It is said that raising a child is one hundred years old, and worrying about ninety-nine years.
Mrs. Pei is such a mother. Even if her daughter becomes a queen, she is still worried, "...you are alone in the palace. Although the queen mother is gone, the palace is a place that eats people. Only your dependents can last for a long time, what if the emperor treats you... then what should you do?"
Ye Zhen paused in her heart, she knew that Mrs. Pei would not say these words for no reason, she must have heard some rumors, "Mother, are there rumors about me outside?"
"No." Pei said hurriedly, her expression unnatural, "I'm just talking."
Why did you say this suddenly! Ye Zhen saw that she wanted to cover up, there must be something going on outside, otherwise Mrs. Pei would not have said these words, "Mother, I just returned to the palace, and many things have to start again, so I can't grasp the outside news all at once. , if even you keep it from me, who else can I count on to help me in the future?"
Mrs. Pei looked at her distressedly, "There are just some nonsense outside, don't pay attention to it at all, so as not to dirty your ears."
Oh, so it is true that someone is spreading gossip about her outside.
Ye Zhen raised her eyes to look at Hong Ying, she also looked at a daze, it seemed that someone didn't want to spread the word into the palace, so even the people around her didn't know.
"What are you talking about me?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile, "Isn't it that I'm jealous and bullying the emperor to prevent him from favoring other women, or... that the child in my belly has an unknown origin."
Pei almost jumped up, and hurriedly covered her mouth, "You're talking nonsense!"
Ye Zhen pulled Pei's hand away, and she knew in her heart that she had a reputation of being jealous long ago. When she was drafting girls last year, Murong Zhan didn't have any of them canonized, and she didn't choose a few for herself. People secretly scolded her, saying that she had confused the emperor and bullied him to prevent him from getting close to other women. She didn't mind others scolding her like that, anyway, she wouldn't let her go anyway, and Mo Rongzhan's person and heart were hers. Yes, no one else would want to rob her. Now they have found that the infamy of being jealous can't hurt her, so they are targeting her belly.
These people are really vicious.
She was taken away by Qi Ruoshui when she was just pregnant. These people are now spreading rumors that her child's origin is unknown. This is to drive away Mo Rongzhan's feelings for her and to attack her child. Their selfish desires, they want to punish her to death.
No wonder Murong Zhan said to mention two people to protect her today. He already knew that someone outside wanted to hurt her with vicious words.
Ye Zhen was trembling with anger, with the rage of wanting to crush those people to ashes.
Seeing her daughter like this, Pei's heart ached so much that she burst into tears, and held her tightly in her arms, "I won't tell you what I've told you, but you just want to listen. What's the point of caring about such things? It's all about others." I'm jealous of you, I can't see that you and the emperor love each other, if you get angry, it will make them succeed."
"Yes..." Ye Zhen seemed to be trying her best to utter a single word, she calmed down slowly, her face turned pale, "If I get angry at them, then they will get their way, I'm not angry, I'm not angry. "
Mrs. Pei caressed her back, and did not let go until Ye Zhen stopped trembling, "The people who said these words are just those female relatives, they dare not say it outside, talk about it in private, if it is not for acquaintances It was revealed to me, but I didn’t hear it either.”
"It's enough to discuss in private." Ye Zhen said coldly, discussing in private will cause disaster sooner or later, they want to spread it to Mo Rongzhan's ears and make her a stain on the royal family. It is easy to abandon a woman, as long as there is a fresh color, let alone her reputation for embarrassing the royal family.
Pei said, "The emperor won't believe them."
Ye Zhen knew that Mo Rongzhan wouldn't believe it, otherwise she wouldn't have said those things to her today, "Mother, I know about this, so don't be annoyed, let alone ask who is passing it on, don't startle the snake." .”
"I know, I won't go out during this time, so as not to be annoyed by asking questions." Pei said.
"Yeah." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, she was thinking about asking someone to investigate, but since Mo Rongzhan knew about it, he probably wouldn't sit idly by, if she intervened, would it ruin his business? ? Just wait until he comes and ask again.
Mrs. Pei smiled and talked about Lu Xiangzhi's marriage, "...Because of your affairs, we didn't have the heart to do this before, but now that you're back, it's just a matter of watching out for big brother. If you don't settle on his marriage, I should Sad gray hair."
Ye Zhen laughed softly when she heard the words, thinking about Lu Xiangzhi's age, it is indeed the age to get married, "Then I will inquire, if there is a suitable one, I will settle it for the elder brother."
"Actually... I have my eyes on a girl, but I don't know if she is willing or not." Pei said in a low voice, "She is the eldest daughter of Mr. Su, the household servant. She is fifteen years old. I met her at the Huguo Temple that time. At first glance, she looks Xiaojiabiyu, well-behaved, and she looks attractive."
"The servant of the household department?" Ye Zhen wrote it down, "I will inquire about it when the time comes, the most important thing is that my elder brother likes it."
Pei nodded, "Naturally, he will definitely like it."
The mother and daughter kept talking, and it was not until it was almost dark that Mrs. Pei realized that the time had passed so quickly, "I'm leaving the palace, wait two days before handing in the sign, you... relax , don’t let yourself be wronged.”
"Mother, I will be fine." Ye Zhen said with a smile, and personally sent Mrs. Pei outside the palace gate.
Ye Zhen watched Pei's figure gradually go away, the smile on her face faded, "Go and see where the emperor is."
She turned around and went back to the palace, and after a while, Murong Zhan came back.
"Madam Lu has gone back?" Mo Rongzhan asked as he walked in.
Ye Zhen hummed lightly, walked over and got into his arms, hugging his strong narrow waist tightly.
Murong Zhan was so hugged by her that he couldn't move, he put his arms around her and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I just can't leave my side, just for a while."
"I just want to hug you." She just wanted to occupy him, and no ghosts or monsters would try to snatch him away.
Sensing that she was in a different mood, Murong Zhan picked her up and walked to the big kang by the window, "Tell me, what happened?"
Ye Zhen leaned against his warm and generous chest, listening to his soft voice, the violent evil fire in her heart was extinguished, no matter what the outside said about her, as long as he was still here.
"Give me Wu Chong and Xue Lin again." Ye Zhen whispered.
