The concubine has a heart disease and needs to be pampered!

Chapter 144 Mo Xuan & Ning Yi At the 19th Palace Banquet, Assassination

The East China Sea is surrounded by the sea on all sides, which makes the island warm and pleasant. Even after winter, because of the warm wind from the sea, even if the cold air from the north hits, it is not as cold as in Shangjing. But also because of the humidity of the sea breeze, as long as it meets the cold current of winter, the snow will fall as soon as it is said.

This day, Mo Xuan got up early, sat under the window sill, and looked at the falling white snow outside the window. Although he had seen goose-feather snow in Shangjing, it was not like this. In Shangjing, he always felt that when the snow fell, it was colder. Now, I always feel that looking at the snow, there is still a bit of warmth.

Ning Yi looked at the person sitting by the window staring out the window, walked over, and said with a smile: "Princess likes snow very much? But sitting by the window, it's too cold to catch a cold."

"Fortunately, it's not as good as it was when I went to Beijing. I can still bear it." Mo Xuan turned to look at Ning Yi, and said casually, "Didn't you say that when the first snow falls, the emperor will set up a set up in the palace?" feast?"

"Exactly, that's why we have to enter the palace after breakfast." After speaking, Ning Yi led Mo Xuan out of the bedroom. Since it's a bit colder today, the meals are all served in this warm pavilion.

After breakfast, Bai Mu was beside him, and said softly, "My lord, my concubine, the carriages are ready."

A maid had already brought the cloak and the hand stove, and Ning Yi and Mo Xuan left the mansion after they had agreed, got into the carriage, and went straight to the palace.

Naturally, when they entered the palace, they first went to Changle Palace to greet the Queen Mother as usual.

In Changle Palace, after all, it is very warm.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Mo Xuan, and then asked: "You, this is the first time you spend the winter in Yingzhou City, the winter in Yingzhou City is different from Shangjing City, you have to be more careful, and pay more attention to the people who serve you. "

Mo Xuan said bluntly, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. Everything is fine. In fact, the winter in Shangjing is colder. I think everything is fine here."

"That's good." Queen Mother Zhang said with a smile.

Ning Yi went on and said: "Mother, Prince Cheng's mansion is all comprehensive, and there is no way that my son will make him uncomfortable."

"This is not something that you, a husband, should do well of course. Aijia reminds me. It's just thinking that you are starting to help your emperor's brother with things. I'm afraid that you won't take care of yourself for a while. Aijia can help you with some suggestions." One or two is also excellent."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration." Ning Yi smiled.

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Ning Yi, then shifted her gaze to Mo Xuan, "Aijia is not caring for you, Aijia is caring for Aijia's daughter-in-law."

Mo Xuan was a little bit embarrassed when he was told this. Although he had been in Yingzhou City for some time, he had not contacted the Queen Mother once or twice. Sometimes he cared too much, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, He is not that delicate little girl, after all, above these words, he just agrees.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Zhang continued: "It's snowing today, and the emperor is hosting a banquet in the palace. This is the first time you've come to Yingzhou City to attend such a banquet."

"Yes."

"The Ai family knows you. No matter how big the scene is, it doesn't matter to you." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled, "On the left and right are the people in the front and harem, as well as some dignitaries from noble families in the capital, and All the outstanding young masters and ladies in the capital, there is no doubt that you will be familiar with these in Shangjing, right?"

"In the upper capital, there are various grand banquets every year, but there are always differences, so it has a different taste." Mo Xuan said with a smile.

They sat in this hall talking and laughing for a while, Sun Nanny stood beside her, reminding in a gentle voice, "Queen Dowager, the Emperor and Empress have gone to Jiuhua Hall, and it's time for the Empress Dowager to move to Jiuhua Hall."

Seeing the person in front of them get up, Ning Yi and Mo Xuan stood up together, then came out from Changle Palace and turned to Jiuhua Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the Jiuhua Hall, Mo Xuan saw that the hall was very lively, which was commensurate with the warm atmosphere in the hall. By coincidence, he saw a group of people surrounded there. In the past, it was Lin Qing, just think about it, in this city of Yingzhou, who doesn't give face to the Lin family, who doesn't flatter Lin Qing.

When everyone saw the Empress Dowager approaching, all their voices stopped abruptly, and they saluted together.

Mo Xuan followed Ning Yi as before, and after Ning Wei and Lin Ting saluted the queen mother, they greeted the emperor and queen. Under Ning Wei's words, all the people attending the banquet , and sat down in their respective positions.

Ning Wei sat upright on the seat and said with a smile: "Sitting alone is also very boring. Every year at the first snow palace banquet, I and the queen will prepare a lottery. This year is still the same. Those who can come to the banquet among the younger generation, They are all outstanding people, and they have their own good points, so let me take a real look at them."

And a voice came out from the banquet: "Ever since Second Miss Lin participated in it two years ago, how could the rest of us have a chance, every time it was Second Miss who overwhelmed everyone and won the prize prepared by the emperor and empress. "

"That's right, this second young lady is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which makes everyone feel ashamed."

