There were already dishes placed on the table, and they were all Mo Xuetong's favorites. Feng Yuran did not ask the maidservant to serve her. Instead, he scooped up a bowl of fragrant rice for Mo Xuetong and a bowl for himself. He glanced at Mo Xuetong with his beautiful eyes and raised his brows. "Do you have something to ask me?"
"How did you know I wanted to ask you something?" Mo Xuetong could not help but feel strange. She did have something to say earlier. However, as she saw how tired he looked when he entered, she did not ask anything else. The banquet today had proven that there was no good wine or good banquet. Such a big thing had suddenly happened.
"I can tell just by looking at your appearance." Feng Yuran picked up some shrimp, which was Mo Xuetong's favorite, and placed it in her bowl. "The Sixth Princess's face was badly injured and the corners of her eyes were scratched by Ling Mingyan. One of her eyes was bloodshot and she could not open i
Mo Xuetong did not expect the Sixth Princess to come as well!Her face was hidden behind a layer of a thin veil, and others could faintly see the thick cloth wrapped around her face. Although her eyes could not be seen, others felt that her temperament had changed. She was no longer as gentle and soft as she used to be. Instead, she reeked of a strong sense of gloom. She clasped her hands tightly and looked coldly through the veil at the people entering the hall without saying anything.Imperial Noble Consort Wen looked weak and aggrieved. Sitting beside the Sixth Princess, she held her daughter's hand and patted her from time to time. The corners of her eyes were red and swollen, and she was in low spirits. It was obvious that she had cried. After all, her only daughter had suffered such a thing. As a mother, how could she not be sad?The Empress Dowager and the Empress were both seated by Emperor Zongwen's side."Ling Mingyan, wh
"Who told you that Sixth Princess wanted to plot against you? Who told you that this matter had something to do with Sixth Princess?" the Empress asked in surprise. There was no other emotion on her face.Sitting below, Mo Xuetong sharply sensed a hint of joy from the Empress and that she looked at Ling Mingyan with gentler eyes. Speaking of which, the Empress did not think highly of Ling Mingyan at all. Among her several nieces, she gave priority first to Ling Fengyan and then to Ling Rui'er. Mo Xuetong had heard that the Empress did not like the real legitimate daughter of Ding General Manor since she came to the capital.It might because of Ling Mingyan's arrogant and unrestrained character.But at this moment, there was a little satisfaction in the Empress's eyes when she looked at Ling Mingyan!Mo Xuetong reached out and gently poked the person who was lazily leaning against the pillar, as if he was watching the show. Then, sh
It was kind of a perfect ending.All the evidence pointed to Hu Qianyue, and Hu Qianyue's suicide was interpreted as an escape from punishment!In addition to the Sixth Princess's disfigured face and You Yue'e's miscarriage, which were real harm, the result could be said to be beneficial to all aspects.Ding General Manor did not have to bear the charge of having a vicious daughter!There was no unwomanly daughter-in-law in Mingguo Manor.Of course, there was no such a vicious and insidious Sixth Princess in the palace...The several major forces had also received a perfect balance. As for some details, everyone had forgotten them "out of carelessness". They looked as if no one could think of some aspects. Miss Hu Qianyue seemed to be a little magical and almost omnipotent.With a flip of her hand, she was able to manipulate the consort and the princess in her hands!Of course, no
After reading Mo Huawen's letter, Mo Xuetong already knew what was going on. She put down the letter in her hand and asked Mo Ye, "When does Auntie Qing usually go to see the old maidservant of King Ning's Manor?""I've asked about it. Madam said that Auntie Qing had gone out every few days. Sometimes, she would be out for the entire morning or the entire afternoon. She only said that she was in a bad mood when she thought of Fourth Miss, so she went out to have a walk and relax. But every time she went out, she would talk to the old maidservant for a while. But these days, Madam did not take her excuse."This was what Mo Xuetong had told Mo Huawen the last time. They could not allow Auntie Qing to go out when she wanted to. It was safe when the matters of the Mo Manor leaked selectively.Now that Auntie Qing had not gone out for so many days, she would go out to deliver messages if she had the chance. As Feng Yuzhen hadn't gotten any news for
"I... I..." Concubine Yun, who had been eloquent, stammered.To enter the palace was like living in the sea as they could not go back at will. Some palace maids would not leave for the rest of their lives once they walked into the palace. There was nothing to discuss about family affection. Not to mention a little palace maid, even the consorts in the palace were unable to go back home as they wanted.Many high-ranking consorts couldn't leave the palace in their whole lives. Who could say that this order was unreasonable? Who dared to say that...?"Concubine Yun, are you blaming me for not taking care of your family? So you came here together and asked me to allow you to go home so that you can reunite with your family? Do you need me to personally send gifts to your family to perform filial duty in your place?"Mo Xuetong looked at Concubine Yun and the others and asked indifferently. Her words made the few of them deeply ashamed
It was very lively on the street. From time to time, one could see the carriages passing by slowly. It was the time of crisp autumn. Most of the carriages had gauze curtains hanging on them. The doors were opened in front and the window curtains were slightly lifted up. People outside could occasionally see the half-covered image of a beauty in the carriage. The figure was vague, but had an unusual charm.The horse carriage of King Xuan's Manor came in and out from the side door. The side door was close to the back courtyard, but it still belonged to the front yard. It was normal for the horse carriage to come in and out. When the carriage reached the side door, a maidservant got out and took out a token. The old maidservant in charge took the token and looked at it carefully. Then, she tilted her head and looked into the carriage while asking curiously."Miss Hong'er, where is Concubine Yun going? Why does she have time to go out today?""Cust
Mo Xuetong came out just in time. She boarded an inconspicuous horse carriage that had been parked by the side earlier. Then, her carriage went in the same direction as Concubine Yun's carriage. The ordinary horse carriage that was painted with oil was not eye-catching at all, and looked exactly the same as the other horse carriages on the streets. Without a powerful family's sign, no one knew that noble Consort Xuan was sitting inside.Of course, Concubine Yun was also in the similar carriage today!Concubine Yun's horse carriage ran into another horse carriage on the streets. When the two horse carriages passed by each other, Mo Ye could see clearly from where she was sitting that the two people inside were taking a look at each other. Concubine Yun, who was dressed as a maidservant, looked happy and waved at the person in the other horse carriage.The people in the carriage did not ask her carriage to stop. She seemed to only say something t
The dishes were originally ordered by this private room. The waiter took a look at the room number and nodded with certainty. It was right here. Another waiter who came out just now repeatedly told him not to send the wrong place. How could he be wrong?"It's here. That's right!" the waiter said in a daze."You're wrong. This is the dish we ordered. We've been here for a long time. How is it possible that there isn't any food for us yet?" The palace maid, dressed in a maidservant costume, was angry. Her finger almost touched the waiter's face as she pointed to her. Her mistress had been moody recently. Many people in her palace had been thrown into the Flower Hall. She did not want to be the next one.She must take this dish!After that, she did not intend to say anything more to the waiter. She reached out to take the tray and was ready to serve the dishes on her own. As for the two maidservants standing at the door, she did not t
