Dote on the harem

Ever since he came back from Fengyi Palace that day, Mu Zishu's spirit was not very good, and the picture of the palace maid dying in peace often appeared in his mind, accompanied by the queen's indifferent words.

He often sat by the window and thought, this is the harem, maybe it is just one side of the harem, and he may experience more in the future.So, is to accept and adapt, or to escape?

He didn't forget the deal with Yuwen Junjue. Yuwen Junjue said that as long as he could give birth to a child, he would grant him a request. He didn't forget that he was looking for a quiet place to leave the palace in the future I only agreed to live a leisurely life.

Now, should he hope that the child will be born soon, and then find Yuwen Junjue to honor the deal?This is his original intention!

However, since he was a child, there was only the nurse in his world. After entering the palace, his world was gradually filled by Yuwen Junjue. If he could really leave the palace, the child must be left to Yuwen Junjue. What else is there in the world?

I still can't bear to part with that person, even though others say he is heartless and heartless.

But what does that person think of him?Really careless?The cruel battle in the harem is not something he can control. Even if he plays Go carefully, he will eventually lose, not to mention the cruel means in reality.

Thinking about it, Mu Zishu suddenly smiled wryly. He really thought too far. In this harem, whether the child can be born safely is still a problem.

Mu Zishu couldn't get much energy these few days, and even playing chess with Yuwen Junjue at night was lacking in interest.In this regard, Yuwen Junjue asked Suoxi to investigate the matter of Fengyi Palace that day, and the result, it can be said that Yuwen Junjue was very disappointed, and was very disappointed with Mu Zishu.

As a generation of emperors, Yuwen Junjue was opposed by some unwilling brothers even though he was favored by the first emperor and left a will.In order to protect himself and his younger brother, he had killed quite a few people. Like most emperors, he was used to seeing blood.

The last time Mu Zishu was chased and killed outside the palace, and later attacked at night, Yuwen Junjue admired the calmness he showed afterwards.This time, because of the death of a court lady, Yuwen Junjue feels very disappointed!In his eyes, although Mu Zishu is as gentle as water and even a little aloof from the world, he shouldn't be the kind of person who hurts the spring and the autumn.

Sad spring and autumn, just like those women in the harem, made him feel bored, so he lost the interest to comfort him.

The relationship between the two gradually became a little dangerous, and Mu Zishu faintly felt it, but he was at a loss what to do.

Five days later, the empress presided over the sweet-scented osmanthus dinner in the imperial garden, and Yuwen Junjue was not absent because it was a rare invitation from the harem.

As usual, Yuwen Junjue sat on his throne, and the other concubines sat in two rows at the head of the emperor.Because Mu Zishu and Concubine Xuan are pregnant with the dragon species, they sit closer to the front, next to the queen in the left row of the throne, and the right row is headed by Concubine Wen Gui.

Since it is an osmanthus banquet, in addition to the osmanthus tree in the imperial garden, the osmanthus cake and osmanthus wine on the table are also indispensable.The autumn night is slightly cool, and the strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafts in the autumn wind, which is refreshing.

But this taste is not very pleasant for Mu Zishu and Concubine Xuan who are pregnant.

Concubine Xuan is fine, although she is in the stage of nausea, but she is a martial arts practitioner after all, at least she has internal strength to help her not lose her composure.

Mu Zishu has been in a bad state of mind recently, and his relationship with Yuwen Junjue is not very ideal, and he hasn't had a good meal for a long time, and he doesn't have much appetite at this time.Smelling such a strong aroma made my stomach feel nauseous, so I had to focus on those light dishes.

The dinner had just started, and the empress was the first to toast the emperor, and said softly and generously: "The emperor has not been with us for a long time, the sisters miss the emperor very much, and the concubines are only toasting the emperor on behalf of the sisters."

The reason why Yuwen Junjue came to participate in the sweet-scented osmanthus banquet prepared by the harem was also to relax his mind. Recently, the atmosphere in Qingyue Palace always made him involuntarily annoyed, so he accepted the queen's toast at this time.

"The queen has a heart."

Although Yuwen Junjue was expressionless, the concubines could see that the emperor was in a good mood, and they all stood up to toast the emperor, expressing their miss.

For a time, the dinner was full of warmth and harmony.

The queen glanced at Mu Zishu and Concubine Xuan, got up and picked up the wine pot, with a gentle look, said: "Mr. Without expressing anything, I will take this opportunity to offer a toast to both of you."

