Prince Consort

Chapter 39 The Change of the Capital (6)
Mu Tusu straightened her face with one hand, forcing her to continue looking at him.Just as she turned her gaze back to Mutusu, Mutusu bent down and began to kiss her.Bai Zhi accepted his intimacy awkwardly.

He kissed extremely tenderly, as if he was tasting a glass of fine wine, but he wanted to drink too much.Bai Zhi wraps her hands around his neck, pandering to him unskillfully.Bai Zhi was kissed so tenderly by Mu Tusu, her mouth was filled with the aroma of wine, she thought she was drunk.

Bai Zhi was thinking, how much she disliked that family. It has been a month since she got married, and she has no thoughts of homesickness, only thinking about Bai Shu occasionally.Maybe she was really disappointed with Bai Yuan.As a dowry maid, Hongqiao followed Bai Zhi to Prince Gong's mansion. She is lively and likes to chat. She gets along very well with the servants and maids in the mansion, and she finds out a lot of things.

Hongqiao is a person who can't hide her words, and whenever she has new news, she shares it with Bai Zhi.Bai Zhi naturally listened attentively, and when she entered Prince Gong's residence, there was no harm in knowing more about it.

"I heard that Prince Gong only married Princess Gong in his life. At that time, Prince Gong was still the eldest son, and the concubine was just the daughter of someone who moved to Sucheng. There was still a big difference in status. At that time, Prince Gong's father, Prince Lu, didn't say anything. The concubine was not allowed to enter the house, but the stubborn prince was not convinced and said that he would never marry for life. What is even more shocking is that Prince Gong never mentioned the matter of marriage again. Su Cheng was looking for the princess, and when he learned that the princess had not married in the past ten years, Prince Lu was moved by this, so he nodded. Miss, ah! Look at my head, I should be called madam! You say that someone like Prince Gong, Why don't you say no? Do you have to marry Miss into the family as a concubine?" Hong Qiao seemed a little resentful at Bai Zhi's marriage as a concubine.

On the contrary, Bai Zhi's heart is much wider than Hong Qiao's.The meaning of the prince is actually very clear.Leaving aside whether he likes her or not, he definitely doesn't like her background.Although she is a prostitute, but she is a member of Bai Yuan's family, so he can't be happy.Prince Gong's cousin, Concubine Hui, is the biological mother of the third prince. The two have been close since childhood, and the relationship can be seen. He is naturally on the side of the third prince, while Bai Yuan is a member of the Taifu, so he is naturally on the side of the prince. , and Bai Yuan is also in charge of the military department, the two are in an opposing relationship, and friction is inevitable.If my son married someone from the Crown Prince's side, it would be unjustifiable to Concubine Hui, let alone herself. There may be her own reasons, such as being pregnant out of wedlock, or having a bad reputation outside. In short, many reasons add up. He didn't let go, and only let her be Mu Tusu's concubine.Of course, Bai Zhi has reason to believe that Mu Tusu will not follow his father's lead and not marry for ten years.Princess Gong can wait, maybe she can too, but it's in the nunnery.

Bai Zhi then replied to Hongqiao: "It's hard for you not to feel inferior, and followed the master who came in as a concubine."

"What low self-esteem do I have? Everyone in the house knows that the prince dotes on the young lady very much, and often won't let the young lady get out of bed."

"..." Bai Zhi felt that this had nothing to do with petting.

"Huh? Miss, did you paint the eyebrows yourself today? It's really ugly, Hongqiao can help you paint it again." Hongqiao hurriedly went to the dressing table to find a carbon stick, but was stopped by Bai Zhi with a blushing face: "no need."

"But miss, the painting is really ugly. Today I have lunch with the princess. You are so rude."

"..." Bai Zhi was a little entangled, and felt reluctant and inappropriate to paint again.The ugly eyebrows were naturally not made by her.

Before dawn in the morning, he lay on her body, heaving and falling, covered in sweat.Afterwards, she thought about tidying up, lest Hongqiao come in and see her in a mess.As soon as she sat at the dressing table, she habitually tidied herself up and put on her makeup.Who would have thought that Mu Tusu still had the strength to stand behind her in a coat, watching her make up with burning eyes.Seeing her start to draw her eyebrows, he moved his eyes, took the carbon rod in her hand, kissed her snow-white neck with his lips, and sprinkled his hot breath on her neck: "Let me try."

So, she let him try it like a demon.

Then, tragedy struck.

Her eyebrows were indeed painted so ugly by him.Although he also has self-knowledge, he has repeatedly emphasized that he is a novice, and practice will make perfect in the future, so that she must not let him down. These ugly eyebrows must be kept, saying that they are for his "resolution".At that time, Bai Zhi could be said to be dumbfounded, and reluctantly agreed.Now, Hongqiao is going to repaint. If Mutusu came back early at noon and didn't see her ugly eyebrows, he might "abandon himself".

"That's all, let's leave it at that." Bai Zhi finally decided to keep ugly eyebrows for Mu Tusu's "resolute" use.

Hong Qiao doesn't understand Bai Zhi, she just feels that married women don't care about their looks anymore, and dare to come out to meet people with such ugly eyebrows...

