"Wait a while, and the slave will go in." Wanquan lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Thank you, Father-in-law." Mu Kexian nodded and waited quietly outside. The study is an important place, no matter how Mu Kexian is, he also knows the rules of the harem that he is not allowed to interfere in politics, so he naturally will not exceed it and break in without permission.

In the study, Qi Morui sat on the stool and closed his eyes slightly, but he kept paying attention to the words of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. When he saw Wanquan coming in, he thought he was urging him to have lunch, frowning and wanting to say that he didn't need it first, but Wanquan bent down first and said.

"Your Highness, Niangniang is here."

Qi Morui reacted and turned to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, "Okay, you go back first, and we will discuss it tomorrow." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said yes, bowed and turned his head and went out, feeling relaxed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat there, exuding a cold air all over his body, and from time to time he opened his eyes to take a look, which made people unable to resist! It's just a sentence that the lady is here, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put down his political affairs and turned around to greet him, presumably the princess has arrived. It seems that the rumors are true, the crown princess is the top favorite of His Royal Highness the prince, and he has to deal with the prime minister, and he has to pick another gift for the New Year this year.

"What are you doing standing, why don't you welcome the princess in." Qi Morui saw that Wan Quan didn't go out after speaking, and scared Wan Quan out with a scolding.

"Mother, please."

When Mu Kexian went out, he happened to meet the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Please be nice to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately saluted.

Mu Kexian nodded slightly at the other party, "Squire, please, it's hard work." With that, he lifted the curtain and went into the house.

Seeing Mu Kexian come in, Qi Morui got up from the chair and walked over to help Mu Kexian. "It's so cold, why did you think about coming?"

Mu Kexian motioned for Shui Ling to put the food she brought over on the table, and then replied, "If I don't come, when will you prepare lunch again?" ”

Taking advantage of Shui Ling's efforts to help Mu Ke untie the fox fur cloak, Qi Morui asked Wan Quan to put the meal out and put it on the table. Reaching out to touch the woman's hand, he walked all the way outside, and stood for a while, Mu Ke's hand was definitely not very warm. Qi Morui clenched Mu Kexian's hand tightly, and told Shui Ling to bring Tang Pozi over, and said with a dissatisfied face, "Don't send it in the future, it's so cold outside." ”

Mu Kexian said indifferently, "It's okay, it's just that I forgot to bring a hand warmer when I left today." With Qi Morui's strength, he pulled him to the table and sat down, "Come and try the newly cooked dishes in the small kitchen, as well as the soup I specially ordered to cook." ”

"Did you go to see the queen mother today?" Qi Morui took a chopstick dish and put it in Mu Kexian's bowl, and said casually.

"Well, I haven't been to ask for peace for a few days, so I'm going to take a look."

"It's cold, since the queen mother is exempt from asking for peace, don't go, the road is slippery in snow." Mu Kexian didn't directly agree to this, although the queen mother has given grace, but she can't use grace to keep going, maybe there are rumors that she is pampered and arrogant!

Mu Kexian hummed casually, Qi Morui was perfunctory when he heard it, and he didn't take what he said to heart. frowned and just wanted to continue to say a few words, Mu Kexian spoke first, "It's not today, otherwise the queen mother should blame me for not taking good care of you?" ”

Mu Kexian remembered today's meeting with Lian Xuerou, and she was angry. In total, I haven't gotten along well with Lian Xuerou, and I don't usually have any contact, so I always feel that this woman has been targeting me, and this feeling is even better after today. Hmph, Qi Morui has never stopped him when he goes to her, and he doesn't know how to make an enmity with her.

Sensing the unhappiness in Mu Kexian's tone, Qi Morui guessed that something unhappy had happened to the queen mother today. "What's wrong, someone is embarrassing you?" Qi Morui thought that his mother was embarrassed, but it was difficult to explain directly, so he had to ask. But the queen mother has always been very good to Xian Xian, how could she reprimand her for no reason?

As soon as Mu Kexian heard it, she knew that Qi Morui had misunderstood that the queen mother had a conflict with herself, and immediately denied it, but she couldn't affect the mother-son relationship between the queen mother and Her Royal Highness the crown prince because of herself, not to mention that today was not about the queen's mother.

"What's the matter? I'm carrying a talisman now, who would dare to provoke me without anything? Mu Kexian didn't plan to tell Qi Morui about today's events, mainly because she disdained to do such a thing as saying bad things about people behind the scenes. Mu Kexian and the women in the backyard, except for Xia Weiran, who are pleasing to the eye, everyone else has an attitude of ignoring them, and they don't want to have anything to do with them at all, and they usually have no contact.

"If you don't say it, I have my own way of knowing, foolproof!" Qi Morui thought that Mu Kexian was really wronged, and he was suddenly a little annoyed, who dared to be angry with the little woman. Seeing that Mu Kexian insisted on not saying anything, he directly called Wanquan to inquire about the news.

It's a trivial matter, and I didn't suffer a loss, I just complained just now, I didn't mean anything else, seeing that Qi Morui didn't mean to turn the page if he didn't tell him, so he had to say, "I met Concubine Lian at the queen mother today, and her words made me uncomfortable." ”

Qi Morui put down his chopsticks, and his tone was a little heavy, "What did she say?" ”

"She just said that I went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, deliberately didn't take her, and secretly said that I didn't care about you!" Mu Kexian's tone was a little anxious, hum, I don't want to say that I have to let people say it, see how you react to your side concubine.

