Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 42

Rong Xi nodded obediently, but he was about to suffocate her without leaving the East Palace this month.

She was just about to say thank you husband, but her stomach groaned.

Rong Xi slightly put his hands on Weilong’s lower abdomen with some audacity, but she was always hungry more easily recently, and her sharp chin was slightly rounded.

However, Danxiang and the other palace ladies said that she was a bit thin before, and now she looks more beautiful and slender than before.

Rong Xi believed these words for the first time, but still didn’t want to make himself fat. Recently, he has also deliberately controlled his food intake and eats as little as possible.

Seeing her appearance, Mu Huai couldn’t help laughing, and raised his voice to call the next person to prepare food.

When he accompanied Rong Xi for lunch, the palace servants who stood by saw that the prince’s temperament was not at all the usual loneliness and gloom, and his attitude towards Rong Liangdi was very gentle.

The way the two get along is like an ordinary couple.

If there is really a princess, it will be difficult to shake the position of Rong Liangdi in the heart of the prince.

If there is a dispute between wives and concubines in the East Palace in the future, they need to be placed in line, they still want to bet on Rong Xi.

After eating at noon, Rong Xi took a nap in accordance with the instructions of the imperial physician.

After waking up, he went to the study to polish the ink for Mu Huai.

Today, in the dark, Mu Huai sent someone to drop the account book of the funeral of Empress Yizhen in the Ministry of Ritual. He felt that the woman was standing by the bookcase, and she rubbed the ink for him with the red sleeves.

Although he didn’t raise his eyes, he whispered: “These things will be done by the subordinates in the future. Since you are a good woman, you don’t need to do these things yourself.”

Rong Xi whispered back to him: “The husband is used to being served by the concubine, and the concubine also likes to do this for the husband. Don’t worry, the concubine will leave after finishing the ink for you. It will not hinder your eyes.”

Reluctantly, Mu Huai lifted his eyes to look at her, then looked at the account book again.

The documents recorded above are very detailed, including the stone wing beast to be carved in the tomb of the queen, the wood used for the coffin, and all the precious funeral objects of the queen.

Most of these burial objects are extremely precious, because the first queen was the most favored during his lifetime, and almost all the gifts bestowed by Cheng Emperor were buried under the ground.

Mu Huai looked at the dazzling list of burial items, and couldn’t help muttering to himself: “Why did termites eat the coffin of the queen first?”

Rong Xi was about to leave the study, when he heard Mu Huai’s words, he stopped.

She was a little surprised, turned and walked to Mu Huai’s side, and asked in a low voice: “Husband…Is the concubine’s father’s case investigating?”

Mu Huai nodded, but his eyebrows became heavier. He put the account book on the case, and his voice became a little cold, saying: “This matter is really strange. Recently, Gu also sent someone to ask your father’s former colleagues and know your father. It’s definitely not such an imprudent person.”

Rong Xi’s heart warmed.

How could she not realize that Rong Bing’s dereliction of duty back then was too strange, but she was just a girl under ten years old, her hometown was in Hongdu, and she had no relatives in Bianjing, so she couldn’t do anything about it.

She looked down, and said to Mu Huai: “My father not only supervised the construction of the tomb of Empress Yizhen, but also supervised the construction of the tombs of the other concubines of the first emperor. The land of the tomb was wet and it was easy to be eaten by termites. But the concubine remembered, Fathers usually order people to apply a layer of special paint on the coffin in advance, and also arrange a poisonous band with mercury in the soil where the coffin is buried. These methods can prevent termites.”

The coffin of Empress Xian was different from civilians. It was inlaid with various treasures. The reason for his father’s exile was also because the coffin was gnawed away by termites and almost injured the body of Empress Xian.

Mu Huai was surprised that Rong Xi knew how to prevent termites.

He couldn’t help asking: “You were a young girl at the time, and you were a girl. After the queen’s coffin was destroyed, your father was exiled. Before that, he was talking about official affairs with a girl of you?”

Rong Xi nodded and replied: “Daddy doesn’t hold these concubines. The concubine passed away early. Dad only accepted a concubine’s room and did not renew the string. The aunt’s temperament could not stand, and the grandmother was old and concubine. He has been in charge of family affairs since he was a child. Therefore, his father did not just let his concubine be a female worker because he was a girl. He sometimes drank alone, and often talked with his concubine about his trivial matters about serving as Taichang Temple.”

The corners of Mu Huai’s lips twitched slightly, still unbelievable, and then asked: “You little girl, just start to take care of the mansion?”

Seeing that Mu Huai didn’t believe him, Rong Xi didn’t want to explain more, so he nodded heavily in response.

Mu Huai smiled deeper. At the beginning of his fate with this woman, Shunfu had taken a fancy to her ability and dropped her from the recording place to his side.

After all, because of her soft temper, she somewhat underestimated her.

Outside the threshold window, the curtain rain is sparse.

Mu Huai looked at the rain scene outside the window, feeling that the rainy season in Bianjing was still not over.

I remembered what Rong Xishi said to him.

He wanted to open the coffin and move the mausoleum to see if there were any defects in the burial objects of Empress Yizhen.

It is disrespectful to move the tomb of the ancestors.

Watching the endless spring rain, Mu Huai had an idea in his mind.

******

After nightfall, Mu Huai rarely spent too much time in the study.

Instead, he decided to accompany the sticky spirit to sleep, so he extinguished the candle early after bathing and prepared to go to bed earlier tonight.

But who knew that as soon as he was about to hold the woman in his arms, Rong Xi actually dodged, trying to avoid his touch.

Mu Huaiwei was a little unhappy, frowning and asked: “What’s the matter, don’t you want to hug you alone to close your eyes?”

Rong Xi turned the back of his head to the man, and said in a quiet voice: “…I don’t want my husband to sleep tonight… I want to sleep alone…”

Mu Huai wouldn’t let her request, he stretched out his long arms and held the tender and soft woman who had shrunk into his arms in a rather strong motion.

The woman wanted to struggle, but she cared about the child in her belly, twisted her body, and finally did not dare to act rashly.

Mu Huai bit her soft earlobe lightly as if venting anger, and asked in a deep voice: “Tonggu, what kind of careful thinking came out of it, eh?”

After Rong Xi’s earlobe was bitten, she felt more strange on her body, and she shrank her neck slightly.

The cheeks were also burned by fire, and the vines were flushed.

Seeing her not answering, Mu Huai bit her earlobe again.

Rong Xi finally couldn’t stand it. He slightly pushed the man’s body with his hand, and replied confidently: “If the husband is holding his concubine, and the concubine is pregnant, his physique is different from before. I also want to…”

She was so ashamed that she couldn’t say it.

Rong Xi still fell silent before speaking.

Mu Huai didn’t understand what she meant by what she said, but felt that there were so many twists and turns in the woman’s heart, and he said clearly that the words were different.

Rong Xi continued at this time: “So your husband is clear… Let go of your concubine and sleep alone…”

Seeing the woman about to get out of his arms, Mu Huai wrapped her strong arm around her. After thinking for a moment, she finally understood what she meant.

In the past few months, he has not been able to satisfy himself.

This is the same.

He hasn’t fed her well for a long time.
