The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 155: Curtain Red Makeup (4)

When Concubine Zhen was having a difficult labor, the emperor himself said that as long as Concubine Zhen could live safely, the word that he wished to shorten his life by 20 years was spread instantly. No one dared to despise Xia Lanyue because of her background as a palace maid.

On the contrary, it was the matter of the emperor's appointment of the third prince as the crown prince that caused a stir in the court. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were surprisingly unified this time and categorically opposed the emperor's appointment of the third prince as the prince, including the Queen Mother.

There was a lot of noise about the establishment of the crown prince, and everyone ignored it. Shi Jingrou, who had been imprisoned for half a year, also gave birth to a prince in the Lanting Water Pavilion, but no one cared about it.

The Lanting Waterside Pavilion is surrounded by lush forests, surrounded by water outside the forest, it is extremely quiet, the sun after the rain is extremely glaring, Mu Piaoyu came to the Lanting Waterside Pavilion slowly after getting off the morning court, the two guards outside immediately blocked his way: "Palace In the forbidden area, idlers are not allowed to enter."

The guards next to Mu Piaoyu looked angry, and took out their badges from their waists and put them in front of them: "You dare to block the way of General Sima, Mu Piaoyu, you don't want your head!"

The two guards immediately put away the sabers around their waists, and retreated respectfully to both sides. Mu Piaoyu walked in without saying a word, and happened to meet Lilac who was going out to fetch water. When she saw Mu Piaoyu, she immediately said happily: "Mu Piaoyu General, why are you here?"

"Come and see the imperial concubine." Mu Piaoyu replied in a calm voice, but it caused Ding Xiang's eyes to blush.

Ding Xiang felt aggrieved and said: "Thanks to your help last night, General Mu, the imperial concubine and empress can be safe for mother and child."

Mu Piaoyu looked at Ding Xiang holding back tears, and hooked the corner of his mouth: "Is it the prince?"

Ding Xiang nodded: "It's a pity that the entire palace is celebrating the prince born to the concubine Zhen, but no one cares about the prince born to the concubine...Only you, the general, will come and take a look."

"Take me to see the imperial concubine and the little prince."

Ding Xiang immediately put down the washbasin in her hand, and led Mu Piaoyu into the room. The room was extremely quiet, only the shallow breathing mixed with the summer heat lingered.Mu Piaoyu stood still behind a screen in the room, and could vaguely see the two people lying on the bed.

"Mother, General Mu is here to visit you." Ding Xiang reported in a soft voice, afraid of disturbing the sleeping child.

Shi Jingrou, who just closed her eyes for a nap, slowly opened them, and looked at the proud and tall figure through the screen. At this moment, she completely lost the arrogance she had when she entered and left the palace. Her pale face showed weakness, and her eyes were no longer radiant. .She looked at the figure, and smiled slightly: "The great general Sima, who is so powerful in the government, will come to see a concubine who is imprisoned. The world is cold and warm, and only you can send charcoal in a timely manner... If the Japanese palace can leave this Lanting and Water Pavilion one day, it will definitely be... Don't forget the general's kindness."

Standing in front of the screen, Mu Piaoyu, listening to Shi Jingrou's soft and self-deprecating tone, suddenly felt that the woman in front of her had completely changed. She was no longer the savage and selfish princess she used to be, but an ordinary woman. She also had weaknesses. I will also mourn myself.

He whispered: "The noble concubine has a noble status, and now she has given birth to the fourth prince, it is only a matter of time before she leaves this Lanting and Water Pavilion."

"Perhaps the emperor has long forgotten that there is another Shi Jingrou in the Lanting Waterside Pavilion. He only has that lowly servant girl Xia Lanyue in his eyes." Although Shi Jingrou's words were sharp, her tone was clear and gentle: "Our mother and son walked through the gate of hell last night. , but the emperor doesn't care at all, even if I leave this Lanting Water Pavilion, I will always be inferior to Xia Lanyue, so why should I leave here?"

Speaking of this, Shi Jingrou slowly got up from the bed, Ding Xiang immediately stepped forward to support her, and followed her steps step by step to turn out of the screen, and stood face to face with Mu Piaoyu.
