The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 293 Seeing the Buddha Beads Again
well!A sigh floated out from inside the tent.

Manning opened his eyes vigilantly, and after listening for a while, he said softly, "Young Madam, are you still awake?"

Baoqing opened her eyes wide, looked at the top of the tent, the moon-white pearls reflected the golden embroidered patterns on the tent, and said lightly, "I can't sleep." Mu Zhaoming was not around, and he always felt that something was missing.

well!Habits are not a good thing.

Manning also said with some helplessness and heartache: "I also listened to Bo'er and the others. The young lady has not slept well in the past few nights, but she sleeps more during the day. It's okay if I can't sleep normally, but I have to attend the King's Meeting tomorrow." I'm afraid the young lady won't be able to rest at this banquet." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm afraid the young lady is not used to the fact that the master is not around."

Well!Boqing was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Manning to consider this point, she was indeed unable to sleep because Mu Zhaoming was not around, and her heart was not at ease. It was just that someone dared not listen to Master Qingyuan's words, and said faintly: " Master Qingyuan repeatedly told Brother Zhaoming not to step into the Tianhua Garden, and Brother Zhaoming swore never to step into the Tianhua Pavilion, what can I do." I couldn't pull him in.

"But at Prince Jin's birthday banquet tomorrow, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at the young lady." Manning said worriedly: "These people look kind on the surface, but none of them are good people behind their backs. If you make trouble for the young lady, I wish our prime minister's mansion would make a fool of himself, and if the young lady is not in good spirits tomorrow, how will I deal with them."

"I can't sleep, and there's nothing I can do about it. I have to cheer up and deal with it tomorrow." He said helplessly, the eldest prince is not very quiet recently, and he can't sleep peacefully at the sleeping point.

Suddenly, Manning stood up, walked lightly to the bed, approached the tent, and said in a low voice: "Young Madam, there is nothing I can do, although the master vowed not to step into the Tianhua Pavilion, but Young Madam, You didn't swear that you wouldn't miss Tianxue Pavilion."

"The mountain is not just me, I am the mountain."

His fickle eyes lit up, he got up from the bed, and said to himself: "That's right, he can't come, I can go. Manning, bring the cloak, I want to go to Tianxue Pavilion."

Manning couldn't help but opened his mouth, looking at the flimsy in shock, and after recovering, he couldn't help being anxious, and quickly shook his head and said: "Young Madam, this servant is just talking casually, you can't take it seriously. Besides, at this hour, the master has gone to bed early , Young Madam, please don’t disturb the master’s rest. If Master Qingyuan finds out, he will definitely punish the servant.” He lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at the figure sitting on the edge of the bed.

"It's simple, just don't let him know." Boqing said disapprovingly, and pushed Manning: "Go, get my cloak here, or you won't be energetic at the banquet tomorrow, what if someone plots against you?" It's a joke, whoever dares to plot against her will just screw his head off.

"This……"

After hesitating for a long time, Manning turned around helplessly to get the cloak, but when he was carrying his heart, there was a smile of triumph on his face.

From Tianhua Pavilion to Tianxue Pavilion, there is no need to go outside, because the two buildings in the north and south seem to be separated from the outside, but they are actually connected.

And the connected part is exactly the study room of Mu Zhaoming and Bo Qing. To put it bluntly, this study room is actually shared by the two, but it is separated by countless bookshelves in the middle. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all.

Boqing wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, walked quietly into the study room, and pushed open the door on the other side of the study room. Although there were many hidden guards guarding Tianxue Pavilion, with her lightness, skill and speed, ordinary people really couldn't find her whereabouts. After passing through several corridors, he came to the door where Mu Zhaoming slept.

After looking around, her fickle eyes rolled, the corners of her lips slightly raised, she opened the door as if nothing had happened, walked through the small flower hall, and turned around the screen.

On the head of the bed, a night pearl the size of a dove's egg was emitting soft light like moonlight, and Mu Zhaoming's steady breathing could be heard from inside the white tent.