It was almost lunch time when Mu Tusu and Prince Gong came back.Prince Gong's expression is very good today, the corners of his mouth are raised, and he doesn't know what the emperor said when he went to court today.On the contrary, Mu Tusu's complexion was completely opposite to that of Prince Gong's, extremely pale, completely different from his rosy complexion when he went to court in the morning.

Hongqiao told Bai Zhi about the scene she saw just now: "Madam, do you think the general quarreled with Prince Gong?"

Bai Zhi replied: "If there is a quarrel, how can one person be happy and the other worry? Something must have happened."

Bai Zhi actually has some ideas in her mind.Calculated according to the days in the dream, Mu Tusu should be sitting in the seat of Old General Pei at this time, right?
And indeed it is.During lunch, Prince Gong talked about this matter with Wang Hao directly at the dinner table, and he didn't know if he happened to say it at the dinner table, or he deliberately told Bai Zhi.Bai Zhi had already expected it, so she was not very surprised. On the contrary, the princess asked in amazement: "Old General Pei has done a lot of battles. In this battle, there is hard work without merit. In addition, Pei Qi's feet are disabled. This is also..."

Indeed, Old General Pei was stripped of his military power in this way, the emperor was too ruthless.Of course, only outsiders like the concubine and Bai Zhi would say this, Prince Gong only said: "I don't understand."

Tense confrontation and weakening the opponent's military power are the first essentials.

This meal, Bai Zhi was full, but Mu Tusu couldn't eat.This made Bai Zhi a little surprised. Old General Pei was a princeling. As a party of the three princelings, his hostile forces were weakened and he strengthened himself. Shouldn't he be like Prince Gong, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth?

Back in the room, Bai Zhi took off the court clothes for Mu Tusu, and Mu Tusu suddenly said to Bai Zhi: "Zhi'er, if you are an official in the same dynasty, you should work together, how can you fight with each other to seize power?"

Bai Zhi helped Mu Tusu put on his casual clothes, and while buttoning him, asked him, "Are you a woman?"

Mu Tusu smiled and said, "Maybe. I was brought out by Old General Pei, and he taught me a lot. Old General Pei had ten children in his life, and the first four sons all died in battle, and because of an accident, his wife and concubines died. The sons and daughters died, and only Pei Qi, Pei Jiu, and Pei Shi remained. Now, Pei Qi's legs are disabled, and Pei Jiu's whereabouts are unknown. It's good that Pei Shi married the son of the Grand Tutor, but also..." Mu Tusu smiled and stopped talking.

Bai Zhi would never have thought that hearing about Pei Jiu's family situation came through Mu Tusu's mouth.She only knew that Pei Jiu got his name because he was ranked ninth, but she didn't know that apart from his elder brother Pei Qi, all the others were gone...

Seeing Bai Zhi who was in a daze when he heard about Pei Jiu, Mutusu's eyes dimmed a bit, he leaned over and kissed her, and asked with a forced smile, "Why are you feeling unwell today?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "Nothing, it's just that I've been hungry recently and I want to eat too much."

"What to eat?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while: "Hawthorn cake, and...the braised lion's head from the No. [-] Restaurant in Beijing."

Mutusu pinched Bai Zhi's already swollen face: "You are so fat, are you sure you still eat these?"

Ever since Bai Zhi was pregnant, she has not stopped talking. After entering Prince Gong's mansion, she has become more and more serious. Not only that, she has become more and more picky about what she eats, and she only orders things made in specific places.Of course, the No. [-] Restaurant has been called many times, and Mu Tusu often sent people to bring them here to satisfy Bai Zhi's hunger.

Bai Zhi herself felt that she was squeamish. Fortunately, she married a rich and powerful general. If she was an ordinary family, she would not be able to withstand such troubles from her.On a whim, Bai Zhi said to Mu Tusu: "This time you will accompany me to the No. [-] Restaurant to eat? There is no need for delivery."

Mu Tusu looked outside, although it was still snowing outside today, it wasn't that big, but it had accumulated two or three inches thick.He hesitated, is it appropriate to go out in such weather?Bai Zhi gave him reassurance: "Take a carriage and go there, nothing will happen."

Mu Tusu nodded in agreement.

The two of them were sitting in the same carriage, and the carriage was surrounded tightly to prevent the wind from leaking in.Bai Zhi felt depressed, her face turned red, and she was sitting in front of Mu Tusu, and Mu Tusu hugged her from behind, which made her even more uncomfortable.

Mu Tusu complained: "Are you so disgusted with the eyebrows I drew? Before going out, you even washed your face and ordered Hongqiao to draw it again."

Bai Zhi smiled: "Family ugliness must not be publicized."

"..." Mu Tusu remained silent, and lightly nibbled on her ear to relieve his hatred.Bai Zhi shrugged to avoid his attack, who would have thought that his hands were dishonest, touching her body.Bai Zhi patted his dishonest hand away: "General, respect yourself."

"I've always been extremely disrespectful to you, you understand me." Mu Tusu not only moved his hands wildly, but also pressed his lips against her neck, moving back and forth.Bai Zhi felt itchy, and twisted her body a few times, without realizing that her body was rubbing against his lower body, and after a while, she felt as if there was a hard object on her buttocks against her.

Bai Zhi said angrily, "Dirty."

Mutusu also felt that he was too impulsive and a little ashamed, but he said unforgivingly: "Who told you to tease me?"
