Chapter 178: Revisiting the Old Place
Mu Bangshang has not been idle in the past two days, frolicking with the children, helping the children remove the quilt, brush their shoes and wash their clothes, and fold the dried clothes neatly.
During the five days of his stay in Yaoxian Valley, most of the time he spent with the children, and tomorrow Qi Luan would come back to pick them up.
Xuanyuan saw Mu Bangsheng take the torn clothes to the room to sew them, and he was angry and distressed, and snatched the clothes from her hands.
"I can buy them clothes that they won't wear for a lifetime."
"These things have been done by concubines since childhood. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm happy to be able to do something for them. β
If it is really the daughter of Xilin Yong, "I shouldn't have brought you here." β
"Your Majesty, compared to the palace, the concubines are more suitable here, there is no strife, peace and tranquility."
"How can a woman who is so reckless and unambitious. If you stay here, you'll bury your talent. β
"The concubine has no talent, but the emperor has raised her love."
Xuanyuan frowned at the top of his handsome eyebrows, "You will be bullied when you have a temperament like you in the palace." You have to remember that you are Xuanyuan's extremely favored woman, and in the palace, you can walk sideways. β
Mu Bangshang actually smiled, "The concubine is not a crab and wants to go sideways." The emperor can rest assured that Mu Wanshang will not be bullied. β
Annoyed is annoyed, but seeing that her temperament is much brighter, "I will order someone to prepare clothes and send them over, you lie down and talk to me." β
After all, the emperor will not understand that what those orphans need is not brocade clothes, but sincere treatment.
It's like Regulus doesn't understand that what she desires is freedom, not a cage made of gold.
Since the emperor agreed to buy clothes for the child, she was not hypocritical and sat beside him obediently.
"What does the emperor want to say?"
Xuanyuan handed over the crook of his arm, and Mu Wansheng naturally leaned over and leaned into his arms.
Seeing that Xuanyuan was speechless, she didn't move, and fell asleep unconsciously, and she was also very tired on this day.
Seeing that she was sleeping deeply, Xuanyuan was desperate to change her mind, although he respected Xi Linyong, how did Xi Linyong die? It is those who are killed by those benevolent, righteous, moral, and national righteousness. If you want to achieve great things, you must do whatever it takes. It's the same in the harem, if you don't hurt people, there will be no bones left.
The next day, Mu Bangshang slept peacefully without a dream, and when she woke up, she found that the clothes on her body were gone again, and Xuanyuan didn't know where she went.
There was a soothing incense in the room, no wonder he slept so deeply, and the white mist in the bathtub was very precise.
There is a change of clothes next to the tub and a food box on the table, so you can have breakfast after bathing.
It's time for them to set off, since Xuanyuan has already made arrangements, no one should be bothered at this time.
Ready everything, Mu Wanshang went downstairs and found that the children were already waiting in the yard, and ran towards her in unison.
"Mother, you're leaving."
"Well, the emperor promised to buy you a lot of new clothes, and they will be delivered soon."
"Mother, will you come again?"
As soon as she entered the palace gate, she didn't know if she had a chance to leave the palace, but she didn't want them to be disappointed, "I will come back again." β
Mu Bangshang was leaving, the children cried, Mu Bangshang was a little soft-hearted, and it was delayed for some time.
Xuanyuan was extremely impatient, and snorted coldly in displeasure.
"It's really time to go." Mu Wanshang took steps and ran towards Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan carried her to the wooden bird, and looked at Chu Xizhao standing in the courtyard with the child, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Xuanyuan had always felt that she was, the kindness of a woman, and did not speak, but would pull her body and rest her head on his shoulder, so that she would not look at it again.
Mu Bangshang knew that Xuanyuan hated crying women very much, she just parted with the sourness and did not cry.
There were no words, the slender white palm held his broad palm, the ten fingers were clasped, the head rested on his shoulder, and the eyes closed felt very stable.
Xuanyuan is her husband, her biggest reliance in the palace.
She is about to return to the palace, and sometimes she will be emotional, but she has clear grievances and grievances, and she is never weak and can be bullied.
