As they talked, they walked towards the male guests. Actually, there weren't a lot of people at this banquet, but they still monopolized most of the powerful and wealthy in the capital.
After all, face still needs to be given to the birthday of the only legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although the banquet was held together, it was somewhat inappropriate to let such a large group of men stand together with the little girl, so the young men set up some tables on the other side to enjoy the view. Leng Jingcheng was talking to someone and saw Mo Yu approaching from afar. He went up to him and bowed.
He looked at Yi Jinyi next to him and asked, "Who is this?"
Yi Jinyi then spoke: "My last name is Yi, he is my cousin, I came here to broaden my horizons."
Before Mo Yu started to introduce himself, he had already found an identity for himself, otherwise when he came to attend a banquet hosted by a minister's son today, the desk would be piled with memorials.
Leng Jingcheng nodded at Yi Jinyi, looking at the very friendly man, smiled at him with two shallow dimples, and acquiesced to his arrival: "Welcome, both of you take a seat."
Leng Jingcheng spoke more naturally to Mo Yu. During their conversation, the two of them felt that they had similar personalities and gradually started to interact with each other.
However, Mo Ranran kept looking at Mo Yu, and seemed absent-minded when talking to Leng Ruoran.
"Ranran, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Leng Ruoran looked at her worriedly.
Mo Ranran came back to his senses: "No."
She felt relieved and couldn't help laughing in her heart. She was really worrying too much. The emperor's incognito visit was not a big deal.
It’s the men’s side.
As soon as Mo Yu arrived here, he was greeted by a familiar person.
Ruan Zhengqing: "My Lord, you are here too."
Mo Yu nodded with a smile.
He was the third young master of the General's Mansion. When Ruan Lanxin often came to see Mo Ranran, they gradually became familiar with each other.
Leng Jingcheng saw that he would not ignore Mo Yu and went to receive other guests.
Ruan Zhengqingshu always spoke in a careless manner. When he heard him introduce Yi Jinyi next to him, he felt a little strange: "My Lord, why have I never seen him before?"
Yi Jinyi looked at Mo Yu with a smile.
Mo Yu sighed in his heart and could only acknowledge this cousin: "This is my distant cousin. He just came to the capital recently, so you haven't seen him in the Marquis' Mansion before."
Ruan Zhengqing nodded in understanding and slapped Yi Jinyi on the shoulder: "Since you are the Marquis's cousin, you are my brother. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future. My martial arts are very powerful."
Mo Yu couldn't help but stroke his head when he saw Ruan Zhengqing acting like a good brother. He wondered how he would feel if he knew that he had patted the current emperor's shoulder today.
But Yi Jinyi was very cooperative and said, "Well, if I look for you in the future you can't refuse me!" It was obvious that he was in a playful mood.
Mo Yu could only watch their conversation with a smile, when suddenly a noisy sound was heard outside.
Mo Yu looked over and saw Leng Jingcheng and a man who looked three-quarters like him talking about something.
Ruan Zhengqing's voice came from my ear: "Sure enough, this young master is here to cause trouble again."
Mo Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruan Zhengqing: "What do you mean?"
Ruan Zhengqing looked around and saw no one, so he spoke: "The man next to Jingcheng is his illegitimate elder brother. I heard that his mother is very much loved by the Prime Minister and that he will be the legitimate son soon. This young master also regards himself as the legitimate son in the mansion. It's a pity that Jingcheng has to suffer his anger. There is no way to help with this matter, after all, it is a matter of the inner court."
Mo Yu understood it as soon as he heard it. Wasn't this just a case of doting on the children born to concubines
I don’t know what the two people said. After the young master left, Leng Jingcheng’s face was obviously not good. Even Leng Ruoran, who was next to the female guest, heard what happened and his face was not good at the moment.
Mo Ranran didn't know what to say.
Although the banquet went on normally, Leng Jingcheng and Leng Ruoran's faces were obviously not very good.
After Mo Yu and Yi Jinyi left, he stroked his chin and said casually, "It seems that Leng Jingcheng is a useful person."
Mo Yu nodded: "I understand."
The two chatted for a few minutes and then the carriage stopped.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace. It's time for you to go back." Mo Yu said respectfully.
Yi Jinyi glanced at Mo Yu with melancholy, as if to ask why you were so cruel to let him return to the palace: "Forget it, he can come out later anyway."
She stopped walking and blinked mischievously: "Cousin, I'm leaving first!"
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"
Yi Jinyi was in a very good mood and walked into the door that was about to be keyed.
When Mo Yu returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Mo Ranran came to greet him and said in a somewhat collapsed tone, "Brother, what on earth did the emperor come here for? He wouldn't be bored and come out of the palace to play with you, right?"
She has been observing for a whole day but still hasn't figured out what's going on.
Mo Yu pondered for a moment before speaking: "It seems that the emperor left the palace because he was bored." After that, he looked at Mo Ranran lovingly: "Okay, these things are not your concern, go back to sleep!"
Mo Ranran responded reluctantly: "Yes!"
For a period of time in the future, she believed her brother's words. The most honorable emperor would appear in their mansion every few days, and she went from being nervous at first to getting used to it later. Of course, this is a story for later.
At this moment, Mo Yu was thinking about what Yi Jinyi said when he left. Did he want to recruit Leng Jingcheng under his command
Mo Yu asked Mo Bin to collect information about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It only took a quarter of an hour to collect them.
Mo Yu asked in shock: "Why so fast?"
Mo Bin smiled and replied, "I thought you would be able to use it sooner or later, so I asked our spies to collect information about the dignitaries in the court, and now it has achieved some results."
Mo Yu looked at him appreciatively: "Okay, thank you very much, Uncle Mo."
Mo Bin went down quietly, collecting intelligence was his specialty.
Mo Yu looked at the message in his hand and smiled meaningfully.
Leng Jingcheng and Leng Ruoran were still young when the prime minister's original wife died, but it seems that there is something fishy going on, as if all this is inseparable from Hong, the mother of the eldest son of the Leng family. Now it is becoming more and more interesting.
On the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, after everyone had left, Leng Ruoran unconsciously called out, "Brother, what should we do?"
I don’t know if it’s referring to the present or the future.
Leng Jingcheng suddenly hugged the person in his arms: "I will never let anyone take away what we deserve." There was determination in his eyes.
Early the next morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion received a letter from the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion.