Lin Qing stood up, and said respectfully and politely, "Everyone loves you, how can the little girl be like this, but everyone is giving way to the little girl."

"Second Miss's words are too modest."

Sitting at his own table, Mo Xuan listened to the flattering words of those people, really don't be too conspicuous, no matter how capable Lin Qing is, it should be enough, it's really boring.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from nowhere in the banquet, "I heard earlier that Princess Cheng is one of the best in Tianquan Kingdom. I wonder if I can see her beauty today?"

Hearing this, Mo Xuan frowned slightly. This is a matter of experience and demeanor, and it still depends on him and Lin Qing's head-on confrontation. He didn't take it seriously, "Since I came all the way from Tianquan Kingdom, of course I want to see this Donghai Kingdom. The demeanor of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, why do you have to look at me, a person who came from afar? Besides, the customs and customs of the two countries are different. The people of Tianquan think it is good. If you change the land, you may be out of place. I heard that such inconspicuous words, when you say it, don't pass your brain?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet laughed at the person who said that.

Lin Qing said slowly, "Wangfei's words are wrong. Although there are some discrepancies, this person's appreciation of beauty is similar. After all, this wonderful thing will always make people feel happy, isn't it?"

"Second Miss Lin is trying to compete with me?"

"Since it is a lottery prepared by the emperor and the empress, everyone here has a chance to fight for it, and they dare not take it. It is just asking for advice. After all, I also want to meet the first-class people in the capital of the Tianquan Kingdom. "Lin Qing smiled, "To put it bluntly, it's just at this palace banquet, come up with some interesting things to make the queen mother, emperor and empress look happy, it won't be in the martial arts field, where the sword is invincible. eye!"

Ning Yi looked at the person beside him, "Why don't I play a song with the princess?"

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, and one person said: "I heard that Second Miss Lin's piano skills were taught by the lord, but the lord has never played with the second lady. Today, I played with the princess. What's the situation? Looks like it's going to be a blessing."

Mo Xuan looked at Ning Yi, but didn't refuse. Ning Yi saw Mo Xuan's eyes, and immediately said, "Go get Qin Xiao."

"What tune to play?"

"When the concubine has nothing to do in the mansion, she doesn't often play the same piece of music, just that one."

Mo Xuan didn't say much, watching the palace people set up the qin in the middle of the palace, he didn't bother to talk, walked over and sat down, plucked the strings with his fingers, watched Ning Yi's eyes beckoning him to start, and slowly , Under the strings, the string sounds flowing out began to surround, the so-called lingering sound around the beam may mean this.

Everyone was astonished. They didn't expect that Princess Cheng's piano skills were so superb. Compared with Miss Lin, Princess Cheng's piano music was more imposing and unique. , it's really indescribable, as if it compares all the qin and flute ensembles in the world.

Lin Qing sat there, looking at the two people who fit so well in the center of the hall, the wine cup in her hand was clenched tighter and tighter. Rue Xiang saw it, stepped forward to hold her young lady's hand, and called out with a very soft voice. Saying 'Miss', then shook his head.

I don't know how long it took, when the sound of the zither and flute ensemble faded away in the hall, everyone in the hall came back to their senses, wishing they could listen to another song...

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting upright, smiled immediately, "Both of you, you really let Aijia appreciate a wonderful piece of music today, go back and sit down and use something."

Mo Xuan and Ning Yi went to one side and sat down in their own seats.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Ning Wei at the side, and said with a smile, "Emperor, what do you think?"

"What the queen mother said is very, very wonderful."

With the ensemble of King Cheng and Princess Cheng in front, who would dare to show it easily behind, Lin Qing was even more helpless, even if she had prepared carefully, she had no intention of going again. She wanted to ask Brother Cheng Wang to share with her that day. Play a song, brother Cheng Wang refused so directly, today it was just someone casually mentioning it, and just stood up to support the scene for Mo Xuan, even the songs that Mo Xuan played in passing time on weekdays can be so firmly remembered, she... …

Here, Mo Xuan sat down, and the eunuch on the left who added wine said softly, "Princess, let's have a cup of hot wine to keep you warm."

The moment Mo Xuan stretched out his hand to hold the cup of wine, a dagger appeared under the eunuch's sleeve and stabbed at Mo Xuan quickly. Aiming at the tip of the dagger, at the same time, the eunuch who was adding vegetables to his right also moved together.

Mo Xuan cleverly dodged it, threw away the cup in his hand, and shot quickly, respectively clasping the hands of the two men holding the murder weapon. Using his inner strength, he snatched the dagger from the two hands, and with a swipe, the sharp dagger cut the two men directly. The moment he was about to strike again, the two assassins in front of him fell to the ground directly, and Ning Yi stood beside him.

He threw the dagger in his hand on the ground, clapped his hands, looked at the two people on the ground, and snorted coldly, "It's interesting to assassinate me at the palace banquet. I can consider giving you a happy time."

With these sudden movements, everyone stood up in horror. No one expected that assassins would sneak into the palace banquet, or would they assassinate Princess Cheng?

The emperor and empress dowager had long been guarded by the imperial guards, and the palace was surrounded by those two assassins.
