Too High to Reach

Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:

To marry a blue-robed scholar;

To live in a sunny little courtyard;

If she could also open a...

211. Chapter 211 Never See Others

Chapter 211 Never See Outsiders

Before I even reached the dining room, I could hear laughter and chatter inside.

When I went in, I saw that Li Chang was there. There were also a few strange men who seemed to be young and were talking to Li Jing.

Seeing them come in, Li Chang quickly called them over, "Sister-in-law!" He saluted enthusiastically.

Several others quickly followed suit: "Meet the princess."

"Fourteenth brother." Mo Yi nodded with a smile.

Mo Yuan took a look and thought, wow, she really looked like a "sister-in-law".

"Sister-in-law, these friends are..." Li Chang introduced them to Mo Yi one by one.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Li Chang had more than one good thing happen to him. He suddenly became a spirited young man.

Mo Yi didn't remember who the other people were, so he just said a few polite words.

Mo Yuan would not waste such an opportunity. After listening and scanning, she got a rough idea and quickly came to the conclusion: not as good as Zhang Debao.

So, he lowered his eyes and followed Mo Yi very obediently.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat back down next to Li Jing.

Li Jing looked over, and Mo Yi, Mo Yuan, Zhou Jiu and others knelt down to salute.

Concubine Tian was there with Qianqian and three concubines. Shao Ge'er was sitting next to Li Jing and did not see Concubine Feng.

After Mo Yuan sat down, she began to look around: Such a big dining room? It's almost half the size of the entire courtyard of the Mo family. The high roof, carved beams and painted buildings, and palace lanterns are hung. The tables and chairs are all made of fine wood and are covered with cushions.

The cups, plates, bowls and dishes were all very exquisite, and even the chopsticks were covered with silver tips...

Not to mention the dishes...and the utensils used for different dishes are very particular!

As he was turning his eyes, he noticed that Concubine Feng had arrived, followed by several maids and servants, looking very imposing.

When passing by his table, he didn't stop, but went straight in to pay his respects to the prince and nodded to Li Chang.

Li Chang did not stand up, but looked up and said with a smile: "Concubine Feng."

Everything fell into Mo Yuan's eyes. She leaned over to Mo Yi's ear and sneered, "Just now, the Fourteenth Master came over and called you sister-in-law. Now, he sits down and calls her concubine... The relationship and status are clear at a glance..."

Mo Yi didn't say anything, but pulled it secretly to stop her from talking. She thought: It seems that Concubine Feng still annoyed her...

Then he thought again: If Mo Yuan and he were in each other's shoes, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get along with Concubine Feng like she does now. Concubine Feng, let alone provoking her, would take the initiative to attack her even if she didn't provoke her!

If that's the case...what will the prince do?

It seems that there is indeed an explanation for putting people in the right positions.

The maids and servants started serving the dishes. This meal required more than twenty people to serve.

"Hey Mo Yi, does your family eat this every day?" Mo Yuan whispered in her ear again.

Mo Yi had no choice but to explain: "It's a little more during the Chinese New Year, but it's almost the same on weekdays..."

"My God, how much silver does this palace need in a year just for food?" Mo Yuan continued to whisper.

Mo Yi thought to himself: I don't know. Anyway, there is no way to avoid waste. I don't know if there is a reason for it or something else...

Concubine Feng was sitting opposite them, watching the two sisters whispering to each other, and sneered in her heart: Look at the behavior of these petty people!

The meal took quite a long time, and then Mo Yi accompanied Mo Yuan to see the yard where she lived.

The yard is not big, with three main rooms and a small side room, and two east and west wing rooms.

The living room is in the middle of the main room. It is obviously for the girl to live in. It is very elegant. There is a chess table, a piano stand, and a table and chairs for drinking tea.

There is a bedroom on each side, and the ear room is used for washing.

The bedroom is fully equipped with a bed, cabinet, dressing table, table and chair, and it is also very warm.

The maids had already packed up the things that Mo Yuan brought, and her colorful clothes were on the shelf.

Mo Yuan looked around and expressed her satisfaction. She said to Zhou Jiu, "We can wear pajamas and chat, drink tea, and play chess in the middle room..."

Miss Zhou Jiu was a little nervous. She didn't go into her room, but stood aside and looked at Mo Yuan.

Just look at that person, walking in and out with small steps, commenting, not treating himself as an outsider at all. I thought to myself: Although I am not worse than Mo Yuan in appearance, I seem to be better than her in manners.

However, he was not as carefree, fearless, curious and enjoying everything as her.

Suddenly he heard Mo Yuan talking to him, and he responded in an inaudible voice.

"Okay, you guys go and have some rest. I'll have the maid come and call you for dinner tomorrow morning."

After Mo Yi left, Zhou Jiu said good night to Mo Yuan, went back to his room, washed and changed his clothes, and then sat at the table to read.

In fact, she couldn't see it either.

