After rebirth, the daughter of the genius doctor went crazy
Chapter 13: Stirring up the water
There are many people who are not good to this concubine sister, but no one is so blatant to let people know.
You must know that if the news gets out, it will greatly damage the character of the legitimate daughter. Now Mo Lishang has become a thorn in the eyes of the daughters, so everyone will spare no effort to promote her. Then let's see how Mo Lishang can marry the prince as a concubine with her jealous character. You must know that how can a woman who can't even tolerate her half sister tolerate her husband's concubines and mistresses?
Faced with the thoughts of the daughters of various families and Mo Yaner's passionate performance, Mo Lishang was not moved at all. She didn't care about fame at all. It would be better to have no fame so that she wouldn't be calculated by the old fox Mo Wen.
"The Queen has ordered that all the daughters of wealthy families be invited to the palace for an audience."
Zhang Zhong came out at this time.
Mo Lishang smiled coldly. He didn't know how many times Zhang Zhong had seen this scene, but his performance was just right.
After many twists and turns, and passing through intricate and magnificent pavilions and terraces, we finally arrived at Fengxiang Palace.
The three golden characters "Fengxiang Palace" still shine with incomparable glory under the sunlight.
It is said that these three big characters were written by the founding emperor of Dazhao. At that time, Fengxiang Palace was built for his first wife to thank her for sharing the joys and sorrows with him all the way. It is said that the emperor also issued an order to forbid any concubine from entering Fengxiang Palace to show his respect for his first wife.
Seeing these three words again, thinking of the promise Tong Yeming had made, Mo Lishang couldn't help but feel a little dazed. After all, she had lived here for four years, and this place contained her pain and joy, love and hate, sorrow and sadness, sadness and joy...
"Empress, the daughters of many families have arrived."
The shrill voice of the young eunuch interrupted her thoughts. She calmed herself down and followed the crowd in.
The hall was very bright because the glazed tiles were transparent, so the sunlight poured in without restraint. Under the refraction of the light dust, the queen sitting high on the throne seemed vague and indistinct, but an aura of majesty as a person in a high position emanated from her invisibly, making everyone tremble with fear and dare not breathe.
She had never seen the Queen either, because she was the biological mother of King Ling.
After Tong Yeming came to power, King Ling disappeared, and the queen also voluntarily became a nun to guard the tomb of her ancestors. It can be seen that the queen was also a very strong-willed woman.
"Your humble servant kowtows to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and may she live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
All the daughters of wealthy families knelt down gracefully.
"Everyone, get up."
The Queen's voice was very pleasant to the ears, and she sounded kind and friendly, like the sister next door. However, Mo Lishao knew that a woman who could fight her way through the palace full of beauties and sit on the throne of Queen could not be simple and harmless!
"Thank you, Queen."
"Xiao Zhongzi, please take a seat."
Zhang Zhong hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to bring a dozen embroidered cushions and placed them on the left and right of the queen. Everyone thanked him and then sat down tremblingly.
At this time, everyone had the opportunity to take a closer look at the queen's appearance. Normally, she should be in her forties, but because she took good care of herself, she looked to be in her early thirties.
She was wearing a golden-blue silk brocade dress, with a colorful phoenix embroidered on it with seven-color gold thread, and a phoenix-tail skirt with purple butterflies and flowers. She sat upright on a rosewood chair, her shiny black hair was neatly done up, and a row of dragon and phoenix hairpins were inserted diagonally in her misty hair, with a dew-covered peony pinned behind her back. Her skin was as delicate as porcelain, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp but full of charm, and her lips were like rose petals after the rain, with a crystal luster.
She must have been stunningly beautiful when she was young. Although she is no longer young now, she has gained more experience and the majesty that has accumulated between her brows is unmatched by any other young lady here.
Except Mo Lishang!
But now Mo Lishang deliberately restrained his nobleness and did not reveal any trace of it.
"Whose lady is this? Why is she so pretty?"
