Chapter 185: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet
In the past, King Chen and Princess Chen always looked like they were kind and loving together, but today they are as strange as strangers, which can't help but make people guess that the rumors outside that King Chen may divorce his wife are true. It is embarrassing that such a pair of beautiful people Lao Yan are separated, but some people are already thinking about the position of Princess Chen in the future, and some people are beginning to imagine that it is not bad to marry a beauty like Mu Xuefu back as a concubine.
Looking at Mu Xuefu's smile is like being gnawed by thousands of ants in her heart, it hurts her heart. Jing Rong kept pouring wine into his stomach, as if he wanted to get himself drunk. He really wanted to hold Mu Xuefu in his arms and coax him, but he couldn't pass the level in his heart. What an irony it was for him, a man who has always been proud, to love but not to love.
He never takes a woman's affection for him in his eyes, and the heavenly way cycles, and some people don't take his affection in their eyes.
In the palace, the warblers sing and dance, the staggered planning is staggered, the singing and dancing are leveling, and the paper is drunk and golden.
couldn't help but look at the scene, Mu Xuefu could only distract herself, her eyes wandered on everyone's body, although it was just a hurried glance, but it seemed to see all living beings in full view.
The princes wished their father long live and good fortune, but in their hearts they hoped that he would die violently in the next moment.
The concubines' sisters and sisters called each other kindly, and they praised each other, but in fact, they longed for each other's death.
The ministers look like kings and saints, but in private, they have long been friends and traitors, fighting for power and profit.
The power is blind, and the peace is whitewashed.
Mu Yurong specially brought the emperor and grandson to celebrate Emperor Xuanwu's birthday today, and wore a red jacket, which was as festive as it was. Emperor Xuanwu looked at it and liked it, and kept holding it in his arms and teasing. The child participated in such a banquet for the first time, and he was curious and excited, and he had been dancing beside Emperor Xuanwu. Although he couldn't stand on his own, Emperor Xuanwu helped him, and he would dance and beat the beat, which made Emperor Xuanwu laugh for a while.
This is the first grandson of Emperor Xuanwu, and he is cute and childlike, he naturally likes it very much, even if he is caught by the little emperor's grandson, he is not angry, but enjoys it.
Seeing that the little emperor and grandson were so favored by the emperor, everyone couldn't help but calculate in their hearts.
Xu jumped for too long, and the little emperor's energy was finally almost exhausted, and he no longer jumped. Although he sat quietly on Emperor Xuanwu's lap, his head turned left and right, looking at this and that.
The queen did what she liked, pretending to love the little emperor and grandson, clapped her hands lightly at the child, was kind and kind, and said with a smile: "Xi'er is so good, let the imperial grandmother hug her." ”
Emperor Xuanwu touched the child's head, smiled with a charitable face, and waved his hand to let the grandmother beside the queen hug the emperor and grandson.
The little emperor is very well-behaved, and he doesn't cry or make trouble when he is held by strangers, but he doesn't know if the queen's holding posture is uncomfortable, and he keeps twisting his body.
Emperor Xuanwu drank a glass of wine, his eyes swept over carelessly, his brows furrowed slightly, and said: "The queen has never had a child, so she doesn't even have the right posture to hold the child, Xi'er just ate a lot of things, and you hug his stomach like this, he is uncomfortable." ”
Emperor Xuanwu's words were unintentional, but they pierced the queen's heart. She also had a child, but she was stillborn before she could be born.
There was a momentary loss of blood on the queen's face, but she quickly recovered, smiled, and changed the way she held the child, "It's the concubine who ignored it." It was symbolic enough to ask the little emperor, "Is Xi'er comfortable like this?" ”
"Smack", the ten princes beside the queen slapped Jing Xi's head, and said loudly with disgust: "You get up for this prince, you nasty ugly thing." ”
"Wow, wow, wow" The little emperor suddenly burst into tears, one little fat hand touched the place where it was beaten, and the other hand grabbed towards Emperor Xuanwu.
"Jing Hong!" Emperor Xuanwu struck hard with his hand on the Panlong Jewel Chair, glaring angrily at the Ten Princes and shouting at him.
Jing Yu immediately walked up and took the child back from the queen's arms, handed it to Mu Yurong, and let her coax her, "Father and Emperor are angry, the tenth emperor brother must have accidentally touched it, and it won't get in the way." ”
The queen quietly squinted at the ten princes, and hurriedly got up to bless Emperor Xuanwu, "They are all concubines and godsons, please forgive the emperor." ”
Emperor Xuanwu's brows twisted into a river, and he sighed heavily, "It's really a loving mother and a lot of failures, I handed him over to you to raise, just hoping that you can teach him well." But now, it's getting more and more stubborn, and you see what you're used to him all like? ”
The queen's body was shocked, and she held on, "Every time the concubine is with Hong'er, she always thinks of the child with the emperor." The concubines were incompetent and did not give birth to a son-in-law for the emperor, so the concubines cherished it after having Hong'er. And Hong'er was very attached to the concubine because of the premature loss of his mother's concubine, which is why the concubine behad like this because the concubine hugged the little emperor's grandson, but he definitely didn't have the heart, please ask the emperor to be clear. ”
After the queen said this, Emperor Xuanwu's eyes flashed with regret, his breathing was gentle, his face was slightly pale, and he raised his hand to let the queen get up, "Forget it this time, you have to control him more in the future, and there will be no rules in the future." ”
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled the ten princes to salute Emperor Xuanwu, "The concubine knows that she spoils Hong'er too much, and the concubine will teach him more in the future, and there will be no such thing again." ”
The child was so forgetful that after crying for a while, he forgot about the beating he had just been beaten and played with it in his mother's arms.
