The Beloved Imperial Consort

Mu Xiyao calmly and slowly ate the soup. Then who said that every woman in the backyard has a story, and it is really accurate.

Wan's expression just now was filled with hatred and deep resentment. Seeing Helian Minmin's expression, he didn't even know it. That's interesting. Could it be that the palace fights have stopped, and the house fights have started again? Mu Xiyao speculated leisurely.

"Your Highness, the concubine and the people recruited by the chief steward have made arrangements. Do you want to have a look?" Helian Minmin asked for instructions respectfully.

"Let you worry about it. Pass!"

Mu Xiyao looked at the craftsmen in coarse linen and linen clothes in front of her, and asked a few simple questions, only two gardeners were left to specialize in the famous flowers and herbs in Danruo Garden, and the rest were distributed to each courtyard.

After leaving the main house, Mu Xiyao took the opportunity to propose to bring a few children from Mu's family into the mansion, and His Highness Six directly agreed without even thinking about it.

The corners of Mu Xiyao's lips twitched when she thought of the day that Helian Minmin had specially mentioned to Zong Zhenglin.

"Your Highness, the concubine specially chose the first day of the next month from the auspicious days presented by the Qin Tianjian, and I understand this well." The woman not only wanted to use the banquet to make Zong Zhenglin more sexy, but also wanted to be happy with the housewarming Take the opportunity to get pregnant. It was a good calculation.

How could Zong Zhenglin not know. Squeeze her little hand, and lead the person to walk around the yard twice.

In the afternoon of the next day, Nanny Gui came in with a smile all over her face.

"Master, I'm overjoyed! The chief steward delivered the news that the master and wife will be able to arrive at the Songjiang Ferry tonight. It only takes half a day's drive, and they will be able to arrive at Shengjing tomorrow."

"Are there tomorrow morning?" Mu Xiyao got up happily, and paced around the room with her palace fan on.

"I don't know if your Highness will be free tomorrow..." Mu Xiyao muttered to herself, frowning, a little impatiently.

Nanny Gui laughed, His Highness had already planned that she would ask this question.

"His Royal Highness has sent a message that tomorrow he will accompany his side concubine to the Mu Mansion to welcome the Lord. He also specially ordered the chief steward to send the servant girl to help. The house has been tidied up a long time ago. It is a three-entry mansion that the master likes, a garden pavilion Very elegant."

Knowing that His Highness the Sixth Highness is so thoughtful and attentive, Mu Xiyao smiled sweetly. Boss-sama is too mighty, the benefits of hugging the thighs are real!

"Ask Chunlan to deliver a letter to Third Miss, and say that a sedan chair will be sent to pick her up tomorrow."

"Oh, I'll do it now, old slave." Nanny Gui was as happy as Mu Xiyao when she heard that Master Mu had come to Beijing. With the transfer of Mrs. Mu this time, not only can she meet her son and wife, but she can also see his wife again, which is very good.

Seeing that Concubine Concubine got the second lady's message, Rui Zhu kept silent, just staring blankly at the inserted vase, very puzzled. Ever since I entered the backyard of His Royal Highness Fifth Highness, I haven't seen Mrs. Madam again. My aunt will also come to Beijing this time, but why doesn't my master see her happy face?

If she had received the news a few days earlier, Mu Xiting would have been ecstatic. But now, she couldn't be happy no matter what. She thought that His Highness had finally cared for her two points, but she was addicted to the warmth of the past few days. The ridiculous thing is that they just borrowed the light of others...

"Mother!" Mu Xiyao was just helped out of the car by Zong Zhenglin, and she was about to throw herself on Yu Shi immediately.

Seeing her lift the curtain and come out, Mrs. Yu still had tears in her eyes, who knew that the girl was so frightened that she panicked just as soon as she fell to the ground. "Oh, slow down, why are you still so frizzy!" He hurried over and grabbed her arm as a reprimand.

Mu Xiyao ignored all the rumors, hugged Yu Shi and turned her head to greet Master Mu, "Daddy is well." After speaking, she frowned, "Dad, isn't it too hard, how can you reduce a lot?" The little head twisted and stared Watching Mu Da people look at it.

"Ahem." Mu Jingzhen looked at His Highness Six in embarrassment, but the little girl still escaped. His Highness didn't look the same in front of him.

