Chapter Twenty-Five: The King of E
With a handsome side face, impeccable facial contours, a beautiful nose bridge, moderately thick red lips, and his inky eyes do not contain any impurities, clear but bottomless. The sword-like eyebrows, a few strands that flew diagonally into the corners of the sideburns were tied up by cyan ribbons.
He was wearing a blue Huiyun light silk brocade robe, embroidered with an elegant and indifferent green bamboo and willow pattern on his chest, wearing a piece of blue glazed jade around his waist, and holding the jade-colored Bixuan bamboo jade fan in his hand.
"I don't seem to have seen you. After thinking about it carefully, Mu Lingzhen still didn't feel impressed. "By the way, this king almost forgot that you were in a coma at that time, so naturally you didn't see this king. Ewang Xuanzhu explained calmly.
When Mu Lingzhen heard this, the person in front of him actually claimed to be the king, besides, he just called me his second brother's slave maid, could it be: "The slave maid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask the king of Hubei to forgive me!" Mu Lingzhen immediately knelt down and bowed. (After coming to ancient times, Mu Lingzhen didn't learn anything, that is, he learned to bow and kneel to people who were older than him.) )
"How did you guess that I was the king of E, as you said?" Xuan Zhu no longer claimed to be the king, he had always been full of curiosity about Mu Lingzhen, and this time he could finally ask her properly. Leng Mu didn't dare to say it, for fear of offending the prince. ”
"I'm not like my second brother, but you say it's okay, just forgive you for your innocence. Xuan Zhu smiled and looked at Mu Lingzhen calmly. "I have long heard that the king of E likes Bise, whether it is clothing or residence, it is inseparable from Bise.
The slave maid had heard the king of Jin mention that he had a total of nine brothers, and all the other princes in the pavilion that night except for the prince, the slave and maid had already seen them one by one. Since you said that Leng Mu is your second brother's slave, and the slave and maid happen to have never seen you, among the nine princes, Leng Mu has never seen you, the king of E. Mu Lingzhen explained unusually calmly.
"You are really unusual, this is the first time I have seen such an observant and intelligent woman as you. I heard that my fifth brother is also very unusual to you, and I think it's because you are very unique!" There was something in King E's words, and Mu Lingzhen immediately defended himself when he heard it:
Leng Mu didn't dare to get the idea of approaching King Jin, let alone betraying King Jin. Moreover, the slave and maid heard, "It is difficult for one bird to perch on two branches, and it is difficult for one servant to serve two masters." The slave is stupid, afraid that after leaving the palace of the king, she will make a big mistake and set her body on fire. ”
A large number of words instantly poured out of Mu Lingzhen's mind, and she explained to King E with her strengths and weaknesses, saying that she would not leave King Qi's mansion or leave King Qi if she said anything. Please don't embarrass her again.
Sure enough, as she expected, King E was a very smart person, so he naturally knew what she meant. "Well said! I just like to make friends with smart people like you. It is difficult for one bird to perch on two branches, and it is difficult for one servant to serve two masters, this sentence is reasonable!" King E praised again and again, which made Mu Lingzhen a little embarrassed.
"Lord Wang, can you tell me, how can I go out?" Mu Lingzhen didn't bother to say anything more politely, and talked directly about the topic, if she didn't mention it, it would be fine, she mentioned it like this, and the topic returned to its original position. "How did you get in, how did you get out?" a hint of cunning flashed in King E's eyes.
"I came by the sound of the flute, but the suspension bridge I was walking on suddenly broke, and I didn't know how to go back. Mu Lingzhen explained with some frustration, but who knows, the king of E remembered all the words she said. "Do you hear the flute?"
"Yes!" Mu Lingzhen didn't know what King E was doing when he asked this question, but she knew that this matter must not be simple. "Then have you seen the person who played the flute?" King E's face was full of doubts, did he just want to ask for clarification? Mu Lingzhen didn't understand King E's doubts, but she was willing to tell the truth if she Mu Lingzhen knew.
"The slave didn't see anyone else here, only a flute. Because the flute suddenly flew towards me just now, I hurriedly squatted down, but as soon as I turned around, I saw you, the prince, and you know the rest of the matter, so you don't need to talk about it!"
Mu Lingzhen didn't know how to describe it, after all, the flute would fly on its own, which sounded too fake. But who knows: "I see, I can't imagine that you can actually see the other side of Xiao, is this deliberately arranged by God, or is it because you are her?"
"Who is she...??" King E said halfway through, and then stopped talking, which made Mu Lingzhen's heart itch. So, she turned on the coquettish mode, pulled the corner of Xuanzhu's clothes and said, "Lord Wang, just tell the slave maid! Please, okay!"
King E sighed and reluctantly agreed to her: "Okay, I won't hide it from you, but if you want to claim it to the outside world, you must not say that I told you, otherwise my second brother will not let me go, of course, it would be better if I could hide it in my heart." ”
"Don't worry, the princess! The slave and maid will be tight-lipped and will never reveal half a word. "Unexpectedly, every prince is actually afraid of that cold ice cube, how did he do it?" Mu Lingzhen secretly wondered in his heart.
I remember that the king of E told her at that time that the king of Qi once had a person he liked, and the two of them had known each other since childhood: "My second brother once went to the territory when he was eight years old, as for how they met, I don't know very well, I only know that she saved my second brother twice, and every time she rescued, she almost put her life into it." Mo Sheng also knew about this, and he was there at the time.
I remember that the second brother once said, he said that the girl is different from others, she doesn't like to talk, and she also knows martial arts and magic, no matter where she goes, she will always carry a flute on her body, and that flute is engraved with the other side of the flower totem name Xiao is the other side of the flute.
Mu Lingzhen clearly expected that the flute just now must be Xiao on the other side. "What's that girl's name?" asked Mu Lingzhen when she came back to her senses. "No one knows the girl's real name, including my second brother.
"Why? Didn't she tell King Qi?" King E shook his head and said, "Not because she didn't want to tell, but because she didn't know what her name was, and she lost her memory."
Therefore, at that time, I didn't know that she was the princess of the Danqi clan and our Nanyue Kingdom, and I couldn't imagine that the holy spirit girl with the status of divine dignity was her. "It was precisely because I didn't know that my second brother gave her a name, called: Mu-Ling-You. ”
"Mu Lingyou!" Mu Lingzhen was shocked, because she felt that this name was so similar to her real name. (Mu Lingzhen, Mu Lingyu) "That's right, her name is Mu Lingyou, and the reason for this name is because my second brother likes her."
