The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 76

[76. Chapter 76 Crown Ceremony]

Zong Zhenglin took Mu Xiyao to live comfortably in Bie Zhuang, but he dragged on until he was more than four months pregnant, and then hurried back to the mansion half a month before the crown ceremony.

“Let them stay in the backyard quietly, and the concubine will greet him after entering the door.” Zong Zhenglin hugged Mu Xiyao and got out of the car, and directly instructed Tian Fushan to take good care of the new people in the backyard, not to disturb Mu Xiyao’s childcare.

“His Royal Highness, the crown ceremony was held in Jiahe Hall on that day. Concubine can’t pretend to be on the sidelines?” Why does the crown ceremony have to be cleared? The rules of the Great Wei Dynasty really made Mu Xiyao speechless. He is more open-minded towards women, and there are female officials in the palace. But the crowning is such a heavy ceremony, but women are not allowed to observe it.

“Want to see it?” Zong Zhenglin looked at Mu Xiyao with bright eyes, full of anticipation.

“Naturally.” Guanli and Jijia were things that Mu Xiyao had been curious about for a long time. She should have had a wedding ceremony, but unfortunately she married too early, and the baby was all hugged. Jijia naturally has no relationship with her. Da Wei’s wedding dress is only for those young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet, not everyone can have this honor.

Zong Zhenglin was silent for a moment and thought for a moment. Three days before the crown ceremony, it is necessary to fast and bathe. On the day of the crown ceremony, Emperor Yuancheng and the three princes arrive together. The only one who could stay on the spot was the only woman, Concubine Shu, her biological mother.

“Pretend to be a waiter and watch it through the curtain. After the ceremony is over, you are not allowed to stay.”

Mu Xiyao was overjoyed, Zong Zhenglin could really arrange for her to sneak in? This is simply a major breach of etiquette. However, there are not a few rules that His Royal Highness has broken. A man who is used to his own way is hard to hide his arrogance.

“Your Highness is back?” Su Linrou threw away the female red in her hand and looked at Mammy Dai with a complicated expression.

“Master, you must not think about being awkward with His Highness. It’s fine for ordinary men to be a little arrogant. These six highnesses are not easy to mess with. The servant heard from the servants that, except for the Mu family, His Royal Highness usually He is cold and dignified towards others. Such a man must be arrogant and arrogant, how can he tolerate a woman in trouble?”

“I’m not stupid enough to offend Your Highness!” Su Linrou was annoyed. She just couldn’t calm down. “Your Highness has returned, can you explain when to serve tea?”

“Just now, the big steward spread the word, saying that the concubine Zheng entered the door and greeted them together.”

Su Linrou was stunned, what does this mean?

“Not allowed to serve tea?” Wan Jingwen looked at Zhu Jin in surprise. What does this mean?

Could it be that Zong Zhenglin wanted to keep a decent face for Helian Minmin? Wan Jingwen’s face was gloomy, her fingers that had just painted the color armour clasped the lining tightly.

“Want to be lazy again?” Zong Zhenglin wrapped around Mu Xiyao’s waist from behind, and caressed her abdomen with a big hand.

The woman shrank her toes lazily and rubbed against his leg. “Inferior gouache, it smells bad!”

Pinching her ears, Zong Zhenglin instructed others, “Why is it so delicate? Gong fans can’t stand it?” If you don’t teach me for three days, I will give you all kinds of tricks.

“Who made them all look like cute flowers when their concubines are pregnant? It’s annoying!” Mu Xiyao usually doesn’t use rouge gouache herself, this requires a group of women to gather together, the smell is messy, is it uncomfortable?

“His Royal Highness, this brothel Chu Pavilion is really that good? Why is it that a man wants to drill into it? The concubine can’t stand it when she thinks of the fat powder in the sky. And the dancing Juanpa, when she sees people, she just slaps her face. Sweep, have you ever changed it?”

Zong Zhenglin was amused by the strange thoughts in Mu Xiyao’s mind, what was this woman thinking? Most of the people who can enter the brothel in Shengjing are “Yaki”, which is very much sought after by the clan scribes. Those in her mouth are just lowly prostitutes, who can’t enter the brothel and stay in the hall. Could it be that the brothels in the eyes of noble ladies from aristocratic families are so filthy?

