Chapter 400 Appeasement

With half a walnut in his mouth, he barely choked. Mu Xiyao stared, the man on the other side of the desk was calm and steady, as if what she said earlier was insignificant.

"You said that King Ping colluded with the two Jins...reverse?" Or she didn't sleep well during her lunch break today, her mind was not so clear, and she became confused.

Picking up a pen to write Zhu Zhu on the memorial, Zong Zhenglin raised his eyes slightly, seeing her silly bun face, his fingertips were a little ready to move. Regretfully glanced at the thick pile of memorials, His Royal Highness resisted the urge to knead her, lowered his eyes and continued to govern.

"Gu looks like a joke?"

No, absolutely not. Your dead face, joking and joking is too difficult for you.

The man on the other side is by no means facial paralyzed. When threatening her, his expression and eyes are all superb, nuanced. But in the past, he was too strict and used to put on airs.

"Ping Wang, he shouldn't be so confused." Looking tentatively at her boss, Mu Xiyao expected that this man must have made a move.

It would be unwise to say otherwise. Although Emperor Yuan Cheng was bedridden, he hadn't died yet. The prince supervised the country, and there was no turmoil in the government. What is he, Zong Zhenghan, against? I didn't see King Ning An'an guarding Jingzhou in a proper manner, except that he returned to Beijing more than a year ago to help the Queen Mother, and then returned to the fief, which was very well-behaved.

One of the two pondered in secret, while the other buried himself in political affairs. After eating the walnuts in Mu Xiyao's mouth, she casually took another one, and there was a crisp cracking sound, which suddenly broke the silence in the hall.

Every time Tian Fushan, who was waiting outside the hall, heard the sound, his heart trembled. The master held the golden dragon inlaid jade paperweight that the emperor gave to the crown prince, and smashed the walnuts with great enthusiasm. An imperial gift...Master, please discipline me at least.

As if he had answered his prayer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's displeasure warning finally came from the hall. "Jiaojiao."

The chief steward shook his head secretly. Master, you reprimanded Empress Liangdi, calling so intimately, who can hear it? Normally, His Highness scolded his subordinates with a straight face, but this is not the tone.

"It's agreed to only use three pieces, don't be dishonest." The little woman is greedy and sometimes intemperate. In about an hour, it will be time for dinner, and she will lose her appetite again.

Standing outside, Tian Fushan's old face drooped completely. What do you value, prince?

Being caught by him on the spot, Mu Xiyao sat up straight. Glancing secretly, he saw that the man's phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and his gaze was still on her, with a stern expression on his face.

Hastily pushed the plate of snacks away, really guilty. The little hand broke open the smashed shell very quickly, dexterously picked out the walnut kernels, and threw the largest piece into his mouth first, then got up and came to him. She bent down to please her and pinched it together, smiled shyly, and brought it to his mouth.

This woman... Zong Zhenglin's eyebrows twitched, and his hand holding the pen was slightly unsteady.

"Shouldn't Jiaojiao respect Gu first?" Three obediences and four virtues have no hope for her. The little girl should always remember the story of "Ranging pears" she told her son.

Doesn't this respect you? Otherwise, who would like to see your face. He muttered in his heart, but he smiled sweetly on his face. With a push of his index finger, he stuffed the walnut into his mouth.

There is no young eunuch here to test poison, but no one is like her, her behavior can be described as rude and reckless.

Meeting the dark eyes in his eyes, Mu Xiyao didn't feel any difference. On the contrary, she felt that she was always so half-bowed and kept his uncle's reserve for a long time, but her waist would not be able to stand up.

"It's just you and my concubine here. You always treat your concubine very well. You have to eat, dress and play well. You should be close to my concubine first. You are busy at the moment, and my concubine will not bother you. Let's do it on our own." Just take good care of yourself." If you really want to "respect" everywhere, you won't be surprised.

Putting a high hat on him shamelessly? His Highness the crown prince raised his brows high, and was about to tease her, when he saw the woman put the finger that was feeding him to her lips and licked it, with a natural expression, and she didn't realize that it was inappropriate.

Zong Zhenglin's eyes darkened. The palm pressing on the memorial made three points of strength secretly. The filial piety period will be two days away, and the little goblin's gestures are all flirtatious. Because of her inadvertent expression, it was even more of a disaster. What a jerk!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very proud of himself, but his concentration is useless in front of her, so he can only blame Mu Xiyao for being unruly and distracting him.

"Go to the other end and sit down for the word. Be polite." Without changing his face, he sent people away. The past few days have been very persistent, trying not to let him succeed. Neither can be dirty, nor can the prince use it. He needs to restrain the impatience provoked by her all the time.

The smelly man turned his face in a blink of an eye. I just ate the benefits she gave me, and I'm not polite at all, so what's the word at this time! Muttering and turning around, she was caught in the front hall to accompany her, under the eyes of Mr. Boss, she couldn't tolerate her being too messy.

Most importantly, in the slightest...he has something on his mind?

Sitting behind the chief case, he obediently picked up the lake pen, his mind never resting for a moment.

Why did Zong Zhenghan fall into his scheme? That man will not be the master of others.

Why did Zong Zhenglin seem to be in danger, his eyes were so gloomy that he couldn't get rid of it...

In the spring, there is still light in the temple near dusk. There was no need to hold a lamp, the afterglow of the wide-open hall door shone in, and it just happened to wrap her in it. Soft and warm, the profile of the little woman's face is gentle, her slightly drooping eyelashes are curled and fine. It seems that the mouth is chanting, the curve of the lips is very beautiful, slightly curved upward.

On her head was a carved white magnolia, and the golden jade beads inlaid on the tassels were faintly shining, making her already bright complexion even more vivid.

The long figure behind the writing case happened to clearly reveal the woman's exquisite and graceful figure.

Zong Zhenglin looked at Mu Xiyao for a long time when he was completely oblivious to her, his expression was extremely obscure.

When she was feeding him just now, he couldn't stop his heart from jumping. The first thing he thought of was that this morning, the leader of the most heartfelt guard under his command personally delivered the report.

Knowing the shocking truth all of a sudden, no matter how frightened and angry he is, he can't get angry. It was too late, even stopping that person would not help.

In the end, he personally ignited the dark newspaper, and watched the corners of the paper slowly curl and burn to ashes. The taste in my heart is full of mixed flavors.

It is not that there is no resentment or hatred, but it is also impossible to erase the blood relationship. After ordering someone to secretly replace the inappropriate decoction, Zong Zhenglin felt extremely depressed all morning.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I couldn't help calling her over, seeing those bright and sly eyes, mischievous but as clear as water, full like a moon, the depression in my heart dissipated bit by bit.

Seeing her quietly by her side now, her petite appearance is still dishonest, biting the pen she didn't know where she was distracted. Fortunately, such a woman, laughing and cursing in front of him, was sincere. There is still such a treasure as her in the harem, like a light suddenly leaping into the dark palace.

The shock and anger were appeased by her, and the rest was only pity.

Since he bound her, he will be honored with her forever. Even if wealth and honor were not what she wanted, she would never want to leave even half a step in this life.