With that said, the queen poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine for Mu Zishu and Concubine Xuan.It is said that the emperor has already rewarded, everyone knows that the emperor only rewarded Concubine Xuan.The queen did not know whether she said this on purpose or not.

Concubine Xuan smiled coquettishly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "Thank you, sister queen, for your kindness."

With so many people present, Mu Zishu naturally wouldn't take the Queen's kindness into consideration and get up to pick up the wine glass.

"Zishu thanked the queen."

I don't know if it's because my hands are slippery or I've been thinking too much recently and I'm in a trance. Before the wine glass in my hand touched my lips, it suddenly fell down without warning, and the wine stained my clothes in an instant, and the wine glass fell on the table. Make a 'clang' sound.

There was a sudden silence during the banquet, all eyes fell on Mu Zishu, with ridicule, disdain, and bewilderment...

Yuwen Junjue frowned impatiently at Mu Zishu's distraught look.

Suddenly, there was another 'Boom! ' sound, on the throne, the emperor's wine glass was suddenly placed heavily on the table, and the emperor's face was also cloudy.

Mu Zishu came back to his senses and looked at Yuwen Junjue who was sitting on the throne, but Yuwen Junjue didn't look at him, just picked up the wine glass with a gloomy face and continued to drink.

"Sorry, Zishu was rude."

After Mu Zishu apologized to the queen who was pouring wine for him, he sat back on his seat in a daze, and looked at the dishes in front of him without knowing what he was thinking, regardless of his clothes soaked in wine.

The queen saw that the emperor was angry, so she didn't dare to say anything, she just said: "It's okay, Mr. Mu worked hard while pregnant, and it wasn't intentional."

As soon as the emperor got angry, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became a little heavy.

Yuwen Junjue sat on the throne and drank alone, regardless of what happened to the concubine below.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Mr. Mu is just tired. After all, he is pregnant." The queen interceded for Mu Zishu with a smile on her face. Seeing that the emperor was not disgusted, she said, "My concubine is thinking of Mr. Mu and Xuan. The concubine's younger sister is pregnant and it's inconvenient to go to bed, and the harem is full of old people, so the emperor can't help but feel uninterested. It just so happens that the concubine's cousin came to the palace to accompany the minister and concubine a few days ago, and had the honor to meet the emperor Longyan. I really admire the emperor, and begged my concubine to recommend her for her."

As soon as the Queen's words came out, the concubines present were not happy, and they had a lot of opinions on the Queen in their hearts.It turns out that the queen made this sweet-scented osmanthus feast to recommend her family to the emperor!The concubine who originally wanted to take this opportunity to win the emperor's mercy suddenly lost her chance, and secretly clenched her hands.

The queen didn't care what the concubines were thinking, seeing that the emperor had no intention of objecting, she asked the maid to bring them here.

After a while, the queen's cousin was brought over, apparently well prepared.

The queen smiled and led her cousin to the front of the throne, and patted her hand affectionately, "Your Majesty, this is my concubine's cousin Zhuang Zhifu. Zhifu has never met the emperor."

Zhuang Zhifu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was petite and lovely, and her face was extremely beautiful, no less than any concubine.The concubines and concubines in the harem are almost all over twenty, and those who haven't passed are already hovering around the edge of twenty. Age is always a woman's biggest enemy.This Zhuang Zhifu is young and a beauty, so naturally she has great advantages.

"The daughter of the people, Zhuang Zhifu, sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe!"

Zhuang Zhifu was still young, her brows were a little green and immature, she was shy and cute, but her appearance was lovable.

Yuwen Junjue glanced indifferently, and said without audible emotion: "Since it is recommended by the queen, I don't want to spoil the queen's kindness. I will confer the title of concubine and give it to the Furong Pavilion."

The queen didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Zhuang Zhifu to kowtow for her kindness.

Afterwards, Zhuang Zhifu was taken to Furong Pavilion by the maid.Generally, concubines who are enshrined will take a bath and prepare first, waiting for the emperor's favor.

Mu Zishu couldn't tell whether Yuwen Junjue was happy or not. He was an emperor, so it was normal for him to make a concubine casually.Mu Zishu didn't think he was a jealous person, but he didn't get along well with Yuwen Junjue these few days, and seeing him accepting his concubine again, he still felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Compared to Mu Zishu, the rest of the concubines are feeling ruthless, one queen is not enough, so they have to get a helper!

There were also people who secretly laughed at the Queen for not being capable enough, for fear of being robbed of her successor, she actually pinned her hopes on a little girl, which is really ridiculous.This person, without a doubt, is Concubine Wen Gui.

