Chapter 186: Entering the Palace
King Huai was stunned for a moment, pulled Mo Xinlan to sit down, and helped her loose bun:
"Lan'er, you are too careful, this king only treats her as a slave, she is a distant relative of the former princess, because she was young and vigorous, she went the wrong way and was deceived, it was the princess who took pity on her, so she asked someone to save the Chen family who wanted to die."
Mo Xinlan leaned on King Huai's arms, quietly listening to each other's heartbeats, King Huai was able to tell the truth to himself and prove his importance.
"The princess saw that the Chen family was careful and loved the prince, so she let her serve by the prince's side. Later, the princess died, and she has been taking care of the son. If Lan'er doesn't like her well, just send her away. ”
"Then you don't have to send her away."
After all, it was the person left by the first princess, Mo Xinlan sent the Chen family away as soon as she entered the door, which would cause a lot of criticism, and the prince would be used by the Chen family to make trouble again, and it would definitely be herself.
Adults can't deal with children.
Mo Xinlan softened her body, like a pool of spring water in the arms of King Huai, "The prince is prejudiced against the concubine, and it is not strange to rely too much on the prince, and it is not strange that anyone will accept the stepmother immediately, when my father continued the string, I was only more than a year old, not a trivial matter, and then my father's outer room only threw me and my brother in the imperial capital, not to hide it from the prince, I care, I always think about whether it is not pleasing to my father." ”
"Lan'er."
King Huai hugged the wife in his arms, and he also felt a little empathy, he didn't care about it, but it has always been a pain in his heart to be passed out by the prince, although he may not be doing well if he stays with the prince.
Because of this, he connived at his son's nonsense tonight.
"After my father returned to Beijing, I have always liked him and tried every possible way to help my father, but how can I eliminate the rustiness of more than ten years? My father loves the ninth sister who is raised by his side even more, and it is wrong for me to do more. ”
With tears in her eyes, Mo Xinlan rubbed King Huai's chest, "My family relationship has always been very weak, the ninth sister is good at everything, what I do wrong, I am very different from the ninth sister." My father and I can only do this, even if I get married today, my father only lets the ninth sister come to watch the ceremony, he is not too busy to get out, he is ...... Insult me. ”
"You cried so much that the king's heart melted."
King Huai supported Mo Xinlan's back, quite emotional, and firmly wanted to stay by Mo Xinlan's side, his son had to have a limit to messing around, fragile, and the strong Lan'er was more worthy of him to stay.
"Lord Wang, I don't want the prince to feel disgusted by you, that is, the people around the prince are not good, and the prince longs for you, it's always right."
Mo Xinlan raised her head, there were crystal tears on her eyelashes, King Huai gently and thoughtfully lowered her head to allow tears, a touch of saltiness, a touch of bitterness, "Lan'er doesn't need to say anything, this king will not leave you tonight." ”
"Lord ......"
"The prince has someone to take care of, and Lan'er needs this king even more."
King Huai raised Mo Xinlan's jaw, "Could it be that Lan'er doesn't want this king?" ”
With a sigh, Mo Xinlan got into the arms of King Huai and exhaled like an orchid, "The concubine can't do without the prince." ”
King Huai overwhelmed Mo Xinlan, the red curtain fell, and after a while, there was the sound of undressing, and then a shallow moan came out, accompanied by the sound of heavy and urgent man's breathing.
The prince who was waiting for the king was destined to be sad, and Chen put his arm around the prince's shoulder, "Listen to me, be well-behaved when Ming'er goes to see the princess, don't pester the prince like today." ”
"No, I don't want to bow my head to her, my father is my mother's, what is she? It's just Mo Houye's abandoned daughter. ”
"Who told you that?" Chen's eyes rolled, "The prince can't believe the rumors outside, Mo Hou Ye is proud of his career and is valued by the emperor, and his beloved daughter Mo Ajiu is used as a palm bead by the eldest princess, once they help the princess, it is far from being something that the prince can contend with." ”
"Nurse, you don't understand, Mo Hou Ye will never care about her anymore. A few days ago, I went into the palace to meet the queen's mother, and I heard from the people around the mother, Mo Hou Ye was almost blinded by her, she went to Jiangnan and didn't even enter the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and stayed in Jiangnan for more than a year, Mo Hou Ye didn't see her. ”
Wang Shizi Huai was very honest with the Chen family, "Anyway, no one will help her, even the queen doesn't look down on her, so my father treats her as a treasure now, and after getting along for a long time, my father will be like Mo Hou Ye and them, and he will look down on her." ”
Chen asked: "The queen doesn't want her?" Didn't you say that the queen thought highly of her? ”
"You said it was before." Shizi smirked, "I must pierce her true face in front of my father." ”
"But what if the prince still loves her...... Shizi, you were brought up by me, you are not your own child but you seem to be your own child, you can't make a mistake, the princess is young and has a good body, and the prince is now hurting her like a baby, and she will be pregnant in the future and have a biological son. ”
Chen's eyes were full of worry, "Once you make the prince unhappy, she is born pleasing, I don't want the son to be suppressed by others." ”
"I tell you quietly, don't tell anyone else." Shizi lowered his voice and said, "She won't be born in at least five years." ”
"What?"
