Chapter 365
Coming out of Concubine Shu's palace, Su Linrou's expression was extremely bad all the way. Helian Minmin put on airs and couldn't see any joy or anger. Only Mu Xiyao lagged behind and led her son to laugh and amused.
"Sister is kind-hearted." She squeezed her throat and sneered. Su Linrou didn't believe that Mu Xiyao couldn't understand what Concubine Shu meant by fortress people. Now, no one knows that His Highness is looking forward to that seat, and the side concubines in the backyard of the mansion can accommodate four of them. The reason why they are hurriedly recruited to talk now is probably because they have the intention of marrying courtiers.
Mu Xiyao held Chengyou's hand, while Chengqing held his other little hand, telling him to be careful of his feet from time to time like a little adult. The three mother and son looked so happy, only to see the envy of everyone around them.
"The concubine can just take care of her own garden. On the other hand, the concubine and His Highness are the ones to decide." Ruan Ruan pushed back, not only pointing out that the Su family violated the rules in this matter, but also specifically mentioning the garden, who would not listen? She revealed the pride hidden in her words. What are you doing guarding the yard? Isn't it just pampering and raising a son?
Seeing that she changed Fang'er's publicity, Helian Minmin led the people to walk ahead quickly. As soon as everyone fell down, Mu Xiyao just pretended not to know, but she had other considerations in her heart.
Although it is not wise for Concubine Shu to use her strength behind her back at this time, it happens to be able to help Zong Zhenglin a lot.
Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't like forming cliques anymore, and Concubine Shu was busy consolidating the power under Zong Zhenglin's command, which was naturally not pleasing. It's a pity that she is Zong Zhenglin's biological mother, and such a stupid move will only make the emperor feel that the mother and son are not in touch with each other in private, and that His Highness the Sixth Highness has no intention of involving the front court and the rear palace.
That's why Zong Zhenglin was clearly not happy to see it, but he just told her to deal with it perfunctorily and let it go.
After boarding the sedan chair, Mu Xiyao settled the two little ones, lifted the curtain and took another look at the imperial city behind her, her eyes gradually revealing Shen Ning. As the side concubine of Zongzhenglin's mansion, Concubine Shu has no control over her. But there is one person who will definitely make arrangements for him and consider carefully.
The reserve was replaced, and the new prince was the one who entrusted the country. In the future, if the aristocratic family is moved again... the side concubine will be the best bargaining chip.
"Master, aren't you worried that Concubine Shu values those few, and their family background is too strong?" In Zen Ruoyuan, Mother Feng rubbed Helian Minmin's legs and feet. People entering the ordinary mansion will definitely not have as much influence on her master as they did on the one from Danruoyuan. But if the background is too good, this matter has to be discussed elsewhere. With no heirs under her knees, the position of the concubine is not safe.
"It's too early to worry about it." Concubine Shu was extremely dissatisfied with her. No matter how unstable the position is, the title of "Crown Princess" that everyone is jealous of is definitely not something that concubines in the harem can get their hands on.
"The hardest time is yet to come."
Helian Minmin could see clearly, Wan Jingwen would not be confused. Quietly guarding Jiang Zixuan, as if nothing happened.
Looking at the prince's residence, the most reconciled is none other than the side concubine Su.
But she didn't have the guts to make trouble in front of Zong Zhenglin, so she found an excuse and rushed to Zen Ruoyuan to find He Lian Minmin to provoke him. In this way, Helian Shi became more and more bored with her. The last time, Seldom lost her temper. No matter how restless she was, she was punished to copy the book.
Living a comfortable life, looking at the jokes in the backyard, Mu Xiyao was lying in Zong Zhenglin's arms, laughing happily.
"The crown prince came to ask you to borrow money?" Zong Zhenghui's embroidered pillow also imitated tricks?
Mu Xiyao had a funny face as she tugged at her master's crown belt. "Your Highness, hurry up and change into your old clothes, don't put on your jade crown. You have been sloppy for two days, and you will send it to him with a bank note. It would be best if you are in the early morning and you happen to be caught by the emperor."
