Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 242

The moonlight is slightly cold, and the sky is as bright as water.

Night, after all, is long and long...

Baili Jiuge is getting more and more lethargic now, and for the sake of the baby in her belly, the style of staying up late and working hard in the past has also restrained a little.

When I woke up in the morning, looking at Mo Li by my side, I felt warm in my heart, as if lying in a thousand feet of soft red, how I wished that such a time could last forever.

She yawned, stretched herself, rolled into Mo Li's arms, and smiled loudly: "You are reading again."

"Yeah." Mo Li smiled softly.

The faint morning light sprinkled gold flakes, adorning his pale jade face, and the shimmering light was like a butterfly fluttering its wings gently.He combed Baili Jiuge's hair, closed the scroll with one hand, and placed it on the bedside.Baili Jiuge glanced at it, this time it was not "Book of Songs", but "Qi Min Yao Shu".

She was startled, and said with a smile: "You care about the suffering of people's livelihood, you read this kind of book early in the morning."

Mo Li chuckled and asked: "After breakfast, do you want to go outside for a walk?"

"Really? You want to take me out to play?" Baili Jiuge was suddenly excited.

"Well, do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to." Baili Jiuge sat up, tossed his black hair like a waterfall, stretched out his hand and hooked up his clothes, "Then hurry up, go out early, and play for a long time."

In the interest of playing, Baili Jiuge ate breakfast very vigorously, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Just when she and Mo Li were about to go out together, a servant came from the palace and said that the Queen Mother called all the relatives of the king to Yan In the Nian Palace, there are important things to announce.

Baili Jiuge's joyful eyes faded away.

The queen mother, the queen mother again, even though she was Mo Li's grandmother, and her motives were all for Mo Li's good, but...she really didn't think that the queen mother would bring her any good news when she went to the palace.

Seeing Baili Jiuge's disinterested look, Mo Li thoughtfully held her hand, rubbed it lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, she loves me after all, nothing will happen. I'll take you out another day Play and cheer up, okay?"

"I see." She smiled and put the unpleasant thoughts behind her.

Riding in the carriage, they arrived at Yannian Hall, Mo Li took Baili Jiuge in his arms, and Xu walked into the hall.Just like every time before, he couldn't be more careful and spent all his seven orifices on her.

Slightly smiling at the relatives of Wang who had already arrived in the hall, Mo Li and Baili Jiuge sat on a spacious bench.

Before long, everyone came together.Mo Yang and the queen mother were sitting in the first place, Mo Yang was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking. The queen mother glanced at Baili Jiuge and asked, "Is this stomach five months old?"

"Almost five months." Baili Jiuge replied.

"Oh..." The queen mother lowered her eyes thoughtfully, looked at Mo Li suddenly, and said earnestly and kindly: "Grandson, you have met Yu Heng many times, and you can be regarded as acquaintances. How is the girl?"

Baili Jiuge took a deep breath, why do you think that the Queen Mother meant something?

Feeling the little hand being held, Mo Li was sending her a feeling of peace of mind, and he replied indifferently: "Miss Li has a good character and a warm personality."

"Oh, you also think Yuheng is good?" There was an imperceptible hint of joy in the Empress Dowager's expression.

Mo Li smiled softly: "Miss Li is deeply loved by the queen mother's grandmother. The grandmother thinks she is good, and so does the grandson."

The empress dowager's eyes became more and more happy, which gradually became more apparent, and Baili Jiuge could see it clearly.

An ominous premonition crept into Baili Jiuge's mind, she held Mo Li's hand tightly, and at this moment she really wanted to ask the Queen Mother: Are you going to give Li Yuheng to Mo Li? !
Concubine Liang said: "Miss Li usually comes to the palace, she is never late, she always arrives very early, why don't you see her today?"

Mo Hong said: "The seat of the eldest brother is also vacant."

What the mother and son said made Baili Jiuge stunned, but he was in no mood to pay attention to why Li Yuheng and Mo Yi didn't come.

She bit her lip, her bright eyes met the empress dowager's gaze full of dissatisfaction and scrutiny, she showed a flamboyant smile, she grasped Mo Li's hand tightly, and let herself sit firmly beside him.

At this time, a servant called out, saying that Mo Yi and Li Yuheng had arrived.

I saw the two people really walked in, one on the left and one on the right, Li Yuheng was still wearing that aqua-blue makeup dress, and Bai Yugui never left his hands.As for Mo Yi, with a carefree smile on his lips, like a stroke of clear ink, carefree and elegant.

The Empress Dowager's expression froze, and she asked unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me that you came late, as if you made an appointment in advance?"

This question is also the question of everyone present. After all, these two incomprehensible people entered the palace together, but after hearing what the Empress Dowager said just now, they still wanted to hold a red line for His Royal Highness and Miss Li...

Li Yuheng replied: "The banquet was over last night, the eldest son came to my house to look at the jade, and it was too late to stay at my house."

The Queen Mother immediately got a little annoyed, "Mo Yi, is what Yu Heng said true?"

"That's right." Mo Yi saluted with unruly gestures in one go.

Immediately there were whispers around.This is Li Yuheng, a girl who has not left the court, and she stays at home overnight with a man. She is a widow. This... everyone can't help but look at the queen mother, thinking in their hearts: This is a complicated matter.

Because someone often buys jade in Li Yuheng's store, he couldn't help but say a few words: "Miss Li is a businessman after all, and if she is too strict with etiquette, this business can't go on. Your Highness didn't say anything just now. Is it? Miss Li has a good character and a warm personality."

