Chapter 338 Arrival

It has been two days since I arrived in Dexi City. Wan Jingwen was very anxious, why didn't His Highness go back to the city to recuperate, but stayed in Moganling, her life was already a major issue, what was more important, without His Highness's warrant, how could she enter the army? According to the order of Concubine Shu, she can only be treated courteously by officials in Xicheng, but this order has no effect at all in front of the West Road army.

In the past two days, she and Mrs. Zhang rested at the posthouse in the city. Originally, I sent someone to the official residence of Lin Nu to ask if she could stay for a few days and leave later, but that woman was very rebellious, and she didn't show any affection at all, so she refused their request on the pretext of being ill. Forcibly told them to be careful and avoid this place where strangers come and go.

The magistrate of Xicheng saw that His Royal Highness and the two women were not getting along well, so he changed his mind and hurriedly brought people down to inspect. I'm afraid that the two concubines from the capital will make trouble for him by virtue of their status. Who is Mrs. Lin? The only woman who accompanied His Highness along the way. Although Mrs. Hibiscus emerged from Xicheng and won His Highness's favor, but Lady Lin's house was protected like an iron barrel by His Highness. Just looking at the interior and exterior layout, one could tell that she was also favored.

I can't afford to offend the two, the magistrate made such a plan, asked the newly appointed magistrate to settle him in the post house, and provided him with delicious food and drinks, and selected the best offerings for everything. He also personally wrote a letter and sent it to the barracks on a fast horse, waiting for His Royal Highness to give him a clear message, so he could go back to the city early, and have a good night's rest on the hot kang head with his family's Meiji in his arms.

Zhu Jin received Wan Jingwen's instructions, and went down to find the steward of the post house and said that he wanted to change to a decent place to live, but every time he got a response, it was that the magistrate was not available, and the magistrate was unable to decide.

Without His Royal Highness's order, who would dare to settle the woman in his backyard privately? Knowing that those two nobles were interested in the mansion in the east of the city, but that place, not to mention that the judge didn't have the guts to touch it, even if he had the guts, he wouldn't want to be with a woman who just came here for two days and openly burned two bamboo baskets. make life difficult for. Just by looking at that person's behavior, you can tell that he is a ruthless person. For the concubine who is famous and not favored in Shengjing City, to face off with the concubine whom His Highness clearly favors, this stupid thing is worthless.

Mrs. Zhang never had her own opinion, and discussed everything with Wan Jingwen. I had a lot of free time during the day, and felt uneasy in a strange place, so I simply had a good temper and told her to live under the same roof. They are all His Highness's women, there are two beds in one room, and it is not easy for others to gossip.

Wan Jingwen was already very uncomfortable with the ignorant ignorance of the screwer outside, and Zhang's stubbornness stuck to her face and insisted on it, and her mouth was full of reasons that she could not refute, no matter how angry she was, she would not I had no choice but to follow the usual honesty in Shengjing, gritted my teeth and agreed to Mrs. Zhang's entreaty.

So Zhu Jin inquired about the news outside, and Mrs. Zhang listened to the general idea.

After the girl lowered her head and spoke until her throat was a little hoarse, she gave an overview of His Highness's stay in Xicheng for more than half a year. After talking for a long time, most of the insiders were involved with women, which made Wan Jingwen and Zhang Shi dumbfounded at the same time.

Mrs. Zhang is an honest person, all she thought was that His Highness should be as dignified as Sheng Jingli. How did he know that he changed the place, he seemed to be a different person, why did he become so romantic all of a sudden?

What worries me even more is that His Highness has hired more than one woman behind his concubine's back.

Wan Jingwen was so annoyed that her forehead throbbed. No wonder the woman in the east of the city rejected their request. It turned out that the bullshit female official was not arrogant, but climbed into His Highness's bed early and became a woman outside Zong Zhenglin! Didn't she and Mrs. Zhang send people to her door so politely before that, didn't she just humiliate herself and be trampled on by these lowly people?

Just annoyed at being humiliated, she heard Mrs. Zhang who was sitting next to her ask cautiously, "Sister, look, what should I do now?"

How to be good, how to be good! Apart from these words, as stupid as Mrs. Zhang, I can't think of anything useful! Turning her head to see her sad face, as if the sky was about to collapse, this unlucky appearance made her heart ache just looking at it.

Wan Jingwen is in a hurry now, not because she is worried that His Highness will stay here forever. No matter how you say it, the two of them traveled thousands of miles, and they were ordered by Concubine Shu to serve the sick. If His Highness doesn't want to see them any more, Concubine Shu's face should always be taken into consideration. She was just anxious to get to His Highness earlier, and the more dangerous the matter of waiting for illness was, the more difficult it would be to erase the affection she earned.

Didn't hear Zhu Jin's reply, that bitch has been by His Highness's side for more than half a month, getting along so much day and night, no matter how late, what can she do with Concubine Wan Shu!

The two concubines from Beijing were in a hurry, and in the Moganling commander's camp, Mu Xiyao held a small wooden mallet and smashed open a walnut very skillfully.

Knowing that the old man would arrive soon, Huilan and Nanny were left in the city to take care of the two younger ones. The guards were handed over to Wei Zhen. Naren Saren followed Mrs. Lin, let alone appear here. This is good, there is no one available, and everything has to be done by myself. Others don't know the twists and turns, but they only know that for many days, Madam has been doing everything by herself and taking good care of His Highness's daily life. At first, there was disrespect, but gradually it faded away.

