Chapter 222 The Compound
"His Royal Highness is diligent in government affairs, serving relatives with sincerity and filial piety, governing the army well, and self-discipline. If Concubine Shu said... Could it be that my concubine has troubled you?"
Mu Xiyao counted them one by one with her fingers. No matter how much she thought about it, Concubine Shu could only be dissatisfied with Zong Zhenglin in the matter of the backyard. As for the family members of the prince's mansion, she is the only one who can be called a disaster.
After trying to understand the reason, Zongzheng Linjun's face sank slightly, Mu Xiyao pouted her little mouth, moved her little butt twice, put her arms around his neck, and buried her head without saying a word.
It was so aggrieved that His Highness the Sixth Highness was really reluctant to part with it.
Mu Xiyao buried her head and sighed, she couldn't hide it after all. No matter how harmonious they are on weekdays, when it comes to critical times, women in the backyard have always been dispensable. mutual affection? In the face of Qian Cheng's power, it's just a joke. Concubine Shu... she is also a woman in the harem at her core.
Zong Zhenglin caressed her black hair, and his slender fingers passed through the hair very slowly. If you say you know her, what kind of reaction will you have? Zong Zhenglin couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Mother concubine mentioned the Su family." The words were concise and clear.
Su Linrou... Mu Xiyao closed her eyes and meditated.
"The emperor wants to use Su Bowen?" The front and back palaces have always been one, and there is no reason for favor, except for her who is cheating, no one else can think about it.
"They're all fine." Zong Zhenglin patted her back lightly and softly. "What does Jiaojiao think?"
Ask her what she means? Mu Xiyao suddenly laughed. Tilting his head and biting his ear, his little hand climbed up the side of the man's face, and rubbed it a few times indiscriminately. In this posture, he returned very briskly.
"It's such a big advantage to put a concubine in front of me, and I won't let it go."
Zong Zhenglin narrowed his eyes, and then laughed heartily. Very good, the kneading just now, was it picky or picky? The dignified prince actually did what she thought was a great benefit.
"The benefits of this palace, can Jiaojiao be moved?"
"It's more than just moving. The concubine is eager to get all the benefits, and doesn't even leave her mouth to others. Your Highness, what do you think?"
Zongzheng Lin's phoenix eyes were burning brightly, and he leaned over to kiss her tenderly. After a long time, Mu Xiyao was out of breath, and lay in his arms, humming delicately.
"So, so domineering. This palace agrees."
In a daze, Mu Xiyao got him to agree, buried her head in Zong Zhenglin's chest, and raised the corners of her mouth... flirting, concubine will also do it.
Two days later, Yan Chengzhou took the order and escorted Master Yao away from the mansion with the guards. Tian Fushan arranged the frame early, with soft pillows and snacks inside, as well as good scented tea. I'm afraid that the pampered master is still dissatisfied, so he is discussing with Mother Zhao carefully.
"Everything else is alright, why didn't the master and the pair of rabbits seem to be there?"
"I sent it to the courtyard this morning. His Highness happened to pass by when he was going to court, and he said that he was passing by along the way."
The pair of rabbits is not only worried about Master Yao, but His Highness is also always thinking about it. All His Highness thought was how to place the rabbit farther away from the main house...
"Then it's all in order, there's nothing to miss. Just wait for the master to come out before we can set off."
In Chanruo Garden, Mu Xiyao followed the rules and came to ask for resignation. He Lian Minmin couldn't talk to her, and he felt hesitant even to exchange pleasantries, so he simply greeted her and let her go.
Watching Mu Xiyao walk away gracefully, Helian Minmin looked cold. "Send the news. Isn't Helian Weirui anxious? Mu's leaving the mansion just happened to fulfill her."
That woman can walk through the market wearing a face scarf, which is annoying to watch.
"Commander Yan?" Mu Xiyao supported Mo Lan as she was about to board the car, her eyes flickered and she smiled brightly. "In the next two days, please trouble the commander and take care of him."
