Chapter 9: Let Them Go Together
Kunning Palace.
After the queen mother finished breakfast, the old lady next to her waited for her to rinse her mouth and clean her hands, reminding.
"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the War King will bring the princess over today to thank you, and estimate the time, and now it should be about to come from the emperor's side. ”
"Then bring up everything that should be prepared, and the mourners will be rewarded. ”
At this time, Mu Zhixi and Xiao Yiyan had just thanked the emperor and were walking towards the Kunning Palace.
Considering that she was unable to walk on her feet, Xiao Yiyan deliberately slowed down her pace along the way.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, after the eunuch reported it, the two were able to enter the palace.
The threshold of Kunning Hall was very high, and Mu Zhixi almost didn't step over.
At this moment, a hand reached out.
"Walk well, don't fall again. Xiao Yiyan glanced at her lightly.
"Queen Mother, you see, the king of war and the princess are so affectionate. The old lady deliberately said this in front of the Queen Mother, just to make the Queen Mother happy.
Yesterday's wedding, Mu Zhixi's performance at the wedding, soon caused a storm in the city, and there were also a lot of rumors in the palace, and now seeing that the two get along well, the Queen Mother is also a lot relieved.
Mu Zhixi broke her foot before, and now she still has a faint pain when she walks, but on the surface she hides it well, so that people can't see any problems.
Seeing the Queen Mother, she performed a very standard palace ceremony, "Concubine to the Queen Mother." ”
"Let's all be flat. The Queen Mother is also kind, thinking that as long as Mu Zhixi is a war princess in peace, she will have nothing to find fault with.
After all, this daughter-in-law was chosen by Ah Yan herself.
"War Princess, there is one thing you can be mistaken, the mourning family has to point it out. ”
Mu Zhixi looked confused, did she make a mistake? Obviously, all her etiquette numbers are right?
Seeing Mu Zhixi's ignorant appearance, Xiao Yiyan reminded in a low voice on the side.
"Now that you are the princess of war, you should call the 'imperial grandmother' according to this king. ”
Mu Zhixi suddenly realized, "It's the concubine's mistake, and I ask the imperial grandmother to remember the first offense, don't worry about the concubine." ”
She was so careless. I would be confused about the title.
But this can't be completely blamed on her, after all, the royal people in the previous life looked at her very unpleasantly, and the queen mother especially didn't like her very much, so she didn't care if she called her "imperial grandmother" at all.
The Queen Mother was very accommodating, nodded very gratifyingly, and then instructed Mama: "Bring up the jewelry that the mourning family wants to reward the new princess." ”
After rewarding Mu Zhixi with a complete set of jewelry, she smiled kindly and teased.
"Mu girl, the mourning family still remembers that you said last night that you would open up branches for the royal family, and the mourning family is waiting for the good news of the two of you. ”
Hearing this, Mu Zhixi looked shy, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Yiyan.
In order to admit her mistake last night, she did say it more directly and explicitly, if this kind of thing had been placed before, it would have been impossible for her reserved and timid nature to say it in public.
But Xiao Yiyan looked even more awkward than her.
On his cold face, the expression was strange, as if there was a stream of words that he wanted to say and stopped.
It's weird, doesn't he want to have a baby with her?
Mu Zhixi was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and deliberately took Xiao Yiyan's arm in front of the Queen Mother, and replied with a sweet smile.
"Imperial grandmother, just wait, I promise to let you hold the old man for three years. ”
As she said this, she held out her finger and gestured.
"Ahem......" Xiao Yiyan suddenly seemed to be choked, coughing dryly to hide his strangeness at this time.
He casually glanced at Mu Zhixi, who was talking but had no brain, and frowned slightly.
After three years of hugging the two, she is quite ambitious.
The Queen Mother is accustomed to seeing the noble and dull appearance of the young lady of the family, and today she saw Mu Zhixi so lively and smart, and was amused by her appearance.
"Whether the mourning family can hold their great-grandson depends on you. ”
"Uh-huh!" Mu Zhixi swore an oath, as if she was bound to have a child.
Then she also looked at Xiao Yiyan with tenderness in her eyes, "My husband and I will work hard." ”
Xiao Yiyan's hands were slightly clenched, her thin lips were pursed into a line, and her eyes were full of indifference.
He was almost deceived by her troubled appearance.
In order to act in front of the Queen Mother, is she out of the way?
After thanking him, after leaving Kunning Palace, the little eunuch who followed behind Mu Zhixi held a large box of rewards.
She took Xiao Yiyan's arm again with a satisfied face, and her delicate face was dyed with a burst of pleasure.
