my awesome king

Chapter 26

Ji Xiaomo was the same age as her, to be precise, she was still a few months older.They grew up together, and there is no trace of them playing together in this vast palace.He was naughty when he was a child, and once climbed a tree to pick a kite for her, and was punished by the first emperor to kneel down in the ancestral hall.Later, he folded off the peonies that the late empress liked most for her, and gave her a large bunch, but was reprimanded by the late empress.He taught her calligraphy and painting, and even harmonized with her zither and flute.When she hurt her finger while practicing the piano, he also thoughtfully took medicine for her...

Looking at such a young boy carved in pink and jade, with picturesque eyebrows, which girl would not cherish spring...

After growing up, the Seventh Prince became even more handsome and suave, astonishingly talented.Reciting poems and painting, riding a horse and being good at archery, his reputation spread far and wide in the capital, and everyone praised him.Standing beside him, she felt an inexplicable sense of pride.Because he is hers!
Li Yanshan still remembers that when Ji Xiaomo was 15 years old, he was sitting on a white horse, his white clothes set off his extraordinary elegance, and his eyes were warm: "Yanshan, I will catch a little white rabbit for you to play with."

She raised her head and looked at those dark eyes, which were as bright and dazzling as stars, so beautiful that her heart was pounding.Her heart couldn't help moving, and she finally understood what kind of thoughts she had for the boy in front of her during the short 15 years of getting along with her...

However, unexpected events happened. During the autumn hunt, the wild beasts went berserk. When fleeing, the eldest prince fell off his horse and hit his head on a rock to die. Ji Xiaomo's right leg was pierced by a branch.Although the imperial physician treated him in time, the medicine was useless, and Ji Xiaomo fell into the root cause of his illness from then on, which was not conducive to good deeds, and even his body became weaker and weaker, and his life was not long...

It is impossible for her to put her own happiness on a person who cannot walk normally and may die at any time.So under her father's arrangement, she entered the palace as a concubine.

However, in just five short years, everyone seems to have forgotten that the Seventh Prince, who was rumored to be sickly and dying, was once as dazzling as a bright moon...

Lifting the phoenix eyes slightly, Ji Xiaomo said lightly, "Yes, sister-in-law."

With the help of the light, Ji Xiaomo looked at the affectionate beauty in front of him. After three years of seeing each other, she grew from a young girl to a real woman, becoming more and more beautiful, just like the poem he personally wrote for her back then—Peony Yanyan , Ying Luo drifts away.Now it has changed from the original pure and charming, and added a bit of charm that captivates all living beings, like a stunning peony in full bloom.

He looked at her calmly, his warm eyes were very quiet, for some reason, Mu Shuiqing's eloquent voice suddenly made his mood very peaceful.

His childhood sweetheart made him decide that he had to marry her.Obviously witty, he is good at poetry and poetry, but he becomes inarticulate in front of the person he likes.He was good at painting, so he used paintings to describe her faces from childhood to adulthood one by one, expressing his feelings.

The once strong liking, the melancholy of not being able to get it, and even more inexplicable emotions, unexpectedly after seeing her after a long time, it turned out to be so plain as waves, as if standing in front of him was an unfamiliar old friend .

As for why the painting is still hanging in the study three years later, it's not that he still likes her and can't forget her, but that he forces himself not to like her, and forces himself to face the things he once avoided.Only by sprinkling salt on one's own heartache cruelly can one truly grow up.

People always grow up.Three years, this period of time, is enough.

He can't be stuck in the memory forever.

Seeing the young man who was once gentle and considerate to her become so indifferent, Li Yanshan felt a pang of sadness in her heart: "Xiao Mo, back then I was actually..." She looked at him with a hint of resentment, her black eyes seemed to be turned upside down. It's really aggrieved to get a Wang Qiushui.

Ji Xiaomo's chest was suffocated, his slender fingers covered his lips and coughed in pain, his face was as pale as paper.

"Why are you coughing up blood again? Are you still not drinking your medicine as before?" Li Yanshan quickly squatted down and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe the blood from his lips, but Mu Shuiqing snatched it away. Squeezed away, almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Mu Shuiqing patted Ji Xiaomo's back while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Her movements were so proficient that she seemed to have done it thousands of times. It was a habit of being a nurse in her previous life, but in the eyes of others, it was She has always served Ji Xiaomo's considerate and intimate behavior.

The smile on her face was shy and moving: "Now I am serving the prince to drink medicine, saying that because I have not met my concubine, I have no motivation to live. Now that I have met the person I want, I am willing to fight to the end for my concubine and the illness... Lord..."

Mu Shuiqing raised his voice and called out the word "Wang Ye" in a very nasty manner, his movements were gentle and considerate, and his eyes were deeply affectionate: "Your Highness is really good at coaxing people..."

Li Yanshan's face was pale, and she was tightly scratching the paper fan in her hand.If she suddenly left angrily at this time, it would be revealing her own thoughts and falling behind.So she stood deadlocked by the two of them, and with a forced smile, she saw Mu Shuiqing gently pat Ji Xiaomo's back, looking like a gentle and gentle wife.

Ji Xiaomo said lightly: "Sister-in-law, the palace banquet has begun, and brother Huang is looking for you."

Seeing Ji Xiaomo step down the steps, Li Yanshan left with a disheartened face.But after going back, Ji Hangyuan's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made her heart sink, and then she quickly raised her smiling face and said "Your Majesty".

Originally, Mu Shuiqing wanted to tease Li Yanshan with a few strong flavors, to see if she would show her true colors and glared, but who knows, Ji Xiaomo not only didn't help her, but even let her go.She hasn't played enough yet!
Mu Shuiqing pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm avenging you, you don't cooperate at all, it's boring." She threw the brocade handkerchief on him in dissatisfaction.

