Just as the ladies were discussing around Su Muyao, a high-pitched eunuch's voice came:
"Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, Concubine Liu Guifei has arrived -"
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "See Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine!"
Emperor Wu Shun and Liu Wanyue helped the Queen Mother sit down, one on the left and the other on the right, and said lightly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After everyone thanked them respectfully, they stood up carefully.
The Queen Mother looked a little pale and forced a smile, "The Ai family is feeling a little unwell and will leave after a while. You don't have to be formal, just feel free to do it."
"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother."
All three princes were present at this birthday banquet.
The third prince is already married to his wife, but the second prince is not yet married.
And Fu Beixian, who is also a noble son, is not married either.
Some noble ladies looked at Mo Ronyan secretly with regret, and finally their eyes fell on Mo Jinming and Fu Beixian.
When performing talents, he works extremely hard.
They understand that they are just members of a family marriage, and this birthday banquet in the palace is just an opportunity for them to show off.
Even if you can't marry into the royal family and become a concubine, it would not be bad if you can be favored by a well-matched wife.
Mo Jinming was extremely uncomfortable with the overt and covert looks from the ladies.
His eyes always fell on Tan Zhixi.
Tan Zhixi and Gu Shuya sat with their mother, looking at their nose and nose, looking at their heart.
Mo Rongyan and Su Ruotang were sitting under Emperor Wu Shun.
His cold white jade fingertips held the lavender grapes and peeled them slowly.
Jun's beautiful and elegant face still attracted the attention of countless noble ladies.
Su Ruotang held her chin with her small hand and looked at the fourth prince opposite.
Mo Chenyi obediently ate the cakes given by Mo Jinming with a crooked look on his face.
His eyes and expression were that of a three-year-old child.
Many noble ladies secretly paused at him and then looked away.
The fourth prince has no maternal family and is a foolish person. If she is a concubine in the family, there is no harm in marrying him.
But he is a prince after all, and even if he is a concubine, she must be the legitimate daughter of a small family.
It is impossible for the legitimate daughter who was carefully cultivated by their family to marry a fool with no power.
Mo Chenyi held the cake in both hands and shrank towards Mo Jinming.
He lowered his head, hiding the coldness in his eyes.
When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were full of fear, "Brother... Yiyi is afraid..."
Mo Jinming looked at the pastry crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped the crumbs off his mouth.
He took the half-eaten cake from his hand, poured him a cup of fruit tea, and comforted him in a low voice, "Fourth brother, don't be afraid, today is Grandma Huang's birthday, there are a lot of people."
"As soon as Grandma Huang leaves, my second brother will take you back to the house to rest."
"This pastry contains glutinous rice. If you eat too much, you will easily accumulate food. You are not allowed to eat any more."
Mo Chenyi acted extremely well-behaved. He nodded obediently and took a sip of the fruit tea.
Seeing him like this, Mo Jinming felt even more sorry for him.
The fourth brother's mother and concubine passed away early since he was a child. As the older brother, he should take care of him.
But where he couldn't see, the fourth brother was always bullied by the palace people.
Later, he and the third brother changed all the palace people around the fourth brother, and the fourth brother was finally not bullied by the palace people.
Mo Chenyi huddled next to Mo Jinming, looking like a child who suddenly saw many people and was extremely weak and helpless.
Shen Feng, disguised as a guard: "!!!"
My master's acting skills are really getting better and better.
If I hadn't known his true face in Lushan earlier, I would have been deceived by his weak and foolish appearance.
However, his master is too attached to the second prince...
Su Ruotang looked at Mo Chenyi, a little confused.
She always felt that Mo Chenyi's attachment to his second brother was a bit unlike the attachment between his younger brother and his older brother.
But looking at his innocent expression, I couldn't tell what was wrong.
This is how a three-year-old child clings to its relatives.
Mo Rongyan peeled several grapes, wiped his hands, gently lifted the corner of her face towel, put the grapes to her lips, and said softly:
"Fourth brother has been stupid since he was a child. Zilin Guard has investigated him many times. He is not pretending."
Su Ruotang's red lips were slightly opened and she held the grape in her mouth.
Instantly, sweet juice filled your mouth.
She nodded, raised her eyebrows, and raised her delicate chin with peace of mind, "More."
Mo Ronyan was amused by her arrogant little appearance, a low and endearing laughter escaped from his throat, and he picked up another grape and put it to her lips.
"Eat slowly. When it's not enough, I'll peel it off for you."
Countless noble ladies saw the way Mo Ronyan doted on Su Ruotang, and the jealousy in their eyes almost overflowed.
They really couldn't figure it out. Could it be that His Highness had an eye disease?
Otherwise, why would they fall in love with the third prince's concubine, a famous ugly girl in Dongqi, when there are so many beautiful ladies in the capital?
At the top of the list, Emperor Wu Shun always looked at Liu Wanyue cautiously.
Liu Wanyue never gave him a look from beginning to end.
Instead, he would discuss it with the Queen Mother from time to time.
When Emperor Wu Shun saw this, his eyes became even sadder.
He now has a direct phobia towards the concubines in the harem, fearing that they might bewitch him again without his knowledge.
Wow, being an emperor is so difficult.
He is no longer clean, and Wan'er doesn't want him anymore.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wu Shun suddenly looked at Mo Jinming and Mo Ronyan.
If he didn't become the emperor, he could take Wan'er around.
He doesn't have to worry about other concubines poisoning him, nor does he have to face those officials...
Mo Jinming, who was comforting Mo Chenyi, and Mo Ronyan, who was concentrating on feeding the third prince's concubine, suddenly felt a chill go down their backs.
They glanced at the sky suspiciously.
The stars are bright and the sky will not change.
The more Emperor Wu Shun looked at the two of them, the more he felt that his idea was feasible.
He coughed lightly and raised his hand to signal the ladies to pause their performance.
Just as he was about to speak, a young eunuch whispered a few words in Eunuch Gao's ear.
Gao Hai's expression suddenly changed, he glanced at Tan Zhixi, lowered his voice and approached Emperor Wu Shun, "Your Majesty, something has happened to Mr. Wang Hen, the Minister of Dali Temple."
