The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 91

When Mo Wan Qing received the news, she couldn't believe it. Was it something done by the imperial prince's cefei? The biggest issue was, this was a cefei from different household!

Although she was thrilled to see Mu Xi Yao fix lady Lin, she still needed to take into consideration their faces. After all, his fifth Highness's person cannot be beaten to a pulp by another person, right? Just as she was going to sort out the situation, she heard a servant girl reporting her that his Highness has returned.

Zhong Zheng Ming was originally worried about Mu Xi Ting. When he called to mind the lost child, his heart was in sorrow. However, once he reached the corner, he heard a commotion coming from the front. He took people and followed the noise.

After passing by several cherry apple trees, the scene before his eyes became, at once, clear. Lady Lin, who was dressed from head to toe in crimson red, knelt on the ground. She was being subdued by people and received slaps on her face. One could only make out the side profile of the woman sitting inside the pavilion. However, he's recognized her by one glance.

Zhong Zheng Ming paused for a moment and took a closer look at her. The woman's forest green dress stretched to the ground. Her beautiful hair was simply coiled up to the side. No rouge adorned her face. She was a woman of great beauty. She idly enjoyed the lake scenery with an elegant bearing. It appeared like she was intoxicated by the landscape, not disturbed at all by the outside elements.

He set a step and headed toward the pavilion. The woman inside wasn't yet aware of it. Lady Lin outside, however, wailed out.

"Your Highness! Save qie, your Highness! This vicious woman wants to beat qie to death!"

Mu Xi Yao turned at the sound of the woman's voice. She watched the refined man stride over to her.

Uh-huh. He was indeed pleasing to one's eyes. What a fine painting of a handsome man.

Zhong Zheng Ming was fond of white clothes, and that was exactly Mu Xi Yao's Achilles' heel. If he held a folding fan or wielded a sword, it would be even better. Mu Xi Yao, who was deeply poisoned by wuxia novels, let her imagination run wild.

Seeing the plain and clear appreciation of himself in her eyes, Zhong Zheng Ming was pleased inwardly. Passing the tactless lady Lin, he directly entered the pavilion.

"Greetings to your fifth Highness." Since Mu Xi Yao was heavy with a child, no matter how good was her bearing, all of her elegance was gone.

"No need for politeness. Sit." Zhong Zheng Min was a bit stupified when he saw her truly sit down in response, neither declining his offer nor acting bashful.

Right. Such a woman was exactly the one whom he'd met on the street that day and could not help but to come to her aid.

Since the moment Zhong Zheng Ming passed lady Lin without giving her a look and entered the pavilion, she has laid down the flag and stilled the drums, and completely ceased to resist.

It was truly like how that woman has said. This lady Mu was a scourge! Or else, how would his Highness......

"Won't your Highness ask qie for the reason?" Mu Xi Yao turned her head to size him up in curiosity. This man, who could stand on even ground to Zhong Zheng Lin in the previous lifetime, possessed a unique charm. He didn't make people dislike him.

"Don't tell bendian, cefei would inexplicably come here from the palace to lecture an irrelevant person?" Zhong Zheng Ming was amused by her. How could he not know of Lin'shi's temper?

"Your Highness is right to put it this way. People praise your fifth Highness for gentlemanly manners and extraordinary bearing. Qie agrees very much." Mu Xi Yao nodded in appraisal. The meaning behind her words was: if you blame me today, it would mean you are narrow-minded and not worth your reputation.
