Volume 5 White Blade Chapter 38 Stand-in
When I came out of the Qianqing Palace, it was already the second day. The snow was still falling, and the umbrella that Miyi was holding was soon covered in snow. The stove in Chunxi's hand was specially prepared by Xuan Ye this morning, and he didn't bring it when he came over yesterday, and he froze Chunxi's hand, but he was very distressed.
Follow yesterday's route and go back. Mu Hui was sullen all the way, and she didn't speak. Occasionally, Chunxi and Miyi talked to her, but they only mumbled.
"What's wrong? Who provoked you again? Seeing her like this, Chunxi knew that something was wrong, but she didn't say anything, and a bad premonition flashed in her heart.
Mu Hui glanced up at Chunxi, still hesitating in her heart, what do you say? Or don't say?
Mi saw her hesitation, and also persuaded: "Sister Mu, just say what you have, it's stuffy like this, let's look at it and worry about it, and the mother should be worried for a while." ”
Mu Hui still didn't say anything, and she didn't know what to say, she just sighed secretly, and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay to eat in the morning, eat more, and eliminate your food." ”
Mi Yi really thought so, "oh", and left her alone.
Chun Xi was even more sure that Mu Hui had something hidden in her heart. It's just that she didn't want to say it, so Chunxi didn't ask any more.
After returning to Yikun Palace, Mu Hui said that she was not feeling well, so she would go back to the room to rest for a while. Chun Xi agreed, and only asked Mu Hui to arrange for someone to clean up Yinqi's residence a little later, and prepare it according to the style he likes on weekdays.
Chunxi only left Miyi to wait alone, read the book for a while, and felt a little weak, snuggled on the couch, let Miyi burn the fire in the carbon basin more vigorously, and told her not to disturb people if she had nothing to do, she could go by herself if she had nothing to do.
Mu Hui returned to the room, Xu was worried about something, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, neither sitting on the bed nor lying down.
After Fu'er put Brother Eleven to sleep, she went back to the room to take a nap, and saw that Mu Hui was still dull, so she sat on the edge of her bed and asked her softly, "Sister Mu hasn't slept yet?" Or just woke up? ”
Mu Hui heard Fu'er's voice, turned around and sat up, seeing that no one else was following up, she took her hand and said in a low voice: "There is something that I have been hiding in my heart, whether to say it or not, I am still hesitant in my heart." Alas! I've been bored for so long, and I'm tired of it. ”
"What's the matter?" Fu'er saw her sad face, and sighed in her heart, feeling a bad premonition.
"Alas! I don't know if I'm too careful. Mu Hui said anxiously: "Yesterday, I accompanied Niangniang to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor and met Jing Guiren. ”
"But what did Jing Guiren do? What was said? Fu'er guessed, but after thinking about it, something was wrong: "But Niangniang didn't feel anything when she came back, but you were bored alone." ”
"It has something to do with her, but the words don't come out of her mouth." Mu Hui sighed: "Yesterday, I saw that Gonggong Wei saw Niangniang in the past, and his face was wrong, so I pulled him aside to ask, but who knew that he asked something bad." ”
"Oh, what the hell is it, you hurry up and say it, but I'm in a hurry." Fu'er is also anxious, it has something to do with Jing Guiren, and it must have something to do with Chunxi.
"Don't worry, I'm not talking about it." Mu Hui pursed her lips, why was she more anxious than herself: "Yesterday, I heard Gonggong Wei say that the emperor went out of the palace before and met Jing Guiren outside the palace. The place where the two met was quite special, and it turned out to be the place where Empress Renxiao and the emperor had made a relationship. ”
"What do you mean?" Fu'er wondered: "If the emperor went there to remember the deceased Empress Renxiao, then what did Jing Guiren do?" Moreover, she didn't stay in the palace well, how did she get out of the palace. ”
"It is said that she left the palace to visit relatives, and I don't know what method she used to get out." As soon as Mu Hui mentioned this, she felt panicked in her heart, and said angrily: "If you visit your relatives, you should visit your relatives well, wouldn't it be good to go back to the palace when you're done, why go to that hillside to enjoy some snow." The snow on the hillside wasn't always beautiful. I think she did it on purpose, waiting for the emperor there. ”
"Maybe Jing Guiren really just happened to meet. It's a coincidence, but where can I say for sure? "Fu'er doesn't dare to guess, things must always develop in a good direction.
"It's such a coincidence, maybe it's deliberate. must have known that the emperor would go at that time, so he stayed there first. Don't they all say that she and Empress Renxiao are carved out of the same mold? must want to use this skin to seduce the emperor. appeared in front of the emperor when he missed Empress Renxiao, which made people mistakenly think that he saw the one he was thinking about. Mu Hui said what she had been thinking about for a long time, she thought about it many times, and all kinds of possibilities were ruled out one by one, and this was the most likely.
