Sun Daizhao fell to the ground and twitched. Mu Mingtang didn't even look at him. He stepped over the person on the ground and ran to Xie Xuanchen's side quickly: "Well, let's go home."
Mu Mingtang held Xie Xuanchen's hand, only to realize that his hand was much colder than she thought. His fingers were as cold as ice.
Mu Mingtang was surprised and couldn't help looking up at Xie Xuanchen. The arc of Xie Xuanchen's side face was still arrogant and domineering, as if he didn't care about anything. Mu Mingtang swallowed the doubt in his stomach, supported Xie Xuanchen, turned around and walked towards Yulintang.
Xie Xuanchen walked all the way just now, no one dared to approach him, and he did not allow others to help him, so he just walked over by himself. Now Mu Mingtang supported him naturally, Xie Xuanchen didn't refuse, he still had a cold face, and walked away proudly.
After the two of them left, the female official who was kneeling on the ground dared to move. They crawled to Sun Daizhao's side, and they were in a hurry: "Aunt Sun, how are you?"
Xiang Nanchun and others knelt on the ground to send off the prince and princess. After Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang walked over, Xiang Nanchun stood up slowly. She glanced at the chaotic room. After all, she said nothing, lowered her head and followed Xie Xuanchen and the others.
In his position to seek his government, now, Xiang Nanchun has been sent to the Qiyang Palace. The affairs in the palace are no longer in her control.
Jingzhai was lively and quickly ended, and soon only Xiao Xiao Zhuying was left. On the other side, Mu Mingtang helped Xie Xuanchen back to the bedroom. The two of them didn't walk fast, and the entourage behind them didn't dare to urge them, and they all followed silently. Now that Xie Xuanchen sat on the seat in the bedroom, the maids filed in to change hot water and new tea for the two masters.
Xiang Nanchun came in, lowered his eyes and greeted Mu Mingtang: "I greet the princess. The slave maid, Xiang Nanchun, was originally the director of the Shanggong Bureau. A few days ago, the queen concubine thought that there was no maid in the palace of Qiyang, so she gave her servants to come to Qi. Yang Wangfu will serve you."
Xie Xuanchen went crazy in the evening of the ninth day, and Mu Mingtang was taken away and locked up at noon the next day. When she left, there were only four maids in the palace, two dowries from the Jiang family, and two from the Jin palace. When the female internal affairs officer was officially sent to the palace, Mu Mingtang was already locked up by Sun Daizhao and others. Therefore, Mu Mingtang has not met Xiang Nanchun yet.
After Xiang Nanchun introduced himself, Mu Mingtang knew that this was the internal affairs director of the Qiyang Palace. The regulations of the palace are not as strict as those in the palace, but the number of people in each position is also fixed and graded. Originally, the Qiyang palace was fully equipped, but after two years, these people died and walked, and the palace system became increasingly abandoned. Until this year, there will be no maids in the house, and the whole house is full of guard soldiers.
It is called a palace, but it is actually no different from a prison.
People outside dared to be so negligent because Xie Xuanchen was in a coma for most of the time, and he was unable to move because of the chains when he was only awake for a moment. The halls outside the Yulin Hall have all become decorations, and there is no need for manpower inside.
But Xie Xuanchen woke up and somehow broke free from the chains. If the Qiyang Palace is still an empty city, and there are no maids to run errands, then it is completely impossible to say. The queen dispatched people from Liu Shang and managed to get the configuration of the palace together. Xiang Nanchun was the leader of this wave of female officials and was in charge of the internal affairs of the palace.
Mu Mingtang has no opinion on this. Which wife did it herself, not to mention Mrs. Jiang, only to Mu Mingtang's mother. Their yard only entered three times, and her mother also had a dozen maids and wives. How can such a big mansion be managed by one person.
Their family is a merchant, not to mention the ostentation of the dignified palace. It turned out that there was no way to do it. Now that Xie Xuanchen woke up has been known, as a princess, Mu Mingtang can't smash his own face and do housework himself.
The Qiyang Palace always needs someone to serve as an errand, and the people from the palace are still safe. As for who is behind these female officials... With Mu Mingtang's current situation, no matter who is behind her, she can't do anything.
