Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 68

The four words "flickering and haunting" belonged to him.

Seeing the dangerous light in his eyes, Meng Zihan said with a perfunctory smile, "Actually...that...hehe..."

Originally wanted to explain, but suddenly felt that his explanation was so pale, one looked at her, and the other lowered his head and twisted his fingers.

It's not that she doesn't want to sleep on the same bed with him, but she's just afraid that he will be stimulated by Hua Yankang today, and then he will toss her all night, and his physical strength hasn't recovered from last night.

She also admitted that although he was ten years older than her now, she was far inferior to him in this aspect, and she didn't know where he got so much energy.Is it true that all royal people are like this?Otherwise, how would the emperor deal with the 3000 beauties in the harem?

"It's getting late, go to bed early." He finally spoke, but there was no trace of emotion in his tone. She wondered if he was annoyed at her now.

But within the time of a cup of tea, Meng Zihan knew that he did not give up tonight.

Although this proved that he wasn't really angry, she should be thankful for this, but... how should she deal with it?

She gently patted his hand off, almost pleading: "Let me go tonight."

"Do you think it's okay?"

"Can you do it tomorrow night?" She tried to bargain.

In fact, Mu Xuanchen knew in his heart that she wanted to rest, not because she hated him, but whenever he lay down next to her and hugged her to sleep, he couldn't control himself.

He will never allow anyone to use her innocence to hurt her, otherwise he must let those people get the retribution they deserve.

Originally, the wedding should take some time to prepare, but after the matter of the eldest prince and Meng Zihan, Mu Xuanyi was afraid that rumors would eventually spread, and that the minister of the Ministry of War would have some ideas, and the eldest prince's injuries were all over. Healed, so the date was brought forward.

Seeing that Mu Xuanyi hadn't moved much these two days, the fourth prince let go of his hanging heart, not to mention that with Concubine Hui's guarantee, he didn't need to worry so much anymore.

Concubine Hui has always been in charge of his affairs, so for him, eating, drinking and having fun is the main thing.

Inside the Jingren Palace, the First Prince and Lin Xiangyu, the granddaughter of the Minister of War, were sitting with each other having their own concerns.

All the ceremonies had been completed, and the bride and all the maids had exited the new house. She was so nervous that she seemed to only hear her own heartbeat.She held the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly, but her palms were still sweating.

She never thought that she would be pointed to Mu Yuanze, the emperor's most favored eldest prince.

However, she has never seen the real face of the First Prince.

On the day of the draft girl, she only saw the fourth prince walking down from the stand. Fortunately, the emperor said in time that because the eldest prince was not there, he pointed out the marriage and pointed her to the first prince, otherwise she might marry or not want to marry. The fourth prince.

Although she didn't know what the eldest prince looked like, she heard from her father that he was a mature, introverted, good-looking and rare talent for governing the country.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She turned her head slightly through the Xipa on her head, and saw the high boots of the First Prince. He was still sitting beside her, but she couldn't figure out why he was so slow to take off her Xipa, could it be that he was unwilling? marry her?

Mu Yuanze frowned tightly, he felt that the person sitting next to him was watching him, but he was still unwilling to raise his hand to uncover the Xipa.

So far, he has not received any news from Meng Zihan. He doesn't know if she will be punished by Mu Xuanchen, if she will live a hard life because of that incident, if she will...

He was worried, but no one dared to mention anything about Princess Chen in front of him.

He knew that this was his father's secret order, and he just didn't want him to worry about it anymore.However, he still couldn't let go, he couldn't let go of this heart without seeing her well and hearing with his own ears that she was well.

Turning his head to look at the prince and concubine who Ming Media was marrying, he knew that she was innocent and just a victim of marriage, but he couldn't make any promises to her.

Suddenly, he stood up, Lin Xiangyu was obviously startled.

Seeing that he was about to go out, she had no choice but to let go of her girlish reserve and said, "Elder Prince... It's late at night, where are you going?"

"I have to finish sword practice every night before I can fall asleep, so you should go to bed first." He casually found a far-fetched reason.

