Chapter 18: Guess who the father is

"That woman is Mu Qingyue." Among the men in brocade clothes, someone said loudly, "On the birthday of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she appeared, the crown prince and the prince brother and the Feng brother should not have seen each other, right?" ”

The person who spoke was none other than Xiahou Ming, the fourth prince of Dongluo Kingdom.

I saw that his gaze still fell in the direction Mu Qingyue left, with a cynical smile on his face.

"I've seen it." Xia Houlin said slowly.

Xiahou Ming looked at him in surprise: "Brother Huang, have you seen it?" When did you meet? Didn't you be there on the old lady's birthday? ”

Picking up the tea cup on the table and taking a sip, Xiahou Lin also glanced at the room that Mu Qingyue entered.

"I wasn't there that day, but I happened to see her when she returned to the inn."

Recalling that day, he happened to pass by the Fulai Inn, and a man who suddenly flew out almost hit his horse.

Immediately after, that graceful figure appeared in his sight.

Glimpse.

Thinking of this, Xia Houlin couldn't help but raise his lips and show a warm smile.

Xiahou Ming and the third prince Xiahou Yi next to him did not notice his reaction.

It was the "Brother Feng" in Xiahou Ming's mouth who inadvertently caught the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Feng, you haven't seen it before, have you?" Xiahou stared fixedly at Feng Jinye, who was sitting across from him.

I saw that Feng Jinye's angular handsome face outlined a regretful smile.

is obviously a handsome man like a god, but his face is extremely pale, and there is a sickness all over his body.

"I haven't seen it. On the birthday of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was going to go, but my illness suddenly occurred that day, and I couldn't go out. ”

When the three of them heard this, they all turned their eyes to him.

Seeing his pale face and bloodless lips, the three of them felt a wave of sympathy and regret in their hearts at the same time.

Brother Feng has been sick for five years, and he has never been better, but there are signs of getting worse and worse, which is really a headache.

The handsome man who was gentle and elegant, handsome and dusty in the past, was tortured by illness and became so lifeless now.

Seeing that everyone looked at him with regret in their eyes, Feng Jinye smiled slightly and said, "Why do you look at me like this? ”

The three of them came back to their senses, and they were all a little embarrassed.

Xiahou Ming hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You saw the kid next to Mu Qingyue just now, right?" That child was her son. However, no one knows who his father is! ”

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, and deliberately lowered his voice, looking mysterious.

"Nowadays, in the capital, many people are speculating about who the father of the child is. Who do you think the father of the child will be? ”

Xia Houyi, who had never made a sound, glanced at him expressionlessly: "It's really boring!" ”

Knowing that his third brother is already a cold character, Xia Houming naturally won't bother with him.

Still with a curious look on his face, Xia Houming said, "What's the point of guessing? Can she Mu Qingyue still hear it? ”

What he didn't know was that Mu Qingyue, who walked into the wing, was standing by the window at this time, looking at them through the gap in the window.

Even if there is a certain distance, for her with deep internal strength, this distance does not prevent her from hearing the conversation of the four people.

"Ziyun, who are the three people except the crown prince?"

His eyes still fell on the four of them, and Mu Qingyue asked Ziyun beside him in a low voice.

Ziyun leaned over and looked through the crack in the window.

"Miss, the one sitting on the right hand side of the crown prince is the person who is speaking now, it is the fourth prince Xiahou Ming. On the left hand side of the crown prince is the proton sent to Dongluo by the Nanyao Kingdom, the prince of Fengjin Yefeng, and opposite the prince is the third prince Xiahou Yi. ”

Mu Qingyue bowed her head lightly and continued to look at the four people.

Among the four, Feng Jinye sat with her back to her, so that she couldn't see each other's appearances.

can see Xiahou Ming and Xiahou Yi clearly, as well as the crown prince Xiahou Lin.

She didn't speak again, and continued to listen to the conversation between the four.

This side of the table.

Xiahou Ming touched his chin with a contemplative expression on his face: "It is said that even Mu Qingyue doesn't know who the child's father is. ”

"Okay, fourth brother." Xia Houlin cleared his throat and said, "Why are you asking so much about other people's affairs?" Who is the father of the child, and what does it have to do with you and me? ”

Xiahou Ming pursed his lips and said, "Brother Huang, why do you even say that?" I don't happen to see her, just talk about it. ”

"Eat." Xiahou Lin glanced at him and said angrily.

Xiahou Ming still wanted to speak, but was preempted by Feng Jinye: "Fourth prince, let's eat first." Be careful that the wall has ears, this is heard by others, but I am afraid that it will not be good. ”

"Brother Feng is right." Xia Houyi suddenly spoke again, still concise and to the point.

Seeing that the three of them were not interested, Xiahou Ming also felt bored, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Mu Qingyue, who was in the wing, saw that the four of them were no longer talking, so she closed the window and walked back to the table and sat down.

