158 How can her self-esteem be ruined
When the maids of honor in the inner hall retreated, the emperor said from the bottom of his heart, "At the beginning, I only thought that I would spoil Yi'an all the time, which was the best spoil for her. But now that I think about it, I feel that I have died in vain!"
The queen took the emperor's hand trembling with excitement and said, "What are you talking about? When the matter comes to light, it's not too late to blame yourself. Now, what's the use of your blame?
The emperor turned his head and looked at the queen's face that was three-point similar to Yi'an. "Today, I recalled everything about Yi'an, and even felt that Yi'an was by my side several times and called my father. Her small body always rubbed in my arms with her eyes narrowed, and tore the memorials given to me by those ministers, so that I I can't laugh or cry..."
"I still always blame me. Why can't my father spend more time with my mother and brother? At that time, I could only touch her head and tell her that my father had not only a small family, but also a 'everyone'. Yi'an clenched his fist and said, "Father, when I grow up, I will share these state affairs for my father. Let your father spend more time with your mother."
"Your Majesty..." The queen couldn't help it anymore and choked.
The emperor smiled gently, "If I had been more cruel last year, now Yi'an would definitely lie on my lap and tell her her wish. However, everything is late... late."
Mu Xiran, who stood aside, finally couldn't help covering his mouth, pulled out his legs and ran out. He hurried from under the stone steps to the corner of no one, squatted down and cried bitterly.
After crying for a long time, Mu Xi ran away her tears, but saw that she was not alone in the shadow.
"I've never seen a girl cry in the corner." The man's voice was smooth and slightly joking.
Mu Xiran suddenly turned around and saw that the man in the shadow was the second prince Jun Anran, "Why are you here?"
Jun Anran pulled the corners of his lips and said, "If you have stayed in the barracks enough, you will naturally come back. I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I came back was you. Her eyes fell hotly in her sad eyes, "Is your father seriously ill?"
"No." Mu Xian subconsciously blurted out. After saying that, she found that she was a little embarrassed and tilted her head. "Because of the matter of Princess Zhaohua, she fell ill for a while."
"It seems that you care about the royal sister?" Jun Anran is as curious as others about Mu Xiran's care and concern for Jun Yi'an from beginning to end. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have hidden here and cried bitterly."
Mu Xiran sorted out the long hair that fell on her ears and smiled, "Jun Yi'an is like the soul living in my body. I can feel her pain, struggle and regret."
After hearing the words, Jun Anran half raised his head and looked at the sky. His voice was far away without lack of clearness. "Her royal sister used to be too brilliant, and even God was jealous, so she pulled her into hell so cruelly."
This answer was the first time Mu Xiyan heard it, so that she was a little stunned.
"Miss Mu, aren't you satisfied with my answer?" Jun Anran stretched out his hand and pinched Mu Xiran's face.
Mu Xiyan hurriedly stepped back a few steps and said to the second prince, "Please take care of yourself. For what the second prince said, Xi Ran just comforted Princess Zhaohua, and there was another person in the palace who didn't hate her. After saying that, regardless of the expression that the second prince wanted to retain, he went up the stone steps step by step, and his figure disappeared on the last stone steps.
"Master... Master, the noble concubine said that the emperor had decreed that no one was allowed to enter the Qianqing Palace except the Empress. Master, you'd better go back quickly. The noble concubine hasn't seen her master for months. As the father-in-law bowed his head and bowed.
Jun Anran just answered faintly, "Hmm, go back."
When Mu Xirankan returned to Qianqing Palace and came in again, the emperor had fallen asleep, and the queen was still by the bed without saying a word.
"Female officer, the queen told the female official to go back to rest early. The Empress will not go back tonight." Xichun came out softly and said to Mu Xi'an.
Mu Xilan took another look at the tired corners of the queen's eyes and told her, "Then take good care of the queen and don't let her catch a cold." Clap Xichun on the shoulder, "Don't be too tired of yourself."
"Ye, the maidservants know, ladies, go quickly."
Mu Xi, who returned to Kunning Palace, had no sleep all night.
The next day, Mu Xiran went to the Qianqing Palace early in the morning. Compared with last night, the emperor's progress was still much better. At this time, the emperor was asking the second prince Jun Anran about something in the barracks.
The queen personally covered the dishes beside her, and Mu Xiyan walked in alone, "Mother, let the maidservant come."
The queen stayed all night, and the tiredness between her eyebrows was obviously strong, so she followed Mu Xiran's intention, turned to sit by the bed and followed the emperor's words and said, "I haven't been safe for two months. I've really lost a lot of weight."
The second prince nodded slightly, "I'm worried about my mother."
