MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 122
Mo Dai informed Xiao Sheng of her situation and the general situation in the Qiongguo Palace.
"That is to say, the wife-lord now has dozens of husbands-in-law and four children?" Xiao Sheng asked, his face full of sympathy. People who are not familiar with Modai may say that she is very lucky, but he knows that Modai You will definitely be troubled by this matter.
"If I continue to play the role of the eldest princess, it will be so in name." Modai sighed, she just wanted to live an ordinary life, why is it so difficult?
Xiao Sheng took Mo Dai into his arms and patted her on the back to comfort her, but he was also at a loss in his heart, if the wife was the princess of Qiong Kingdom, their future life would not be peaceful.
Mo Xiaoyi nestled obediently in Modai's arms, holding onto Modai's clothes tightly with her small hands, and sniffed the breath on Modai's body over and over again to make sure that his mother would not disappear suddenly or be replaced by another person . These days, Xiao Sheng and Mo Xiaoyi have been locked in the secret room of Xiukun Palace. Although the secret room is large enough, and there is light in the daytime, and there is all food and drink in it, they are imprisoned .
"Liang, I miss Fei's family!" Mo Xiaoyi said aggrievedly, he missed his father, his brother, and his grandfather.
"Okay, mother, take Xiaoyi home."
"Liang, I can't live with Da Fang Zhi, Fei's family!" Mo Xiaoyi thought of the place where he and Xiao Sheng were imprisoned before, feeling disgusted in his heart.
"Okay, don't stop, go home."
…
When Guan Yufeng ran out, he was only crying and sad. On the way to the small garden he used to go to, he accidentally bumped into a wall, and his small body fell to the ground. The pain in his buttock made his tears flow more and more. When he got angry, he just sat on the ground and wept softly.
"It's useless to cry." A low and hoarse male voice suddenly came from above his head, cold and emotionless.
Guan Yufeng raised his face and looked at the man in front of him through his tearful eyes. It was the man's leg that he bumped into just now.
Guan Yufeng didn't speak, tears kept streaming.
Guan Xuan looked down at him indifferently: "You have to work hard to get what you want, it's useless to cry." After finishing speaking, he walked past him to Chaoyang Palace.
After walking for a while, Guan Xuan stopped, and the footsteps following behind him also stopped.
Guan Xuan ignored the little one behind him, he didn't know how to comfort a little doll, he was only a young man himself, although he looked old and deep, but he lacked something, he always understood that he didn't have anything Sympathetic and compassionate, but when seeing Guan Yufeng crying alone, he felt upset and irritable.
"Uncle Xuan, does my mother hate me?" Guan Yufeng asked suddenly.
Guan Xuan still didn't speak, but he was a little angry and jealous at the same time. Being loved by his sister, this kid is a blessing he has cultivated in several lifetimes, and he is still doubting and crying because of it, hum!
"Mother is only focused on holding another child, and doesn't look at me..." Guan Yufeng muttered aggrievedly.
"No." Guan Xuan couldn't hold back in the end, he really wanted to lift the little one behind him and shake him, he was not greedy enough, could it be that my sister can only hug him as a child? What do you think? madness!
Guan Yufeng didn't understand Guan Xuan's words, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he followed Guan Xuan to Chaoyang Palace step by step.
Mo Xiaoyi was sleepy and didn't see Guan Yufeng just now, but when he saw him now, he stared at him curiously.
"Come here, Yufeng." Mo Dai beckoned to him, Guan Yufeng stepped forward hesitantly, Xiao Sheng picked him up and put him on the soft couch to sit on, facing Mo Xiaoyi's big eyes staring at him .
Mo Xiaoyi is typical. He can peek at others. If others look at him, he will run away shyly. When he realizes that Guan Yufeng is also looking at him, Mo Xiaoyi hurriedly hides beside Modai.
"Xiao Yi, this is brother." Modai smiled and patted his head.
Guan Yufeng looked at Mo Xiaoyi enviously, he also wanted his mother to touch his head, so he took the initiative to call out: "Brother!" Sure enough, after he called, his mother smiled at him softly, Guan Yufeng was very happy Yes, the previous depression and sadness were swept away.
Mo Xiaoyi was still a little shy, but after all, they were children of the same age, and after a while, the two children played together.
