The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 342
[342. Chapter 342 Arrival]
It has been two days since I arrived at Dexi. Wan Jingwen was so anxious, why didn’t His Highness return to the city to recuperate, and stayed in Moganling, her life was a big deal, and even more important, how could she enter the army without His Highness’s order? Relying on Concubine Shu’s decree, she could only be treated by officials in Xicheng, but this decree was of little use in front of the West Road army.
For the past two days, she and Mrs Zhang took a rest at the post house in the city. Originally, I sent someone to go to the official residence of the female Lin to ask if she could stay here for a few days and then leave. I didn’t know that the woman was very arrogant, and she didn’t say anything at all, so she refused her two requests because of illness. Forcibly told them to be careful in this place where strangers come and go.
Seeing that His Highness and the two women were not getting along well, the prefect of Xicheng hurriedly brought people to the bottom for inspection. I was afraid that the two concubines from the capital would use their identities to trouble him. Who is Lady Lin? The only woman by His Highness’s side who took him all the way. Although Mrs. Mujin appeared in Xicheng and won the favor of His Highness, Lady Lin’s house was protected by His Highness like an iron barrel. Just by looking at the inside and outside, you could tell that she was also favored.
The two sides couldn’t afford to offend them. The prefect made such a total, and asked the newly appointed Lord Tongju to settle the people in the post house, and provide them with delicious food and drink. He also sent a letter to the barracks in person, and waited for His Highness to give a clear sentence.
Zhu Jin got Wan Jingwen’s instructions, and went down to find the post house steward who said that he wanted to change to a decent place to live, but every time he got a response, the prefect was not free, and he was sentenced to be the master.
Without the order of His Highness, who would dare to settle the woman in his backyard privately? Knowing that the two nobles were looking at the mansion in the east of Zhongcheng, but that place, let alone the verdict that he would not dare to touch it, even if he had the courage, he would not commit a crime with a woman who had only been here for two days and openly burned two bamboo baskets for Fangsheng. make life difficult for. Just by looking at that person, you can tell that he is a ruthless person. Because there are only concubines in Shengjing who are not well-known and unloved, and face the favored concubine who His Highness clearly protects, thousands of such stupid things are not worth it.
Mrs. Zhang was never assertive, and everything was done in consultation with Wan Jingwen. She was very free during the day, and felt uneasy in a strange place, so she simply told her that she wanted 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 mad at the ignorant guy outside, plus Mrs. Zhang’s stubborn face was sticking to her, and her mouth was full of reasons that she couldn’t refute. He had to follow the usual manner of honest people in Shengjing, and gritted his teeth to answer Zhang’s request.
So Zhu Jin inquired about the news from the outside world, and Zhang Shi also listened to it.
After the girl lowered her head and said her throat was a little hoarse, she gave a rough outline of what happened to His Highness in Xicheng for the past six months. After talking for a long time, most of the people in the room were involved with women, which made Wan Jingwen and Mrs. Zhang dumbfounded at the same time.
Mrs. Zhang was honest, and she thought that His Highness should be the solemn and solemn look of Shengjingli. How do you know that when you change your location, you seem to be a different person, how can you suddenly become so romantic?
The more worry in my heart is that His Highness is carrying more than one woman on his back, and he is going to be known by that one, and he still doesn’t know what it will look like.
Wan Jingwen was so annoyed that her forehead throbbed. No wonder the woman in Chengdong refused her request. It turned out that the bullshit female official was not arrogant, but climbed up on His Highness’s bed early and became a woman outside Zong Zhenglin! Before that, she and Mrs. Zhang had sent people to the door so politely, wasn’t she just humiliating herself and being trampled on the head by these lowly people?
Just as he was annoyed at being humiliated, Mrs. Zhang who was sitting next to him asked cautiously, “Sister, look, what should I do now?
” Apart from these words, as stupid as Mrs. Zhang, you can’t think about even the slightest bit of usefulness! She tilted her head to see her sad face, as if the sky was about to fall. This unfortunate appearance made her heart hurt just by looking at it.
Wan Jingwen is in a hurry now, not because she is worried that His Highness will be kept here forever. No matter how the two of them had traveled thousands of miles, they had been ordered by Concubine Shu to come here to serve the sick. Even if His Highness didn’t want to see them again, Concubine Shu’s face should always be taken into consideration. She was just anxious to get to His Highness earlier, and the more dangerous it was about serving the disease, the more difficult it would be to erase the affection she had earned.
I didn’t listen to Zhu Jin’s reply, that bitch has been by His Highness’s side for more than half a month, and it’s too late to get along with her.
The two concubines from Beijing were so anxious that Mu Xiyao held a small mallet in the Moganling coach’s tent, and smashed a walnut with a very skilled swipe.
Knowing that the deceased was coming, they left Hui Lan and Mammy to take care of the two children in the city. The guard was handed over to Wei Zhen. Naren Saren is following female officer Lin, let alone appearing here. This is good, people who are unavailable, have to do everything by themselves. Others don’t know the twists and turns of the interior, they only know that for many days, the lady has been hands-on with everything, taking care of His Royal Highness’s daily life properly.
