After that day, Mu Xiyao repeatedly "ceded the land and paid indemnity" with tears, and finally obtained the consent of the Sixth Highness: every morning can be done in the courtyard, but only one person can be left in the courtyard to serve. As for the upper part of the cushion, Mu Xiyao consciously packed it up and secretly practiced in the house while Zong Zhenglin was out of the house.
Zong Zhenglin was very dissatisfied with this. Several times, he suggested that the part of the little woman's cushion can be moved to practice at night. He also happened to observe the whole set. Mu Xiyao didn't even think about it, just rolled her eyes and sternly refused. Just kidding, Zong Zhenglin mentioned the wolf light in his eyes when he was watching at night, but Mu Xiyao still remembers it now.
Two days later, Mu Xiting was carried into the backyard of the fifth prince, Zong Zhengming, from the side door, sitting on a cyan petite. The dowry prepared by Yu's family and Ruizhu, the eldest maid next to Aunt Wu, followed behind.
Mu Xiyao had already sent someone to send congratulations, and told everything to be careful and not to fight for a moment.
The fifth prince, Zong Zhengming, this person was able to get the help of the fifth dynasty in his last life, which shows that he is also smart. Knowing that the woman he valued was designed by Zong Zhenglin, he secretly made a note in his heart, only to settle the account in the future. Seeing that Mu Xiting is still well-behaved and sensible, remembering the heartbeat of Mu Xiyao at the beginning, she felt a little more pity, but it caused jealousy in the backyard.
Half a month later, something strange happened in the palace. His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Wei, who has always been unfeminine, rigorous in his manners, and indifferent, actually rested in the backyard for most of the month, except for two nights in the middle of a business trip, he spent the rest of his days at Xinna's concubine. . It's just that His Royal Highness obviously accepted two concubines, but he only remembered that the young lady of the Mu family in Qingzhou, who completely left the young lady of the Tang family in Beijing, and has not yet been consummated. It also became a joke.
Regarding this situation, Concubine Shu gave a hint to Zong Zhenglin at first, but in exchange, the Sixth Highness said "I don't feel very much", which scared Concubine Shu immediately. This temperament, which was finally reversed, can't be brought back just for the useless Tang family. And there is still a vague expectation that since the son is willing to stay with the Namu family, then follow him, maybe there will be good news soon? So Concubine Shu just didn't know it and just let it go.
Emperor Yuancheng was busier, and the chaos in Mobei was even more serious this year. The Great Wei has gradually lost control of the three states in northern Hebei, and even the state capital transferred by the imperial court has been assassinated for two consecutive terms, and the situation is not optimistic. Therefore, Emperor Yuan Cheng had not set foot in the harem for almost half a month, and he was even more concerned about Zong Zhenglin's backyard.
On this day, the chief aide, the fifth Yuchao, entered the Sixth Highness's study at noon. The two talked until the middle of the month, and they were satisfied with each other and went back to rest. The next day, Zong Zhenglin's force, Yuelai Pavilion, suddenly became busy, and even some of the dark guards were transferred out of Beijing, and the furthest went to Mobei Yunzhou.
Mu Xiyao was still quietly feeding her rabbits in the garden, vaguely aware of the recent actions in the house. Zong Zhenglin has obviously been going forward more diligently recently and returning later. The fifth dynasty also came twice. If not mistaken, the last thing Zhao Qing did for her in Shengjing should be done. If all goes well, Zong Zhenglin should leave Shengjing in two or three days and make a trip to Qianshan, Huizhou. At that time, should he follow him, or should he stay in the palace and get along with the sisters in the backyard? Mu Xiyao was thinking seriously.
Mu Xiyao has never forgotten Tang Yiru's unusualness. Before, Zong Zhenglin came to Danruo Garden whenever he was free, so she could only stay by the side. If you don't have more contact with Concubine Tang in private, how can you see the clue? However, Huizhou is also a good place, with blooming flowers all year round, and Huizhou City, the state capital, has the reputation of "Orchid Flower Township". It is not only famous for the forty-one states of the Great Wei Dynasty, but also famous for the thirty-seven counties of the two dynasties separated by a river. The noble ladies of noble families in Jiangdu and Wuling, the capitals of the two dynasties, regarded orchid hairpins as their beauty, and especially sought after orchids in Huizhou. Every year, only the sale of Huizhou Orchid in the Great Wei and the two dynasties will bring 1.7 million taels of silver to the court, which shows the prevalence of Orchid in the Great Wei and the two dynasties.
