Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal
Chapter 227 Slap in the face
"Prince Qi, Princess Qi, and Prince Qi's concubine are here."
A servant's loud shout came from outside, suddenly interrupting Mo Zhaohua's words.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xuanhan brought Yuchi Jiuyue and Mo Yaohua in, and Mo Zhaohua had to stop the topic.
Chu Xuanhan came in and bowed to Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua first, "Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, how are you?"
Rong Hai stood up and saluted with Rong Yue. After greeting everyone, they sat down in the seats arranged by Wuying.
Only Prince Jin and Prince Qi will be here today, so the first seats on the left and right below the main seat will be occupied by these two princes.
Rong Hai and Rong Yue were arranged on the right, which was the seat reserved for Prince Jin, and was indeed far away from Mo Yaohua.
Prince Rui injured his muscles and bones at the horse farm of Prince Jin's mansion last time, so it is inconvenient for him to go out recently. He only sent a letter of greetings but did not send a visiting card.
After they talked for a while, a servant came in to report that Prince Jin had arrived outside the mansion.
After hearing this, Yuchi Jiyue asked in a low voice, "Why didn't Princess Jin come?"
Chu Xuanhan replied in a low voice, "Maybe he has something going on in the mansion and can't leave."
Yuchi Jiyue asked again, "Why didn't the concubine come since she doesn't have to take care of household affairs? Didn't she get seriously injured last time?"
She still didn't know that Shen Xiyue was pregnant. She thought that she had just fallen down and her injury was not as serious as Chu Xuanhan's.
Chu Xuanhan no longer wanted to respond, so he quietly reminded her, "Don't meddle in other people's affairs."
Yuchi Jiuyue didn't say anything else at this point. He just glanced at Mo Yaohua secretly, and sure enough, he saw a sneer flash in her eyes.
The Prince of Jin arrived soon and everyone bowed to him again.
"My eldest brother is well."
"Your Highness Prince Jin is well."
After the ceremony, Chu Xuanchi asked calmly, "Is everyone here?"
Wuying replied respectfully, "My lord, we are all here. The masters are in the side hall."
Chu Xuanchi just wanted to quickly deal with this group visit, "Okay, then let them come."
Prince Jin leaned back in his chair and said, "Why is it like hosting a banquet when I'm visiting my fifth brother?"
Chu Xuanchi said lightly, "I also want you to come one by one, but my body is really not up to the task."
Chu Xuanhan had been here for such a long time without asking, but now he showed his concern, "Has Fifth Brother's injury improved?"
Chu Xuanchi said, "The imperial physician is here, and he is getting better, but he still needs to rest. That's why I can't see guests every day."
The three brothers chatted briefly, and then the servants led the officials into the main hall.
The officials all bowed and said, "I greet all the princes and princesses."
Chu Xuanchi spoke as the host, "It's rare that you all are so thoughtful to me. No need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Among the officials today, no one had a higher rank than Mo Yun, so he was placed next to Chu Xuanhan.
In this way, he was facing Rong Hai, which put him under a lot of pressure, especially since Rong Hai did not give him a good look.
The Prince of Jin glanced at the whole audience and deliberately asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has always been a friendly and respectful brother. Why didn't you come to visit me today?"
Lin Tianzuo asked him to stop others from winning over Chu Xuanchi, with the Crown Prince being the first to be affected, and now it seemed like a good opportunity.
Chu Xuanchi explained, "My brother the Crown Prince wanted to come, but unfortunately he caught a cold a few days ago, and I'm afraid he might pass on his illness to me."
Prince Jin asked again, "Why are the Eighth Brother and Jiashan nowhere to be seen? Haven't they always been close to the Fifth Brother?"
"Eighth brother doesn't like to leave the palace, and he and Jiashan came here a few days ago. This time, I will confiscate their visiting cards."
Chu Xuanchi did receive a visiting card from the palace, but he knew there would be many people here today and he didn't want the Eighth Prince to face all of this.
Especially since Prince Jin was there too, he could not bear to see the Eighth Prince suffer any injustice since what happened at Prince Qi's mansion last time was still fresh in his mind.
The King of Jin was a little sour, "As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. This time, Fifth Brother can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, as he has regained the military power of the Iron Cavalry."
People who don’t understand will think that there are only three thousand soldiers and they are nothing to be afraid of. But people who understand will know how important these three thousand people are.
Chu Xuanchi showed weakness, "What can I do with the military power? I am still a useless man after all. I can no longer raise my sword or mount my horse to drive out the foreign enemies."
An official said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. When you recover, you will surely defeat the Southern Zhao Kingdom and make them flee in disarray."
Chu Xuanchi sighed, "I'm sorry to hear your words, but I'm afraid that the greater my expectations, the greater my disappointment will be."
The main hall was bustling with activity, with officials rushing to express their praise or concern, so Mo Yun had no chance to say a few words.
It's not that he didn't have a chance, but he was proud of his status. After all, he was the father-in-law of Prince Yu, and he didn't want to compete with them for the opportunity.
However, Prince Yu did not treat him differently. He talked and laughed with other people, but did not respond to him at all.
The officials all came on leave, and Chu Xuanchi did not keep them for long. He let them know his situation and then sent them away.
After they left the main hall, they continued chatting as they walked.
"I thought the King would be difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect him to be quite talkative."
"Yes, the etiquette is also very thoughtful, which is very different from the rumors."
"It's a pity that I was injured. I don't know if my legs can heal. It would be great if I could stand up again."
They were chatting happily. Someone noticed that Mo Yun hadn't said a word from beginning to end. "Why isn't Minister Mo talking?"
The others also looked at Mo Yun and took over the conversation, "Just now in the main hall, Minister Mo didn't say much."
Someone slapped his face on the spot, "I did ask a few times, but the King was busy talking to other people and didn't seem to respond."
Mo Yun was already filled with rage today, and after being slapped in the face by them, he felt even more embarrassed.
Another person said, "You remembered it wrongly, right? Although the two princes are noble, Minister Mo is still the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince."
The man didn't explain much, just laughed it off and said, "That's right, maybe I remembered it wrongly. I'm getting older and I forget things more and more."
Someone complimented, "Minister Mo is really capable. Both of his daughters married into the royal palace."
Someone laughed and agreed, "That's right, the legitimate daughter is the legitimate concubine, and the illegitimate daughter is the illegitimate concubine. It really makes others envious."
Someone else said: "If Prince Qi's concubine gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and Prince Qi has not taken a concubine, this position may have to change."
At the same time, the concubine of Prince Qi as they were talking about was chatting with Mo Zhaohua with an innocent face and a beautiful smile.
"Since I got married, except for the day I returned home, I have been staying in the mansion to take care of my pregnancy. I have not had the chance to see Sister Princess Yu again."
The word "sister" made Mo Zhaohua feel so disgusted that he almost vomited the overnight meal. He had no right to call her sister-in-law, but she actually called her sister.
Chu Xuanchi immediately reminded him unhappily, "The title of concubine is inappropriate. People who don't know would think that the king has taken a concubine."
He turned around and deliberately disgusted Yuchi Jiyue, "If the concubine really wants to call me sister, she should call me Princess Qi."
Today, Mo Yun and Mo Yaohua, father and daughter, were in trouble together and took turns being slapped in the face in public.
