Chapter 162

"This time, Lao Liu's family has been wronged, so don't hold your breath. Lao Liu has done a good job on this errand. I originally wanted to ask the imperial concubine to keep some people for him, but the boy refused. He said it was He The matter of the Lian family has just happened, if she has to rush to accept a newcomer into the mansion, she should think more, because she can't hold her head up in front of outsiders."

Emperor Yuan Cheng turned over the sign of Concubine Shu tonight, and now the two were lying on the bed talking together.

"The sixth child knows the emperor's wishes. It is a good thing that this child respects the Helian family." Concubine Shu was speaking for Zong Zhenglin. Her son is cold by nature and unwilling to accept others. She has already prepared for this matter. This time, the excuse really happened to him, and he was more confident than ever before.

"The old sixth son is still a bit weak. If you don't come in this time, you can't be negligent on the side of the Mu family. You send a few people over there to take care of them. If you get good news, hurry up and send me a letter." The concubine sent a letter, and Emperor Yuan Cheng said this, but it was showing intimacy.

"The concubine remembers it. It's still the emperor who is thoughtful." Zongzheng Lin's son was valued by Emperor Yuan Cheng, and Concubine Shu was happier than anyone else.

"Lao Liu is another side concubine," Yuan Chengdi stopped suddenly when he reached this point.

"Su's family. His father is a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, Su Bowen, a scholar of Su." Concubine Shu reacted quickly. It is reasonable for the emperor not to remember Su Linrou.

Emperor Yuan Cheng had many sons. Nine princes were born last year, and this year they have two sons and one daughter. Although they were not given a name due to their young age, they were not valued as much as those adult princes, but the mothers and concubines behind them were all young and beautiful, and their family backgrounds were fair, especially recently they were fiercely competing for favor. Even Concubine Shu was a little overwhelmed, she was given the excuse that the prince was young, made many excuses, several times in front of her, pulled Emperor Yuan Cheng who was supposed to go to her palace to turn away halfway.

Seeing that the struggle in the harem gradually started, Concubine Shu maintained her usual duty and sensibility. Even if she was intercepted by someone who cared for her, she never saw her complaining about it. Emperor Yuan Cheng was more and more satisfied with her indisputable temperament, and instead took time to make up for it, which was one or two times more than the number of times he had been placed in her palace in the past.

Now everyone has settled their accounts, those few newcomers failed to steal the chicken, but gave Concubine Shu a good reputation, and made her favor and firm in front of Emperor Yuan Cheng. She is indeed the most stable and proud woman in the imperial concubine position. If this calculation does not fail again and again, anyone will say envy.

"The Su family has been in the house for a few months, why hasn't there been any movement?" Emperor Yuan Cheng was dissatisfied, and talked to Concubine Shu about the daughter of the Su family for the first time.

Su Bowen is one of the few Hanlin bachelors he can catch eyes on. This person has a good mind and a full stomach, and the most rare thing is that he is transparent. He never thought about what he shouldn't, and he didn't see what he didn't deserve. Emperor Yuan Cheng paid attention to such a flexible but not rigid civil servant, and planned to entrust him with important tasks in the future.

"Let Mrs. Su take good care of her and get a son and a half daughter as soon as possible."

This is a disguised form of favor to the Su family. Concubine Shu heard the meaning of Yuan Chengdi's words and nodded in response. Although Su Bowen was born in the Imperial Academy and had a noble reputation, he would never stand in a group, but after all, he was involved with the Prince's Mansion. It will only be a good thing for Zong Zhenglin if the emperor wants to reuse this person.

"What do you think about the pulse of the fourth family?" With Concubine Shu, of course the fourth prince cannot be ignored. Although this son has some regrets, he never caused trouble for him, and he is more worry-free than the others.

In addition to marrying an uneasy woman into the house. The old fourth family has been in the door for more than eight years, and his stomach hasn't even moved. Whether it is inability to give birth or severe weakness, there must be an explanation.

