After Zong Zhengchun passed, he prayed before the prince's case. Zong Zhenghui was reprimanded by Emperor Yuancheng because of this, and his demeanor was more restrained than before, but the resentment between his brows did not go away.
This morning, I met a pretty palace maid on my way. I was thinking of taking people back, but I didn't want to be unable to bear the lust, and was hooked by the maid to actually do things in the sedan chair. At that time, I only felt confused and lustful, and if I didn't ask for the woman on the spot, I wouldn't even be able to move half a step.
I was scolded by the old man for a while, and suddenly, I was shocked to realize that someone had been plotting against it! Zong Zhenghui's heart was full of anger, but in front of Emperor Yuancheng, he couldn't attack at all.
Mu Xiyao stared at Zong Zhenghui's back, intending to watch the show before Shi Shiran spoke for him. Unexpectedly, Yu Guang saw that His Highness Sixth Highness swept his gaze straight over, and immediately agitated, with a correct demeanor, no longer dared to gloat in misfortune, clearly join in the fun.
Zong Zhenglin's eyes were dark, and he could clearly see Mu Xiyao's expression just now. If you are not mistaken, the meaning in the woman's eyes should be joyful.
Just now I got a sum for her, and if you are proud, it should be gone. According to Mu Xiyao's temperament, at this time, there must be something wrong. Zong Zhenglin looked at the prince intently, gradually becoming cautious.
Helian Minmin felt a chill on her body, and the suppressed cough in her throat was almost uncontrollable. He raised his head and bumped into the cold eyes of the Sixth Highness. If it hadn't been clearly identified later, the target was not her, and he was afraid that there would be a cold sweat behind him.
Those stern eyes were not directed at her, so there was only the person on the right behind him. When he turned around, he saw Mu Xiyao's eyes drooping in a hurry, and the two of them staggered their eyes in an instant.
A few feet away, he was also worried. Helian Minmin caressed her chest lightly. Although she wasn't as swollen as before, she couldn't do it without grudges.
Mu Xiyao was a little discouraged, and pursed her lips aggrieved. Yes, he was bumped into by His Highness the Sixth Highness again. Where did that man come from? Why does Zong Zhenglin always catch her without warning every time he glances at others
Mu Xiyao was so frightened by the Sixth Highness that he was much more honest, but in the chanting hall, an undercurrent gradually developed, whispering and looking at each other.
Zong Zhenghui's face turned pale, and the hand holding the incense trembled slightly. His eyes were fixed on the fire in front of him, and he could only hope that the raging fire would ignite in the blink of an eye. Even if a fire burned him, it would be better than the current situation.
Emperor Yuancheng's face suddenly became ugly, staring at the prince was very unpleasant. It's okay to be late, even prayers are not sincere because of their insincerity, and they are not pleasing to the Buddha. It can be seen that he is heartless and hypocritical.
Zong Zhenglin's eyes were dark, and he was implicated in this matter in a moment, and he couldn't think clearly. When I punished Zong Zhenghui once before, I never thought that it would be used by others to make a wedding dress for others. Looking at Emperor Yuancheng's face again, it is known that this matter will never be easily exposed. The old man always said that seeking filial piety first, and the crown prince lost his holy heart. Now, he has committed a major taboo of Emperor Yuancheng. I am afraid that his dissatisfaction with him earlier has been deeply ingrained, and it is also possible to waste storage.
Zong Zhenglin slowly stroked the wrench on his hand, the ruthless look in his phoenix eyes was fleeting.
Trying to benefit from the fisherman... Even if it is the side of the Qing monarch, or the king of diligent troops, he will not hesitate for a moment.
As for how the little woman showed her lust in advance, the Sixth Highness narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. With the help of the people in the hall, most of their attention was paid to the prince, and Zong Zhenglin looked sideways like Mu Xiyao.
Being stared at by the boss again, Mu Xiyao blinked aggrievedly, pouted her small mouth, and reluctantly raised her right hand to stroke her temples. It seemed that her daughter's family was taking care of her, but the rash on her wrist that had not disappeared was faintly reflected in Zong Zhenglin's eyes.