Lin Xiangyu's heart suddenly tugged.

Tonight is their bridal chamber wedding night, her husband actually abandoned her and left her to sleep alone, if word got out, how would she deal with herself in the future?How should the Lin family behave?

"But... tonight..." Full of grievances, she hesitated to persuade her to stay, but she heard the merciless sound of closing the door.

She pulled down the Xipa with trembling hands, and two tear stains slid down her innocent face at the same time as the Xipa slipped down.

She didn't know what she did wrong tonight, she didn't even say anything, she didn't do anything, even so, she still dissatisfied the eldest prince, he didn't even see her face.

In the courtyard, the eldest prince practiced with a sword in his hand, but Meng Zihan's voice and smile could never get out of his mind.

He knew that she was Princess Chen now, and he could do nothing more, but he just wanted to know if she was safe now.He also wanted to visit Prince Chen's mansion, but he knew that if she lived well, his rash going there would only cause her more trouble, so he endured it.

For so many years, he has never been tempted by any woman, but he fell in love with her at first sight when he saw her, but why is she the concubine Chen?But it's his second uncle's woman whom he respects the most?

why?
He kept struggling in his heart, and when he finished practicing the sword, the flowers in the flower pots in the courtyard were all ruined, and all the petals were flying all over the sky and finally fell to the ground.

Looking at the mess all over the ground, he dragged his sword and walked towards the study with heavy steps.

next day
The fourth prince lazily hugged his newlywed concubine, and when he heard the knock on the door, he got up reluctantly.

Today, the two couples are going to kneel down to worship their parents, and even if he is reluctant, he must abide by the rules set by his ancestors.

"Fourth prince..." The fourth prince and concubine on the bed...Concubine Yao murmured in a low voice, and embraced him with a jade arm.

The fourth prince smiled charmingly, turned around and slid one hand on her body wantonly, and said frivolously: "Don't want to get up? Or can't get up?"

Concubine Yao blushed and said coquettishly: "I hate it, it's time to get up and say hello to father and mother."

After bowing down to the emperor, concubines Hui and Concubine Qin, the two couples returned to their palaces.

The fourth prince walked halfway, but saw his entourage running over happily, after he dismissed Concubine Yao, the entourage came up to him and reported: "Fourth prince, something happened with the eldest prince."

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing his wicked smile, the Fourth Prince knew that there must be good news, so it was not in vain for him to send someone to watch him all night.

"The First Prince did not sleep in the new house last night. During the first watch, the First Prince came out of the new house and practiced sword in the courtyard."

"Practice sword?" The fourth prince sneered, "This moment is worth a thousand gold, and he didn't accompany his newlywed concubine to practice sword in the courtyard! Is there something wrong with him?"

"The slave also saw that the First Prince went directly to the study after finishing his sword practice, and did not go back to the new house."

The fourth prince put his hips on his hips and couldn't figure it out: "Then have they consummated their marriage?"

"Although the servant did not dare to peek at the door, he did not hear any movement in the First Prince's room, so this servant can be sure that the First Prince and Concubine Yu have not consummated their marriage."

"Tch! He, he didn't want to enjoy such a beautiful woman? On the day of the draft girl, I was annoyed that my father chose the best one for him first, but I didn't expect him to not touch it! Could it be that my big brother can't? Haha Ha ha……"

Thinking of this, the First Prince couldn't stop laughing.

But if he thought about it carefully, it would be good to do so, if there was any change in that matter, he could start with the First Prince Concubine... Concubine Yu.

But... now he could get his hands on her too.

"Fourth prince, do you want to tell the emperor about this time?"

"Crack!" A loud slap landed on the back of his head, "Are you a pig's head? If you tell the father, aren't you telling him that I want you to monitor the eldest prince?"

"Yes, yes, it's the slave who is stupid."

"However..." The fourth prince started to think differently when he saw the figure not far away, "Since the elder brother has a wife, I should also pay a visit to my sister-in-law, otherwise wouldn't it be rude?
As he spoke, he walked towards Concubine Yu with a calculating face.

