When Princess Rui was turned away in Prince Shou's Mansion, Prince Rui returned to her palace and wanted to instruct the princess to give more precious medicinal supplements to Prince Gong, but learned that Princess Rui had gone out and went to the third family.
King Rui wondered, and couldn't figure out what the princess was going to do there. After playing with his two daughters for a while, Princess Rui was back.
The wet nurse took the two little princesses down, and King Rui stared at Princess Rui and asked strangely.
Princess Rui pursed her lips and sat beside him and said, "The fourth brother was injured in his arm. I want to discuss with the third brother and sister how to comfort Mulan."
King Rui frowned. On the way to the fourth family today, the father asked the third brother about Song Jianing's fetus. The third brother told him that everything was fine, and then explained that he had concealed the matter from Song Jianing for the time being. The father nodded and hoped to have another fat grandson.
"She is about to give birth, so I'll hide this from it in advance. Don't talk too much. If something really happens, the third brother will definitely blame us." King Rui instructed.
Princess Rui did not dare to expose her little thoughts directly, pulled the veil, and sighed deliberately and tentatively: "I just hope that the third brother and sister will have a son smoothly, so that the father and the emperor will be happy."
King Rui's heart was slightly moved. The four brothers were the elder brother, and only the elder brother gave birth to two sons, and they were all imprisoned in Nangong. The father was getting older and longing for the grandson to look forward to the prosperity of the Zhao family's descendants. Although the third brother stuttered, he could say five words now. He acted more and more steadily in the court. The father also praised him repeatedly. If the third brother really gave birth to a son, it would offset the oral disease...
So what if he doesn’t have a mouth disease? He can’t give birth to a legitimate son, so he has no descendants!
King Rui suddenly became uneasy, and it was the first time he saw the third brother as a threat.
He can't control the third wife's belly, but...
Looking at the princess opposite, thinking that Chen Xiu was pregnant and Zhang had been favored for so many years but had not been pregnant. King Rui's eyes were slightly cold. In the sun, he picked up Princess Rui and went to the inner room to give birth to a son. King Rui felt that his princess was still very capable of giving birth, but he had given too little favor in the past, which delayed the matter. Now only the third brother left to threaten him, and he could not lose in his son's case.
For the whole day, King Rui was with Princess Rui.
For several consecutive days, Princess Rui was favored and lived a very comfortable life. She was usually suppressed by Chen Xiu and Zhang. Now she was in a glorious position. Princess Rui could not help but call Chen Xiu and Zhang to the main courtyard, and then put on the jade hairpin of King Rui Shang to talk to the two concubines. Zhang's favor had long been separated by Chen Xiu for most of her. She gradually got used to this kind of sorrow and endured silently. Chen Xiu had been in the mansion for a short time and now she was pregnant again. Of course, she refused to be suppressed by Princess Rui.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Xiu took out a pretext to feel uncomfortable and led King Rui to her yard.
At night, King Rui naturally rested here.
The couple was bedding, Chen Xiu leaned against King Rui's chest, and his little hand moved down little by little. King Rui was worried recently, and Chen Xiu was full of belly again. He was in a bad mood. He held Chen Xiu's hand and patted him, "Sleep, don't be tired."
Chen Xiu couldn't help but be disappointed. If she couldn't serve a man, she would lose her favor. She held her chin, her hair was loose, and her beautiful eyes were quietly observing King Rui. Seeing King Rui frowning, Chen Xiu said suspiciously: "What are you worried about?"
King Rui was in trouble with the position of crown prince. I don’t know what his father thought, but when he was the eldest brother, he was so partial to the eldest brother and did not issue an order to enthrone the crown prince. It was his turn. First, he had not received the reliance of the eldest brother as much as he had. Second, even if he got it, the father might not establish the crown prince like he did to the eldest brother.
If you don’t become the crown prince for one day, King Rui will not be able to feel at ease for one day.
Chen Xiu couldn't imagine that far away, but she knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was defeated again in the attack on Liao Kingdom this time, and the veteran general who could fight and was able to fight was killed, and he also lost several cities. Looking back on the war report that he had reached the capital, the prince's words were the most because he was afraid that the emperor could not bear it and that the people would criticize the emperor. Chen Xiu thought about it and asked softly: "Your Majesty, are you tiring about the gossip of the capital?"
King Rui's eyes turned, and when he saw a sly light floating in Chen Xiu's eyes, he said, "So what?"
Chen Xiu smiled and said softly, "I am a woman from the inner house and I don't understand major affairs in the court, but I remember that the last Northern Expedition failed, the people accused the emperor of the emperor. It was my grandfather who gave advice for the emperor... The prince is full of civil and military affairs. My grandfather knows the emperor best, knows what the emperor is worried about, and knows how to relieve the emperor's sorrow. Why not, I will write a letter and ask my grandfather for advice?"
King Rui's eyes lit up, yes, how did he forget Zhao Pu's old fox? Zhao Pu left Beijing because everything went well at that time. Zhao Pu's staying in the capital would only weaken his father's prestige. Now that his father has something to ask for, Zhao Pu, the elder of the two dynasties, naturally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. As long as he spoke a few words for Zhao Pu in front of his father, would Zhao Pu return to the court and the country, would he return to the court and the country? No matter what, he was Zhao Pu's grandson-in-law.
