Chapter Seventy-Eight
Early in the morning, I was woken up to the sound of drums. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After changing clothes and washing, Murong Chenxi was already waiting outside the door, and behind him was an entourage carrying food.
Seeing that I had washed up, Murong Chenxi instructed the entourage behind him to bring in the food. The entourage carefully put away the food, saluted Murong Chenxi and me, and then withdrew.
Murong Chenxi pulled me to sit down and said, "I instructed the cook to prepare some food for you that you like on weekdays, hurry up and eat some, the hunt will start later." He said as he pushed the food in front of me.
When I just picked up the food with chopsticks and put it to my mouth, I thought about it and hurriedly asked, "Has the prince ever had breakfast?" "Patronizing his stomach, I don't know if he has eaten it.
He smiled at me and said, "I've eaten it, you can eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." His smile was content, and lately he seemed to be laughing more often, and he was no longer smiling like he had been. However, I feel very pleased with his change, although he doesn't like to laugh much on weekdays, and he always looks cold and rejects people thousands of miles away, but with more and more contact and getting along, he is also changing little by little, just like myself, I am also trying to get rid of the sad self in the past.
I nodded to him, and then took a big gulp, completely forgetting that I was the fourth princess of the Northern Desert and the princess of Chu, and I felt like I was hungry.
At this time, Murong Chenfeng walked in from outside, and when he entered the camp, he saw me and Murong Chenxi sitting face-to-face eating, and quipped: "No wonder I can't find the fourth brother anywhere, it turns out that it is on your side of Bingxi." There was a smile on his lips, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Seventh brother, you're here." Murong Chenxi glanced at Murong Chenfeng and said.
Murong Chenfeng snorted and continued: "The hunt is about to start, all the contestants are preparing, and you are the only one who can't see the fourth brother on the field, so I have to come to you for fear that my father will ask." ”
I see, no wonder the pace was much faster than usual when I first came in.
"There's still a little time before the game, so there's no hurry." Murong Chenxi was calm, not impatient.
In case I was late, I looked at Murong Chenxi and said, "Lord Wang, you and the Seventh Lord will go to prepare first, and Bingxi will arrive later." As he spoke, he urged Murong Chenfeng to take him away.
-----------------------------------------------------------―
Chen Xi couldn't help it, so he had to go to the arena with the seventh master first. Looking at the remaining food, I only felt that my stomach was full, and I could no longer accommodate the remaining food, so I wiped the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief, got up and rushed to Chenxi's side.
Because of the fast walking, I don't want to bump into a person when I get to the arena.
"How do you walk? I don't want to live anymore, do you know who you hit against? ”
I was bounced off by the other party and hit the ground, frowning in pain, and a shrill eunuch next to me pointed at me and scolded, looking at his posture, as if I had committed an unforgivable sin. However, I am also a victim, even if I walked without seeing the person clearly, and now I am the one who was hit on the ground, I didn't say anything, let a eunuch keep scolding me.
I held my breath in my heart, and I didn't care about the pain and looked at the person in front of me, I wanted to see who I hit was.
Suddenly raised his head, the man in front of him was also surprised, I remember seeing this person when I first came to the Northern Desert, and I haven't seen him since. He is also one of the emperor's sons, the second prince of the current Northern Desert, Murong Chennian. Although there is only one side, he doesn't talk much, but he occasionally has an impression.
"Don't be rude!" Murong Chennian seemed to recognize me, and he hurriedly stopped the people under him.
"But second master, this person not only hit you, but also scattered the arrows we brought with him." The little eunuch was not convinced, and tried to argue, maybe he would be a little arrogant on weekdays by relying on the favor of his master.
Murong Chennian's face sank and glared at him.
"The second master is angry, and the little one knows his mistakes." Perhaps seeing that his master was angry, the little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground to admit his mistake, bowing his head and not daring to make a sound.
Murong Chennian ignored the subordinates on the side, walked straight up to me and stretched out his hand to help me up.
I glanced at him and stood up from the ground.
Murong Chennian smiled faintly and said, "Just now, the subordinates didn't understand proportion, and they were disrespectful, and I hope that the princess of the fourth brother is not strange!" A few simple words, each word expressing apologies.
Hearing Murong Chennian call me the fourth princess, the little eunuch kneeling beside him opened his eyes in surprise, he was still arrogant just now, and he was full of remorse at the moment, probably never thought that the person he scolded was actually the princess of the fourth prince, the princess of the Chu Kingdom.
"The second master is serious, it was Bingxi's fault first, it should be Bingxi who apologized to the second master, and he shouldn't have hit you." I know that I am the first to blame, and besides, people have already apologized to me first, if I don't take care of it, then wouldn't it be too ignorant, and what is the difference between it and the little eunuch kneeling on the ground at this moment?
However, the Murong Chennian in front of him had a humble face, and he didn't have the prince's frame at all, which was a little different from what I imagined.
I glanced at the arrows that had been thrown to the ground in my hurry, and without thinking about it, I bent down and picked them up one by one.
Murong Chennian on the side couldn't hide the surprise on his face as he watched me pick up the arrows that fell on the ground, and I noticed that the arrow part of each arrow was engraved with the word "Nian", as if it was specially carved. It's probably Murong Chennian's exclusive mark! I handed the arrow I picked up to the little eunuch, who was flattered and hurriedly took it, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Fourth Princess." ”
Thinking of the scolding of this little eunuch just now, maybe it was because of his desire to protect the master, thinking of the little eunuch's loyalty to the master, I said to him.
