The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 153

[153. Chapter 153 Benefits]

“His Royal Highness.” Helianzhang saw Zong Zhenglin who was dressed in daiqing uniform enter the room, he quickly stood up, and leaned over to salute.

“Why, the tea is not well brewed?” Zong Zhenglin exclaimed in a hurry, and saw at a glance that there was more than half of the scented tea that Mu Xiyao “carefully” brewed in the tea bowl at his hand.

It seemed that Patriarch Helian really didn’t appreciate Mu Xiyao’s tea-making skills.

Helianzhang, who was waiting with his head bowed, was embarrassed and didn’t know how to reply, but he heard that His Highness who was seated no longer looked into it, and lightly excused him.

“Lord Helian’s visit this time is more cautious than last time. In the next two days, the imperial hospital will come to the palace for a follow-up consultation. The lord is in a hurry to visit Zhengfei, because I am afraid that the palace can’t wait for the imperial concubine. He Lianzhang treated the Helian family badly when the doctor came out with the pulse case?”

Helianzhang froze, realizing that His Highness was already dissatisfied, and he did not want to talk to him about rectifying the name of the Helian family. At this time, it is better to honestly admit your mistakes, and you need to be extra cautious in dealing with them.

“His Royal Highness, minister, minister is guilty.” Helpless, Helianzhang slowly knelt down, leaned over and bowed. The moment he lowered his posture and surrendered, he just hoped that the Sixth Highness would be able to dispel half of his anger.

“Oh? This hall thought that Lord Helian was in control, and even the dowry was well prepared, just waiting for this hall to pass the mansion to welcome people.”

Helianzhang sweated slightly on his forehead. The Helian family had indeed prepared a dowry for Helian Weirui to leave the pavilion. His Highness’s words were like asking a guilt.

“I also ask your Highness to forgive your sin. It was the minister who was obsessed with his mind and did a stupid thing. The guilty minister is willing to accept the punishment.”

Zong Zhenglin snorted coldly, accepting the punishment? There is a chance later.

“Do you think no one can guess the thoughts of your Helian family? The Helian family was accidentally implicated in the matter of the imperial concubine this time. If it hadn’t been plotted by others, what would you do with the Helian family?”

He Lianzhang was asked a single word by His Royal Highness, who was sitting at random, and did not dare to reply. Whether it is “mind” or “planning”, if you dare to say these words, you will immediately be charged with copying and beheading people. Yuan Chengdi is still healthy, and trying to take the post is tantamount to having a different opinion on the present. Even if he had the guts to plan in his heart, he would never dare to reveal a single sentence in front of the Sixth Hall.

Zong Zhenglin’s voice was cold, seeing that he was obviously afraid, so he didn’t mention it. He Lianzhang was still useful, so it would be good to leave him on the bright side for the time being.

“The main concubine of this hall, since she has entered the gate of the Prince’s Mansion, she can’t help others to act rashly. This point, Lord Helian still needs to keep in mind.” Helianzhang fell

even lower. His Highness’s words really gave him mixed feelings.

The joy is that in His Highness’s words, “I can’t help others”, which naturally means that the person behind the scenes will definitely fail in front of His Highness. The Sixth Highness said these words, and naturally he could keep Helian Minmin safe. Without the root cause, the Helian family can escape smoothly.

The worry is about his Helian family, which is extremely ironic, and is also included in the category of “others”. Such a normal family battle, collided with His Highness, but the price was extremely high.

“Lord Helian may wish to consider carefully when you are free. Do you still want the Helian family to be the prince’s concubine? There are many errands inside and outside the court. .”

Helianzhang was lying on the ground, his body trembled, and he was quite frightened. The meaning of the Sixth Highness’s words couldn’t be more clear. If the Helian family did not give an explanation this time, this matter would not be discussed.

Having spent most of his life in the officialdom, Helianzhang’s brain is still enough to get the son of the Minister of Punishment. At this time, although the situation is not satisfactory, if you seize the opportunity to be loyal to His Highness, you will not only be able to escape the disaster, but you will also be able to follow His Highness all the way.

Compared with the long-term benefits, the immediate benefits are simply not worth mentioning. At this time, sacrifice some petty profits, and only wait for the Sixth Highness… By then, the entire Helian family will not be extremely prominent? Wanting to understand the key point, Lord Helian finally calmed down.

What happened next was almost logical. He Lianzhang was heartbroken and stood in line in advance to show his determination. Desperately tying the entire family’s interests to the Sixth Prince’s Palace tightly.

Zong Zhenglin sat calmly, his expression did not change, he only made a sound at the right time to give an attitude, watching the old fox Helian rush up to meet him.