"This is what the queen mother said to the concubine, and I happened to hear it when I was in the palace."
Chen nodded with satisfaction, five years later, the son of the world will also be fourteen, and he has grown up, and King Huai is born to the princess, and it is not good to shake the position of the prince lightly.
Five years of hard work is enough to do a lot of things, and it is uncertain whether Mo Xinlan will still be favored after five years.
Chen said: "When you meet the salute for a while, it is best for the prince to ask for sin. ”
"Huh? Plead guilty to her? ”
"No, it's the prince." Chen said softly: "The side concubine also has a son, she has a fight with the princess, she may not be dedicated to helping the son, the son's biological mother has a great kindness to me, and entrusted the son to me before she died, I can't let the son be wronged." ”
"The prince is a soft-hearted, last night he must have been tripped by the princess with fox means, today the prince will ask for the guilt first, the prince will cherish the prince, you and the prince are the father and son of the in-laws, the closest people, in the future, the prince will have conflicts with the princess, the prince will not be completely biased towards the princess like last night, and then the princess will not be able to keep the princess no matter how much fox means as before."
"Hmm."
Shizi nodded, the bitter meat trick still works.
Early in the morning, Mo Xinlan was awake in King Huai's arms, raised her hand and gently stroked King Huai's eyebrows, affectionate, and replied shyly, how could King Huai not know?
grabbed her wrist and smiled hoarsely: "Lan'er thinks about it again?" ”
"Lord Wang!" Mo Xinlan was ashamed and annoyed, and wanted to flirt with one or two.
The cold voice of the nurturing grandmother who came over came from the door, "It's time for the princess to get up." ”
The atmosphere was completely ruined, and Mo Xinlan gently dragged King Huai, "The queen mother sent it, and the mother is also good for us." ”
King Huai unwillingly propped up his arms and opened the curtain with his back to Mo Xinlan, "Come in and serve." ”
Mo Xinlan's eyes were slightly dim, it was clear that King Huai was right to do this, and he faintly hoped that King Huai could ruthlessly cut the face of his grandmother for himself.
As soon as Qiē was cleaned up, King Huai accompanied Mo Xinlan to sit in the living room of the main house.
"Lord Wang, Lord Shi is kneeling outside."
"Let him in." King Huai's instinctive displeasure in his heart, he can still be ignorant when he made trouble once yesterday, but if he makes trouble again today, he may not give face to the son.
King Huai's son quickly walked in, bowed down and said, "My son was not careful last night, and I hope my father will forgive me." ”
Then he knelt respectfully in front of Mo Xinlan, completely without yesterday's perverse willfulness, "Mother Concubine An." ”
King Huai nodded with relief, but Mo Xinlan's heart sank to the bottom, and subconsciously found the Chen family who bowed her head and stood silently behind the prince, did she give the prince an idea?
"Mother, yesterday my son had a headache and was rude, I implore you to be tolerant of your son's young age."
"Shizi Yan zhòng."
Mo Xinlan was as disgusting as swallowing a fly, and she had to maintain generosity in front of her stepson and King Huai, and lovingly helped her son, "Is your body okay?" ”
Shizi dodged Mo Xinlan's hand, and his tone was still respectful, "The imperial doctor said that he still has to recuperate for two days." ”
Mo Xinlan hid her embarrassment, "If you lack anything, just tell me." ”
"Chen, you are attentive to the prince."
"Yes, Princess."
Chen didn't raise his head, but he showed the most feminine side, and the prince stood back to Chen's side with affection and trust.
Mo Xinlan felt a faint sadness in her heart, was she also calculating her stepmother like the son of the world?
One day, she will let Shizi understand who is the one who loves him the most.
She is different from the calculating Chen.
King Huai was very satisfied with the prince's apology today, and he was also satisfied with Mo Xinlan, and he couldn't see the undercurrent contained in it.
Then the ceremony was very smooth, the two side concubines, Zhang's and Ou's, were very respectful to Mo Xinlan, and the wives and concubines seemed to be very harmonious.
When Mo Xinlan saw King Huai's children with her own eyes, it was difficult to maintain her dignity, what she saw with her own eyes touched Mo Xinlan more than she heard, she had just turned eighteen years old and was already the stepmother of more than ten children?!
Even if she had been prepared, when she saw a group of children, they were not born by herself, and there was an indescribable feeling.
"Uncomfortable?" King Huai asked softly.
Mo Xinlan shook her head, her strange appearance was naturally not good for King Huai, "I'm a little tired." ”
King Huai smiled proudly, which could make the woman feel tired and prove that he was still strong, "You go and rest first." ”
"No, I'll go to the palace to thank Niangniang in a while." Mo Xinlan glanced at the two side concubines and the five or six concubines around her, "You can't let Niangniang wait too long." ”
After Mo Xinlan entered, only the main concubine could enter the palace, and even if the queen summoned the side concubine in the future, she would not be able to go beyond her.
