Chapter 163 – Death of County Lord Mingan (Second Shift) (1 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“If Marquis Cui loses face, that is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Third Prince.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.
“Do not let the third prince of pain that must be” Lu Niangzi since the desire to speak again and again, but it is also considered to know.
Mu Zi Yan light smile, and so back to the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, will see the state uncle wife is still kneeling outside the government office, now the sky is darkening, outside the cold wind blowing, see the state uncle wife’s eyes keep shedding tears, and then condensed into ice stick in the swollen cheeks, far from looking at the added a few points of the ground with a sense of joy.
Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Didn’t this State Uncle go to sue the Imperial Court?”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “But now I’m afraid that I’m going to be half paralyzed.”
“Ah,” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “It must be you girl who did this.”
“It’s just a small punishment.” Mu Zi Yan coldly hummed, “That mouth of the State Uncle’s wife looks very bright to me.”
“Vivid,” Niangzi Lu looked straight up, bruised and swollen, half-open, unable to close at all, and this was called vivid
Zhang Zong looked at her, “Hmph, it’s to serve as a warning to others, otherwise it won’t become even more rampant in the future”
“Brother Zhang is right.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, the lady of the family has come from a famous family, even if she is married off, it is inevitable that she will be a bit shrewish, but it is only in the back of the house, and she won’t lose face in front of the outside world.
But this state uncle’s wife is a strange, not the slightest regard for their own identity, look is a brainless person.
“It’s a pity for that young lady from the State Uncle’s House.” Niangzi Lu couldn’t stop thinking about this matter and felt it was a pity.
Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Sister Lu, many things in this world are hard to predict, although that young lady died unjustly, it is not a kind of relief.”
“Yes.” Lady Lu whispered, “Now that it’s over, I won’t think about it.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and nodded her head, so the two of them stopped saying anything.
Zhang Zong had thought of freezing this state uncle’s wife for a night, but he got the imperial decree, so he also released that state uncle’s wife.
Mrs. State uncle immediately fainted on the ground, and so carry back, also only hanging breath, the state uncle is more upset, tossed the whole night, which will be Mrs. State uncle back, but also because of the kneeling for a whole day, it really is half paralyzed.
When Consort Liu learned of this, she merely ordered some tonic to be sent forward, comforted a few sentences, and then called it quits.
Mu Zi Yan did not expect that Liu Fei was such an attitude, must have been looking at the days since the state uncle’s wife is crazy used to, she is not allowed to move, so now the state uncle’s wife has been taught a lesson, since it is happy to do so.
Niangzi Lu was pouring a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, “This Concubine Liu is a more generous woman than Concubine Rong.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “This Harem is not a simple one to be able to secure the position of the four consorts.”
“Yes.” Niangzi Lu looked at Mu Zi Yan, “But this state uncle’s legs are considered to have fallen sick, although he can walk, I’m afraid he won’t be able to walk for a long time in the future, and as for that state uncle’s wife, how come she can’t speak?”
“What do you think,” Muzzy Smoke asked with a smirk.
“Could it be that you, this girl, moved” Niangzi Lu’s eyes flashed with a bright light, the corners of her mouth hooked into a satisfied smile, “That mouth of hers should be torn to shreds.”
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Sister Lu has a good point.”
Zhang Zong entered the room and saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, “Tomorrow is the time to go to Marquis Cui’s residence.”
“Since I have to go.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded.
“However, nowadays, Marquis Cui is afraid that it has no face.” Zhang Zong then sat down and said in a low voice.
“Therefore, tomorrow will be more lively, all went to see the joke.” Mu Zi Yan bluntly, then asked, “you two should how”
“How about what,” Zhang Zong froze and asked with some uncertainty.
Mu Zi Yan sighed, “since already will be booked down, that the joint marriage geng post it wedding date it these you should how”
Zhang Zong hurriedly got up, somewhat at a loss for words, pacing back and forth, “Yes, what should I do with all that you said”
Mu Zi Yan saw her like this, and saw Lu Niangzi shyly drooping eyes, she found the crux of the past life, why the two will be separated, on the one hand is Lu Niangzi, on the other hand is Zhang Zong, too mute, and therefore missed this good relationship.
Mu Zi Yan then lightly coughed a few times, “Don’t forget, I’m Sister Lu’s younger sister.”
“Right, right.” Zhang Zong continued, “I’ll do it the day after tomorrow.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered.
