Chapter 550: You can come to the East Palace often in the future
Xing Xing knew the identity of this woman, so she bowed according to the proper etiquette: "Meet the Crown Princess."
Crown Princess Mu Rujun stood up and walked forward with a smile, personally helped Xingxing up, and said with admiration: "My lady is so beautiful."
Xing Xing said sincerely: "The Crown Princess is the same, she has a kind of beauty that is different from others."
Mu Rujun couldn't help but laugh even more happily: "I don't know why, but I'm very happy to be praised by Xiangjun. Maybe it's because Xiangjun is so cute and beautiful."
Xing Xing smiled shyly, thinking that what Nie Yu Ke said was totally wrong.
Mu Rujun chatted with Xingxing for a few words, then said with a smile: "Do you know why we invited you to the East Palace this time?"
Xingxing shook her head honestly.
Mu Rujun smiled helplessly, but she didn't hide it from Xingxing, and said frankly: "It was the Queen Mother. She thought that Xiangjun was blessed with good fortune and good medical skills. He saved the family of Prince Jiping and the old lady of Duke Xin. I haven't been pregnant for a long time, and the Queen Mother wanted Xiangjun to come and help me."
Mu Rujun laughed again when she said this, "My mother is kind-hearted and loves me, and she doesn't want me to be too stressed. But pregnancy is also a matter of fate." Mu Rujun winked at Xingxing, "I'm here today just to go through the motions. Whether I can have a child or not is my fate, so don't put too much pressure on me, my lord."
Mu Rujun has a frank attitude and is very open-minded.
Of course, it is also because Xingxing is very important to their second brother. Otherwise, if it were someone else, Mu Rujun would not say these things.
Xing Xing thought for a moment and said to Mu Rujun, "Then please ask the Crown Princess to lend me your hand. I will take her pulse."
Mu Rujun stretched out her hand as she was told.
Just by stretching out his hand, he revealed several wounds on his forearm. Xing Xing took another look and Mu Rujun said, "Did you scare the county lord? It doesn't look good."
Xing Xing shook her head: "These look like knife and arrow wounds. Has the Crown Princess ever been on the battlefield?"
Mu Rujun smiled and said, "Yes, when I was young, I disguised myself as a man and spent two years on the battlefield. Xiangjun's guess is correct."
Xing Xing said in admiration: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is amazing! My elder brother also has many scars like this on his body. He said they were the marks of his fighting on the battlefield."
When Yu Yonghuai was mentioned, Mu Rujun showed some respect: "General Yu is brave and good at fighting, and he is also a master at using troops. I really want to meet him if I have the chance."
Xingxing took Mu Rujun's pulse.
Mu Rujun couldn't help but ask: "How?"
Although she had persuaded herself to let it go and thought that maybe she was destined to have no children, she was in such a position that the prince was almost fighting against the whole government and the public for her.
Just as the prince cherished her and did not want to let her down, she naturally wanted to give birth to a son or a daughter for the prince out of this cherishment.
Xing Xing withdrew her hand: "Your Highness did suffer some injuries in her early years, which damaged her foundation, but she has taken good care of herself in recent years and is no longer in danger."
Mu Rujun understood, and touched her belly with a look of disappointment: "Yes, the imperial physician also said that there is nothing wrong with my body. But I just can't have a baby, and I don't know why."
Xing Xing thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "...What about the Crown Prince's body..."
If it were someone else, no one would dare to question whether there was a problem with the prince.
But Xingxing is a doctor, and naturally she wants to get to the bottom of it according to her heart.
Mu Rujun was also encountering this for the first time. He smiled to himself for a while, then coughed, moved closer to Xingxing, and whispered with a smile: "The imperial physician actually examined the prince thoroughly under the pretext of checking his pulse. There is nothing wrong with the prince's body."
What's more, they actually had a child two years ago.
But they didn't know about the arrival of this child at that time. Mu Rujun accompanied Wei Shiqing day and night to deal with the problem of hundreds of thousands of people being displaced by the Dian River flood. By the time they found out, the child was already dying and there was no way to save him.
Xing Xing recalled a case that Grandma Da Xi had told her about before, and said to Mu Rujun, "If both parties are healthy, it may be a matter of fate. My grandmother Da Xi encountered this before. The couple had been married for ten years and had no health problems, but they had not conceived a child. Grandma Da Xi told them that children depend on fate. Then, in the thirteenth year, the woman became pregnant with twins. In the next five years, she became pregnant and gave birth to twins one after another. Two of the pregnancies were twins. This family suddenly had six children."
Mu Rujun couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen again.
More than ten years.
I wonder how many years Your Highness can hold on under this high pressure.
"Forget it." Mu Rujun murmured, "As Xiangjun said, this is also fate. It can't be forced."
Xing Xing couldn't help but hug Mu Rujun and said sincerely: "Crown Princess, you are a good person and you will definitely be satisfied."
Mu Rujun was startled at first by the little girl's sudden hug. The little girl was sweet and soft, like a small ball in his arms, yet so warm.
Mu Rujun couldn't help but hug him back gently.
She was afraid that she would use too much force and hurt the girl.
Xing Xing thought the Crown Princess smelled good. It was not like ordinary incense, but a mixture of pine and cypress, with a slightly chilly aroma. She sniffed and said, "Crown Princess, you smell good."
Mu Rujun smiled happily.
Xingxing is such a pure and clear girl. Every word of praise she gives makes people happy.
Crown Prince Wei Shiqing brought siblings Nie Luming and Nie Yuke here. Hearing Mu Rujun's clear laughter in the hall, Wei Shiqing couldn't help but smile.
Nie Yuke's eyes flashed with gloom.
But when she followed Wei Shiqing into the palace, her expression had changed back to her usual look of a well-educated, considerate lady from a noble family.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
The maids all bowed along the way.
Mu Rujun and Xing Xing heard the noise in the inner hall and came out to greet them.
"Your Highness." Wei Shiqing stepped forward and naturally took Mu Rujun's hand. Seeing Mu Rujun's rosy face and a smile on her eyes and eyebrows, he knew that Rujun, like him, liked the little girl that his second brother valued very much.
Wei Shiqing was even happier.
As a couple, he values Xingxing very much and naturally hopes that his beloved wife can do the same.
"I have met the Crown Princess, Xiangjun."
Nie Yuke and Nie Luming bowed behind them.
Mu Rujun raised her hand gracefully: "Fifth cousin, fourth cousin, no need to be so polite."
"What are the Crown Princess and the Prince talking about? They are laughing so happily." Wei Shiqing asked with a smile.
Mu Rujun smiled again: "Let's stop talking about girls' private matters. Why are you asking so many questions, Your Highness?"
Wei Shiqing looked at Xing Xing again, his eyes were very gentle: "Is this your first time to visit the East Palace, Xiangjun?"
Xingxing nodded in agreement.
Wei Shiqing smiled and said, "The Crown Princess likes you. You can come to the East Palace often in the future."
After hearing these words, Nie Yuke almost turned pale!
