my princess boy

Physician Kong came to ask for pulse, and finally confirmed that Mu Xianyi had recovered - it was miraculous that at this time the epidemic had not infected anyone other than Mu Xianyi and Baohan.

Now that Mu Xianyi has recovered, and Baohan is almost healed, this further proves that Mu Xianyi is not the "catastrophe" that Huang Yuzhen predicted earlier.

Once it was confirmed that he had recovered, Mu Xianyi couldn't wait to hand over the sign and enter the palace. He knew that his mother and concubine must be in a hurry, so he had to go to the palace to meet her and comfort her.

"I will go with the princess."

Mu Xianyi, who was dressing up, raised her head and saw Ling Xuetang's slender figure reflected in the mirror, she turned her head to look at him in surprise: "But isn't the son-in-law going to inspect the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing today with the adults from the Ministry of War?"

This matter has been arranged a long time ago, Mu Xianyi was still worried yesterday, should he open his mouth to invite Ling Xuetang into the palace together!

"It's okay, I'll let Han Yu and Yanguan go for me." Ling Xuetang walked a few steps closer and looked at him condescendingly, "I am married to the princess, and I haven't entered the palace with the princess to meet the concubine Chen, so today I will go to the palace together. go."

A bright smile immediately appeared on Mu Xianyi's delicate face, and his big eyes sparkled: "Okay."

His son-in-law is really getting better and better!

The couple entered the palace together.

Walking to the Zixi Gate, inside is the inner court harem, and the carriage cannot enter, so one has to get out of the carriage and walk, so Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang walked together to the Changxin Palace of Concubine Chen.

It was just after the time of day, and the autumn rains have been pattering for the past few days, but today is a rare clearing. The red palace against a line of blue sky stretches straight along the road.As soon as the two of them passed Yihua Palace, they saw a woman Pingting coming from a distance, followed by a team of servants and inner eunuchs.

Mu Xianyi's face, which was still smiling a moment ago, suddenly turned a little cold - it was Nankang princess Mu Wanxin who came.

"I heard that Jin Cheng's sister is recovering, so my sister is finally at ease." Mu Wanxin stood in front of the two, with a smile on her delicate and gentle face, "I heard that my sister had the epidemic earlier, and my sister wanted to visit her very much. , Who would have thought that the emperor ordered that no one is allowed to visit, so..."

From what she said, Mu Xianyi knew that she wanted to sow discord between him and his father, and even hypocritically said that he would come to visit him. I'm afraid he regretted that he had the epidemic and was still alive, right?

He also smiled and said: "Don't worry about Nankang sister, the son-in-law has always been by my side to take care of me meticulously, and there is really no need for anyone else."

"Oh——" Princess Nankang elongated her voice slightly, raised her eyes to Ling Xuetang who was standing by the side, her eyes fluttered, then she turned back and smiled at Mu Xianyi, "Sister Jincheng is really lucky. Chasing and holding her, and having a son-in-law who takes care of her faithfully, is really the most popular among our princesses."

Hearing this, Mu Xianyi became furious, thinking that this woman is really vicious, she even insinuated herself for being indiscreet, and even used Jiang Guangxi's matter to upset her son-in-law, what a sinister intention!

He was about to snatch Bai back, but he heard Ling Xuetang beside him say:

"Xian'er looks like a celestial being, has outstanding talents, and is also the golden branch and jade leaf of the concubine Chen. It is only natural that she should be a "gentle lady, a gentleman is good". Xuetang is not talented. To marry such a wife, she must be cared for and loved in every possible way. "

His words emphasized that Mu Xianyi's outstanding talent attracted Jiang Guangxi's pursuit, not that Mu Xianyi was ignorant and merciful, and deliberately said that Mu Xianyi was "the golden branch and jade leaf of the concubine Chen", not the golden branch and jade leaf of His Majesty. Naturally, it is to ridicule the low status of Princess Nankang's mother and concubine.

Princess Nankang on the opposite side heard it, and she couldn't maintain her complacent look any longer, she smiled reluctantly and said: "What the son-in-law said is true...but." The two left a thorn in their hearts, "I heard that after sister Jincheng fell ill, Young Master Jiang became very anxious and fell ill as well. This true feeling, even a bystander like me will be moved when he hears it." ah!"

She slightly curled the corners of her lips, with a hint of sneer and malice in her eyes, and said a few words of farewell, then Shi Shiran brushed Mu Xianyi's shoulder and walked away.

Mu Xianyi was taken aback, surprised in his heart - he didn't know anything about Jiang Guangxi, did he?

Even Nankang knows about it, so it must have spread to everyone outside, right?

Could it be... He looked at Ling Xuetang who was beside him, did the son-in-law deliberately keep him from knowing about this?

That son-in-law... what was he thinking?

The two arrived at Concubine Chen's Changxin Palace, Concubine Chen was already waiting for them——

"The sons and ministers see the mother and concubine."

"My minister sees the concubine Chen."

"Get up quickly." Concubine Chen couldn't sit still for a long time, and her dignified and beautiful face showed excitement and joy. She walked over to support her son, and the ring around her body made a tinkling sound, "Xian'er, you are clear many..."

Mu Xianyi looked at the slightly haggard oval face of his mother and concubine, and was a little moved, but he was afraid that Concubine Chen would feel even more uncomfortable seeing her, so he smiled: "It's only natural to get rid of illness, my son You are still young, eat more, and you will soon make up for it, don't you think, Concubine Mu?"

