The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 43

[43. Chapter 43 Please be safe]

The fourth prince and concubine were talking to Concubine Shu about the interesting things about the children in the house, but she heard from outside the door that Concubine Mu Fang came to greet the empress.

This is the first time that Mu Xiyao has come to the palace to greet Concubine Shu. She had already inquired about Concubine Shu’s preferences from Zong Zhenglin a few days ago, and today she is here to please her mother-in-law. When I entered the door, I saw Concubine Shu sitting at the top, next to the fourth prince concubine, and a woman standing behind her, who should be the side concubine.

Mu Xiyao was full of smiles, and greeted the three of them in a proper manner, and was summoned by Concubine Shu to sit on the other side.

Mu Xiyao looked at the side concubine who was standing, and after a little hesitation, she sat down generously. Pregnant women always have preferential treatment. Not recognizing the birth at all, Mu Xiyao smiled and asked Mo Lan to take the gift, and apologized embarrassedly to the fourth concubine, “Fourth sister-in-law, I don’t know that you are here today, and you didn’t bring the one specially prepared for you. Son. Look, I’ll let someone send you to the house when I turn around?” The eyelashes blinked and blinked, very charming, making Concubine Shu amused.

Mu Xiyao opened the box in her hand, “Niangniang, concubine, I heard from Your Highness that you like vanilla very much. I made a full set of accessories for you. Do you like it?” The neat jewelry was held in front of Concubine Shu.

With the anticipation on her face, Concubine Shu took the box without thinking too much. When other people came to her, who didn’t serve her carefully, this Concubine Mu was very affectionate.

Looking at the set of twelve pieces of jewelry on the aqua blue background, it is very beautiful. The collocation of vanilla is also quite particular, from flower bud earrings to full blooming steps, all gestures are vivid and extravagant. Surprisingly, the box is also infused with the fragrance of vanilla flowers, which is very pleasant, and even the jewelry is stained with a touch of fragrance, lingering slightly.

Several women were very pleasantly surprised. They chirped and praised for a long time, and then they were confused by Mu Xiyao, and they talked about one thing after a while. Just as she was talking, Mu Xiyao suddenly acted like a spoiled brat to Concubine Shu, “Niangniang, your grandson is hungry, can you help her with some snacks?”

Concubine Shu covered her silk handkerchief and laughed at her shameless, using the child to ask for snacks. Mu Xiyao immediately complained, saying that His Highness, because of his son’s dislike of garlic, had to let the family’s meals be served with mashed garlic.

A room of women suddenly fell down laughing. Unexpectedly, the Sixth Highness, who usually has a stern face, has such a narrow time.

Concubine Shu even remembered that when Zong Zhenglin was a child, a little bit of a little guy, frowning and arguing not to dip the garlic-flavored mutton, she felt overwhelmed for a while.

For a long time, the child has never shown such feelings again. Looking at Mu shi’s eyes full of smiles, he took Zong Zhenglin as a target, and he smiled happily. This is a big-hearted and fat person, and he doesn’t have those twists and turns. No wonder the old sixth pets him.

When Zong Zhenglin came in, he saw Mu Xiyao hugging Concubine Shu’s arm, enthusiastically praising the palace’s crispness, and her small mouth twitched.

Zong Zhenglin first greeted Concubine Shu, and then greeted each other. After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, she saw Mu Xiyao’s little hand stretched out to the dessert plate again. Ignoring the presence of the people around, he frowned, “How much is this?”

Everyone else in the hall fell silent in surprise, only Mu Xiyao pouted and muttered with a guilty conscience, “Your Highness, don’t keep staring at your concubine. Is the dim sum worth it?” He felt aggrieved like that.

Concubine Shu didn’t understand, “What’s the matter? Take a few more if you like it.” Then she asked someone to get it for her.

“Mother concubine, the imperial doctor won’t let her eat too many sweets, saying that if she accumulates too much, the child will be raised too much, which will be unfavorable for childbirth.” Zong Zhenglin stared at Mu Xiyao seriously, but his words were directed at Shu what the princess said.

“You child, the imperial doctor has already said it, so be obedient. It’s a big deal for this woman to give birth to a child, and she can’t be sloppy.” Concubine Shu looked at Mu Xiyao with a smile and was unwilling to be managed by Zong Zhenglin, she was still a child . Thinking about how young she was, she was only fifteen years old, so she felt like this was just right. I hurriedly asked someone to put away the plate, so as not to attract her attention.

