The Beloved Imperial Consort

On the official road, the carriage of the fifth prince, Zong Zhengming, was slowly approaching Fahua Temple.

This time, he agreed to his aunt and took his little cousin Mo Wanqing home on the way. Aunt Zongzhengming is the sister of Concubine Dong Xian who passed away, and she is taking the youngest daughter of the family to live in the hot spring villa outside Qingzhou City. Zongzheng Ming's mother and concubine died early, and because of the empathy effect, they became close to foreign families.

When Concubine Xian was still alive, Aunt Zong Zhengming often brought two cousins ​​into the palace to chat and joke with him, and often brought him some favorite books and picture albums. Therefore, Zong Zhengming and the two cousins ​​are quite familiar. The eldest cousin married far away in Huizhou the year before last, and she only writes to say hello on weekdays, and hasn't seen each other for a long time. The little cousin stayed in her boudoir, but she was sent out with her uncle, and she was not in Beijing all year round, so it was rare to meet her.

Now in Qingzhou, after finally meeting her aunt and cousin, she naturally takes good care of Mo Wanqing. Today, Mo Wanqing went to Fahua Temple to fulfill her vow, and just happened to pick her up on the way back, so she took a carriage and rushed there.

Thinking that the time should be just right, suddenly the carriage shook, Zong Zhengming didn't notice for a while, and spilled the tea in his hand. There was also chaos outside, and there was a sudden sound of scolding. When the carriage stopped, Zong Zhengming lifted the curtain, but he saw a middle-aged man with mischievous eyebrows, sloppy clothes, sitting on the ground a few steps ahead, obviously the culprit of the frightened horse. The arm was being twisted by an unusually fierce-looking big man in rough clothes behind him.

Although the two knew that they had caused trouble, they refused to let go and continued to argue. Zong Zhengming frowned, and ordered the guards to persuade the two to leave. Unexpectedly, before the confession was finished in one side, a fight broke out in the other side.

"If you don't settle the debt today, the Lord will break your legs!" The big man had a ferocious look on his face, and his aura was obvious. The middle-aged man was also sloppy, and he cursed, "Shuzi, dare you! Try to move me, and see if Lord Kun will not pick off your head!" After speaking, he sat on the ground and kicked the big man hard. Taking advantage of the pain, he broke free from his hands and got up. Without looking back, he immediately raised his legs and ran. Unexpectedly, the big man behind him reacted very quickly, and he rushed forward and grabbed again. The two fisted and kicked each other, twisting into a ball. At this time, more and more people stopped to watch around, and the discussion became louder.

Zong Zhengming watched coldly, and ordered the guards to step forward and pull the two of them away. When the big man saw that the person wanted to do something, but also saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he ignored him at all, and even threatened to stay out of his own business. The middle-aged man was even worse, he didn't appreciate it at all, as if he had suddenly opened his eyes, he simply beat him up, and began to yell loudly that he was knocked down by a carriage just now, and his whole body hurts everywhere, and he needs to seek medical advice. He pointed to the guard and said to the big man, "Let him lose money, and I will pay off your debt."

Now the crowd around the audience burst into laughter, and the excitement became more and more enjoyable. Even the big man turned his head and looked at the guard beside him. At this time, Zong Zhengming didn't know where he was, he had run into a scoundrel. I didn't even bother to think about whether it was just the middle-aged man who wanted to swindle money, or whether the two were basically the same thing.

Considering that he has an errand, it's not appropriate to make it public, so he just ordered people to go and drag those two gangsters away without saying a word. Then dismissed the spectators around, straightened the frame, and continued to move forward. Zong Zhengming didn't know at this time that the delay in this moment of effort was not just as simple as "a moment".

It's a pity that Zong Zhengming only thought that he met two gangsters, and didn't think much about it. This fulfilled Mu Xiyao's trick, and things went very smoothly. This is also the reason why Zhao Qing had a weird expression when he listened to Mu Xiyao's order.

The master ordered "to be professional", "do what you do, love what you do", "don't be nervous, just act like you are", these careful instructions made Zhao Qing feel that the second lady knew more about the profession of gangsters than those of the third class. . Very, well... "professional".

On the other side, on Mu Xiyao's side, the guard quickly reported back that there was someone pestering a woman from a good family in front of her and blocking the road.

Mu Xiyao frowned, and led a group of people to follow. But I saw three well-dressed young men, and seven or eight young servants accompanying them, intercepting two women, one big and one small, with dirty words and debauchery. One of them had sharp eyes, and when he spotted Mu Xiyao and his party, he just took one look and then stared blankly at the woman who was surrounded by everyone. Staring at him without blinking, his vulgarity was evident.

Huilan Molan saw that her lady was offended by that man's rudeness, and was about to scold her, but was snatched away by him: "This little lady, did you come back from the temple? It's not early today,..." While talking When he approached, his eyes stopped on Mu Xiyao, sizing her up wantonly without restraining herself.