"Sister-in-law." The fourth prince walked up to Lin Xiangyu and bowed.

"So it's the fourth brother." Lin Xiangyu didn't expect the fourth prince to salute her, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

The fourth prince looked around and asked instead: "Why is sister-in-law walking alone? Why doesn't elder brother accompany sister-in-law?"

Lin Xiangyu's face was slightly embarrassed, she lowered her head and turned her eyes slightly, then replied with a smile: "The eldest prince...he has something to do, so he went to do it first."

"Brother is really diligent and motivated, I have to learn a little bit, otherwise my father will patronize this boastful brother." Seeing that Lin Xiangyu was slightly displeased, the fourth prince suppressed a smile and pretended to sigh: "Diligence is a good thing, but This newlywed is still only caring about business and not staying with sister-in-law, then it is the elder brother's fault, next time the fourth younger brother is the elder brother, he must talk about it carefully."

The more the fourth prince talked, the more Lin Xiangyu felt uncomfortable. On the wedding night, her husband didn't even look at her. When had she ever been wronged like this?Biting his lips and looking up, he was completely calm: "I don't know when the fourth brother will be?"

The fourth prince glanced at the entourage and then pursed his lips and smiled: "Fourth brother has something to say to sister-in-law alone, but I'm afraid that sister-in-law won't listen."

"I'm afraid it's not polite. If the fourth brother has something to say, please say it here."

Her words are very clear, there are many people here, there is no need to be taboo about what you say, and it will not be true. If you are alone, I am afraid it will cause criticism again.

"What I'm going to say...is the eldest brother's private matter. Could it be that sister-in-law wants me to say it here too?" The fourth prince grinned.

Sure enough, he was expected by the fourth prince. Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangyu immediately asked the maids to stay where they were, and walked forward with the fourth prince.

"Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Sister-in-law must have had a bad time last night, right?" The fourth prince directly cut to the point without giving her any chance to prepare herself.

"What do you mean?" At this moment, Lin Xiangyu's whole body froze in place, and finally managed to gather his composure and asked a word.

The fourth prince sneered: "This result is not unexpected, there is nothing to be surprised about, my eldest brother..."

"What do you know?" An ominous premonition rose in Lin Xiangyu's heart.

"Anyway... I know everything I need to know. For example... my eldest brother already has someone else in his heart, so it is conceivable that he must have neglected his sister-in-law on the wedding night, right? But this is not surprising."

"You said that the eldest prince has someone else in his heart? Who is it?" She never expected that she would live the life of a cold palace woman just after entering the palace.

No, she will never!
Seeing the ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, the corner of the fourth prince's mouth twitched: "You don't believe me, but this person is Princess Chen, the second uncle's woman."

"Princess Chen?" The answer made her feel incredible.

Long before entering the palace, she had heard that His Royal Highness Prince Chen had already doted on Concubine Chen, no matter what she did, he would protect her and prevent her from any harm.The two are very much in love with each other like glue, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen especially dotes on her for the sake of Concubine Chen's unmarried wife and concubine, so she couldn't believe it when she heard this name.

"Why, don't you believe it?" Seeing her shaking her head, the fourth prince said again, "My eldest brother fell in love with Princess Chen at first sight, and even had a tryst with Princess Chen in the forbidden place on the day you were drafting a girl." , otherwise, how could you not see my elder brother come out to draft girls?"

Lin Xiangyu was so startled that she took a few steps back. She never expected that the eldest prince would like her aunt. She heard that Princess Chen is so beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she is also his elder, isn't she?how come?
Seeing this, the fourth prince began to chase after the victory: "If you don't believe it, you can look for evidence in the room. I heard that the candied haws that Princess Chen gave him when they met for the first time, my brother still keeps it and regards it as a treasure."

After finishing speaking, he sneered again, isn't it just a bunch of candied haws, it's like getting a night pearl.

