After hearing this, Rong Xi was both pleasantly surprised and curious.
She casually asked: "Where is your husband taking this concubine?"
Mu Huai saw the light in her haggard eyes, and his worries about her just faded away a little bit.
He lowered his eyes slightly, staring carefully at the petite woman who was barely under his shoulders, and purposely kept it off, and said in a low voice: "You can guess, I won't tell you."
Rong Xi's soft lips were slightly pursed, her appearance was rare and naive, and she reproached in a soft voice: "...I can't guess it by myself."
Just as he finished speaking, he was carefully held in his arms by the man and walked towards the hall.
Mu Huai lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, and said again: "Gu has already had the car ready, you and I will change into ordinary clothes before leaving the palace."
Rong Xi nodded.
Because they are in the palace, even if there is no banquet, the clothes Rong Xi and Mu Huai usually wear are too gorgeous, it is extremely inconvenient if they go out to play.
After a while, Rong Xi changed into a simple but finely crafted pair of Hunan-colored trousers. Her thick black hair was only lightly twisted into a single thread, and she looked like a pretty bride.
Rong Xi walked up to Mu Huai, and saw that the man was just like in her dream, tall and straight, wearing a moon-white shirt.
It is also the same as in the dream, with black hair half tied with a small sapphire crown.
Seeing his outfit, Rong Xi's heart beat faster.
It's just that Mu Huai in reality doesn't have the gentle temperament of Mu Huai in his dream at all.
He still had a cold and aloof look, his brows and eyes were still sharp and slightly stern, and he looked a little domineering.
Seeing Rong Xi walking towards him with small steps, Mu Huai lowered his head to look at her protruding abdomen.
She felt that even though she was dressed like a girl from a good folk family, because of that gorgeous face, she still carried a charming and troublesome temperament.
Especially now that this little mischievous woman is pregnant, her timid demeanor is even more seductive.
It's not that he has evil thoughts.
It's that he knows what despicable thoughts a man will have towards a pregnant beauty with a soft voice like her.
Thinking about it, Mu Huai's eyebrows became darker.
The previous promise to her cannot be counted. He still has to hide this woman's appearance tightly so that no outsiders can spy on him.
Mu Huai called Dan Xiang in a deep voice to find a veil for Rong Xi to cover his face.
This veil not only completely covered her stunning face, but the veil also hung down to her knees, covering her protruding belly.
Only then did Mu Huai calm down a bit.
By the time of Shen, Bianjing was already in dusk.
After the two sat in the Xuan car, Rong Xi begged Mu Huai in a low voice, wanting to lift the curtain to see the scenery outside.
After thinking for a while, Mu Huai ordered: "It looks fine, but you are not allowed to take off this veil."
Rong Xi nodded obediently.
Fortunately, through the tulle of the veiled hat, she can see the scenery outside the window clearly.
With the spring breeze blowing, Rong Xi recognized the direction of the carriage, and when they reached Fengqiu Street, Rong Xi felt a little excited.
She put down the curtain of the car, and said softly to Mu Huai: "Husband, the residence of my concubine and her family was in this Fengqiu Street."
Mu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, and replied: "Coincidentally, Yin Cheng's family also lives here."
Rong Xi suddenly realized that Mu Huai was going to take her to Yin Cheng's residence.
Speaking of which, Fengqiu Street is very close to the various departments of the Imperial Army, Mu Huai brought her here, as if he had made preparations early in the morning.
Mu Huai should have brought her here knowing that she was thinking about Huanniang's two children.
Rong Xi's heart was warm, so in the slightly bumpy Xuan car, she wrapped her slender wrists around the man's waist, kissed his side face through the veiled hat, and said softly: "Thank you, husband, for bringing me a concubine." Come to General Yin..."
Mu Huai's heart shuddered when he was kissed by Xiao Liang Di.
His nostrils were filled with the unique fragrance of women, but his tone was heavy, and he frowned and said: "Being out of the palace, be honest with Gu, don't do such provocative actions in front of outsiders."
It was rare for Rong Xi not to feel frightened by the man's tone, but instead asked: "But this is in the car...and no one saw it."
Mu Huai pursed his lips helplessly, and stretched out his hand to flick Xiao Liang Di's plump forehead.
