Chapter 209 Rusty
"Eh? Goddess Wu Yu's expression doesn't look right."
"Ah, she clutched her belly and lay on the donkey's back."
Mu Xiyao was attracted by the exclamation and panting of the neighbor, she got up and leaned on the fence, and tiptoed to join in the fun.
"Aren't you good at teaching, huh?" Zong Zhenglin took a few steps forward and pinched her waist, firmly pressing the half of the woman in front of him.
"I can't see it." Mu Xiyao was aggrieved. Most of the women next to her wore high-heeled sandals with round toes. She wanted to be comfortable, but she reluctantly gave up the beauty of her feet. She only wore embroidered shoes, so she was naturally a little shorter.
Zong Zhenglin saw that she lowered her head and deliberately put the moon white embroidered shoes out of her skirt, showing her head slightly. The color of her eyes darkened, and she immediately stared, the warning in her eyes forced Mu Xiyao to restrain herself quickly, and grudgingly pouted.
There is beauty everywhere on Mu Xiyao's body, even her toes are crystal clear and pink, which is extremely lovely. Showing her embroidered shoes outside like this secretly, obviously breaking the boudoir training of a noble girl, and being seen by others, it is inevitable to have obscene thoughts. What Zong Zhenglin hated the most was that others coveted Mu Xiyao.
"Come up." The cloak dragging the ground waved away, blocking the sight of Su Linrou and the others behind him, Zong Zhenglin gently lifted Mu Xiyao onto his feet.
Winter morning boots are already thick in texture, and several layers are specially added to the bottom. Standing on his feet like this, Mu Xiyao instantly saw the situation in the arena clearly.
Behind her was a man with a strong chest. At this time, Zong Zhenglin's tall figure completely enveloped her. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Mu Xiyao turned around and kissed Zong Zhenglin's cheek like a dragonfly.
"Your Highness, you are much smarter than my concubine." The flattery was cheerful and loud.
Who said that His Highness the Sixth Highness is majestic and rigid? How wrong. This man puts his heart into it, and his methods are not inferior to Huajian's veterans.
Su Linrou saw that the two people in front of them were very close, and their backs seemed to be stacked together. Bearing the throbbing pain in his heart, he resolutely moved his gaze away, not daring to take another look.
At the imperial driver's office, Emperor Yuan Cheng frowned at the sudden noise.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Yu Nu Wu's stomach has been spoiled by eating. The concubine begs to allow her to step down, and the imperial doctor Xuan will show me." Seeing that the situation was not right, the imperial concubine softly begged for favor with Emperor Yuan Cheng, and cleverly smoothed the situation.
It is obviously not pleasing to have trouble at this time. The little imperial maids are vying to be favored by the imperial court, but the gain outweighs the loss. I am afraid that the sign of the respect room will be taken down for several months.
"Sure." A court lady is already dispensable, and causing trouble out of nowhere, Emperor Yuan Cheng already grew disgusted with her.
The servants nearby sighed secretly, it is really not worth it for Wu Yunu to cut off her future in less than a year after entering the palace. Competing for favor is not something everyone can do.
The polo was interrupted, everyone got off the stage, and waited according to the rules for Emperor Yuan Cheng to show off.
Zong Zhengying, who was dressed in plain white, turned her eyes and looked at the person standing behind Zong Zhenghan with only half of her body exposed, and then looked at Mu Xiyao who was talking with Zong Zhenglin from a distance, a smile gradually appeared on her lips meaning.
Finally seized the opportunity to make her embarrassing in public. She had been looking forward to this slap for a long time. Mrs. Mu, today's polo game is just for you.
When the palace maid carried Wu Yunu away, Zong Zhengying looked around in embarrassment, until her eyes stopped at Zong Zhenglin's place, her eyes brightened instantly.
"Sixth brother, as soon as Wu Yunv left, there was one person missing on the court. I heard that Concubine Mu Ce grew up in Qingzhou and was well-bred. She must have learned riding skills from her teacher, right? Why not let Mu Ce The concubine came off to join in the fun, so as to fill in the vacancy, so as not to spoil everyone's interest. Father, is this proposal feasible?"
