When she returned to Zhongjing Palace again, Mu Kexian had a familiar smile on her face again, obviously her mood had improved, and the queen was also happy when she saw it. She was afraid that there would be a gap between Mu Kexian and Qi Morui because of the matter of the side concubine, but now it seems that Mu Kexian still understands the righteousness.

For a mother, what she hopes most is that her son is happy, her daughter-in-law understands generosity, and the queen mother is no exception. Although she has also suffered from the three palaces and six courts, when it comes to her daughter-in-law, as long as she is virtuous and generous. Mu Kexian's reaction was very satisfactory to the queen, you can play small, but you have to have a degree, you can't wronged your son, obviously, Mu Kexian is in this "degree" of the queen's mother.

Mu Ke was at the door, embarrassed to go in, just now he was petty in front of his mother-in-law, and now he is still a little apprehensive. Mu Kexian has always had a clear understanding of the queen's love, firstly, because she is the crown princess, Qi Morui is also very satisfied with herself; The second is because of sympathy, after all, the two of them can be regarded as the closest women to each other in the harem, but I just don't know what the queen thinks about being angry with her son.

Last time, Mu Kexian and Qi Morui had a cold war, although the queen mother revealed between the lines that as a woman, I understand your feelings after the queen mother, but Mu Kexian still felt a trace of dissatisfaction from the queen mother, after all, no one would want to tolerate a daughter-in-law who is looking for trouble for her son.

However, this time it was obvious that Mu Kexian was thinking too much, and the queen mother was not unhappy at all. Seeing that Mu Kexian didn't come in, he beckoned Mu Kexian to hurry up with her to water the flowers.

Qi Morui was not very interested in this kind of activity, but he had promised that his mother would stay here, so he had to accompany the two of them.

Who knew that the queen mother actually disliked Qi Morui, "You go and get busy, just come back at lunchtime, don't disturb the two of us to enjoy the flowers." ”

Qi Morui knew that the queen mother felt sorry for herself, and if she was here at this time, she would definitely have to delay the unhandled matters until late at night. smiled and saluted, "The minister there is a resignation." ”

"Go ahead!" As soon as he turned his head, he hugged Mu Kexian's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the apse to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Huafang recently sent a new variety to the queen mother, and the queen mother guessed that you would like it, so she specially raised it in the back."

"That slender should take a good look, if you like which pot, the queen mother can't be reluctant!"

"The queen mother must not be distressed."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in harmony, and the two went to enjoy the flowers together.

At noon, Qi Morui did not break his promise, and came to Zhongjing Palace on time to accompany the queen mother and Mu Kexian for lunch.

While eating, Mu Kexian was still talking about flowers and plants, "It's a pity that it's already autumn, otherwise there may be more varieties of flowers!" “

Mu Kexian thought she knew a lot about flowers and plants, but when she arrived at the palace, she realized that there were so many exotic flowers and plants, and there were many varieties that she had never seen before, and sure enough, the best things in the world were estimated to be in the palace.

"There's more to come!" The queen mother took a chopstick dish and put it in Mu Kexian's dishes.

"Slim has had a very good appetite lately." The queen did not refuse to see Mu Kexian, whether it was the vegetables she picked up or Qi Morui, they basically ate cleanly.

was said by the queen's mother, Mu Kexian seriously reflected on her recent diet. It seems that I have eaten a little too much, not only do I eat three meals, but I also have to use another bowl of porridge at night, and I often feel very hungry recently, and I can't help but eat more.

"Seems like so." Qi Morui looked at Mu Ke's stuffed mouth, and said with a doting smile.

"I'm eating for two now, so it's normal to eat more!" Mu Kexian thought that they were laughing at the fact that they had eaten too much, and couldn't help but retort.

"Being able to eat is a blessing, which means that the child is healthy in your belly." The queen said comfortingly.

The three of them finished lunch in a very harmonious atmosphere, because after being pregnant, Mu Kexian had the habit of taking a nap, and Qi Morui accompanied Mu Kexian back to the East Palace.

"Sleep, wait until my father has something to discuss with me." Qi Morui helped Mu Kexian cover the quilt.

"Okay, you also pay attention to rest." Mu Kexian obediently closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

After Mu Kexian's breathing slowly became stable, Qi Morui kissed Mu Kexian on the forehead before turning to leave.

Wan Quan, who was waiting outside, looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always been cold, and couldn't hide his affection and doting in front of the Crown Princess, and pouted helplessly, it seems that it is really a hero since ancient times who is sad about the beauty.

Wan Quan raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Zhen, who was also waiting outside with him, but he didn't know which woman would be able to take down this big iceberg in the future, that would really be a heroine among women.

Wei Zhen saw Wanquan looking at him with a scrutinizing eye, and began to wonder if there was something wrong with him, and asked Wanquan with his eyes.

Wanquan thought in his heart, it's useless for you to see me, and it is estimated that no woman can stand such a cold character. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to come out, the two immediately stood up again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is news from the previous dynasty that the King of Zhennan is coming to meet the saint, and the emperor has summoned you to discuss the matter of greeting."