The Empress Dowager was refreshed after hearing these words, and it was obviously a step down for her.The queen mother hurriedly said: "Mo Yi, you sit down first. Yu Heng, you just stand there, the Ai family has something to tell you."

"The empress dowager, tell me." Li Yuheng smiled.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge only felt that his heart was tightly hanging there, and he didn't know whether he was going to be thrown into the air to receive the blow, or whether he would be able to land firmly.

Even though she had already guessed what the Queen Mother wanted, she still watched the situation firmly, and kept telling herself in her heart: Calm down, calm down, just like what Mo Li said, when soldiers come, they will be blocked by water and earth.

The little hands were clenched even tighter, and Mo Li's soft eyes always had the magic power to comfort Baili Jiuge, "I'm here."

Baili Jiuge nodded.With me here, these four simple words, to her, are a pair of the most powerful and gentle wings, making her feel no longer uneasy.

And then, the Queen Mother also said what Baili Jiuge had already guessed.

"Yuheng, last night Aijia asked Master Yan Tianshi to do the math. You and Mo Li's birthdays are the same, so it is a lottery. In addition, you are about to be in your twenties, so Aijia wants to be a moon old man. You pointed out Mo Li as the side concubine, what do you think?"

Li Yuheng was obviously very surprised and wanted to speak, but someone rushed to speak before her.

It was the county magistrate Mo Qing, and she said sadly and angrily: "Empress Dowager, you can't be partial. You said you liked me the most, so it turns out that you like Li Yuheng more!"

The queen mother choked.In fact, it's not that she never thought of pointing Mo Qing to Mo Li, but Mo Qing is the county lord, how can she wrong Mo Qing to be a concubine, and the position of Baili Jiuge's main room will definitely not be moved, so Yuheng is the The most suitable choice.

Just when the Queen Mother was about to appease Mo Qing, Li Yuheng spoke.

"Empress Dowager, I think it's better to forget it."

The face of the queen mother changed suddenly.

Li Yuheng said: "I'm serious, forget it, I can't do this."

Baili Jiuge was startled.This Li Yuheng's temperament, why...

The queen mother said angrily: "Yuheng, what do you mean! Do you think Mo Li is not good enough for you?"

Li Yuheng poked his head with Bai Yugui in distress, and muttered: "Of course I am not worthy of His Royal Highness, I am just a businessman, and I only want to do business for the rest of my life. If I marry into the palace, how can I dig jade and find jade?" Sell ​​jade."

The queen mother was startled, and then smiled: "You ghost girl, this is what you're worried about? What's so difficult about it, if you marry into the palace, won't Mo Li send someone to help you manage the shop and help you pick jade everywhere? "

"How can I do that!" Li Yuheng said: "My father told me before he died of illness that wealth must be created with my own hands, and I can't do things like getting something for nothing."

"Yuheng, you..."

"Also," Li Yuheng said clearly, "Although I'm just a businessman, I won't be someone else's underdog. Besides, the relationship between His Highness and Concubine is obvious to all. Meddling between other people's husbands and wives, destroying others Family happiness, such a wicked thing, do you really think I can do it, Empress Dowager?"

These words completely refuted the empress dowager's face, and she was so angry that she slammed the case, "Li Yuheng! Are you treating Aijia's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?!"

Li Yuheng smiled: "I really can't do this. If I really do it, I can't explain it to my father in the coffin. It's better to apologize with death."

"Li Yuheng, you..." The Empress Dowager's lungs were about to explode. She never expected that Li Yuheng, whom she loved like her own granddaughter, would call her a heinous person in front of so many people.

Isn't it easy for her to be a grandmother?
"Grandmother, please calm down." Mo Li persuaded with a gentle smile, with a bit of worry in her voice, after all, grandma is getting old and suffers from migraines, making her angry frequently is not good for her health.

The queen mother glanced at Mo Li, and said disappointedly: "The wings have grown hard, right? Everyone has their own opinions, and they are right in everything. Only Aijia is a bad old woman, and she is wrong in everything she does!"

Mo Li said: "The empress dowager's grandmother is also thinking about her grandson. This understanding, my grandson has never changed."

The Empress Dowager's vigor was also worn down by disappointment, she panted and sat back on the chair, and said in a bad mood: "Whether you agree or not, the horoscopes of the two of you have already been signed by Master Yan Tianshi. So this marriage is imperative, and the Ai family doesn't want to hear another word 'no' from you."

Mo Li frowned.

Baili Jiuge's heart trembled again, she wanted to speak, but she also knew that the current situation was not the same as before.After all, this is Mo Li's family, and the Queen Mother loves Mo Li too. If I say something blindly, it will make it even more difficult for Mo Li...

He could only ask in a low voice: "Mo Li, that Tianshi Yan, is..."

Just as I was mentioning this, I heard Li Yuheng say, "Perhaps Tianshi Yan made a mistake in his calculation."

The queen mother was furious, almost stood up again, and scolded: "Presumptuous! How dare you question Tianshi Yan's ability!"

Mo Qing took the opportunity to say: "Since Li Yuheng doesn't believe it, Empress Dowager, then invite Tianshi Yan to the palace."

Mo Qing was still thinking about asking Yan Tianshi to calculate whether Baili Jiuge and His Royal Highness Shizi are also compatible. It is impossible for siblings to get along!

The queen mother glared at Li Yuheng angrily, but the latter didn't care and played with Bai Yugui.

Mo Yang motioned for a servant to invite Tianshi Yan.