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Shu also frowned.

"The imperial doctor said that she is in good health and there is nothing wrong with it." What happened to the concubines of these two sons? Concubine Shu is worrying enough now.

Every time she sees the fourth family come to the palace to say hello, she can't help but want to say a few words. He was also worried that in front of the woman in Zong Zhenglin's backyard, he would hurt her face as a sister-in-law, so he could only mention it secretly to Zong Zhengyun. Unexpectedly, his eldest son is a mess, he has never been polite, he only cares about protecting his weaknesses, and even joked to let her relax, she doesn't need to worry about his affairs.

These words were so right that Concubine Shu almost lost her temper on the spot. There is really no way to take two sons, so I can only hope so. Now that Emperor Yuan Cheng asked, if he wanted to tell the truth, he couldn't answer it.

"I asked the imperial concubine to add two people to the fourth child. You should talk to him about this matter in advance." It's really shameful. The fourth eldest son has only one son and one daughter up to now, all of whom are concubines. An imposing prince is actually worse than a small family. Even the sixth child who has only been married for a few months, and the second child in the family is about to land. It is so simple to compare, how the fourth family manages the family in the mansion, Emperor Yuan Cheng has been thinking about it.

After two days, the rumors that the sixth prince's concubine Helian was infertile completely dissipated. Instead, the imperial concubine received the imperial edict, and she must hurry up to choose a concubine for the eighth prince, and by the way, keep someone for the fourth prince. As for the other princes, Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't mention it, and the imperial concubine naturally wouldn't make any troubles.

And in Beijing, there is also a faint news, saying that the Helian Mansion was designed by someone with the intention of murdering Zhongliang and overthrowing the country. This matter is too big, no one dares to discuss it lightly without Emperor Yuan Cheng speaking. Such major events involving factional struggles have never been clean and innocent. Which time didn't the bloody head fall to end the curtain?

"Master, are you sure you want this servant to bribe the servants to find out what the Eighth Prince likes?" Xue Qin, the eldest maid next to Helian Weirui, was a little afraid to do anything.

This matter involves the prince of the current dynasty, and the master is so bold to peep in private, which is a violation of the family law of the ancestors.

"Helian Minmin got out of trouble, and now you are in a difficult situation as your master. If you don't, life will be even more difficult in the future. If you are smart, you will understand the truth that you and I are one. How to live in the future, you should think about it as soon as possible Understood." Helian Weirui put down the female red in her hand, her eyes were filled with coldness.

This time the woman narrowly escaped a catastrophe and was able to find peace, so she immediately sent a message home. Helianwei couldn't find out what she said specifically, but the attitude of the Helian family had changed greatly from top to bottom, which made her understand that her sister-in-law was probably borrowing the power of His Highness the Sixth Highness, and planned to use her former sister at home. All the grievances I have received must be returned.

His Highness the Sixth Highness kept her position, and the name of the princess and concubine was as stable as Mount Tai. Seeing such a scene, the family firmly believed that His Highness the Sixth Highness would be able to take over the throne, so how could they not make up for the previous rift, rely on her as much as possible, and support and take care of her more.

But she who had dominated the limelight at the beginning, had no hope of entering the mansion, and got a dishonorable name with the Queen Mother. Although it wasn't her own problem, she had lost her reserve after all. If there were no new changes, it would be difficult for her to enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion. The biggest possibility is that the imperial concubine pointed people into the residence of the fourth prince to become a concubine because of her status.

The fourth prince, Zongzheng Yun, was born with ear problems. Apart from his status as a prince, he is no different from a useless person. What's more, Helian Weirui couldn't look down on a mere concubine.

At this moment, the eighth prince, Zong Zhenghan, was the last chance she had to firmly grasp. Missing this man, her ambition will no longer exist. And the best opportunity is the first birthday banquet of His Royal Highness's eldest son. That is the fastest shortcut to catch up with Zong Zhenghan in the short term.

