After hearing Mu Huai's words, Rong Xi opened her slightly sleepy eyes, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
When she was an official lady many years ago, it's not that she never imagined what her future husband would look like.
But she never expected that her husband would be such a strong-tempered man like Mu Huai.
The deal was done, she already had his child and became his wife, Rong Xi felt a little joy in her heart when Mu Huai asked her to call him her husband.
Mu Huai is still her husband.
But between lovers, it is not necessary to call each other's wife or husband.
Mu Huai has never called her by any title, most of them call her "you", or directly call her "Rong Xi" when he is angry.
Rong Xi remembered Mu Huai's nickname, his name was Zhi Yan.
Nice name, Zhilan Yushu, Yanruo gentleman.
Rong Xi softly called Mu Huai's nickname, Zhi Yan, in his heart, but the words that came out of his words were obediently calling: "...husband."
Her voice was sweet and greasy, and Mu Huai suddenly felt that someone had knocked on the tip of her heart.
It is far from enough to just say "husband" to make people feel unsatisfied.
Mu Huai's thin lips curled slightly, and he ordered her again in a low voice: "Call me again."
Rong Xi boldly put her lips next to Mu Huai's ear, and gently kissed the man's earlobe with her soft lips.
Seeing that the man's body was slightly stiff, he looked into his eyes timidly again, and said softly: "Husband, you are the best, hurry up and sleep with my concubine."
These words were spoken in his ears, as if they were tickling his heart.
Thinking of the soft and greasy touch of the woman's lips still resting on his earlobe, Mu Huai's heart suddenly became numb, and the energy rushed along his limbs to his forehead.
His eyes dimmed suddenly, and he quickly put the woman under his body.
Rong Xi's long black and thick hair suddenly scattered like seaweed, and the man's tall body fell into a shadow, covering the petite and helpless her.
At this moment, her drowsiness and fatigue melted instantly, and her spirit immediately became tense.
Mu Huai supported his body with one hand, and lifted the woman's delicate chin with the other. He seemed to be aggressive, but in fact he was extremely careful and restrained, and kissed her deeply.
I don't know how long it took before Rong Xi was kissed so dazedly that she suddenly realized that she was still pregnant, and hurriedly panted to Mu Huai: "...husband, concubine... concubine's month is not stable, don't..."
Mu Huai didn't completely lose his mind, looked at her eyes with a little fear, seeing her embarrassment, and finally let go of her.
He recalled the inch of sweetness that he smacked carefully, and veins appeared on the back of his hand.
If this went on like this, the meat in her belly hadn't landed, but he was about to finish it.
But now Rong Xi is like a porcelain doll, weak and fragile, he couldn't bear to treat her like that.
Mu Huai helped the woman up, and let the slightly trembling woman lean against him, while he played with her soft long hair, stroking it again and again.
This woman is still too timid, she is afraid of becoming like this after a kiss.
Mu Huai pursed his lips, and then covered the woman's red ears with thin lips, laughed in a low voice, and asked, "Afraid of this?"
Rong Xi huddled in his arms, not daring to speak.
After this man brought her back, he was much more restrained about the Dunlun matter than before, but when she recalled all the things she had with him before, she still felt a little scared.
Seeing that she was silent, Mu Huai did not get angry.
He lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, and called her softly, "My dear."
After hearing this, Rong Xi's heart skipped a beat.
Mu Huai actually called her Xi'er
Could it be that I heard wrong
His voice was deep, mellow, and very magnetic. When he called her Xi'er, she felt that her heart was about to burst.
Rong Xi closed her eyes and pretended to be stupid, but her slender and thick eyelashes fluttered up and down.
At this moment, the man had already gently pushed the woman in his arms away. He looked at her timid and watery peach blossom eyes, and slightly pulled the corners of his lips.
Then, with a bewitching tone, he said: "My dear Xi'er, help Gu Hanhan."
*****
The next day when Bai Lu was fainting, Rong Xi Mu Huai got up first, and when she remembered what happened last night, her ears were still glowing red.
