Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 70 The Dedicated Prince Chen

Walking to the gate of the mansion, seeing Mengyun's strange expression, he felt that something must be wrong, so he took a few steps forward and looked forward without thinking much.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but it makes her half dead with anger.Just now I was worried that something happened to him, but I didn't expect to bring the woman back after only a long time!One is not enough, or two at once!

Judging from their looks, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and they are quite handsome and juicy.

Meng Zihan became more and more angry as he watched, staring at the carriage with his hips crossed, and staring at the two maids full of hostility, he began to curse in his heart: Damn Mu Xuanchen, you are so tender, don't you? Pedophile?
The carriage arrived, Xiaohai got off the carriage without paying attention, and prepared the pedals for them. When he reacted, he saw Meng Zihan standing at the door early, gnashing his teeth and glaring at him with his hands on his hips, so scared that he forgot In order to help Mu Xuanchen open the curtain, he carefully stood aside and waited for Mu Xuanchen to come out.

Mu Xuanchen leaned slightly and got out of the carriage. The two court ladies were very dedicated and wanted to help him. Fortunately, Xiao Hai and Ye Feng came to their senses at this time, and immediately stood in front of the court lady to help him get off the carriage.Regarding their abnormal behavior, Mu Xuanchen looked at them with a little astonishment, and following their eyes, he was greeted with an angry face.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xuanchen walked up to Meng Zihan and wanted to hold her arm, but she quickly took a step back before touching her.

"Come in!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the mansion.

Hearing this, Mu Xuanchen glanced at the others in embarrassment, then coughed dryly and followed Meng Zihan into the room.

The two palace maids looked at each other dumbfounded, obviously with an unexpected look, you must know that Mu Xuanchen's status in the palace is unmatched by no one except the emperor, and the concubine Chen in front of her is actually ordering His Royal Highness Chen Wang Come.But His Royal Highness Chen Wang didn't reprimand him angrily, instead he really followed in obediently.

"Ye Huwei, why does Princess Chen treat His Royal Highness like this?" A court lady couldn't help asking curiously.

Ye Feng glanced at Xiao Hai and the two looked at each other and smiled, Meng Yun approached politely and asked: "What are your names, why did you come to the Chen Palace with His Royal Highness?" Meng Yun knew that this was also the question Meng Zihan wanted to ask , as long as she asked but didn't ask, let her do it for her.

The two palace maids blessed the body and replied: "The servant girl Su Shi and Su Hua, because they are afraid of endangering their own lives because of the testimonials, they asked His Royal Highness Chen to save them. Thanks to His Royal Highness, they brought them back to Chen Wang's mansion."

Meng Yun couldn't hear it, what witnesses?What cost lives?After listening to Ye Feng's explanation, she suddenly realized.

She turned her eyes to the two young women and warned: "My name is Meng Yun, and I am the concubine's personal servant girl. In the palace of Prince Chen, you only need to serve the prince and concubine well, and don't worry too much about the rest." Ask, don’t look at what you shouldn’t see, don’t listen to what you shouldn’t hear, even if you hear something or see something, just pretend you didn’t hear it or see it, and just keep your part, you know?”

"Yes! Sister Xie Yun taught me." After all, the two came from the palace, and Meng Yun nodded with a little satisfaction.

In the courtyard

Meng Zihan crossed his arms and put on a questioning tone: "Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist!"

Mu Xuanchen couldn't help laughing: "What are you confessing?"

"Still pretending to be stupid!" She walked up to Mu Xuanchen and tiptoed to meet him at eye level, but found that he was still a little short of him, so she had no choice but to overwhelm him with her own aura, "What's the matter with those two maids? ? Why did you bring them back? Why are they sitting in the carriage? Why do they still want to touch you? Say!"

Facing Meng Zihan's questioning, a warm current surged in Mu Xuanchen's heart. The fact that she was angry with him showed that she cared about him, and that was enough to make him happy.

Seeing her domineering and pretty appearance, he gently wrapped her in his arms, and clasped her tighter when she struggled.

"Why are you asking so many questions at once?" His tone was unusually gentle, and it belonged only to her.

"Then are you going to say it or not?" Meng Zihan reminded himself with puffed lips, he must not let him go because of his low profile, and he will not give up until he gets an answer.

