Chapter 47: The Fiancée
Nalan Mingxiu, Anping 21 years of the imperial concubine, given the name Lan Chen, the grace has not faded until today, she is the sister of the deceased queen, after the queen went, Emperor Anping handed over the young prince to her hands to raise, a raise is 12 years.
When Duan Muheng came from the Ming'an Palace, far away, through the heavy curtains, he vaguely saw the woman sleeping peacefully, holding a thread-like book with both hands, placing it on the abdomen, the slender and white ten fingers were clenched, and the light pink and glossy nails were dyed with a layer of gorgeous brilliance, which was particularly moving, and the woman's demeanor was quiet and serene, with beautiful and wise facial features, and her name was the same, just a glance made people feel like a spring breeze.
It is not the beauty of the country and the city, but the leisurely that cannot be seen at a glance, no place is not beautiful, and no place is not moving.
Duan Muheng's eyes shone complicated.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor!"
"Niangniang must be very happy to know that you are here, and the slave will report it!"
When Lingshuang, the personal palace maid beside Nalan Mingxiu, saw him, a smile of surprise appeared on her face.
Duan Muheng quietly glanced inside: "Forget it, since Lan'er is asleep, I'll come back later!" ”
For Nalan Mingxiu, his feelings are too complicated, he just came here on impulse, he really wanted to see it, but he regretted it.
The man turned around and was about to leave, Ling Shuang was a little anxious, and subconsciously stopped in front of him, wanting to say something.
"Since the emperor is here, why can't he enter the door, is the face of the concubine really so unbearable?"
A pair of clear and moving eyes opened, Nalan Mingxiu casually put down the book that had been flipping, put a beautiful hand on the arm of the palace maid beside him, and slowly walked out of the hall and blocked in front of Duan Muheng.
The years have left shallow traces on the elegant and dignified face of the woman, not only has not covered up the beauty of the woman, but has more precipitated elegance and wisdom that the girl has never had.
The woman quietly looked at the man who had been soaked in wind and frost by the years, and Yingying's eyes had more affection that was difficult to hide and didn't want to hide.
"Lan'er's appearance is unparalleled, how can she call herself ugly?"
Duan Muheng looked at the woman's face, a trace of struggle, flashed in his eyes, his hand couldn't help but wipe the woman's eyebrows, and the struggle turned into obsession.
"Emperor Xie praised, and the concubines were so happy!"
A touch of gloom flashed, flashing reflexively across the man's fingers, and Nalan Mingxiu's purple skirt rippled in waves, spinning under Duan Muheng's eyes, making him a little dizzy: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know if the emperor is here today, what is the place for the concubines to serve?" ”
With a smile on his face, his words were full of closeness and a little banter, and this kind of Nalan Mingxiu made Duan Muheng breathe a sigh of relief and explained his intentions.
With a chuckle, Nalan Mingxiu's hand brushed over the pendant around his neck: "The emperor asked his concubines to choose a suitable wife for Rui'er......"
"Yes, many of Rui'er's brothers have already married and taken concubines, and a few have children, but he, as the prince of a country, doesn't even have a person around him who knows cold and hot, if she knows, she will definitely be worried......"
Speaking of her, there was a touch of real tenderness in Duan Muheng's eyes, and there was a deeper pain, what he did wrong could not be made up for in this life, only by giving her son the most haode, he would feel the suffocation in his chest, and it would be lighter.
“……”
Nalan Mingxiu knew who Duan Muheng was thinking about, from beginning to end, she was just a stand-in, the smile in her eyes was even stronger, and her whole beautiful face became more and more calm and peaceful: "Rui'er is twenty-three this year, it is indeed the age when it is time to marry a wife, but the concubine should ask the emperor for guilt, and has been ignoring the fact that the child has grown up, and will forget to arrange it early, it is really damn ......"
Duan Muheng held Nalan Mingxiu's hand and intercepted her words of self-blame: "Lan'er's heart for Rui'er naturally knows that she even neglected Jinrong, but I have always been a little ashamed!" ”
These words, the emperor said with a smile, but Nalan Mingxiu was shocked, Duan Jinrong is her own child, for so many years, she has treated Duan Jinrui more than Duan Jinrong, it is precisely because of this that the emperor will always give her the glory of the imperial concubine, weishenme suddenly mentioned Duan Jinrong......
"What does the emperor mean?"
She thinks she knows the man in front of her very well, so in addition to dealing with the mother and son, she will definitely not be untargeted, and she is uneasy in her heart.
"I thought that Rui'er and Jinrong didn't have concubines, so I took advantage of my birthday, when officials above the third grade entered Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, and announced the daughters of each family into the palace to talk to Lan'er, and choose well, so as not to wronged the two children, what about the concubine?"
Duan Muheng withdrew the hand holding Nalan Mingxiu, picked up the tea on the Ling Shuang, and took a sip gently, he lowered his head, and the look in his eyes was completely hidden.
