Chapter 31: Acquaintance at First Sight
Xia Weiran wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it, it's all over." It's you, mother. It's still happy, at least the people who take care of you are still around. ”
"Really?" Mu Kexian smiled bitterly. Feelings are such things, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, in the eyes of others, Qi Morui is already very good to himself, but he is still not satisfied, is he asking for too much?
", this is,"
Mu Kexian didn't intend to continue, and talked about another topic with a smile, "I heard that the king of Zhennan will enter Beijing in a few days, have you heard?" ”
"I haven't heard of it." Xia Weiran has always been deaf to things outside the window, and has never paid attention to this kind of thing. "But what's this, there are not a few people who come to the capital every year to pay homage."
"It's strange, the king of Zhennan is asking the prince of the world, isn't this kind of thing just a twist and turn, where is it worth traveling thousands of miles to come in person, there must be some intention!" Mu Kexian said mysteriously.
"When I was at home, I heard my father say a few times that King Zhennan has been stationed in the south for a long time, and his military strength should not be underestimated, so he is a big threat."
"Yes, but it's lively." Mu Kexian blinked, obviously looking forward to it.
Xia Weiran was very puzzled by Mu Kexian's expectations, and she didn't know what this kind of thing had to do with them in the deep palace.
Mu Kexian saw the big question mark on Xia Weiran's face, and said with a smile, "Of course it's related, when the king of Zhennan enters Beijing, he will definitely hold a banquet, and then there will not only be a dinner party, but you can also see your father and mother, I just don't know if my brother will patrol the palace, so I can still say a few words to him." ”
"Mother, too, is homesick? Can't the Prime Minister's wife come at any time? “
"Hmph, it's all my father's old pedant, obviously my mother can enter the palace to see me from time to time, and even the queen mother approved it, but he just didn't let it, what according to the regulations, the concubine's family can only enter the palace once in March, so that since I entered the palace, I have only seen my mother once."
Mu Kexian's voice was full of accusations against the Prime Minister, and her cheeks bulged with anger.
Xia Weiran was amused by Mu Kexian's reaction, how can there be parents in the world who don't want their children, and Mu Daren is also doing this for the sake of Mu Kexian's reputation, "Mu Daren is also for your good." “
Mu Ke smiled sweetly. Two small pear vortices loomed on his face, "I know, but I still can't help but be angry, I'm so homesick." “
Mu Kexian's smiling face deeply attracted Qi Morui, who was standing not far away, in fact, he had already come, but Mu Kexian and the others were sitting facing him, so they didn't find out.
Qi Morui wanted to step forward, but he didn't dare to walk over. What he did last night is estimated to have hurt Mu Kexian hard, he didn't dare, he didn't know what kind of attitude Xianxian had towards him.
"My mother is really enviable, but it's a pity that my mother is long gone."
"General Xia must love you very much, so that he can cultivate such a versatile daughter."
"Indeed, no matter what I have to do, my father always tries his best to find the best for me, never says a word to me, and depends on me in everything."
"To tell you the truth, I am still often reprimanded by my father? But my dad is just putting on a show, and the real punishment is ultimately my brother. “
Not to mention that Mu Keyan is still very miserable, and she has been beaten for her sister since she was a child. Prime Minister Mu is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, but this is only limited to his daughter, every time the two of them get into trouble together, Prime Minister Mu is always reluctant to punish Mu Kexian, just reprimand him verbally, but for Mu Keyan, he is not merciless at all, he should be punished, and he should be beaten.
As soon as she talked about her family, Mu Kexian's chatter couldn't stop, and she chatted happily with Xia Weiran, and her laughter never stopped.
"I miss the old days at home, how fun!"
Mu Kexian's voice reached Qi Morui's ears, and the joy in Mu Kexian's voice was clearly visible. At this time, Qi Morui didn't dare to step forward, he not only pulled Mu Kexian into the palace, but also lost her sincerity. He really didn't know how to face her, so he just disappeared first.
"Let's go back."
"Ah, go back?" Wan Quan hesitated for a moment before he hurriedly got up and caught up with Qi Morui, who had already walked away.
Xia Weiran glanced at her eyes and saw a yellow figure flashing, as if it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but why didn't she come?
Mu Kexian couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw that Xia Weiran had been staring at one place, and her eyes also turned with Xia Weiran.
"Wei Ran, what are you looking at?"
"I," Xia Weiran originally wanted to say that she seemed to have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, but after thinking about it, the two of them estimated that there was a conflict, and looking at Mu Kexian's reaction when she mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, it was better to solve their affairs by themselves, and they would not be involved.
"I just saw a yellow kitten running over!" Forgive me, Your Highness the Prince, for comparing you to a cat.
"Yes, Shui Ling, you go and see, if there is no master, bring it to us and raise it ourselves."
Shui Xiu next to him was the first to object, "But, Niangniang, you are pregnant!" “
"Don't you even have the freedom to have a pet when you're pregnant?" Mu Kexian's face drooped instantly.
