Chapter 22 Entering the Mansion
Mu Xiyao had fun, but she was also a little tired. After washing up early, I lie on the bed, thinking about what happened today.
Mu Xiyao was very helpless to be intercepted by Zong Zhenglin today. In fact, what she didn't know was that Zong Zhenglin originally planned to intercept her halfway, and then take her into Shengjing Academy by virtue of his status as a prince. Since she wanted to join in the fun, of course Zong Zhenglin had to put people under his nose and protect them. In this way, he not only knows her new tricks, but also saves her from the bad game of grabbing famous brands. Who knew that Mu Xiyao was unwilling to be unilaterally reprimanded by Zong Zhenglin, and played too much, after that, neither of them could go to the academy anymore, so they had to give up.
Mu Xiyao is in the courtyard now, but her mind is turning around vigorously. Mu Xiyao's plan for the banquet of the ten princes is very big. Not only for Zong Zhenglin's superior position, but also for the prosperity of Qingzhou Mu's family.
If there are no mistakes, Emperor Yuan Cheng will order the eldest prince Zongzheng Chun to lead his troops to the north in two years to end the chaos in Mobei that lasted for more than ten years. The war in Mobei lasted for two and a half years, and it was not until the sixteenth year of Zhanghe that there was no peace talk about withdrawing troops. After the war, the Mobei imperial court promised to withdraw from the three prefectures of Jing, Yun, and Mu, and not to violate the territory within a hundred years. Many famous generals in the later period of Emperor Yuan Cheng stood out in this battle.
Among them, the most famous ones were Yuan Qizhao, who was only 24 years old, and was awarded the first-rank Dingwei general, and Ye Huaiwen, who was only 22 years old, and the second-rank vice-dutong. These two people are also invincible in terms of record, but they have very different styles when it comes to marching troops. The former is famous for his frontal charge and unparalleled battle formation; the latter is famous for his behind-the-scenes tricks and deceitful tactics.
Moreover, the two not only rose up suddenly in the Mobei War, but also shined brilliantly in the Western Expedition during the Yanguang reign of Zongzheng Lin, and were known as the Double Brilliance of the Great Wei. Calculated now, both of them are very likely to be from this year's Ten Young Masters Banquet! What's more, Mu Xiyao's eldest brother, Mu Jinzhi, will definitely participate in the Mobei War. How can you get more rewards if you don't plan well in advance?
It's a pity that the banquet of the ten sons has already been missed, and it is impossible to get to know each other in private. Now Zhao Qing can only ask for information, and we will plan later.
The next day, when Zhao Qing heard that the errand ordered by Mu Xiyao was that ten son with a head as big as a bucket, he felt that His Highness was too relieved yesterday.
There is another story about this matter, you just need to find out the details of the ten sons, and don't reveal your identity. Mu Xiyao explained very seriously.
Zhao Qing saw that the young lady's expression was very different from usual, so she knew that this matter was different. The last time Miss spent such a lot of trouble, she calculated those who were the most powerful. This time, I don't know who it is, so that even though His Royal Highness hinders the young lady, she still wants to take risks. I have some expectations in my heart.
Three days later, Zhao Qing brought back the news. The more Mu Xiyao watched, the more excited she became. Yuan Qizhao and Ye Huaiwen are among them, and Gong Shuyang is added! This Gong Shuyang is really amazing, he is actually the chief of the ten sons this year. Gong Shuyang studied literature and became an official through the imperial examination. One can tell the talent of this person, Gong Shuyang is a Zhengyipin Diange University scholar in the middle of Zong Zhenglin's administration! How can such a fine material and beautiful jade be let go?
These three people are only gaining fame now, no one knows what they will achieve in the future, if they don't accept them now, when will they wait? After circled these names, Mu Xiyao planned for two days before repeatedly telling Zhao Qing secretly, telling him to be careful and remember to be eager for success. Mu Xiyao had already confirmed that Zong Zhenglin had arranged someone beside her, so she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
In the carriage back home yesterday, Zong Zhenglin had already said, Be good for the next few days, wait for him to come to greet you, and Mu Xiyao completely stopped. For the welcome that Zong Zhenglin promised, Mu Xiyao didn't pay attention at all, which is a pity for His Royal Highness's kindness.
The date of leaving the pavilion is getting closer, and Mu Xiyao often stays with Yu Shi, and also talks to Mu Xiting, getting a little bit of news about the Fifth Prince's Mansion. He also wrote two letters, greeting Mu Jingzhen and telling Mu Jinzhi about Zhao Qing's future. The rest of the time is spent feeding rabbits, drawing patterns, looking at Jiayifang's account books, practicing calligraphy and painting, playing the piano and reading books.
What Mu Xiyao is most concerned about now is Tang Yiru who is also accused of being a concubine. Mu Xiyao was very curious about the change in the election time. Thinking about Tang Yiru again, the last life was truly glorious.
