Chapter 41 Palace Banquet

Mo Xuetong got up early, but it was not early after being dressed up by Molan. When Mo Xuetong went there, it was the peak period of entering the palace. Carriages entered the palace gate in an orderly manner, and then walked slowly on the wide and neat road. There was no other sound, only the sound of crisp horses' hoofs. The beating is in people's ears.

They are all the legitimate daughters of a family. They are usually well-bred, not to mention the palace. Even if they are indulgent, they dare not make a loud noise. If they are rude here, they will not only lose face, but may also affect the lives of their families.

When I got to the ground, I got off the carriage, changed my sedan chair, and then carried it all the way to the imperial garden. The flower appreciation party was held in the southeast corner of the imperial garden, where there was an autumn garden. The flowers blooming in the autumn garden were mainly released in autumn, mainly **. From time to time, various cherished and strange ** were dotted with beautiful hibiscus, begonias, and Tall osmanthus tree.

The fragrance of Dangui is only when the fragrance of flowers is strong, and it is the time to get off the sedan chair. The fresh smell between the wings of the nose makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in the season of flowers blooming in the south of the Yangtze River.

When she got out of the carriage, Molan carefully stroked her flat skirt, even the small folds were smooth.

It's still early. At the time of the feast, many ladies in twos and threes watched the colorful scenery of the autumn garden softly. Because the banquet organized by the queen invited the legitimate sons and daughters of each family. On the one hand, it is a means for the royal family to attract ministers, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for families to see each other. Both sides like it, and you can also ask the queen to marry, so it is more leisurely than ordinary banquets, and it is normal for men and women to chat together.

Daqin doesn't have so many rules for men and women at banquets.

"Have you heard that the Mo family is not Miss Mo this time? It is said that she is the third lady who is ugly, strange and extremely arrogant." There were several women laughing not far away.

"The third lady from the Mo family is a little better. The son and daughter of a concubine in a room are really not pleasant to say."

"There is a legitimate daughter. It is said that this young lady is because she has a bad temper, a lonely personality, and a bad appearance. Therefore, when Lord Mo went to Beijing, he left a direct daughter in a small border town. Otherwise, how could a good direct daughter be left behind? I'm afraid it's really unseeable."

"Is it really that scary?" Everyone is surprised!

"It needless to say, Mo Xuemin is really pitiful. She is so beautiful, talented and gentle, but she is a common girl. The flower appreciation banquet last year was because her family did not have a daughter, so she came in. I'm afraid she was not so lucky this time."

"It's true, otherwise how can Mo Xuemin, a common woman be so beautiful in the capital, but no matter how good she is, she is still a common woman." Someone said disdainfully.

"I heard that her aunt is about to straighten up, just wait for Lord Mo to straighten up after a while."

"That's not a real daughter."

is temperamental, has a lonely personality, and looks amazing?

They really look up to themselves. Even if they are left in Yuncheng, they have such a big "reputation" in the capital. It can be seen that some people are really attentive. When they mention Mo Xuemin, others appreciate her more, but she is talentless and virtuous. With a smile on her lips, she looks elegant and bright in the lively crowd of flowers. Li.

She is beautiful. Even if she is young, her body has never grown up. Her elegant face is a little childish and simple. Her clear water eyes are as bright as the night pearl in the deep sea, with a faint charm. Her white jade-like face and two moist red bead lips stand At the edge of a bunch of **, an elegant white gauze skirt fluttered, and the colorful butterflies on the bottom of the gauze made the wind move, with charm in innocence.

The scenery around her has become the scenery around her.

Many people's eyes fell from the flower tree to her. The elegant and beautiful dress set off the white spirit, and the sound of gasping kept ringing. Whose direct daughter is this? She is actually beautiful and elegant.

"Cousin, it's you. Why did you come so late? I've been looking for you for a long time." Luo Mingzhu came out somewhere and smiled happily when she saw Mo Xuetong.

"Second cousin, I came so early. It was Tong'er who came late. I was looking for the second cousin, but I didn't know where to find it. I was in a hurry!" The gentle and sweet voice is a little shy.

"My cousin is really asking you to come in with me, but no, it's okay now. Let's see if I can't find it!" Luo Mingzhu said ankogyo. She was really afraid that Mo Xuetong would not know the way, so she asked Mo Xuetong to go to the Duke's Mansion this morning and come together again, but Mo Xuetong refused. The Mo family had its own rules of the Mo family, even if the ancestors could not let her father lose face.

How can her legitimate daughter fall into an incompetent and even dare not come to a banquet alone? Although she knows that Luo Mingzhu is well-meaning, there are so many negative rumors about her. If she doesn't pay more attention, it is really irreparable. In this life, she will not patrol the road of the world. Of course, she knows that she is a person in two generations. How important a reputation is to a woman.

"Thank you, second cousin. I just got out of the car. I didn't wait long, but I bothered my second cousin to wait for me." Mo Xuetong explained with a smile.