Mo Dai asked Xiao Sheng to watch the two children, while she and Guan Xuan went to the side room to talk about things.
"Sister, the prince has already stayed at the Xiangyun Inn. There is still half a day's journey away from the palace, and he will arrive at the palace at noon tomorrow." Guan Xuan said in a low voice.
"Well, good." Mo Dai nodded. If all goes well, she will be able to go home tomorrow. Thinking of this, Mo Dai is a little excited.
Guan Xuan naturally didn't know what Mo Dai was thinking, and was a little disappointed to see Mo Dai's radiance. It turned out that his sister was happy with the first prince of the Yun Kingdom, and when he heard that he was coming, her eyes were so bright that he dared not look directly at him.
"Sister, you really..." Don't you want to stay?
"Guan Xuan, you should understand that I am not suitable for this place."
"But if you leave like this, the empress will still send someone to look for you in the future!"
"That's a problem..." Mo Dai put one hand on her waist, put one hand on her chin, and frowned, "Then I'll go talk to the empress tonight, and I'll let you handle the eldest princess's political affairs in the future. If there are important events, the empress must be present Yes, you can write me a letter in advance, and I will try my best to show my face, how about it?"
Guan Xuan smiled wryly, somewhat puzzled why Mo Dai mentioned twice that he was required to handle political affairs, even if there was no princess in the palace, it would not be his turn: "Sister, as I said, the Queen Mother will not agree!"
"It depends on human effort. If today's negotiation is not successful, then I can do it first!" Mo Dai is very confident in Qiongqing's ability to transfer thoughts.
Guan Xuan didn't speak, thinking that Mo Dai guessed it was just joking, so he didn't pay much attention.
After talking with Guan Xuan for a while, Mo Dai led Xiao Sheng and the two children to the imperial dining room. She promised to give Guan Yu some barbecue, but she couldn't break her promise at this juncture.
The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room are really not simple. Modai doesn't need to do it himself, but only uses his mouth to order, and the imperial chefs will prepare the ingredients properly. Pork belly slices, chicken legs, chicken wings, fish, potato chips, etc. are placed in a high pile. .
The barbecue was carried out in the courtyard of the imperial dining room. Guan Yu and Miaoyi complained a lot at first, thinking that it would be a honor for them to come to the imperial dining room to eat in person, but when they really tasted the kind of meat that is grilled and eaten while it is hot, When it's delicious, it's all under the delicacy.
Because the ingredients were prepared a lot, Guan Yu called his own harem and Guan Yuan’s harem to eat together. In the cold weather, holding a lantern, stomping his feet while eating barbecue, although there was no cumin powder, But there is plenty of chili powder, both Guan Yuneng and Miaoyi can eat spicy food and enjoy it. And those men were a little restrained and shy at first, but they soon let go and ate their food.
When the ingredients were almost consumed, everyone held their stomachs and shouted for support. Mo Dai also ate while roasting, she was 80% full at this time, it was ok, roasted the remaining ten or so chicken legs and ten or so chicken wings, put them on a plate, and prepared to take them back to Chaoyang Palace. Although Maru Niu disappeared for a whole day, she knew that it would definitely return at night, just to reward it.
Guan Yu looked at Mo Dai with a full belch, and said with a smile: "Ordinary meat has a special flavor after eating it, not bad! By the way, what are you going to eat tomorrow morning?"
Mo Dai was a little embarrassed, she had just finished dinner and was thinking about tomorrow's breakfast, and Guan Yu really deserved the word "foodie". But right now she has to absolutely follow her, so she smiled and said: "Then what does the Empress want to eat?"
"I want to eat... No, it would be boring if I said it. What I want is the surprise every time I open the food box, Yuaner, will you satisfy the Queen Mother?" Guan Yu looked expectant, his eyes It was even more shining, making Mo Dai's whole body get goosebumps.
"Well, my son will definitely do his best!"
At Xushi, Mo Dai led Xiao Sheng and the two children, and followed Guan Xuan to Chaoyang Palace. Halfway there, a dark guard in black appeared, saying that Her Majesty the Empress was looking for her.
Mo Dai thought that she was going to talk to Guan Yu alone, but she didn't expect Guan Yu to come to her on her own initiative, so she followed her and asked Guan Xuan to **** Xiao Sheng and the two children back to Chaoyang Palace.