Since Rong Xi was pregnant, she was prone to sleepiness, but she still held on, and got up a little earlier than Mu Huai.
Liangdi's order uniform was sent to the East Palace last night, it was a luxurious and complicated long-sleeved Juyi, the color on it was dark and dark, quite royal.
She is going to wear a high bun this morning, and also wears a heavy Erbo false bun. Since she has status, she must not show timidity. Rong Xi attaches great importance to the matter of going to Weiyang Palace to pay homage to the empress today.
Although she was nervous, she had been to Weiyang Palace with Yu Zhaorong before, and had seen some scenes, so she did not panic.
After Dan Xiang and the maid dressed her up, Mu Huai still hadn't got up, Rong Xi knelt on the Chinese carpet beside the four-poster bed, silently admiring Mu Huai's sleeping face.
She felt that her bun was a little heavy, so she put her arms on the edge of the bed, tilted her head slightly, and continued to look at the sleeping man.
Mu Huai's sleeping appearance is very good-looking, when he was asleep, there was no gloomy look on his face, and Yingjun's brows were rarely bright.
Seeing that his brows were still slightly furrowed and seeing that he was still awake, Rong Xi kissed the center of his brow quietly.
Mu Huai's eyebrows widened slightly, he smelled the familiar and calming fragrance of the woman, just as he was about to grab the woman's head with his big palm and kiss back, Rong Xi avoided him in time.
She was afraid that Mu Huai's attack would not be serious, so she would break her bun and loosen it.
The man finally came to his senses, he was a little displeased to know that the woman was avoiding him.
It's really a small disaster to do that act of flattering you early in the morning.
Mu Huai frowned and sat up from the bed, the aura exuding around him was a little aggressive, he closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows.
Rong Xi felt that when he just got up, he was like a lazy lion.
After Mu Huai opened his eyes, seeing that Rong Xi was fully dressed, he stared at her for a while.
Seeing that she is petite and thin, and she can't hold herself up well, Liangdi Juyi has a high bun with jade tins scattered on her hair, and her palm-sized face is getting sharper.
Mu Huai's expression softened a little.
If such a petite and weak woman was slowly sent to that position, the whole process would be a kind of fun.
The court ladies were all afraid of Mu Huai, and they didn't dare to serve him closely. Even if they were allowed to serve him, they would often make mistakes out of fear.
In fact, Rong Xi has always been curious about what mistakes the three court ladies who were killed by Mu Huai made before, but Shunfu didn't tell her, and she still dare not ask Mu Huai.
Rong Xi took care of Mu Huai to freshen and wash up, helped him put on the Yuan clothes and crown, tied the leather belt and jade hook for him, and stepped on his feet to help him put on the crown with green pearls hanging on it.
Mu Huai closed his eyes and focused his mind, he was much taller than Rong Xi, seeing that she was going to help him wear the crown, he lowered his head slightly.
The beads hanging from the crown touched slightly, making a clear voice of lingling, which made his brows look deeper and brighter.
There is still some distance between the East Palace and Weiyang Palace, Mu Huai sent people to the chariot courtyard in advance, and after the next court, the two of them took the luxurious Zhaiwei Lubo car together when they went to Weiyang Palace.
Rong Xi sat next to Mu Huai, walking on the familiar palace road, but it was the first time she was being carried by someone, and she felt fresh and nervous at the same time.
At this moment, Mu Huai took her hand into his palm, he didn't look at her, his face was calm and composed.
When we reached the main hall of Weiyang Palace, it was already full of concubines, and the empress and Emperor Zhuang also sat side by side on the main seat.
The concubines and concubines in the harem were quite curious about her Rong Liangdi who came from the people. When they saw her appearance clearly, they finally understood why this cold and unruly prince loved this Rong Liangdi so much. .
She was born too glamorous, not like the kind of beauty that should be in the world.
Most of Emperor Zhuang's concubines are old, and seeing the young and beautiful Rong Xi, if they say they are not even half jealous, it would be a lie.
