"Haha, forget it, I shouldn't ask!" Gu Hong was not as angry as last time, but he was sad in his heart. I think he is also the most elegant prince in the Canfeng Dynasty, and he spent everything but couldn't get Mo Jinran.
, how sad!
In fact, before he asked, he knew what the result would be, but he couldn't guess the reason for Mo Jinran's decision. But he couldn't help but ask once, maybe Mo Jinran would agree? That way
, he will do anything to keep the person in front of him.
He doesn't care about the national gold pendant or the future world. What if he has the whole world? But he only cares about the little woman in front of him.
She looks so strong on the outside, and because of this, Gu Hong wants to care for her and protect her even more. He knows that there is often a fragile heart underneath the tough appearance.
"Ninth Prince, I'm sorry!"
"You have nothing to apologize to me. It's night, let's go back!" Gu Hong looked at the night that was about to get dark, and there was a slight wind. Even if they couldn't be together, he was still worried about her, fearing that the night wind would hurt her.
cold.
So the two of them returned to the inn. Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mo Jinran seemed to be fine. He prepared desserts for Mo Jinran, which were all Mo Jinran's favorite. Mo Jinran ate them
The bottom is turned upside down, but in fact, the food is tasteless, just to prevent people who worry about themselves from worrying.
The return journey was very lonely without the deserted scenery. Maybe I'm sorry for saying this to Gu Hong and Xu Yi, but Mo Jinran was bored the entire return journey. The sky was not so blue and the water was not so clear. She stayed in the carriage all day long.
, much depressed.
Finally, they returned to Canfeng's imperial city. This visit could be regarded as a successful return. After entering the city, she was a little timid. She had to go home again and see Princess Xili again.
After Gu Hong entered the city gate, he took his people back to the palace to recover, while Mo Jinran could go back to the palace to rest first, and then enter the palace to meet the saint tomorrow.
If it were in the past, Xu Yi would definitely go back with Mo Jinran, but it's different now, Mo Jinran already has a wife.
I went to the jewelry store in the city and chose two gold hairpins, one for Mrs. Ping and one for Princess Xili. Then I rushed home. I had received news from my family a few days ago, and my family also knew that she was coming back today.
A sumptuous meal has been prepared and waiting for her.
Princess Xili has a smile on her face, but she has lost a lot of weight. On the contrary, Mrs. Ping has become much plumper and her complexion has improved a lot. The smile on her face is extremely bright.
"Son! You're back!" Mrs. Ping and Princess Xili were waiting at the gatehouse together, and walked into the courtyard with Mo Jinran.
"Mom, Your Highness Princess, how are you doing lately? Where is daddy?"
"Your father has official business and will come back in the evening. Mother and the princess are both very good!" The fake mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well at first sight, which made Mo Jinran feel very relieved. He gave the hairpins to them respectively, letting them know that they were very happy.
They couldn't help themselves.
After chatting with Mrs. Ping for a long time in Mrs. Ping's garden, Mo Jinran brought Princess Xili to his garden. In fact, there were no changes here from before they got married. After Princess Xili got married, he just said that it would stay the same.
Well. The Prince Consort's Mansion was under construction at that time, so no big effort was spent here. Everyone knew that they would move out sooner or later.
"Your Highness, thank you for taking care of my mother!"
"Serving your mother-in-law is what Xili should do!" Princess Xili lowered her head and did not look at Mo Jinran.
Mo Jinran was deeply moved by her virtue. The Xili in front of her was no longer as sharp as before and looked like a good wife, which made Mo Jinran feel even more guilty.
"Princess, you have to take good care of yourself. In just a short time, you have lost a lot of weight." This was an ordinary concern, but Xili was deeply moved. She raised her head, her eyes were a little red, and she looked at her with burning eyes.
By Mo Jinran.
"It's great that you can still care about me!"
"You are my...wife, so naturally I should care about you!"
Princess Xili smiled sadly when she heard this, and said softly: "The prince-in-law has also lost a lot of weight!"
Mo Jinran also smiled bitterly. Since Leng Qing left, she had eaten a lot every day, but she didn't know the taste of the food and felt depressed, so she naturally became less clear. But she persisted, thinking that Leng Qing would give her a letter when he arrived at the village.
He would tell her when he would come back. But this time she was disappointed, there was no news at all. And she was not willing to write to him first. She just wanted to hear him tell her personally and give herself a promise.
She and Princess Xili are as close as guests, and because Mrs. Ping has become Princess Xili's mother-in-law, no one dares to look down on her, and the entire Mo family is happy. General Mo is even more satisfied with this,
He always felt sorry for Mrs. Ping when she was wronged, but he didn't want to pamper his wife and concubines too much, and now she has complied with his wishes.
At night, Princess Xili fell asleep on the bed, and Mo Jinran lay on the couch for a long time without falling asleep. He simply put on his clothes and went to the courtyard where he lived before being deserted.
