urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 190 Pretending to be Deaf
In the Daqing Dynasty, the general Imperial Guards only changed their shifts every day and night.

Anyway, there are also shops where they live in the periphery.

Of course, even if it's a shift change, if you don't want to come out, you can still go to the martial arts academy to practice martial arts to pass the time, or you can go to the academy to read books.

However, Qin Mu is now the commander of the imperial guards, and he can only leave the palace once every three to five days.

If this happened before Qin Mu got married, Qin Mu would definitely not feel bad, on the contrary, he would be very happy, after all, he spends a lot of time with His Majesty.

This will not only make him familiar, but also allow the Holy One to remember his name, which is a good thing that many people would not envy.

But now that Qin Mu is married, thinking of his well-behaved and charming wife alone in the mansion facing the kind-hearted mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he feels heavy in his heart, worried about putting the little white rabbit in the wolf's den.

Because of this, on the first day he entered the palace, he was really worried. Even in his dreams, he dreamed several times that his little wife was killed by them and knelt there.

It was cold and rainy outside, and Zhao Zhao was punished to kneel outside, crying miserably, calling for help by his name.

He woke up with a start from his nightmare.

Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, he could only comfort himself, even if they wanted to do something, there would be Mother Wen beside Zhaozhao to remind her.

Even if Nanny Wen is useless, there are still two maids who can use martial arts, and she has already told Zi Xiao that if something happens to Zhao Zhao, she must protect her desperately.

He took a deep breath, feeling that he couldn't fall asleep even lying here, so he simply got up and went outside to practice martial arts.

Of course there are guards patrolling outside. Of course, there are strict regulations. Each team of ten people is absolutely not allowed to act alone. Otherwise, not only will you lose your head, but you will also implicate your family.

There were also eunuchs and court ladies supervising them, and none of the imperial guards dared to go one step further.

Even Qin Mu didn't dare to wander around, so he just went to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts.

In the palace, you can live longer by being careful.

And Qin Mu is only newly married now, and he still wants to grow old with Zhao Zhao and have a complete family, so naturally he dare not be careless.

It was about the beginning of Yinshi, and the imperial guards were either sleeping in the room, or patrolling and guarding outside, and there was no one here.

There are not even a few lanterns, floating with the howling cold wind, reflecting the trees like ghost shadows.

Fortunately, Qin Mu is very familiar with the road here, even if he forced his eyes, he would not go wrong.

Suddenly, he sensed movement, and for some reason, his body moved faster than his brain, and he hid behind the trees in a flash.

Three eunuchs walked into the martial arts arena from the other side, one of them was still guarding the door, after about a cup of tea, another eunuch came out, looked around vigilantly, and then left together.

For the imperial palace, not only the imperial guards are familiar with the path here, but also the eunuchs and maids are more familiar with it.

Qin Mu hesitated for a while, but quietly followed.

Although it is said that the imperial guards are absolutely not allowed to act alone, but he is already the commander of the imperial guards, just like the commander, he is allowed to walk around the inner palace alone.

The more he followed, the more frightened he became, because they were walking in the direction of the Charity Palace, where the empress dowager and the concubines of the first emperor lived.

And he is not very familiar with this place, now that the lights are in the dark, he stepped on a branch, and there was a little movement, and the two eunuchs in front quickly turned around and rushed over.

Qin Mu...turned around and ran away.

Are you kidding me, there are some things you can't touch, and he's not stupefied.

Besides, unless I can kill them all silently in the first place, what else would they do if they shouted for a thief?
He has not forgotten that he is a man, and this is indeed the place where the emperors and concubines lived. If he is suspected of having evil intentions, then his life will be over.

Qin Mu's martial arts is not the highest, nor is he the smartest, but he has a very keen intuition.

He ran and jumped, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

The two eunuchs couldn't catch up with anyone, so they hurried back to report to their master.

In Xiang'an Hall, the window screens reflected the burning red candles in the room.

Candlelight shines on the beautiful woman on the couch through the curtain.

Concubine Jia, who is over forty years old and still has a charm, is as beautiful as a begonia at the moment, obviously after being nourished.

When she heard the eunuch's reply, she frowned slightly: "Did no one notice when the prince left?"

Eunuch Li said cautiously: "I'm not sure about it, I suspect that someone is following me because I'm near the Palace of Mercy."

"Well, let's just pretend it's not the case." Dowager Jia closed her eyes, "I've been smarter these days, and I'll walk around tomorrow to see if there's any movement."

"Yes, slave, remember."

"By the way, find a way to spread the word, find a way to leak that secret passage, and let people go to the concubines of the Holy One."

Concubine Jia's voice was still very gentle: "It's too quiet and boring in the harem, we still need something new to make people happy."

The two eunuchs were horrified when they heard it. In such a short period of time, the concubine thought of blaming others, and maybe she could still fish in troubled waters. It was really too cruel.

