92 There is only admiration for the prince, no delusion.
The emperor and the queen were childhood sweethearts, and they had a deep relationship when they were young. At that time, the late emperor valued the dignity of the Su family's daughter and gave it to the prince. At that time, the prince and the imperial concubine were very enviable. Even after the prince ascended the throne, the two were like confidants, so that the queen's position has always been firmly seated.
"Only the matter of the prince can make you come here in person. Are you worried about the prince's selection of concubines?" The emperor saw the queen's thoughts at a glance, which was also the result of mutual understanding over the years.
The queen helped the emperor sit down and nodded, "No, I have been thinking about it for a few days, but there has been no suitable candidate. I have to come and ask the emperor, but is there a suitable candidate in my heart?
The emperor pondered for a moment, thought about it carefully, and also said, "On the day of selecting the draft girl, I intended to let the prince choose a crown princess, the young lady of the Li family, and the young lady of the Du family. I was quite satisfied, but the prince refused on the same day, and I was not easy to force her. Now, I can't think of a suitable prince concubine for a while.
As the emperor looked at Mu Xi, "Miss Mu's family is... also appropriate. Xian, what do you think?
Mu Xi, who stood beside the queen, was shocked and hurried over and knelt down. "Your Majesty, the minister is beside the queen, and there is only respect for the prince, and there is no delusion. Please spare Xi Ran..."
The queen covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at you scared Xi Run. Xiran was treated as a daughter by her concubine, and she also promised King Jing'an that she would never marry into the royal family and give her a corner of peace. Emperor, don't embarrass your concubine."
"Since I have put it forward, of course I have seriously thought about it, but since you don't want to. Then I can't force it, so that I won't have you complain in the future." The emperor's half-squinted eyes suddenly opened and waved her up.
Mu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind the queen obediently.
"Let me think about this matter again. There is always a suitable choice for the crown princess." The emperor is in a very good mood today. Seeing the wrinkles at the corners of the queen's eyes, the emperor sighed deeply, "The prince is my favorite emperor, and I will definitely choose a good wife for him. Don't worry, take good care of yourself, and I still want to have a grandson with you.
The queen frowned, "What the emperor said is that the minister and concubine will not worry about it."
Mu Xi ran out of the Qianqing Palace with the queen and saw Concubine Wan coming face to face, and behind her was still a maid of honor with soup. Concubine Wan bowed to the queen Yingying, "My concubine sends greetings to the empress."
"Free of courtesy." The queen glanced at the soup and said, "I saw that the emperor's body has been much better these days. It's three poisons. Don't send these soups for the time being."
Wanfei responded with a natural smile, "Yes, my concubine wrote it down."
"Okay, you go." The queen waved her hand gently, didn't look at Wanfei, and continued to move forward.
After going far, the queen motioned to put her hand on Mu Xilan's hand. "Xilan, I know that you have never had a good relationship with Wanfei, but when you are in the palace, it is inevitable to meet. You still need to be a little more euphemistic, don't be too hard."
"XiRan just doesn't want to be used by these thin family affections." Mu Xiyan still said so frankly.
The queen patted her hand, "I know the pain in your heart. But the sharp embroidery needle in the palace won't last long. If you want to stay for a long time, you can polish yourself and deal with anyone who has two minds on you. Otherwise, the pain in the future will be even more painful than the embroidery needles.
The Queen's words made Mu Xiran suddenly remember that what the girl Xiuyue said in Yifu had the same meaning. It seemed that she was still too eager and smiled, "Xiran... I know."
"You are still young and there are many places to hone."
That night, the queen went to the Buddhist hall early after dinner. Because today was the birthday of Princess Zhaohua, Mu Xian heard Xichun say that the Empress would recite scriptures in the Buddhist hall for a whole night on the night of Princess Zhaohua's memorial day.
This year, in addition to the Empress, of course, Mu Xian also has to accompany her, but not to please the Empress, but volunteered to recite scriptures for Princess Zhaohua. It was not until dawn that the two came out of the Buddhist hall.
"XiRan, I was tired all day last night. Have a good rest today." The queen looked sadly at the shadow under Mu Xi's eyes. Seeing that she was about to speak, the queen quickly continued, "I have ordered Xichun to see no one in Kunning Palace today."
Mu Xilan understood the queen's love and quickly responded, "Thank you for your kindness."
Back to his room, Nianhua was ready for hot water. Mu Xian smiled tiredly, "You still know me." After taking off her coat, she walked around to the other side of the screen, "I really don't know how the Queen has survived at this age."
Nianhua helped her take off the rest of her clothes and whispered, "The empress is not like this for the princess."
Mu Xi'an walked into the wooden barrel and buried his body completely in warm water. "Yes, how can I complain?" Leaning against the barrel, she closed her eyes and said, "Mianhua, you let me be alone."
After bathing, Mu Xian lay down and went to sleep. I don't know how long she slept. She only felt that there was always someone talking in her ear, but she couldn't hear what she was talking about. She turned over annoyance.
"Miss, miss..." Nianhua's voice sounded in his ear at this time.
Mu Xian opened her eyes in a daze and saw that only Nianhua stood in front of the bed, "What time is it?"
"It's already evening, but Xichun just came over and said that the Empress specially told you not to go to serve tonight." After Nianhua finished speaking, he looked at Mu Xilan hesitantly, and still said, "There is someone from Jingren Palace."
Mu Xiren didn't react for a moment. After thinking about Jingren Palace, she thought that it was Concubine Wan, "What's the matter? What's wrong with me?"
"Well, Nan Meng, the maid of honor, just came over and said that Wanfei had something to find a young lady, and specifically said that it was about Chu Yin." Nianhua looked at Mu Xilan's sleepy face, "Miss, do you know the Miss of the Chu family well?"
"Dress me, I have to go to Jingren Palace." In ten days, Chu Yinruo will marry the sixth prince. Although the sixth prince is not Chu Yinruo's heart, this also involves Chu Yinruo's lifelong happiness, and she must go.
After Mu Xian quickly cleaned up, he hurried to Jingren Palace.
When I arrived at the Jingren Palace, candles were lit everywhere in the palace, especially the Jingren Palace was as bright as day. When I looked carefully at the four corners of the palace, I found several round night pearls there.
When Wanfei saw Mu Xijian coming in, she enthusiastically waved her to let her sit over. "The second sister must have not eaten yet, and my sister doesn't know what the second sister likes to eat, so she asked the imperial dining room to make some characteristics of Xiangcheng. Second sister, come and try it."
