Chapter 41: Lian Xuerou is grounded
"I'm sure I'll be careful, besides, there are so many people following me!" Mu Kexian touched Qi Morui's big hand on his stomach, and said softly, "Your Highness should also pay attention to rest." ”
"Wanquan, send Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess back!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
When Mu Kexian's sedan chair disappeared from his sight, Qi Morui returned to the house to continue to deal with things. The things of the New Year are always piled together, thinking of these troubles, Qi Morui couldn't help but rub his brows.
His father's health is also worse year by year, although he doesn't say it, but there are more and more things left to him to deal with alone, and I don't know what my father thinks in his heart......
I have to say that as an emperor, Emperor Xuan is very competent, and in the past few decades, he has been diligent and diligent, and has carried forward the Xuan Kingdom on the basis of the past, and his power has become more and more unstoppable. And he was also willing to delegate power, and cultivated a dedicated heir for Xuanguo. It can be said that from Qi Morui's point of view, he is indeed a good father, but he is not a good husband.
After only a while, Mu Kexian returned to Fangyi Palace, originally the two palaces were not far away, but Qi Morui wanted to let the sedan chair come back.
"Father-in-law, go back!"
"Okay, mother, the slave will retire first."
But after leaving Fangyi Palace, Wanquan did not go back to Ganquan Palace directly, but went to Lian Xuerou, and he had not forgotten His Royal Highness the Prince's message!
"Father-in-law Wanquan, but what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" The first to greet the little girl who was guarding the door was the little girl, and when she saw the head of the East Palace coming, she immediately asked with a smile.
"Trouble girl, please come out with Concubine Lian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say."
In the room, even Xuerou was still figuring out the queen's attitude towards herself today, when she first went in by herself, the queen mother obviously didn't give herself a good look, but then did she punish herself, but let herself come back. It is estimated that his distressed prince played a role.
Sure enough, there is no mother in the world who does not feel sorry for her children, even if she is the queen mother of the world. If you want to get the favor of the queen, the concern for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most important thing. If he has the support of the queen, what do he care about Mu Kexian and the child in her belly?
Hmph, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, just put such a big score, and in the end, if you have a daughter in your life, wouldn't it be smiling and generous?
The little maid at the door suddenly came in, "Concubine Niangniang, Father-in-law Wanquan is here, please go outside to talk." ”
Lian Xuerou immediately took Xingyu's hand and walked outside. "Since my father-in-law is here, why don't you go into the house and warm up?"
Wan Quan immediately waved his hand, and his face was still expressionless, "Don't bother the side concubine, the miscellaneous family is just passing a few words for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Wan Quan stood upright, cleared his throat, and then said loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, even the side concubine disregards the palace rules, and the following offenses will be punished with grounding." After speaking, he glanced at Lian Xuerou, "The side concubine is so self-conscious!" ”
After listening to this, Lian Xuerou's hand holding Xingyu almost couldn't stand steadily, and she stumbled back to her senses, and asked Wan Quan, "Why, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing this to me?" ”
"This is to ask where did the side concubine go today and what did she do?" Wan Quan is not a hard-hearted person, and reminded Lian Xuerou in a good voice, "Concubine Fang should be sober, remember that those people can't be offended." ”
After speaking, he patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, "That's it, let's retire first." ”
Lian Xuerou kept picking at her palms with her nails to restrain her emotions. Under Xingyu's reminder, I remembered to say to Wanquan, "Father-in-law is good." "Look, even a eunuch can't be offended by himself.
When Wanquan left, even Xuerou's tears immediately fell, and even her feet were soft, and she returned to the back room with the support of Xingyu.
Lian Xuerou obviously couldn't accept the fact that she was grounded, but after entering the palace for three months, she was grounded, isn't this equivalent to being given up by His Royal Highness the Prince? "Why, why was I grounded? Just because I went to Zhongjing Palace today, did you say a few words? Lian Xuerou shouted hysterically, "It's just that she stabbed that slut, and she went to sue!" ”
Xingyu heard that her mother was so angry that even the crown princess dared to call her a slut, and immediately stopped, "Niangniang, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
"Who will remember me in the future?" Even Xuerou didn't expect that she would be grounded with just one sentence. It must be Mu Kexian's ghost, who else will let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know besides her.
"Niangniang, don't be sad, it will be the New Year in a few days, and at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely lift your grounding, even for the sake of the lord's face, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also let you go."
"Yes, and Daddy, you go get a pen and paper, I'm going to write a letter to Daddy and ask him to think of a way for me." Even Xue Rou seemed to have grasped the last straw of life, and she couldn't even bother to wipe her tears, so she urged Xingyu to hurry up and prepare pen and ink, and she wanted to repair a book for her family.
"I won't admit defeat, Mu Kexian, you wait!"
