Chapter 650 Chapter 650 Accident in the Foreign Merchandise Hall(1/3)
Pei Yuanhao wants to enthrone Nangong Lizhu as the imperial concubine.??
I was not surprised by this news. Shen Rou fell, and someone must have taken over her position. And who else can sit in the position of the imperial concubine who is less than one person in the harem, except for Nangong Lizhu?
Speaking of which, I understand a little bit why Mingzhu didn't dare to tell Chang Qing the reason.
The position of Nangong Lizhu in the emperor's heart can be seen by anyone with a pair of eyes in the harem. The reason why Shen Rou has been able to equalize her over the years is that relying on the power of Shen Gongyi's court, now that the Shen family has collapsed, this imperial concubine can no longer be regarded as the imperial concubine. Then, it is immediately reported that Nangong Lizhu wants to be a imperial concubine, which shows that Pei Yuanhao has been extremely fond of her.
However, Mingzhu came to me...
Could it be that she thought I was a bit important to the emperor because she saw the emperor and empress taking care of me these days, or because of the terrace in the imperial garden, she thought I could fight with Nangong Lizhu in front of the emperor?
Thinking of this, I smiled faintly.
He held Xiao Nianyun in his arms with difficulty, patting his back, and coaxing him in a low voice: "Oh... the baby doesn't cry, don't cry..."
Nian Yun cried loudly, but it was hard to coax him. No matter how I shook him gently and patted him on the back, I still struggled to cry in my arms and whispered, with my little face flushing red.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
I heard his weak crying sound like a kitten sobbing, and I couldn't help feeling distressed. I turned my head and carefully pressed my cheek against his face, and kissed him gently.
I remember someone told me that what children are most greedy for is this feeling of skin smoothness, almost thirsty greed, because such touch will make him feel loved and protected. And Nian Yun-Shen Rou is afraid that she will not have such leisure to touch her child; Pei Yuanhao, there is no time; although Mingzhu is still devoted to him, after all, she is not a mother, and she has never given birth to a child, and she will not experience this feeling of deep love.
I don’t know if I was tired of crying or if this kind of caress really worked, Nian Yun’s crying slowly became less and finally stopped. Tears were still hanging on her chubby face, and she was sobbing and staring at me blankly.
I carefully wiped away his tears with my thumb, hugged him and patted him gently.
The child seemed to have no reaction to any sound or color from the outside world. He just looked at me firmly, and it felt like he was going to print the outline of this person into his eyes. After a while, his little mouth widened and he yawned a big yawn.
I hugged him and coaxed him for a while before carefully putting him back into the cradle.
Waiting for the child to lie down and sleep steadily, I raised my head, looked at Mingzhu who had been looking at me, and said, "Then what do you want to do when you come to me?"
Mingzhu hurriedly said, "Mr. Yue, I know this request is too much. The imperial concubine treated you like that-but I really have no choice. Master Yue, can you ask the emperor to tell you to raise the second prince?"
"I?"
"Yes, yes." She nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Yue, please help him for the sake of the innocent child. Just save his life."
Save his life?
I looked down at the ignorant child sleeping in the cradle. A saliva flowed down from the slightly opened mouth. Who can bear to harm such a ignorant and innocent child like this?
But in this palace, I am afraid that children who are more innocent and harmless than him will die inexplicably.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grit my teeth.
Mingzhu looked at my face wrong, and didn't know what I thought of, so she said carefully: "Mr. Yue..."
I turned my head to look at her and said slowly: "You are so dedicated to this child. It seems that you are very loyal to Shen Rou."
She was stunned for a moment, blushed, lowered her head and whispered: "Sir Yue, don't make fun of me. If I were really loyal, I wouldn't have come to you at the beginning."
"and you--"
"Adults, people's hearts are full of flesh. When the second prince was born, I took him with me. When I said something presumptuous, I also treated him as a piece of flesh on my body; Besides, I really can't bear to have a child..."
Seeing her constantly rubbing her red eyes, I fell silent.
Yes, everyone has compassion.
But why, why, why some people just don’t!
Mingzhu kept looking at me, and when she saw that I didn't speak, she became more nervous: "Mr. Yue..."
"You make me think about it."
"grown ups."
I can understand her anxiousness. Now she treats me as a life-saving straw, but I won’t be confused and said calmly: “Don’t forget, after Concubine Shen fell, who is the person Li hates the most?”
"..." Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.
When Shen Rou fell, I was the thorn in Nangong Lizhu's remaining eyes. Although she might not want to act rashly because of the fact that she wanted to be a concubine these days, she could not have no hatred for me, especially in Jimahe Valley, she would have to take action sooner or later. This child is even more sinister than me, and it is even more dangerous for me to take him in.
Although I am not a bad person, I am not a stupid person.
At this moment, Shui Xiu's voice came from outside. Mingzhu immediately closed her mouth vigilantly, and heard the door being knocked. Shui Xiu stood outside the door and said, "Sir, are you here?"
"Well, Shuixiu, I'm here."
"Eunuch Yu has already sent the sign here, we are going to give it."
"good."