However, what she didn't know was that at the moment when she closed the window, Feng Jinye, who had been sitting with her back to her, inadvertently turned around and looked at her.

His pale face was as pale as paper, with a thoughtful expression.

"Miss." Ziyun came to Mu Qingyue's side and put a thick account book in front of her, "This is the restaurant's accounts for this year, please take a look at it." ”

Mu Qingyue opened the account book and looked at the neat records on it, only to feel that it was clear at a glance.

"Thank you for your hard work." Raising her eyes to look at Ziyun, she smiled and said, "By the way, if the water hasn't arrived yet?" ”

"Miss Hui, the slave has already sent someone to pass the word to Ruoshui, I believe she will appear soon."

As soon as Ziyun's words fell, he saw a secret door suddenly appear on a wall in the wing room.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful woman with a bewitching posture and silky eyes walked out from behind the secret door.

The woman is very beautiful, but her beauty is not as holy and elegant as Mu Qingyue's snow lotus.

Her beauty is like a seductive fox.

"Ruoshui has seen Miss." Coming to Mu Qingyue, Ruoshui bowed respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, she also handed a thick account book to Mu Qingyue: "Miss, this is the account of the gambling house this year. ”

"Let's put it down." Mu Qingyue said, motioning for Ruoshui to put the account book on the table.

Afterwards, Ziyun and Ruoshui both stood aside respectfully, patiently guarding Mu Qingyue to read the account book.

It was Mu Zixuan, who had been silently picking up rice, and his small body was twisting and twisting, like nails on the bench.

"Mother."

Turning his head to look at Mu Qingyue, he blinked his watery eyes and looked innocent and harmless.

Raising her eyes to look at him, Mu Qingyue immediately guessed his little thoughts.

"Go out and play if you want, remember, don't make trouble for me, and don't run away!"

"Zixuan remembered! Don't worry, Zixuan promises not to cause trouble! ”

A bright smile immediately bloomed on his little face, and he quickly sprang off the stool and ran out of the chamber with a smoke.

Looking at his anxious appearance, Mu Qingyue shook her head helplessly, while Ziyun and Ruoshui couldn't help but snicker.

"The little master is getting more and more naughty now." Ruoshui said with a smile.

Mu Qingyue sighed: "Who said it wasn't." ”

It's the age when even dogs hate it!

……

After Mu Zixuan left the wing, he first stood at the door for a while, his big eyes rolling slightly, and he looked around curiously.

From birth to now, this is the first time he has come to the capital.

Although he has been in the capital for a few days, his mother and he stayed at the inn at the beginning of the period.

went back to the prime minister's mansion, and he has been staying in the mansion again, but he has been suffocated.

Finally have a chance to come out today, and he will definitely have a good time!

In a very excited mood, Mu Zixuan ran towards the staircase with his short legs.

"Isn't that Mu Qingyue's son?" Xiahou Ming caught Mu Zixuan's figure and said, "This kid looks quite cute. ”

The other three also turned their heads to look, and as far as they could see, there was a small meat ball whirring, bouncing towards the staircase.

There was a bright smile on the white and tender face.

It does look cute, very innocent.

Xu was infected by the child's innocent smile, including Xiahou Yi, who was not smiling, and the four of them couldn't help but raise the corners of their lips.

"It seems that this Miss Muda has educated her son very well." Xia Houlin couldn't help but sigh.

He had also heard about it back then.

I heard that this Miss Muda gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and was finally sent to the countryside by the Prime Minister.

Presumably, in the past five years, the mother and son have been living in the countryside.

Although he also heard that on the old lady's birthday, the birthday gift given to the old lady by this Miss Mu Da was a big box of treasures.

I also wondered where she got so many treasures.

But he still firmly believes that in the past five years, the mother and son have been living in the countryside.

The eyes of the four of them were still on Mu Zixuan's body.

Suddenly, Mu Zixuan's small body bumped into a tall and burly man.

That man is fierce and vicious, five big and three thick, and he is not easy to get along with at first glance.

After Mu Zixuan bumped into the man, he was stunned and took two steps back and sat on the ground.

A dissatisfied look suddenly appeared on the little face, and he raised his head and glared at the stout man.

was startled by the other party's rough and fierce appearance.

But after taking a closer look, Mu Zixuan was suddenly surprised.

Isn't this the person my mother beat up in the inn that day?

Could it be that this is what his mother taught him, the so-called narrow road to the enemy?

No, no, it's supposed to be a narrow encounter!

The man also recognized Mu Zixuan, and his expression suddenly became fierce: "Okay, it turned out to be you stinky boy!" Where's your mother? ”

He hadn't forgotten how Mu Qingyue beat him that day!

Mu Zixuan quickly got up, put his hands around his chest, raised his head and looked at each other, looking untimid.

"Why are you looking for my mother?"

"Revenge, of course!" The man gritted his teeth.

Immediately after, he stretched out his hand to grab Mu Zixuan.
