Chapter 164

When the sky was dark, Mu Qingling woke up, she opened her eyes, and saw her husband hugging her, from Yangzhou to the present, in a few years, he has changed from a young man when he first met to such a mature and reliable man now.

Mu Qingling stretched out her left hand and gently traced Xiao Lanhuan's eyebrows, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and handsome face. Xiao Lanjun, who was sleeping, probably felt a little itchy, moved her nose, frowned her eyebrows, Mu Qingling chuckled, and when she fell asleep, she looked a little mature and reliable, and when she opened her eyes, she was still the same out-of-the-box character.

Mu Qingling looked at her husband for a while, but decided to wake him up, she pushed Xiao Lanhuan, "Get up." There is no lack of tenderness in the words. Xiao Lanyu snorted, there was no movement, Mu Qingling was angry and funny, and reached out and pinched the bridge of Xiao Lanhuan's straight nose, "Lazy pig, get up, today we are going to enter the palace to ask the queen mother for peace." ”

It stands to reason that the morning and dusk should be fixed every day, but who called Xiao Lan's mother-in-law and mother-in-law of Mu Qingling live in Cining Palace, the palace is strictly forbidden, even if it is the queen mother's son, it is not good to go much, and if you are not careful, you will meet a little sister-in-law, it is better to avoid suspicion.

Besides, if you want to enter the palace, the etiquette is cumbersome, if you go every day, you are afraid that your son and daughter-in-law will be on the way to the palace or on the way out of the palace, and the young couple will not have to live their own lives. Therefore, Xiao Lan and Mu Qingling have always entered the palace every five days to ask for peace.

Today is the day to enter the palace to say goodbye, "Get up quickly, the hour is not early." Mu Qingling got up first, and then beckoned the maids who were already waiting outside to come into the room, and two rows of maids led by Yunqiao and Yunxi either carried basins or scarves, and entered the house to serve Mu Qingling to wash.

The Xiaoyao Mansion was built and lived by Xiao Lanhuan when he became an adult, and the palace personnel were also purchased by the Zongren Mansion, at that time, Xiao Lanhuan was a young man, and of course there was no need for maids to serve him, so most of the people in the palace were male servants. However, the queen mother sent two palace maids to make a room for her son, but Xiao Lanhuan did not accept it, and let these two people serve the nurse Qu Mama who was raised with her out of the palace. So now the maids serving in the room of the two of them are all brought by Mu Qingling as a dowry, and they were originally serving her, which is also convenient.

Before Xiao Lanhuan and Mu Qingling got married, there was a serious master Xiao Lanhuan in the palace, and this is still a master who runs around the world, and in addition, there is only Mama Qu, who is half a master. The affairs of the palace are all taken care of by the chief of the palace, Shi Si. Now that there is more hostess Mu Qingling, Mu Qingling has no intention of pinching the tip and taking power.

First, the chief historian of the palace is a serious official of the imperial court, and the official positions of the two or so long history are all positive five grades, which are higher than the grades of her second uncle Yu Enxiang, and the chief history department is appointed by the imperial court, even she, the princess, has no choice.

Second, the palace has its own etiquette, everything is done according to etiquette, and there is no reason to have Mu Qingling, the new princess, intervene.

Thirdly, Xiao Lanyu and Mu Qingling and his wife had the same heart, Mu Qingling had already known that the two of them were going to leave for Tianjin in a few months, so why bother to disrupt the operation of the palace at this time. So there are more hostesses in the Xiaoyao Palace, everything seems to be different, and everything seems to be no different.

It is Mu Qingling, since marrying into the Xiaoyao Palace, but has enjoyed a simple and quiet life that has not been seen for a long time, the palace is good, the subordinates are respectful and polite, and the people who serve him are his own henchmen, and the husband and wife are in love, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are immortals.

"Mama Qu is here." Shen'er opened the curtain and invited in a lady about forty years old. "Greetings, princess." Mama Qu bent down and said, Mama Qu has fair skin, kind eyebrows and eyes, she has been raised for many years, but she doesn't show her age.

