Chapter 105 The show is about to begin

It’s a pity that the princess was in the prime of her life, becoming more and more graceful and beautiful day by day.

Every time Shen Zhe went out, he wished he could hang on the princess and tell those men to get out.

The look in Shen Zhe's eyes when he looked at Mo Yuanli became more and more gentle, and also more and more gentle and infatuated, which made Mo Yuanli feel embarrassed. She glared at Shen Zhe and said, "What are you talking about? We are still outside!"

"Can we tell you when we get home?"

"Talk, talk, talk, talk, you are so dishonest all day long!"

The princess' pretty face turned mostly red, but Shen Zhe shut his mouth and continued to smile.

The imperial concubine couldn't bear to watch.

Halfway through the singing and dancing, Yizhu came forward and said a few words to Mo Yuchen. Mo Yuchen nodded after listening, and Yizhu then left.

Noticing that Mo Yuyang was looking over, Mo Yuchen raised his glass and chatted with him first: "I heard that my eldest brother suffered in the Dali Temple, but in the end, my eldest brother's innocence was proved."

"Thanks to my second brother's concern, I am innocent even if I am sent to the Dali Temple, regardless of whether they investigate or not."

"Of course. My eldest brother has always been upright in his work. How could he have enriched himself in state affairs? Fortunately, it was discovered that it was the Minister of Works who did it. Otherwise, wouldn't my eldest brother's reputation have been tarnished for nothing?"

Mo Yuyang smiled and said, "Reputation doesn't matter. I just hope that I can save a lot of political affairs by entering the Dali Temple. My second brother has been working hard outside."

"Don't be angry, eldest brother. Besides me, my seventh brother has also helped father share a lot of worries." As he said that, Mo Yuchen looked in the direction of Mo Yufeng.

Mo Yufeng looked much more energetic, and there was less fatigue on his face, which made Mo Yuyang calm down: "It seems that Seventh Brother has become more comfortable after leaving the palace and setting up his own residence. That's good."

"The royal family members are all helpless. It just depends on whether they can let it go or not." Mo Yuchen seemed to be hinting at something.

Mo Yuyang didn't say anything else. He just stared at Mo Yufeng for a while and then started to enjoy the singing and dancing again.

Li Guan couldn't sit still for a while, so he came to Xia Yanxiang.

"Ayan, how can you sit still? This is too boring!" Li Guan complained to Xia Yanxiang as soon as he came over.

"Brother Guan!" Xia Qian called out to Li Guan in surprise when she saw her. The two hadn't seen each other for six or seven years.

Li Guan's face immediately turned red and she hesitated a bit: "Qian, Sister Qianxiang, we haven't seen each other for a long time." The two looked at each other lovingly for a while, and Mo Xuanxuan on the opposite side saw the jealousy on his face without hiding it.

Mo Yuchen also saw it and took a sip of wine: "Be careful, don't cause any trouble to others, otherwise someone will not forgive you."

Only then did Mo Xuan reluctantly retract his emotions.

"Besides, she is a woman. No matter how much Miss Six likes her, nothing will happen."

Mo Xuanxuan knew it, but this Li Guan was really dangerous. Even if it was a girl, Qian Xiang liked her so much. If it was a boy, what would happen? Besides, it was not uncommon for girls to elope with each other. No, he had to kill this relationship in the cradle.

"Hold on, those two are here today! If you cause trouble for Miss Six, you will suffer."

A basin of cold water was poured over his head, and Mo Xuanxuan finally gave up unwillingly.

"You still call me brother! Is this little girl so important in your heart?" Xia Yanxiang teased Xia Qianxiang with a smile. When they were young, Xia Qianxiang mistook Li Guan for a boy and called him brother all day long.

"Third sister!" Xia Qianxiang blushed immediately.

Li Guan hit Xia Yanxiang and said, "Sister Qianxiang likes to call me brother, so what? I am about to become Qianxiang's brother, what can you do about it?"

"What are you doing!" A chubby little hand reached out to pull Li Guan away. He looked down and saw that it was Xia Zhifeng. "Don't hit my third sister."

Li Guan immediately became interested and pinched Xia Zhifeng's face: "You little brat, you have never heard of my nickname 'The Devil of the World' in your life, right? Huh? How dare you be mean to me?"

Xia Zhifeng's face was pinched, and she cried out in dissatisfaction: "You, you let me go! Third sister! Third sister, save me!"

"It's no use calling you Third Sister. She used to hang out with me, too, hehe!"

As expected, Xia Yanxiang didn't care and just watched the show with a smile.

