Seeing Murong Lin, Chu Qianrou threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the concubines, the concubines are incompetent, they failed to keep the dragon fetus, and they deserve death!" ”

Murong Lin stroked her back and comforted: "Is it that Yang Cairen lost his morality, caused me to lose his dragon, and has something to do with his concubine?" ”

"The concubine is to blame, because the concubine is restless, she is pregnant with a dragon fetus but does not stay in the palace to raise it well, she has to go out, and she collides with the jade concubine. If the concubine doesn't go out, doesn't compete, and learns to swallow her anger, this child will not suffer this accident! Your Majesty, punish your concubines, otherwise your concubines will be ashamed of their love for the emperor and feel uneasy! Chu Qianrou cried so much that she couldn't even breathe.

Murong Lin didn't dare to argue with her anymore, for fear that if this continued, she would cry until she suffocated to death, so she agreed: "Okay, then I will punish you for not going anywhere, stay in Yuxiu Palace to take care of your body, and give birth to a dragon for me in the future!" ”

Although Murong Lin did not mean to blame, Chu Qianrou was depressed. She stopped laughing, washed her face with tears all day long, and either embroidered children's clothes or went to Deshan Hall to pray for blessings. Because of the depression in her heart, her body has not improved.

Murong Lin was anxious in his eyes, he didn't like Chu Qianrou like this, he still liked the little goblin before, but he couldn't let it go, although there were many beauties in the harem, he always felt that something was missing from them. His mood is not beautiful, and it is even more unpleasant to look at the Eighth Prince.

Just when Murong Lin was frowning, Murong Jing appeared at the right time, and he replied to Murong Lin about the final result of the case of Yuezhou officials' embezzlement of ink, but seeing Murong Lin's lack of interest, he couldn't help asking: "Father is worried?" ”

When Murong Lin heard Murong Jing ask, he thought that the gifts he had sent before could please Chu Qianrou, and his eyes suddenly flashed with hope: "Jing'er, you came just in time, Concubine Rou has been very self-blaming since the last accidental miscarriage, and she is depressed all day long, and I am very worried." Jing'er, you have always had a unique vision, do you have a good way? ”

Murong Jing thought for a moment and then replied, "Erchen has an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate?" ”

"Tell me about it!" Murong Lin said hurriedly.

"A few days ago, when Erchen went out of the palace in Weifu, he saw a juggling team at Xishikou, and the performance was very exciting, and Erchen thought that he could announce the juggling team to the palace to perform for the concubine Niangniang, maybe he could win a smile from Niangniang."

"Great idea!" Murong Lin praised, "This matter will be arranged by you, the sooner the better!" He doesn't care if this method is really good, as long as he hasn't tried it before, and it is possible to make the beauty happy, he will give it a try, in case the beauty doesn't like it, isn't there a son who is behind it?

"Yes! If it is fast, it will be tomorrow, and if it is slow, the day after tomorrow, the sons will not be dishonored! ”

When Murong Jing left the palace, he went straight to Xishikou and chatted privately with the head of the juggling class. On the second day, after the morning court, he went to find the juggling team again, and then hurriedly entered the palace to see Murong Lin.

"Father, the son is fortunate not to be dishonored, the juggling team can enter the palace tomorrow to perform, and I ask my father to set a time."

Murong Lin thought for a while and said, "Then it's in the afternoon, and it's in Lijingxuan." The concubine is weak, and it is warmer in the afternoon. ”

"Yes."

"It's hard work, if the concubine can laugh, I will remember you."

"If the concubine can show a smile, it is also because of the favor of the father, and the sons dare not take credit."

"Okay, you can do it!"

Murong Jing left with a smile, the concubine would definitely laugh, she still came up with the idea of inviting the juggling team, and she just took the antidote, what was so sad, she was just pretending to be pitiful, and it was also to avoid favor. He deliberately delayed the things that had been talked about a long time ago, just to give people a feeling that it was difficult to do, and to further invite credit. But this time, his purpose was not only to make Chu Qianrou happy, but also to take action.

After lunch, Murong Lin took Chu Qianrou out for a walk on the grounds that walking around more is good for his health, and he arrived at Lijingxuan as he walked. Seeing that Chu Xianrou was a little panting, Murong Lin said thoughtfully: "Concubine Ai is tired, sit down and rest for a while!" ”

When the palace people heard this, they spread the cushion on the stone bench with great eyes, and brought pastries and tea.

Has it begun? Chu Qianrou pretended not to know, and cooperated with Murong Lin's performance.

Shortly after she sat down, she heard a choking sound, and then a monkey with a red silk on its head ran to the opposite stage and made some strange but amusing movements. Xu is monkey is more interesting, Chu Xianrou looked at it with interest.

As the monkey descended, a woman in red came to the stage, each with her two index fingers holding a thin bamboo branch, each with a saucer at the top of the bamboo branch, spinning rapidly. The woman suddenly tilted her head back, and another woman in green came on, added a bamboo branch to her forehead, and then flew out a saucer. The saucer landed steadily on the bamboo branch and spun rapidly.

"Good!" Murong Lin stroked his hand and praised. Chu Qianrou didn't have much expression, but she looked at it very seriously.

The woman in green did not go down, but squatted down, the woman in red jumped lightly and stood on the shoulders of the woman in green, and the woman in green stood up without shaking at all.

At this moment, a man in blue did more than a dozen flips in a row to the center of the stage, and he threw several bird eggs in a row, which were caught by the woman in green steadily, and performed a round of throwing bird eggs.

After the man in blue punched again, he blew lightly at the two women, and a raging flame spewed out of his mouth and pounced on them, miraculously, the two women were not injured, but the eggs in the hands of the women in green were gone, and they turned into a flock of birds and flew into the sky.

