Chapter 22 Enjoying the Moon in the Moon Tower
The first person Mu Xuefu dealt with when she came back this time was none other than her Yuxuan brother. She knew that her Yuxuan brother had never wanted to be the emperor, and he only wanted to use his blood to protect his family and defend the country. And Emperor Xuanwu, in order to balance his imperial skills, just let Brother Yuxuan fall into this whirlpool of power and profit, so she can only rescue her brother Yuxuan from this whirlpool. She's going to get him out of the Imperial City, and it's best to stay where he likes forever and never come back. And the most important thing is that if one day she can really avenge the Mu family, she doesn't want him to find out that his sister Fu'er is a demon. She hopes that in her Yuxuan brother's heart, she will always be that innocent, kind, innocent and lovely sister.
Jing Rong sandwiched a piece of crab paste into her bowl and looked at her delicate and beautiful. She sat next to her, but she became the focus of the audience, but she still didn't have the shyness of a woman, and she still laughed with him without a match. But behind this smile, he could faintly see a trace of sadness in her eyes. Why is she grieved? And why hide it with this delicate smile?
"Your Majesty, everything has been taken care of on the side of Lanyue Tower, let's go there and drink in the moon." Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, the queen said. Lanyue Tower is the tallest building in the Imperial Palace, and it stands right away from the moon. After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it is also a custom in the palace to go to Lanyue Tower to admire the moon.
The emperor looked at everyone and put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Okay." He looked at the queen again, "It's cold in the middle of the night, and the queen wants to add more clothes." ”
The queen hadn't received the emperor's care for a long time, and she was a little stunned at the moment, she nodded, "Thank you for your concern." He also instructed: "Xu Shou, tie the emperor's cloak to the emperor." ”
The emperor and queen and the ladies of the palace took the lead out of the palace, and the others followed, Mu Yurong walked two steps slowly, and walked side by side with Mu Xuefu, who got up late. Rui Wang and Jing Rong stepped down and followed behind them. The sisters have not seen each other for many days, and they always have to say a few words of their own thoughts, which is naturally inconvenient for them to hear.
"I heard that Xiangye said that you are pregnant, and I haven't congratulated you yet." Although Mu Xuefu is indifferent in her heart, since she came to Zuo Xiangfu, the only people who really treat her are Mu Yurong and Mu Zemao, so she cares a little more about others than others. She looked at Mu Yurong's belly that had not yet bulged with a faint gaze, and reminded: "There are countless people staring at your belly now, you have to be more careful." "If Mu Yurong can give birth to a son, it will be the eldest grandson of the emperor, and one of the things that the royal prince attaches great importance to is the inheritance of the heirs, and the eldest grandson of the emperor will greatly strengthen the weight of King Rui's struggle for the throne.
Although Mu Yurong is a gentle and elegant woman, she is Mu Zhaolin's daughter after all, and she naturally knows everything about the methods of dispute in the court. Besides, she has been married to King Rui for two years, even if she didn't understand anything before she left the cabinet, she is now transparent. Not to mention those people outside who openly and secretly want to get rid of her children, even there are many people in the Rui Wangfu. Besides, she is also a means, and the mother is just for the child, so she naturally will not let the child in her belly make any mistakes. Mu Yurong smiled coldly and said, "If you want to move this in my stomach, it also depends on whether these people have the ability, and I, Princess Rui, are not good at eating." ”
Mu Xuefu faintly drew an arc, with a hint of sarcasm, the royal family will always be so unbearable, in order to fight for power and profit, what can't you do? Not to mention getting rid of a child who has not yet taken shape, it is a hundred or a thousand, or even more, as long as there is a threat to their interests, they will kill without even blinking an eye. Which emperor of all dynasties ascended to the throne and did not rely on the accumulation of blood and bones? Ten years ago, it was just because of his father's great military exploits and love by the people, and he was suspicious of Emperor Xuanwu, which led to the extermination of his family. Where a father has a son, and if a father is unkind and unjust, how good can a son be?
Mu Yurong saw that she was silent, glanced sideways at Jing Rong who was following behind, and whispered in a low voice: "Don't talk about me, how are you?" It seems that he is good to you today, but don't pretend to act in front of your father. Mu Yurong already complained about the fact that Jingrong neither welcomed her nor visited the church on the wedding day, not to mention that she always thought that Mu Xuefu deserved to be cherished by a better man, worthy of a man who was good to her wholeheartedly, to take care of her and cherish her, instead of making her the laughing stock of the whole imperial city.
