Mu Xiyao was facing the lotus pond outside the window, slowly drawing the veins of the lotus leaf and the morning dew on it. Gui Momo came over with a smile on her face, and said softly, "Master, the Sixth Highness has brought you a fun item, and said that you should open it yourself."
She saw Mo Lan was carrying a basket in her hand, which was covered with purple gauze.
Mu Xiyao put down the pen, and took the bamboo basket after cleaning her hands, but found that it was quite heavy. He gently pulled the corner of the silk yarn, and immediately exclaimed, his eyes were full of surprises.
Gui Momo and Mo Lan were taken aback by Xi Yao, and they saw her jumping open the silk yarn, two little rabbits, curled up in a ball, were leaning against each other, very cute.
Mu Xiyao looked at the two fat rabbits and was extremely happy. One was gray and the other was white, both were fluffy balls, especially the plump buttocks. Mu Xiyao stretched out her hand and gently poked it with her index finger, and the rabbit moved its ears, squinted, and moved down lazily. butt. Mu Xiyao laughed happily, holding the basket and watching.
Gui Momo and Mo Lan stiffened, looking at two such lovely rabbits with pity. Hey, what should I say, it's not in someone's house, but in the hands of the master.
There is a reason for this. Mu Xiyao ate the medicinal pill by herself, and her body smelled very light. As long as she was close to these small creatures, these animals would soon like to be close to her.
But this woman, Mu Xiyao, has a big problem. Whenever she thinks she is cute, she will tease her, and she will not get tired of it for a long time. When teased, these animals couldn't feel the malice in Mu Xiyao, and they liked to rely on the smell of her body, so they let her play with it. But as time goes by, no one can stand the long-term harassment, so even if they are healthy, they are mentally ill. If Madam Gui and Mo Lan knew a word, they would understand that it was a manifestation of "depression".
So Mu Xiyao could keep a pet or something at home at first, but later, even the Yu family, who indulged her, ordered that living pets not be brought into Yingshui Xuan. Even the sister-in-law, Mu Jinzhi, always fled with the appearance of begging her. When it comes to keeping pets, Mu Xiyao is really worried.
Now suddenly seeing such cute pets, or two, squatting together in love with each other, can Mu Xiyao be madly surprised without staring at each other? It's a pity that she wasn't happy for too long, so Mo Lan hurried over to take the basket and stood a few steps away from her before she said uneasily, "Miss, Madam said, if you let you keep pets, Hui Lan and I will just do it. You have to be punished. Besides, this is from His Royal Highness, you don’t want such a cute rabbit to do that again, do you? Do you think this is okay, or the slaves will keep them for you, and you can look at them when you have time?” Nodding vigorously on the side, he repeatedly agreed.
Mu Xiyao complained, is my sister a ghost or something, raising a rabbit has to be viewed from a distance and not to be played with? She looked and looked reluctantly before she nodded reluctantly, indicating that she would be there in person for the daily morning feeding. This time, the two people next to him let out a sigh of relief, secretly saying that it was dangerous.
When Mu Xiyao got the rabbit, her mood began to fly, but she still remembered giving Zong Zhenglin a letter of thanks very politely. The words in the letter are sincere, full of joy, and even the font is a bit more flexible. He also complained that although he can only watch now, he is very satisfied. A self-made bookmark is enclosed as a thank you note.
Zong Zhenglin read the letter with a soft smile on his face. Thinking of the scene of the pitiful big rabbit watching the two little rabbits, the more amusing. Picked up the bookmark again and looked at it carefully. I saw that the main body of the bookmark was a leaf, and the green mesophyll had been removed, leaving only the pale yellow veins and hollow stripes, which were very delicate. A lake blue ribbon is tied on it, and the whole bookmark is elegant and generous, and the owner's intentions can be seen. Zong Zhenglin stroked the ribbon lightly, put the bookmark in the pages of the book he often read, and placed it quietly.