After a quarter of an hour, the atmosphere in the imperial study room was subtly quiet. The red candle on the candlestick shed tears silently, and the wick occasionally jumped slightly, making a light crackling sound.
Guan Yu said nothing, and neither did Modai.
Shaoqing, Guan Yu couldn't help it anymore: "Have you thought about it, Mo Dai? If you can accept your sister's husband, I will trust you, and will allow you to go back as you said, and I need you on important occasions When I attend, I will send a letter in advance to invite you back to the palace, and you can enjoy the rest of the time!"
Guan Yu could see the traditional rigidity in Mo Dai's bones. The more Mo Dai was like this, the more she felt that Mo Dai was uncontrollable. If Mo Dai could accept Guan Yuan's husband, she would feel more at ease.
Mo Dai gritted her teeth with hatred, the old fox knew she was unwilling, but still forced her.
"Then the first prince of the Qiong Kingdom who will arrive tomorrow will be the You Zhengjun of my son? But I heard that when the envoy went to Yun Kingdom to ask for marriage, he asked in the name of his sister Guan Yuan!" Mo Dai suddenly asked .
Guan Yu was startled, then smiled and said: "It's natural, if you accept Yuan'er's other husbands, Prince Yun Kingdom will naturally be yours too! If you are willing, let your Zuo Zhengjun arrange one of them tonight." Let's go to sleep!" The eldest daughter Guan Yuan is gone, she originally wanted to take Prince Yun as her own, since Mo Dai wanted it, she would not be stingy, at least she knew that Mo Dai also liked it, the previous Repeated refusals are nothing but prudence!
The corner of Mo Dai's mouth twitched: "Rong Erchen think about it."
Guan Yu chuckled: "It's really worthless, but it's hard for you to accept a few men. As a queen, it's impossible to be so petty!"
"How can my son have the aura and momentum to control the world and control the world like the empress, and the empress is now in good health, so she can be the empress for another hundred years!"
"Hey, I know how to say good things, that's enough, you go back, don't think too long, or the prince of Yun Kingdom will be accepted by me!" Guan Yu said with a smile that was not a smile, and when he saw Mo Dai, he stiffened instantly. A dark light of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
When Mo Dai returned to Chaoyang Palace, she found that Maru Niu had already returned, and was snuggling up to Mo Xiaoyi, gnawing on the chicken leg, while Guan Yufeng was watching it politely.
Maru Niu raised his eyes and glanced at Modai, and kept talking: Woman, do you know where I went today? That stinky cat croaked and lured me there!
Modai: Have you found Guiyi?
Maru Niu: Well, I found it. That stupid thing actually competed with the woman who kidnapped Xiao Sheng and Xiao Yi who is better at using poison. Now both of them are poisoned, and they are in a small merchant's courtyard dozens of miles away from the imperial palace. Li's eyes are wide open!
Modai's eyelids trembled: Can't move the whole body?
Maruniu humming: That's right, two idiots! Because the small courtyard belongs to the woman, no one would go there on weekdays, and those two have been like that since yesterday. Guagua wanted to save his master, so he came to the palace to ask for help, so I went!
Mode: Have you saved them?
Maruniu blinked his eyes unnaturally: I don't understand poisons, I can go and see them is the most benevolent! But they said that the poison's properties would last for two days and two nights, and he couldn't die. The little bald man gave me two pills. The black one was mixed with water, and it could bring down hundreds of people. The white one was the antidote for safety. For your sake, use it tomorrow!
Maru Niu blinked at Mo Dai, and Mo Dai stepped forward, hugged Maru Niu in her arms as if lovingly, touched her big ears, tilted its head, and poured a black grain from its ear hole. The pill, quickly put it into the sleeve.
Mo Dai was a little curious about the place where Maru Niu hid his things, so he asked: They can't move anymore, how did they give you the poison, could it be quack?
Maru Niu: It's that stinky cat that scratched Lao Tzu's ear!
Mo Dai carefully inspected Wan Niu's ear, and sure enough, there was a scab of blood on the inner side of the ear. Maru Niu angrily gnawed a bite of the chicken leg, as if he regarded the chicken leg as a cat, Mo Dai wanted to laugh, but was afraid of hurting Maru Niu's pig respect, so he could only hold back.