Only then did Zhang Zong breathe a sigh of relief, turning his eyes to look at Niangzi Lu with a naive smile, he turned around and left the hall.
Mu Zi Yan blinked, “It’s shyness”
“Alright, you girl.” Lady Lu raised her hand and pinched her nose, “Now you’re satisfied”
“The key to what I’m satisfied with is whether Sister Lu is satisfied or not.” Mu Zi Yan came forward, “Sister Lu, I look forward to a hundred years of goodwill between you and Brother Zhang.”
“En.” Niangzi Lu nodded her head and responded, “Since I’ve already made up my mind, I won’t let go easily.”
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered.
The next day, Mu Zi Yan and Lu Maiden went to Cui Houfu, compared to yesterday, since it is lively, think Cui Houfu even if there are ten thousand unhappy, but also can not lose face, since the whole Cui Houfu is very festive and lively.
The two just got off the carriage, they saw Su Qinrou and Hou Yi Yi also just happened to get off the carriage, the four people since they greeted each other, they entered the Cui Hou House together.
Then Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er arrived, and the group had a tacit understanding to sit around and laugh.
“Lu second sister, yesterday’s matter how come you didn’t call me” Su Qinruo asked with dissatisfaction.
“If you come, you will surely die of anger.” Mu Zi Yan remembered Mrs. State Uncle’s mouth, if she said anything she shouldn’t, she didn’t guarantee that she would let Mrs. State Uncle die a wonderful death.
Su Qinrou had since heard about the matter of the State Uncle’s wife coming to make a fuss, and said with a smile, “That’s true.”
Hou Yi Yi also followed and came over, “Second Sister Lu, nothing will happen again this day, right?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head.
“I came to see Cui Shizi on purpose this day.” Qi Xue’er joked from the side.
“You girl.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “So what if I looked”
“Anyway, this is the big day, even if you see it and laugh a few times, that’s just adding some joy.” Qi Xue’er said with a smile.
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and turned her eyes to look at her, “It’s not good, even you can say such things.”
“Lu Er Sister is laughing at me” Qi Xue’er hurriedly tugged on Mu Zi Yan’s sleeve and came forward, “I’m the one who is close to Zhu.”
“Look.” Mu Zi Yan picked up a snack and handed it to her, “Looks like I’m going to have to give you something sweet.”
Qi Xue’er smiled and took it, taking a bite right then and there.
Qi Yu’er came over, “I want it too.”
This was a great way to make the crowd laugh.
Qi Xue’er hurriedly picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it to her, “You’re good at interrupting.”
Qi Yu’er bit into the pastry, and apparently took a somewhat aggravated bite.
A few people are chatting, they heard a commotion coming from outside, Jun Qianhao came to congratulate, but the side with not Zhong Xuan, but the third prince consort, think of this kind of occasion, where there is a reason to lead the side consort
“So what if it’s a side consort, it’s still not on the stage.” Niangzi Lu coldly said from the side.
Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Yes, but she doesn’t care since nowadays.”
In her previous life, Zhong Xuan was also the third prince’s side consort, but later she sat on the throne of the empress, and she calculated step by step, so how could she care about this momentary gain or loss?
Jun Qianhao led the third prince consort to take a seat, the crown prince did not come this day, but sent congratulatory gifts, and now most of the people who came are with the Cui Houfu third prince of this place, and the ten great families, and Zhang Zong is the Beijing Zhaoyin, since it is to come.
She raised her eyes and saw Zhong Yu, who had not seen her for a long time, and those eyes were faintly detached and indifferent, even if she was joking with the others, but she did not see the joy of the eyes.
Su Qinruo since she also saw Zhong Yu, turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “She really has changed.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Zhong Xuan got married, she’ll be next, and she’s now the only first daughter of Marquis Zhong’s household, so she should be more composed.”
“Ai, it’s only a short year now, and I don’t know what kind of light it will be after a few more years.” Hou Yi Yi said with a sigh from the side.
Yes, a lot of things happened this year, dead, injured, seemingly scenic family, but also just the appearance of gorgeous inside dirty.
Straight to wait until Cui Shizi came in a wedding robe, followed by the same bright red wedding dress of blue Xiner, she wore a hundred years of good luck wedding handkerchief, can not see the appearance, but from the footsteps it seems that now the qi is not bad.
