"It's okay..." Concubine Lan smiled and nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Zhou Zhou must have suffered a lot of bumps and bumps in the car all the way back to the capital. Looking at you, you have lost a lot of weight."
Mu Tianxue smiled. This kind of intimacy really made her feel warm in her heart. She smiled lightly and said, "Tianxue didn't suffer much at all. It's just that the mother-in-law looked haggard. She must have been worried about Tianxue and the Sixth Prince."
I have paid a lot of attention, my concubine, you must take care of yourself."
Concubine Lan took Mu Tianxue's hand and patted the back of her hand twice as if she was pleased. Then she looked at Long Chenyi and said softly: "The winter snow has just passed and it's very cold outside. Come in with Concubine!"
"
After Concubine Lan finished speaking, she led Mu Tianxue and Long Chen towards the main hall.
After entering the main hall and sitting down, Long Chen also held Mu Tianxue's hand, looked at Concubine Lan and said calmly: "Concubine, I have some news to tell you."
"Oh! What news?" After hearing Long Chenyi's words, Concubine Lan's eyes fell on Mu Tianxue's slightly bulging belly, and she smiled slightly, knowing what news Long Chenyi said.
Then, her face flushed, becoming serious and pale. She looked straight at Mu Tianxue's belly, and her heart began to drum, wondering if the belly was abnormally big.
Her son had been with Mu Tianxue for less than five months, but her belly clearly looked like she was about five months pregnant. She was also a mother, so she could tell.
Could it be that the previous rumors were true? Mu Tianxue's chastity was really tarnished? If not, then the child in her belly...
"Concubine, why are you staring at Tianxue with such eyes?" Long Chen also frowned slightly and said: "The child in Tianxue's belly belongs to me, and there is no need for mother and concubine to be suspicious. As for the reason, I don't want to
explain."
The corners of Mu Tianxue's mouth twitched, and her face was a little embarrassed. Who would believe that this child is Long Chenyi? It has been less than half a year since she became Long Chenyi's concubine, but the child in her belly has been almost half a year old. She is just wearing ancient clothes.
The skirt is relatively large and cannot be seen at all unless you look closely.
Concubine Lan moved her eyes to Long Chenyi, with a trace of confusion on her beautiful face. However, seeing that her son spoke so firmly, she had no reason to be suspicious. After all, she knew his son very well.
.
"Tianxue, don't you blame me!" Concubine Lan said with a regretful tone. The way she looked at Mu Tianxue just now must have made Mu Tianxue feel embarrassed and sad.
Mu Tianxue smiled softly and said with a chuckle: "How could Tianxue blame the mother and concubine? It's just that this matter is really difficult to explain, but the mother and concubine must believe that the child in Tianxue's belly is indeed the sixth prince's."
"Concubine Mother made a mistake. Concubine Mother, I apologize to you." Concubine Lan said from the bottom of her heart. Since neither of them was willing to explain the reason, she had to ask. Ever since her son insisted on marrying Mu Tianxue, she had felt
Very strange.
Now that I think about it, my son and Mu Tianxue should have met before they chose the concubine. However, at that time, Mu Tianxue was already pregnant. In this way, the number of months of the child in her belly could also be determined.
After checking the number and thinking about it, she didn't have any doubts at all.
"Concubine Mother does not need to apologize to Tianxue. I believe everyone will become suspicious when they see Tianxue like this, but Tianxue has a clear conscience." Mu Tianxue said sincerely, and she did not blame Concubine Lan. As Long Chen
It is normal for Yi's mother-in-law to think that way.
After all, anyone who knows will suspect that she has long been mentally prepared. She doesn't care what others think or say, because those people are simply not enough to make her care.
Concubine Lan looked at Mu Tianxue, smiled, and nodded slightly. Thinking of her courage when she held Concubine Lian hostage, and her arrogance after being hit by an arrow, she admired her in her heart. She admired Mu Tianxue's ugly appearance.
, there is no trace of discrimination, and I don’t think she is ugly. She has her unique aura and temperament. This temperament is not available to others. It is something that those beautiful and flowery women can never exude. Undoubtedly, she is special
of.
Murong Xuan rode his horse, facing the wind and snow, and rushed to the capital all night. When he arrived at the capital, it was already past midnight (9 to 11 o'clock), and two hours had passed since Mu Tianxue and Long Chen also entered the palace.
He rode his horse directly to the palace gate. After dismounting, he saw the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion stopped in front of the palace gate. Lan Yi and Lin Yue'er were sitting on the carriage.
When Lan Yi and Lin Yue'er saw Murong Xuan, they looked at each other in unison, showing a hint of confusion. They were obviously a little surprised by Murong Xuan's appearance. They stepped forward and greeted respectfully: "Master Murong Shaozhuang."
Murong Xuan nodded, looked inside the palace door, and asked in an urgent tone: "Your master hasn't come out yet, how long have you been in the palace?"
"I haven't come out yet. I've been in the palace for two hours." Lan Yi's tone was slightly uneasy. She knew very well what kind of situation the master would encounter when he came to thank him. She was also very worried. She wanted to follow him into the palace, but she
He couldn't enter the palace without a sword, so he had to wait at the palace gate with Lin Yue'er.
"It's been two hours..." Murong Xuan's beautiful brows were furrowed, with a look of worry on his satisfied face. He turned to look deep into the palace gate and asked, "When did you return to the capital?"
"Yesterday when Shen Shi arrived in the capital, Master Murong Shaozhuang was so nervous. What happened?" Lan Yi asked, not knowing why, seeing Murong Xuan's handsome face full of worry and nervousness.
"Yesterday Shenshi...!" After hearing this, Murong Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and gradually let go of the worries in her heart. If she had returned to the capital yesterday, today would be her return to the capital and her first visit to the palace, so she would be fine.
No matter how much the emperor wanted to get rid of Mu Tianxue quickly, he would not kill Mu Tianxue as soon as she returned to the palace. There is no doubt about this.
"Master Murong, are you... are you okay? You don't look very good." Lan Yi saw that Mu Xuanrong's face was pale and bloodless, and there was a trace of worry in his tone.
"It's okay..." Murong Xuan raised his slightly pale lips and showed a relaxed smile. It snowed heavily yesterday, and it was extremely cold at night. He braved the biting cold wind and heavy snow in the sky and rushed to the capital overnight.
If it weren't for the internal protection, he wouldn't have dared to say "it's okay".
Mu Tianxue and Long Chenyi chatted with Concubine Lan for half an hour before leaving Huaqing Palace. During this period, they talked about how to have a baby and some precautions. Not far after they left Huaqing Palace, there was a palace maid.
When he came to the two of them, he knelt down and said respectfully: "This slave is here to see the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Imperial Concubine. This slave is the maid next to Concubine Xian. She is here to convey a message to the Sixth Concubine. Tomorrow, there will be a ceremony in the Plum Garden starting from Chen hour.
It’s a plum blossom appreciation party, and the six imperial concubines are specially invited to attend.”
"Plum Blossom Appreciation Conference?" Mu Tianxue raised her eyebrows and specially invited her to come to appreciate the plum blossoms. In other words, she had to come. For such conferences, the female relatives of the officials and officials in the court were invited.
They came to appreciate plum blossoms and recite poems. Concubine Xian knew that she had never even read a book, but she still asked her to participate. Was this because she wanted to see her make a fool of herself? If she made a fool of herself, Concubine Xian's face would probably be dull too!
