143. Enter the palace
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Mo Feibai's appearance hasn't changed at all, but his eyebrows and eyes seem to have aged a lot, but the cynicism is still there.
"Last time I said goodbye, the princess was as light as a swallow, and now I don't want to have a big belly when we meet." Mo Feibai glanced at her and said.
Mo Mingzhu didn't quarrel with him like before. "How are you doing, Your Highness?"
"He's good. Now that King Chen is about to be the monarch of Great Qi, can there be fewer people to serve him? It's hard to think about it. Mo Feibai said.
Mo Mingzhu's eyes darkened: The monarch of the world, now that the war has been won, many people must have already taken aim, how to stuff his daughter on his bed, and stammered. Oh, it's also troublesome for men to be too sought-after.
"It's really good that the princess didn't tell Her Royal Highness that she was pregnant?"
"I just don't want to distract him." Mo Mingzhu said.
Mo Feibai nodded, and then remembered something. "Didn't you take the antidote I gave you last time?"
Mo Mingzhu was silent. "I'm fine now, and since that memory isn't necessary, I don't have to remember it."
Mo Mingzhu said very calmly, Mo Feibai glanced at her a few times, and put away his cynical look: "...... You are insecure, so you are afraid of change. ”
Mo Mingzhu raised his eyelids. Mo Feibai suddenly smiled again, as if she had mistaken the sharp eyes that pierced her.
"Now that you're together, that memory is indeed dispensable." "Cherish it, he ...... He is a man who can be trusted. ”
After speaking, Mo Feibai felt that his words were a bit redundant, and he was tired from galloping all the way, so he said to rest, let Mingzhu prepare his luggage, and return to Chang'an the day after tomorrow.
The weather was dry in late autumn, and the journey was quite smooth, but Mo Mingzhu was pregnant, and the carriage didn't dare to run fast. Escorting her all the way were Mo Feibai, Qing Sui, and Qing Li, more than a dozen masters. All of them are top-notch, and they are all safe all the way.
Chang'an City, as always, occasionally has ruins and broken walls after the smoke of gunpowder.
A lot to do.
However, the people did not panic too much, and Xiao Yuchen's combat was quick and accurate, and it did not harm innocent civilians. The old court of Daqi was pushed to the northeast corner, the mountains were high and the rivers were far away, and it was about to enter winter, and it was already a trapped beast. Only after Chang'an is stabilized, the old dynasty and one party can be completely annihilated in one fell swoop. It is rumored that the former emperor, the crown prince, and the three princes are still alive, but now that the dignity is gone, Xiao Yu is ruined, and the murder of the heroes and the mutilation of siblings have been revealed, and the world is scolded.
As for Xiao Jingling, the former first prince of Great Qi and the third prince, I heard that he was terminally ill and couldn't survive this winter. In the midst of the chaos, most of the royal family members have gone into exile, and there is not much left.
Mo Mingzhu never doubted this result, this piece of country was defended by King Chen's blood and sweat, and it was as easy as finding something to take it down. It's just that the emperor is ruthless and forced this tiger to rebel!
Mo Mingzhu returned to Mo Mansion first, and half a month later, Xiao Yuchen personally welcomed her into the palace.
After entering Chang'an, Mo Mingzhu heard a lot of rumors, heroes and beauties are always inseparable, rumors say that there is a pair of talented and beautiful women on the side of King Chen, so the battle in the world is so smooth, and the people have not suffered.
The two beauties often raise grain and release grain, which is praised.
These two beauties are Yang Xu'er, the daughter of the prime minister, and Gao Xueyan, who is the most well-known. When it comes to "hype", the ancients should be the best at this, no, three or five months have already begun to create an image of both ability and political integrity, and beautiful as a fairy. Mo Mingzhu said in his heart.
"Princess, don't listen to those gossips, our Highness won't like other women." Lu Ling said, for fear that Mo Mingzhu would be angry.
Yun Tao also followed to persuade Mo Mingzhu.
Mo Mingzhu laughed and said, "It's okay, listen more to know who is doing the demon." "In the future, if you live in the palace and relax, you always have to find a few people to learn from each other, don't you?"
Lu Ling was dumbfounded, remembering the past when the master and servant had rectified those slaves in the Allure Palace, and the worry in his heart was clear. "I'm afraid that after the new monarch is canonized, those ministers will let His Royal Highness take a concubine, what can the princess do?"
"There is no specific method, but the policy is very clear."
Yun Tao didn't understand. "Miss, policy, what policy?"
Mo Mingzhu smiled silently, gently stroking his stomach, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. “…… My child's father can only be my child's father! ”
In the early morning half a moon later, a layer of frost fell at night, and the flowers and roof tiles up and down Mofu were covered by frost, and the scenery was cold and beautiful. Lu Ling fetched water, and waited for Mo Mingzhu to freshen up with Yun Tao, and waited for a while for King Chen to greet him.
