Chapter 123: Secrets of the Palace
"Lord Wang, don't keep holding him, Xuan'er is learning to walk now, you always hold him, and when you let him go by himself later, it's time to play a little trick with the concubine." Concubine Lin Qingyue said to Mu Qingqi, who had been holding Mu Zixuan for a while. Although Mu Qingqi still looked unsatisfied, he also knew that the boys couldn't be too pampered, they were already more than a year old, and it was time to learn to walk, and he hoped that his son would be able to fulfill his dream for him in the future and fight on the battlefield, so he put Mu Zixuan down and let the nurse take him to learn to walk.
"Qingyue, it's really hard for you." Mu Qingqi's voice was very gentle. "What did the prince say, although the concubine is not Xuan'er's real mother, but my sister went with my poor child, Xuan'er is no different from the meat that fell from me, with the princess and the princess treating me well, the concubine will also take care of Xuan'er wholeheartedly." Lin Qingyue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking sad. She mentioned the princess, and Mu Qingqi's mood was also a little heavy.
Qi princess Fang Qianlan, is a civilian girl Mu Qingqi met when he traveled abroad, Mu Qingqi fell in love with her at first sight, and tried his best to pursue it and marry a concubine, although Fang Qianlan is a civilian woman, but she is not greedy for vanity, after learning Mu Qingqi's identity, she rejected him, but in order to marry her, Mu Qingqi asked for Mu Qingyu, who was already the emperor, although the queen mother strongly objected, but the emperor himself had his own thoughts, after thinking for a few days, he agreed to Mu Qingqi's request, and at the same time personally decreed the marriage between the two, At that time, the ministers of the DPRK and China were shocked, although Mu Qingqi became an idle prince, his reputation in the capital has always been good. is one of the candidates that the ladies want to marry the most, and now he actually married a civilian woman, which caused a storm in the capital for a while. I don't know how many handkerchiefs and vases have been broken by many boudoir ladies. Among them, the most unwilling is Lin Qingyue of the Lin family.
After the two got married, Qin Se and Ming were very affectionate. But Fang Qianlan has never been pregnant, which makes the Queen Mother, who doesn't like her, even more opinionated, so two years later, she issued a decree and gave Lin Qingyue to Mu Qingqi, originally wanting her to be a side concubine. But Mu Qingqi didn't dare to die. had to be sent to the palace as a concubine.
Although Lin Qingyue got her wish, Mu Qingqi didn't have her in her eyes at all, and the only time she was happy was when she tried her best, making Mu Qingqi think that it was caused by his own drunken immorality. And she was actually pregnant. Mu Qingqi tried to be good to her materially because of guilt. On the other hand, he was even more alienated from her. But at the same time, Princess Fang Qianlan was also pregnant, and Mu Qingqi's thoughts were all on her alone, which made Lin Qingyue even more jealous. She has survived in the intrigue and intrigue of the Lin Mansion since she was a child. Fang Qianlan, who was born as a civilian, was of course not her opponent, so on the one hand, she was humble and submissive in front of Fang Qianlan, and on the other hand, she tried her best to win over people in the mansion, so under her various arrangements, the two gave birth at the same time, and her son not only replaced Fang Qianlan's son, but Fang Qianlan also died due to dystocia. Fang Qianlan's son was also taken away by Steward Xu at that time, and Lin Qingyue found a dead baby to replace her son.
So Lin Qingyue successfully became the side concubine of the palace, and Mu Qingqi no longer married the concubine because she missed Fang Qianlan, although Lin Qingyue was not the concubine, all matters in the palace were handed over to her. She became the uncrowned king of the royal palace. Her son has become Mu Qingqi's only son, and she will naturally do her best to take care of him, and she will be the only master in the palace in the future. Now the relationship between Lin Qingyue and Mu Qingqi is also much closer, and all the things she pursues have been realized. The ladies of the family in the capital are very envious of her good fortune.
"Lan'er must be very relieved to know that you have taken such good care of her son, and I thank you for her." In Mu Qingqi's heart, Fang Qianlan's status is forever indelible. For Lin Qingyue, this is the only fly in the ointment, which will make her resentful from time to time, and it is also a thorn in her heart.
"My sister also took care of the concubine when she was there, and the concubine should do this." Lin Qingyue lowered her head, and although the words she said were respectful, her hands were clenched tightly unconsciously, and she secretly hated in her heart why the slut of the Fang clan had not completely disappeared from her life!
"Okay, you've been busy for a long time, pay attention to your body, go back and rest for a while." Mu Qingqi waved his hand and motioned for her to go down. "Little four, let you see a smile." Mu Qingqi came out of the mood of missing the princess, and when he saw Mu Qiyue standing aside, he was a little embarrassed. "Brother Qi is a long-term person, and I also hope to find someone like you who can make me fall in love with my life." Mu Qiyue said silently.
