"It's cold today, I wonder if my mother can give my sister a cup of hot tea to warm up?" Mu Qinghong had an incomprehensible smile on her red lips, and that smile lined her lazy posture and beautiful face, which somehow made Shen Zhen feel a strange taste.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Shen Zhen's heart. She has no contact with Concubine Chen, and she doesn't know much about this beautiful woman, but since the other party has opened her mouth, there is no reason to turn people away. Shen Zhen thought about it, smiled far-fetchedly, and said, "I was negligent, Concubine Chen, please." ”
Mu Qing followed Shen Zhen's mother and son into the Yiqian Palace, the layout and furnishings in the palace were extremely simple, except for a few calligraphy and paintings, there was no valuable gold, silver and jade in the house. To put it mildly, even the bedroom of the favored palace maid is more elaborately furnished than here. On the wooden couch chair, the strong smell of incense and candles emanating from the room made her frown, is it really as Liang Xi said, Shen Zhen is really dedicated to eating fast and reciting Buddha?
Liang Xi ran out of the palace because he stole away, so Shen Zhen punished him to immediately go to the study to copy the Tao Te Ching, although Liang Xi was extremely reluctant, but he still accepted the punishment obediently. Mu Qing covered his mouth and smiled, and ordered Zhu Yu on the side to wait outside the house. Shen Zhen is also an extremely smart person, seeing that Mu Qing deliberately sent the maids around her, she also deliberately separated everyone in the house. "You go get some snacks for Concubine Chen."
Mu Qing took a sip of hot tea, and the slightly hot tea made her body feel much warmer and more comfortable, and her face was not as pale as just now. Mu Qing lowered his eyes and smiled, and couldn't help but think in his heart: This Shen Zhen is really the same as before, although her every move is not obvious, but she has a delicate heart.
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Sister, although this Yiqian Palace is simple and chic, but after all, my sister has a noble status, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince is even more golden and jade, such a decoration is inevitably too widowed, it is better to let the emperor add some another day..."
"No, you don't. Something outside the body, too much is useless. Shen Hao coldly interrupted Mu Qing's words.
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. "I didn't expect that there would be a person like my sister in the palace who saw through the world, which really made my sister ashamed."
Shen Hao deliberately softened her tone and said, "Concubine Chen is overrated. Sister, you are now deeply favored, you can be described as a standout, so naturally you don't look down on me here. ”
"How can the Israeli-acolyte last long?" Mu Qing said indifferently, "My sister is not as blessed as my sister, not only has children, but also the eldest son of the emperor, and her future is limitless!" ”
Speaking of her son Liang Xi, Shen Zhen's face showed the tenderness of a loving mother, and she said softly: "Sister, you are still young, you will have your own children." ”
Mu Qing lowered his head and smiled, noncommittal. "Although His Royal Highness the eldest prince is the eldest son and has a noble status, don't forget my sister. In the palace, the son is also expensive! ”
Shen Zhen's eyes condensed, and when she saw that the other party finally showed her fox tail, sure enough, Concubine Chen deliberately mentioned that she wanted to sit in her palace today, and her purpose was Liang Xi. Shen Zhen politely refused: "The gains and losses of the noble and the lowly are all in the will of heaven, if you are too forceful, you will only bring harm and disaster to yourself and the people around you." ”
Mu Qing stared deeply at the cold woman in front of him, which made Mu Qing suddenly have an illusion that Shen Zhen was still the same Shen Zhen as before, maybe she had never changed. Mu Please took another sip of tea, forced himself to suppress this strange feeling in his heart, and said slowly: "Sister's heart is really wide enough." But even if my sister sees through the red dust, can you guarantee that His Royal Highness the Great Prince will be able to be so clean in the future? Who does not aspire to supreme power? Who doesn't want to hold the world? Instead of letting His Highness be hindered in the future, why didn't my sister make plans early and pave the way for His Highness in the future? ”
Shen Zhen had a calm face and said coldly: "Now that the emperor is in the prime of life, my sister knows that your words are really rebellious!" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a big rebellion, or if you take precautions, does my sister want to go to the emperor to sue me?" Mu Qing had no fear on her face, and seeing that Shen Hao was silent, she said again, "Besides, the queen's heart is not as wide as that of her sister, how does the queen treat your mother and son on weekdays, my sister and I see it in my eyes." Now that Her Highness is still young, she can't tolerate you like this, won't she want to get worse in the future? ”
Mu Qing's words hit Shen Zhen's heart like a heavy punch, and she said obscurely: "I have no intention of joining those open and secret battles in the palace, and I don't want Xi'er to wade into this muddy water in the future, as a mother, I just selfishly hope that my child can grow up healthy and stable." ”
"As long as His Highness bears the title of the emperor's eldest son on his head, he will never be able to escape from the poisonous clutches of others' calculations and murders!" Mu Qinggege laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke, "It's better to take the initiative than to be passive everywhere." My sister is still quite favored by the emperor now, but there is no dragon descendant, and although you are neglected, sister, you have the bargaining chip of His Royal Highness the Great Prince behind you. ”
Mu Qing's words seemed to be inciting and demagoguery, and they were particularly touching in Shen Zhen's ears. It's not that she doesn't know what kind of wishful thinking Concubine Chen has in her heart, with Rong Pet and the assistance of her mother and son, it can be said that she is like a tiger with wings. But Concubine Chen's words are not entirely unreasonable, if the queen has a child in the future, then she and Xi'er will definitely become a thorn in the side of the queen and Huo Pei'an. But once she formed an alliance with Concubine Chen, it showed that she was an enemy of the queen, and even caused party disputes in the future, Shen Zhen did not dare to gamble, and she did not dare to gamble with her son's safety. Shen Zhen pondered for a moment, and finally said with a pleading look: "I don't expect Xi'er to do much, even if she is just an idle prince in the future, at least she can live this life in peace." "I also hope that Concubine Chen's sister can let my mother and son go, don't let Xi'er get involved in the right and wrong in the palace, and give us a quiet place to live in peace."
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't think he was angry, and he smiled very evilly. "Look at what my sister said, as if my sister threatened and intimidated you. My sister is just mentioning a proposal, and my sister doesn't adopt it. ”
Mu Qing got up slowly, looked around the room, and finally locked his eyes on the table covered with calligraphy and paintings. Mu Qing walked to the table and saw that the table full of drawing paper was painted with magpie birds, with different forms and lifelike. Under the paper full of magpies, Mu Qing also vaguely saw an ink painting of a room, which was also the only landscape painting on the table. The house at the top of the painting is built on the water, the willow branches on the shore are swaying, and the whole painting is scattered with dotted flower petals, like a fairyland on earth. Mu Qing is very familiar with the house in the painting, because it is a small pavilion in her father's hometown, a house built on the water, and a place that carries her good memories.
