Chapter 221 Precedence
Concubine Shu waved away the palace people, leaving only her mother and son to talk alone.
"Old Six! Drinking tea in such a muffled voice is intended to make people anxious, isn't it? You should give me a word, so that the mother and concubine can have a solid foundation in her heart."
Zong Zhenglin slowly put down the teacup, frowned and thought for a moment.
"Mother and concubine don't need to worry about this matter. The son will report to the emperor about the matter of leaving the mansion. As for the Su family, I already know, mother and concubine can rest assured."
Concubine Shu looked at him silently for a while, what is the difference between saying this and not saying it? Especially Zong Zhenglin's indifferent attitude made people angry.
"I can't explain it to you. Tell Mu girl to come into the palace some time. Although that girl is making a fuss, she still knows how to behave." After hitting a soft nail with Zong Zhenglin, Concubine Shu thought that Mu Xiyao should be very happy. easy to talk.
"Mu's body is injured, so it's inconvenient to come to the palace. Please forgive me. My son let Helian's go to the palace, do you think it's okay?" Let Mu Xiyao enter the palace? Zong Zhenglin declined without even thinking about it.
Concubine Shu wanted Mu Xiyao to be more virtuous, so she could share her favor with her. Regardless of whether Mu Xiyao, the troublemaker, would honestly agree, even he would never allow Mu Xiyao to play this trick.
Considering the injuries on Mu Xiyao's body, Concubine Shu is not willing to force her to do her best, so she can only give up resentfully. When Zong Zhenglin resigned, he repeatedly reminded him that he must not be the only one favored by Jiaofang, which would ruin the ancestral etiquette.
In Danruo Garden, Mu Xiyao "led" people so busy that they never touched the ground. Because she is used to using too many objects, big and small, soft pillows of various colors are more than two hands. In addition, he loves to dress up, and Zong Zhenglin doesn't care about spending money on her, so there are more than a dozen boxes full of clothes, shoes and socks, so he picked out the best ones and took them away. For the rest, Mu Xiyao seldom wore them, so she simply took them as rewards, and the maids in Danruoyuan were overjoyed.
Based on such a rough calculation, she alone would not know how many carriages would fit in her luggage. Adding Zong Zhenglin's daily clothes and study utensils, Mu Xiyao's head is as big as a bucket. The most troublesome thing is that there are two small buns and some odds and ends. Mu Xiyao wailed, lying on the table and not planning to get up.
"Master, if you are tired, go and rest aside, His Highness will come over later. Seeing you like this, maybe I have to laugh at you again." Hui Lan supported her arm, and under Zhao Nanny's instigation, took Master It's best to coax them to the side.
It should be said that although the master didn't make any trouble, just looking at such an impatient person made people worry for her.
"What, are you tired?" Zong Zhenglin was still outside the door, and he heard Mu Xiyao muttering, complaining about trouble.
"Your Highness, my eyes are blurred, my head hurts, my waist is still sore, and I'm so tired. Would you like the chief steward to send a few people to serve as envoys for my concubine?" Mu Xiyao raised her arms and leaned softly in front of him, Signaling His Royal Highness, what she said is true.
Seeing her like this, Mother Zhao secretly laughed. The master sat comfortably all morning, except for deciding which clothes she would take as rewards, the rest of the time was mostly eating melon seeds, and ignored everything else. Just like that, when he saw His Highness, he still screamed aloud, he was indeed a noble person, and he was spoiled very delicately.
"Your Highness, the servants here are still busy. You can just take the master to rest." Zhao Mama was in Danruo Garden, except for the main master, her words still had some weight.
Zong Zhenglin nodded, untied the cloak and handed it to Ruo Lan, took her arm a few steps closer and put it down gently. Seeing that everyone in the house has errands, she is such a lazy person, not to mention helping, I'm afraid just sticking here is a trouble. He simply grabbed her waist, lifted her lightly, and led her to the back room.
"It would be nice if His Highness came earlier, to persuade the master to leave, and save the servants from being distracted."
"Keep your voice down, if you are heard by the master, be careful that you will be punished."
"What are you afraid of? My master is kind-hearted. He rarely fines people a monthly fee, let alone beat him."
"The words are reasonable. It's a pity that the master is too troublesome, and it always makes people feel uneasy."
"Little girl, you still haven't worked hard. Once the master leaves, the world will be turned upside down, won't it?"
"Nurse, you are also relieved. The servants looked at you, and you smiled."