Tang Yiru entered the mansion as a concubine. Later, because she had the second son and three daughters of Zong Zhenglin, she was promoted to a side concubine, which was recorded in the imperial jade certificate. After Zong Zhenglin ascended the throne, Tang Yiru was conferred the title of first-rank virtuous concubine. Zong Zhenglin once praised the virtuous concubine as benevolent with a heart and a good heart. Until Mu Xiyao was reborn, Tang Yiru was still one of the most favored concubines in Zong Zhenglin's harem. The only funny thing is that Concubine Tang Xian and Concubine Jiang Shu, the side concubine Jiang from the previous life, Jiang's pinting, are deadly rivals. The eldest son born by Concubine Gain Shu and the second son born by Concubine Xian are incompatible. It's a pity that Mu Xiyao was too powerful. In this life, Concubine Jiang Shu was slapped away before she entered the mansion, but she helped Tang Yiru a lot.
As for Zong Zhenglin's so-called doting in his previous life, Mu Xiyao scoffed. The man who hadn't opened his orifices in his previous life was at most idle to tease the harem. She, Mu Xiyao, still despised this kind of careless favor. Her goal is to be arrogant without any worries, and her requirements are very high~~
In the eleventh year of Emperor Zhanghe of Yuancheng, on the fifth day of September, it is appropriate to marry.
When most of the famous families in Shengjing thought that His Royal Highness Zong Zhenglin would not care about the affairs of the backyard again, things took an unimaginable change.
When Fang Shen was in charge, His Highness the Sixth Highness headed for the mansion with a neat guard of honor for the prince. Greeted the concubine Mu Shi personally, escorted her all the way to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and brought Mu Shi through the main entrance.
Once this matter was publicized, it caused shock in Shengjing. All the rich and powerful families set their sights on the Mu family in Qingzhou. It even alarmed Emperor Yuan Cheng and Concubine Shu.
But Mu Xiyao arrived at the mansion, half an hour before Nali. Zong Zhenglin ordered Tian Fushan to place snacks and refreshments, soft couch and cool chairs in the compartment of the wedding hall for her to take a rest for a while. But he went to the front yard to entertain guests.
Mu Xiyao asked Mo Lan very puzzled, Is this a concubine gift? It seemed to be different from what Yu said. Well, Mu Xiyao has never paid attention to these red tapes, and has only a half-knowledge about them.
Mo Lan was not sure, and answered honestly, It seems to be different from what Madam explained yesterday.
Madam Zhao, the steward of Danruoyuan who was waiting on the sidelines, saw that the master and servant were really confused, so she stepped forward to answer respectfully, Master, the servant is in charge of Danruoyuan. Today's greeting, except that there is no previous Make a decision, Your Highness requests that all actions should be performed according to concubine etiquette. After finishing speaking, she stepped back very politely. It is very clear in my heart that His Highness values this concubine Mu Shu very much for being polite to this one.
Only then did the two understand the meaning. Mu Xiyao nodded, thanked Zhao Nanny, and gave a meeting gift.
Mo Lan was clever, knowing the position of the nanny in charge of the Prince's Mansion, she pulled Hui Lan forward to thank her and saluted. Afterwards, he served Mu Xiyao with some snacks, stuffed his belly, ate some tea, and rested on the soft couch. But he was very happy in his heart, His Highness treated his master very well.
When the time came, everyone packed up, helped Mu Xiyao to the wedding hall, and stood two steps in front of His Royal Highness Zong Zhenglin. At this time, Zong Zhenglin had already sat on the head with a solemn expression. Through the hipa, we can see a pair of embroidered shoes on the other side, which should undoubtedly belong to the Tang family. Mu Xiyao respectfully saluted Zong Zhenglin, offered tea, and handed over the needlework handmade to complete the ceremony.
After being helped back to the wedding room in the main house of Danruo Garden, Mu Xiyao immediately lay on the couch and couldn't get up. Just let everyone change her clothes and headgear. When Zong Zhenglin came back from seeing off the guests in the front yard, he saw Mu Xiyao playing tricks on her happy handkerchief, coquettishly clamoring to take a bath.
Seeing His Highness coming in, Zhao Mama hurriedly bowed to salute, and then led everyone back.
Your Highness~~ Mu Xiyao called out sweetly under the hijab.
Tired? Zongzheng Lin said teasingly, I'm tired now, how can I be better later?
Your Highness, my concubine will be fine and comfortable after taking a bath. Facing Zong Zhenglin's teasing, Mu Xiyao did not show any weakness.
Zong Zhenglin laughed out loud, Let's have a look at this hall, what a good idea. Then he took off his hipa, and stared at the beauty under the lamp.
Mu Xiyao was not shy at all, she stretched out her arms, Hug, take a bath. She acted coquettishly, looking at Zong Zhenglin with bright eyes.
Zong Zhenglin was naturally happy to serve, and he was very satisfied with the beauty in his arms.
One way. He quickly removed the outer shirts of the two people and only had the inner clothes left, and carried them into the specially arranged Shuangyan Pond at the back of the main room.
