Chapter 445 Fighting for the Front
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is ill, don't the concubines and others need to visit?" This was the second time this matter was mentioned in front of Zong Zhenglin. As expected, the man was still indifferent, holding her waist in silence.
The long and deep arms knotted the collar button for him, and then tidied up the sachet at his waist. It contained Fang Sheng, which she folded with her own hands in the early years. The bright color had long since faded, but he was told to keep it with him all the time. Thinking about it, he felt a little hot on his face.
Seeing her with her head buried and distracted while stroking her purse, Zong Zhenglin raised his eyebrows and leaned over to her ear. The man's voice was soft and teasing. "I haven't left yet, why did Jiaojiao start thinking about it?"
Biting her jade white ear pearl, the beauty of Emperor Jian'an is pregnant with beauty. "Come back later today, obediently raise Rong Hui for me in the palace. Be careful, don't make her cry. Huh?" There is a sharp heart that makes him worry about it.
This man...Jiaochen raised his foot, just landed on him and gently crushed it on the boot.
Mr. Boss, you are so eccentric. No wonder it made his son jealous.
Eunuch Gu stood at the gate of the hall, and he was watching your master send someone out. How come they are hugging each other again in a blink of an eye, it's like sweet honey... At this time, I can only lower my eyebrows and close my eyes, pretending not to see it.
From the corner of the eye, he caught a sudden glimpse of mandarin duck satin-covered embroidered shoes stepping on Long Live Lord's apricot-yellow dragon-patterned court boots. Eunuch Gu's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Hello, your master, you flirt, you dare to step on the dragon's feet, the master doesn't blame you, but the slave is terrified.
Clutching her arm to calm people down, taking a panoramic view of the little woman's delicate posture, Emperor Jian'an was pleased with it, and his face was still tense, struggling to maintain the emperor's majesty. "There are no rules."
Turning around, she took Rong Hui from the arms of Nanny Zhao who was waiting by the side, hugged the little daughter, stroked her black and shiny hair, and caressed her tender and smooth little face very lovingly.
It really looks like her.
Zhengzi Ronghui looks good, but the milk doll she was holding turned her head and sucked her fingertips in one mouthful, sucking loudly.
This... the emperor froze, embarrassed.
"I'm afraid I'm hungry, so let the concubine hold her. After I send you out, go back and feed her." She stuffed her brocade handkerchief for him, and relieved him. Mu Xiyao sent him off respectfully with her daughter in her arms.
On the imperial chariot, Zong Zhenglin wiped his fingers and wrapped the silk handkerchief she gave her into his sleeve pocket. When he raised his head again, the man's phoenix eyes were fixed, and there was no trace of his soft color just now.
The king invites you...
"Look, master, it would be nice if you could send some aged medicinal materials to Chang Ning Palace. At least you've got your heart, and others have nothing to say."
After Rong Hui was fed, the little guy squinted his eyes and lost his strength, and was nodding his head in a drowsy state. Zhao mama hugged the little princess and patted her vest to digest, still thinking about the queen mother.
"Forget it, it's not that only one person in the palace can't see the face of the queen mother. Concubine Li and princess Weiyang are kept out of the door as usual. Since the emperor said not to disturb the queen mother's rest, everything can be done according to orders." The mother and son don't know Mu Xiyao hadn't figured out why there was another conflict.
"Tell the small kitchen to add more side dishes in the evening. Lord Long Live hunted with His Royal Highness Jing Wang in the suburbs of Beijing today, and he must be able to find wild game. I haven't tasted something new for a long time, and today I am blessed. Chengqing Chengyou left school Just happened to catch up."
When it comes to food, the imperial concubine's eyes are radiant. Seeing that the master left Chang Ning Palace behind in a blink of an eye, and looked very lively again, she also felt relieved.
That's right, with the protection of Long Live God, your master will be blessed with many children, and you will not have to worry about food and drink, so you don't have to worry about other things.