The hall behind was bustling, and Mu Xiyao could not hear a word. Even the two orchids rebelled against the master, Mu Xiyao's small teeth were grinding.
Half of his body was still held in Zong Zhenglin's arms, and he twisted on it regardless. "Your Highness, tell me, when did the concubine make such a fuss and attract people's dislike? If the concubine refuses to obey, the monthly money will be deducted, and it will be punished! The little girl doesn't know what to do, and the concubine is such a kind-hearted master, she can't find her even with a lantern!"
Seeing that she was walking dishonestly, Zong Zhenglin narrowed his eyes, he didn't care about her babbling, and leaned over to hug him into the house, so as not to be pestered by her on the way.
"Your Highness, you also despise my concubine!" Mu Xiyao lightly tugged at his crown belt, and tied a slipknot with her evil intentions.
"Isn't that noisy? No one else is more mischievous than Jiaojiao." Zong Zhenglin chose the Arhat bed and sat down, put Mu Xiyao on his lap, pushed her little hand away, glanced at the slipknot, and picked her up. Mei looked at her.
"This...beautiful." Unable to bear the big boss's scrutiny, Mu Xiyao nuzzled into his arms, flattered her, and saw him facing the crown with her eyes, feeling very happy in her heart.
Zong Zhenglin was always neatly dressed in court clothes and crowns, exuding a sense of solemnity. It is changed and washed on weekdays, and it is also taken care of by a dedicated person, ironed and smoothed. Being teased by her today, she looks like a barbarian. That Yelu or something, isn't it just such a dress. It's a pity that Zong Zhenglin didn't have any stubble, and his face was too handsome to show roughness.
"Remove the crown." From Mu Xiyao's constantly blinking eyes, Zong Zhenglin had already read the meaning. This woman took a chance and dared to make fun of him, it's really hateful. Don't teach her a lesson, just let her go wild.
The palm gently caressed Mu Xiyao's waist, flirting with it a little bit, which made her unable to hold back her smile, slightly stained with tears.
"Go here, go now. Your Highness, please don't tickle my concubine." Mu Xiyao was afraid of tickles, and Zong Zhenglin caught her shortcoming and tortured her in a disguised form, forcing her to give in immediately and repeatedly begged for mercy.
After tidying up the unruly woman, Zong Zhenglin stared at her profile, his eyes slightly darkened.
"Jiaojiao, you lead the people for two days first. The main hall will arrive later." In order to submit a request for training in the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing, Zong Zhenglin had to make arrangements in advance. Where Emperor Yuan Cheng is, if he finds a random explanation, it is absolutely difficult to escape smoothly.
Mu Xiyao held the court official in her hands, and looked back into his eyes blankly.
"Your Highness, are you late?"
The big boss agreed to her going out alone for two days?
Mu Yaonv almost cheered, and finally suppressed her excitement with regret on her face. After letting go of the court official, he thrust himself into his arms crookedly, hugging his neck for a moment of intimacy.
"Jiaojiao is very happy." Zong Zhenglin was so shrewd, from her suddenly bright eyes, he could see through this woman's mind at a glance. "For two days, you are not allowed to leave the mansion. Yan Chengzhou guards the gate, Jiaojiao might as well give it a try."
Letting her leave first is already a last resort. This woman is good, she just pretends to be having fun, Zongzheng Linjun's face is covered with frost.
After leaving him, Mu Xiyao was overjoyed. It's really not easy to make this white-eyed wolf feel a little bit reluctant. How did he meet such an odd number...
Mu Xiyao suddenly withdrew from his embrace, her small mouth pouted. "Your Highness, you don't want my concubine to go out for fun just for fun. Have you forgotten the Yunyang Haizi you promised?"
"This hall handles government affairs in the mansion, but Jiaojiao is talking about it, what fun is there? Haizi and his party, postpone it for now. When did this hall not fulfill the promise you made?"
Boss, are you really sorry for what you said? When you coaxed your concubine to have sex, which time did you not break your promise? If I didn't know that you are good at counting, I would think that you are not counting smoothly...
"Your Highness, you are busy with government affairs, how could you be tripped? Where can't you review documents?" Mu Xiyao was puzzled. Since Zong Zhenglin said this, there was a reason for the incident. Such a two-day delay is either a political matter or being restrained by others. Except for Emperor Yuan Cheng, I am afraid that only one person can make him give in willingly and find a way to go around secretly.
"Your Highness, but what did the concubine mother say?"