Wen Zhen killed her child, and this revenge must be avenged.
Xuanyuan looked at the ten fingers that were tightly locked, Mu Wanshang took the initiative to hold his hand, layers of ripples appeared in his heart, his heart became warm, and the little awkwardness was gone.
The voice also became gentle, "I want to enter the palace to deal with some things, you live in General Xiao's mansion first, and the scarlet clothes will accompany you." β
Mu Bangshang knew that she was out of the palace, and all the courtiers knew that it was not so easy to enter the palace again.
Going to Xiao Yichen's mansion was very surprising, "I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient!" It's better to go to the banquet sister's house. β
"Princess Jingxuan is pregnant, and Xiao Yichen has moved to the barracks and is no longer in the house."
Her current identity is Xiao Yichen's sister-in-law, so she naturally wants to get closer to Xiao Yichen, but fortunately, Xiao Yichen is not in the house.
"It's all up to the emperor's arrangement."
Xuanyuan held her like this, and said in his belly: "I am the place I chose, you will definitely like it." β
In the general's mansion at night, Yan Jiu looked out the window boringly, and it was really difficult to stay in the mansion every day to have a baby. There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, the emperor was no longer in the capital, Ye Zheng almost lived in the palace, and Ye Zheng should not return to the house at such an hour.
Maybe she just came back to see, but she didn't stay, Ye Zheng was most worried that she would move around and hurt the fetus, so she specially invited her grandmother to take care of her.
Ye Zheng saw Yan Jiu obediently lying on the couch to have a baby, she could already move around, but she was afraid that she would be unstable.
"Why does Xianggong have time to come back to see Ah Jiu?"
"I have good news for you when my husband comes back, you must not move around, lest you hurt the fetus."
"Husband, can you ask the doctor when he can stay, he has been lying for several months, and his body is stiff."
Ye Zheng couldn't hold back her desire to laugh, but she was afraid that Yan Jiu would find out, and only the child in her womb could make her quiet.
Avoid that topic, "I just met Scarlet Yi, and she said that Niangniang has been found, and she can go to the capital in these two days." β
Yan Jiu actually cried with joy, but Mu Bangshang was brought out of the palace, "Niangniang finally found it, but it is difficult for Niangniang to return to the palace." β
"Scarlet Yi said that when Niangniang returned to the capital, she couldn't rush back to the palace, and she had to live in General Xiao's Mansion first."
"Niangniang should come to our house."
"But it's General Xiao's Mansion, and this matter has been decided. Xiao Yichen also said that the Niangniang escape incident coincided with General Xiao's return from the West. The emperor wants to find a backer for Niangniang and recognize General Xiao as his brother-in-law, so that Niangniang is better off in the palace, with nepotism, and the emperor can blatantly promote Xiao Yichen without arousing suspicion. β
In the afternoon of the second day, on the outskirts of Beijing, Qi Luan sent Xuanyuan and Mu Bangshang into the capital and left.
Scarlet clothes then Mu Bangshang went to General Xiao's Mansion, Scarlet Yi has quietly lived in the General's Mansion, I heard that Princess Jingxuan is a very good person, this Mu Bangshang naturally knows.
When she was still Xi Linyan, she often entered the palace to be commensurate with Jingxuan and Jingruo.
One of the two sisters married her fiancΓ© Pei Zhen, after Pei Zhen's death, the Pei family declined, and if she guarded her son, the identity of the princess would not suffer, and it was sad to take her eldest son alone, this is her retribution.
The gentle Jing Xuan married Xiao Yichen, and she had no grievances with Xiao Yichen, who he wanted to choose to be loyal to had nothing to do with her.
Looking at the familiar streets and alleys, it turned out that Xiao Yichen's residence was rebuilt by the originally burned down Imperial History Mansion.
Xuanyuan has very good intentions, and he wants her to return to the Xilin Mansion to live for a few days.
Originally, I was worried that this land would be reclaimed and rebuilt, and I didn't know which official's mansion it would be, but I didn't expect it to be Xiao Yichen.