Yuwen Junjue drank a glass of wine for the last time, glanced at the concubines present, and then at Mu Zishu, who had no energy, feeling inexplicably irritable, all of them were annoying!

So, Yuwen Junjue put down his wine glass, left all the concubines expressionlessly and left alone.

Suoxi thought it would be enough to have the queen here, and quickly followed in the footsteps of the emperor.

Because of what happened just now, the queen was in a very good mood at this time, and comforted everyone: "Sisters, don't be restrained. The emperor has just accepted a concubine, so there must be something to do."

Have something to do?do what?Everyone knew the meaning of the queen's words, so they were even more unhappy.

As the night gradually deepened, Suoxi caught up with Yuwen Junjue and walked behind him unhurriedly.

"The emperor is going to Furong Pavilion?"

"Little girl, if Suoxi likes it, I will give it to you."

The corner of Suoxi's eyes twitched, he didn't dare to accept the 20-year gap...

"The emperor is returning to Qingyue Palace?"

"Back?" Yuwen Junjue snorted coldly, "I've been listless all day, I'm tired, go back to Huanglan Palace!"

Suo Xi was stunned. Although he also noticed that the atmosphere between the emperor and the son was not very good these days, he always thought that the emperor was serious to the son and nothing would happen. Did he guess wrong?

To avoid making Yuwen Junjue angry, Suoxi no longer mentioned Mu Zishu.

"Yes, the emperor didn't eat much, the villain will prepare some dinner for the emperor later."

Yuwen Junjue responded, walked a few steps, seemed to think of something, and suddenly slowed down.

"Send a few more shadow guards to the Qingyue Palace, so as to protect them."

The corner of Suoxi's mouth twitched, and he responded quickly.Your majesty...you are so tired...

It was autumn, the night was cool and dew heavy, and the front hall of Qingyue Palace was still brightly lit.

Mu Zishu sat on the soft couch, reading by candlelight, looking out the door from time to time.

The two court ladies accompanied them. Although they didn't go to the osmanthus dinner just now, they were aware of the atmosphere between the emperor and the prince.It is said that the emperor is ruthless and heartless, so why bother, son.

"Young master, it's time, the emperor... I'm afraid the emperor won't come, you'd better rest earlier."

Mu Zishu looked out the door, looking a little tired, he responded lightly, put down the book in his hand, got up and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

As soon as he reached the door, Mu Zishu stopped and asked in a daze, "Did I do something wrong recently?"

The two maids felt pain in their hearts. It is common for a new generation to replace an old one in the harem. Why did they do something wrong?

Wen Lan looked at her young master's exhausted expression, and said angrily: "Young master, did you do anything wrong? Wen Lan doesn't know, but young master has been in a trance these days and can't keep up his spirits. The slaves feel that the atmosphere in Qingyue Hall is a bit depressing. , the emperor is afraid that he will also be troubled by looking at it!"

Mu Zishu was taken aback, had he been in a trance recently?Upset that person?

Wen Lan saw that Young Master did not reprimand her, so she boldly continued: "Earlier, the slaves told Young Master that those in the harem are not easy to mess with, and death is a common occurrence. Even if Young Master didn't know it before, it should be the case now. I understand, the harem is a place where the weak prey on the strong, if you can't get used to it and don't know how to fight back, the little prince in your womb may not be safe."

Wenmei didn't stop Wenlan this time, she also persuaded: "Young master often warns the servants that the emperor is not your emperor alone. Since the young master is clear, for the sake of the little prince, the young master should cheer up and deal with the queen and the others."

Not blaming the two court ladies for committing crimes, Mu Zishu put his hands on his slightly protruding belly, lowered his eyes, and said softly like a sigh: "I see."

He understands everything, how could he not understand?The harem is like a battlefield. He has heard this sentence more than once. He has not let down his vigilance, and it is not unacceptable, but it seems that he is still expecting something subconsciously.

what to expectAre you looking forward to the phrase "weak water, three thousand, just take one scoop?"Mu Zishu laughed at himself in his heart, what kind of weak water only takes one scoop for three thousand, in this deep palace there are just new generations replacing old ones, you should wake up.

After sorting out his thoughts, Mu Zishu walked towards the dormitory, covering his lower abdomen with his hands, and sighed softly in his heart: "Imperial son, your father has a new favorite. From now on, father will protect you. Maybe from now on, father will only have you." .
