The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 25 Not to be outdone
"Second Sister Huang." Feng Yao smiled and bowed his head, but suddenly felt a bunch of eyes staring at her forehead tightening.Looking up, it turned out that Qin Mo's half-opened eyes were looking at her, and there seemed to be a glint of light in the half-opened eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Mo Li was still standing beside Feng Yao, and the salute should also be saluting to the second princess.It's just that Mo Li glanced sideways at Qin Mo, stepped forward, half covered Feng Yao behind him, and then bowed to the second princess.

The smile on Feng Man's face was still bright, she didn't seem to care about the three people around her, and she didn't understand what was wrong between them.He just stepped forward with a smile and held Feng Yao's little hand: "Why are you talking here, isn't Mo Consort going in with Yao'er?"

"Mo Li is in charge of rituals and music, and he will be busy for a while. Only when the palace banquet starts can he go in to celebrate his father's birthday." Feng Yao took advantage of the situation and hid beside Feng Man, so he couldn't feel Qin Mo's pair of eyes. Makes the eyes uncomfortable.

Before Feng Yao finished speaking, he heard Qin Mo say: "The master of ceremonies and music? Then the important events and gifts in the future palace will be handled by Mo's concubine himself? It's a pity that I am also a concubine, but I can only sit at the palace banquet Eating and drinking, I can't do more, I'm really ashamed."

What Qin Mo said was not to praise Moli, but to ridicule him.When everyone else is happy, Moli can only take care of rituals and music from the sidelines.To put it bluntly, it is simply a slave's life.

What's more, Moli was originally the proton of Yunqing Kingdom, and his status was extremely special.If Feng Yao hadn't been selected as the son-in-law, he might not even have the chance to attend the palace banquet.

On the contrary, Qin Mo is not only the eldest son of the Minister of the Household Department, but also last year's No. [-] Scholar in the new military.Although he was only Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Military Affairs, he was ranked fifth rank just like Moli, but now Fengjue Kingdom emphasizes martial arts and despise literature, and the military officers of the Ministry of War are a bit higher than civilian officials.

With his father's tact and constant maneuvering as an official for many years, Qin Mo's real power is not a bit more than that of Moli.That's why there was such a taunt.

When it comes to talking about this, even Feng Man, who has always been insensitive, feels that her son-in-law is talking too much.But I didn't know how to adjust it, I just pulled Feng Yao to talk some gossip, trying to suppress these words and let it go.

However, Fengyao is a forceful person, and she is extremely defensive, so she can't let others talk about the people around her.

Now seeing Mo Li standing beside him, his handsome face was pale and uncertain, obviously he was still holding back his temper in consideration of etiquette.

Feng Yao felt pain in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "The son-in-law of Qin has a heart. The arsenal department has always been busy, and everyone in the court knows it. What's more, since ancient times, etiquette comes first and soldiers come last. A capable son-in-law will work harder, so he will spare no effort."

Feng Yao's words of "honesty first, soldiers later" were extremely ingenious, and immediately suppressed Qin Mo's aura and rank.He also said that the Ministry of Arms is free, not that the Ministry of War is idle. In fact, it implies that there are a lot of foreign troubles now, and soldiers and horses are away all year round. Isn't the warehouse of the Ministry of War empty?

In terms of tongue and talent, Qin Mo is no match for Feng Yao, so he can only stand there dumbfounded.

Even the second princess, Feng Man, blushed at Feng Yao's words, but because her son-in-law said harsh words for no reason and provoked Feng Yao, she could only swallow her anger.Then he turned to Moli and said, "Mo's son-in-law is so lucky to have Yaoer protect him like this."

In fact, Feng Man also wanted to change the topic, saying that Moli is blessed, so as to make the atmosphere more lively.

It's just that I didn't expect that what I said was not thoughtful, just like saying that Mo Li clings to the princess in public.

Mo Li's status was originally embarrassing, but becoming a son-in-law was a way to settle down.In addition, since Xin Jieyu entered the palace, she has been criticized a lot, saying that she is a "beauty trick" used by Yunqing Kingdom.As a result, Feng Man's words now became suspicious of sarcasm.

Feng Yao gritted his teeth secretly, but he couldn't speak harsh words anymore.

Firstly, she knew that Fengman was not really scheming, and putting her words elsewhere was nothing more than an interruption and a blessing; secondly, they only met at the father's birthday banquet, and there were so many delays here, so it was wrong to be verbal. It's even more petty when you come and go.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yao had no choice but to endure it.It's just that the look in Qin Consort's eyes is a bit more bitter.

The atmosphere was quite awkward for a while, but a calm and graceful female voice sounded: "Man'er, Yao'er, why are you talking here? I misread the auspicious time for congratulations."

Feng Yao turned around, and saw a beautiful young woman in palace attire approaching.The pair of golden step rocks on the head are inlaid with pearls the size of longan eyes, shining extremely brilliantly.A dark green brocade set off the plump figure extremely gracefully, and the dark green color also added an extravagance to the not-so-young appearance; wearing a black mink fur cloak, it looked even more gorgeous.

"Mother concubine."

"Hello, Concubine Chu."

It was the concubine of the second princess Fengman who came... Concubine Chu.Both Feng Man and Feng Yao stepped forward with a smile, blessing the body.

As concubines, Mo Li and Qin Mo also greeted Concubine Chu immediately.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt." Xiang'er's childish voice came.Before Feng Yao agreed, Xiang'er broke free from the nurse's arms, jumped off the ground and ran towards Feng Yao.A pair of small hands opened, facing Feng Yao and hugged her leg.

"Xiang'er..." Feng Yao squatted down and hugged Xiang'er's petite body into his arms, his eyes started to feel sore, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with something, and he only yelled but couldn't speak.

"Yao'er, Xiang'er is so cute." Mo Li heard that Feng Yao's voice was trembling, so he also squatted down, his voice was very soft, but extremely calm.

Only now was Feng Yao busy to calm down, forced himself to suppress the sourness in his heart, put on a bright smile and hugged Xiang'er, pointed to Mo Li and said: "Xiang'er, this is my aunt's son-in-law."

"Hello, uncle son-in-law." Xiang'er put a small face close to Feng Yao's, and smiled at Mo Li.Children's smiles are the most innocent and pure, and of course all the embarrassing atmosphere is gone for a while.

Concubine Chu looked at Feng Yao and Mo Li's smiles while hugging Xiang'er, and saw Qin Mo still poking on the spot in a daze, and sighed.

The second princess, Feng Man, hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "The concubine mother is right, don't miss the auspicious time to congratulate the emperor. Yaoer, let's go in."

Feng Yao nodded, but he couldn't bear to let Xiang'er go, so he hugged Xiang'er tightly and walked in together.

Concubine Chu took a few steps and turned her head to look at Mo Li who had not come with her. She stopped and said, "Mo Li, please come too. I'll ask my father-in-law to speak to Mr. Gu, the minister of rites. It is our royal family's responsibility to celebrate the emperor's birthday." For such a big event, you, the prospective son-in-law, cannot be missed."

"Mo Li thanked Concubine Chu." Mo Li thanked her before following her.