As the saying goes, gold shines wherever it goes. Mo Lishang couldn't help but admire the queen's vision for being able to find such an unknown little grass like her among so many extremely beautiful ladies.
"In reply to the Queen, your servant, Mo Lishang, is the daughter of General Mo Wen."
Mo Lishang immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Seeing that Mo Lishang behaved properly and performed the right gestures, as if she had lived in the palace for many years, the queen was slightly stunned, then smiled gently and said, "She is indeed the daughter of a general, and she has the style of her father."
"The Queen is so impressed."
"I heard that Miss Mo has been living in the martial arts world for the past few years. I thought she must have learned the boldness of the martial arts people. I didn't expect that when I saw her, I found that she is really a lady from a noble family. She is smart and clever. Not only does she have the heroic spirit of the martial arts people, but she also has the bearing of a noble family. She is really good."
"I am a humble servant, but I am grateful for your concern, Your Majesty." Mo Lishang showed humility.
The Queen nodded and said, "I heard that your name was given by the Emperor. At that time, General Mo was drinking and chatting happily with the Emperor in the palace when he heard the good news of your birth. So the Emperor was so happy that he named you Li Shang, hoping that you would be safe and away from harm."
"I am so terrified that I have to trouble Your Majesty to come up with a name for you."
After hearing this, Mo Lisha stood up again, looking terrified.
"Please sit down. There's no need to be restrained." The Queen smiled and looked Mo Lishang up and down and asked, "Why are you dressed so plainly when you enter the palace today?"
"I heard from my father that the Queen advocates simplicity and often says that although the people have enough food and clothing under the wise leadership of Your Majesty, we should be prepared for danger even in times of peace and never indulge in luxury. I deeply agree with this and often use it to urge myself."
The Queen was very pleased to hear this and praised: "As expected, you are a noble man. You are so young but you care about the people of the world. Even in a thorny shirt and a cloth skirt, you still look so heroic. Not bad, not bad."
The Queen Mother obviously treated Mo Lishang differently, which made all the daughters resentful, especially Mo Yaner, who was even more angry.
In order to show off, she couldn't help but interrupt: "It is a great blessing for me to be praised by the queen."
"How dare you speak without permission in front of the Queen."
Zhang Zhong's face changed and he immediately scolded.
The Queen Mother smiled and stopped him: "Xiao Zhongzi, don't scare the little girl."
Turning back, he said to Mo Yan'er calmly, "Are you also a lady from the Mo Mansion?"
"Replying to Her Majesty, this is your servant Mo Yan'er."
"Oh? Sister Qin actually gave birth to two daughters?" the queen asked casually.
Mo Yaner stood there in a daze, at a loss as to how to respond.
"In reply to the Queen, Sister Yan'er was born to Aunt Du."
Mo Lishang's answer at this moment was as light as the wind, which made Mo Yaner wish she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
For the first time, she hated Du Shishi. Why did she not be the wife but a concubine? She hated herself even more why she was not Qin Feiyan's daughter!
The Queen said "Oh" as if she had suddenly realized something, and then she laughed again: "So she is the niece of Minister Du. She is indeed very pretty."
The Queen's words were very skillful. She only mentioned the relationship between Mo Yan'er and the Minister but did not mention Du Shishi's identity. On the surface, she saved Mo Yan'er's face, but in fact, she secretly despised Du Shishi's identity. Anyone who was smart could hear it.
Just when Mo Yan'er was about to say something else, the Queen turned to Leng Lianxin and started chatting and laughing with her, leaving her stunned and helpless.
Mo Lishang watched coldly with a suitable smile on his face the whole time. The Queen's purpose in summoning them was very clear, which was to find a suitable person among these daughters to be the Princess of Spirit, in order to gain the power behind it.
The first person she thought of was Mo Lisha, but the calmness and hidden intelligence shown by Mo Lisha made her give up. What she needed was a wife who would obey the Spirit King and bring benefits to the Spirit King, not a wife with her own personality. She could not allow any hidden dangers to exist because she could not afford the risk. Mo Lisha was a double-edged sword. If controlled well, it could be a murderous weapon, but if not controlled well, it could be a suicidal knife.