Zong Zhenglin was secretly protecting Mu Xiyao, and he had long been on guard against her carelessness. Seeing Mu Jingzhen's eyes indicating Mu Xiyao to abide by the rules, he couldn't help being funny. If she can be steady and obedient, Shengjing will not have a lot of ups and downs in the past few days, making a fuss about Concubine Liu, desperately trying to get rid of it.

In a fit of rage, Emperor Yuan Cheng grounded everyone in the harem, even Concubine Shu's palace was no exception. It's just slightly better than other palaces, and there is no interrogation. For example, in the imperial concubine and concubine's palace, there have been two rounds of summons from the palace people. It was really jittery, and the color changed after hearing the news. This time the Empress Dowager also paid a lot of attention, calling the concubine to beat her up from time to time, making people in the palace panic, even walking for fear of causing trouble.

Mu Xiyao held Yu Shi's arm and followed behind Zong Zhenglin and Master Mu, with a bright smile on her face, bragging to Yu Shi vigorously.

"Mother, you see that my daughter is not doing well now. Back then you were just worrying about it." After saying that, she raised her face and said proudly, "I promised you a big mansion, but now you have fulfilled it." She patted her protruding belly again, but Yu Shi slapped her dishonest hand away, and continued to squirm, "There is one more, and it will pop out to please you immediately. As for the elder brother marrying a wife, my daughter always thinks about it." , keep it and never forget it." Mu Xiyao hugged Yu Shi's arm, speaking with full confidence.

Nanny Gui protected her and joked with a smile, "Master, your highness gave you this mansion, and it's not in your name."

Mu Xiyao stared and quit, and pouted to retort, "If it wasn't for your master's attentive service, would His Highness reward you?" How difficult that man Zong Zhenglin is to deal with is beyond words! How great is her sacrifice, why should it not be credited to her?

"Cough cough cough cough." Master Mu couldn't listen anymore, his old face was ashamed. This is so outrageous, His Highness dares to talk nonsense in front of you, this daughter must be taken care of. From her point of view, this house seems to have been bought by selling one's body. outrageous!

Being stared at by her own father, Mu Xiyao muttered aggrievedly. The Mu family's old house in Shengjing was disposed of by her because she disliked it, and she entrusted Tian Fushan to look at another place, and only then did she have the present rich family compound. Zong Zhenglin took the initiative to subsidize it, and it wasn't her begging for it. How did her father teach her this lesson?

This time, Zong Zhenglin saw Mu Xiyao deflated again and again, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he finally found a way to cure her. This woman is very obedient in front of Mu Jingzhen and Yu Shi. It was quite different from the rebellious and unruly look in front of him. It turns out that this woman is used to pretending to be cute at home, Zong Zhenglin's phoenix eyes left her honest appearance, and already cares about her.

Hearing that she was disrespectful to His Highness, Mrs. Yu was so frightened that she tapped her forehead, strained her ear to lecture, and read Mu Xiyao to a sleepy look, and pitifully asked Zong Zhenglin for help. Having been with His Highness the Sixth Highness for a long time, I forgot about restraint. Master Mu and Mrs. Yu are well-behaved and honest people, and they couldn't stand her surprise.

"The side concubine is pure and straightforward, it's really rare." Zong Zhenglin was amused by her small appearance, and he helped her to excuse a few words against her will.

His Highness the Sixth Highness couldn't believe it even if he found a reason, and Mu Xiyao's face twitched even more. This man wouldn't be praising her secretly, mocking her, right?

Aunt Wu sat at the end, anxiously looking outside the door, a little anxious.

"Don't panic, Auntie, I have already sent someone to pick up Xi Ting,..."

"My lord, His Highness the Fifth Highness brought the Third Miss back to the mansion." The porter hurriedly reported.

Mu Jingzhen was surprised. His Highness the Fifth Highness coming to the door?

"Your Highness, why don't you go out to meet people together, and then have dinner at the gazebo?" Mu Xiyao had long been thinking about the food at home, and even planned the place to eat for Yu Shi.

Last night, Zong Zhenglin heard her talk about the cook of the Mu Mansion a few times, so he naturally knew that the little woman was greedy, so he smiled and got up.