His Royal Highness, this move is extremely disgraceful. Paying money to make up the household loan with him is to help him deceive the emperor and violate the sacred heart. He didn't respond, and just went out to make a fuss to accuse Zong Zhenglin of "adding insult to injury", which showed that he was ambitious for the position of the crown prince, and only recruited Emperor Yuan Cheng to dislike him.
Zong Zhenghui jumped the wall in a hurry, and he did not hesitate to pull out the last fig leaf, and wanted to drag people into the water. Obviously, he was the most resentful and unwilling, because Zong Zhenglin, who used to bear the title of "*****", stepped on him.
This troublemaker... Zong Zhenglin knocked on her forehead, he really was a troublemaker.
"No need. The prince has changed his mind."
"Huh?" Would he be willing to give up halfway?
His Highness the Sixth Highness raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of amusement. "This hall's proposal, the prince thinks it's inappropriate, and he can't save face and pay the prince's house an IOU."
...
He has to have the courage to sign an IOU for you, and Emperor Yuan Cheng will be able to decree to abolish the reserve tomorrow.
In April of the 16th year of Zhanghe, an urgent report was sent from Liuzhou. Three days later, Emperor Yuan Cheng received the urgent report, and the imperial study was lit all night.
After the morning court the next day, the emperor ordered Zong Zhenghui to kneel in the Jiahe Hall, in front of the princes and ministers, and stand under the plaque written by Emperor Cheng, weeping and saying:
"I have inherited the great ancestor Hongye for thirty-eight years. I have worked hard, sympathized with the ministers and workers, benefited and supported the people, and maintained order and order in the world. It is the view of orders. Prince Zong Zhenghui violated the ancestors' virtues, did not follow my orders, but was vicious and violent. ****, it’s hard to say anything. I’ve tolerated it for twenty years. It’s because of its wickedness, its authority, entanglement of party members, and wanton taking of state money. Its subordinates are wanton and surly, and they use various positions to Interfering with the reserves of cotton, hemp, grain and grass. Disturbing the foundation of the country. If this continues, it will surely lead to the ruin of our country and the thieves of our people. If such an unkind and immoral person is the king, what is the legacy of the ancestors?"
Seeming to be more and more distressed, his body couldn't help shaking, and Gu Changde hurriedly supported him, and he ordered again:
"The thousand-year-old Guozuo of the Great Wei Dynasty has stretched and prospered, and it is absolutely impossible to pay this person. Today, it is announced to heaven, earth, and ancestral temples that Zongzheng will be abolished as the crown prince of the Hui Kingdom."
In May, it is another year when the peach blossoms bloom.
In Danruo Garden, Chengqing Chengyouju has grown tall and is chasing two rabbits, letting go of the yard to play. Mu Xiyao moved the imperial concubine chair and sat under the eaves of the porch. Seeing that the little guy was quite sensible and couldn't hurt her to raise pets, she turned to the pages of the book in her hand.
A shadow suddenly fell over her head, just blocking her light. Lifting his neck, he looked through his eyes, and saw Zong Zhenglin squinting his eyes slightly, the brilliance in his eyes was burning, and even his face was full of pleasure.
"Why is Your Highness happy?" Such an expression of joy was not his usual style.
Before he could respond, the little guy in front had already pounced on him affectionately. "Daddy!" Cheng You had short legs, and being squeezed behind Cheng Qing, his little face was flushed with anxiety.
Seeing his son, Zong Zhenglin had a gentle expression on his face. Leaning over to touch the tops of their hair one by one, they have always looked down upon the rules of the Great Wei Dynasty who have grandchildren but not sons.
"Talk back to Jiaojiao." Leaving a sentence, one in each hand, the father and son walked out of the courtyard in a blink of an eye. Well, when His Highness the Sixth Highness comes here, he always likes to take the two little ones to the front yard to observe and practice martial arts. Since he is the godson of His Highness the Sixth Highness, Mu Xiyao agreed never to intervene.
Suppressed with curiosity, he patiently coaxed his son to sleep at night. When he returned to the house, he saw the man with his clothes open, his elbows closed and his eyes closed. Mu Yaonu stomped on her embroidered shoes indiscriminately, pressing on Zong Zhenglin very recklessly.
"At this moment, I should make it clear. When you are eating, you are proud of yourself, but your concubine's appetite is hanging. The crispy duck on the plate has lost its taste as if it has been overnight."