This conversation about the future of the Helian family was settled under the leadership of the Sixth Highness. The result that Mu Xiyao sought was considered a success.

The two met in the study room for more than half an hour, until the Sixth Highness gave the correct words, He Lianzhang finally let out a sigh of relief, the back of his clothes was already wet with sweat.

This master’s temper is really bad to serve. Although the foundation of Helian’s family has been preserved this time, it is actually broken. The Sixth Highness only expressed such a cold attitude, but the benefits flowing out of his hands were enough to make the entire Shengjing family jealous. Without a few waterways and trade routes under his control, the family’s income has plummeted by more than 70%.

Fortunately, there is still hope in the future, otherwise Lord Helian would be heartbroken and overwhelmed.

Helianzhang wiped the sweat from his forehead. This meeting was more exhausting than the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice. The depth of His Royal Highness’s palace made him not dare to be distracted for a moment.

A plan that I thought could go straight to the sky turned out to be a big loss! Which force was it that inserted a foot in the middle and almost capsized the ship in the gutter of Helian’s house?

The boulder hanging in his heart was moved away, and Helianzhang was finally able to use all his energy to investigate the matter.

“It’s settled so soon?” Mu Xiyao held the big hand that Zong Zhenglin handed under his nose, and leaned against him to stand firmly.

“Go out for a walk.” Listening to Tian Fushan’s reply, Mu Xiyao spent less time walking around. It should be busy and lazy to play small abacus, delaying the business.

“How did this hall explain when she left the capital, does Jiaojiao still remember?” People watched her take a few steps, and this woman, relying on her identity, just suppressed the people serving Dan Ruoyuan so that no one dared to speak out.

Zong Zhenglin put his arms around her and waved away most of the attendants, leaving only Wei Zhen and Mo Lan to follow far behind. At this time, there was no one around, so Mu Xiyao would not lose face, just to clear up this lazy problem with her.

Mu Xiyao was led by him and walked slowly, but when he heard that the wind was not right, he immediately put his empty left hand on the man’s arm, leaning his little head over there.

Just as he was about to come out with a beauty plan to escape, he was seen through by the sane and clear-headed Boss.

“Take a good look at the road. If you are heavier, you will have less trouble.” His Highness sternly preached.

As soon as Mu Xiyao was seized, she always cheated on her, but she didn’t see any changes in her. At this moment, I was walking on a small road paved with bluestone slabs. It rained last night, and the moss was slippery and needed extra attention. The woman leaned over, not paying attention to the slightest bit of her feet.

Seeing that Boss is not easy to fool, Mu Xiyao rolled her dark eyes, and her small hand slipped into Zong Zhenglin’s wide sleeve. Caressed his strong arm, and made a lot of trouble.

Boss, before you left, you murmured for a long time and explained many little things, how could you possibly remember them all? A concubine is not a repeater, so it’s common to be unable to answer.

“Just snooze for a while. Mo Lan testified.” That girl should be smarter, don’t stand in front of the boss and be intimidated by his voice, and tell the truth.

“Why does this hall need to call your people to testify? Do you dare to hide it for you when Tian Fushan?” Zong Zhenglin grabbed her troublesome little hand and rubbed it gently.

If it weren’t for the wrong time, the little woman would be so gentle and caressing, it would be a different taste. The Sixth Highness suppressed the charming in his heart for a while and continued to lecture Mu Xiyao harshly.

“This child has already gone through twists and turns. If you don’t listen to the imperial doctor’s diligence and move around more diligently, when the time comes to give birth, if she suffers and loses her temper, Jiaojiao will be waiting to be taken care of.” Zong Zhenglin remembered when she gave birth to her first child. The stirring caused the chickens to jump in the delivery room, and the complexion could not help but condense.

This time, if this woman dares to mess around again, she will be taught enough lessons if she doesn’t listen to the instructions from the mammy.

Mu Xiyao saw that the usual tricks were ineffective, but instead made His Highness’s complexion become more and more serious, so he quickly made amends and changed new tricks to deal with the boss’s uncertain temper.

“Ouch!” Mu Xiyao screamed, her eyes closed abruptly, her dark brows furrowed tightly.

Zong Zhenglin was taken aback by the sudden change, he hugged the person and leaned into his arms, his expression eager.

“How’s it going? But what’s wrong?” Why did he suddenly scream in pain?

If you are in such a hurry, if you want to train in front of you, you will naturally forget it.

“Sand is obsessed, it hurts.” Mu Xiyao said with a cry. He didn’t dare to pretend to be a big problem, and it made Zong Zhenglin so bad. Such a little trouble that is not painful or itchy can be easily handled.