Murong Lin applauded again, and Chu Qianrou also showed a surprised expression.

The performance continued, and with the end of the last show, the juggling team conjured up a large number of flowers, and when Qi called the concubine Niangniang a thousand years old, Chu Qianrou finally smiled. Seeing her smiling, Murong Lin smiled even more happily than her: "Come here, reward a hundred taels of silver!" ”

"Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

Chu Qianrou got up and took a step forward and knelt down in front of Murong Lin: "Concubine thank the emperor for the reward." ”

"Aifei, hurry up." Murong Lin hurriedly supported her, "If you can be happy, I will be at ease." ”

Chu Qianrou looked at Murong Lin and said, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, but he still works hard for such trivial things as concubines. If the concubines can't cheer up, they will really fail the emperor's true feelings. ”

"Aifei, why do you need to be like this between you and me? Besides, it's not me who really bothered this time. ”

"Oh, who is that?" Chu Qianrou asked knowingly.

"It's all Jing'er's idea, he just has a lot of ideas."

Chu Qianrou sighed with emotion: "The Fifth Highness really has a heart. Since the concubines entered the palace and enjoyed the grace of the monarch alone, the sisters and princesses in this palace either hated the concubines or deliberately curryed favor with them. Like His Royal Highness Five, it is really rare to take a lot of effort but ask for nothing, if he can see it one day, the concubine must thank him in person. ”

"Why do you need another day, just today." Murong Lin said loudly, "Jing'er, I haven't come to see the concubine yet." ”

Murong Jing appeared from the side of the stage and walked quickly to Murong Lin: "Erchen has seen his father and the emperor, and he has seen Rou Guifei Niangniang!" ”

Murong Lin explained: "Jing'er is afraid that the performance will go wrong, so she has been supervising the audience. ”

Chu Xianrou smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Then he turned to Murong Lin and said, "The emperor can reward the Fifth Highness well." ”

Murong Jing hurriedly said: "Erchen doesn't dare!" ”

Murong Lin's dragon heart was happy: "The concubine is right, only Jing'er is sincere and has nothing to ask for, but if you have merit, you should be rewarded, say, what reward do you want." ”

Murong Jing knelt down and said, "Father Emperor Rongyu: The son-in-law was young and ignorant and harmed his mother, and he couldn't forgive himself in the end. Later, fortunately, Mei Niangniang raised her, but unfortunately she did not wait for her sons to be filial piety, and Mei Niangniang also went to the immortals. Erchen is not like other brothers who have the love of their mother, but they also want to respect filial piety, in addition to the queen mother, the father's love is the mother of the son, and the son's son can only feel at ease if he respects his father and mother. ”

When it comes to Concubine Shu, Murong Lin can't help but think of the gentle and talented woman, he looks at Murong Jing, this son not only looks like himself, but also has the posture of Concubine Shu back then. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You were still young at the time, and your mother's affairs were also framed, no wonder you." ”

"Thank you father for not asking about the sins of the son, but the son's mistake is wrong. Erchen mistakenly made his mother leave and hurt his father, and now he only thinks of making up for his mistakes and sharing his father's worries, so that Erchen feels that this life is in vain. Now the concubine can win the favor of the father, the son is very pleased, if the son is ten years young, he will recognize the concubine as the mother concubine, in order to fulfill filial piety. ”

Murong Lin looked at his kneeling son, then at Chu Qianrou, and said with a smile: "Aifei, what do you think of Jing'er's son?" ”

Chu looked at him in confusion: "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Murong Lin said slowly: "You lost a child, and now I give you back, this child will still think of all kinds of ways to make you happy, Concubine Ai thinks it's good?" ”

"This ......" Chu Xianrou pretended to be embarrassed, her brain was running rapidly, Murong Jing played this play, and he hadn't discussed it with her beforehand, what was the purpose? Is the old man's words true or false, or is he tempting? Murong Jing is older than her, but he wants to recognize her as his mother, which is really ridiculous.

Murong Lin continued: "You see that Jing'er's background is also pitiful, with you as his mother's concubine, if he is wronged outside in the future, someone will be the master for him." Aifei, don't you say? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Chu Qianrou replied faintly, "How can you be such a cheap mother, Your Royal Highness Shicai also said that if you are ten years younger......

Murong Jing knew that she would resist if he hadn't said it in advance, but he didn't want to miss this great opportunity, so he kowtowed deeply and said, "Thank you Father!" Sons meet their mothers! ”

Murong Lin looked at Chu Qiansoft and said, "Concubine Ai, you will agree, look at Jing'er like this, Concubine Ai, if you don't tell him to get up, he won't dare to get up." ”

"Concubine...... The concubine ......" Chu Qianrou was about to cry, "The concubine didn't dare to ......"

Murong Lin hugged her and said, "I have to support you, why don't you dare?" ”

Murong Jing didn't get up after kowtowing, and when he heard their conversation, he said bitterly: "Is the mother concubine disgusted with her son?" Father, since this is the case, it is a son who is not blessed, and I implore my father to take back his fate! ”

Murong Lin coughed and said, "Okay, this matter is up to me!" Aifei, it's rare to be happy today, so you can recognize Jing'er. ”

Chu Qianrou looked at him, and when she saw his affirmative and encouraging gaze, she finally nodded, and she turned to look at Murong Jing: "The emperor, please get up." ”

"The son thanked his father! Thank you, Princess! Murong Jing said excitedly.

Chu Qianrou only felt a bitterness surging in her heart, if she said that she still had a trace of expectation in the past, when Murong Lin died, whether she would be a palace maid or an outer room, there was still a slight possibility of continuing the frontier. Now a sentence of "emperor" and a sentence of "mother concubine" have opened a gap between the two people. This gap was given by him personally, has it always been just his own wishful thinking?
