「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46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W8z2EWKEH
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnyY6mNBu2
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrErNu1ak8s
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5wYQARefE
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrwLUtENCm
他來陵冕的新年第一縷曙光，是和她一起看的。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER6OzjwF0v
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0sBCEYpoL
莫歌陵的眼眸動了一下看向他，屈少勤趕緊轉了回來。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvi7wCPEJY
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIiOGZ4InE
「……，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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbA8qMQhJ9
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKMedSYDWF
「奉祭品！」早已準備好的祭官開始焚燒三牲五穀，直至焚燒畢。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjOM3RAFS
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA3V4btweU
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIwbkpiHc0
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LBE1ZHPZ9
「退壇！」凌星走後，文武百官依序離開。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8com1L43
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs2fCyDNdJ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE8JWy9hzz
祭天大典結束，屈少勤回府補覺不過四個時辰，便又要進宮。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8crY1S5Pc
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbY4eRULzF
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHtWC4HUHs
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhCkGbFWLu
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TKfmlOsDI
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwVHAnv5EF
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKkSKhJ71d
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqJJmi5zr3
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJStUHPna1
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMC8J27HOE
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcxcvdOHIY
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8kvsWTsgn
不久之後，凌星來了，身後還跟著幾個妃嬪。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJXVqWfiwi
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWMWJogAq
「參見陛下，參見娘娘。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkItvP39CYG
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl0bIPXdXW
「免禮。」凌星先是說了一些場面話，然後和眾臣敬酒。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMjGziMBZN
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13h2ktZomm
屈少勤知道自己酒量不怎麼樣，只敢抿一小口。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQcuz9jMW9
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TZXVLNscl
隨著宴會開始，絲竹管絃之聲縈繞，不絕於耳，眾人推杯換盞。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFps0fLrOBO
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7vJBviuZ
酒過三巡，屈少勤本在默默低頭吃著菜，「承恩王殿下。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQIeZN3WHy
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy3lQwN98p
三個大臣端著酒杯站在他的桌子前，「臣敬你一杯。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13KF71AoO
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lvttjY87c
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？46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa22vsBPChp
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71TGt7hanN
然而令他沒想到的是，走了一撥又來一撥，他看的頭皮發麻。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhUT2XJ6Mq
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItxLKzS17e
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！46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJG1a9gdI4
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULSGNt8IOe
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfXC1fZXob
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzCo4DfqeQ
「各位大人可別都只和承恩王喝啊。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsbX6XbOeb
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG6V14w9Uh
「莫元帥，這您說的哪裡話……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYMMepba4P
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoFYEsqaxh
「那就來。」她倒滿酒樽，一杯一個，不少人就被引過去了。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0wxMNIRxu
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2grd7h3EC
「歌陵的酒量還是一如繼往的好啊。」凌星似笑非笑道。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUsIvinKtG
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25w0J4ncu
「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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmvRnmXJg
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudMKyge5B2
「承恩王的生辰是何時啊？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU4iXdfv4v
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xc8bJG6ZT
「回陛下，是一月廿三。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfEl2HgpL
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIJ5ZpxQIA
「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。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOw7WH1NJw
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28fI0JzQkA
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9DWs6RhBc
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfopYJVrD0z
「錢愛卿，此事交給禮部了。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFX37JXqqc
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIWO6LltXv
「是。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV4Tx3rOEH
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkYoBd3rGB
屈少勤不好再多說什麼，只好沈默。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahqrsXm2k
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFgtdgt6gw
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE48hTct2bb
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡommNSuy7FM
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHZfzsJvP5
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCfSHSuNPK
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5WvyFHd7d
宮宴持續了兩個時辰才結束，回府的時候，是亥時。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2wNf5ddov
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsIv2a8Hst
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTdDY6zSpO
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOxAkzwNc6
「今天沒醉吧？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztsbhz1gxz
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcda8qAOhG
「還好。」其實已經微醺，不過他沒有說出來。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGAl3pJeKX
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xnOGNphoT
「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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y3WYXLnuv
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI1I7mrZoR
「你似乎很會與他們打交道？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS6N0ULNBg
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREwo4xxYny
「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。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO6gNBkgAU
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMzD0fwFZL
「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？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ceJwM2dl4
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2CCczZznc
莫歌陵說著不禁心有戚戚焉。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXjpuhj5aj
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMvB0zvHac
「你走到今天的位子上，一定很辛苦。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99JBYLXTPt
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb8dPEDJgY
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfszsbdbN9r
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7fJ4UPHqK
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Di7UCZnD
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfMJUXmXAh
「都過去了，習慣之後，也沒什麼。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mGBMMs62E
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3bPKBOTem
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsWwWtwXtQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmjEuHHlFO
於是沉默持續到石徑坊和錦繡坊的岔路。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTB210qzcG
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL2Ul4EVc5
「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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc6iHoFGXr
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iwoXT5H9h
「走吧。」良久，他說。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw4QxGoZL2