"Get up!"
The little eunuch secretly looked at his master, as if there was no master to speak, he didn't dare to get up, so I had to turn to Murong Chennian and joke: "Second master, it seems that your subordinates don't seem to be willing to forgive me for hitting you!" ”
Now he looked innocent as a little eunuch, kneeling on the ground and not knowing what to do.
"Since the fourth princess has spoken, you can't get up yet." Murong Chennian smiled slightly, and motioned for the little eunuch on the ground to get up.
"Yes, Second Master."
As soon as Murong Chen spoke, the little eunuch immediately got up and thanked me instead: "Fourth Princess Xie doesn't remember the villain, forgive the little one for his reckless behavior just now." ”
"How can the fourth brother and sister be alone? Aren't the four brothers together? Murong Chennian saw that I was alone, and asked suspiciously.
It's no wonder that I am alone, with neither Murong Chenxi by my side nor a maid to follow, a woman from a foreign country, since she married in the Northern Desert, she has spent most of her time in the palace, rarely going out, let alone contacting people in the palace. The little eunuch under Murong Chennian just now didn't know me, so it was no wonder that he dared to scold.
I replied: "The fourth master and the seventh master have gone to the arena first, and I was about to rush over, but unfortunately I didn't see the road clearly in a hurry and collided with the second master here." "At that time, I just wanted to hurry to Chenxi's side, if it was normal, I would definitely not panic and hurry. In this way, I don't know how Murong Chennian will think of me in today's panicked behavior, after all, I represent the entire Chu State, if I destroy the image of the Chu State because of my reckless personality, wouldn't it be my fault, thinking about this, I hurriedly explained: "Bingxi is not so reckless on weekdays, but today's hunting, it is said that the people of the Northern Desert are good at kung fu immediately, and even the shooting is first-class, Bingxi doesn't want to miss any exciting parts, and thinks that he must feel the arena quickly, and he will be so anxious for a while." ”
I don't know what I said so much, what will Murong Chennian think, what will he think? In short, I have said that, and it would be useless to say more.
I saw Murong Chennian nodded, and said slightly: "I see." ”
"But there are a few of our brothers, the fourth brother's riding and archery is slightly inferior, and the annual hunting, my father is full of praise for the fourth brother!" Murong Chennian continued, his eyes full of admiration.
"Second master, you have won the award." I yelled at him.
Murong Chenxi's riding and shooting is very good, I naturally know and have been taught, but except for the seventh master, few of their brothers praise him so much, today, it seems that this Murong Chennian is indeed a little different, at least he treats Murong Chenxi with sincere praise.
My head suddenly flashed to the scene of Chenxi dying from the court and returning to the palace from the court with an ugly face because of a mistake made by a person under his hand, and my heart couldn't help but tremble.
The throne, of course, is what everyone dreams of, but the process of fighting for it is too terrible, if you succeed, you have everything, however, if you are a little careless and fail, you will never recover, and even lose your own life, and brothers will not hesitate to do so. From ancient times to the present, how many dynasties, in order to compete for the throne, how few brothers killed each other, and behind the success was a river of blood, a cruel fight, and a conspiracy of deceit. If you embark on this road, you will go all the way to the end, and there will be no turning back, even if you regret wanting to turn back, others will no longer allow you to turn back, and you regret it.
Now, everything seems to be calm, but who can guess if the next moment will fall into a trap and fall into a conspiracy!
Sometimes I want to be born and get together, and it is not easy to be a brother in this life, if I am born in an ordinary people's family, I should not need to be vigilant and careful everywhere in the future. However, growing up in the emperor's house in this life, he is destined to have a struggle, for himself, for others, and maybe something that he doesn't even know.
The second master, the third master, the fourth master, the fifth master, the sixth master, the seventh master, and the eighth master, the roles played by each person seem to have been assigned, and everyone's fate may have been predestined, but who can predict what the ending will be for everyone? In this open and secret battle, everyone seems to be making a gamble, betting, maybe there is hope for hope, if you don't gamble, there is no hope. Success or failure, failure or undefeat, all lie in a thought.
Perhaps, this battle can only see the end of everyone in the end! Whatever the outcome, I just want to silently pray to the heavens, and I hope this day doesn't come so soon.
"What's wrong? Four siblings. Murong Chen asked puzzled when he saw that I didn't speak.
I hurriedly looked back and replied, "No, it's nothing. ”
Seeing that I said that it was nothing, Murong Chennian did not continue to ask, but said: "I have stayed here for a while, I estimate that my father and emperor should also arrive, and I don't know what the situation is in the arena, fourth brother and sister, let's go over early, if I don't see you, I guess the fourth brother will be in a hurry there." The last two sentences, Murong Chennian said half-jokingly with a smile.
I was speechless for a moment, and I lowered my head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer him. However, after staying for so long, I promised Murong Chenxi that I would hurry over, if I disappeared for a long time, I am afraid it would be just as Murong Chennian said. It's not what the situation is over there now, it's better to hurry over.
"What the second master said is that it's all because of the ice tide, let's hurry over." I say.
Murong Chen hummed and followed me to the arena.
