On September 15, it is advisable to get married, which is a good day for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry the two side concubines. Although the pomp and circumstance on the streets were not as grand as when the crown princess was married, it was still very lively. The people who watched the ceremony on the street loved to join in the fun, and they all stood on the side of the street and talked about it.

"Guess what, which side concubine's house His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to?"

"I guess I will go to Xia's house, I heard that General Zhenyuan's daughter is very good-looking, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a man, hehehe." The group laughed tacitly.

One of them shook his head disagreeingly, "In my opinion, the prince will go to Lian's house, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is bigger than General Zhenyuan's official." ”

"Makes sense,"

"yes, yes." A group of people chattered, but they didn't guess the result.

In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still the same as usual, because today is a rest of the pasture, Qi Morui does not need to go to the early court, and is preparing to practice swords after getting up early.

Suddenly, Wanquan held a pile of clothes and asked to see him at the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, look, which side concubine are you going to greet today?" Wanquan asked very carefully.

"Don't go, just leave your clothes away."

"Huh?" Wanquan who got this reply wanted to cry without tears, this master is also willful, and if he doesn't go, he won't go, this is the prince's side concubine. Forget it, I'd better report it to the queen, His Royal Highness the prince will always listen to the queen's words.

"The prince doesn't plan to go anywhere today, and he hasn't even changed his clothes?" The queen mother has a headache, her son is very stubborn, and no one has changed what she decides, forget it, let him go.

"In that case, then you can send someone to appease the two families, and say that the prince is busy with official business."

"Yes, sissy." Even the queen said so, and Wanquan had no choice but to receive the decree.

After Wanquan left, the queen mother smiled and said to Mama Gui beside her, "This kid is too willful, but it's okay like this, so that the two side concubines will not compete with each other for the limelight in the future." ”

"According to the slave maid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a wise move, no matter which house you go to pick up the side concubine, the other family will be uneven, it is better not to go to anyone."

The queen smiled and nodded, sipping tea slowly, obviously in a good mood.

When Qi Morui had already returned from sword practice and finished bathing, Mu Kexian woke up leisurely and opened his big eyes that looked confused because he had just woken up.

As soon as he raised his head, he was startled by Qi Morui, who was reading a book on the soft couch on the side.

"Why didn't you go to the court today?"

Qi Morui replied without raising his head, "Today is Xiu Mu, no need to go to court." “

As soon as Mu Kexian got up, her brain's reaction was half a beat slower, just running mechanically, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"Someone." Shui Ling immediately came in when she heard the voice, ready to serve Mu Kexian to dress.

When Mu Kexian finished putting on her clothes and packed up herself, her brain returned to normal, and she looked at the man who was sitting in her room at this time, reading a book leisurely, "Aren't you going to marry the side concubine today?" “

Qi Morui replied nonchalantly, "You don't have to go." But you, you can really sleep. As he spoke, he stepped forward and pinched Mu Kexian's nose.

Mu Kexian knew that this was not in order, so she spoke up, "I...... No upset, you don't have to do it for me. “

Qi Morui didn't say anything, just urged Mu Kexian, "It's so late, don't you need breakfast?" If you're not hungry, the kids in your belly should be hungry. “

Mu Kexian didn't say anything more, he didn't go by himself, and it had nothing to do with him. I was still happy to be with him, so I got up and went to eat.

Everyone in the palace was very calm, and it seemed that there was no surprise that the prince did not go to marry the side concubine, and even the emperor did not come forward, so he naturally acquiesced in Qi Morui's actions, but some people's homes are not very peaceful.

Lian Xuerou was still looking forward to the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with great interest, and her father's official position was greater than that of Xia Weiran's father, so she naturally came to her place. What about the side concubine, she finally let Mu Kexian also taste the taste of being left out in the cold. No matter how favored he is, it's not like he is staying alone in the palace now, waiting for his husband to marry another woman. Thinking of this, she couldn't even stop the smile on Xue Rou's face.

"What, you said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not coming back!" Lian Xuerou was full of joy, and the sudden news extinguished all her enthusiasm. "What about Xia Weiran?"

"The news from the palace says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with official business, so he will not come to greet his relatives today."

Lian Xuerou gritted her teeth hatefully, and her clenched hands had already exposed all her emotions. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually did this, is this because we have no one at home?"

"What's the noise, is this what you said?" happened to be heard by Lord Lian Xuerou who was passing by, and Lian Xuerou complained, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does, we will obey." You don't need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry a side concubine, what should you do if you say this and let others hear it? ”

"Daddy taught me a lesson, but this is too bullying!" Lian Xuerou looked at her father's face and said carefully.

Even the adults were not in a very good mood, and they thought that according to their official position, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have to give himself a face and come to marry Rou'er. But the result was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince simply didn't come at all in order to offend anyone, and his daughter was downgraded to an equal footing with the military attaché's daughter, which made Lord Lian very uncomfortable.

