The Princess of the Red Chamber

Chapter 53

"After you left, a lot of things happened..." The Queen looked at Mo Xiao, sighed, and recounted the events of the past few years.

After listening to the Queen's words, Mo Xiao frowned slightly. She did not expect that Ulanara Shuya would assassinate Yinhu. What she was worried about all those years ago actually happened.

Gossip and gossip are not sharp swords, but they hurt people more than sharp swords. Ulanarashuya thinks that Yinzhen is hooking and seducing Yinzhen, and she is risking her life to get rid of this evil for Yinzhen, even at the expense of her own life.

In the end, it was naturally a failure. Ulanara was stabbed to death by Yinzhen with a sword, Fei Yanggu was demoted, Kangxi was furious, and dealt with a group of people who spoke lies, but still did not stop Yinzhen from leaving, but Yinhu moved Yinzhen's palace, Lama Temple, has entered into the circle of himself, and has never stepped out of the gate of the palace until today.

Yinhu obviously felt that he relied too much on Yinzhen, causing people to misunderstand him, causing such great harm to Yinzhen, and felt guilty in his heart. However, the real reason why Yinzhen left was not to be hurt by this incident, but to seek Taoism Immortal.

Yinzhen has always been a firm-willed person. Since he is interested in cultivating immortals, he naturally pursues them hard. When Si Ye and Mo Xiao are away, he goes to look for them, but now he doesn't know which deep mountain he has gone to.

"Emiang, you don't have to worry, Xiao Si is not weak in martial arts, so nothing will happen." Mo Xiao looked at the queen and comforted him.

"The most worried thing is Concubine Tong. Ever since Yinzhen left home, Concubine Tong's body has become weaker day by day, and she doesn't know when Xiaosi will come back." The queen said with a sigh. Concubine Tong's parent and son were raised by Concubine Tong from birth, and Yudie was also recorded in Concubine Tong's name. The relationship between mother and son is also good. When Concubine Yin leaves, Concubine Tong is naturally heartbroken. The body is getting weaker and weaker.

"I'll go see her later." Mo Xiao said.

"Alright." The queen nodded.

After the queen talked about what happened in the Forbidden City in the past few years, she also wanted to hear how Mo Xiao spent the past few years outside.

Mo Xiao wanted to say, but he has been cultivating in the suburbs all these years, how should he put it, he looked at Si Ye for help.

"Xiao'er is in a hurry to come back. I haven't eaten in the morning. I'm afraid she's hungry now. Why don't we let her finish eating?" Si Ye walked behind Mo Xiao, looked at the queen and said.

"Didn't eat breakfast?" The queen looked at Mo Xiao with some distress, and then ordered people to prepare lunch immediately. Although the meal didn't arrive, her daughter was hungry.

The food in the palace is always so exquisite, the long-lost family reunion, at the dinner table Mo Xiao looked at Hongxi frequently, Hongxi was also flirting with Mo Xiao, watching Mo Xiao wished he could hold him in his arms and kiss him, but Si Ye couldn’t Agreed, so Mo Xiao just looked at it, passed his eye addiction, and didn't reach out to hug it.

"Eldest sister likes Hongxi so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself, and you can't just have a child just to enjoy the world of two people." Cheng Rui looked at Mo Xiao and said.

After hearing Cheng Rui's words, Mo Xiao was slightly taken aback for a moment, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, he couldn't say that she couldn't give birth now.

Seeing that Mo Xiao's face changed, Cheng Rui suddenly thought of something, and wanted to ask, but now he didn't know how to ask.

"Xiao'er, is there something wrong with your body?" The queen put down her chopsticks, looked at Mo Xiao and asked worriedly.

"Emiang, my body is fine, I just don't want to have a child for the time being." Mo Xiao looked at the queen and comforted her.

The queen looked at Mo Xiao with doubts on her face: "Why don't you want a child?"

"It's not about Xiao'er, I don't want it." Si Ye looked at the queen and said.

"What do you mean?" Before the queen could speak, Kangxi who was next to the queen shouted. Although he knew that Si Ye was of high status, he couldn't bully his daughter like this. Isn't Xiao'er worthy of his child?