Xia Zhifeng cried and asked for help from someone else: "Sixth sister, Sixth sister, save me!"

"No way, you've been fighting with me for my third sister all day long, so let Brother Guan teach you a lesson!" Xia Qianxiang would not save him!

"Mother, mother!" This can save him, right?

Tu turned around, smiled, and said gently, "Don't make trouble."

"..."

Why is it always like this? It's so cruel! Woohoo!

Xia Zhifeng had no choice but to protest loudly.

Xia Yanxiang smiled and glanced in the direction of Mo Yuchen. Aunt Jin behind him had already left. She understood in her heart that the show had begun.

While they were playing, Yu Kui came up and said something in Xia Yanxiang's ear, and Xia Yanxiang nodded slightly without changing her expression.

After the round of singing and dancing, the emperor was in high spirits and said to the empress dowager beside him, "Empress dowager, I heard that you have recently been fond of the play "The Drunken Concubine", so I asked someone to find the best opera troupe in the capital, rehearsed for a long time, and now I am here to perform in front of you."

The Queen Mother was so coaxed that she laughed out loud: "Very good, it's good that the Emperor has this intention. Look at how peaceful and prosperous the country is this year. The Emperor has worked hard too."

"How dare my son complain about hard work? This year, Chen'er and Xuan'er have helped me a lot. Even Feng'er has grown up. He has not yet established a residence outside the palace, but he has come to the court every day to handle court reforms for me. I have a lot more free time."

"Feng'er?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised. This grandson was not talkative when he was a child and was always sullen. Only Chu Qiu could make him laugh.

"Yes, Feng'er lost his mother when he was young, and I have been taking care of him ever since. But I am incompetent, and I have been unable to warm Feng'er's heart after raising him for so many years."

The Imperial Noble Consort had also heard a little bit, and when she heard what the Queen said, she glanced at her with a half-smile.

"It's not your fault. Feng'er was already eight years old when his mother passed away. It's normal for him not to be close to you. Queen, don't belittle yourself."

"What the Queen Mother said is true. Queen, I intend to posthumously confer the title of Consort Chunhui on Feng'er's mother. The imperial edict has been drafted. After the New Year, you can order someone to repair her imperial tomb."

The queen almost fell in anger. She glanced at Mo Yufeng below and gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes."

At this time, Mo Yufeng was toasting Tu Song: "Right Prime Minister, Changsong is young, and thanks to Prime Minister Tu's guidance, Changsong toasts to you as a token of his friendship."

"I don't deserve it," Tu Song also picked up the wine glass, "It is my honor to contribute to the court and the country."

Chu Qiu replaced the food in front of Mo Difeng without anyone noticing beside Mo Difeng.

After Mo Yufeng finished toasting, he served the dishes and said, "Your Highness, this is the meal I prepared in the mansion. Please eat some first and drink less wine."

Mo Yufeng nodded, picked up the chopsticks, picked it up directly, and ate it without hesitation.

It's not like he had never eaten the imperial meals in the government office before. At that time, in order to survive, he had to eat them even at the risk of being poisoned. He had never tasted the flavor and didn't want to taste it.

The two grew up together, until they left the palace and built his own Wei Wang Mansion. Chu Qiu learned how to cook the meals he loved to eat as a child, and cooked them for him. Only then did he feel that cooking still had flavor.

Now he has replaced most of the people placed in Prince Wei's Palace by the Queen, and it is difficult for the Queen to move against him again. His and Chu Qiu's life has become better now.

But at this palace banquet, Mo Yufeng couldn't keep eating, so he had to stop after a few bites.

Chu Qiu was a little nervous when he saw this: "Your Highness, is it not to your liking?"

In the past, he cooked meals according to His Highness' taste. Could it be that His Highness was tired of the meals he cooked?

Mo Yufeng shook his head and whispered, "We can't keep eating at the palace banquet. Can we take these back home to eat?"

Chu Qiu was relieved: "If Your Highness likes it, I will make it for you when we get back to the mansion. These dishes will get cold soon and may affect the taste."

"What are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be more troublesome to do it again when we get back home?"

"It's not a problem. As long as Your Highness wants to eat, I can make it anytime."

Mo Yufeng hesitated for a while and agreed: "Then do more. I'm fine now."

Mo Yufeng's voice was so soft and small that no one knew about it.

After hearing this, Chu Qiu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Xia Yanxiang estimated that the time was about right, and glanced in the direction of Mo Fuchen from a distance. Mo Fuchen also looked over at her, and the two looked at each other.

The show is about to begin.
