Chapter 244 Demon Stone

Zong Zhenglin fulfilled his promise neatly. Mu Xiyao listened to Hui Lan's orderly reporting of the matter one by one, propped her head on one hand, and blinked her eyes in approval.

"His Highness specially took the wife's connection case and went to the Royal Hospital. Today, I asked Mr. Wei to send a newly prescribed prescription. At the moment, Mammy is guarding the small kitchen to prepare the medicine."

"My lord Wei said that the young master was called by Master Yuan to the school grounds for two hours of hard training yesterday afternoon. He also said that in the next two months, apart from training for battles, the young master will have to study the art of war and learn the semaphore after receiving the military order. "

Sure enough, it was Zong Zhenglin's method. Taking advantage of Mu Jinzhi's love of martial arts and dislike of literature, he sent Yuan Qizhao, whom he admired so much, to give orders. Now her brother must have no intention of paying attention. Mu Xiyao nodded, the Sixth Highness wants to deal with people, it's not easy.

"As for my son-in-law," Mu Xiyao glanced at her, and Mo Lan quickly changed her words, "As for Master Liang, His Highness has sent someone to Fuzhou, and the Liang family will return to Beijing soon."

oh? Is Zong Zhenglin planning to put people under his nose, and use his power to bully them openly? Not a bad idea. If the person surnamed Liang is in Shengjing, there is no need to bother Zong Zhenglin to make a move. She has plenty of ways to deal with this man who is different and wants to change all day long.

"Wei Zhen said all this?" When Wei Zhen arrived, she was still sleeping soundly in the wing. By the time she got up, Mr. Wei was already busy with his errands. I wanted to ask more questions, but now I can only wait for the next time I meet someone.

"Yes. Lord Wei also said that His Royal Highness has been busy with political affairs for the past two days, and **** was summoned by the emperor to discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room. She will only rest when she is ugly for three consecutive days. Even if she is resettled, she will rest in the palace nearby. Even the Prince's Mansion And never went back."

"That's it." Mu Xiyao tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then looked at the courtyard outside where the sun was shining, thinking that she had to show something.

Sixth Highness's temper, if you don't respond for a day, you will be arrogant and suspicious that you don't take him seriously...

"Master," Mo Lan hesitated as if she didn't know how to speak, Mu Xiyao raised her brows, signaling that it's okay for her to speak directly. "Your Majesty Wei has sent a message to your servants in private." Moving closer, Mo Lan deliberately lowered her voice, "The emperor pointed out two maids to each of the princes, who are dedicated to serve His Highness in daily life and meals in the palace. .”

Mu Xiyao's eyelashes fluttered twice, she pursed her lips and took the melon seeds from the fruit plate, knocking them loudly.

"Wherever a man goes, there are people waiting on him." His tone was full of envy.

Mo Lan stood up straight, yes, it was a waste of effort to tell the master this. The thought in this mind, these servants like them, have never understood it.

"Auntie Gui, please bring Chengqing over here. Wear a pocket so as not to stain your clothes." With her son messing around, His Highness the Sixth Prince should be satisfied, right?

Mu Xiyao took her son to play vigorously in the garden of Mu's mansion while Yu was resting in bed. However, Zong Zhenglin lost his temper in the Ministry of War.

"How, how long do you guys want to delay the decision on the military construction department's deployment?" With a gloomy face, Zong Zhenglin stood in front of the window against the light, waiting to see how the group of people who looked down would answer.

"Your Highness, does it seem too early to deploy troops to the Military Construction Division at this time?" The troops stationed in the three states have already been deployed. At this time, His Highness the Sixth Highness suggested that the Military Construction Division is available. Such a hasty deployment of troops will only consume food and grass, and empty military pay.

Zong Zhenglin swept across a group of old officials with his hands behind his back, and frowned even tighter. The Great Wei sent troops not only to clear up the turmoil in the three prefectures of Muyunlu. This time the army is raised, but it has the meaning of conquest. If the battlefield expands to the northern imperial court, it is obviously inappropriate for the garrison to stay away from the state capital. And the training of the garrison is quite different from that of the Military Construction Department.

