Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 228 Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by
At dusk, Zuo Mu, who was full of wine and food, took two sets of riding clothes, one black and one white, a few pairs of boots, and a large box full of puddings, and finally went back to Kang Wang's mansion in high spirits.

"Princess, you are finally back, go in and have a look, the prince is in the room." Zuo Mu had just walked into the yard, when she saw Mother An eagerly greet her, and whispered in her ear.

"Room? Didn't he go out with Bai Qi to run errands today?" Zuo Mu was taken aback and asked in disbelief.

During the recent period, it may be the problem of the army in Lingnan, Sima Cheng would sneak out with Bai Qi almost every morning, and didn't come back until lunch time.

"No, Young Master Bai didn't come at all today." An Momo shook her head firmly and said, "My lord has asked me several times this afternoon, when will you come back?"

Well, isn't that right, how could I forget about this, Bai Qi is being sent around by Shan'er at home, how can he spare time to come here to find Sima Cheng.

"However, when I left, it seemed that some people said that they would not come back for lunch. The prince should be mentally prepared. How did he eat at noon?"

"My lord stayed in his room all day. He said he had no appetite and only ate a few pieces of dim sum for lunch. He seemed to have something on his mind." Nanny An was still a little uneasy, and reminded emphatically
"Is there something on your mind?" Zuo Mu thought for a while, as if nothing serious happened in the mansion recently, "Did anything happen in the mansion this morning?"

Mother An thought for a while, "I don't know the specifics. It seems that a little eunuch came in a hurry at noon, saying that he came to preach the emperor's oral order. He went into the room and told the prince himself. We don't know the specific content."

"Oral order?" Zuo Mu was taken aback. Could it be that something is happening in the palace again?
"Okay, I understand, you can go to work first."

After dismissing Nanny An, Zuo Mu quickly walked towards the room.

Opening the door curtain, he saw Sima Cheng frowning, half leaning on the couch, seemingly engrossed in reading.

After such a long time of contact, Zuo Mu has discovered a pattern: when Sima Cheng is in a bad mood, nine out of ten times he is in this posture, frowning and pretending to be reading.

But in fact, he didn't read a single word.

He quietly went to the back to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the page number of the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand was really the page he read yesterday.

"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable again?" Zuo Mu reached out to touch Sima Cheng's forehead and asked with concern.

"No, it's very boring to be alone at home, so I miss you." Sima Cheng stretched out his hand to hold Zuo Mu's hand, and squeezed it lightly.

Suddenly, his nose sniffed in the air, and he turned his head in disbelief and said, "What? Did you drink today?"

"Oh, just a little."

Zuo Mu touched his slightly hot face, sat down beside Sima Cheng, leaned his head on her shoulder,
"After watching Shan'er in the morning, I went to see Nishang Yu with Zhaoran. The Yunshang girl was so enthusiastic that she insisted on staying with us for dinner. A few of us had a couple of drinks on a whim."

"Neon clothes and feathers?" Sima Cheng frowned and thought for a while, "Just that woman who is attracted to Yeran and can earn a lot of money?"

"Hey, what's the situation?"

Hearing Sima Cheng's question, Zuo Mu was taken aback for a moment, then turned to stare at Sima Cheng and asked incredulously,
"I didn't expect that you, a prince who doesn't leave home, even know this gossip."

"What's so strange about this, everyone in Quanding City, except Yeran's big piece of wood, probably knows about it." Sima Cheng stretched out his hand and flicked Zuo Mu's forehead, saying indifferently.

"Well, it turns out that Yun Chang's thoughts have already been like Sima Zhao's, and everyone on the road knows." Zuo Mu said helplessly, covering his forehead.

"Who?" Sima Cheng was startled, "Sima...Zhao, who is he? Why didn't I know there was such a person in our Sima family?"

"It's not from your family, it's from someone else's family in history, it has nothing to do with your family." Seeing Sima Cheng's startled look, Zuo Mu laughed.

After finishing speaking, he remembered something, got up and picked up a white riding suit, put it on his body, twirled around in front of Sima Cheng and showed off, "How is it? Does my dress look good?

This is the improved riding suit that Yunshang just designed. It is fresh out of the oven, and it is the only one in the world. "

"It looks good, it looks good, we Mu'er look good in anything we wear." Sima Cheng took Zuo Mu's hand, looked Zuo Mu up and down, and praised him sincerely.

Suddenly remembered something, carefully observed Zuo Mu's expression, and asked seriously, "Mu'er, do you really want to go hunting?"

"I can't say I really want it, I just think it should be fun."

Seeing that Sima Cheng was not in high spirits and looked preoccupied, Zuo Mu asked curiously, "What's the matter, what happened in the mansion today?"

"It's not a big deal."

Sima Cheng pulled Zuo Mu back into his arms with all his strength, sighed softly, and said helplessly,
"I used my physical discomfort as an excuse to hand over a note to the higher-ups saying that my wife and I couldn't go for the autumn hunt, so that's fine.

Unexpectedly, he refuted it mercilessly, and said in a high-sounding way:
Why are the princes and generals of the neighboring countries hunting this time, it is a good time to show our national prestige in Xixia. At such an important moment, how can I, the only prince, not show my face?I don't know, others think that there is a rift between us brothers and we are not in harmony? "

"Hey, it's like this again, these years they will pretend to be superficial." Seeing that Sima Cheng was a little disappointed, Zuo Mu comforted softly, "You don't have to pay too much attention to it, people like them are really serious. Don’t have too high expectations.”

"I don't care about it. I was thinking about it, and you will have to follow the wind and dust for a while, and you will inevitably suffer again." Sima Cheng held Zuo Mu's waist from behind, and rubbed her hair affectionately. "However, since you are so yearning for Autumn Hunting, then our trip is worth it, and we have the right to go on an autumn outing as a couple."

"Originally, they let them go, let's go, at most, we will behave negatively at that time, just don't lean forward." Zuo Mu thought of something, stretched out his hand and pulled something, and shook it in front of Sima Cheng, "Yes Now, guess what this is?"

Seeing this treasure in front of him, Sima Cheng was startled suddenly, "The silkworm ice silk?!"

"Totally correct, wow, as expected of our well-informed Lord Kang, who even knows this,"

Seeing that Sima Cheng said his name all of a sudden, Zuo Mu got up and wrapped the ice silk around his arm like a water sleeve and shook it off, excitedly said, "It's not like Zhaoran and I are so stupid when we first saw it. If you want it, what do you think it is Hada or ordinary silk cloth?"

"Why do you have this thing? Xue Mu gave it to you?" Sima Cheng didn't know what suddenly came to his mind, and asked Zuo Mu nervously.