A hint of cunning flashed in Boqing's eyes, and she opened the tent and went to bed. When she saw the picture in front of her, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. Mu Zhaoming's face, which was usually too cold, looked extraordinarily peaceful under the soft pearl light. , like a landscape painting, quiet and safe.

There was an evil smile on his lips, he took off his cloak, and sat on the edge of the bed wearing only a small coat. He quietly stretched out his jade hand towards Mu Zhaoming's neck, but before his fingertips touched it, Mu Zhaoming suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. She dragged her into the bed, and said dotingly: "Naughty."

Boqing lay on Mu Zhaoming's chest, and said disapprovingly: "Who told you to pretend to be asleep and ignore him." After speaking, he changed into a comfortable position.

Mu Zhaoming said in surprise: "You also know that I was pretending to be asleep, rather than being woken up by your footsteps." Habitually letting Bo Qing rest on his arm, he used his arm to make her get closer to him.

Boqing rolled her eyes, stretched out her finger to poke Mu Zhaoming's chest and said, "Aren't you waiting for me?" The tone was affirmative, not questioning.

His eyes flickered, and Mu Zhaoming held her evil little hand: "How do you know I'm waiting for you?"

There was a hint of coquettishness in the corner of her eyes, and she said with a flirtatious smile that was not a smile: "Without your consent, she would not dare to encourage me to go to the Tianhua Pavilion without your consent. Even if Master Qingyuan is merciful, don't You will punish her, and for me, you will punish her too. Besides, Bi’an Garden is always heavily guarded at night, and I didn’t meet anyone along the way. Without your order, I can pass unimpeded.”

Mu Zhaoming hugged her tenderly, lowered her chin on her forehead, and said lightly: "I know I can't hide it from you. I heard from Manning that you sleep too much during the day. I think you must not sleep well at night. It doesn't matter usually, but not tomorrow." Same. The eldest prince has been looking for opportunities, and he will definitely take action on the king's birthday, so I asked Manning to find a way to hint you to come, one is to remind you, and the other is to let you sleep well."

"Can you bear it?" He asked inexplicably.

"As long as you restrain your breath and don't actively seduce me like that day, I'm completely fine." Mu Zhaoming said indifferently, the martial arts mentality he has practiced can make him get rid of all emotions and desires, as long as this girl doesn't deliberately play tricks , he's perfectly fine.

Boqing said unwillingly: "Your parents give you your looks, how can they seduce you." Originally, I wanted to take revenge on Mu Zhaoming for doing bad things to her before, but now I have to postpone the revenge for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future. Said: "Okay."

Mu Zhaoming pinched the tip of his tender nose, and said dotingly: "It's getting late, go to bed early, and you will wake up early with me tomorrow, before everyone finds out, rush back to the Tianhua Pavilion, let people find out, but there will be no Next time." Habit, really is not a good thing, without her by his side, he also can't fall asleep.

Hide the night pearl, sleep peacefully all night...

In front of the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion, the carriages that came to celebrate the birthday were lined up on the street in front of the gate like a long queue.

Manzhu lowered the curtain and said, "This Prince Jin's Mansion is quite lively."

Boqing sat on the carriage, and smiled coldly: "It's human nature to follow the trend. Now the crown prince is in charge of the government, and Prince Jin is on the prince's side, and when he captured the Wuyue Kingdom, Prince Jin contributed a lot. , Your Majesty appreciates it so much, these people naturally dare not neglect." He told the coachman, "Let's go." Then the carriage slowly drove towards the gate.

The gate that greeted the guests had sharp eyes, saw the carriage with the logo of the Prime Minister's Mansion coming from afar, and immediately rushed forward, and announced loudly: "Madam the Prime Minister is here." Be quiet, and cast their eyes on the ruthless carriage in unison.

