Chapter 437
Chu Jingxian also picked up the wine jar, opened the seal, touched it lightly with her, raised his head and drank, the clear fragrance of wine filled the yard.
After drinking, Chu Jingxian took a deep look at Mu Qingyu, ducked to the courtyard wall, went up to the roof, and then disappeared into the night.
This was probably the first time he showed his skills in front of her without any reservation. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it before, but it was unnecessary.
Mu Qingyu looked at the direction in which the agile figure was leaving. With such skills, she should be able to protect herself well!
Chu Jingxian entered the palace again the next day. He gave the medicine to Concubine De. The mother and son had an unknown conversation, and he left quickly.
Looking at her son who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, Concubine De sighed softly. She could not leave the palace and had no eye contact outside the palace, but she could imagine Chu Jingxian's suffering these days.
That kind of experience is enough to destroy a person.
Next to her hand was the medicine.
Seeing that the empress was not in a good mood, Aunt Xu persuaded her softly after a while: "Empress, don't think too much. Although His Highness has lost some weight, he is much more energetic and calm!"
Concubine De said softly: "Yes, calm down!"
Why does a person who was originally out-tempered suddenly become calm?
She would rather Xian'er always be happy, live as he pleases, without worries, heartless, ordinary and peaceful!
However, it is different after all.
Some things, if they happen, just happen.
Some hearts, if they are cold, cannot be warmed!
She stared in the direction of the door for a moment, then opened the small box. Inside the box, the small pill was round and smooth.
She stretched out her green-white fingers and pinched them gently with her thumb and index finger.
Aunt Xu was a little worried and said, "Mom, are you really ready to eat?"
Concubine De glanced at her.
Aunt Xu said with some worry: "His Royal Highness Seventh, it was the girl who made the food last time who gave it to her..."
She still had lingering fears about what happened back then.
As the nanny beside the empress, she did not want her to get hurt in the slightest.
Concubine De said slowly: "There is no problem with the person Xian'er trusts. The problem is not her!" As she said that, she put the medicine into her mouth.
The medicine has the fragrance of herbs and is slightly bitter, but the bitterness is not obvious and it melts in the mouth.
Aunt Xu was extremely worried.
Could it be possible that His Highness the Seventh Prince was also deceived?
Concubine De took another sip of water and swallowed all the medicine.
Ever since she was poisoned, her energy has been low and she is not in a good spirit. She will become tired after sitting for a while. The imperial doctor said that her roots have been damaged, and she is lucky to have a life.
She has nothing to complain about.
It was her own fault that there were other people's backstabbing around her.
There seems to be a lingering fragrance in the mouth of the pill.
Although she does not understand pharmacology, she can still taste several extremely rare medicinal materials, such as ginseng, zhixiancao, silver frost silk green, thousand leaf flower...
Some of these are rare even in the imperial palace.
Therefore, this medicine is extremely rare and rare!
Concubine De sighed softly in her heart, Xian'er is willing to protect the person, I hope he will be able to protect him in the future!
Chu Jingxian no longer gets drunk, no longer lives on the streets, and no longer associates with beggars.
He returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and the Prince of Chu's Mansion closed its doors to thank guests. King Chu Jingxian no longer went to Xinghe Block Square, raced horses or cockfights on the streets, or greeted friends in restaurants.
After Chu Chengye heard about it, he just snorted. Even if he started working hard from now on, it would be too late.
He and Chu Yuncheng had decided on that direction almost from a very young age. His mother-in-law, Chu Yuncheng's mother, had been fighting in the harem for a long time, and now each occupied half of it, while Concubine De was just an indisputable figure.
She doesn’t rob her, she lives in a corner, she’s not valued much by the emperor, she’s just an old and lustful concubine who he doesn’t dislike!
At this time, Yu Fan, who followed me at the door, said: "Your Highness, the post from Dingyuan Hou Mansion has been sent over. The eighth day of this month is the day when the prince of the Hou Mansion and Miss Mu family will get married."
Chu Chengye frowned.
When such a big thing happened, the old lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had strongly requested that the daughter of the Mu family wanted to marry her precious grandson, but she could only marry her as a concubine. She even had an issue with the marriage being called off later.
However, with the eldest prince mediating in the middle and telling his plan to Dingyuan Marquis Qin Muzhao, the old lady heard that she wanted a precious grandson, so she no longer insisted on marrying her as a concubine.
However, it has long been no secret that Mu Manqi was pregnant before she was married.
Now, they have all shown their feelings.
When a noble lady in the capital teaches her daughter a lesson, who wouldn’t use this as a negative example?
So what if you were originally your fiancé? So what if you married well? Before you get married, you have an affair with your fiancé and go to the wedding with a big belly. This is called shameless.
However, Mu Mingyuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Dingyuan Marquis is from the family of Ning Guifei's mother. Both families have high status, and those noble ladies can only talk about it when they are goddaughters in the backyard, and no one will get into trouble for them!
No, the previously agreed wedding date has been brought forward again.
If you don’t do it in advance, the bride’s belly will be too big by then and she won’t look good when she comes to the church!
This is all a joke between the two families.
Everyone knew that this child was Qin Xuran's, but Qin Xuran wanted to say in public that it was not his. He had put on such a big cuckold, and then wanted to marry him as his real wife. I don't know how many people were secretly laughing in their bellies.
Isn't this Mu Manqi also known as a talented woman? At first, there were faint signs of being as famous as Ming Qinxue.
At that time, how were the people in the capital ranked? Ming, Mu, Jiang, and San.
There were other ladies who had good family backgrounds, were born in wealth, had outstanding looks, and were good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they were all outclassed by them.
Now, Ming Yi has been kicked out of the family and the family tree, and is no longer considered a member of the Ming family.
Mu Er had an affair with someone before they were married, and his reputation was ruined.
On the contrary, Jiang San, who was personally granted a marriage by the emperor not long ago, is already a concubine, and will get married at a later date!
I don't know whether it was to save Mu Manqi's face, or Dingyuan Hou wanted to use this wedding to stop people from secretly laughing at him. The invitations were distributed widely, and with the reputation of the Minister of Civil Affairs, it must have come to
There will always be guests like clouds.
Even Mu Qingyu received one, and Ming Qinxue also received one.
It was Mu Manqi's intention to send wedding invitations to Mu Qingyu and Ming Qinxue.
She, the second oldest child in ten thousand years, wanted to use the excitement and honor of her wedding to compare with Ming Qinxue, who was kicked out of the Ming family and was no longer the eldest daughter of the Ming family, to seek some psychological superiority.
As for Mu Qingyu, of course it is more important to let her see her current glory.
He will soon be the wife of the Prince of Dingyuan, and where is Mu Qingyu? The Prince of Liang abandoned his concubine and became a commoner in the capital!
But she never thought that she herself was not much better. Among the ladies in the back row, such as Wei Wen, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhuang, Qin Wanshu, the legitimate daughter of Dingyuan Marquis, and Fu Yuhan, the legitimate daughter of Cheng Guo, who were better than others?
