Chapter 21: The Night is Deep
87_87823The clear moonlight as water illuminates the earth as if it were day, and Nanlin Mufu is more and more solemn, mysterious and majestic under the white moonlight. Mu Chenjun stepped on the moonlight, walked through the winding corridor, and came to the back garden.
In the hall where Princess Jing of Houyuan lived, the lights illuminated the hall brightly, and a furnace of incense was lightly curling, and the fragrance of the room was swirling. Princess Jing was chanting Buddha in the side hall of the Buddha, and the maid Cuizhu who was guarding the door of the main hall saw her son-in-law Junyi from a distance, and the fluttering figure came slowly in the direction of her side.
She walked lightly in her thoughts, lifted her skirt and ran into the Buddhist hall lightly, squatted down beside Princess Jing who was concentrating on chanting with her back straight, and whispered close to Princess Jing's ear with thin lips: "Princess, the young master is here." ”
Mrs. Jing, who was kneeling on the futon, knocked on the hand of the wooden fish and paused, and the sound stopped abruptly, this child was really concerned about himself, and he never stopped in the morning and province, even when he came back to worship his ancestors, he was busy and dizzy for a few days, and he also came to visit him every three or five days. Meiyu showed a faint joy, slowly opened his clear eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Cuizhu hurriedly helped Princess Jing up, and several maids who were waiting on the side stepped forward one after another, supporting Princess Jing's support and tidying up the Buddha Hall.
"Mother." As soon as Princess Jing stepped into the hall, she heard Mu Chenjun's gentle and deep voice.
Princess Jing smiled, full of joy, and her steps couldn't help but speed up: "Chen'er, didn't you say that your mother will be busy with your going in the future, and this daily dim morning province can be avoided." ”
While speaking, Princess Jing has come to the hall, the bright lights illuminate Mu Chenjun's beautiful face more and more clearly, Princess Jing looked at Mu Chenjun fixedly, she didn't see her for a day, and she always felt that her son seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently. couldn't help feeling distressed, pushed away the maid's support with both hands, walked like an arrow off the string, and quickly came to Mu Chenjun, looked left and right, slightly reproached, and said distressedly.
"Chen'er, you see that you have lost weight, and it is no big deal to be a mother. You don't have to worry, it's really hard for you to come back to worship your ancestors recently, you should go back to your room early to rest. ”
"Mother, the child can't rest assured, come and see you." Mu Chenjun held Princess Jing's hands, pulled her to the chair and sat down, and stood in front of her mother with great concern: "Mother, it's you." The body has not fully recovered, so you should rest a lot and not work too hard. ”
"Chen'er, for my mother's body and bones, for my mother to know for herself, you can rest assured, go and finish these things first, we can go back to Beijing as soon as possible." Princess Jing stroked Mu Chenjun's silky black hair, and spoke softly, revealing her motherly appearance. Princess Mu has been doted on by her parents since she was a child, protected by her brother, and has hardly left the capital. But since marrying into the Mu family, she has to follow her husband and son home every year to worship her ancestors. When I was young, I thought it was a novelty, but now that I am older, my husband has left me, and my son is not by my side all day long. When I was alone, I especially missed my mother, my royal brother, and my daughters who had been married.
So, every time she saw Mu Chenjun, she would urge him to hurry up and get things done and return to Beijing as soon as possible, so that she would not be bored and panicked, and she would not feel that there was no hope all day long.
"Mother, the matter on the child's side is almost done, and we can leave for Beijing in a few days." Of course, Mu Chenjun knew Princess Jing's thoughts in his heart, although there were many officials in Nanlin who came to visit, his mother avoided them. He knew that his mother was very tired of seeing outsiders, and she still liked to be in the capital, and she went into the palace every day to accompany the imperial grandmother to talk about herself.
"Really? It was done so quickly. Princess Jing's eyes lit up, and she looked at Mu Chenjun incredulously, as if she had misheard.
"That's right. Mother, you don't have to worry about other things, you can take care of your body. Mu Chenjun said softly to Princess Jing while elegantly taking out the "Women's Music Pill" from his cuffs.
He put the "Women's Music Pill" in the palm of Princess Jing's hand, stared straight at his mother with his eyes, and asked softly: "Mother, you take this medicine on time every day." I heard that eating it can increase longevity year after year, and the body is disease-free and painless. ”
Mu Chenjun thought of the appearance of his subordinates' reports, and thought of the expressions of the people of Yancheng praising Yan Xi, Meiyu unconsciously showed joy, forgot where he was for a while, and sincerely told Princess Jing what others said word for word.
Princess Jing noticed the change in Mu Chenjun's face, and she was both curious and displeased, and said dissatisfiedly: "Chen'er, when did you also believe in the Jianghu Warlock, and use these things to fool your mother." ”
Mu Chenjun immediately reflected, he knew that his mother wanted to be crooked, thinking that he was the same as other princes and grandsons, who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and listened to the words of those Taoist elders on the rivers and lakes. Many famous nobles in the capital listened to the slander of the Taoist priests, and took pills behind their backs, saying that they could live forever if they took it. Mother thought that he was in the same league with them, and felt wronged in her heart, so she couldn't help but explain immediately: "Mother, you are wrong. This medicine is specially developed for women made by Yan Xi, and this medicine has been sought after by everyone in Iwacheng, and many women are full of praise when they take it. Child, just ask your subordinates to buy you some to use. ”
"Oh, it's the little girl who saved the life of this palace, and she still has this?" Princess Jing raised her thin eyebrows slightly, her eyes looked at Mu Chenjun, and asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Mu Chenjun nodded firmly, and there was no trace of deception on his beautiful face. Princess Jing couldn't see the clue on Mu Chenjun's face, and she couldn't help but think that Yan Xi could save her, a dying person, and the medicine she made should not be a lie, so she was relieved. She gently pulled out the lid of the medicine bottle, took the pill in her hand and looked at it carefully and carefully, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she couldn't help but sit still, and asked excitedly: "Chen'er, you tell me in detail, what is the effect of this medicine?" ”
"The guards inquired attentively, and it is said that this pill can invigorate blood and regulate menstruation, relieve pain, and treat menstrual blood." Mu Chenjun truthfully relayed the words that his subordinates had reported to him to his mother, and his eyes looked at Princess Jing fixedly, exuding a color of confirmation and trust.
Princess Jing had just flashed a figure in her mind, and this person was her companion. But the fate of this boudoir friend was very bad, she grew up to marry the royal brother, and for a while, she became a concubine, and once accidentally got menstrual blood disease. At first, it was okay, the royal brother was okay with her, and he didn't dislike her. But there are more and more women in the harem, her illness has been cured for many years and she has never recovered, and over time her personality has become withdrawn, and she has fallen out of favor for a while, and she is trapped in the splendid palace every day and weeps silently, Gu Ying feels sorry for herself.
Princess Jing thought of her friend in her boudoir, her expression was gloomy, and her eyes were a little confused. However, after a moment, she regained her natural expression, and said with a smile: "I think, I don't need this medicine for the time being, there is someone who can really use this medicine." ”
Mu Chenjun knew in his heart that his mother was thinking about her best friend, and it was not wrong to give this medicine to Xiang Guifei, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a gentle smile like a spring breeze: "Yiqiē is my mother." ”。
