After the first fool

Chapter 90 Subverted impression
A turbulent farce was resolved in an understatement. The troupe on the stage received Li Quan's hint and continued to sing Peking Opera loudly. The civil and military officials also regained their original composure. No one will forget the scene just now, the fool in their impression, the queen who only knows how to behave in the palace, can make Xuanyuan Kingdom return home in a graceful and dazzling manner.

Liao Xue gritted her teeth, and suppressed the jealousy in her heart. She stared at Mo Xiaoran, who was drinking leisurely, with vicious eyes. The bright sunlight shot down directly from the sky, making her fiery red phoenix robe look as if she had been plated. A layer of gold, golden light shimmering.

It's her again!It's her again!Why is she able to become a blockbuster?Why her?
Jealousy is like seaweed, growing infinitely in Liao Xue's heart.

Mo Xiaoran watched the drama on the stage with great interest. She moved her shoulders a few times, but she still felt a slight pain. Although she was exercising deliberately to restore her previous life's skills, it seemed that the effect was not good. , when she shot just now, she already felt the pain of her shoulder being hit by the rebound force of the back seat. Although she didn't dislocate it, she was definitely bruised!
The hand holding the wine cup still trembled slightly, and the excitement when she felt the gun in her blood has not dissipated for a long time. Seeing something she is most familiar with in this strange dynasty, it feels like meeting a long-lost friend. If not, how could Mo Xiaoran easily get the limelight?

Perhaps it was Mo Xiaoran's excellence that feasted everyone's eyes just now. At this moment, even the drama on stage could hardly arouse their interest. Lan Tianci and Mingxi sat at the bottom respectively, their eyes always swept over Mo Xiaoran from time to time , How complicated, how amazed, how jealous.

"My lord, the prince has come here day and night, and I'm a little tired at the moment, why don't we leave here, what do you think?" Lan Tianci suddenly got up and asked Bai Zixu, clasping his fists.

"Alright," he nodded with a gentle smile, "I have prepared two palaces in the palace for the envoys of the two countries. You can rest on your own. I will send someone to invite you to attend the state banquet tonight."

"The monarch has a heart." Lan Tianci grinned, and his gaze fell on Mo Xiaoran. Before she could see anything, he led his entourage and left the imperial garden under the guidance of the eunuch, heading for Bai Zixu. The palace prepared for them as a resting place.

Seeing this, Mingxi naturally wouldn't stay for long, she got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she never forgot to look back at Mo Xiaoran.

Mo Xiaoran's eyebrows twitched lightly, could it be that there are flowers on her face?Why does everyone have to look at her once when they leave?
The protagonist left, and the banquet was coming to an end. The officials did not leave the palace. In the evening, there was another state banquet to welcome the envoys of the two countries. They could bring their families.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her brows, seeing many officials leaving, she did not want to stay for long: "Emperor, Ai's family will go back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning first, as he is old, his bones can't stand the torture, so after sitting for a while, he feels tired gone."

Bai Zixu hurriedly got up to let the queen mother leave, but Mo Xiaoran would not stay, so she took the opportunity to leave, led Xiaozhu to follow behind the queen mother, and walked away, forgetting the complicated sights behind her.

"Queen." The Empress Dowager was supported by Nanny Gui, and suddenly said. Mo Xiaoran walked behind her, keeping a distance of two or three steps from her. Hearing this, she replied with a smile, "Yes."

"You made Dongyao look good today." Although she didn't like Mo Xiaoran's mischievous nature, when it was time to praise, the queen mother would not be stingy, showing a rare real smile, "Aijia I didn't know that you actually had this kind of ability, but I missed it."

Mo Xiaoran really wanted to tell her that there were so many things she didn't know, but she was not so stupid, she lowered her head and calmly replied: "The Queen Mother has praised you."

Seeing that she was neither humble nor overbearing, the Empress Dowager didn't know what to say for a while, but secretly thought that giving her some rewards in a few days would be regarded as a reward.

Parting ways with the Empress Dowager in the long corridor, and watching her walk away in the direction of the Palace of Compassion, Mo Xiaoran took off the smile on her face, rubbed the corners of her almost stiff mouth, and muttered: "My mouth is stiff from laughing. "

"Miss, you are really good today. Those ministers were all dumbfounded just now." Xiaozhu smiled innocently, so who would dare to underestimate her young lady.

Mo Xiaoran gave her a sideways look: "Where are you happy when you have time, hurry up and come back to the palace with me and help me rub my shoulders, it hurts me to death."

"Miss is injured?" Xiaozhu's face changed suddenly, and he asked a little nervously.

"It was just an accidental injury." Mo Xiaoran moved her shoulders, "Let's go, go back and give me a massage. After all, there is still a banquet tonight, it will be really troublesome."

"This is the rule in the palace. When foreign ministers visit, two banquets will be prepared. This afternoon will be the first one, and the state banquet tonight will be the highlight. Miss, you can't dress so formally at night. The servant will go back later Go pick out clothes." Xiao Zhu chattered.

