Chapter 22: It’s useless because a woman is dying
"The Emperor is here, the Empress is here!"
A voice came over and successfully interrupted the discussion of the crowd.
Feng Xiyao followed Mo Cangyan to the high platform in the main hall and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Feng Xiyao's attention was attracted by a pair of attractive couple in the audience.
She looked carefully and found that it was the prince who entered the palace with Bai Lianhua last time. But today he was sitting with a very beautiful girl and his eyes were always following her.
She pulled the tyrant aside curiously and asked, "Who is the woman next to Prince Nan'an?"
Mo Cangyan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw his brother staring at Princess Nan'an with an infatuated look on his face. He raised his eyebrows and spoke.
"The one next to Prince Nan'an is of course Princess Nan'an!"
Feng Xiyao opened her mouth in surprise, thinking, "Hasn't Mo Lingyun always thought that Lin Ling was his savior and hated Princess Nan'an for taking the place of his beloved? Now this infatuated look doesn't look like hatred!"
Mo Lingyun, who was peeling grapes for Zhang Luoyi, heard the sound and looked towards the two people in the hall.
He was certain that the voice came from Feng Xiyao. He didn't know why he could hear the voice of his sister-in-law in name only, but since she helped him find the real person in his heart, he would definitely repay her in the future.
Feng Xiyao pursed her lips and continued thinking.
[This Mo Lingyun is always good at acting. I think he is doing this for everyone to see. He is just waiting for the right time to divorce Princess Nan'an.]
Thinking of this, she smiled secretly.
[It just so happens that Feng Xiyao's brother, who is an official in Xuzhou, has no wife yet. Zhang Luoyi is so beautiful, dignified and elegant, she is a good candidate.]
[As soon as they get divorced, I will match my brother with Zhang Luoyi! ]
Thinking of this, Feng Xiyao nodded with satisfaction and withdrew his gaze.
Mo Lingyun paused. He had just been thinking about repaying his sister-in-law, but he hadn't expected that she had already started looking for a new husband for her daughter-in-law!
When he thought that his wife would leave him, Mo Lingyun hugged Zhang Luoyi and fed her the peeled grapes. Then he asked her with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
Zhang Luoyi suppressed the urge to shake him off and raised his eyes to meet his gaze.
"Master, you don't have to do this just to make Miss Lin jealous!"
Mo Lingyun: “…”
Seeing that he was stunned, Zhang Luoyi thought that she had spoken through his thoughts, and secretly pushed away his hands that were holding her.
Mo Lingyun looked at his empty hands and frowned. He just wanted to please his wife, but how did it turn out like this!
The daughter-in-law misunderstood him, and the emperor's sister-in-law wanted her brother to pry him apart...
Mo Cangyan in the hall heard Feng Xiyao's thoughts and glanced coldly at his younger brother below.
Thinking about how he neglected his wife because of Lin Ling, and how Lin Ling stole the military token, which led to the destruction of Da Xia, he became more and more disgusted.
"It's useless, because a woman is dying!"
Feng Xiyao heard the voice, turned to look at Mo Cangyan, and nodded.
[The two brothers are really useless. They were defeated by women! ]
Mo Cangyan: “…”
Mo Lingyun: “…”
The Spring Festival is actually similar to its name. It is a festival to welcome the Spring Festival. After all, everyone has to stay at home with their families during the Spring Festival, and ministers do not go to court.
So this festival allows everyone to get together and celebrate in advance.
Mo Cangyan raised his glass and stood up, and everyone present saw this and stood up and raised their glasses as well.
"Today is the third Spring Festival since I ascended the throne. This is a day for celebration. In addition, I have recently punished several treacherous officials who harmed the people. So today, everyone can drink as much as they want!"
"yes!"
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate and drank them all.
Feng Xiyao watched as everyone drank, so she also drank the wine in her hand.
After she finished drinking, her eyes lit up instantly.
After drinking this wine, it is not very spicy, but rather a little sweet at first. It hits the head directly after going down the stomach, and the stimulated brain becomes clear all of a sudden.
"Your Majesty, this wine is delicious!"
Mo Cangyan put down the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "This is the most famous Nuerhong in Xuzhou. Only ten bottles of wine can be produced each year. It is a good thing for the locals, so it tastes good!"
Feng Xiyao nodded and raised his hand to drink another glass.
Seeing that she wanted to continue drinking, Mo Cangyan stopped her: "Although this wine tastes good, it is very strong. Your Majesty should drink less!"
With her hand caught by the tyrant, Feng Xiyao pursed her lips and reluctantly put down the wine glass in her hand.
Below, Concubine Li, who saw the interaction between the two, almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
I worked so hard to organize this dinner, but I didn’t get a word of praise. I had to watch the emperor and Feng Xiyao being affectionate with each other!!
This was something she would never allow.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress has beautiful handwriting and is a famous talent in the capital. How about asking her to write a poem to congratulate us?" Concubine Li stepped forward and said.
Feng Xiyao: “???”
Mo Cangyan raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Xiyao who was evasive: "What does the Queen think?"
Feng Xiyao really wanted to refuse, but the original owner was indeed a famous talented woman, and she didn't know what excuse to make.
She laughed dryly: [I should have known that my mom would let me choose calligraphy when I signed up for an interest class! ]
The queen remained silent for a long time, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
Some people whispered.
"Could it be that the Queen is not as the rumors say, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
"I've seen the Empress' handwriting. It's very good, not like what you said!"
"If not, then why are you still hesitating?"
After hearing these words, Feng Xiyao tried to keep smiling and stood up: "Since everyone wants to watch it, I will definitely not spoil your fun today!"
She spoke loudly, without any worry on her face.
Mo Cangyan chuckled: Feng Xiyao has the toughest mouth in her body!
Concubine Li was afraid that Feng Xiyao would refuse, so when she saw that she agreed, she smiled triumphantly.
She was just waiting to see Feng Xiyao make a fool of herself. Whether she was a talented woman or not, everyone would know once the news came out.
Feng Xiyao walked to the writing brush and ink prepared by Concubine Li, picked up the brush, and looked up at Mo Cangyan in the hall, hoping that he could help her. Unexpectedly, Mo Cangyan did not even look at her and started drinking as if it had nothing to do with him!
[Tyrant, you really don't intend to help me? 】
“…”
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Feng Xiyao gritted her teeth, picked up the pen and was about to start writing!
“Wait!”
At this time, Mo Cangyan finally interrupted.
He stood up and walked down: "Since today is a festival worth celebrating, it would be best for me and the Queen to write a poem to celebrate it together!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on Feng Xiyao's fair hand.
Feng Xiyao was completely wrapped by him, and her nose was filled with the scent of sandalwood coming from the man.
She raised her eyes and her gaze fell on his thin lips which were gently pursed...
"Be serious!"
Mo Cangyan didn't look at her. He wrapped his bony hands around hers and led her to put down the pen. But the moment his hands touched the paper, he realized that there was something wrong with it.
