From the time he returned to Beijing, Mu Rong gradually became more confident, and became even more unscrupulous after entering Beijing.

Now his teasing eyes almost hit Xu Rongrong's face.

There was a trace of annoyance in the latter's eyes, and she wanted to glare at him fiercely, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a faint smile on his handsome face, as if to comfort, as warm as a clear spring, and as if the spring breeze was driving her away. Feeling slightly uneasy.

She lowered her head, a blush slowly creeping up to her ears.

Mu Rong had a smile on his lips. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Concubine Shu, who was full of malice, with a cold warning in his eyes.

His eyes were sharp, like a cheetah's.

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her gaze.

In the Zhengyang Palace, the family members of the clan were slowly entering, but her relatives were no longer here.

The person who called her mother and concubine with a smile, the child who comforted her when she was depressed and said that he would take her out of the palace to be filial, is now imprisoned in the house and unable to move.

She once sent her personal maids and chamberlains to visit, but no matter how much money she spent, she couldn't even put a foot in.

She was once the most noble woman besides the queen in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even though the emperor and empress were in love, the emperor would still stay with her for a few nights every month.

Even though she was too old to sleep with her, the emperor would still reject other women arranged by her to sleep with her, and looked at her with a smile: "If I were to see another woman in your palace, wouldn't I slap you in the face? There is no need to say anything like this again from now on.”

The tenderness of the emperor made her often think that she was different. Even if she did not get the honor and favor of the queen, she still had a place in the emperor's heart.

But reality slapped her hard.

With just a few courtiers' appeal, the emperor immediately imprisoned her son!

Whose brothers don’t have disagreements?What's more, it's an imperial home?

Does it mean that in order to protect the Queen's son, she has to abandon her son?

Huh, Prince?

People who are like idiots!If it weren't for the emperor's protection and the crown prince's position, who would be able to look him in the eye?

This time, Tianchi had already succeeded in dealing with the flood in Jiangnan Road, but who knew that another Mu Rong would emerge from the side stab.

Just for the daughter of a sixth-grade official, a so-called county owner, she pushed her son into the abyss.

I hope you can protect her forever.

She thought sadly.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Xu Rongrong's body.

……

"What's wrong with Concubine Shu? Why are you always staring at Brother Rong? And you're always looking at Sister Rong." Mu Qianyin, the third emperor's concubine sitting not far away, was a little confused.

The third prince peeled a grape for her without raising his eyes: "Earlier, the prince asked Brother Rong to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the floods. He promised that when the matter was settled, he would go to his father and ask for an order to set a marriage date for him and Ping An. . This was actually just a joke, but somehow it reached Concubine Shu's ears. She thought that Brother Rong was targeting the second brother for safety, so she hated them... Leave her alone, she is lost now. Crazy!”

Indeed, she is now the only concubine in the huge Zhengyang Palace.

As the concubine Shu who is second only to the empress in the harem, she should not have taken the seat at this time.

Her appearance seems to be just to make others uncomfortable.

With an expression that is incompatible with this place, the sinister gaze makes people feel like they are stuck in the throat.

Mu Qianyin's eyebrows stood up: "This is simply unreasonable! The second prince, for the sake of party fighting, ignored the lives of the people and the fate of the country. What does this matter have to do with Brother Rong and the others!"

After saying that, she stood up suddenly and walked directly to Xu Rongrong's seat.

The third prince Wu Tianxiao didn't hold him back and watched as Mu Qianyin lifted up her skirt and trotted away.

He stood up and wanted to chase her, but then he remembered something. He picked up an object from beside the seat and put it in his arms. Shi Shiran chased after his wife: "Slow down."

Mu Qianyin ignored him, walked to Xu Rongrong in a few steps, and blocked Concubine Shu's gaze with her back.

She smiled and said, "Sister Rong came so early."

Xu Rongrong quickly greeted him: "I have met His Highness the Third Highness and the Third Imperial Concubine."

