"Okay, so beautiful!"
I don't know who sighed first, and everyone came back to their senses, but they still couldn't hide the shock and admiration on their faces.
It was almost dusk at this time, the light outside was already a bit dim, and the doors and windows on all sides of the room were covered with thick black cloth, not allowing any light to shine through.
However, the room that should have been as dark as the middle of the night burst out with dazzling colorful lights, which were so dazzling that everyone at the door was even coated in a layer of colored light.
“嘤…嘤…”
Suddenly two clear and long birdsong sounds came from inside.
I saw a prototype birdcage about one foot high and six feet wide placed in the middle of the room.
The birdcage contained a large bird about the height of an adult man.
Its head is a bit like a chicken, but it is more delicate and vivid than ordinary chickens. It has a long and sharp beak, a neck as slender as a swan, a slender body, and a long tail that curves into a beautiful arc. The ends hung to the ground.
The whole body is covered with seven-color feathers and emits dazzling light. It is the phoenix in ancient myths and legends.
Even everyone present had read more or less books about the appearance of Phoenix before, and they must have had their own imaginations about the appearance of Caifeng.
But when they actually saw the 'Colorful Phoenix', all their imaginations and guesses seemed so feeble. They were only shocked!
Mo Junyu watched from the side, feeling proud in his heart. He had specifically asked the bird messenger before, and the other person told him that the unique feature of the 'Colorful Phoenix' is that it is dressed in colorful clothes, and its whole body will emit seven colors of light in the dark, which can definitely bring a visual feast to people.
"Third brother, are you satisfied with Caifeng's condition today?" Mo Junyu asked Mo Junjiu deliberately.
After Mo Junyu got over the initial shock, his face turned ugly. He stared at Caifeng strangely for a while. When Mo Junyu asked again, his face became stiff and he said, "As long as Father is satisfied!"
Mo Xiangbin was indeed very satisfied and nodded repeatedly, "'Colorful Phoenix' is indeed well-deserved! Yu'er, you did a good job!"
"Thank you for the compliment, father!" Mo Junyu responded respectfully, lowering his face so that his expression could not be seen.
Over the years, as the prince, Mo Junyu was not liked by Mo Xiangbin. He scolded him a lot, but he didn't hear any words of praise.
This is the first time I have heard such effusive praise, but it was for taking care of a bird.
Mo Junyu only felt ironic in his heart, and suddenly remembered the way Mo Junyang directly called Caifeng a wild bird.
Tsk, isn’t it just a wild bird? It’s just that they take this thing too seriously!
"The prince is a steady man. With him taking care of Caifeng, your Majesty, you can rest assured!" Ling Ruiyin praised him at the right time, and Mo Xiangbin rarely nodded in agreement.
But Mo Junjiu was so angry that he glared at Mo Junyu fiercely, not daring to be discovered by his elders. He glared very covertly, like a thief, without any pain or itching.
Mo Junyu ignored him and made him so angry that his head was smoking.
Shi Qingxue watched the reactions of these people throughout the whole process, and the surprise and shock of seeing the 'Colorful Phoenix' turned into sighs.
The most ruthless emperor's family is full of drama!
"What are you thinking about?" A deep male voice suddenly sounded in Shi Qingxue's ears, startling her.
When she turned around, she saw Mo Junyang standing behind her at some point. She instinctively took a step back without responding.
Mo Junyang saw Qingxue's obvious avoidance and his eyes dimmed, but he did not point out and only asked the question again.
Shi Qingxue thought that it was impossible to tell Mo Junyang about those messy things. She blushed and shook her head slightly, "It's nothing."
She didn't want to talk about such embarrassing random thoughts!
Mo Junyang was only reluctant to say anything because Qingxue was still holding a grudge against him at that time. He opened his mouth but did not ask any more questions. His eyes were heavy, looking at the people in front of him who had their own thoughts, and he lowered his voice and whispered softly in Qingxue's ear. Said: "Tomorrow night, find an excuse not to enter the palace."
"What?" Shi Qingxue thought she had misheard, and raised her head without knowing why, and met Mo Junyang's deep gaze.
His heart beat rapidly, and he lowered his head in panic, and hesitated: "Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, and all nobles and respectable people are invited!"
The Shi family was invited every time, and Shi Qingxue was never absent. She thought Mo Junyang was wrong.
But Mo Junyang just looked at her with a complicated expression, and seemed to look through her at another person, as if murmuring to himself: "It would be great if you remember..."
If Shi Qingxue still had memories of his past life, he would know that nothing good would happen at Mo Xiangbin's 45th birthday party tomorrow.
Mo Junyang's other identity was revealed at this banquet, causing him to almost die; the battle between Mo Junjiu and Mo Junhao reached its peak tomorrow, with weapons clashing.
Although in this life Mo Junyang planned everything from the beginning and planned every step, his identity should not be leaked, but with the addition of Mo Junyu in the battle for the crown prince, and the other three countries interfering with it, it can make a pot of porridge!
Who gets into trouble! If Shi Qingxue remembered everything, she would definitely not want to get involved.
However, at this time, Qingxue listened to Mo Junyang's words and thought that the other party thought she was in the way. Her face sank, she glared at Mo Junyang in displeasure, and retorted angrily: "I'm really sorry to disappoint you. , I didn’t remember anything!”
