C308 Preparation Stage
"Mistress, King Chu is still the same as you." The guard had a calm smile on his face as he followed behind Yu Longtang in large strides.
"Of course. How can our friendship be compared to others? " Yu Longtang was naturally happy. He even thought that Yu Longchen would be awkward for a long time. When he thought about how he had a good time drinking and chatting with Yu Longchen just now, he felt satisfied. He had obtained the position of Crown Prince. And a brother like Yu Longchen, it was truly a great thing in his life.
On the way back to the Imperial Palace, Consort Long didn't come to the Eastern Palace to lecture Yu Longtang. This made him a little surprised. He couldn't wait to talk about him for three to four hours.
It was good that he didn't come.
Although the Imperial Capital looked calm and peaceful, it was actually turbulent.
Yun Xi still did not know about her pregnancy and did not think in that direction.
The most important thing right now was to get rid of Mu Ruqing's child.
After preparing for so long, it was time to take action.
"Huatine, wait a moment. Go and invite an actor over. Tell them that the Royal Highness is bored staying in the residence. Please come in and relieve the boredom for the Royal Highness." Yun Xi was drawing her eyebrows and looking at her own red lips in the mirror. She pursed her lips with a satisfied expression.
"Yes." Huatine answered.
Yun Xi carried the kitten and put it on her lap. "Little cutie, it will be up to you this afternoon."
The cat raised its head and closed its eyes.
After lunch, Mu Ruqing received Yun Xi's invitation.
"Princess, a weasel paying his respects to the chicken. There must be something bad going on." Lingyue was very disdainful and extremely vigilant.
"After these few days, the lovey-dovey mark on her neck disappeared. So she came out to be a demon again." Mu Ruqing rarely dressed up. Since she said that she wanted to watch a show, there would be outsiders. Naturally, she had to dress up meticulously. Otherwise, the world would only know that there was a beautiful Lateral Consort Yun in King Chu's Mansion. "She did not make any moves, did she?"
"Yes, she still doesn't know. Very good. I'll tell her personally later." Mu Ruqing lifted her skirt and walked in front of Lingyue once. She brought the little girl's lovable and lovable figure and asked, "How is it?"
"The Princess is beautiful. No matter what she wears, it is the clothes that match the person. She is not like me. It is the clothes that match the person. When the clothes look good, I will lose my color." Lingyue tugged at her fingers with some envy. Then, she smiled mischievously.
"Yun Xi should go too. She is the host, so there is nothing for me to do. Let's sit again." As Mu Ruqing spoke, she crossed her legs and started to eat the pastries.
"Go earlier. We let her have it easy." Lingyue and Mu Ruqing no longer had the airs of a master and servant. They also copied Mu Ruqing and crossed their legs. They tried twice but it did not seem like it at all.
Mu Ruqing smiled at her and personally taught her. She remembered something and said, "Go and get cotton and white cloth."
"Why?" Lingyue held the pastry and went to get it.
"Protect my baby. She could not possibly invite someone to sing for free. She still did not know what she was going to sing. Anyway, she's most likely here for my little baby, so she can take care of me at the same time. So no matter what, I have to protect my little baby. Try to get more." Mu Ruqing pulled on her clothes to see if it was loose enough. " Her stomach was also slowly getting bigger..."
"Come." Lingyue came back with a smile and placed her hand on Mu Ruqing's protruding abdomen, "You have to be more obedient."
When she was ready, Mu Ruqing touched her waist which had grown a full circle. There was no longer the original small waist. A pregnant woman was really different.
"Let's go." Mu Ruqing's right hand supported her waist and the other hand let Lingyue support it. She wanted to experience it first. After a few months, her stomach would be so big that she could not walk.
Lingyue held back her laughter and could not hold it in anymore. She then said, "It is better for the Princess not to leave like this. When the month is bigger, the Princess will know the feeling."
"Isn't this training?" Mu Ruqing rolled her eyes at Lingyue and laughed.
When they reached the stage, they were ready. Yu Longchen had arrived long ago and the troupe was ready. They were just waiting for Mu Ruqing.
Mu Ruqing returned to normal. She walked by herself. There was a loose shirt covering her abdomen. She did not notice anything unusual and went forward to apologize and bow. I pay my respects to Your Highness because I was waiting to drink the placenta pill. I believe that Your Highness and your younger sister will not blame me for being late. "
"What are you talking about, big sister?" Yun Xi went forward to help Mu Ruqing up, "Elder sister's health is not good and should not stand for too long. Sit down first."
"Without the permission of the Royal Highness, how would I dare?" Mu Ruqing did not get up, but turned her head to look at Yu Longchen.
Yu Longchen did not get up nor did he get up. After hesitating for a while, he still got up to support Mu Ruqing from the front. "Of course I will not blame you. As Xi'er said, you are not in good health and are pregnant. Quickly sit down."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Only then did Mu Ruqing get up and let Yun Xi help her sit down.
Throughout the entire process, Mu Ruqing did not give Yun Xi a look and only ignored her. Yun Xi was angry in her heart but her expression was aggrieved. She looked at Yu Longchen and Yu Longchen replied with a comforting smile.
Only then did she feel a little more at ease. She handed a script of a play to Mu Ruqing and said, "Elder sister, do you want a play?"
Mu Ruqing propped her head on the coffee table with one hand and shook her other hand to reject her. "You guys can order it. I will listen to it."
Mu Ruqing was really not interested in this play and could not understand what it meant. Right now, the song of that world was circling in her mind.
Yun Xi put down the book and gave Huatine a look. When Huatine spoke, the troupe started to move.
The gong and drums were beating and gurgling. In Mu Ruqing's ears, the performance was just like that and not long after, she felt a little sleepy.
Yu Longchen and Yun Xi listened with great interest.
After two songs, Mu Ruqing became drowsy and almost could not raise her eyelids. Fortunately, Lingyue was beside her and moved her from time to time.
Changxu was in the back, but he listened to Mu Ruqing's side. This was Yu Longchen's order to protect Mu Ruqing.
"Is elder sister tired?" Yun Xi saw that Mu Ruqing and her head was about to fall on the table. Her expression was a little gloomy, but she smiled.
Mu Ruqing did not hide it and yawned. She sat up straight and said, "In the past, I heard that pregnant people are easily sleepy. It turns out that I only treated it as a joke. Now I believe it."
Mu Ruqing looked at Yun Xi and there were tears squeezed out from her yawning eyes, making her appear delicate and pitiful.
"Why don't elder sister go back and rest first?" Yun Xi was only a suggestion. Of course she did not want Mu Ruqing to go back and rest.
"No, if I leave, it will not disturb your mood. Now I am in high spirits... Ah... " Mu Ruqing yawned again as she spoke and covered her mouth. After resting, she stared fixedly at the person singing on the stage, as if to prove that she was not tired anymore.
Yun Xi smiled and did not say anything. She focused on watching the show.
When she heard this, she realized that servant girl had come to serve new pastries and brought tea that had just been brewed.
Following that, the cute cat walked up with a single word step, twisting its round butt and shaking its eyebrows.
After being hugged by Yun Xi for a while, "Meow Meow." It jumped down and went to Yu Longchen's place.
After rubbing his feet a few times, Yu Longchen ignored it and thought that it was boring, so he went to where Mu Ruqing was.
Mu Ruqing was bored to begin with. She did not think much and hugged the cat in her arms, teasing it.
It was originally very boring, but now that there was a cat, it could pass the time.