Seeing that Zong Zhenglin was here, Mu Xiyao didn’t want to mess with her today. She relied on Concubine Shu’s coquettish smirk to please her, “Next time, my concubine will prepare better.” Zheng Lin’s face twitched. Concubine Shu patted her little hand and smiled.

Zong Zhenglin drank tea, and seeing that it was almost time, he got up to leave and took Mu Xiyao back. Mu Xiyao turned around as she walked, happily sharing her pets, “My concubine will show you those two fat rabbits next time.” Before she could finish speaking, Zong Zhenglin pulled her over and turned her head. , “It’s good to see the road!”

“His Royal Highness, please slow down, your concubine’s legs are numb.” The two walked farther and farther as they spoke.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Four looked at each other and sighed. Finally, there was someone who could make Lao Liu look different. The side concubine who was serving on the side sighed silently. His Royal Highness favored that person, unlike himself, who was dispensable in the manor. If the only son of the Fourth Highness hadn’t been born, I’m afraid I don’t know where it is now.

Zong Zhenglin walked in front, Mu Xiyao blushed and moved happily.

“Very happy?” The man in front slowed down, with an expression in the palace that no one would ever enter. Pretending to be so, Mu Xiyao pouted.

“Yeah. The concubine is very good, and the concubine didn’t think it was the concubine who came from above.” Mu Xiyao said bluntly.

Zong Zhenglin was funny, her mother and concubine had something to do with Gao Gao, but he himself was never considered unusual by the little woman. Zong Zhenglin was also puzzled by this, and the other women looked at him cautiously, for fear of making His Royal Highness unhappy. She’s good, it’s commonplace to provoke provocation. But that’s what made him feel comfortable with her.

“Before you came, you were afraid that your mother and concubine would be too strict. Why haven’t I seen you afraid of this hall?” Zong Zhenglin asked again.

“The concubine didn’t do anything, why should I be afraid of His Highness? Besides, even if there is a mistake, it is only after the birth of the child that His Highness can take care of the concubine.” He looked confident and took it for granted.

Zong Zhenglin was enraged by her. It turned out that the little woman played this abacus. Seeing her proud nose, she added coolly, “After giving birth, this hall has time to clean up you.” The tone was very determined.

Mu Xiyao froze for a moment, lost her mind for a while, and forgot to hang out in the Prince’s Mansion, and she always had to pay it back. With a bitter face, he dawdled behind and pondered how to coax the big boss so that he would forget his presumptuousness.

Zong Zhenglin glanced back at her with a smile in his phoenix eyes.

The two returned to Danruo Garden, but they didn’t want Mrs. Zhang but waited outside, followed by a girl with a burden in her hand.

“Slave, please greet His Highness’s concubine.” Mrs. Zhang curtseyed very well, waiting for the two to call.

Mu Xiyao called out kindly on her face, and let Mrs. Zhang speak in the room. Zong Zhenglin remained silent.

“What’s the matter with you?” Mu Xiyao began to guess Zhang’s intentions. This woman is also considered smart, but she doesn’t have Tang Yiru’s palace. Since entering the mansion, Mrs. Zhang has not yet been employed by Zong Zhenglin, but she has also stayed in the backyard safely and has never had any trouble. In the previous life, he gave birth to a daughter for Zong Zhenglin, but she died before she grew up. In the end, he is also a nobleman. As an old man in the house, his position is very embarrassing.

“If you go back to Concubine Side, when the slaves have nothing to do, they make some little things and use them to honor Concubine Side.” The attitude is quite respectful.

It was the first time that Mu Xiyao heard someone say “filial piety” and felt awkward. On the face of it, he was very talkative, smiled and accepted the gift, and also praised a few words.

Zong Zhenglin didn’t expect that the silent Zhang family would come to please Mu Xiyao, but he didn’t care. Just a concubine, as long as the little woman is happy, she can do whatever she wants. If Mr. Zhang knows the rules and measures, he can take care of himself a little more. The concubine in the backyard was really dispensable to him.

After giving the needle and thread made by herself, Mrs Zhang did not hesitate, and took the girl back to the Bamboo Sound Hall.

“Master, you have been begging the side concubine now, but you still don’t know if the side concubine will accept it or not. In the future, the first concubine that can’t be tolerated in her eyes will be the side concubine. If you are hated at the same time, what should you do? Is it okay?” Zhang’s girl was very worried.

“It’s all like this now, what else to say later. I think that Mrs. Mu has the means to suppress Mrs. Tang, who was also a concubine at the time, and has not been close to His Highness, so it is not a good deal. This kind of thing. People, as long as they don’t make a big mistake and have children by their side, it’s still worth a gamble.”