"Well, the person appointed by my father to contact someone?"

"Prime Minister."

It turned out to be his father-in-law, and Qi Morui knew it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Degui outside the door saw Qi Morui's figure and immediately spread the word.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, go in quickly, the Prime Minister has already arrived."

Qi Morui nodded towards Degui and went in.

"Son-in-law, see father."

"No courtesy."

Qi Morui also saluted to the Mu people who were standing on the side, and the Mu people's expression was faint, and they also bent down to return the salute.

"This time, the king of Zhennan entered Beijing, and Mu Aiqing was fully responsible, and I was very relieved."

"Minister, you will never live up to the emperor's trust, and you will make every effort to arrange it."

"Aiqing has always been very safe in doing things."

"Na Chen, retire first." The Muslim man made a gesture and left.

"Rui'er, this trip to the King of Zhennan is mainly to invite the prince."

"If Erchen didn't guess wrong, King Zhennan wants his second son to be the son."

"Exactly."

According to the investigation of the sons, the eldest son of the king of Zhennan is mediocre and incompetent, but the second son has the demeanor of the king of Zhennan when he was young. The king of Zhennan has lived in the south for a long time, and in recent years, his power has gradually expanded, and his ambitions have also increased. This is the case with the invitation to seal the prince, instead of choosing his eldest son, but the second son, the ambition can be seen. ”

"That's why I didn't give him an answer because I thought about it."

"According to Erchen, my father doesn't have to reply in a hurry now, and we will discuss it when the king of Zhennan enters Beijing."

"What are you going to do?"

"King Zhennan likes the second son, and the eldest son of King Zhennan should be more anxious, no matter how much person he is, it is impossible for him not to make a move when his position is not guaranteed. Father, let's wait! ”

The emperor nodded, very much in agreement with Qi Morui's words, walked over and patted Qi Morui on the shoulder, "I am still more blessed than the king of Zhennan, and Rui'er has the demeanor of his father." ”

"How can a son be compared to his father."

"I heard that the prince had lunch with the queen today, so let's play chess with my father, Rui'er can't favor one over the other!"

Hearing the emperor's jealous tone, Qi Morui immediately responded, still wondering in his heart, when did his father become so naïve?

At the end of another game, Qi Morui rearranged the chess pieces.

"Rui'er's chess skills have grown again, and my father is willing to bow down!"

"Where, thank you for your father's concession."

The emperor looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who he had cultivated single-handedly, and was very proud in his heart. Compared with the eldest son and the second son of King Zhennan, his own prince is not one or two points better. Since the crown prince came into contact with political affairs, everything has been done very well, but there is one thing that he is not very satisfied with.

"I heard that you didn't have a round room with the side concubine last night?"

Qi Morui was silent, knowing that his father knew nothing in the palace, but he didn't plan to hide it.

"Rui'er, you are the one who will become the head of a country in the future, you know?" When the emperor looked at his proudest son, he knew that he didn't listen to it.

"My father knows that the crown princess is a good girl, but can you block everyone's mouths, in the future, others will only talk about the princess being jealous and unworthy of her position."

Qi Morui set up the chessboard before he spoke, "However, Erchen doesn't want to let her down." “

"Then how do you convince the courtiers and how to give an explanation to the Xia family and the Lian family?" The emperor took a sip of tea and continued, "The world says that the royal family is affectionate, but they don't know the sour in the center. The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. You were raised by my own hands, so I naturally understand this truth. If you don't like Xia's, forget it. But tonight, you have to give me an account. ”

Qi Morui was silent and accompanied the emperor to play another game of chess, and it was not until the last move that he said to the emperor, "Erchen understands that he will go to the Moon Pavilion tonight." ”

"However, there is one condition for the son, the eldest son of the East Palace must be the eldest son." Qi Morui won the last step and looked at the emperor. “

"Okay, I won't interfere in this matter."

The emperor silently patted Qi Morui's shoulder, and his eyes showed emotions that Qi Morui couldn't understand.

After playing chess for an afternoon, the sky was already sinking, and Qi Morui naturally stayed to have dinner with the emperor.

When Qi Morui came out of the Qianqing Palace, his face was gloomy, and he was almost like ink. Wan Quan, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel nervous, and there was no sound of quarrel in this hall, why was the prince in such a bad mood. But it's not a big deal, and when you go to Fangyi Palace, the prince's mood will immediately improve, and he can be a little less frightened.

From this point of view, the crown princess is simply her own protector, and Wan Quan's reverence for Mu Kexian has a little more.

Qi Morui walked back to the East Palace quickly, not saying a word along the way. Wei Zhen and Wanquan, who were following behind, didn't even dare to come out, for fear of provoking His Royal Highness the Prince, and only hoped to arrive at the Fangyi Hall as soon as possible. This oppressive atmosphere is too challenging to the heart, and it is simply not a human job. It is said that men conquer the world, and women only need to conquer men, which is really not bad at all.
