CHAPTER XXIII

As soon as Hu Shi and Mo Shu'an wanted to say goodbye, they heard the woman say, "Since you are here, let's listen to the master of Xuan Debate talk together." ”

Xuan Wei clasped his hands together and didn't pay special attention to anyone, but just nodded his head and said, "Donors, please take a seat." ”

The woman didn't sit down immediately, just smiled, Hu and Mo Shu'an looked at it but didn't move, the Xuan Wei took the lead to sit on the cushion in front of the Buddha statue, the woman sat down, and then glanced at Hu Shi and said, "You also sit." ”

Hu Shi and Mo Shu'an did not sit behind the woman, but sat down across two rows of cushions, and the girl in the palace costume did not say anything when she saw it.

I don't know if the main hall is empty or because of this mysterious voice, it actually made Mo Shu'an feel an ethereal feeling, which was very good, but it made Mo Shu'an feel creepy.

I don't know if it's Mo Shu'an's delusion, she thinks this metaphysics is very problematic, and the perfection is too fake.

Although Mo Shu'an's face remained unchanged, even if she knew that these two people should not know that she had seen it, Mo Shu'an's cold sweat soaked through her underwear.

When the master of Xuan Debate reached a certain stage, he saw a dark and gloomy man wearing a dark brocade robe walk in, and when he saw the man, he stood up and saluted, and Hu Shi and Mo Shu'an also quickly stood up and retreated to the side to salute. The identity of such a generous person who can come in and sit next to the woman can be imagined.

The man didn't seem to notice, and didn't even mean to argue, so he walked directly to the woman in the costume and sat down, the woman frowned slightly and said, "Doesn't the husband like this?" Why did you come here today? ”

The man didn't say anything, but the little servant next to him replied respectfully, "Back to the words of the princess, the concubine Niangniang specially instructed His Royal Highness to come to accompany the princess to listen to the scriptures every day, so that she can appear sincere." ”

Although Hu Shi and Mo Shu'an had already guessed the identity of the woman, because the other party did not say it clearly, it was not easy for the two of them to kneel, but at this time, they did not have these concerns and knelt directly on the ground.

The fifth princess pursed her lips and said, "I will explain it to my aunt, and you see that there are other female guests here today, and it is inconvenient for His Highness to stay for a long time." ”

Only then did Mo Shu'an understand that the meaning of the fifth princess letting her mother come in with her to listen to the scriptures was just an excuse, and she didn't want the five princes to disturb her opportunity to get along with Xuan Wei.

In this way, this fifth princess is really bold enough, obviously her husband is also in Puyang Temple, but she has already cheated with someone in private, and she is still a monk. So do the five princes know or not?

Mo Shu'an didn't look up, and he could only see the corners of the clothes of the five princes, compared with the bright colors of the five princesses, the color of the clothes of the five princes was particularly gloomy. In fact, Mo Shu'an just realized that it didn't matter if the five princes knew it or not, because the five princesses relied on the noble concubine.

Even the queen can only be forced to the point where she is now famous and powerless, and the prince is also encouraged to protect himself, and he is cautious and does not dare to make the slightest mistake, and the biological mother of the fifth prince died early, and he is disabled and has no real power, what can he do?

Mo Shu'an felt that compared to it, it was better for the five princes to not know.

The five princes didn't speak, but just looked at the five princesses quietly, and the five princesses were impatient, and reluctantly coped, "I hit this lady at first sight, and I have made an appointment to listen to the lecture of the master of Xuan Debate in the past few days." ”

Mo Shu was startled, his face turned pale, even the Hu family noticed that something was wrong, and secretly hated in his heart that this was simply a disaster, although he didn't know what it was for, but anyone with a little brain could find that there was a contradiction between the five princes and the five princesses, and even faintly felt from the words of the five princesses, she was perfunctory and dissatisfied with the five princes, and the five princesses would explain to their aunt just now, but it was more like a warning and threat to the five princes.

The most important point is that no matter what the identity of the five princesses was before they got married, after she married the five princes, her title to the concubine should follow the five princes, not only because the five princes are her husbands, but also because of the imperial power, regardless of whether the five princes have disabilities or not, he is the prince and the son of the emperor, and no matter how noble the concubine is, can she honor the emperor?

Hu Shi felt frightened, but helpless, and now he could only hope that these two would not anger their mother and daughter.

The fifth prince listened to the words of the fifth princess, with a little irony in his eyes, and glanced at the two Hu family who were still in the corner, and he only felt ridiculous at first sight.

The fifth princess said directly, "I won't send His Highness." ”

The five princes didn't move, the five princesses looked at the palace girl behind her, the palace girl didn't seem to notice the discord between the five princes and the five princesses, bowed with a smile, and said, "Your Highness, Niangniang sent someone to spread the news, saying that the emperor and grandson miss His Royal Highness and the princess, and Niangniang feels sorry for the emperor and grandson, saying that she will send the emperor and grandson tomorrow." ”

Hearing his son's news, the fifth prince soothed a little between his eyebrows, nodded his head and got up and left directly. From the time he came in to the time he left, except for when he was sarcastic about the five princesses, he didn't look at Hu and Mo Shu'an at all, as if they were really just strangers.

When the fifth princess saw people leaving, she said with a happy face, "Susu, why didn't I know about this?" ”

The palace girl saluted the five princesses with a respectful attitude but did not answer, but just looked at the Hu family and Mo Shu'an, and the five princesses remembered the two of them, "Two of you, get up, Your Highness is short-tempered, and I didn't say much just now." ”

Hu Shi and Mo Shu'an lowered their heads and did not get up immediately, but after kowtowing, they got up, but the hall was cold, and there was no cushion where they knelt, Hu Shi was inevitably a little unstable when he got up, and Mo Shu'an quietly helped his mother.