It's better to save some snacks and deal with Xiang Nanchun kindly. Xiang Nanchun is good at work, and Mu Mingtang lives comfortably.
Mu Mingtang nodded, and said some words of encouragement casually, giving the newly appointed chief of internal affairs enough face. Xiang Nanchun unexpectedly found that this Princess Qiyang was easier to get along with than expected, at least much better than the King Qiyang next to her.
Xiang Nanchun responded one by one, and finally stood up and asked, "Princess, the stove is still on fire, do you want to order a late night snack?"
Mu Mingtang understood as soon as she heard it. She was starved for almost two days by Sun Daizhao and the others. Compared with the time when she fled to the north, this level of starvation would not be worth mentioning at all. But after Mu Mingtang was adopted, she had no worries about food and clothing. She had set meals for a year, and her stomach was pampered again. Now, Mu Mingtang is so hungry that his stomach hurts.
People in the palace speak with dignity, which not only pleases Mu Mingtang, but also does not embarrass Mu Mingtang by telling the truth. Mu Mingtang was convinced, nodded along the steps and said, "Okay, but you shouldn't eat too greasy at night, just make a bowl of barley porridge."
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he looked back at Xie Xuanchen naturally: "Do you want to eat?"
Xie Xuanchen's face was still cold, as if someone owed him money: "Don't eat."
"Oh." Mu Mingtang turned around and instructed Xiang Nanchun, "I want shredded chicken porridge with yam, low heat, and a longer simmering time."
Xiang Nanchun was very surprised, and quickly glanced at Xie Xuanchen, then looked at Mu Mingtang in horror. As a result, King Qiyang, who seemed to be very difficult to speak just now, didn't react at all, and let Mu Mingtang play with it.
Xiang Nanchun was a little confused. When King Qiyang just broke the spoon and attacked, Xiang Nanchun didn't doubt that Xie Xuanchen could kill her at all. After going to Jingzhai, Xie Xuanchen also sneered at the chief female officer beside the Queen Mother, without showing any affection. How come now, the princess refuted his order in front of him, but he was like a good old man, and he didn't get annoyed at all
Xiang Nanchun watched the two men hesitate, and finally went out in confusion. After Xiang Nanchun left, the other maids were afraid when they saw Xie Xuanchen. No one dared to stay alone, so they all made excuses to go out.
After everyone left, Mu Mingtang said, "Cooking porridge is not something that happens for a while. I'll help you go back to bed and rest for a while."
"Okay." Xie Xuanchen got up, but just stood up and suddenly lost his strength, and he couldn't even stand. Mu Mingtang was terribly startled, and quickly supported him, "What's the matter with you?"
"Don't talk." Xie Xuanchen's face was pale, and his lips were even paler, "Don't tell anyone outside."
"I know I know." Mu Mingtang quickly helped him back to the bed, stuffing a soft pillow and a quilt. Xie Xuanchen lay back on the bed and closed his eyes tiredly. With pale skin, thin cheeks, and long eyelashes, he was lying weakly on the bed at this moment, feeling rather sickly and beautiful.
Mu Mingtang felt very strange in his heart. When Xie Xuanchen was facing Sun Dizhao just now, he was domineering and arrogant. As a result, when the door was closed, he instantly turned into this delicate appearance.
I thought he was a bully, but it turned out to be a beauty robbed by a bully.
Mu Mingtang was speechless, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Say earlier if you're uncomfortable, I won't talk so much nonsense to Nanchun. Are you better now?"
Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes and didn't even have the strength to speak. Mu Mingtang looked a little frightened, and frowned, "Why are you uncomfortable? Why don't I call an imperial physician."
"No." Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes and said slowly, "A little tired, just take it easy."
It wasn't other faults, Mu Mingtang was somewhat relieved. She knew about Xie Xuanchen's previous body. Normally, he was out of breath when he walked fast, but that night he fought alone for a long time, injuring so many people. This is simply not what his current body can handle. At that time, Xie Xuanchen was in a frenzy and felt no pain or fatigue. Now that he has returned to normal, his body must not be able to take it anymore.