Mu Xiyao had previously decided to save the beauty, but she hadn't had time to carry it out, but she unexpectedly pulled away the hatred first. Hearing that sloppy strike-up again, for a moment there was nothing but disgust.

Well, this woman didn't feel offended at all, and felt that she was lowered by this guy's accusation.

When the other two heard the sound, they also turned their heads and looked at the dozen or so people who had just arrived. This is unbelievable, the lady in the middle is very beautiful, dignified and noble, and expensively dressed. Only the whole body style is not comparable to ordinary ladies. The maids and guards around are also outstanding in appearance, well dressed and well behaved.

I feel bad in my heart, I am afraid that I have met a nobleman, and it is definitely not something that I can provoke. I was in a hurry, and I wanted to pull back that blind thing, so I hurried to make amends, and I'd better get away earlier. Hearing that brainless person start to say again: "The little lady is so good-looking, with fair skin and beautiful face, I'm afraid she will be missed by those who have bad intentions. Why don't you and I go together, so that we can protect you for a while." Said Then she moved closer to Mu Xiyao.

"Bold!"

"presumptuous!"

Cymbidium and Molan reprimanded at the same time. The guards also hurriedly stood in front, separated the prodigal son, and protected the group of female relatives. The two orchids trembled with anger. They have been with Miss for many years, but this is the first time they have encountered such an embarrassing thing. Fearing that the master would be frightened, he hurriedly looked at his young lady.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, but I found that my master didn't pay attention to this side at all, and there was no trace of fear. Instead, his eyes were piercing, looking at the two women in front of him, and he didn't know if he heard those dirty words that couldn't be heard.

"The lady and young lady in front are going down the mountain? If so, it happens to be walking together."

The female voice was clear and gentle, she completely ignored the entangled man, her mind was only on the mother and daughter in front of her.

At this time, the crowd didn't know that Mu Xiyao wanted to protect the two of them, and they heard her order the guard on the left: "Zhao Qing, go and ask Madam to come over." Then they saw a tall young guard stepping out, with steady steps and a solemn expression. The two men behind were not sure about each other's identity, so they just remained silent. Seeing that the master didn't order, the servant next to him didn't move.

Seeing that Zhao Qing invited someone respectfully in the past, she was about to stand with Mu Xiyao. At this time, the prodigal son realized that the beauty not only ignored him, but also took care of the irrelevant people nearby, and immediately quit, calling out loudly: "Beauty,..."

Before finishing speaking, the "beauty" first nodded to the mother and daughter who came to the side, comforted her a little, and then turned around and ordered: "Zhao Qing, order this young man to return to Qingzhou and hand it over to the government." Ya. If the two sons behind are also interested, please go back to Qingzhou Zhizhou Mansion for tea." His expression was cold, and his words were sharp.

The latter two were taken aback, hurriedly confessed their crimes, and hurriedly turned around and ran away. Only the person who was in the lead was left behind, and he was detained before he recovered.

At this time, Mu Xiyao calmed down, turned around in a gentle manner, saluted and greeted the two of them, and communicated with each other about their family backgrounds.

Sure enough, the two women were the consorts of the Fifth Dynasty. His wife, Wen Shi, and their daughter, Wu Yuying, hurriedly expressed their gratitude with a sincere and sincere attitude. When Mu Xiyao proposed to invite the two of them to accompany her, both of them agreed, knowing that the other was taking care of her specially, and thanked her repeatedly.

Just as she was taking a step, Mu Xiyao saw that Wu Yuying's fine gauze fairy dress had been scraped out, thinking that she had accidentally scratched the vegetation while avoiding it, so she asked Huilan to take a long cloak that stretched across the floor. After tidying up in this way, everyone went on the road again.

At the foot of the mountain, Mu Xiyao sent the two of them into the carriage, and sent two other guards to escort them, before Fang turned and left.

After taking two steps, I saw a man coming out of the carriage a few steps ahead, it was the Fifth Prince Zong Zhengming!

Mu Xiyao secretly marveled, her face remained unmoved, and she only turned slightly to talk to Mo Lan. I didn't want a woman from behind to pass quickly, and complained coquettishly to Zong Zhengming, with an extremely aggrieved tone: "Cousin, please make me wait!"

It turned out to be her! "Mo-wan-qing".

When Mu Xiyao thought about it, her mood became gloomy. This Mo Wanqing herself is fine, but she has a close friend in her boudoir, who is Mu Xiyao's sworn enemy! In her previous life, Mu Xiyao had a miscarriage and her side concubine, Jiang Shi, who slipped into a male fetus, is now Jiang Shi, who is supposed to be fifteen years old!

Very well, she will not let go of any of these people who are waiting for her to liquidate.

Mu Xiyao bowed into the carriage and began to think, since Mo Wanqing is in Qingzhou, is it possible to put someone beside her? After all, Mo Wanqing is Zong Zhengming's side concubine, so it is still very useful. The turmoil in the back house can kill people at critical times. Well, this matter has to be done as early as possible, Mu Xiyao started to plan seriously.