So Mo Lishang's excellence made her feel intimidated, but in order to please Mo Lishang, she humiliated Mo Yaner in front of everyone. Although it was just a seemingly unintentional remark, it sent Mo Yaner into hell and caused Mo Yaner's self-esteem to suffer unprecedented damage. This is the art of speaking of people in the palace!
She believed that with Mo Lishang's intelligence, he would understand her and accept her feelings.
Mo Lishang smiled faintly. Of course, she would accept the Queen's favor, because she also didn't want to marry the King of Spirits, so her behavior made the Queen feel reassured. However, the Queen had calculated everything but she didn't expect that Mo Wen was no longer neutral and had already had the intention to compete for the throne.
Thinking of this, she looked towards the Queen Mother who was happily talking with Leng Lianxin. If the Queen Mother knew that she might marry Prince Chen, would she still smile so happily?
Finally, the Queen achieved her goal. She was very happy: "We have missed the time to learn etiquette today. Why don't we take advantage of today to have a stroll in the Imperial Garden? When you have had enough fun, let Xiao Zhongzi take you out of the palace."
"Thank you, Queen."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, as being able to stroll in the imperial garden was something they had never dreamed of.
"Well, go ahead. I'm a little tired, so I won't accompany you young people to make trouble. Kneel down and pay your respects."
"Yes."
After everyone knelt in greeting, they were led out of Fengxiang Palace by Zhang Zhong.
In the Imperial Garden, the sun is shining brightly, the waves are sparkling, and there are several small islands of different heights. The islands have pavilions and terraces, all of which are meticulously carved. It is summer now. There are willows by the lake and lotus in the lake, echoing each other from afar. The fragrance of flowers is refreshing, and it is a beautiful scene.
Behind me is a wisteria forest. Looking back, I see a romantic and charming expanse of light purple, just like a sea of fragrant snow flowers, stretching out endlessly. A breeze blows by, and the petals fly like flowers scattered by fairies. The subtle fragrance wafts in the air, and the petals flutter like colorful butterflies, just like a fairyland on earth.
From the edge of the wisteria forest, the extremely luxurious imperial palace spread out. The high platforms and pavilions were scattered around in an orderly manner, reflected under the infinite golden light. The sky and the earth were the same color, just like a palace in the sky, making people feel trance, as if they were not in the human world.
Mo Lishang was filled with emotion. Looking at this place full of vitality, he felt indescribable disgust in his heart. This palace, which was so expensive that people were scrambling to get in, was undoubtedly a prison for prisoners. It was also like an ancient man-eating beast, lying there quietly with its ferocious eyes, waiting for someone to approach and then opening its bloody mouth to devour without mercy.
And she was once one of them.
It has been a lifetime since he revisited the old place. Mo Lishang looked at the colorful sky in the distance with some sadness, a bitter smile on his lips. It was summer again, and the lotus flowers were blooming again.
It seems that everything is destined. She died that night when the lotus blossomed, but was reborn in this life when the lotus blossomed. It turns out that life also has ups and downs like the blooming and withering of flowers.
But in this life, who is in charge of the ups and downs?
She heard a faint breath behind her, and she instantly suppressed her sadness, with a cold look in her eyes.
Tong Yeming stood in the distance, watching quietly, watching her blending into the flowers. Although her loneliness, sadness and coldness were in stark contrast to the noisy and lively scenery around her, there was a contradictory harmony, as if she was a part of it, she seemed to be a scenery in this garden. At this moment, his heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked, and she made him feel familiar again, and he couldn't help wanting to get close to her.
Although she is not very beautiful, she has an indescribable temperament. Even now, even if she is standing among thousands of flowers, this garden full of flowers still cannot conceal her ethereal charm.
She seemed to be the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, remote and ethereal. She was standing close by, yet seemed to be far away, making people feel helpless as if they were about to catch her but could not touch her.