"Princess, how about wearing this splendid gold jacket dress today?"
Mo Mingzhu glanced at the skirt, which was bright and golden, but not atmospheric enough. "Change that set, a purple splendid gold silk wide-sleeved skirt."
Zhu Hai wore the blood phoenix golden hairpin that the Queen Mother had given her. This golden hairpin was given to King Chen by the Queen Mother at that time, and she planned to give it to her future daughter-in-law. In addition, it is embellished with a jasper step, dignified and luxurious and gentle and moving.
When Mo Mingzhu came out of the house, all the slaves who were sprinkled in the courtyard were stupid, and muttered, "Our Mo Mansion actually produced such a beautiful phoenix ......", "How did our eldest lady's ugly name come about...... "...... ...... people talking nonsense"
Mo Mingzhu glanced at the Purple Garden, and remembered that she came to this world a year and a half ago, and walked into the Purple Garden for the first time, when she was still confused about where to go, but she didn't expect that in less than two years, she was already married and had children.
Mo Mingzhu lowered her head, gently stroked her bulging belly, and smiled slightly. It seems that she came here just to meet Xiao Yuchen. When I met him, I became smoother and closer to him.
At three o'clock in the morning, Mo Mingzhu went outside the mansion and happened to see the mighty line of honor guards, eunuchs, palace maids, and guards, neatly lined up, surrounded by the men at the head.
Xiao Yuchen was riding a horse, and the clothes on his body were no longer the prince's clothes of the past. Bright yellow satin, black dragon pattern, thick long hair draped behind the back, half of the carved dragon golden hairpin jade crown on the top of the head, the heroic spirit between the eyebrows after half a year of wind and frost baptism, seems to have more mature man's charm.
He didn't wear a mask, and his beautiful face was exposed to everyone. The people in the middle of the road were pressed on both sides by the officers and soldiers, and they all craned their necks to look at the new emperor who was about to rule the world. In the past, it was rumored that King Chen was a madman and a disfigured ugly monster, but he didn't expect that he was such a beautiful man who was hard to find in the world!
All eyes were on Xiao Yuchen, however, his eyes followed the purple woman from beginning to end. It's been half a year, and I'm really going to want him to die!
"Mingzhu, I'm here!"
"Your Highness......" Mo Mingzhu gently helped his body.
Xiao Yuchen turned over and dismounted, but saw a little ...... Wrong. Mo Mingzhu's stomach bulged obviously, he was immediately stunned, and then ecstasy surged up, covering his perennially cold eyebrows and eyes with joy. "You, are you pregnant? I...... Am I a father? ”
Mo Mingzhu nodded with a smile, seeing that he was incoherent, he lost his composure in public for the first time.
Xiao Yuchen grabbed her arms, ecstatic, and wanted to hug her over and kiss her fiercely, but was disgusted by Mo Mingzhu - in front of the public, it was too bad. "People look at it......"
Xiao Yuchen smiled and even claimed that it was, and the people on the street were surprised: how could the mighty and domineering emperor just now be as well-behaved as a cat as soon as he arrived in front of the beautiful princess.
After saying goodbye to his father Mo Dingyuan and his younger brother at the beginning of his awakening, Mo Mingzhu was personally greeted by Xiao Yuchen and chased by the phoenix all the way to the palace.
*
Mo Mingzhu is a concubine, and naturally lives in the queen's dormitory, Fengxiang Palace. Then, there was a problem, the previous emperors did not live with the empress, but lived in the Qiankun Palace.
The ancient precept of the country and the emperor to let the emperor live alone in the Qiankun Palace is to remind the emperor not to be fascinated by women, and to put the country first. Now that the situation has just been settled, it is easy to cause chaos, so it is not good to change it rashly.
As soon as the couple had lunch happily and happily in Fengxiang Palace, the great eunuch Li Xiufeng came to report: "Your Highness, Gao Guogong and the Prime Minister asked to see His Majesty in the Qiankun Palace, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”
Xiao Yuchen sighed, looking at Mo Mingzhu, afraid that she would be unhappy. "Let them come back later......"
Mo Mingzhu smiled: "Your Highness, the world has been decided, and the two heroes want to come to discuss the matter of dividing the heroes, Your Highness, the country is important." ”
That Li Xiufeng had already heard of Princess Chen's methods, and she had rectified many people, thinking that she was a brutal and pungent tiger, but she didn't expect to say such a thing, and she couldn't help but raise her eyelids.
Mo Mingzhu took a sip of the rinsed tea, glanced at him with a sneer, and looked at each other, Li Xiufeng was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, only to feel that this sight had an unbearable chill.
Gao Guogong asked him to pay attention to it in the palace, and told the news that this princess was not simple, and he would pass on the news for a while to let the old man think of a way, otherwise, if Miss Gao wanted to enter the palace as a concubine, I am afraid it would be a little difficult. Li Xiufeng lowered his head and pondered, and followed Xiao Yuchen's ass out resignedly.
