Ji Man opened his mouth, wanting to say that I am your mother. But Haohao is already so old, looking at her eyes full of strangeness, Ji Man suddenly felt a little sad.
"Let's go back to the Hou's mansion first."
Gui Bai looked at Nie Sangyu, nodded, and quickly left the palace, returning to the Hou Mansion before Zhao Zhe found out.
Ji Man didn't intend to argue with Zhao Zhe why he was in the cellar of Wangyue Tower, as long as he came back and protected him in the future, it didn't matter. Without being a good bargaining chip, Zhao Zhe would probably have a headache for a while.
"Why were you taken away?" Zhao Zhe snorted, glaring at Shen Youqing who was on the bed.
Shen Youqing's face was pale, just after drinking the anti-fetal medicine, he frowned and said, "Didn't Mrs. Nie make an oath with Marquis Mo Yu in front of so many people? It is impossible for the emperor to welcome Mrs. Nie again." Into the palace, if this is the case, then what about the concubine returning Moyuhou Shizi to Nie Sangyu to accumulate some blessings for the fetus in her belly?"
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Zhe went forward and grabbed her wrist angrily, "Why are you so short-sighted? You can only see that Ning Jinchen is Nie Sangyu's son? Can't you see that he is still the son of the Marquis? Can you threaten Nie Sangyu? , naturally can also threaten Ning Yuxuan. I worked so hard to hide him for so long, but you sent him back to Nie Sangyu directly?"
Shen Youqing knew how to fight for favor in the backyard, but he didn't know the disputes in the previous court. She was pregnant and almost had a miscarriage. The emperor didn't come to care, but she accused her all the time. Shen Youqing felt a little chilled, bowed her head and didn't speak.
"I thought you could help me stabilize the country together, but I didn't expect you to harm me behind my back!" Zhao Zhe shook off her hand and walked away: "You should reflect on yourself in the palace."
After finally grasping a bargaining chip that could stabilize the situation, frighten Nie Sangyu and stabilize Ning Yuxuan, it was destroyed by his own people. Now that Ning Jinchen has returned to the Hou Mansion, what else does Marquis Mo Yu have to worry about
Zhao Zhe rubbed his temples, but the eunuch next to him said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent up the list of new maids who have entered the palace. Does the emperor want to have a look?"
Except for the Concubine Luo who was killed last time, there are no newcomers in the palace to fill the harem. Zhao Zhe thought for a while, nodded and said, "Bring it."
After returning to the Hou Mansion properly, she flung herself into Mo Yuhou's arms, and there was a burst of crying. Ning Yuxuan hurriedly comforted him, and let Guibai go to pick up the board by the way.
Ji Man stood beside him, a little at a loss. It was the first time for her to meet Nie Sangyu in his original form. Logically speaking, she should hug and call her son affectionately, but she was a little nervous.
"Okay, do you know this person?" Seeing that he had cried enough, Ning Yuxuan turned around and faced Ji Man.
Blinking his eyes well, he thought for a long time and said, "It's very similar to the paintings hanging in Dad's study."
painting? Ji Man raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Yuhou.
Ning Yuxuan covered his son's mouth with a dry laugh: "I don't want you to say this, but do you think she is familiar?"
Ji Man's palms were slightly sweaty, and he smiled stiffly towards Hao Hao.
Hao Hao's eyes were full of doubts, he shook his head and whispered in Ning Yuxuan's hand: "I'm not very familiar..."
Ning Yuxuan quickly muffled his voice for him, looked at Ji Man with a smile and said, "My child has never seen you like this before, so it's natural that you will be a little stranger. It's good to get along with him more."
Ji Man sighed, knelt down and said in Master Ji's voice, "Did your son learn any new poems today?"
After a moment of stunned, subconsciously put his little hands on his back, shook his head and read: "The sun shines on the censer to produce purple smoke, and I can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance. The flying stream goes down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days."
Ji Man twirled his non-existent beard, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is smart."
"Master?" He opened his eyes wide and looked at her in amazement, scratching his head with a dazed expression: "Master doesn't look like this..."
"It's okay, you don't have to think about it." Ning Yuxuan stretched out his hand to hug the child, and let him look at Ji Man: "You have to call her mother from now on."
So stupid, after a while, he pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Ji Man smiled and asked, "Don't you like calling me mother?"
Hao Hao is a smart child, knowing that the person in front of him is a good person, but the mother in his memory doesn't look like this. Seeing the older sister in front of her smiling a little sadly, my heart is all tangled up, should I bark or not? Don't make others feel sad, but if you call, you will feel sad too.
He has no mother for a long time.
"Don't call me mother, you can call me master in the future." Ji Man pinched his little face with a smile, feeling that it was not as smooth as before, and said: "It's time for the prince to make up for his body."
The topic changed, and he tugged at the corner of his clothes to avoid his father's gaze. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's because the eldest sister said that it's fine to call me Master...
Ning Yuxuan sighed silently.
The family of three was finally reunited, but the Hou's mansion always felt gloomy, Liu Hanyun was ill, and only Mu Shuiqing occasionally came to chat with Ji Man.
"I heard that the emperor is going to choose a concubine." Mu Shuiqing was also recovering from a serious illness, and it was rare that she was in good spirits, so she came to chat with her.