Although they were the ones who came first, the door to welcome the guests greeted the prime minister's carriage first. What else could they do besides being jealous. After all, with Mu Zhaoming's current status, even ordinary princes can't compare, so they naturally dare not show it. Not at all dissatisfied.

In front of the gate, Boqing supported Manzhu's arm and got off the carriage. Everyone looked at this woman who caused a lot of trouble in the city. Unfortunately, she was wrapped tightly in a lotus-colored cloak, and the hood blocked her. Even though she had lost her face, she could still see her graceful demeanor, and walked into the gate in the blink of an eye.

On a carriage not far from the gate, Xiao Jinyu stepped under the curtain, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a hint of evil charm: "Thin love, there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you just want to come. The prince will not let you go, but you just showed up." It seems that the weight of the seventh prince in the prince's heart is quite important, otherwise the fickleness would not appear.

Not long after Bo Qing walked into the gate, she saw Chen Ling'er standing on the door with a group of maids and mothers-in-law standing on the door of the ceremony, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Princess Jin, can you Don't say that you are here to wait for me, Madam Ben is afraid that Prince Jin will settle accounts with me later, and the birthday banquet will not start, so Madam Ben will be driven out of the gate."

Chen Ling'er put one hand on her hips, stroked her stomach with the other, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, how dare he drive you away from someone who is not always able to invite you. Listen carefully, if the prince asks , you remember saying that the princess is waiting for the prime minister's wife, let's see if the prince dares to catch up." The girls and women couldn't help laughing.

Boqing stared at Chen Linger's stomach and said: "The last time we met was the Laba Festival of the old year. I didn't see you in the palace on the first day of the new year. Now it's been more than a month, and your belly is getting bigger. The baby should have a baby." More than four months, almost five months."

"That's not true." Chen Ling'er laughed heartily, stroked her stomach and said, "I was supposed to enter the palace on the first day of the lunar new year. The queen mother and queen empress thought that I was pregnant, and they were afraid that I would have to work hard. You are raised at home. But you, you are doing well recently." Although she is living in seclusion, she is also a palace after all, so she has heard a lot of rumors outside.

Spreading her hands in disapproval, she said disapprovingly: "My wife is very nice, I won't be knocked down by a few rumors. Besides, were rumors and other things still rare in Fengdu back then?"

Chen Ling'er stretched out her hand, took her tender and slender hand and said: "What I said is, let's not mention those unhappy things." Putting her little hand carefully on her stomach, she said with a smile: "Touch and see, The baby has been moving recently, and the imperial doctor said it was called fetal movement."

"real."

Boqing said in surprise, Chen Linger nodded: "You are a person with martial arts, close your eyes and listen quietly."

Filled with curiosity, she closed her eyes obediently, feeling the beating of the child in her belly with her internal force.

Sure enough, Chen Ling'er felt some movement in her abdomen, as if something was turning in her abdomen, she opened her eyes and said with a smile: "I feel the baby is moving, he is very healthy, and he will definitely be like Prince Jin in the future."

Chen Ling'er poked Boqing's forehead, and said with a smile: "You're talking nonsense, the child hasn't been born yet, how can you know if he's healthy or not?"

This poke revealed the beads on the wrist, and when he saw it, he took Chen Ling'er's hand, stroked the beads and said: "With the string of beads from the Queen Mother, the Buddha will definitely bless your child to be born safely and healthy."

Chen Ling'er said gratefully: "It's thanks to you, you are willing to give me this string of Buddhist beads. I just received a letter from my grandmother a few days ago. She said that she is doing well now, and Changqing Mountain is very quiet, which made her feel very happy. Calm, let us not have to worry about it. However, I didn't dare to tell her about the robbery of your prayer beads."

Boqing smiled disapprovingly, playing with the beads, and suddenly saw that the color of the rope wearing the beads was a bit different from what she had worn before, and said in surprise: "Hey, the rope used to wear the beads seems to have been changed." She raised her head She looked at Chen Ling'er puzzled.
