The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 286

[286. Chapter 286 Tricks]

The bachelor’s banquet passed slowly for three days, during which a lot of talents emerged. Mu Xiyao didn’t stand out again, but she was so calm that Zong Zhenglin raised his brows.

“Are you going to observe the ‘Monastery of the Four Proverbs’ again today?” Zong Zhenglin stood behind her, stretched his hand over his shoulder, took a random piece of rice paper from the random spread on the desk, tasted it for a long time, and nodded in approval, ” It ‘s still good.” Mu Xiyao put the pen on the lake, looked back at him and smiled sweetly, “Looking at the calligraphy of the sages, it is quite rewarding. Your Highness

, is your concubine in a good mood?”

If you show off, you will grow faster.” Whenever she gets a compliment, the woman’s first reaction is definitely not humility.

Unwilling to pursed his lips, for a moment he was smiling again.

“The concubine will inscribe a calligraphy later, and mount it to hang it in your study. Every time I practice, I will definitely compare it to see if there is any improvement . Your Highness, do you think it’s good?” Your Highness, you have made a joke of a concubine, and the concubine is too lazy to care about the face. Just waiting for your staff to go and see, in the study room of the Sixth Highness dealing with political affairs, there is a handwritten letter by the deputy woman.

Zong Zhenglin stroked her long hair without realizing it, put the rice paper down, and didn’t mention the framed characters at all. Without changing his face, he just hugged someone out of the study and went into the main room. “Early resettlement.”

Mu Xiyao smiled and leaned on his shoulder, looking at the rice paper left on the desk, her eyes gradually darkened. Sure enough, she sent someone to watch her, otherwise, this man would not come to the study at this time. Fortunately, she was alert and took precautions earlier. At this time, it was only superficial, and it was a little cover up.

Zong Zhenglin should be protecting her…

Mu Xiyao slowly closed his eyes and put his arms around his neck obediently. This man knew that she had other plans, but he let her go out of the house without a word… If he didn’t show any emotion, he couldn’t do it.

Sensing that the woman on her body softened and faintly showed dependence, Zong Zhenglin’s eyes brightened. His face was a little cold, and his heart was extremely contradictory.

Mu Xiyao, even though she worked so hard to plan, was unwilling to give up. In the end, why did she support her so much more than he did, and she decided to stop here.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the night passed without incident.

The bachelor’s banquet progressed to the fourth day, and the competition ended. After the fierce competition, a total of seven people won at least two or more top three rankings and were admitted to the Hanlin. Among them, Mu Xiyao was most embarrassed, but it was one of her “ceremonies”, which was really lacking. Dawei’s ritual system is complicated, and this woman has never taken her heart seriously. During the exam, she just peeked at the person next door and wrote the comments, followed the gourd and painted the scoop, and got confused.

Zong Zhenglin paid attention to her from time to time, and knew where she was wrong. I thought she would be extremely irresponsible, and sketched a few strokes at will, but accidentally caught her and even cheated her comments.

This woman! In the past, I only knew that candidates cheated in the examination room, but today it is an eye-opener. His Royal Highness touched his forehead and sighed, no more optimistic about Mu Xiyao’s deliberation duties.

At the end of the meeting, the bachelor’s banquet hall was moved to Shengjing Qishan Academy to congratulate all scholars. The classmates don’t need to say, they are enjoying the wine and playing drums to celebrate. Even among the academy students, they also took the opportunity to walk around and get to know each other, laying the foundation for later careers and careers. What surprised the scholars the most was the banquet at the Qishan Academy. The two His Royal Highnesses and their subordinate ministers and officials would all come at that time. Such a good opportunity, no one will take it lightly.

As for the “Flower Seizing Order” for the female students of the Poetry Society in the next two days, it is more like a play in the garden. However, it shows the prosperous literary style of the Wei Dynasty, and the women of the aristocratic family are also talented and virtuous, and they have a good reputation. With the addition of a lady from the Jiao Di Di family, the young students behave more cautiously and politely.

