「歲首之晨，吾於陵冕見曙光初照，彼伴吾側，忽生一願，願此後歲歲年年，長有今朝。曆兩百四十一年，一月初一記。」——行勉手劄34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc9u5q7vCP
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit9b5q5rT6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKuU157c3g
屈少勤微微側頭，熹微的晨光正好照在莫歌陵半張臉，一面是明，一面是暗。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3VSLrwzxQ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahisKVDe2v
他來陵冕的新年第一縷曙光，是和她一起看的。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQsKwvYlYo
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI0y6g2RsG
莫歌陵的眼眸動了一下看向他，屈少勤趕緊轉了回來。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW9tGSNzPn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHcSir2873
「……，至此再拜，伏願俯察，謹奉此文，以昭我志。」話語落下的同時，天光大亮，映照雪白大地，凌星把祝文放進火盆。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpFnGtfagw
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoha2CzgOlo
「奉祭品！」早已準備好的祭官開始焚燒三牲五穀，直至焚燒畢。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkPkDM1NF5
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XYRP1jAhV
禮官開始宣讀送神詞，太常寺再次起奏，之後，凌星又行三跪九叩之禮。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEGRgHLcME
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zQ06euSgx
「退壇！」凌星走後，文武百官依序離開。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xiGqdLkJs
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH9De80xxw
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIF5vLh5X6
祭天大典結束，屈少勤回府補覺不過四個時辰，便又要進宮。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiZPomyXBb
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsCSskpFH9
酉時年宴開宴，這次不同於接風宴，過年是普天同慶，被邀請的人自然又更多，到處都是生面孔。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnDjMMotFI
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXVeW26P2s
好在這次他的席位在莫歌陵旁邊，不過那麼多雙眼睛看著，他們也不能過多交流。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eSyzSSJ82
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vmew6wUzn
只看到不少大臣來來去去的，趁凌星還沒到來和莫歌陵寒暄，她臉上掛著笑容，遊走在各個官員之間。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSroYEZGcMy
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXV42iS1cI
她知道很多東西，什麼人來和她說什麼，都能回上一兩句，在這個名利場，她游刃有餘。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf5KSzgHdV
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qdVZhjEqY
屈少勤不知道當官需不需要要天賦，但他可以肯定自己無法這樣帶著面具說話。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPwh3itbPq
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd5GOBdt3W
不久之後，凌星來了，身後還跟著幾個妃嬪。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRz2gIh5B4
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOWSV1Aqaj
「參見陛下，參見娘娘。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVsKNx9jcd
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX7TFmfSbr
「免禮。」凌星先是說了一些場面話，然後和眾臣敬酒。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglzAgu8woB
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRTZcZgxmu
屈少勤知道自己酒量不怎麼樣，只敢抿一小口。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjmmbYIt1k
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5daSo00PHg
隨著宴會開始，絲竹管絃之聲縈繞，不絕於耳，眾人推杯換盞。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf6xg7Qfs9
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWssKqqGNB9
酒過三巡，屈少勤本在默默低頭吃著菜，「承恩王殿下。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AtL7KR91m
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiEZz9Llto
三個大臣端著酒杯站在他的桌子前，「臣敬你一杯。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Dy8tGbWC
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUEhjhRlRn
他認出其中一個人是王澤安，也許是說過話的人分外熟悉，他也端起酒杯，一杯而已，應該沒關係吧？34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXQxj9LddD
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hHS2EY7aU
然而令他沒想到的是，走了一撥又來一撥，他看的頭皮發麻。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqOGICr7RA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdWXS1IbmB
上次三杯就倒，宮宴的酒雖不烈，但他也不知道自己究竟能承受多少啊！34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt6Mp58iJT
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrbH1JgPDl
趁著被敬酒的間隙，他悄悄遞了一個求救的眼神給莫歌陵，她挑了挑眉，拎著酒壺靠過去。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zHiCtw3Ut
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v4AgRaBf3
「各位大人可別都只和承恩王喝啊。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsqltEBP6K
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPzexpstd
「莫元帥，這您說的哪裡話……」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzHsTapgQf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnyS7kprDN