After Rong Xi entered the hall and sat down, she was not nervous at all.
She had come to Weiyang Palace with Yu Zhaorong many times before, and she was used to the scene in front of her.
Sitting next to Rong Xi, Mu Huai looked at the group of women, and felt irritated.
He lowered his eyebrows, feeling that the smell of powder was too pungent.
Sitting among the women made him feel uncomfortable all over. She never married any woman in her previous life, and she never visited Weiyang Palace to pay homage to the empress.
This is different from being among men in the previous court. When he was in court in his previous life, most of the courtiers wore the same clothes according to their grades.
And the clothes worn by the concubines in front of him were of different colors, which made him dazzled.
Those courtiers were still far away from his dragon chair, and although the main hall of Weiyang Palace was quite spacious, the space seemed a bit cramped with such old people sitting there.
Not to mention, those women still looked at him and Rong Xi from time to time.
Really annoying.
Mu Huai's sharp eyebrows sank again.
He looked at the woman beside him, and saw that her expression was quite calm, and when he saw him looking at her, he smiled softly at him.
Seeing Rong Xi smiling at him, Mu Huai's irritable mood calmed down a little, and when no one noticed, he quietly took the woman's soft and slender hand into his palm.
The second sister of the Zhai family stood behind the screen at this time, quietly looking at everything in the hall.
Zhai Shihua saw Rong Xi's appearance clearly, was slightly surprised in a low voice, and said to Zhai Shiyin: "Then Rong Liangdi is really good-looking. It's the first time I've seen such a good-looking person when I grow up. Sister, you This time, I met a tough opponent."
Zhai Shiyin was silent, her eyes filled with jealousy, and then said quietly: "So what if she is born beautiful, she is not a girl without a family background, she can only live by the prince's favor."
Zhai Shihua was about to say something more, but Zhai Shiyin put her index finger on her lips to silence her.
She said: "Don't make noise, the empress is talking."
The queen said to Emperor Zhuang in a calm tone: "Since the crown prince has accepted the concubine Liang, the matter of marrying the concubine should also be put on the agenda."
After finishing speaking, the corners of Zhai Shiyin's lips tugged slightly.
Rong Xi felt that his head had been stabbed.
She became Mu Huai's concubine, she couldn't escape the common customs, she also wanted to completely possess her husband's favor, she didn't want him to sleep with other women, and even more greedy, she didn't want to share Mu Huai with others.
But he is the prince, the future emperor of Daqi, how could she be the only woman.
Emperor Zhuang remained silent, he knew that the empress intended to make the daughter of the Zhai family the right concubine of Mu Huai.
The empress was his first wife, and the two of them had a sweet time together when they were young, but later his feelings for the empress faded. These years, the empress was suppressed by Concubine Li Gui, and she was unable to have children, but she did not cause trouble.
In Emperor Zhuang's heart, he felt a little guilty towards the queen.
He said, "Does the queen have any ideas? Let's hear it."
The queen replied: "The concubine thinks, let the Ministry of Rites appoint some ladies from aristocratic families, and let the prince choose a show, and the palace can also help the prince to see with the emperor. In addition to choosing the prince concubine, we can also help the prince choose a few more brides of the same age. Yi and Liangyuan."
After hearing this, Mu Huai gave a slight snort.
Feeling that the woman's hand was about to leave his palm, he clenched it a little more.
Rong Xi had no choice but to force herself to deal with it calmly.
It is impossible for Donggong Nuoda to only live with a woman of status.
She was pregnant, and she would not be able to satisfy Mu Huai in the next few months.
Emperor Zhuang asked Mu Huai: "Prince, what do you think of the queen's arrangement?"
Only then did Mu Huai let go of Rong Xi's hand.
He stood up and bowed, and then respectfully said to Emperor Zhuang: "Last year, when I was in court, the expenditure on military pay made the treasury a lot of money. Bianjing draft. Moreover, the father is still in recovery, and the son is naturally not the kind of woman who cares so much."
After hearing this, the Queen's expression froze slightly.
