Older gingers are more spicy.
Even in the face of everyone's scorching gazes, the expression on Mo Xiangrui's face did not change.
After listening to Liang Jingxian's 'praise', she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed boldly, "A man should be ambitious in all directions, Jun Yang, this boy is not worthy of your praise, the Queen Mother!"
With a little effort, Liang Jingxian's words were blocked.
The smile on Liang Jingxian's face froze, and her eyes stayed on Mo Xiangrui for a while, but she still didn't see anything.
But according to common sense, if Mo Xiangrui really knew that Mo Junyang was not his biological son, he would definitely be furious at this time.
Even if he wasn't angry, his face would definitely not look good, and he would never be as calm as he is now.
Liang Jingxian calmed down, smiled at Mo Xiangrui, made an irrelevant joke, and changed the topic.
At this time, everyone's faces looked relaxed and happy, except for Liang Zixin's expression, which was still a little stiff.
It seems that he has not recovered from the blow just now.
It happened that everyone was discussing the song and dance performance on the stage. Liang Zixin couldn't hold it in for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that the Crown Princess's dancing skills are amazing. I wonder if there is a chance to appreciate the exquisiteness of the Crown Princess today. What about dancing?”
Shi Qingxue was drinking tea!
Suddenly she was called by Liang Zixin's name. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that the other party actually wanted her to perform on stage.
And dancing in public
She had never done this kind of thing since she was fifteen years old.
A noble girl from a serious family, no matter how good at dancing, would never dance in such a public place.
Being compared with ordinary artists and losing points is one thing; it also loses identity.
Are you talking about Liang Qianqian just now
They obviously came here for Mo Junyu, just to seduce Mo Junyu. They only wanted to achieve their goals, and they didn’t care whether they lost their status or not!
If Shi Qingxue had never been betrothed to someone else, it wouldn't be a big deal to show her face. After all, Mo's people were open-minded and would not be too harsh on women.
But now she has become the Crown Princess of Rui and a married person.
If he performs again, he will lose face to Prince Rui's Mansion.
But the person who spoke was Liang Zixin, the Empress. If she refused without a valid reason, someone would definitely say that she, the Crown Princess of Rui, was too arrogant and even refused to give the Empress the face.
To put it more seriously, it means not even giving the emperor face.
At this time, no one would think about how harsh Liang Zixin's request was.
When Qingxue was in a dilemma, someone held her little hand under her sleeve.
She raised her head in confusion and saw Mo Junyang giving her a reassuring smile.
Suddenly, I heard Mo Junyang reply in a calm tone: "My wife is not feeling well and cannot perform the dance. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
The person who spoke just now was Liang Zixin, but the person Mo Junyang was answering now was Mo Junyu, and he didn't take Empress Liang seriously at all.
However, no one dared to say anything about him.
The smile that Liang Zixin managed to squeeze out froze on her face, and she glared at Mo Junyang with a resentful expression, but was completely ignored by the latter.
Mo Junyu was also made a little uncomfortable by Mo Junyang's respectful but distant attitude.
He could only smile generously and said caringly: "Since the Crown Princess is unwell, then take a good rest and don't force her."
The expected tears of gratitude were definitely not felt by anyone.
Mo Junyang just nodded slightly to Mo Junyu, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mo Junyang really didn't give any face to the royal family.
The attitude was frozen here without any embarrassment.
Shi Qingxue couldn't stand it, so she pinched Mo Junyang secretly, and took the initiative to answer: "Qingxue's small skills are not worthy of His Majesty's attention. The skills of the palace musicians and dancers are truly exquisite. It is better to leave the opportunity to them." More appropriate!”
"In that case, let's continue the performance!" Mo Junyu finally waited until he reached the steps and walked down quickly.
A group of dancers immediately appeared on the stage, singing and dancing.
The sound of singing and dancing filled the entire palace banquet, and the scene became lively again.
But the atmosphere on the royal side was still somewhat awkward.
It was Mo Xiangrui who didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere here. He also talked about interesting things about Kyoto with Minister She, and then gradually covered up the topic.
But everyone has new calculations in their hearts—
Prince Mo’s possessiveness towards the crown prince’s concubine is indeed well-deserved!
This posture made it clear that he would not allow anyone to interfere with him, not even talk about it.
However, his identity was there. It could almost be said that he could deny face to anyone except Mo Junyu.
Oh, it seemed that he didn't even bother to give Mo Junyu face.
It's almost arrogant to a certain extent.
But there was nothing anyone could do to him!
Mo Junyu's attitude was there. If the emperor didn't say anything, who would dare to touch this brow.
The fate of the Zhao family, the Qin family, and the three and four princes' parties lies there.
Anyone who had opposed Mo Junyang before had a bad end.
If you don’t want to stand out, just stay quiet!
So under the influence of this weird psychology, after a while, everyone started talking in full swing again.
Only one person.
Liang Zixin's expression was stiff and gloomy at this time. Even if she had a smile on her face, she was forcing herself as much as she could.
