Chapter 320: Casting lots

Xu Zigui sneered, but there was already a vague outline in his heart.

If you have been pregnant for two months at the beginning of the examination, then ask for a safe pulse once a month, and you just give birth in the eighth month, because you can't invite a midwife, you can only ask the doctor who has been bought by you to deliver the baby for you, and let the doctor quickly send the child out of the palace after birth...... happened to catch up with the emperor and came to see this waste concubine who invited the imperial doctor once a month, and happened to see Concubine De, who had just given birth to a child with a pale face, so he had pity and arrested the imperial doctor to ask, and the imperial doctor had already been bought by Concubine De, so naturally he would not tell the truth.

After receiving Xueyuan Palace, Concubine De continued to confinement under the pretext of recuperation, and also avoided sharing a room with the emperor. It wasn't until two months that he was completely stabilized that he announced that his illness was completely cured. After all, the disease inside is the most difficult to regulate, and there is an old lady in the palace to testify, and the emperor feels that he has just obtained a rare treasure, so he naturally will not doubt it.

In order to fulfill her lie, Concubine De has been quietly drinking the soup of avoiding children, until three years later, when she felt that the time was ripe, she cut off the soup, but the emperor only thought that Concubine De was injured and not easy to conceive, and she felt guilty, which made Concubine De continue to be favored before giving birth to Mo Chengyuan.

Xu Zigui guessed, maybe there were newcomers in the harem later, and Concubine De was old and yellow, and the emperor only had the past affection and guilt for her, so that Concubine De would not fall out of favor, and it seemed that there were only the queen and those newcomers for the matter of serving......

But such a thing can only be speculation, there is not enough evidence, just with these few words, people will only say that you are looking for trouble, then Concubine De's sentence: "There is nothing to say about the holiday" can make her have nothing to say, and if there is a doctor at that time, the doctor is very old, and he thought that he was trusted by the emperor at that time, and it can be seen from the fact that the emperor will not only listen to the words of this one doctor and then find other doctors to verify this.

Mo Leyuan does not have as much brain hole as Xu Zigui, just because Xu Zigui has been speculating about the relationship between Liu Liang and Mo Chengyuan, and has been brainwashed by Xu Zigui repeatedly, so he followed Xu Zigui's train of thought.

But Xu Ziruo, who was standing on the side and listening to his sisters' speeches, never understood what Mo Leyuan and Xu Zigui meant by these words, and only thought that Mo Ziyuan was going to do something to Mo Chengyuan, so he inquired about Concubine De, but he still didn't understand that he wanted to deal with Mo Chengyuan and find out what Mo Chengyuan did before he was born.

"The younger sister is stupid, please ask the eldest sister to make it clear."

Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan remembered that Xu Ziruo still didn't know anything about this matter, and when they looked at each other, they both laughed: "I just wanted Sister Ruo'er to hear about this inside, but I forgot that Sister Ruo'er didn't know anything." ”

After that, he didn't explain to Xu Ziruo, but only smiled: "That's it, sometimes the less you know about this kind of thing, the better, that is, if you don't know anything, you don't know anything, and if you know, it will only increase your troubles." ”

Xu Ziruo nodded, and knew that Xu Zigui was also doing this for his own good, so he didn't ask anything, but just smiled and gossiped with Xu Zigui and said something else: "The eldest sister has been out for a long time, and the queen is coming over soon?" The eldest sister still went to the courtyard to say hello, the courtier sister has a public ...... The county lord will accompany you. ”

It has not been a few days since Mo Leyuan was demoted to the county lord, Xu Ziruo was not used to it for a while and almost became a princess, because he didn't know the reason, and he was afraid of making Mo Leyuan sad, and he glanced at Mo Leyuan cautiously, Mo Leyuan smiled and said: "You don't need to be so nervous, I'm fine, it's not a bad thing for me to be demoted to the county lord." ”

Xu Ziruo didn't know that this was Mo Leyuan's sacrifice for Wei Yuanfeng, so he just quipped: "It's a blessing in disguise, and the emperor gave you a marriage to Wei Hou because he downgraded you, right?" ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Xu Zigui for a while, and said with a smile: "Anyang won't be happy and hasn't fallen asleep for a long time." ”

Xu Zihui nodded thoughtfully, and pretended to smile: "Isn't it, haven't you seen Anyang's dark circles, Anyang hasn't slept at night since his father gave him a marriage." ”

The corners of Mo Leyuan's mouth twitched slightly: "If I can't sleep at night, where did I come from such a big spirit to come to you to make fun of you during the day." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Xu Zigui out: "I'm waiting for you, go out quickly, don't let people wait." ”

Xu Zigui smiled and nodded, and Mo Leyuan said again: "Ruo'er and I will go out in a while, and I will take her to recognize those people." ”

"Then I'm bothering you." After that, he smiled at Xu Ziruo and said, "How is this sister-in-law?" If my sister is still satisfied. ”

