Chapter 308: The Old Thing Repeats Itself
Three or four months have passed since Mo Qingyuan's defeat, and Xu Zigui and the others still haven't come up with any better ideas for Mo Leyuan to make Mo Leyuan punished and satisfy the emperor, and even the slightest delicate relationship between Liu Liang and Mo Chengyuan has not made any progress at all.
What happened during this period was not small, but it was not a big deal, but for the Weiguo Mansion, there was a major event, the emperor finally gave Xu Ziruo and Mo Chenyuan a marriage. is different from the previous life, Xu Ziruo in this life is no longer the side concubine of the fifth prince, but has become the fifth princess.
Mo Qingyuan was defeated, and Xu Ziyun, who was the concubine of the fourth prince, naturally followed him to Tailing. Therefore, some people in Shangjing City spread rumors that the emperor gave the young daughter of the Weiguo Mansion to the five princes, but in fact, he was comforting the Weiguo Gong, who had just lost a child. No matter how you guess, in fact, it is not a bad thing for the Weiguo Mansion, and the people in the capital guess like this, which can be regarded as knowing in their hearts that the Weiguo Mansion is prosperous, and for a while, everyone in the court and the central government even gave three points to the Xu family.
It's just that seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, in recent years, for one reason or another, the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve has become more and more bleak, although there are many concubines, but there are also fewer popularity, such as Mo Wenyuan's family and Mo Zhanyuan's family, who were defeated in previous years, and Mo Qingyuan's family, who was just arrested a few months ago.
After all, the Queen Mother is an elderly person, and during the festive season, she misses the past more and more with her grandchildren who are not in front of her. Looking at the fireworks in the sky, I couldn't stop wiping my eyes and wiping my tears. No matter how much Xu Zigui coaxed him, he couldn't hold it back.
Because there were not many people left, the emperor and the queen discussed not to make the queen mother sad. He authorized Mo Chengyuan to bring Liu Zijin with him. It was also Mo Leyuan's sharp eyes, and when he saw Liu Zijin, who had been sitting silently, he had an idea, beckoned to Liu Zijin with a smile, and said with a smile: "The little sixth sister-in-law is about to give birth." ”
According to Liu Zijin's identity as a concubine, in fact, Mo Leyuan can't be called her sixth sister-in-law. It's just that Mo Chengyuan now has only two people in the mansion, Ji Mingyue and Liu Zijin, although it is a palace banquet, it is rare to call it a family banquet, so no one can care about it so much.
Sure enough, I heard Mo Leyuan ask. The Queen Mother finally stopped her tears. Looking at Liu Zijin's eyes were also much gentler, the first child of the royal family was not saved, although it was a concubine, his identity was really a little humble. The Queen Mother is still looking forward to this child. Took Liu Zijin's hand. The tone of the loving reproach said: "The mourning family heard Xu Yizheng say that there is still nearly half a month? It's time to recuperate. If you don't come, the mourners won't blame you. ”
After that, he glared at Ji Mingyue with disgust. reproached: "You are a mother-in-law, Jin'er doesn't understand this, you let her come nonsense!" ”
Liu Zijin is Mo Chengyuan's favorite concubine, and the emperor personally named her to come, how can she stop her? The Queen Mother just said it in passing, but she didn't want to be remembered by Ji Mingyue, and hated the Queen Mother's partiality.
Ji Mingyue is competitive, but generally competitive people are more jealous, and Ji Mingyue herself is very dissatisfied that Liu Zijin was pregnant before her, and it was because of this child that she had to be carried into the Six Princes' Mansion and robbed her of the scenery at her wedding. Ji Mingyue had already seen that she wanted to get rid of that child, but she had been hindered by the need to be consistent with the outside world, so she didn't do it first.
Moreover, Ji Mingyue didn't like the position of the queen herself, and she didn't worry much about what threat the child would have to her child after she was born, so she endured it, but she didn't expect that now because of this child, she was blamed by the queen mother, who had always loved her, Ji Mingyue was a little unhappy in her heart.
Glancing at Liu Zijin lightly, Ji Mingyue first smiled and said with a smile: "This little prince is so partial to the imperial grandmother before he was born, if he is born, won't we have to stand aside?" ”
As he spoke, he took the arm of Xu Zigui, who was sitting beside him.
Now that Mo Qingyuan has an accident, Zheng Jiaying and the others must have followed Mo Qingyuan to Tailing, and their regular concubines will be left with Xu Zigui and Ji Mingyue. Now that Ji Mingyue wants to blame others for some things, she naturally wants to lean more on Xu Zigui's side.