Mu Xiyao carefully sorted out the major events of the past two years, and decided to rely on Zong Zhenglin to go to Huizhou. Although it would take two or three months to go back and forth, it was just in time to catch up with the Queen Mother at the beginning of next year. Compared with the empress dowager's 60th birthday, Tang Yiru is a scum. What's more, if he wins the favor of the Queen Mother, Mu Xiyao's Jiayifang will surely become famous overnight. No matter how you look at it, it is a matter of fame and fortune, not to be missed.
Mu Xiyao was calculating in Danruo Garden, but Tang Yiru was not idle in Shuhui Garden. After looking at it with cold eyes for half a month, Tang Yiru was very sure that there was no special chance that His Highness would not let her sleep in the next few days, and it was very likely that His Highness would only let Mrs. Mu serve. Why is this, Tang Yiru has a vague guess. If so, it's not too bad. However, if it wasn't what he thought, then... Tang Yiru frowned, it shouldn't be, the Sixth Highness's ambition would not allow him to act like this. What's more, there will be Concubine Zheng, who Mu Shi can't get past no matter what, is pressing on it, so he just needs to be patient.
Fortunately, there is only consolation. When the manor receives a reward, His Highness will order it to be sent to each courtyard. Although the things he got were not as good as the Mu family, they were far better than those concubines. This is also a rule.
Tang Yiru is a smart woman, she sees her position clearly, knows when to be silent and when to advance bravely. This is much better than the woman next to him. At first, Mu Xiyao was used as a spearman in the hall, but he only rushed forward a little. Now that he has been cold for about ten days, he can calm down and plan again.
News continued to gather in Wei Zhen's hands from all over the world. The fifth Yi Dynasty and Zong Zhenglin repeatedly discussed and planned, and combined with the reactions of Yuan Chengdi and the court, they finally decided to go to Huizhou in two days. It happened that there was a Ministry of Household errand on hand to cover up.
In bed at night, Zong Zhenglin told Mu Xiyao about leaving the capital, but the woman pleaded with a smile, "His Royal Highness, I heard that the orchid in Huizhou is like a jade in a field, I don't know if my concubine can have this blessing, go to A look?"
"Nonsense. This is bad." Zong Zhenglin vetoed.
"The concubine has heard rumors in the palace recently that the concubine is the person favored by His Highness. In this way, Huizhou is the place that all women yearn for. Your Highness will bring the concubine, a very favored person, to Huizhou for a fair and dignified trip. Can you get others to say it?" Mu Xiyao's soft and soft voice sounded in the gauze tent. I don't know if it was Zong Zhenglin's delusion, it seems that the words "bright and fair", the little woman seemed to be biting harder just now
Stroking Mu Xiyao's black hair, Zong Zhenglin closed his eyes for a long time. This woman's intuition should not be underestimated. Being in the harem, but being able to perceive the situation in the previous dynasty, is really smart. Regardless, smart or not, she is destined to be his Zong Zhenglin's woman. Since she said she was a favored concubine, it was understandable to be more ostentatious. It's really interesting to cover up more conspiracy with an obvious omission.
The next day, two letters from Mu Xiyao's family were sent to Mu's father and son respectively. The dark guard passed the news to Zong Zhenglin, Zong Zhenglin only thought for a moment, then allowed the concubine's communication and sent someone to send it quickly. Sure enough, this woman knew that the news in the house could not bypass her, so she happily walked the bright road. In this way, yesterday's guess must be correct. His little woman was such a surprise.
In September of the eleventh year of Emperor Zhanghe's reign, the sixth prince, Zong Zhenglin, went to Huizhou with his concubine, the Mu clan. For the rest, Concubine Tang temporarily took over the backyard, while Madam Zhao was in charge of Danruo Garden, and Tian Fushan was in charge of all matters in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Zong Zhenglin and his party went out in a light car. There were only three carriages and a dozen guards. Zong Zhenglin was in front, discussing matters with the fifth court and handling official documents. Afterwards, Mu Xiyao and the two personal maids were leisurely enjoying the scenery along the way. The last carriage was prepared for the fifth dynasty and his attendants. The Sixth Highness's closest bodyguard, Zhen, accompanied Ye Kai, and the commander of the guards, Yan Chengzhou, accompanied them all.
The carriage traveled for seven days and arrived in Lincheng. The group changed their attire, and only looked like a noble family going out. When I entered the inn, I was seated and ordered a meal, but I saw a woman rushing in, her hair in a messy bun, and her face full of panic. The woman seemed to see Mu Xiyao and his party, and she knew it was a powerful family with just a glance, and ran away immediately.
