"Yan Ji pays her respects to Wang Ji, Wang Ji please use the tea." Wang Ji Liu's Ying Ying bowed down, kowtowed to Mu Hanzhang, took the cups and lanterns handed over by the maids, and served them with both hands. A charming face but a low brow and not much expression.
Mu Hanzhang sip tea, rewarded her with a string of South Sea beads, to be received by her party called up.
"Slave servant kowtows to the princess, congratulations to the princess on her wedding day." The light and cheerful tone is very pleasing to the ear, Li is a concubine, can't call herself by her first name, she has to call herself a slave girl. However, she was originally a maid, this one slave girl said extremely smooth.
"Get up." Mu Hanzhang put down his tealight and rewarded Li with a pair of goldfinch chairs. Women's ornaments, his "dowry" naturally does not, the people of the Bei Wei Marquis House will not give him to buy, these are his biological mother secretly gave him the night before the wedding, for fear that he will be belittled by the concubines.
Mengxi looked at the princess so generous, originally waiting to see the joke of the heart only to converge down, and no wonder others say that marrying a commoner than marrying a first daughter is still worth money. The first daughter to get married can only get a dowry silver, the concubine son to get married is able to share the share of a family property.
Mu Hanzhang drooped his eyes, slowly said: "I am a man, in the future you do things and talk to be polite, morning and evening to set the province only need to come to ask for peace, the other does not need you to serve." Clear and moist voice is very nice, not slow rhythm but with an irresistible majesty.
The two of them were busy blessing themselves and answering yes, and Li also put away her playful face.
"If there's nothing else, go back." Mu Hanzhang said indifferently.
Liu Yanji glanced at Li, who rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that Madam hasn't come yet, so the slave girls will wait outside the door so that they can return to the West Garden together." The good show is not yet finished, but can't just leave.
Mu Hanzhang lowered eyes flashed a cold light, the women's bending and twisting made him vaguely impatient, just about to let them go to the side hall to wait, then heard a burst of women's laughter coming from outside the door, "Concubine has not seen the king's master like this over ......"
The sound is getting closer and closer, see Jing Shao first stepped in, his face vaguely has a smile, to see the people in the room, immediately cold face.
No wonder halfway across the side room had to go with him, but it turned out to be late to pay a visit to the Princess to take him as a front, concubines have arrived she has not yet arrived, this is to set the scene to who see? Originally because of talk with his brother in the afternoon and jumping mood, suddenly was Song Lingxin to stir up.
The change in Jing Shao's expression naturally fell into Mu Hanzhang's eyes, and he thought that this side room was really quite favored, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.
"Sisters are all here ah!" Song Lingxin, who was dressed in a brightly colored water-pink dress, said in mock surprise and walked over to Mu Hanzhang and blessed herself, "I hope that my brother will not be offended if I am late for sending the Imperial Concubine."
Brother ......
Mu Hanzhang heard this title only feel the forehead corner veins jumping, on the theory that the side room can be called the main wife "sister", but he is a man, it should be called "brother", but why does it sound so awkward?
"In the future, you'll still be called Wangfei, and you're not allowed to be called brother." Without waiting for the person in question to say anything, Jing Shao had already spoken first.
"Your Highness?" When Song heard this, she looked at Jing Shao accusingly, calling her brother was her privilege as a side room, and for the king to ask for this was to hit her in the face in front of the crown princess.
Jing Shao obviously did not notice her grievances, muttering in his heart this "brother" called as if he called his lover in general, how to listen to how to stick in the ear. Said also ignore the crowd's reaction, leaning on the soft couch, picked up the book Mu Hanzhang read half of the book to look at.
Song Lingxin was not amused, and had to obediently crouch down to give Mu Hanzhang a half salute, and toasted the tea. Mu Hanzhang gave her a pair of jade bracelets, the color and style are all top quality. Song's look, heart slightly surprised, secretly this North Marquis of Wei commoner son could be in the Marquis House is not rumored to be as unpopular?
Mu Hanyang may not care how these women think, admonished two sentences let them go back to the West Garden, although these concubines are good-looking, but Pepperland Lipstick are their husbands' women, think of it in the heart is very twisted, and then the beauty of the women can not be appreciated.
The house is finally quiet, Mu Hanzhang think face a moment of these women than read a whole day of books are still tired, see the book was Jing Shao grabbed, then let Lanxuan go to find another book.
"Young master, the Bishui Jing Note is in a big box in the storehouse, it's not easy to find it in the dark." Lan Xuan said with difficulty.
When the royal residence was built, naturally there would not be a study room for the "princess", he had many books, and only a few of them could be placed in the bedroom, and the rest were in the treasury.
Mu Hanzhang sighed lightly and waved his hand, "That's just it, go get a random book from the small box." This Lanxuan really can't speak, speaking so bluntly as if she had signaled her to complain in front of the king.
Jing Shao raised his head and saw his brows lightly furrowed, couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken: "No need to look for it, I'm just casually looking at it." Said reaching out to return the book to him, Mu Hanyang only had to walk over to take it, but unexpectedly was Jing Shao a pull to the soft couch.
