Pampered Into Being The Empress
Chapter 52: Hypocritical
The last time Rong Xi did it with Mu Huai Xiaodi, although it is very useful to men, Rong Xi also knows the truth.
Nothing can be done too much.
It is fine to adjust the taste occasionally, but if you are always so arrogant, men will feel bored.
Rong Xi quickly recovered his usual delicate body, and tried his best to serve Mu Huai's diet and daily life comfortably.
Since she returned to the palace, because Mu Huai was too used to spoil her, sometimes she would forget that Mu Huai was originally a very cruel person.
This morning, Mu Huai, as usual, accompanied her to eat breakfast in the side hall.
Rong Xi was originally drinking sweet and greasy red bean porridge without a second thought, but vaguely heard that a woman's cry was heard outside the hall.
The crying sounded a little bitter, and it was even crippled.
Rong Xi was about to send Danxiang to inquire about the situation, but Mu Huai stopped her.
He held the porridge bowl with his slender hands, and fed her the porridge himself, while faintly said: "Don't worry, I have dealt with a court lady. Don't go out for a while, wait for the court lady to lift her out, and then leave the hall. ."
Rong Xi felt a little panic, as the woman's crying lower and lower, her lips trembled because of the shock.
She guessed in her heart why Mu Huai had dealt with the palace lady. Mu Huai sensed her thoughts and said in a low voice: "That cheap maid was actually bribed by someone to deliver the news from the East Palace. How could the lone continue to do this? People keep it?"
After hearing this, Rong Xi nodded his head in response to Mu Huai.
She has nothing to say about it.
Rong Xi guessed that when Mu Huai was the prince, it was probably because of this reason that the maids were dealt with by him.
The court lady named Biwu was punished with sixty boards by Mu Huai. The attendant did not dare to be half-hearted, and hit the boards heavily. In the midsummer, the court lady's back rotted within a short time.
The little palace lady was not very young, and her body was thin, and she was out of breath when she hit the board for more than 50 strokes.
However, the attendant knew Mu Huai's fierce style, even if he knew that the maid was out of breath, he still slapped the remaining boards.
Mu Huai walked out of the palace with his hand at this moment. He glanced at the corpse of the palace lady blankly, and then said coldly: "Bring her out of the East Palace and deal with the blood on the ground as soon as possible. Don't let the princess see you. ."
The attendant should be respectful.
After Mu Huai went to the Jiazheng Hall, Rong Xi still had lingering fears when he thought of that morning.
Xu was a court lady before, and she unconsciously gave birth to sympathy when she heard the misery of the court lady today.
When she first entered Quyun Palace, what she feared most was that she would be killed by Mu Huai just like the maid, and then carried out of this gorgeous palace sideways.
Those who were more frightened than Rong Xi were the servants of the East Palace.
Even Dan Xiang, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help but shake after returning from outside the hall.
After all the palace ladies learned the news of the tragic death of the palace lady, they completely cut off the idea of spreading everything in the East Palace.
If you go out of the palace again, you have to keep your mouth tight.
Xu was because he guessed that Rong Xi's mood was difficult to calm, and that Ye Muhuai returned to the East Palace very early.
After he went to court, he discussed several advance laws with Yan Juxu in the political affairs hall, because he knew that there would be a drought in Daqi three years later, and one of them won his heart.
Yan Juxu proposed that the imperial court should encourage local governments to build water conservancy projects. If there are no conditions for construction in various places, the imperial court will pay for this expenditure.
The imperial court used the treasury to hire farmers to build water conservancy facilities, and farmers who participated in the construction of water conservancy projects could also be exempted from taxes paid as appropriate.
In addition to the farmland water conservancy law, there is also the square land tax law.
Yan Juxu suggested that starting from the autumn harvest this year, the cultivated land should be checked in Daqi, and the cultivated land of different geology and hydrology should be divided into different levels, and then the corresponding taxes should be collected according to different levels.
