039, wife and concubine
Lu Xinmei showed a hint of a smile, seeing that her daughter's complexion was still the same, but she had lost a little weight, she was also relieved, she took Mu Wanqing's hand and said softly: "Seeing you come back, my mother is much more relieved." ”
"The doctors all said that Madame's heart knot was uncomfortable, so the condition has not improved, and now that the young lady is back, Madame's illness will get better soon." The butler also said happily on the side.
Mu Wanqing bowed her head slightly, but she was silent, she had already guessed in her heart why Lu Xin's eyebrows were uncomfortable, it must be because she was defiled, and it was also because of her mother, it was really sad that her daughter was so bad. Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing's nose was a little sour, and she almost fell into tears.
"Your father is angry in his heart and let you suffer in the palace, but now that he is back, in the prime minister's mansion, my mother will never let you be wronged." Lu Xinmei said a few words, then coughed, because of the cough, her cheeks also became flushed, Mu Wanqing hurriedly stroked her back, and Zhining also poured a cup of tea.
Lu Xinmei drank a few sips of tea before straightening out his anger, and said, "Fu Bo, you go and change the pot of hot tea and come in." ”
The housekeeper Fu Bo went out with the teapot, and then Lu Xinmei asked Zhi Ning to close the door, and then said to Mu Wanqing: "Qing'er, you were stubborn before, and you refused to listen to your mother's advice, if you were willing to help the queen at that time, you wouldn't have to marry King Zhuang, and that wouldn't have happened." It's still too late, as long as you are willing to serve the queen now, she will save you. Although your father is a prime minister, there are many things that you can't interfere with, and you have to plan for yourself. ”
Mu Wanqing was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Lu Xinmei had already persuaded herself to join the queen, but the queen's heart was extremely vicious, and she didn't want to see her, if she took refuge with the queen, I am afraid that she would not even know how to die in the future. She smiled and said, "Mother, let's talk about this later, you take care of your body first." ”
"Qing'er, do you understand that my mother has been up and down for many years, and I don't want you to be unhappy......" Lu Xinmei felt sad again when she thought of her past, "I originally thought that you were married to King Zhuang and were also a concubine, but who knew that you would become a concubine when something happened, and then your future children will only be concubines and have no status." I just understand this truth, so I will try my best to climb up, you see, now my mother is already a wife, and Xu'er and you are both from the same family, don't be coldly looked at, why don't you understand your mother's hard work. ”
Every woman must learn to fight, this is not a law of survival that has existed since ancient times. But she won't be pregnant with Huo Chen's child, and Huo Chen won't let her conceive a child, isn't the contraceptive pill the best proof that night? She smiled bitterly, then she was also relieved, and said: "Qing'er will remember it in her heart, my mother will rest first, and then I will come to visit my mother later." ”
Lu Xinmei knew that Mu Wanqing's temperament was still like this, although she was coquettish, she didn't do anything harmful, which was why the Queen Mother loved her. Lu Xinmei sighed, finally stopped talking, and lay down to rest.
Lu Xinmei had been sick for a long time, and after talking for a while, she was extremely tired, but she also fell asleep after a while, and Mu Wanqing left with peace of mind.
Mu Wanqing didn't know the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Zhi Ning led the way: "Miss, the master must have asked someone to clean your room." ”
"How do you know, if you don't?" Mu Wanqing smiled, feeling that Zhi Ning was excited when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhi Ning smiled mischievously, took Mu Wanqing to turn a corner, then pushed open a carved wooden door, stretched out her head to look inside, and then laughed proudly twice: "I said that the room would be clean, Miss just doesn't believe Zhi Ning." ”
Mu Wanqing walked in and found that this was indeed a woman's boudoir, the bedding was pink, and even the hook of the tent hanging from the head of the bed was made of red gold. Look at the diamond flower bronze mirror again, it is really exquisite, and the dresser is already full of rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry. Everything was so well prepared, as if it was just to greet her, her throat tightened, as if she couldn't breathe.
"I didn't expect it to be completely unchanged." Zhi Ning opened the window excitedly and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, "It seems that the master still attaches great importance to Miss and regards Miss as a treasure." ”
Mu Wanqing was already moved in her heart, sat down slowly, and looked at herself in the rhombic bronze mirror, it was her luck to have this beautiful face and this slender body. Not because of her alluring color, but thanks to her for crossing into this body, allowing her to feel the warmth of her relatives, who are the ones who will never abandon her, thank God for his care for her.
"Really?" Mu Wanqing picked up a peach blossom hairpin and looked at it, and the mood at this time was good-looking.
"Of course." Zhi Ning suddenly patted her forehead, "Why did you forget to make tea for Miss, Miss, wait, Zhi Ning will be back soon." ”
Seeing Zhi Ning running out happily, Mu Wanqing felt that everything was good when she came back, at least Zhi Ning didn't have to be afraid. She put down the peach blossom hairpin, and the servants had already sent their soft hairpins, so she tidied up all the things, opened the cabinet and wanted to put the clothes in, but found that it was already full of clothes, all colors, and the materials were of high quality.
She touched the clothes and finally couldn't hold back the tears, she looked up, trying not to let the tears remain.
At this time, Zi Ning had already returned, happily holding a pot of tea, and said, "Miss, Zhi Ning specially brewed your favorite Pu'er, and you like the fragrance the most." ”
Even though Mu Wanqing didn't like Pu'er very much, she drank it.
"Miss, why are your eyes red?" Zhi Ning looked at Mu Wanqing's eyes and asked suspiciously.
Mu Wanqing rubbed her eyes and said with a smile: "The sand is in your eyes, how can you be so nervous." ”
Zhi Ning immediately laughed again and patted her chest: "Hehe, Zhi Ning is just afraid that Miss will cry." ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned again, it seems that Zhining's heart has already developed this habit, afraid that she will be bullied, the first thing that comes to mind is whether she is unhappy, she sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't want to say anything about it anymore, so she asked casually: "I heard what my mother said about the wife just now, isn't it the main room that my mother married in?" ”
"Miss, you really don't remember anything." Zhi Ning frowned, looking dissatisfied.
"Just tell me, people are curious." Mu Wanqing was suddenly interested, she didn't know enough about the Prime Minister's Mansion, she wanted to integrate into this family, she had to figure everything out.
"In fact, Mrs. was originally the Oiran of the Qinglou, and after she had the master's child, she was taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. was still a concubine, and the main room was Mrs. Ling Chang, but Mrs. Ling Chang's stomach has not been angry, plus the Ling family has declined in the court, after Mrs. Ling Chang asked for a man, Mrs. Ling Chang was demoted to a concubine by the master, and Mrs. became a wife." Zhining explained in detail that in fact, this was more than 20 years ago, and she just listened to what others said.
