies, then Mo Yu was naturally his enemy as well.
Wei Weiyan looked at Deng Jianzhang with satisfaction, then stood up and agreed, "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible. There are precedents to follow. It is also a good opportunity for the young ladies of the princes and ministers to show their talents."
Wei Weiyan certainly did take some action during this period, but the mansion was like an iron barrel without any loopholes. No matter whether he sent out assassins or secret agents, they could not enter the mansion. He underestimated Mo Yu. Since he could not deal with Mo Yu for the time being, he would start with Mo Ranran.
Hundreds of officials gathered at the Spring Banquet. If the only eldest daughter of the dignified Weiwu Marquis Mansion made a fool of herself at the Spring Banquet, it would be true that good news never goes out, but bad news travels a thousand miles, and even the "good" reputation of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion would spread.
Mo Yu had obviously thought of this as well, his face suddenly turned cold, but he had no idea what to do.
But at this moment Yi Jinyi agreed, and he had no choice but to agree, after all, this matter was reasonable.