The barbarians in Mobei have strong soldiers and strong horses, mainly cavalry. Most of the garrison drills are crossbowmen and infantry, and most rely on catapult bows and crossbows. In terms of conquest, it is not the best choice.

On the other hand, the Military Construction Division not only trained elite cavalry, but also had many chariots and a battalion of heavily armed infantry. As long as the supply of food and grass is strong, the two armies will face each other, and the advantage will be even more obvious.

Zong Zhenglin stroked his fingers, and swept across most of the senior ministers below, he didn't understand that most of the people in front of him were over half a hundred years old, and all they wanted was to retire safely and take care of themselves.

"This matter will be ignored, and the fighter will be delayed. Who will be responsible?"

With a question, the officials fell silent immediately.

Zong Zhenglin glanced coldly, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. "Before tomorrow's application of time, those who still have objections to the transfer of troops should submit a memorial, and this hall will personally submit it for you and others."

As soon as His Royal Highness said this, the people below understood that this confrontation was over. The report before the imperial court is not just to evade the past at will. If you can't tell a trick, you will be charged with beheading. The emperor now attaches great importance to Mo Beibei, if anyone dares to have selfishness in this matter and only wants to be safe, it will be a matter of time before he is dismissed from office and questioned.

Zong Zhenglin forcefully suppressed a group of veteran officials, turned around and left the Ministry of War, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to discuss matters of the Fifth Dynasty.

"Your Highness has such a tough posture, so you are not afraid of losing people's hearts and reputation?" Wu Chao made tea himself, and took advantage of this gap to find a topic.

Zong Zhenglin took the chessboard and placed it on the desk, but the words he said were quite meaningful.

"The side concubine of this hall loves to mess with potted plants. Usually, she prunes and tidies up, and her skills are only considered to be top-notch. If she is disliked by others and cuts too irregularly, she simply breaks all the rules of a green plant and recreates it according to her own ideas. came."

Mu Xiyao has always been quite insightful when it comes to matters in which she can decide. Wanting to make that woman stick to the rules and obediently follow the example of others is tantamount to asking for trouble.

"Your Highness, I put potted plants in my concubine's garden. I love it no matter what I look at. Even if I am interested, I want to show off my concubine's unique vision. I would be happy to give my concubine a bamboo hairpin of Xiangfei bamboo hairpin. of what?"

That day, Zong Zhenglin just made fun of him, so Mu Xiyao was scratched with his little paws, making a fool of himself.

On the fifth day, he poured tea for him with a chuckle, took a cup for himself, and picked up a chess piece in the other hand.

"Your Highness and side concubine are very similar in many ways. Both of you are very thoughtful people."

"This hall believes that this is Mr. Approval."

On the fifth day, he coughed lightly and shook his head helplessly. Where there is praise, it clearly means that these two have their own domineering moments. Forced to distort the meaning by His Highness the Sixth Prince, Wu Chao smiled and focused on the chess game.

The two started the game only for a moment, Wei Zhen entered the room with a serious face, holding a porcelain jar.

"Your Highness, the side concubine took Chengqing little master and made a special gift, saying it is for you to amuse yourself."

When Master Yao handed over the porcelain pot to him, he had a cunning smile on his face. That appearance made him tremble.

He secretly glanced at the thing inside, why did he only feel that it was...unfathomable? Fortunately, the master didn't appreciate his hard work on errands and even gave him a reward. Otherwise, if he took this thing back, he wouldn't be happy if he thought about it.

"Oh?" Wu Chao raised his head, visibly excited. "It's the first time I've met my side concubine to give me a gift since I entered the mansion. If it's all right, can I let you take a look?"

Zong Zhenglin raised his brows high and looked at the porcelain pot with two eyes.

"Why not?" Then he asked Wei Zhen to present it.

Wei Zhen acted according to orders, only hesitating in her heart, and she didn't give His Highness a warning in advance, if the husband saw the joke later... it shouldn't be his business, right?

