Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 249 The fiancées’ arrest

Zhao Mu comforted his mother and said: "If the father is here, he will be very happy. Okay, mother, don't cry. This is something worth being happy about. At least in the future, the child and you will not have to be in that borderland anymore." Eating sand makes me anxious all day long.”

Then Zhao Mu sighed and said: "Oh! It's a pity that Uncle Ding, Sister Mei and the others don't want to leave. But it's okay to stay there. Mom, you can help me from time to time. When we, mother and son, left the capital, there was only autumn frost and winter snow. , and Ding Bo and his wife are accompanying them. Now that we are rich, we should not forget each other."

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Yes, now that we are rich, naturally we cannot forget those who used to be with us."

Zhao Ji carefully put away the imperial edict, and then said: "Since the emperor has an edict, let us hurry up and prepare without further delay. Dongxue! Call Qiu Shuang, we mother and daughter will go to the clothing store to prepare some decent clothes for the prince. ."

Although Zhao Mu wanted to say that formal court uniforms, python robes, etc. would be distributed uniformly by the Ministry of Etiquette. But seeing his mother so happy, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

In the next few days, Zhao Mu could enjoy himself at home with peace of mind.

The music and dance troupe that Zhezong rewarded him is now also maintained in the mansion. However, the status of these people is different from that of Qiu Shuang, Dongxue, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Ju.

Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are Zhao Mu's maids, and Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue are his personal maids. The beautiful women singing and dancing in front of them are Zhao Mu's female musicians.

Since the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, nobles and nobles have had the custom of supporting their families. In the Song Dynasty, officials and nobles were even proud of it. The more female prostitutes there are, the richer one is and the higher one's status is. This represents how high your status is.

Even the famous Su Dongpo once traded his pregnant concubine for a white horse.

Although these women were of low status, Zhao Ji did not treat them lightly at all.

This is not because Zhao Ji is kind-hearted, but because Zhao Ji is extra cautious. After all, when she entered the Dongping County Prince's Palace, she also started as a family actress.

In addition to being the owner's property, the housekeeper may also be a "spy" sent by the donor. When Zhao Ji was sent to the Dongping County Prince's Mansion, she was treated as a gift and bribed. He also received an order from the magistrate of Yangzhou and became his detailed work.

Zhao Ji's mission goal back then was not very difficult, or it was harmful to someone. He just wanted her to give the Prince of Dongping County a heads-up and inquire more about the preferences of other dignitaries in the capital. Then the Yangzhou magistrate could use this information to bribe other people to suit their liking.

It's a pity that the Yangzhou prefect had exhausted all his agencies, but in the end he could not avoid the fate of losing his hat. When Xining's reform failed, the old faction headed by Sima Guang began to liquidate Wang Anshi's new faction. And the Yangzhou prefect was also on Sima Guang's list of liquidators. Although the Song Dynasty did not easily kill civil servants and officials, he still died on the road to exile.

Because of this experience, Zhao Ji was very polite and wary of the women sent by the emperor. After all, no one knows if there is anyone among them sent by Zhe Sect to monitor Zhao Mu.

Although Zhao Mu also has this idea, he is not afraid of these things. He will not eat the meat that comes to his mouth. What's more, the image of himself he wanted Zhezong to see was that of a "greedy and lustful" villain.

On weekdays, Zhao Mu held Ju Jian in his left hand and Bamboo Sword in his right hand, lying on his back on Mei Jian while Lan Jian beat his legs. Maybe that's the case. Although they have been together for a long time, these four girls are exactly the same regardless of their body shape, appearance, and even their voices. If the four of them weren't wearing different colors, Zhao Mu wouldn't be able to tell who is who. But he didn't need to tell the difference.

And Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue stood by and waited at any time. The singing girls sent by Zhezong sang and danced for Zhao Mu.

Because he was going to worship at the Ancestral Temple, out of court etiquette and respect for his ancestors, Zhao Mu could only fast these days. Otherwise, Zhao Mu would have been unable to control himself with so many beautiful women around him.

Especially when Sijian was waiting for him to take a bath. Four girls were wearing tulle, dangling in front of his eyes. This is too difficult to control.

And when I go to bed at night, the autumn frost and winter snow warm my bed. Zhao Mu really admired his determination.

On this day, Zhao Mu was still enjoying singing and dancing in the back hall as usual. A voice broke the rhythm of the song and dance.

"You have closed the door to thank guests for the past few days. I thought I was sick again! It turns out that the 'daytime noisy' here has really made us worry in vain!"

Hearing this sound, the female musician's music immediately stopped. Everyone present looked toward the door.

I saw two people standing outside the door, one of whom was wearing a slim-fitting green soap robe, a gold crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. Dressed like a handsome young man. The other one was a graceful woman wearing black clothes and a black gauze hat on her head.

But seeing the scene in front of her, her hands kept trembling for some reason.

Zhao Mu was also surprised when he saw the two of them.

Because these two people are not others, the one dressed in men's clothing is his "former fiancée" Hu Yanjin, and the woman in black is naturally his "current fiancée" Mu Wanqing.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu waved his hand and said, "You all, please retreat!" After receiving Zhao Mu's order, the female musicians retreated one after another, but one of them couldn't help but look back twice before leaving. The same goes for the woman in red who led the dance before.

Looking at Zhao Mu hugging him from left to right, Mu Wanqing frowned and said coldly: "You are so glamorous in this scene! You were so extravagant just after being promoted to a noble title!"

Seeing Mu Wanqing's angry look, Hu Yanjin beside him also echoed: "Yes, you were closing the door to thank guests, so we thought you were sick, so we sneaked into the palace to see you. Unexpectedly" Hu Yanjin gave a bitter smile, "I didn't expect to delay the prince of Zhongshan and your sensuality!"

Zhao Mu also let go of the orchid sword in his hand at this time, and then he pretended to sigh and said: "Dongxue, Qiu Shuang, close the door and stay outside. No one is allowed to approach here, especially the female musicians. "

After Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue got the order, they retreated outside and closed the door.

Zhao Mu stood up at this time and said: "Alas! Actually, I also have my own 'difficulties'."

Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Ju Jian burst out laughing.

As Ju Jian smiled, the other three sisters also covered their faces and snickered.

When Hu Yanjin saw this, he also smiled and said: "Prince Zhongshan, even your maids don't believe the words you used to try to excuse us. Let's find another reason that can convince us."

Although Zhao Mu was a little embarrassed, he remained calm and said, "Mei Lan Zhu Ju, tell Princess Huyan and Princess Zhaohua who you are?"

After hearing this, Mei Jian stepped forward and saluted and said: "Mei Jian, one of the four maids under the leadership of the Lord Lingjiu Palace, pays homage to the young lady!" After saying this, the four swords all saluted Mu Wanqing.

But Mu Wanqing was quite wary. She couldn't help but take half a step back and said in surprise: "You are from Lingjiu Palace!"