Mu Hanyang was not on guard and was yanked onto Jing Shao's body, she instantly turned red and was busy struggling to get up, "Your Highness!"
Jing Shao smiled and sat up, wrapping his arms around someone's waist and not letting go, "Sit on the couch, let's watch together."
Zhi Ruoxi saw this and snickered as she led the maids back out, Mu Hanzhang's face reddened even more, the person behind her seemed oblivious, and put her chin on someone's shoulder, "Is it still hard on you this afternoon?"
The place where he rested his chin itched, and Mu Hanzhang moved uncomfortably, "Much better."
"Those concubines don't have to be taken to heart, Li was arranged for me by the palace when I was a child, Yeonji was sent by my eldest brother last year, and I haven't touched her since." Jing Shao hugged the person in his arms upwards so that he could lean on himself and reduce the burden on his waist and stock.
Originally felt that three wives and four concubines was nothing, but now faced with Jun Qing's dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Jing Shao's heart was inexplicably a little weak and automatically and consciously began to give an honest account.
Mu Hanzhang turned his head to look at him, was this man helping him understand the true status of the women in the inner house so that he could easily control them? Although he really has no interest at all in controlling this group of women, it is indeed useful for his survival here, after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "The arrival of the Imperial Consort today was a negligence on my part, fortunately, the Side Lady was vigilant, so that she did not slow down her brother and sister-in-law."
"Haha, I also forgot about my sister-in-law and only remembered during dinner." Jing Shao remembered that he and his brother had gotten their words out of the way in the study today, and a smile surfaced on his face again.
It seemed Song had taken matters into her own hands, Mu Hanzhang realized.
Jing Shao lowered his head to see the people in his arms, converging eyes pondering, only to remember that he just boasted Song Ling Xin, the smile on his face was scattered completely, what is so good about that woman, Jun Qing have praised him for his vigilance: "Song Ling Xin her father is the Ministry of the Army, I was afraid of tripping for fear of going out to war, only to lift her over the door."
This said, the tone can not help but get colder and colder, the last life he was framed by the crowd, has been promoted to the Ministry of War Song An but has been shrinking his head and refused to refute a sentence for him, and finally used the means to cheat a seal of repudiation to preserve his daughter, and that woman is also fleeing as if she had left the royal residence. Cats and dogs still know to protect their masters to the death, and that woman, if the woman did not reveal her husband to be imprisoned, must have taken his evidence of guilt to the father to take credit for it.
Mu Hanzhang quietly listened to him, naturally heard his dislike for Song, those handsome eyes had a despondency in them that he himself did not notice, could not help but reach out and stroke the end of his eyes, but did not know what to do.
Jing Shao because the person in the arms of the action of surprise, but do not dare to move, watching him like a cat trying to touch his face, holding his breath for fear of disturbing him. Naihe that person just put his fingertips on the corner of his eyes and then did not move, Jing Shao could not help but slightly incline his head, in that soft palm fell a light kiss.
"Well ...... " Mu Hanyang came back to his senses and let out a soft cry, as if he was scalded, he quickly retracted his hand, and the person also jumped down from the soft collapse, "Tomorrow we still have to go back to the door, early... ...rest early." Pretending to be calm, he finished these words, turned around and went back to the inner room.
Jing Shao looked at his fleeing back and couldn't help but stifle a laugh as he got up and followed him as well.
"Your Highness, my concubine really didn't mean it today." On the carriage back to the Imperial Prince's residence, Xiao looked at her husband apprehensively.
Jing Chen glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Intentionally or unintentionally, just remember, Jing Shao is my own brother, and I won't allow anyone to destroy him by any means." Not even Father Emperor! The last sentence was not said, Xiao's self is heard out, hastily answered yes, but in the heart is worried, you treat people as brothers, people may not necessarily appreciate.
Jing Chen thought about what his younger brother said in the study, and couldn't help but smile in relief, his own little Shao'er, finally grew up.
Returning to the door in the third dynasty, the two Cheng Wangfufu got up early to freshen up.
"Your Highness ......" Sitting on the carriage, Mu Hanzhang hesitantly opened his mouth, pursed his lips, and swallowed his words.
"Hmm?" Jing Shao turned his head to see him wanting to speak and reached out to take his clenched hand into his palm, "Junqing, do you remember what I said yesterday?"
Mu Hanyang looked up, and met Jing Shao's dark eyes full of tenderness, and his heart suddenly relaxed: "If my father brings up the matter of Jiangnan's salt introduction, Your Highness ...... should not agree."
Salt guide? Jing Shao, after this reminder, remembered that back then, Marquis Bei Wei did want to borrow his hand to get into the salt road business. Salt, since ancient times are controlled by the government, to be exact, is controlled in the hands of a few feudal officials. Jiangnan is out of the salt place, Jiangnan Generalissimo and his friendship, so want to borrow him to ride on the salt road is naturally quite a lot of people, only ...... this is also one of his sins in that year.