Although Mu Yurong said it unintentionally, it was in one sentence. Mu Xuefu raised her lips and said, "Not everyone treats you as well as King Rui. After thinking about it, he continued, "But it's not bad. Who to marry is not to marry, and what does it matter? ”
"I know that my father gave you to him because he wanted to win him over to my family, after all, I am sorry for you." Mu Yurong's face swelled with apologies, sighed softly, and snorted slightly, "But Dad's wishful thinking is a mistake." ”
"You didn't feel sorry for me, if I don't want to, who can force me?" Mu Xuefu patted her hand, with a hint of warmth in her eyes, "Raise the baby with peace of mind, don't think about it, marrying King Chen also has the benefits of marrying him, at least it looks eye-catching." ”
Mu Yurong smiled lightly and nodded her forehead affectionately, "That's a good thing, how many people in this world can catch up with the appearance of your prince?" You stand with him like a pair of golden boys and girls under the throne of Guanyin. ”
King Rui looked at his wife, and the warmth in his eyes was like spring water, melting the ice pool in winter. He turned his head sideways to look at the scenery that fell on Princess Chen, and said, "Yuchen is a blessed person, such a beautiful girl has been obtained by you." ”
"The third brother's princess is not bad, I don't know how many men in the city were fascinated back then. Princess Rui is gentle and virtuous, where is it like me to know hypocrisy every day. Jing Rong took a deep look at Mu Xuefu's side face and said.
King Rui followed his gaze and smiled knowingly, "Where is the gentleness and virtuousness?" This woman, the most good at face to face and behind the back, is gentle and tender on the surface, but in fact, she went home and closed the door and didn't know what to do. ”
"King Rui's favorite wife is talked about by the people in the city, it seems that even if he can do it again, the third brother will enjoy it."
Rui Wang Langlang smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "The fun of husband and wife, the joy of the boudoir, only a man like you and I who has become a family knows the wonderfulness of it." ”
Jing Rong smiled, but sighed slightly in his heart, where did this Rui Wang know his heart? Couples? Boudoir pleasures? What was that, he hadn't tried it yet.
Princess Sanssouci walked a few steps and then looked back at the scene, and took a few steps to take a look. Watching him and King Rui laugh as they walked, I couldn't wait to run over at this moment. But Concubine Wen kept holding on to her, and warned her many times not to be presumptuous, but she still couldn't help but look at the man she liked. Ai's eyes faintly shifted to Mu Xuefu, who was walking in front of him, and her eyes were like thorns.
Everyone went up to Lanyue Tower, and the pavilion was full of eight immortal tables, with fruits, moon cakes, wine and refreshments on the table. Except for the separate throne of the emperor and queen, everyone sat around the table of the eight immortals. Mu Xuefu and their table are their husband and wife, Rui Wang and his wife, Huai Wang and his wife, as well as Rong Wang and Ning Wang.
Mu Xuefu didn't pay attention to King Huai and King Ning when she was in the Changxin Hall just now, and she just took a closer look at them at this moment.
King Huai has a pair of delicate and slender eyes, with a dignified appearance, but it gives people a sharp and gloomy feeling, exuding a ruthless aura from his eyes. It seems that if he is targeted, it is like being targeted by a fierce beast, and if he is not careful, he will be dismantled and devoured.
And King Ning gives people a completely different feeling, in summary, King Rui is as gentle as jade, King Rong is cold and cold, and King Huai is ruthless, so King Ning is too ordinary compared to them, in addition to being quite delicate, it seems that it can only be described by the word gentle and silent. But the more honest people are, the more they can sometimes give a fatal blow at the most critical time. And King Ning is precisely this kind of person, but he hides it deeply, and everyone is blinded by his gentle temperament. But Mu Xuefu discovered his secret in the Underworld Pavilion, and actually found a killer to kill his wife, just so that he could marry the daughter of the military department Shangshu in the future. Even the person next to the pillow is so ruthless, you know how ruthless this person is.
Mu Xuefu's eyes fell on Princess Huai beside King Huai again, a purple dark embroidered gold bead Rui Begonia Shu brocade, like black silk combed into a double bun, in the middle of the bun is a gold ruby peony distraction, the bun is a green luan gold step shake, the white jade earrings on the ears shine in the light of the moonlit night. This dress is very attentive, and it also sets off her graceful and luxurious.
Princess Huai is the eldest daughter of Zhang Zhaochi, a typical noble girl in the city, and the first talented woman in the city before she got married, and she is as famous as Mu Yurong. Although her appearance is a little worse than Mu Yurong, she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. But also because of his talent, arrogant temperament, and self-esteem, he often looks down on people, especially these women with outstanding appearances. In her opinion, women like Mu Yurong and Mu Xuefu are just self-contained and beautiful, and when they grow older and have no freshness, men still don't like the new and hate the old.
"Who are your little eyes always drifting to see? Doesn't this king have the charm to attract the attention of his concubine? Mu Xuefu was thinking about it in her heart, and she felt a chill in her ears, and then she heard a faint voice in her ears.
Mu Xuefu was violently excited, turned her head and raised her chin to look at Jingrong who had already held her in her arms. I thought to myself, when did this guy get so close to her? But for the sake of his own husband and so many people present, he will not waste his arm. Mu Xuefu directly put her head on his shoulder and said softly: "The prince is beautiful, and even the concubine is not as good as himself, how can he not be charming?" The prince is too charming, so many people present will look at you. ”
Although the first sentence is a bit false, the latter words are true, and the ladies here, except for the emperor's concubines and royal women, are not looking directly at this table. On this table, it can be regarded as a beautiful man who condenses Great Qin, even the slightly inferior King Ning is also an outstanding character.
Jing Rong raised the hand on her shoulder and pinched her ear, "This king only needs the gaze of the concubine." ”
