Rong Xi's jealousy still persisted, and she always felt that Mu Huai's words were perfunctory, so she coquettishly wrapped her slender limbs around the man's strong body.
Like a cat, she rubbed her chin against the man's chin, and begged softly: "I want to see the portrait of Princess Ji Li..."
Mu Huai was almost aroused by her. His handsome face looked forbearing and deep, and he asked calmly, "Why do you look at her portrait? I won't accept her as a concubine, and neither will she." Came from Yan to Qi."
—"...The concubine just wants to see what she looks like."
When Rong Xi said this, there was already a layer of mist in his eyes.
Mu Huai frowned, and clenched his fists fiercely. He hated the person who told Rong Xi about this matter, if he wanted to find out who this person was, he would severely punish that spoiler.
It's too annoying for this woman to be jealous.
A few years ago, because of a few beauties who were made out of nothing, this little vinegar bag moved the palace without saying a word, and even threatened him to kill himself with a knife.
Mu Huai was thinking about the past that made his heart tremble, but he felt a pain in front of him.
This sharp-toothed little misfortune actually bit him again.
Mu Huai pinched her soft ears with his fingers, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you more courageous? Huh?"
Rong Xi snorted, no matter who made Mu Huai always like to bully her, she was using her own way to treat her.
Mu Huai silently looked at the petite little man with lotus face and snowy skin in his arms. Rong Xi is now in his twenties, and his stature is slightly taller than when he was a teenager, but for him, She is still petite.
At this time, she was just like a flower in its prime, so beautiful. She was originally a stunning beauty, but now that she has been pampered by him, and has sat in the position of queen for several years, now she has more and more confidence to act on her beauty.
Taste the beauty of the age, and regain the beauty of the city.
Mu Huai can't describe her beauty in words. Fortunately, although Rong Xi has a beautiful face, he never does anything to confuse the monarch. Otherwise, he will have difficulty holding himself in front of her, and maybe he will become a fatuous monarch. .
When the envoy entered the Qianyuan Hall, he presented the portrait of Princess Yan to Cheng Song directly, and when Cheng Song handed the portrait to him, it had already been laid out on the imperial case for him.
Mu Huai also just glanced at the portrait, but didn't look at it carefully, and naturally he couldn't remember the face of the Princess of Yan.
— "Want to see her portrait?"
Mu Huai asked again.
Rong Xi nodded in his arms, and replied in a gentle voice: "I want to see it."
"Then if I bite it back, I will allow you to see it."
Rong Xi was speechless for a moment.
If Mu Huai didn't take advantage of her, he wouldn't be Mu Huai.
The two laughed and quarreled in the Chinese tent for a while, then Mu Huai called the eunuch in the study and brought the portrait of Princess Yan into the bedroom.
The beauty was sitting on the side of the dragon bed, her silky black hair was loose, her long eyelashes trembling, she seemed a little nervous.
Seeing the eunuch present the painting in front of the two of them, Rong Xi only felt that his heart beat a lot faster.
After Mu Huai took the painting, he handed it to Rong Xi, and said lightly, "Let's see."
Rong Xi breathed evenly.
Mu Huai was puzzled: "It's just looking at a portrait of a woman, why are you so nervous?"
This is the woman who almost became your imperial concubine, of course she is nervous.
Rong Xi slandered secretly, after receiving the scroll, she had just opened half of it, but finally closed her eyes quickly, and returned it to Mu Huai.
"The concubine doesn't look at it."
Mu Huai was helpless, and after spreading out the scroll, he said in a pretentious tone, "Then I'll take a look."
After saying that, Rong Xi immediately glared at him with those exquisite peach blossom eyes.
She still couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and she still looked at the beauty in the painting.
But Ji Li, the Princess of Yan Kingdom, is actually a beauty. She is gorgeously dressed, and she also wears a high corolla on her hair.
How can I say it
Rong Xi secretly felt that nothing could be seen from a single painting.
The princess of Yan Kingdom in the painting is beautiful, but her eyes don't have any aura, and she even looks a little empty.
But in recent years, she has been pampered and doted on by Mu Huai, the timid temperament she used to have no longer exists, and her whole person is much brighter, indeed much more beautiful than a portrait.
— "Are you relieved this time?"
Mu Huai lowered his voice and asked her warmly.
After hearing this, Rong Xi slipped into the man's arms a little shyly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Mmm..."
*****
Two months later, Bianjing will be in early autumn.
Although Ji Li, the monarch of the Yan Kingdom, agreed to Mu Huai's request, the hostages he sent to the Qi Kingdom were not his two legitimate sons, but the illegitimate son of the Regent and Empress Dowager Xiao, Ji Xun.
Although Ji Xun's status is precious, her father, the regent, is so powerful that even Yanjun Jili has to act according to his winks.