"Okay... say..." Mu Xuanchen smiled wryly, seeing her posture, could he not say anything.

Holding her hand and sitting on the padded stone bench next to him, he patiently began to explain: "Do you know that Concubine Hui has been sidelined?"

"Really? How could this unbeatable Xiaoqiang be thrown into the cold palace? But she should have gone to hell long ago! This is really seeing..." Meng Zihan immediately beamed with joy when he heard Mu Xuanchen's words , actually put his hands together and thanked the sky.

Seeing her sudden change, Mu Xuanchen couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed again.

Hearing the laughter, Meng Zihan realized that what he wanted to know didn't seem to be this matter, so he slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't bother to talk about him, I'm not talking about this, please be honest!"

"Okay..." She was the one who was surprised, but why did he talk about him, Mu Xuanchen shook his head helplessly and continued, "Actually, the last time you were fainted in the forbidden area was Concubine Hui instigated, and the court lady who falsely passed on the imperial decree has been silenced by her, and there was no proof of her death, but it was only with the correction of the other two court ladies that the true face of Concubine Hui could be revealed."

"You mean the two court ladies brought back by you?" Meng Zihan asked.Seeing Mu Xuanchen nodded, her face was full of displeasure again, "If you testify, you will testify, why do you bring them back? Could it be that you want to give yourself to them in order to thank them?"

Mu Xuanchen smiled wryly, what kind of fallacy was she talking about, she had never seen a man want to give her body.

"What nonsense, they offended Concubine Hui in the palace, didn't you think that the Fourth Prince would harm them?"

Meng Zihan lowered his head and thought for a while, and he was right, if they stayed in the palace, they would definitely die.

But after thinking about it again, something seemed wrong, squinting close to Mu Xuanchen and asking: "When did His Royal Highness be so sympathetic to women? Or is it a lie to save them, and it's true to look at their youth and beauty?"

"Are they young and beautiful?" Seeing her jealous look, Mu Xuanchen felt a little complacent.

But such a simple sentence from him coaxed Meng Zihan, and she held her head and said with a smile, "It's not too bad." But after a while of being happy, she suddenly glared at him and warned, "But Let me say it first, don't try to steal like a cat, no matter whether it is physical or mental, you are not allowed to cheat, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Mu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh! So overbearing!"

"Is this overbearing? You brought the woman back to the palace without my consent, or brought it back in your carriage. How can you make me, the princess, faceless? And you haven't answered my question just now. "

"Didn't you already answer?" Mu Xuanchen had an innocent expression.

"No! Don't try to get away with it. I repeat, why are they sitting in the carriage? Why do they still want to touch you?"

"Don't let them sit in the carriage, should they sit in the carriage? Or let them walk? Or let them ride with Ye Feng?"

Meng Zihan was right when he thought about it: "Is there another question?"

"What you said...the two of them started to touch me...how did this start?"

"When you got out of the car, they wanted to help you. Fortunately, Xiao Hai and Ye Feng responded quickly, otherwise the three of you would have succeeded."

"Successful?"

"Isn't it? I don't believe that you brought them back because they testified for you. Do you think I'm stupid?" Meng Zihan clasped his fingers on the stone table, as if he was tortured to extract a confession.

"Sure enough, it's "Master Meng", you've seen it all." Mu Xuanchen thought of her appearance as a county magistrate disguised as a man, and couldn't help but want to tease her.

Meng Zihan didn't understand the joke in front of him, but was furious at the last sentence: "Oh... I guessed it right, you have taken a fancy to them, hmph!"

In a fit of anger, he stomped his feet and turned around to leave, but he grabbed his arm in time, and with a slight swipe, he bumped into his arms and was still hugged tightly by him.

"Why are you angry again? I haven't finished my sentence, what are you in a hurry for?" Just now, he deliberately teased her to see her reaction. The result made him very satisfied, so he told her what he really wanted. It also reassured her, "The two of them are well-trained maids in the palace, and their character is pure. If they take care of Han'er, I will feel much more at ease."

"Didn't I have Xiaoyun!"

"Hasn't Han'er thought about the future? Ye Feng and Mengyun are married now, maybe she will be pregnant sometime, who will take care of Han'er by then?"