Mu Zi Yan slightly hooked the corner of the mouth, Su Qin Rou can not help but laugh out loud, only to see Cui Ming face bruises have not dissipated, the whole face towering, now with this body of joyful robes, in turn, reminds her of piggy bank.
She couldn’t help but laugh as well, and immediately afterward the entire wedding hall was filled with laughter and hilarity, but everyone knew in their hearts what was mixed in with the laughter.
Rarely did the wedding go very smoothly, the crowd has been fooling around for a while, before dispersing.
Mu Zi Yan said goodbye to the crowd, and then went back to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office with Niangzi Lu.
“Is it really over like this,” Niangzi Lu said, apparently a bit reluctant to finish.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “When Sister Lu gets married, it will definitely be more lively.”
“You girl, I’m talking about serious matters, but you climbed up on me instead.” Lady Lu blushed and whispered.
“This is not better, if you make more trouble, it will be too much, then it will be more than worth it.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.
“Rather.” Lady Lu nodded her head in response, “Well, it’s time to rest in peace.”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Yes, the spring year is coming.”
“Are you going back to the Imperial Tombs,” Lady Lu asked, looking at her.
“Not going back these few days.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “Those two maids there can handle it.”
“You are a capable one, and the maid beside you is also tuned by you. Taught to be this capable.” Lady Lu could not help but sigh.
“That’s right.” Mu Zi Yan, however, responded without modesty.
“Hey.” When Niangzi Lu saw her this complacent, she just smiled helplessly.
When he returned to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office, he saw Bai Xuan suddenly fall.
Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly raised, “Something happened.”
“Yes.” Bai Xuan whispered, “Lei Shi Zi has asked you to come forward.”
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head in response and left with Bai Xuan, heading to the hot spring manor.
In the Third Prince’s Mansion, Zhong Xuan was veiled, and the palace maidservant reported in a low voice from the side, “Your Highness, Your Highness is here.”
“En.” Zhong Xuan nodded in response, “Is the sobering soup ready?”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness, it’s already prepared.” The palace maid hung her head and returned.
“Good.” Only then did Zhong Xuan lift her steps out of the house to greet them, and when she arrived outside, she saw Jun Qianhao walking slowly.
Under the moonlight, he was wearing a dark red brocade robe, draped in brown sable fur, wearing a silver crown on his head, his face was slightly drunk, his steps were very calm, the corner of his mouth was still hanging with the usual smile, handsome and uncommon, gentle and elegant.
Undoubtedly, the royal family’s royal son looks since it is not bad, now without the fifth prince, that is, Jun Qianhao handsome, the crown prince second, the two are to show magnanimity and goodness, the crown prince Jun Qianchu pretentious, less a few points of the literati gas, more a few points of the style of the martial arts generals, and Jun Qianhao is the opposite.
Zhong Xuan stood in place, purple veil covering her face, her eyebrows like a picture, because the red rash on her face has not dissipated yet, but because her forehead is smooth, she made a peony in the center of her eyebrow, her green silk coiled up, her flowing cloud hairpin moving with the wind, her tassel swaying with the wind, lining up that sultry figure with a few points of demonic, she stood under the eaves of the porch, draped in her reddish-colored cloak, and in the eyes of Jun Qianhao, she was like a demonic spirit like a ghost.
When he picked up the steps and marched up to her, before she could say anything, Jun Qianhao tugged her into his arms and carried her horizontally into the house.
Zhong Xuan leaned softly as if she were boneless in his arms, feeling the scent that came from his body that was uniquely his, and whispered, “Drunk.”
“En.” Jun Qianhao’s nostrils spewed wine breath that made people dizzy.
Zhong Xuan just looked at him quietly, waiting until Jun Qianhao entered the inner room and placed her on the bed, he placed a shallow kiss on the tip of her nose through the veil, “Do you miss me?”
Zhong Xuan was visibly stunned, she had been entangled with him for so long, she had never heard him say such low words, she knew very well that she had no love for him, only domination, and he only had use for her, their relationship had never been based on benefits, so she would not move on him, yet she had to curry favor with him because of the benefits.
“What’s wrong with you,” Zhong Xuan asked softly.
Jun Qianhao didn’t know what was wrong, he just felt that his heart was suddenly empty, it was a terrible loneliness, he suddenly got up, turned around and went out of the dormitory.
Zhong Xuan lay on the bed couch, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, and when the palace maid returned, she whispered, “Where is His Highness”
“Went out, went to Cui side consort’s place.” The palace maid whispered back.
