Chapter 409: Embarrassment
readx;
Is the right person around?
Even Xia Xue'er herself was confused, what she said to her mother earlier was just to dispel her mother's doubts, to make her believe that she had recognized the facts, and was determined to live a good life with the prince, so that she no longer doubted where the child in her belly came from? Or is it really what she really thinks about you in her heart after months of getting along with Mu Xuanlong?
She didn't know, and she wasn't sure. www.biquge.info81 She only knows that "Su Qi" is still a name that cannot be mentioned, and it is also a person who cannot be remembered, but whenever she thinks of it, her heart will still hurt. After leaving the mountains and forests far away from people and hustle and bustle, her heart seems to be changing subtly.
Mu Xuanlong just couldn't hear her for a while, and after a closer look, he realized that the other party had begun to lose his mind at some point, and his eyes were staring at him like this, and he didn't know where the soul flew, let alone what she was thinking, but he enjoyed being watched by her like this.
When Li'er brought the tea in, she saw her young lady sitting blankly, staring at the prince motionless with her two eyes, while the prince was holding his head with one hand, and he was also looking at each other with a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a very happy expression. It's her, who is in a dilemma for a while, it seems that it is not right to turn around and go out, it is not right to stand in place, and it is even more wrong to walk over and disturb it!
In desperation, he could only turn his eyes for help to Dongmei who was standing on the side, but Dongmei shrugged her shoulders at her, saying that she couldn't help herself. The corner of Mu Xuanlong's eyes caught a glimpse of the two people who were making small movements, although they were disturbed, but fortunately he was in a good mood, and he didn't blame him, he just waved his hand lightly and motioned them out, and a few people in the room were all relieved as if they had been amnestied, and they left the room softly.
I don't know how long I was in a trance, but after I came back to my senses, I saw a pair of smiling eyes staring at me, I was shocked, I was smart, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, I wanted to pick up the teacup to cover it up, but now the cup was empty, and I turned my head and swept the room for a week, but no one was there!
Seeing this, Mu Xuanlong couldn't help laughing, Xia Xue'er was even more embarrassed, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she reached out to brush her sideburns, and she felt that the atmosphere in this room was very weird.
"I heard that King Yan wants to leave Beijing in three days?"
Remembering that she heard her mother say earlier that King Yan and King Qi had visited the mansion many times, Xia Xue'er blurted out this sentence in desperation.
Listening to her question, Mu Xuanlong raised his hand and touched his nose, it turned out that she also had such embarrassing times, it was really funny! But what is admirable is that she is really skilled in shifting this topic, and there is no sense of disobedience!
"He can't leave yet," Xia Xue'er frowned slightly, and then explained: "The old lady will be seventy years old next month." ”
The old lady in Mu Xuanlong's mouth was the biological mother of King Yan, and she used to have a good relationship with the Queen Mother. There are not many concubines of the former emperor who are still alive, and there is only one concubine who still lives in the palace except for the queen mother. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was divided into meritorious ministers, King Yan was sent out of the capital, and he could not return without an edict, and the concubine was supposed to follow his son to Youzhou, but the emperor read a game between the queen mother and the concubine sisters, and the queen mother was reluctant to leave Beijing for thousands of miles and stayed in the palace.
In fact, anyone can see that this is just an excuse jointly used by the emperor and the queen mother, in order to contain King Yan who is far away in Youzhou.
Xia Xue'er sighed, such a method is not rare in history, she doesn't want to judge whether she is despicable or not, but from the perspective of a mother, her husband died, her former friends left one after another, and she didn't see her son for several years, such a lonely life is really cruel!
In previous years, the birthday can only receive a letter or a birthday gift from his son who is thousands of miles away, this year, the emperor left King Yan in the capital in order to delay the time and wait for Mu Xuanlong and Xia Xue'er to come back, the mother and son are blessed by misfortune, it is rare that a birthday can be spent by mother and son, seventy is already considered a high life, the days are getting shorter and shorter, and I don't know how long I can live.
Xia Xue'er sighed, and then said: "It's okay to do this, I have fulfilled a wish in life." ”
In this regard, Mu Xuanlong answered meaningfully: "It's just that some people shouldn't be able to sit still!" ”
King Yan originally had the heart to win over the ministers, and he also had contacts with several ministers in the court, but it was better in Youzhou in the past, and he could only rely on letters to communicate after all, which was not as effective as the talks. Now it's good, the emperor had no choice but to make an expedient measure, originally to delay time to leave King Yan and King Ning in the capital, Youzhou was dragged, but the conditions were created in the capital, such as the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, the two of them have visited more than once in turn, and other mansions have the same situation.
The pros and cons are hard to measure!
"I just came back, I don't know much about the situation in Beijing, and it is difficult to find a way to deal with it, so I will calm down for two days and find out the situation clearly."
Hearing this, Mu Xuanlong could only nod helplessly, he had been away for too long this time, and he needed to test the water before making a decision when he came back.
Hearing the sound of the two talking, the maid who had just gone out came in again, and Li'er gave the two of them tea, seeing that the time was not early, Dongmei ordered someone to boil hot water, and half-knelt down and saluted and asked, "Is the prince resting here tonight?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Xue'er and Mu Xuanlong both set their eyes on her, they were both surprised at first, but then Xia Xue'er's evolution turned into embarrassment, and Mu Xuanlong's became happy, and they couldn't help but praise silently in their hearts, this girl is very visionary and can speak!
In the face of her young lady's eyes wanting to strangle her, Dongmei only lowered her head and pretended not to see it, and then said: "If the prince doesn't return to the palace tonight, the slaves and maids should also prepare." ”
Xia Xue'er glanced at Dongmei hatefully and asked, "What do you want to prepare?" ”
She almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth, but Dongmei pretended to be stupid and counted them seriously: "Hot water for washing, covered with quilts, breakfast tomorrow, if you need a supper or something, anyway, there are more!" ”
Seeing her like this, Xia Xue'er almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and she didn't bother to pay attention to her, she only turned her head to look at Mu Xuanlong, who was smiling, and said with low eyebrows: "The prince will go to court early tomorrow morning, go back and rest early!" ”
After hearing this, Mu Xuanlong could only shrug his shoulders at Dongmei, and Dongmei also pouted dissatisfiedly, what is the eviction order, this is! (To be continued.) )