Didn't Zong Zhenglin just send this elm bump to guard the door tightly and not let her go out.
I think she has dealt with Ye Kai and Wei Zhen, and they are very familiar with each other. It's the first time that Yan Chengzhou has been sent to her side as a "guard." Huilan has complained several times before, saying that this person is very rigid and cold and difficult to get close to.
Yan Chengzhou's back was straight, and he was wearing only a single shirt under a light armor. Holding the sword hilt in his hand, he kept his eyes fixed. When facing Master Yao, the more you talk, the easier it is to suffer. This is Ye Kai's blood and tears.
Now that the side concubine took the initiative to speak, she quickly corrected her expression and replied loudly, "Master Yao is polite."
Mu Xiyao was startled by his tiger roar, she really belonged to Zong Zhenglin, and the soldiers trained in the barracks were very brave.
The frame moved forward all the way, but in less than half an hour, it was already outside the gate of the mansion.
Zong Zhenglin was about to enter the compound five times, which was the residence of the Duke of Dai during the time of Gaozu. The entire courtyard is based on blue bricks, stone walls, and white jade glaze, with an open layout and extraordinary momentum. Several courtyards are even more well-proportioned, magnificent and luxurious.
Mu Xiyao rode the warm sedan chair through the archway and the hall to the main courtyard, and couldn't help but smile when she got off the sedan chair.
"Your Highness, why are you here? You are hiding it from my concubine." I thought Zong Zhenglin would return to the manor to discuss matters, but unexpectedly he was waiting here.
His Highness the Sixth Prince stepped down the stone steps, took her hand, and led her to the main house. "Look, are you satisfied?"
Mu Xiyao looked around with staring eyes, impatient with the secretiveness in the room, she pulled the face towel and stuffed it in Cymbidium's hand.
"Be careful, don't scratch the wound." Zong Zhenglin lifted her chin, checked, and then let her go, letting her jump around.
Turning around, when she came back again, Mu Xiyao's eyes were bright, obviously very satisfied. "Your Highness, many of the ornaments in the room are orphans. Where did you get them?"
"The subordinates are filial." Zong Zhenglin didn't think so, but Mu Xiyao instantly understood. That's right, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is now valued by Emperor Yuan Cheng, so of course there are no lack of fawning people.
Looking at the room again, Mu Xiyao was a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, if the concubine returns to the mansion, what will be done with the things in this house?" Boss, you have a lot of money, why don't you reward the concubine together? All the concubines moved into the small treasury and locked it up. I will give your son a betrothal gift in the future. It will also save you worry, isn't it?
Zong Zhenglin leaned on the brocade couch, Shu Lan beckoned her to come closer, caught him in his arms, and discussed with her with ulterior motives.
"Is it okay to put it here?"
"My concubine is distressed."
The little girl has plucked her hair like a wild goose, and now her idea is to hit this house, His Highness the Sixth Highness doesn't think it's funny.
"Then you need to ask the master here what he means."
Mu Xiyao's eyeballs rolled around suddenly, and she lay on his chest, Yaoyao Rourou entangled him.
"Your Highness talked to the master here." He slapped Zong Zhenglin on the chin, as if he felt that the bribe had been taken lightly, and quickly made another note on the side of his face.
Where does the "master here" come from? Isn't it that Your Highness you are hiding from the family, private property that has not been recorded in the public office. Fortunately, Zong Zhenglin has a decent style of work, only owns private property, and does not support outsiders.
Mu Xiyao's small abacus was crackling, thinking about how to take advantage of it and allocate it to her own territory. Anyway, Zong Zhenglin was also expected to be an emperor. Instead of letting him reward the women in the harem with a big wave of his hand, it is better to make her diligent and thrifty in managing the family and making money well.
After Mu Xiyao got close, a smile gradually appeared in Zong Zhenglin's eyes. The little girl is bound to make a fuss later, so it's better if her hands and feet are sleepy.
Locking the person in his arms, His Highness the Sixth Highness confessed to Mu Xiyao maliciously.