Ji Xiaomo restrained his smile, stared at her with his glazed black eyes for a moment, and said coldly, "Don't make trouble."

Seeing that his expression was extremely cold and his tone was stiff, instead of getting angry, Mu Shuiqing held his hand very naturally and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

His hands were so cold that it surprised her.Mu Shuiqing deliberately held his hands in his palms and rubbed them warmly, then asked softly: "Hands are so cold, do you still feel unwell? Do you want some hot water?"

Ji Xiaomo originally thought that she would turn her face like last time and leave angrily, but she suddenly held his hands, he raised his head in surprise, and bumped into Mu Shuiqing's clear eyes.Those eyes were clean and clear, revealing deep concern, without any concealment at all.

The warm touch came wave after wave, searing his palm bit by bit, provoking his stiff heartbeat.

"It's okay." Ji Xiaomo smiled lightly, trying to ignore his sudden beating heart, looking calm.

His tone was not intentionally gentle, it was still the indifferent temperature before, but it made Mu Shuiqing startled, feeling that something was different.

She rubbed his cold hands, looked at his pale face, and said angrily, "You said it's okay, your hands are so cold. The wind is very strong outside, and your face has turned pale. I want you to wear more clothes this morning, you Always don't listen, no, it's demeanor but not warmth." She knew that since just now, there had been two probing eyes on her body from a distance, so she deliberately flirted with Ji Xiaomo with.

Hey, she is the queen of the movie!
Ji Xiaomo was dissatisfied and retorted: "It's obviously the outlet chosen by the concubine, causing me to keep coughing and catching cold...cough cough cough..."

This time, Ji Xiaomo cooperated so much, flirting with her, the smile on Mu Shuiqing's face became more gentle unconsciously, and she said softly: "Stop talking, drink some hot water first... Warm up...Come on, my lord, I will feed you..." Anyway, they were sitting in the corner of the door, except for those who watched them specially, the others were all focused on watching the song and dance performance in the middle of the hall, not aware of the ambiguity between them move.

Ji Xiaomo squinted his eyes, but didn't resist, and put Mu Shuiqing's dishes into his mouth with a smile.

Ji Heng stared from afar.Although Mu Shuiqing was beautiful, she had always put on a bitter face before, and she was dull and dull, which often turned him off.If he didn't intend to get close to her to get news from the Ministry of War, he wouldn't even want to stay by her side for a moment.But after seeing her for a long time, he felt that Mu Shuiqing was not the original Mu Shuiqing, she would smile happily, blushing, her face was like a beautiful jade, her skin was tender and beautiful, and he realized that he had really misjudged him before.Perhaps, Mu Shuiqing is really a rare piece of beautiful jade.

Seeing the people who once admired her flirt with Mu Shuiqing, the king and husband sitting next to him have not taken his eyes off her since Mu Shuiqing entered the palace, apparently he was seduced by the goblin Mu Shuiqing. Losing her soul, she was distracted, and Li Yanshan only felt that there seemed to be a fierce jealous fire burning in her chest, wanting to burn her internal organs and six lungs to ashes.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, my concubine wants to dance a neon dress and feather dress dance to cheer up the fun." Li Yanshan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her, her beautiful eyes overflowed with anticipation, and there was an unexplained smile on her red lips "Sister Shuiqing is the most talented woman in the capital. She is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Especially Sister Shuiqing's elegant piano skills. Every time the concubines compete with her, they are slightly inferior, and they feel inferior. So Today, my concubine would like to invite my younger sister to play a piece of "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" to accompany my concubine and cheer you up, is that possible?"

"My concubine is a good idea." Ji Heng looked at Mu Shuiqing from a distance, and said inexplicably, "Sister-in-law, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's play a piece of music to cheer you up." Immersed in it for a long time.Li Yanshan's dance in neon clothes and feather clothes is extremely beautiful, and the fusion of the two must be wonderful.

What, play the piano? !Mu Shuiqing is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she doesn't know anything, she can't do anything!The only backgammon and reversi chess that can bluff people was also completely killed by Ji Xiaomo, disgraced the face of modern people...

Li Yanshan smiled viciously in her heart: Mu Shuiqing, today I will make you lose face in front of everyone.The strings of the zither broke suddenly, I'll see how you end up then!

"I don't have a piano with me..." Mu Shuiqing cowardly said.

"I'm ready for my sister. Come and play the piano." Li Yanshan smiled softly, "Does my sister have any questions?"

Mu Shuiqing didn't notice that the guzheng had moved, but she discovered something else!She turned her eyes, and suddenly said worriedly: "Sister-in-law Huang is pregnant, how can she dance? I think it's enough for sister-in-law Huang's wishes..."

Li Yanshan retorted, with a cold light shining on her red lips: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am three months pregnant, and the imperial doctor said that exercising more is good for raising the fetus. I think dancing will be fine."

Jumping around in the third trimester of pregnancy is prone to miscarriage!In order to let her play the piano, she even ignored her own body? !Could there be some conspiracy? !

Seeing that Mu Shuiqing was hesitating, Li Yanshan frowned and said softly: "Today, all the ministers gather for the festive reunion, and I will give up my status and take on a pregnant body to dance for everyone. My sister seems unwilling, But is there any difficulty? Or don't give face to this palace and His Majesty?"

Mu Shuiqing's face instantly became bitter.A pregnant woman wants to dance, so what if she, a non-pregnant woman with sound limbs, plays the piano... And it's still in front of the officials, if she doesn't agree, won't it be a shame to your majesty and empress... Her trick is really good it is good……

"I am willing."