Si Ye glanced at Kangxi and said calmly, "I don't need one more person to grab my laugh."

Kangxi and the empress stood up in shock, looking at Si Yejie who had already domineeringly put his arms around Mo Xiao's waist, with an expression of disbelief, what does this mean, what does this mean?

"Ahem, Ama, Erniang, don't be angry, sit down first." Mo Xiao looked at the queen and Kangxi and said.

"No, Xiaoer, what does he mean by that?" Kangxi looked at Mo Xiao and said with a slight frown.

"It means that I don't like others trying to grab Xiao'er from me, even if that person is my son. Of course, I don't like you either. You always make Xiao'er worry about you." Si Ye said coldly.

"Si Ye, stop talking." Mo Xiao hastily reached out his hand to cover Si Ye's mouth, lest he tell more hurtful truths.

"What do you mean by that, don't think that I dare not beat you because you are so powerful, the eldest sister is the daughter of Huang Ama and Huang Erniang first, but our eldest sister, and finally your daughter-in-law, can you figure out the order? ?" The irritable Yinfeng slapped the table and yelled at Si Ye, apparently displeased with Si Ye's words.

"Okay, Yinyi, don't be angry, don't be angry, you know your brother-in-law can't talk, don't argue with him." Mo Xiao looked at the irritable Yinyi who wanted to fight with Si Ye and quickly comforted, no She was afraid that Yinzhen would beat Si Ye, but she was worried that Si Ye would beat Bian Yinfeng.

Although Si Ye's words were not pleasant, it was certain that Si Ye really loved Mo Xiao, otherwise he wouldn't have worried that the child would rob Mo Xiao from him instead of having a child.But it's okay for a woman to have no children, so the queen still asked the two of them to have children as soon as possible.

Si Ye wanted not to agree, but Mo Xiao signaled him to agree first, as for how to do it is their own business.

It was supposed to be a happy reunion dinner, but it was because Si Ye was upset, but the person concerned did not feel guilty at all, and still served Mo Xiao food coldly.

Hongxi was really drunk seeing Si Ye who was so shameless, he was even more shameless than him, no wonder he was able to catch up with his wife, he should learn a little bit.

After Si Ye and Mo Xiao left, Cheng Rui carried Hong Xi in his arms, and went back to Yuqing Palace with Lan Ruo.

Along the way, Lan Ruo followed Chengrui quietly, absent-mindedly, and didn't even know Chengrui had stopped, so she bumped straight into Chengrui.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the concubine didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me, Your Highness." Lan Ruo knelt down in a panic and said.

"What are you doing, get up quickly." Cheng Rui looked at Lan Ruo who was kneeling, and quickly reached out to grab her hand, pulling her up.

Seeing Lan Ruo with a gloomy face, Cheng Rui asked with some doubts: "What's the matter, I was absent-minded when I came out of Kunning Palace, and I didn't answer when I talked to you."

"Sorry, it's the concubine's fault." Lan Ruo looked up at Chengrui and said apologetically.

"Let's talk when we go back." Chengrui took a look at Lan Ruo, hugged Hongxi with one hand, and led Lan Ruo with the other, and went back to Yuqing Palace in such an aboveboard show of affection, envious of the court ladies not far away.

After returning to Yuqing Palace, he put Hongxi down and let him go to review his homework, Chengrui dragged Lan Ruo back to his room.

"You're not happy." Cheng Rui looked at Lan Ruo and said affirmatively.

"Your Highness joked, and the concubine is not unhappy." Lan Ruo looked at Chengrui and smiled, but the smile seemed forced.

Chengrui looked at Lan Ruo who was laughing forcefully, took her hand and sat on the soft couch, and asked with some doubts: "Why are you unhappy? Is it because the eldest sister is back?"

Apart from this reason, Cheng Rui couldn't think of anything else. After all, the biggest thing that happened today was the elder sister's return, but Lan Ruo was not happy when the elder sister came back, and Cheng Rui didn't quite understand.

"The concubine is not unhappy because His Highness the eldest princess is back." Lan Ruo immediately shook her head in denial.

"Then tell me, why are you unhappy?" Cheng Rui asked.

