Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 729
It's true that she wasn't worried about this marriage, but Ruan Mianmian never thought that after this marriage, it would turn into such a situation.

It was already a scorching summer day, and Ruan Mianmian, who was nearly eight months pregnant, was enjoying the coolness in the waterside pavilion.In the censer next to it, there is incense for calming the nerves.

She had just walked around for a while, and now she was very sleepy.His cheeks were flushed, and there were still faint beads of sweat.Rongyu hurried over to wipe it for her, then stepped back gently and waited.

Half of the melon and fruit cakes on the low table next to me were eaten, and the rest of the Rongyu was taken away, and new desserts and melons and fruits were replaced.

Just wait for the empress to wake up, and there will be some snacks and fruits to eat in a while.

Ruan Mianmian snorted softly, not knowing what she had dreamed of.Rongyu thought she was awake, so she hurried over and asked softly, "Your Majesty?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one answered, I realized that the empress is still in a dream.

A maid from the outside came over quickly, the sun was very poisonous, the maid's cheeks were red, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing her coming, Rong Yu frowned and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

The maid hurriedly said: "Sister Rongyu, it's not good."

Rongyu frowned, glanced at the sleeping empress, motioned the maid to step back, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Sister Rongyu, that's the case. The servant just came from the court hall and heard that the prince of Nanjun was demoted to a commoner."

Rongyu was startled, and dared not say anything: "The prince of Nanjun was demoted to be a commoner?"

The palace maid nodded quickly, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the news is absolutely true. The servant girl just came over from there, and now it has spread all over the palace."

Rongyu frowned and asked, "Where is the prince of Nanjun now?"

Because the lord of the Xiliu Kingdom came late, the dinner that was originally scheduled for last night was not held, but was transferred directly to today's court hall, and he went directly to the emperor for a marriage gift.

But well, why was the prince of Nanjun demoted to be a commoner?Could it be that it was because the prince of Nanjun resisted the decree, so it happened?
All along, Rongyu felt that she must have guessed correctly.

Just now she was sure, the maid over there hurriedly said: "Sister Rongyu, I don't know the specific situation, I only know that when Xiliu Kingdom asked to marry the prince of Nanjun, the king of Nanjun who went to court with illness said that there is no What kind of son, there is only one commoner."

"Is there any more?" Rongyu asked.

The palace maid thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Princess Xirao of the Xiliu Kingdom immediately blushed when she heard about it, but she still persisted and asked to marry Mr. Feng...."

"But because the son of the prince of Nanjun was demoted to a commoner, the son of the prince of Nanjun is gone. Princess Xi Rao's edict requesting marriage with the prince of Nanjun has also become a piece of waste paper!"

Ruan Mianmian looked at Rongyu and the maid, and at some point opened her eyes, which were looking at them calmly.

"Your Majesty, when did you wake up? Did the servants quarrel with your Majesty?" Rong Yu looked at her in surprise.

Ruan Mianmian moved her body, and Rongyu hurried over to help her sit up.Ruan Mianmian's eyes fell on the maid over there: "Now, has Xizhen brought Princess Xiluo out of the palace?"

The palace maid lowered her head and said: "Go back to your mother, when the servant came back, it was said that Princess Xiluo was still in the palace. At this moment, the servant does not know."

Nodding slightly, Ruan Mianmian signaled the maid to step back.

A slight smile appeared on her face.The consciousness that was slightly blurred just now has also recovered exceptionally brightly.

Hehe, Feng Jiuyou told her not to worry, so this is the way?

The Feng Changxi she knew really liked a free life, disliked government affairs, and was too lazy to participate.Now he is clearly demoted to be a commoner, but his blood relationship with Nanjun King cannot be changed no matter what.

However, a relegation to a commoner directly cut off the marriage dream of Princess Xi Rao of the Xiliu Kingdom.

Today's court hall is probably extremely lively.She knew early in the morning that this marriage would not happen, but she did not expect Feng Jiuyou to make such a move.

The corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, Ruan Mianmian asked Rongyu: "Go and ask someone, see if Feng Changxi is going to court today?"

Rongyu nodded and walked out quickly.After a while, another court lady came outside, whispered to Rongyu, and then retreated.

Rongyu said softly: "Madam, Mr. Feng is ill today and is going to court."

The smile on the corner of his lips deepened.Looking up at the blue sky, Ruan Mianmian said with a smile: "Let me let the dead son's mansion take a look, let Feng Changxi come into the palace."

Since they met at the gate of the palace that day, they have not seen each other again.It's time to see each other.

What's more, with her current body, both Zhong Bo and Yu Qing said that it would be safer to let Feng Changxi come over to have a look.Judging by the faces of the two of them, she is afraid that this child will suffer again.

After a while, a young eunuch came outside, from the court hall, Ruan Mianmian was no stranger to it.

"Your servant sees the empress." The little eunuch saluted respectfully.

Ruan Mianmian looked at him with a smile: "But the emperor asked you to come over to pass on a message, I'm afraid we won't be able to have lunch together today?"

The little eunuch nodded quickly: "Go back to your majesty, the emperor sent the servants here, and he really wants to pass on this message. He also asked you to eat more, so that you can rest in the waterside pavilion. If you feel bored, you have asked someone to find a troupe to wait outside , come as you pass.”

