Chapter 60
During the period of Mu Xi Yao's convalescence, Zhong Zheng Lin went back to the barrack, training army consecutively for a month. Afterward, he returned to the capital to report on his duty and take over the charge of military inspection unit of Shengjin and its area. At this point, the sixth prince Zhong Zheng Lin has laid a foundation in Ministry of war, paving his way for the upcoming war in Mobei.
When Zhong Zhen Lin has again stepped into Dangruo courtyard, Cheng Qing was already one month and eight days old. The little guy's face has completely opened up. He was quite sturdy. His little arms and legs were dancing cheerfully at the moment. Zhong Zheng Lin took Cheng Qing from Mu Xi Yao's arms and carefully examined his black phoenix eyes. He looked more and more like him. Zhong Zheng Lin patted his little bottom. The little guy reached his hand to pull at the strand of Zhong Zheng Lin's hair at the temple, absent-mindedly sending them to his own mouth.
Mu Xi Yao went over to pick the child, taking Zhong Zheng Lin's hair out from his mouth. She used one hand to hold Cheng Qing and the other one to pat him lightly to coax him to sleep.
Babies always slept a lot. In a while, his zeal died out. He lifted both of his hands and placed them next to his mouth. He fell asleep while having his lips slightly closed. Mu Xi Yao handed Cheng Qing over to wet nurse before going back to arrange food for Zhong Zheng Lin.
After the two used meal, Zhong Zheng Lin took Mu Xi Yao's little hand and took her to sit down on the couch bed that was before the window. He hugged her waist and slowly caressed the long hair that was draped over her shoulders.
"In two days, there will be people entering the estate." Zhong Zheng Lin nonchalantly explained.
"Entering the estate?" Mu Xi Yao immediately understood.
Zhong Zheng Lin actually took initiative and disclosed that there would be people entering the estate? Could it be he took a fancy on some unusual woman? The Jianan Emperor from the previous lifetime was, in reality, unmoved by all those unique and alluring women.
Seeing the little woman dazing, Zhong Zheng Lin tapped her forehead, "Don't make random guesses. They are dancers sent by the first brother."
Yesterday, the first prince Zhong Zheng Chun used the pretext of holding a welcoming dinner for Zhong Zheng Lin to stuff him with two good-looking dancers, saying that they were for his amusement. How could Zhong Zheng Lin not know about Zhong Zheng Chun's intention? He just wanted to put some nails on his path. If they could disturb his inner yard, even better.
Zhong Zheng Lin refused him in a rather cold manner. Later, everyone started to kick up a fuss. Zhong Zheng Lin understood he stood out too much these days and has attracted the anger of many. He hung down his lids for a while and subsequently nodded, giving his assent. What's more, he looked at the first prince to thank him politely. Only, what he planned inwardly, others didn't know.
He told these things to Mu Xi Yao now so that she would know the background of those women and understood what was going on.
Mu Xi Yao was very bright. She turned up her nose at stuff like giving each other beautiful concubines as a present, putting spokes at their wheels and stirring the inner yard. Only sorts like the first prince who had brawn but not brain would do such a thing.
"Dancers are good. Qie likes the most "appreciating dances and viewing flowers." That enchanting and seductive gaze made Zhong Zheng Lin's forefinger jump.
After capturing the person in the study, he didn't even hurry to return to the main house. Instead, he has, right away, pressed Mu Xi Yao against the table and engaged in intimacies with her. Zhong Zheng Lin has waited for Mu Xi Yao to recover. His patience was completely used up. So, he naturally won't easily let her off.
