Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sleepless Nights

At night, Qi Morui naturally couldn't stay in Fangyi Palace, although he wanted to, but he took into account Mu Kexian's reputation. If it spreads, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed at the pregnant Crown Princess on the day of the side concubine's big day, and it must be Mu Kexian who was attacked by rumors, maybe those officials should be on the side, saying that Mu Kexian is jealous, occupies His Royal Highness the Prince, and is not worthy of being the crown princess.

At dusk, Qi Morui was practicing calligraphy alone in the study, Wanquan bent over and came in, and carefully asked Qi Morui, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's already time to go, look, which side concubine is you going to?" ”

When Wanquan said this, he was also very worried in his heart, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the Fangyi Palace, he has been calm, and then when he came to the study, he kept his head bored and kept practicing calligraphy. In this way, who can't see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a very bad mood, but who made himself so unlucky and got such an errand.

Qi Morui didn't answer, but kept practicing calligraphy. Wan Quanjian didn't reply, and was about to retreat quietly, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to speak up, "Go and carry the Moon Palace." ”

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, it was the Xia side concubine in the Moon Hall who won the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, but it was a pity that the side concubine of the Fang Pavilion was loved. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the prince's gourd, but he chose the daughter of General Zhenyuan, who has a lower official position, to sleep first, does the prince mean to reuse General Zhenyuan?

As for why Qi Morui chose Xia Weiran, the reason is not as complicated as Wan Quan thought, but it is because Mu Kexian once expressed her dislike for Lian Xuerou, since you have to choose one horizontally and vertically, it is better to choose one that sounds pleasant.

In the Hall of the Carrying Moon, Xingyu, the personal maid beside Xia Weiran, walked in happily, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come here tonight, and you have won the first place." ”

"Hmm." Xia Weiran was not very happy, she still sat motionless on the bed, and her expression did not even change.

"Miss, why aren't you happy at all?"

"You go down first, and then come in and tell me when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to arrive!"

"Yes, miss."

Xia Weiran took out a hairpin from the bedside and held it in her hand, she already had a beloved, and marrying into the East Palace was a last resort, but ......

Qi Morui walked on the road, subconsciously walked towards Mu Kexian's palace, and still carefully reminded behind him, "Your Highness, this is the Moon Palace." ”

Only then did he turn around and arrived at the Moon Palace.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Qi Morui walked straight in, and saw a woman in a light red wedding dress, sitting upright on the edge of the bed, and there was a wedding name for picking a hippo next to her.

Qi Morui couldn't help but think of Mu Ke's appearance in a happy dress, because the phoenix crown was too heavy and complained to himself when the squeamish voice was vivid.

"All of you go down!" Qi Morui didn't care about everyone's reaction, and directly blocked everyone.

After everyone retreated, Xia Weiran clenched the hairpin in her hand, ready to wait for Qi Morui to get close to her, and she would be forced to die.

"Put it down, Lone won't touch you." Qi Morui said lightly.

Xia Weiran let go of the hairpin in her hand in surprise and made a "snap". Falling to the ground, the sound was exceptionally crisp. She slowly lifted the hijab from her head, and saw Qi Morui sitting at the table looking at her for a long time.

"Lone is not yet reduced to a woman who has someone else in mind." Qi Morui stared at Xia Weiran and continued, "Do you know the consequences of making a private decision for life before marriage? “

"I naturally know, but emotional things are not something that I won't do because there are consequences." Xia Weiran looked at Qi Morui with a condemning gaze, "Since Your Highness knows, why did you choose me as a side concubine?" “

Qi Morui did not shy away from it, and said directly, "It was you who went to investigate after my father gave me the marriage." “

This is naturally not to blame Qi Morui, Xia Weiran also knows the truth that the holy decree cannot be violated. She knelt directly in front of Qi Morui, "I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fulfill the sincere heart of the courtiers." “

"Then you have to think clearly, this is a lifetime of no favor."

"The courtiers understand, but they are willing to do it."

"Okay, Lone promises you. It's okay to talk to the crown princess more, no one in the East Palace chats with her, she is very bored. “

"Thank Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your grace, the courtiers will go to the Fangyi Hall more often to accompany Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." After speaking, he kowtowed to Qi Morui.

"Lone will sleep outside tonight, you can rest early!" After Qi Morui finished speaking, he turned around and left.

On the contrary, on the other hand, in the Fang Pavilion, Lian Xuerou was not so calm.

"What, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually went to the Moon Palace?" Lian Xuerou's tone was very bad, and she repeatedly asked her personal palace maid to pick jade.

"Concubine Xia even has the lights off there!"

Lian Xuerou tried her best to control her expression, pretending not to care.

"Mother, what can I do?" On the night of the cave room, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not come, and the words coming out of the palace and outside the palace tomorrow will definitely be unfavorable to the young lady.

"What's the panic, it's just like this, you can't snatch His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over now!"

"Then mother, are we going to turn off the lights now?"

"Naturally, no, not only will the lights not be turned off, but we will also keep the lights on for a night."

