Chapter 588: Scheming (2)
Shen Dan's sensibility made Changsheng feel slightly distressed. He sat up straight and grabbed her and let her lean into his arms. "Why are you always so sensible?"
Shen Dan smiled lightly, she dared to get close to him when she was not in front of others. She hugged him tightly, her hands straining harder and harder. She didn't want to back down everywhere, but she didn't dare to forget the queen's advice. Because of the mother, she ...... She's so scary.
After the next day, a gossip broke out in the palace for some reason. said that it was the crown princess, who had a closed door in front of His Royal Highness yesterday, and was thrown back before he saw the prince.
Mama Chen was so angry that she trembled when she heard what the little palace maids had learned, thinking that someone must have the intention of embarrassing the princess. She wanted to send someone out to inquire, but there was no one at hand who could summon her.
The matter was not big, but she tossed it around, but it made so much trouble that even Xie Zhenzhen knew.
Because of yesterday's incident, Xie Zhenzhen's heart was already a pimple, and when she heard about it today, she felt that she had lost a lot of face.
Just as she was about to get angry, she heard a report from the little eunuch outside.
"Your Highness has arrived!"
Xie Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this, and the resentment between her eyebrows suddenly faded a little. She took a deep breath and hurriedly got up to greet her.
Changsheng came to see her, just to come and see. If it weren't for Shen Dan's reminder, he would have forgotten about himself and hadn't been here for seven days.
"The concubine greets His Highness."
Changsheng reached out to help her and let her get up and speak.
Xie Zhenzhen held his hand, unwilling to let go for a while.
Changsheng stared at her, only to feel that something was wrong, there was obvious displeasure on her always peaceful and docile face, and her eyebrows were full of resentment.
Xie Zhenzhen looked at the prince for a moment, but she didn't say a word.
She didn't say a word, but she gave people the feeling that she had something to say.
Seeing her like this, Changsheng slowly lowered his hand. He sat in his chair with a gentle face, waiting unhurriedly for her to speak.
Xie Zhenzhen originally had a stomach full of things to say, but she didn't want to talk casually and annoy His Highness, so after she settled down, she said, "Why does Your Highness have time to come over today?" ”
Changsheng looked at her and said lightly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, come and accompany you." ”
If it weren't for yesterday's events, Xie Zhenzhen would only feel happy when she heard this, but now, her heart is up and down, and she has no rules.
"What? Shouldn't I have come today? ”
Xie Zhenzhen shook her head again and again when she heard this.
"How so? His Royal Highness has not come to the concubine for a long time. ”
Changsheng smiled faintly: "It's only a few days." ”
Xie Zhenzhen suddenly said: "The concubine had already arrived outside the Heart Cultivation Hall yesterday, but the concubine still left. ”
After she said this, she deliberately turned her back so that the prince would not see her face.
Hearing this, Changsheng took the oranges on the plate, put them in the palm of his hand and played with them, and then put them down and said, "It seems that I shouldn't have come today." ”
He got up and wanted to leave, but Xie Zhenzhen hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, don't go...... The concubine still has something to say......"
Changsheng looked at her quietly, and after seeing her take a deep breath, he said again: "Your Highness, the concubine thinks it's time to give Miss Shen Dan a serious name." ”
Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The concubine knows that His Royal Highness cares about Shen Dan very much, since this is the case, why not give her a name." Xie Zhenzhen endured her emotions and pretended to be relaxed.
She didn't really speak for Shen Dan, she just thought that once she had a reputation, then she would be under her control for the rest of her life, and it would be the same after His Highness ascended the throne.
Although the current Shen Dan is nameless, insignificant, she is a unique existence for the prince.
"Why are you doing this?" Changsheng sighed: "She's just a palace maid." Why do you have to hold on to her? ”
Xie Zhenzhen was slightly stunned when she heard this, opened her mouth, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the concubine is a good ......."
Changsheng didn't wait for her to finish, then stretched out a finger and gently pressed her lips: "Don't be too greedy, hold on to what you already hold in your hand, don't covet other people's things." You are my concubine, and when I ascend the throne, you will be the queen! ”
His eyes are sharp, and there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide.
"Whatever you want, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you. But what I can't give, you can't even touch, you know? ”
After Changsheng said this, he tapped her lips with his fingers.
Xie Zhenzhen froze in place, not knowing how to react for a while. She looked at Changsheng in a daze, and what Xi wanted to say suddenly grabbed her throat, and she couldn't make a sound anymore.
Changsheng patted her on the shoulder and said again: "You think about it, and when you figure it out, I'll come to see you." ”
Xie Zhenzhen stood in place, watching the prince throw his sleeves away, and a chill gradually came in his heart.
Why is he so ruthless...... So cold, so ruthless, as if his kindness to her in the past was disguised.
Mama Chen stood outside the hall, listening attentively to the movement inside, and inadvertently glanced at Xiao Chunzi opposite.
Xiao Chunzi looked contemptuous, and looked at Mama Chen unconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth.
Mama Chen frowned when she saw him sneering, and suddenly, as if she understood something.
After His Highness left, she walked quickly to the inner hall to see that Niangniang was sitting there in despair, her eyes a little dull.