So... Knowing that she had indeed been wronged, and that she had never caused trouble, the corners of Zong Zhenglin's lips twitched, revealing a rare reassurance. That smile was closed as soon as it bloomed, so shocked that Mu Xiyao's eyes widened and her mouth was slightly half-open.
Your Highness, when you were praying for the Queen Mother, you seduced your concubine so seriously.
Zong Zhenglin looked at her stupid for a moment, then turned around and ignored her.
Once again! Helian Minmin only felt ashamed and angry, and hated the woman behind her for her ability to seduce men. Even if Su Linrou was like Su Linrou, she slowly noticed the difference.
His Highness seemed to turn around and looked over? As for who was watching... Su Linrou wasn't stupid enough to put gold on her face.
Mu Xiyao was greeted with cold eyes by the two people around her, and smiled generously. She didn't have time to mess with Zong Zhenglin's woman. The most important thing now is the unsatisfactory, white-faced, trembling-legged His Royal Highness in front of him.
The virtue of a prince of a country... shameful!
"Report to the emperor, the slaves have something to play." The female voice sounded suddenly, and the fine was not jarring.
If you don't say a word, the prince can't wait, maybe he will faint from fright. Seeing that he is so unbearable and making a fool of himself in court, it can be considered to vent his anger a little and get some money back.
The faces of the people in the chanting hall were different. Losing the Sacred Heart one after another, this child is afraid that he will not be able to sit still. At this moment, the Sixth Highness, the concubine, for some unknown reason, suddenly made a sound at this juncture. Don't you see that the emperor is already angry
"Miss Mu?" Emperor Yuancheng took his eyes away from Zong Zhenghui, squinted slightly, and after a while, he recognized the apricot-white woman behind the hall.
"Let's talk back." This girl is very cunning. If she didn't take it seriously, it would not be easy for her to take the initiative to stand in the limelight. Yuan Chengdi's expression was unpredictable, and he was indifferent between joy and anger, so he just waited for the daring person to see how she answered.
"Yes, slaves obey." Mu Xiyao bowed her head and moved forward respectfully, until she was half a step behind Zong Zhenglin, and then she decided to salute.
"Prince, wait by the side." Glancing coldly, Emperor Yuancheng's expression was still ugly. "What's the matter with you?" Looking back at Mrs. Mu, her tone didn't seem to change.
To be an emperor is to be at ease, and to express anger is to be upright. Knowing that she wouldn't take the risk, she still didn't give a good face. If it weren't for the inheritance of the Sixth Highness, she hugged her thighs and lived a comfortable and stable life, and the concubine would not need to be so servile and cautious in front of the old man.
Mu Xiyao held the air-conditioning all over His Highness in front of him, calmly, and replied generously.
"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine only dared to speak out because she saw that this wonderful fragrance was inappropriate. Since it is praying for the ancestors, it is natural to not make mistakes in the smallest details."
Miaoxiang is wrong? The prince, who was already scared and lost his mind, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were fixed on Mu Xiyao, his eyes were full of people who were about to drown, and he suddenly grasped the hope of driftwood.
The two in the crowd looked at each other, and their expressions immediately became gloomy. Could it be that he was seen through by the Mu family and wanted to expose it in court
Zong Zhenglin's movement of stroking his fingers gradually accelerated. Mu Xiyao is really smart, but in today's situation, it is absolutely not appropriate to reveal the inner secret. Praying for blessings and chanting scriptures for the Queen Mother has long been known to the courtiers. If there is a scandal at this time, it will only be laughed at by others. The royal family can't tolerate demeanor.
The rules stood behind Zong Zhenglin, Mu Xiyao's eyelashes fluttered, and the worries hidden under Zong Zhenglin's cold and hard appearance were clear at a glance. Just by looking at him turning his wrench frequently, he knew that the man was in a state of uncertainty.
