Duan Xue hated never changed her name, and ordinary people who don't know the inside story really don't know that she and Mu Zhen are cousins. Even the didn't know about it.

But the Emperor apparently knew. Therefore, the virtuous concubine Park in the palace lives in the same palace with Lee Hyun-hye; Concubine Duan Xue hated and lived in the same place with the imperial concubine Mu Zhen, such an arrangement was not unreasonable. The emperor generally followed the rules, but let the concubines in the palace get along better. Subtle intrigues are inevitable, but the contradictions are far from intensifying.

The lady said pitifully, Duan Xue hated compassion, and promised to help her introduce the imperial concubine. But Xu Niangzi shouldn't know that it would be more effective for Duan Xue to lobby the imperial concubine and speak; were just lucky to find the right person.

Duan Xue hated to let the wait, changed her clothes, and went out.

On a rainy day, the color of the palace seems to be darker after the palace is wet. The glazed tiles in the sun seem to have precipitated, as if there is a little more ink quiet, and the surroundings are very quiet.

Duan Xue hated came to the outside of the main hall and met a female official who came out of it. She asked, "Is the imperial concubine raising her body in the palace?" ”

Duan Xue hated that she was not very familiar with this female official. But the female officer is obviously a talkative person, and as soon as she asked her, she immediately opened the conversation: "Niangniang is still in confinement, and she can't go out in this weather, and she can't blow the wind." The eunuchs found a milky nurse for His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but the lady wanted to breastfeed herself, so she finally persuaded ......"

The female official's voice lowered, and she whispered: "It turns out that the imperial concubine doesn't know that if the woman breastfeeds herself, her breasts will become loose and sagging in the future. As long as you find a nurse to do it for you, although it will be uncomfortable at first, it will be good for your body in the future. ”

"Oh." Duan Xue hated to hear her say a lot, and only responded to one word.

The female officer's expression became a little weird, as if her mouth was suddenly gagged by something, and she looked at Duan Xue for a while, and then the female officer's face showed a sudden look, and she bent her knees and said, "You go to Niangniang's dormitory and say goodbye." ”

Duan Xue hated and went to the place where Mu Zhen lived. As soon as she walked into the dormitory, Mu Zhen showed a happy look when she saw her, that kind of close look was something that others didn't have.

"The imperial concubine is well." Duan Xue hated in front of the palace maids, and squatted down slightly to salute.

Mu Zhen handed the infant second prince to the nurse next to her, and waved her hand: "You take care of Zhanqi, and I will talk to Concubine De for a while." ”

"Yes." The crowd walked out.

Because the female officer said a lot of words just now, Duan Xue hated subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhen's chest and found that her chest was a little wet, revealing a silhouette that was difficult to look at.

Mu Zhen pinched the satin blouse, shook it slightly, and whispered: "Now it's finally as big as you, but after a while, I have to change back to my original shape." ”

Duan Xue hated and smiled. The imperial concubine really didn't have any arrogance in front of her, and she was still so intimate when she spoke.

"Sit down." Mu Zhen casually pointed to the chair again, and a smile appeared on her face. Her peachy face is smaller than Duan Xue's, her facial features are quite exquisite, her big eyes and small mouth smile and look very sincere, which makes people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze. Even though she has given birth to a child, she still doesn't look much different, and her temperament is still a little playful.

Every time Duan Xue hated Mu Zhen, she couldn't help but be very envious in her heart. Because only girls who have not suffered much since they were children and rarely see sinister girls in the world often get the kindness of others, can they give people such a kind and beautiful feeling?

"Today, Xu Zhang's daughter came to see me." Duan Xue said hatefully.

Mu Zhen's head was slightly on the side, making a thoughtful look, "Xu Zhang's daughter? ”

Duan Xue hated and said: "The princess who is retired by King Zhao." ”

"Oh!" Mu Zhen looked suddenly enlightened. Her big clear and watery eyes, as if she could speak, were immediately covered with a layer of sadness.

Duan Xue hated only looked at Mu Hao's eyes, and immediately understood that Mu Hao must have remembered the incident that was almost promised to King Zhao by Emperor Taizong. At that time, Mu Zhen seemed to have been seduced by Zhu Gaoxu, and she was indeed worried and sad for a long time.

"Anyway, isn't the imperial concubine already begging for mercy now?" Duan Xue said hatefully.

Mu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she understood what Duan Xue Ha meant, and said softly: "I often feel that Xue Ha is closer than my younger brothers and sisters. ”

Duan Xue hated noncommittal and said, "Xu Niangzi heard that the Holy Lord intends to ask King Zhao to marry the sister of the imperial concubine, so she wants to see the imperial concubine and wants to persuade you to stop this matter." ”

"Why?" Mu Zhen asked.

Duan Xue hated: "Xu Niangzi wants to reunite with King Zhao. She thinks that Marquis Ning Yuan (He Fu) now has a status in the court, and as long as King Zhao can't marry the Mu family, he will consider taking Xu Niangzi back to King Zhao's mansion. ”

Mu Zhen shook her head slightly: "Dissuading the Mu family from marrying King Zhao is possible." But I think that King Zhao still won't take the back. ”

"Hmm." Duan Xue replied hatefully. Mu Zhen often gives people a lively and simple feeling, but her mind is like those eyes, and her thoughts seem to be simple but very clear.