"..." Mo Junyang paused and opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he did not explain to Shi Qingxue that he was not disappointed.
Mo Junyang was just a little regretful that she finally forgot about their past.
Seeing that Mo Junyang didn't speak, Shi Qingxue became even more angry, "I know you don't want to see me, so don't worry, I won't appear in front of you tomorrow, let alone say hello to you!"
After saying that, she felt something was wrong again! It was not her who took the initiative to approach Mo Junyang today!
It was clearly Mo Junyang who took the initiative to talk to her in the past few days, so I don't blame her!
Shi Qingxue became more confident, raised her pointed chin slightly, and stared at Mo Junyang with her big round eyes, as if to say: It's all your fault, don't blame me!
Mo Junyang could see the "implication" of Shi Qingxue at a glance, and couldn't help but find it funny, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Qingxue's head.
Qingxue cleverly ducked down to avoid his first blow. Just as she was about to protest, his big hand that came after him gently pressed her head on her head and rubbed it.
This sudden act of intimacy confused Shi Qingxue. She stupidly raised her eyes to look at Mo Junyang, and met his gentle and affectionate eyes.
Exactly the same as in memory.
It had been so long since Shi Qingxue had seen her that she stood there blankly, listening to the man say in a low voice: "Yes, it's all my fault, so just stay at home and don't come here tomorrow, okay?" "
'Be obediently... okay...' Such words seemed to have looping special effects added, constantly echoing in Shi Qingxue's mind.
It was getting louder and louder, occupying all her thoughts.
There was a final 'boom', and Shi Qingxue felt the heat rush from her heart, spreading from her chest down her neck to her face.
She was so hot that her whole body was about to explode!
Qingxue didn't even dare to look at Mo Junyang as she quickly moved aside to avoid Mo Junyang's hand as if she had been burned.
"Don't touch my hair!" He complained angrily, but mostly with an element of embarrassment.
Mo Junyang just smiled and said, "It's good that you know!"
Shi Qingxue stared, when did she promise Mo Junyang not to come tomorrow
However, under Mo Junyang's watery gaze, Qingxue could not confront Mo Junyang like she did just now. She hesitated for a long time and was speechless. In the end, she only responded vaguely and ran away.
Although Shi Qingxue was dissatisfied with Mo Junyang's unclear attitude, she still listened to the other party's advice. She planned to pretend to be sick to avoid tomorrow's birthday party.
Who would have thought that early the next morning, before she invited Dr. Qin to see her, the instructions from Shou'antang were sent to Dongyuan: at least two female relatives of the first chamber must attend the palace banquet.
There are strict rules for nobles to attend palace banquets. Generally, families will only bring the direct descendants of the eldest son to attend. If there are favored concubines who want to be brought along, then there are only as many direct descendants as there are to bring several concubines.
Take the Palace of the Kingdom of Shi as an example. Although Shi Jun and the three brothers are all legitimate sons of Shi Lei, Shi Lei has passed away and Shi Junhe inherited the title, so even if the Shi family has never been separated because Mo Shujun is still alive. The second master Shi Junfeng and the third master Shi Juncai can no longer be regarded as pure direct descendants, they can only be regarded as side wives.
Therefore, if people from the second and third bedrooms of the Shi family want to attend the palace banquet, they must have enough people from the larger bedroom. The second master, Shi Junfeng, has a dull temperament and has never been favored by Mo Shujun. He has never been able to enjoy such palace banquets, but the third master, Shi Juncai, has never failed to do so.
And this time, Shi Juncai and his wife, the second young master Shi Baozhao, and the fourth young lady Shi Baoyou all wanted to attend the third house, which meant that in addition to the male husband Shi Junhe and Wen Renchi in the first house—he was adopted by Shi Junhe, the theory His position is even more orthodox than that of Shi Baozhao - two more people are needed from the inner house to make up the number. It is no wonder that Mo Shujun would give such a "hard target" to the big house.
However, Dong Hui was less than three months pregnant, and she was an advanced maternal age. It was the time when the fetal position was unstable, so it was not advisable to move around and worry about it. She absolutely could not attend the palace banquet at this time. The only ones left in the big room were Shi Baoning and Shi Qingxue.
"Miss Leng Yan, please tell my grandmother that my mother and I are not feeling well and I'm afraid we won't be able to attend the banquet." Shi Qingxue did not intend to implement Mo Shujun's so-called 'target'.
But Leng Yan, who had always been very talkative before, suddenly became tough, with a cold face, and answered in a decent manner: "Liu Niang, please stop making fun of your slaves. Who dares to disobey the orders given by the eldest princess? Besides, participate in The emperor's birthday banquet is such a glorious event. Everyone else wants to go but has no right to go. How can anyone like you just say you are sick and refuse to go
If you really can't participate, your servant can also tell the princess for you. The princess loves you so much, and she will definitely not force it. As for the eldest lady, this slave doesn't dare to spread nonsense anymore. Please ask Liu Niang to be considerate of this slave. "
Leng Yan's words were straightforward. Two people must go out of the big room. Shi Qingxue could say she was sick but Dong Hui couldn't hide anyway. How would Shi Qingxue choose
