"What else? Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the heartthrob! Mu Kexian pouted and said.

Qi Morui turned Mu Kexian's head, looked into the other party's eyes, and said solemnly, "Xianxian, no matter who enters the East Palace in the future, you are the only one I care about." ”

Mu Kexian held Qi Morui's hand and put it on his lower abdomen, "And him." ”

The atmosphere in the East Palace finally returned to normal, and all the subordinates were very happy, because the two masters had returned to the level of glue. As soon as the queen mother came out of the draft palace, she heard the good news, and the fatigue of her body dissipated.

"Now you should rest assured." Mama Gui said with a smile while helping the queen mother hammer her shoulder.

"These two children can be regarded as saving my heart for a while." The queen mother is also smiling.

"By the way, the results of the draft can be presented to the emperor?"

"Don't worry, Niangniang sent someone to send it a long time ago."

"That's good, this draft, I don't know how many people will enter this harem?"

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor of Xuanguo was looking at the list of those who passed the primary election.

"The daughter of Dali Siqing has a good name." The emperor remembered the results of the conversation with the crown prince a few days ago, and muttered.

The emperor thinks he is a good father and is very considerate of his son. Although the crown prince is not very interested in the selection of side concubines, he is bound to choose the right person. The daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple can be, but her appearance can only be regarded as acceptable. So in order to maintain balance, the emperor specially chose Xia Weiran as another side concubine, and the emperor was very satisfied with this arrangement.

"It's expensive, and you can wait for the pen and ink."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On September 17, the weather was fine. This morning, the emperor issued two holy decrees, choosing Lian Xuerou, the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Xia Weiran, the daughter of General Zhenyuan, as the prince's concubines, and joined the East Palace on September 24.

In the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple, Lord Lian was very satisfied with the results of the draft, and even the entire Lianfu was jubilant.

In Lian Xuerou's room, Mrs. Lian was talking to her.

"Xue Rou, you must be careful when you enter the East Palace."

"Mother, I know, I will definitely surpass Mu Kexian." Lian Xuerou looked at herself in the mirror and swore solemnly, "It will be." “

"Xue Rou, my mother just hopes that you will live well, as long as you are safe." Mrs. Lian listened to her daughter's words, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "The palace is no better than the family, and protecting yourself is the most important thing." ”

"Mother, since I have entered the palace, I am bound to compete with Mu Kexian, and it will also add glory to my family."

"Good, good, good, worthy of my Lian Wei's daughter!" Lord Lian, who came in at the door, listened to his daughter's words and was very satisfied, "Xue Rou is right, our family is not weak, and it is comparable to his Mu family, who is the seat in the end, not necessarily?" ”

Lian Wei has always been at odds with Mu Jiangguo, and he has been pressed everywhere. I thought that I could take the opportunity of the emperor's election of the crown princess to suppress him, but I didn't expect that he was still inferior. If his daughter can suppress Mu Kexian after entering the palace, it can also relieve the hatred in his heart.

Like Lian Wei's competitive temperament, even Xue Rou is not willing to be under others, so she naturally wants to give it a go. She thought that she was not bad, but she still chose Mu Kexian as the crown princess, and she was very angry in her heart. What about the first beauty in Beijing, you will know the result when you compete in it.

If the atmosphere of Lian's family is to sharpen knives, then General Zhenyuan's house is very dull, and even the noble father-in-law who went to announce the decree is a little strange, this is not like a marriage decree, but a death decree.

After the decree was read, no one answered it for a long time, and I knew that he shouted again, "General, it's time to take the decree." Only then did General Zhenyuan react.

"Dad, my daughter doesn't want to enter the palace, she doesn't want to go!" Xia Weiran's tears flowed down instantly, "Didn't you promise your daughter?" “

Zhenyuan General Xia Zhen sighed and said helplessly, "Wei Ran, Dad can't help it, this is a holy decree, and the emperor personally ordered it." ”

"Why, how can I explain to me?" Xia Weiran covered her face and couldn't help crying.

His daughter's sad sobbing sound reached Xia Zhen's ears, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. I thought my daughter would not be chosen, but the result was ......

"If I knew this, Dad should have found a way to help you avoid the draft." Xia Zhen also regretted it in his heart. He knew in his heart that his daughter was not suitable for entering the palace at all, and besides, she already had someone else in her heart. No favor is a trivial matter, the important thing is to use it as a handle, and it will be miserable if you are killed.

"Wei Ran, enter the East Palace to protect yourself, Dad, I will definitely protect you!"

"Dad, you go out first, I want to be alone for a while." Xia Weiran's muffled voice came. Knowing that his daughter couldn't listen to anything at this time, Xia Zhen glanced at his daughter and left.

Xia Weiran took out a small broken arrow from the head of her bed, and she couldn't stop her tears, "I'm sorry, I can't stand our agreement." I can't ignore the entire Xia family, but don't worry, I won't forget you, and no one can replace your position in my heart. ”

As for the emperor's harem, a few new beauties have also been added, but the family background is not obvious.

"Mama, all the new entrants to the palace have been arranged." The queen asked nonchalantly while watering the flowers.

"Back to Niangniang, it's all arranged." Mama Gui replied.