It's been a few days since I haven't seen each other, and I'm a little worried. After thinking about it for a while, Zong Zhenglin wrote a quick note and asked Ye Kai to personally deliver it to the Yu residence to Mu Xiyao.
In the past few days, everyone in the manor knew that Miss Biao in the mansion had already received a gift from His Royal Highness Sixth Highness before she left the court. It was obvious that she could be favored after entering the manor, so she tried her best to curry favor. Mu Xiting is Mu Xiyao's younger sister, so naturally she also got some benefits. No, seeing the mammy beside Miss Biao, she led a young man into the courtyard with a happy face. Isn't that man the attendant of the Prince's Palace who came to give gifts last time? This is, another gift
Ye Kai met Mu Xiyao, greeted him respectfully, and handed the letter over. I was thinking in my heart, I didn't see anyone last time, but this time I saw this master. No wonder he has His Highness's eyes, this master is not only a beautiful woman, and her charm is even more remarkable. Compared with the two in His Highness's backyard, a man knows how to choose. He suddenly realized that this is not to say that His Highness is lustful, so he quickly stopped and just waited for the master to reply.
Mu Xiyao read Zong Zhenglin's letter with a faint smile on her face. He nodded to Ye Kai, saying that he had responded to the matter, and asked someone to give him a reward and send it out in person.
As soon as Ye Kai went out, Mu Xiyao's expression returned to normal, and Gui Momo was speechless when she saw it, this master is incredible, she didn't even catch her breath when she changed her face. When I was with Yu Shi before, all I saw was the second young lady who was acting like a spoiled child. Now, in comparison, the old lady and myself have all been swayed. But isn't this just right, the more capable the master is, the more secure he will be after entering the palace, and the people who follow will naturally benefit, right? Think no more.
Zong Zhenglin's letter this time is to invite Mu Xiyao to go to the West Lake outside Shengjing to enjoy lotus flowers on the 29th of this month. After that, it will be just in time for the annual river lantern prayer in the West Lake. Lantern prayers are unprecedentedly lively and quite famous. Young women go together even more, just to seek a good marriage.
After reading the letter, Mu Xiyao went to Yu's yard to talk about the trip. When Yu Shi heard that he had been invited by His Highness the Sixth Highness, there was no reason why he should not. He only repeatedly urged to be prudent and courteous, not to be foolish, to be arrogant and self-willed. He also specifically instructed to put the light on and return early. Mu Xiyao almost rolled her eyes. Is this because you are afraid of not going home at night
On the twenty-ninth day, Mu Xiyao chose a long skirt made of apricot white silk, and her head was just a simple pale pink crystal sway. Only the homemade flower water is applied on the face, and only a string of jasmine is on the wrist. The whole person looks very comfortable in summer, the girl is like a budding flower, her posture is moving, and it is crystal clear.
Zong Zhenglin looked at Mu Xiyao like this, his eyes fixed on her, and after a long while, he helped Xiyao who was saluting, held her hand, and entered the carriage together.
"Very beautiful." The man was very serious... praised.
After hearing the compliment, Mu Xiyao smiled humbly. But he didn't want to be gently taken over, and became a hug gesture again. With a faint blush on his face, he leaned against Zong Zhenglin and let him gently hug him.
"Can you think about what to write on the river lantern?" Zong Zhenglin looked at her intently with Fengmu in front of him, and reached out to help her trim the hair on her temples.
"Huh? I haven't thought of it yet." Mu Xiyao raised her head, and felt her breath hit her face. The man's masculine breath came over her face, and her eyes felt more moist.
Zong Zhenglin looked at this face that made him restless at night, slightly lifted Mu Xiyao's chin, and rubbed her face.
"Then think slowly, not in a hurry." His face slowly lowered.
Mu Xiyao instinctively closed her eyes and felt the aroma of tea coming from her lips. The soft lips of the man touched her softly. At first, it was still slowly dawdling, and then there was a light touch of the tongue. Mu Xiyao's face was flushed, and she held her breath, not daring to move.
