Chapter 222 What is this for?
In the evening, Mo Yi waited for a long time before Li Jing came back.
"You're not asleep yet?" He smelled of alcohol. "I'll go wash up first."
"The maids are resting. May I come and serve you?"
"I can do it myself, you take a rest..." Li Jing took off his coat and threw it on the rack, then went into the inner room wearing his undershirt.
Mo Yi followed in anyway, helping to prepare the hot water and getting a towel.
"How is it? After your father came to see you, he finally felt relieved, right?" Li Jing asked with some sarcasm.
"Dad, it's just as you said! They are here to broaden their horizons. Their daughter actually lives in such a big and luxurious house. They have to see it for themselves."
Li Jing turned around and scratched Mo Yi's nose, "Well, he is indeed a blessed person."
After washing, the couple went to bed. "We don't have to go early tomorrow, right?" Mo Yi asked with a yawn.
"No need to go early, just take a walk and come back soon." Li Shi said lightly.
When Mo Yi heard this, it was pretty much what he had expected.
"I think we won't take Xiangxiang and the others with us. Jiu and Moyuan shouldn't go either. It's just the two of us. We can just sit for a while and then leave."
When Li Jing heard this, he laughed. This person's way of doing things was indeed more in line with his own ideas.
I called my sister here to help her find a good marriage. Usually, those who came with her were from suitable families.
There’s no need to go to the Prince’s Mansion.
Feeling drunk and sleepy, he put an arm around Mo Yi and fell asleep.
…
Concubine Feng didn't eat much that night and was taking care of her outside the whole time.
When Mo Yi and the others finished eating and went back, she was still there. She waited until the party was over and the fire was put out before returning to her room.
This is really tiring.
Mother Song knew that she was working hard, so she prepared a large bucket of hot water. She went in to soak in it for a while and almost fell asleep in it.
She hasn't had a good rest during this period.
Engagement, marriage, Chinese New Year...
At least Nanny Zhao did a lot of work for the wedding.
This year, Concubine Feng took full charge of the celebration herself.
Although it was still the New Year, there wasn't much to do next, so she could relax for a while. She asked the girls to ask around secretly, and everyone had a good reaction to today's arrangements. Many people praised her for her ability...
The only thing that annoyed her was Mo Yi!
You do nothing but enjoy what you have, yet you still find fault with it and cause trouble for me in front of the prince!
She knew she shouldn't be angry about this, but she just couldn't help it...
…
The next day at the Prince’s Mansion.
Sure enough, no one else was brought along, only Li Jing, Mo Yi, and Li Chang went.
The front living room of the Prince's Mansion was already very lively. He also had many close friends, including the Ninth Prince Li Pu.
Li Pu was also very busy, talking and laughing loudly...
The difference is that although Li Pu has his own little thoughts, he is also a prince, so he has to maintain some dignity.
Unlike Li Chang, who follows Li Jing like a little brother!
Li Yun is here too. He didn't go to Prince Qi's mansion yesterday, and Li Jing didn't post a message for him...
Although the relationship between him and Li Jing was not as tense as that between Li Pu and Li Jing, they were not close either.
The prince, who is like the moon surrounded by stars, is dressed in home clothes today, a silk and linen jacket. The fabric has its own luster and wrinkles, making him look elegant and refined.
Her hair was simply combed up with only a jade hairpin inserted in it.
His eyes were bright and his smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze. "Seventh brother, Seventh sister-in-law, Fourteenth brother, you came too late! Didn't you hear the joke just now..."
Everyone laughed again.
It seems that the prince's good job has excited everyone, even Li Pu's face is flushed...
Li Jing smiled indifferently, "I drank too much yesterday..."
The prince's smile deepened, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the back and talk to your sister-in-law?"
Someone immediately took Mo Yi to the back.
The layout and architecture of these mansions are similar. After passing through the moon gate in the front yard, you will reach the back yard.
Several palace maids and eunuchs were standing at the door.
Eunuchs are also the difference between the Prince's Palace and the Prince of Qi's Palace, as the Prince of Qi's Palace does not have any eunuchs.
Those people recognized Mo Yi and hurried forward to pay their respects. The palace maid also introduced a very beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes next to her. She was one of the prince's concubines and her surname was Lin.
Concubine Lin was also very polite and said that she was coming to pick her up on the orders of the Crown Princess.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they walked in. Mo Yi did not want the sedan chair carried by the maid, saying that he wanted to walk to see the surrounding buildings and gardens.
