After a few small talks, Mu Qi left.

Although Xia Muyao didn't have much appetite, thanks to Mu Qi's kindness, the food made in the dining room was exquisite and cute, but she also ate a lot, especially the black chicken soup that night, Mu Qi specially told Xia Muyao that this was made by the old princess in the dining room, and the old princess was hot.

Xia Muyao drank black chicken soup, thinking about what happened between her and the old princess from the first time she saw her, this old lady is indeed as Mu Qi said, she is serious and domineering on the outside, but she is still full of kindness in her bones, this, Huerhe is very similar to the old princess, under the sharp appearance, who would know his tenderness for Xia Muyao.

Thinking of this, Xia Muyao smiled in a trance.

In the afternoon, Xia Muyao drank the decoction, slept for a while, sweated again, and felt much more relaxed than in the morning.

During this period, Huerhe came back to see her, and when he saw that she was sleeping peacefully, he didn't disturb her, but just told Qiu Lian to take care of her and left. Since he came to Yuanjing, all kinds of invitations have been densely arranged, some can be refused, but some have to go, so that he has no time to separate.

When Xia Muyao woke up, it was already dusk, and Huerhe had already left a message, he would not eat in the palace tonight, let Xia Muyao eat by himself, and he would rush back as soon as possible.

Xia Muyao listened to Qiu Lian's reply, and there was a little melancholy in her heart, but she also knew that it was impossible for a man like Huerhe to do nothing every day, and only accompany her in the mansion.

After dinner, Mu Qi came with the servant who delivered the meal again, and when he saw Xia Muyao, he was full of joy.

Except for Zhao Yuanting and Huerhe, Xia Muyao has never been treated so sincerely, and her good impression of Mu Qi has gradually become stronger, and she can't help but smile on her face, and she looks very gentle.

"King Yan went to the Hou Ye Mansion today, the Hou Ye is older, and his prestige in the court is very high, this time he will not push the cup to change the lamp and stay for a while, brother and sister, you have eaten, if you are tired, rest early." Mu Qi instructed his subordinates to put dinner on the table, and said to Xia Muyao with a smile.

Xia Muyao nodded and replied softly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Hearing Xia Muyao say this, Mu Qi took Xia Muyao's hand, "Don't be polite to my sister-in-law, King Yan and my prince are brothers, so we are also the closest people." ”

Xia Muyao nodded slightly. She recovered from her illness for the first time, her expression was clear, and she became more and more delicate and moving, Mu Qi also liked it in her heart, and couldn't help laughing: "King Yan is really blessed, and he can also find this fairy-like woman."

After listening to Mu Qi's joke, Xia Muyao's little face was slightly embarrassed, but her heart was warm.

****

At night, Huerhe really didn't come back for a long time, Xia Muyao rested on the bed, but she couldn't sleep well, she didn't know when she woke up again, and she didn't know how many days it was, so she got up with her clothes on.

On the porch, Qiu Lian was already lying down, and when she heard the movement, she got up busily.

"Qiu Lian, what time is it?" Xia Muyao asked.

"The third watch that just knocked." Qiu Lian hurriedly replied.

Xia Muyao was not very happy in her heart, it was already three watches, Huerhe shouldn't come back, right?

"I don't know which Hou Ye's Mansion my sister-in-law is talking about today......," Xia Muyao said to herself. Should you get drunk? Will there be a concubine with you?

Anyway, if Huerhe doesn't come back, she just can't rest assured.

"Qiu Lian, come with me to that Hou Ye's Mansion, King Yan is probably drunk." After wandering around the room for a while, Xia Muyao said to Qiu Lian.

Qiu Lian didn't dare to speak with her mouth open, this princess is too nonsense, if King Yan stayed in the Hou Ye's Mansion, she would have slept a long time ago at this hour, she went to the door like this, in case there was a concubine who slept with King Yan by his side, maybe there would be a big mess.

Seeing that Qiu Lian was silent, Xia Muyao turned around and put on her cloak, "Don't be stunned, let's go." ”

Qiu Lian didn't dare to stop it, and then followed behind in embarrassment, and walked for a while, but after all, she couldn't hold back, and muttered in a low voice: "Princess, it's better to forget it, your body is just right, don't suffer from the cold again, King Yan should come back and will come back naturally."

"No, if he gets drunk, it's inconvenient to stay in someone else's mansion." Xia Muyao didn't even think about replying.

Qiu Lian didn't say anything anymore, and followed Xia Muyao with a pout, she walked so fast that she almost couldn't keep up with her. Qiu Lian knew the princess's thoughts, she was afraid that King Yan would not sleep comfortably, obviously because she was afraid that King Yan would sleep on his pillow.

Thinking of this, Qiu Lian smiled secretly, she usually looked at the princess lightly, but she didn't expect that the vinegar was strong enough.

At the gatehouse, Xia Muyao instructed the porter not to make a noise, quietly set up a carriage, and took her to the Hou Ye's mansion.

The streets are lonely in the middle of the night, and the horses' hooves clatter on the ground, making a clattering sound, which makes the night even more quiet.

