The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 239 Matchmaking
Chapter 239 Matchmaking
The crowd watching the excitement outside the door was excited again. In the past, they didn’t know the secrets of the Gaomen compound. Today they heard some more. It turns out that the side concubine and the former princess in Duanwang’s mansion have such a past, and they can go home. Talk to the nagging at home.

Xiahou stood outside the door with a bowl of blood in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

In Prince Duan's mansion, Mu Xuerou's blood was finally stopped. She has not recovered her sanity yet, and her face is pale. The mansion doctor has done her best. As for whether she can wake up or not, it all depends on her luck.

For several days, King Duan stayed behind closed doors and didn't even go to the morning court. Everyone didn't know what happened to him, even the empress in the palace.

The people who were sent out never saw Xia Houxian at all, and the waiter came to report that King Duan locked himself in the room, and did not allow anyone to approach him without eating or drinking every day, so the people sent by the palace did not even see Xiahouxian's face at all. arrive.

The queen was very anxious, how could Xierer lose the chain at this time?

Seeing that Princess Wanyue had been here for nearly ten days, Lian'er didn't even show her face, it was in vain that she created such a good rule for him.

Wanyue does not have a bad impression of the queen, after all, she is the mother of a country, and she is much more powerful than Nanchu. She is very satisfied with being able to treat her so kindly.

Ever since she was beaten up in Rong's house last time, Wan Yue has never dared to appear in front of people, that was too embarrassing, she is a woman no matter what, she still needs face.

And the eyes of those concubines, Wanyue felt that they were laughing at her, and she was a princess of a country, so she didn't bother to deal with them.

Her father had already told her about the marriage, she was bound to find a husband in Tianqi, and she couldn't give up on Xia Houxiang.

Thinking that Xia Houxiang couldn't get through there, and Rongli was not a good person, so Wanyue wanted to start with the queen.

If the emperor bestows a marriage, Xia Houxiang will never be able to shirk it, right?

The queen and the emperor are married, and the emperor always listens to what the queen says.

Wan Yue thought in her heart, why don't she coax the queen well, and bring this matter up with the emperor in time, maybe it will be done!
The more she thought about it, the more Wan Yue felt that it was feasible, and then she became close to the queen.

As for the queen's plan, Wanyue didn't know at all, if she knew, she would hide away from the queen, so why would she come closer?
The queen and Wanyue got along very happily, they walked together like a mother and daughter, but they were envious of other concubines who had sons.

They spent a long time, but this princess of Nanchu is always indifferent to answering, but she is very close to the queen. Could it be that Princess Nanchu changed her target to King Duan?
But King Duan has been missing for the past few days, and it doesn't look like he wants to marry the princess.

Everyone secretly guessed, and couldn't figure it out for a while.

Finally, Duan Wang, who had disappeared for many days, reappeared.

The concubines naturally didn't know his condition, but everyone who saw Xiahou title in the previous court was stunned.

This one, what's the matter?
Xia Houxian lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were slightly sunken, his black eyes were like ink, both black and full of boundless depression, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in darkness, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling .

Walking up to the main hall, Xiahou stood in his place without looking sideways, and no one dared to approach him due to the dark aura around him.

Xia Houxiang took another look at him, he heard from Li'er that Xia Houxian went to deliver blood to Li'er a few days ago.

It is not surprising to see Xia Houlian like this now, if a person like him who has been hit one after another, if he is still as usual, it will be really scary.

Feeling Xia Houxiang's gaze, Xia Houxian looked sideways.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and neither of them flinched.

"The emperor is here!" A eunuch's chorus interrupted everyone's thoughts, and also interrupted Xia Houxian and Xia Houxiang's staring at each other.

Everyone picked up their robes and knelt down, except Xia Houxiang.

The morning court was going on as usual. The emperor was taken aback when he could see the title of Xiahou who was in the court, and then he couldn't help frowning when he saw his state at this time. He turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, and continued to listen to the reports of his courtiers. What happened to the son?
Ever since Huo Rongli, he has been abnormal.

With him like this, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the country to him!

The balance in Xia Houzan's heart deviated a bit from Xia Houxian's, and the other sons didn't say it was too bad, so he had to think more about it.

After all, it is a major matter concerning a country. If he can't destroy his fame for a lifetime and bury Tianqi's country in the hands of his own son, then what face will he have to meet his ancestors in the future?

The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Xiahou was going to court, and hurriedly sent someone to wait for him to come over when he was about to go to court. She wanted to let Xian'er meet the princess.

Not long after, Xia Houxian followed the eunuch who sent the message and appeared outside Zhengyang Palace. The queen couldn't sit still in the palace, so she came out and waited.

Seeing Xia Houlian's appearance, she was really startled, and hurried up to meet her, "Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Houlian looked up at her, but said nothing.

The queen knew that outside was not a place to talk, so she quickly dragged Xia Hou into the hall, and waved everyone away.

There were only mother and son left in the hall, and the queen looked at him worriedly, "Xian'er, you haven't shown up for a few days, do you know that the mother will worry about you? What happened, why have you lost so much weight these days?"

Xia Houlian closed his eyes, and said softly, "Your servant is fine, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry."

"Nonsense, you are like this, why do you still say it's okay?" The queen didn't believe it at all.

"I'm really fine, my mother called my son here, why?" Xia Houlian calmed down, he had thought a lot in the past few days but he didn't seem to think about anything, in short, his mind is very confused now, I don't want to talk or move, I just want to go back home and stay in one place quietly without being disturbed by others.

The empress sighed, if she had known her appearance like this, she would not have let Princess Wanyue come.

But they have sent people out, and it is absolutely impossible to call back, so I can only keep my son, "My mother made some new cakes, which are all your favorites. You don't eat or drink in the mansion. How can the body bear it, eat something first, and eat at the empress's place today, be obedient."

Knowing the refusal, Xia Houxian could only ask his mother to give more reasons to keep him, so he nodded, "Okay."

The queen didn't expect him to agree so quickly, and she immediately beamed with joy, "Come here."

Someone served tea, and the queen mother was talking to Xia Houxian at the side. Not long after, Princess Wanyue arrived.

When the little eunuch sang and Princess Wanyue arrived, Xia Houxian looked up at the queen. He thought she had made it very clear last time, but it seemed that the mother hadn't given up yet.

Xia Houxian didn't say a word, he only listened to his mother-in-law and Princess Wanyue greeting each other, he sat quietly and waited quietly, anyway, he would not marry Wanyue, no matter how the mother-in-law tried to match her up, it was useless.