Meng Zihan bowed his head and remained silent.

"Although the maids in the mansion have also been adjusted, they are still not as reassuring as those two maids. They would rather risk their lives to testify for the deceased to rest in peace. This is enough to prove their character. Listening to their conversations can also tell them They are people who know the basics and know how to measure, so I am relieved to let them serve Han'er."

It turned out that everything he did was for her, Meng Zihan couldn't help but flushed his eyes, but then he said duplicity: "Tell them so well, there is no guarantee that one day you will like the new and hate the old."

"It's fine if you don't like the new and dislike the old." Mu Xuanchen pointed, but Meng Zihan smiled smugly.

"My lord! My concubine!" Meng Yun came at the right time, not too early and not too late. After serving Meng Zihan for so long, she has already been able to grasp her proportions well.

Meng Zihan looked at the two maids, and felt much more pleasing to the eye at this moment.

"The maidservant has asked Su Shi and Su Hua to change their clothes. I don't know how the prince and princess will arrange these two girls?"

Mu Xuanchen looked at Meng Zihan and turned his head and said, "Let them take care of the princess's daily life in the future. You can arrange the rest of Mengyun yourself and tell them what to do."

"Yes!" Meng Yun didn't ask any further questions, turned around and took the two maids down.

Walking out of the courtyard, Su Hua muttered with a surprised look: "This, His Royal Highness Chen Wang is actually smiling..." Looking up at Meng Yun, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and then apologized, "I'm sorry Sister Yun, Su Hua excuse me."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Meng Yun's mouth: Only when the concubine is by his side can the prince smile.

After listening to Su Shi and Su Hua, I was even more surprised. I didn't expect that a mountain is higher than a mountain, and even the emperor respects him three points. His Royal Highness Chen Wang is so gentle and considerate to Chen Wang. He is always happy and angry in front of people. It is unbelievable to them that His Royal Highness Chen Wang, who is so serious and unsmiling, can only smile so captivatingly in front of Concubine Chen.

Before they knew it, it had been a month since Su Shi and Su Hua came to the mansion. What they didn't expect was that the life in Prince Chen's Mansion was much more comfortable than in the palace, and the two masters were also very easy to serve. As picky as the masters in the palace, apart from being childish, they don't have any strict requirements at all.The point is, her childish temper is only towards their Royal Highness Chen Wang.

They also understood that the cold-blooded and ruthless His Royal Highness Chen Wang had nothing to do with Chen Wang Concubine in Chen Wang's mansion. He would just laugh it off and never get angry with her when she was playing tricks. .

The two of them are used to serving their master who is difficult to serve. Their life now is like going from purgatory to heaven. The two little girls are beaming all day long.

However, in the past two days, Meng Zihan has gotten up later and later, or it may be because of the colder weather, he looks sleepy every day, and never gets up before Si Shi, and Mu Xuanchen never wakes up Every time she goes out, she never forgets to tell Mengyun to prepare meals at any time, in case she doesn't eat in time when she wakes up, for fear that she will be hungry.

Meng Yun is already used to it, but she is so envious of Su Shi and Su Hua that she is full of praise for their Highness Chen Wang, until Meng Yun reminds them that they restrain themselves.

Meng Zihan opened her eyes in a daze, propped herself up and looked outside, the weather looked good today, but why did she want to sleep again when she saw the sunshine?It's really getting rich and sick soon. If you eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat, if this continues, you will become a pig.

no!It can't go on like this, now it's not Yang Guifei's dynasty, if she eats too much, her "tall, rich and handsome" prince will have to be seduced by others.You can't take it away.

The three people outside the door heard the movement in the room, and immediately knocked lightly on the door: "Princess! Can the servants come in?"

This is their rule as maidservants. If Mu Xuanchen is still in the room, they must not get close. If Mu Xuanchen goes to court or leaves, they must strictly guard the door so that they can serve Mengzi as soon as possible. Get up cold.

"En! Come in!" Meng Zihan replied lazily.

Hearing the sound, the three of them entered together, one to change her clothes, one to dress her up, and one to prepare her toiletries, none of the three was idle.

"Princess, you don't seem to be looking very well. Could it be that you are sick?" Meng Yun couldn't help feeling worried when he saw her slightly haggard face while dressing her.

