The Wife is First

The next day, Mu Hanzhang woke up in Jing Shao's arms, with warm breath on his neck. A slender leg was draped over him, making one leg numb.

Shifting uncomfortably, the person holding him slowly woke up and breathed softly: "Jun Qing..." He called in a daze, with a lazy nasal voice.

"Well, it's time to get up." Mu Hanzhang moved again. Unexpectedly, the person holding him not only did not let go, but hugged him again.

"There's no need to go to court, so what's the rush?" Jing Shao buried his face against the person in his arms and rubbed it.

"Didn't the prince have an appointment with Mr. Li today?" Mu Hanzhang wanted to say that my concubine would come to say hello after breakfast. What if he saw them still in bed.

Jing Shao reluctantly lingered for a while before getting up. After three battles in his last life, he had almost no chance to sleep in such a relaxed manner. After entering the prison, he did not have such conditions, only the cold bluestone and dirty Dirty hay. Therefore, he found himself becoming more and more obsessed with warm and clean things.

Looking at Mu Hanzhang who put on his coat elegantly, the snow-white coat he wore today made him look spotless. Jing Shao rested his head on his hand, lying on his side on the bed and watching the ray of sunshine from the skylight shining on the person who looked like an immortal. He thought in a daze that this person was probably the warmest and cleanest being in the world!

The appointment with Li Yanqing was at noon, so Jing Shao was not in a hurry to go out after breakfast. He sat on the Arhat bed and drank tea with his wife.

"Madam and two aunts are here to say hello." Zhixi came in to announce.

After Mu Hanzhang nodded, Song Lingxin and his two concubines walked in and saluted the princess. Seeing that Jing Shao was there, he naturally bowed to him first.

When Yanji Liu stood up, she was a little slower than the others. She seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and her body swayed forward and fell forward.

Mu Hanzhang subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but unexpectedly Jing Shao reacted faster and pulled her up. Just kidding, she would fall into Jun Qing's arms!

"Your Majesty..." Yan Ji raised her autumn eyes and looked at Jing Shao, "I feel unwell and bumped into you."

Mu Hanzhang turned his outstretched hand, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, as if he didn't see anything.

Jing Shao frowned, obviously not seeing the autumnal meaning in those beautiful eyes. Yanji's fall reminded him that in the previous life, she seemed to have fallen into his arms in the garden, and then he fell into his arms. He found her extraordinary appearance and doted on her for a while. However, when the palace was in trouble, this woman mysteriously disappeared. Now that I think about it, she was sent by the eldest prince, so she must have had a share of the credit for those criminal evidences back then.

Yanji couldn't help but feel happy in her heart when she saw that the prince kept staring at her. He still had a weak look on his face, which made Song Ling grit her teeth secretly, what a fox!

Seeing this situation, Ms. Li rolled her eyes, stood aside and said nothing.

"Princess, what I mentioned yesterday..." Song Lingxin took a step forward, breaking the strange atmosphere in the room.

"It has been left to Duofu," Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes, blew on the tea foam on the surface, and took a sip of hot tea, "I have discussed it with the prince, and you will still be in charge of this month's affairs. On the second day of next month Just give me all the account books in your hand."

The smile on Song Lingxin's face froze for a moment, and she turned to look at Jing Shao. Jing Shao just turned to look at Mu Hanzhang: "Then you will be busy next month?"

"There are many things to do. If the princess wants to take over next month, I'm afraid she will have to be busy for a long time." Seeing Jing Shao interjecting, hope ignited in Song's eyes, and she hurriedly agreed.

"I'm a little busier than now, and I have nothing to do." Mu Hanzhang said to Jing Shao.

"Then while I have nothing to do this month, I will take you out to play for a few days." Jing Shao frowned and didn't say much since the concubines were present.

Song Lingxin's smile became even stiffer, her face turned a little blue, and she left with her two concubines. After coming out of the door, she pulled the handkerchief fiercely. The two concubines looked at each other. Li stepped forward and said, "I have been thinking about the scented tea I drank at my sister's place the day before yesterday."

Song Lingxin glanced at them. She used to think that these two women were an eyesore, but now that they had strong enemies, they had to win over her first. So, with a few polite words, he invited them to the Little Flower Hall for tea.

"A man can do anything in the inner palace without losing face as a scholar!" In the small flower hall, Song Lingxin knocked her cup heavily on the table.

"He is being favored now. I'm afraid my sister can't compete with him." Yanji narrowed her fox eyes, her charming look was far different from her previous delicate and invincible appearance.

