Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 406 Happy Event

Shen Ruoxi walked slowly and entered the main hall.

Only then did he realize that Su Liuer was not the only one in the hall.

Murong Yao and Leng Ruqing were also there.

"Ruoxi, you're here too."

Su Liuer smiled and waved to her.

Shen Ruoxi saluted towards her.

"What is it that makes the queen so happy?"

"It is indeed a happy event." Su Liuer's smile became brighter. She looked at Leng Ruqing aside, "Ruqing is pregnant!"

"Really?"

Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"

"It's only been a little over a month."

Leng Ruqing smiled happily at Shen Ruoxi, then turned to glance at Murong Yao beside her, her eyes full of joy.

Shen Ruoxi said.

"That's really congratulations. I'll go back and ask someone to pick out some gifts."

"That's no need. I've eaten five or six times a day for the past two days, and I feel fat." She pinched her cheeks and looked at Murong Yao beside her, "Tell me, are you there?"

"No, don't talk nonsense."

Murong Yao smiled at her.

Su Liuer looked at Shen Ruoxi: "Ruoxi, why are you here today?"

"I heard that the marriage between Princess Mingshan and Chen Guogong has been completed. This matter was initiated by my son. I should come over to thank my mother."

"Although I have a normal relationship with Concubine Xian, Mingshan is still a child of the palace. It is my duty to call me mother queen."

Su Liu'er held the cup and glanced at Shen Ruoxi with a pair of gentle eyes.

"You kid, you care about other people's affairs. You have to pay attention to your own affairs."

she gestured.

"Yao'er and Ruqing both have children, so it's time for you and Heng'er to get interested."

Shen Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly.

"We will discuss this matter after Ah Heng gets better."

Murong Yao turned his eyes.

"I heard that the prince's health is fine. Is he still not fully recovered?"

He looked worried and his face was calm.

It seems like he really cares.

Shen Ruoxi glanced at him, then sighed, showing a secretive expression.

"It's... hard to say."

Let him guess.

Not long after, someone came over from outside and said something in Murong Yao's ear.

Murong Yao stood up and said to Su Liuer.

"Mother, my son, Chen, and Ruqing are going back first. We will see our mother another day."

"Why did you leave so quickly?"

"Have you forgotten, mother? My son is currently in confinement. He is able to come out now because the emperor knew that Ruqing was pregnant, so he allowed us to enter the palace. However, the time is also limited."

Su Liuer's face was startled, and then she showed a gentle smile.

"If it is a misunderstanding, it will eventually be resolved. If you are wronged, please stay in the house for a while. When Heng'er finds out, everything will be fine."

"I wonder where the prince found it?"

Murong Yao looked at Shen Ruoxi: "Does the Crown Princess know?"

"How do I know what is going on in the court? Only those who are clean will be clean. If Prince Rui really has no fault, I believe everything will be fine soon."

Shen Ruoxi's light-colored pupils had a hint of alienation.

"If Qing is pregnant now, Prince Rui will still focus more on her."

Hearing this, Murong Yao felt a trace of impatience in his heart.

He looked at Su Liuer.

"Mother, I will take my leave."

After that, he turned around and left.

When he stepped out of the palace door, he looked back.

A woman wearing a smoky green dress sat next to Su Liu'er. She was dignified, bright and elegant.

But it's so far away.

He lowered his eyes and continued to walk out.

Leng Ruqing followed him and remained silent.

She didn't say it until she left Changqiu Palace.

"You seem to be in a bad mood."

"No."

Leng Ruqing was silent for a few seconds and then said.

"Murong Yao, what do you think of Ruoxi...?"

Murong Yao stopped.

"What do you mean?"

"I just think you feel a little weird about her..." Leng Ruqing hesitated for a moment, not sure whether to say the next words.

Women are always sensitive.

Murong Yao, a cold-blooded person, seemed to be different from usual when facing Shen Ruoxi.

A bold guess welled up in her heart, but she felt ridiculous at the same time.

He treats Shen Ruoxi...

Murong Yao whispered.

"You think too much."