He said again, "That won't work either."
Rong Xi caressed her sore forehead with some grievances, not daring to provoke Mu Huai anymore.
Mu Huai held her slender hand, but his eyes were cold.
This woman didn't know that she was singing like a bird in this car, which made him want to feed her a hard meal in this car.
Mu Huai calmed down the strangeness in his heart, and in a short while, the Xuan car finally drove to the mansion where Yin Cheng and his wife lived.
After Mu Huai got out of the car, he carefully helped the woman in the veil down, Yin Cheng and his wife were already waiting respectfully in front of the mansion.
Huanniang's two sons and daughters are also there.
After meeting with Yin Cheng and his beautiful wife, Rong Xi just wanted to say hello to those two little guys.
But she suddenly realized that now that she no longer concealed her face, and now covered her face with a veil, the two children might not be able to recognize her.
But who knows, Huanniang's youngest daughter timidly asked her with a childish voice unique to children: "Are you... Sister Rong?"
Rong Xi was slightly surprised.
She didn't expect such a young child to recognize her, finally nodded to her, and replied gently: "Well, I am sister Rong who is familiar with Huanniang."
At this time, Mrs. Yin Cheng lowered her head slightly and looked at Huan Niang's daughter. She spoke softly, but with a little reproach, and said, "Don't be rude, it's appropriate to call you Liangdi."
Huanniang's daughter immediately changed her words, and called Rong Xi respectfully: "...Liangdi."
Mrs. Yin Cheng gently touched the little head of Huanniang's daughter, and ordered her servants to take the two children back to the room, and at the same time said softly to Rong Xi: "Don't worry, Concubine Liang, I treat these two children as equals." Born by myself, these two children are very well-behaved and obedient, and live well in the house."
Rong Xi nodded gratefully, and replied softly: "Madam take care of them more."
Seeing that Huanniang's two sons and daughters have grown taller, their eyes have lost the sorrow of losing their mother, and they have regained the clarity that children should have, so she knows that Mrs. Yin Cheng has taken good care of her two.
On the other side, Mu Huai and Yin Cheng chatted about business as soon as they met. The two tall men strode forward, throwing her and Mrs. Yin Cheng some distance away.
Rong Xi watched, Mu Huai was very familiar with the boundaries of Yin Cheng's mansion, as if he had been here many times.
Mrs. Yin Cheng ordered someone to put away Rong Xi's veiled hat, and after seeing her face clearly, surprise appeared in her eyes.
Sure enough, Rong Liangdi's appearance was extremely beautiful.
Mrs. Yin Cheng secretly felt that since the crown prince brought Rong Liangdi to the Yin residence.
That means that he treats Rong Liangdi not only doting, but also very kind.
After all, Yin Cheng is from the relative family of Mu Huai's mother, Concubine Yin Xian.
Mrs. Yin Cheng took the initiative to find the topic, and said with Rong Xi: "When His Royal Highness was the fourth prince, he always came to the mansion to practice martial arts with his concubine husband. Up to now, there is still a martial arts field in this mansion."
After hearing this, Rong Xi replied in a soft voice: "So that's the case. I thought just now that His Highness is very familiar with this place."
Mrs. Yin Cheng is also a young lady from an aristocratic family. She speaks well and handles affairs with propriety.
He is not too enthusiastic to make Rong Xi feel uncomfortable, but also shows respect for the guests everywhere.
The night was getting dark.
The food and drink in Yin's house tonight is all ordered from Fan Lou, and everything is exquisite and delicious. Rong Xi used some vegetables and food, and followed Mrs. Yin Cheng to her room to see the children of Huan Niang.
While teasing the two children, Rong Xi asked her about Huan Niang's husband, whether his work under Yin Cheng was going well, and whether he caused Yin Cheng any trouble
After hearing this, Mrs. Yin Cheng's face was slightly solemn.
She replied: "Don't worry Liangdi, he has done a good job. But after hearing from my husband, after the Huanniang left, he became taciturn. speak."
After hearing this, Rong Xi felt a little heavy in his heart.
Mrs. Yin Cheng sensed what Rong Xi was thinking, and hurriedly changed the subject, and deliberately asked Xiang Huanniang's daughter: "What are you playing with my brother? Show it to your mother."
