Chapter 75
"Your Highness, this is..." Mu Xi Yao looked at two-note paper Zhong Zheng Lin handed over to her. She carefully browsed the content written on it. Her eyelid slightly hung down.
"Mother consort looked over the candidates. You can pick either of the remaining two candidates for the princess consort." Zhong Zheng Lin languidly leaned against the lounge and continued skimming through the educative flashcards Mu Xi Yao has prepared for Cheng Qing.
It seems like she has put a lot of efforts. The images she drew were all to a child's taste. The little woman apparently was in good spirit.
Mu Xi Yao took a look at the densely written information about their family backgrounds and personal preferences on the two-page paper and chuckled. Did the sixth Highness want to dig out their ancestors to conduct a throughout check on them?
"Your Highness, how much can be the content written on the paper trusted?"
"Everything is just to put wool over people's eyes. The results are meaningless. As for those two people, are they pleasing to your eyes?" Zhong Zheng Lin raised his head and looked deeply into Mu Xi Yao's pitch-black eyes.
"They're not bad." Mu Xi Yao got up to sit before the dressing table. She picked a strand of hair on her temple and began to slowly comb it.
Zhong Zheng Lin put down the cards and slowly walked behind her back, watching the woman's beautiful face which became increasingly splendid in the mirror, every movement of hers contained a mellow sensuality.
"How about transferring sir Mu to Shengjing?" This year, officials will have a grand examination. The timing was just right.
Mu Xi Yao slightly creased her brows. She contemplated for a moment, "Father is already old in years. Qie doesn't want him to work too hard. Moreover, after elder sister gets married, mother will feel lonely at home. It will be better for father to hold a sinecure post."
Zhong Zheng Lin's lips curled up when he heard
Mu Xi Yao's plain honesty.
Mu Jing Zhen's "twilight years" at the age of forty were already schemed by Mu Xi Yao. He has finally found some useful information from her words. Does this woman think men's love and care for their wife is far superior to their career and future prospects?
"If sir Mu's career was smooth, he can also provide more of a protection to Jiao Jiao." Zhong Zheng Lin gently caressed her beautiful hair. His voice came out deep and slow.
Mu Xi Yao put down the fine wooden comb and rested her chin on her right hand while letting out a soft chuckle. Through the bronze mirror, she could see Zhong Zheng Lin's extraordinary handsomeness. He was currently holding onto her shoulder and meeting her eyes her in the mirror. Even inside the house, the air that surrounded him was imposing. This man's capabilities were more and more eye-catching.
"Having your Highness's protection is enough for Xi Yao of Mu clan." The woman's smile was like a flower, her watery eyes were shining with light. She spoke of "protection" but her eyes were reflecting confidence and determination, accompanied by lovable willfulness.
Zhong Zheng Lin pulled her over to hug her. He caught the back of her head and kissed her deeply.
"Are you satisfied with the post of chancellor of the Imperial College?"
Mu Xi Yao thought over the Imperial College in her mind. Can be! At least this post wasn't involved in the battle of the imperial princes. In addition, it took place in a relatively peaceful Imperial College. Above him, he had supervising ministers and below he had vice directories to assist him. Her father should be able to cope with it. Moreover, after sir Mu transfers to the capital and Zhong Zheng Lin establishes his estate outside of the palace, she can often visit lady Yu. What can she have against this?