But Mu Huai is really afraid of Ji Xun.
When he thought of what happened at the banquet at the Honglu Courtyard that day, he still felt resentful.
Tuoba Jing is the hostage of the Ukrainian State and is also in the territory of the Qi State.
Whenever there is a banquet, Mu Huai will still invite him to the banquet.
It's just that in recent years Tuoba Jing's body has been wasted by wine and sex, and he doesn't often attend banquets.
When he learned that Ji Xun was coming to Qi State, Mu Huai didn't want to host a banquet to entertain him in Zirui Hall, but only held a small banquet in the Honglu Courtyard, which is south of the imperial city and west of Zhuque Gate.
Mu Huai thought, as the monarch of the Qi Kingdom, he only needs to deal with that Yan Kingdom's eldest son, Ji Xun, and be as polite as possible.
As for Rong Xi, who is his queen, there is no need to accompany him to the banquet.
Mu Huai would not let Ji Di enter the Forbidden Palace for half a step, in order to prevent that good man|wife's Ji Di from missing his Xi'er.
On the day when he met Ji Xun, Mu Huai wore the usual dark crown robes of an emperor. He looked as tall and handsome as ever, with a steady and deep demeanor.
After Ji Xun followed the envoys into the main hall of Honglu Courtyard, Mu Huai looked from a distance and saw Yan Shizi Ji Xun dressed in a rich belt, handsome as a demon.
Mu Huai was disdainful in his heart.
sissy.
But when Ji Di approached him, Mu Huai felt that he looked familiar, and after a closer look, he realized that Rong Xi had guessed correctly.
Anger and remorse immediately melted in Mu Huai's heart.
Sure enough, this Ji Xun had sneaked into Daqi's barracks and worked on the secret work of Yan State.
But he also felt that this matter was really strange. After he returned to the camp from Yejing that year, he heard Wang Huai mention that the accompanying captain surnamed Yan accidentally fell off the cliff when he went up the mountain to collect firewood, so he should have died at the bottom of the cliff. And he was smashed to pieces.
Mu Huai wanted to kill Ji Di and then quickly, but the alliance between Qi and Yan was in front of him. If he killed Ji Di, it would be tantamount to turning against Yan.
It was also because of this that Ji Xun acted extraordinarily calm when seeing him, with a hint of complacency.
Fortunately, during the month that Ji Xun came together, he performed fairly well.
In the mansion Mu Huai bestowed on Ji Xun to live in, he planted many eyeliners to monitor him.
Those eyeliners told Mu Huai about Ji Xun's itinerary for this month, saying that Ji Xun was nothing more than going to restaurants, and brought a widow into the mansion to live with him.
The informant also said that there were two masters of martial arts next to Ji Di, and these two masters were superb in lightness kung fu, and they followed Ji Di at any time to protect his safety.
Mu Huai knew that the widow that Ji Di took into the mansion should be his wife when he was a spy in Qi State.
Since Ji Di couldn't see Rong Xi and was accompanied by a widow, she wouldn't do anything about cholera palace curtains.
Mu Huai thought, as long as he keeps himself safe and doesn't cause trouble, he can still save his life.
***
After Emperor Zhuang's funeral, Chen Wang Mutao finally married the Duke's first daughter.
Now, Mu Tao also has his own heir, the youngest son has just reached the full moon, not only Concubine De is beaming with joy, but Mu Huai is also happy for his elder brother from the bottom of his heart.
In the previous life, Mu Tao married Tuoba Yue, and the marriage was unfortunate.
In this life, the arrival of Prince Chen's son showed that everything was different from the previous life.
Mu Huai was in a very happy mood, so he chose a day with clear sky and clear weather, and invited the local princes and dukes of Bianjing to hold a polo match in the suburbs to celebrate the full moon of Prince Chen's son.
Rong Xi's equestrian skills have become more and more refined in recent years, and Mu Huai found that Rong Xi, like him, is also a competitive person.
So he formed a team with Rong Xi, and when they played polo with Yin Cheng and his wife, they cooperated very well.
He felt more and more that this woman suited him more and more.
Mu Huai deliberately chose a snow-white horse for Rong Xi in the Qiji Courtyard. The sun was shining brightly that day, Rong Xi was wearing a peony red Hu suit, leather boots, and a flower tint was drawn between her brows. She is wearing a pendant bun, which can be described as slim and graceful, yet heroic.
Compared with wearing luxurious women's clothing, Rong Xi looked brighter and more beautiful in this improved Hu suit.
— "Your Majesty, we have won this round."
Rong Xi said to Mu Huai with a little excitement.
Mu Huai admired his queen with great interest, and replied to her lightly: "Yes."