"You, you are simply my lucky star." Raising Chen Xiu's chin, King Rui kissed him happily. However, the fourth brother was initially hit and was depressed. His father was worried about internal and external troubles. He was afraid that he would not listen to his recommendation of capable ministers. If he was not careful, he would suspect that he would ridicule him... Pinching Chen Xiu's boneless little hand, King Rui slowly had an idea. Wait, wait until the fourth brother recovered his energy, or the third brother gave birth to a son, he would go and mention it.
Of course, it is best to cheer up the elders and the third ones continue to have a daughter.
At this moment, King Rui finally had a relationship with his princess.
Prince Gong, who was beloved by King Rui, did not cheer up and still locked himself in the inner room all day long.
Li Mulan knew everything, but she was full of sorrow and her grandfather died in her mind. She really didn't have the energy to comfort and encourage her husband who gave up on her at home. However, no matter how deep the grief was, it would slowly settle down. On the eve of her grandfather's burial, Li Mulan was ready to talk to her husband.
As night fell, Li Mulan returned to the palace, but saw that the upper room was pitch black and there was no light.
"When did the prince sleep?" Li Mulan asked the manager in a low voice.
The manager looked at the room and shook his head and sighed: "Go back to the princess, the prince doesn't allow us to go in and light the lights. The room is dark and we don't know whether the prince is sleeping." The men of the Li family died on the battlefield one after another. There was no child or grandchild in the huge general's mansion. The princess and the old general's grandchildren had a deep affection. Because the vigil had not returned to the royal palace, he could understand, but the prince was really pitiful.
"Your Majesty can be eaten?" Li Mulan asked again after a moment of silence.
"Didn't move at all." The manager said truthfully.
"Prepare meals." Li Mulan directly ordered this time, her tone was firm, as if she was sure that King Gong would eat.
After speaking, Li Mulan strode into the main hall and headed straight to the inner room.
The room was dark, and Li Mulan held the lights in her hand, and soon the room lit up. Putting down the fire note, Li Mulan looked up and saw that there was only a bulging quilt on the bed, and King Gong was not seen. Li Mulan stared at the quilt and found that the quilt was hanging in a row, and she felt as sad as she was, but suddenly wanted to laugh.
King Gong, it is indeed the King Gong.
People cannot be resurrected when they die. The heroic death of grandfather should be proud of her grandfather and continue to indulge in sorrow. Grandfather has spirit in heaven, and will not be grateful for her filial piety, but she will only call her pedantic. Grandfather left, she could not keep her, but Prince Gong is still alive. This man who blocked her and lost her arm for her is the new hero in her destiny after her grandfather.
"Zhao Yuanjun." When Li Mulan walked to the bed, she said calmly.
Under the quilt, King Gong was stunned. He became disabled. He thought that out of guilt and sympathy, Li Mulan would respect him more than before, or out of touch, deliberately imitated other women's gentle service to him. Even if he felt that he was useless, King Gong never expected that Li Mulan would call him his name and name with great sting.
King Gong can't remember when the last time someone called his name.
Just as he was in a daze, the quilt on his body was suddenly lifted open and suddenly exposed to the light. King Gong subconsciously wanted to block his eyes, but he just shook the remaining part of his right arm, his arm and his hand were gone. His whole body was stiff. King Gong suddenly laughed, turned to the inside with a smile, and stopped abruptly, closed his eyes and said, "You go, I'm sleepy."
Li Mulan didn't leave, sat next to him, looked at the man pretending to be cold and asked, "Zhao Yuanjun, do you regret blocking the knife for me?"
It would be fine if he was not gentle, but he still doubted his heart? His arms were gone, but she still doubted his heart?
"Get out! If I regret it, you will die long ago..."
King Gong sat up suddenly and roared at Li Mulan with red eyes. However, no matter how angry she was, she could not curse her to die. She only breathed heavily, her chest was undulating.
The man lost one arm and did not eat or drink. His handsome face, which was once full of energy, was almost skinny. Li Mulan almost burst into tears, but she controlled her control and looked directly at King Gong's blood-covered eyes and asked: "Since you don't regret it, then you don't want to see me, are you afraid that I will dislike you? So before I dislike you, do you alienate me?"
King Gong was silent, then turned around and sat with his back to her.
The tears that he had been holding back finally fell. Li Mulan quickly wiped it off, took a deep breath, and said as if nothing had happened: "I despise you. At that time, you were healthy and you were a seven-foot man. Your martial arts skills were not as good as me, and your horse skills were not as good as me. Apart from the prince's identity, you were not even as good as an ordinary border soldier in my eyes."
King Gong clenched his fists, and Li Mulan could hear it clearly.
"But from the day you gave up the peace and glory of the capital and went to war side by side with me, I decided to give you the respect that a passionate man deserves. From the moment you followed me to save your grandfather regardless of your safety, I decided to be a true husband and wife with you, with one heart and one virtue, and never give up on life and death."
King Gong raised his head and cried silently.
Needless to say, he felt her changes, but before he could experience the feeling of being together, he...
Suddenly there were pairs of arms around his waist, and King Gong was stunned.
