Chapter 15: Guessing in the Air
A bright moon hung faintly, sprinkling a brilliant halo. Murong Qingxue and Dongfang Yunrui walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden, no one spoke, and they didn't know where to start.
Dongfang Yunrui landed about two steps behind Murong Qingxue, looking at the blue figure in front of him with interest. The black hair was light, the posture was graceful, and it seemed to be careless, and occasionally there was a soft sigh. She didn't take small steps like those decent young ladies, but her steps were so light that it was impossible to figure out whether she was in a happy mood or preoccupied. Dongfang Yunrui felt that this girl was simply a mystery, and he couldn't connect with the person who was crying in the Yuhu Palace just now with the pear blossom and the rain.
The night was cold and windy, Dongfang Yunrui couldn't help coughing, and the girl in front of him stopped, turned to look at him, and there was guilt in her eyes. "Lord Rui......" After coming into contact with a cold gaze, the unspoken words came to an abrupt end.
Murong Qingxue consciously took two steps back, walked side by side with him, and asked worriedly, "You, are you okay?" Dongfang Yunrui glanced at her and said lightly: "It's okay." "However, I don't see that your face is not very good, is it ......" Murong Qingxue looked at Dongfang Yunrui, and did not finish his words. "This king is fine, you don't have to blame yourself. Dongfang Yunrui didn't care, but he still couldn't stop coughing.
Murong Qingxue stood in front of him, looking at the white-clothed Shengxue in front of him, he hesitated, but still stretched out his hand and carefully probed Dongfang Yunrui's forehead. For a while, the eyes of the two suddenly made contact, and they both stood quietly. Perhaps sensing her gaffe, Murong Qingxue hurriedly withdrew her hand, lowered her head and said, "I, just want to, want to see if you have a fever." Murong Qingxue felt that her face was hot, she couldn't do this anymore, she said to herself.
There was no time to say goodbye, Murong Qingxue turned around and ran away. Dongfang Yunrui silently looked at her departing figure, feeling that tonight was like a dream, and it was a warm dream.
"Lord Wang. Ling Ran was calling him, pulling back Dongfang Yunrui's thoughts, and also making his face indifferent: "Have you done what I explained?"
"Don't worry, your subordinates have done it. Dongfang Yunrui gave a faint "um", and went to the Imperial Garden with Ling Ran one after the other.
Murong Qingxue ran all the way, her heart beating faster. She told herself that she was able to live again this time for revenge. At this time, the revenge plan has just begun, how can she be distracted at this time? Moreover, she can't treat Yun Rui like this, although she often comforts herself, just to thank Yun Rui for her dedication in her previous life, but why is she no longer calm when she sees him.
The past life is vivid, and the present life must be carefully planned. Whether you are grateful or like, wait for revenge.
Murong Qingxue was just about to go in, when she suddenly saw the clothes on her body, she immediately hesitated, and how to explain it later. Just when she was at a loss, a mischievous voice called herself: "Qingxue!"
Looking up, it turned out to be Yirong, Murong Qingxue was instantly happy: "Yirong, what are you running out for?" Yirong smiled and said, "I'm afraid you're embarrassed to be alone, so I'm waiting for you here." Murong Qingxue was really grateful to her in her heart, took her hand and smiled, and pointed her forehead with her hand: "It's still good for you to treat me." ”
Yi Rong was also laughing, but when he saw Dongfang Yunrui coming, he immediately smiled and shouted carefully: "Third brother." Dongfang Yunrui nodded at her, glanced at Murong Qingxue, and went in with Ling Ran.
"Still, are you afraid of him?" Murong Qingxue quipped. Yirong made a grimace and didn't answer her question directly, but asked, "Qingxue, when did you know my third brother?" Murong Qingxue didn't know how to answer, and said ambiguously: "It's not an acquaintance, but I've met a few times." Yirong raised her head and thought for a while, then shook her head again, Murong Qingxue looked at her like this: "What's the matter, look at your strange expression?" Yirong whispered: "Do you know who asked me to wait for you here?" Murong Qingxue was surprised: "Didn't you say that you were waiting for me here?" Could it be ......?" Yirong nodded, Murong Qingxue looked at the cold back, and her heart was a little confused.
After taking his seat, Murong Qingyi next door cast a disdainful gaze, and said in a weird manner: "Do you think that His Royal Highness King Herui will be very beautiful when he goes out, and he has not been thrown behind? ”
Murong Qingxue listened to these words full of jealousy, but only smiled slightly, and did not bother to answer. Murong Qingxing's eyes widened angrily, and he pointed at her with his finger: "You, don't be too presumptuous, do you think this is a big deal?" Murong Qingxue didn't explain, and didn't say anything nonsense to useless people, this is her style after being reborn.