Zong Zhenglin only thought that the taste was unexpectedly good. The first time I kissed a woman, it turned out to be such a sweet aroma. Seeing Mu Xiyao shaking her eyelashes but not daring to breathe, she felt even more endearing.
Mu Xiyao was poked into the sandalwood mouth by Zong Zhenglin, and could only follow the tip of his tongue. He heard the man's breathing a little hurriedly, and his hands unconsciously grasped the front of Zong Zhenglin's clothes, and his body was soft and boneless.
"Your Highness."
When Zong Zhenglin heard Mu Xiyao's cry, he restrained his pounding heartbeat and hot urge. Let go of Xiyao and just hug her gently.
After calming down the throbbing on his body, he smiled slightly.
Zong Zhenglin closed his eyes slightly and stroked Mu Xiyao's lips, "Sweet and light, the mouth is full of saliva."
Listening to Zong Zhenglin's ridicule, Mu Xiyao was not shy, but raised her head proudly and looked at him provocatively, "How much better than the beautiful woman beside Your Highness?"
Zong Zhenglin looked at her appearance and listened to the battle that was not "virtuous" in the slightest. He remembered the woman who loudly ordered the horse beheaded that day, and a smile appeared on her face: "The beautiful woman is right in front of you, you will only know after trying it." to kiss.
Mu Xiyao laughed lowly, dodging his teasing, and she looked very happy.
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped, and Wei Zhen came to report that Biboting had arrived. Zong Zhenglin lightly held Mu Xiyao's little hand and led her into the pavilion slowly.
Biboting had obviously cleaned up early, and there were Qingcha snacks on the stone table, and fruits from Fanbang's tribute. Except for the direction facing the lake, there are dark blue gauze curtains hanging on the corner of the pavilion, making the space relatively independent and free from being disturbed.
Outside Bibo Pavilion is the lotus leaf, which is full of greenery. There are water droplets sliding on it, and occasionally the wind passes by, and it reflects the dazzling brilliance and falls into the lotus pond, causing only slight ripples and slowly fainting. In the middle of the lotus leaves, there are lotus flowers in twos and threes, scattered high and low, red and white, or fully blooming, or with buds and stamens.
"If you like it, I will bring you again, or you can swim in the lake."
Mu Xiyao's eyes brightened, looking at Zong Zhenglin expectantly, nodding vigorously. Zong Zhenglin wrapped her around her and patted the top of her head, as if to comfort a pet.
Mu Xiyao pouted, and looked up at Zong Zhenglin in dissatisfaction, but in exchange she said, "Don't be naughty."
Mu Xiyao was helpless and felt that this fellow was pet control. Of course, she didn't know yet that His Royal Highness Sixth Highness was just treating this rabbit like that.
"Your Highness, do you have a pen and ink?"
Wei Zhen didn't wait for Zong Zhenglin's orders, and immediately went out to get a set, and then withdrew the food, and then respectfully unfolded it and placed it on the table. Wei Zhen knew very well in his heart that if you take good care of him, His Highness will be safe. Mu Xiyao politely thanked you, then turned her head and blinked, looking at Zong Zhenglin.
"Xiyao has heard that His Royal Highness is quite knowledgeable in calligraphy and painting. Today's beautiful scenery is in front of you. Is it worth your Highness to paint?"
Zong Zhenglin got up cheerfully, wrapped her in his arms, held her waist with one hand, and wrote with the other. Before writing, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Mu Xiyao's right earring, "How can I miss the beautiful scenery?" Then he carefully drew the picture of the summer lotus.
Mu Xiyao's ears were slightly red, she turned her head to look at the man who was painting seriously, and then turned around to appreciate the painting.
What no one knew was that Mu Xiyao was screaming in his heart: Whoever said this man was unreasonable, did not care about women, and blinded them. Such a typical sullenness, I can't stop it.