In this way, the taxation of farmers in Daqi can be reduced, and it will also help Daqi cultivate and live up to health.
However, the laws and regulations related to the regulation of Bianjing’s business community are somewhat difficult to implement.
Mu Huai knows that most of Bianjing is protected by officials and businessmen. If this method is to be changed, too many interest groups will inevitably be touched and many people will oppose it.
Emperor Zhuang is conservative, and if he encounters opposition from officials in the court, he will inevitably be vacillating.
Mu Huai thought too much, and after sitting for a long time, he felt a little pain in his neck and shoulders.
He frowned, trying to ignore the uncomfortable energy in him.
However, he felt a little cool on the back of his neck, and the woman's soft fingertips had already covered her, and she was carefully massaging him.
There was a smile on Mu Huai's lips, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of the beauty without a word.
Rong Xi's stomach was straightened, still some distance from his armchair.
The more she got along with Mu Huai, the more she felt that the noble Prince Daqi was someone who had no hobbies at all.
Indulging in official business can only be counted as duty, and governing the country cannot be counted as a hobby.
Rong Xi blinked, and felt that Mu Huai's only hobby should be to do things with her.
And I'm not tired of it.
She bowed her head and continued to rub her shoulders and neck seriously for the man.
Daqi is now in a peaceful and prosperous age, but Mu Huai, the prince, always carries the sorrow of a turbulent monarch.
He was decisive, and acted cruelly.
The mind is also extremely deep.
Take the ceremony for the imperial concubine to be held next to Jinming Pond, for example, he did this not entirely to give her honor.
Mu Huai did this with a deeper purpose.
Both she and Mu Huai are outstanding people, and he did this to let the people of Bianjing see the style of the heavenly family, let the people have a good impression of him as the prince, and lay the foundation for his future ascension.
Mu Huai opened his eyes, put his hand on the soft back of the woman's hand, then turned his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your hand should be sore, let's rest."
Rong Xi said softly, walking behind him, Mu Huai grabbed her hand into his palm and never let go.
He played with her jade-like fingers one after another, and gently twisted her fingertips with his slightly shabby fingers.
Looking at Mu Huai's concentration, Rong Xi was a little helpless.
Yes, it seems that playing with her hands can also be counted as one of Mu Huai's hobbies.
The other men played with fingers or jade balls, but Mu Huai never wore those accessories, and liked playing with her hands every day.
Rong Xi was just thinking about it, and Mu Huai lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand and asked in a low voice, "Tonight, are you still sitting on a lone leg?"
When the man looked at her, those cold eyes were a little dark.
Rong Xi's cheeks reddened, and recently this man found that this posture was the most convenient.
Not only can she not touch her belly, but it is also convenient for him to **** her neck.
It's more convenient to deceive those two poor Acacia beans.
Rong Xi lowered his shy eyes and whispered softly: "Then...husband, don't toss too long, you have to go to the Moon Palace tomorrow to discuss the wedding ceremony with the two maidens..."
Mu Huai tugged her arm, and Rong Xi immediately understood.
After sitting on the man's lap, Mu Huai circled her and said in her ear: "I want you to do something for me."
Rong Xi was puzzled, and asked: "My husband, please tell me, my concubine must do my best for him."
Mu Huai kissed her forehead, and then whispered again: "In the bright moon palace tomorrow, there will be not only Concubine De and Concubine Shu, but also one person who wants to come here. If you don't need to be impatient, just get to know that person can."
Rong Xi should be the first.
She was a little excited, and Mu Huai finally agreed to do her job as before.
Otherwise, he would always be pampered in the East Palace, and she would feel like a canary, and she would be nurtured.
******
Early the next morning, after Rong Xi was neatly dressed, he walked to the Moon Palace with Danxiang.
Now that the month is old, walking in the palace is more conducive to the health of the baby.