Xu Zigui hooked the corners of his mouth invisibly, didn't show that there was anything wrong, and echoed Ji Mingyue with a smile: "Catch Ming'er, you also give birth to one for the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother will love you more, and then the palace and Le'er will also stand aside." ”
The Queen Mother was really amused by Xu Zigui, and when she saw that they had almost eaten enough, she smiled and said: "The mourning family knows that you young people don't want to accompany these old people, so let's go play." ”
The queen mother was accompanied by the mother concubine who did not participate in the seizure of the heir and became an idle prince, that is, the concubine as others call it. On weekdays, they follow their children to live outside the palace and enjoy Qingfu, so they only enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother during the New Year, talk about old things, and gossip together.
Pingjun Wang's mother Concubine Gu had a very good personal relationship with the Queen Mother earlier, and she was the first child in the Hao generation when she left her sister, and Concubine Gu was also physically tough, and she could bring her little granddaughter over to ask the Queen Mother for peace every fifteenth day of the new year.
Sister Li'er was well-behaved, and she didn't make trouble to find her mother, so she obediently sat in the arms of the Queen Mother, and occasionally scooped a spoonful of hawthorn soup for the Queen Mother with a spoon, and said in pieces: "The Queen Mother eats some of this to eliminate food." ”
Children's sounds are like the sound of bamboo, clean and crisp, not mixed with any other noise. Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt a lot more comfortable, hugged Sister Li'er and kissed her little face, and laughed: "This child is about to become a sperm." ”
After that, he handed over his sister to the grandmother behind him, and said with a smile: "Children are always tired with us, take her to the crown princess." ”
The grandmother should be, take the left sister down, the queen mother smiled and smiled with Concubine Gu: "Ping's daughter-in-law is a good one and will educate children." ”
After that, he paused and sighed: "It's a pity that there is no such well-behaved child in the palace to accompany the mourning family." ”
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Concubine Gu's fingers holding the soup spoon couldn't help but tighten. lowered his eyes and glanced at the soup in front of him, pretending not to understand the meaning of the queen mother's words, and only smiled: "The concubine in the mansion of the sixth prince is about to give birth, and the palace will be more lively at that time." ”
After that, he scooped a mouthful of yokan into his mouth, thinking that he would quickly change the topic.
Now there are no children in the palace, and the queen mother is rare to leave her sister. The sentence just now was testing herself, and it seems that the Queen Mother already has a plan to approach her sister to the palace for personal training.
In fact, for Sister Li, close to the palace, she was taught by the Queen Mother herself. For the child, it is a layer of gold plating on his body. Leaving my sister to grow up in the palace. In the future, the emperor and the prince will grow up, and there will always be more favoritism in his heart for the children who are big, and he will have the favor of the emperor and the prince. In the future, even if I leave my sister, I have suffered any grievances. There will also be two of the strongest people in the world to support her. Such a good thing. Concubine Gu was not unimpressed.
It's just that she can't bear it. Besides, if you really send your sister to the palace, the big and small things that will leave your sister in the future are not what those of you who are ancestors, mothers, fathers, and mothers can do.
The Queen Mother had originally thought about raising the child by her sister's side. can remember that his sister is young, and he can't bear to let his mother and son be separated at a young age, so he has endured it and didn't say anything. But now she listened to the emperor's meaning, saying that Mo Leyuan was not small, and it was time to refer to marriage. In addition, Mo Qingyuan was just dared to go to Tailing a few days ago, as if he was going to lose a lot of children for a while, the Queen Mother began to feel a little uncomfortable, so she thought about having more children by her side to accompany her.
But seeing that Concubine Gu didn't seem to be very willing, and the Queen Mother didn't want to mention anything, she didn't mention this matter anymore, but this matter was like a brand in the Queen Mother's heart, and she always wanted to take Sister Li'er into the palace to live for a while.
Let's not talk about this, just say that Princess Pingjun, who was gossiping in the pavilion, did not have a sense of crisis about separating mother and daughter now, and joked with Xu Zigui with a smile: "After the New Year, the mother will be in time, have you ever thought about when to have a child?" ”
After that, he covered his mouth and smiled: "The concubine looks at the Queen Mother and likes children very much, especially the East Palace Sister-in-law, I think the Queen Mother should like it the most." ”
Xu Zigui glanced at Princess Pingjun with a smile, and said with a smile: "Just your mouth is narrow, begging for a beating." ”
As he spoke, he also pointed at the forehead of Princess Pingjun with his index finger, and was about to say something more, but suddenly found that the shadows of a few people were missing from the pavilion, Xu Zigui frowned slightly, looked at Princess Pingjun, frowned and asked, "What about Anyang?" Did you just see where Anyang went? ”
As soon as Xu Zigui said this, Princess Pingjun looked around differently, frowned, and said, "Hasn't the eldest princess been here all along?" Is it difficult to go to the toilet? ”
"Maybe it'......"
