Chapter 113: Banquet in the Middle Palace (1)
I don't know what kind of tongue Imperial Doctor Li chewed with His Majesty the Emperor, and when His Majesty the Emperor returned to Qingliang Hall after handling government affairs, his expression was slightly strange. However, Mrs. Xiao didn't pay attention, she had just finished drinking the medicine, she was in a bad mood, and her face was as bitter as the medicine.
Seeing Mu Yunqing, Xiao Yuexi barely cheered up: "Are you back?" ”
"Hmm." Mu Yun walked up to her lightly, and when she saw her look, she also knew that she had just taken the medicine, so she said, "Okay, the left and right have already drunk it, so don't taste it here, go and lie down." ”
Xiao Yuexi rolled her eyes and said in a lamented voice, "How long are you going to lock me in the house?" ”
Mu Yunqing: "Is it important to have a moment of pleasure or is it important to be physical?" ”
"Pleasure." Xiao Yuexi replied without hesitation.
Mu Yun laughed angrily at her, and then said helplessly: "If you obediently go to take a nap, I may consider letting Ling Che come over for you to play in the afternoon." ”
He Tong, who was standing outside, trembled in horror, although he could also see that Mrs. Xiao was very good at playing with children, but it was extremely terrifying for His Majesty the Emperor to say such words so blatantly.
Mrs. Xiao in the palace didn't buy it: "Are you coaxing me as a three-year-old child?" Besides, if you let the Queen Mother hear this, she still has to be angry? ”
Mu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked with interest, "Isn't that what you think?" ”
Xiao Yuexi choked.
Mu Yunqing: "You are indeed not a three-year-old child, Ling Che was not as laborious as you when he was three years old. ”
Xiao Yuexi: "......"
Mu Yun chuckled lightly, and said softly after a while: "Okay, go sleep for a while, from tomorrow you will go out even if you don't want to go out." ”
"Why?" Xiao Yuexi tilted her head and asked.
Mu Yun lightly took away the empty water cup in Xiao Yuexi's hand, naturally poured her a glass of water and handed it back, and then said, "Don't you like to be stuffy in the house?" Then go join in the fun. Tomorrow, Lu Jinxiu will hold a small banquet in the Jiaofang Palace, enjoy the chrysanthemums and taste tea, and invite all the people who have a place in the palace, you will also show your face? ”
When Xiao Yuexi heard this, her face was even more bitter, and she sighed: "Who would have thought that I would be reduced to picking flowers and grass with a group of delicate women? ”
Mu Yun chuckled, leaned over her ear and asked in a low and deep voice, "Do you regret it?" ”
The deep voice was extremely lethal, Xiao Yuexi had no power to resist, only felt that her scalp was numb, and her face turned red unconsciously.
"Huh?" Mu Yun's single note made Xiao Yuexi inexplicably hear a hint of danger, and hurriedly smiled as if he was making up for it: "Where is it, you are thinking too much!" ”
Mu Yun took Xiao Yuexi's shoulder, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's too late to regret it, I won't let you run away in this life!" ”
Xiao Yuexi leaned on him, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised, and she said, "Who is going to escape?" ”
In the end, Xiao Yuexi couldn't resist His Majesty the Emperor, and the medicine came up to get sleepy, so she went back to bed and lay down.
Lying on his side facing outward, when he opened his eyes, he could see that Mu Yunqing had set up a small case review not far away, with a window curtain in the middle, and his figure seemed a little unreal.
After looking at it for a while, Mu Yunqing finally couldn't bear to raise his eyes and ask, "Aren't you sleepy?" Isn't it sleepy to keep looking at me? ”
"Sleepy." Xiao Yuexi yawned lazily as she spoke.
Mu Yun looked at her helplessly and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Xiao Yuexi pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh! Does the emperor know me like this? ”
Mu Yunqing: "......"
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Yuexi said. "I just want to say, the middle palace has a banquet, and there are one by one, as if they can't speak if they don't have yin and yang, you let me go, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to bear to fight with others?"
Mu Yun lightly finished approving a book and put it away, then picked up a new one, and said without raising his head: "No one can beat you, what am I afraid of?" ”
Xiao Yuexi: "......"
She was so choked that she didn't know how to answer, and it took a while before she remembered to ask: "Your Majesty, is this barbaric?" ”
Mu Yun smiled lightly like a big-tailed fox, and it was a big-tailed fox with a tail that was about to rise to the sky. He said: "Where, as a husband, I like my wife to be so frank." ”
Xiao Yuexi's face flushed, she turned over and didn't look at him, and she fell asleep after a while.
Xiao Yuexi slept for more than an hour, and when she woke up, Mu Yunqing was not there, and Mu Lan was guarding her.
"Madame awake?" Mu Lan's face was full of joy that could not be hidden, as if it was not just a trip out to play.
Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you pick up the gold?" Joy is like this. ”
Mu Lan said excitedly: "It's better than picking up gold!" Madam, the slave returned home today and learned that Mrs. Decree was seven months pregnant! ”
"What, what?!" Xiao Yuexi's hand shook, thinking that she had misheard.
Mu Lan was so happy that she almost jumped on the spot twice, and you can imagine how excited she must be to come back all the way.