The two masters and servants walked towards Fengqi Palace along the quiet path, the bright sunlight dragged their shadows on the ground, and from time to time, a few laughter came from the wind.

The imperial garden was already empty, and the eunuchs were cleaning up the mess in the garden. Liao Xue originally wanted to spend some time with Bai Zixu, but unexpectedly, before she could make a move, Bai Mo called the emperor away, and the two brothers... Back in the imperial study, the prime minister and Liao Ke, Minister of the Ministry of War, were already waiting inside.

"Prime Minister, your daughter is really different." Bai Zixu sat on the dragon chair, folded his hands to support his chin, and spoke softly with a smile on the corner of his mouth that made people unable to detect his emotions.

"This..." Mo Qing couldn't tell whether the emperor was boasting or had other meanings, so he twitched his lips, "The old minister is also quite surprised."

How could his daughter have such ability and courage?Not to mention the emperor, even he was stunned at the time.

"It seems that the Queen has a lot of things hidden." Bai Zixu's eyes flashed a dark light, and then he changed the topic: "Do you think that Lan Yu and Xuanyuan are sincerely here to wish my wedding?" Come?"

He always felt that it didn't seem like it.

The prime minister and Liao Ke looked at each other and shook their heads together.

"Prince Regent, what do you think?" Bai Zixu glanced at the white ink sitting firmly on the mountain, and asked slowly with a gentle smile.

Bai Mo raised his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth remained flat, "My younger brother has already said that Xuanyuan and Lan Yulang's ambitions must be guarded against."

Is he blaming himself for not listening to his advice that day?

Bai Zixu was slightly displeased, but he still had a gentle smile on his face: "Then what's the regent's opinion now? Tell me and let me hear."

"I feel that the purpose of the two countries' coming here is to deter them. The thousand silks offered by the Blue Feather Kingdom and the muskets sent by the Xuanyuan Kingdom are rare weapons in the world. "He paused, his eyes darkened slightly, but this time their deterrence was unintentionally dispelled by the emperor's wife. If the younger brother's guess is correct, there should be another trick for tonight's state banquet. "

"Deterrence?" Bai Zixu murmured softly, then raised his head, "If Xuanyuan muskets prevail, once we go to war with them, what do you think the chances of winning are?"

If it is true as what Bai Mo said, then the two countries are eyeing Dongyao covetously, and it is indeed necessary to guard against them, and they have unheard of magical weapons. Once a war starts, is there any chance of winning?
After thinking for a while, Bai Mo shook his head slightly.

"What does the Regent mean?" Liao Ke, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly asked, what does this shaking of the head mean?It's not even ten percent, is it?
"I have never dealt with such a weapon before, so I can't give an answer." In fact, Bai Mo knew very well that if the musket's power was used just now, once it was used on the battlefield, Dong Yao's chances of winning would be close to nothing.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why the musket showed such great power was because of Mo Xiaoran, a sharpshooter, who could use the musket to its limit without missing a shot!If it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that before the enemy was injured, I would be injured by the rebound force of the back seat first.

Bai Zixu sighed melancholy, becoming more and more afraid of the musket.

"Brother Huang, you don't need to be so worried. If Xuanyuan really had a large number of weapons, he would have started a war long ago, and he would not expose these weapons to us. They are only used to intimidate us." Bai Mo's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Chendi thinks, I'm afraid it's not so easy to make this weapon."

Among the Three Kingdoms, if any country had such a magical weapon, it would not use it as the last secret weapon? Why did it come all the way to bring Dongyao?Let them open their eyes?

"That's right." After Bai Mo's mention, the prime minister also understood: "It is indeed the truth."

"Just in case, Regent, you secretly send people into Xuanyuan to find out about muskets." Although Bai Zixu was relieved when he heard this, he still felt unsafe. I don't know when it will cause the feeling of war, which makes him, the young king, very worried.

Bai Mo immediately clasped his fists in response.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has a plan, but I don't know if it will work." The Prime Minister said in a deep voice.

Bai Zixu glanced at him lightly, "Say."

"It has been rumored for a long time that Princess Mingxi of Xuanyuan Kingdom came here this time to marry the emperor and achieve the goal of good relations between the two countries. Xuanyuan Kingdom will definitely raise this matter at the state banquet tonight, and the emperor will respond on the spot, waiting for Princess Mingxi to enter the palace. , you can get insider information about muskets from her mouth, Princess Mingxi is a member of Xuanyuan Kingdom's royal family, she must know a lot." The prime minister's eyes were bright, and there was a sense of delusion in his words.

The corner of Bai Mo's mouth twitched slightly. Is this actually trying to trick Brother Huang into being a pretty boy?
"Okay, this plan is very good." Bai Zixu nodded excitedly, "Prime Minister is worthy of being a prime minister, good!"

The prime minister secretly cast a smug look at Bai Mo, he is the most trusted subject of the emperor, he was at odds with the regent king in the court, and now he has the upper hand, how can he be unhappy? "I thank the emperor for his praise and share his worries for the emperor. It is the duty of a veteran minister."

Bai Mo lightly moved his eyes away, his eyes were deep, and he no longer paid attention to the picture in front of him.