Because I always heard some noises coming from Mo Yuan's side, as if she had finished her work in her room and then ran to the middle room to wander around, making noises and making no one knew what she was doing. Finally, she turned off the lights in the middle room and finally returned to her room.

But vaguely, I could still hear her humming a tune softly.

Zhou Jiu also went to bed and thought: Mo Yuan must have parents who love her very much.

My parents are also very loving...

"Your Highness..." After Mo Yi finished washing up, he stepped over Li Jing with a smile and went into the bed.

"Are you so happy? Isn't it just that your sister is here?" Li Jing asked casually while leaning against the headboard thinking about something.

Mo Yi let out a long breath and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Li Jing turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

The wife with black hair and white underwear. Her little feet were stretched into the quilt...

Looks very cute.

"I have lived with my sister for so many years, and sometimes I feel like I know her very well. But sometimes, what she says and does is always beyond my expectations!"

"Does she have any idea about her marriage?" Li Jing asked.

"She has her own ideas. Originally, there was one, and everyone in the family thought it was good, but she was not happy with it."

Li Jing smiled, didn't ask any more questions, lay down and pulled the quilt up.

Mo Yi was a little confused, why didn't he ask me? It was just right, so I told him about Zhang Debao's matter, his idea must be the most correct.

"Tomorrow morning, I told Mo Da and Mo Fan that we will go to Xu's house together, and then go to Zhao's house together in the afternoon."

Mo Yi yawned, "Okay. The New Year is pretty tiring..."

"Go to sleep..."

The next morning, Mo Yi packed up and asked someone to call Mo Yuan and Zhou Jiu.

The two girls in the small courtyard got up early in the morning.

Mo Yuan dressed herself up and came out of the house and called, "Ah Jiu, are you done?"

This familiarity made Zhou Jiu a little nervous, and he quickly came over to open the door, "Almost done. Miss Mo Yuan, you are so beautiful!"

Mo Yuan likes to wear green. Today she is wearing a velvet cross-collared, narrow-sleeved long gown with a slim skirt of the same material.

The velvet was not the thickest, but it was thick and hard. If it was filled with silk floss, it would be too bulky. Mo Yuan only had a thin lining inside, so she looked slim and graceful.

"I call you Ajiu and you call me Yuanyuan. We are family. Don't be so polite all the time." Mo Yuan saw that Princess Wenxiu was very attached to Zhou Jiu. In order to leave a good impression on the little girl and make it easier for her to live in the palace... she showed her kindness to Zhou Jiu.

"Okay. Yuanyuan." Zhou Jiu nodded and looked at her again: "Are you cold like this?"

"It's not cold, it's almost the beginning of spring. I'm visiting friends today, and it would be hot if I stayed indoors with so many people around. Besides, there are fur capes outside!" She looked at Miss Zhou Jiu and said, "Ajiu, the beige color you are wearing suits you very well, it's very elegant."

"My clothes are all light in color." Zhou Jiu was a little embarrassed.

"Then you have to wear a colorful hairpin. Today is New Year's Day, and those who have elderly people at home like bright colors!"

Zhou Jiu realized, "Yuanyuan, you are right. I will go look for it..."

"I'll help you find it..." Mo Yuan followed in.

The two of them packed up and went to pick up Xiangxiang first.

Li Xiangling didn't know how Auntie Jiu got along with this talkative girl... When he saw them coming, he went to see Zhou Jiu first.

Zhou Jiu looked very good today, with a bright smile, and the hairpin on her head made her look particularly delicate.

"I'm done packing, let's go!" Li Xiangling acted a little like an adult.

Mo Yi and Li Jing have already arrived at the dining room. There are no outsiders here today, so everyone sits at the same table.

"Prince, Princess!" As soon as Mo Yuan arrived, she smiled sweetly, enthusiastically and naturally.

Li Jing glanced at a few people and said nothing.

Mo Yi looked at Mo Yuan's clothes and asked, "Are you cold wearing so little?"

"Not cold." Mo Yuan looked at Mo Yi seriously, "Your clothes and jewelry are all new, right? Hey... these shoes."

Although she spoke in a low voice, Mo Yi didn't want her to look him up and down like that... "Okay. Let's have a cup of tea first."

"My lady, let me see what good things you have later." Mo Yuan came over again...

Concubine Feng didn't come for breakfast.

After finishing the meal, Li Jing lingered for a while and drank two cups of tea before he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Concubine Tian is not going today, but Qianqian is.

"Where is your concubine Feng?" Mo Yuan asked again.

"She won't go to the Xu family, she will go to the Zhao family in the afternoon." "Hey, because the Xu family is the princess's sister's in-laws' family, right? She would feel embarrassed if she went there. Hey, I see... your concubine has great ambitions!"

Mo Yuan glanced at Mo Yi with disdain, "You are usually stupid, so be careful of her... People like this need to be dealt with early!"

Mo Yi laughed secretly in his heart: I guessed right...