Lan Ruo looked up at Chengrui, with a trace of pain between her brows, she said with a bit of sourness in her heart: "Except for Hongxi, I have not given birth to your Highness in recent years."

"Are you worried about this?" Cheng Rui asked, staring into Lan Ruo's eyes.

Lan Ruo looked at Chengrui and nodded, "It's the concubine who is selfish. She can no longer do anything for His Highness, but she still keeps preventing the Queen Mother from accepting a side concubine for His Highness."

Chengrui stretched out his hand, hugged Lan Ruo and sat in his arms, looked into her moist eyes and said, "Do you really think that you are the one who stopped Queen Empress from accepting my side concubine?"

Lan Ruo looked at Chengrui with a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if asking, isn't it?

Of course not, the empress will take Lan Ruo into consideration, but she cares more about her grandson. In recent years, although Fu Jin of Yinyi gave birth to two daughters one after another, she is now pregnant again. According to the imperial physician, it is a boy, so the empress is naturally very happy Happy.But the queen cared more about Chengrui's child. After all, Prince Chengrui only had one child, so it must be impossible.The queen wanted Cheng Ruo to be a side concubine, but Lan Ruo was not happy, and Cheng Rui didn't allow it. Cheng Rui felt that the reason why Lan Ruo didn't get pregnant was no longer Lan Ruo but him.

Mo Xiao mentioned before that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is for heirs to become heirs. It has been a long time, but he just ignored it. However, when he asked Mo Xiao today, he suddenly thought of this point, so he didn't continue to ask.

Although he has been busy with government affairs in the past few years, Chengrui has not neglected his cultivation. Although his cultivation speed is not as fast as that of Yinzhen, it is not bad, probably because the life liquid that Mo Xiao gave him at the beginning had an effect.

"It's my own idea not to accept the side concubine. It has nothing to do with you. There is no need to blame yourself." Cheng Rui said.

"But His Highness never mentioned it." Lan Ruo said.

Chengrui touched Lan Ruo's face and said: "It's not a big deal, it's okay not to talk about it, but now it seems that you care about this matter very much, and it's my fault."

"It's the concubine's fault." Lan Ruo said.

"Don't ask who is bad anymore. I just want to tell you that you are very good. I am enough with you alone. If there are too many women, it will cause me more trouble. As for the children, just follow the fate and don't force it You don’t have to blame yourself.” Chengrui looked at Lan Ruo with a trace of tenderness in her eyes, this woman is very good, five years is enough for him to see a person clearly, Lan Ruo is a good woman who is as good as she looks, she has always done a good job Well, whether it's to him, to Hongxi, or to Huang Erniang.

"Your Highness." Lan Ruo looked at Cheng Rui, feeling very surprised in her heart, the tears that were about to fall instantly broke through the barrier of the eyelashes, crystal clear, like scattered pearls, extremely beautiful.

"I'm sorry for keeping you in a state of anxiety." Cheng Rui sighed, and hugged him tightly. Lan Ruo also wrapped her arms around Cheng Rui's neck, leaning her face on his shoulder, weeping silently, I don't know if it's moving, or to vent out the anxiety of these years, or both.

Chengrui didn't accept the side concubine, on the one hand, because of Mo Xiao's perennial influence, and on the other hand, because he was busy with government affairs during the day, practicing at night, and warming his daughter-in-law's bed, so how could he have time to ask for other things? A woman, so Lan Ruo alone is enough.

The queen also understands Chengrui's temperament. Although she hopes that Chengruina's side concubine will flourish, she can't force her son, because Chengrui doesn't want it, so she can't blame Lan Ruo. Of course, it's also because of these things Kangxi always stayed overnight at Kunning Palace, and the women in the harem became decorations. Because of this, the current queen is no longer magnanimous, and she doesn't want Kangxi to stay overnight with other concubines. Going to sit and sit, the Queen's heart is not feeling well, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, so she didn't blame Lan Ruo, and could only hope that Hongxi would give her more great-grandchildren in the future.

Hongxi didn't know what the queen was thinking, and was wondering if her daughter-in-law had already passed into the world.