Xia Muyao sat in the carriage with her back straight, she only thought about picking up Huerhe back, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she was doing. I don't think I'm a little weird anymore.

Hou Ye's Mansion, with two big red lanterns at the door, the door of the mansion is closed.

Jiading got out of the carriage and buckled the door buckle, and after a while, the porter of the Hou Ye's Mansion opened the door, and the housekeeper whispered who was sitting in the carriage, and before the words fell, Xia Muyao had already gotten off the carriage.

"Is King Yan still in the mansion?" Xia Muyao looked at the concierge and asked lightly.

"In, in." The porter nodded suspiciously, "Rong Xiao, go and tell Master Hou." ”

"No need, you can take me to see King Yan." After Xia Muyao finished speaking, she had already stepped into the Hou Ye's Mansion.

The porter hurriedly followed, not knowing what to do, until Xia Muyao stood at the fork in the road and looked back at the porter, "Where does King Yan live?" ”

"King Yan should be staying in the guest room, here." The porter had never seen this kind of scene, and the lady was looking for her husband in the middle of the night, so Xia Muyao was stunned for a moment when she asked anything.

Xia Muyao walked all the way to the depths of the Hou Mansion, walked to the backyard, and the concierge found a family member who kept vigil at night, and inquired about the courtyard where Huerhe stayed at night. ”

Xia Muyao followed the direction pointed by the family and went to the courtyard.

The maidservant girl in the courtyard came out and opened the door, thinking that something big had happened, but she saw that the porter was carrying two strange women, one was dressed as a subordinate, and the other was stunningly charming, with an indifferent face, and she didn't even look at her, so she went all the way to the courtyard.

The maidservant turned her head to look at the porter, who was also at a loss, and was silent, and they stood at the door, not knowing whether to follow up or not.

Qiu Lian followed, stopped at the door of the bedroom, and waited.

Xia Muyao entered the bedroom, the bedroom was so warm, and a few oil lamps were hung, reflecting the room revealing a little ambiguous.

Through the bed veil, Xia Muyao had already seen Huerhe sleeping on the bed, and there was a woman lying next to him, hearing the movement, she turned her head to look at Xia Muyao in a daze, and muttered, "Who?"

Xia Muyao gritted her teeth, stepped forward in a few steps, tore off the bed veil, and said to the woman on the bed, "Go away."

The woman on the bed was completely awake, she sat up, her delicate figure was exposed, she looked at Xia Muyao for a while, she didn't know her, and said, "Master Hou asked you to serve King Yan?"

Xia Muyao didn't say a word, pulled the woman off the bed, and then sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Huerhe, who was wearing close-fitting clothes and seemed to be sleeping very solidly.

"King Yan has been asleep?" Xia Muyao asked the stunned concubine on the side.

"Yes, King Yan drank too much." The woman whispered back, then asked, "Who are you?"

"Princess Yan." Xia Muyao gently spit out three words.

When the woman heard this, she lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

****

"Huerkh, wake up." Xia Muyao bent over and whispered in Huerhe's ear. As soon as she got close to him, she smelled the wine.

Huerhe's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't respond.

"Huerkh." Xia Muyao's voice was a little louder, startling the woman on the side, this Princess Yan dared to call the name of King Yan.

Huerhe opened his eyes slightly, and Xia Muyao's little face stretched out in front of him, making him feel like he was in a dream, "Yao'er? While calling, Huerhe stretched out his big hand and gently stroked Yao'er's little face, the temperature of Yao'er's little face passed down his fingertips to Huerhe's brain, and he was completely awake, opened his eyes, and looked at Xia Muyao suspiciously.

Xia Muyao straightened up, "It's late at night, seeing that you haven't returned home, I'll take a look." ”

Huerhe stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, then sat up from the bed and smiled, "I don't know why, I drank a little hard today, I thought I would go back to the house after a while, but I didn't expect to fall asleep." ”

Then, when Huerhe saw the woman standing on the ground, he asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"

"When I came, she was lying next to you, and I don't know who she was." Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe and replied lightly.

Huerhe raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman, "Say, who are you?" ”

"Back to King Yan, the concubine is the singer of the Hou Mansion, and she sang for King Yan at the banquet tonight, and the concubine was ordered by the Hou Ye to serve." The singer hurriedly knelt down and replied.

Huerhe let out a long sigh, then waved his hand at the woman, and said with a look of annoyance, "Go ahead."

The singer hurriedly took her clothes and hurriedly withdrew.

In the bedroom, only Huerhe and Xia Muyao looked at each other quietly.

"You actually chased me to the Hou Mansion? Why? With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Huerhe asked Xia Muyao in a low voice.

"It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have come to disturb your Spring Festival." Xia Muyao got up, and her tone contained the bitterness that she was unexpectedly aware.

"Don't go yet, let me hug me," Huerhe pulled Xia Muyao into his arms and coaxed softly: "You have also seen that nothing has happened between me and that singer."

"What does it matter to me, even if it happens?" Xia Muyao's mouth has always been tough, and what she says is often wrong, "You are the King of Yan, and you need a woman to accompany you when you sleep, isn't this kind of thing very common?" ”