Mu Zhen said: "I have actually written a letter to my father and asked him to write a letter to excuse the matter. Not to mention that the two sisters of the Marquis of Wuding (Guo) family are married to the royal family, and there will eventually be a bleak end for Guo Yan; Let's just say that our Mu family is too flamboyant now, and we want to marry the younger brother of the saint, I am afraid it is easy to attract jealousy. This is not a good thing. ”

Duan Xue hated and nodded.

Mu Zhen glanced at her and smiled, "Since my sister ...... Promised Xu, you still let her come to see me. I can't sleep now, but the Holy One will come to see me every once in a while; When the saint came up, I persuaded him. But no matter how much the Holy God thinks, we can't be the Lord. ”

Duan Xue hated and said: "In the afternoon, I will bring the and come to see the imperial concubine again." ”

…… The weather prediction of the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison was magically accurate. Within two days, the light rain stopped and the weather cleared. The Ming fleet, heading south, set sail according to the prepared itinerary. Zhu Gaoxu still went to Longjiang Port; However, most of the ships were in Liujiagang, which was too far away from Beijing, so Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not go.

In the evening, Zhu Gaoxu went to the East First Palace to visit Mu Zhen, who was in confinement, and his second son Zhu Zhanqi.

"The older palace maids and nurses in the palace told them that the concubines can't sleep for a while, so the saint will go to sleep in another palace at night." Mu Zhen said apologetically.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her mind and said busily: "I just want to see you and talk to you for a while." Every time I'm with you, somehow I'm in a good mood and don't have to do anything else. ”

Mu Zhen covered her mouth and smiled: "The Holy Lord will coax me." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "It's the truth." I love to see you smile, and just by looking at those eyes, I feel that everything is going to get better, and everything is going to get better. ”

At this time, the faces of the two palace maids standing next to them also turned red. Mu Zhen turned her head to look at it and said, "You guys go and do something else." ”

"Yes." The palace ladies buried their heads and curtched.

Mu Zhen waited for them to go out, and then said softly: "Before the concubine saw the saint, the clothes she just changed were really a bit helpless and rude." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "In your own bedroom, it doesn't matter. ”

Mu Zhen approached his ear and exhaled Rulan and whispered: "The saint is so curious, you can touch it for a while, it seems to be fine." ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhen immediately left a distance again, and then she said again: "Holy Lord, the concubine has something to ask for." ”

Zhu Gaoxu responded happily: "Zhen'er said it directly. ”

Mu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "The concubine heard that the saint wants King Zhao to marry the concubine's sister. But now that his father has been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, the two uncles (Mu Ang and Mu Xin) are both in high power in Yunnan, and the saint has added the name of the imperial concubine for the concubine, and the Mu family is really deeply favored and cannot be added. If I let my sister marry King Zhao again, I am afraid that the Mu family will not be able to bear such a great grace. Besides, King Zhao is the brother of the saint, and the woman from the Mu family is the princess, will King Zhao be wronged? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's expression was a little more serious, he pondered for a moment, and said, "This is what the Duke of Qianguo also means?" ”

Mu Zhen said softly: "The concubine wrote a letter to persuade her father, but she didn't receive a reply from her father, and I don't know yet." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Zhen'er is right, King Zhao is my own brother, and now my only brother. I thought about him, and I thought he wouldn't do anything too ridiculous, and he wouldn't be fine. ”

Zhu Gaoxu alluded to the tragedy of the two sisters of the Wuding Hou Guo family and the two brothers who married each other will not happen again.

Mu Zhen said: "By the way, the former Princess Zhao Xu came to see the concubine. The concubine heard her say that she was really pitiful, if King Zhao could change his mind, it would be a good thing. ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without hesitation and said: "Gao Sui is a prince, and he will not be afraid of He Fu; Besides, He Fu is only Xu's uncle, and he doesn't want to have a grudge with Gao Sui because of this. Only Xu Zhang was a little unhappy, but Gao Sui ignored him.

Gao Sui did a bit of a thin job in this matter. But now that everyone is an adult, as the second brother, I can't scold him for everything, otherwise this brother won't get along. ”

"Hmm." Mu Hao replied softly.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "If the Duke of Qianguo does have objections, I don't need to force it. However, Gao Sui took the initiative to move out of Beiping and go to Zhangde Mansion, and I couldn't help but vote for Li Baotao. What he wanted, I knew very well, he was very afraid of the eldest brother's affairs, and wanted a useful promise.

It doesn't matter if Princess Zhao chooses someone from the Mu family or someone from the Wei family, as long as it is my henchman and noble. The second daughter of Wei Da, the Duke of Weiguo, seems to be more than ten years old, and I will talk to Veda in a few days. ”

Mu Zhen said: "The saint has thought it through, and the concubine body has added trouble to you." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "It doesn't matter. ”

He stood up and paced a few steps, and then casually talked about today's events: "Today I went to Longjiang Port, and this time I set off for the fleet heading south. The fleet that had gone to the court had been walking for almost 20 days, and it was estimated that they would be able to arrive in their own country in a month at most. ”.