Ruan Mianmian smiled and nodded: "I see, you can go back."

The little eunuch nodded, saluted again, and then slowly backed out.

Before falling asleep, her little mouth barely stopped, and she didn't feel hungry at the moment: "Rongyu, help me get up and walk, I've eaten too much."

Rongyu smiled and supported her: "Your Majesty should eat more now, so that the child in your womb will grow stronger."

Ruan Mianmian smiled and didn't speak.He just gently caressed his high and protruding abdomen, walked slowly, and looked at the lotus with green leaves and sky through the open window in the water pavilion.

"Ma'am, it's time for lunch." Rongyu reminded softly after walking for a while.

Shaking her head slightly, Ruan Mianmian said, "I'm not hungry for now, I'll walk for a while, and eat when I rest."

Rongyu nodded, and the maid who was waiting outside quickly retreated with the meal.

After a while, a court lady quickly came over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Feng is here."

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Please come in, Rongyu, and prepare tea."

Helping her to sit down and lowering the middle layer of gauze, Rongyu turned around to prepare tea, cakes and fruits.

Ruan Mianmian sighed, looked at Rongyu's back and said, "Rongyu, pull up this gauze curtain to block my sight."

Rongyu was a little hesitant, but noticed the pair of eyes behind the gauze curtain that had been staring at her, dawdled for a while, and pulled the gauze curtain up again.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Feng is here." The maid waiting outside said softly.

Sitting on the large and comfortable chaise longue, Ruan Mianmian said softly, "Let him in."

"Young Master Feng, this way please!"

After a while, Ruan Mianmian saw Feng Changxi, who was wearing a silver brocade robe, walking in.

On the gorgeous and elegant face, there is a seven-point gentle smile, as gentle as when I first saw him, and his fair skin is slightly red, it should be that he entered the palace in a hurry.

Before, his face was sickly, but now he looks more relaxed and bright.His eyes flickered, but he was not surprised at all.

Seeing Feng Changxi like this, Ruan Mianmian smiled: "Changxi, don't come here without any problems."

Feng Changxi nodded with a smile, and saluted respectfully: "Cao Min Feng Changxi, see the empress."

There was some disapproval between the brows, but Feng Changxi insisted, and Ruan Mianmian was helpless.This is the palace, he always insisted.

Smiling, Ruan Mianmian said, "Sit down quickly."

Feng Changxi smiled and thanked, then went to the opposite chair and sat down.Rongyu brought the tea over, then went to stand beside Ruan Mianmian.

"Rongyu, go outside and wait." Ruan Mianmian said flatly.

Rongyu lowered her eyes and walked out quickly.

"I heard that you are ill today and did not go to court." Ruan Mianmian cut to the chase.

Feng Changxi looked at her with a frank and clear expression: "It's fake to be ill, but it's true to avoid marriage."

Ruan Mianmian looked at him, wondering that, between him and Princess Xi Rao, when he was in South County, he had saved Princess Xi Rao.

Does he really have no affection for Xi Rao?

She thought, if Feng Changxi had Xi Rao in her heart, then although this marriage would be extremely unfavorable to the court, as long as Feng Changxi liked it, she would definitely make Feng Jiuyou happy.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Feng Changxi smiled gently: "I did save Princess Xi Rao's life before, but it was not I who brought her back to Nanjun, but she followed me there."

"I was against Princess Xirao back then, but the prince of one country had no other intentions when he saw the princess of a neighboring country helping him. As for Princess Xirao, it has nothing to do with me."

Ruan Mianmian looked at him, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a while, she asked: "About becoming a commoner..."

Feng Changxi said softly: "This is my own idea, and it is also the best way. You know, for me, power is far less important than freedom and freedom."

"I can study my medical books and see patients with peace of mind. Maybe I can encounter some intractable diseases and make unexpected progress in the medical field." He said it easily, and his pupils were black and bright.

Ruan Mianmian listened and watched, pursed her lips and said softly: "Indeed, it's good to be a commoner. You can do what you want, and help the people you want to help."

She used to be such a free and free person.

Quickly stopping this thought, looking at Feng Changxi opposite, Ruan Mianmian said softly: "Changxi, take my pulse, I've been dreaming lately."

When Feng Changxi heard the words, a strange look flashed across his eyes, he pursed his lips, and hummed lightly.

While feeling the pulse, Ruan Mianmian kept watching the changes in Feng Changxi's expression.To her disappointment, Feng Changxi's expression has always been gentle, and there is no change in sight.

So, those messy dreams she has every day are just pure dreams, and there is no other reason?
After a while, Feng Changxi let go of his mouth and stood up, sat back on the chair opposite, and looked at her gently: "The pulse condition is calm, but a little weak."

Looking at her face again, Feng Changxi asked: "Recently, I dream a lot at night, do they usually go on long trips or climb high?"

With a smile on his face, Ruan Mianmian nodded hastily: "Yes, it's always like this, so every day when I wake up, I always have no energy and am very tired."

"Here are some soothing pills, take one every morning." Feng Changxi took out a small bottle from her cuff and put it on the low table next to her: "I will ask the emperor to come into the palace every day to take your pulse .”

He didn't directly talk about her physical problem, but said it this way, Ruan Mianmian knew that this pregnancy was really difficult to estimate.

After Feng Changxi left, Ruan Mianmian ate some fruit and fell asleep again.
