In decades of life, there are often far more unsatisfactory things than one imagines. So Xi Honglei is very happy and satisfied with her current situation. Of course, she also wants to thank the person who brought her all this, Mu
Yunmeng.
Mu Yunmeng didn't know what method he used to convince Fu Yufeng that they no longer need to go back to live in the palace in the capital, but can always live in Fengyun Villa. It's just that when Fu Yufeng has something to do, they need to go to the palace to help him. However,
The number of times Fu Yufeng spoke to Mu Yunmeng was very few, even...not as many as Ouyang Yu. So when Xi Honglei heard that Fu Yufeng sent his cronies to come to Mu Yunmeng overnight, she was very curious.
What happened to make this emperor, who always dealt with things calmly and calmly, become so impatient.
Xi Honglei followed Mu Yunmeng into the palace. This was her first time here after half a year. The last time it was Fu Yufeng's birthday, she and Mu Yunmeng came to join in the fun.
Looking at Fu Yufeng's frown, Xi Honglei knew that the seriousness of the situation seemed to have exceeded their imagination. She smiled at Fu Yufeng, half teasing and half comforting and said: "If the emperor looks like this, the harem will be disappointed."
The ladies saw it, but they were heartbroken. You guys chat, I’ll go out for a walk.”
Women should not interfere in state affairs. Xi Honglei has always understood this truth.
Xi Honglei left the room and followed Bai Moyue who came with them, walking aimlessly in the palace. Two months have passed since the Spring Festival, and the spring breeze that came quietly made this large palace feel empty.
, it became slightly warmer.
Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue walked forward while looking at the scenery of red flowers and green willows. However, after a while, they encountered an even more beautiful "scenery", which forced them to stop.
"Isn't this Princess Qi? Which courtyard should I be regarded as the master of?" The beauty coming towards her made the smile in Xi Honglei's eyes fade a little. She stood there, listening to the woman's gentle words.
The voice, which was not very pleasant, just smiled slightly. "Why did the princess bring a servant when she came into the palace? If outsiders saw this, they would think that there is no one in Prince Qi's palace?"
Xi Honglei did not often enter the palace, and Bai Moyue did not. Therefore, it is understandable for people who do not know her to regard her as Xi Honglei's personal maid.
Xi Honglei calmed down her mood and said softly to the woman in front of her whom she had met several times: "I just accompanied the prince to the palace. I felt it was unnecessary, so I didn't bring anyone else with me. On the contrary, Concubine Yue was pregnant with her.
If you are pregnant, you should wear two more clothes on your body."
Lin Yue is the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Xixi Kingdom. She entered the palace and became a noble concubine because of Mu Yunmeng.
As Mu Yunmeng stayed in the Xixi Kingdom for longer and longer, the evaluation and attitude of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty towards him gradually changed. Fu Yufeng's consistent use and Ouyang Yu's praise made him more and more popular.
The more people want to have something to do with Mu Yunmeng, and also take the opportunity to enjoy the emperor's favor. And it is not just the ministers who are interested in Mu Yunmeng, but also the unmarried young ladies.
them.
Mu Yunmeng has only married Xi Honglei for so many years, and has never mentioned the matter of taking concubines. This has also made Xi Honglei a topic among some people and an object of envy.
Although Xi Honglei married into the royal family, unlike other princesses, she did not have to endure the same difficulties as those people. Instead, she lived in seclusion with Mu Yunmeng all year round. Looking at the civil and military ministers of the royal family,
Is there any family without three wives and four concubines? But Mu Yunmeng only focused on Xi Honglei.
This Lin Yue was the one who tried every means to marry into Prince Qi's palace, but in the end, Mu Yunmeng was sent directly to Fu Yufeng.
Once you enter this palace gate, you will never want to leave. This is a truth that everyone in the harem understands. When Lin Yue first entered the palace, because she was very favored by Fu Yufeng, she felt that it was nothing. Although
I still blame Mu Yunmeng in my heart, but I also quite enjoy the feeling of being flattered by others. Unfortunately, as time goes by, the conspiracies and intrigues among the women in the harem gradually come to the surface. I am unable to bear and counterattack others' schemes.
Lin Yue lost her first child due to negligence. From that time on, she began to hate Mu Yunmeng.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. It's just that my sister is still young and in good health, so I can still bear the spring breeze."
Lin Yue sarcastically said that Xi Honglei was old, which made Bai Moyue on the side couldn't help but couldn't stand it.
Xi Honglei shook her head at Bai Moyue and stopped her urge to speak. She replied to Lin Yue, "No matter how young you are, you can't help but tormenting, so Concubine Yue had better be careful about the child in her belly."
Xi Honglei's words undoubtedly hit Lin Yue's heart hard. She gritted her teeth and looked at the retreating figures of Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue, stamped her feet angrily, and turned around with a distorted expression.
.
"Who is that girl?" Bai Moyue couldn't help but ask Xi Honglei after she walked away.
