Chapter 46: Seeking Concubine
"Who is the girl referring to?" Wan Wei's voice was very quiet, but Aunt Xu still heard it.
Subconsciously, I thought Miss Li was talking about His Highness Chu, so I quickly looked around and there was no sound of anyone, thinking that Miss Li had hallucinations.
"Where is anyone, Miss Li~" Aunt Xu didn't think much about it, took out a piece of white silk from her waist and wiped away the rain stains in the evening wardrobe inch by inch.
That day, after His Highness Chu sent the sword to Miss Li, he originally said that he wanted to teach Miss Li to use the sword. As soon as he left the wooden house, a follower who came out of nowhere ran out and said a few words in His Highness Chu's ear. Since that day, His Highness has been in the future for two days.
Aunt Xu covered her shawl on her shoulders.
Miss Li had asked His Highness Chu many times when she would come back, but Aunt Xu herself didn't know what was difficult to have in the palace. She only heard her hands conveying His Highness Chu's words and asked her to take good care of Miss Li and wait for His Highness to come back.
Without getting the answer, Miss Li pestered Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu had no choice but to ask her subordinates, who only told her that His Highness was handling state affairs. Aunt Xu conveyed this matter to the girl. After hearing this, the girl didn't say much, but said, "I don't know when I will be back."
Seeing that Miss Li was still looking at another place, a gust of wind blew over and blew the dead leaves on the ground, she raised her head and looked up, and smiled slightly, "Aunt Xu, I'm tired, let's go back." There was a rare pleasure in her words.
Aunt Xu didn't hear the implication of her words. She really thought that Miss Li was tired of practicing swordsmanship, so she hurriedly helped her back into the house.
As soon as the two men entered the house, a strong wind blew from the forest outside the window. Mo Ziran hung at the end of the tree. In order not to make any metal collision, the man covered the scabbard on his waist. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was agile. He climbed the tree with light skills the moment the wooden house opened. Otherwise, it would be difficult to hide in such a place where there were wastelands around him.
The moment he saw Li Wanmi, he couldn't believe his eyes, she was actually practicing swordsmanship!
Her swordsmanship is not only unprofessional but also a little funny. It seems that she is playing with the sword, but when he walked to her and saw her face, he realized that she was practicing seriously. In Mo Ziran's impression, how can a blind man practice sword? How can he practice swords even when walking is difficult? Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, and there was a slight sarcasm.
This idea was preserved until then. At that time, he hid on the trunk of the tree. When Li Wanli looked up, although Mo Ziran knew that she could not see it, she felt guilty when she looked at it like this. You must know that it was impossible to take the action of looking up from the angle she was talking to Aunt Xu. She clearly felt the movement behind her and turned around and looked up.
Mo Ziran quietly went down the tree, stood firmly on the ground before relaxing. He was still a little palpitations. The woman just now clearly had found her place, but she didn't even tell her traces of the woman who was taking care of the rain. Why did she do this?
Also, a smile that disappeared from the corner of her mouth after she turned around was unpredictable.
Such a woman is really a little concerned. Thinking of Mo Ziran's lips slightly flattening, he now knows why he is interested in such a girl.
Thinking of this, he turned around and left the bamboo forest.
Wei Hechu, who returned to Yangcheng Palace, was sitting in Concubine Xiao's palace. Concubine Xiao called Wei Hechu back to the palace with the excuse of the accident in the palace, "Where have you been there in the past few days?" Concubine Xiao put the teacup from her mouth and handed the cup to the nanny standing aside. The nanny took the cup from the concubine's hand and placed it on the small table next door. She raised her eyes and saw the look of His Highness Chu avoiding her eyes.
The nanny watched His Highness grow up since she was a child. How could the nanny not see what was wrong with him?
Judging from the appearance, the atmosphere in the hall was not right, and Your Highness should have something to hide from the Empress.
You should know that His Highness Chu secretly ran to Yucheng and was known to the Imperial Concubine. It would be fine if the relationship between the two countries was sensitive. But Wei Hechu brought a woman to Yang Cheng with great fanfare. The people saw it. It was impossible to block the news. Concubine Xiao would inevitably be angry after learning the news.
Seeing that the atmosphere was quite tense, the nanny quickly rushed to say good things to His Highness in front of the Queen's fire, "Your Highness is dedicated to Nanyang, and many things about the imperial city are heard in the first Highness. This is to find out whether the sources of information are true."
She stopped talking about this. The nanny had always understood the degree of measure. This was also the life experience gained from living in the palace for most of her life, but after doing these things, there was no need.
After the nanny finished speaking, she glanced at the concubine with a little light. Usually, the concubine would be persuaded by herself at this time, but today she still stared at Wei Hechu with a stern face. It seemed that Concubine Xiao was really angry with His Highness this time.
After the nanny finished speaking, Concubine Xiao never spoke. It was probably another cup of tea. The nanny looked at Wei He Chu a few times, and his eyes were squinting. He was looking out the window. Concubine Xiao said warmly, "Some time ago, I was considering taking concubines for you." She paused for a moment, and her terrible gaze returned to Wei He Chu's face.
"Chu'er, you have to know your identity. You are the second prince and second prince of Yangcheng. The concubines in the harem should have a force. If you don't like it, your mother can also find a lady from a noble family for you."
"..." Wei Hechu didn't say anything, but just moved his eyes from the window to the house and back to the woman's face.
He looked at her not like a child looking at her mother, but more like a stranger's expression.
"Mother's mother is thinking too much." He stood up and cleaned up the wrinkles on his clothes, his voice a little hoarse. "Since the mother is looking for someone to stare at me, he should know that I have nothing to do with her, so the fact is not as the mother said."
After saying that, Wei Hechu raised his foot and was about to walk out, but he heard the voice of Concubine Xiao coming from behind and stopped.
"Wei Yuran has become a general and will not inherit the throne in the future. As the second prince, you should know your identity!" Her tone was very plain, "I have raised you for twenty years, and my hands are covered with blood. Chu'er, you must think clearly that you should not make a wrong move at this time."
Haha, Wei Hechu laughed. Didn’t this woman raise her for her age? She said that for her own good, she was just a pawn that stabilized her harem status. He turned around and looked to the side, "Mother's mother is good for the child, so the child naturally understands that the child will take his leave first." Seeing that Concubine Xiao had to say something, Wei Hechu turned to the side and said to the nanny standing beside him, "Mother's mother has been too thoughtful recently. If she had nothing to do, it would be better than taking her in the house. Madam, take good care of me." After that, she turned around and disappeared into the hall.
"Madam, go check the identity of that woman for me. I want all the information about her!"
The nanny thought it was a bit troubling. It seemed that the imperial concubine wanted to get rid of the person. Both sides should not be offended. This... she still agreed and turned around and left the hall gate.
