At noon the next day, the prince and the princess returned to the palace together. The princess felt slightly unwell, and the prince supported her tenderly, as if he was holding a piece of jewelry. Everyone else was blushing, and the servants rushed to tell each other.

The lotus lanterns in the small lake have not been picked up yet. Jing Nan and others took the servants to pick up the lotus lanterns. The prince and princess passed by, and everyone knelt down to say hello. The princess looked at the lotus lanterns in the pond and couldn't help but wonder, "Where did they come from?"

So many lotus lanterns?”

Jing Nan said, "Yesterday was the birthday of the Crown Princess. To celebrate, the Crown Prince ordered people to set up a pool of lotus lanterns. It was said to be a grand occasion for the Crown Princess to have lotuses in full bloom for the last time."

The prince smiled brightly and said, "Mu Bai is really thoughtful."

The princess secretly thought that Mu Bai really meant it. This pond full of lotus lanterns, lit with candles at night and placed in the small lake, must be very beautiful. She should come back one day early to enjoy this beautiful scenery.

The two returned to Dongyuan, and Ju Qing ordered someone to inform Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui. The two were having a meal. When they heard the news, they hurried over to say hello. The princess had been raised in Ruyuan Temple for almost three months, and her face was much rosier, and her eyebrows had faded.

The usual cold and serious attitude was now filled with tenderness. The prince was caring carefully at the side, Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui looked at each other, and it turned out that things were exactly as they expected.

The prince hurriedly left after returning to the house. Yun Buhui said that he must have gone to Ruyuan Temple. If they came back together this time, the rift between them would be eliminated and the knot in their hearts would be untied. After all, the princess loved the prince, as long as

If he pays a little attention, the princess will definitely feel it and forgive him.

Love is most afraid of death. As long as the heart does not die, there is always hope.

When Yuzhi and Yuwu heard the news, they also ran over. Yuzhi loves to act coquettishly and hugs the princess all the time. She is a coquettish daughter and is naturally happy to be a mother. Yuzhi is not very close to the prince, and Yuwu is even more formal. The prince

Don’t force it, as time goes by, the rift between father and daughter can slowly be eliminated.

They came back from Ruyuan Temple early in the morning and had not yet had lunch. Yun Buhui asked someone to go to the kitchen to take a message and prepare a sumptuous lunch for delivery. In less than half an hour, seven or eight dishes were delivered from the kitchen.

Cheng Mubai, Yun Buhui, Yu Zhi, and Yu Wu all sat down to eat with the princess. The princess was in a good mood, had a good appetite, and enjoyed the food. The prince and the princess served each other's dishes, with affection and smiles on their eyes.

, as if a man and a woman are passionately in love, their love is extremely intense.

Yuzhi's eyes turned between the two of them, slightly confused. In her impression, her parents had a very bad relationship. They rarely had such interactions. At first glance, they looked very strange, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

A sense of harmony.

Yu Wu smiled sweetly as she ate. Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui looked as usual. The family ate while eating and sleeping. It was rare to see them. They naturally wanted to talk about home affairs. Yu Zhi asked the princess why she stayed there for so long.

At that time, the princess said that it was rare to have peace and quiet, so she stayed in Ruyuan Temple for more than a month. She didn't say much else. Yuzhi wanted to ask the prince why he came back with his mother, but seeing Yun Buhui's eyes, she swallowed

The words were spoken.

When Yun Buhui talked about Du Juan in Xiyuan, the princess was slightly surprised, and the prince frowned. Yun Buhui revealed in his words that Concubine Yun had abused Du Juan after Du Juan had a miscarriage, and seemed to innocently hint at Du Juan.

There was something fishy about his death, and she skillfully brought up the suspicion at the dinner table. She was sure that the prince and the princess were now very close to each other, and it seemed that their relationship was over. He had not been with his old friend for such a long time.

People, Concubine Yun was his favorite woman, so she would inevitably feel guilty. She said this, implying that Concubine Yun was vicious and ruthless, so as to dispel the guilt in the prince's heart.

The princess is a smart person and naturally understands Yun Buhui's meaning and will not help. Yuzhi is ignorant and admires her sister-in-law the most. She should agree to whatever Yun Buhui says and make the matter more serious.

The prince's brows were furrowed, Cheng Mubai smiled and said nothing. Yun Buhui had such a small thought. How could he not know that he would not stop it? The women in the courtyard would always have various tactful thoughts, not for themselves.

for others.

