Ye Zhen stood up and smiled at him, "The emperor is back so soon?"
Murong Zhan heard the alienation in her tone, and felt a little flustered, he stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her pink lips, "No matter what Qian Xue told you, don't believe it."
"How do you know what she will say to me?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile, she hasn't told him yet, what is he worried about
"If you didn't say something that made you unhappy, would you be so estranged from me?" Mo Rongzhan sighed in his heart. He always wanted to eliminate the knot in her heart, but he didn't dare to touch the wound in her heart. Mistaking Lu Shuang'er for her and causing her to be victimized by Lu Lingzhi, this knot has always been hidden in her heart, which he can't touch and can't solve for the time being. He doesn't want to add to her misunderstanding of him.
Ye Zhen actually didn't feel any difference in her attitude. If she hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have even realized that she wanted to protect herself unconsciously, as if she could protect herself by alienating him like this.
It turned out that she would choose the way to protect herself unconsciously.
"She didn't actually say anything." Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "She just said that she served you before."
Murong Zhan said, "She did serve me before. King Ke saw that all the maids around me were bribed, so he asked her to take care of me. I told you about this."
So she won't be unhappy because of this.
Ye Zhen glanced at him, "Why did you leave her in the palace? Is it because of the past?"
"I didn't kill her because I thought she had helped me, but I kept her in the palace for another matter." Murong Zhan said in a low voice, "It's just that the matter has not been determined, so I didn't Tell you."
"Isn't it because she used to be your apprentice maid, so you plan to keep her by your side and continue to serve you?" Ye Zhen curled her lips, knowing that as a prince, he would definitely have an instructor maid, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart. Comfortable, especially since he still treats Qianxue so differently.
Mo Rongzhan raised his brows, "Teaching the court ladies?"
Ye Zhen glanced at her and nodded indifferently.
"It is true that every prince will have a probationary maid. Ye Yisong arranged the probationary maid for me in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time. I didn't want someone by my side who would betray me at any time, so King Ke gave Qianxue to me, but..." Mo Rong Zhan looked down at her jealous look, with a smile in his eyes.
"But what?" Ye Zhen's tone was a little anxious.
Murongzhan chuckled softly, "But I didn't ask her to wait on her. I just dealt with those aunts who taught me in the same room, and I never touched her at all."
Ye Zhen was stunned, "What?"
"Although I was not blind at that time, I was not willing to touch any woman." Mo Rongzhan smiled lightly, lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, "The only thing I am happy with is the girl I met in the grove. little girl."
Even after he made Lu Shuang'er his concubine, he thought she was Ye Zhen.
This is the biggest mistake of his life.
Ye Zhen finally knew that she was being used by Qianxue, and she was deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between her and Mo Rongzhan, "I can't blame my misunderstanding, you deliberately hid it from me."
Murong Zhan chuckled softly, "There are some things that I don't want to let you know before the truth is revealed, so that you won't think too much after you know it. Yaoyao, I won't make you sad anymore."
She really wanted to know what he wanted to investigate when he imprisoned Qian Xue in the palace, but since he said that there was no result yet, then she would not ask, and he would always tell her in the future.
"I'm being stingy." Ye Zhen put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest.
Murongzhan lowered his head and kissed her lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you are indifferent, I will be worried."
Ye Zhen responded to his kiss obediently, holding onto his arm with both hands, he didn't let her go until her breathing became unsteady.
"I... I still have nothing to say." Ye Zhen shouted anxiously after being picked up by him.
Mo Rongzhan's breathing was a bit rough, and he put her on the soft couch, "What else do you want to say? I was not favored in the palace before, and there are not many court ladies who want to get close to me..."
Ye Zhen tapped his shoulder lightly, "Who wants to ask you this."
"Okay, then tell me." Murong Zhan chuckled softly.
"I contradicted the Queen Mother today, and the Queen Mother is going to Chengde Mountain Villa to recuperate tomorrow." Ye Zhen told Mo Rongzhan what happened in the Compassion Palace in detail today, "...I'm afraid the Queen Mother hates me even more. "
Mo Rongzhan rubbed his brows and sighed, "It's fine for the Queen Mother to go to Chengde Mountain Villa. She's thinking about Ah Yi, so she won't bother you."
Ye Zhen smiled bitterly, "I never thought that my relationship with the Queen Mother would become what it is today."
"The world is unpredictable." Mo Rongzhan patted her on the back, "I have been thought too much, and it is only good for her to let the Queen Mother recuperate in Chengde Mountain Villa."
"Tomorrow you go to personally send the Queen Mother out of the palace, she must be happy to see you, she must not want to see me." Ye Zhen said.
"good."
The next day, after Mo Rongzhan came down to court, he personally sent the queen mother out of the palace. The queen mother still resented him for indulging the little prince to go out with the army, and she didn't want to see him at all. But yesterday, she heard that there was a maid in the palace who used to serve the emperor. I couldn't help but want to say something to the emperor.
"The Ai family is going to Chengde to recuperate, and I don't know when they will come back. Your Majesty, the Ai family still has a few words to tell you." The queen mother looked at Mo Rongzhan and said lightly.
Mo Rongzhan cupped his hands, "Mother, please tell me."
"The queen has been in the palace for some time, and there is still no news of her pregnancy. You are not willing to favor other women. Even if you don't say anything about it, the courtiers will probably discuss it. If the emperor really loves her, he should think more about her." Think about it, lest people in the world call her a concubine." The Queen Mother said coldly.
"Empress, Yaoyao has entered the palace for less than half a year, so there is no rush." Mo Rongzhan said.
The queen mother smiled, "Aijia is just reminding you, as to whether to listen or not, that is your business, it's getting late, let's go."
Murongzhan felt that the queen mother would not say these words for no reason, it seems that she still refused to let Ye Zhen go, "Send off the mother respectfully."
Sure enough, within a few days after the queen mother opened the capital, some people in the court began to discuss that the faction headed by the Liu family began to claim that the emperor's harem was empty, and there was neither a prince nor a princess. Let the harem concubines give birth to the prince for the emperor.
Some people even said that the queen has been in the palace for several months, but she is still not pregnant, so she should no longer be favored exclusively, and other concubines should be allowed to serve the emperor more.
Since these discussions were not carried to the court, Mo Rongzhan naturally ignored them, but they still reached Ye Zhen's ears.
