The Beloved Imperial Consort

The fourth imperial concubine was talking to concubine Shu about interesting stories about the children in the mansion, but it was reported outside the door that concubine Mu Cian came to pay her respects.

This was Mu Xiyao's first visit to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Shu. A few days ago, she had inquired about Concubine Shu's preferences from Zong Zhenglin, and today she came to please her mother-in-law. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Concubine Shu sitting at the top, next to him was the fourth concubine, and there was another woman standing behind him, who should be the side concubine.

Mu Xiyao was smiling all over her face, and politely greeted the three of them, but was invited by Concubine Shu to sit on the other side.

Mu Xiyao looked at the side concubine who was standing, and sat down generously after a moment of hesitation. Pregnant women are always given preferential treatment. Not acknowledging her birth at all, Mu Xiyao smiled and asked Mo Lan to take the meeting gift, and apologized to the fourth concubine embarrassingly, "Fourth sister-in-law, I don't know that you came to my mother's place today, and you didn't bring the one specially prepared for you. Son. Look, if I turn around, I will have someone send you to your house, okay?" The eyelashes blinked, they were so pretty, and it made Concubine Shu laugh.

Mu Xiyao opened the box in her hand, "Your Majesty, I heard from Your Highness that you love vanilla very much. I made a complete set of accessories and brought them to you. Do you like them?" The neat jewelry was held in front of Concubine Shu.

The look of anticipation on her face made Concubine Shu take the box before she had time to think about it. When other people came to her, whoever served her carefully, this Concubine Mu was very affectionate.

Looking at the set of twelve pieces of jewelry pinned on the water blue background, all of them are glittering gold, very beautiful. The collocation of vanilla is also quite particular, from the bud earrings to the full-blown waffles, all gestures are vivid and extravagant. Surprisingly, the box is also scented with vanilla flowers, which is very pleasant, and even the jewelry is also stained with a faint fragrance, which lingers slightly.

The women were very pleasantly surprised, they chattered and praised for a long while, and then got dizzy by Mu Xiyao, and chatted in one place after a while. While talking, Mu Xiyao suddenly acted like a spoiled concubine to Concubine Shu, "Madam, your grandson is hungry, can I help her get some snacks?"

Concubine Shu covered her silk handkerchief and laughed at her shamelessness, begging for snacks through children. Mu Xiyao immediately filed a complaint, saying that His Highness the Sixth Highness decided not to let garlic be served in the family's meals because his son didn't like the smell of garlic.

A roomful of women suddenly fell down laughing. I didn't expect that His Highness the Sixth Highness, who usually has a straight face, would be so narrow-minded.

Concubine Shu even thought of Zong Zhenglin when she was a child, a little bit big villain, frowning and complaining not to touch the garlic-flavored mutton, she was filled with emotion for a while.

For a long time, the child never showed such emotion again. Seeing that Mu's eyes were full of smiles, Zong Zhenglin was used as a target, and he was eating happily, so he also laughed. This one has a broad heart and a fat body, without those twists and turns, no wonder the sixth child is doting on him.

When Zong Zhenglin came in, he saw Mu Xiyao holding Concubine Shu's arm familiarly, enthusiastically praising the crispness and authenticity of the palace, and her small mouth never stopped.

Zong Zhenglin greeted Concubine Shu first, and then greeted each other. Sitting down and taking a sip of tea, she saw Mu Xiyao stretching her small hand into the dessert plate again. Regardless of the presence of other people, he frowned, "What number is this?"

Everyone else in the hall fell silent in surprise, only Mu Xiyao muttered with a guilty conscience, "Your Highness, don't keep staring at my concubine's dim sum?" It was aggrieved like that.

Concubine Shu didn't understand, "What's the matter? If you like to eat, just get a few more dollars." As she said that, she asked someone to pick it up for her.

"Mother Concubine, the imperial doctor does not let her eat too much sweets, saying that if she accumulates too much and the child grows too big, it will not be conducive to childbirth." Zong Zhenglin stared at Mu Xiyao seriously, but spoke to Shu The concubine said.

"You child, the imperial doctor has already said, be obedient. It is a big deal for this woman to have a child, and she can't be careless." Concubine Shu looked at Mu Xiyao amusedly, not willing to be controlled by Zong Zhenglin, she was just a child . Thinking about how young she is, only fifteen years old, she felt that this was just right. Hurry up and ask someone to put away the plate, so as not to make her miss it.