Huanniang's daughter immediately obediently handed over the doll in her hand to Mrs. Yin Cheng.
After Mrs. Yin Cheng took it, Rong Xi also looked at the doll.
But he felt that the puppet looked a little scary, and he couldn't help asking suspiciously: "Among the children in Bianjing, such a puppet is so popular now? Why do I think it looks a little scary?"
Mrs. Yin Cheng frowned and looked at the puppet, she nodded, and replied in agreement: "Well, after Liang Di said so, I also think this puppet is a bit weird, it seems that those sorcerers use it to cast spells. Human."
After finishing speaking, he ordered the servant girl to take the doll down.
Rong Xi's beautiful eyes kept looking at the doll, until the servant girl left the room with the doll, and then she looked away.
She silently recited Mrs. Yin Cheng's just words in her heart.
Warlock, curse man.
Suddenly, she thought of a word that was tabooed by the royal families of all generations—
Witchcraft.
*****
Yongxi Forbidden Palace, Ninghui Palace.
Zhai Shihua has been very popular recently, her sister's reputation has been ruined, and the queen is finally willing to put her in her eyes. Recently, she is always calling her into the palace to accompany her.
Mu Tao, who has just been named king, has not yet married a wife. The queen arranged for Zhai Shihua to meet Mu Tao's biological mother, Concubine De, a few days ago.
Such a move is well known to all discerning people.
The empress wanted Zhai Shihua to be Mu Tao's concubine.
Zhai Shihua is naturally happy in his heart, and Mu Tao has a gentle temper, not as violent as Mu Huai.
Mu Tao's biological mother, Concubine De, was not from a bad background, she didn't have the heart to be a crown princess, but if she could be a royal concubine, it would be a blessing that no number of noble ladies in Beijing would envy.
At least a hundred times stronger than sister Zhai Shiyin's marriage.
After all, no one from Bianjing's lord's family wants to marry her.
Zhai Shihua didn't even have any sympathy for the eldest sister, and felt that because of her indiscretion, her reputation as a daughter of the Zhai family was also ruined, which delayed her future.
Fortunately, Concubine De's attitude towards her was quite polite.
If she can marry Mu Tao smoothly, she will be able to add some face to her parents after all.
Zhai Shihua is like floating in the clouds every day, enjoying the more courteous and flattering service from his servants than before, and he is more attentive to the Queen's service.
This day, she personally brought her servant girls to the Food Bureau of Ninghui Palace to provide meals for the queen.
When he saw the maid Danxiang beside Rong Liangdi, Zhai Shihua stopped and found a strange stone to hide behind.
He also ordered the servant girl to keep quiet and listen carefully to Danxiang's speech.
Hearing Dan Xiang's tone was slightly heavy, he said: "Liangdi has a bad appetite recently, and her body is always sick, the crown prince ordered me to take some nourishing ingredients to nourish her body."
The cook immediately replied respectfully: "Miss, don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the best ingredients."
After a while, the eater brought out an ebony food box and handed it to Dan Xiang.
After Dan Xiang took it, he exchanged some pleasantries with the two cooks from the Shang Shi Bureau, and then returned to the East Palace.
Zhai Shihua didn't hear any useful information, only knew that Rong Liangdi, who was pregnant, seemed to be ill.
She shook her head helplessly, and just about to walk out from behind the strange stone, she heard one of them say humanely: "I heard that Rong Liangdi's body has become very poor now, the prince is always angry because of this, but the imperial doctor can't diagnose it at all." Come on, it's really strange."
The other servant shook his head and replied: "What's so strange about this, since it can't be found out, there is only one possibility."
"Which possibility?"
Zhai Shihua continued to hide behind the strange stone, and he also had this question in his mind.
That's right, since Rong Liangdi was not found out by the imperial physician, why is she always feeling unwell
—"What else is possible, that Rong Liangdi has a domineering personality and has offended many people, presumably someone resented her and put a curse on her. That's why she was pregnant and suffered. Don't underestimate her This voodoo technique is recorded in the history books. This harmful voodoo technique was in the previous dynasty, but it missed a country... "