The fingers like green onion and white jade look very delicate, but after a few minutes of hard work, they peeled off the walnut kernels, and fed half of them in their mouths, smacking their mouths to eat with eyebrows and eyes crooked, and the remaining half, lightly With a light throw, it landed on the white jade disk at hand.

Then he pulled a pick from the plate and was about to break it, but was stopped in a low voice by the man reviewing the official documents through a screen. "Jiaojiao, the portion is enough."

"The concubine has eaten ten of them?" Buxin muttered and stretched out his fingers to scratch a head in his porcelain plate. Sure enough, there was no more, no less, and he really hit the mark.

Boss, are you doing serious business, or are you eavesdropping on my concubine smashing walnuts? Even the screen can't block you, is this skill so enviable?

"Your Highness, is someone going to come in later?"

After a little pause in writing, Zong Zhenglin raised his lowered eyebrows unconsciously. "Just come out." So what if someone calls, just wait outside.

Putting down the small wooden hammer, he lifted the hem of the skirt and went around to the front.

He clearly heard her footsteps approaching, but he didn't say anything for a long time. When Zong Zhenglin raised his eyes, he saw the woman holding a porcelain plate and smiling at him.

"What are you doing in a daze, come here." She patted her knee with her empty left hand, Mu Xiyao's eyes flashed, and she took a few steps to snuggle into his arms.

Carefully avoiding his right hand holding the pen, he twirled a piece of peach kernel, and didn't say a word to disturb his serious business, just being so obedient, occasionally put a piece of food into the man's mouth, saw him chew it up and swallowed it, then passed it to the man again. The lips of His Highness Sixth. As usual, the two get along very well. Such a rare scene of harmony, apart from Zong Zhenglin who has few confidantes, it is difficult for others to see the gentle appearance of His Highness the Sixth Highness.

The ten petals of walnut kernels were fed clean, and it happened that Zong Zhenglin also finished processing the official documents and closed the file. Mu Xiyao brought the tea bowl to him, but the man didn't bother to lift his hand, so he just waited on her, and after eating half a cup of this year's new scented tea, his pair of phoenix eyes stared at her from beginning to end. Mu Xiyao was slightly embarrassed by her focused eyes.

Withdrawing the wrist holding the tea, she was about to leave him to clean up the dishes, but Zong Zhenglin stopped her and grabbed her. If she hadn't snatched the tea from her earlier, both of them should have been splashed with tea at this moment. It is dirty.

"On the case, someone will clean it up."

Of course she knew that someone would take care of her. Mr. Boss loved her so much that he couldn't bear to put her in cold water. She just felt that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to avoid it earlier.

"I'm going to tidy up the back, but you won't let it go." The voice was so delicate and pretty, it sounded in the ears of His Highness the Sixth Prince, it seemed like she was willing to leave.

A smile trembled in her throat, lifting her up two points. "Want to leave before finishing serving?" Wei Wei raised his chin, indicating that she hadn't wiped the corners of his lips with a brocade handkerchief.

He blamed him with a wink, and pulled out the silk handkerchief from the front of his skirt, and was about to greet Zong Zhenglin's face. Before the hand touched anyone, he was grasped by his wrist almost halfway, and looked at her with a half-smile, and then his lips were blocked.

"It's better than a silk handkerchief." Man Yi commented, and she knew that she would be restless. If the little paw hadn't been caught by him, he didn't know how to behave presumptuously on his face right now.

As he was secretly competing with the little girl, Zong Zhenglin wished that she would be dishonest and jump under his nose. It's rare to find an excuse to take advantage of it, but the interest is interrupted by Ye Kai's voice outside.

Panting for breath, Jiaojiao pushed him away, Mu Xiyao wiped her mouth herself, the luster was gone, but it was a pity that her blushing face was full of shame and heat.

Seeing her pink face and peach cheeks, Zong Zhenglin straightened his face and arranged the veil for her, not to guard against Ye Kai, but because he didn't want to be seen by others as a seductive little fairy. The cheeks are also covered, but the eyeballs exposed outside are watery and foggy, and they are in a daze, shyly facing him, which is not easy to cover up.

Squinting at her, he simply hugged her sideways and pressed her in his arms, with his back to the curtain, no one could see the strange color on Mu Xiyao's face.

Almost bumping his nose, Mu Xiyao poked his chest angrily. The moment Ye Kai lifted the curtain, the woman immediately softened and fell on his shoulder very docilely. The change was so fast that Zong Zhenglin glanced at her teasingly.

This is the case again! Ye Kaixin complained bitterly, not daring to show it. Master Yao was born so noble here that he couldn't even sit on a brocade stool.

"Your Highness, the prefect sent a letter in his own hand."

Prefect? With her ears pricked up, Mu Xiyao regained her spirits instantly. With a roll of his eyes, what can Xicheng do to make him rush to disturb the "sick" Sixth Highness?

The small hands behind Zong Zhenglin's back flexed their fingers and calculated, it turned out that it was an old friend visiting. She is the head master who has been brought into the mansion with a betrothal gift. At this moment, those two people should rush over to serve His Highness the Sixth Highness, and by the way, dismiss her, a foxy widow who was raised outside.

Mrs. Zhang is timid and knows she can't bear children, so she will definitely not be able to play tricks. It was purely pointed out by Concubine Shu to make up the number. Only Wan's, Mu Xiyao's eyes seemed to open and close, with a hint of anticipation.

Far away from Shengjing, without a more prominent woman on her head, Wan Shi, will she let down her guard and reveal her true nature? Especially, the more annoying she is in front of Zong Zhenglin, blocking her eyes...
