a pillow in autumn

From the late fall of last year when Zhou Mubai went to Yunzhou to supervise officials of Lizhou County for corruption of ink, to the death of Taifu Shen at the end of winter, followed by Zhou Mubai's impeachment and participation in the concert, one incident after another, one after another, it was too much to deal with.

Although Shen Xianxun managed to deal with all the affairs in the palace, after all, he was weaker, and he knelt at the Laiyi Gate for a long time, and was escorted back to the car by Shuyao in the rain, and at night he had a low fever Come.

The steward and Shuyao took Princess Rui's name card and rushed to Pei's mansion. Shuyao went to the inner courtyard to meet Mrs. Pei. Pei Dongcheng knew that Princess Rui was ill, so he immediately sent Pei Yue back to the palace with the medicine box on his back, behind the heavy curtain The flower tent of the curtain gave the princess a pulse.

Prince Rui's detention in the palace is already known to the court, although there is no official name yet, but after many years in the officialdom, everyone has learned to adapt to the wind, and the few officials who had contacts with each other ordered their wives to leave at this time. Many people disappeared and hid, but the Pei family was able to remain as before, which is also considered commendable.

After two days of raising, the condition of the disease was evacuated.Early this morning, Sijin and Nianyu took care of the princess to wash up, and the little girl brought porridge and snacks.Shen Xianxun was not in the mood to eat, and Sijin persuaded: "Master was already tired when he kept his filial piety for Mr. Shen at home. That day was sad and sad, and it rained for several hours, always hurting his vitality, and he looked thinner. After a while, His Highness came back and saw how distressed he may be. Besides, the little imperial doctor Pei repeatedly instructed the day before yesterday to ensure that every drink and meal should be refined and nourishing. This glutinous rice porridge is only made in the small kitchen, and the cook before dawn It’s just simmering in the kitchen. The master uses some at least, so let’s be considerate of us as servants.”

Listening to her narration, Shen Xianxun also knew that she was the backbone of the palace now, if she fell ill again, it would be even more difficult for Prince Rui's palace to support it.

He took the spoon, stirred it in the small porcelain white bowl, and took two mouthfuls slowly.

There are several seasonal snacks and porridge side dishes on the table, among which there is a plate of green cabbage.Shen Xianxun watched quietly for a moment, raised her chopsticks and poked the crisp and pleasant cabbage heart, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The maids serving her meal glanced at each other quietly, the princess has always behaved dignifiedly, except for the occasional teasing with the prince, there was never such a naughty time on weekdays.

Xian Xun took back her chopsticks and barely used up half a bowl of porridge.

It was rare for Xiaoxiao to clear up the rain, she thought, since there is still no news, let's go to Jinyu Palace today.Although the Queen Mother doesn't like her very much, her love for Mu Bai is sincere.

There was a chaotic noise outside, Xian Xun glanced at the door, Si Jin came up to support the princess, winked at Nian Yu, Nian Yu nodded, and walked outside.

As soon as he walked to the door, the carved door connecting the outside room was pushed open vigorously. Siyuan ran in with his skirt in his hands, with great joy on his face, and shouted: "Miss!!! My uncle is back!!!"

She was so happy that she even forgot to address her as "Your Highness", and just called "Uncle" according to the usual habit.

"What did you say?!" Xian Xun was startled, surprised and delighted.She immediately stood up, getting up violently, with a burst of dizziness in front of her eyes.Sijin hurriedly helped her stabilize, and Xianxun took a moment to hold onto Sijin's wrist to stand still.

"Uncle is back! Your Highness is back!!" Siyuan was also very happy: "The butler said that someone from the palace sent him back, but he is still awake, and Xiaotuanzi and Guozi are all in the front hall."

After hearing this, Xian Xun went out and asked, "What do you mean you haven't woken up yet?"

Siyuan shook his head, but also didn't know.

Sijin stopped the concubine and said: "My master just got better today, don't go out to attract wind at this time. After a while, Xiaoguozi and Xiaotuanzi will send His Highness back to the room."

Xian Xun couldn't care about anything at this time, she just said anxiously: "I'm going to see her right now!" As he spoke, he brushed her away and walked out.

She was only wearing an ordinary thin spring dress, Sijin grabbed a cloak casually, hurriedly followed out, chased the princess down the porch, and put the cloak on her.

In the front hall, Zhou Mubai was leaning heavily in the armchair, Xiaoguozi and Xiaotuanzi supported him from left to right, seeing his concubine coming out, he hurriedly bowed to say hello, still holding the prince in his hand, it was really embarrassing.