Meng Zihan looked in the mirror, her face was indeed not as rosy as before, but she didn't care, she smiled and said, "I guess I slept too much in the past few days, it seems that I really can't be so lazy in the future."

Su Hua smiled and said: "Princess, you are joking, you are a dignified concubine, of course you want to enjoy the glory and wealth, how can you work?"

Su Shi also agreed with a smile: "Yes, if the concubine is going to do some work, His Royal Highness Chen Wang will not be so distressed to death!"

Meng Zihan suddenly blushed and pretended to be slightly angry: "You little girl, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

"Princess, what Su Shi said is right. His Royal Highness Chen is very devoted to the concubine. We have been in the palace for a long time, and we have never seen the emperor love so much for any concubine, even the most favored concubine. For my concubine, the emperor will only stay for five days at most, and will go to another palace on the sixth day."

Hearing what Su Hua said, Meng Zihan sighed, women in ancient times were so sad, and they don't know how long her Royal Highness Chen Wang can be dedicated.

She put her hands on her cheeks and thought: "Maybe in a few years, or maybe just in the blink of an eye, he will fall in love with another young and beautiful woman, and then bring her back to the mansion to take care of her."

"How could it be! The princess is worrying too much." Meng Yun comforted.

Meng Zihan didn't take it seriously: "Why not, you don't advocate monogamy here, no matter how many wives a man marries, it doesn't count as bigamy. It's really unfair."

Su Hua was about to say something, but Meng Yun signaled to stop her immediately, because she had already expected that Su Hua would say "it's normal for a man to have multiple wives", if such words came out, Meng Zihan would definitely jump up in anger.

"Princess, don't worry too much. This servant believes that the prince will not disappoint the concubine. The meal has been prepared. The concubine should go to eat, don't be hungry."

Hearing what Mengyun said, she felt that she was really hungry after touching her stomach, so she stopped complaining about herself and went out to have dinner after grooming.

In the past month, there has been no movement from the fourth prince, which surprised Mu Xuanchen.His spies came to report that the fourth prince only walked around the eldest prince's place occasionally, and he didn't see any other movements, which made him a little suspicious.

Mu Xuanchen was planning to go back to the mansion directly after the court today, but Mu Xuanyi asked Mu Xuanchen to help him because of the memorial presented by some ministers, so he could only stay and deal with Mu Xuanyi's worries State affairs.

At this time, the fourth prince turned down and walked thoughtfully, and when he saw the eldest prince walking behind with a frowning expression, he stopped in his tracks.

"Brother, is this going back to Jingren Palace?" The fourth prince asked knowingly, the eldest prince never went back to Jingren Palace every day, and even stayed overnight in the study at night, but he had already planned for such a question.

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment and then replied: "I still have something to do, so I won't go back."

"Big Brother, is something on your mind?" The Fourth Prince looked concerned.

"I don't have anything on my mind." The eldest prince put his hands behind his back with a calm expression, but the fourth prince could tell that he was expected, otherwise his hands would not have tightened when he asked that sentence just now.

Following in the footsteps of the eldest prince, the fourth prince said as he walked: "The fourth brother knows that the elder brother doesn't like the current eldest prince and concubine. As for who the eldest brother wants to marry, the fourth younger brother is inconvenient to say more." Seeing the eldest prince's expression change , the corner of the fourth prince's mouth raised, "It's just... the fourth brother persuaded me with kind words. The concubine Yu was chosen by the emperor himself. Even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do. As sons and servants, we can only accept it, even if there are thousands of dissatisfaction in our hearts. Be happy, but be patient."

"Thank you fourth brother for your kindness. If there is nothing else, elder brother will go ahead." The eldest prince raised his leg and was about to leave, but stopped because of the fourth prince's next words.

"Brother, as a man, he can bear it for a while. At most, he will marry a concubine in the future. However, as a woman, if she marries the wrong person...that would be really pitiful." He glanced at the eldest prince and continued with a straight expression, " Especially for women who are misunderstood to have an affair with others, that day will be sad..."

After saying this, the Fourth Prince turned around and prepared to leave, when the First Prince questioned him as expected.

"What are you talking about? Who are you talking about?"