The Yuxiu palace is harmonious and harmonious, it is rare for Mu Yaonv to be obedient and she is devoted to taking care of Rong Hui in the palace. However, she didn't pick things up, and things still came to her.
"The Empress Dowager summons?" After sending Nanny Chen out, Mu Xiyao put down the scroll in her hand and frowned.
Zong Zhenglin left the palace just now, and the Empress Dowager is still ill. Even Princess Weiyang, who is the most "wait to see", stopped outside the palace, and now she just called her to wait in front of her... This scene is so familiar!
After a closer look, it was more than half an hour before noon. Mother Zhao had a troubled expression on her face, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Walking slowly to the dowry, she sat down and called Hui Lan to comb her hair again. Mu Xiyao's fingertips ran across the many jewelry collected on the dressing table, deep thoughts were hidden in her clear eyes.
He stroked his hair on the temples, and picked out the white jade glass hairpin that he gave him not long ago. It is carved with magnolia and inlaid with emeralds. Simple and luxurious, the value is not cheap.
Some things cannot be avoided in the end. It's okay if he's not here. Rather than being disturbed in the next three to five days, why not open it today and say it.
Respect the king...the queen mother is not indifferent.
"Ma'am, do you want the pink stand-up collar for the dress, or the newly made fragrant double-breasted embroidered shirt?" Holding her master's favorite palace dress, Ruo Lan thought about whether the dress should be paired with something more generous and plain. Color is good.
Seeing through the bronze mirror that Rong Hui was already fast asleep on Zhao Nanny's shoulder, Mu Xiyao raised her brows and spoke calmly with her elbows propped on her. "Preparing the auspicious clothes, since it is clearly said to invite the noble concubine to serve the sick, so I asked everyone in the harem to look at it. This palace is going to Changning Palace - to show filial piety."
King Jing's mansion was supposed to personally welcome the accompanying person outside Chengqian Gate, but now Wei Zhen blocked the entrance of the front yard and refused to let him out of the mansion.
"Master Wei, what is the meaning of this? Didn't you hear that today the king and the emperor have made an agreement that they need to go hunting in the suburbs of Beijing." Zongzheng Yun said hesitantly. What is the face of the prince when he is stopped by a guard.
"Forgive me for your offense, please wait a moment, my lord." Wei Zhen led the emperor's order, and even this soldier was facing each other, and he would not allow him to retreat half a step.
Concubine Jing saw that the two sides were at war, and was about to step forward to persuade her. Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a glimpse of a man striding ahead, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown, with a dignified expression.
"Emperor, Your Majesty?" His face turned pale with shock, the royal driver came in person, but no one communicated?
Wei Zhen turned around and saw that the Lord Long Live had arrived, and hurriedly stepped aside, bowing his head respectfully. King Jing just met the oncoming man, but he saw the pair of deep and dark phoenix eyes on his stern face, which had complicated and unspeakable meanings. As soon as we meet each other, we know that things have changed today. Sighing deeply, King Jing spread his hands, and instantly looked like a rascal.
Empress Mother, even if you tell me what to say, even though my son-in-law tried his best, he still saw through the trick. If I can't do enough, then I'm afraid he will have to blame him.
Emperor Jian'an had a calm and handsome face, and with a glance of his eyes, he asked King Jing to laugh a few times, and obediently followed behind to the study.
Princess Jing shook her head helplessly. Seeing now, I can't guess that what the empress dowager asked the prince to do before, now provokes the anger of the long live Lord.
The emperor just had that expression on her face, but she just glanced at it secretly, and felt very cold and frightening. Being able to make this quarrel with the empress dowager unhappy... In the harem, she is the only one who has this ability.
Seeing that the emperor came to the palace quietly today, it is clear that he does not want to make this matter a big deal. Calm things down, most of them still care about her reputation. To be favored by the emperor like this, to say that he is not envious, is really against his will.