Shen Xianxun saw that Mu Bai had returned to the palace with all his beard and beard, and she felt a little more settled, and walked over gracefully.

Several young father-in-laws who came from the palace greeted Princess Rui, saying that last night, His Majesty and Prince Rui had a happy chat and drank until the sky was about to dawn.Prince Rui was overwhelmed with alcohol, His Majesty pointed to the five-four car with a golden saddle on the top of the treasure, and sent a whole team of guards to send Prince Rui back to the mansion.

The so-called emperor drives six, princes drive five, ministers drive four, officials three, scholars two, common people one.The golden saddle on the top of the treasure and the five-four seat are the standard only for princes and princes.The palace rules are strict, Zhou Mubai is just a prince, and he can't bear five golden saddles.

Shen Xianxun thought about it in her heart, but her face remained calm.Thank you for your majesty's kindness, and ordered the housekeeper to give more gold and silver rewards to several small palace servants.

The palace people thanked him for the reward, and the housekeeper personally led him out of the palace.

Shen Xianxun watched them turn to Zhaobi, then turned around quickly, walked to Mu Bai's side in a few steps, stroked her cheek and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Zhou Mubai was drowsy, his heroic eyebrows raised.

Xian Xun said: "Send Your Highness back to the bedroom."

Walking out of the front hall, the housekeeper chased after him from the outside, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to ask Imperial Doctor Pei to come over to check His Highness's pulse?"

Princess Rui shook her head, "Your Majesty personally sent someone to send it back. At this time, please ask the imperial doctor to go to the house. How can it be passed?" Then she calmly ordered: "Send more people to guard the door. Anyone who comes to post today will be welcome. They're all blocked."

"Yes." The butler bowed to accept the order and left.

When Zhou Mubai woke up, he saw Shen Xianxun leaning on the edge of the bed, looking at her for a moment.Intuition must still be in a dream, she blinked and smiled.

Until Xianqian said: "Your Highness finally woke up." Her voice was a little hoarse, but her expression was tired and deeply joyful.

She kept looking at her.

Mu Bai stretched out his hand from the brocade quilt, grasping the slender and boneless little palm, it was warm.She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and said, "I'm back?"

"En." Xian Qian replied, her nose a little sour.

Mu Bai suddenly sat up, stared fixedly at Xian Xun for a moment, and opened his arms to hug her tightly in the next moment.

"Xun'er," she said.

"Ah."

"I am back."

"Mmm..." Xian Xun's voice was thickly nasal.

Mu Bai kissed her forehead, his lips were hot, sticking to the skin of her forehead, he didn't let go for a long time.

There was mist in Xian Xun's eyes, she turned her head sideways, and buried her face into Mubai's neck, tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, sticking to the delicate skin of Mubai's neck, seeping into her in the lapel.

Mu Bai only felt sour in his heart, soft and painful.She stroked her back and said softly, "Good boy. I'm back."

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but after she said that, Xian Xun's tears spread even more, and she cried out heartbroken one by one. "Why did you come back! I've been waiting for you every day and every night, do you know that!" She clenched her small fist and hit her once, throwing away all the calmness, indifference, reservedness and stability she had been carrying outside for many days, crying His voice was full of grievance and coquettishness.She grabbed her pajamas, and her fingertips turned white with such force that you didn't realize it.

Mubai held her in his arms, and his voice was full of doting: "It's my fault. I came back late, which made you worry and make you angry. Now that I'm back, I won't leave the next step. If I go to Where, our husband and wife will go together. Good."

Xian Xun pouted, her eyes were red, her face was full of pride, her expression was exactly the same as that of little Zhou Huawan when she was acting like a spoiled child.

Walking around before death, Zhou Mubai wished he could stick to Shen Xianxun all the time, Xianxun felt sorry for her drinking all night, so he called a girl to help her wash and eat.

With servants around, it can't be too much, Mu Bai calmed down a bit, but his eyes still lingered on her, no matter where Xian Xun went, the light in her eyes followed.

The big girls were all so used to it, they didn't take it seriously, they just smiled and joked occasionally.The little girl has a thin skin, seeing her highness looking at the princess with affection in her eyes, she secretly thought that in the future, she will meet someone who is wholehearted, and she should treat herself just like the highness treats the princess.

After eating, the maids withdrew like a tide.Mu Bai leaned on the couch, holding Xian Xun's hand, drawing circles in her palm bit by bit.

It was a cold spring day, and Xian Xun wore a jacket with peach red and gold silk embroidery, and leaned against the edge of the couch, allowing her to hold hands.