I haven't seen this person for a long time, but Ji Man thinks she looks better again, maybe because she is relaxed and has no worries, and her skin is also radiant, although a little pale.
"What's wrong with choosing a concubine?" Ji Man brought her refreshments.
"It's exciting to watch." Mu Shuiqing chuckled twice: "Who doesn't know that Shen Niangniang is a bitter and jealous person. The Shen family and the Xiao family are now related by marriage, so there is no quarrel. The emperor's dragon position is naturally stable." It's safe. But if there are more people in the harem, two powerful characters appear, and something happens to Shen Niangniang, will it still be so peaceful? Once the dragon chair lacks a foot, it will not be easy to sit firmly."
Ji Man felt that Mu Shuiqing sometimes had great wisdom, and what she said suddenly made her realize.
Zhao Zhe has always been flirtatious. After ascending the throne, the harem may grow rapidly. Shen Youqing will soon face a situation where a large group of court ladies younger than her will compete with her for favor. Ascending to the throne, no matter how there are no concubines in the six palaces, it is inevitable to end up with Zhao Lipengyue.
"The concubine daughter of Jingwenhou's family has also gone." Mu Shuiqing said: "These days are recovering from illness, and I heard many maids talking badly. The last daughter of Jingwenhou, who is sixteen years old, also went in this time. Just don't know how it will turn out."
Er Rong has a younger sister? Ji Man was a little surprised, but when she thought about the low status of concubines and the fact that it was inconvenient for her daughters to go out, except for Er Rong who had the title of princess, the sense of existence of the other concubines was indeed very weak.
Well, I found it. Errong doesn't want to go back to Jingzhou recently. Firstly, it saves her son from having to travel and travel. Secondly, she is afraid that Jiarui'er will be lonely, so she has good company. The two children, one big and one small, are fun.
Nie Qingyun and Jing Wenhou went back to Jingzhou first to deal with matters. When Ji Man went to Nanyuan, he saw Er Rong was shaking with a smile, and next to him was Hao Hao and Rui Er, one big and one small, hugging each other on the thick carpet Roll on.
"Be careful, you're a mother who still smiles so happily." Ji Man scolded her lightly, stretched out her hand to hug Rui'er to the bed, and looked at her again to make sure.
Haohao is also so happy that his face is slightly red, he has eaten a lot of good things in the past two days, but he can't make up for it immediately, and he looks a little thin.
Ji Man patted his head, and said softly, "Your Majesty should take a nap."
She nodded obediently and climbed into bed to sleep with Ruier.
"What's your sister's boudoir name?" Ji Man pulled Er Rong into the yard to talk.
Er Rong naturally also knew about the concubine's going to enter the palace, so he pursed his lips and said, "Her name is Er Xin, she is a very clever girl."
clever? Ji Man raised his eyebrows, what is cleverness
"Speaking of which, when the crown prince went to Jingzhou a long time ago, he met Er Xin. Er Xin has been attached to him for a long time. Thanks to my cousin's recommendation, I have the opportunity to enter the palace to realize my dream." Er Rong sighed: "My cousin Brother is really a good man."
Ji Man looked at Er Rong with his chin propped up, meaning Er Xin was sent to the palace by Mo Yuhou? Have you already had a crush on the emperor? Still smart
Why did she feel that Ning Yuxuan didn't plan to use force this time, but rather wanted to play a coup d'état. I don't know if she is thinking too much.
"Are you planning to live in this mansion without a name or a title?" Er Rong looked at her, and said with some concern: "Why don't you go and ask the emperor to give you a marriage earlier."
"It's useless to beg." Ji Man sighed: "He likes to hang us like this, besides, there is already an official wife in the mansion, so he can't let the emperor marry him and marry a concubine, right? Yuxuan doesn't have such a big face."
Errong looked melancholy: "Why do you say your life is so bumpy? You're getting old year after year, why doesn't God give you a peaceful life?"
Ji Man looked up at the sky, and sighed: "Heaven will send a great responsibility to the people, and you must work hard first..."
"Okay." Er Rong interrupted her, and said earnestly: "Now there is only one wife and one concubine in the Hou's mansion, as long as they don't cause trouble, your life will be easy. But you should catch your cousin better." , after all, there will always be newcomers around him."
After all, Ning Yuxuan is an ancient man, and he will not be single-minded. Ji Man felt a little melancholy when she thought of this, she had already given her heart, if he didn't cherish it, and wanted to be a collector of girls' hearts, what would she do
Just as I thought about this question, someone came to complain over there, saying that Lord Qian sent some beautiful maidservants to serve Lord Hou.
Qian Yingchen? Ji Manteng stood up immediately, instead of going to Mo Yuhou's place, he turned around and went back to the room to find the hidden human skin mask, then changed into Ning Yuxuan's clothes, tidied up a little, and went to Zhu Yurun.
Zhu Yurun became more and more beautiful, and she was very happy to see her: "Why have you changed back to this look? Can't you show your true colors?"
Ji Man smiled and leaned against Zhu Yurun, and taught her to write poems: "Your man caused me trouble, so I decided to come and chat with you until he automatically solves the trouble for me."
