The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 308
[308. Chapter 308 Tin City]
“It’s still a pity.” As the ship left the port, Mu Xiyao looked at the weeping willows on the embankment, reluctantly.
“Jiaojiao is almost allowed to play all over the city. Little things are insatiable.” Standing behind her, his palm rested on Mu Xiyao’s waist, the Sixth Highness disagreed.
“The concubine is saying that His Highness has sent an urgent report about entering Beijing.” Of course, it was a pity that the Twelve Bridges of Xitang were too late to visit. If it wasn’t for the delay in Jirentang on the first day, it would have been just the right time.
“I regret it now? Who asked me twice in a row the day before yesterday?” She strongly advocated that it was her who went directly to Sheng Ting, but it was a pity that the disclosure was too early. It was easy for the other party to withdraw.
“Hmph.” With a cold snort, the pink and tender face was full of unwillingness. “It’s cheap for them.” Instead of fighting with the latter two in vain at this time, it’s better to fight back Mobei quickly and take the title of prince firmly.
What’s more, Zong Zhenglin kept it in his heart, and when the man returned to Beijing, he would have time to clean them up.
Mu Xiyao turned around and leaned in front of him obediently. The calm waters in the distance suddenly swayed as the boat approached. The capital should also be dark and stormy, when all parties are planning… At
the palace of the Eighth Prince, Zong Zhenghan’s brown eyes are dark and cold.
“Your Highness, in this confrontation, you may not necessarily lose the Sixth Highness.” Helian Weirui put down the comb, stood up from the dressing table, and sat down on the brocade stool beside him. “Prince didn’t also dismiss Qin Li for investigation, but unfortunately he didn’t get rid of his roots before he left Beijing.”
“Zong Zhenglin stayed in the fifth court to respond to Shengjing, that person really lived up to his expectations. Qin Li was demoted. Letting go is the best result. It’s a pity that most of the blame for him is taken by You Zhan, so it can be seen that this person is also useful.”
“This can’t be done, it’s not because His Highness is incapable, but the Crown Prince is to blame. …” The unfinished words, the two of them knew very well. Helian Weirui kneaded his forehead for him, and the dark eyes flashed away.
“His Royal Highness, the concubine thinks that the war in Mobei is a major event for the country. All the princes should do their best. Although the fourth highness is born with ear problems, many things are inconvenient. But there are many political affairs in the rear, it should be able to help, right? Concubine yesterday Please come back, but I found out that the concubine Xian in the palace has been in bed for three consecutive days, and the newly divided Jieyu also has two people who are deeply favored by the emperor. In the palace of Concubine Shu, the emperor seems to have not set foot in the past seven days.”
Sixth Highness Since it is not easy to deal with the people around him, he will turn around and find people close to him. If he could distract him on the battlefield and commit a major taboo in the military, it would be a pleasant surprise. Now she can help, that is, tossing waves in the harem. On the other hand, it is necessary to count on Zong Zhenghan to make arrangements secretly.
In Jiangzi Xuan, Wan Jingwen had another plan.
The manpower in the palace was damaged too much before, and because Emperor Yuan Cheng let people out of the palace, the number of people who really needed to be used was only three or two. Don’t act rashly until it’s critical. The most urgent thing for her now is when the Sixth Highness needs to be served! And how could she get past Su Linrou and avoid Zhang shi to fight for this rare opportunity.
What makes her most delighted is that His Highness feels sorry for Mrs. Mu and her two sons, and actually sent them out for proper placement. Not only did he earn a good reputation for the Mu family, but he also sent the two little ones to their grandparents’ home to raise them with peace of mind. As a result, there is no one to serve by His Highness!
Wan Jingwen was extremely hopeful that the epidemic would come sooner, but she was afraid that the journey would be too long. With such a complicated mind, she only made her look a little more impetuous than usual.
Everyone in Shengjing was busy with their calculations. Only Mu Xiyao, with her maid, could not only stay by Zong Zhenglin’s side, but also do everything possible to win the favor of His Highness, and occasionally disembark for two days.