The fifth princess said, "You guys should step back first." "Yes." Hu and Mo Shu'an saluted again and exited the main hall.

When the two of them left the hall, they glanced at each other, only to feel that this time they were unlucky to come to Shangxiang to the extreme, and they couldn't wait to go back and pack up their things and leave, but they understood that this was not appropriate.

Walking back to the courtyard with Yahuan, Mo Shu'an whispered, "Chunhua, you go back first, and let Mother Liu prepare some hot water." ”

Mo Shu'an himself was better when he was young, but Hu hurt his body when he gave birth, and he couldn't take care of it well during the confinement, and his body seemed healthy, but he was very weak.

Hu Shi held Mo Shu'an's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. "I'm not afraid." Mo Shu'an shook Hu Shi back, smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. ”

Hu Shi responded, "We will leave tomorrow, no matter what it is, if the little emperor and grandson come, their minds will be on the child." ”

Mo Shu'an has been kind all her life, and she didn't speak again, her mother didn't know what she saw yesterday, and she only thought that the five princes and the five princesses were contradictions between husband and wife, and the five princesses suppressed the five princes because they were the nieces of the concubines, and it was impossible to think that there was a ...... between the five princesses and a monk

In fact, what Mo Shu'an found strange was that the attitude of the five princesses towards the five princes, as well as the relationship between her and that Xuan Xuan, why would she be so happy about the appearance of her son? It seems to be particularly ...... What's in particular, Mo Shu'an can't think of it, could it be that she misunderstood yesterday? In fact, after thinking about it like this, after all, she was far away, and she only saw the monk's hand......

Or maybe although the five princesses have no feelings for the five princes, they still care about their sons very much, just like their mothers, they have no feelings for their fathers, but they love her and her brother very much.

Mo Shu'an thought for a while and then left it behind, she is not the kind of person who likes to dig roots, but it is huge Sometimes, she knows too much, and it is not good to guess too much, and the affairs of these people have nothing to do with her. "Then when I go back, I will ask Yahuan to pack her things first, and then send a letter to my aunt." Mo Shu'an spoke, "Mother, are we going back?" ”

Hearing the reluctance in his daughter's words, the Hu family no longer thought about the royal affairs, although the Hu Mansion has a title, but the royal affairs are actually very far away from them, "If you like it, you can stay in the Zhuangzi for a few more days." ”

Mo Shu'an deliberately put his arm around Hu Shi and said coquettishly, "I will be where my mother is." ”

Hu Shi was amused and laughed and said, "Then it's on Zhuangzi, Brother Ting will come over in two days, and our family of three will have a good gathering on Zhuangzi." ”

Mo Shu'an nodded and said, "I listen to my mother." "Bad girl." Hu Shi scolded with a smile, but he was not angry, but liked his daughter's appearance.

Laughing and laughing, Hu and Mo Shu'an went back to the courtyard, Liu's mother just got the news of Chunhua, so she asked people to ask for hot water, and she waited at the door, although Chunhua said that Hu's mother and daughter were going to the courtyard, but because Liu's mother didn't know what happened to them, it was inevitable that she was uneasy, and Chunhua's knowledge was limited, after all, they couldn't follow into the hall.

Mother Liu saw that Hu Shi and Mo Shu'an looked good, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam and girl, come in, the hot water has been prepared, but do you want to freshen up first?" ”

Mo Shu'an explained, "Because of the arrival of the nobles, my mother has been kneeling on the ground of the main hall for a long time, so that my mother has scalded her feet, and the medicinal oil has been brought?" ”

Mother Liu's eyes were full of distress when she heard this, although Mo Shu'an only said Hu's, but Hu knelt, how could Mo Shu'an not kneel, but the nobleman ...... Mother Liu couldn't say anything, "There is hot water and medicinal oil, Mrs. and girl hurry into the house." ”

Hu Shi soothed, "It's okay, it's that Sister An is too nervous." ”

Liu's mother didn't refute, just urged Hu and Mo Shu'an to enter the house, Chunhua and the others had already prepared everything, not only Hu's, but also Mo Shu'an's, Liu's mother was waiting for Hu's hot feet, and Chunhua was waiting for Mo Shu'an next to her, Liu's mother kept moving, "Girl, don't care if you feel young, the girl's family is the most taboo to get cold, it's good to be prepared, and then use hot water to compress your knees and calves, and then rub your ...... with medicinal oil."

Mo Shu is warm in peace of mind, and only people who really care about you will think so much, "Got it, Mother Liu." ”

The five princes returned to their rooms, except for the little guy next to them, and let the people in the house go out, and these people didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, the five princes' tempers were uncertain for a day or two.

When the five princes were grinding, the little guy didn't go up to help, but lowered his head and shrunk himself aside, eager to get into the ground immediately, so that the five princes couldn't see it at all, and the five princes didn't care, carefully grinded the ink, and laid the paper, then chose the pen, and the meticulous and gentle preparation is different, he writes very strongly, a forbearance word is not only scribbled very big, the paper is broken, the five princes casually threw the paper on the ground, one after another, his words became more and more neat, when the ninth sheet was written, he stopped, The little guy came out at this point, carefully put away the paper on the ground, burned all the paper to ashes in front of the five princes, and then put the ashes into a basin of water, and waited for the five princes to nod, then went out with the water and poured it out.