Hearing that it was just sand getting into her eyes, the heart that the Sixth Highness raised, slowly put it down. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with this stomach. I am afraid of an accident. Premature birth can be fatal.

Zong Zhenglin was about to appease the noble man whose brows were frowning, but when he saw Mu Xiyao didn’t care about it, he rubbed it with his little hand.

This woman! Zong Zhenglin was helpless, he pulled down her little hand that was moving indiscriminately, and lifted her chin slightly. “Good, just blow the sand out, don’t hurt your eyes with your hands.”

Mu Xiyao tried her best to sullen her face, looking sad and wanting to cry. I started to regret it in my heart. If I had known that it was so difficult to maintain the expression of this weak little white flower, I should have found another reason to distract the boss.

Seeing that Zong Zhenglin’s handsome face was approaching, he was about to pull her eyelids, Mu Xiyao was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed into his arms, even forgetting to continue the disguise.

Just kidding, being pulled by the boss’s eyelids, even if there is more love in the next action, Mu Xiyao can’t stand being seen by Zong Zhenglin with such a white-eyed appearance. No matter how nice a man can say, it would be better to have less indecent pictures like this.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” The little woman shook her head like a rattle. After a while, she looked up at him and raised her eyebrows with a hippie smile. Zong Zhenglin couldn’t recover from this change.

Taking a closer look at her smug face, she snickered like a little fox. Well, His Royal Highness instantly understood that this woman was sick and humming, and pretended to be a ghost.

When Zong Zhenglin thought about it, he understood that she was making a big move, but she just wanted to muddle through and was reluctant to be punished. This method makes him really angry.

Just as he was about to catch her and teach her a good lesson, he saw Mu Xiyao’s expression changed.

“Your Highness is so nervous about a concubine, put your concubine in your heart, and your concubine is happy.” Mu Xiyao put her right hand on his chest, and listened carefully to her heartbeat. Zong Zhenglin’s breathing was stagnant from that intimacy appearance.

Seeing that the Boss was so angry, Mu Xiyao quickly responded with tenderness, rarely showing any tenderness. I wanted to say a few words of love to scare His Highness, but after thinking about it, I couldn’t find a suitable wording. In the end, he simply picked the most straightforward sentence and rushed straight into Zong Zhenglin’s heart.

At the critical moment, Mu Yaonu only made up her mind: to attack the Sixth Highness, one hit and one final decision.

Sure enough, the effect of the occasional “love reveal” is that the boss stuns her, and no amount of lessons will come to nothing.

When Zong Zhenglin heard that Mu Xiyao rarely showed his affection, his heart was immediately numb, which was extremely useful. The chest that was touched by Mu Xiyao gradually became hot.

In the end, she couldn’t resist her struggling. The ability of this demon girl to set fire to a fire is unparalleled!

Zong Zhenglin sighed helplessly, and only took the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of attachment.

“It’s getting more and more naughty, it’s time for a spanking.” The slap landed on her little butt, and at first she slapped twice in a decent manner, and then the action changed more and more.

Mu Xiyao whimpered and struggled a little, but couldn’t stop complaining. “Who told His Highness to train people so often that the concubine was dizzy. Anyway, when His Highness came back to the mansion, just watch it yourself, and the concubine listened to it.”

What’s the matter? No matter how hard you say it, why don’t you just let it go? Mu Xiyao was very proud. To deal with Lord Boss, it is necessary to fall out of a strange move, making him dazzled and unable to liquidate.

Zong Zhenglin had eaten enough tofu, and when she saw that she had gone for a while, her face was already ruddy, so she simply hugged someone and walked to the pavilion.

“It’s very rare for Jiaojiao to beg this hall to accompany her from time to time. If she is free, she will naturally be with Jiaojiao.” Zong Zhenglin deliberately distorted her meaning, seeing her pouting and muttering, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes.

The little woman is now more and more courageous, and dares to pretend and play tricks in front of him. However, this temperament has not changed, even if it is fake, it is very public on the bright side.

Mu Xiyao put her arms around his neck and continued to ask questions to please him.

“His Royal Highness has n’t told the concubine yet, but the Helian family is out of the blood this time?” Moreover, according to Zong Zhenglin’s temper, although he wouldn’t go out of his way to calculate Helian’s family, the benefits of being delivered to his door would never be generously pushed out.

“It’s just so promising.” Zong Zhenglin laughed. The little woman has to care about the result, just as she wants, so as not to keep it in her heart and consume her mind.