Although Caiyu didn't understand her master's intentions, she still did everything and ordered Lian Xuerou's orders.

His Royal Highness the Prince, will you feel a little guilty in the face of a woman who has been waiting for you all night? Although he is not favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, at least the news that he is obsessed with the Crown Prince will definitely spread, and women who often give their feelings are the easiest to be pitied.

In the Fangyi Palace, Mu Kexian was holding a book and reading, but it had been a long time since the page was opened, and Mu Kexian had not seen her turn it, and her thoughts had long since lost her mind.

"Mother, mother."

"What's wrong?"

"Niangniang, this is the longan lotus seed soup you just ordered the kitchen to make, do you want to use it now?" Shui Xiu looked at Mu Kexian with a bowl of porridge and asked.

"Where to put it first, I'll drink it later."

"Niangniang, reading at night is not good for your eyes, so let's read less for a while!"

"Why are you even starting to care about me now?" Mu Kexian raised her head to look at Shui Xiu, and said with a smile, "I know, so I didn't look into it." “

Mu Kexian got up and walked to the table, took a small sip of lotus seed soup.

"Which concubine did the prince go to tonight?"

Shui Xiu and Shui Ling looked at each other, and neither answered.

"Say, since I dare to ask, I'm mentally prepared."

"Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Concubine Xia of the Moon Palace."

Mu Kexian stirred the porridge in the bowl and said slowly, "I heard that Concubine Xia is a complete beauty, and her appearance is probably above me." “

"What's the matter, the slave maid secretly went to see Concubine Xia, but she was just better looking than ordinary people, and it was definitely not as good as Niangniang's flower and moon appearance."

"You girl, on such an important day today, when did you go to peek at Concubine Xia?"

Shui Ling didn't look angry when she heard Mu Kexian's tone, so she replied cautiously, "At dinner today, the slave maid went around and went to the Moon Palace, and secretly glanced through the window. “

"Don't go there if you have nothing to do in the future, including the Chuan Fang Pavilion, so as not to be calculated."

"Yes, sissy."

"What about the concubine?"

"Even the side concubine has not turned off the lights yet, the entire palace is brightly lit, looking at this posture, it is estimated that it will be lit up all night."

Mu Kexian drank half a bowl of porridge, then put it down, took the Jinpa on the side and wiped his mouth, "Let's rest too, wait for me to bathe first." “

"Niangniang's skin is getting better and better, crystal clear."

"Although Mama Fu is more strict, the prescription she gave is really good, and I also think that my skin has become whiter recently."

By the time Mu Kexian packed up and went to bed, it was already early, "You guys go down." ”

Mu Kexian lay on the bed and reached out to touch the other side of the bed, but it was cold. Tonight, he is not by his side, but by the side of another woman, but he will hug others as if he were holding himself.

Thinking about it, Mu Kexian's tears fell, wetting the pillow.

Although I told myself countless times in my heart that this was something I had to endure as a crown princess, and although I had done countless psychological comforts before this, I still couldn't withstand the long night alone.

This is just the beginning, and I can't bear it anymore, how to spend the countless nights in the future. Mu Kexian touched her bulging belly, but her mother was lucky to have you. Mother will love you well and take good care of you, child.

This night, it was not only Mu Kexian who couldn't sleep, but also Qi Morui.

He was lying on the bed, thinking about Mu Kexian involuntarily, thinking about how sad she should be when she was lying on the bed alone.

On that day, he went to explain to his father that he was not willing to go to any family to pick up his relatives today, and his father asked himself a question, "Rui'er, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

I didn't know what my father's question meant, so I asked my father instead.

The emperor replied, "As the future lord of the world, you can't be emotionally attached to just one woman, have you forgotten?" ”

Yes, have you forgotten your father's teachings? I didn't forget, so I married the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the daughter of General Zhenyuan as side concubines, so I lived up to Xian Xian.

At the same time, Mu Fu, which is far away from the palace, also has difficulty sleeping.

"Master, will our family be bullied?" Mrs. Mu asked worriedly while sewing the baby's coat in her hand.

"Who dares? Xian Xian is the crown princess of the saint, the prince and concubine of the righteous name, you just put your heart in your stomach. ”

"Hey, but our family is simple and simple, I'm afraid she will be calculated."

"It's useless to think too much, go to sleep quickly." Master Mu is also uncomfortable in his heart, his pampered daughter in the palm of his hand is suffering grievances in the palace at this time, but the parents can't do anything, they can only wait.

"Slender has been smart since childhood, this ...... She'll understand. Master Mu muttered.

Mrs. Mu put down the work in her hand, "Fortunately, Xian Xian was pregnant before the side concubine, whether it was a man or a woman, she was the first grandson of the royal family, and it can be regarded as a guarantee." Master, I want to go into the palace to see my daughter

"I'm afraid it won't work these days. As soon as the prince married the side concubine, the princess's family entered the palace, just like the royal bullying Xian Xian, in a few days, the lady will go again! ”

"Okay."