"But Rou'er, you have to remember that the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not important now, and if you are brought into the palace, you must win the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, so that your father and I and the entire Lian family can straighten their waists."

"Rou'er remembers, Dad, don't worry!" Lian Xuerou smiled coldly, His Royal Highness the Prince, your favor, I Lian Xuerou is bound to win.

On the other side, the attitude of the Xia family was much calmer.

"Wei Ran, this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not go out of the palace to marry the side concubine, which can be regarded as acknowledging your identity as an equal with another side concubine, if she bullies you in the future, you don't have to be afraid of her."

"Daddy, my daughter has no intention of competing for favor, and no one will have trouble with me."

"That's fine, it's good to live in peace."

Xia Weiran looked at her father with tears in her eyes, "Dad, my daughter can't come back to see you in the future, you have to take care of your body and don't worry about your daughter." ”

"Weiran, Dad, I'm sorry for you. Had to send you to the palace. “

"Dad, it was the emperor who chose me, what does it matter to you, this is my daughter's life, my daughter accepts her fate, I just want my Xia family to be safe."

In the East Palace, Mu Kexian looked at the black decoction in front of her, and felt disgusted in her heart.

While picking up the medicine bowl resignedly, ready to drink it all, he was still complaining, "Why do you drink medicine every day, and then I will become a medicine jar." “

Qi Morui picked up a candied fruit and stuffed it into Mu Kexian's bitter mouth just after drinking the medicine to relieve Mu Kexian's bitterness.

"My belly seems to be a little bigger again." Qi Morui looked at Mu Kexian's belly, "This shows that our children are growing up." “

Mu Kexian touched her belly, felt the little life beating inside, and said faintly, "Child, my mother has drunk a lot of bitter medicine for you, and when you come out, my mother will also want you to taste these medicines, and see that you are not obedient." “

Listening to Mu Kexian's childish complaints, Qi Morui couldn't help laughing. "How old is the child, and you want to take revenge on him."

"It's so hard to be pregnant, I'm only less than five months old, I feel very tired, and when my belly gets bigger in the future, I don't know how to endure it." Mu Kexian has never been tortured like this since she was a child, so she is naturally full of complaints.

"It's okay, I'll be with you, huh?" Qi Morui knew that the woman was coquettish, but he also coaxed her like a stream, holding Mu Kexian and sitting in his arms.

"What, are you really not out of the palace?"

"What are you doing out of the palace?" How could Qi Morui not know what Mu Kexian meant, but he subconsciously didn't want to discuss this issue with Mu Kexian, so he pretended to be stupid and asked her.

"It's just that you are marrying the side concubine, are you really not going?"

Qi Morui didn't know why the little woman had to be entangled in this topic, so she buried her head on Mu Ke's slender neck, greedily absorbing the unique fragrance of the woman, and replied casually, "Don't go." “

"Don't blame me, I didn't stop you. In the future, if the father and queen mother ask, you will have to testify to me. “

It turned out that he was afraid that his father and queen mother would not blame him in the future, so Mu Kexian made it clear to herself in advance.

"Don't worry, I've already told my father, and my father agreed. Peace of mind, right? “

"That's good." Mu Kexian put down her heart at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not show up on the day of marrying the side concubine, and stayed in the princess's room, everyone would think that he was blocking him and not letting the prince appear, Mu Kexian didn't want to suffer this wrongful crime.

"What about you? Would you want me to go? Qi Morui suddenly raised his head, looked into Mu Kexian's eyes and asked.

Mu Kexian didn't know how to answer, and subconsciously she naturally didn't want Qi Morui to go, but as the crown princess, she should be generous to others.

Gritting his teeth, he said in a tangled way, "I...... Naturally, I don't want you to go. After a pause, he continued, "I wish you had married me only in your life. “

Qi Morui smiled, touched Mu Kexian's head, and affectionately pasted the other party's cheek.

"When the side concubine enters the door in the future, if you are unhappy, you must tell me. Well? "Qi Morui doesn't seem to hurt the feelings between the two because of the side concubine, if he has to, he will try to minimize the damage." If someone is disrespectful to you, just deal with it. “

"Aren't you afraid that I will be pampered and arrogant and disturb the East Palace?" Mu Kexian looked at the other party with a look of fear that she would suffer, and she was very moved, but she still teased Qi Morui.

"Don't be afraid, you are the mistress of the East Palace, and the entire East Palace is under your control."

"That's what you said, don't wait for me to punish your concubine in the future, you come to me to settle accounts." Mu Kexian had long believed Qi Morui's words in her heart, but she was still unforgiving.

Qi Morui didn't want to answer Mu Kexian's meaningless question, so he kissed Mu Kexian on the neck for a while, causing Mu Kexian to itch and move.

"Still, huh?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, it's so itchy?" Mu Kexian begged for mercy while avoiding Qi Morui's kiss.

Qi Morui also accepted it when he saw it, he didn't want to make himself full of fire, and no one would solve it.