The fourth prince turned around and was about to say something to Lin Xiangyu, but she had already hurried back. He pursed his lips, looked at the lonely back who was going away, and showed a calculating smile in his eyes.Unexpectedly, the trick of "killing with a borrowed knife" really came in handy. When Concubine Hui taught him, he was a little disdainful. Now it seems that his mother and concubine are really capable, so he has to learn it.

Lin Xiangyu hurried back to Jingren Palace, drove all the maids out, and began to rummage through boxes and boxes in the bedroom. She didn't want to believe that what the fourth prince said was true, but what happened in the wedding night in the wedding room last night was still true. She had to believe it.

After rummaging through several cabinets, she finally found an exquisite long box. Holding the box, her nose felt sore, and her eyes began to heat up slightly.The hand holding the box trembled a little, because the box was big enough to hold a candied haws.

I don't know if it is a psychological factor, but his smell is faintly coming from the box.

Muster up the courage to open the box slowly...

When the object lying quietly in the box appeared in front of her eyes, tears began to flow down.

"Put down the box!" When he was still in pain, he suddenly heard an angry reprimand from the First Prince.Before she could react, the box in her hand had been snatched by him.

"Who told you to touch this box?" The eldest prince began to reprimand with an angry face.

She didn't expect that it was like this when she heard his voice for the first time... And then he saw her tearful eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head to check whether the contents in the box were intact. The eyebrows begin to merely gather together.

"You dirty it!"

She thought he would take pity on her, but who knew that his next sentence would be this sentence.

"I'm sorry, I just..." Before she could finish her sentence, the First Prince had already walked away with the box in his hands, leaving her alone in a daze and collapsed on the ground.

Early in the morning, Meng Zihan's screaming voice sounded again in Chenwang's mansion, and she was seen pestering Mu Xuanchen while asking, "Are you going to court again?"

Mu Xuanchen smiled helplessly and replied: "Yes."

"How long are you going today?" She pulled Mu Xuanchen and looked up at him like a child and asked anxiously.

"Hmm..." Mu Xuanchen really thought about it. He had to do something important today, so he couldn't come back early, carefully estimated the time, and finally took her in his arms and replied, "Maybe I have to do something today." Come back later."

"Why do you always have so many things to do? Can't you let someone else do it?" She began to complain. She used to feel that he was always stuck in Chenwang's mansion and looked upset, but now she always felt that he was always outside. It seems that there are endless things to do, and I don't have time to spend time with her.

But in fact, no matter ten years ago or ten years later, he is still him, but her heart is different.

"This matter has to be handled in person, and it's not safe to do it with a fake hand." He smiled lightly, no matter what, he had to handle that matter himself.Looking down at Meng Zihan, who had a slightly displeased face, his gentle expression was unmistakable, "Be obedient and don't run around. If you want to go out, let the guards follow you, and don't get lost again."

"I can't lose it. Didn't you let the guards 'secretly' protect you!" She deliberately emphasized the word "secretly", just to remind him that she already knew the fact that he had someone "survey" her.

"This is the bottom line. If you don't let them follow, then you can only let them watch in the mansion." Mu Xuanchen began to fight with her, but Meng Zihan immediately changed into a flattering smile and said: "That's still Let them protect it outside, hehe!"

Mu Xuanchen pinched her nose dotingly, he had nothing to do with this naughty princess, as long as she didn't leave him, no matter what she did, he would follow her.

"Why don't I accompany you into the palace..." She kindly suggested.

"No!" Mu Xuanchen refused straight away, at least not now.

The matter of that day was still on the cusp, and he would never allow her to be involved in the struggle in the court again. Even if she entered the palace, she would have to wait for it to be resolved before calming down for a while.

She sighed in disappointment: "I knew you weren't so kind, hey... I'm so pitiful, lonely and miserable..."

After finishing speaking, she squatted on the ground and began to draw circles lonely.

Mu Xuanchen smiled wryly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it just going to court, what a miserable thing."

"Put the box down!"

When he was still in pain, he suddenly heard an angry reprimand from the First Prince.Before she could react, the box in her hand had been snatched by him.

Early in the morning, Meng Zihan's bluffing voice sounded again in the Prince Chen's mansion, "Are you going to court again?"