This mansion will only maintain the original appearance of the Xilin family in the hands of Xiao Yichen.
All the worries in my heart came to naught, the carriage stopped, and the housekeeper took Mu Bangshang into the house.
Along the way, it was difficult to hide the throbbing in my heart, I don't know where the emperor got the drawings, and almost restored the original appearance of the Xilin family.
Xilin's study is still there, but I remember when I saw the ruins, crying and looking for my father's ashes, Xuanyuan was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless at that time, which was disgusting.
No one led it, Mu Wanshang ran to the courtyard in the west, and sure enough, the ancestral hall of the Xilin family was also there, and Xuanyuan agreed to rebuild the ancestral hall.
Mu Bangshang stepped on the difficult steps, pushed open the wooden door, the lights inside were burning, the ancestors of the Xilin family were all in the ranks, and the names of his father and himself were standing impressively. Che'er is still underage, and she shouldn't have entered the ancestral hall, but she is also listed.
Mu Bangshang bowed three times, took the incense and kowtowed to the ancestors, Xuanyuan was very successful in her wish, she didn't find out that he actually did a lot for himself, but he hated him at that time and didn't care.
In order not to look weird, Mu Bangshang retreated respectfully.
At this time, Jing Xuan was standing in front of the court, her body was thin, her lower abdomen was slightly convex, it was not very obvious, she should have just been pregnant.
Jing Xuan is a princess after all, Mu Bangshang stepped forward, "I've seen the princess." β
"The imperial sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, just treat it as if this is her own home, and Jing Xuan also has someone to accompany her."
"It's the princess who is polite." It is said that Mu Bangshang is the sister-in-law of General Xiao, and the princess should be called his sister-in-law.
Jing Xuan stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Mu Wanshang's hand, knowing that she was going to incense for the heroic souls of the Xilin family.
"This was originally the Xilin family's house, which was burned clean by a fire, and the emperor later renovated it to restore its original appearance."
"Isn't the princess afraid? I've heard that a lot of people died here. β
At that time, when the horse insisted on this courtyard, Jing Xuan objected, and the horse said that the Xilin family was kind to him, and the horse was the same as his father when Xilin Yushi, and Sister Xilin was Jing Xuan's good sister.
The Xilin family is full of loyalty, what is there to fear! Moreover, the child in Jing Xuan's womb was also conceived when he arrived here, as long as people have good intentions in their hearts, they have nothing to fear.
"It is a great blessing for General Xiao to be able to marry such a sensible, gentle and intelligent woman as a princess." Mu Bangshang was sincerely pleased with Xiao Yichen.
"Jing Xuan just said everything in her heart, which made the imperial sister-in-law smile."
I didn't expect Jing Xuan to live in her room, shouldn't Xiao Yichen live in the master bedroom?
"There is a bamboo forest outside, quiet and elegant, and the general also thinks that this room is very good, very suitable for the fetus.
"I just don't know if the imperial sister-in-law lives with Jing Xuan or goes to the guest room."
"There's a companion to stay here too."
When I came back here again, I had a lot of memories coming back to me. Scarlet moved into the next room.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Bangshang didn't see Jing Xuan, and asked Scarlet Yi, "Scarlet Yi, do you know where the princess is?" β
"It should be next door, Niangniang will see it herself."
Mu Wanshang was not hungry, got up and went to the next door, but stopped standing at the door.
In the room, Concubine Yun Guifei was stupid, Jing Xuan combed her hair and wiped her palms clean, "I haven't seen her for a while, and my mother has soiled herself again." β
After grooming her mother, Jing Xuan opened the food box, took the vegetables, and fed her mother herself.
Yun Guifei became crazy because of her son's death, but fortunately she didn't cry, so Jing Xuan was not so tired.
Mu Bangshang looked sad, couldn't help but didn't let the tears slip from the corners of his eyes, and the bones were dry, King An was just a stepping stone for Xuanyuan to ascend to the throne, which was also the sin he created.
The Wen family helped Xuanyuan to win the country, and now Xuanyuan is extremely eager to keep the imperial power, and he has to do the same to the Wen family.
