Chapter 177 The Second Ritual

"Why haven't we arrived yet?" Mu Xiyao woke up early in the morning with high spirits, wriggling on Zong Zhenglin's legs restlessly, hoping that Wei Zhen would come to report the results early.

"Eat well!" Zong Zhenglin's face was dark. The woman was still talking about the man next to her on the bed, and she kept chattering until now, which made His Royal Highness extremely annoyed.

Turning Mu Xiyao's head around, holding her chin and sternly warning, "No matter how dishonest you are, Jiaojiao will accompany you in the study room of the palace today. When will you finish handling the political affairs, and when will you return to the courtyard."

Mu Xiyao realized later that she had offended the big boss, so she quickly stopped her irregular movements, obediently leaned forward and kissed Zong Zhenglin on the cheek. "My concubine is just curious, Your Highness is so stingy." Inadvertently letting the big boss have the illusion that the red apricot is cheating, this idea is bad.

"In the mansion, no, in the whole of Beijing, only His Highness and parents treat concubines the best. Concubines are very open-minded."

Mu Xiyao originally wanted to say "I have no one else in my heart." She was afraid that Zong Zhenglin would take advantage of the situation and ask "Who is in Jiaojiao's heart?" Wouldn't that be shooting herself in the foot?

In exchange for a compliment that is both decent and affectionate, Mu Xiyao's appearance couldn't be more sincere.

Zong Zhenglin snorted coldly, Fang helped her to sit upright, and handed a small spoon of meat soup to her mouth. Mu Xiyao obediently opened her mouth, took the spoon in her mouth and gave His Highness Six a wink.

Small sample, when your uncle goes out, I will listen to the gossip by myself, so I won't tell you, I will enjoy myself alone!

Wei Zhen met his master outside the second gate and went to the front yard, respectfully saluted and sent His Highness away. He just got up, and he turned a cold and handsome face to the master without saying a word, just turned a blind eye, and walked past him indifferently.

Wei Zhen stood there in a daze, watching His Highness straighten his back, and really couldn't figure out where the master's anger came from so early in the morning.

"Commander Wei," Mu Xiyao propped her elbows, her beautiful eyes darting around the person in front of her. "I have been looking forward to you for a long time."

Seeing Master Yao's excited face, Wei Zhen instantly understood the reason why Master Yao didn't give a good face. With someone who "misses" him so much, it's strange that His Highness waits to see him.

"Master, just now this subordinate was stared at coldly by His Highness, and now he is terrified. If you hold your hands high, this subordinate will definitely obey your order from now on, is this going to work?"

Wei Zhen had a mournful face, she got to know Mu Xiyao well, and understood her temper, no matter how casual she spoke, she could still please her from time to time, so that Master Yao would let him go, so that he would be less tortured.

"It's really boring. Mr. Wei is so timid, even my concubine dare not joke with you."

Wei Zhen's eyelids twitched, "Auntie, hey, your joke is a deadly joke, who would dare to follow it?"

"Tell me, is it lively outside?" Mu Xiyao's face was bright, and Wei Zhen hurriedly lowered her head to avoid her too strong attraction.

"Master is so predictable, this morning..."

This morning, when the sky was light, two gossips spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shengjing City, which made everyone listen with great interest and interest.

Last night, the four princesses came to the Shuxiang Hall to have fun, but they didn't want to happen to meet the son-in-law who was also here, and was also hanging out with the young man in the private room, doing those shady things. Her Royal Highness caught and raped the son-in-law on the bed, and in a fit of rage, whipped the two of them until they were covered in bruises. I heard that the young man passed out on the spot, but the son-in-law jumped out of the window in shame and anger, and has not returned to the princess mansion so far.

"Jumped out of the window?" Mu Xiyao opened her eyes wide in amazement. Yang Guokang is a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, and he doesn't know how to do it at all. Dare to come out like this, I'm afraid Zong Zhengying will be very angry.