Mu Xiyao saw Zong Zhenglin was here, so don't try to pester her today, relying on Concubine Shu's coquettish flattery, "Next time I come, the empress will prepare better." The pitiful look with watery eyes made Zong Zheng Lin's face twitched. Concubine Shu patted her little hands, and smiled.

After drinking tea, Zong Zhenglin saw that the time was about the same, so he got up to say goodbye, and took Mu Xiyao back. Mu Xiyao looked back as she walked, happily sharing her pets, "My concubine will bring you those two fat rabbits next time." Before she could finish speaking, Zong Zhenglin pulled her over and turned her head away , "It's good to see the way!"

"Your Highness, please slow down, my legs are numb." The two walked further and further away as they talked.

Concubine Shu and the fourth concubine looked at each other and sighed, finally there is someone who can make the sixth child look different, this really hits the spot. The side concubine who was serving at the side sighed silently. His Highness the Sixth Highness doted on that one, unlike himself, who was dispensable in the mansion. If he hadn't given birth to the only son of His Highness the Fourth Highness, he might not know where he is now.

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

"Very happy?" The man in front slowed down, with an expression of no strangers in the palace. Pretending to be real, Mu Xiyao curled her lips.

"Yeah. The lady is very nice, I don't think I'm a high-ranking lady." Mu Xiyao said it bluntly.

Zong Zhenglin is funny, her mother and concubine are somehow related to Gao Gaoshang, but he himself has never been considered unusual by little women. Zong Zhenglin was also puzzled by this point, the other women looked at him cautiously, for fear of offending His Highness the Sixth Highness. She is fine, provoking provocations is commonplace. But that's why I feel comfortable with her.

"Before you came, you were afraid that your mother and concubine would be too strict. Why haven't you ever been afraid of this hall?" Zong Zhenglin still asked.

"The concubine has done nothing wrong, so why should I be afraid of His Highness? Besides, even if there is a mistake, His Highness can take care of the concubine only after giving birth to a child." It was only natural for her to look confident.

Zong Zhenglin was annoyed by her. It turned out that the little girl was planning on this. Unable to see how proud she was with her upturned nose, she added coolly, "After giving birth, this palace will have plenty of time to take care of you." The tone was very firm.

Mu Xiyao froze, forgetting herself for a moment, forgetting to hang out in the prince's mansion, she always had to pay it back. With a bitter face, he dawdled behind, thinking about how to coax the big boss well, so that he would forget about his presumptuousness.

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

The two returned to Danruoyuan, but they didn't want Mrs. Zhang to wait outside, followed by a girl with a bundle in her hand.

"My servant greets His Royal Highness's side concubine." Mrs. Zhang bowed her knees and saluted politely, waiting for the two to shout.

Mu Xiyao yelled kindly, and asked Zhang's room to talk. Zong Zhenglin still sat silently.

"What's the matter with you?" Mu Xiyao began to speculate on Zhang's plan. This woman is also considered smart, but she doesn't have the city of Tang Yiru. The Zhang family has not been adopted by Zong Zhenglin since he entered the mansion, but he also stayed in the backyard peacefully, and nothing happened. In her previous life, she gave birth to a daughter for Zong Zhenglin, but she died before she grew up. In the end, he is a noble person, as an old man in the mansion, his status is very embarrassing.

"If you go back to the concubine, the servants made some small objects when they were free, and used them to honor the concubine." The attitude was quite respectful.

It was the first time Mu Xiyao heard someone say "filial piety", and felt awkward. On the surface, he was very talkative, accepted the gift with a smile, and even praised a few words.

Zong Zhenglin didn't expect that the silent Zhang would come to curry favor with Mu Xiyao, but he didn't care. It's just a concubine, as long as the little girl likes it, she can do whatever she wants. If Mrs. Zhang knows how to behave and keep a sense of proportion, she should take care of her a little bit more. The concubine in the backyard is really dispensable to him.

After giving away the needlework she made by herself, Mrs. Zhang didn't hesitate, and took the girl back to Zhuyin Hall.

"Master, you are begging the side concubine now, but you don't know if the side concubine will accept it or not. In the future, the first concubine will be the one who can't be tolerated. If you also hate you, what should you do?" Is it okay?" Zhang's girl was very worried.

"It's all like this now, what are you talking about in the future? I think the Mu family has a way to suppress the Tang family, who was also a concubine at the time, and has not been close to His Highness. It is not a good match. Such a People, as long as there are no major mistakes and heirs are around, it is still worth the gamble."
