When Concubine Jing regained her composure, she said, "Let the princess come in quickly. Don't keep her waiting." Although she didn't know why Murong Xi suddenly appeared in Feng Wu Hall, she knew that this princess was His Majesty's favorite.
The princess. Even if she was envious and jealous of her at the beginning, times have changed now.
"Yes." Ning'er turned around and went out, then came to the palace gate in person.
"Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Princess, our empress has asked a servant to pick you up." Ning'er said very respectfully.
"Thank you so much, girl." After saying this, Murong Xi followed Ning'er and walked inside.
Ning'er did not put 'Murong Xi' directly in the main hall, but took 'Murong Xi' directly to the inner room. Concubine Jing had just gotten pregnant and was a little lazy. Therefore, it was just right to take her to the inner room.
After Murong Xi was brought to the inner room by Ning'er, she walked forward slowly. When she saw Concubine Jing standing there to greet her, she smiled slowly and said: "Concubine Jing is pregnant, so don't be polite.
It's better to sit on the soft floor."
"Princess, sit down too." Concubine Jing said gently.
She turned her head and looked at Ning'er who was about to go out to make tea and said, "Ning'er, remember to bring some cakes."
"Yes, empress." Ning'er responded respectfully and walked out.
"I heard that the princess was in danger when she left the capital. Your Majesty is very worried about your safety. Fortunately, you are finally back." Concubine Jing said in a pleasant tone.
"Well, I am also lucky, otherwise I would have sunk to the bottom of the river long ago." Murong Xi said calmly.
Concubine Jing was beating a drum in her heart. The temperament of this 'Murong Xi' seemed to have changed. Even her preferences were different from before. The walking stick on her head was one of her own. Although she had no contact with Murong Xi,
There are many, but she still knows a lot about Murong Xi's dress. The clothes are still the same as before, mostly white. But this step is particularly conspicuous against the white clothes. This is not Murong Xi's style. If
Before, Murong Xi was dressed in white and might have had a peach wood hairpin on her head. However, the magnolia hairpin that Murong Xi wore on her head that day was indeed very beautiful. So, what was Murong Xi's purpose? Otherwise, it was for no reason.
It was already very strange to come to Fengwu Hall, and to dress up in such a strange way. This seemed to make no sense, and she didn't know where to start.
"Princess has always been auspicious, so she is naturally blessed by her ancestors." Concubine Jing said politely.
Murong Xi changed the subject. She didn't want to be asked about Yunzhou's fall into the water. After all, she was not the one who actually fell into the water, and she had no experience of what it was like after falling into the water.
"By the way, when I left the palace, Concubine Jing was just a maid beside His Majesty. I didn't expect that when I came back, I heard that you had become my father's concubine. Before I had time to congratulate you, I heard that you had another child.
I'm pregnant. I brought some gifts. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I just came to see you." Murong Xi said with a smile.
In fact, the words of 'Murong Xi' were very harsh, and he clearly told Concubine Jing that she had seduced His Majesty to gain His Majesty's favor.
"I didn't expect to get pregnant so soon, and now I still think I might be dreaming." Concubine Jing said with a smile.
"So, Concubine Jing is the one who is blessed by her ancestors." Murong Xi said with the same expression.
At this time, Ning'er brought tea and some cakes and placed them beside Murong Xi and Concubine Jing, and then withdrew.
"By the way, Madam, I have just returned to the palace. Yesterday Yan'er went to my Ningxi Palace. She told me a lot about things in the palace. I heard that during the banquet in the palace, my father was actually obsessed with things.
Is Lan Zixian right that he has fallen in love with the second young lady of the Lan family?" 'Murong Xi' asked with doubts.
"How could Your Majesty be so obsessed? Is Yan'er still blaming her father for reprimanding her because of me? Miss Lan seemed to be poisoned at the time, and she said something that she shouldn't have said. His Majesty only wanted to save her.
, so she was included in the harem." Concubine Jing explained slowly.
"Ah, Yan'er must have not attended the palace banquet that day and heard someone else talking to her. So, the things involved may not be clear. So what exactly happened?" Murong Xi asked very curiously.
Concubine Jing said patiently: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but His Majesty forgave her and then brought her into the palace and named her Lan Concubine." She didn't want to say more about Lan Concubine because she didn't believe it. Murong Xi
Now that you know so much, do you know what happened to Lan Bin that day? I don't know why, the more I look at Murong Xi in front of me, the more unpleasant I feel. It is different from the feeling when I saw Murong Xi before. If, she
The Murong Xi I knew before was like this. I believe she would not be so jealous or envious. Because although Murong Xi is not good-looking, she exudes a noble temperament that cannot be erased. But this Murong Xi in front of her,
It's still so noble, but it's unspeakably uncomfortable.
Murong Xi smiled, knowing that Concubine Jing might not want to say more. So she said: "Concubine Jing, you can raise the baby with peace of mind. I still have some matters in Ningxi Palace. I will accompany you next time."
After Murong Xi got up, he left the Feng Wu Hall.
Concubine Jing's heart finally dropped. She thought Murong Xi would look down upon her when he came in. But she didn't expect to see this side of Murong Xi. Is this the same Murong Xi she met in Xuzhou?