That night, Mo Dai couldn't sleep, both excited and worried.
Xiao Sheng was lying beside him, and the two children and Maru Niu slept in the innermost part.
"My wife, why don't you go to sleep?" Xiao Sheng pulled Mo Dai's arm behind her head into the bed, and naturally tucked her arm under the back of Mo Dai's head to serve as a pillow for her, and hugged her into the bed arms.
"This bed is too expensive. Since I came here, I haven't had a good night's sleep. The same is true for you. Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight!" Mo Dai put her arms around Xiao Sheng's waist, feeling his waist was clear. Reduced a lot.
"I think about my wife and home every night, and the more I think about it, the more I can't sleep, but I can't help thinking about it!" Xiao Sheng looked at Mo Dai, his eyes shining in the dark.
Modai couldn't help but kissed the corner of his lips lightly, jokingly said: "If you were not in this cold palace, and you seduce me like this, I really wouldn't be able to bear it!"
Xiao Sheng smiled, hugged Mo Dai tighter and tighter, the heartbeats of each other were very clear in the dark.
At noon the next day, Yun Kingdom's first prince, Qiongqing, arrived at the Qiong Kingdom Palace. To show his sincerity, Empress Guan Yu personally led all the civil and military officials to greet him at the gate of the palace.
Qiongqing was wearing a luxurious moon-white robe, like clouds and snow, spotless, wearing a bamboo hat, with layers of moon-white tulle hanging on the hat, blowing in the wind, his true face was faintly visible in the tulle, forcing People want to lift those layers of veils to see his magnificent appearance.
Behind Qiongqing were two handsome attendants, who were also of superior appearance and demeanor. One master and two servants walked gracefully on the red carpet stretching to Xiukun Palace, and behind them was a large group of escorts.
Mo Dai looked over carefully, and found that there were two servants behind Qiongqing, one of whom was porcelain glaze, and there was no one she could recognize among the escorting envoys.
Guan Yu and the ministers were all so amazed by Qiongqing's immortal demeanor that they clicked their tongues again and again, wishing they could have a banquet right away, so that they could see Qiongqing's true face.
The banquet is scheduled for the second quarter of the unitary hour, and the venue is in the nave of Xiukun Palace. Xiukun Palace is divided into the front hall, the middle hall and the inner hall. The front hall is the place where the empress and civil and military officials discuss affairs in the early court. . Prince Qiongqing came to Qiong Kingdom to marry and was escorted by many envoys, which was a symbol of the friendship between the two countries and was of great significance. Naturally, a banquet was held in the nave.
The prince Qiongqing and his entourage were arranged to live in the Yuehua Hall in the west of Xiukun Palace, while those escorting envoys could not live in the palace. After the banquet, they had to live in the post house not far from the palace.
At the time of You, Mo Dai came to the imperial dining room, and the imperial chefs knew her very well. They smiled and asked her what dishes she wanted to cook this time. Mo Dai shook her head and said that she was hungry and couldn't wait for the dinner to start, so she wanted to come here to find something to eat first. pads. Mo Dai walked around, and finally left with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
In the shadow of a rockery directly opposite the gate of Yuehua Palace, Mo Dai and Maru Niu were sharing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate while looking inside the palace gate.
Maru Niu: Tell me, we are hiding here while eating and staring at the Yuehua Palace. What will the hidden guards who are watching you in the dark think?
Mody: What else can you think? Say that I am obsessed, but I have a wicked heart and no guts, otherwise I wouldn't be looking at the palace gate eagerly!
Maruki: You do have self-knowledge! Have you put everything away!
Modai: Let it go, put it in the wine.
Maru Niu: I've never seen someone who prescribes drugs in such an open and honest way as you! Let's go, give the prince the antidote, everyone else can faint, but he can't faint, and expect him to shift his mind!
Mo Dai casually threw the empty plate back and threw it at the hiding place of one of the hidden guards behind him, causing the man to jump away in a hurry. Mo Dai swaggered to Yuehua Hall with Maru Niu in her arms, and the palace people on both sides of the door saluted her one after another.
When Mo Dai came to the courtyard, she stopped. After the palace servants went in to report, a servant hurried out from the hall. The servant was porcelain glaze. When she saw Mo Dai, she was shocked. When he entered the palace, he didn't look sideways, he didn't dare to look at the Queen of Qiong Kingdom and the ministers, so the first time he saw Modai's face, he felt that he saw a ghost, and he was so frightened that he lost his voice for a moment.
