Chapter 21 Staying in the Palace
The palace maids heard that Cheng was going to live in the palace for a few days, and they all smiled from ear to ear, mentioning Xia Yimeng, who was about to become the princess of Cheng, everyone had envy on their faces, this is really a blessing saved in their previous life, they are already very content to be able to look at King Cheng a few times a month, if they can accompany King Cheng every day to be King Cheng's pillow person, then let them die, they will go immediately without the slightest hesitation.
After dinner, Mu Linghan accompanied the Queen Mother for a walk in the Imperial Garden, the summer evening breeze was very comfortable on his face, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
"Before I knew it, you had grown so big, and I thought you were still a little kid snuggling up to me yesterday."
The Queen Mother began to sigh that time passed too quickly, and before she knew it, she had become the Queen Mother.
"It's because the queen mother is always relieved that her sons will feel that her sons are always ignorant children, and it has been ten years since her sons were crowned kings."
The emperor was very good to Mu Linghan, as soon as he ascended the throne, he made Mu Linghan a prince, there are many princes who live to be 20 years old and are only a county king, he has his own palace at the age of 14, and he has never suffered anything in this life.
He is also very popular in the palace, and the civil and military officials also love him very much, and he is also a good prince in the eyes of the people.
"After you marry Xia Yimeng, you must treat others well, she is still young and has a lot of ignorance, you don't have to be angry with her, you have to be more responsible, you are married and those side concubines in your house are different, General Xia holds most of the military power of the Yue Kingdom, if you have any accidents in the future, he can also protect you."
The Queen Mother said bitterly, she was actually very relieved that Mu Linghan was too kind-hearted, it was inevitable that she would be calculated, she was too old to protect him for a lifetime, and she was relieved that he could marry the daughter of General Xia's family.
"Don't worry, I understand what you said, Yi Meng is my princess, so I will naturally treat her well."
Mu Linghan had already considered these when he told the Queen Mother about Xia Yimeng that day, although the emperor treated him very well, but he still had concerns about him in his heart, his father and mother really loved him too much, if he was older when his father died, the throne might be his.
"The mourning family is tired and wants to go back to the palace to rest, you don't have to deliberately accompany the mourning family, if you want to go anywhere, go shopping by yourself."
The Queen Mother patted the back of Mu Linghan's hand, people can't talk to young people when they are old, and their bodies are not good, and they are tired after walking two steps.
After the queen mother left, Mu Linghan walked aimlessly in the imperial garden, the folding fan in his hand was not two fans, when he was a child, he often played with the royal brothers in the imperial garden, and now there are only a handful of princes who stay in Yuedu, most of them say that they have sealed the land and left Yuedu, only once a year during the Spring Festival, the imperial garden is less lively during the day, and the silence makes people feel a slight chill on their backs.
Mu Linghan walked to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, the lotus flowers in the lake were blooming, just like the concubines in this palace, staying in the most precious place for people to appreciate at the most beautiful time.
"The concubine asks for peace to the king."
A weak voice came from behind him, and Mu Linghan's body was startled.
A woman wearing a gold threaded sand skirt, a white jade peacock hairpin, white skin, and red lips stood quietly in the evening breeze, her hair floating slightly in the breeze.
"You're here, long time no see, Concubine Hui has been doing well lately."
Mu Linghan regained his calm expression, with a smile on his face
