Chapter 19: Misunderstandings Arise
After Mrs. Mu left, Mu Kexian asked Shui Ling beside her with a calm face, "Who told you not to tell me about the draft?" ”
Shui Ling had never seen Mu Kexian so angry, and even knelt down, "Niangniang." It was ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the mother should not be bothered by these things when she is pregnant. ”
Mu Kexian smiled helplessly, and tears suddenly fell, "Then, will you tell me when he marries the side concubine?" ”
"Niangniang, no, the prince ......"
"You all go down, and I'll be alone for a while."
"But ......" Shui Ling wanted to say something, but was pulled by the arm of Shui Xiu on the side and went out.
"Didn't you see that the mother was in a bad mood?" As soon as he left the door, Shui Ling broke open and asked Shui Xiu.
"It's just that I'm in a bad mood, so I have to stay alone, just wait for the mother to figure it out for herself." Shui Xiu naturally felt sorry for Mu Kexian, but she obviously understood that it was better for Mu Kexian to be alone at this time.
"You say, after the prince has a side concubine, will he still treat our mother like now?"
Shui Xiu was taken aback by Shui Ling's bold remarks, and immediately stretched out his head to look around, and was relieved to see that no one was there, "Are you crazy, say so!" “
"Aren't I worried about my mother?" Shui Ling is obviously a simple-minded person.
"You remember, you can't say this easily in the future, there will be more and more people in the East Palace in the future, and we must not make trouble for Miss." Shui Xiu admonished.
When Shui Ling was said this, he obviously understood what was at stake, nodded firmly, and said, "I'll remember." ”
Mu Kexian sat in the room by herself, thinking about what her mother had told her just now. "Xian Xian, you know, your father once had an aunt, and I heard that she was still the old lady's distant niece. When I was pregnant with your brother, the old lady took a concubine for your father, and at that time I thought that I must compete with that woman, so I went to find trouble with that woman every day. Once, when I tossed in front of the old lady, your father was so angry that he didn't give me a good look for a month, and I realized that men thought it was normal for them to take concubines. Later, I began to learn to be generous, to be a good wife and mother, and the concubine was not in good health, so she went within a few years. ”
"My mother just wants to tell you, don't let yourself suffer like your mother back then. My mother feels sorry for you, but I hope you can be safe. ”
Mu Kexian heard her mother say this for the first time, she always thought that her parents were inseparable, and her father didn't even have an aunt, those were just illusions, and her mother was also very bitter in her heart, and every woman who forced a smile on her face to ask for warmth for her husband was very bitter.
So what about yourself, do you have to endure it, watching the people entering the East Palace one by one, and seeing that there are different women around your husband.
After thinking quietly for a while, Mu Kexian spoke up and asked the waiter to come in, "I'm a little hungry, Shui Ling go and bring me a bowl of lotus seed soup!" ”
Shui Ling hurriedly responded, and saw that Mu Kexian's face was much better than just now.
However, Mu Kexian saw the two girls trembling and observing her appearance, and she was very funny, "What's the matter, your mother is fine." ”
"Mother, we're just ......"
"Okay, I know you two are worried about me, but it's okay." The two girls have followed her since they were children, and their affection is unusual, and Mu Kexian knows the two of them very well.
"Oh, by the way, why didn't you see Mama Zheng?" Mu Kexian didn't see anyone this afternoon, so she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Niangniang, you forgot, Mama Zheng said that she wanted to understand the precautions during pregnancy, and she has been gone for several hours, and she has not come back yet, so she must have recognized it as true."
"Alright, go get me something to eat. Also, remember, don't tell the prince that I already know about the draft, I want him, tell me personally. ”
"Hey, mother!" Shui Ling saw that Mu Kexian was in a good mood, and even raised his tone.
Outside the Fangyi Palace, Mama Zheng stared at the medicine in her hand with an incredulous expression. Recalling the conversation just now, a cold sweat broke out.
"You're Mama Zheng."
"Who are you, and where did you take me, this is the palace."
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you have to know whose life I hold in my hands." As he spoke, he threw a package at her feet.
After Mama Zheng opened it, it was the talisman of her grandson Jindou, which she made herself before entering the palace, and inside was the talisman that she specially went to Lingyin Temple to ask for.
"What are you going to do, what are you going to do to the golden bean."
"It's up to you to see if you're doing to my satisfaction. Put this bottle of medicine in Mu Kexian's diet, and I will release your grandson after the matter is completed, otherwise you will end up. “
"Who are you and who are you?" But no one answered.
Mama Zheng put away the medicine, took a few deep breaths, and walked into the palace, Mu Kexian grew up with her, she really couldn't do it, but the man used her grandson to blackmail her.
"Mama Zheng, you're back! How did it take so long to go? Seeing that Mama Zheng had finally returned, Shui Ling asked casually, "What about Niangniang just now?" ”
"Ah, I met a little girl on the road, quite like a fellow countryman, so I chatted a few more words, but I didn't expect to delay a lot of time." Mama Zheng was strong and calm, and replied with a smile.