“En.” Zhong Xuan waved her hand, “Stand down.”
“Yes.” The palace maidservant answered and then retreated.
Zhong Xuan got up from the bed, unclasped the cloak on her body, slowly went up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, raised her eyes to look at the Xuan Yue outside, a cold wind blew, curling up the green silk in front of her forehead, the corner of her mouth hooked up a cold smile, and then waved her hand, the window was closed, and she turned around suddenly and then entered behind the screen.
Cui Yunshi did not expect the third prince will come, at this moment already to rest, see him come, quickly combed and dressed to go to meet.
Jun Qian Hao went up and looked at Cui Yun Shi, seeing her smiling warmly at him, he only felt a trance, this heart became more and more empty, before he could go up, he turned around and left.
Cui Yunshi froze on the spot when she saw him suddenly turn around and leave, this was something that had never happened before, and for a moment, she didn’t know what exactly was in the mind of the Third Prince.
“Your Highness, but go,” asked a squire.
“Go to the South Pavilion.” Jun Qianhao said in a deep voice.
“Yes.” The attendant answered, and then ordered the people to go ahead and prepare.
When Jun Qian Hao entered the South Pavilion, raising his eyes to look at the long time coming quiet place in front of him, he raised his steps into the house, fading the sable fur from his body, tearing at the robes on his body, very annoyed, I don’t know where this annoyance comes from, only feeling that his heart seems to have been hollowed out, and he just wants to be quiet alone for a while.
Cui Yunshi froze in place for a long time before she heard the palace maid who had been there for a while open her mouth, “Your Highness, Your Highness has gone to the South Pavilion.”
“South Pavilion,” Cui Yunshi was visibly stunned, “Rest and go.”
“Yes.” The palace maidservant answered, and then she helped Cui Yunshi to go back.
Mu Zi Yan rushed to the hot springs manor and hurriedly entered Lei Yichen’s house, he was already waiting for her, and when he saw her coming, he then got up, “I know where the map is.”
“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “But nowadays, Lei Shi Zi is still better not to act rashly, as for that map, it is not urgent.”
“En.” Lei Yichen nodded his head and looked at Mu Zi Yan and said, “Eldest Miss Mu, seeking you to come late at night is rather abrupt.”
“Lei Shi Zi has something else to say,” Mu Zi Yan then asked.
“En.” Lei Yichen nodded and responded, “I want to leave the Hot Springs Manor.”
“Want to go out,” Muzzy Smoke then asked.
“Yes.” Lei Yichen wanted to return to the capital, he wanted to revitalize the Lei family.
Mu Zi Yan thought for a moment, “Can Lei Shizi wait until the Spring New Year, then you can go back”
“What Miss Mu means is,” Lei Yichen looked at her and understood right away.
“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Going forward at that time, if you seek out the Empress Dowager, you will be able to be safe and sound.”
“Good.” Lei Yichen nodded and responded, “I’ll wait until that time.”
“In that case, then Lei Shizi take a good rest.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “If there are any matters, just look for me.”
“Many thanks to Great Miss Mu.” Lei Yichen was a little ashamed of himself, only feeling that the woman in front of him was too legendary, leaving him in awe.
Mu Zi Yan turned around and left Lei Yichen’s room, Bai Xuan stood at one side, “Master but you want to go back”
“I won’t go back tonight.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “I’ll go to Qin Ya Xuan to rest for the night.”
“Yes.” Bai Xuan hung his head and answered, then flew away.
Mu Zi Yan then went to Qin Ya Xuan on his own, halfway there, but turned back to Yun Fei’s place.
When she entered the courtyard, she was about to raise her steps forward, when she saw a figure fall, her ink hair falling, her body wearing profane clothes and pants, not even a thick cloak, she frowned, “Go in.”
“Oh.” Yun Fei responded, and at that moment, he returned to the house with a flash.
Mu Zi Yan froze in place, looked down at herself, secretly, she can have that kind of martial arts, afraid to have to practice hard for some years, and then helplessly sighed, then slowly stepped into the house.
Cloudflare sat in his chair and watched her, and when he saw her walk up, he just looked at her.
“What’s wrong,” Muzzy Smoke asked in disbelief.
“Look.” Yun Fei said and turned around before lying back on the bed.
Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but feel amused, and then said, “Then you rest, I’m just passing by to check on you.”
“En.” Yun Fei answered in a muffled voice and was silent at that moment.