Isn't Mr. Boss thinking of sending her to Beijing again? Every time there is a danger, the one who thinks about it first is to hide from his father and hide from his eyes and ears, and Li Daitao is stiff.
Your Highness, are you so worried about your concubine? Boss Mu Xiyao was not happy. Although the concubine has no ambitions and cannot accomplish big things, she is still very handy at small tricks, and she is very good at using tricks.
The concubine said that Miaoxiang was inappropriate, but she didn't say that Miaoxiang was mixed with unclean things, and naturally she could not violate the emperor's taboo.
"It's not right, but why?" Emperor Yuancheng's knuckles twitched, and after being reminded by her, he couldn't understand.
Mrs. Mu, if you are really smart, you should recognize the occasion and stop there.
After being glanced at by Emperor Yuancheng meaningfully, Mu Xiyao couldn't help but sigh that when he became the emperor, he was indeed benevolent and coercive, and all kinds of coercion did not show any trace.
"If you go back to the emperor, what the concubine means, this Miaoxiang is indeed inappropriate."
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Emperor Yuan Cheng's face darkened.
I was worried about the queen mother before, but I didn't care about Zong Zhenghui. Just seeing him wincing and unable to light the incense, he got angry. Now that Mr. Mu has pointed it out, he immediately understands this matter. I am afraid that his good sons are fighting fiercely in private.
Remembering that she has done a good job in this matter, as long as she keeps her face on the bright side, she can give some rewards later. Never thought that no matter how smart this woman is, she is also vain and greedy for merit.
Zong Zhenglin didn't change his face, his eyes fell on the incense stick that Zong Zhengchun had served before, and his eyes slowly became unpredictable with the smoke and dust.
Helian Minmin's complexion was ashen, only wish he didn't know such a scene would happen. If she knew, she would be dragged to death, and she would not have been sent out to harm the Prince's Mansion.
The most trembling among the people present was Concubine Shu. After serving Emperor Yuancheng for more than ten years, how could she not know the emperor's forbearance? It doesn't matter if Mu Xiyao takes the blame alone, if he doesn't know what to do, it will drag Zong Zhenglin... Concubine Shu clenched her fingers and made up her mind.
The most important thing in the Prince's Mansion is a woman who is beautiful and smart. By changing this one, Zong Zhenglin can still open up branches and spread leaves and continue the incense.
Secretly seeing everyone's expressions, Mu Xiyao became cold-hearted, and became a little clearer to the people in the deep palace.
Useless people, or stones in the way, really don't live long in the palace.
It's a pity, Mu Xiyao smiled slightly, raised her chin slightly, and looked charming. The concubine came for the favored concubine, how could she be foolish enough to ruin her bright future
The atmosphere that had seemed stagnant before was slowly dissolved with the soft female voice.
"The concubine once read the volume of "Establishment of Tantras", and it said that the affairs of the four tantras include the Buddha, the lotus, the diamond, and the world. The master, the concubine, the king of Ming, the concubine of the Ming, the envoys and other branches."
"If the concubine is not mistaken, the ancestors of the empress dowager cultivated the lotus department, and the one enshrined in the Angong Buddhist Hall was also the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. What's more, the one who prayed for blessings today is even a standing Avalokitesvara statue. Miaoxiang is the most common agarwood fragrance, but this is very inappropriate."
In front of Emperor Yuancheng, Mu Xiyao took the case with her hand, and the fragrance came from an ordinary ruler.
"According to the "Separately Burning Incense Products" in the "Suxi Dikara Sutra", although the incense of agarwood ranks first among many wonderful incense, it is the incense that should be burned in the Buddhist Dharma Department. The incense that should be burned in the lotus department, but A slightly rare tulip."
Holding Miaoxiang in her hands, Mu Xiyao looked around, frowning in confusion, and her tone was uncertain. "Your Majesty, this servant is thinking, doesn't it mean that prayers require the most sincerity? I invited Shen Shuixiang and worshipped Guanyin Bodhisattva. Is this... is it considered to be worshipping the wrong temple gate?"