Fingers like green onion and white jade looked very delicate, but after three or two efforts, they peeled off the walnut kernels, and fed half of them in their mouths first, smacking their mouths and eating with frowning eyes, and the remaining half, lightly. With a light toss, it landed on the white jade disk at hand.
Then, he pulled a good hand from the plate and was about to smash it, but was stopped by the man who was in front of the screen, who was approving the official document. “Jiaojiao, the portion is enough.”
“The concubine has already eaten ten?” Unbelievable muttered and stretched out his fingers to scratch in his porcelain plate. He got it right.
Boss, are you doing something serious, or are you overhearing your concubine smashing walnuts? The screen can’t stop you, this skill should be so enviable.
“His Royal Highness, someone is going to come in later?”
Zong Zhenglin’s lowered eyebrows unconsciously picked it up. “Just come out.” What if someone called to wait outside.
Putting down the small wooden hammer, he took the skirt and went around to the front.
He clearly heard her footsteps approaching, but he didn’t say a word for a long time. Zong Zhenglin raised his eyes and saw the woman holding a porcelain plate and looking at him with a smile.
“What are you doing, 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, he twisted a piece of peach kernel, and he didn’t talk to disturb his serious business. He was so obedient and clever. Occasionally, he put a piece of food in the man’s mouth. The Sixth Highness’s lips. As usual, the two got along very well. It is rare to encounter such a scene of peace and happiness. Except for Zong Zhenglin who has few confidants, it is difficult for others to see the gentle appearance of His Royal Highness.
The ten-petal walnut kernels were fed cleanly, and it happened that Zong Zhenglin also finished processing the official document and closed the file. Mu Xiyao held the tea bowl in front of him. The man was too lazy to lift his hands, so he just waited on her and ate half a cup of the tea that was newly released this year. A pair of phoenix eyes stared at her from beginning to end. The concentration in his eyes made Mu Xiyao a little embarrassed.
Taking back the wrist that was holding the tea, he was about to leave him to pick up the dishes, but he was stopped by Zong Zhenglin. If he hadn’t snatched the tea cup from her hand earlier, both of them would have been splashed with tea. It’s the color that gets dirty.
“When the case is released, someone will clean it up.”
Of course she knew that someone would clean it up, the boss loved her dearly, and was reluctant to let her touch the cold water. She just felt that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to avoid it earlier.
“The concubine is going to tidy up later, but you can’t let it go.” This voice was so delicate and pretty, in the ears of the Sixth Highness, it seemed that she was willing to leave.
A little smile trembled in her throat, and she lifted her whole body up by two points. “Want to leave before serving?” She raised her chin slightly, indicating that she hadn’t wiped the corners of his lips with Jinpa.
Angrily glanced at him, and pulled out the silk handkerchief from the front of his shirt to greet Zong Zhenglin’s face. Before his hand could touch anyone, he grabbed his wrist halfway with his eyes and his hand, and looked at her for a moment with a half-smile, and then his lips were blocked.
“It’s better than a silk handkerchief.” Satisfied after making a comment, she knew that she would be restless. If the little paw hadn’t been caught by him, he didn’t know how to be arrogant on his face at this moment.
As he was secretly competing with the little woman, Zong Zhenglin wished that she would not be honest and jump under his nose. It was rare to find an excuse to take advantage, but was interrupted by Ye Kai pressing his voice outside.
Jiaojiao gasped and pushed him away, Mu Xiyao wiped her mouth, and Liangze was gone, but unfortunately that blushing face was full of shyness.
Seeing her pink face and peach cheeks, Zong Zhenglin straightened his face and arranged the veil for her, not to prevent Ye Kai, but to be unwilling to be seen by others as this little goblin’s seductive mood. His cheeks were also covered, but the pair of eyes that were exposed outside were watery and misty, dazed, and shyly greeted him, but it was not easy to cover up.
Squinting at her, he simply held her on his side and pressed her into his arms, with his back to the curtain, and no one could see the strange expression on Mu Xiyao’s face.
Almost bumping his nose, Mu Xiyao poked his chest angrily. The moment Ye opened the curtain, the woman softened and fell on his shoulders very softly. The change was so quick that Zong Zhenglin gave her a teasing glance.
This is the case again! Ye Kaixin complained and did not dare to show his face at all. Master Yao was born here so precious that he couldn’t even sit on a brocade stool.
“His Royal Highness, the prefect has sent a letter in his own hand.” The
prefect? With her ears pricked up, Mu Xiyao was instantly refreshed. As soon as he rolled his eyes, what could Xicheng ask him to rush to disturb the “sick” Sixth Highness?
The little hand behind Zong Zhenglin counted with his fingers, but it turned out to be an old friend visiting. They were the masters who had given a betrothal gift and brought them into the mansion. At this moment, the two of them should have rushed over to serve the Sixth Highness, and by the way, they had sent the fox-like widow she had raised outside.
Zhang was timid and knew that he couldn’t give birth, so he would definitely not be able to play tricks. It was purely pointed out by Concubine Shu to make up the number. Only Wan Shi, Mu Xiyao’s eyes seemed to open and close, with a faint hope.
Away from Shengjing, without a more prominent woman holding her head, will Mrs. Wan relax her guard and reveal her true temperament? Especially, if there is more of her disgusting person in front of Zong Zhenglin, it gets in the way of her…