"But I heard that the prince stayed in Dongyuan for the past two days but did nothing," Mrs. Li said with a smile. "He fell ill on the second day of the wedding. I heard that the injury was serious. Moreover, I concubine Yi It seems that there must be some agreement between him and the prince."

"How do you say this?" Song Lingxin became more energetic now. Li had a good relationship with those maids, and people in the prince's house would also send her messages.

"I heard that the princess and the prince had a quarrel in the house that day when they were taking the medicine, and they said they wanted to write a divorce letter." Mrs. Li said confidently about the information she had learned.

"So, the prince is planning to find a suitable opportunity to divorce him?" Yan Ji added a handful of firewood at the right time.

"Huh, if that's the case, once he maintains his status, it will be easy to find a reason to divorce him." Song Lingxin's face showed a smile again, then she will make good use of this month to leave a " “Perfect” stall!

And the prince, who was being cared about by a group of virtuous concubines, was clinging to his princess's side to watch her painting.

"Why did the prince run out to practice martial arts yesterday?" Mu Hanzhang saw him looking directly at him and found a topic to chat with him.

"Going to find someone to fight with," Jing Shao lay on the table, curious about his nimble pen tip, "What are you drawing?"

"Birthday wishes picture," the wolf hair between the fingers was spread out on the rice paper like a cloud, "next month is my father's birthday."

"I didn't let him set foot in Yanyin last time. I let him go to the northwest to sell horses." Jing Shao remembered what happened when he came back last time and told him smoothly.

"Trading horses?" Mu Hanzhang's pen tip paused, and a black spot appeared on the Nanshan stone. He quickly added a few strokes to turn it into moss.

"Well," there are some things that can't be said yet, so Jing Shao didn't intend to explain more. He stood up and picked up a pen, "Why is it so troublesome to draw a birthday picture? I'll draw one for you."

Mu Hanzhang laid out a piece of paper for him to see what he wanted to draw. I saw Jing Shao getting angry and swiping his pen. After a few strokes, an ugly turtle appeared on the paper.

"This..." Mu Hanzhang's mouth twitched, "Is this a birthday picture?"

"The thousand-year-old king and the eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, isn't this a birthday picture?" Jing Shao said proudly.

"Pfft~" Although it was disrespectful to his father, Mu Hanzhang couldn't help laughing, "If the prince gives this picture to my father, I'm afraid he will make others laugh."

"Then I'll give you the painting first, and then give me this one on Mrs. Beiwei's birthday." Jing Shao raised his painting and looked at it, then said to Yunzhu beside him, "Go and frame it."

"Yes." Yunzhu rolled up the painting while suppressing a smile.

Seeing that Jing Shao was still lying in the small study at noon, Mu Hanzhang urged him to go out and do business.

"You come with me, I will tell him a few words, and I will take you to the outskirts of the city in the afternoon." Jing Shao thought about taking Jun Qing to taste the snacks in the south of the city, and then to see the peach blossoms in his brother's village. Is it gone? These things he liked in his previous life had not been seen since he woke up, and he wanted to take Jun Qing to see them.

Mu Hanzhang couldn't defeat him, so he had to change his clothes and go with him.

Upstairs in Juxian Tower, Li Yanqing rubbed his hands happily: "Your Majesty... who is this?" Seeing the unfamiliar face behind Jing Shao, the smile on his face became a little wary.

"This is Mr. Qing Kejun from my house. It's okay." Jing Shao pulled Mu Hanzhang to sit down casually, "I asked you to come here today to tell you that this business will no longer be able to continue."

"Your Majesty!" Li Yanqing was shocked, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Did something happen?"

"There are some rumors in the court. It's better to restrain yourself this year." Jing Shao poured himself a glass of wine. "You go to Ren Feng. I have told him the specific regulations. He will tell you what to do in the future." Yesterday When I went to Biezhuang, I told him about the Yanyin business.

After Li Yanqing left, Mu Hanzhang was silent for a moment and then said, "Did something happen to the prince in the court?"

Jing Shao looked at him, curled his lips and smiled: "Nothing happens now, but has Jun Qing heard of the legends in the capital?"

Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Is it the rumor that King Cheng can cure children who cry at night?"

"Yeah." His Jun Qing was really smart, and Jing Shao felt that talking to him was the easiest thing.

"The symptoms of this matter must be treated separately. Right now, we need to treat the symptoms first." Mu Hanzhang played with the wine cup in his hand and slowly rubbed the rim of the cup.
