"Do you want to get married?" Concubine Huangxian was slightly surprised when she heard Xuanyuan Jue ask, but her face was more surprised, she always hoped that Xuanyuan Jue could get married as soon as possible, even if she didn't marry a princess and go back to be the hostess, she had to have a few concubines in the house to serve, but Xuanyuan Jue was always reluctant to get too close to women, and once made Huangxian Concubine worry about whether there was anything wrong with him.

"Not for the time being, but Erchen was slightly envious when he saw the deep affection of the Nine Emperor Brothers and the Nine Emperor Princesses." Xuanyuan Jue found an excuse and said: "Although the Nine Emperor Brothers are now sleeping motionless on the bed, and it is the same as the living dead to say that it is ugly, but the Nine Emperor Princesses still do not abandon him, just ask how many people in the world can do it without abandoning." ”

"The relationship between the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses has long been heard in this palace, and I went to the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion on the order of your father before, and I did see that the Nine Emperor Princesses took good care of the Nine Emperor Princes, and I was also touched by the feelings between them." Concubine Huangxian said with emotion: "You are the son of this palace, and this palace naturally hopes that you can find a girl who is in love and get married as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Concubine Huangxian say this, Xuanyuan Jue just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to open her mouth to tell her that the person she liked was Baoqing, when she suddenly heard Concubine Huangxian speak first.

"As you said, there are very few women in this world who have a family background like the Nine Emperor Princesses, who are beautiful and emotionally single-minded, and the mother concubine not only hopes that you will find a woman who is in love, but also hopes that you can find a woman who helps you." The imperial concubine said meaningfully: "You are a prince, and your princess cannot be an ordinary woman, she must have the demeanor of a housewife, can help you manage the entire mansion, and can also help you in the family world." ”

Concubine Huangxian's later words made Xuanyuan Jue's heart suddenly cold in half, and he was a little hesitant when he wanted to say it, not knowing how she would react if he told her that he fell in love with the maid beside Murong Xuanji. All of a sudden, it became like this.

"Mother, what if the woman I like is just an ordinary woman and doesn't think about the family background of other princesses?" Xuanyuan Jue asked the Imperial Concubine tentatively.

Concubine Huangxian looked at him a little strangely and asked, "Do you have a favorite woman?" Otherwise why have you been asking me these questions today. ”

"Nope!" Xuanyuan Jue didn't want to deny it, and once again used Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao as an excuse and said: "My father took away the title of General Murong, and Murong Mansion is not as beautiful as before, but the Nine Emperor Brothers did not alienate and cold the Nine Emperor Princesses because of this, and they also wanted to rescue the Murong family at the expense of their father and Emperor for the sake of the Nine Emperor Princesses, so I have been thinking about whether the other party's family background is more important or the feelings between each other are more important." ”

Xuanyuan Jue's explanation dispelled the suspicions of the imperial concubine, and after thinking seriously for a while, she said seriously: "If you ask me, maybe it's my selfishness as a mother concubine, I will suggest that you marry a woman who is helpful to you as your princess, if you really fall in love with an ordinary and ordinary woman, then you can accept her as a concubine, as long as it does not threaten the identity of the princess, you can love her and pamper her, which is all you can give her." ”

Concubine Huangxian's words made Xuanyuan Jue very disappointed, and he didn't dare to tell Concubine Huangxian that the person he liked was Baoqing.

"Mother concubine, although it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines from ancient times to the present, and even the father and emperor are countless fans of the harem, but there are also many men who only love one in this life. Just like since the Nine Emperor Brothers married the Nine Emperor Princesses, there are no other concubines in the mansion, all the love and respect are given to the Nine Emperor Princesses, and I also want to be such a man like him. Xuanyuan Mo said in disappointment.

"After all, men like the Nine Emperors are a minority, you see that the man next to you doesn't have a few concubines in addition to the main room, not to mention those princes and ministers, even the men of ordinary people's families have one or two wives. I know that you envy the relationship between the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses, but the mother concubine doesn't want you to live like them. Concubine Huangxian didn't know the entanglement in Xuanyuan Jue's heart, so she said all her thoughts.