"The son-in-law is really manly, very brave." I thought that the soft-footed shrimp would be cleaned up by the charming princess and screwed back home, but I didn't expect that man to be ruthless when he got tough occasionally, and he dared to run away with anger. It's a lot of fun.

Wei Zhen looked at the person above who was smiling brightly, and trembled in her heart. The fourth princess might have caused big trouble this time, and her reputation would definitely not be improved by such a design by her master. Emperor Yuan Cheng will also be punished. At this moment, everyone in Shengjing city was well aware of this scandal, and this scandal was treated as a joke after dinner. It is conceivable that the masters of the Fourth Princess Mansion will not be able to hold their heads up in front of outsiders in the future.

Vicious, really vicious. How can such a delicate person have such a strong temper? Wei Zhen suddenly realized that he would rather be punished by His Royal Highness in the future than be punished so lightly by Master Yao that he can't find his way.

"Master Wei, what kind of eyes do you have? I'm not a vicious person. Flies don't bite seamless eggs, have you ever heard this saying?" Catch someone's painful feet, there must be something to focus on, right? If Yang Guokang was able to sit upright and be an honest man, would she still be able to escort him to a duck shop?

"The other thing is that rumors suddenly spread in the streets. It is rumored that Miss Helian's family is in a hurry and flirtatious. She admires His Highness the Sixth Highness in the front and loves His Highness the Eighth Highness in the back. The imperial concubine is kind and can't bear to beat a mandarin duck. Please ask for the decree, in a few days there will be an imperial decree to confer the marriage."

Wei Zhen answered the news smoothly. The draft is the reminder given by the person above, and the rest of the embellished words are all made up by the group of restless secret guards in the mansion. The channel of dissemination is very particular, the master specially explained that it must bloom in all directions, mixed with true and false, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of Emperor Yuan Cheng. As a result, in the land of three streams and nine teachings in Shengjing, rumors spread about the properties under the names of the princes.

"The words are acceptable." Mu Xiyao nodded in satisfaction. Rumors are meant to be exaggerated, regardless of severity. If you are too cautious, you can tell that the person behind you has concerns at a glance. Gossip like this with the meaning of false preaching of the imperial decree is considered decent. As for the "beating mandarin ducks with a stick", it is well used, very similar to the saying in a story in a market story.

"Well, this errand is well done. I will definitely speak well for you in front of His Highness and ask for some rewards." Mu Xiyao was very satisfied when the matter was half completed. The little head swayed from side to side, making everyone wait and see.

Manners, the originally ordinary family rules, have always been useless in front of her master.

Wei Zhen trembled, master, did you really understand your subordinate's pleading just now? If you go to His Highness to ask for a reward, what you ask for will not be a colder knife, right?

"If the predictions are correct, the wind direction in Shengjing will suddenly change this afternoon. At that time... Commander Wei will have to use his strength to make sure he doesn't fall behind."

Helian Weirui, the concubine who was boring last time took it. After this time, you have to cheer up.

At noon, Zong Zhenglin came back for dinner, seeing Mu Xiyao's happy face, he was very happy.

This woman... His Highness Six raised his eyebrows.

She originally thought that Mu Xiyao's plan was to give Zong Zhengying a face-off, but she didn't want her to find another way and set fire to the male-male relationship. Mu Xiyao's use of these crooked tricks is also remarkable. The difference is that this woman has used tricks and schemes, and she still has the face to be embarrassed in front of him, so she almost didn't ask for rewards to praise.

Just as Zong Zhenglin was thinking of this, he heard the delicate and delicate woman beside him come up to him.

"Your Highness, this concubine is so beautiful? Let her catch the concubine to stand up while you are away. I will remember this concubine's hatred. Fortunately, the concubine has a good brain, and it just happens to pay for it at this moment, and I use her hand to flog her." She is a man, killing two birds with one stone!"

The corners of Zong Zhenglin's raised lips suddenly froze. Mu Xiyao is really...unreasonable.