"Mama is here, Yunqiao, move a seat for Mama." Mu Qingling was combing her hair and did not look back at this time. Yunqiao moved the embroidery stool, and Mama Qu only sat for a small half, which shows that she is a courteous person, and she is not facing the new princess because she has milked the prince.

"Princess, just now Lord Zhao Yunzhao, the left chief of the palace, came to report, saying that the Diandian Catering Division has prepared breakfast, and the good doctor is also waiting, waiting to ask the princess for peace. Also, ask the princess whether she will enter the palace today by car or sedan chair, and the ceremonial officer will arrange the honor guard. "It's Zuo Changshi who is on duty today, but it's not good to get into the room, so let Mama Qu come in to report.

"There's Mama Lao!" Mu Qingling smiled and set up to take the car, at this time Xiao Lanwei hadn't gotten up yet, and Mama Qu couldn't see it, so the princess went to clean up this lazy thing, and went out after the princess's order.

Mu Qingling combed her hair, came to the edge of the bed and sat down, stretched out her slender fingers, twisted a layer of skin and flesh, Xiao Lanyu immediately opened her eyes with grinning, "Don't get up soon, Mama Qu has been here, and people have seen the joke." Xiao Lanyu smiled beggingly, held Mu Qingling's strange hand and kissed it to her mouth, "Good princess, your mother-in-law wants to see a large group of other daughters-in-law first, and don't worry." Mu Qingling's cheeks were crimson, she retracted her hand, glanced at Yunqiao and the others, and saw that everyone bowed their heads very well, just as if they couldn't see or hear!

"If you want me to get up, you can kiss me." Xiao Lanwei propped up his head with one hand, and his right hand touched his right cheek. Mu Qingling was angry and annoyed, and finally kissed Xiao Lanyu lightly on the cheek.

"Alright, get up. How old a person is, still like a child. Mu Qingling felt a little embarrassed after kissing people, and said angrily.

Xiao Lanwei saw that he succeeded, so he didn't act as a demon, and it was the boudoir of husband and wife to do it appropriately, and if he did it again, he annoyed his wife, and he was asking for hardship. The two of them packed up their belongings, had breakfast, and rode to the palace in a carriage.

By the time Mu Qingling and Xiao Lanwei entered Cining Palace, another hour had passed. Coincidentally, today is also the day when Qin Xiwen and Xiao Li entered the palace to ask for peace, and the two sides met in Cining Palace, so it was lively.

Xiao Li can be regarded as the queen mother who grew up, he has a good relationship with Xiao Lanwei, and the queen mother has some love for him. Now these two boys are married, and the daughter-in-law is a handkerchief, and they are famous for their good feelings, and the Queen Mother looked at the two talented and beautiful young couples who sat down, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be contained.

After Qin Xiwen married Xiao Li, she did not change her previous neat style, Mu Qingling looked at her carefully, and saw that Qin Xiwen's face was ruddy, her expression was relaxed, and she occasionally whispered to Xiao Li, the two of them were relaxed and relaxed with a smile, and Mu Qingling's heart was completely let go.

Everyone was gossiping, and the palace maid outside the door said that the third prince had brought Concubine Yu to greet the Queen Mother. The people sitting in this room were all spirits, and when they heard Yu Xiao coming, their faces didn't move, and the queen mother waved happily and asked the palace maid to pass them in.

Yu Xiao is now pregnant, if it weren't for the child in her belly, she wouldn't even be able to enter the palace gate. It is also strange to say that Xiao Huaimin has a main concubine and two side concubines, and he has lived in Wang Ruofen and Liu Yuyan's room for a lot of days, but neither of them has moved.

