The setting sun hangs in the sky, and the sky is filled with red clouds.
The light in the mountains and forests is getting dimmer.
Everyone was standing outside the tent, either far or near. It was quite quiet at first, but after waiting for two hours, it was getting dark. Finally, someone couldn't hold it back anymore and began to whisper.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince blocked an arrow for the Emperor and hit him in the chest. I don't know if he can save this life!"
"Speaking of it, what happened today is really frightening. Fortunately, the seventh prince reacted quickly, otherwise, the emperor would be lying in the tent at this time."
To put it bluntly, the Seventh Prince is still young, so he may be able to withstand it. If it were Emperor Jianwen who was in his forties and his body was not as good as before, he might have died on the spot and returned to the west...
No one dared to say such treacherous words, they only exchanged knowing glances and quickly changed the subject.
"The good sixth princess suddenly turned into the seventh prince. How strange and strange!"
"Isn't that right? There was no news at all before, and suddenly he became a different person."
"Shhh! Don't talk too much about the affairs of the Tian family. I think the emperor will be happy to have one more prince."
This is true.
These days, ordinary people's families also look forward to the prosperity of their children. The royal family is no exception.
Who cares about having too many sons?
"Look at this posture, the Seventh Prince hasn't woken up yet!"
"Even if you wake up, you should never move around with such a serious injury. In my opinion, this spring hunt will be cancelled..."
The officials tried to figure out what Emperor Jianwen was thinking, and they guessed it quite accurately.
Soon, Eunuch Lu passed on Emperor Jianwen's oral edict.
The seventh prince was seriously injured and could not move. He had to stay in a tent to recover for several days. The spring hunt was canceled immediately. Everyone went down the mountain and returned to the palace to stay and wait.
…
Of course, not everyone went down the mountain and returned to the palace.
Several princes were left behind.
The concubines also wanted to stay, but Emperor Jianwen did not give this order, so they had to tell their sons to be careful in their words and deeds, and not to make Emperor Jianwen unhappy by talking nonsense at this time.
Surprisingly, Xie Mingxi also received the oral instruction.
Eunuch Lu personally came to Xie Mingxi and said politely: "The emperor has decreed that Miss Xie please stay with her to take care of His Highness the Seventh Prince."
All the girls subconsciously looked at Xie Mingxi.
For half a day, Xie Mingxi never opened her mouth to speak.
The great relationship between Xie Mingxi and the "Sixth Princess" was obvious to all the girls. The "Sixth Princess" suddenly turned into the "Seventh Prince", and everyone was shocked.
Come to think of it, the person who was most shocked was none other than Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi has never been a happy person. In the past half day, her face was as dark as water and her eyes were focused. The aura exuding from her whole body was indescribable...
Even Lin Weiwei, her best friend, didn't dare to open her mouth to talk to her.
After Eunuch Lu finished his oral speech, he waited for a moment before Xie Mingxi responded: "I will obey the emperor's will."
The girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Eunuch Lu couldn't help but think that Miss Xie San had been silent just now, maybe she wanted to resist the decree...
A good girl, I have slept with His Highness the Seventh Prince for three years, and even slept on the same bed these two days. Now that I know the true identity of the Seventh Prince, I must be ashamed and happy!
If it hadn't been for the appearance of the Seventh Prince, maybe Miss Xie San would have had the opportunity to enter the palace and become a concubine. Now, don't think too much about anything. Just wait peacefully for the Tian family to issue an order to marry the Seventh Prince!
Thinking of this, Eunuch Lu was even more polite to Xie Mingxi in front of him: "Please Miss Xie, please accompany me to meet the Emperor and the Queen."
Xie Mingxi nodded: "Thank you, Eunuch Lu."
…
After Xie Mingxi left, Lin Weiwei and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was really afraid that Sister Xie would not obey the order." Yin Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice.
Xiao Yuhan also sighed softly: "Yes! I don't seem to be happy when I look at Sister Xie."
Fang Ruomeng lowered her voice: "Don't say thank you sister, even the few of us have been feeling uncomfortable for the past half day. It feels strange to have been deceived by a classmate for three years."
Li Xiangru said calmly: "I was deceived for three years, and now I am the seventh prince's concubine. I think this is Xie Mingxi's destiny."
Girls: "..."
Lin Weiwei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Xiangru: "Don't judge other people's belly by your own heart!"
Li Xiangru glanced back with a smile but not a smile: "You are not Xie Mingxi, how can you know Xie Mingxi's true thoughts? You think she is upset and unhappy, maybe she is feeling complacent in her heart."
Lin Weiwei raised her eyebrows and smiled sarcastically: "Although I am not Sister Xie, I know that Sister Xie is definitely not a person who is greedy for wealth. You keep saying this, isn't it because your eyes are so hot that Sister Xie can leave you with resentment and dissatisfaction in your heart?"
Li Xiangru's expression suddenly changed when he was poked in a painful spot: "You..."
Lin snorted slightly, without even looking at Li Xiangru, he picked up Fang Ruomeng and left.
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't stand Li Xiangru's behavior and left together.
Only Xiao Yuhan and Li Xiangru had a good relationship and left a few words of comfort: "We are all classmates, why bother quarreling over such a trivial matter."
"Thank you sister for having this opportunity. We should also be happy for her."
He lowered his voice and smiled quietly: "Maybe you will become sisters-in-law in the future. We will have a long time together."
Li Xiangru's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and her mood suddenly improved. She lightly spat at Xiao Yuhan: "It's not a matter of having a shadow. Why are you chewing your tongue?"
Xiao Yuhan's heart flashed with the gentle and handsome face of the third prince, and a sweetness filled his heart. He thought to himself, in fact, I also want to be a sister-in-law with Sister Xie!
…
Xie Mingxi was led outside the tent by Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu went in first to recover. After a while, he came out again and said, "Please come in, Miss Xie."
Xie Mingxi agreed softly and stepped into the tent.
From the outside, the tent looks surprisingly big, but now that you're inside, it's even more spacious.
On the large temporary bed, a young man lay quietly. His whole body was covered tightly with quilts. He was obviously not awake yet, and he didn't react at all to the sound of footsteps.
Emperor Jianwen and Queen Yu each sat on chairs beside the bed.
The three princes, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, each stood beside the emperor and empress.
There were also two imperial doctors and more than ten maids in the tent.
Xie Mingxi did not look around, nor was she timid or frightened. She stepped forward steadily and saluted: "I have met the emperor, and I have met the empress."
Emperor Jianwen glanced across Xie Mingxi's beautiful face, feeling a little regretful and angry.
She originally thought she was the beauty in the palm of her hand, but unexpectedly, she became a prospective daughter-in-law in the blink of an eye... The seventh prince pretended to be the sixth princess. For the past three years, he and Xie Mingxi were inseparable and slept together at the same time. Now that Sheng Hong's identity has been exposed, he must be "responsible".
Even the emperor has no shame in competing with his own son for his wife.
Fortunately, he has not issued the imperial edict, otherwise, wouldn’t he become a joke to everyone in the world now? (To be continued)