"Let me marry a wife who has no feelings, then I would rather be single for the rest of my life without a wife." Xuanyuan Jue said with some self-deprecation, "Every day when I wake up and look at those unfamiliar faces, the thought of such a picture is very stressful. ”

"Emperor, the mother didn't expect you to be so simple." Concubine Huangxian looked at Xuanyuan Jue with a smile, and said earnestly: "Since ancient times, the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, how can you act arbitrarily?" In fact, when you were not in Beijing a few days ago, your father had said about your marriage, but I know your temper, you seem to be easy-going, but your temper is very stubborn, so I politely rejected your father at the beginning. But I can't even master your marriage, let alone you! ”

"If being a prince is to be at the mercy of others in your marriage, then I would rather not be this prince." Xuanyuan Jue's temper slowly came up, and he didn't care that he was still in the palace, so he blurted out those taboo words without thinking about it.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Concubine Huangxian slapped Xuanyuan Jue nervously, looked around a few times with some concern, and whispered a reproach: "Don't you know how to avoid talking in the palace?" Don't you know if the partition wall has ears? ”

Xuanyuan Jue had an indifferent face, didn't put the reproach of the imperial concubine in his eyes at all, and said coldly: "I just said what I thought in my heart, what's wrong?" ”

Seeing that Xuanyuan Jue was more and more outrageous, and he didn't care about the occasion at all, Concubine Huangxian couldn't help but be a little angry, and said with a sinking face and suspicion again: "You tell me honestly, do you have someone you like, so you came to the palace today to test my attitude?" If it is the daughter of a minister's family, I can help you go to the emperor to say a few good words and ask for mercy, maybe the emperor will agree to this marriage, if the woman you like is just the daughter of an ordinary family, then I will tell you now, taking a concubine is already the greatest gift to her, and you are not qualified to be your princess. ”

"Mother!" Xuanyuan Jue shouted angrily to the Imperial Concubine, who couldn't help but be stimulated by what she didn't want to say, and couldn't think too much about it, so she said it all in one go, "I won't wronged the woman I like, no matter if she is as expensive as a daughter or as cheap as a maid, I will use an eight-person sedan chair to marry her into my Eighth Emperor's Mansion, and let her stand by my side openly." ”

"You're thinking beautifully, but you're naïve." Concubine Huangxian sneered and said, "Do you think it's easy for you to marry a wife?" If you marry a wife that displeased me and your father, do you think she can be happy? ”

Xuanyuan Jue's body trembled, looked at his mother concubine in disbelief, and asked in shock, "What will happen to you?" ”

"We'll clear the way for you to keep the women who are right for you by your side." Concubine Huangxian said lightly, but the warning in her words was self-evident. Once Xuanyuan Jue is determined to go to Baoqing, then Baoqing will be in danger at any time.

"If you dare to touch her, it means losing me." Xuanyuan Jue couldn't care about his attitude, and loudly threatened the emperor's concubine.

Seeing Xuanyuan Jue's rude attitude, this made Huangxian Concubine even more sure that Xuanyuan Jue had someone she liked, and this person's identity should be very lowly and not worthy of Xuanyuan Jue.

"I'd rather lose a son than let my son go the wrong way and regret it for the rest of my life." Concubine Huangxian didn't put Xuanyuan Jue's threat in her eyes at all, and looked at him coldly and said.

"Whether it's being single for the rest of my life, or abandoning my status as the eighth prince, or asking me to give my life, if I can't be with the people I love, those are nothing at all." Xuanyuan Jue dropped this sentence and rushed out of the imperial concubine's bedroom without looking back.

Concubine Huangxian looked thoughtfully at the back of Xuanyuan Jue leaving, and after a while, she called her henchmen in and explained, "You secretly find out who the woman the Eighth Prince likes?" Or look at which woman the Eighth Prince has been close to during this time, and tell me anything suspicious. ”

"Yes!" The henchmen kept in mind the confessions of the imperial concubine one by one, and soon disappeared in the palace of the imperial concubine.

"Baoqing!" Murong Xuanji pushed the door and walked into Baoqing's room, saw her leaning on the edge of the bed and looking at the book seriously, and hid the book under the pillow in a little panic after seeing that she had entered.

"Miss!" Baoqing got down from the bed and saw that Murong Xuanji had personally brought the decoction for him, he was both moved and a little scared, and immediately took his hand and put the bowl on the table.

"Hurry up and drink it all while the medicine is still hot." Murong Xuanji told with concern, and only after seeing Baoqing obediently drink all the medicine did a satisfied look appear on his face.

"Miss, I have some skin injuries, in fact, I don't need to take medicine, just rest for a few days and the wound will heal." Baoqing said casually, not taking his injury to heart at all.

Murong Xuanji didn't say anything more, but asked curiously, "I came in just now and saw you reading, what kind of book is it?" Where did the book come from? ”

"That-" Baoqing looked at Murong Xuanji with some hesitation, and when he saw the inquiring gaze in her eyes, he suddenly didn't know what to say, and lowered his head.

Seeing the abnormal Baoqing, Murong Xuanji guessed someone in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Was that book given to you by the Eighth Prince?" ”

Baoqing raised his head in surprise and looked at Murong Xuanji, seeing the clear gaze in her eyes, he lowered his head again and nodded lightly and said, "It was the book given to me by the Eighth Prince, when I was in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, he gave me the book when he saw that I liked to read." ”