Xu Zigui frowned, still not very relieved, and wanted to tell Yuerong to look for it, but after seeing Ji Mingyue with his spare eyes, he changed his mind, glanced at Lan Xiang on the side, and asked her to secretly ventilate with Yuerong when Ji Mingyue was unprepared, and let her go to find Mo Leyuan.
After all, Yoo Zijin is not here either...... That's not a good sign.
If Mo Leyuan really went to the toilet, he would definitely talk to himself, besides, Mo Leyuan had always gossiped with him by his side, why couldn't he find anyone between two sentences?
Even if you leave, there should be a voice, right, how can it be so quiet?
Xu Zigui frowned slightly, and glanced at Ji Mingyue quietly, but saw that Ji Mingyue was drinking tea with a calm expression, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But think about it, Ji Mingyue is so cunning, how could she show her mood on her face. Lowering his eyes, Xu Zigui thought for a while, but he couldn't sit still.
Last time, Zidai and Red Sleeves were also taken away by others quietly like this, and they were already dying when they were found, and now Mo Leyuan is gone, and there are some coincidences with what happened last time, Xu Zigui has to worry, but the culprit of the last time is in front of him, since he came to the pavilion, Xu Zigui has been observing Ji Mingyue, and he has not seen her do anything out of the ordinary, and occasionally interjected a few words when they spoke, but he didn't show anything inappropriate.
And at this time, Liu Zijin and Mo Leyuan disappeared together, if it wasn't a coincidence, they were used by someone with a heart.
Princess Pingjun seemed to see Xu Zigui's uneasiness, and also knew that the relationship between the sixth princess and the crown princess was hostile because of the relationship between her husband and the princess, so some things should not be publicized, so she just said in a timely manner: "Speaking of going to the toilet, the concubine has some feelings, but this dark sky looks really scary, so the mother will be kind to accompany the concubine over." ”
Xu Zigui knew that this was Princess Pingjun who saw her uneasiness, and was giving herself a chance to find out, so she nodded to Princess Pingjun quietly, with some imperceptible thanks in her eyes, but she said with a smile: "You, say that you are bold, you don't even dare to go to the toilet, if you say that you are timid, even the palace dares to call." I really don't know what to say about you. ”
Princess Pingjun took Xu Zigui's arm and said with a smile: "What Niangniang said, okay, okay, the concubine admits it, the concubine has been afraid of the dark since she was a child, these maids are always not as down-to-earth as the concubine Niangniang, so Niangniang will be kind to accompany the concubine." ”
Xu Zigui smiled and poked Princess Pingjun's forehead with his index finger, nodded with a smile, and said, "There's really no way to take you, let's go." ”
As he spoke, he got up first, grabbed the hand that was boasting on his arm, and said with a smile: "This palace will accompany you." ”
After that, he took Princess Pingjun's hand and walked out of the pavilion. Xu Zigui exhaled at this time, patted Princess Pingjun's hand, and sighed: "This time you helped the palace, this friendship is remembered by the palace, if there is anything in the future, just come to the palace, what the palace can do, will definitely do it for you." ”
Princess Pingjun shook her head with a smile, and said with a smile: "What Niangniang said is to see the outside, this is what the concubine should do." ”
Xu Zigui patted Princess Pingjun's hand, but he didn't speak again, looked to the side, and sure enough, Yuexi didn't know when he arrived at his side. Xu Zigui nodded at Yuexi and asked, "Is there any news of Anyang in Yuerong?" ”
Yuexi shook her head: "Back to Niangniang, no." ”
After a pause, he said, "But the slave has made a discovery......
As he spoke, he leaned over to Xu Zigui's ear and whispered a few words. At the same time, in addition to Ji Mingyue, there were only some princes and princesses left, or some princesses of the county. Ji Mingyue shook the teacup in her hand a few times, looked at the waves of the tea inside because of the shaking, hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and said lightly to the secret words on the side
"Princess Anyang and the Liu family have been out for a while, especially the Liu family, seeing that they are about to give birth, can there be any problems with this child...... You go to the queen mother's place and tell the queen mother, this night the lights are blind, it is better to send a few people to find it. ”
After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and in the eyes of the secret words, he shuddered for no reason. (To be continued.) )