"Master, His Highness will definitely come later. If you bully the little master like this again, you may be punished again." Hui Lan was more lively than Mo Lan, and she spoke more directly with Mu Xiyao, with less worries.

Chengqing Baozi sat obediently, with his little head swaying from side to side, he managed to piece together half of the pattern. Taking advantage of him not paying attention, Mu Xiyao reached for the last piece with her little hand, and just swipe and pull it swiftly, hiding one piece on purpose .

Xiao Baozi put together the tiger's ears, and when he turned around, he saw where the tail should have been, why was there a mouth missing in the blink of an eye?

Mu Xiyao saw her son's tiger-headed and tiger-headed search, looking very pleasing, so she laughed and came back with a beard.

Cheng Qing happened to raise his head, just in time to catch his mother and take away the tiger's beard, and suddenly pursed his mouth, feeling extremely wronged.

"Young lady is bad!" As she said that, she grabbed Mu Xiyao's tightly clenched fist and squeezed her fingers hard, trying to snatch the beard back.

"Master, if Madam finds out about teasing little master like this, I will definitely not let you go." Nanny Gui comforted the little master who was sweating profusely, and looked at Mu Xiyao with a disapproving expression.

When the master is not serious, he is more worrying than the little master. This little master worked hard on the pattern, how did he provoke her again? Besides, isn't this what you, the master, are arguing to accomplish? Now that your wish has been fulfilled, His Highness has sent several puzzles over, why can't the little master be allowed to play well?

Right now the villain's eyes are red, but if she starts to cry later, she will dislike the little master for making troubles and not taking care of him well. This mother deserves it, but it is really inappropriate.

Chengqing's jet-black eyes were foggy, and tears were about to fall when he was hugged by a pair of familiar big hands.

"Why, Jiaojiao is bullying my son again?" As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mu Xiyao covering her mouth and smiling with crooked eyebrows, her stealthy look, she must have done something wrong. No, as expected his son suffered a crime.

"Father, mother is bad, take Tutu!" Seeing that the savior had arrived, Cheng Qing immediately complained.

"You still haven't returned it?" Zong Zhenglin was annoyed. This woman has been caught by him several times. If he hadn't stopped her with his eyes, Cheng Qing would have cried a long time ago. How could she have waited for today.

Mu Xiyao sat on the blanket and gently tugged at the hem of Zong Zhenglin's clothes. Seeing the tall man holding her son in his arms, but staring straight at her, he gave a warning.

She was wronged at first, but was stared at by everyone, and she couldn't be allowed to deny it, so Mu Xiyao could only obediently put her tail and beard back. Only then did Cheng Qing calm down, and obediently fell on Zong Zhenglin's chest without making any noise.

"Your Highness, you are very biased." Mu Xiyao complained. Once you have a son, you don't care about the baby and his mother, another example of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!

"I knew to protect your son, and every time I caught my concubine and lectured me. The concubine was just teasing him, just for a short while. Besides, the concubine is not trying to make Chengqing lively and grow stronger."

Mu Xiyao lacked confidence in her words, not only His Highness the Sixth Highness showed contempt, but even Mother Zhao who had just followed into the room heaved a long sigh.

"Master, this old slave will bring my little master to drink some peach juice." Hurry up and take the obedient little man in His Highness's arms, the farther away from Master Yao the better. At this time of the day, Master Yao is the most idle, and he can't bring the little master to her if there is nothing to do. Bullying the little master turned out to be a pastime for her to amuse, so she had to complain to the madam when she had time.

"How many times has this been said that Jiaojiao can't control her troublesome hands? Cheng Qing is so small, why did you provoke him..."

Sure enough, within a few steps of stepping out with the little master in her arms, Mother Zhao heard that His Highness was sternly admonishing her.

It's just... hey. It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. Every time the topic was spoken seriously at the beginning, but in the end, Master Yao led him to nowhere.

The little master has such parents, I don't know what to say.