The fourth prince said without turning his head: "Brother should be very clear about who I am talking about. As for how to be sad... I don't know, but the degree of suffering depends on how the woman's husband is." temper."

Without further elaboration, the fourth prince stepped forward and left.

The eldest prince froze in place, he knew that the fourth prince was talking about Princess Chen, and he still remembered the scene when they left. He wanted to go out of the palace to see what happened, but because of his father's words, he gave up the idea.

But something must have happened to her now, otherwise his fourth brother wouldn't have said it so clearly, and a woman was caught by her husband on the spot and she was in the same room with others and her clothes were disheveled. The result...

Suddenly, the scene of Mu Xuanchen ruthlessly strangling his neck appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help trembling all over, not because of fear, but because he was worried about her.

No, he is going to save her, and he can't let her be wronged for no reason, and can't let her be beaten by his second uncle. If there is nothing wrong, he will treat her as a visit. If she really has something to do, even if he loses the position of the prince, he will To take her away.

The eldest prince didn't think any more, and rushed towards the gate of the palace.

"Prince, where are you going?" The prince's entourage hurriedly followed.

"Go and prepare the carriage." He stopped and hurriedly said a word.

"Carriage? Where is the First Prince going?"

The First Prince didn't answer, but gave him a cold look, and the attendant hurriedly agreed and went to prepare.

It wasn't until they passed the market that the attendants knew that the eldest prince was going to the Prince Chen's mansion. This is not a good sign. If His Highness the Prince Chen knew that he was visiting, he might cause trouble again. Just as he was about to persuade him, the carriage had already arrived At the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion.

The eldest prince jumped down and was stopped at the door. Although Mending didn't know the eldest prince, he could tell from his clothes that he must be from the palace. However, the rules of the Prince Chen's mansion are very strict. The dignitaries are not allowed to enter without notification.

"This is the eldest prince, here to visit His Royal Highness Prince Chen." The eldest prince's entourage hurriedly identified themselves.

Men Ding said apologetically: "So it was the eldest prince who came here, and he hoped to make amends for his negligence. It's just that His Royal Highness Chen Wang has not yet returned to the mansion. I wonder if the eldest prince needs to leave a message?"

"Second uncle...hasn't returned to the residence yet?" The First Prince couldn't help muttering softly, "Could it be that he's still in the palace?"

Mu Xuanchen is not in the mansion, if he breaks in like this, I'm afraid it will be true, and things that don't exist will be said as if they are true. It doesn't matter to him, he is afraid of ruining her reputation, but... If I go back like this, I don't feel at ease.

A familiar and crisp cry made the first prince who was bowing his head in thought suddenly tense up. It was Meng Zihan's cry. Could it be that she was really being punished?
Regardless of all etiquette and Mending's dissuasion, he rushed into the mansion.

When he saw her, she fell to the ground with a haggard face, and there was only one maid beside her ready to help her up. He clustered his eyebrows, pushed away Meng Yun beside Meng Zihan, and helped Meng Zihan up stand up.

"This is..." Meng Yun was puzzled, and the doormen hurriedly explained, but Meng Yun didn't say much, and motioned them to take the entourage of the eldest prince down, because she also knew something from Ye Feng, so she didn't say anything. Make more statements.

When Meng Zihan saw the eldest prince appearing in front of her safe and sound, she forgot the identity relationship between the two of them for a moment, grabbed his arm and looked at him, feeling a little excited: "Eldest prince? Are you really okay?" I'm really worried that something happened to you."

The eldest prince was amused by her first words, and replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing..." But looking at her face up close, it's really not very good, maybe it's from the past Did his second uncle treat her badly in the days?
"Why do you look so bad? Could it be that the second uncle punished you for the previous misunderstanding?" His expression was so flustered that even Meng Yun, who was standing beside him, felt that something was wrong.You must know that there shouldn't be such a look between them.

Meng Zihan gently caressed her cheek, and when she looked in the mirror today, she also noticed that it looked sick, but she didn't have a fever or other symptoms.Looking up at the eldest prince, she said with a slight smile: "It's true that I look pale, but I haven't received any punishment."

"Don't lie to me again. The second uncle must have done something to you. Did he punish you not to eat? Or let you live in a damp and damp room, or... did he get someone to beat you? Did he beat you?" Are you here?"