"This matter is suspicious but not thoroughly investigated?" The prince asked, and Yun Buhui said, "After Du Juan died, there was no evidence that he was dead. I asked the doctor, and he said that Du Juan was ill and was indeed prone to miscarriage.

No evidence was produced, and Du Juan was hastily buried after his death. Even if I tried to investigate, it would be of no use, and the matter would be left unsolved. Aunt Yun said, anyway, a slave died, and if he died, he was dead.

It’s innocuous.”

The prince's eyebrows were furrowed and he remained silent, with a look of displeasure on his face. The princess persuaded him from the side, "Your Majesty, the vegetarian food on the mountain is not to your liking. You have eaten less recently. You like the cooks in the house the most. Eat more."

.The cuckoo incident is over anyway, let’s not think about it for now.”

The prince smiled softly at her, and Yun Buhui also lowered his head to eat. Cheng Mubai glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. His gaze was doting on her. Even though she was so presumptuous, Yun Buhui smiled knowingly.

Just after lunch, Concubine Yun Fang came through Dongyuan. The prince sent Su Lin to send a message, ordering Concubine Yun to go to the pavilion of the main residence, and asked Concubine Yu, Concubine Li, Yu Rong and Yu Mei to go there together.

The family drinks tea and chats.

He originally wanted the princess to go with him, but the princess had a headache and didn't want to go out. The prince didn't force him and took Su Lin back to his main residence.

The princess watched him leave and sighed slightly, "It's better to live in the mountains without anyone disturbing me. I can also lie to myself that he is the only one."

Yuzhi said, "Mother, why did my father come back with you?"

The princess was in a heavy heart, but when Yu Zhi mentioned this, a slight blush appeared on her face, but she didn't seem to want to talk more, so she didn't tell Yu Zhi. Yun Buhui guessed that the prince must have been careful this time, otherwise how could he recover?

princess.

It is not easy for a woman to change her mind when she is determined.

The princess asked Cheng Mubai and others to go back first. She left Yun Buhui to talk. Cheng Mubai, Yu Zhi, and Yu Wu got up and went back to their courtyard. The princess asked carefully about the recent events in the palace. Yun Buhui explained everything in detail, especially the Du Juan incident.

, she also honestly told the princess about the doubts she discovered, but she just concealed the fact that they met bandits on the mountain and almost died. Yun Buhui thought to himself that Cheng Mubai didn't want to alert the snake about this matter, so few people knew about it, so she kept it from the princess.

It's never too late.

"You handled this matter very well." The princess said, "Their own family is fighting in their yard, which saves others' worries. This child is unpopular anyway, and it would be better if he is gone. It's pitiful for Du Juan, who is so young.

It's easy to go, is it true what you just said? I have been with Concubine Yun for so many years, and she has never been such a vicious person."

"Mother, you will never wrong anyone if you don't regret it. Du Juan's body was covered in bruises and bruises. After she gave birth, I sent her a lot of supplements to nurse her back to health. All the slaves in Xiyuan can testify that she was not well cared for.

On the second day after a miscarriage, she had to do heavy work like fetching water. A woman’s body is so delicate after a small childbirth. Who would dare to order such a heavy work except the master of the house. Du Juan is originally a person in the eldest young master’s room. This kind of work

If she never does it, it is obviously because someone is deliberately making things difficult, and when she beats Du Juan, all the servants in the house see it, so she cannot be ignored." Yun Buhui said, maybe she made the situation a little more serious, but she definitely did not accuse the person unjustly.

.

The princess sighed, "I never thought she could be so cruel."

"She was jealous that Du Juan was careless and gave birth to the child. Little did she know that no matter how careful Du Juan was, the child could not be saved." Yun Buhui said, and the princess was frightened. She said, "I have been married to the prince for so many years, and I have looked at other women.

Pregnancies came one after another, and there was jealousy in my heart. Sometimes I cried secretly at night, and sometimes I thought fervently, how wonderful it would be for them to have no children, how wonderful it would be for them to disappear inexplicably, but no matter how much I thought about it, I never did anything to hurt the prince's heirs."

Yun Buhui said with some consideration, "Concubine Keyu, Concubine Li and Concubine Yun all had miscarriages many times..."

"How did you know?" the princess asked with raised eyebrows, Yun Buhui pursed her lips and smiled, "Forgive me, mother, I sent someone to check the chronology of the palace, so I know a little about the situation in the palace."

The princess nodded, "Concubine Yun once lost three children in a row, Concubine Li also lost two children, Concubine Yu also lost a child, and Concubine Yu also lost a child. This is the miscarriage of the fetus in the house.