Modai smiled, and blinked at him inconspicuously. Coupled with the Maru Niu in her arms, Ci Mei immediately knew that she was Modi. There was surprise in her eyes, but then she became sad again, and her tears were unaffected. Flowed down in a controlled manner.
"Mo..."
"Don't cry, don't cry, come, tell this hall, is the prince feeling unwell for the first time?" Mo Dai interrupted the enamel, stepped forward, and when passing him, said softly at a volume that only he could hear, "I want to go in and find Qiongqing, cover for me and get another servant out!"
Hearing what Mo Dai said, Ciena's tears flowed even more fiercely, and she tried her best not to cry out.
"What's wrong with you?" Mo Dai was a little puzzled.
Porcelain shook her head vigorously, and then shook her head again, but no words came out of her mouth.
At this time, Guan Yu also came to see Qiongqing, and met Mo Dai in the courtyard.
Guan Yu's mouth curled into an inexplicable smile: "Yuan'er, can't you wait just a quarter of an hour?"
The corner of Mo Dai's mouth twitched, and she smiled on the surface: "Isn't the Queen Mother the same, we are each other!"
Ciena looked at Mo Dai through her tearful eyes, then at Guan Yu, and then heard their names, her figure suddenly swayed, as if she had been hit, and she was stunned.
"Since our mother and daughter want to be together, let's do it together!" Guan Yu stepped forward and patted Mo Dai on the shoulder, and Mo Dai forced herself to smile.
"Okay, let's go together."
Guan Yu and Mo Dai walked into the inner hall, one was the empress of Qiong Kingdom, and the other was the titular princess of Qiong Kingdom. With such identities, Qiongqing must give face and could only come out to meet them.
When a cloud of moonlight floated out from behind the screen, Guan Yu held his breath subconsciously, but Mo Dai seemed to be an old god, so Guan Yu gave her a white look, thinking that she was putting on an act, and Mo Dai didn't refute it, her expression Very calm.
When Qiongqing came out, Qiongqing took off her veil as expected, Guan Yu was amazed, and Mo Dai was stunned.
The porcelain glaze outside the hall was sitting slumped on the ground at this moment, crying sadly, if he had known that Miss Mo was the princess of Qiong Kingdom, His Highness would not have missed it!
"Qionqing pays homage to Her Majesty the Empress, Your Royal Highness the Great Empress!" The handsome man bowed and saluted, his every move was graceful and picturesque, Guan Yu was fascinated by it, but Mo Dai felt like being poured with cold water for a moment, wishing to curse, old thief God, are you kidding me?
That's right, the person here is not Qiongqing, maybe other princes who are similar in shape, temperament, and appearance to Qiongqing. Beauty is beautiful, but compared with Qiongqing, it is still far behind. Most importantly, he will not The mind shifted, the moment she thought about it, it was like a beautiful phantom when she arrived home, the rippling waves disappeared when she touched her finger!
Maru Niu also suffered a big blow, he thought, no wonder that kid Ciena was crying so hard, it turned out that the one who married to Qiong Kingdom was not the real Prince Qiongqing, but that kid had to be married, what a pity!
After that, Mo Dai didn't know how she walked out of Yuehua Palace, because she was so disappointed that before leaving, she didn't notice the hopeful eyes that Ciena cast on her. Mo Dai claimed that she was ill and did not attend the dinner that day, so she did not know it. The dinner only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and everyone who drank the wine was so drunk that even Prince Qiongqing was no exception.
Mo Dai was lying on the soft couch, with her head resting on Xiao Sheng's legs and her eyes were closed, and Maru Niu was lying in her arms weakly, while Mo Xiaoyi and Guan Yufeng were playing with sandbags beside the soft couch. What Mode said was for them to play.
When Guan Xuan walked in and told Mo Dai what was going on at the banquet, Mo Dai just lazily responded, Guan Xuan felt strange, but it was inconvenient for him to ask if Mo Dai didn't say anything.
But at this moment, someone from the palace reported that the servants around Prince Qiongqing wanted to find Mo Dai, and Mo Dai agreed.
Then, the enamel went into the cella.
