Chapter 148: Resisting the edict and moving the world [4]
His cold eyes finally rested on the Minister of Rites, Mo Zhilan narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "It seems that Aiqing has a plan to write?"
The Minister of Rites knew who Mo Zhilan was talking about without raising his head. He quickly ran to the royal road, knelt on his knees and whispered, "I do have a script to report."
"Say." The cold order came from the almighty Emperor.
The Minister of Etiquette tremblingly took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the chamberlain who came from the dragon chair. He presented it to the emperor, and then said respectfully: "The big wedding vessel, made of silk and satin, was supervised by the Feng family.
The jewelry and wedding cakes have all been delivered on schedule, but...just...this, just...Feng Family..."
Stumbling, the Minister of Rites really didn't dare to tell what he saw.
Mo Zhilan opened the memorial, looked over quickly with phoenix eyes, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with the Feng family?"
"This, the Feng family... they..." The Minister of Rites struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I have brought the things they sent to the palace. Please check it for yourself and you will know what I want to say.
Already."
"Oh?" Mo Zhilan showed a little interest, and said with amusement in his black eyes: "Someone, bring up the Feng family's things."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards at the palace gate carried several boxes of red lacquer boxes brought into the palace by the Minister of Rites into the Zichen Hall.
Looking at the unique totem of the Feng family on the box, Mo Zhilan waved his finger and said, "Open it."
As the box was opened and the contents inside were clearly seen, all the officials present took a deep breath.
Guaiguai, everyone knows that Feng Xizi has an unruly style, but no one has ever thought that she actually dared, actually dared to——
In the first box were countless pieces of silk neatly arranged.
It is no wonder that the top-grade silk and satin produced by the Feng family is of the highest quality, both in terms of luster and pattern.
However, the wedding silk used by these emperors for their weddings, without exception, was all white - was this a wedding or a funeral?!
The second box was separated by several spaces with red velvet. Once opened, there was a burst of brilliance. The exquisitely forged jewelry was made of gold, inlaid with beads, carved and inlaid with precious stones. Every piece was a priceless treasure.
However, all these jewelry that were supposed to be worn by the Queen-to-be were all broken at the waist - so cruelly that they might have been regarded as the Queen-to-be's neck.
Compared with the horror of the first and second boxes, the wedding cakes in the third box are not so scary.
The largest and most expensive dim sum shop under Fengjia specializes in wedding cakes, and the only smell is a sweet aroma...
However, the Minister of Rites reported anxiously in a low voice, "Your Majesty, these wedding cakes have been examined by the imperial doctor and contain an unknown amount of... croton."
Ba, croton?!
Oh my god, is this an open attempt to poison the emperor?!
For a moment, the court was in an uproar. Although the Feng family has always been arrogant, but now...it was clearly disrespectful to His Majesty!
Ah, no, that’s very disrespectful!
It is simply disobedient, rebellious, and even humiliating the royal family and Your Majesty!
What a bold Feng Jia, what a bold Feng Xizi!
The ministers were whispering and discussing endlessly, while Mo Zhilan looked at the three boxes of "gifts", his thin lips slightly curved, and he gave an imperceptible warm smile.
"Your Majesty, the Feng family has another message that I would like to bring to your Majesty."
"A word?"
"Yes..." The Minister of Rites looked at the ministers around him and hesitated to speak.
His narrow handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and Mo Zhilan said warmly: "What are you talking about?"
"She said...she said..."
"explain!"
"When the wind blows from the south of the Yangtze River, the phoenix returns to the dynasty. There has never been an unparalleled beauty in the world——"
