Chapter Twenty-Three: Lying and Fake Pregnancy

Mu Xuefu smiled slightly, looked at him, and said nothing.

The moonlight poured on the earth like water, covering the earth with a white veil. The full moon hangs in the dark night sky, peeling away the layers of clear clouds, like smoke and mist, and covering the mystery. The moonlight echoes with the starlight in the sky, and it seems to be in the vast sky in the haze.

The silver-white moonlight reflected on her face, the white and flawless jade face was as clear as a peeled egg, and the starlight reflected into her eyes, looking forward to the brilliance and brilliance. It really responds to the sentence that is as bright as spring and as beautiful as the autumn moon. It was as if just one look at her would dim everything around her.

Jing Rong's heart froze, and he was shocked to realize that he was confused by beauty, and coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment in his heart. He tightened his hands, hugged her tighter, and placed her head on his shoulder, and only said two words briefly, "Admire the moon." ”

Looking at the embarrassment that flashed in his eyes, Mu Xuefu smiled secretly and said, "The moon is not as beautiful as the prince." ”

Her voice was so soft that only Jing Rong could hear it, and he stretched out his other hand and touched her face, "The moon is not as beautiful as Concubine Ai." ”

If Mu Xuefu had usually knocked this hand down, but today she didn't move, but was caressed by him. looked at Princess Sanssouci with faint eyes, raised eyebrows, and the meaning of provocation was obvious. What belongs to her, only she is willing to give, no one can come to the door to grab it. Besides, why not abuse the daughter of the Dog Emperor?

The flames in Princess Sanssouci's eyes kept burning, igniting a flame of anger, and looking at the smugness between her eyebrows, she was extremely resentful. This woman took away her wish for more than ten years, took away her happiness, took away her brother Yuchen, and also occupied her position as the princess and occupied Brother Yuchen. She couldn't swallow this breath, and she couldn't wait to cut Mu Xuefu with a thousand knives to relieve her anger.

Mu Xuefu looked at the carefree princess who was burned with anger, chuckled, and shifted her gaze, just in time to meet the sinister gaze of Shanghua Mei'er who had not yet had time to retract. The eye waves were wandering, and she was still looking at Concubine Zhen next to her.

Leng Buding was looked at by the person who just wanted to calculate, Concubine Zhen was inevitably shocked, but then she thought that she was a favorite concubine, and she was just a princess, and she was just the emperor's nephew and daughter-in-law, so what was there to be afraid of. The corners of his mouth smeared a few evil smiles, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, it's really boring to just chat and admire the moon like this, it's better to do something else to increase the fun." ”

Emperor Xuanwu gradually became interested, and said: "Concubine Zhen has the most ghost ideas, but you have some ideas to talk about." ”

"This is what the emperor asked his concubines to say." Concubine Zhen glanced at Emperor Xuanwu with shame, then set her eyes on Mu Xuefu and their table, pointed at them, and said, "The concubine looks at the people at that table is extremely eye-catching, so I want the three princesses to perform a show." Princess Rui's zither is a must, Princess Huai's painting is a must, plus Princess Sanssouci's sword is a must, there are three uniques. And the concubine looked at Princess Chen's slender waist and limbs, walking like clouds and flowing water, at a glance, she had been practicing dance for many years, and she must be able to let us see the fourth unique. If everyone is lucky enough to see these four uniques, wouldn't it be a feast for the eyes? ”

As soon as Concubine Zhen's words fell, Mu Xuefu's originally smiling face suddenly disappeared, and a pair of cold eyes looked at her without warmth. Everyone knows that Guzheng calligraphy and painting and sword learning is elegant, only dancing is regarded as a vulgar thing, except for some young ladies who have not been out of the cabinet, only the dancing girl in the hook column will dance. And now Concubine Zhen actually compares her to a maiko in the Qinglou, which is a great insult to her.

Mu Xuefu's gaze slowly became cold, "I really can't live up to Concubine Zhen's thoughts, Xuefu has no talent and no virtue, let alone dancing, I'm afraid I can't let everyone see the four uniques." ”

"It doesn't matter how good you dance, you just have to dance as you like. Princess Chen is as beautiful as a fairy, just standing there is pleasing to the eye. If you want to stretch a little, it's already a must. Your Majesty, are you right when you say that you are concubines? "How could Concubine Zhen let go of such an opportunity, not only to humiliate her, but also to create an opportunity for Princess Sanssouci, presumably Princess Sanssouci's sword wanted to pierce her throat.

Concubine Wen is not stupid, and naturally knows that Concubine Zhen wants to use her daughter as a bird to deal with Mu Xuefu. She glanced at Wuwu's still secretly happy look, and shook her head helplessly. How much scheming did she use to climb from a little nobleman to a concubine, why is her daughter so stupid, can't she see Concubine Zhen's intentions? Her eyes swept over King Chen's face, and saw that he was already cold, and her heart was excited, so she interrupted: "Sister Zhenfei can't think about it when she talks like this, just thinking about making us pleasing to the eye, but I don't know if King Chen will be reluctant to let us look at it, maybe King Chen wants to enjoy this style alone, I'm afraid it's too late to hide it." ”

Concubine Zhen was stunned, but she didn't expect this Concubine Wen to help Mu Xuefu speak, and after thinking about it, she was in a state of silence. Who wants to have someone but doesn't want to leave it at that.