Emperor Zhuang replied approvingly: "Well, the crown prince is filial and considerate of the people. Then it's fine if we don't do this draft."
After Mu Huai sat down, the queen blinked.
Whatever Mu Huai said, Emperor Zhuang would praise him, she was not used to it.
However, what he said today was true and choking, and he said he was filial and people's livelihood, so she really couldn't bring up the matter of letting him marry Zhai Shiyin.
It seems that we have to think of a different way to let the cold-tempered prince accept Zhai Shiyin.
Even if, this method makes it a bit tricky.
*****
After all the concubines left Weiyang Palace, Mu Huai also walked out with Rong Xi.
After listening to Mu Huai's words to the queen just now, Rong Xi's restless mind finally calmed down a little. It seems that Mu Huai will not have any women in the short term.
There will be no Zhai Shiyin, nor will there be Liangyuan and Fengyi next to her.
Emperor Zhuang walked out of the palace with the support of the queen, and seeing that Mu Huai hadn't gone far, he said in a low voice: "Manya, follow me to the Taishi Bureau."
Mu Huai lowered his head and said yes, and then let Rong Xi return to the East Palace first.
Rong Xi nodded obediently, seeing the figures of Mu Huai and Emperor Zhuang drifting away, her eyes overflowed with astonishment.
Teeth
Is it Mu Huai's baby name
I didn't expect a man as powerful as Mu Huai to have such an interesting nickname.
When she was feeling amused, she saw Zhai Shihua walking towards her, and the person following her was her maidservant, carrying a suitcase and backpack, and it seemed that she was about to leave the palace and return home.
However, Zhai Shihua is going to return to Shangshufu as Rong Xi thought.
She felt that coming to the palace was not as interesting as before, and the empress was obviously more inclined to Zhai Shiyin, and coming to Yongxi Palace by herself seemed to be a foil for her.
When Zhai Shihua saw Rong Xi walking towards her, the servant girl behind her was a discerning maid, and said to her in a low voice: "Miss, she is Di Liang, you should greet her well."
She had no choice but to half-bend her knees, saluted Rong Xi, said that after seeing Rong Liangdi, she was going to the Xuanhua Gate.
Rong Xi said softly at this time: "Miss Zhai stay."
Zhai Shihua is puzzled, this woman should have enmity with her sister, but she is not going to marry Mu Huai, why would she call her
Zhai Shihua asked: "Rong Liangdi...what's the matter?"
Rong Xi smiled lightly, sized up Zhai Shihua's four-butterfly silver hairpin with her soft peach eyes, and clicked a few times with her soft voice, before replying: "Miss's hairpin is really beautiful!" They look good, I don’t know which shop in Bianjing they ordered them from, I want to order a pair too.”
Zhai Shihua couldn't help laughing, she felt that Rong Liangdi's actions were really vulgar, she must be from the common people, and she had never seen anything interesting.
After entering the palace, people also become snobbish, wanting all kinds of good things.
Really vulgar.
Zhai Shihua's face was round and delicate, she stroked the hairpin by her temples with her hands, and said to Rong Xi with a little pride: "This hairpin, Rong Liangdi can't buy it in Yujie, this is the queen's hairpin." The empress gave it to me."
Rong Xi pretended to have the same expression as before, and said to Dan Xiangming: "Remember this style, and ask the prince to make a similar one for me when I go back."
Dan Xiang looked at Zhai Shihua with a smug face, remembered Rongxi's advice just now, and replied: "Yes, I remember it... But I saw that Miss Di's flower hairpin looks familiar... It seems that Mrs. Zhai Miss also wore it. Look, Di Liang, the bead inlaid on the corner of the butterfly wing didn't seem to be there before. It seemed to be smashed and then patched..."
Before the words were finished, Rong Xi pretended to be domineering and reprimanded: "What are you talking about in front of Miss Di?"
Dan Xiang repeatedly admits to Rong Xi and Zhai Shihua.
After saying this, Zhai Shihua's face suddenly became ugly.