「那就來。」她倒滿酒樽，一杯一個，不少人就被引過去了。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLSOgnDDrt
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1jkXBKvl
「歌陵的酒量還是一如繼往的好啊。」凌星似笑非笑道。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRxvRPT5o
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7viSk3qKt
「陛下謬贊，喝習慣自然也就好了。」凌星撇了一眼屈少勤，說起別的事。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAb2DeAjOp
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEzU0oloKP
「承恩王的生辰是何時啊？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbbg9m6Z3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9UNqIYoiX
「回陛下，是一月廿三。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2XxwilMt
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dzfC1ChN0
「看愛卿們都這麼熱情，到時候給你辦一個生辰宴，讓你們好好熟悉熟悉。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgTeACACYr
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteTuznW2d4
屈少勤摸不著頭腦，不懂凌星此舉何意，正在想怎麼拒絕，凌星卻直接拍板定案。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegprPWYHEb
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWzVuzBvoy
「錢愛卿，此事交給禮部了。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAeudlCgOX
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuAd5DEEvj
「是。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHsEKT5fBh
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCy7wnguCa
屈少勤不好再多說什麼，只好沈默。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqareNUdLo
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6vty9k6K
凌星掃了一眼身旁的凌霜，她看向屈少勤的眼神雖平靜，卻多次藉著飲酒頻頻打量。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRSIJUkIcS
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvhip61f6N
他心一沉，雖知凌霜與顧昶感情甚篤，但凌星始終沒料到，這份感情會深到即使凌霜已經忘記了顧昶的臉，卻還是會對與他相似的人產生興趣。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH3mFiRbSt
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjg93qwUPA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFKpzeqToF
宮宴持續了兩個時辰才結束，回府的時候，是亥時。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7osOTO2gn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppxeRhj07x
莫歌陵和屈少勤避開人群，走進小巷後，屈少勤立刻拉開車簾，莫歌陵趨馬上前。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmt1RvdeTQ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZGTpT0xwe
「今天沒醉吧？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFPkLWNL2E
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5a4V9AFcS
「還好。」其實已經微醺，不過他沒有說出來。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnK8Pqk9A6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmVQ8HHTqB
「以後遇到這種情況，你就裝醉，提前脫身。」屈少勤點了下頭，想起剛剛宮宴上那一幕。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb9Kb9Nsds
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ7XC036Fh
「你似乎很會與他們打交道？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoWqbt0BKt
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEDS6UGkiF
「初時我亦不懂世故，直到真正做到統領的位子，才知馭下和人情交際才能讓我在官場上走得更遠，更穩。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1GMT2cHI9
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIvQVnbU9o
「酒在這個名利場是最佳利器，酒過三巡，每個人便如同帶上一層面具，說的話真真假假，有幾分真情實意，局中人是酩酊還是清醒，誰又知道呢？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92CRxznJmc
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZbGkGr27O
莫歌陵說著不禁心有戚戚焉。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3yQUwjDGX
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzgdTaoaN
「你走到今天的位子上，一定很辛苦。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEsq3SqOxT
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH0fv9DbZ4
什麼樣的人，能年紀輕輕就身居高位，運氣、實力缺一不可，可是她十歲就過著這樣的生活，汲汲營營，處心積慮。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcHtTFUFrf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6v4BZY1oQ
雖然平時和別留伊、陌上花待在一起時有些幼稚，但到底還是官場摸爬滾打過來的。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiyZhG2JrH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKciG2RREF
「都過去了，習慣之後，也沒什麼。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9QzAKv2Xl
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSVf489tyV
她垂眸，和屈少勤合拍是另一回事，他們之間的關係，還沒有好到能讓她毫無顧忌的提起過去七年的往事。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI6KDN0nPK
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWv9oDaRMh
於是沉默持續到石徑坊和錦繡坊的岔路。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSqDfI6QxY
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdJmvr0SPN
「再會。」她策馬往那條掛滿大紅燈籠的街上去，屈少勤目送她走遠。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPZIGlEDRk
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62lWAEnMBX
「走吧。」良久，他說。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAUs8d6C0t