"Is she willing to be the stand-in for Empress Renxiao?" Fu'er was stunned, a little incredulous. Women don't want their husbands to love other women, let alone want to be the shadow of another person, Fu'er can't believe that Jinghao has such a good heart, for the glory of the family, for her own future, regardless of her own inner feelings, to be someone else's stand-in. Isn't she afraid, but the emperor is looking at others through her? In that case, she really doesn't feel bad in her heart? Really suffered? Fu'er was a little unconvinced, at least she didn't think that Jing Hao would be able to do it.
"Who knows what she thinks." Mu Hui was a little annoyed: "It's just that I don't know how to tell Niangniang about this, Niangniang is just happy that the fifth elder brother can come back to live, if she says this matter, it will inevitably affect her mood again." ”
Fu'er comforted: "Don't worry, we haven't figured out what is going on here, and we can't easily talk to my mother, so as not to add to our troubles." What's more, we should also believe in the emperor's sincerity to our mother. Even if the emperor occasionally misses Empress Renxiao, they are married after all, and Empress Renxiao has been dead for many years, so they should naturally miss it. But if the Jing nobles want to compete for favor through Queen Renxiao, I am afraid that they may not be able to succeed. Not to mention whether Empress Renxiao occupies an important position in the emperor's heart, even if she does. She has been dead for many years, this relationship should have changed, and our mother is always with you, even if she comes back from the dead, she may not be able to take the favor of our mother, why should you worry about a replacement? ”
"I'm just a little scared inexplicably, after all, Jing Guiren came back with the emperor, and the two stayed overnight together." Mu Hui sighed: "Jing Guiren has never slept before." ”
"It's been almost a year since she entered the palace, and she should have gone to bed a long time ago." Fu'er said: "Maybe it is because she has not been sleeping that the people of their clan are afraid that she will die in the palace, so they thought of such a way to help her." This is just the beginning, so let's watch the situation first, and if it's really as we guessed, we might as well make plans early. ”
"Having said that, I have something on my mind, and I always feel bad about my mother." Mu Hui propped her head and looked out the window. The snow was falling, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"What's wrong?" Mu Hui was in a daze, but she heard a sound of suffocation at the door.
"Mother." Mu Hui and Fu'er both turned around when they heard the sound and got out of bed to greet them.
"Did you hear it?" Mu Hui's face flushed, a little embarrassed.
"Looking at your appearance today, I know that there must be something to hide, you have been like this since you were a child, and you can't hide your heart. If something happens, pretend to be sick and say that you are not feeling well. She smiled at her, walked over to her bed and sat down, and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Chun Xi asked.
Mu Hui had to tell everything she knew, and her eyes kept staring at Chunxi, for fear that she would be unhappy. But the more she talked about it, the more she said her conjecture with Fu'er, the more she found that the smile on her face was even stronger.
"I thought you were going to talk about something, but this is it. Come on, guess it, I'll tell you the answer. Chun Xi smiled: "Yesterday, the emperor has told the palace the ins and outs of this matter. You are not all wrong, the emperor went out of the palace to remember Empress Renxiao, the difference is a chance encounter, it is actually the emperor's own arrangement. ”
Under the surprised gazes of Mu Hui and Fu'er, Chun Xi continued: "The palace can't say much about specific things, but we just know this matter in our hearts, and the emperor has his own reasons for doing this." What's more, as the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, he has three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is very common for him to be alone. Don't make yourselves unhappy because of these things. Why bother? ”
"But I always feel uncomfortable." Mu Hui muttered: "If we are usually lucky to have a concubine, we will naturally not have other ideas, but we still feel bad when we go outside to make such a scene." ”
"It's okay, this palace doesn't care, don't worry about it. Lead the people under you well, and arrange the fifth elder brother's return well. Chunxi took Mu Hui's hand, but she hadn't seen her make trouble for a long time, and now she was worried about herself, and she was very moved.
"The slave is just worried too much, and now that the matter is clear, it will be fine." Mu Hui said with a smile. This is also the first time she has shown a smile today, and there is nothing to do in her heart, and the whole person feels relaxed. Thinking back to today's awkward day, I feel funny again.
"Slave maid, take a look at the ninth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother." With that, he stood up and walked out the door.
"Eleven has already slept, and Yinyu went to Yongshou Palace to find Yin's naughty." Chunxi kindly reminded her, knowing that she was making an excuse to escape again, and hurriedly called people back.
Mu Hui stood in place awkwardly, thought for a while, and then whispered, "Then I'd better go and see what they prepared for the fifth elder brother." ”
After speaking, he disappeared in front of the door like smearing oil on the soles of his feet. The young man and the whisk in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile.
After talking to Fu'er for a while, Chun Xi also stood up: "You sleep for a while, the eleventh side of the palace has already sent someone to watch, you can sleep more with peace of mind." ”
"Thank you, mother." Fu'er sent Chunxi out, and then went back to her bed and lay down.