When he opened his eyes, he saw her lying on her chest, complaining, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright.
Lost taste? Who fills the belly of that half duck? He wanted to look at her lower abdomen and make fun of her, but unexpectedly, he was caught by her graceful figure just by looking at her like this.
This pose... Zong Zhenglin felt that the little goblin was just trying to trick her, so she didn't allow him to be polite. Just as he was about to make a move, the woman who was pressing on him hugged his neck and leaned forward softly.
"If Your Highness is willing to ask the concubine to relieve her itch first, this is the reward..." Squinting his eyes, he slid his fingertips across his handsome face, and stroked Zong Zhenglin's **** chest along his neck, on his waist and abdomen. Draw a circle, and then follow, but suddenly there is no movement.
Being provocatively suspended in the air, Zong Zhenglin reached out and kneaded her earlobe. "How's the reward?"
Her face moved closer to him, her delicate lips pouted under her eyelids. Holding Zong Zhenglin's palm, he was so shameless that he winked at the man like this.
Such an obvious hint... Zong Zhenglin's eyes darkened instantly.
"Tomorrow morning, all the ministers will participate in the selection of the crown prince." As soon as the words fell, the woman who dared to offend was caught and crushed on the couch.
After a whirlwind, Mu Xiyao pushed the man who was eagerly tugging on her skirt.
"Your Highness, you keep a straight face all the time, and you are dignified and difficult to get close to. Except for your subordinates, even those who support you in their hearts, the court will not dare to cling to you to displease you. Are you in no hurry about this matter?"
Could it be that being able to reach that position was all an idea at this moment? Going home and reciting sutras to plant the fields, detached from the outside world... Mu Xiyao got goosebumps just thinking about this tune.
If Zong Zhenglin could work hard, the battle in Mobei would not come to an abrupt end. Shang was trying to figure out his intentions quickly, but was completely restrained by this man,
"Just wait and see tomorrow."
Being blocked by him, Mu Xiyao gave up struggling. He said "wait and see", but he was impatient with her distraction.
His Highness the Sixth Highness was unusually energetic that night, the candles in the main room were actually burning until Yin Shi and then extinguished.
Hui Lan softly woke up Nanny Zhao who was dozing outside the door, and the two relaxed their hands and feet, seeing that everything was safe in the main house, they helped them to rest in the side room with a lantern on.
The master is so... so unruly, if it is true as the rumors outside, after entering the palace and having sex with the master again, it must be recorded in the daily note.
If you really want a bad one, you will not only be honest, but you will also give your master a reputation as a vixen. The palace is no better than my own house, if there is a slight discrepancy, the palaces will punish... Zhao Mama is an old man in the palace, lying on the bed at the moment, tossing and turning, she can't sleep well.
Maybe, I have to mention it to my master in private? Although it is difficult to say, it is better to persuade His Royal Highness. That master is used to arbitrariness, but fortunately, the master is capable, and his words are often still effective.
Gritting his teeth while hugging the quilt, he guessed that since Mr. Boss can look happy outside, it must be because of his wisdom pearl. Who is the hole card in his hand?
Mu Xiyao has already concluded that Zong Zhenglin will never avoid this dispute because of taboo. Emperor Yuan Cheng was not the one she thought. This emperor was fierce and decisive when he was young, and now he has not lost his sharpness.
According to Mu Xiyao's conjecture, in the Hall of Qinzheng, the recommenders each support the chosen master behind them, and the confrontation of words can be described as sharp. Just as one person retreated, another person came out more and more.
After the uproar, it was evident that the two Highnesses Zongzhengming and Zongzhenghan were supported by the majority of courtiers. Sitting high on the dragon chair nowadays, Zong Zhenglin, who sits high on the dragon chair and takes a deep glance at the calm and straight back, has a questioning look in his eyes.
"Father, my son has something to say." With a salute, Zong Zhenghan stepped to the center of the hall, knelt down on one knee, his lowered eyes were full of hatred.
Zong Zhenglin just glanced at him, then retracted his gaze, and stood indifferently and respectfully.
"My son, my son also agrees that the sixth brother should take on this important task."
As soon as the voice fell, the entire hall fell silent, and a needle could be heard falling.