She wasn't that dull, so she knew exactly what the palace lady said.
This hairpin was actually used by Zhai Shiyin, and it was a bad one.
The queen actually rewarded Zhai Shiyin with the bad hairpin she didn't want, but fortunately she still wears it as a treasure.
Zhai Shihua was in a hurry, pulled out the luxurious hairpin on the sideburns, and threw it on the bluestone floor.
The servant girl behind her was startled, and hurriedly picked up the hairpin, and repeatedly persuaded: "Girl... don't throw it around. This hairpin was rewarded by the empress. It's a crime."
Zhai Shihua snorted and turned her head to one side.
She was trembling with anger, and her eyes were slightly red.
Rong Xi pretended to be apologetic, and persuaded softly: "Miss Di, my maidservant has offended you by talking too much today. However, although I come from a private background, I have seen many dirty things in the house... I think you fall in love with me." , I will talk to you more today. Ms. Zhai should be more considerate if she is true, and don't let someone who cares step on you and use you as a target."
After finishing speaking, Rong Xi bowed slightly, and left the main entrance of Weiyang Palace with Danxiang in her figure.
Tuliu Zhai Shihua froze in place, recalling what Rong Liangdi said to her in her delicate voice.
She knew that Rong Xi had no good intentions.
But what Rong Liangdi said made sense.
Zhai Shihua recalled that day when Mu Huai made her kneel as a punishment, Zhai Shiyin not only didn't help her to intercede, but went back by herself first, she felt even more resentful.
Both are daughters of the first order, their parents prefer the eldest sister, and the queen, who is an aunt, also prefers the elder sister.
Why? Why should she suffer this kind of grievance
Why would she use something that Zhai Shiyin didn't want? Did the queen take her for a fool? If you give her a broken and mended hairpin, will she be happy
Zhai Shihua has always respected and loved Zhai Shiyin, the elder sister.
But today, Zhai Shiyin finally understands that her well-behaved older sister doesn't really think of her as her own younger sister.
*****
At noon, the weather in Biandu, which was still a little dark this morning, gradually brightened, and the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, which made people feel very happy.
When Rong Xi returned to the East Palace with Dan Xiang and a group of attendants, he actually saw Mu Huai who had turned back on the palace road.
Seeing Mu Huai walking towards her, Rong Xi asked puzzledly: "Didn't my husband go to the Taishi Bureau with the emperor? Why did you come back after a while?"
Thinking of Emperor Zhuang's body, Mu Huai's expression was a little heavy, and he replied: "Before halfway, Father was not feeling well, so he was carried back to Qianyuan Palace by someone."
Rong Xi asked again: "Then, is my husband going to the Political Affairs Hall... or going out of the palace to Dali Temple?"
Mu Huai looked at the stunning beauty in a complicated bow dress, his expression was rarely peaceful, and he replied calmly: "Go back to the East Palace alone, and have lunch with Emperor Liang."
The corners of Rong Xi's lips twitched slightly, and she replied softly: "Well, husband, eat more today."
Mu Huai had already held her hand, but Rong Xi remembered that just now, Emperor Zhuang called Mu Huai with his teeth full.
She fantasized about Mu Huai's appearance when she was a child, and she called out several times in her heart, full of teeth, full of teeth.
She also wanted to call Mu Huai full of teeth, calling Yaya might be more catchy.
But this idea can only be thought about.
If she really called out, Mu Huai would probably break her wrist.
Rong Xi was so engrossed in his thoughts that he actually murmured those two words.
"Teeth."
When Mu Huai heard these two words, he paused and was also stunned.
He immediately reacted.
This woman heard his baby name at Weiyang Palace this morning.
Mu Huai felt that his heroic image would be ruined by this nickname, how could he still hold his head up in front of this woman in the future
Rong Xi had already regained consciousness, and realized that he had called out those two words, which is really bad.
She immediately covered her mouth with her hands, and fell silent with a look of horror.
Mu Huai's complexion was already gloomy, he asked in a low voice, viciously: "What did you call Gu just now?"
