When the empress sat down, the palace maids removed the wine and snacks that were originally placed on the tables, and another group of palace maids placed new delicacies on their respective tables.
At this moment, the main hall was completely silent. Only the sound of the palace maids placing the dishes could be heard. Everyone sat there respectfully, not daring to make a single mistake.
"Today is the Spring Festival, dear ministers, there's no need to be so formal.”After the serving of food and the palace maids had left, Emperor Mo Yichen, who was sitting at the head of the hall, waved his hand and smiled. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne. Although he was smiling, he still gave off an invisible majesty that made people feel intimidated!
The Chen Emperor was the third emperor of this dynasty. Before he ascended the throne, he wasn't the Crown Prince. Back then, the Crown Prince was mediocre and incompetent, without talent or virtue.
And the prince Chen Emperor was a master of both martial arts and martial arts. He had all the talents that an emperor should have. Perhaps it was because he was unwilling, so he secretly befriended the officials of the court and accumulated strength, but on the surface, he was like a clean hand.
Under his careful planning, he married the daughter of Prime Minister Chen Yuanhua, the current Empress Chen Yujia, as his wife.
A year after he married Chen Yujia, he married General Dou Xiangfei's daughter, Dou Jingyao, as his concubine. It was said that Emperor Chen loved this Secondary Consort the most. Ever since she entered the mansion, she had been staying in her courtyard every day. From then on, he had neglected the Principal Consort, Chen Yujia.
After the death of Emperor Ming, the second emperor of Tian Chen Kingdom, Emperor Chen, Prime Minister Chen Yuan Hua and General Dou Xiang Fei colluded to tamper with the imperial edict and seize the throne. Even so, the officials in the court had already been bribed by the Chen Emperor. In addition, the Crown Prince was incompetent and the Chen Emperor was highly respected. Therefore, he didn't encounter any obstacles in ascending to the throne.
After Emperor Chen ascended the throne, he made Chen Yujia, the daughter of the Prime Minister, the Empress, and Dou Jingyao, the daughter of the General, the Imperial Consort.
However, five years after giving birth to the Ninth Prince, Mo Qianchen, the Imperial Noble Consort passed away due to illness. Since then, Emperor Chen rarely went to the harem. The concubines he took in were all like the Imperial Concubine Dou in some places. Emperor Chen had never stepped into the Empress 'palace again. Other than some necessary occasions where they would appear together, he had never seen her alone.
Of course, these palace secrets were all learned by Leng Yun Ge by chance after she became the Empress in her previous life.
Just as Leng Yun Ge was deep in thought, everyone had already begun to say some auspicious words to the empress.
The hall was filled with singing and dancing. Everyone was enjoying the delicacies, toasting each other, and enjoying the singing and dancing.
Leng Yunge only watched indifferently, but she accidentally saw Mo Qianyu, who was sitting opposite her, stand up and quietly leave the hall.
"I wonder what the Fourth Prince is doing by suddenly leaving?”Leng Yunge whispered to Leng Yunxi, who was sitting beside her.
"Oh, really? I didn't notice it." Leng Yunxi's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.
Leng Yun Ge didn't reply and just ate the delicious food in front of her.
After about fifteen minutes, Leng Yunxi rubbed his temples and said to her," Sister, I feel a little stuffy. I'm going out to get some fresh air."”
"Then go ahead. Don't go too far." Leng Yun Ge replied.
When Leng Yunxi walked out of the hall, Leng Yunge watched Leng Yunxi's pink figure disappear into the night, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
Leng Yunxi looked around and finally found Mo Qianyu by the lake. Seeing his handsome figure, Leng Yunxi felt drunk.
She walked straight over and called out to Mo Qianyu three steps away," Your Highness.”Her voice was gentle and shy.
Mo Qianyu turned around and saw Leng Yunxi. She was impatient and pulled Leng Yunxi to the willow tree.
"Why are you here? There are too many people in the palace. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this?”Mo Qianyu said unhappily.
"I sent someone to send a message to Your Highness, but Your Highness did not come to find me. I missed you so much that I had no choice.”Leng Yunxi's face was full of grievance, and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Mo Qianyu's heart softened and her voice became much gentler." I have a lot of things to do recently. After I'm done with this, I'll go see you. This is not the place to talk. You should go back quickly."”
"Could it be that Your Highness is already tired of my daughter and has fallen for my sister?”Leng Yunxi said.
"What are you talking about? Of course I only have you in my heart." Mo Qianyu's eyes flashed with annoyance, but it was not a good time to flare up. She could only pat her shoulder and say softly,"
"Then why did you go to find my sister behind my back?”
"Aren't I doing this for our grand plan?”
"Really? But why do I feel like you've changed since my sister fell into the water last time? You've become more passionate towards her?”
"Of course it's true. My enthusiasm for her is only on the surface. How can she compare to you? Are you that unconfident?" Mo Qianyu said.
"She naturally can't be compared to me." Leng Yunxi continued.
"That's right. You're just letting your imagination run wild. "Alright, let's go back quickly. If we're discovered later, we'll be in trouble.”As Mo Qianyu spoke, she caressed Leng Yunxi's creamy face and left a kiss on her forehead.