But this one, still can make the prince never forget her, at least come in to accompany her four or five nights every month.

At this moment, Qin Mu returned to the small room where he lived.

He is in command now, so he doesn't have to sleep in a Datong bunk, but can have his own independent room.

What happened today was too shocking, and he had to calm down slowly.

Originally thought that there were not many women in the palace, so there would be no disasters.

Now that I think about it, my thinking is too simple. Where there are people, there will be struggles, let alone the inner courtyard of the palace?

Here lived the emperor of Daqing Dynasty, the supreme ruler of the world, whose power and wealth would be taken by others.

Then I accidentally bumped into this scene now, should I say it?

Are you pretending to be deaf and dumb, or are you seeking wealth and wealth?
He felt even less sleepy now, but it wasn't because he missed his wife, but because he was worried that if he had told the truth, if he was involved in a court affair, he would still end badly.

But it's not that if you don't say it, you'll be fine. In the harem, there are not many people who can act alone. He is worried that he will be targeted by someone with a heart in the end.

Hey, now I know that the palace is indeed a place of right and wrong.

...

At the beginning of Maoshi, Zisu and Zhichun came to serve the princess and get up.

But even Mu Zhaozhao, when he was in Meng's house, slept until he woke up naturally most of the time, and he preferred to stay in bed in winter.

So when they heard them urging themselves to get up, they shrank back into the bed instead: "It's not yet dawn, I'll lie down for a while, don't make noise."

It's so cool to be alone, in one room, in one bed.

She read a casual book last night and fell asleep around the end of Haishi. Now at this time, she naturally wants to sleep for a while.

"Concubine Shizi, the old lady asked you to pass in a short while, if you can't afford it now, it will be too late."

Zisu said that the servant had offended her, but she swiftly lifted off the bright red brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks, and applied the veil soaked in cold water to her face.

This time, Mu Zhaozhao's sleepiness was frozen to death.

Facing the 'ruthless' maid, Mu Zhaozhao could only hammer on the bed board: "It's too much to disturb people's dreams. The old lady herself is too old and can't sleep, so she came to torment me. It's really too deceitful."

In the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, at the beginning of Maoshi, it is five o'clock in the morning, and the sky is also bright.

But at this time of winter, the sky is still dark.

I don't have to go to court or go to the academy, so why do I have to get up so early just to serve the old lady?
Mu Zhaozhao decided in his heart that he must make the old lady regret it, so that she would never let him go to sleep in the morning and evening.

After she got up to wash and wash, she ate another bowl of lotus seeds and eight treasures soup, and then she set off with four servant girls.

When they came to the old lady's yard, it was already brightly lit.

The one who came to greet them was a woman in her fifties, with a round bun, a silver hairpin, and a camel-bottomed tufted jacket. She had a round, chubby, kind and shrewd face, and she looked honorable. .

"Your concubine is here, please come inside."

After the old woman led her in with a smile on her face, she said to the four servant girls who followed her: "The old lady doesn't like too many people hanging around in front of her, so please let the imperial concubine let them all wait outside."

In this cold weather, if we wait at the door, the chilly north wind will blow all these delicate maids wither like flowers damaged by frost and snow.

Mu Zhaozhao replied calmly: "Okay, you all wait outside."

Fortunately, before she came, she thought that such an incident might happen, and specially told the maids to wear thicker clothes.

Anyway, she wouldn't let the maids stay too far away from her, because she was afraid that if the old lady didn't play cards according to reason, she would suffer a disadvantage.

If there are them outside, if it is impossible to call for help, they will rush in to save themselves.

She had figured it out a long time ago, anyway, this is not her serious grandmother, no matter how obedient she is, they don't regard herself as a relative, so why should she wrong herself so much?
She cherishes her little life now, her goal in this life is to have two or three children, so that she can be free from disease and disaster, and enjoy the glory and wealth of her life.

The four servant girls all responded and stood guard at the door respectively.

But it turned out that Zhichun and Nianxia were approaching the door, with daggers hidden in their sleeves, and after Shi Zifei entered, they even pricked up their ears and listened intently to the movement inside.

There is an earth dragon in the house, and it is warm when you enter it, and there is a faint fragrance of Buddha.

Mu Zhaozhao was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the old lady was also a believer.

Otherwise, Buddha incense would not be used in this room.

She followed the mother-in-law and walked in. There were several octagonal glazed lamps burning in the inner room, which was very bright.

Going around Songhe Yannian's screen, and came to the twig sandalwood bed, the old lady was just about to get out of bed, when she saw her coming in, she smiled: "The imperial concubine is here, come and help me."

After speaking, he glanced at the blue cotton shoes embroidered with plum blossoms on his feet.

This clearly meant for Mu Zhaozhao to put on shoes for her.