"Husband, we have gained a lot from entering the palace this time, I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so generous, I have seen that set of jewelry before, it is the envoy of Chu State......"
"Brother Five Emperors!"
Before Mu Zhixi's words were finished, the nine princesses who came towards her suddenly called.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Qingya, who was wearing a princess dress, glanced at Mu Zhixi with disdain, and made a slight salute to Xiao Yiyan.
"Fifth Emperor Brother, if I had known that you would come to the Imperial Grandmother, Ya'er wouldn't have waited for you in the Imperial Garden for so long. ”
The Imperial Garden is a necessary place to enter and exit the palace, although Xiao Qingya was named a princess early, but she is not old enough to be able to go out of the palace to build a princess's mansion, so if you want to see Xiao Yiyan on weekdays, you are basically waiting in the Imperial Garden.
Xiao Qingya, the ninth princess, is deeply favored by the emperor, has a straightforward and lively personality, and is also one of the few brothers and sisters who can get together with Xiao Yiyan.
She admired this brave and warlike Fifth Emperor Brother very much, and she used to pester Xiao Yiyan a lot.
Therefore, she correspondingly didn't treat Mu Zhixi, the Fifth Emperor sister-in-law who repeatedly embarrassed the Five Emperor Brothers and broke his heart.
Especially at yesterday's wedding, she took off her hijab and made it clear that she would die, Xiao Qingya's disgust for her became deeper and deeper, thinking that she was not worthy of her fifth emperor brother.
Mu Zhixi could see Xiao Qingya's hostility and dissatisfaction with her, but she still took the initiative to step forward and salute.
"Princess ......"
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Qingya deliberately ignored her existence and coquettishly behaved unscrupulously to Xiao Yiyan.
"Fifth Emperor Brother, the military book you gave me before is really obscure, and even the Taifu doesn't understand it in some places, so you still have to teach me. ”
Xiao Yiyan is not as disgusted with Xiao Qingya, a half-sister, as he is with other brothers and sisters, but he is not very close.
The letter of recommendation to her was purely because she didn't want her to continue to pester herself.
But now, her deliberate indifference to Mu Zhixi made him have some opinions.
Especially when I saw Mu Zhixi, she looked a little at a loss.
"Qingya, I've seen your Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law. He spoke in a calm voice, almost commandingly.
Xiao Qingya is spoiled, she has a straightforward temperament, and she has one thing to say.
Seeing that the Fifth Emperor Brother was still defending Mu Zhixi, she only felt a wave of anger rushing to her head.
"I don't admit that she is my Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law! Fifth Emperor Brother, this woman doesn't love you at all, have you forgotten what she did at the big wedding yesterday? Now she still has the face to enter the palace to thank her, a crazy woman who has made the royal family lose face, what kind of son is Xie!"
Immediately, she turned to look at Mu Zhixi and said directly to her in a loud voice.
"Mu Zhixi, you are not worthy of the Fifth Emperor Brother, if you really hit your head last night, you will fall to ......"
"Shut up!" Xiao Yiyan scolded angrily, interrupting Xiao Qingya's somewhat excessive words.
"Fifth Emperor Brother, you actually murdered me for this shameless woman, it is this woman, not long ago she was pulling and pulling in the pavilion with the Fourth Emperor Brothers, and I saw it with my own eyes. Mu Zhixi, you are married to my Fifth Emperor Brother, and you are going to hook up with other men, you have to make it clear to Princess Ben today!"
In her previous life, Xiao Qingya, who was dedicated to maintaining Xiao Yiyan, was also so disgusted with her, so Mu Zhixi was not sad at all, but admired Xiao Qingya's character of daring to love and hate.
Mu Zhixi smiled lightly, and calmly and calmly spoke to Xiao Qingya unhurriedly.
"Ninth princess, now that I have become a relative to the prince, I will be the same in life and the same in death. I know that no matter how much I explain now, you may not believe me, so I ask you to give me time to prove it, and I will wait until the day when you are willing to call me 'Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law' from the bottom of your heart." ”
Not only Xiao Qingya, but even Xiao Yiyan is the same.
She will let him know that she Mu Zhixi really corrects her mistakes and really wants to be with him for the rest of her life.
Xiao Qingya narrowed her eyes and warned: "Mu Zhixi, this is what you said, if this princess finds out that you are having an affair with another man, this princess will definitely not spare you!"
Wait, she will definitely find evidence that Mu Zhixi and Xiao Chengze hooked up together, and when the time comes, she will definitely let the Fifth Emperor Brother divorce this woman......