"He's just a poor man. He doesn't get what he wants, so he comes to vent his anger on me." Xi Honglei told Bai Moyue with a smile on his lips, what happened between Lin Yue and Mu Yunmeng, after hearing Bai Moyue
After a chuckle, Xi Honglei also fell into deep thought.
Although we all walk our own paths, we cannot escape the destiny.
If Mu Yunmeng had chosen to become the emperor, would she feel sad and helpless like Lin Yue today for living in this harem? What if Mu Yunmeng really married another woman and became a concubine?
, then will she also swallow her anger and accept his choice?
Everything is fate. She is grateful for everything she has received today, and she is also grateful that she has chosen such a person.
After Xi Honglei and Bai Moyue went around in a circle, they returned to the place where they started. The conversation between Fu Yufeng and Mu Yunmeng seemed to have just ended, and there was still a slight heavy atmosphere in the room.
After Mu Yunmeng inadvertently touched Xi Honglei's slightly cold fingers, she frowned slightly and asked, "Where are you going? Why don't you wear more clothes."
"I just walked around with Mo Yue, it's okay." Xi Honglei withdrew his hand held by Mu Yunmeng and turned to look at Fu Yufeng.
Fu Yufeng was staring blankly at the hands held by Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei. After seeing Xi Honglei looking at him, Fu Yufeng was stunned for a moment, and then said to Mu Yunmeng: "Yunmeng, can I
Can’t you say a few words to Honglei?”
Fu Yufeng's request did not occur to Mu Yunmeng or Xi Honglei. Mu Yunmeng glanced at Fu Yufeng suspiciously, nodded, and walked out of the room.
"How come the emperor is in such good spirits and wants to chat with me?" Xi Honglei sat down where Mu Yunmeng was sitting just now and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had a chance to talk to you properly, and I suddenly wanted to talk to you. After all, there is no such smart woman as Miss Xi in my harem."
"Hong Lei, thank you for your compliments and compliments. There are so many concubines and concubines in the harem, maybe it's just that the emperor hasn't discovered the one you like."
Ouyang Yu is a weirdo, and Fu Yufeng is even more weird. He has brought so many women into the palace, but so far he still has not established a queen. He allows those women to fight in the harem, and the veterans persuade him earnestly, but he just doesn't want to.
He was so moved that people couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Sometimes I really envy you and Yun Meng." Fu Yufeng suddenly sighed quietly, leaned on the cushion behind him, and said to Xi Honglei with a tired look.
"The emperor is the Son of Heaven and the king of a country. He must bear much more than us."
"What you said is really nice. Emperor..." Fu Yufeng lengthened his voice, and then said with a helpless smile: "To put it bluntly, I just took the wrong path back then."
Mu Yunmeng is so free and easy now because he has found what he wants, which is the woman in front of him. And what about himself? What exactly does he want...?
Is it this great country? Or is it the vanity of being admired by thousands of people?
Fu Yufeng's eyes slowly became deep, and he watched the changes in Fu Yufeng's expression with tears in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he spoke again and said: "Your Majesty, no matter which path you take, a normal mind is the best.
What’s important is that God is fair. Whatever he takes away from us, he will definitely compensate us in other ways. If the emperor has not received compensation from God, it must be because the time has not come yet."
"Oh? Then you should tell me, what have you lost?"
"I'm the only one left in the Xi family, isn't it enough?" Xi Honglei's voice lowered slightly, and it was the same no matter in the past life or in this life. Perhaps, this was God's punishment for her, and then he felt pity for her.
, and sent Mu Yunmeng to her side.
Fu Yufeng looked at Xi Honglei thoughtfully for a while, and finally smiled in relief, stood up and said to Xi Honglei: "By the way, I forgot to tell you. Yunmeng may leave for a while in a few days, I have
I need his help with something important."
"We have received so many favors from the Emperor, so it is appropriate to help the Emperor." Xi Honglei responded politely to Fu Yufeng. Looking at Fu Yufeng, he nodded with a smile. Xi Honglei also walked out of the room and returned to Mu Yunmeng.
around.
On the way back, Xi Honglei heard from Mu Yunmeng's mouth that Fu Yufeng's real purpose was to find them this time.
Xixi Kingdom, Zizi Kingdom and Xuanxuan Kingdom are on the same continent. Although there are no other neighboring countries around, there has been news recently that other countries intend to close the distance with Xixi Kingdom. In other words
, that is, occupying and developing the wasteland on the edge of Xixi Kingdom, and being adjacent to Xixi Kingdom.
This move was considered by Fu Yufeng as the first step to start a war, but the country was relatively far away, and it was not easy to sneak in to find out the news, so he called Mu Yunmeng and wanted to
Let Mu Yunmeng help with this.
"When are you leaving? Take me with you." After Xi Honglei finished speaking to Mu Yunmeng, she looked at him with bright eyes. Although this matter sounded dangerous, it seemed to be very interesting.
"Go back and ask the two little ones at home if they are willing to let you go, and then come to me to discuss this matter." Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei with a doting look on her face, then glanced at Bai Moyue in the distance, and then
He added leisurely and said with an evil smile: "As for the conditions for asking me, you should know in your mind."
