"Yan Ji pays a visit to the princess, and the princess please have tea." Wang Ji, Liu Shi Yingying, bowed down, kowtowed to Mu Hanzhang, took the cup handed over by the maid, and offered it with both hands. A charming face is low eyebrows pleasing to the eye without expression.
Mu Hanzhang took a sip of tea and rewarded her with a string of Nanhai Pearls, and called out when she picked it up.
"The slave maid kowtows to the princess, and congratulates the princess on her wedding." The light and cheerful tone was very pleasing to hear. Mrs. Li was a concubine and could not call herself a slave. However, she was originally from a maidservant, and this slave servant said it very smoothly.
"Get up." Mu Hanzhang put down the teacup and rewarded Li's pair of golden sparrows. Women's accessories are naturally not included in his "dowry", and the people of Beiwei Hou's mansion will not buy them for him. These are secretly given to him by his biological mother the night before his marriage, for fear that he will be caught by the concubines. Take it lightly.
Mengxi saw that the princess was so generous, and she had to hold back her heart that was waiting to see the joke. No wonder people said that marrying a concubine is more valuable than marrying a daughter. The daughter-in-law can only get a share of the dowry silver when she gets married, but the concubine can get her share of the family property when she gets married.
Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I'm a man. In the future, you should obey the etiquette when you do things and talk. You only need to come and ask for peace in the morning and evening. You don't need to wait for the rest." The rhythm is not slow but with irresistible majesty.
The two were busy and blessed, and Mrs. Li also put away her smiling face.
"If you have nothing else to do, just go back." Mu Hanzhang said lightly.
Liu Yanji glanced at Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Princess Xie, it's just that the madam hasn't come yet. The servants are waiting outside the door, so we can go back to Xiyuan together." After reading it, you can't just leave.
A cold light flashed in Mu Hanzhang's drooping eyes. The women's twists and turns made him a little impatient. Just as he was about to ask them to wait in the side hall, he heard a woman's laughter from outside the door. : "My concubine has never seen Wang Ye like this before..."
As the voice got closer, I saw Jing Shao walking in first, with a faint smile on his face. When he saw the people in the room, his face immediately turned cold.
No wonder he had to go with him when he met the side room on the way, but it turned out that he was late to meet the princess and used him as a pretense. The concubine had arrived and she had not arrived yet. Who is this pretending to be? Song Lingxin's excitement, which was originally excited by talking with his brother all afternoon, was suddenly mixed up by Song Lingxin.
The change in Jing Shao's expression naturally fell into Mu Hanzhang's eyes, and he thought that this side room was really favored, so he couldn't help pursing his lips.
"The younger sisters are here!" Song Lingxin, who was wearing a bright gouache dress, pretended to be surprised, and walked up to Mu Hanzhang to be blessed, "Because it was late to send the prince and concubine, please don't blame my brother. "
elder brother…
Hearing this title, Mu Hanzhang only felt that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and logically he could call his wife "sister", but he was a man, so he should be called "brother", but why does it sound so awkward
"I'll still be called Wang Fei in the future, not my brother." Before waiting for the parties to say anything, Jing Shao had already spoken first.
"Your Highness?" Hearing this, Song shi looked at Jing Shao aggrievedly, calling her brother's privilege as a side room. The king's request was to slap her in the face in front of the princess.
Jing Shao obviously didn't notice her grievance, and muttered in his heart that the name of "brother" was like a lover, and it was hard to hear it. After saying that, ignoring everyone's reaction, he leaned on the soft couch and picked up the book that Mu Hanzhang had read halfway through.
Song Lingxin was boring, so he had to squat down obediently to give Mu Hanzhang a half salute and toast tea. Mu Hanzhang gave her a pair of jade bracelets, both of which were of high quality and style. Song shi looked at it, and was slightly surprised, and secretly thought that the son of the Northern Wei Hou Shuzi was not as unpopular in the Hou Mansion as rumored
No matter what these women thought, Mu Hanzhang let them go back to Xiyuan with a few words of admonition. Although these concubines were all good looking, Jiaolan Zhifen was his husband's wife. Thinking of this, he felt very different. Beautiful women can't appreciate it.
The room finally calmed down. Mu Hanzhang felt that facing these women for a while was more tiring than reading books all day. Seeing that the book was robbed by Jing Shao, he asked Lan Xuan to find another book.
"Young master, the "Book of Clear Water" is in the big box in the warehouse. It's hard to find it when it's dark." Lan Xuan said with difficulty.
When the palace was built, it was natural that there would not be a study room for the "Princess". He had so many books that he could only keep a few frequently read books in the bedroom, and the rest were in the storeroom.
Mu Hanzhang sighed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just grab a copy from the small box." This Lan Xuan really couldn't speak, and speaking so straightforwardly seemed like he signaled her to complain in front of the prince.
Jing Shao raised his head and saw how his brows were lightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "No need to look for it, I'll just take a look." He reached out to return the book to him, Mu Hanzhang had to walk over to continue, but unexpectedly He was pulled by Jing Shao onto the soft couch.