In the Fangyi Palace, Mu Kexian didn't know the turmoil outside, and as soon as he returned to the hall, lying on the collapsed of the Wangwang of the earth dragon burning, Mu Kexian was drowsy.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, didn't you invite Concubine Xia to come?" In the cold weather these days, Mu Kexian always couldn't help falling asleep when she lay on the bed or collapsed, causing Mu Kexian to sleep a lot during the day and not feel sleepy at night. I asked the doctor to see it, and said that it was not a big problem, but it was better to transfer it.
No, Mu Kexian specially invited Xia Weiran yesterday, so that she could chat with her after lunch for a while, and she could also eliminate sleep. It just so happened that Xia Weiran didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so she naturally gladly accepted the invitation.
Mu Kexian was a little sober at this time, "Shui Ling, help me up." Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Mu Kexian sat up with difficulty, sure enough, it was difficult to resist sleepiness, but it was better than fighting cocks with his eyes open at night.
"Is Wei Ran here?" Mu Kexian came to her senses and asked.
"It should be almost there, as soon as you come back, I'll send someone to invite you."
"Hmm." Mu Kexian sat on the collapse and waited quietly, after a while, her eyes narrowed, and then opened with difficulty, and closed again, if Xia Weiran didn't come again, Mu Kexian would really fall asleep.
On the way here, I heard the ping-pong in the Fang Pavilion, and occasionally there was a cry like Lian Xuerou. Because she usually has nothing to do with Lian Xuerou, Xia Weiran didn't want to go in directly, so she walked away with doubts.
"Niangniang, what did you say happened to Concubine Lian?" Obviously very abnormal, the maid beside Xia Weiran couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, wait for you to send someone to inquire, just do it quietly, don't alarm others."
"Yes, sissy."
It's just none of her business, Xia Weiran didn't care too much, and forgot about it after giving the order. Hurriedly walked to the Fangyi Palace, it was too cold this day, if it wasn't for the princess's personal invitation, and she really didn't go out much, Xia Weiran didn't want to move outside, so she couldn't help but speed up her movements, hoping to get to the Fangyi Hall as soon as possible, and it would be so warm and warm.
"Concubine Xia, you're here, our mother is almost asleep." has a close relationship with Mu Kexian, and Xia Weiran naturally knows what Shui Ling's words mean.
"Are you sleepy again?" Xia Weiran's tone was full of smiles.
Mu Kexian, who was in the house, naturally heard the conversation between the two outside, and shouted at the door, "Why don't you come in quickly, and talk about my laughter and gossip outside!" ”
Xia Weiran lifted the heavy curtain for herself with the help of Shui Ling, and untied her cloak at the door before entering. The tone was full of ridicule, "Why, don't let others say a few words?" ”
"Hmph, you know it's funny for me, I don't believe it, in such a cold weather, can you sit in a warm room without sleepiness?"
After getting along with Mu Kexian for two months, Xia Weiran also became close friends with Mu Kexian, and the two had nothing to say, so naturally they didn't care about these jokes.
"The crown princess's words are wrong, I really don't feel sleepy, and I have never had the habit of taking a nap."
Choked by Xia Weiran's words, Mu Kexian couldn't think of a refutation for a while, so she could only shut up stupidly.
"Hey, by the way, when I first came over, I heard a lot of movement in the Fang Pavilion, I don't know what's wrong?"
Although Mu Kexian didn't know where Wanquan went after sending her off, she was able to come out, and nine times out of ten, she went to Chufang Pavilion, after all, Mu Kexian hadn't forgotten the grounding in Qi Morui's mouth.
"It's probably because of injustice!" Speaking of Lian Xuerou, Mu Kexian's tone was not much better. For some reason, more or less she felt that even Xue Rou was hostile to her, whether it was when she occasionally asked her to say goodbye before, or this time.
Xia Weiran didn't know why, "Uneven? Why wouldn't she be upset? You didn't beat her, scold her, or treat her harshly. ”
Mu Kexian told Xia Weiran about today's incident in Zhongjing Palace, and told it Qi Morui's reaction.
Xia Weiran listened, "So that's the case, no wonder when I came, I heard the noise in the Fang Pavilion, presumably it was His Royal Highness the Prince's grounding that stimulated her." ”
Xia Weiran didn't care much about these either, anyway, even Xue Rou herself had to bump into today. found another topic and chatted with Mu Kexian, "By the way, I have nothing to do these days, so I made a hand warmer for you, you can wear it and try it." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned the person behind him to bring up the things he had made, although the things were common, but what was valuable was that Xia Weiran embroidered a lot of styles on them, which looked very exquisite.
"It's very beautiful, it's also very warm to wear, and sure enough, it's still Wei Ran's ingenuity, I've always been clumsy."
"Niangniang's words are modest, if you are clumsy, how can you play the piano so well?" Xia Weiran is very disdainful of Mu Kexian's self-humility, this talented person can't pretend to know anything here, who believes it?
Mu Kexian didn't refute when she heard this, but just smiled lightly.
"How is Niangniang doing these days?"
"Okay, eat and sleep every day, I feel that after giving birth, I may become a ball."
"What's the matter, I see that you are still very slender now, it seems that the grandmother sent to you by the queen mother is very experienced!"
