The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 137
[137. Chapter 137 The villain]
“Is the concubine still satisfied with the pair of hummingbirds in this palace?”
Zong Zhengying’s slender face added a mockery to her demeanor, looking a bit fierce and mean.
“My concubine thanked the princess for her grace and gave me some treasures to enjoy.” Mu Xiyao worked hard to maintain her demeanor, and answered respectfully, but did not show any cowardice.
Zong Zhenglin’s reward must be firmly held in his hand. If she can’t even keep the benefits given by the boss, what’s the difference between her and useless firewood?
Zong Zhengying saw that she was eloquent, and her high hat was put on to block her tongue. He was about to continue to compete with Mu Xiyao, but was disturbed by Helian Minmin next to him.
“His Royal Highness, Mrs Mu is heavy, do you think you would give her a favor and let her sit down and answer slowly?”
Helian Minmin now dislikes Zong Zhengying a hundred times.
Her Royal Highness, the princess, used her prestige to deceive the prince’s mansion without even talking about her sense of proportion. If Mu Xiyao had any good or bad, this crime would not be blamed on her as a princess, but it would make her Helian Minmin’s breathless.
If the Sixth Highness knew what happened today, let alone Helian Minmin, even Zong Zhengying would not have a good life.
Although Zong Zhenglin respected her, she also knew a little about the man’s methods outside. Everyone in the court said that His Royal Highness was indifferent and harsh, and this reputation was not just terrifying if it came out casually. Her own father, Lord Helian, was such a cold-hearted person that he was a little cautious towards Zong Zhenglin, which showed that His Highness Sixth Highness was by no means a kind person.
At this moment, Zong Zhengying didn’t know whose power she had used, so she dared to come to the door to provoke her, so she was not afraid that the Sixth Highness would come back and let her down?
When Wei Zhen saw the situation in the house outside, it was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and he couldn’t help but go to the front to report a letter, asking Tian Fushan to find the concubine Shu and think of a way out of the siege. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Master Yao burying his head slightly, hiding a sharp look in his eyes, crossing the raised window lattice, and instantly stopped all his movements.
There was no fear in the eyes that made him cold, and it was all calm. This kind of calm and chilling gaze made Wei Zhen feel familiar.
Master Yao was resourceful and deliberately seized the opportunity to give him a signal, meaning not to act rashly? Wei Zhen has been serving Zong Zhenglin for a long time, and he is very capable of seeing people’s eyes and guessing the master’s thoughts.
Since Master Yao deliberately stopped him, Wei Zhen hurriedly escorted the little master back to the side hall, and repeatedly explained that the grandma was not allowed to take the little master out, so he was relieved to turn back and stand in the shadow outside the main house to do his duty as a guard.
“Oh? Concubine Helian is very virtuous. Why didn’t you hear that the wives and concubines in the Sixth Brother’s Mansion get along like sisters?” Zong Zhengying snorted coldly, despising Helian Minmin’s virtuous and generous appearance look. When the main room has to speak for a rival in love, she can win the heart of a man. She despises this kind of woman the most.
“Since your imperial concubine is so generous, can this palace still make you feel wronged?” Zong Zhengying slapped the whip on the carved table, “Get up.” After tossing her for a while, she felt much more at ease.
Mu Xiyao’s buried head covered all her expressions. After thanking me politely, I supported the arm of Mama Zhao next to her, and moved her numb legs to find her seat.
Helian Minmin watched her expression secretly, but saw that Mu Xiyao was humble and well-mannered, with a tired look on her brows. In response to the question of Zong Zhengying’s hidden Jifeng, he also avoided the edge, and there was no such thing as a battle.
Why is this? Helian Minmin couldn’t understand.
According to Mu Xiyao’s usual style, whether it is a woman in the palace or a concubine in the palace, as long as they have bad intentions towards her, they will always strike back with thunder, and the means are even more powerful.
This time, Zong Zhengying made a special trip to her face, why did Mu Xiyao give in repeatedly, but actually held back and let the other party have the upper hand?
Not only Helian Minmin couldn’t figure it out, but the people who waited by Mu Xiyao’s side inside and outside the room all frowned, unable to guess the master’s mind. To say that the master does not have the support of His Royal Highness is afraid, even the rough envoy in Danruo Garden does not believe this statement. This one doesn’t take any trouble with His Royal Highness seriously, so he just cold His Highness for ten days and a half months. Even the coldest Sixth Highness of the Wei Dynasty can deal with it calmly, how could he still be afraid of the Fourth Princess who lost his mother-in-law?
If Mu Xiyao could hear their voices, she would have to call someone to make up the lessons.
She was unscrupulous in front of Zong Zhenglin, and everything came from her temperament, but it was because the boss was thinking of her now, and she couldn’t bear to feel sad. If Zong Zhenglin changed his taste one day, and she dared to be so ignorant, then she would end up without the boss’s disposal, and she could find a rope to hang it on her own, so as not to suffer Zong Zhenglin’s iron and bloody hands.
So ah, the boss’s side is the most important thing. Mu Xiyao’s guidelines for the favored concubine, which she set early, urged her to work hard at all times and not to slack off.
As for whether or not to be afraid, that is another matter entirely.
For example, in front of Emperor Yuan Cheng, she had to pretend to be her grandson honestly. Often accompanied by Zong Zhenglin’s side, is she not afraid? If she treats each other sincerely, she needs to please in every possible way, and the agency will try to seek the favor of the other party?