When the people arrived at the veranda, they saw His Highness the Fifth Highness in brocade robes, leading Mu Xiting, coming towards them.

"The sixth brother is also here." Zong Zhengming said gently, and from the corner of his eye he glanced at the woman with a big belly behind him.

"Fifth brother." Zong Zhenglin nodded.

"His Highness the Fifth Highness." Mu Xiyao hurriedly led others to greet her.

"Today's family banquet, there is no need to see outsiders." Zong Zhengming waved his hands, and after Mu Xiting had also saluted, he and Zong Zhenglin went first.

Mu Xiyao listened to the two of them talking about serious business, so she kept a distance from the other female relatives and walked a few steps behind.

"Is there something bothering you?" Mu Xiyao stared at Mu Xiting who was beside her with a worried expression, her brows raised high. Is this being bullied again?

Mu Xiting was recalling His Royal Highness's expression just now, but was terrified by Mu Xiyao's sudden question. "No, nothing."

Seeing her panicked, Mu Xiyao frowned. How to live more and come back? Although it was not smart before, it was at least proper. Can't even be calm now?

"If you have any difficulties, tell His Highness the Fifth Highness." It seemed that Zong Zhengming was still kind to her.

Mu Xiting felt bitter in her heart. "Yes, sister remembers."

Seeing that she clearly had something to do but was unwilling to say it, Mu Xiyao didn't force her. Who doesn't have a secret, don't mention it.

Mu Xiting looked at her back, her heart was in a mess. His Highness stayed in her room last night and asked his father about his visit to Beijing. He also specifically explained that he would accompany her over this morning. If it were not for other reasons, she would have been so happy that she could not sleep at night.

The woman was quite right, she was nothing more than a consolation she could not have asked for.

On the one hand, there is her sister-in-law who has taken care of her since she was a child, and on the other is her beloved husband, Mu Xiting is flustered and distressed. If it was someone else, she would never make her feel so uncomfortable. Even if other women in the mansion steal the favor, she can still feel at ease. But why is it Mu Xiyao?

People's minds are sometimes weird. Mu Xiting happened to fall into this vicious circle, and was gradually guided by people with good intentions, and fell into the schemes of others.

"Use the soup first." Zong Zhenglin saw Mu Xiyao staring at the ginger fish slices, and asked someone to put stewed bamboo shoots in front of her. When this woman is greedy, she has no restraint. Where is the reserve of a lady from a family?

Mu Xiyao pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed to make a fuss in front of outsiders, so she could only honestly use the soup first.

Since Zong Zhengming said it was a family banquet, everyone sat down at the same table. At this moment, seeing His Highness the Sixth Highness skillfully delivering the duck with cordyceps sauce to Mu Xiyao's bowl, even Mrs. Mu couldn't help but be surprised.

Is this... Is it too much? Yu Shi saw that the two of them were very at ease, without any embarrassment and awkwardness, it was obvious that they were used to this in the past, and she was very happy. His Highness loves his little daughter so much that a mother can always rest assured.

After the meal, Mu Xiyao was satisfied, and the whole family lived in harmony.

After rinsing her mouth and drinking tea, Mu Xiyao began to feel sleepy.

"I'm not in a hurry to go back to the mansion. I'll take a lunch break." Zong Zhenglin saw that she was holding a teacup and didn't talk much, and she was obediently sitting with her, so he knew that the woman was sleepy. When Mu Xiyao was awake, she never idled for a moment, except for flipping through books.

After hearing Zong Zhenglin's words, Mu Xiyao cheered up and bid farewell to everyone present. He took two steps while supporting Mo Lan, when he suddenly exclaimed and fell to the side.

Mo Lan was so frightened that she grabbed her arm, but Mu Xiyao's weight made her unsteady.

While Mu Xiyao was in a panic, someone held her right waist, she caught a glimpse of the familiar fingers from the corner of her eye, she didn't care about anything, she grabbed the other person's skirt, barely holding her steady.

Just as he was still in shock, he suddenly found that his entire left shoulder was also firmly immobilized, unable to move.

Um? what happened?

"Is it okay?"

Hearing a gentle male voice above her head, Mu Xiyao instantly petrified, and only three words remained in her mind: "Fuck the wrong man!"
