The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 368

[368. Chapter 368 Fishy]

In the mansion of the Eighth Prince, Zong Zhenghan has been alone in the study without a candlestick for two hours.

It was easy to get rid of Zong Zhenghui’s mad dog’s bite, but at this moment he had to face up to the battle for the storage seat. He had a good chance of winning. In terms of merits, Zong Zhengming and Zong Zhenglin have made outstanding achievements in Mobei, obviously not his ability to annihilate meticulous works in Ji. In terms of the support of the courtiers, he and Zong Zhengming are on the bright side. When it comes to the power in his hands, it is Zong Zhengming who ranks last.

That being said, everyone has their own pros and cons. He hit the book case with a heavy punch, with such force that it overturned the entire pen holder. If Xicheng had not been caught in Zong Zhenglin’s trick at that time, and he was attracted to Jingzhou, how could he have watched the man lead his troops to attack the city of Nahan!

It’s a shame that Mobei Dazi is so stupid. Hu He Ye actually took this opportunity to collude with foreign enemies and wanted to change the day, which was a great convenience for Zong Zhenglin.

If there was no cooperation between the two of them, the West Route Army would not have suffered “heavy losses” on the face of it, but actually retained its combat power, and it would have delayed the army of more than 100,000 people in Mobei for more than half a month. Among them, Chunyu Jiahe, a general under Hu Heye, contributed greatly.

This man seemed to be brave when he led the army, but he made some inexplicable mistakes many times, and he was unable to take Xicheng several times. Later, when Mobei transferred troops, he took the initiative to plead guilty and relinquish the power of commander. It prompted the two generals dispatched to lead their troops to attack Xicheng with extra caution at the beginning, but later found that the situation was not right, but it was too late to regret it.

Donglu Neng “just happened” to encounter Huhe Ye’s political enemy, the hussar general Tuoba Hong’s personal soldiers, and they fought bloody battles with them, almost to the death. Such a coincidence, I am afraid it is also the internal intrigue in Mobei, revealing the military situation.

Zong Zhenghan wanted to come now, even if Zong Zhengming and Zong Zhenglin secretly formed an alliance, the man concealed this important information tightly. Otherwise, the casualties of the East Road army would not be so shocking.

In the Eastern Route Army, Zong Zhengming had tens of thousands of private troops. After the war, less than half remained. On the other hand, Zong Zhenglin… The dark guard has already found out that the private army under his command who was quarantined early due to “contamination with the epidemic” was actually the first batch to evacuate from Moganling and lurked in Xicheng. In the battle of defending the city, the casualties were less than 8,000. The real damage is that Shengjing dispatched Wu Jiansi and the Beidi garrison.

With such a ruthless intention, everyone in Beijing was convinced by his appearance. What’s more, I greatly appreciate Zong Zhenglin’s far-reaching ingenuity, wisdom and decisiveness, and he is truly an unparalleled general.

As for the battle of Nahan, with the great Sima Hu and Ye leading the wolf into the house, Zong Zhenglin was naturally able to touch the enemy’s rear unpredictably and capture the capital in less than half a day.

Zong Zhenghan was most caught off guard, but it was Zong Zhengming and Zong Zhenglin. Since the good news came, they didn’t delay for half a minute. They turned to Huizhou and went down from the Wei River. Within eighteen days, he hurried back to Shengjing. And the dead men he arranged, chased and killed all the way, but none of them succeeded, and the people followed without any news, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Zong Zhenghan lowered his head slightly, his long and narrow eyes were scarlet and gloomy. He has become suspicious of the forces under his command, but he can’t find out where he was placed.

If he was told to know who leaked the secret behind his back… the jade in his hand snapped into two pieces.

In Danruo Garden, Mu Xiyao leaned against the fence and threw bait into the koi pond leisurely. He was suddenly surrounded by a big hand around his waist, and when he rolled his eyes, all the bait he held in his palm fell into the pond.