There was endless applause from all around, and some people were beating drums to help out. The second round of the polo match was about to begin. Everyone saw that the emperor and empress were both pulling up the reins, and they were competing for polo again with Yin Cheng and his wife.
Ji Di hid in the crowd, watching everything silently.
Of course he came here uninvited, and he also thought of many ways to get rid of the eyeliner that Mu Huaian put on him, in order to be able to meet the Queen Rong who had hurt him.
A few years ago, he was rescued by a hunter at the foot of the mountain, and he returned to the country of Yan after many twists and turns.
After Ji Xun woke up, he realized that Mu Huai, the monarch of Qi State, only had Queen Rong as a woman, so the little Huangmen who wanted to kill him was Queen Rong.
Ji Di has always hated Rong Xi, and also wanted revenge, wanting to take her life.
But today, after he saw her face clearly, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Now he doesn't want to kill the Queen Rong anymore.
This Empress Rong is really a fierce and cruel femme fatale.
Sure enough, it was interesting.
She was so different from other women he had seen, and he could not complain that Mu Huai would abandon his half-sister Ji Li.
Although Ji Li was beautiful, she was far inferior to that of Empress Rong.
Only such a beauty can bear the stunning beauty of a country and a city.
Seeing that the ladies from the official family around him noticed him one after another, Ji Di didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he left the racecourse soon.
However, he thought that although he would not allow Queen Rong to die with his life again, he still wanted something from this woman.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to dispel the hatred in his heart.
*****
After Daqi's silk manufacturing industry was on the right track, Rong Xi often went out of the palace to the Silk Manufacturing Bureau to personally inspect sericulture matters. When she went to the Sizao Bureau, she would bring Danxiang with her, as well as two or three attendants. The whole group wore casual clothes and kept a low profile.
The night was near dusk.
Rong Xi and Dan Xiang stayed at the Silk Manufacturing Bureau for nearly a day before returning to the Forbidden City of Yongxi in a carriage. When they were halfway there, Dan Xiang lifted the curtain of the car. Rong Xi looked out the window and found that , there are stalls selling toys such as Jiulianhuan and Qiqiao locks nearby.
- "Stop, Ben Gong wants to go and have a look at the stall."
The coachman got the order and immediately reined in the horse.
Mu Chen is also approaching the age of enlightenment. Although he can speak, he is extremely taciturn.
He likes to disassemble things all day long, and also likes to use a brush to paint on gold-sprinkled paper, so Mu Huai always reprimands Mu Chen for not doing a proper job since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will become a playboy prince when he grows up.
However, this child is talented in painting.
Rong Xi thought, this folk Qiqiao lock has always been difficult to solve, instead of letting Mu Chen destroy other things in the palace, it is better to let him play with this Qiqiao lock.
After she asked the vendor about the price of the Qiqiao lock and Jiulianhuan, she was about to turn around and order Dan Xiang to pay for the money, but she felt that her mouth was covered by a silk cloth with a strange fragrance.
Rong Xi's eyes widened suddenly, she tried her best to struggle, but her strength was no match for the man who was holding her hostage.
Dan Xiang was also held hostage by another person, and her mouth was tightly covered by someone, she couldn't make any movement, she could only look at her master's eyes with red eyes gradually becoming blurred.
But those attendants were still some distance away from the two of them. After they discovered the strangeness in front of the stall, Rong Xi had already lost consciousness, and was abducted by the man who looked superb at lightness kung fu.
After Rong Xi woke up, she could hear the familiar hustle and bustle of Bianjing Wazi, as if she was in the guest room of a certain hotel.
There was a bitter taste of medicine in Rong Xi's mouth, and he also felt strange.
She was hot and uncomfortable and desperately needed someone to relieve her.
At this time, a tall man walked towards her.
After Rong Xi saw the man's appearance clearly, his eyes couldn't help but change.
"you you… "
It turned out to be him, Ji Xun, the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom.
After Ji Di arrived, Rong Xi hadn't seen him. She thought that she had mistakenly killed an accompanying captain a few years ago. Recently, she felt a lot of uneasiness in her heart, feeling that she had killed a life in vain.
But who knows, this Ji Di is indeed the former Yan Jian.
Mu Huai should have met Ji Di, but after he returned to the palace, he never mentioned Ji Di to her.
Guilt was one aspect of Rong Xi's heart, and he had also heard the rumors about his cholera palace curtain, and knew that Mu Huai was afraid of Ji Xun, so he never mentioned Ji Xun to him.
On Rong Xi's white hair, cold sweat gradually seeped out.
Only Ji Xun, who was almost killed by her, hated her so much, and came up with such a despicable way to insult her.
She would rather be killed by him directly than do this kind of thing with him because of the medicine.
There was a smile on the corner of Ji Di's mouth, but those phoenix eyes were cold. He asked casually, "Queen Rong, do you still remember me?"