The room was dark, but it had the light orchid scent of Leng Qing. There were also things used by Leng Qing inside, which made Mo Jinran even more sentimental. She lay on the bed where Leng Qing had slept, greedily breathing the air with his scent.
.In this way, you can fall asleep.
But this time she fell asleep, but missed the morning time. No one knew that she had come to the courtyard where she lived before being deserted, so she could not be found early in the morning, and the whole house was in chaos. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw
The huge sun realizes that it has missed the time.
I hurriedly ran back to my room and saw Yi Gan who was as anxious as a fly on his brow.
"What should we do? Prince Consort, you missed the morning court!" Xin'er and Yue'er were really worried about Mo Jinran!
"Let's do this. I and my consort will go into the palace together to apologize to my father!"
"This... I'm just bothering the princess!" Mo Jinran sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to do so. He looked at Princess Xili with apologies written all over his face.
"You are the husband of this palace, why should you be so outspoken?" Princess Xili said, and had already gone to change clothes. On weekdays, she dressed the same as a lady from a wealthy family in the palace, but when entering the palace, she dressed naturally
You have to be more particular. Mo Jinran also changed into court clothes, and then the two of them went to the palace.
The emperor was originally a little annoyed with Mo Jinran, but when he saw the couple entering the palace together, his anger generally subsided. However, he still had a calm face: "What happened to the consort that delayed the morning court?"
Just as Mo Jinran was about to explain, Princess Xili blushed and spoke. "Father, don't blame the consort, it's all my fault..."
"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, he looked at Princess Xili and then at Mo Jinran. Seeing the closeness between the two of them, he thought something wrong. "Okay, I understand. You two, a little separation is better than a wedding. This time
I won’t blame you!”
"Thank you, Father!"
Princess Xili's thanks made Mo Jinran blush gorgeously. Xili's meaning was obvious, and the emperor had misunderstood. After a long separation, husband and wife naturally have things to do as husband and wife, and they are innocent!
But this didn't need others to know. After the family chatted for a few times, the emperor let Mo Jinran go.
Mo Jinran accompanied Princess Xili to visit her mother-in-law and paid greetings to the Queen Mother before returning home.
"Princess, thank you!"
"Husband, don't be so arrogant. You and I each have what we need, and we must support each other!"
After leaving the palace, Princess Xili automatically distanced herself from Mo Jinran, letting Mo Jinran understand that she had no other wrong thoughts. However, they saw Gu Hong at the palace gate, and Gu Hong was a little confused.
He looked worried. After all, if he didn't go to court early, it wouldn't be easy for the emperor to ask about his guilt.
"Uncle Huang, Xili has met Uncle Huang!"
"Ninth Prince!" Mo Jinran saluted awkwardly. It was really inappropriate for her to call her this way when her "wife" was replaced by Uncle Gu Hong.
"Well! Is the Emperor to blame?"
Mo Jinran shook his head, and Gu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. "I still have something to do, so go ahead!" After Gu Hong finished speaking, he rode away.
But Princess Xili noticed something. The dignified Ninth Prince was guarding the palace gate just to ask such a question?
Mo Jinran felt warm in his heart and did not notice Princess Xili's thoughts. The two got into the carriage and went back to the house.
In the blink of an eye, it had been three months since they were separated from Leng Qing. Mo Jinran would sleep in the room before Leng Qing every night, but he would come secretly in the middle of the night and go back secretly in the early morning, and only Princess Xili knew about this.
Seeing her husband like this, Princess Xili became even more haggard. She finally couldn't help it and asked. "Husband-in-law, it is said that Mr. Leng lived in the yard next door. Isn't he coming back?"
Mo Jinran was stunned. He didn't expect Princess Xili to ask about Leng Qing. "Well, I don't know. Before he went home to deal with some matters, he didn't say he would come back, nor did he say he wouldn't come back."
Hearing Mo Jinran's disappointment, Princess Xili became even more aware. "Since my consort is thinking about Mr. Leng, why don't you write a letter?"
Mo Jinran couldn't help but look at Princess Xili. She remembered that she had told Princess Xili about her broken sleeves. Princess Xili would naturally think that she and Leng Qing were a couple. This was half truth and half false, so she did not explain it.
He just smiled and shook his head.
"I heard that Mr. Leng was very nice to his consort, but they had a quarrel?"
"It's not really a quarrel!"
"Consort, you can't always be so depressed. Look, you've lost weight again." Princess Xili's tone was a little anxious. Even though she tried hard to hide it, Mo Jinran could still feel her feelings. It was just this feeling.
, she really can't afford it. What Princess Xili wants is something she can't give in her life.
"Thank you for your concern, princess, I'm fine!"
Princess Xili bit her lip and said nothing. Both of them kept a certain distance from each other, but Princess Xili wanted to take a step closer to Mo Jinran, but Mo Jinran was
She kept retreating. This made Princess Xili very sad. Mo Jinran lost a lot of weight, so why not her? There is probably no other princess in the world who can do this.
