「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115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHelg5Ixu7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLnzIOHWLt
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ591xWkgh1c
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPKufH9zeC
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKKHBuOxY7
他來陵冕的新年第一縷曙光，是和她一起看的。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEIfsspOJx
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdncrBdK8W
莫歌陵的眼眸動了一下看向他，屈少勤趕緊轉了回來。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Q52jWNak
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVBHwMlhBO
「……，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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0m4kfpNoO
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltrXKcB7m
「奉祭品！」早已準備好的祭官開始焚燒三牲五穀，直至焚燒畢。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJHouJmjSz
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TMEFNOc5c
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEhq9z0nlK
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRoWwJ2XGg
「退壇！」凌星走後，文武百官依序離開。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIydyqu9dc
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfmo80fec
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUJV3b45zv
祭天大典結束，屈少勤回府補覺不過四個時辰，便又要進宮。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20VFDppZAp
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXn160yihp
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXdX6kQFY8
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCVtKFbfx4
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDGBC0WBsm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7pK9v1QKx
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgpNmdvobR
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxBHrg2DOT
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdFLaV7caF
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXPV6XTum
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEUPIVgiyp
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QSyPT2zqw
不久之後，凌星來了，身後還跟著幾個妃嬪。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwfdXarOv3
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm34V4462h
「參見陛下，參見娘娘。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpQH4rzEk
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsRqHBcEOz
「免禮。」凌星先是說了一些場面話，然後和眾臣敬酒。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLHevryXfZ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphoUttfFqx
屈少勤知道自己酒量不怎麼樣，只敢抿一小口。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZppjxl43o
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZljnHvXtG
隨著宴會開始，絲竹管絃之聲縈繞，不絕於耳，眾人推杯換盞。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIxiUuHgEy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfleKAo903m
酒過三巡，屈少勤本在默默低頭吃著菜，「承恩王殿下。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf2IHi45An
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3FlveEiPz
三個大臣端著酒杯站在他的桌子前，「臣敬你一杯。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn4M0CV9gr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTp6ivgfVw
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？115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNigfmuu2q
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXiDrAE7aW
然而令他沒想到的是，走了一撥又來一撥，他看的頭皮發麻。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWxUsTIDk0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCg9RjsbX
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！115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvmt6IrkVX
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBy2c5hpv
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjTNeWRHzN
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafJDolgwFe
「各位大人可別都只和承恩王喝啊。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJbe9F0AX
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdUOQmdYs4
「莫元帥，這您說的哪裡話……」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX6np3PsPl
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfKSfRcfw8
「那就來。」她倒滿酒樽，一杯一個，不少人就被引過去了。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp923J77ct4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnGDNHHXqq
「歌陵的酒量還是一如繼往的好啊。」凌星似笑非笑道。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM0IPjbmpL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyKffV3vs
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVxHQ8zM9V
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4rtTKSFSJ
「承恩王的生辰是何時啊？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1drD6jW2
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYUT0IHrQz
「回陛下，是一月廿三。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBWv5JCbeW
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvXs0YzCu
「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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9jCFKlayg
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNOzlOC38J
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljvNn1ObD
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXaUcfnlAD
「錢愛卿，此事交給禮部了。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXgaOr5FF
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjuIeKSZQD
「是。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2dtMJZMw0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9uiZf5NRj
屈少勤不好再多說什麼，只好沈默。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYZro9NcaU
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs6gpRZjf4
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FSdNV5w59
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRVTlFDYl2
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC8PD7FPQh
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVix9ifVdfl
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pYzf4cEoO
宮宴持續了兩個時辰才結束，回府的時候，是亥時。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkojgApuhr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvhtdEBNz3
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvmP7fsbrn
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyErQEFhV3
「今天沒醉吧？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuTDJAuwVw
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKiRl5j77c
「還好。」其實已經微醺，不過他沒有說出來。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag2f2k42s3
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuRYsiQ8gJ
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkSQy0rFAw
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClOXT2RKK
「你似乎很會與他們打交道？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bpp76oOdP
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC7Uc2OheP
「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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeQPV4uQPn
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqyZuhLa27
「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？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJmBy3UtPl
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx2Rbcgf7T
莫歌陵說著不禁心有戚戚焉。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyHnKsN5N
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSudkr9RlM
「你走到今天的位子上，一定很辛苦。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbevT9Ng7h
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsQR2ezcPU
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC9Kpr2DVb
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUepzPETPvl
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0kSQMRxIg
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiRjzFAYEi
「都過去了，習慣之後，也沒什麼。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RTE2bzHlR
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdM5J09WI
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9iJzbghrC
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGrpb8PEix
於是沉默持續到石徑坊和錦繡坊的岔路。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxZHWgTVbp
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnSgwxJAtk
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuamgv4JmVO
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR1n2Xacs0
「走吧。」良久，他說。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aH7euwALA