The crown prince's Zhai Yiming suit was very generous, which could cover a lot of her bulging belly.
Originally, on the day of the wedding ceremony, according to the Daqi etiquette system, the queen would also attend the ceremony.
Emperor Zhuang also wanted the queen to participate in the ceremony, and by the way, she resolved her forbidden foot, but the queen was not willing to participate in Mu Huai's wedding ceremony.
The queen continued to complain of illness, hiding in Weiyang Palace behind closed doors.
As Mu Huai's mother-in-law, the queen did not attend the ceremony, which would inevitably make this marriage a bit wrong.
But Rong Xi didn't care about it, even without this gorgeous wedding ceremony, she didn't think it mattered.
As long as he is Mu Huai's wife and gets better, the others are secondary.
According to Mu Huai, one more person came to the Moon Palace.
That person is the eldest daughter of Mu Quan, the brother of Emperor Zhuang, whose name is called Mu Lao.
Mu Quan and Zhuang Di Mu Zhen were born out of their compatriots, and their feelings are deep. It is just that the elder brother of the sage is weak and sick, and he passed away many years ago.
Mu Lao has lost his father since he was a child and has been living with his mother in the palace.
The background of Mu Suo's mother, the Wang family, should not be underestimated. The Wang family is a family of generals and has a higher status in the court than Mu Huai's mother Yin family.
It was only in the past few years that Yin Cheng was outstanding in the army and Mu Huai was also deliberately promoted, and the Yin family became popular.
However, the Wang family of Mu Suo's mother is still a force that cannot be underestimated.
As the lord of Daqi, Mu Lao's status is extremely precious. Looking across the capital, few ladies can compare to her.
Last night before Rong Xi had time to ask Mu Huai about the reason, the man eagerly did it with her in the study.
She had to push halfway, and was sorely bullied.
What a shame.
Rong Xi gradually stopped his thoughts.
Mu Lao wore a Qingluo Juyi, his face was delicate and gentle, and his voice was neither delicate nor whitish. The words spoken were like Lingling voiceless, very feminine.
Her looks and voice are the kind that Rong Xi admires most.
Unlike Zhuang Shu who deliberately carried Zhai Shiyin, Mu Lao was full of coldness in his bones, and he was born with royal aristocratic temperament, and seemed gentle, but in fact, he was proud of himself and looked like an ice beauty.
Seeing Rong Xi looking at her secretly, Mu Lao nodded slightly, and said softly: "Emperor's wife Wanan."
Rong Xi also nodded to her.
Mu Lao was about the same age as her, he was very knowledgeable and respectful towards her, and Rong Xi felt very comfortable getting along with her.
Although Mu Huai did not explain to her the reason for drawing Mu Lao, Rong Xi already had a guess in his heart.
For a royal lady like Mu Lao, her mother can't decide her marriage.
Rong Xi guessed that Mu Huai should have calculated Mu Lao's marriage.
But she couldn't guess who Mu Huai would marry Mu Lao to.
After the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette explained the wedding ceremony through the screen, De Fei was gentle and deliberately raised Rong Xi.
Rong Xi was respectful to Concubine De. Although it was effortless for her to write down everything the officials of the Ministry of Rites said, he still pretended to listen respectfully.
Concubine Shu took a sip of tea and was always quiet.
Rong Xi originally thought that this concubine Shu could be quiet today.
But things went counterproductive, and the concubine Shu held the tea cup behind her high, and took out a veil from her sleeves, wiped the tea stains on her lips, and said in a strange manner: "It's not long before the princess entered the palace. I don’t understand the etiquette. If you don’t let the official of the Ministry of Etiquette say it again today, don’t make a fool of yourself in the wedding rituals and shame the prince."
After the conversation, De Fei's face changed slightly.
Mu Lao blinked heavily.
Neither of them spoke.
Rong Xi's expression did not change, and he smiled back to Concubine Shu and said, "I've written it down, and I'm more concerned about Concubine Shu."