"Yes, yes, the most important thing is that you are safe and sound." Concubine Chen looked at him lovingly, and stretched out her hand to brush away the hair on her sideburns for him. Dressing up as a woman, she still suffers from this kind of disease. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn red, and murmured, "It's good that you're fine, mother and concubine don't expect anything, I just hope you are safe and healthy."

"I know, I know." Mu Xianyi naturally understood the painstaking efforts of his mother and concubine - if he was expected to fight for power and profit, he wouldn't have been asked to dress up as a woman for so many years.

In order to prevent his mother and concubine from being sad again, Mu Xianyi changed the topic, raised his face at Concubine Chen, and said: "It is also thanks to the son-in-law who takes care of the son-in-law and the son-in-law. If it is not for the son-in-law, the son-in-law would almost die .”

Concubine Chen also came to her senses, looked at Ling Xuetang who was standing by the side, with a grateful expression on her face: "The son-in-law has worked hard, and I also know that the son-in-law has done a lot for Xian'er, if it wasn't for the son-in-law, Xianer would definitely be fierce this time." More good luck, son-in-law..."

Ling Xuetang clasped her fists and said, "These are what a humble official should do, you don't have to be polite, empress."

When Concubine Chen heard this, she looked at him with apricot eyes, sized him up, but stopped talking.

Mu Xianyi looked at her suspiciously, then exchanged glances with Ling Xuetang, and was about to ask, but saw Concubine Chen turn around leisurely, walk slowly to the upper seat, and was supported by Lin Lang to sit down.

She seemed to be thinking, her elegant and well-maintained face was a little dignified.Finally, she raised her eyelids, looked at the young couple, and said, "I heard a rumor recently."

"Rumor, what rumor?" Mu Xianyi asked suspiciously.

Concubine Chen took a look at Ling Xuetang, and tightly pinched the veil in her hand with fingers like water onions: "There are rumors that His Majesty intends to bestow Xuetang with a title."

Mu Xianyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of the key point, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he turned his head and glanced at Ling Xuetang, who was beside him with a suddenly solemn expression, his whole body trembled, then hurriedly looked at his mother and concubine, and asked excitedly Said: "Father, is this going to remove, remove the real power of the general who is the son-in-law?"

Others may not know how honorable it is to confer a knighthood, but for the royal relatives, it is definitely not a good thing to confer a knighthood - after the knighthood is bestowed, the real power will be taken back, and the honor of the knighthood will be taken back. No official position.

For a general like Ling Xuetang who fought on the battlefield, let him be a mediocre rich idler at a young age, not let him go to the battlefield, or even let him go to the barracks, how big a blow should this be to him? !

Concubine Chen nodded and lowered her voice slightly: "Xian'er, Xuetang, you should also know that the Lou family of this palace is not small, my father is a privy envoy, and the wealth of your Ling family naturally Needless to say, Xuetang, if you were a powerful general, how much fear would your Majesty fear if the Lou family united with the Ling family?"

The privy envoys and the prime minister have equal rights, the prime minister is in charge of the government, and the privy is in charge of the soldiers, with great power.The Privy Council is in charge of army mobilization and border military affairs. In order to prevent the Privy Council from arrogating power, it is generally held by civil servants. Lou Xiangli is a civil servant, but the problem is that Ling Xuetang is a general and has military power in his hands. If he joins forces with the Lou family, the army will Scheduling and commanding are all mastered, which is naturally a great hidden danger for the emperor!

I think the emperor had already thought of this when he agreed to marry Ling Xuetang with Mu Xianyi, but he was afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo would have an opinion and he would not want to marry Mu Xianyi after knowing it, so he deliberately left it for later. Ling Jiyuan and Ling Xuetang won't have much objection to this order of bestowing a nobility.

In the final analysis, it was Mu Xianyi who didn't think carefully at the time, which hurt Ling Xuetang.

These thoughts circled in Mu Xianyi's mind, and he couldn't help being anxious: "But both Xuetang and Grandfather are loyal to their father, how could they have two hearts?"

Concubine Chen pursed the corners of her lips tightly, her gaze was heavy: "The emperor is suspicious, no matter how loyal the Lou family and Ling family are, he will still be afraid. Loyalty today does not mean loyalty tomorrow. The best solution is to eliminate this hidden danger. Remove it completely."

As she spoke, she slightly covered her lips with a veil, and her eyes fell directly on Ling Xuetang's face: "Also, it's not impossible to remove your grandfather as a privy envoy, but your grandfather never made a mistake, and he didn't do so for no reason. Will be dismissed..."

"But the son-in-law is still so young, how can he be that rich and idle person..." Mu Xianyi wanted to distinguish again, but Ling Xuetang at the side reached out and grabbed him, saying:

"Forget it, princess."

Mu Xianyi turned around with red eyes, looking at his handsome, delicate and calm face: "How can we just forget it..."

Since ancient times, a beauty is like a famous general, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.Ling Xuetang is now in the prime of life, but deprives him of his lifelong ambition to serve in the army. How can such a cruel thing be forgotten?

What's more, this matter was caused by him, if he hadn't insisted on marrying him, he wouldn't have suffered such a disaster.

For a moment, he was anxious and angry, guilty and anxious, and actually shed tears at Ling Xuetang: "I hurt you..."

Ling Xuetang slightly hooked her lips, showing a little helpless expression, and reached out to wipe away his tears: "Little fool."