The warm sunshine in spring is the most gratifying. On the day of the banquet, the god of heaven was beautiful, and in the early spring garden, everyone sat across the canal, and the scholars and beauties were separated. Five or six people gathered together, it was very lively.

The poor men were full of ambition, and they were looking for a way at this time. The upper class and the powerful did not always meet. And those women with fancy dress, reserved faces, may not have no desire to cling to.

Mu Xiyao was very interested, and glanced at her highness from a distance, her eyes swept repeatedly on both sides of the river. It is clear that His Royal Highness has a better demeanor and a gentleman, but he is not as good as Zong Zhenglin’s cold face.

From this point of view, Dawei women are even more fond of men’s masculine beauty.

Being admired and peeped by so many boudoir women, Zong Zhenglin’s expression was not worried. Except for Zong Zhengming next to him, he rarely looked at anyone with a good face. There was something in my heart, and when I was disturbed by the surroundings, I slowly felt a coldness in my body.

Mu Xiyao took a sip of the fruit wine, feeling overjoyed. Yes, this master is picky, and is not a woman who is angry with rouge gouache.

Most of the girls in the female feast were Huai Chun, eagerly looking forward to the young ladies of the noble family who could attract his attention. Naturally, I worked hard and dressed up well. Although due to the rules, they covered their faces with gauze, but their eyes and eyebrows were all beautifully drawn. It’s a pity that it was self-defeating and happened to meet this incomprehensible person. As a result, I was afraid that it would only make him more annoying.

Thinking about the fact that every time the mansion and his concubines and concubines and his concubines had a meal together, Zong Zhenglin was always very cold. I don’t know how many women there are here, and it’s strange that he has a good face.

She was using the wine cup to cover it up, her eyes lowered and she secretly laughed, but Mo Lan reluctantly said something behind her to wake her up. “Master, Your Highness seems to be looking at this place.”

Mu Xiyao choked on the fruit wine in her throat, quickly covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and turned her body to cough repeatedly. The wine cup in her hand was unstable, and a few drops of jade dew splashed on the hem of her clothes, and Mo Lan quickly stepped forward to wipe it for her.

If you want to stare at people so urgently and watch over her like this, even if she is really restless, she will feel uncomfortable. Mu Xiyao turned her head resentfully, and glanced at him coquettishly.

Zong Zhenglin’s expression was unpredictable. Since he just received the news from the Dark Guard, the depths of his eyes were already cold. Just as he was about to make a move, a few people spoke not far away, but it immediately caused his anger to rise sharply.

“Who is that girl in pink, who just gave that one look, why did she look like she was looking at me here?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. It will ruin the reputation of the girl’s family for nothing.”

“Brother Tian, you are a pity. That jade man, but I don’t know how many eyes are paying attention. Even if he covers the face towel, only his eyes are exposed, and just by looking at the outline, he must be a beauty.”

“It’s still big brother’s eyes. My brother, I only care about being fascinated by her figure. Now, when I hear you say, I feel that those eyes seem to contain love words, which makes my heart feel numb and itchy.”

Before the banquet Mu Xiyao changed her clothes. The bun that was rolled up high was loosened, and the simplest schoolgirl dress was done. Without the calm and quiet in the examination room, she is much more lively and pretty. The young women gathered in one place, unless they were very familiar with her, how could it be recognized that the woman in front of them was the mysterious wooden fish who had been on the high platform for more than four days.

At this moment, when the talented and beautiful met, the reverie increased.

Zong Zhenglin’s eyes were dark, and he glanced coldly at the few people who were constantly looking at Mu Xiyao, and turned back to signal Wei Zhenzi to deal with it, even the identity of the other party was too lazy to ask.

Seeing that Mu Xiyao was about to leave the table while supporting Mo Lan, Zong Zhenglin’s face was sinking, he stood up suddenly, and strode across the jade bridge to reach her.

Without further ado, Zong Zhenglin raised his hand to remove the cloak, and covered her head with her.

After all, I have to take this step… If I let her go at this time, I am afraid that this woman will give him a good show later.