Strange to say, the account books handed to her, except for the two waterways of Helian’s family, which one is not better than the rest? She doesn’t look down on her at home, and she has to work hard from the outside. Should she praise her for being a good housekeeper for this temperament?

“The Helian family’s hand in the waterway business, Jiaojiao, is useless, but the Shengjing store can take over and play.” The Sixth Highness’s tone made the two people standing outside the pavilion sigh at the same time.

If the master is willing, you will also toss the waterway and trade to her? If Lord Helian knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood. Even if it is a shop, it is a prosperous shop in Beijing, and it is worth fighting for money every day. If this business was done for Master Yao, he might have to come up with a bizarre toy.

At the same time, the two thought of the small objects in Jiayifang, whose prices were still high, and felt that Master Yao was really thinking about the business.

“Pavement?” Mu Xiyao was disgusted. There is a manager of Jiayifang who reports to work every month, disturbing her comfortable life, it is very annoying, and she is a fool to take over the shop!

“I don’t want shops, I want to buy and sell by water.” In the Great Wei territory, anyone who is tied to water transportation will definitely make a profit without losing money. Mu Xiyao still knew this.

The Sixth Highness wanted to secretly hide this good thing and not give her the broth, no way! If you want to play, you have to play the good way of Qiantuguangming. Does the boss think that she can only get along in Shengjing?

Zong Zhenglin saw that she was angry and unhappy, as if being bullied by him, he laughed sullenly. “Jiaojiao, do you know where this waterway leads?”

“Where?” Mu Xiyao asked confidently. Where is Tong not doing business, as long as there are people, you are afraid that you will not have money to earn?

Wei Zhen’s face twitched. Master Yao, you are so bold. Even in the area of water transportation along the Quhe River in the south of the Yangtze River, the most important taxpayer under the eyes of Emperor Cheng Yuan dared to think about it.

In the past, the Helian family had invested 80% of their family property as a member of the family, and then they got the imperial decree and were able to share half of the dividends. Even His Highness would not dare to interfere openly. This is a private agreement, the waterway share is changed, and the emperor must not reveal the slightest rumor.

Now that Master Yao has not figured out what it is, he is so ready to challenge Emperor Yuancheng?

Zong Zhenglin patted her dishonest head, and laughed and teased, “Caoyun in the Quhe section, if Jiaojiao wants to, she can go to the palace to face the saint and submit it to her face.”

Mu Xiyao was embarrassed. His uncle’s, he almost grabbed the money and grabbed the Yuancheng Emperor’s land! The ground was broken on Tai Sui’s head, so she was so daring and fat?

Looking at Zong Zhenglin pitifully, he looked like he couldn’t get the benefits he saw. From that small appearance, it seems that His Royal Highness is really cola.

“Jiaojiaoyue doesn’t have enough money to spend?” This woman’s begging for water is purely greedy for freshness. If she really wants her to manage her business well, she will be able to make trouble if she keeps it for a day or two, and she will quit.

Mu Xiyao rolled her eyes in disdain. Is she so out of luck?

There is no hope for the waterway, what about the business road?

Zong Zhenglin saw her thoughts and patiently gave this inconvenient explanation. “The business road leads to the two Jins. It takes at least three months to go back and forth. Horse thieves are rampant on the road. Does Jiaojiao want to deal with the security bureau again?”

Mu Xiyao completely rested her mind when she heard his complicated words.

Grandma’s, busy work for nothing. All this white money went into the pocket of the big boss who was killed halfway. Knowing that Helian’s family was so poor, she didn’t bother to bother.

Mu Yaonu was wronged, of course, the Sixth Highness couldn’t be better off alone. She didn’t make a fuss, just looked at you so listlessly, Zong Zhenglin’s eyes narrowed, and she finally expressed her mind.

“Jiaojiao has worked so hard for a long time,” Zong Zhenglin himself felt that this was awkward. This woman only used her brain, and she had such a flash of energy. When she got an idea, it would be polite to use her for half a day. But the words have to go on like this, otherwise the woman won’t be able to stop. “The waterway is not suitable for business, why don’t the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing give Jiaojiaoquan as a consolation?”

Zhuangzi’s crop, Mu Xiyao, liked it very much, and he tried several times but failed to let her succeed. Zong Zhenglin was afraid that she would go out of the mansion all the time because of the excuse of inspecting the industry. Now it is appropriate to send it out. It can block her conversation, and she is not afraid that she will sneak out to play in private.

As for why Zong Zhenglin believed that Mu Xiyao couldn’t run around, but just figured out that when she wasn’t in Shengjing, where else could she slip away?