There are so many. I want to investigate, but every time it seems to be an accident. If I can't find any evidence, I can only treat it as an accident. By the way, the child that Yu Concubine died in infancy was a baby boy, two years younger than Mu Dong.

Years old, the child was suffocated to death. At that time, a maid said that she saw Concubine Yu passing by in the afternoon, and Concubine Yu wanted to fight against Concubine Yun. Later, when the prince checked, it turned out that it was this maid who had been punished by Concubine Yun, so

I feel resentful for falsely accusing Concubine Yun."

"This maid must be dead." Yun Buhui said firmly.

The princess was very surprised, "You also found out about this? That's an unknown person."

"I guessed it." Yun Buhui said lightly. The princess was startled and smiled, "You are indeed smart as ice and snow. It is true that you died and committed suicide by throwing yourself into the lake. She threw herself into the lake in Xiyuan, and the lake was filled in.

It was converted into a small garden."

The princess rubbed her brows tiredly, "It's really boring to talk about these old things."

"Mother, is Yu Wu..." Yun Buhui made a bold hypothesis. The princess frowned and nodded, "Yu Wu's voice is very nice. I can hear her voice in my dreams now. She is so delicate and soft.

, very painful. I will never forget that plate of chestnut cake, which took away Yu Wu’s voice. Maybe you don’t know, even if the chestnut cake was for Mu Bai, it was Yu Wu who was greedy, so something happened

, but to the outside world, I said that Yuwu was seriously ill and lost her voice. At that time, the prince was already prejudiced against me. Yuwu was often ill. If we started to make a fuss, the prince would definitely think that I was using my child to invite favors and make a big fuss. If he treated me

No matter how disgusted I am, my children's family is even more difficult to live in. So I don't want to alert others, I want to find out who did it, but after so many years, it has become a problem for me."

"Mother, you are amazing. You can raise Mubai, Yuzhi and Yuwu so well in such an environment." Yun Buhui said sincerely, without any flattery at all, and only a mother with a tolerant nature.

, was able to persist for so many years and raise three outstanding children, although Cheng Mubai and Yu Wu were both plagued by diseases.

"Mubai knows about this, so I have been particularly careful about his diet from that day on. All the slaves in Haoyueju have been replaced. Jingnan, Lingxi and Lingxin are all people he has selected to serve him." Princess.

explain.

Cheng Mubai once mentioned this matter. The seemingly peaceful palace was really turbulent behind the scenes. The prince was completely kept in the dark about these things, which is really sad to say.

"Okay, let's not talk about these old things and talk about sadness." The princess said, suddenly changing the subject, "It's been almost half a year since you and Mu Bai got married, why haven't you heard anything yet?"

"What's going on?" Yun Buhui was confused.

The princess didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If there is any movement, it is naturally the child."

Yun Buhui opened his mouth, and a red flower exploded on his face. He lowered his head in embarrassment, and the princess said, "You and Mu Bai should also work together. If you have a child earlier, I can rest assured. We can't all be

Xiyuan took the lead."

"Mom, this matter also depends on God's will. It's not something I can just do if I want it to happen."

"One-third of God's will, seven-cent of man-made." The princess said, Fu'er said something in her ear, Yun Buhui's face became even more rosy, almost bleeding, the princess looked very happy, this daughter-in-law is becoming more and more beautiful to her.

The more she likes her, the more she no longer worries about Lou Xiuyu, she feels that Yun Buhui is very satisfied with being his wife.

"Is this the case?"

"Mom is someone who has been through this before and knows better than you." The princess said with a firm tone, "Tomorrow you will see a doctor to take a look at your health, and then you will take medicine. Within a few months, good news will come out."

Seeing that the princess was looking forward to a child so much, Yun Buhui felt a little uneasy in his heart. He did not dare to tell the princess that he would not be able to get pregnant easily. If it was not easy for him to become pregnant, would the princess let Cheng Mubai take a concubine?

"What are you thinking about?"

"I heard that most daughters follow their mothers when they give birth. My mother went through all kinds of hardships to get pregnant with me. Would my mother be very disappointed if I didn't get pregnant easily?" Yun Buhui asked tentatively.

The princess also remembered that it took many years for Lou Xiuyu to become Yunbuhui. Lou Xiuyu got married earlier than her, Mubai was conceived two years after their marriage, and Buhui was five years younger than Mubai. It was true.

Conceived through a lot of hard work.