"I heard that these newcomers are all good-looking, and the title of Wen Guiren was given by the emperor himself!" The queen said with a nonchalant smile. "But that Wen Guiren is the daughter of a five-grade magistrate, and it's a pity that she was born."

"However, the most painful thing for the saint is our Royal Highness the Prince, and the two side concubines selected are both beauties with good conduct, and their family backgrounds are also worthy." Mama Gui saw that the queen was not happy, and hurriedly changed the topic.

"It's been so many years, I've long been used to it, and there are beauties entering the palace every year, and the palace still doesn't take this to heart." The queen put down the kettle in her hand, "Send this pot of phalaenopsis to the crown princess, I remember that she is also a flower lover." ”

"The crown princess is a blessed person, and she has to be taken care of by her mother." Mama Gui didn't understand the queen's love for Mu Kexian.

"Bengong naturally feels sorry for his daughter-in-law!"

"That's what the mother said."

"This palace protects her, and it also protects herself back then."

In the Fangyi Palace, Mu Kexian was painting in the study. Knowing that he was not suitable for the technical work of embroidery, Mu Kexian returned in time and switched to painting. This is still Qi Morui's suggestion, write down the paintings he wants to draw every day, and when the child is born, he can take him to see these paintings together. For Mu Kexian, painting is obviously much easier.

"The crown princess, the queen sent someone to send a pot of phalaenopsis."

"Bring it in." Mu Kexian said happily, "Just put it on the shelf!" "It's still the queen mother who hurts herself, last time she casually mentioned that she likes flowers and plants, and these days the queen mother will send people to send some beautiful flowers and plants from time to time, Mu Kexian is very happy.

"Just draw this pot of orchids into it." Mu Kexian said to herself, "Child, look how much your imperial grandmother loves us!" ”

The scene of Mu Ke gently touching her stomach and talking to the child deeply stimulated Mama Zheng, who was coming in with a tocolytic.

Mu Kexian frowned when she saw Mama Zheng holding the medicine again, "Why do you have to take medicine again?" ”

"Niangniang, last time, the imperial doctor took the pulse and said that your body was a little weak, so I prescribed medicine again." Shui Ling put down the work in his hand, walked over quickly, and prepared to bring the medicine bowl in Mama Zheng's hand, "Mama, it's not for you to rest, just do this kind of thing, you, just take care of your body." “

Mu Kexian also said, "Who can say right, Mama, you have to rest more, I have someone here to serve." I have already told my mother, wait a few days for yours and be completely healed, and I will send you out of the palace to recuperate. “

Listening to Shui Ling and Mu Kexian's words, Mama Zheng's eyes were a little moist. Taking advantage of the time when Shui Ling came over, he pretended to accidentally knock over the medicine bowl with a "bang".

Shui Ling hurriedly walked over and stopped Mama Zheng from bending down to clean up the mess, "Mama, I'll come, Shui Xiu, you go and bring another bowl of medicine!" ”

"Mama Zheng didn't hurt anything, did she?" Mu Kexian asked uneasily.

Mama Zheng said apologetically, "The slave is so old that she can't even hold a bowl of medicine." ”

"What do you say? Go and rest, I see that Mama's face is still not good. "Mu Kexian is very concerned about the grandmother who has served her since she was a child.

"The slave and maid retreated first!" As soon as she walked out of the door, Mama Zheng's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground. happened to be seen by Shui Xiu, who went to serve medicine again, but seeing that Mama Zheng was fine, Shui Xiu didn't say much, after all, the old man always doesn't like to be said to be old, and Shui Xiu is also very considerate.

After Mu Kexian finished taking the medicine, her bitter face wrinkled, and Shui Ling hurriedly stuffed a candied fruit into Mu Kexian's mouth.

"Niangniang, don't you think Mama Zheng has been out of soul recently?" Shui Xiu remembered the scene just now and couldn't help asking.

Without waiting for Mu Kexian to answer, Shui Ling said bluntly, "Mama Zheng is old, and she has just recovered from a serious illness, so it's normal for her to be in bad spirits. ”

"But it's okay if the spirit is not good, the slave always feels that Mama Zheng is a little flustered, especially when she sees us and Niangniang." After a pause, Shui Xiu continued, "But it may also be overthinking. ”

Hearing Shui Xiu say this, Mu Kexian also felt that Mama Zheng had been acting a little strange recently, and recently she always felt that Mama Zheng didn't dare to look at her, which was very abnormal. It stands to reason that Mama Zheng has served herself for so many years, and she shouldn't be like this.

However, Mu Kexian also had doubts in her heart, and still explained to the two maids, "I usually take care of Mama Zheng, after all, she is also an old man, and I will send her out of the palace to take care of her in a few days." ”

In the evening, when Qi Morui came, Mu Kexian told him about Mama Zheng's abnormality. I wanted to ask Qi Morui to find out if there was something going on at Mama Zheng's house, but she didn't say it herself, and Mu Kexian couldn't force her directly.

"What's the pay?" Qi Morui deliberately lowered his voice and spoke towards Mu Kexian's ear, and the listener was full of temptation.

Mu Kexian quickly kissed Qi Morui on the face, "Is this enough?" ”

"Naturally, it's not enough, since the crown princess won't give it, I'll take it myself!" As he spoke, he lowered his head and grabbed his red lips.