She now has to learn how to compete for favor, how to suppress the two side concubines, and raise a group of children at the same time...... originally thought that as long as he was sincere to his stepson, he would be able to exchange for sincerity, but yesterday's reflection of the son of the world was no less than a slap in the face for Mo Xinlan.
Wanting to be close to the son of the world like a mother and daughter is not something that can be done lightly.
What's more, King Huai still has many children.
******
When Mo Xinlan and King Huai packed up and entered the palace to pay a visit, the queen asked them to wait.
The princess's court dress is luxurious and dignified, and the princess's phoenix crown on her head is very heavy, Mo Xinlan is slightly uncomfortable after standing for a long time, after all, she was newly married yesterday, and there were a lot of troubles, and she seemed to be out of energy.
"Who did the emperor and Niangniang summon?"
"If you want to return to the princess, it is His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and there are ...... and Mo Xinyi, the daughter of Mo Houye. ”
Ah Jiu?!
Mo Xinlan opened her mouth in surprise and dazedness, how could it be Ah Jiu?
There was a hearty laugh from Emperor Shenwu in the main hall, Mo Xinlan felt even more tired, the dignified princess could only wait under the sun, but Ah Jiu could flatter in front of Emperor Shenwu?
It's not fair!
Mo Xinlan stopped the little eunuch and asked softly, "How could His Majesty summon my ninth sister?" ”
While the little eunuch was bending over, she stuffed a thick red envelope into the little eunuch's clothes.
"I heard that it was because of the relationship."
"Oh."
It turned out to be a dowry female official for the ninth sister?!
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi resolutely disagreed with the kiss, and quarreled with His Majesty for a few words, and then His Majesty sent an oracle to tell Miss Mo to enter the palace to face the saint."
At this time, Gonggong Ma personally trotted out of the main hall, "Quick, Your Majesty will give an order, give a banquet to Miss Mo, and order the imperial dining room to prepare Miss Mo's favorite dishes." ”
Mo Xinlan stepped forward and asked, "I know what the ninth sister likes, Your Majesty...... His Majesty xià Feng Jiu's sister as a female official? ”
Ma Gonggong didn't have a king in his eyes, even the prince was very polite to him, because he was biased towards Lu Tianyang, he was naturally not polite to Mo Xinlan, "Don't bother with Princess Huai, Your Majesty knows what Miss Ah Jiu is willing to eat, and Miss Ah Jiu politely refuses Her Majesty's will to be the county lord." ”
"Princess Huai doesn't have to worry about Miss Ah Jiu, Miss Ah Jiu will never be a female official."
Mo Xinlan's body shook, and King Huai supported her, "When will Your Majesty and Niangniang summon this king?" ”
"How do slaves know when Your Majesty is free?"
Ma Gong is busy inside and outside the distance, and he completely treats Princess Huai and his wife as wallflowers.
Looking inside from the open door of the main hall, Emperor Shenwu was talking to Ah Jiu with Yan Yuese, that is, the queen mother had become a companion at this time, and she couldn't intervene at all.
Only King Qi was proud, and he was like a father who protected his calf and jumped cheekily in front of Emperor Shenwu, "Ah Jiu is ordered by someone else." ”
"Get out of the way." Emperor Shenwu pushed and shoved the King of Qi who surrounded him like a flea, and scolded with a smile: "I haven't heard that she is engaged, and the oral marriage contract is not accurate." ”
King Qi retorted: "Literati often say that a promise is a thousand catties, who said that the oral marriage contract is not accurate?" You can't let your aunt mess around. ”
"You mean I'm going to make a fuss about you?"
"Erchen has never messed around."
King Qi replied seriously, and Emperor Shenwu's hands were a little itchy.
Ah Jiu stood quietly aside, faintly feeling that Emperor Shenwu's connivance with King Qi was far above many princes, even if the crown prince was only afraid that he could not compare to King Qi, but King Qi was indeed driven out of the imperial capital by Emperor Shenwu at the beginning, and even put it at the border to let King Qi fend for himself.
I heard Lu Tianyang say that King Qi was very sick because of this, otherwise he would not have regarded Lu Tianyang who was suddenly picked up as a lucky star, and later they survived the most difficult years together, and they were closer than their biological father and son.
In front of him, Emperor Shenwu's attention to King Qi did not seem to be fake.
Emperor Shenwu turned around and asked Ah Jiu, "Do you know Lu Tianyang's life experience?" ”
"Father!"
"I'm asking Ah Jiu, shut up!"
King Qi was not intimidated by Emperor Shenwu, and stood up in front of Ah Jiu, facing Emperor Shenwu who was faintly angry, "Tianyang is my son, what else does he need?" ”
Ah Jiu poked his head out from his back, his eyes were shining, "If you go back to your majesty, my father has to be him, not his life experience." ”
"Haha, well said, daughter-in-law."
King Qi was so happy that his beard trembled, and his eyebrows danced, "Old Mo's vision is good." ”R1152