Xie Xuanchen should have rested, but found that she was not there, so he just supported her weak body to find her. Mu Mingtang felt unbelievable that he could walk to Jingzhai alone.
Mu Mingtang hesitated, and finally sighed in a low voice: "They never dare to do anything to me, it's okay to be late for a day or two. Since you are so weak, why force yourself?"
"If I don't punish them severely, those people outside will not be honest. They have to clean up their disgusting once, and they will not dare to act rashly." After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he suddenly raised his eyelids and glared at Mu Mingtang. With a glance, "Who is weak?"
His eyes are very dark, he has led soldiers on the battlefield, and his eyes are very murderous. When he glanced over, it was really a bit of deterrence.
But Mu Mingtang looked at his pale face, and then looked at the way he was lying on the bed, panting weakly, it was really hard to get up. But Mu Mingtang was embarrassed to take the patient's face, so he nodded cooperatively: "Okay, I was wrong. Don't be angry, don't hurt your body."
Xie Xuanchen could see Mu Mingtang's perfunctory at a glance, but now he speaks so fast that he is full of anger, and he really has no strength to show the majesty of the coach. He could only glance at Mu Mingtang with a straight face, and make another note for her in his heart.
Mu Mingtang sat beside Xie Xuanchen and looked after him carefully. Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen's half-closed eyes, and felt extremely embarrassed.
She always knew that Xie Xuanchen was famous for his fierceness, and his temper was as famous as his military exploits. In the year she was in the Jiang family, what she heard the most was Xie Xuanchen's "heroic deeds". But after listening too much, she will be numb, and after marrying, Xie Xuanchen has been lying on the bed, looking delicate and weak, she suddenly learned that Xie Xuanchen was her savior back then, and the aura of the benefactor immediately overshadowed everything, so Mu Ming Tang Yixin felt that Xie Xuanchen was a good person, and the rumors outside were all bad people slandering him.
Until the day when Xie Xuanchen was manic, when Mu Mingtang ran over, he saw soldiers being carried down one after another. That's right, it's carried down, they can't even walk. Mu Mingtang glanced roughly, some people broke their legs, some people broke their arms, and some people just took Xie Xuanchen's move, and the joints were dislocated.
Under Xie Xuanchen's command, the tall and sturdy soldiers sent one away with one punch, just like a child who had just grown teeth.
But such a terrible person, after learning that she was taken away, dragged her body to stand up, went to Jingzhai to stand up for her, and offended the female official in front of the Queen Mother for her. Even when she returned to the dormitory, she held on until she had finished talking to the female official and there was no one else in the room, and then she showed her exhaustion.
Xie Xuanchen lay down for a while, and finally felt that his strength was back. He opened his eyes and saw Mu Mingtang's eyes were blank, as if thinking about something.
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think of anything." Mu Mingtang returned to his senses, and habitually tucked Xie Xuanchen's quilt, "I was just thinking that you may look fierce sometimes, but you are actually very delicate inside."
what? exquisite? Xie Xuanchen was in a hurry, what kind of description is this bitch, he was about to sit up: "What did you say?"
Xie Xuanchen got up a bit big, and when he sat up, he was so dizzy that he was about to fall down immediately. Mu Mingtang quickly supported him: "Be careful! If you have something to say, speak slowly, don't rush."
Xie Xuanchen fainted halfway through his ruthless words. He was very angry, but his eyes were still black and he had no strength. Like holding a glass man, Mu Mingtang slowly put him back on the pillow, not even daring to go too fast: "Don't get excited, say something slowly, I'm listening."
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he suddenly felt a movement behind him. She turned around and saw Xiang Nanchun standing at the door, looking like she didn't dare to knock on the door.
Xiang Nanchun didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as he came back. The prince was lying on the bed, and the princess was also sitting on the edge of the bed, propped up above Prince Qiyang, her hair slipped, obscuring half of her vision. Although I can't see exactly what they are doing, what can be done in this situation.
Standing at the door, Xiang Nanchun didn't know whether to go in or not. She was about to retreat quietly, but who knew that Mu Mingtang turned around. Xiang Nanchun had to smile awkwardly, pretending to have found nothing, and said, "Princess, the porridge is ready, do you want to use it now?"
