Chapter Forty-Four: A Chance Encounter with Yi Fanghua
When Mu Kexian woke up, Qi Morui hadn't woken up yet, probably because he was really tired recently, and Mu Kexian rarely had the opportunity to see Qi Morui's sleeping face. Probably afraid of pressing himself, Qi Morui lay on his side when he slept, with his arms around him. The lips were pursed tightly, and the angular outline added an indifferent temperament to Qi Morui in his sleep, no wonder it is often said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the flower of Kaolin, and he is not approachable at all.
Mu Kexian thought about it seriously, Qi Morui was not like this in front of him, he liked to tease himself for no reason, and he didn't match his usual image at all. I usually didn't see that Qi Morui had such long eyelashes, Mu Kexian couldn't help but reach out and touch them as if he had discovered a new continent.
Practicing martial arts since childhood, Qi Morui has always slept lightly, as soon as Mu Kexian's hand touched his eyes, Qi Morui immediately woke up, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he saw Mu Kexian in his arms disappear. Qi Morui held the hand of Mu Kexian, the culprit who caused him to wake up, and put it on his chest, "Why did you wake up so early today?" ”
"I went to bed early last night, and I didn't have a dream all night, so I woke up naturally. But it's not early, it's almost time for the morning court, you get up quickly! Saying that, Mu Kexian tried to break free of his hand from Qi Morui's big palm, but his strength was too small, and Qi Morui deliberately did not let go, so he tried to pull it several times without success.
"I remember." Mu Kexian's voice still carried the girl who had just woken up, and Qi Morui tightened his arms and hugged them tighter.
"There are other times, let me hold for a while." Qi Morui deliberately spoke in Mu Kexian's ear in a hoarse voice, and Mu Kexian felt numb when he heard it, and there seemed to be a stream of electricity in his heart.
"Why did you come here last night?" Mu Kexian still remembered that Qi Morui woke up himself who was sleeping soundly last night, and she was very moved at the time, after all, it was so late, and Qi Morui came to her side. But when I woke up, the emotion passed, and I began to settle accounts after the autumn, "You still woke me up!" Mu Kexian's tone was accusatory.
"It's been a long time since I've slept with you, don't you want me?" I rarely heard Qi Morui say such fleshy words, but I listened carefully, and I still had a little grievance. is completely different from Qi Morui when he faces others, Mu Kexian is a little touched in his heart, probably only he can see this side.
Seeing that Mu Kexian didn't answer his question for a long time, he raised the head of the person in his arms, "Why don't you answer, do you want me?" ”
"Didn't I just finish eating with you yesterday? What do you want to think about. Mu Kexian knocked off Qi Morui's hand pinching his chin and said funny.
"I asked if you wanted me to sleep with you? Hurry up and answer! Qi Morui just wanted a child who couldn't eat sugar, so he had to have an answer.
"Think, my child and I want you to stay with us, fall asleep together, and wake up together, okay?" Mu Kexian said angrily, not knowing that this person had to be obsessed with this.
"Then I'll be with you a lot in the future!"
"Indeed, you can only have as much, but not every day!" Mu Kexian's words couldn't help but be sour, Mu Kexian didn't realize it, but Qi Morui was stunned.
Seeing that Qi Morui was stunned, Mu Kexian burst out laughing, "I'm kidding, you just have to think about us a lot." ”
Although Mu Kexian was smiling, Qi Morui knew that the laughter did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Slim."
As if she hadn't heard, Mu Kexian didn't answer. just pushed Qi Morui's chest, "Don't get up yet?" If you stay in bed again, you'll have to knock on the door. ”
Wanquan knocked on the door for a while, and Qi Morui heard it, but he didn't want to get up. He knew that there would always be a thorn between him and Mu Kexian, and this thorn could never be pulled out, and even, as long as two people touched this thorn, their hearts would hurt.
Qi Morui responded to the outside at this time, signaling that he had heard. Outside the door, Wan Quan breathed a sigh of relief, he had knocked on the door for so long, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no reaction, and he thought something was wrong!
"Would you like to sleep a little longer?" Qi Morui said to Mu Kexian on the bed.
"No need, after you leave, I'll let Shui Xiu come in and help me dress, you go to the court!"
After Qi Morui left, Shui Xiu came in to help Mu Kexian get dressed neatly.
Mu Kexian took advantage of Shui Xiu's time to comb her hair and glanced out the window, "Hey, the snow has stopped?" ”
"Well, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back yesterday, the snow had stopped falling."
"It is said that Ruixue is a mega year, and this year's snow is not small, and it seems that the harvest should be good next year." Mu Kexian said with relief. Although I have not experienced hunger and cold, I have seen and heard a lot since I was a child, and I naturally know how important the winter snow should be to the lives of ordinary people.
It just so happened that at this time, Aunt Huaqing entered the house, bowed to Mu Kexian, and stood next to her and waited to serve.
"My aunt got up too." Since Aunt Huaqing came, Mu Kexian's various adverse reactions during pregnancy have been more or less reduced, which is all due to her aunt, and Mu Kexian has great respect for Aunt Huaqing.