Slowly uncovering the red silk covering the surface of the porcelain jar, Zong Zhenglin froze, and carefully looked at the contents inside repeatedly.

"What do you mean by this?" Not only the Sixth Highness was confused, but even the Fifth Dynasty was also confused.

"This concubine took Chengqing, the young master, to play in the courtyard. She originally planned to present the new rare camellia from the Mu family to His Highness. Who would have thought that the young master was dissatisfied when he arrived in the courtyard, and he just complained and refused to send flowers Hastily made such a fuss that the side concubine supported her forehead and yelled that she had a headache."

On the fifth day, he let out a muffled laugh. From this point of view, it was his oversight just now. There are more than two people, His Highness's family is very thoughtful.

"The side concubine couldn't stand the little master's pestering, so she speculated for a long time, and finally pointed someone to pry the rockery and smashed a piece of gravel."

Zong Zhenglin looked at the shapeless stone in the porcelain jar, which was only two fist-sized stones, and suddenly felt that Wei Zhen's next words might not be pleasant to listen to.

Sure enough, Commander Wei replied in a trembling voice, "The side concubine coaxed the little master and said, if you give this thing to Your Highness, water and fertilize the bed, within a year, the little master's favorite will surely come out of it." That monkey doll."

Zong Zhenglin's breathing was stagnant, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he glanced at the most common gravel.

Very well, that woman Mu Xiyao even used coaxing to stop his son from making noise.

Watering and fertilizing the rocks, and making a monkey... Is this how to make fun of him?

"Why is a monkey jumping out?" Wu Chao was puzzled. Seeing His Highness's expression, he seems to be very angry?

"That's the story that the side concubine master told the little master. It is said that there is a hairy monkey that is capable of all things, and can do anything from heaven to earth. He likes to eat goblins the most, and beats all goblins to flee when they hear the wind with a stick. stern."

Zong Zhenglin pulled up the red silk and covered the porcelain jar, and handed it to Wei Zhen with a blank expression. Afterwards, he didn't say a word and just focused on playing chess.

The fifth one shook his shoulders, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

Excellent, the most insightful person in His Highness's house is that one.

"Your Highness, how will Your Highness plan to compensate your son for beating the goblin monkey in a year's time?" After seeing His Highness's jokes, Fifth Chao was so happy that he suddenly became lighthearted.

Zong Zhenglin tapped with his fingertips, and the chess pieces settled down.

"Take care of the goblins first, and the monkeys will get rid of it naturally."

If this woman doesn't make waves every day, will she live a restless life? He is a goblin himself, and he is willing to create a monkey. It was because she was so heartless that she became food for others.

food……

Thinking of this, Zong Zhenglin's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked at the porcelain jar, he slowly smiled.

The little girl's mind was originally so twisted and twisted, so it needs to be interpreted in this way.

Even if she became the omnipotent monkey who went up to the sky and entered the earth in her mouth, it seemed that she couldn't bear it.

"Put it away and put it on the Eight Treasures Pavilion in the study." Zong Zhenglin was in a good mood as he retreated from Wei Zhen.

"His Highness Guan looks very good, should he finally figure it out?" These two ordinary gift-giving were actually a battle of wits and courage, with several twists and turns.

"Of course. It's her playing tricks, just making Mr. jokes." Zong Zhenglin smiled, but didn't explain too much.

That woman probably got the news, and she didn't like to see him "nuggle up to the fragrance and lean on the emerald green" in the palace.

Is this a way of urging him to go back and "receive the goblin"? His Highness the Sixth Highness's mind was turbulent, and it was very useful.

More than half an hour ago, Mu Mansion.

"Master, if you send a stone, won't His Highness be angry?"

"Don't underestimate this stone. Your Highness will definitely return within two days."

Her stone is only for "monkeys".

Mu Yaonv laughed at Yan Yan, thinking she was proud of herself. Only when His Highness the Sixth Highness returns to the mansion and collects demons in private, will he know why he is beating a stone with an egg and binding himself in a cocoon...
