Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

The New Year's Palace Banquet did not last too late.

It starts at the beginning of You time and ends at the end of Xu time, for a total of two hours.

After all, it is winter now, and some officials live far away and return home very late.

Although Dongling values ​​legitimate children over illegitimate children, it is still time for the family to stay up all night and have a reunion dinner during the New Year.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife said goodbye to the Fuguogong family at the palace gate, then each got on their carriage and left.

Mo Zhaohua leaned lazily against the wall of the car and took a long breath, "It's finally over."

"Zhao Zhao doesn't like palace banquets?" Chu Xuanchi really wanted to hug her in his arms, but he could only think about it.

"I don't like it. I just want to drink and chat with my husband." There were too many familiar faces at the palace banquet.

Whenever she saw those people, she would always think of her past life, recalling whether they were enemies or friends, and how they ended.

Chu Xuanchi teased her deliberately, "I was thinking of staying up all night with Xue'er after I go back, but it seems that's not possible now."

Mo Zhaohua hurriedly said, "No, my husband has already drunk a lot of wine at the banquet, so let's drink together next time."

"How much alcohol can Zhao Zhao drink?" Apart from the wedding wine, Chu Xuanchi had never seen her drink alcohol. She always drank tea instead of wine.

"I seldom drink, so my alcohol tolerance is probably not very good." Although Mo Zhaohua doesn't like drinking, he doesn't reject it.

She doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, firstly because it's inconvenient for a woman, and secondly because she has no reason not to drink.

"Have you ever been drunk?" Chu Xuanchi was still a little curious about what Mo Zhaohua would look like when he was drunk. Would he act crazy?

Mo Zhaohua joked playfully, "No, my husband, do you want to get me drunk?"

Chu Xuanchi cooperated with her and chuckled, "I really want to see what Zhao Zhao looks like when she's drunk."

Mo Zhaohua became bolder and bolder, and even blurted out, "Could it be that my husband still wants to have sex after drinking?"

"Zhao Zhao, why are you so bold?" Chu Xuanchi changed the subject, "But I love Zhao Zhao's uniqueness."

Mo Zhaohua blinked, "After following the rules for so long, I sometimes want to let myself go, but I will only do so with people I trust."

It's not just trust, it also requires closeness. For example, in front of Huaying, there is no way she would say such words at the moment.

If Pearl and Amber were present, she would not have hesitated, after all, they were the loyal servants who were buried with her in her previous life.

Chu Xuanchi's eyes were firm. "I am a person Zhao Zhao trusts, and Zhao Zhao also has my 100% trust."

Mo Zhaohua stood up, sat on Chu Xuanchi's legs, stretched out her arms to hug his neck and called softly, "Husband..."

"Ahem..." Chu Xuanchi watched her approach and pretend to kiss him, and quickly stopped her, "No, we're in the car."

Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "My husband's self-control is so poor now, I just tried it for a little while and you couldn't stand it?"

Chu Xuanchi put his arm around her waist and said, "If I could resist Zhao Zhao's temptation, I wouldn't have agreed to the marriage when I doubted you."

"May I ask when did my husband fall in love with me?" Mo Zhaohua only knew when he trusted her, but had never asked about it.

"Want to know?" Chu Xuanchi raised his eyebrows, "I won't tell you."

"My husband, you are so bad, but I like it..." Mo Zhaohua couldn't help it this time and kissed him on the lips.

Minister's Mansion.

Two carriages stopped in front of the mansion.

Fang Jin and Sun got off the front carriage, while Fang Xingming and his brother were in the carriage behind.

Sun held it in for most of the night, and as soon as she returned to the Minister's residence, she went to the study with Fang Jin and their two sons.

Fang Jin was still thinking about his concubines, "Madam, what is so important that you can't even take care of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year?"

Sun said anxiously: "It's only the hour of Xu, it's still early to stay up all night. Please allow me to tell you something very important first..."

She first mentioned that Mo Shuhua had reached the marriageable age and was in the process of getting married, and also talked about her family background.

Fang Tianming had some impression, "Isn't that the woman that Zhou Shaotang had discussed marriage with? The two of them almost got engaged."

Sun had not had time to inquire about Mo Shuhua's situation. She just wanted to explain to them and their son what she had learned today.

Hearing this, she hurriedly asked, "There is also this matter. Do you know why it didn't work out? If you don't know, we can send someone to find out."

Fang Tianming said: "No need to ask, it was because the matter of Prince Qi's concubine caused a great uproar in the city at that time, which ruined the reputation of the Mo family women."

Ever since people suspected that Mo Yaohua was being plotted against in the Princess's Mansion, she had been pushed to the forefront of public opinion, and Sun naturally knew about it.

But she didn't care. "It was that thing. Now that times have changed and Prince Qi's concubine has also entered the palace, it shouldn't have much of an impact."

Fang Xingming asked in confusion, "Mother, the father of the Mo family girl is only a fifth-rank official, why did you want her to marry into our Minister's Mansion?"

In his opinion, Mo Shuhua was of too low a social status, not a good match for them, and could not bring any help to them, so she was not qualified to marry in.

Fang Tianming also despised her, "Yes, if I marry a woman that even Zhou Shaotang doesn't want, won't I be outdone by him?"

Sun frowned, "I didn't like it at first, but today in the Imperial Garden, I accidentally heard the conversation between Consort De and Princess Yu..."

She used Mo Shuhua's marriage to start a conversation between Concubine De and Mo Zhaohua, but she didn't know that she had fallen into the trap.

Fang Jin pinched his chin and thought, "Does Concubine De really think so highly of her that she wants to marry her to the Eighth Prince?"

Fang Xingming was puzzled. "Even though the Eighth Prince is a stutterer, he wouldn't marry a woman from such a low family background, right?"

"Just listen to what I have to say first..." Sun then told Concubine De what she said, that when choosing a wife, one should mainly look at her family background.

Fang Jin nodded in agreement, "That's not bad, although Mo Tao's official rank is low, Mo Yun can be considered a rising star."

"Later, the wife of the Prince of Fuguo came over..." Sun finally finished telling the story of what Zhongli Xiuya had done.

"Rong Shen also wants to marry Mo Shuhua?" Although Fang Tianming is a few years older than Rong Shen, he knows him a little because they are both students.

Rong Shen was highly expected to be among the top three in the imperial examination next spring. Fang Tianming often heard his classmates praising him and had long felt jealous.

Sun took Zhongli Xiuya's words seriously, "Yes, I am just waiting for Young Master Rong to come to discuss marriage after he has completed his coming-of-age ceremony."

Fang Tianming's eyes rolled around, and a plan came to his mind, "I can't let Rong Shen get away with it. I want to marry Mo Shuhua."

"Have you made up your mind?" Sun told him that she looked down upon many women, so she couldn't believe that he was so straightforward this time.

Fang Tianming sneered, "Do I need to think about this? While Rong Shen is not yet old enough to discuss marriage, I have to snatch him away first."

Fang Xingming also had an idea, "If I can use this marriage to help King Jin win over King Yu and King Qi, it will be a great achievement."

Fang Jin was more cautious than them and was still hesitant. "Don't be so impulsive. We need to think about this matter carefully."