I stood up, looked at the child again, and walked slowly out. Mingzhu followed unwillingly until I opened the door. Shui Xiu seemed to come over to see him with some concern. As soon as she saw Mingzhu, her face immediately showed an unhappy expression, but she still bowed to her and said lazily: "Select the servant, I am polite."
Mingzhu didn't even bother to pay attention to her, but looked at me: "Sir..."
I turned around and said to her, "I will take this matter to my heart."
“…”
"You, take good care of Your Highness."
“…”
"Don't talk to outsiders about this."
"……yes."
When Mingzhu heard me say this, she was like a drowning man grabbing the life-saving straw. She nodded quickly. I sighed and walked out with Shui Xiu. When she walked to the door, she could still see her standing at the door of the house, looking at us helplessly.
Shui Xiu pouted slightly and said, "Sir, what can she do when she is looking for you?"
I just sighed in my heart: "It's okay. Let's go."
"oh."
.
After receiving the sign of Eunuch Yu, we left the palace gate.
Sitting in the carriage, he slowly listened to the originally quiet surroundings becoming lively, and it seemed that they had entered the bustling street. Some vendors shouted loudly from both sides, people coming and going greeted, and the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground and wheels rolling across the lane.
The curtains also swayed with the carriage, and you could vaguely see people outside.
Shui Xiu sat by the window, looking outside from time to time, then snorted and pulled the curtain a little tightened.
Looking at her childish temperament, I couldn't help but smile: "He didn't offend you again."
"It's annoying to see that dead face."
Shui Xiu was not talking about others, but a guard named Du Yan who left the palace this time and accompanied us out with us.
This man is not old, but in his twenties, and he is extremely handsome. He has a serious expression on his face, as if he is with a demon god by his side. It is indeed uncomfortable. In fact, when I left the palace, Pei Yuanhao naturally arranged for others to follow him. I was too lazy to guess and look at him, but this man followed him on the surface. I didn't care about him, and I had nothing to say. Only Xiao Fuzi, who was responsible for driving the car, was smart and afraid that he would be cold. He would talk to him from time to time and ask ten questions. It would be good if Du Yan could answer one sentence, and he would not have passed three words.
When Shu Xiu saw this, she became even more inconsistent with this person, and she looked at him all the way.
The carriage staggered for a while, then stopped. Xiao Fuzi whispered outside: "Girl, that's it."
After hearing this, I moved over and lifted the curtain, and saw Du Yan turning over and coming down from the horse's back. He got off the horse and immediately saw a door shop on the street with four doors open and a big sign on the door - Du Lai Pavilion.
Come here...
I silently recited these two words in my heart, and didn't say anything. Xiao Fuzi had carefully lifted the curtain and helped me down. As soon as I stood still, he turned back to pick up Shuixiu. The girl squatted in the car and waved her hand: "I'll do it myself."
After saying that, he jumped down from above.
But she was useless, and she almost fell into a dog's shit when she was staggering. I hurriedly reached out to help her, but saw a figure around her. Du Yan stepped forward and fell into his arms.
Shui Xiu hit his head against his solid chest, and the man was stunned. He raised his head and looked at him foolishly. The next moment, he immediately pushed him away as if he was burned: "What are you doing?"
Du Yan was pushed away by her and took two steps back, looked at her faintly, and said nothing.
Xiao Fuzi hurried forward: "Shuixiu, is it okay? Didn't you fall?"
Shui Xiu rubbed her ankles, pouted and didn't say anything. Xiao Fuzi hurriedly helped her and helped her rub: "Is it okay? Is it sprained ankle? Does it still hurt? Do you want to sit down and rest?"
"It's okay, don't you sting your scorpion."
"That's good." Xiao Fuzi smiled with relief, then turned around and saw Du Yan standing aside with a cold face, and said with a smile: "Thank you just now."
Du Yan glanced at him: "It's not you."
It means that you are not the one who saves you, you don’t need to thank you.
Xiao Fuzi was stunned for a moment, and was choked by these three words and said nothing. When Shu Xiu heard this, she immediately pulled him behind him: "How did you speak? I didn't want you to help either."
"..." Du Yan glanced at her again and closed her mouth.
I watched from the side, and somehow it was like watching a show. But Xiao Fuzi turned around and saw my smiley expression on his face, and hurriedly said, "Sir, it's okay. It's this place, let's go in."
I kept my laughter, turned around and walked towards the "Fernando".
.
The shop has a large door, but it is well-organized inside. Most of the dazzling array of goods on the shelves have never been seen before. Even if it is used, the styles are different from what you usually see, and it is completely different. As soon as Shui Xiu came in, she was stunned and was attracted by the moving villain in the small box so that her eyes couldn't even turn away.
I walked slowly and watched.
The items here are not cheap, because there are not many customers coming and going in the store, and most of them are looking for something new. A guy behind the counter was sitting lazily until he saw a few of us dressed in, his eyes lit up and hurriedly came up to smile and said, "Please look at it casually, guests."
I glanced at him and smiled faintly, "It seems that there are few things here."
To be continued...
