She stood in the small courtyard space, listening quietly with her ears erect, trying to catch Xuan Jinmo's voice in the air. Even if it was just a lingering sound, she could tell whether he was angry with her.
, will you still want her?
When she first saw him in Xiluan Pavilion, she decided that for her whole life, she would do anything for him, even if she couldn't see the light of day in her life, as long as he wanted it, she would definitely give it to him.
After a long time, except for some vague noises in front, Xuan Jinmo's voice was not heard. The slave who went out to inquire about the news only came back with explanations.
"It's Mr. Hua from Tianyin Pavilion. He came here specially to pick up Mrs. Tong to listen to music. He said that there was a fire in Tianyin Pavilion last night. Mrs. Tong, who was supposed to go over to listen to music, could not go because she was feeling unwell. She had a fire last night. He
Tonight, we specially held a banquet to invite the prince and princess to calm down and come to pick up Mrs. Tong."
"Didn't he mention me?" Mingyue asked softly, sighing slightly.
"Master Hua didn't say anything." The servant hesitated and said softly, "I'm probably worried that you are pregnant and afraid that-"
After saying that, he stopped again. Xuan Jinyan was also pregnant. In the final analysis, it was because the prince's wife, Tong Xiaoye, was here. No matter how stupid Mr. Hua was, he would not ask the prince's concubine to come with him.
Mingyue didn't care that he was not Mr. Hua in her mouth.
The slave said softly: "It's getting late, what do you want to eat? Since morning, you have eaten very little. Even if you have no appetite anymore, you have to eat for the sake of the little master in your belly."
Mingyue was stunned and looked at her slave.
The slave girl sighed. She actually didn't like Mingyue either. A woman from Xiluan Pavilion could become Prince Xuan's concubine, and she would be happy! What kind of place is Xiluan Pavilion? To put it bluntly, it's a brothel for men to play.
.However, no matter how difficult it is, she is still the master now. For her own sake, she has to think more carefully about Mingyue in everything.
"Don't be too sad. If nothing else, you are pregnant now. If you try to give birth to a young master, even if you don't have much glory, you can still be as valuable as the son. The prince will not treat your own flesh and blood badly. If you give birth to a young master,
Miss, I can also ensure that you live comfortably in the house." The servant said earnestly, "It is better than being like us, serving people all your life. You are climbing a high branch, and you are a good blessing in your previous life. As for your status,
, after all, the princess comes from a well-known family, and she is married to the prince, so she really can’t care less.”
Mingyue didn't say a word, but the expression on her face fluctuated slightly.
In Tianyin Pavilion, Xuan Jinmo, Tong Xiaoye, Xuan Jinyan and Tianqi were sitting at the table, enjoying the sound of several women playing music and occasionally whispering a few words.
Xuan Jinmo's complexion has returned to normal, and there is no sign of injury. Tianqi didn't ask too much. Although his subordinates said that there were blood stains where they drank, they guessed that Xuan Jinmo or Tong Xiaoye might have been injured.
, this shows that the fire last night was by no means unintentional, but man-made.
But given Xuan Jinmo's status and behavior, if he doesn't want to care about it, there must be a reason why he doesn't want to be known to outsiders. If he doesn't tell, Tianqi knows that asking is in vain.
Moreover, based on the personal relationship between Xuan Jinmo and Dr. Xu, even if he or Tong Xiaoye were injured, it would not matter at all.
A confidant came in from outside and whispered a few words in Xuan Jinmo's ear. Xuan Jinmo's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, he nodded, and motioned for the confidant to step aside.
"I have something to go back to the house. You guys can play for now. Once the matter is settled, I will rush back immediately." Xuan Jinmo said calmly, "Tianqi, take good care of Jinyan and Xiaoye."
"Easy to say." Tianqi readily agreed, "Drinking and listening to music alone with two stunning beauties is one of the great pleasures in life, why not do it. Is there an emergency at home? Do you need my help?"
The last two sentences were purely teasing. Xuan Jinmo smiled slightly and said lightly: "Ming Yue said that she suddenly felt uncomfortable. The slave who was serving her was frightened. She knew I was here and came to tell me. I will go back and have a look."
Be back soon."
"Haha——" Tianqi laughed, not knowing what to say. He secretly blamed himself for talking too much. In front of Tong Xiaoye, he said these two words too much, which led to Mingyue's pregnancy. He knew that Mingyue was pregnant.
The child has nothing to do with Xuan Jinmo, but Tong Xiaoye doesn't know.
She must feel uncomfortable.
Xuan Jinyan watched her brother leave, glanced at Tong Xiaoye casually, and said softly: "Xiaoye, why don't you and your brother have a child?"
Tong Xiaoye was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
She just officially became Xuan Jinmo's wife last night. Even if she wants a child, it depends on God's will, right? The entanglement last night suddenly came to mind, and Tong Xiaoye's face turned red, and she lowered her head, somewhat trying to hide it.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
Tian Qi thought that Tong Xiaoye lowered her head because she was feeling sad, and immediately said with a smile: "She is just a woman who got an advantage. With such a background and status, Miss Tong does not need to mind. I promise that she will also
It's just that - well, to put it bluntly, she really has nothing to do with Xuan Jinmo."
Xuan Jinyan was slightly stunned, a little lost in thought, and said slowly: "But she is pregnant with my brother, who is of the Xuan family's blood. My mother was just a concubine back then, and now my brother is no worse than anyone else."
Tianqi smiled awkwardly. In this matter, Xuan Jinyan was really not very sensitive. He actually had no intention of mocking Mingyue's status as a concubine. He just wanted to make Tong Xiaoye believe that Xuan Jinmo had no regard for Mingyue at all.
No feelings, just use.
Tong Xiaoye did not say anything, but vaguely felt that although Xuan Jinyan had lost a memory and no longer remembered her old relationship with Feng Dazhu, and was content with her identity as Tong Huaan's wife, she still had a subconscious hostility and rejection towards the Tong family.
In fact, she obviously felt that Xuan Jinyan was more polite than affectionate when facing her.
Returning to the palace, I got off the carriage and went to the room where Mingyue lived. Mingyue was lying on the bed with a pale face, her forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat, and her lips were slightly pale.
"Why is this happening?" Xuan Jinmo frowned, looked at Mingyue, and asked a little coldly, "You know you are pregnant, can't you be more careful? Have you asked the doctor at home to see it?
"
Mingyue's tears quickly flowed out, and she said in a soft voice: "It's Mingyue's fault. When Mingyue heard the sound of a carriage in the courtyard, she thought it was the prince who was back. She was overjoyed and ran out in a hurry. Unexpectedly, she accidentally fell
When he fell to the ground, I asked the doctor at home to take a look at him and told him that he would be fine if he took a good rest."
Xuan Jin nodded silently and said calmly: "Come here, drag down the slave who is serving Mingyue. He actually made his master fall. What's the use of keeping him?"