As a result, the child in Yu Xiao's belly became golden. Yu Xiao also had the opportunity to enter the palace to greet Concubine De and the Queen Mother. Xiao Huaimin and Yu Xiao didn't stay long in Cining Palace, and after asking Guo An to say a few words, Xiao Huaimin took Yu Xiao to Concubine De. As soon as Yu Xiao left, Xiao Li suddenly looked at Xiao Lanwei and asked, "Little Wangye, the preliminary preparations for Tianjin Port are almost over, I'm afraid you're about to leave here, right?" ”

Xiao Lanwei nodded casually with the teacup and said, "I discussed it with the imperial brother and left in two months." Speaking of Xiao Lanhuan's going to Tianjin, the Queen Mother was interested, "You are going with Ling'er again, and you have to work hard up and down." It's always better to be better prepared than in the capital than in the capital. You must not learn from the past, dare to run far away with Chang Lin alone. ”

Before Xiao Lanwei could reply, Xiao Li smiled and said, "Queen Mother, your old man can rest assured." If it weren't for the fact that the local area of Tianjin Port couldn't fit it, the little prince was afraid that he would like to move the entire Xiaoyao Mansion to Tianjin Port. ”

Facing Xiao Li, Xiao Lanwei never knew what forbearance meant. He picked up a fruit from the plate at hand and threw it at Xiao Li, saying, "As far as you know, I'm embarrassed to say that I, how can I hear that Xiao Shizi doesn't even go to the opera garden now, and he goes home every day." It's long overdue for someone to take care of you! ”

Qin Xiwen and Mu Qingling looked at these two people who were naΓ―ve for several years as soon as they met, if it weren't for the Queen Mother still watching, they all wanted to take these two people's ears and quickly bring them back, and it was not embarrassing to let them out.

The Queen Mother was high up, and she saw every move of the following people clearly, she was amused by Xiao Lanwei and Xiao Li, "Okay, how old a person, since I was a child, I fought when I got together, and I chatted when I was separated." Li'er, listen to the mourning family, you also have an errand in this? β€œ

Xiao Li turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, I asked for an errand to do, but it is not an important position." The Queen Mother half leaned on the soft pillow, looked at Xiao Li with earnest eyes, and said earnestly, "You are a child with ideas, you were not here in the past, and the mourning family didn't have much to say." Now that you've come to your senses, do it. Although the status is given by his parents, he can also earn it by himself. If you give it to yourself, that's solid. Do you understand? ”

Xiao Li's face was a little moved, and he looked at the Queen Mother and said solemnly, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother understands." ”

There was a time to ask for peace in the palace, Xiao Li and they came first, and seeing that it was time to leave, the Queen Mother simply let the four of them retire together. Out of Cining Palace, Xiao Lanhuan and Xiao Li walked in front and went down to business, and Mu Qingling and Qin Xiwen, who had finally met, slowly fell behind and talked about themselves.

"Xiwen, are you okay in King Yong's Mansion?" Mu Qingling looked at Qin Xiwen and asked, she has listened and watched enough these days, but she still doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't get Qin Xiwen's answer in person. Qin Xiwen smiled at her and said, "Okay, everything is fine." Xiao Li, that person, looked at Jiao'er Lang as a non-positive type. In fact, I know better than anyone else. He is not the kind of person who can't afford things, with him behind me, I have suffered no grievances in King Yong's Mansion. ”

"That being said, he can't be in the palace all the time." Mu Qingling's brows furrowed slightly, "The old prince's backyard is messy, you live in the palace all day long, but be careful, don't follow other people's ways." ”

"What's the mess? The left is just some jealous tricks. I'm not from the same generation as them, and no matter how much trouble I make, I can't make trouble. Qin Xiwen said disapprerovingly, "I know what you want to say, you are worried that your big sister will test me, right?" ”

Mu Qingling said helplessly, "You also know how bad I had with Yu Xiao in the first two years, you didn't deal with Yu Xiao since you were a child, and now she is nominally your mother-in-law, it's not easy to deal with you?" Don't take it seriously! ”