Shui Ling didn't notice Mama Zheng's abnormality, and continued to chat with the other party, "Fellow, how good that is, no wonder Mama Zheng forgot the time you chatted." It's a pity that I was bought into Mufu when I was a child, and I don't remember where my home is. ”
originally thought that Mama Zheng would comfort herself at least two words, but no one answered after chatting for a long time, so she couldn't help but wonder a little, so she looked back at her and saw that the other party was running away. sighed with emotion, if you are really old, you can run away from chatting with others, it seems that you have to talk to Shui Xiu, let Mama Zheng rest more, and the two of them usually share a little more.
In the evening, after Qi Morui returned to the palace, he went to Fangyi Palace to visit Mu Kexian as usual. Mu Kexian's mood has improved a lot, and she can't see anything at all under Mu Kexian's deliberate cover-up.
"Your Highness, have you been doing a lot lately? Look at you with a tired face. Mu Kexian personally brought a cup of tea to Qi Morui, who was sitting on the chair and rubbing his brows.
Today, his father specially mentioned the draft to him, asking him to choose two side concubines among the daughters of several families, and the queen mother on the other side has been preparing for the draft, presumably in less than five days, show girls from all over the country will enter the palace, he really doesn't know how to talk to Mu Kexian.
"By the way, I've seen that everything in the palace has been busy recently, and the queen mother is too, is there something big going on in the palace?" Mu Ke asked Qi Morui as if unintentionally.
Qi Morui really couldn't speak, for some reason, every time he thought of the draft, he would feel like he was sorry for Mu Kexian in his heart, especially now that she was pregnant with her own child, she didn't want to tell her. That's why he ordered everyone in the East Palace to keep their mouths shut, and even the queen mother herself specially explained. I wanted to find a suitable time to tell, and again and again, again and again, it was now.
Every time I saw Mu Ke's pure eyes, I couldn't say my words in an instant.
Mu Kexian's all reactions to Qi Morui came into view, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, at this time, she was still unwilling to confess to herself, wasn't she worth telling her, he and his children were such a status in his heart, didn't he even bother to tell him?
"What's the matter, it's just that the palace has strengthened management, the queen mother has been busy recently, you are pregnant with a child, you don't have to worry about it." Qi Morui still decided to hide it, wait another day, and wait for tomorrow when he confessed to Mu Kexian.
Mu Kexian smiled lightly and said slowly, "That's good, I'll go see if the meal is ready?" The moment he turned his head, a tear fell instantly.
Qi Morui was upset that he had lied to Mu Kexian, and when he heard that the other party was going out, he was naturally willing, so he quickly responded. But he didn't notice......
During the meal, neither of them spoke, one was afraid to speak because of guilt, and the other was reluctant to speak because of heartache.
Even Shui Ling, who has always been nervous, felt that the atmosphere was very strange, but whether there was a quarrel or not, the prince was still the same gentle and considerate, the princess was still the same understanding, and even the conversation between the two was exactly the same as before.
"I'll go to the study tonight to deal with things, and you can rest early."
"Okay, Your Highness should also pay attention to your body, don't be too busy."
"Well, go to sleep!"
Qi Morui sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at Mu Kexian's sleeping face, and only after making sure that the other party was asleep did he say, "I'm sorry", and then left quietly.
After he left, the man in the bed opened his eyes, "Why don't you tell the truth and tell me that it's that hard?" Do you want to wait until the day you marry the concubine and say congratulations? Isn't it worth telling me? ”
What am I in your heart?
The next morning, Mu Kexian woke up early, sat up and called Shui Ling.
"Mother, you're awake." Shui Ling heard the movement and immediately came in.
"Where's Mama Zheng? Why didn't you see it? "In the past, Mama Zheng came in the morning.
"Mama Zheng had a nightmare last night, she had a fever early this morning, and she is still asleep?" Shui Ling said sadly with a distressed face.
When Mu Kexian heard this, she instantly became anxious, "Can you invite a medical girl?" “
"Please, Cai Gui went early in the morning, prescribed medicine, and is now asleep."
"I'll take a look." Mu Kexian quickly finished dressing, and after a little dressing, she went to see Mama Zheng who lived in the side hall.
It happened that it was Mama Zheng who woke up.
"Mama, how are you feeling now?" Mu Kexian asked with concern.
"Niangniang, the slave is sick, you go out quickly, it will not be good for you to be sick after the illness." Mama Zheng said weakly while lying on the bed.
"It's fine, but you need to take care of yourself. After that, you can rest well and wait until you are well. ”
Mama Zheng looked at Mu Kexian's concerned eyebrows, and her heart struggled even more, she really didn't know what to do. To put it mildly, Mu Kexian is like her own daughter, how can she do anything to hurt the other party's child, not to mention that she still believes in herself so much. But his little grandson is only three years old. What should I do, what a wicked do?