"Niangniang...... Mama Chen walked slowly to her side and squatted down to look at her.
Xie Zhenzhen's eyes didn't move, just staring in one place.
Mama Chen was a little scared, and hurriedly called her a few more times.
Xie Zhenzhen was silently distracted, and after a long while, she said, "This palace is really a terrible place. ”
Her brainless words made Mama Chen even more uneasy.
……
The gossip about the princess Niangniang eating the closed-door soup spread and dispersed quickly.
Song Qing'er took her sister over to talk to Meng Xilan to relieve her boredom, and when she mentioned this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"The concubine shouldn't have said much. However, the heart of the crown princess is too high! ”
Song Qing'er helped her for a few days, but she felt that she was a person with low eyes, and she was also arrogant in her treatment of palace people.
Meng Xilan just smiled when she heard this: "Young and vigorous, it is inevitable to make mistakes." ”
"Back then, this palace also made a lot of mistakes......" She was halfway through her words, and her sister sent the peeled oranges over: "Queen Mother, please use it!" ”
Meng Xilan looked at her with a smile and took it in her hand: "Good boy." ”
The girl smiled sweetly and returned to Song Qing'er.
Song Qing'er stroked the back of her hand and signaled that she was doing well.
"Niangniang, I won't tell you anything, the concubine now thinks back to the past, and she only feels that she is also full of absurdity."
Song Qing'er hugged her sister and hugged her gently: "The concubine doesn't want anything now, she just wants to watch the princess grow up safely." ”
Meng Xilan nodded approvingly when she heard this: "You can think so, this palace is very pleased." After going around for more than ten years, we are all old......"
Song Qing'er chuckled when she heard this: "How can Niang Niang say that." You don't look old at all...... It's the same as back then, the same when the concubine first saw you. ”
She said this not against her will. Judging from her appearance, Meng Xilan has not changed much from back then, but her demeanor is different.
The vicissitudes between the eyebrows and eyes seem to have seen through everything in the world.
Meng Xilan's eyes were gloomy, looking at the jewel in Song Qing'er's arms, and her heart was filled with melancholy.
"It's a blessing for us to be able to watch our children grow up."
Song Qing'er saw that she was in a heavy mood, and she was a little concerned, and said busily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up now, and the blessing of the mother is still to come." ”
Hearing this, Meng Xilan lowered her head and stroked the folds on her skirt, and said secretly in her heart: Although the prince has grown up, he still has a long way to go......
A few days later, Qiao Huiyun entered the palace to meet Meng Xilan.
She was alone and didn't bring anyone, which inevitably made people feel a lot of heart.
Meng Xilan is now out of confinement, and her complexion is not bad, but the whole person still looks a little thin.
When the two met, they held hands and looked at each other, but they were speechless.
Chu Ansheng stood guard in the outer hall, beware of someone eavesdropping.
"...... Look at your complexion, are you all in good shape? Qiao Huiyun hesitated for a long time before asking this sentence.
Meng Xilan nodded again and again: "There is nothing wrong in this palace." My sister-in-law came over today, but there was something at home? ”
Anything related to the Meng family would make her nervous.
"I'm coming to the palace today to talk to you." Qiao Huiyun took a deep breath and said: "That child is very good, he can eat and sleep, not like an ordinary premature baby, his body is weak, and now he is chubby, and he is almost unable to hold it." ”
Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, and she held back her tears and said: "With the eldest sister-in-law to take care of, what else is there to worry about in this palace!" ”
Seeing her like this, Qiao Huiyun hurriedly turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Don't be sad, mother, I'm not here to make you sad. Actually......" she continued after a little slowdown, "the child is now over 100 days old, and it is time to choose a name." The big name was given by the master, although it was a concubine, but the master still used the word "green" and named Meng Qingchuan. ”
Brother Meng Xizhao has two sons under his knees, Meng Qingyun, Meng Qingrong, and now he has another son, Meng Qingchuan.
Meng Qingchuan...... Meng Xilan's heart was suffocated, her eyes glanced at Qiao Huiyun deeply, and she slowly shook her head: "How can this name work?" ”
Chu Jingchuan...... Meng Qingchuan...... What if someone notices a connection?
Seeing this, Qiao Huiyun hurriedly stroked the back of her hand and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, this name was set by the master, and there are eight characters as proof, others will not be careful." This name must have been decided, and if it is changed rashly, it will be suspected. ”
Meng Xilan was still worried, biting her lip and saying nothing. Qiao Huiyun said again: "Niangniang, the child's name has been decided, but the name of the milk has not yet been ...... Why don't you ask the mother to get one for him? So that the child can be touched by the blessings of the mother! ”
She's his biological mother, so she should give him a name.
Meng Xilan was full of concerns, and Qiao Huiyun said again: "Back then, Brother Yun'er's name was given by Niangniang. It doesn't hurt to take another one......"
It was the only place she could do her best with the child.
Meng Xilan had mixed feelings in her heart, tears were swaying in her eyes, and after thinking about it, she said in a trembling voice: "Let's call it Chuan'er." ”
The thoughts of the old people, this life can not be said clearly, only pinned on the word "Chuan", I hope that Chu Jingchuan's spirit in the sky can bless that child, his child......