"Princess Chen is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, how can she be talentless and virtuous, I think Princess Chen is humble. Besides, everyone in the imperial city knows that the young ladies of Zuo Xiangmu's family are all beautiful and talented, and Princess Chen must have some talents. If it is really mediocre, it seems to be a waste of fame and loss of royal dignity. If Princess Chen is unwilling to dance, she can also show her talent in another way, if she can't do anything, she really can't say anything. "The person who spoke was the concubine who was sitting next to Emperor Xuanwu at the banquet before.

Mu Xuefu followed the voice and stared at her deeply. She was too far away just now, and she controlled herself not to look at Emperor Xuanwu, so she didn't see the woman's appearance clearly. At this time, he looked at it and said secretly: It is indeed a beauty, not to mention that she is comparable to Sister Rong, and she does not lose a few points, no wonder she has become the new favorite of Emperor Xuanwu.

These words were obviously agitated, but they made her a little speechless. If you don't show one or two, you will not only prove that you are talentless, but also lose the face of King Chen's Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion; But if you show one or two, I don't know how these women calculate themselves behind their backs. She has always liked to calculate others, and she never wants to be plotted.

"Concubine Li's words are good." Without waiting for Mu Xuefu to reply, Jing Rong beside him opened his mouth. Mu Xuefu furrowed her brows and looked at him, with dissatisfaction in her eyes. I saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, ignoring her angry glare, and continued: "It's just that Fu'er is already pregnant, and the doctor in the house said that it is only a month now, and the fetal image is not too stable.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people on the spot changed. Especially Hua Meier, the wine glass in her hand fell directly to the ground, and shards were splashed everywhere. Knowing that he was out of shape in front of everyone, he hurriedly got up and saluted Mu Xuefu, pulled out a far-fetched smile, and said, "The concubine is really happy, so she will lose her manners." Why didn't the princess say it in advance if she was pregnant, so that the concubine could serve on her side. The prince has an heir, and we are also rejoicing. ”

"No wonder I saw that you haven't been drinking alcohol just now, it turns out that it's because of this, why didn't you tell me?" Mu Yurong's eyes lit up, looked at her belly, and said happily.

Mu Xuefu smiled awkwardly and pinched Jingrong's palm. When did she get pregnant, and why didn't this man say that she was in heaven? What reason is he not easy to find, but he said this, what will she show to others in ten months?

"Really? That's great, why didn't Yuchen hide such a happy event? Emperor Xuanwu moved his eyebrows slightly, a slight stunned light flowed in his eyes, and he smiled and said.

Jingrong stood up and said, "Fu'er's body is weak, and the fetus is unstable, and the imperial nephew heard folk rumors that in order to ensure the stability of the fetus, it is best not to spread the word in the first three months." Therefore, I did not explain this matter to the emperor, and asked the emperor to forgive me. ”

"The concubine has heard of this rumor, saying that the child is squeamish, and it will not be announced until three months." The queen's eyebrows were soft, and she maintained a just right smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you see how much King Chen loves Princess Chen, but King Chen and his wife are really blessed, and they have just been married for more than two months." ”

"Well, it's a blessing." Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Mu Xuefu's stomach lightly, then glanced at everyone, and said: "It's a pity that Zuo Xiang didn't come today, if he comes, he will only close his mouth happily." He turned his head to look at Xu Shoudao, who was accompanying him on the side, and said, "Go and give the crystal jade carved ancient sea pearl in the treasury to Princess Chen, that thing can shake anything, and it will definitely allow her to raise the fetus safely." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's reward." Mu Xuefu then stood up and thanked Jing Rong before sitting down.

Concubine Zhen's proposal just now was lost because Princess Chen was pregnant, she glared at Hua Mei'er and whispered: "You don't even know if she is pregnant, it's really stupid." If it weren't for Hongu's proposal, you'd still be in the dark. I'm afraid that when everyone else is born, you don't know where it is. ”

Hua Mei'er thought about it and said, "But Mei'er has sent someone to inquire, the prince has never spent the night in the East Courtyard, how can there be children?" ”

Concubine Zhen stared at her, "Can't you have children without staying overnight?" Doesn't your prince go during the day? Such a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city, do you think your prince is a god, can he bear it? Just look at the intimacy of the two of them, you know how seductive she is in the palace! ”

"She is too shameless, and she also seduces the prince during the day." Hua Meier's face turned red, her cheeks swelled, and the silk silk in her hand was rubbed vigorously.

Concubine Zhen's gaze swirled lightly on Mu Xuefu, snorted coldly, and said, "Shameless? As long as you can seduce a man, it doesn't matter if he's day or night, it's all a skill. Do you want face, how many times have you slept since you entered the mansion? It always adds up to more than her, who has just entered the house, why is there no one in her stomach! ”

Hua Mei'er's face changed again and again, gray and gray, she bit her lower lip and said, "It's Mei'er who is not angry." ”

"It's good that you know, I thought that with your appearance, I would be able to hook King Chen's heart, and when the ten princes of this palace grow up, you can just envelop him. But I didn't expect that not only did you fail to succeed, but now King Chen has already taken a liking to others, and this good move in this palace will finally be ruined. Concubine Zhen's eyes were like frost, and the chill in her eyes did not dissipate until she turned her gaze to her son.