Just after Murong Xi returned to the palace, he saw four maids and an aunt waiting at the entrance of the palace. Among them, two maids were holding plates in their hands, which seemed to be newly made clothes. It must have been what Eunuch Shun said yesterday.
It was probably prepared to attend the palace banquet. When the aunt and the four palace maids saw Murong Xi, they greeted: "See you, Your Royal Highness."
"Get back on your feet." After Murong Xi said that, he walked in. The aunt stood up and waved to the four palace maids to follow behind her.
Arriving at the main hall, my aunt said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Royal Embroidery Room has prepared two sets of clothes for you before. Because Your Majesty specially ordered you to wear them for the palace banquet, the embroidery girls made some changes to the details of the clothes day and night.
.You can take a look first. If you are not satisfied, there are still two days left for the palace banquet, so I believe it’s not too late.”
"Well, thank you, auntie." Murong Xi nodded, and then let Qingzhu take over the clothes.
After Qingzhu took the clothes, he opened it for Murong Xi to see. As soon as he opened it, Murong Xi was a little disappointed. It turned out that this piece of clothes was also white. Murong Xi asked Qingzhu to open another one and take a look. After opening it,
Look, it's actually lavender. In comparison, the lavender clothes are better, but they are too plain and elegant.
Soon, Murong Xi recovered, and then said: "Well, I am very satisfied with these two pieces of clothing. However, I have a small suggestion. I wonder if aunt can listen to it?"
"Princess, please speak." My aunt said respectfully.
"Next time when we rush to make new clothes, how about I provide the patterns myself?" Murong Xi said slightly.
The aunt nodded, with a forced smile on her lips, and then said: "Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"Okay, you go down first." After Murong Xi waved his hand, he asked his aunt and others to leave Ningxi Hall first.
After her aunt left, Murong Xi said to Qingzhu: "Okay, put these two clothes away."
bring it on."
Qingzhu clearly felt that Murong Xi didn't like these two clothes very much, so he asked: "Put them away? Your Highness, don't you plan to wear them?"
"Why would you wear such simple and elegant clothes when attending a palace banquet? If it's a normal day, that's fine, but for a palace banquet, forget it. You put it away first, and then take the clothes out of the closet and take a look at them." Murong Xi said with a frown.
.
"Yes." Qingzhu glanced at Murong Xi with disdain, then took two pieces of clothes into the house, and then took out the clothes in the cabinet.
The clothes in the cabinet were all new, with almost no upper body. When Murong Xi left the palace, she also took the white and purple ice silk clothes with her. Therefore, the rest were things she did not wear on weekdays.
of.
Qingzhu even took out the red dress that the imperial concubine of the Yuan Dynasty had given Murong Xi at the hairpin ceremony.
Unexpectedly, Murong Xi looked through it for a long time and fell in love with the fiery red dress.
Her eyes lit up and she said: "On the day of the palace banquet, I will wear this."
This dress is well designed and will look beautiful on you. Moreover, it does not look enchanting, but gives people a noble feeling.
This time Qingzhu frowned, and then said: "Your Highness Princess, don't forget, you are used to wearing elegant and refreshing clothes on weekdays. Wouldn't it look too ostentatious to suddenly wear this red dress?" Qingzhu said.
It was to remind Murong Xi not to be too ostentatious, and the red clothes were something Murong Xi had never worn before.
"You also said that the palace wears too plain and elegant clothes on weekdays, and this red dress seems to be prepared for the palace banquet. Why can't I wear it? Moreover, when I look at it, this red dress is different from the hair on my head.
This footwear is a perfect match. I am only wearing it this time, so there will be no problem." Murong Xi smiled slightly, and then said softly.
"Will Master agree?" Qingzhu murmured.
"Qingzhu, are you threatening me with your master?" Murong Xi's voice suddenly became sharp, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qingzhu also changed.
Qingzhu had no choice but to say: "Of course not, the master said that Mei Lan and I should obey your orders. Just wear it as you say."
"Well, I know that you are dissatisfied. However, I just want to be amazing at the palace banquet. Of course, it is also for the good of the master. Look at the clothes before, they are either white or light blue. I
It's really uncomfortable for me to wear it." Murong Xi said slowly.
On the way back, the maid behind my aunt pursed her lips and said: "Auntie, do you think the princess is very strange today? These two clothes are obviously the pattern she chose. How come she can't remember it?"
She could see that the princess looked very dissatisfied with the clothes, but she did not reprimand her aunt explicitly. However, the last words she said to her aunt were very strange. She was not the one who asked Miss Mo'er to deliver them in person last time.
Did they ask them to embroider the patterns? They were also specifically told not to be too fancy, as the princess wouldn’t like it.
"Jixiang, you talk too much. Maybe the princess has forgotten it after a long time. Next time we want to buy new clothes for the princess, we can just come over in person." The aunt immediately told Jixiang to shut up. There were many people in the palace talking.
, if anyone listened to it, they would definitely think that they were complaining and dissatisfied again.
"Yes." Jixiang was obedient and immediately stopped talking.
In fact, the aunt's doubts are the same as Ji Xiang's. It's just that she has been in the palace for many years and knows what to say and what not to say. They will do whatever the master says. If you have any questions, you should not question them. Listen.