"What are you guys doing?" Leng Yunxi was still immersed in Mo Qianyu's kiss when he heard a stern shout.
Mo Qianyu and Leng Yunxi turned their heads in shock and panic at the same time. They saw the Empress and a group of women not far away. The one who had just spoken was the Empress.
"Mother, don't misunderstand. Second Young Miss Leng said that she wanted to get some fresh air, but she got lost. Her eyes were blinded by the wind, so I blew on her eyes.”Mo Qianyu said fearfully.
He was already engaged. If someone found out that he was having an affair with his fiancée's sister, his future would be bleak.
"Empress, it is indeed as the fourth prince said. Because of my greed for the beautiful scenery here, I forgot the way back. I met the fourth prince by chance and was accidentally blinded by the wind.”Leng Yunxi knelt down in panic and said anxiously.
When the Empress saw that it was the woman she had just seen in the hall, wearing Dou Jingyao's clothes, she immediately became even more annoyed and tired of Leng Yunxi. However, Mo Qianyu was her son, and she had to think for his sake.
"My son, mother knows that you have a kind heart since you were young, but you have to pay attention to propriety. In the future, such matters can be handed over to the palace maids to avoid being slandered.”
"Yes, your son will listen to mother's teachings.”Mo Qianyu said.
"Which family's young lady is this? She actually didn't know how to behave herself. She lost her way and didn't know how to ask the eunuch to help lead the way. She didn't even know how to ask the palace maid for help.”
The Empress scolded sternly, pushing all the responsibility to Leng Yunxi. This way, she could preserve her son's reputation and make this girl who was wearing the clothes of the woman she hated the most in her life become the target of public criticism.
The people present would only think that this woman was shameless enough to seduce the prince. The Fourth Prince was just kind-hearted and could not bear to reject a weak woman's request. Even if it wasn't, she, the mother of the country, had already said so. Who would dare to go out and say that the Fourth Prince was having an affair?
When she saw the woman in the hibiscus flower dress in the hall, she was already uneasy. She was deeply afraid that the emperor would discover her and take her as a concubine again. In these years, the concubines that the Chen Emperor took in were all people similar to Dou Jingyao. The palace was filled with hibiscus flowers.
This was a thorn in her heart. She hated everything related to Dou Jingyao, whether it was people who looked like her or things related to her. Whether it was the hibiscus or the clothes this woman was wearing today, she hated them to the bone.
It wasn't easy for her to hide from the emperor, but she didn't expect this woman to be so persistent and seduce her son.
Leng Yunxi, who was kneeling at the side, trembled and replied in fear," Reporting to the Empress, my daughter is the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence, Leng Yunxi. I will remember the Empress's teachings. I will reflect on my mistakes when I return.”
She knew that things were not good. The Empress was the Fourth Prince's biological mother. If she offended her today, it would be difficult for her to marry the Fourth Prince in the future.
"BenGong heard that Prime Minister Leng only has one Di daughter. You are the Second Miss, the son of a concubine.”The Empress frowned and said unhappily.
Leng Yunxi's heart trembled. It hurt like it was being pricked by needles, but she still did not dare to show it. She only replied with a trembling voice," Yes, in response to the Empress."”
"As expected, she lacks the dignity and elegance that a Di daughter should have.”The Empress said coldly.
Everyone looked at Leng Yunxi as if they were watching a good show. They were all gloating in their hearts.
After being reprimanded by the Empress today, it would probably be difficult for the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Residence to marry into a good family and become the mistress of the household. At most, she would be a concubine. Even if she was a concubine, it was impossible for a good family to want her.
Leng Yunge stood at the side and watched indifferently. She snorted lightly. In her previous life, after she entered the palace as the Empress, Mo Qianyu had once mentioned to her that the Empress hated everything related to the hibiscus flower because of the late Imperial Noble Consort Dou Jingyao.
Originally, it was the Empress who married the Chen Emperor first. After a year of marriage, she and the Chen Emperor were in harmony and helped each other. She also deeply loved this man who had both virtue and ability. However, ever since Dou Jingyao entered the residence, everything had changed. Emperor Chen no longer entered her courtyard. Every day when he was free, he would stick with Dou Jingyao and completely forget about her.
Even if this Dou Jingyao died, she would still haunt him like a ghost. The women that Emperor Chen found later on were all related to her. She still couldn't get the love of the Chen Emperor. Instead, he treated her even more coldly.
Leng Yunge had used this to get Mo Qianchen to find a set of clothes belonging to his mother. She had plotted for Leng Yunxi and her son to find this set of clothes so that she would appear in front of the Empress and make the Empress hate her. Or perhaps, Emperor Chen would find out and take her as his concubine.
No matter what the outcome was, it would probably be painful for Leng Yunxi.
If she offended the Empress, her life would be very difficult even if she married Mo Qianyu. If he was taken in as a concubine by Emperor Chen, all the women in the palace would be powerful and Leng Yunxi would be eaten up by those women.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