He stretched out his little hand and looked back at him, that meant he would act coquettishly towards His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness.

Seeing that the master was acting like this, Hui Lan immediately handed the jinpa to her. When the master acted like this, His Highness did not spoil her according to her will. But this time it was wrong. Seeing the Sixth Highness waving her hand to signal her to step back, Hui Lan became confused and took her little maid down the steps, staying far away at the junction of the path. When the two masters are alone, it’s too easy to bump into things they shouldn’t see. Dan Ruoyuan’s several well-mannered maids and maids gradually realized the meaning, and spontaneously led people out of the distance. As long as the master can respond when he calls someone, it will be done.

Retire the big maid screen, or leave the handkerchief behind. Mu Xiyao turned her head and stared at it in confusion, holding her small hand high, with a hand stuck to it.

Holding her dishonest wrist, Zong Zhenglin reached out to her chest with his other hand, and rubbed it so deliberately, then raised his brows and picked up her handkerchief.

“The handkerchief in the handmaiden’s hand is more fragrant than the one on Jiaojiao’s body.” The chin was resting on her neck, which was already numb and itchy, but the man wanted to do something wrong, holding the silk handkerchief to the tip of his nose, closing his eyes and sniffing. sniff. It was obviously flirting, which only made Mu Xiyao’s face a little hot.

Looking at his eyes from time to time to his chest, he knew that this man was impure. It’s just a small day, why can’t I wait like this… There is no formality in the daytime.

Satisfied, Zong Zhenglin took advantage of the situation and accepted the brocade pajama embroidered with the pair of mandarin ducks, and he had no intention of returning half of it. She hugged her to the soft couch and sat down. She bowed her head and saw the dazzling red coral and lotus hairpin on her bun, and the man’s face showed satisfaction.

“It looks very good.” She combed her hair on the temples, and lingered on the little woman’s cheeks and ears. His Royal Highness was especially fond of Mu Xiyao’s tender and tender skin.

Of course it is good. I don’t know how much money I spent. I accompanied her to visit the garden that day. The box given by Zong Zhenglin contained a full set of face masks. At the moment, she was just in response to the situation, and only took out a hairpin and wore it.

“I’ll be back later tonight, rest early. Huh?” She took a piece of jujube cake and fed it to her lips, she saw the little woman’s lips, she took a bite, and the corner of the cake fell. A tooth mark.

The Sixth Highness stared at the mark for a long time, but her mind was like a cat’s scratching strength, which pounced on him and bit his neck. Xiaoya’s mouth was dishonest, and he went down to hold his chest bulge.

His body felt a little hot, and looking at the sweets he had rarely tried, he swallowed the whole piece with such a soft complexion.

Mu Xiyao’s beautiful eyes widened, seeing that he was looking at her with deep meaning, a pair of phoenix eyes lingered from her body repeatedly. Looking at him again, he was very disciplined, chewing slowly, and his throat rolled up and down as he swallowed.

This look is clearly a bad idea.

Mu Yaonu didn’t know that in the mind of the Sixth Highness, he wished that he could swallow her like this. And the little woman is noisy, and she struggles coquettishly when enjoying it. No matter how you look at it, she wants to refuse and welcome, which is quite amorous.

Seeing his eyes darken, Mu Xiyao’s heart skipped a beat. It’s still outside, what’s the point of looking like this. It’s not enough to flirt with his mouth, his eyes hints are used, this man is really not abiding by etiquette.

Jiao looked at him angrily, reached out to pour a cup of new tea before picking vegetables, and raised her wrist just like when Zong Zhenglin fed her pastries.

Responding in this way, His Highness Sixth Highness’s brows were pleasant, his eyes intertwined with her for a moment, and he drank it with a chuckle.

This man… Cow chewing peony, good tea wasted.

“My concubine left a lamp for you.” Knowing that he must be busy with something to come back late, Mu Xiyao obeyed obediently.

