Too high to reach

Chapter 220 I have thoughts

In the main hall.

Mo Yi spoke with the Crown Princess, Princess Yu'an, and a group of ladies.

Princess Yu'an was secretly observing Mo Yi.

She noticed that in front of the Crown Princess, she didn't talk much, but when she did, she spoke slowly and deliberately, without being arrogant or timid. "...It's the New Year again, so things are a bit hectic. I'm afraid there may be some shortcomings in our hospitality today. Please don't be offended, and please don't be offended either."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "You're young and just got married, so it's quite impressive that you have such composure. I also have a lot to take care of, so I can't stay for dinner today. Tomorrow, come to my place and get acquainted with the place. We can get together anytime when we have free time."

In the crowd, Mo Yuan and Zhou Jiu stood together, smiling and blinking, quietly listening to the two ladies speak.

These two girls are quite eye-catching.

Knowing that her two aunts had arrived, and that her mother hadn't, Mo Wen quietly went to greet them. She didn't go herself… This was her moment to shine, and she had to be there. She could feel the gazes from the crowd, and she was quite pleased.

Just now, when I was with Madam Liang, a lady came over and asked about her, expressing her goodwill.

She felt there were too many opportunities!

Mo Wen did indeed secretly go to find Madam Wang. From afar, she saw the Mo family drinking tea in the flower hall. She listened carefully but did not hear her mother's voice...

She lifted her skirt and went up the steps, saying, "Mother, Aunt, Sister-in-law!"

As soon as Wang saw her, she exclaimed, "Wenwen?! You're here!" Overwhelmed with excitement, she forgot herself again, and her voice immediately rose several octaves...

"Mother!" Mo Wen immediately rushed to her side. "You can't speak so loudly..."

"Oh, oh..." Wang immediately lowered her voice, "I forgot. Sigh, it's a habit..."

We've reminded her before, but she always forgets.

“Mother, this is very important. Yi Yi said that after the Crown Princess leaves, she will ask you to go over before dinner, and then go to the courtyard where she lives.”

Mrs. Wang nodded, "This arrangement is excellent."

"You'll see my mother-in-law soon, so please be polite and don't rush to greet her... Just say that..." Mo Wen instructed Wang Shi.

Wang had always believed in her daughter, and listened carefully, nodding repeatedly.

Zhuang and Zhou exchanged a smile.

Over there, Li Jing and the Crown Prince went from the front study to the rear hall.

Upon hearing the news, all the women stood up and moved aside.

A large number of people entered at once, with the Crown Prince and Li Jing leading the way, and the others following behind.

Li Jing was taller and stronger than the Crown Prince, and his expression was imposing even without anger.

The Crown Prince, however, was more handsome and refined than Li Jing. His demeanor was elegant, and a gentle smile was always on his face. He was clearly very kind, yet he exuded an ineffable air of nobility…

After everyone exchanged greetings, the Crown Prince and Li Jing sat down.

The Crown Prince smiled at everyone and said, "My seventh brother told me that everyone here today is a relative or friend, so we're all family, no need for formalities. It's still the New Year, so I wish you all a Happy New Year!"

Everyone thanked them at once, and it took a while for them to quiet down.

“I have a lot of official business to attend to, and my seventh brother is away from the capital most of the year, so we don’t get to see many people at home. Now that my seventh brother is married, I’ll have my sister-in-law…” He smiled and glanced at Mo Yi, then said gently, “Your sister-in-law and your sister-in-law should keep in touch. Your sister-in-law has a good temperament, is very talented, and knows many people. Let her guide you.” After saying that, he laughed first.

"Oh my, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have such a good relationship."

"...So the Crown Prince is quite witty..."

Everyone was whispering and praising each other, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

The Crown Princess laughed and said, "If you put me on this platform, your sister-in-law will laugh at me later..."

Mo Yuan smiled with her eyes crinkled.

Therefore, even if someone was watching her, they wouldn't realize that she was carefully observing the Crown Prince...

I saw the Crown Prince once before, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet...

But at that time, it was my first time attending such a grand event, and seeing so many dignitaries, although I didn't panic, I was still dazzled. The Crown Prince just walked in, and before I could even see him clearly, he had vanished.