The emperor thought that when Mu Xiran came in just now, the second prince took a look and asked with a smile, "Anran, you are going to marry a concubine. You are not young, a woman who wants to be careful recently. As long as the family is innocent, the father will not object.
"Children...Children." Jun Anran glanced at the slender figure beside him with his spare light, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I haven't taken a heart for the time being. Please also ask your father to choose a suitable imperial concubine for your son.
The second prince rarely showed hesitation in front of the emperor. Today's expression made everyone present more and more aware of it.
"Ye, it depends on what your mother's intention." The emperor thought about it, and for the time being, there was no suitable lady in his heart, so he stopped talking about it. " By the way, your brother heard that you came back this morning and wanted to hold a family banquet to wash the dust for you. This banquet... will be tomorrow night."
Speaking of the family banquet, the emperor remembered the appearance of Princess Zhaohua again, and his face became heavy again.
"Yes, Father." The second prince responded happily and was ready to say goodbye, "Father, if nothing happens, I will retire there."
The emperor pulled his eyelids and said, "Um, go back and spend more time with your mother."
After the second prince left, Mu Xiruan came over with the meal, "It's time for the emperor to have breakfast."
The emperor took the porcelain bowl, took a sip of it, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, frowned slightly, and then stared at the queen, "I know that I like almonds, and I deliberately let the imperial dining room so little." That's what he said, but he still drank slowly.
"The royal doctor said that you can't eat more almonds." The queen restrained her eyes and helped the emperor tidy up the bedding covering her lower body.
The emperor smiled kindly, "If Yi'an is here, he will secretly put a few more almonds in my bowl."
"Your Majesty, I don't believe what the Su family said about Yi'an." When the queen saw that the emperor mentioned it, she did not cover it up and took the opportunity to raise it up. Yesterday, she almost fainted when she heard about the court.
"Of course I don't believe it. I know most about Yi'an's character, but how can her self-esteem be ruined? Su Fu took out such news and obviously wanted to pinch the royal face, but the Su family didn't think about it. Because of Yi'an's matter, I never cared about his face!" The emperor put half of the porridge in his hand on the table.
"However, I heard from Yi Xiao that this matter has been almost investigated. I'm going to say it at tomorrow's family banquet.
What did the queen suddenly understand? "Is the emperor's intention to hold a family banquet tomorrow?"
"Yi Xiao said that it was done by the people in the palace, so I wanted to take advantage of the people in the palace to get out of this matter. Let's see which concubine in the harem has the courage to kill the princess. I will never forgive her. The emperor put down his fierce words, turned his head and saw the queen's sad expression, so he gently patted her hand and said to Mu XiRAN,
"Xilan, take these maids to retreat. The queen didn't rest all night, and I accompanied her.
The serious expression immediately changed to tenderness, and the emperor's deep friendship with the queen for so many years did not diminish at all.
Mu Xian bowed his knees and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he took the maids out of the Qianqing Palace and ordered Duke Cheng in front of the door, "The emperor did not order anyone not to enter. Please don't let others disturb the emperor's purity.
Dunuch Cheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, female official."
Mu Xilan came out of the Qianqing Palace and did not return to Kunning Palace, but walked aimlessly in the palace. Entering the imperial garden, near the Purple Pavilion, she faintly heard someone humming softly. She stopped and looked at the sound. Looking up, she saw a woman half leaning on the second floor of the Purple Pavilion.
Listening to this sound, it is clear that there is a sound of Shi Daiwen that has not been seen for more than half a year.
So, Mu Xiyan walked into the purple pavilion with her skirt and went up to the second floor. Sure enough, it was Shi Daiwen.
The two maids guarding the stairs were obviously stunned when they saw Mu Xi'an, and then saluted one after another, "Mouguan."
Shi Daiwen also suddenly stopped singing, turned his head, and squeezed out three smiles from the corners of his mouth, "Let you laugh."
Mu Xian shook his head and couldn't help praising, "No, you sing very well, but there are fewer listeners." Yingying came over and sat next to Shi Daiwen, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you these days?"
Six months ago, Shi Daiwen's two thick eyebrows were slightly heroic, but now in order to cater to the favorite eyebrows of the imperial concubines, she has also abruptly trimmed into curved willow eyebrows, and the slightly thick pink lips look a little unnatural.
I saw her eyes flow, and finally turned into a little resentful eyes, "Mu Xiren, are you laughing at me?" As a popular maid around the queen, how could Mu Xian not know the situation of a concubine in the harem?
Mu Xian breathed when he heard the words and raised his eyebrows, "How can I laugh at you? Why did you say that?"
I vaguely remember the picture of them living together after entering the palace, like a pair of good sisters talking to each other and fighting with each other...