"This place is originally under Jiaojiao's name."
The woman who was flattering just now had a smirk stuck on her face.
"Your Highness, Your Highness. Don't you just coax a concubine?"
Oh, hello, her little heart is trembling a little. Five entrances to the compound in Shengjing City... How much money does it cost? Your Highness, it would be great for you to give the concubine a big red envelope.
Greed is not enough, so to speak, it is a person who keeps money like an adoring girl.
"Promising." Zong Zhenglin knocked on her forehead. "How about the rewards today, don't you feel bad?"
Mu Xiyao rubbed her forehead, and immediately spoke righteous words. "Your Highness, it's important for you to concentrate on political affairs. Do your business for the emperor with your heart, don't be distracted."
The family is supported by a capable man, and life is not afraid of prosperity.
Mu Xiyao was putting on a show, but before she could comprehend enough, she suddenly remembered that something was wrong. Didn't Zong Zhenglin's previous sentence "the master here" just deceive her into going in without knowing it, and she was deceived for nothing!
"Your Highness, how are you fooling people?" The big boss is bored, looking for fun with her? Mu Xiyao grinned her teeth, her small appearance was full of viciousness.
The two were making a fuss in the house, while Zhao Mama outside was dazed with the house deed.
With such a big place, His Highness will give it as he pleases. This handwriting... is really worth it.
Accompanying Mu Xiyao to get ready, after dinner, Zong Zhenglin got up and went out. In the evening, I have an appointment with the Fifth Dynasty and others, and I need to discuss political affairs in the prince's mansion, but I can't stay and settle down.
"Be good during the day, and come back to the hall later tomorrow." After rejecting Mu Xiyao's farewell, Zong Zhenglin put on his cloak and strode away with Ye Kai.
"Master? Your Highness has gone too far." Seeing her lost in thought, Zhao mama stood outside in the middle of the night in a daze, so she had to ask her to wake her up. If the wind blows and he has typhoid fever, no one in the courtyard will be able to please him.
"Send His Highness back to the mansion like this... Why does this concubine feel like being an outsider?" Could it be that San'er will become addicted after doing it for a long time?
It is said that she is the person of the third child, how did she start to take her seat?
Mo Lan was holding a lantern in her hand, but she almost dropped the lantern after listening to the master's nonsense, which shocked everyone.
"Bah bah, master, what did you say? You are a respectable side concubine from His Royal Highness who entered the door and joined Zong Die. How can you be the same as those unscrupulous women in the brothel and Chu Pavilion outside? Fortunately, His Highness is not here, otherwise you will be punished today " Hui Lan stomped her feet angrily, such an unsafe master, she just met her, and she had no choice. I don't know how many times I have been so angry.
Mu Xiyao yelled, called out to Huan Leng, and helped the stern Zhao Nanny to go back to the house.
If you talk too much, you will lose it, if you talk too much, you will lose it... The maids are so powerful these days. Zong Zhenglin shouldn't have hidden guards, right?
On the other side, Mu Xiyao accidentally broke the tongue, and was hiding in the hot spring pool to relieve her fatigue, avoiding Mother Zhao's preaching. The Sixth Highness had just returned to the mansion, and had already been stopped outside the gate by the people who had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness, Concubine Helian ordered this old servant to bring ginger soup. She said that you should go back home on horseback to avoid the cold." Mother Feng respectfully handed over the food box and waited for His Royal Highness to take it.
Zong Zhenglin paused, turned his head to signal Ye Kai to take over, but he went straight forward.
"Tell Helian, and trouble her."
After waiting until His Highness the Sixth Highness could no longer see his back clearly, Nanny Feng rubbed her hands that were red with cold, took a breath and covered them with warmth for a while, then walked quickly to Zen Ruoyuan, rushing to report the news to the master. The concubine is so well-behaved, how could it move His Highness. After looking forward to this for a long time, I can only come up with a "troubleshooting" scene.
I don't know how that person from Danruoyuan made His Highness refuse to let go?