Zong Zhengying said the words to death in one breath, and had no intention of making Mu Xiyao refuse at all.
If a noble daughter from a noble family in Shengjing City has never learned riding skills, she will be ridiculed by gossip. Zong Zhengying clearly knew that Mu Xiyao was from Qingzhou, so she might not have been in contact with Yuma Juju, and she pleaded for her life in such a clear way. The vulgarity of family education can't be on the stage.
There are things going on in the palace, and there are countless strife in the open and in the dark. The grievances between Zong Zhengying and Mu Xiyao have long been known. Fights between women's families are nothing more than normal. They are fighting for the limelight, but if no one is killed, no one will take it seriously.
At this time, the fourth princess "uplifts" Mrs. Mu, which is probably another good show. It's nothing to do with me, and others are more happy to watch.
Mushi? Interest flashed in Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes. That girl knows a lot of things, such as flower plating, numeracy and historical facts, and I heard that she has a good way of raising children, not to mention the poems and articles she published in "Hong Wen Ji" anonymously. I don't know if that girl's polo skills can also make people's eyes shine.
As for Zong Zhengying's initiative to nominate Mu Xiyao, Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't think otherwise. There have always been battles in the harem. If you interfere in everything, the emperor may die soon.
"What do you say about the old six's family?"
The imperial concubine was slightly surprised by Emperor Yuan Cheng's tone. Such a way of asking should be approved by Zong Zhengying's request. I don't know why the emperor seems to have a little joy when he asked Mrs. Mu this question?
Mu Xiyao knew that things had changed since Zong Zhengying pretended to look around. The woman's eyes were sneaky, and she knew she had no good intentions at a glance. Sure enough, in the end, he found an excuse to force her to end.
This is another opportunity for planning, and it is also an opportunity to attack Wu Yunv, and it seems not sincere enough to praise her for her good intentions. Especially the words of pleading for her life are really beautiful.
Well-bred, only four words, blocked her way out. Not to mention the crime of "disturbing everyone's interest" later. Everyone, including Emperor Yuan Cheng.
Listening to the emperor's question, Mu Xiyao stepped forward in response. Smiling at the kind-hearted woman in her eyes, she turned her head to look at Zong Zhenglin's handsome face. Mu Xiyao saluted dignifiedly, and when she called out, Mu Ran raised her head, her bright autumn eyes shining brightly.
"If you go back to the emperor, concubine, take orders."
The female voice was clear, and when a word landed, several people's faces changed on the spot.
Zong Zhenglin looked solemnly, staring at the graceful woman with doubts in his phoenix eyes. According to the previous report from the hidden guard, Mu Xiyao had never learned riding skills, and she knew nothing about polo. At this time, she deserves to be loud, but why?
With many "unexpected surprises" before, His Highness the Sixth Highness has a little understanding of Mu Xiyao's behavior. It should be clean and tidy to let her do this, and it shouldn't be a disadvantage.
They found her concubine sister in the crowd, and saw that woman's face was pale, and Zong Zhenglin's eyes became darker. Mu Xiting was so frightened and frightened, it was consistent with the secret guard's report. If Mu Xiyao passed this hurdle safely today, what happened behind it... will be intriguing.
When Zong Zhenghan borrowed the maid to pour tea, he looked back at the expression on Helian Weirui's face, and saw that although she was a little surprised, her eyes were still calm and composed, so he waited playfully for Mu's next response.
A few days ago, Helian Wei Rui visited him in his study and told him that he wanted to help Zong Zhengying secretly, and that the opportunity had been found, and it couldn't be more rare. According to Helian Weirui's words, Mu Xiyao and Qi Yi have never been in contact with each other, so it is absolutely difficult to escape.
To be on the safe side, Zong Zhenghan sent people to Qingzhou to seek evidence. Within two days, the news sent back from there was exactly the same as what Helian Weirui had said. In this way, Zong Zhenghan promised Helian Weirui to let her act freely. In addition to removing all obstacles for her, she also secretly sent guards to pass messages to Zong Zhengying many times.
Now that I heard that Mu Xiyao gave a quick answer, it is absolutely impossible to say that she was not shocked.
