Mu Zichuan raised the corners of his lips and said, "We're close. Qing'er will guess again."

Close?

Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide and continued to spin her brain, and then used women's natural sensitivity in this regard to think and ponder to the extreme.

"Since she is not Fang, and she is close to her, could it be that the dowry maid brought by Fang or something caught Qi Xingyun's eye?" she asked.

Muzichuan nodded slightly, "Yes, that's exactly it."

Luo Fengtang's eyes were immediately filled with smiles, "My Qing'er is so smart, she can guess all this, that's amazing!"

These self-destructive words came out of Luo Fengtang's mouth habitually.

He doesn't pay attention to who Qi Xingyun loves the most, he only pays attention to the fact that his wife guessed it correctly, hehe.

"What? Did I really guess it right? What Qi Xingyun loves most is not his queen and his two concubines, but the maids next to his concubines. What kind of taste is this?" Yang Ruoqing also asked in surprise.

Mu Zichuan nodded, "Well, she is a maid who works as a dowry for Madam Fang. I heard her name is Mi'er."

Yang Ruoqing was most interested in this kind of tidbits. Her eyes were shining as she sat here waiting for Mu Zichuan's next story.

Mu Zichuan naturally knew Yang Ruoqing's character, so he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued without waiting for her to ask further questions.

"I also heard a rumor among the people. I don't know whether it is true or not. There are only three of us here and there are no outsiders. I told you to just treat it as gossip."

"Yeah, yeah, keeping warm by the fire this winter isn't just gossip. Just tell me quickly and I'll help you refill your tea."

Like a little maid, Yang Ruoqing went to refill Mu Zichuan's tea.

The two grown men Mu Zichuan and Luo Fengtang looked at each other.

"It is said that when the Crown Prince got married in the East Palace, he spent the first night in the study and did not consummate the marriage with the Crown Princess."

"On the second and third night, even though I went to the princess's courtyard, the marriage didn't seem to be consummated," he said.

"What?"

Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide in surprise and glanced at Luo Fengtang. This time, Luo Fengtang also showed a hint of surprise.

"What about the fourth night? Where have you been?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.

Mu Zichuan said: "On the fourth night, I went to Fang's courtyard, and Mi'er was in charge."

"Uh..." Yang Ruoqing was a little confused.

"Even though Zhao Wanru is not a beauty, she is the wife Qi Xingyun is marrying. It is not someone else who forced him to marry. He pressed the cow's head by force. Cows don't drink water. But this wife who he married voluntarily did not consummate the marriage.

This is a bit unreasonable!”

"Also, even if you, Qi Xingyun, like beauties, and Su Ziyue agrees with the standards, you won't let the dowry maid next to the concubine serve you for the first time. This is really against common sense.

ah,"

"Where does this put the faces of three women? Moreover, it undoubtedly puts the dowry maid named Mi'er at the forefront of the limelight!" Yang Ruoqing said very puzzled.

Mu Zichuan nodded slightly, "In this regard, the new emperor really does not follow common sense."

"After ascending the throne, the new emperor named Zhao as the queen, Su and Fang as the virtuous concubines respectively, and Mi'er as a noble and given a palace."

"After the new emperor came to court, he only went to Queen Zhao's Fengzao Palace for a short while, and stayed at Mi Guiren's palace from time to time."

"The virtuous concubines and concubines are in name only, and the honey nobles only pamper the harem."

"It is said that the imperial censor came to remonstrate later. Several important ministers in the court and the elders of the court tried hard to persuade them, saying that the royal family had few heirs, and the new emperor had to be exposed to both rain and dew before he could continue his heirs. The new emperor Xu weighed it up before going.

The queen’s place…”

"Occasionally I go to the Second Concubine Xian Shu to sit there. Whether she is favored or not is unknown, but that noble lady is now in the limelight and the number one person in the harem."

"Her father and brother both received rewards and got rid of slavery from the Fang family, and now they have started their own business."

"When I was in the capital, what I heard the most was the talk about this aspect. It was said that if the noble lady can take advantage of this opportunity to conceive a dragon heir, she would be granted the title of concubine just around the corner!"

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing felt like she had relived a palace drama.

"Empress Zhao is the legitimate daughter of the British Duke, a well-established noblewoman. The concubine Su Ziyue is the most beautiful woman in the harem. She is a wonderful woman with both talent and beauty. The virtuous concubine Fang, who came from a well-known family, must also be aloof among flowers.

The character of Xiangmei after Snow."

"In addition, there are countless young and beautiful maids in the harem. This noble lady can actually stand out among so many women with powerful backgrounds and catch Qi Xingyun's eyes. She must have some unique abilities, right?

"Yang Ruoqing analyzed.

Luo Fengtang said: "You are not capable, in a word, this is fate!"

"Two people are destined to meet each other. Once they meet, they cannot see other women. That must be the case!"

He patted his chest and said passionately, looking at her with burning eyes.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly. She knew that he was using her as an example!

What an idiot. I didn’t see that there was a third person here. How can an old couple show affection?

On this side, Mu Zichuan listened to Luo Fengtang's words. Although he did not express his position clearly, he also agreed with it in his heart.

There is indeed a need for fate between men and women.

It doesn't mean you will like someone no matter how beautiful they are, it's the feeling that matters.

Just like me, when I have been working as an official outside these years, I don’t know how many beauties I have met, including fat, thin, tall, plump, small and exquisite.

Either gentle or quiet or clever or fierce...

Either enchanting or charming or elegant...

But I just can't remember what I feel. Sometimes I meet someone who seems to be a good match. I think it's better to just marry someone and start a family, so that I can feel at ease.

However, every time when I want to make a decision, there will be another voice in my heart that resists...

In this way, it has been wasted until now.

He knows where his problems are and what medicine can cure his heart ailments.

He glanced at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, who were sitting opposite him. There was a tacit understanding and warmth between their eyes and brows.

This made Muzichuan a little irritated again.

He stood up and said to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang: "Okay, it's getting late. My mother is still waiting for me at home, so I'll go back first and come back another day to catch up."

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang also stood up. Yang Ruoqing said: "It's dark outside, let's see you off."

Mu Zichuan said: "No, I am an adult and I am familiar with the roads in the village even if I have not walked for ten years."

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's better to give it away, there is a lot of darkness outside."

Luo Fengtang said: "It's windy outside, Qing'er, please don't go out. I'll just see Zichuan off."

Then, without any explanation, he picked up a wind lantern and escorted Muzichuan out of the yard.

Yang Ruoqing walked to the door of the main room with a smile, gave them a few words, and watched them walk away. Then she turned back to the table and put away the tea bowls and snack plates on the table, and stirred the charcoal fire in the charcoal brazier a few times.