"Shen Ruoxi is the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's true love. If I treat her differently, it's just a little more defensive. She is not as gentle as she seems on the surface, and she happens to have her own ideas."

"Every word she said seemed casual, but it had deep meaning, which made me have to speculate a little more. I know that you have a good relationship with the Crown Princess, but you must always remember that the Crown Prince and I have different positions after all."

Hearing this, Leng Ruqing's eyes flickered slightly.

Then she shrugged.

"It is said that women tend to overthink things when they are pregnant. It seems that I am not immune to this problem."

"Don't think about it, go back. Isn't your father arriving in the capital in two days? You should take good care of me in these two days, lest he think I have treated you badly."

"Ah."

Leng Ruqing hooked his finger.

Murong Yao held her hand with a smile on his lips.

The moment he turned his head, his smile faded.

Leng Ruqing's words just now quietly revealed the unknown secret in his heart.

He did have some different feelings towards Shen Ruoxi.

I was startled when I first saw him.

Later, I was unconsciously attracted by her qualities.

Her beauty, her calmness, her wisdom.

They are all places he appreciates.

But it is a pity that this beauty and wisdom did not fall into his hands.

What you can't get is better to destroy.

After Murong Yao and Leng Ruqing left, the palace suddenly became deserted.

After a while, Su Liuer sighed.

She lowered her eyes and drank tea.

"The relationship between Heng'er and Yao'er seems not to be very good recently."

Shen Ruoxi didn't expect that she would mention this suddenly.

No words were spoken for a moment.

Su Liuer turned the cup in her hand and sighed.

"Ruoxi, can you tell me whether Heng'er's behavior before was really due to frailty, or... other reasons?"

Shen Ruoxi didn't answer, but asked.

"What does the queen think is the reason?"

Su Liuer was stunned and looked at her, but hesitated to speak.

Shen Ruoxi said lightly.

"Since the Queen Mother has the answer in her heart, why do she need to ask her son?"

After that, she stood up and blessed Su Liu'er: "If the queen has nothing else to do, I will go back first."

"Ruoxi, I sincerely hope that you and Heng'er will have a good relationship..."

Shen Ruoxi smiled.

"My son will do it."

After Shen Ruoxi left, Su Liuer looked at her back and tightened her fingers slightly.

She called the eunuch beside her.

"Go to Prince Rong's Mansion and ask Prince Rong to come over. I want to see him!"

*

In the carriage, Murong Mingshan was wearing a bright red wedding dress and leaning on the soft cushions. Her eyes were a little vacant and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Princess, are you okay?"

The dowry maid Cuiliu beside her asked softly.

Murong Mingshan came back to her senses and lowered her eyes slightly.

"It's okay, I just feel a little dazed, getting married so easily."

Cuiliu lowered her voice, a little dissatisfied.

"You are a princess after all, and you were granted marriage so casually without even a decent process. It's really aggrieved..."

She said with red eyes.

Normally she would not dare to say these words even to death.

Now that she leaves the imperial city, she doesn't have so many worries anymore.

Murong Mingshan shook her head.

"None of that matters."

She lowered her eyes, put her fingers on the car window, and whispered.

"My mother-in-law has always wanted me to leave the imperial city, marry far away, and live a stable life for the rest of my life. Now her wish is half fulfilled, but she doesn't know what my future husband will be like..."

"My servant has already inquired about it. Although Chen Guogong's palace is in a weak position now, it is still a noble family after all. It is said that the prince is also a good son. If the princess marries him, he will definitely live a good life!"

"This marriage...it was the Crown Princess who came to help me talk about it."

Murong Mingshan smiled bitterly.

In the end, I didn't expect that Shen Ruoxi, who had always been at odds with his mother and concubine, would help, and Concubine Qin, who had always been arrogant, also sent a congratulatory gift.

His father, who had doted on his mother and concubine for so many years, didn't even look at her when she got married.

What an irony.

After the carriage drove for a while, it suddenly stopped.

Cuiliu raised the car curtain and asked.

"what happened?"

"Miss Cuiliu, in front of us is Prince Rong's carriage. The road is a bit narrow and is blocking the road a little."