Seeing Rong Xiyun's light and clear wind, Concubine Shu feels bad.
This kind of woman is the most terrifying, this Rong's wife will hide her emotions and will not answer her stinging words at all.
If she refuses to answer or pretends not to care, it will be difficult for her to find her handle and make her gaffe.
Concubine Shu calmed her mind.
She didn't believe that someone from Rong's background could have such good concentration.
Concubine Shu pretended to be concerned: "The crown princess does not mind. This palace is also for your sake, and I am afraid that you will make mistakes in front of the people. If you say that you remembered, then you can say that the officials of the Ministry of Rites will explain to you. What's up?"
Rong Xi smiled deeper and replied slowly with that delicate voice: "The official said, even if my mother's family is not in Bianjing, then the people will also be able to observe the greeting ceremony on the Sanhong Fairy Bridge on Jinming Lake. .Beside the Jinming Pond, there is always the tiger-winged naval forces of Daqi, so the prince and I do not have to worry about the safety of the prince. In addition to the personal welcome ceremony, we must also go to the palace for courtesy, toilet and temple visits. After the trip, he will also go to the Zirui Hall to accept the worship of the hundred officials."
After the conversation, Concubine Shu's expression suddenly became ugly.
The official of the Ministry of Rites behind the screen couldn't help but squeeze his palms, and said to the noble master in the hall through the screen: "The crown prince is really memorable, and it's exactly the same as the minister said."
Concubine Shu replied: "...The princess has a good memory."
At this moment, Mu Lao couldn't help but smile.
Rong Xi looked at her.
It was the first time that the two met today, and they smiled at each other tacitly.
After sitting for a while at Concubine De's place, Concubine Shu took the first step and Rong Xi and Mu Lao left the Moon Palace together.
After leaving the palace gate, Mu Lao saw that Rong Xi's pregnancy was obvious, so he asked with concern: "Since the emperor's wife is pregnant, why doesn't she go back to the palace?"
Rong Xi caressed his stomach gently, and replied softly: "The imperial doctor said that more walking is good for the baby in his stomach."
Seeing Mu Lao's enlightenment, Rong Xi said again, "You happen to be going to Changning Gate. I just want to walk around more today, so I will send you to Changning Gate. So, does the princess mind?"
Mu Lao shook her head and replied: "Don't mind, I'm very happy that the emperor's wife can send me some way in the palace."
Rong Xi has a sweet and soft voice and a beautiful appearance. Since she is her imperial sister-in-law, Mu Lao is very pleased to be close to her.
After all, Mu Lao was an aristocratic lady of royal origin. She talked well and was not cramped in front of Rong Xi. She took the initiative to mention Concubine Shu and said: "The emperor's wife is beautiful and young, and she is pregnant with a dragon heir. Concubine Shu lost her son early. Seeing pregnant women will inevitably get a little gaffe, so the emperor's wife should not mind."
Rong Xi smiled and replied: "I don't mind."
Mu Lao's remarks didn't directly explain. Actually, Concubine Shu was jealous of her for making trouble for her.
But anyone with a discerning eye can hear the actual meaning of her words.
How could Rong Xi fail to see that Concubine Shu always troubled her because she was jealous of her junior.
Thinking of this, Rong Xi shook his head helplessly.
As long as Concubine Shu does not touch her bottom line, she can bear a few sour words on weekdays.
After a while, everyone walked to the Changning Gate.
Mu Lao was about to leave the palace and return home. When Rong Xi bid farewell to her, he deliberately looked at the Ying Luo hanging on her clothes, and couldn't help but ask in admiration, "This Ying Luo on the princess is so ingenious. I don't know who made it? "
Mu Laolue was a little dazed, and replied: "I did it myself, the workmanship is not good, the emperor's wife laughed."
Rong Xi had seen the difference in Mu Luo's body early in the morning. It is said that a lady of her status should have a jade pendant.