The group passed through Jinzhou and Yuzhou by boat, and then took the land road along the Yongzhou official road. Finally, they arrived at the northern border of the Great Wei Dynasty, the land of the three states, Xicheng, the capital of Jingzhou, more than two months after leaving Shengjing.
On the way, officials from all sides were ordered by Zong Zhenglin not to be extravagant, and they stayed for two days at most. This makes people who are deliberately clinging to show their good intentions to spend their time.
Mu Xiyao was the most happy, but someone with golden eyes and fiery eyes saw that His Royal Highness “valued Lady Lin very seriously”. She actually tried to get her way and paid tribute to the beautiful singer to the sixth highness.
At that time, she just ran to him to show her merit, and then said, “Mrs. Zhizhou means that she wants to send you a skinny beauty to serve you.” The second half of the sentence “The concubine is determined not to respond.” Before she said it, Zong Zhenglin’s face was sullen, and he glanced coldly. If he hadn’t followed, he was very determined and said what was in his mind, then the man might not know how to deal with her.
Even outside the city gate of Xicheng, Mu Xiyao could see from a distance that the construction of the city gate was very different from other state capitals. Different from the solemn atmosphere of Shengjing, it is not as good as the inland states. The city walls of Xicheng are tall and majestic. The number of defense equipment at the top of the city is far more than that of other state capitals. It seems that it is ferocious and shows its fangs.
The guards and soldiers above were all wearing armor and carrying bows and crossbows. The soldier has a solemn appearance, and he has the murderous aura of those who have actually been on the battlefield. The patrol with Shengjing Nine Gates seems to be strict, but in fact, only half of them have actually been on the battlefield. After the blood, Mu Xiyao thought that if the sergeant’s quality in the capital is not as good as that of the frontier sergeant at a glance, it can make people feel awe.
This also attracted Yuan Chengdi’s dissatisfaction with the family. 30% of Gyeonggi’s defense force was recommended by a family to join the army. Among them, each person’s ability is uneven, and there are not a few people who have not eradicated their playful habits. Not only that, there are many important places in the country, and the guards of the city guards have many such origins.
When the curtain was raised, Mu Xiyao looked far into the distance. People coming and going at the gate of the city were dressed in all kinds of clothes, which made her look fresh. Ordinary people are mostly coarse cloth and ge robes, rich and powerful businessmen prefer wide-sleeved robes, and young men and women wear all kinds of riding clothes and Hu robes.
All the way into Decheng, young men and women are invited to accompany each other, and it is obvious that there is no strict education for men and women in Shengjing. She even saw that a woman Hu stopped the man’s car and gave him a bracelet on the street. Only later did I find out that it was made of beast teeth strung together, symbolizing the most important thing for a woman to become an adult.
The Sixth Highness had said that her mother and son would stay in Xicheng for more than half a year. He also dispatched people to take care of him early, and bought three courtyards in the city as a temporary residence. Zong Zhenglin usually attends political affairs with the generals in the yamen of the state government.
When he arrived in Jingzhou, His Royal Highness changed his behavior. That night, he stepped on the prince’s stand, took Wei Zhenyan on a boat and dozens of private army escorts, dressed in court clothes, and had a great momentum.
Mu Xiyao took Chengyou to eat in the house, and couldn’t help feeling emotional, thanks to the thoughtful boss, he asked Wei Zhen to find the cook to board the boat and accompany him all the way. Otherwise, eating locally is really hard for her to swallow. If you want to come to her master, he is not used to it.
In addition, Wei Zhen also bought two local maids, saying that it was ordered by His Royal Highness and sent to Master Yao to be used on weekdays. Mu Xiyao’s eyes were playful, but Wei Zhen’s scalp felt numb.
Local maid? The boss is really willing to say. I am afraid that it is a female guard specially trained in Jingzhou who does not know which force in his name. Mu Xiyao was funny, the interpreter hat that the boss gave her, in front of the two maids, was incomparable in terms of ability.
I thought that I would have to wait until tomorrow to clean up, and then I would have time to call the two of her to talk to him. I didn’t want to finish the meal, and this strange thing came to my door spontaneously.
