Chapter 257 Mrs. Zheng's "Provocation"
Following Yao Jia into the mansion, Mo Jun's first feeling was 'there are too many women'.
But this is no wonder.
Although Meiren Yao invited many guests this time, the venue for the banquet was the harem after all, so most of the courtiers who were invited did not come to the banquet in person, but sent their daughters to come forward.
Only a very small number of 'family members' who are blood related to the royal family or Yao Meiren will send men to the banquet.
because of this.
When Mo Jun saw Yao Jia at the door before, he was a little surprised, and immediately thought of his relationship with Yao Meiren through his surname.
Yao Meiren's mansion was originally full of noisy voices, but after Mo Jun walked into the mansion, the whole banquet hall suddenly fell silent for a moment.
Everyone cast curious glances at Mr. Mo, both adults and children.
no way.
Over the years, various legends of Mr. Mo have been introduced to the deep palace compound in Xianyang through various channels, and they are still versions after many times of dissemination.
Even Mo Jun's image, in the eyes of many people, is about to turn into an 'immortal'.
Anything young and promising, talented and rich, handsome, civil and military... can only be regarded as pediatrics.
Now Mo Jun is the most widely circulated image in Jianghu, basically he has no connection with others.
Saints reincarnated, gods descended to earth, heaven and earth, resurrected from the dead...anyway, it was outrageous.
It’s been passed on a lot.
Gradually, many people really believed it. This is why when Mo Jun appeared in Hanzhong, a large group of people worshiped and prayed directly in front of him.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for these concubines who have been in the harem for many years and have not been out of Xianyang Palace not to be curious about Mr. Mo.
And when these princesses saw Mr. Mo, their eyes lit up.
Don't say anything else.
First of all, Mr. Mo is really handsome.
Based on this point alone, these concubines in the deep palace compound know that the legends from the outside world still have certain credibility.
"teacher."
"It's Fusu! Is it going well recently?"
"Thanks to the teacher, everything is going well."
Mr. Mo was brought by Yao Jia to sit in a seat in the front row of the banquet, and not long after he sat down, he saw Fusu walking over.
Behind Fusu was Mrs. Zheng holding a baby.
"I see Mrs. Zheng."
Mr. Mo got up and saluted.
"Mr. Shengping doesn't need to be too polite."
"Thank you ma'am."
Mo Jun straightened up and looked at Mrs. Zheng opposite. This was the first time Mo Jun and Mrs. Zheng met. Mrs. Zheng was looking at Mo Jun with a smile at the moment, and suddenly said: "Sheng Ping Jun wants to hug your future son." wife?"
"Er... I'm a thick-handed and thick-footed minister, let's forget it!"
Mo Jun looked at the baby in Mrs. Zheng's hands, and the baby was not too shy. After realizing that Mo Jun was looking at her, she also stared directly at Mo Jun like this.
"Hehehe~~~ It seems that the sixth princess likes you very much!"
But Mo Jun's mood at this time is extremely complicated. If he has to describe it, he feels like a 'beast' now, and an indescribable sense of guilt arises spontaneously.
"Mr. Changping is here."
"The Empress Dowager Huayang has arrived."
At this moment, the servant's call came from outside the door again.
Hearing this visitor, everyone in Yao Meiren's mansion stood up one after another and came to the main entrance to greet them.
Mr. Mo also came out with the crowd. After everyone stood respectfully in front of the main entrance, the Empress Dowager Huayang slowly got off the carriage with the support of Mr. Changping.
"Chen (concubine) see the Empress Dowager."
"No courtesy."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
The crowd straightened up, and Mo Jun stood in front of the crowd. After all, this was the second time he had seen the Queen Mother Huayang.
But if you look closely, it can only be regarded as the first time.
The last time I saw the Empress Dowager Huayang was when Yingzheng invited Mo Jun to go to Huayang Palace as a doctor to treat the Empress Dowager Huayang.
Of course, Mr. Mo doesn’t know how to take the pulse, but it doesn’t matter whether Mr. Mo can see a doctor at that time, because it was Ying Zheng who invited Mr. Mo to go through the process in order to show his filial piety.
Even at that time, Ying Zheng was worried that Mo Jun's medical skills were too good, so he secretly met with Mo Jun before the opening ceremony of [Baijia Academy], and gave Mo Jun some 'hints'.
So after the pulse diagnosis was over, Mo Jun happily gave an answer that was no different from other imperial physicians.
"The empress dowager is not sick, this is a sign of the end of life, so... there is no cure, just wait to die!"
Of course.
Mr. Mo would not answer so bluntly, but the meaning is similar.
The Empress Dowager Huayang got out of the carriage, Mrs. Zheng and Fusu hurried up to greet her, and together with Mr. Changping helped the Empress Dowager Huayang into the mansion.
From beginning to end.
Empress Dowager Huayang and Lord Changping seemed to have not seen Lord Mo.
······
After the arrival of the Empress Dowager Huayang, the banquet officially began.
The Empress Dowager Huayang sat on the throne.
Mo Jun and Xiong Qi were in the front row, sitting opposite each other. Originally, Fu Su was next to Mo Jun, but not long after the banquet started, the Empress Dowager Huayang, who was in the main seat, suddenly patted the seat beside her , opened the mouth.
"Come on, Fusu, come to my great-grandmother, I haven't seen you for so long, let my great-grandmother take a good look at you."
This is a very normal thing. The Empress Dowager Huayang has always loved Fusu very much. Just stand up.
But just as Fusu got up, he heard Mrs. Zheng beside him suddenly say: "Fusu, don't be rude."
Following Mrs. Zheng's words, the atmosphere of the banquet seemed to freeze for a moment. All eyes were on Mrs. Zheng in an instant.
Under the eyes of everyone, Madam Zheng stood up suddenly, bowed to the Queen Mother Huayang and said, "I also ask grandma to make amends. Now Fusu has the power to 'supervise the country' after all. Although today is a day of great joy, but Don't lose your prestige."
The others all looked at Mrs. Zheng with a little surprise at the moment. Although on the surface, what Mrs. Zheng said was not unreasonable, her behavior was to blatantly reject the Queen Mother Huayang.
Is this provocation? Still taking an oath of sovereignty?
After hearing Mrs. Zheng's words, the Empress Dowager Huayang stared deeply at her for a long time with her old eyes, and then suddenly smiled kindly, and said, "Hehehe~~ what Mrs. Zheng said is that Mrs. My son Fusu has grown up after all, grown up!"