But Mu Lao only fell with a unique style of yoke, she guessed that this yoke must have a special meaning to her.
Rong Xi said again: "The workmanship is not exquisite? I also want people from the Shangyi Bureau to make something similar."
Seeing that the Yingluo he made by himself was liked by Rong Xi, Mu Lao was delighted, and replied: "If the emperor's wife likes it, I will make a few more after returning to the palace and send you to the East Palace."
Rong Xi deliberately pretended to be very excited, but extremely restrained, and replied: "That's really good, let's not hide from the princess, my sweet soup and sugar water in the East Palace are excellent, and they are better than those made by Yujie Fanlou. It should also be delicious. If the princess is free, he can often come to my east palace to sit and sit, and I will treat it well."
She was just at the Moon Palace, and seeing that Mu Lao had used a few more chestnut cakes, she guessed that Mu Lao, like all her daughters, likes sweet and greasy food.
Sure enough, Mu Lao's eyes were also a little excited, but he restrained: "Thank you, the emperor's wife, I will be free in the day, I will sit in the East Palace."
The twilight confuses.
After Mu Lao exited the Changning Gate, Rong Xi looked at her far away back, returning to her usual calm look.
On the way back to the East Palace, Rong Xi thought, fortunately, Mu Lao is a gentle girl with excellent personality. Although she looks solemn and graceful, she is a very sincere person inside.
If you want to change to Muqian's temperament, it will be difficult to win.
Rong Xi and Danxiang returned to the East Palace when the evening glow was overwhelming.
But seeing a huge mahogany box on the floor of the main hall, Rong Xi was puzzled, and asked the **** in the hall, "Who sent this?"
The **** replied respectfully: "This is a wedding gift for the prince and the prince, the prince and concubine of the prince in the future."
Rong Xi was even more curious, and asked, "The son of the feudal kingdom?"
The **** replied: "Back to the crown prince, he is the eldest son of the Falcon Kingdom."
After that, the **** handed the envelope in his arms to Rong Xi, and said: "This is a congratulatory text handwritten by the son of Huguo."
After Rong Xi took it with doubts, she saw that the seal wax on the letter was printed with the special totem of the country of falcons. After she tore the letter open, she saw that the congratulatory text was written with gold-colored words inside.
That He's text is all clichés, there is nothing to look at carefully.
She just left the envelope on the small case at will, but found something wrong with the envelope.
Rong Xifu picked up the envelope again, and after careful observation, he found that the envelope was sandwiched.
She called a group of people to retreat, and then quietly tore the mezzanine.
The letterhead in it is not a congratulatory message, but something like this--
"The northern falcon's wild is full of gloom and white clouds. My younger brother has been in a foreign country for many years, and whenever he sees Gesang flowers in the wilderness, he thinks of sister's smile. Although my sister is not at the side, there are Gesang flowers that often bloom, if my sister is always at my side. My brother misses my sister very much, and I hope sister is safe.
The faster Rong Xi's heartbeat, when he saw the inscription place, he wrote the word "Ahui" crookedly.
She felt a little moved, but she also knew that this letter could not be kept. When she was about to find a brazier to burn it, she didn't know that Mu Huai had returned.
With a big hand, he snatched the letter paper in her hand.
Rong Xi panicked and hurried to **** the letter paper, but Mu Huai had already raised the letter paper.
Mu Huai was already much taller than her, and she couldn't reach him with such a move.
Mu Huai glanced at Rong Xi, then looked at the letter paper.
Before he took a closer look, he sneered and said to Rong Xi: "Who wrote these characters? It's ugly."
Rong Xi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Mu Huai turned his head, frowned, and looked at the content of the letter carefully. Sure enough, when he saw the word Ahui, his smiling face suddenly became gloomy.
He angrily threw the letter paper to the ground.
The writing is messy, I didn't expect that the wolf cub would be pretentious.
