「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47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE06OKgkCKY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6FBoW24VL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRsfFErHv
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6DGqWuoVC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpphZNVzKt0
他來陵冕的新年第一縷曙光，是和她一起看的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJP8eunNNu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4tWX9rv5
莫歌陵的眼眸動了一下看向他，屈少勤趕緊轉了回來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcPhD3AoWu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewtvMl6XMd
「……，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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYoiseLnez
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRXbR4rLhG
「奉祭品！」早已準備好的祭官開始焚燒三牲五穀，直至焚燒畢。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlg6Bygj61
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c7eA8G7Zc
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns1PHy4rcU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVAGZoErlL
「退壇！」凌星走後，文武百官依序離開。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsz3iGLYKf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsF64x99i2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf81MAw4sRP
祭天大典結束，屈少勤回府補覺不過四個時辰，便又要進宮。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUexXS5gu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLyZrxAjJZ
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf55UGVHUG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbbQWyqy5B
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WQwDLI8b8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRiFuLJ2HJ
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YdfY8Nwo2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU6wIelBFE
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurHQKuIqAh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUii4sf6AV
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKov3pwrbeC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2xPWU8Mwk
不久之後，凌星來了，身後還跟著幾個妃嬪。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXFLhcN9rA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEFkGsuf5f
「參見陛下，參見娘娘。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8la0b06TH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYOwVbhN3b
「免禮。」凌星先是說了一些場面話，然後和眾臣敬酒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuKRElIG2N
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzDtX4sT5D
屈少勤知道自己酒量不怎麼樣，只敢抿一小口。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ9Nfc7WF3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO48LcPBMH
隨著宴會開始，絲竹管絃之聲縈繞，不絕於耳，眾人推杯換盞。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWjL2xcQZX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZpJj3lfI4
酒過三巡，屈少勤本在默默低頭吃著菜，「承恩王殿下。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJqXrIRsvu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YyR90mb7O
三個大臣端著酒杯站在他的桌子前，「臣敬你一杯。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcBSRgfR86
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CpD3i7e2I
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？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa2Knh5ldC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGZDJBO6o
然而令他沒想到的是，走了一撥又來一撥，他看的頭皮發麻。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStystQAgp1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAw7o6MSId
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！47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJQth7uvEk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfNXRLVakR
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThyIqLPXXu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig7rnJRl1m
「各位大人可別都只和承恩王喝啊。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGrxUT8eaH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV404ei6AW5
「莫元帥，這您說的哪裡話……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR1c2YS0vF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGVusPUX5y
「那就來。」她倒滿酒樽，一杯一個，不少人就被引過去了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBBgBMreMF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpayLiRbvr
「歌陵的酒量還是一如繼往的好啊。」凌星似笑非笑道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrP0nOCaLo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehvLWyYqCc
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRj4OdLruW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg5l7nMdBs
「承恩王的生辰是何時啊？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHppyPz0Ph
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqaRfPIVV
「回陛下，是一月廿三。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbRxI5tj1H
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDmcHPelSo
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡculz9DBzY3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJS46Dy5q
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHSY54C80Q
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcH7ZQWJV0
「錢愛卿，此事交給禮部了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sQIF8RHvr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgu6lu5TJj
「是。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJ3ikPNV6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAycE2lSCkz
屈少勤不好再多說什麼，只好沈默。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEiyYw7Llt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTImrY2jM4V
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEhe0NFEte
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhWE4ENyZn
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO862UofYIu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI2Ra7OFfQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xNOhzvK3S
宮宴持續了兩個時辰才結束，回府的時候，是亥時。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5wk5A0ZjK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0avifPzgHm
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D3oF2daT3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZjCvi9EFo
「今天沒醉吧？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep0t4E74Qn
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3VRiiJE2
「還好。」其實已經微醺，不過他沒有說出來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaExBRhaO5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD5Le6Syc8
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGXGHP8ksy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wraPjXJh1
「你似乎很會與他們打交道？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgb9Z5CKRC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUiPyfYXzk
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWfE9bHyWR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNiM3tiTPt
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHTW66S2mD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQitmXy2pA
莫歌陵說著不禁心有戚戚焉。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsYTmPdc9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LxYSKSHGd
「你走到今天的位子上，一定很辛苦。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzACTKHIWm
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfjJPismGs
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxFbEgX6ri
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyZlVuJ1OX
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNFQj5F7oh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPShjyXDHdh
「都過去了，習慣之後，也沒什麼。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNLHTorpL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7VwDwqu2h
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKwncMaueu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYOxjrNc8H
於是沉默持續到石徑坊和錦繡坊的岔路。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyC03EnGeg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKJbaofYi
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rvqmn2pun
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywJOiZMcG6
「走吧。」良久，他說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJT9fqrNVf
