Chapter 29 The relationship between the two
Li Muhong had something to do in his heart, and after Shen Muchen was concerned several times, he raised his head and smiled and waved his hand.
Shen Muchen nodded and responded. She withdrew her hand and saw her stop before continuing to turn her head and listen to Shen Zitian and Chu Shaodong's conversation.
The parents of the Chu family were both royal relatives. At that time, the Li family and Queen Wang had an extraordinary relationship, and Li Muhong's mother was even more close to Queen Wang as sisters.
Logically speaking, Li Muhong's marriage should have been decided by Queen Wang, and it was more than enough to marry a first-class person. However, until Queen Wang passed away, the Li family fell from the peak to the bottom overnight and completely lost their previous power. In order to consolidate the Li family's position in the capital, Li's mother married her daughter to a merchant like Chu Shaodong.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Muhong is a member of the Li family, thinking that Chu Shaodong must respect her three points, but now the master of the Li family has also left, and only Mrs. Li is left in the entire Li family. In addition, he has owed a lot of debts, and the Li family is in a slump.
After the Li family fell completely, Chu Shaodong married two concubines in a row, which was so annoying. Li Muhong had nowhere to say anything and had to swallow the hardships he suffered in the Chu family.
Shen Muchen thought to himself that Chu Hongyang's birth would make Li Muhong feel better in the Chu family.
While Shen Zitian was discussing Qingyan's birthday party with Chu Shaodong, the two of them were talking about this matter enthusiastically. Only Chu Qingyan, who was standing next to Shen Zitian, did not make a sound. She stood quietly with her waist down and lowered her eyes.
After a discussion with the father-in-law, Shen Zitian turned around and asked Chu Qingyan about his opinion.
"Qingyan, do you think what I said is inappropriate?"
Qingyan's facial expression was not at all turbulent, and she mixed it with a sentence "It's good."
"That's the decision!" Chu Shaodong immediately stood up and quickly gave a gift for fear that His Majesty would repent of the decision just now. "Your Majesty cares so much for his beloved daughter, Chu is very grateful!"
Looking at Chu Shaodong Shen Zitian, he just said lightly, "The father-in-law is so serious."
Shen Zitian also stood up, hugged Chu Qingyan's waist tightly from behind, and glanced at Shen Muchen unnaturally. This action was clearly for the three people in front of him, and to remind Shen Muchen and Chu Qingyan that no matter what in the future, Chu Qingyan would only be his queen.
Although it was not very obvious, this small move was remembered in Chu Shaodong's eyes.
"Ma Kui, go and see Mr. Chu," said Shen Zitian.
Ma Kui didn't say anything, lowered his head and asked outside the door, "Please invite Mr. Chu."
On the way back to Tsinghua Palace, Shen Muchen was walking in front and Yandong followed behind. Both of them were silent and the atmosphere was very heavy.
This tea party was mainly for Chu Qingyan's birthday party, and even the discussions were all at the banquet. Shen Zitian was Chu Qingyan's fiancé and the Chu family was a relative of Shen Zitian. In this way, this tea party had nothing to do with Shen Muchen at all.
Shen Zitian did this to swear to dominate the power, as if he had slapped himself in front of the Chu family, embarrassing himself.
Take a deep breath.
"Has the announcement been released?" The announcement mentioned by Shen Muchen was a painting, a painting painted by Shen Muchen himself.
Yandong nodded, "When Miss Li comes back, someone will definitely come to report it."
He said this, this was just Yandong's words to comfort Shen Muchen. Li Wanli left the city gate and didn't know whether he would come back. Even if he came back, it would be easier to find a girl in the Imperial City.
As they walked, they passed the flower stage near Tsinghua Palace and happened to meet Li Muhong standing under the flower stage.
Tsinghua Palace is located in the deep palace, which is not in the same direction as leaving the palace. How could she be here?
During this period, the maid Zhu Ran, beside Li Muhong, saw Shen Muchen first and bowed, "Your Highness Muchen~"
Hearing Zhu Ran shouting, Li Muhong turned around, "Your Highness." He bent his knees slightly and saluted.
Shen Muchen didn't like the crowd and talkative place, so he moved into the quiet and remote Tsinghua Palace. He lived alone in this palace and had less than twenty servants' voices. Shen Muchen walked up and looked around but did not see Chu Shaodong.
"Why has Mrs. Chu not left the palace yet?" Shen Muchen walked forward.
"Shaodong and His Majesty have something to talk about, but it may not be over for a while. I have never seen the palace, so I thought about it and came to visit." Li Muhong spoke very slowly, and his conversation was full of the upbringing that wealthy families should have. "Can the plain wife disturb His Highness?"
Li Muhong's face was still very bad. Not only did his skin loose and lost his luster, but his eyes were also lost. Shen Muchen was a little worried, "I just found out that your condition was wrong at the tea party. Are you really okay?"
Li Muhong didn't say anything, smiled dryly and lowered his head to cover his face with his hands.
Seeing this, Zhu Ran, who was standing by, stepped forward to explain to the master, "My wife has not had a good rest recently."
Li Muhong's eyes were slightly swollen and his eyes were covered with bloodshot. He must have cried not long ago.
Maybe she had some difficulties in hiding it. Shen Muchen thought about it, nodded and passed by her side. After walking a few steps, he heard Mrs. Chu calling herself behind her.
"Your Highness!" Li Muhong suddenly called out to Mu Chen.
"Is there anything else that Madam?"
Li Muhong wanted to speak but stopped. On the way to the palace today, she was sitting in the carriage and accidentally saw the portrait of Wan Wei outside. Although she had only one chance, the painting of her daughter Li Wan Wei was undoubtedly her daughter, Li Wan Wei, and she would not read it wrong.
Since the accident in Qingguan Temple, Li Muhong was restless and sent someone to check the list of the deceased. Although he did not find Li Wanli's name, he was still very worried. Li Wanli, who suffered from eye disease, rarely stepped out of the temple. Where can she go alone?
I really want to ask Shen Muchen what the relationship between the girl in the painting is with him, but she cannot do this. His Highness Shen Muchen knew that he would find out the connection here and there after he met Li Wanli. If this matter was made public...
After thinking about it, she spoke slowly, "I heard from Qingyan that Your Highness takes good care of our Qingyan on weekdays, and I am her mother... I should say thank you to Your Highness."
Shen Muchen stood there in a daze, thinking that something was a big deal, but never thought that he had to say this in the end.
Looking at Shen Muchen's back gradually moving away, Li Muhong sighed. Except for her close maid Zhu Ran, only a few people could see that her temples were gradually turning gray.
"Madam, aren't you going to ask about His Highness Ms. Muchen?" Zhu Ran walked slowly with Li Muhong's hand in hand.
Li Muhong shook his head slightly, "I can't ask, I can't ask..."
She thought to herself, and her face, which was remembering in her mind, suddenly became hazy in front of her.
He covered his heart with pain, held the wall and thrust his chest, "Child...mom, I'm sorry for you..."
Every night when I think of Li Muhong who has suffered from suffering in the past three years, he wakes up from his dream like he has had a nightmare, and his whole body is soaked with sweat...
"Madam..." Zhu Ran took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Li Muhong's cheeks, looking around for fear of meeting someone he shouldn't have met. "You should be careful in the palace. If someone appears...you can understand the consequences like Zhu Ran..."
After Zhu Ran said something, Li Muhong quickly stabilized her emotions. After wiping the tears on her face, she straightened her waist.
