The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!
Chapter 489 The Emperor's Intention
On the 28th day of the lunar year, the whole city of Beijing was filled with a strong Spring Festival atmosphere.
The streets and alleys are decorated with lights. Big red lanterns are hung high, swaying gently in the wind, contrasting with the dazzling array of New Year goods in the street shops.
Pedestrians shuttled through the crowd, and children holding sugar figures ran and laughed in the crowd, adding a touch of warmth to the bitterly cold winter.
In front of Zou Ji Cloth Shop, several noble ladies from Beijing met and greeted each other.
An exquisitely decorated carriage slowly stopped, and Ning Yuyuan carefully helped her mother get off the carriage.
The wife of Marquis Wuling has had a weak constitution since childhood. Now she has accompanied her husband and daughter from Fuhai in the southeast to the capital. Since arriving in the capital, she has suffered from frequent asthma attacks and seldom goes out to socialize on weekdays.
The last time she went out was because Ning Wang's wife Mu Qianyin gave birth to a prince. Fuhai was Ning Wang's territory, and she was also the wife of Wuling Marquis, so naturally she had to go and congratulate her.
Today, as soon as she got off the carriage, she leaned on Ning Yuyuan's body and coughed violently a few times, attracting the attention of others.
"Isn't this the wife of Marquis Wuling?" A familiar female member of the royal family came forward to greet her, with a bit of concern in her tone, "It's been freezing these days, why are you out?"
The wife of Marquis Wuling quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, bowed slightly, and said, "I received news from the palace yesterday that the Qixi Festival banquet will be held as usual this year, so I brought Sister Yuan to buy some headwear and clothes for entering the palace."
If the wealthy and powerful want to order custom-made clothes, they usually ask cloth shop staff to come to their house to take measurements and make them custom-made. This way, they appear more luxurious. However, the downside is that it takes at least ten days to get the finished product after custom-making the clothes.
People like Lady Wulinghou who personally went to buy ready-made clothes usually did so on a last-minute basis.
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing again. Seeing this, the female members of the royal family beside her couldn't help but persuade her distressedly: "Why are you doing this? Just ask for leave when the time comes. His Majesty is a very reasonable person and will not blame you."
Ning Yuyuan also nodded quickly and agreed, "Mother, I think so too. Your health is more important. I will accompany you to the banquet."
Madam Wuling Marquis gently patted the back of Ning Yuyuan's hand, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, and we, as ministers, should be more considerate..."
At this time, another female member of the royal family took over the conversation: "Who said it wasn't... This year's Eve banquet, even my mother-in-law who has not left home for several years is preparing to enter the palace, otherwise why would I come to choose ready-made clothes for her at this time of year."
"Why is this? Why is this year's banquet so important?" someone asked curiously.
"You still don't understand the connection?"
"This... please tell me in detail, Madam."
The lady looked around and lowered her voice and said, "In just one year, the late queen was deposed and died, the crown prince was deposed as Prince An and moved to a subordinate territory, and the second prince was even deposed as a commoner... Your Majesty has lost three close relatives all of a sudden. He will inevitably feel sad at the New Year's Eve banquet. If not all members of the royal family can attend, the banquet will be deserted and unpopular. Wouldn't that bring bad luck to Your Majesty?"
She paused, then continued, "So, now all the royal family members have a tacit understanding that even if they have been living in seclusion for many years, they must attend this banquet."
Ning Yuyuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, until she met her mother's clear gaze, and then she finally understood.
……
In Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, news from the palace was received yesterday evening.
When Mu Yi hurried in to pass on the message, Xu Rongrong was standing aside, concentrating on watching Wen Yao boil the medicine. A wisp of green smoke rose from the medicine furnace, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the room.
After listening to Mu Yi's words, Xu Rongrong lowered her head slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she turned her head and looked at Mu Rong: "It seems that your majesty's action at the night banquet is a foregone conclusion."
Mu Rong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
During the past two days, Xu Rongrong was watching him and he drank every drop of the medicine.
In addition, he worked hard to regulate his breathing and internal strength, and his complexion has improved a lot compared to the previous few days. His originally pale face now has some color, and his internal strength has also recovered to 60%.
Hearing Xu Rongrong say this with such certainty, he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What does Rongrong mean by this?"
Xu Rongrong glanced at him and said, "The New Year's Eve family banquet has been a tradition for many years. The palace does not need to send people to notify the various mansions... But now it is being held in such a grand manner. Considering the current situation, which clan member dares to take leave and not come? Your Majesty is doing this, it is clear that he wants His Royal Highness Prince Ning to make a big mistake in front of the entire clan. In this way, no one will propose to make Prince Ning the crown prince..."
She paused here.
Because she couldn't ignore Mu Rong's undisguised burning gaze.
Such a look made Xu Rongrong's heart skip a beat for no apparent reason: "Why...are you staring at me like that?"
"I was just thinking, how could I, Mu Rong, marry such an intelligent woman..." Mu Rong's voice was low and gentle, as if it had a bewitching power. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the girl in front of him.
Xu Rongrong was made uncomfortable by this sudden confession and said angrily, "I am talking to the Marquis about serious matters right now! Why are you teasing me? I don't believe that the Marquis didn't think of this."
Mu Rong smiled but did not answer. He just looked at her quietly, with a bit of doting in his smile.
He just wanted to hear her analysis and see her thinking intently and talking freely.
He enjoyed this moment very much, and his heart was full of gratitude. Fortunately, God gave him a chance to be reborn.
Let him regain little by little what he missed in his previous life.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the house through the window, giving the girl a soft golden edge.
Wen Yao had retreated without knowing when.
They don’t know what challenges they will face tomorrow, but at this moment, he believes that everything will be solved.