Xu Ziruo, who was flirting with a word, blushed and was about to say something, but he heard a smiling voice above him: "The imperial sister-in-law is so teasing the fiancΓ©e of the younger brother, aren't you afraid that the younger brother will swallow the information he just got into his stomach and not spit it out in the future?" ”

The three of them all raised their heads suddenly, looking at Mo Chenyuan hanging upside down on the tree, the corners of Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan's mouths twitched slightly, Xu Ziruo was blushing again, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mo Chenyuan who jumped down from the tree

"This thin-skinned person, why did he run away when he saw him? Ye is not a jackal, tiger and leopard, can he still eat you? ”

Mo Chenyuan was already a well-known gentleman in the capital, but he has slightly restrained himself over the years, but his means of flirting with the little girl are still the same as they were back then.

Now with a smile on his mouth, a pair of peach blossom eyes are looking forward to it, looking straight at Xu Ziruo's face is about to overflow blood. Mo Leyuan really couldn't stand it, so he slapped Mo Chenyuan's hand on the hand where he was holding Xu Ziruo's arm, and said angrily: "What does the fifth brother think of Ruo'er, he will flirt with whatever he says." ”

After that, he also glanced at Xu Zigui, smiled and scared: "My sister can be here, be careful that my sister annoys you and doesn't let Ruo'er marry you!" ”

Mo Chenyuan made a look that seemed to be extremely scared, bowed over to Xu Zigui, and said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, ah, no, it's the eldest sister, the eldest sister, Xiaosheng is so polite." ”

As he spoke, his eyes still looked at Xu Ziruo, as if he was asking Xu Ziruo if he was satisfied. Being made such a fuss by Mo Chenyuan, Xu Ziruo's face, which was about to spontaneously combust, was even redder than a tomato, Mo Chenyuan seemed to be unwilling to let go of Xu Ziruo, and was about to speak again, but Xu Zigui was robbed in front

"Seeing that the person who is about to marry a wife, why is he still so childish!" As he spoke, he first glared at Mo Chenyuan, feeling sorry for his sister, and glanced at Mo Leyuan, and said, "Le'er, you take Ruo'er to the courtyard first, if people see Xiao Wu and Ruo'er meeting in private, it will not be good for both of them to spread the word." ”

The two are also about to get married, and the woman who is about to get married in Da Zhou can't go out to banquet at will, but this time it is the birth of the first granddaughter of the royal family, and it is his own nephew, so he made an exception, if people find out that Mo Chenyuan and Xu Ziruo met in private, the reputation of the two will not be wanted, especially Xu Ziruo, who will definitely be crowned as inappropriate at that time, and can't wait to say.

For Xu Ziruo's consideration, he naturally wanted to take Xu Ziruo out. Besides, Mo Chenyuan is very good at flirting with his sister, and Xu Ziruo is extremely thin-skinned, isn't he shy here? Therefore, Mo Leyuan was not with his brother, Xu Zigui nodded and took Xu Ziruo to the courtyard as soon as he spoke.

Seeing that Mo Leyuan took Xu Ziruo out, Mo Chenyuan pouted and underestimated: "The imperial sister-in-law is really stingy, people just heard that Xiao Ruo'er came here to come over, but before she could say a few words to Xiao Ruo'er, she was driven away by the imperial sister-in-law, which really hurt people's hearts." ”

Xu Zigui was given goosebumps by Mo Chenyuan's mouthful, shook his body, glanced at Mo Chenyuan with disgust, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said: "You can have a good word with Sister Ruo'er, look at you without a serious word, Sister Bengong is thin-skinned, but she doesn't listen to you like those girls around you." ”

Mo Chenyuan's aggrieved flat mouth: "It is said that the imperial sister-in-law is gentle, how can she be so fierce to her brother." ”

Xu Zigui glared at Mo Chenyuan, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really a brother, and even the appearance of playing a scoundrel and coquettish was a little natural, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with Mo Chenyuan anymore, so he asked straight to the point: "What are you doing here?" ”

Although Mo Chenyuan said just now that he came here because he heard that Xu Ziruo was here, Xu Zigui didn't believe that Mo Chenyuan was like a person who would care about anything for any woman, this is a backyard after all. It's not a place where men should come, if Mo Chenyuan really wants to see Xu Ziruo, he can visit the Weiguo Mansion at night like his brother.

Hearing Xu Zigui ask, Mo Chenyuan laughed at first, then turned grim and said, "I am the person sent by the eldest brother to help Yuerong." ”

The corners of Xu Zigui's mouth twitched slightly, Mo Ziyuan really dared to command anyone, and even his own brother was enslaved, he really had the talent to be a king: "So what? What was found? ”

Therefore, Xu Zigui is really talented in the world, and he is really a husband and wife who enslaved his brother-in-law.