“Don’t talk nonsense. If you have time, it’s okay to make an unannounced visit in disguise.” Bringing a little woman to see the world is beneficial to her. Shengjing is prosperous, but it also hides filth. So that she doesn’t know the depths and goes out of the palace.

Mu Xiyao’s eyes lit up, can you see it? “It’s okay for a small herdsman too?”

“Presumptuous!” Zong Zhenglin angrily scolded, arresting someone and coming here is a good one. Still want to go to the small shop? It seemed that after leaving the palace, she had to watch her closely to feel at ease.

Mu Xiyao smashed her foot with a rock, but this time she was really repaired. It is the most difficult for His Highness to tolerate her “not cultivating women’s morality”. This woman always loves to bump into her, and she doesn’t know how to repent.

Zong Zhenglin left the residence before the crown ceremony, and phoenix eyes narrowed at her for a long time. “Take care of the book, if you can’t answer the investigation of this hall, you can teach the mother at any time.” After she finished speaking, she left without waiting for her reply.

What does this mean? Wen what book? Mu Xiyao was at a loss as she watched the Sixth Highness get up and leave.

After dinner in the evening, Mother Zhao held a stack of books and presented them with her head down.

After Mu Xiyao took it over and read the title of the book, she gritted her teeth in anger, and slapped the book on the desk.

That bastard, Zong Zhenglin!

She actually asked her to read “Women’s Regulations”, “Internal Training”, “Xiuyi” and “Female Fan Jielu”! Don’t you just mention a little bitch? Hasn’t this happened yet? As for, as for?

His uncle’s, next time, he must wear a female Zun and play NP, which is too embarrassing.

In the thirteenth year of Emperor Zhanghe of Yuan Cheng, on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, the Sixth Highness Zong Zhenglin gave a crown ceremony in Jiahe Hall. The emperor personally came, the grand master gave a congratulatory speech, and the Taibao crowned.

Mu Xiyao, dressed in a white dress, sat quietly in the soft chair in the compartment, looking out through the gauze curtain. The guard behind Zhen’s face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

Master Yao has come to Jiahe Palace to have fun! Doesn’t this kill him? His Highness actually condoned this, and Guan Li allowed her to break the rules of the ancestors. Wei Zhen suddenly remembered the dignified and solemn Sixth Highness. The current master, Wei Zhen looked at Concubine Mu, who was sitting firmly in front of him, with grief.

Mu Xiyao looked at Zong Zhenglin kneeling upright, even if he bowed his knees, he was still arrogant. That man was so strong showing his arrogance in his heart, no wonder it caused the wild flowers and rotten peach blossoms to keep fluttering towards him.

Zong Zhenglin, who was kneeling in the center of the hall, wore a crown of dark purple piping, a crown of cloth, a crown of travel, and a crown. After that, he stood tall and solemn.

Yuan Chengdi nodded in approval and admonished one or two.

Mu Xiyao looked at Zong Zhenglin under the attention of all the people, with a calm demeanor and a graceful bearing. Duzui muttered, and led Wei Zhen away quietly.

Wei Zhenzheng admired His Highness’s unparalleled bearing, and just listened to Master Yao’s angrily saying, “The male peacock loves to show off.”

When Zong Zhenglin noticed out of the corner of his eye that the figure behind the curtain was no longer there, Fang retracted his thoughts and calmly accepted the congratulations from the guests present.

In addition to her ceremonial clothes, Mu Xiyao struttingly stopped in the imperial garden to enjoy herself, but she wondered if Zong Zhenglin would really inspect her “homework”.

While distracted, she was gently pulled on her sleeve by Mama Zhao. After listening to the greetings from everyone behind him, he noticed the gentle smiling man in front of him.

Mu Xiyao was stunned for a moment, and immediately became embarrassed. Busy looking, he bowed his knees in a proper manner. “Your Highness Fifth is well.”

Zong Zhengming caught Mu Xiyao’s uneasy expression, and he politely called out without saying anything. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes and no outer clothes, she frowned slightly.

“The end of spring is dewy, don’t be greedy for the cold.” After saying that, he led people away.

Zhao mama Huilan stared at Mu Xiyao strangely, when did the master become so familiar with the fifth prince?

“His Royal Highness!” The soft female voice behind her interrupted Mu Xiyao’s stunned stun, but when she turned around, she saw a strange woman staring at her with a sullen look in her eyes.

Who is coming? What look is this? Mu Xiyao squinted slightly, trying to recall.