Mu Mingtang was half propped on the bed, and it took a while for him to react. He quickly sat up straight and straightened his messy hair: "Bring it in now."
Xiang Nanchun and a group of maids entered the room with their heads lowered, not daring to glance at them. Mu Mingtang was also a little embarrassed in such an atmosphere. She really just wanted to help Xie Xuanchen to lie down, and didn't do anything. They looked like she wanted to do something wrong with Xie Xuanchen but was interrupted.
Mu Mingtang felt that there was a misunderstanding and needed to clarify, she stood up, coughed lightly, and said, "Actually, the prince and I were talking just now."
She didn't say it was okay, but the maids bowed their heads and blushed. Xiang Nanchun also avoided his eyes in embarrassment, bowed his body and said, "It was the servant who disturbed me, please forgive me, princess."
Mu Mingtang was also blushed by their infection. She wanted to explain more clearly, but Xie Xuanchen coughed lightly from behind.
Mu Mingtang had to shut up. The maids lowered their heads even lower. After putting down their things, they put away the dishes and ran away one by one.
After the people went out, Mu Mingtang brought the bowl of yam and chicken porridge, and was still indignant when he sat down in front of the bed: "Why didn't you tell me just now?"
Xie Xuanchen was also sullen, and his teeth were gnashing faintly: "Are you explaining that? If you continue to say it, it will only get worse."
"But it's not what they think!"
Xie Xuanchen's eyes burst out with murderous light: "You still said that?"
Mu Mingtang shut up, puffed out his cheeks and fed Xie Xuanchen to dinner. On the first day when Xie Xuanchen was sober, he was very resistant to being fed, but now, he is very skilled at every bite.
After feeding Xie Xuanchen, Mu Mingtang took out his bowl from the food box, and it was still warm.
Mu Mingtang opened the food box in surprise and looked: "How is this made, and it can still be kept warm?"
Xie Xuanchen snorted softly, apparently thinking that Mu Mingtang was rare and strange. Mu Mingtang had been hungry for a day and a half, and now she was too hungry. She didn't dare to eat greasy food, so she could only raise her with porridge. After using it, Mu Mingtang was putting bowls in the food box, and Xiang Nanchun came with the bed cover: "Princess, where is your bedding?"
Mu Mingtang turned back stiffly, and saw that Xiang Nanchun was leading a group of maids, some with pillows in their hands, and some with red quilts in their hands, standing neatly at the door.
When Xiang Nanchun came, Mu Mingtang had already been taken away. So Xiang Nanchun didn't know that Mu Mingtang didn't sleep with Xie Xuanchen. She didn't see the princess when she came, and she didn't tell her about the princess, so Xiang Nanchun subconsciously felt that the princess and the prince were sleeping in the same bed.
Xiang Nanchun was still wondering why there was only one pair of bedding on the bed. But as a slave, you have to ask less and do more. Xiang Nanchun calculated that the time was almost up, just when a prince and a princess had run out of porridge, but they were not going to do some actions that should not be seen by outsiders. A brand new set of bedding has arrived.
Mu Mingtang's hand to put the bowl was not easy. In front of so many people, she was embarrassed to say that she didn't sleep here. She looked at Xie Xuanchen for help, and hoped that Xie Xuanchen would speak out and put aside this embarrassing question for her.
Xie Xuanchen was embarrassed to intervene in the affairs of the female family. After all, Mu Mingtang is a young girl. He is a big man. How can he be forced to stay with the master? It seemed like what he wanted to do. So Xiang Nanchun came over with something, Xie Xuanchen quietly leaned aside, and handed over the choice to Mu Mingtang.
Xie Xuanchen sat for a while and found that Mu Mingtang was looking at him. He also looked back innocently, and after a while, the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
Standing at the door, Xiang Nanchun really didn't know what the couple was doing. The prince and princess didn't speak, so they didn't dare to move, so they had to continue to wait, but they couldn't help but look at the two of them one after another. In the end, Xie Xuanchen felt that he understood what Mu Mingtang meant, he lowered his head and coughed, his ears a little hot: "Well, let it go."
The author has something to say: Mu Mingtang: tacit understanding is zero, online despair.
