Chapter 369: Just a woman pregnant with the prince’s heir
Tao Ren led a somewhat attractive maid into the house.
After entering the room, she didn't lower her eyebrows like other servants. Instead, her eyes rolled around. After looking at the furnishings in the room, she secretly raised her eyebrows to look at Mu Yun.
Only then did her probing eyes collide with Mu Yun's playful eyes, and she immediately lowered her gaze. Only then did she regain the humble posture that a servant should have.
"Slave Dongli, I have met Madam."
She didn't know how to call this beautiful woman in front of her. According to the royal ancestral system, she was not even on the royal ultimatum, so she couldn't bear the title of 'Crown Princess'.
She secretly observed that among the people in the villa, some people called her 'Your Highness', some called her 'Master', and some called her 'Madam'. She felt that it was most appropriate for her to call this woman 'Madam'.
Mu Yun remained calm, "What's the matter with you?"
Dongli raised her head and looked directly at Mu Yun's face, "Madam, Concubine Xian is in good condition today. The empress has sent a slave to call you over."
Mother and concubine want to see her? Mu Yun became energetic.
"Forsythia, peach kernel, change clothes."
Since the last time Concubine Xian suddenly came to see her in Muyun's yard, she has not seen Concubine Xian again. It wasn't that Mu Yun didn't want to visit her, it was mainly because he was afraid of disturbing Concubine Xian's rest and affecting her recovery.
Aunt Bai Hao also gave the same instructions.
Concubine Xian can now take the initiative to call Mu Yun over, which means that she must be recovering well.
Mu Yun felt happy.
Although Qingyun Yuan is next to Wanchun Yuan, it still has to pass through long corridors and flower paths.
Forsythia and Tao Ren protected Mu Yun, while Dong Li walked in front of them to lead the way.
During this period, Dongli looked back from time to time, seemingly guiding Muyun and the others to avoid the steps. In fact, Dongli's eyes kept wandering on Muyun's belly.
Forsythia asked rudely: "Sister Dongli, why do you keep looking at our Highness's belly?"
Dongli was obviously shocked by Forsythia's tone. She frowned immediately, this little maid was so rude.
Dongli is not a good person. When she was in Xingming Palace, Dongli was not afraid of the housekeepers in the palace.
In Dongli's eyes, Muyun and her maids were just masters and servants who came from other countries to cling to their crown prince.
Respect is only on the surface, but in the heart, it is actually contempt.
His Highness the Crown Prince is the one who will inherit the throne. In the future, there will be countless beauties around him. What does it mean to be just a princess from another country?
That woman was just His Highness the Crown Prince's plaything when he was in Dashuo. She was pregnant and couldn't abandon her, so she had no choice but to take her back to Xichang.
Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince would keep her outside, not bring her into the palace to be a saint, and record her in the royal family tree? He definitely had no intention of raising her as a royal concubine.
Humph, I really thought that I was a legitimate Crown Princess. Even if you are favored now, when His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself Emperor in the future, you will be nothing more than his past favorite concubine.
With this thought in her mind, Dongli became more contemptuous of Muyun's master and servant. She suddenly stopped in her footsteps, turned around and glared at Forsythia, "You little bastard, if you don't help your wife to walk properly, why are you staring at me? Who keeps looking at your wife's belly? It's not something worth mentioning. ," she rolled her eyes. Although her tone of voice dropped a few degrees, everyone present could hear it clearly as long as they were not deaf. "Who can't seem to be pregnant yet? Your wife's belly is precious. Look at it. You can’t even watch it? Che——"
Before Dongli finished speaking, Forsythia and Taoren were both shocked.
She, she, she, how dare you say such words to His Highness!
Both Forsythia and Tao Ren are timid. When faced with someone's provocation in person, they can only scold Dongli for being "presumptuous". No matter how vicious the words are, they can't say it out loud. If it were a chance encounter with someone who said many harsh words, I'm afraid they would be very angry now. The slap has already been slapped.
There were more than two little maids, Mu Yun was also extremely shocked.
In her two lifetimes, this was the first time someone dared to say such disrespectful words to her face.
In her last life, she was often criticized behind the scenes by the noble ladies in the capital because of her origins and because her writing was not public. She also knew it. However, because of her noble status, no one dared to say such offensive words to her face to face.
Needless to say, in this life, she worked hard to become excellent. People in the capital city initially used her background as an excuse. Later, through her hard work, she was the only one others could ridicule. It's just gossip and fun.
Mu Yun smiled suddenly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
She held Forsythia's and Tao Ren's arms that were shaking with anger, and said with a smile: "Go to the concubine first."
Seeing Mu Yun's cowardly appearance, Dongli snorted arrogantly and continued to walk forward with a twist of one step at a time.
In the main room of Wanchun Yuan, Concubine Xian was pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting for the arrival of her daughter-in-law.
She had already given orders to Nanny Li. When she saw Mu Yun coming, she could directly lead her into the house without calling her.
She wanted to see her daughter-in-law so much. Last time, she and her daughter-in-law didn't have time to talk properly. Today, she was in good spirits. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have a good chat.
She wanted to know how Chu'er and Jun'er met, and what interesting things they experienced when they were in Dashuo.
However, after her daughter-in-law was brought in by Nanny Li, the first thing Concubine Xian saw was her daughter-in-law's bright, red-rimmed eyes.
Concubine Xian immediately greeted her.
"Jun'er, what's wrong with you? How have you been wronged?"
Mu Yun raised her eyes and looked directly into Concubine Xian's eyes. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, which made Concubine Xian's heart tighten suddenly.
"What's wrong with your master?" Concubine Xian asked Forsythia and Tao Ren who were beside Mu Yun.
The two little maids looked pale, lowered their heads and wiped away tears, refusing to speak.
Mu Yun spoke, her voice full of grievance, "Mother and concubine, it's none of their business, I..." Mu Yun secretly glanced at the man standing by the door, acting like it had nothing to do with her. Dongli glanced at her, then looked away as if she was very afraid of her, holding the handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Concubine Xian has been immersed in the palace for decades. Can't she understand this?
How dare her maid bully her good daughter-in-law!
"Dongli, come here to me!"
Dongli reluctantly came to Concubine Xian.
When she was in the Xianyi Palace, Concubine Xian was not close to the maids around her because of her cold temperament. She usually lived her life in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, and she didn't pay much attention to the maids as long as they did their jobs well.
Therefore, someone like Dongli who knows Concubine Xian's temperament doesn't think there is anything scary about Concubine Xian's stern roar.
She was just a woman who was pregnant with His Highness the Prince's son, and the empress criticized her for showing off.