Wu Tianxiao smiled and asked her to excuse herself. Xu Rongrong raised his head and saw the Nanyu bead hairpin on her temples. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I heard you left Beijing before and I don't know when you will come back. You Sister Mu has been talking about it since she got up early, worrying that she won’t be able to see you tonight.”

"You didn't even tell me when you came back." Mu Qianyin smiled and tapped Xu Rongrong's forehead with her fingertips, "I prepared a New Year's gift, but I don't want to take advantage of your father."

Xu Rongrong hurriedly hid back. Mu Rong was afraid that she would fall, so he reached out to hold her steady, and then half held her in his arms.

When Mu Qianyin saw this, she covered her mouth and snickered.

Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, Xu Rongrong was shocked to realize the intimacy between the two and quickly straightened up.

Mu Qianyin smiled brightly: "Why, brother Rong even gave you the Nanyu pearl hairpin left by his mother, and you still don't want him to hug him?"

Xu Rongrong blushed instantly.

Mu Rong glanced sideways at his little girl and saw that even the back of her neck was flushed with embarrassment. He said warmly: "Rongrong is thin-skinned. The third imperial concubine should not make fun of her."

Mu Qianyin glared at Mu Rong angrily: "Why are men so outgoing? Isn't this just to help you? When will you be able to marry someone like you?"

Mu Rong followed the good example and said: "The lesson taught by the third emperor's concubine is that my brother will definitely work harder."

Seeing the two of them going back and forth, inseparable from her, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but get angry: "If I had known that Sister Mu was like this, I wouldn't have come today."

"If you don't come, then I will be suffocated to death!" Mu Qianyin smiled.

Although her back was to Concubine Shu, her intimacy and warmth still reminded the person behind her not to underestimate Xu Rongrong!

After all, Wu Tianxiao is a man, so naturally he cannot get involved in the topic of women.

He took a delicate water bag from his waist and handed it to Mu Rong: "Brother Rong, look at this."

Mu Rong was looking at his little girl when he was suddenly interrupted and felt a little unhappy.

But the third prince had already stuffed the object into his hand, so he had no choice but to accept it. After looking through it briefly, he frowned: "Where did this come from? It seems to be stronger than the water bladders in the Zhou army."

"It's more than that!" The third prince smiled and opened the water bag, "This is the hot water I ordered someone to drink early in the morning. Take a look."

Mu Rong asked in surprise: "It's still hot?"

"Exactly! This is the water bag that Xiyi paid tribute to this year. It is said to be made of yak skin unique to Xiyi. My father rewarded me with one. Brother Rong, think about it, if I can use this yak skin in the Zhou army The water bag made of it is a blessing."

Nowadays, most soldiers in the army use sheepskin water bladders. Although they are lightweight, they have extremely poor thermal insulation effect and can almost freeze into ice in winter.

The general's water bladder is made of cowhide. Although its thermal insulation effect is better than that of sheepskin water bladders, it is heavier.

This yak leather... is strong, light, and warm, so it is indeed suitable for military use.

Mu Rong nodded: "Your Highness is absolutely right."

Seeing his approval, the third prince was even more happy, but his smile had not yet bloomed, and he turned a little gloomy: "It's a pity that yaks only grow in Xiyi. Now that cross-border trade is closed, the yak hides from there can't be sold in China." Weekly sales.”

Mu Rong thought about it and was about to persuade the third prince to take the opportunity to persuade the emperor to reopen border trade.

But seeing Xu Rongrong looking at him, he swallowed the words on his lips to prevent her from becoming suspicious.

He smiled and replied: "So, doesn't this thing correspond to the saying that things are vaguely valuable? If my brother is greedy for such a precious thing, is Your Highness willing to part with it?"

"That won't work. This is the only thing I have. If Brother Rong wants it, go to Father!" The third prince took the water bag back from Mu Rong's hand.

Seeing this, Mu Qianyin raised her eyebrows and said, "Look at your potential! If Brother Rong wants it, give it to him. Then go to Father and ask for one later."

"What do you want, the third child? Why do you want to make trouble with your father?" The prince's voice came loudly.