Whoever said that, the grace gained from competing for favor is never pure. After all, she didn’t believe him. No matter how she acts or behaves, those are mostly means, not intentions. Being petty to please is a competition for favor, and being domineering is also a competition for favor.
The means that Zong Zhenglin can use will not work for Zong Zhengying.
Therefore, the Sixth Highness and the Fourth Princess are completely incomparable. The word fear, Mu Xiyao admits, she has.
Although princes and princesses are equally precious, they have very different meanings to Emperor Yuancheng.
In all the major events she was involved in before, there were figures of battles between princes behind her. In Emperor Yuancheng’s eyes, she was a pawn to be used, and she was absolutely weak. Even if there is resistance, it is a struggle for survival and has to resist. As for finally seeking self-protection, she is considered smart among women.
Now it is the fourth princess, Zong Zhengying, who is looking for trouble. Not long ago, she lost the support of her mother’s family, and she was alone in the Princess Palace of Shengjing with one-third of an acre of land. She lived a small life without worrying about food and clothing.
Emperor Yuan Cheng didn’t say how much he loved this daughter, but he should still cherish her. If she is still beautiful, sharp and very sharp to clean up people, how does Emperor Yuancheng feel?
This kind of battle between pure women, as an emperor, he sees too much. In his eyes, I am afraid that even if Zong Zhengying is wrong, it is just a little spoiled and arrogant. This common problem of princesses is not a big deal. As long as things are just petty troubles, Mu Xiyao will never be more reasonable than Zong Zhengying in the eyes of Emperor Yuancheng.
She had already lost in bloodline, if Mu Xiyao dared to step on Princess Wei’s head again as a concubine, she would have no chance of winning this battle. Especially since Shengjing City now lacks a big boss!
Mu Xiyao doesn’t need to rely on Zong Zhenglin for many times, he only needs him to be a real deterrent.
Now that the situation is not in her favor, the best response is to temporarily avoid the edge and push Helian Minmin out to resist one or two. When she seizes the opportunity and plans some arrangements, the scene will naturally be different when the time comes.
Zong Zhengying was offended by her. Since the two sides have become mortal enemies, the next confrontation is absolutely indispensable.
Mu Xiyao sat in an orderly manner, and her heart was already turning a thousand times. If she guessed correctly, Zong Zhengying is just here to “say hello” this time, what will happen in the future, with her status as a princess, the most favorable battlefield is not the Prince’s Palace, but the deep palace!
“Could it be that the side concubine didn’t hear what Ben Gong said?” Zong Zhengying felt that her visit today was really relieved. Mr. Mu bowed his head in a proper manner, and Mrs. Helian was so angry that he lost his face. Zong Zhenglin’s woman, that’s all!
“His Royal Highness, the fourth princess, is naturally reasonable. The concubine’s maid bumped into His Highness today, and she deserves to be punished.” Mu Xiyao smiled and admitted her fault, with a very good attitude.
Helian Minmin’s liver hurts because of her resignation. This Mu Shi is so smooth! Now she can see it, without the support of His Highness, Mu Shi pretended to be weak and pushed her to the front of the stage abruptly. It’s a pity that she clearly saw that she was plotting, but she couldn’t get rid of the constraints of her identity, so she had to sing according to the book!
“It’s good to know what’s right. I’m afraid that some people can’t tell right from wrong.” The corners of his eyes swept to Helian Minmin, and the disdain was even more serious.
Mrs. Mu himself was wise to give in, but Mrs. Helian was still holding on, wanting to fight her. In this way, Mr. Mu is indeed much more cunning than Mr. Helian.
“I came to visit this time, and the condition of the concubine was very good. I won’t stay in this palace any more. After giving birth, I have to sit in the palace often, but everyone has not seen the concubine for a long time.”
Zong Zhengyingpi The whip made an explosion in mid-air, looking at Mu Xiyao with obviously bad eyes.
When Mu Xiyao is out of confinement, there will be many times to ask for peace in the palace. At that time, she will have the opportunity to clean up this bitch well. This time it’s an interest, so she can experience the joy of being humiliated in public.
Zong Zhengying straightened up her riding attire, stepped on her riding boots, arrogantly led someone to throw the curtain and left.
Helian Minmin glared at Mu Xiyao with a livid face, and supported Gui Liman reluctantly to send Zong Zhengying out of the house.
“Master, why is Concubine Side…”
“You want to ask, how did she change her character?”
“Why does this servant think that this is not right? When Concubine Side was so angry in the mansion, she was able to endure it. Come down?”
“Do you think that woman is so good-natured? She is just waiting for the opportunity. When His Highness is not here, she can’t take risks with herself. When His Highness comes back, you can see how she pushes His Highness to see the nature of this woman.”
“Master It means that the concubine side deliberately avoided in order to protect herself. Isn’t this difficult for you to do? She retreats like this, if the princess comes to the door again, the face of the prince’s mansion will not be supported by you alone?”
“How long can she hide? She will give birth in a month or so. What will happen to me after that? But during this period of time, I can’t face that mad woman alone.” He Lianzhang reprimanded several times, and was entrusted by Zong Zhenglin again. After several stimulations, he left His Highness and became calmer.
“Turn the way and go to Fanghuayuan to see Concubine Su. This person has also been raised for half a month. As half the master of the Prince’s Mansion, he should share some of it.” Helian Minmin couldn’t calculate Mu Xiyao, but Su Lin Rou is indeed full of confidence.
As long as you hold the woman up, and then belittle Mrs. Mu’s ability in front of her, I believe that Su Linrou, who is eager to win over His Highness, will never miss this opportunity to make merit.
