The Beloved Imperial Consort

"Hey, eat." The tall man casually threw a bowl of rice in front of Mu Xiyao. The dilapidated pottery bowl was shaken twice before it barely stopped. Mu Xiyao narrowed her eyes to look at the food on the table, looked up at the person coming, and sat motionless.

When she begs? Beg for food and bring a few rotten vegetable leaves, and when it arrives at her place, there will only be yellow rice mush left? Does this mean that she is not far from death, just hang on to her breath?

Up to now, Mu Xiyao is calm and calm. What can be done, she has already arranged it. Zong Zhenglin should be able to find him tonight. Once the boss arrives, what is she afraid of?

Thinking that someone would support her immediately, Mu Xiyao's courage rapidly swelled.

As the saying goes, heaven rewards hard work. She, Mu Xiyao, used her brain occasionally, worked diligently once, and unexpectedly got a big surprise. She was able to easily break the game this time, and it was a good move to plan ahead.

As for the woman in the prince's mansion, when she escapes, there are plenty of ways to deal with it.

Thinking of the Sixth Highness who hadn't seen her all night, Mu Xiyao made up her mind to cry to the boss. Let him see how wronged he has been for being with him. Is this something any individual can stand? What's more, she is still pregnant with Liujia.

Mu Xiyao was locked in the adobe room, complaining vigorously that she didn't sleep well last night. There was not even a soft pillow, and the hard earth kang made her back hurt. But he didn't know that His Highness the Sixth Highness of the Xiang Dynasty stayed up all night, and his thoughts were all about her figure. I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it physically, and I was afraid that she would ignore her petty temper and be bullied.

"Brother, I'm still used to hibiscus egg custard, three delicacies buns, shredded pork with sauce, and coral cabbage for breakfast. Please come to Juxian Tower and let Chef Yang make it yourself."

Want to use her? Then wait and talk. My aunt is upset!

Want Zong Zhenglin to know that without him, she can only eat rice paste pitifully and still not laugh out loud? The boss is already very arrogant, so he can't encourage his bad temper.

The strong man gave her a look like a crazy woman, and left without saying a word.

"Brother, the alley in the west of the city is only four streets away from Juxian Tower. Tell the steward, I can wait."

Surprise flashed in the strong man's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "Even if it's at the opposite door, it's just this bowl of rice today." After speaking, he slammed the door and locked it.

Is this woman out of her mind? After being taken captive for one night, not only did he sleep soundly, but he also didn't have the awareness of being a prisoner. Thought this was the Prince's Mansion, and everyone was at her command?

Mu Xiyao was imprisoned in a dilapidated dilapidated house, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. It felt right in the carriage last night, it really was the west of the city. The old houses in front of me should be in one of the two alleys of Ganxi and Shunlong. Looking at the style of this courtyard, there is no doubt that it must be dry. Really know how to pick a place, and you know that Xiaoyin lives in the city?

It's a pity that she is just looking for faults. If you make her unhappy, let's see who can't stabilize first.

"Have the food been delivered?" The middle-aged man was practicing boxing in the yard, and he was very powerful.

"Just sent it."

"She didn't make trouble?" According to the information, Mrs. Mu is definitely not an honest person.

"That woman..." The man repeated Mu Xiyao's words.

The middle-aged man stopped working hard. That woman was specifically instructed by the Lord to take good care of her and not to make mistakes.

Still guessing whether she is making things difficult for her to vent her anger, or if she has another purpose. Hearing Qin opera suddenly came out of her room, the crying sound was so pure, it was unspeakably sad.

The middle-aged man frowned. This woman still has time to sing in the early morning? Look at the locked door, just ignore it.

Except for the bustle of the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Ganxi Alley is usually deserted. Surrounded by poor families, they go out early to beg for a living. The two houses on the left and right were bought by the master, even if she shouted loudly, no one would answer her. When she has had enough trouble, she will naturally eat obediently.

Mu Xiyao sang seven or eight lines back and forth, upside down, and sang miserably, but it didn't bother her.

After a long while, scattered footsteps suddenly came from outside the small courtyard door.

"Open the door! Who's in there? My master heard someone singing Qin opera, and wants to invite you home to sit and sing." The courtyard door was slammed, and Mu Xiyao's mouth curled up when she heard it in the room.

The middle-aged man has an ugly face, how could anyone come to him?

Hearing the other party talk about singing again, he immediately understood Mu's plan. Quickly ask someone to unlock it to prevent her from continuing to do mischief.

When he entered the room, he saw Mu Xiyao posing in a decent manner, and she was singing happily.

With a gloomy face, the middle-aged man said sullenly, "The side concubine is trying to attract someone to ask for help? It depends on whether the other party has the ability." He didn't want to talk to her, and let her calm down when she was tired. But I don't think she is lucky enough to attract people here in this corner. Fortunately, this place is far away from the dignitaries, and the people outside the door will be driven away later.

"Didn't your master tell you that the concubine has been pampered and can't bear it? For example, now that the concubine is hungry, she is very unwilling to wrong herself. If there is no decent meal, the concubine doesn't have to open her voice early in the morning." Singing." Mu Xiyao put down her gesticulating hands, walked to the table and tapped the broken bowl with chopsticks.

"Didn't your lord think that the concubine is a stupid woman, and after a long time of tossing around, she attracted someone who can be dismissed casually?" Mu Xiyao patted the dining table and laughed out loud.

"On the first day of every month, the old lady of the Hou's Mansion in Xiangyang will go to the Temple of the City God to offer incense and pray. Afterwards, she will go to the nearby Jinghui Temple to listen to Master Ci'an's lectures and have a fast meal. The wife of Xiangyang Hou will go to the Jinghui Temple to pick up people on the first day of the second day of the lunar new year. Ganxi Alley is a must-pass. My concubine is in this quiet place, singing so long, it makes people cry, my lord said, would Mrs. Hou be very interested?"