Mu Lan said: "Count it up, that is, the time before the lady entered the palace." At first, it was because Mrs. Decree believed in the saying that 'women do not say it to the public in the first three months of pregnancy', and then they caught up with the change of season, and Mrs. Decree had an attack of old illness, and she was afraid that she would not be able to keep the child, so she told you that it made you sad, so she kept it and did not say it, so it was easy to stabilize it, and you ran to Binzhou again. ”
Xiao Yuexi's eyes were red, she didn't know...... She didn't even know it! Although she has not experienced it, she has also heard more or less that women have the pain of pregnancy and discomfort, and her sister-in-law, who is already frail, has been alone in the Hou Mansion for seven months, and she almost can't keep the child in the middle......
Just thinking of this, Xiao Yuexi felt full of self-blame.
"Mrs. Xiao!" An immature Tongyin broke the delicate atmosphere, and Mu Lingche ran in in a hurry, followed by Mu Yunqing.
As soon as he entered the door, Mu Yunqing noticed that Xiao Yuexi was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Are you crying? ”
Xiao Yuexi came back to her senses, rubbed her eyes, and said, "No! I'm happy, you don't know yet...... My sister-in-law, my sister-in-law, she is seven months pregnant. ”
Mu Yunqing was also a little surprised, and after understanding what had happened, he smiled and said, "This is a good thing, why are you crying?" ”
Xiao Yuexi smiled and nodded, but her eyes were still red: "Yes, it's a good thing......"
His Majesty the Emperor really called His Highness the Sixth Highness over, but instead of really playing with Mrs. Xiao, he asked about his homework. It is already great for a child of ordinary people to be able to memorize a thousand-character essay at the age of six, but this unlucky child has to memorize the rhyme of the dragon, and if he can't recite it, his imperial brother's face will be very dark, which scares the little doll to make frequent mistakes and tremble.
It's easy to memorize, and Xiao Yuexi has gone from crying with joy just now to laughing and enduring a stomachache. She said: "His Royal Highness the Sixth is also too powerful, I stumbled over the three-character scripture when I was as old as you." ”
Mu Lingche's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was about to answer with joy, but his imperial brother said with a straight face: "As a royal disciple, I don't expect you to expand your territory and become a generation of famous generals and virtuous kings, but you must always know the world and know the world, right?" The Communist Party of China will let you learn these few books, expecting you to lay a good foundation before entering Taixue, you are good, you will think about having fun all day long, what do you want! ”
His Royal Highness trembled again, and instinctively shrank back to Mrs. Xiao's side.
Xiao Yuexi smiled and put her hand on his shoulder, turned her head and said softly to Mu Yun: "Don't be so strict with the emperor!" Look at the six highnesses frightened. ”
His Majesty the Emperor faced Mrs. Xiao, who was smiling like a flower, and the ending was miserable. His gaze softened, and when he turned his head to speak to Mu Lingche, his tone was much softer: "Go back and read a good book, so that your mother and I can save some snacks." ”
Mu Lingche replied "yes" sullenly, bowed respectfully and withdrew.
Xiao Yuexi watched him leave, then turned her head to look at Mu Yunqing, and asked suspiciously: "How old is the Sixth Highness, are you too strict?" ”
Mu Yunqing's gaze fell on her face, his expression was focused and serious, and he said: "My position is envied by everyone, and everyone is fighting endlessly, but I myself don't like to be in this position at all. Many times, I prefer that I can be an idle prince like the Four Emperor Brothers, after all, in that case, I can travel all over the country with you, or simply find a remote area to educate the people and be an idle county king, how good? ”
Xiao Yuexi couldn't help but imagine that picture with his gentle tone, and he still felt very beautiful.
I only heard Mu Yun say lightly: "In the future, when we have a child, I don't need him to become a generation of Ming Jun, I just want him to be safe and healthy, and he will have no worries for a lifetime." ”
Isn't this Xiao Yuexi's wish? She is willing to be in this huge cage called "Gong Yu", because there is a Mu Yunqing in it, but after all, she can no longer act arbitrarily and arbitrarily, in contrast, she is also willing to give up brocade clothes and jade food and wander the rivers and lakes.
Suddenly aware of His Majesty the Emperor's intentions, Xiao Yuexi didn't even care about feeling shy about the words "our child", and said a little stunned: "You want to ......"
"Shh Mu Yun interrupted her with a chuckle: "It's good to know, you don't have to say it." What do you think? ”
Xiao Yuexi was stunned, and then laughed: "It's okay!" It's so decided, in the future, the mountains and rivers will be visited by you and me, carefree! ”
"Hmm!" Mu Yun nodded solemnly, suddenly leaned forward, pulled the distance between him and Xiao Yuexi, and muttered in an ambiguous tone: "So Madame should hurry up and take care of herself." ”
Such a demeanor, such words, combined with the sentence "our child" just now, even if Xiao Yuexi had not understood his intentions, he hurriedly fled back to the inner hall with a red face, and His Majesty the Emperor behind him smiled extremely happily.
During dinner, Mu Yun said lightly: "Tomorrow's small banquet, you don't have to worry too much, just act with your heart." You still have the power to associate the six palaces, and your position is only below Lu Jinxiu, so you don't need to look at anyone. ”
