On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the princes and grandsons and the Liu clan all rushed to the palace.

Mixed in with so many people, the Chang sisters are not conspicuous.

After successfully entering the palace, the two took the three little highnesses and went directly to the palace of the concubine.

Concubine Xian was naturally very happy to see her grandson, and asked them a few words one by one before turning her attention to the Chang sisters.

After carefully looking at the two sisters, Concubine Xian smiled: "In the past, the two of you didn't stand together, but I don't think so." When I saw you standing next to each other today, I really realized that you two points were similar. ”

Chang Muzhi smiled: "My daughter-in-law and Runzhi are sisters, how can they not be like that?" The mother concubine said, what are the two points that the daughter-in-law is similar to Runzhi? ”

The concubine said: "The eyebrows and eyes are quite similar, and he looks like a gentle and good person." ”

Chang Muzhi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"You monkey, I am a boaster, and I will praise the little nine daughters-in-law." Concubine Xian scolded with a smile, looked at Chang Runzhi and asked her, "It's been almost a month since the little ninth daughter-in-law passed the door, can she adapt to life in the prince's mansion?" ”

Chang Runzhi was a little sleepy, and when he heard the concubine's question, he hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, my daughter-in-law is quite adaptable in the prince's mansion." ”

The concubine was very useful to Chang Runzhi calling herself a "daughter-in-law" in front of her, and Chang Runzhi was also more gentle: "Xiao Jiu treats you very well, right?" The kid came to me and said that he had a girl he liked very much, and he said that you were very good, and wanted to marry you, so he begged to go to the concubine Niangniang......"

Chang Runzhi was embarrassed on his face, but he was happy and shy in his heart.

She knew about it, but she couldn't get any more details. At this time, the concubine said it in front of her, and she said it so specifically, Chang Runzhi was naturally embarrassed.

Speaking of this, Concubine Xian also muttered a little: "Speaking of which, I don't know what reason Xiao Jiu used to persuade the concubine to let the concubine help him speak for His Majesty." Otherwise, your marriage is estimated to be grinding. ”

Chang Runzhi was stunned, and the concubine over there said this and threw it away, and turned to tease the three precious grandsons.

After talking to the three grandsons for a while, the concubine turned to Chang Muzhi: "Xiao Wu came back from Yanzhou a while ago, right?" ”

Chang Muzhi replied vaguely, and the concubine said, "Why haven't the two of them come over yet?" Your Majesty left them to speak? ”

Before Chang Muzhi could answer, the concubine said to herself: "Recently, Your Majesty has been a lot heavier on Xiao Wuqi...... Hey, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, it's a big year today, Your Majesty can't let go of state affairs, and Xiao Wu will only come back for a day or two, and he won't let him rest for a while. ”

Although she complained, the smile on her face showed her pride.

Also, her son is valued by the emperor, and as a palace concubine, of course she is happy.

Chang Runzhi sighed secretly in his heart, and Yu Guang saw Chang Muzhi hanging his head slightly.

Chang Muzhi said softly: "Mother, the prince hasn't come back yet......"

"What?" Concubine Xian's eyes widened slightly, and Chang Muzhi repeated: "The prince hasn't come back yet." ”

"Why didn't you come back?" The concubine suddenly became anxious, and the speed of her speech couldn't help but speed up: "Didn't you come to a letter saying that you can get to Beijing on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month?" ”

Chang Muzhi pursed his lips and said, "It's because the prince said that he would arrive in Beijing on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and he hasn't seen anyone else to this day, so he ......."

Concubine Xian stood up suddenly: "Then there must be something wrong on the road!" Can you send someone to find it? No, I have to say ...... to Your Majesty."

The concubine hurriedly called the palace maid around her, Chang Muzhi hurriedly persuaded her, and said: "Mother, the prince doesn't know what the situation is, today's New Year, can't you move the people because of the prince's affairs...... The ninth brother had already gone out of Beijing yesterday to look for it along the way, and the daughter-in-law also sent someone to go, and she would know it as soon as there was news, so the mother didn't have to worry too much. ”

When the concubine heard that Liu Tong had gone to find it, she saw that Chang Muzhi's expression was calm and the arrangements were proper, so she came back a little wisely.

She took a deep breath and nodded involuntarily, "That's right, it's not clear what happened...... In this year, if you can't have a good year because of Xiao Wu's affairs, and everyone is unhappy, Your Majesty will definitely have an opinion on Xiao Wu......"

Chang Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "When the daughter-in-law entered the palace, she wrote a leave note with Runzhi, explaining carefully that the prince and Xiao Jiu could not come to participate in today's palace banquet. Father's side should already know by this time. ”

The concubine looked at Chang Runzhi, Chang Runzhi nodded lightly, and comforted softly: "Niangniang don't need to panic, the prince must be fine." ”

"You're right, Xiao Wu will be fine." The concubine nodded and said, "Let's deal with this one first......

The concubine turned around and went to talk to the three grandsons, Chang Muzhi watched from the side, and said a few words from time to time.

But Chang Runzhi looked at it, and they were all a little absent-minded.

In fact, Chang Runzhi didn't understand a little, if King Rui didn't have any major incidents, he could make up a reason to come back and tell Concubine Rui and Princess Rui, saying that he couldn't come back for the time being if something was delayed. It's better to calm their hearts like this than to have unknown news.

It is impossible for Ruiwang not to think of this.

And now he would rather let Concubine Xian and Princess Rui not get news of him, most likely not to let them know about his situation, or to make them think that his whereabouts are unknown.

But why?

Chang Runzhi only felt that this matter might be a little complicated, and maybe there was any conspiracy in it......

After not sleeping well all night, and thinking about this kind of brain-consuming question, Chang Runzhi only felt that his whole head was dizzy.

Unconsciously, she actually fell asleep with her cheeks on her back.

Chang Muzhi turned his head to see it, and gently woke her up: "Runzhi, go and squint on the couch for a while." ”

Chang Runzhi nodded, was helped by Yao Huang and transferred to the couch, and fell asleep again after lying on his side for a while.

When I woke up again, it was already getting dark.

Chang Muzhi saw that she was awake, and hurriedly said: "I was saying that I was going to call you, hurry up and wash up, let's go to Linde Palace." ”

Chang Runzhi rinsed his face according to his words, woke up, and went to the concubine to confess again.

Concubine Xian was a little distressed and said, "I was worried about Xiao Jiu yesterday, so I didn't sleep, okay?" I've wronged you. ”

After all, it was because of his son that Liu Tong would go out of Beijing, and when the concubine faced Chang Run, she felt a little guilty.

"The mother has tormented her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has no grievances." Chang Runzhi said with a smile: "It's just that I knew I was going to enter the palace yesterday, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." ”

The concubine was immediately amused: "Nonsense." ”

"Really." Chang Runzhi made a serious statement: "Daughter-in-law, this is the third time to enter the palace!" It is said that once it is born and twice cooked, this third time should always be familiar with the road, right? But my daughter-in-law is nervous, but she worries me. ”

Of course, Concubine Xian didn't believe what she said, but seeing Chang Runzhi changing the topic like this to enliven the atmosphere, Concubine Xian also understood her affection in her heart.

"The hour is almost up, let's go to the Lin De Palace. It's not good to go early, it's not good to go late, and this is about the time when the most people go, so as not to attract attention. The concubine said. (To be continued.) )