Anyone can see that she is not in a beautiful mood right now, and even her disguise is unsuccessful.
Mo Junyu had just accepted Liang Qianqian, and he was feeling guilty for Liang Zixin. When he saw this, he thought that Liang Zixin was still worried about him.
He felt a little proud in his heart, sighing secretly that his queen really loved him so much, otherwise she would never have shown such a sad expression for him.
He coughed twice, put on a caring attitude, and asked softly: "Xin'er, do you feel that uncomfortable?"
Liang Zixin met Mo Junyu's caring eyes and suddenly came back to her senses. She was stunned for a while, and her heart became weak.
She, she was so heartbroken by Mo Junyang's protective behavior just now that she didn't notice Mo Junyu at all.
But Mo Junyu's expression was half joyful and half caring.
Liang Zixin could only cheer up, smiled and said, "I'm fine, I thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
But the more she said this, the worry on Mo Junyu's face became more obvious, and he even took the initiative to say: "If the queen feels unwell, why not go back to the palace to rest first?"
Liang Zixin hesitated.
She didn't want to see Mo Junyang versus Shi Qingxue, that would make her feel bad, but on the other hand, she really didn't have many chances to see Mo Junyang, and she didn't want to give up.
Just when she was in a dilemma, Liang Jingxian suddenly said, "The Aijia are also tired. Xin'er, please accompany the Aijia back to the palace!"
Liang Jingxian said so, so Liang Zixin could not refuse, so she had no choice but to follow Liang Jingxian to the Queen Mother's palace.
On the surface, Liang Jingxian just asked Liang Zixin to accompany her for a walk, but as soon as she returned to the palace, she immediately retreated, leaving only Liang Zixin and her.
Liang Zixin realized that her aunt might have something to say to her, her expression changed, and she bit her lower lip, as if she wanted to say it or not.
Liang Jingxian glanced at her and said coolly: "Looking at you like this, you must know that you have done something wrong?"
Liang Zixin bit her lower lip and refused to admit it. She pretended to be calm and said: "Xin'er doesn't know. Xin'er only knows that my aunt dedicated Qianqian to His Majesty."
And it was presented in public.
It was a slap in the face.
The legend of Empress E's daughter-in-law is a good story, but who has ever asked these sisters if they are really willing to share their husbands
Sharing a husband with someone else is already a terrible thing, but now the person who is trying to steal her husband from her is still her own sister.
It was Liang Zixin who could bear it and didn't get angry on the spot.
Liang Jingxian was suddenly accused of being dishonest by Liang Zixin, and the expression on her face became a little uncomfortable.
She avoided Liang Zixin's gaze with a guilty conscience, but then she thought of Liang Zixin's actions and turned back to glare.
He hummed confidently: "If you have the ability to control the emperor's heart, then the Ai family will naturally not meddle in other people's affairs and become such a bad person.
But you have been married to the emperor for almost a year, and there is no good news at all. In a month, the emperor is not in your palace for more than half of the month. How can the Ai family rest assured that the honor and disgrace of a good family will be placed on you? "
"Ha! That's what my aunt said. Even if the emperor is not in Xiner's palace every day, Xin'er is the one who is favored the most. The holy love is strong, and my aunt can't wait to stuff people into the palace. You want to take Xiner's Where do you put your face?"
If it were normal, Liang Zixin would not dare to talk to Liang Jingxian like this.
But today she was so angry that she didn't care about that much at this time.
When Liang Jingxian was pointed out directly by the other party, she didn't feel guilty anymore. Instead, she sneered: "You are a man of means. The Ai family has always known that, otherwise your father would not have tried every means to send you to the palace."
"In that case..." Liang Zixin asked.
Liang Jingxian interrupted her calmly, "But your scheming was used in places it shouldn't be.
Your own heart is not in the emperor, how can the Aijia still expect you to completely tie the emperor's heart? "
Liang Zixin's expression froze, and all her arrogance disappeared, but she still said sternly: "Xin'er doesn't know what aunt is talking about?"
However, Liang Jingxian no longer agreed with her and said with a cold smile: "You have fallen in love with Mo Junyang. Do you really think the Ai family doesn't know about it?"
"Me!" Liang Zixin subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Liang Jingxian's determined expression clearly told her.
If the other party was not 100% sure, he would definitely not say such a thing.
Having said this, Liang Zixin simply stopped denying it.
He raised his neck, faced Liang Jingxian, and said excitedly: "Is that so?! I have been in love with Prince Mo since I was a child. It was you who insisted on pushing me into the fire pit of the palace, just for your so-called glory and wealth, I... "
Before Liang Zixin finished speaking, Liang Jingxian slapped her hard on the face.
The little face was slapped to one side, and an obvious slap mark immediately appeared, becoming red and swollen.
Liang Zixin covered her face and looked at Liang Jingxian blankly, tears rolling down her eyes.
She asked in disbelief: "You, you hit me?"