Xia Weiran said with a smile, "It's okay for the mother to raise it, but it's better to let the imperial doctor take a look, so as not to really have anything bad for the child." “
"It's still Wei Ran who has won my heart."
The water spirit water show on the side glanced at each other, and the same thought appeared in their eyes, are the two of us about to fall out of favor? It's so pathetic.
If Mu Kexian knew the psychological activities of the two of them, she would definitely explain it like this, Xia Weiran felt like a bosom friend to Mu Kexian, and they were relatives, and the nature of the two was completely different, so there was no need to worry about falling out of favor!
Unconsciously, it was time for lunch, and Mu Kexian warmly invited Xia Weiran to stay in Fangyi Hall for dinner.
"Anyway, I'm alone here, so it's better to stay with me!"
As a new sister who first met and hit it off at first sight, Xia Weiran naturally would not refuse, so she simply stayed and had dinner together, until after the meal, because Mu Kexian was going to take a nap.
Before leaving, Mu Kexian was still reluctant, and kept telling Xia Weiran to come to Fangyi Hall often to do it. In this regard, Shui Lingshui Xiu was very dissatisfied, not just a few steps away, as for being so reluctant, it made the two of them feel even stronger that they were about to fall out of favor.
After Xia Weiran left, Shui Ling's heart was straightforward, and she couldn't help but ask, "Niangniang, why are you so good to Concubine Xia?" She's also the Prince's woman. Shui Ling's tone did not hide his dissatisfaction with her at all.
Mu Kexian looked at Shui Ling funny, "What, you're jealous!" The mouth is so pouting that you can hang the oil bottle. “
"Niangniang, the slave is talking about the right thing, what if she wants to harm you?" Shui Ling was so angry by Mu Kexian's disapproving attitude that she stomped her feet, this is a woman, or a rival of the same husband, why should the mother be so enthusiastic about her.
"No, she's also a poor person, and she can't just love it!" Mu Kexian sighed before replying. "In short, she is not a person who will compete for favor, I know it in my heart."
"I can't love it, that means that Concubine Xia has someone else in her heart?" Shui Ling felt that he had heard a big gossip, and he was so shocked that he covered his mouth. Isn't this a cuckold for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in disguise, no wonder the mother said that she would not be favored by the prince.
"Shhhhh
Shui Ling immediately shook his head like a rattle, made a guarantee, and made a gesture of pulling the seal on his mouth, indicating that he would never talk nonsense.
"Alright, let's get out, I'll sleep for a while."
Shui Ling helped lower the curtain of the bed and left the room.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shui Ling outside the door was yawning, and suddenly saw His Royal Highness the Prince, and quickly knelt down and saluted.
"What about the crown princess?" Qi Morui asked in a low voice.
"If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang has been asleep for a while."
After receiving an answer, Qi Morui opened the door and entered the room lightly.
Sure enough, Mu Kexian on the bed was sleeping soundly, and although it was through the curtains, she could still hear Mu Kexian's even breathing.
Qi Morui didn't lift the bed curtain, for fear that he would wake up Mu Kexian. Just stood on the side of the bed, looked at Mu Kexian quietly for a while, and then left the room, still lightly, without making a sound.
When he walked to the door, he explained to Shui Ling, "Don't tell the crown princess that you have been alone." “
Just as he was about to get up and go back to the study, he turned back and asked Shui Ling, "What are those people looking for outside the door, the crown princess has lost something?" “
"No, it's Concubine Xia today who said that there seems to be a little yellow cat at the gate of the palace, and Niangniang wants to find it and raise it herself."
"The wild cats in the palace are not safe, and when they are lonely, send someone to find a cat, and tell those people not to look for it again."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."
What Qi Morui didn't notice was that as soon as he left, the eyes of the person who was originally on the bed with his eyes closed opened open.
In fact, as early as when Qi Morui opened the door and came in, Mu Kexian woke up. Qi Morui didn't know that there was always a special fragrance of ink bamboo on his body, and it was reassuring to smell it, every time Mu Kexian smelled this fragrance, he knew that Qi Morui was coming. Over time, a habit is formed, and as long as there is a fragrance, you can always wake up.
So you're also afraid to see me now, so that's why you sneak in while I'm sleeping? I'm also afraid to see you, and I'm afraid that when I see you, I will remember that you don't belong to me anymore. Let's all give each other a little time, we can't go back to the old days.
Although Qi Morui said that he would wait for him to be free, he was always very concerned about Mu Kexian's affairs, but in one afternoon, it was done.
At dinner, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really sent someone to bring a little milk cat that has been orange, soft and cute.
Mu Kexian hugged the kitten, she couldn't put it down, and felt the little milk cat lick her hand with her little tongue, making a small "meow", and Mu Kexian's heart was about to melt.
"Niangniang, the person who sent the kitten over said that this kitten has been seen by the imperial doctor, although it is not harmful to your body, but you still can't get close to it for a long time."
"I know, I'll be careful." Mu Kexian is also very concerned about the child's affairs, since the doctor said that it is okay, then she is relieved.