Mo Chenyuan was helpless and said with a smile: "You and your eldest brother enslaved me when I came naturally. ”

As he spoke, he grinned at Xu Zigui for a while before continuing: "Liu Liang really met Concubine De as a eunuch, but he only met once, and Liu Liang left without saying anything. ”

"Didn't say anything?" Xu Zigui squinted his eyes, if he really knew that Liu Liang was being targeted by them, maybe he would pay more attention, knowing that the trouble came from his mouth, so it was normal not to say anything, but .......

"What about the action? Did the two just stand silly face-to-face for a while? Isn't it possible that there is no body movement? ”

Mo Chenyuan shook his head: "The two of them just looked at each other silently and stood for half a stick of incense, during which they didn't say a word, but Concubine De's eyes would pop up with some similar sad expressions from time to time, and there was everything else." ”

After that, he said: "That's why my eldest brother asked me to come over and talk to the imperial sister-in-law, saying that you women are careful and may be able to find something." ”

Xu Zigui nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "I know." ”

After that, he glanced at Mo Chenyuan, after all, he was not at ease, and instructed: "Don't tease Ruo'er if you have nothing to do, that child is thin-skinned, be careful that she really annoys you." ”

Mo Chenyuan didn't know if he heard it, nodded with a smile, handed Xu Zigui a piece of mahogany carved out of the little tiger, and said with a smile: "Put it on for Sister Hui'er." ”

When Xu Zigui saw the little tiger, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Hui'er's aunt thinks that our Sister Hui will win a literary champion in the future, and our Uncle Hui'er wants our Sister Hui to win a martial champion in the future, and I hope that our Sister Hui will really be able to be both civil and military in the future." ”

Mo Chenyuan smiled and said, "It's not impossible to have an eldest brother and an imperial sister-in-law training. ”

After that, he estimated that the time was not early, so he smiled and said to Xu Zigui: "Farewell" and turned around and disappeared.

Xu Zigui helplessly looked at the direction where Mo Chenyuan disappeared, and when the little tiger with the woodcut came out, he saw Lan Xiang, and handed this to Lan Xiang one by one, and said with a smile: "Put it on when the little county lord catches the lot in a while." ”

Lan Xiang nodded, put the little tiger into her sleeve, and helped Xu Zi back to the yard.

At this time, everyone was almost here, Xu Zigui tilted his head and asked Lan Xiang: "Are they all here?" ”

Lan Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "Hui Niangniang, they are all here." ”

Xu Zigui nodded with a smile, and continued to command in a low voice: "Then you and Red Sleeves will go and invite the queen mother and the imperial grandmother over one by one." ”

After that, Xu Zigui took Pan Chun's hand to greet others, Red Sleeves and Lan Xiang ran quickly towards Fengqi Palace and Cining Palace as instructed, Xu Zigui whispered a few words in Pan Chun's ear, Pan Chun listened carefully, and after Xu Zigui finished speaking, he whispered softly in the ears of several ladies who were good friends on weekdays: "Niang Niang said that the little county lord is already ready in the southwest courtyard, please move Mrs." ”

After all, the venue is limited, and the southwest courtyard can't accommodate so many people, and the child's lot-drawing ceremony is watched by the family and several good friends, even if it is the prince, there is no reason to pretend to be everyone, but after the royal heirs such as Sister Hui and other royal heirs draw lots, there will be grandmothers running to tell the guests what the little prince or the little princess county lord caught.

Therefore, the ladies who were not invited also continued to eat, drink and have fun in the courtyard, waiting for the little county lord to catch it, and the grandmothers came out to tell the little county lord what he had caught, and those who were invited out of the little county lord's foreign Weiguo Mansion were also the princess's foreign family Zuo Xiang's mansion, as well as the Zhou Guogong Mansion that was good on weekdays, and then Zhou Yining and Qin Siyu were the ladies who were good friends when they were in the boudoir, and the rest were the aunts of the little county lord.

And on the prince's side in the front yard, in addition to the people who invited the little county lord's foreign family Weiguo Mansion and the crown princess's foreign family Zuo Xiangfu, they were Wei Yuanfeng, Gu Cheng and other brothers who followed the prince to birth and die, and the rest were the uncles of the little county lord.

When Xu Zigui led people from the backyard to the southwest courtyard, Mo Ziyuan happened to lead people from the front yard to the southwest courtyard, and after several people blessed the courtesy, Mo Ziyuan took out a good brush from the cuffs, as well as a gold ingot, saying that it was given by the two uncles of the little county lord, and they wanted to use it for the little county lord to catch lots. Xu Zigui smiled and ordered Lan Xiang to take it, and the queen mother and queen rushed over.

Only then did Xu Zigui smile and presided over Sister Hui'er's lot-drawing ceremony: "Lan Xiang, the little county lord has everything he needs to use to catch lots." Pan Xiang carried the little county lord to the bed. (To be continued.) )