In the Changning Palace, Mu Xiyao, who was dressed in an imperial concubine's auspicious attire, was smiling and her watery eyes were shining brightly.
Zhao mama's palms were wet with sweat, seeing the smile on your master's lips, she shuddered inexplicably. It's over, what the queen mother said just now, I'm afraid it will make this person very angry.
Sure enough, everyone listened to the imperial concubine's soft voice, leaning slightly, as if consciously impolite, asking again.
"Old Ancestor, you just said that you want to advise Weiyang County Master about the marriage, who is the match, the concubine has not heard clearly." If she is not still concerned about her identity, Mu Yaonv can't wait to throw the table and walk away at this moment.
This is to deceive her that she is now "unable to support herself", and wants to cut through the mess quickly, so she is willing to make this marriage?
After all, after decades of ups and downs in the palace, the Empress Dowager's eyes were sharp and she would not give in at all. "You don't need to worry about it. The Ai family called you here today, just to say hello in advance. After a while, the eunuch will pass on the Ai family's decree to the Mu residence to give you a marriage."
"Wei Young is a good person. By pointing out your elder brother as the main wife, this is to raise the face of your Mu family. The woman who just passed through the door before, giving her the status of an equal wife is not an insult to her."
Their eyes met, and the smile on Mu Xiyao's lips gradually faded away.
So it is! Should have thought of it earlier. The Royal Study Room was not clean either.
Suffering from the cold and fever... really timely. Now, the Empress Dowager is venting her anger and taking revenge. Knowing that Weiyang has no hope of entering the palace, she plots to disgust her family of the Mu family.
That kind of scheming woman who has feelings for Zong Zhenglin, in the eyes of outsiders, was pulled down by her, Mu Xiyao. With deep resentment in her heart, she really made her marry Mu Jinzhi as his wife. It is conceivable that there will never be peace in the Mu family!
So vicious.
Thinking of her, Mu Jin is the only one who has to spread the incense in the Mu family. If that Wei Young acts as a hindrance, the son-in-law will have no hope, and even the concubine and aunt will never want to keep a son and a half daughter. Is this to call off the Mu family?
My heart was burning up, and I finally saw the sinister face of this harem woman.
Seeing Mu's smile no longer, the Empress Dowager was very happy. The bitch, hugging her son, monopolizing the favor. Let her taste the bitter fruit today.
Nanny Chen took a sip of tea, the queen mother wiped the corners of her mouth, and explained to her kindly. "A good thing is approaching, the courtesy of the Ai family is absolutely not light. There is no need for you to serve here. The imperial concubine will go back earlier, and Madam Mu will come to the palace tomorrow to tell you the good news. The family is happy."
Lele? I'm afraid you wish that Mu's mansion would be disturbed.
Suppressing her anger, Mu Xiyao glanced at the fragrant tea on hand. He raised his hand to pick up the teacup, as if he didn't hear the embarrassing meaning in the Queen Mother's words, he just quietly sipped the tea, with a cold light in his lowered eyes.
Being coaxed by that man to "don't mess around" and "be obedient", does this mean that she has restrained her temper and can't be bullied?
Zhao mama was terrified, she was afraid that the master would get angry and ignore her by slapping the table to contradict her. Lord Long Live is not in the palace, and the Queen Mother gave an order, and there are plenty of ways to punish him.
I really complied with the sentence that I am afraid of what will happen.
The slight difference is that everyone only heard the imperial concubine smile and asked the maid to refill the tea, but they took the time to raise their eyes, and quickly lowered their heads and pinched the lid again, skimming the tea very elegantly.
The next sentence made everyone dizzy and almost untenable.
"The old ancestor's kindness, the concubine appreciates it. But this marriage, I am sorry that the concubine cannot accept it. If you can't agree, it will be fine for you to make an edict later, or consider sending your family off."
Mu Yaonv was bullied on the head, and her claws, which had been restrained for a long time, were finally exposed to people with a cold light.