"Alright, let's talk about something happy." Mu Qingyu patted him and took the lead in walking out. "I heard that the things produced in your little Zhuangzi are good, and my Zuixian Building has opened a special dish for one table a day, hehe, the effect is good, the effect is good." "It seems that this Lu Mingtao has revealed all my family wealth to Brother Qi." Mu Qiyue secretly wanted to go back and clean up Lu Mingtao, and give him a small dividend of one percent this year, hum. At this time, Lu Mingtao, who was sitting at home, sneezed for no reason, "Is someone saying bad things about me?" Lu Mingtao thought to himself for a while, without any clue.
"There are not many things, one table a day can be served, too much will not work, Brother Qi also knows my body, only those things I can still eat, and the others are really not eaten." Mu Qiyue told the truth. "Alas, it will get better slowly, I think your health has been good in the past six months, and you won't stop eating at every turn." The two walked to the pavilion in the garden, sat down and talked while admiring the scenery below.
"It's better, I got some nice things last year, and my appetite is a lot better. The amount of food has also increased. As soon as Mu Qiyue thought of the taste of those special white rice, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile. Oh, what a good thing, little four, you can't hide your secrets. Mu Qingqi said jokingly.
"Don't worry, how can you miss Brother Qi's share, I'll send it to you in the autumn." Seeing what Mu Qingqi wanted to say, Mu Qiyue added, "Even the emperor's share will be prepared." Hearing this, Mu Qingqi nodded with satisfaction.
"I said Xiaosi, you can get such good things, why don't you find more varieties of Zhuangzi yourself, and go outside to buy them. Can't you use the seeds of the special watermelon after eating? "In fact, Mu Qiyue gave Mu Qingqi and the current emperor a total of thirty percent of the dark shares, so Mu Qiyue did not hide some things from him, such as the purchase price of special watermelon.
"What does Brother Qi think of the taste of this special watermelon and the top-grade watermelon?" Mu Qiyue did not answer his question directly. "Although the high-grade watermelon is good, there are still some things missing according to the special watermelon, but I can't say what the difference is." Mu Qingqi thought for a while and replied. "Brother Qi, do you know that the seeds of this high-grade watermelon are from the special watermelon." As soon as Mu Qiyue's words fell, Mu Qingqi understood what he meant. "So, the firm has to keep buying special watermelons from other places? But what if the man sat on the ground and raised the price? "Although Mu Qingqi is not in the court, he is not a straw bag who doesn't understand anything.
"These five taels of silver a watermelon were set at that time, and the person never increased the price, and every time the contract was made first, she would not sit on the ground and start the price casually. This man is afraid of trouble. In the future, there may soon be more high-grade watermelons, but special watermelons will not easily increase a lot. The more good things are, the fewer they are. Mu Qiyue gave him a "you know" look.
"Hehe, it looks like you've found a pretty shrewd person to be your client." Mu Qingyu smiled. "It's hard to say whether she's shrewd or not, it's first-class if she's afraid of trouble, and my Muyue firm can just help her solve some troubles, so we'll be very happy to cooperate." Mu Qiyue had an unfathomable smile on his face, "And there will be some unexpected surprises." ”
"What surprise?" Mu Qingqi asked curiously. "It's not certain yet, but it should be no less than the surprise of the best Xia Hemei." Mu Qiyue's smile was like a cat stealing fish.
"No, that pot of superb orchids is already rare. Could there be an even bigger surprise than that? "He has also seen the pot of the best Xia Hemei that Mu Qiyue sent to the palace, and it is indeed a very rare boutique to go down the mountain to plant orchids." It's still hard to say, and it may take two years to know the way. But with the news, I will inform Brother Qi of you. Mu Qiyue knew that he was also a flower lover, and half of the good flowers that Lu Mingtao bought for him entered Mu Qingqi's house.
"Then let's talk about it, don't forget my brother when the time comes." Mu Qingqi was very happy. "Since you know each other so well, then brother and I can't take advantage of you in vain, I have found a lot of portraits of official ladies from the palace, you choose carefully, there must be something suitable for you."
"Brother Qi, if you still want my help, don't mention it again." Mu Qiyue has no interest in these things at all, and besides, his position in Qingwangfu is very embarrassing, and the daughter of a good family should not want to marry him. "Hehe, you don't have to be embarrassed, it's a matter of time or time, it's just to let you have a number in your heart, and my brother and I won't let you suffer. You don't have to shy away from Uncle Wang and Auntie, it's a big deal to let the royal brother give you a marriage. Mu Qingqi also knew about his current situation in King Qing's Mansion, but how could Lord Qing also be his elder, and it was not good for him to say that the elders were not behind his back.
"Thank you for the kindness of the emperor and Brother Qi, when I find the person I like, I will definitely tell you." Mu Qiyue didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he ended the topic of the letter.