"Who said you don't care about me anymore, it's just a lie!" Qi Morui didn't have compassion for Lian Xuerou, and directly called Wanquan, "Go to the Fang Pavilion, ban the concubine, and wait until the Chinese New Year to release it." ”

Mu Kexian was a little reluctant in her heart, but just her own words made the other party grounded. couldn't help but say, "Actually, she is a little right, I really didn't fulfill my obligations as a crown princess, and I usually ignore them." ”

"It's okay, the backyard is fully responsible, and you can raise the baby with peace of mind." Qi Morui didn't care very much, in his opinion, Mu Kexian's first thing now was to take care of his body, and other things in the East Palace would be handled by others. But......

Seeing that Mu Kexian opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, Qi Morui pointed to the food on the table dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you hungry?" Eat quickly, you don't have to worry about these things. ”

Mu Kexian lingered in her heart, hum, I brought the food, and now I'm in a hurry to eat. But he didn't say anything, and continued to eat the food in the bowl, this grounding was Qi Morui's order, and it was none of his business.

Mu Kexian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and he felt almost full, but Qi Morui saw that the little thing Mu Kexian ate was purely no different from raising a rabbit, so he used it so much, and he was still a person with a double body.

"That's full, eat a little more, huh?" As he spoke, he put a chopstick into Mu Kexian's bowl and shredded chicken, he remembered that she loved to eat this the most.

"No, I'm full." Mu Kexian frowned and looked at the dish that Qi Morui was clipping, obviously not wanting to eat it anymore.

"Then have another bowl of soup, and see how good this tastes."

"Don't."

"How did you eat so little and be sure you were full?" Qi Morui was obviously very dissatisfied with the woman's rejection twice in a row, thinking that she had eaten too little, no wonder she always felt that Mu Kexian was pregnant just because she had a big belly, and the flesh on her cheeks didn't grow much.

"I'm really full." Mu Kexian really can't eat it, her belly has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and she has the size of a small watermelon, and she has only been like this for seven months, Mu Kexian really doesn't know what her belly will look like when she is full-term! It's probably up to my stomach, and my appetite hasn't been good lately, and I'm full after eating a little bit, and I can't hold it up if I eat again.

"Then I see that you are still very thin, and you are the same as before except for your belly. No matter how much you eat or how fat you get, I won't dislike you. ”

Qi Morui thought that Mu Kexian was disgusted with eating such a little because he had gained weight, and hurriedly expressed his opinion. However, Mu Kexian didn't believe this, if she was like a cook in the imperial dining room at the beginning, she didn't believe that he would choose herself as the crown princess, and she would have lost the election a long time ago.

"No, it's Aunt Huaqing who was found by the queen mother, and she is very good at taking care of pregnant women. The decoction she gave was really useful. "The queen mother found Mama Fu for the first time, although she is also very experienced, but if she had followed her, Mu Kexian would have become a ball long ago, how could she still have her current figure.

"It's because the child has grown up, but Aunt Huaqing said it's normal, just eat less and eat more."

Qi Morui heard that it was normal, so he put his mind at ease, but he still told Mu Kexian uneasily, "You can't starve yourself for the sake of your figure." ”

Mu Kexian thought it was funny, but she thought that Qi Morui cared about her body, so she didn't say anything, and turned her head to pick up the dish for Qi Morui, "You taste this bamboo shoot, it's delicious." ”

Qi Morui finished eating quickly and accompanied Mu Kexian to sit on the soft collapse to eat. Mu Kexian drank the diet tea in the bowl without taking a sip, and her eyes were about to narrow.

Qi Morui looked at Mu Kexian who looked sleepy when he was full, and pinched the other party's face, "Get up, little lazy pig." If you fall asleep here, you'll catch a cold. ”

Mu Kexian dissatisfiedly knocked off Qi Morui's hand on his face, and his sleepiness was half dispelled.

"I'll sleep with you in there, huh?" Qi Morui hugged Mu Kexian and asked softly.

Mu Kexian borrowed Qi Morui's hand, slowly stood up, yawned, and said, "No need, I'll go back, so as not to disturb you here." ”

"Where is it bothering me?" Qi Morui didn't want Mu Kexian to go back, and in his selfish heart he still wanted the other party to accompany him for a while. "Or shall I send you back?"

"I'd better go back by myself, you still have a lot of things to deal with." Mu Kexian knew that Qi Morui was probably busy after eating with her, so there was no need to delay Qi Morui's time.

"Then I'll send someone to send you back in a sedan chair? Otherwise, the road is too slippery, and I don't worry. Qi Morui followed Mu Kexian to stand up, gently wrapped one hand around her, and touched Mu Kexian's stomach with the other hand, his eyes were as gentle as water.

"The kid hasn't been bothering you lately!" Qi Morui looked at the belly that was getting bigger and bigger, and he was also worried.

"It's okay, the child is very well-behaved, and he has always felt sorry for his mother."
