「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38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiKIs2Zfzd
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBni2oZ3033
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEEm3sSWS
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zdlVPXnX
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesv5Seuv3u
他來陵冕的新年第一縷曙光，是和她一起看的。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFRPuE5Glu
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEdblvXT7
莫歌陵的眼眸動了一下看向他，屈少勤趕緊轉了回來。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUP2EufgRn
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJEZOygKUw
「……，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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCW5vni92a
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj3B8AAH1T
「奉祭品！」早已準備好的祭官開始焚燒三牲五穀，直至焚燒畢。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblK2FQv2lK
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbBBLgeoXM
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECDmdMRj43
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QhEOIijtQ
「退壇！」凌星走後，文武百官依序離開。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEBawrn5JQ
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqWjnt07ql
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G3zN0TwoA
祭天大典結束，屈少勤回府補覺不過四個時辰，便又要進宮。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejkTG5t7ky
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvtxUfnr0K
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvKjnLadTW
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KJSxlcbBv
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcKY1lQiJ0
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxR6tsSLrC
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb4zhUQfzA
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLfhsCNPiL
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7a2xL1EQX
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIVgqVUrsu
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64rzYvTM4E
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw33JowU7Ac
不久之後，凌星來了，身後還跟著幾個妃嬪。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ539nZYcZLH
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsGb8dMqeZ
「參見陛下，參見娘娘。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng4fynqNCR
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwr37Wi9TO
「免禮。」凌星先是說了一些場面話，然後和眾臣敬酒。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nKkdxLJ30
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyGEjaNKWS
屈少勤知道自己酒量不怎麼樣，只敢抿一小口。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3bWqZZYrn
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8OEu69YxO
隨著宴會開始，絲竹管絃之聲縈繞，不絕於耳，眾人推杯換盞。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AYbL4pm7k
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC5zeT3g3s
酒過三巡，屈少勤本在默默低頭吃著菜，「承恩王殿下。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQYGmlRTb
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5f0iIw41t
三個大臣端著酒杯站在他的桌子前，「臣敬你一杯。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLiqJaBedB
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFLj4SlrVj
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？38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtydR2jDmm
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hcwulql18
然而令他沒想到的是，走了一撥又來一撥，他看的頭皮發麻。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzW7afnRtC
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs4FM2bgd8
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！38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zJjXcNbRB
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ128gCVK2D6
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2oA6F4hs1
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy5Ca4i6ct
「各位大人可別都只和承恩王喝啊。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIupQAxrqF
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOBcLKYRQ
「莫元帥，這您說的哪裡話……」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGkeY6yMqW
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwViHLRimz
「那就來。」她倒滿酒樽，一杯一個，不少人就被引過去了。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wX6Yv3G6z
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuRoGYYUxm
「歌陵的酒量還是一如繼往的好啊。」凌星似笑非笑道。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl61rG5lmP
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZPhUIAAlV
「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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaatWXgyc8r
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDoaty5rhG
「承恩王的生辰是何時啊？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkSkIwU8U3
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9sWF1yUlM
「回陛下，是一月廿三。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y8RnJ70Nm
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHtRkKq9W
「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。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQrJU485F
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpknxkIbwX6
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcclzL3LRad
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcEs02cyqW
「錢愛卿，此事交給禮部了。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYDUw6xJQ
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG8R1ZrOj7
「是。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUET8l0Szpd
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UvRJjdDGr
屈少勤不好再多說什麼，只好沈默。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7D5KxBVpe
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVcpAgxVmO
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecCobtWgfu
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekcPdZ0yar
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlctV1dGH9O
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKUj6IaW31
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqsn6j0xoS
宮宴持續了兩個時辰才結束，回府的時候，是亥時。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmlF6xDO1W
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSknXEnErb
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBhEIo4WBM
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91UGNkiNA
「今天沒醉吧？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwCOtjKfAz
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ57prAJjz4
「還好。」其實已經微醺，不過他沒有說出來。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEEOCkpUwM
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3sH1djfK
「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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugr18wA2um
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU4dmyie1a
「你似乎很會與他們打交道？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZvVWOKbt1
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLeJDrIiUO
「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。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf8VNyTz56
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj0JX8TQGW
「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？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBSFfYmwJt
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDpBXeVEwh
莫歌陵說著不禁心有戚戚焉。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzfArAfC3v
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZfJdru8HJ
「你走到今天的位子上，一定很辛苦。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6besV7Psl
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecM7RrNiui
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmP5H40k7I
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJaZvPXCys
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKJdqLKsR1
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNFK4L8jAI
「都過去了，習慣之後，也沒什麼。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW80geWDZx
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHXCHYCMP5
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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtQfNkO2AS
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVnMi2Su7l
於是沉默持續到石徑坊和錦繡坊的岔路。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPB1mzFUx7
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9r4z9g1RN
「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。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WJLgNkCHf
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4UVOS68J
「走吧。」良久，他說。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjgfq2vmD7