"You, really! By the way, did the lady in your house also come today? She is a common daughter. How can you bring her in? Luo Mingzhu stared at her with a smile, but she was not really angry. She took her hand and took two steps. Suddenly, she stopped under a flower and scolded softly.

"Big sister?" Mo Xuetong showed surprise at the right time, and her expression was seamless. "I didn't bring her in!"

Sure enough, Mo Xuemin still came in, which was the same as her guess, which also made her feel a little chill in the bottom of her heart!

"How did she come in without bringing her in?" Luo Mingzhu was also stunned for a moment, frowned and turned back to the maid behind her, "I just saw Miss Mo, right?"

Because Mo Xuetong is not here, everything in the Mo family is in charge of Aunt Fang, so the guests in the family are all this Miss Mo. Although Luo Mingzhu is at odds with her, she can't stand the number of encounters. Not only does she know her, but she also knows the maids who follow her.

"Miss, it was Miss Mo who was with several ladies just now!" The maid replied respectfully.

"Look, isn't your young lady here? Isn't she really here with you?" Luo Mingzhu pointed to the maid with her big eyes wide open and raised her voice and asked puzzledly.

The voice was really a little high, which seemed very abrupt among the people who spoke softly, and many people who chatted on the side couldn't help looking at them.

Seeing that the attention of the people on the side was focused on their conversation, Mo Xuetong pulled the corner of Luo Mingzhu's clothes.

"What are you afraid of? If you didn't bring that young lady, would someone else bring her in? How can it be that someone else's daughter would bring in? Luo Mingzhu reached out and took Mo Xuetong's hand carelessly, but wanted her to say 256.

This is an interesting thing. A concubine's daughter is not allowed to come to enjoy the flower banquet. Even if there are really special circumstances, she also follows her own direct daughter. How can she bring her in behind someone else's house? Who brings a concubine's daughter in? This is an interesting thing. For a while, many people raised their ears. , listen to the gossip.

Some people looked up and down at Mo Xuetong and felt that the rumors were too bad. From their conversation just now, they also heard that this is the third lady of the Mo family, who is said to be lonely, arrogant and ugly. Which one is this? This is called ugly, and I can't see it here. .

The rumors are too fake!

If the rumor is false, who spread it?

Many people are becoming more and more curious! Through soft words, he stretched out his ears to listen to Luo Mingzhu's small voice.

"I don't know. I'm just here. I'm not familiar with it. Is the eldest sister really here? Second cousin, can you take me to see the eldest sister? Isn't it the eldest sister who came to see me for something?" Mo Xuetong's smile on her lips was a little concerned. Liu's eyebrows were soft, and the unconscious pity between her eyebrows was very good, but she also saw that she was really confused and tight.

"Cousin, you'd better forget it. I see what your eldest sister talked about with several family novels. There is no intention of looking for you at all. It's clear that she came to the banquet, and she didn't tell you when she came. You're really worried that she would come to you and come to you earlier." Luo Mingzhu said rudely to Mo Xuetong, which was quite angry with her.

"Your elder sister is dressed beautifully today. I'm afraid that dress was made with great care. How can she come by the way?"

"Although the eldest sister's clothes have been newly made in recent days, the eldest sister did not say that she would come to the banquet. Maybe it was a mistake." Mo Xuetong had a delicate smile on her face and defended for Mo Xuemin.

"You, really, why can't you see so clearly! Forget it, stay away from her in the future!" Luo Mingzhu was so angry that she almost wanted to wake her up. The mother and daughter's appearance was obviously to spy on her daughter's position, but her cousin still looked at them. Why didn't this make her angry?

"Yo, isn't this Miss Mo San, as expected..." A slightly sharp voice pretended to be raised. A woman in a gold-made satin skirt stood in front of her under a cluster of flowers, with an exaggerated voice, and the flying eyebrows were a little provocative, and the unfinished words left infinite flawed thoughts.

Everyone was paying attention to this side. Hearing the woman's deliberately raised voice, it was difficult not to pay attention to this side.

Without waiting for Mo Xuetong to speak, Luo Mingzhu was not happy on the spot: "Ling Mingyan, why do you interrupt when they talk? This is the palace, not your Dingguo Mansion. What you made a few days ago, and you dare to make trouble in the palace. Don't think that anyone can be bullied by you. If you are so arrogant, tell the queen later. Mother, go."

"Luo Mingzhu, if I'm presumptuous, you won't be presumptuous. I talk to Miss Mo San. Do you care? Who do you think you are? You can refer to who you are in the palace? If you really don't want to be an outsider and tell the Queen, where else I want to go, I don't believe that the Queen's aunt will help you. Help me!" Ling Mingyan pointed to Luo Mingzhu and retorted.

Looking at the shape of these two people, they have been used to tit-for-tat for a long time. Ling Mingyan, and Mo Xuetong's water eyes flashed. How can this direct daughter of the Duke of Dingguo be so arrogant?

The Duke of Dingguo is not only one of the founding four, but also one of the descendants. It is the mother of the queen and the mother of the Empress Dowager. In this regard, the power of the Duke of Dingguo is higher than that of other governments, so this one has something to rely on?