Seeing that the two were a little-for-tat, Liu pulled Murong Qingxue, who shook her head and signaled her mother not to worry. Murong Qingyi's eyes stared at Murong Qingxue's clothes, and asked maliciously: "Lord Rui just summoned you, you also want to change a set of clothes, do you think that in this way he will look down on you?" Murong Qingxue glanced at her, and Yirong spoke: "Does the eldest lady have an opinion on the clothes that this princess sent Qingxue?" Murong Qingyi had just touched Yirong's nail tonight, and his face was uncomfortable at the moment, and he said again and again:" I just saw that Qingxue's clothes were so beautiful and refined, so I asked, it turned out to be a gift from the princess, no wonder it was so elegant. Yirong smiled: "So that's the case, this palace thought that this dress couldn't get into the eyes of the eldest lady." Murong Qingxue couldn't help but chuckle, Murong Qingyi could only be resentful in his heart, but he had a flattering smile on his face.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the queen nodded to Wen Qian, Wen Qian smiled and nodded. Immediately said aloud: "Spread the queen's will, in order to increase the fun of this Spring Festival dinner, there will be a small guessing game next, please participate in the young ladies enthusiastically, if you guess correctly, the queen will give an unexpected surprise." ”
Hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone's ladies and celebrities in the capital had surprises flashing in their eyes, after all, they all knew the news in advance, although this Spring Festival dinner was nominally a fun for the monarchs and ministers, but it was actually for the three princes to choose concubines. The three princes of Xiling Kingdom are all handsome and elegant, no matter which one they are assigned to, even if they are concubines, they are worthy of any woman's eagerness.
Yi Rong was also very curious about this, so she asked, "Sister Wen Qian, what kind of game is it?" Wen Qian saluted Yi Rong: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the game is very simple, it is called guessing things in the air, that is, the three princes each choose one thing to test whether the young lady here can guess in their hearts." ”
It sounds very interesting, Yirong pulled Qingxue: "Qingxue, do you want me to help you ask what it is, so that you can guess it?" Murong Qingxue smiled: "Can you ask?" Yirong stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, glanced at her three brothers who were as cold as ice, and stopped talking.
Murong Qingyi and Murong Jingli were very excited, especially Murong Jingli, her eyes stared straight at Wen Qian, as if she could see the answer by staring at Wen Qian. Wen Qian turned her head to Dongfang Haonan and asked, "I don't know if the three princes have any opinions on this?"
Dongfang Haonan knew in his heart that this was just a way to choose a concubine. Well, then pick a woman who will help you achieve great things, and a small matter, so she did not object. Dongfang Yunrui has never been keen on this matter, but it is not good to sweep the queen's interest, so he nodded.
Wen Qian turned her head to look at Dongfang Juechen, Dongfang Jiechen drank a glass of wine, and laughed: "You don't need to ask about this kind of thing to know that I am most willing to participate, so, who to start with?"
Wen Qian said with a smile, then start now, ask the three princes to take one thing and put it in the three boxes.
According to Wen Qian's words, the three of them secretly took three things and put them in the box, and the names were correspondingly pasted on the box. Although it's a game, it's still more cautious from the look. Born in the emperor's family, it is difficult to find a person with one heart, if you can meet someone who is destined this time, it is also a good thing. After Dongfang Yunrui let go, he looked at Murong Qingxue, but Murong Qingxue's heart fluctuated, and he didn't look at him, and a wave of loss rose in Dongfang Yunrui's heart.
As soon as it was ready, the box was placed in front of the queen by Wen Qian, and the three princes all went to drink behind the screen. The queen smiled at the emperor with a smile, and the emperor understood and watched the changes. All the people present today are important ministers and family members of the court, and no matter which lady is there, they will not insult their son.
Wen Qian saw that she was ready, so she said aloud: "The three princes have finished, so please write out your mystery and put it on the corresponding box." Immediately, the audience became lively, and they were all hesitating which box to guess. Wen Qian saw that the young ladies were slow to make a decision, so she said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please hurry up, if you don't guess again, you will give up." This sentence was like throwing stones at the bottom of the sea, and the official eunuch lady present quickly found the corresponding box, gently put down the note and hurried away, looking at the princes talking and laughing behind the screen with a flush on her face.
Murong Qingyi had been staring at Dongfang Yunrui for a long time, she liked him, but she didn't know him. In her heart, he was a god-like figure. If you put it wrong, you will undoubtedly waste a great opportunity. Looking at Dongfang Yunrui again, his face was light and light, and he didn't care. His princess, how could it be decided by this little game.
Murong Ningyu and Murong Jingli guessed the saber and jade pendant respectively, and put them on top of the boxes of Dongfang Haonan and Dongfang Jiechen, and looked at them with a red face after putting them down, but they didn't get any response, although they were disappointed, they still sat down with apprehension.
Jiang Shi said on the side: "Daughter, this is a great opportunity, you must seize it." This sentence made Murong Qingyi's heart mess again, from Dongfang Haonan glanced at her when she entered, she felt that the chance of being favored by Dongfang Haonan was greater, but she had liked Dongfang Yunrui since she was a child, even if he didn't look at her. Just as she was about to make a decision, her mother's words made her uneasy. In the end, she glanced at Murong Yunrui, but still passed, and put the note with "wrench" written on it. Murong Qingxue wanted to abstain, but when she saw that Murong Qingyi did not go to Dongfang Haonan, but instead arrived in front of Dongfang Yunrui's box, she frowned.
Based on her understanding, Murong Qingyi must have guessed wrong, because Yun Rui does not wear a wrench, and Murong Qingyi's conjecture is always wishful thinking, like her feelings. At this time, Murong Qingxue's plan changed, she wanted to attract Dongfang Haonan's attention, so that he could taste the taste of being deceived by the person he trusted the most. And Yun Rui, Murong Qingxue silently thought in her heart, when my revenge is avenged and I can retreat with my whole body, I will give you only the warmth of my life.
Even if you don't know each other, you still remember that the bright moon was there at that time, and she had returned from the clouds.