Unprepared, Mu Hanzhang was dragged onto Jing Shao's body, blushing suddenly, and hurriedly struggled: "My lord!"
Jing Shao smiled and sat up, hugging his waist tightly: "Sit on the couch, let's watch together."
When Zhi Xi saw it, she snickered and led the maids back out. Mu Hanzhang blushed even more, and the people behind seemed to be unaware, and put her chin on their shoulders: "Is it still uncomfortable for me in the afternoon? ?"
The place where the chin rested was itchy, and Mu Hanzhang moved uncomfortably: "It's much better."
"Those concubines don't have to be taken seriously. Mrs. Li was arranged by the palace when I was a child, and Yanji was given by the eldest brother last year. I have never touched her." Jing Shao hugged the person in his arms upwards, So that he can lean on him and reduce the burden on his waist.
Originally, I thought that three wives and four concubines were nothing, but now facing Jun Qing's black eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Jing Shao felt a little inexplicable in his heart, and automatically and consciously began to explain honestly.
Mu Hanzhang turned his head to look at him, is this person helping him understand the real status of women in the inner house, so that he can easily control? Although he really has no interest in controlling these women, it is really useful for his survival here, after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "Today, the prince and concubine arrived, it was because the minister was negligent, but fortunately the wife was alert. , I didn't neglect my brother and sister-in-law."
"Haha, I also forgot my sister-in-law, and I only remembered it during dinner." Jing Shao remembered that he and his brother had spoken in the study today, and a smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that the Song family made up their own minds, and Mu Hanzhang knew it.
Jing Shao lowered his head and saw the person in his arms restrained his eyes and thought, only to remember that he was praising Song Lingxin just now, and the smile on his face disappeared completely. Dad is a military servant, and I took her through the door because I was afraid that people would trip me up when I went to war."
Speaking like this, his tone could not help getting colder and colder. In the last life, he was framed by everyone, and Song An, who had been promoted to the Minister of War, kept his head shrinking and refused to argue for him. In the end, he deceived Feng Xiushu to protect him. 's daughter, and the woman also left the palace as if running for her life. The cat and dog know how to fight to protect the master, and that woman, if it wasn't for the woman who exposed her husband to be imprisoned, she would have taken his criminal evidence to the emperor to show her merit.
Mu Hanzhang listened to him quietly, and naturally he could hear his dislike for the Song family. There was a loneliness in those handsome eyes that he didn't even notice. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the end of his eyes, but And don't know what to do.
Jing Shao was amazed by the movements of the person in his arms, but he didn't dare to move, watching him tentatively touch his face like a cat, holding his breath for fear of disturbing him. But the man just put his fingertips in the corner of his eyes and didn't move, Jing Shao couldn't help tilting his head slightly, and dropped a light kiss on the soft palm.
"Well..." Mu Hanzhang came back to his senses and let out a soft snort, as if he had been burned, he quickly retracted his hand, and the man jumped off the soft slump, "I have to go back tomorrow, early... get some rest early. Right." After saying these words pretending to be calm, he turned around and went back to the inner room.
Jing Shao looked at the back of him fleeing, couldn't help laughing, got up and followed.
"His Royal Highness, today's concubine is really not intentional." On the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion, Xiao shi looked at her husband nervously.
Jing Chen glanced at her and said solemnly: "whether intentional or unintentional, remember that Jing Shao is my own younger brother, and I will not allow anyone to destroy him by any means." Not even the emperor. ! She didn't say the last sentence, but Mrs. Xiao heard it, and quickly responded, but she was worried. If you treat someone as a brother, they may not appreciate it.
Thinking of what his brother said in the study, Jingchen couldn't help but smile with relief. His little Shao'er finally grew up.
Returning to the door in three dynasties, Cheng Wang’s husband and his wife got up early to wash up.
"Your Highness..." Sitting on the carriage, Mu Hanzhang opened his mouth hesitantly, pursed his lips, and swallowed the words again.
"Huh?" Jing Shao turned his head and saw that he was hesitating to speak, and reached out to hold his clasped hand in his palm, "Jun Qing, do you remember what I said yesterday?"
Mu Hanzhang raised his head and met Jing Shaoman's gentle dark eyes, and his heart suddenly relaxed: "If my father mentions the matter of Jiangnan Yanyin, my lord... don't agree."
Salt lead? Jing Shao only remembered after this reminder that Beiwei Hou really wanted to borrow his hand to start the business of Yanlu. Salt has been controlled by the government since ancient times. Jiangnan is the place where the salt is produced, and the Jiangnan general has made good friends with him, so there are naturally many people who want to borrow him to take the salt road, but... This is also one of his crimes back then.
The author has something to say: I don’t know if you understood the distribution of the palace yesterday, that is to say, the princess who was supposed to live in Xiyuan lived in the prince’s Dongyuan, so the prince has no room of his own since then╮(╯ ▽╰)╭