Mu Xiyao smiled brightly. Don't there be rewards for singing? Her tip has already arrived. Madam Hou loves drama all her life, she is a complete drama idiot, especially for Qin opera. Every time I entertain my wife in the palace, as long as there is a troupe singing, I will hear them all from beginning to end, and I will never leave the banquet during the period.

This "Weishui" is Concubine Shu's favorite piece, she listened to it a few times, and only remembered the beginning.

The middle-aged man looked at her fiercely, his face extremely ugly.

If he is caught by the Hou Mansion at this time, he will lose everything if he acts. The assassination has already failed, and the Mu family can't make any mistakes.

This woman is very scheming, so she can't be careful. I also blame myself for being careless, not seeing through her tricks from the very beginning. Now it is in danger.

Mu Xiyao disliked pushing the pottery bowl away, so she asked him with a good temper, "Does your lord think about it? If you serve good food and good food, I'm not afraid to stay longer. After all, it's not honorable to go out like this, right?"

Zong Zhengming was locked in the next door and has not heard any movement. Maybe the person who administered the drug hit him too hard and he is not yet awake. If she rashly attracts people to rescue her, her reputation will definitely be lost. Mu Xiyao didn't want to be kicked out by the clan.

She has a more decent way to return home in style. There is no rush right now.

The people outside the door are still waiting, if they don't come out for a long time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. In the past few days, the whole city has been in turmoil, and the grass and trees are full of soldiers.

"The side concubine is really scheming." The middle-aged man sighed. No wonder the Lord said that this woman should not be ignored. Let him stumble early in the morning.

Mu Xiyao waited quietly as if she had never heard of it.

The biggest purpose of these thieves is to destroy the foundation of the royal family and damage the majesty of Emperor Yuancheng.

When exposed at this time, the thief cannot escape first. Zong Zhengming was naturally innocent. What was destroyed was her little pawn. As long as they are not forced too hard, middle-aged people will never dare to make decisions on their own and ruin major events.

She dared to attract people here, just to negotiate conditions and seek benefits. Don't think that she can be dismissed at will because she is locked up. As for whether it will force the thieves to jump over the wall in a hurry, Mu Xiyao thinks she can handle it well.

She is catching the people in front of her and not daring to make decisions without authorization, making a big fuss.

These traitors are very skilled in martial arts and very brave. But when it comes to conspiracy and cunning, Mu Xiyao is a few blocks behind.

"Adults don't have to worry about my concubine's rebellion. I only think about the children in my womb. Even if I can eat this meal, my children can't be treated like this. Besides, I really don't want to go out and ruin my innocence. If adults Yes, my concubine can help send people away." Mu Xiyao said with confidence.

This woman actually did this risky trick just to get a delicious meal? The middle-aged man was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped up. If he missed a big deal because of this meal, how would he explain to the Lord and the brothers?

"For the sake of reputation, the side concubine doesn't even care about her life?" Mrs. Mu is full of tricks, and the middle-aged man dare not take it lightly.

"A concubine cannot shame His Highness." Mu Xiyao's face was stunned, her expression was obsessed, and her eyes were full of affection.

The middle-aged man laughed at himself secretly, no matter how smart a woman is, she can't pass the **** test. It's worth it for His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince to pamper her, at least she will get a chaste and strong wife.

"If the side concubine is true to her word, it's okay for me to agree. I also hope that the side concubine will be careful and don't play with her life."

"Open the door!" The middle-aged man ordered while pinching her neck. If things change, she will be killed. As for the failure of the plan, he returned to Shuzhong to receive the punishment.

The third steward of Xiangyang Hou's Mansion led people into the small courtyard, only to see a little girl sweeping. Doesn't match the age of the singer.

"Who sang the song just now?" The third housekeeper flattered everyone in the house. Now when I come to the poor's house, I am arrogant and very rude. The little girl backed away again and again in fright, and waved her hands vigorously.

"Master butler, my man has gone to work at the lord's house. It was the woman who just hummed casually."

Mu Xiyao's voice was deep, she sounded like a woman in her twenties.

"I am the chief manager of the Marquis Mansion, Madam avoids seeing me, is it because I am afraid that I am a disciple and not a decent person?"

The voice came from the back room, but no one was there.

Mu Xiyao raised her eyebrows, a pariah? It's fun to scold. It's easier to get rid of this kind of villain.

"Master, the women are not yet out of the moon after giving birth, so there is no wind. The body is dirty, and I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of the master."

When the third housekeeper heard that it was a pregnant woman, he suddenly felt unlucky.

"You sang the song just now?"

"Yes. The woman was a third-class maid in the palace before, and she learned a few words from the master in the palace."

"Are you a court lady? How could you be so down and out?" The Sanguan family was surprised. It stands to reason that all the court ladies have saved their monthly silver, so it is not difficult to marry a better family.

"Here, my father likes to gamble, so..."

When the three officials heard it, yes, I understood. Now it seems that this person is a half-hearted one. What a joy. He flicked his sleeves, dusted off the ashes in distaste, and turned to leave.

Mu Xiyao turned her head to signal the person who choked her neck, the matter is done, did you keep your hand away?

Seeing her calm face, the middle-aged man slowly stopped. The woman answered just now, her pulse was not chaotic at all, it was too calm. If you want to fight her, you are not an opponent.

"As long as you eat and drink well, the side concubine will have nothing to do with it?"

It's a pity that we can't tie her up. With such a big belly, if an accident happens, it's not good for the Lord.

"Although the concubine is a woman, she knows that she must do what she says."

For the time being, I will eat and drink together, and when the Sixth Highness finds us, we will settle the matter slowly.