"It's so good, let's go, and prepare quickly." Emperor Yuan Cheng was very satisfied with her affirmative answer. Women's polo was a big hit in the past, but if you want to talk about it, there really isn't one. I don't know if Mrs. Mu added it, would there be something new?
Seeing Mu Xiyao's resignation, Zong Zhengying's previously tense face gradually eased. Want to slap a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, can't you treat everyone as a fool? Whether you have real skills or not, you will know after a while.
In the curtain, last time it was Mu Xiyao who waited on Zong Zhenglin to change his clothes, but now the two of them have switched, it's her who is busy tidying up, and His Royal Highness... Occasionally helping each other, most of the time taking advantage.
"Your Highness," Mu Xiyao helplessly pushed away his dishonest palm, and stomped her feet coquettishly, "I'm going to hurry up, it's a crime to be late."
What I hate the most is that there are too many rules and regulations outside, which are annoying, and it is a serious crime to behead. In Zongzhenglin's residence, because of the arrogance of her family's man, she doesn't decide everything with one word, she is very casual.
Being dodged and pushed by Mu Xiyao, Zong Zhenglin looked impatient.
Clutching the back of her head, and lifting Mu Xiyao's small and delicate chin, Zong Zhenglin said softly, "You don't want to be subdued?" With a high-pitched ending, Mu Xiyao, who was familiar with his temper, suddenly trembled.
"There's no need for that." Mu Xiyao hugged the man's waist, and Mu Xiyao acted like a baby and glued her body to him.
Tricks that worked well on weekdays are now ineffective.
"Jiaojiao," Mu Xiyao raised her head when she heard the sound, and could only see Zong Zhenglin's cold and hard jaw, and the cyan stubble slightly protruding from her head. "It doesn't matter if you are brave or hard-spoken. Only one, if this delicate skin and tender flesh is injured, from now on, without the permission of the hall, you are not allowed to step out of the house."
This time I don't ask her the reason, but I need to explain the consequences to her clearly.
Mu Xiyao nodded again and again, according to her plan, deal with it casually, how can she hurt herself. What's more, she didn't intend to ride a donkey.
When Mu Xiyao appeared in front of the imperial court again, even Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't realize that his eyes lit up. This woman only changed her attire, but her temperament was completely different.
Wearing a garnet red tight-fitting riding suit, wearing long boots, her hair was loosely tied into a few small braids, and she was so pretty on her chest. Unlike the other women, she actually wore a black vest with gold trim, and a felt hat with colorful beads and tassels embedded on her head.
Mu Xiyao had a small face without makeup, white and shiny, dressed like this, her whole body was as gorgeous as peaches and plums, with a sassy look in her bright beauty.
"Very good. You have a beautiful daughter, but also capable. I'm looking forward to seeing you perform well." Emperor Yuan Cheng nodded, and told Gu Changde to pass the order.
Holding the stick, Mu Xiyao walked up to the donkey that Wu Yunv had ridden before, walked around the donkey at a leisurely pace, and finally gestured left and right with the ball stick. It was obvious to others that she didn't know how to do it.
"Eh? Concubine Mu Fang doesn't know how to get up?" Princess Chaoyang sat on the back of a donkey and looked down, the sarcasm in her words was obvious.
This Mrs. Mu is so disgusting, with a flirtatious face flaunting around the market, and at this moment he is still pretending to take Qiao. Since she appeared, I don't know how many men's hearts and souls have been hooked. To say something disrespectful, even the emperor showed appreciation in his eyes. No wonder Zong Zhengying didn't want to see her so much.
Disgusted by looking at the dull bastard in front of her, Mu Xiyao frowned and took half a step back. I feel suffocated if I stay for a while.
Zong Zhenglin saw her awkward expression in his eyes, and a smile gradually appeared in his phoenix eyes. No matter how loudly she yelled, she was still a coquettish girl who took "Peugeot" more seriously. Allow her to be fussy, just apologize for her and leave later.
Seeing that Mrs. Mu has not come up for a long time, and the movement of holding the stick is extremely unfamiliar, everyone whispered, could it be that the answer was just to bite the bullet and please the emperor?
Zong Zhengying was full of smiles, riding on a donkey and condescending, waiting for Mu Xiyao to be questioned by the imperial court.