Looking at it carefully now... it turns out there really are people in this world who embody all the beautiful words?
She felt her mouth was dry and her heart was pounding wildly, something she had never experienced before.

In an instant, an idea formed in his mind. The Crown Prince said a few more words, then rose, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll have another family feast at my seventh brother's residence..."

Li Jing remained mostly silent throughout, then rose to see him off.

Princess Yu'an searched through the crowd, but the ink-pattern she had just seen had vanished again. She then looked for Xu Ke, but he was in the crowd, not even glancing at her…

Stay for dinner?
Not feeling disgusted, he followed the Crown Prince and his wife.

The experts left, and everyone relaxed and prepared to eat.

Mo Yi had her maid invite Wang Shi and the others over.

The brothers Mo Rushan and Mo Ruhai, accompanied by the brothers Mo Da, also came before Mo Yi.

"Father. Uncle!"

Mo Ruhai smiled broadly, "Yiyi, your garden is so big! When you have time, tidy it up properly, and I guarantee it will become a famous garden in the capital!"

Mo Rushan frowned. "Second brother, don't gossip. The Empress has just entered the palace... Besides, her primary task is to take care of the Prince!"

"Why can't we do it together?" Mo Ruhai protested.

When the Wang family arrived, she, accompanied by Mo Wen, was quite poised and elegant.

This was Wang's first meeting with her in-laws, Madam Xu. Following Mo Wen's instructions, Wang exchanged a few pleasantries. Madam Xu praised Mo Wen and Mo Yi, and they continued their small talk.

Madam Liang knew Wang Shi, and they stood together as they spoke.

Liang You silently observed Mo Yi for a while amidst the crowd. She looked truly beautiful now… her demeanor was noble and elegant. He knew she was capable of making a good life for herself.

I'm relieved that she's like this...

Mo Yi turned around and saw him too.

The two looked at each other and smiled gently.

The past will eventually fade away with the wind...

Madam Zhang approached Zhuang, the mother of her son's best friend. Mo Fan, that boy, was considered a benefactor in her son's life. Therefore, Madam Zhang, wanting to befriend Zhuang, also invited Lord Zhang and Mo Rushan over. Before long, the four of them were chatting and laughing…

During the meal, with the maidservants taking care of her and Mo Wen's subtle reminders, Madam Wang didn't say much and didn't raise her voice, maintaining a very dignified demeanor.

However, looking at the prince's two concubines, three mistresses, and three children, she felt very worried for Mo Yi.

Mo Rushan over there has no trouble socializing. Mo Ruhai… he rarely attends these kinds of events, but he's a quiet person, and with Li Jing's special care and the help of his son and nephew…

The meal went very smoothly.

When seeing the guests off, Mo Yi spotted Liu Nian in the crowd and smiled at him.

Liu Nian also grinned mischievously and made a face at Mo Yi.

Most of the guests had left, except for a few male guests who wanted to stay for dinner; they all went to the front to chat.

After a long period of busy work, Mo Yi, along with her parents and siblings, went to the main courtyard where she lived.

Mo Ruhai stayed by Mo Yi's side the whole time, quietly asking her all sorts of questions, his concern for her impossible to hide.

Upon entering the courtyard, Madam Wang clicked her tongue in admiration, "Look at this big courtyard, daughter, you're really living a life of luxury!"

Mo Wen stayed close to Wang Shi, worried that she might make a scene, but her worries were unnecessary.

After she spoke, Wang became very well-behaved, no longer displaying the same arrogant attitude she had at home: "I've seen it all..."

A family visited Moy's house; it's so tall and so big!
The room was filled with countless beautiful objects, including coral, agate flower trees, jade carvings, screens, carpets, and various other items.

These are all good things!

But then Wang discovered that she didn't own a single item!
Finally, in the living room, they saw the ancestral chest of the Mo family, and the inscription on it, written by He Xiangu, had been repaired.

Wang's face turned red.

If it weren't for this item, they wouldn't have even given their daughter a single garment before marrying her off...

This is a story that could be told for decades.

She lowered her head and dared not utter another sound...