“Go back to the house.” Regardless of Mu Xiyao’s small hands fiddling out from the neckline, Zong Zhenglin raised the person with a stern face. It was extremely rude. He just half hugged her and locked half of her body, no need to explain to others. , his footwork was steady, and he took people away from the banquet in an instant.

What happened after the banquet, Mu Xiyao didn’t care. At this time, I was only very anxious, and my heart became more and more heavy.

“His Royal Highness! Why did you suddenly get angry? Even if you want to leave, you should ask your concubine to clean up.” The bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger, Mu Xiyao reluctantly smiled, complaining and testing his words.

“Jiaojiao.” Zong Zhenglin flexed his index finger and raised her chin, his eyes were all gloomy. He restrained her, looked at her for a long time, and then suddenly hummed and laughed out loud. “Clean up? I’ll show up later, this hall won’t dare to recognize anyone.” His thumb stroked her bloodshot lips, and Zong Zhenglin pinched her chin with such force that even his knuckles turned white.

Mu Xiyao’s eyes trembled, and when she looked closely, the man in front of him leaned over to look at her with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were full of sternness.

“Why, there’s nothing to say? I’ve left you to do things for a long time in this hall. If Jiaojiao doesn’t explain it, she will obediently reveal it when she sees someone. It’s not bad.” Ruthless but the words are clear.

Mu Xiyao’s pupils shrank suddenly, and the last trace of luck disappeared. Shen Ning stared at him, and after a long time, he finally understood that Zong Zhenglin had a solid victory in this match. And she’s at risk…

“When did Your Highness know? Is it Mr. or Wei Zhen?” Mu Xiyao lowered her eyes in frustration, only to feel exhausted.

She clearly avoided all his eyes and ears, so why was he still seeing through the mystery. Yu Zongzhenglin’s great cause helped a lot, why did the fifth dynasty break the covenant and turn to him to tell the truth.

Zong Zhenglin’s eyes were icy cold as he looked down at the woman who revealed her true form, and the anger in his chest could hardly be suppressed.

Mu Xiyao, what a Mu Xiyao! He put eight points of trust in her, almost thinking that she did the same to him. To this day, Zong Zhenglin just saw clearly that this woman was secretly sending Chunyuyao away from Beijing without telling her that she was dressed exactly like her, and she didn’t even have time to change her clothes!

“Who is the other party?” He asked directly past her, and Zong Zhenglin’s handsome face got closer. The man’s hot breath hit her face, Mu Xiyao closed her eyes and dodged slightly.

“Jiaojiao, who gave you the courage not to answer when this hall asked you a question?” Zong Zhenglin stroked her auricle and licked her tongue lightly. “Who is the man who attracted Jiaojiao to meet privately these days, eh?”

Mu Xiyao shuddered, frowning. Zong Zhenglin bit her earlobe softly, the strength was not obvious, but it showed the blood of choosing someone to bite.

After a long stalemate, Mu Xiyao slowly opened his eyes when he felt a tingling in his ears, and his eyes were clear and clean.

“If the concubine confessed everything, His Highness may have sent that person away?”

Without his reply, she turned her eyes away, took a deep breath, stared at the sky blue curtain in front of the car, a little cold, and said slowly.

“I want to come to Your Highness and now I understand that there have been half an hour in the deliberation table these days. Muyu is not a concubine. I underestimated His Highness, but it is not a concubine.” He laughed at himself, extremely helpless.

Deliberately drawn the eyeliner and pulled the corners of the eyes longer. Through a letter, she revealed a little of her habit to Chunyuyao. I thought that the Confucius Building was separated from her, and she had found someone who was most similar to her to replace her for a while, so Zong Zhenglin wouldn’t notice. Now it seems that she is whimsical.

“Understood?” Zong Zhenglin sneered, shook off her chin, stepped back, and sat down opposite her leisurely. “Do you know why?”

Mu Xiyao bowed her head and said nothing, for no reason she felt that this topic was extremely dangerous.

Sure enough, after Zong Zhenglin’s words pierced into her heart, Mu Xiyao felt her heart tighten and she was speechless.

“The admiration in her eyes, how can you ever have it?”
