Chapter 408 Gold Mountain
In the warm sedan chair returning to the palace, Mu Xiyao pondered for a long time alone, then raised her head, her face was full of meaning, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She was right. With Zong Zhenglin forcing her to express her opinion in front of the Queen Mother today, coupled with the will that made her ponder for a long time, she finally found some clues.
There is a gap between mother and child! It's funny but the queen mother doesn't notice it at all. I don't know what it is that caused the emperors of two generations to be worried about Concubine Shu.
It's a pity that she is definitely not in the position to ask about this matter. Being able to keep Zong Zhenglin gloomy all night, with that man's mind, this matter is definitely not a small matter. The royal family is private, and it is better to have less touch.
Fortunately, it was of great benefit to her. The queen mother is getting colder towards her day by day, and one day she will be regarded as a thorn in her side. Without today's incident, even if Zong Zhenglin dotes on her again, the Queen Mother would have to obey her in person.
Mu Xiyao raised the sedan chair curtain, and looked at the solemn and luxurious Changning Palace behind her through the gap, and there was a flash of light in her eyes.
"Not to be angry with me?" In the afternoon, I took time to go back to Yuxiu Palace to see her situation, only to find that this woman was hugging the brocade quilt, smiling like a fox, curled up on the bamboo bed and glaring at him.
She was so happy when he accepted the draft?
"Your Majesty~" The Boss-sama's face darkened in a blink of an eye, Mu Yaonv always felt that she had successfully bullied him, and she was so beautiful in her heart. "You are caring for your concubines, and all your concubines understand." As for the draft, she is a noble concubine. Putting down a sign is just a matter of convenience.
"Aren't you just hoping that your concubine will be jealous of you, and make a show of being a domineering little girl?" Sure enough, the big boss always feels that his uncle is unparalleled in the world, and the woman he likes can't stop surrounding him all the time. spin around.
Take in some women to live in the harem, but give them a bowl of food, and Emperor Yu Jian'an's private treasury is only a drop in the bucket.
I can see what the reason for the excitement in her eyes is. The corner of the emperor's eyes twitched, he couldn't expect too much from this woman. After gaining power, he only cares about how to get in the harem, and his personality can't be corrected no matter how he makes trouble.
That's all. There was no need for her to get involved in the draft.
Even with the brocade quilt, he took her soft and soft body into his arms, and lay on his side on the brocade couch. Zong Zhenglin tapped her forehead with his fingertips, and the man's eyes were full of teasing.
"Do you know He Shi, the noble concubine of Emperor Cheng?"
"I know. I was thrown into limbo after conniving at my relatives' smuggling of official salt. I wrote a long-lasting poem by myself, but it failed to impress Emperor Cheng and make her recover." She remembers it well.
"Emperor Hui loves Concubine An the most, has Jiaojiao heard of it?"
"Of course I know. Concubine An conceived to poison the emperor's heir, and she wholeheartedly supported her son to snatch the position of crown prince. However, God couldn't see it, and told her rather astute son to die young. In the end, the crown prince succeeded, and a cup of poisoned wine would kill him." He bestows death on him." Every dynasty has a faint king. Emperor Hui only doted on Concubine An because she was raised by Xiao Shi, who was still a court lady. She pushed forward, and finally only secretly protected the two young sons to grow up.
For such a strange emperor, Mu Xiyao only hated herself for not occupying Xiao's body. If not, today she doesn't want the wind to get the wind, but the rain to get the rain?
It's a pity, marrying an emperor can't let her choose a good match. It happened that she was assigned a bully with a bad temper, and he was the only one who could bully her. So sad!
She didn't think about harming the prince or anything, but tried her best to gain benefits, which she is good at.
Seeing the envy in her eyes, Emperor Jian'an's entire face turned dark. She can also fancy a woman who was poisoned to death by poison and alcohol! With such a brain, I wish I could strangle him to death.
The limelight is wrong! Inadvertently raising her eyes to meet his dark eyes, Mu Yaonv finally came back to her senses. By the way, this man must not be noticed. She just disliked him once again.
In the eyes of Mu Yaonv, Emperor Jian'an, who was praised by later generations and known as the "Lord of Zhongxing" in history, was far worse than Emperor Hui, the notorious faint king.
"Your majesty, why are you suddenly taking the exam for school officials and concubines?" Although everyone is a noble concubine, they are all quite favored. But she is innocent and has done nothing bad. What happened to those two, Mu Xiyao believed that she would never follow in the same footsteps.
The emperor was unhappy, he treated her like this, the little thing didn't know what to do, and had the guts to make her envy the woman next to her. Does that mean he didn't treat her well enough?
With such a familiarity, Zong Zhenglin also found that it seemed that he hadn't taken much care of her family since he came to the throne. It's no wonder that this woman hasn't made any progress. It's because she hasn't experienced the benefits of power, so she only thinks about admiring herself in front of those useless women in the harem.
Emperor Jian'an suddenly realized that there was still a long way to go before he could become a progressive concubine.
Caressing her eyebrows, the emperor's expression gradually softened, he was persuasive and patient. "Jiaojiao doesn't think about her family's future?"
family? Mu Xiyao opened her eyes, thinking quietly. In a few months, Mr. Mu will be able to retire and become an official, and spend the rest of his life with Mrs. Yu in Beijing.
Mu Jinzhi made a marriage contract two years ago, if not for the death of the empress dowager, he would have already married a wife and had children. That girl had a relationship with her, she was the girl from the Huo family who was properly placed by her after being dazed in the back garden on the day of Chengqing's first birthday party. I heard from my mother that the girl has a gentle temperament, even her father is very satisfied.
Mu Jinzhi himself has been officially worshiped as a third-rank general. Going up, it wasn't that Mu Xiyao underestimated him, but that her brother really didn't have the ability to take the position of general.
Mu Xiting, who was still unable to have an heir, was left beside him, and Mu Xicheng, whose family was busy talking about marriage.
"Do you have a suitable candidate over there, who can match up with the elder sister of the concubine's family?" Mu Xiting, who is married, must not be able to give birth to a child.
He was stunned for a moment by her question, and after a while, Zong Zhenglin squinted his eyes and looked at her again, all the teasing earlier had turned into contempt.
The last time I begged him, I asked Wei Zhen to go over for the sake of the maid beside me. This time, he sincerely hoped that she would develop some ambitions, and it would be good to fight for a hereditary title for her family.
That's right, this no-brainer, why did he just think of him as a matchmaker?
Previously, I deliberately picked two favored examples to ask her for questioning. Why can't this woman see that a favored concubine should have some style?
When meeting someone who is out of tune, trying to reward her with extra grace has become a difficult task. Emperor Jian'an, who was invincible in the previous dynasty, had no choice but to find that the emperor's power seemed to be useless in front of this little thing.
Lost interest for no reason. Facing the most desirable woman, he couldn't make her admire him even more?
Zong Zhenglin caught the woman in front of him and took a deep look. He could see that her eyes were still confused and even impatient? This time I really hate it.
Being curled up with anger, Mu Xiyao struggled to close her eyes slowly.
Is it easy to pass her off as a child? Just want to break her heart by rewarding some visible benefits casually? However, there really wasn't anyone around her who could reap great benefits. It's a pity on this point. Even if Zong Zhenglin gave her the hereditary title, the Mu family would not be able to swallow such a coveted pie. What's more, he will have to cleanse the power of the aristocratic family after that, so it's unreasonable for her to be "bear the brunt" in the eyes of others as a noble concubine.
Fortunately, with such a radiant golden mountain in human form in front of her, can she tell him to run away? Don't worry, the water will flow slowly—let's wait and see.