Mu Bai told the ins and outs of being trapped in the palace for the past few days when he returned to Beijing, until he talked about the calendula wine yesterday, and Xian Xun's hand that was held in her hand trembled.Mubai raised his body to embrace her, and fell down on the couch together, knowing that she was afraid, he stroked her back with warm palms from top to bottom, coaxed her for a long while, and then asked: "You said that the emperor's brother made such an arrangement? What do you mean?"

Leaning in her arms, Xian Xun frowned, thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty wanted to trust you, but he had to guard against you; even though he was guarding against you, he still believed in you."

"You mean, Brother Huang deliberately tested me?" Mu Baihuan tightened his arms around his slender waist.

The imperial concubine's couch was not wide enough, and both of them were lying on their sides, stacked into two small shrimps.

"Perhaps." Xian Xun sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has put in so much thought, but there is always a purpose. It won't take long before you know it."

Due to the sudden and long death of Grand Tutor Shen, Zhou Mubai and Shen Xianxun returned to the Shen residence early the next morning, even though they were unable to come back in time for the Hundred Days Ceremony.

Traveling lightly and simply, with only a few personal guards and close maids, the carriage of Wang's Mansion stopped outside the gate of Shen's Mansion.The guards scattered around, driving pedestrians far away.Zhou Mubai got out of the car, turned around and hugged Shen Xianxun himself.

Shen Qixuan's father, son and brother were all dressed in white, and they only greeted each other at the door. When they met each other, they were full of emotion.

The young couple went to burn incense in front of the mourning hall. Zhou Mubai stood in front of the incense table for a long time before he took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote an elegiac couplet with his own hand.Shen Youtang took it with both hands, remembering that when he was a child in Quanqing Palace, he was under the grandfather's knees with the little third prince, and his eyes were red again.

Mu Bai said: "Teacher, the students are back to see you." She arched her hands and bowed deeply.Then she looked at Xian Xun and said softly, "Xun Er, please kowtow to grandpa for me."

Xian Xun nodded with red eyes, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said in her heart: "Grandpa, Mubai is back. Thank you grandpa for blessing her safe return. My granddaughter kowtowed for you on her behalf."

This day, they had a simple lunch in Shen's mansion, and then returned to Prince Rui's mansion, it was almost Shen's time.The carriage of the Prince's Mansion just arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xiaotuanzi ran out like a gust of wind, and said to Mubai, "Your Highness, there is someone in the palace. It's a little eunuch, and the housekeeper is accompanying him."

Mu Bai was holding Xian Xun's hand, hearing this, Xian Xun's hand tightened suddenly, Mu Bai felt it, and patted the back of her hand to show his peace of mind.

She jumped on the carriage and told the coachman to drive the carriage to Yimen.Xian Xun held on to the beads on the window curtain in the car, and took a deep look at her.

Zhou Mubai adjusted his clothes slightly, washed his hands and face with the hot water brought by Xiao Guozi, and walked straight to the front hall.

When I got outside the palace, I saw a young palace man, wearing a light green palace gown, holding a whisk, sitting there drinking tea.

The little eunuch had sharp eyes, and stood up as soon as he saw her, Zhou Mubai knelt down to greet the emperor, the little eunuch smiled and passed the emperor's oral order, and only asked Prince Rui if he was sober, and if so, he should go to court tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow is the imperial court, and it was supposed to go there according to the rules, but Zhou Mubai finally came out of the palace, and after discussing with his father-in-law in Shen's mansion today, he felt that he was sick for a while, and then he found a proper way to leave the palace. The court is good.

Unexpectedly, before the idea was discussed, the emperor had already asked the mansion.

Zhou Mubai waved his followers away, and asked in a low voice, "Does your father-in-law know why the emperor suddenly summoned the lonely king?"

Xiao Gongren's eyeballs rolled around.

Zhou Mubai grew up in the imperial palace since she was a child, and she knows all kinds of light and dark in the palace. She pulled a pendant around her waist and stuffed it into the arms of the little eunuch, with a smile on her face, not revealing anything.

The little palace man held the warm and clear jade pendant, knowing that the prince's pendant must be of great value, he was secretly happy, and lowered his voice: "Thank you for your reward. I don't know why your majesty summoned it, but I just heard it by chance. , Duke Wei is dead, General Wei has entered the palace today, wearing a shackle in his hair, I heard he was tied up by his retainers." He took a step back after saying this, beat a thousand sons, and exited the hall.
