Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 17 The Concubine Came From Jiangnan

Although everyone thought that King Mu was calling for her, only she knew best that it was impossible.

Just because she didn't know why King Mu summoned her so late, Haitang was unspeakably nervous.The room was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.

In her previous life, she was not so nervous, because she was almost transparent in Mu Wang's eyes, and she herself could be as calm as water.

But right now, there seems to be waves in this ancient well.

Xiaobao came out soon: "My lord, please go in."

In the warm pavilion, there is a burst of elegant fragrance.The maidservant in the main hall followed quietly, took off Haitang's cloak, and when she turned to go out, she closed the door softly behind her.

Seeing King Mu, Haitang immediately blushed.

Although he has changed his daily attire, he is still tidy. Compared with his soft satin jacket and loose hair, he really looks ambiguous.

Inside the warm pavilion, there is a large low couch with a small table in the center, a pot of tea, and two teacups.Mu Wang sat cross-legged in front of the small table, leaving Haitang with a perfect silhouette.

He was slender, from his body shape, to his neck, to his hand holding a booklet, he was as elegant as a beryl.

"My concubine, Cui Haitang, I have met His Royal Highness King Mu." Haitang saluted gracefully.

King Mu turned his head, but his expression was calm and casual, as if looking at someone he knew very well, and pointed to the seat opposite him: "Come here, sit here."

Could it be that he summoned himself here in the middle of the night to drink tea with him?
Haitang didn't quite understand it, anyway, just follow suit.He took off his shoes, got on the couch, and sat opposite King Mu.

The tea is hot, but the cup is empty.Haitang lifted the teapot and poured it gently for King Mu.

"Taste the good tea from Yunnan, too."

Haitang's heart trembled, never in his previous life had he treated him so tenderly.I have never tasted the taste of being treated tenderly.

King Mu didn't notice the warmth in his tone, he clearly knew that the woman in front of him...maybe couldn't even be called a woman.Therefore, he only regards her as Cui Guozhen's child, a knowledgeable and gentle woman in his family.

He watched her gently pour tea, and in the tea smoke, her bright facial features softened, and her loose hair fell from her shoulders to her chest.

Haitang blushed, a little flustered.Putting down the teapot, he brushed his hair back behind him in a smug manner.

"Your Highness, forgive me, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't have time to dress up, so I lost my manners."

"It's okay, I was called urgently."

"Your Highness is not resting so late..." Haitang regretted it before she finished speaking, so regretful that her intestines turned green.I don't think about my identity, I don't think about my illness, I don't think about my current situation.

When you are so ambiguous, why do you mention "rest"!
Fortunately, King Mu didn't think about other things, but said very normally: "I don't sleep much, I'm used to it."

He asked again: "I heard that you have been ill. How are you doing now? You look pretty good."

Haitang thought to herself, only you know about my illness; the illness that everyone else knows about is actually just pretending to be ill.But she couldn't answer like this, and had to say cautiously: "The doctor can't find out what's wrong, but I always feel uncomfortable, and I'm slowly recuperating."

"That's a heart disease. Maybe it's too boring in the mansion, and you don't socialize with people. It's almost spring, and the weather is good these days, so go out and walk around more."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Then, there was a moment of silence between each other, and the scene was slightly awkward.

Haitang thought, I'm called here, is it to express the prince's concern?Let's talk, talk makes people less nervous.

"actually……"

"actually……"

Just as Haitang opened her mouth, she found that King Mu spoke in unison.

It seems that he also wants to find a topic.

Haitang couldn't help laughing, and found a rare smile on Mu Wang's face.

Of course, the words still have to be left to Mu Wang.

"Actually, I called you here because I wanted someone to talk to." He was quite calm.

Hearing what he said, Haitang felt her whole body relax immediately: "What do you want to say, Your Highness?"

"I saw you in the garden the other day, and you're pretty good at talking."

Haitang was a little embarrassed: "You're talking nonsense, His Highness laughed at you."

King Mu said, "It's rare to be able to hear what's in your heart like that."

In this mansion, not many people dare to speak their minds.After entering the palace, no one dared to say anything.

Xiao Shishi dared to speak, but no one liked what she said.

"The concubine's speech is inappropriate..."

King Mu raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, I changed the place and became awkward." He thought to himself, he called you because he thought you were funny, "Is it because you are facing me?"

Even a fool could hear the displeasure in this tone.

"Yes, if I knew His Highness was there last time, I wouldn't dare to say anything."

This time it feels a little bit out of hand.King Mu smiled and said, "Then think of me as... what is the name of the person next to you?"

With a thought in her heart, Haitang deliberately said: "Bixia."

"Your Majesty?" King Mu was dumbfounded.

He looked dazed, even his handsome face was dumbfounded.Haitang tried her best to suppress her smile: "Jiyu's Bi, Xiaguang's Xia. Bixia."

"Oh. This name is tricky enough." Now it was King Mu's turn to feel a little embarrassed.

"It's not tricky when you read it literally, but it's tricky if you read it incorrectly."

"Yeah, it's because you can't read correctly."

Haitang thought to herself, isn't it just Beijing dialect, as if no one can speak it.I just deliberately couldn't read it correctly, otherwise I would be nervous and you would not be satisfied.

Since you're looking for someone to talk to and relax, don't blame me for being too relaxed.Anyway, it should be fine, I have seven years to hang up, and I can't mess with him.

After thinking about it, Haitang smiled.Since she was at home since she was a child, she has been the pistachio fruit of her parents, and the job of making them happy has always been taken by Haitang, so she can't count on her elder brother who has a bitter face and loves to study.

"Then please 'Your Highness' teach me how to pronounce 'Your Majesty' accurately."

Mu Wang seriously taught it several times, and Cui Haitang, who was determined not to learn, would read it strangely every time, which made Mu Wang very disgusted.

"I heard Mr. Cui speak well in Beijing, but it's strange to come to you. Is this the accent of Jiangnan?"

"My concubine grew up in Jiangnan, so I naturally have a Jiangnan accent."

"Oh, I didn't notice your accent was different before."

It sounds like there are many "befores".Really counting, what the two of them said before today can be counted on ten fingers.

"Father was originally a Beijing official. Ten years ago, he was sent to Jiangnan. This year, he was transferred to the Imperial Academy, and our family followed him back to the capital."

"I see."

"I can speak Beijing dialect, but I have been away for a long time, so I can't speak it fluently."

"That's how it sounds. The Jiangnan dialect is originally pleasant. I heard that Master Cui is in Jiangnan, and the official voice is very good."

Haitang's heart moved, His Royal Highness King Mu summoned him late at night, probably not only to talk, but also to have something to do with his father.

　Recently, some relatives gave Benqiu a reward. While Benqiu was excited, he also wanted to remind all relatives friendly, just click it. If there is no response, refresh and see.Seeing that you clicked several times in a row, although the money is not very much, Benqiu is also very distressed for you!