"It is his blessing that Jinrong can choose a concubine with Rui'er, how can the concubine have other opinions?"
Duan Muheng has already left, Nalan Mingxiu has been standing at the gate of the palace and watching the shadows of the trees swaying in the distance, her beautiful face is dyed with a little sorrow, Yingying's eyes seem to be dotted with crystals, but they cool down quickly, and the beauty is worried, only the wind knows.
There was a burst of warmth on her body, it was Lingshuang who put on a cloak for her to keep out the cold, and Nalan Mingxiu's voice was still gentle and leisurely, like a moving flute song: "Jinrong hasn't come to see this palace for some days, and this palace misses it a lot......"
-- In front of the tall and simple gate, there are two men and one woman, except for the young man who is behind the simple and simple appearance, the appearance of the other two men and women, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are beautiful, and they all have a dazzling attraction.
The young man standing at the front looked at the plaque hanging high, the five big characters of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and his eyes were surging with strange emotions, and he finally came back, but it was already a lifetime, this former home, and then he abandoned him, and he also discarded the place, many emotions that he thought he didn't care about anymore rolled in his chest.
The cold hand tightened, covered by the warm and soft palm, and when he looked back, it was the girl's unwavering support and belief in the autumn water, and she smiled brightly, stepped forward, and slapped the hideous beast ring.
"You ......"
The little guy opened the door and saw the men and women with outstanding looks in front of him, and opened his mouth.
The atmosphere of the Zhenguo General's Mansion today is a little different from the past, and the faces of the people in the mansion showed a decent smile, whether they were happy or not, at least they were excited on the outside, because their second young master, who had been away from home for more than ten years, had returned to the house.
In the living room, after serving tea, the little girl's eyes couldn't help but wander around the young man's face, and her pink cheeks were slightly dyed red.
"Ahem, I've been flowing for more than ten years, and now I still know how to come back!"
General Zhenguo's face was a little tight, facing his second son who he hadn't seen for many years, he didn't know how to speak for a while, and the beautiful woman next to him gently touched his palm, and the words he held back blurted out.
"As a father, I thought I only had one son!"
Bai's delicate face showed a hint of disapproval: "Master, Yan'er has been away from home for many years, and I don't know how much hardship I have suffered, so you can share it with him well......"
"Yan'er, my lord has actually missed you very much, but it's just because of me, and I'm embarrassed to find you back with great fanfare, everything is my fault......"
Bai's eyes were full of dripping, and the water droplets seemed to have not fallen, and I really felt pity.
Father Liu held the woman's extremely haode hand with some pity: "Madam, you don't have to speak for this son, there has been no news for so many years, and you came back suddenly, I don't know if you caused trouble outside, you are not at fault......"
"This is my home, won't my father welcome me back?"
Liu Moyan enjoyed the interaction between the first two people with relish, singing and harmonizing, one was intentionally provoking, the other was confused and violent, his eyes sank slightly, but he had some pitiful and aggrieved eyes, looking at Father Liu, but he didn't look at the worried Bai next to him, as if he was ignoring it.
Father Liu was stunned for a moment, looking at the immaturity between the young man's eyebrows, and the weakness that seemed to be nothing, and the anger in his heart was like a ball that had been pierced, deflated, and in the final analysis, it was he who forced his son out of his home.
Subconsciously, he pulled out his big hand from the Bai family next to him: "This is your home, as long as Lao Tzu is here, you can live as long as you want, no one will pick you up!" ”
His father, who is a masterpiece of a generation on the battlefield, is actually not much better than his first brother in the love field, with soft ears, irritable personality, and likes weak and poor women, not that he doesn't care about his children, he is not ruthless, but he cares to make up for it, and he has long stopped looking forward to it.
There are cracks that cannot be repaired.
Liu Moyan looked at Bai's lips, the shape of his lips became more and more perfect, the curvature was natural, with a refreshing beauty: "Son, thank you father for giving his son a place to stay!" ”
With some banter, Liu Moyan got up and thanked him solemnly.
Politeness is enough, the lack of closeness between father and son, the original more than ten years can really make the once intimate love fade into alienation, Father Liu's expression was speechless.
"By the way, Yan'er, the woman you brought back, I don't know if it'......"
When this kind of family meeting, Yunxi is naturally not good to be around, she was placed first at the beginning, Liu Hengshan was at a loss, but the Bai family knew how to solve the embarrassment, otherwise, she would not have straightened it out from the side room, and she had been in charge of the General's Mansion for so many years.
"She's my fiancée......"
Liu Moyan's eyebrows softened a little, and the young man who melted the water chestnut in this way was even more graceful.
"Fiancée?"
Stunned, although Yunxi's appearance was beautiful, Liu Hengshan and the Bai family thought at most that it was a woman beside Liu Moyan, even if they brought it, at most they would give it a name, where did they think that they would leave such a shocking news.