Seeing that Mu Qingling was a little anxious, Qin Xiwen hurriedly said, "Dangdang, why don't you take it seriously?" It's just that you're really worried, she doesn't have the heart to pinch me now, and there is a delicate beauty in the backyard of the old prince, and now she is being favored. The princess was all about the man, and I was naturally happy to be leisurely. ”

Mu Qingling was also indescribable to the old man of Prince Yong, and after walking for a while, Qin Xiwen suddenly said, "Qingling, what do you think of your big sister?" Mu Qingling thought for a while and said, "We are much older than each other, and she got married within two years of entering the Yu family." I haven't had much contact with her, so I don't know much about her, but from the few contacts I've had since I returned to Beijing, she's not a good person. ”

Qin Xiwen nodded, silent, Mu Qingling looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Qin Xiwen shook her head with a smile, and said lightly, "It's nothing, just ask." Mu Qingling sensed that Qin Xiwen had something in her heart, but she didn't say anything, and Mu Qingling was helpless.

The Three Princes' Mansion.

Yu Xiao followed Xiao Huaimin out of the palace, and the two didn't talk much along the way. Seeing that he had entered the mansion, Xiao Huaimin still didn't care about his intentions, Yu Xiao thought about it, stepped forward and looked at Xiao Huaimin with tears and said, "Your Highness, the concubine has been dreaming all the time these days and nights, and the child is making trouble again. Won't Your Highness accompany your concubine tonight? It's been a long time since you've been here. ”

Xiao Huaimin looked at Yu Xiao, seeing that she looked like a pear blossom with rain, and felt a little sorry for weakness in his heart, he was about to follow Yu Xiao's meaning, and when he went to her, he heard a delicate voice in the oblique thorn, "Your Highness, you can come back!" ”

Yu Xiao lowered his eyes, blocking the disgust that flashed in his eyes, and on the other side, Liu Yuyan walked to Xiao Huaimin with the maid in a few steps, and half leaned on Xiao Huaimin to hold Xiao Huaimin's arm.

"Your Highness, the dance you told the concubine last time, the concubine learned it. The concubine also specially asked the small kitchen to prepare wine, please move to His Royal Highness? Liu Yuyan said coquettishly, Xiao Huaimin looked at Yu Xiao, there was a little hesitation on his face, Liu Yuyan said reluctantly, "Your Highness, in order to wait for you to come back, the concubine has asked the concubine to wait here, and her feet are hurting." Your Highness, let's go. ”

Liu Yuyan's obsessive appearance, Yu Xiao can't do it for a hundred, but Xiao Huaimin eats Liu Yuyan's set, Liu Yuyan dragged his sleeve and shook it a few times, and said to Yu Xiao, "You go back first, if you feel unwell, let people go to the palace to invite the imperial doctor." I'll see you in two days. ”

"Your Highness!" Yu Xiao watched Xiao Huaimin holding Liu Yuyan's waist and walking towards Liu Yuyan's yard, standing in place with his stomach in his hands, and his eyes were red with hatred. "Concubine Fang, don't look at it, be careful of being angry. Let's go back. Cui'er stepped forward to support Yu Xiao and persuaded softly.

Cui'er was originally a maid under Yu Fei, and after she was involved in the affairs of Yu Xiao and the third prince in the palace before, Yu Fei simply gave her to Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao didn't like the personal maid newly sent to her by the house, so she only brought Cui'er over when she got married.

"Fox Meizi, it can be regarded as an official family, and I don't want any face!" Yu Xiao scolded hatefully and helped Cui'er to walk back. Cui'er persuaded, "Concubine Fang doesn't have to be angry, she is now spoiled by His Royal Highness, but if she can't give birth to a child, it's not a bamboo basket to draw water." The key now is for you to take care of your body and give birth to the first child of the third prince as soon as possible. Will you need to keep her in your eyes in the future? ”

Yu Xiao listened comfortably, stroking his stomach while walking, and his mood was slightly better. Now everyone is looking at the child she is carrying, because of this belly, she can still enter the palace like a concubine to greet the ladies of the palace. When this child is born, why can't he clean up a Liu Yuyan?