Mu Xuefu looked sideways at his smart and cute appearance, and smiled lightly. Mu Yurong saw that she had been sitting there alone, thought about it, and took the child to sit beside her.
"What's the matter with you and King Chen?"
Mu Xuefu snorted slightly, hugged the little emperor and grandson to her body, and said concisely: "As you can see." ”
"I have to admire you, the rumors about you and King Chen are flying all over the sky, but you can still handle it calmly." The child didn't know the severity, and pulled down the hairpin on Mu Xuefu's head with one hand, Mu Yurong hurriedly grabbed his hand and brought the hairpin back for Mu Xuefu. When she was hairpining, she deliberately put her lips next to Mu Xuefu's ear, and the voice was so small that only the two of them could hear it, "You are really calm, your own man and other women drink and talk, you can still ignore it, there is no half of the waves." ”
Mu Xuefu followed her hand and helped the hairpin, and said concisely, "As I wish." ”
Mu Yurong was speechless for a while, sighed lightly, hating iron and not steel, "I also obeyed you, when it's good, it's like a person, and when it's bad, no one pays attention to anyone, no matter what you do, love is like that." She glared at Jing Rong fiercely, "It's okay to take a break, there is Zuo Xiangfu as your backer, and I, the princess of Rui, to support you, I want to marry you a lot, and I don't care about him as a king." ”
Mu Yurong has always been gentle, but she has always protected her sister, and she only thinks that her sister is good at everything, even if the two quarrel, the big fault is not her sister. In addition, Jing Rong has never looked at Mu Xuefu since she came, and she has been hugging Ming Wanxin, so she resents him even more, and she only thinks that Jing Rong bullied her sister.
Mu Xuefu looked at her and smiled, and then teased the little emperor in his arms, kissed his face, kissed his hand, and looked at this little guy who could knead people's hearts into water, no matter how much he liked it. He is also a mischievous one, one moment to sit, the next to stand, one moment touching Mucheph's face, the next to ticking the dishes on the table. After hugging him for a while, Mu Xuefu's arms were sour because of tossing him.
He babbled and couldn't speak, but he seemed to be able to understand the whispers of the Mu sisters, and while playing, he looked up at his mother and aunt and listened to what they were saying.
The little guy never recognizes life, and Mu Xuefu always goes to see her, so she is naturally more familiar, so she doesn't even want her own mother with a beautiful aunt, and even Mu Yurong refuses to take him back when she sees him sleepy.
It didn't take long for the little guy to be sleepy, and he fell asleep in Mu Xuefu's arms. He slept very soundly, and the voices in the temple seemed to wake him up.
Seeing that he finally settled down and fell asleep, Mu Yurong carefully took him away from Mu Xuefu's arms, and then gave it to the nurse next to him and took him to the palace of the imperial concubine to sleep peacefully.
The happiest person present tonight was Princess Sanssouci, who was overjoyed to see the relationship between Jingrong and Mu Xuefu break to this point. Of course, it is inevitable to sneer at Mu Xuefu.
"I didn't expect Xiao Shizi to be so clingy to Princess Chen, and I can see that Princess Chen likes children very much, but since she likes it, why don't you give birth to one yourself, so as not to envy other people's families."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Mu Xuefu, only to see her smile slightly, and said leisurely: "Hasn't the princess heard such a sentence?" Someone else's is the best. I like other people's children just like some people like other people's husbands. ”
Princess Sanssouci didn't expect her to say this, her face flushed, and she didn't know how to fight back for a while.
Jing Rong glanced at Mu Xuefu sideways, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he knew that being jealous proved that he still had him in his heart.
Everyone knows that Princess Sanssouci likes King Chen, and when Princess Chen said this, she didn't need to think about it to know that she was sarcastic Princess Sanssoucian. But who dared to laugh at the princess, they all changed the topic one after another to cover up this discordant conversation.
Halfway through the night banquet, Mu Xuefu was really boring, supporting her forehead with her left hand, and messing around with her right hand in the meal. With a casual glance in her eyes, she saw Emperor Xuanwu and Princess Yu looking at each other, although it was just a glance, but there was a faint trace of unusual taste, and she noticed the two of them.
Not long after, Emperor Xuanwu left the palace first, and Princess Yu left immediately. She was in her heart, and without thinking about it, she also followed.
Three people, one after the other, walked in the night like ghosts.