"Niangniang, the slave maid sees that the snow has stopped, Niangniang has finished breakfast today, and she can go out for a walk appropriately."
"Great, if I stay in the house any longer, I'm going to suffocate." It has been snowing for the past few days, and Mu Kexian is trapped in the house. If you go out, a bunch of people look at you, and you have to take a sedan car, so you don't even have a chance to breathe fresh air.
After breakfast, Mu Kexian couldn't wait to take Aunt Huaqing and Shui Ling out of the Fangyi Palace. I heard that the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are coming, and as a lover of flowers, Mu Kexian has always wanted to go and see, and finally has a chance.
At this time, the snowflakes have not completely turned into water, hanging on the petals of plum blossoms, red with a little white, proud plum reflecting snow, and it is also the most attractive in the imperial garden.
The snow has been falling for several days, and almost all the people in the palace can't go out of their palace gates, so as soon as the snow stops, the only garden where you can walk around at will, the imperial garden naturally has a lot of people.
No, Mu Kexian met an old acquaintance, Yi Fanghua.
has been grounded for several months, and Yi Fanghua can be regarded as having endured all the hardships. The palace is full of people who see the wind and rudder, and when they see that they have fallen out of favor, they deduct their share of the rules, and they are not a problem to speak ill of each other.
Fortunately, he begged the queen mother several times and kept admitting his mistakes, so he was exempted from his grounding and released himself. I heard that it was the crown princess who proposed to the queen mother to exempt herself from punishment, and the queen mother agreed, so Yi Fanghua always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Mu Kexian and thank her by the way.
"The crown princess is well." Yi Fanghua respectfully bowed to Mu Kexian, and Mu Kexian also returned the salute.
"Thank you to the crown princess for speaking for me in front of the queen mother, so that I can be released." Yi Fanghua's tone was full of sincerity, and it seemed that he was sincere.
Mu Kexian just said it in front of the queen at that time, Yi Fanghua just said the wrong thing, and there was no actual damage to herself, so why not help others, Yi Fanghua has already received punishment.
"It's okay, you haven't done anything wrong, it's just that the queen mother is too worried about me."
"The Crown Princess has a large number of them, and I am grateful for not bothering with me. At that time, I was just too envious of you, the crown princess, so I spoke wildly. ”
"Envy?"
"Crown Princess, you are favored by the crown prince, and you are about to have a child, or the status of the crown princess, where is not enviable? Compared to you, I am nothing, I am no longer in my prime, and I am not favored, and I will die of old age in the palace sooner or later. ”
Mu Kexian couldn't say anything comforting, because the fate of the women in the palace was like this. If he doesn't like Qi Morui, then Yi Fanghua's situation is his situation more than ten years later, how can he not be sad.
"Knock, what am I telling you? Crown Princess, you are a blessed person and a generous person, and you will definitely live a good life in the palace. ”
"If Fanghua has something in the future, I will definitely try my best to help, and I will still be able to do it in the future." After thinking about it, Mu Kexian could only say this, this is also what she can do for Yi Fanghua.
Mu Kexian was naturally referring to Qi Morui after he ascended the throne, and he would still be able to help Yi Fanghua if he could, after all, he was also a poor person. Although Yi Fanghua is a little reckless, she is not a stupid person, and she is very excited about what Mu Kexian said. Like himself, no pet and no children, maybe he will die in the palace in the future, if he can get the help of the future harem master, at least life will be a little better.
"Thank you Crown Princess Niangniang, if there is anything to happen to Niangniang in the future, I will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up." Yi Fanghua is also a temperamental person, since Mu Kexian has already said it, he must also have something in return.
"Then I'll thank Yi Fanghua here first." Mu Kexian also has a good attitude towards the other party's overtures. In the palace, it is better to make a friend than to make an enemy, regardless of whether the other party is useful to you or not, it is always harmless.
After shopping for a while, Mu Kexian left the Imperial Garden.
On the way, Shui Ling kept saying, "Niangniang, why do you want to help Yi Fanghua intercede, she is obviously jealous of you." ”
Mu Kexian said nonchalantly, "Okay, she's also a poor person, it's okay to help her." Looking at Aunt Huaqing, who didn't speak on the side, Mu Kexian asked, "Auntie, what do you say I did?" ”
"The slave maid thinks that the mother has to be forgiving and forgiving in order to win people's hearts."
"Hear me, Shui Ling, my aunt also said that I did the right thing. Be forgiving and forgiving! Mu Kexian gently tapped Shui Ling's forehead with her hand and said with a smile.
Shui Ling touched his forehead and moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything, okay, what Niangniang said was right.
"By the way, Auntie, I'm almost done with the plums you made last time, so you can make some more!" Mu Kexian suddenly became a little greedy and wanted to eat plums.
"The slave maid just pickled another jar of plums last night, and you can eat it in a few days!" Aunt Huaqing also knows the nature of Mu Kexian's little gluttonous cat, and she has been ready for a long time.
"Great, I want to eat drunk chicken at noon today, Shui Ling, you go and tell the imperial dining room."
"Mother, there is wine in the drunken chicken, you can't eat it."
"Okay, then eat stewed chicken, okay."