Lu Ling glanced at Li Xiufeng, who was far away, and said softly to Mo Mingzhu: "Princess, I look at the old eunuch's sinister eyebrows, I'm afraid it's not simple." ”
Yun Tao went to grab it: "He's not simple, then our princess is not simple, right?" ”
"You're going to be poor!" Mo Mingzhu smiled and nodded Yun Tao's forehead. "It's better to throw you out of the palace as soon as possible."
Yun Tao pursed her lips and was busy obediently.
Mo Mingzhu finished lunch, rested for a while, and led Lu Ling, Yun Tao and the four newly transferred palace maids to walk around the palace together, first Fengxiang Palace.
Mo Mingzhu entered Fengxiang Palace for the first time, and the queen was not on the same page with her before, so she didn't dare to come here rashly.
Now only a small part of the palace people are left behind, and they are basically newly elected palace people. There are many people and things, and it is difficult to say whether there is a spy eyeliner among them......
The people met in the palace all greeted Mo Mingzhu. Her husband's rebellion became a success, and she was also blessed, and she became the female boss of this land, Mo Mingzhu said in her heart.
On the corridor, there was a palace maid with a brown paper wrap in her arms, and when she saw Mo Mingzhu, she knelt down to say hello. Now it is still canonized, and it is still called the princess.
"The slave and maid knock to see the princess Niangniang, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"Get up."
Mo Mingzhu glanced at her and saw that this woman had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she was very beautiful. "What's your name?"
"Slave and maid."
Mo Mingzhu saw that she was respectful, and the clothes she was wearing were also the style of a palace maid.
"You are the great palace maid of Fengxiang Palace?"
Xiu Lian: "The slave maid is to serve His Highness's pen and ink, and I just went to the library to get some dry ink." His Royal Highness said that it was better to use the ink stored in Fengxiang Palace. ”
Mo Mingzhu nodded, "Send it quickly." Then continue walking along the cloister.
After the maid got up, she secretly glanced at Mo Mingzhu's master and servant who were far away, and gradually showed disdain. A little eunuch in a green robe came to the side, and whispered to her: "You look at the princess with this look, beware of being punished!" ”
Xiu Lian snorted lightly and said, "What is there to be afraid of?" With a big belly, how much fire can I sprinkle, besides, I am the personal palace maid dedicated by the Gao family to His Majesty, and she dares to ...... me."
The little eunuch was interested: "Do you know Miss Gao Xueyan?" ”
Xiu Pian's face was colorful. "That's nature." "I'm the eldest lady's person, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, the princess hasn't been able to help my young lady for so long, what else can she do to me?" "Heh, besides, in a few days, the eldest lady will enter the palace to be a concubine, and this stupid princess will only have the share of crying......" "When the eldest lady becomes a concubine, I will definitely be promoted when the time comes, and maybe I will also be a noble beauty." You're going to have to take care of me......"
As she was talking, suddenly the little eunuch pulled her sleeve and gave her a white face.
Xiulian turned around and saw Mo Mingzhu actually going and returning, standing behind her!
"The king, the princess!"
She fell to her knees with a puff, her knees slamming against the gray bricks with a muffled thud.
Mo Mingzhu looked down at Xiu Lian in front of him. "Aren't you afraid of Hongu? Why are you shivering now? What else are you talking about...... Oh, saying that this palace is only for crying? ”
Where did Xiu Lian dare to speak, even if she despised the princess in her heart, but it was also in private, and it was still extremely terrible to be broken. "The king and the princess have heard it, and the slave and maid are in love with the princess in their hearts, and it's too late......"
Mo Mingzhu gave Lu Ling a look. Lu Ling stepped forward and slapped Xiu Lian in the face. Xiu Lian screamed "ah", covering her face and looking at Mo Mingzhu in shock.
Mo Mingzhu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "What, dissatisfied?" ”
Xiu Lian didn't speak. Lu Ling reprimanded: "The princess asked you something!" ”
“…… Slave, don't dare. ”
Mo Mingzhu touched her stomach lightly, thinking that it was better to look less at the scum. "That's it, just hit twenty boards and throw them out of the palace."
Xiu Lian couldn't believe her ears, knelt up straight, and grabbed Mo Mingzhu's skirt. "Princess Niangniang, I am the palace maid sent in by the Gao family to present to His Majesty, are you not afraid of offending the grandfather and the eldest lady of the country like this?"
Show mercy and fearlessness.
Mo Mingzhu glanced at her coldly, as if he had a smile: "It's really a big deal, this palace is so afraid." "Since the eldest lady of the Gao family sent you to the palace, then after the fight, you will be locked up in the dust palace, and wait for your eldest lady to come and save you!"