Previously, Ji Huaian detained the fifth Yuchao and others to be guarded separately, but now it is his arrangement. I don’t know what Zong Zhenglin said to Emperor Yuancheng in the secret report, two generations of emperors, none of them can’t be underestimated.

The one who knew that he was safe and sound, but concealed it from Concubine Shu, even quit court for two days. Crossing the sea like this… who are you trying to check? I’m afraid Yuan Chengdi has run out of patience for family formation.

After going back to her room for two days and three shifts, Zong Zhenglin was faintly aware of it every time she went to bed. The man had a delicate mind, and it was not after grooming that he warmed his hands and feet before hugging her into his arms. He just pretended to hum twice and slept soundly against him.

“Yeah.” Even though she didn’t say it, the candlestick was still lit when she returned to the residence. A little bit of light, quiet in the house. According to the half of her face wrapped in the quilt, it was red and inviting.

Kissing her forehead, Zong Zhenglin stroked the hair on her back, playing with her hands for a while, and then raised his eyes, his expression changed.

“Please be safe when you enter the palace tomorrow.” After a brief pause, Feng’s eyes also half-opened and closed, his eyes darkened. “The old man announced the call to discuss matters, so it is inconvenient to take Jiaojiao with him. Since he entered the palace with Helian, he brought the two children with him.” There are rumors in the palace, and she will hear it tomorrow if she wants to come.

Is this something worth his intentional explanation? Mu Xiyao raised her neck and looked at him suspiciously for a moment.

“Is there something new in the palace?” It’s been a while since he returned to Shengjing, but he didn’t feel comfortable for a moment. He rubbed against his cheek, muttering full of resentment. “Are you here for your concubine again?”

Zong Zhenglin drooped his eyelids as he stroked the top of her hair, and looked sideways, no matter how he looked at it, the smile on the corner of his mouth was sarcastic.

“It’s okay with Jiaojiao. If you encounter a difficult situation, just accept it. The hall will take care of it by itself.” With a

heartbeat, Mu Xiyao looked at the bunch of cannas outside the pavilion, and her eyes flashed. Tomorrow won’t be clean…According

to her guess, Mu Xiyao went to Concubine Shu’s palace early the next morning to greet her, and just sat down when she met the fourth concubine who took the initiative to talk to her. Seeing her approaching with a slight embarrassment, she seemed a little embarrassed, and she avoided her eyes without a trace when she spoke. At the end, he held a tea bowl and immersed himself in the tea.

After listening to the words, Mu Xiyao followed him and served tea. Using the cover, she looked over at the concubine Shu who was holding Chengqing, holding a jade Ruyi, and teasing Chengyou with a kind face. Leave.

The complexion is not as well-proportioned as before. Looking at her cheekbones, her cheekbones were clearly defined, and her face that was as lustrous as a full moon was thinner. There were rumors in the palace that, through this dangerous illness, Concubine Shu aroused the emperor’s pity, and there were faint signs of returning to favor. Although it can’t compare to the most proud time, but compared with the concubine Xian, who is also the fourth concubine, she is firmly in the front.

Holding a jade chopstick and sandwiching a three-color cake, Mu Xiyao looked at the fourth prince concubine, and smiled softly. I tasted the cakes in small bites, as usual, it was very rare to eat in the palace.

He smiled and nodded, his face kind and polite. Even if ordinary women are uncomfortable about this, they can’t see it at all.

“Fourth Sister-in-law, you said this, the concubine thinks it’s very good.” The

fourth prince concubine was anxious, and the words got into her ears, and she suddenly raised her head and stared at her very much.

This gesture, was she afraid that she would force herself to go back and file a complaint with Zong Zhenglin?

But can she deserve the unhappiness? Since Concubine Shu supported this person to come over and talk about it, and by the way, she had to be a little more acquainted. However, she was able to keep her face unchanged, and she was so graceful, but it was more because His Royal Highness coaxed people in advance and gave her a big reassurance.

She is spoiled and has nothing to worry about. There are other people who should be worried…