The Prince's Palace is larger and more luxurious than the Prince of Qi's Palace.
Although there are no flowers or plants at this time, it can be seen that the garden is carefully cared for.
"There are a few grape vines over there. In autumn, they will produce a lot of very sweet grapes." Concubine Lin was sitting in a sedan chair, so she couldn't walk that far.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at the main hall. There were children playing in the open space in front.
As I got closer, I could faintly hear voices of laughter in the house.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Qi has arrived." A maid went in to report the news.
"Please come in quickly!" the Crown Princess ordered.
Mo Yi came in and saw a room full of people.
The Crown Princess came over with a smile and pulled Mo Yi inside, "There are no outsiders here today, so don't be polite."
Present were the Fourth Prince's Consort, the Ninth Prince's Consort, several Princesses of the County Princes, three Princesses including Princess Yu'an, and three or four Princesses of the County. There was even Madam Liu... She went to the Prince's Mansion yesterday, and came to the Crown Prince's Mansion today. She was quite busy.
Mo Yi had seen most of them. The status of the guests was obviously higher than those who went to the Qi Wang Mansion...
The prince also has two concubines, three wives, and several maids. His backyard is even more lively than the Prince of Qi's palace!
Especially the concubine Zhang, who wore gorgeous makeup without concealing it, and had a proud expression. She nodded at Mo Yi, apparently looking down on him.
Princess Yu'an was sitting and playing cards with a few people. She turned to look at Mo Yi and asked, "Why are you here just now? Do you know how to play mahjong?" Her attitude was friendly and natural.
"Really not!" Mo Yi replied with a smile.
"Hey, come here, come sit next to me and go to school!" Princess Yu'an treated Mo Yi like this, causing the people around them to speculate curiously.
"Princess, play first. I'll talk to Sister-in-law Wu."
The Crown Princess pulled Mo Yi to sit down and looked at the accessories on her body. "You are really good at dressing up. You always have something new."
"I like to tinker with these on weekdays, but I only remember to put them on when I go out. At home, I prefer to be more comfortable."
The Ninth Princess was sitting next to them. She smiled maliciously and said, "Sister-in-law Seven's outfit is indeed quite interesting. Have you seen the Princess of Qi mentioned earlier?"
The Crown Princess gave her a reproachful look, but the Ninth Princess smiled and pretended not to see it.
The Fourth Princess asked curiously, "You mean Zhou Li, Fairy Li?" Then she looked at Mo Yi and said, "I think you haven't seen her before. There's a big age difference."
"That's a pity!" Concubine Zhang opened her mouth, "Fairy Li, she is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Her clothes and jewelry have also set the trend in the capital many times..." After saying that, she looked at Mo Yi wantonly, "But her clothes are all very expensive. Not what Princess Qi has..."
Her meaning was obvious: Mo Yi knew that the previous princess liked to dress up, so she also got some new and interesting things to wear.
Laughing at her for imitating others...
Mo Yi was completely speechless. He hadn't even sat down yet, what were these people trying to do?
The Crown Princess couldn't hold back her expression. "Okay," she said in a serious tone.
The Fourth Princess and the Ninth Princess did not dare to argue with the Crown Princess and could only smile awkwardly.
The Crown Princess asked Mo Yi again, "Why didn't you bring Xiangxiang with you? The girls asked about it just now."
Before Mo Yi could answer, Concubine Zhang said in an unpleasant tone: "Isn't this just chatting?"
She was beautiful, savage, and of good family background. Her father and brother were the crown prince's confidants. She also gave birth to two sons for the crown prince!
In her heart, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, she will definitely be the queen.
What happened to the Crown Princess? With me here, she might have a hard time giving birth to a son... Without a son, it will only be a short-lived glory.
So she didn't care about what the Crown Princess said, "Princess Qi, you are a genuine commoner princess. You may not know that your marriage into the palace has caused quite a stir in the capital! I don't know how many girls have the dream of becoming a princess."
The Crown Princess frowned and said, "Concubine Zhang, you talk too much." This was considered a heavy punishment for the Crown Princess.
Princess Yu'an pretended to play cards, but her mind was actually here. Seeing that everyone was rushing towards Mo Yi, a smile appeared on her lips.
Mo Yi shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that Concubine Zhang, who can't even leave the house normally, can still know so much information..."
