Chapter 65: Customs

Princess Jiangcheng's words are like the last life-saving straw that Yu Ruoxu can grasp, she believes that Princess Jiangcheng can keep her promise, what she needs to do now is to take medicine well, exercise her body, and have enough body to escape back.

It's just that she didn't expect that during her own recuperation, she would always have no peace around her.

Like what...... The noisy master in front of him.

"When I first saw you, I thought you were thin and weak, but I didn't expect to make my eldest brother deflated." Tuoba Mu'er laughed like a silver bell, "Ruoxu, how did you do it at that time?" ”

Yu Ruoxu supported his forehead, "This ......"

Tuoba Mu'er's eyes were shining, as clean and clear as the brightest stars in the night sky.

"I didn't let him eat it." Yu Ruoxu raised her shoulders helplessly, "At most, it's a lose-lose situation." ”

Tuoba Mu'er carefully touched the gauze on her shoulder and asked, "Do you still hurt now?" ”

"Thanks to the princess, it's already much better."

Yu Ruoxu doesn't know why she is so idle, she can find time to chat with her every day, sometimes she is sleepy, but she can't catch up, so she can only talk to her with her spirit. But thanks to Tuoba Mu'er, she only knew a little about what was going on outside.

"Today, Father Khan praised the third brother in front of everyone." Tuoba Mu'er said with a smile, "It's strange to say, a few days ago, the third brother urged to withdraw the army and not attack the border again in the short term, and he was scolded by his father Khan." The third brother didn't know where the stubborn temper came from, knelt in the tent and refused to leave, and also asked a lot of lords and ministers to help, and finally the father Khan had no choice but to give in, but still punished the third brother for several days of confinement. But as soon as the third brother was released today, his father Khan said that the third brother had a talent for strategy, and rewarded him with a lot of cattle and sheep. ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "Really?" What about your second brother? ”

"The second brother was so angry that he jumped to his feet." Tuoba Mu'er suddenly became interested, "You didn't see it, this morning when Father Khan said that when he was considering a truce, the second brother was the first to jump out and said a lot, and the lieutenant generals under the eldest brother were not to be outdone, and the sound of the quarrel almost lifted the tent." ”

"But the Khan decided to withdraw anyway." Yu Ruoxu said.

"Yes, this morning, the third brother and the second brother quarreled in front of my father Khan, I didn't expect the third brother's eloquence to be so good, and the second brother was speechless, so I could only stare at my eyes and scold. Coupled with the help of other ministers, the shape of the Lord and the faction is very good. Tuoba Mu'er spoke very quickly, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and it was a little laborious to listen to Yu Ruoxu.

"So it sounds like the princess is also the Lord's peace?" Yu Ruoxu asked tentatively.

"Of course, I don't like to fight." Tuoba Mu'er nodded vigorously, "The third brother once said that war is 'white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles', although I don't understand what the sound of rooster crowing, but white bones are exposed in the wild or something...... It's scary to hear. ”

Yu Ruoxu sighed, "Your third brother is right. ”

"Yes, the third brother knows a lot, every time I go to him, he is reading, and they are all very thick books. When it comes to talking, it's the truth, and you can't accept it. As soon as Tuoba Mu'er talked about Tuoba Yu, he began to gush, "He also told me that the Xianbei people should learn from the Han people, learn the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius, and follow the Han people to establish a set of laws for our Xianbei and strengthen the rule of the Tuoba family, so that it can last for a long time." ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, "King Ning...... Did you tell the khan about these thoughts? “

"It seems that I have said it a few times, but my father Khan can't listen to it, and the third brother is still being squeezed out by the eldest brother and the second brother, so it's over." Tuoba Mu'er was a little lost, "Actually...... I think the third brother is amazing, the eldest brother and the second brother only know how to fight and kill every day, and they don't know how to govern the tribe at all. If the third brother can ......"

"Princess." Yu Ruoxu said in a low voice, "The matter of the heir still depends on what the Khan thinks. “

Tuoba Mu'er bit her lower lip, "I know." Before, because of congenital deficiencies, Father Khan didn't like the third brother very much, saying that the third brother was too weak to be a humble man. But during the expedition of Father Khan, the third brother governed the tribe very well, and Father Khan seemed to have changed a lot. ”

Yu Ruoxu said thoughtfully, "Really? ”

"That's right, the third brother has not been crowned king since he became an adult, and he was only crowned the 'King of Ning' some time ago." Tuoba Mu'er looked indignant, "If it weren't for the eldest brother and the second brother making trouble in front of Father Khan, how could the third brother have waited so many years to become king?" “

Yu Ruoxu smiled, "The princess seems to be particularly protective of King Ning." ”

"We grew up together." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Tuoba Mu'er's mouth, "Neither of us can remember what our mother looks like, and our father Khan doesn't care about us, so we have been bullied by my eldest brother and second brother...... The third brother is not in good health and often gets sick, but even so, he has always protected me...... If you had an older brother, you would have understood my feelings. ”

Yu Ruoqing suddenly remembered Yu Ruoqing, and said in a low voice, "I understand." ”

"What?" Tuoba Mu'er didn't hear clearly.

Yu Ruoxu pulled out the half of the phoenix blood jade huang that he was wearing around his neck, and said slowly, "I have a twin brother...... The two of us are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and when we were born, our mother gave us half a phoenix blood jade, and the patterns on it just happened to be a pair. “

Tuoba Mu'er looked carefully at the phoenix blood jade on her neck and exclaimed, "This jade is so beautiful. ”

"And then?"

"When we were seven years old, we went to a temple fair." Yu Ruoxu continued, "The temple fair is ...... On the day when everyone went out into the street to celebrate, I was clamoring to eat candy man, and it turned out to be ...... My brother was lost. Never got it back. ”

Tuoba Muer didn't know what to say, "You ......"

"After so many years of searching, we're about to give up." Yu Ruoxu's voice was full of sadness, "The uncles and brothers in the clan all say that the elder brother may be dead." But my father and I didn't believe it, thinking that we would see people in life and corpses in death...... But the world is so big, where are we going to find it? ”

Tuoba Mu'er touched the back of her hand, "Don't worry...... If you think about it, your brother has been lost for ten years, and now he must not look the same as he did back then, even if he stands in front of you, maybe you won't recognize him. So it's possible that your brother is alive and well now, but you don't know it. “

Yu Ruoxu smiled, "That's what you said...... I don't even know what he's like now. ”

At this time, Zhu'er opened the curtain and walked in, still holding a medicine bowl in her hand, "Princess Mu'er is also ...... The slave maid greeted the princess. ”

"Sister Zhu'er, don't be polite." Tuoba Mu'er hurriedly got up, saw the black medicinal juice in the bowl, and grimaced at Yu Ruoxu, "Ruoxu is really pitiful, I have to drink this bitter thing again." ”

"Princess, don't irritate me." Yu Ruoxu took the medicine bowl and poured it all into her stomach in one go, and suddenly felt that her stomach was so bitter that she twitched, and returned the bowl in her hand to Zhu'er, "Thank you." ”

"Seeing that you are so pitiful, this princess will be merciful once." Tuoba Mu'er saw that her face was wrinkled, and took out a small box of candied fruit from her pocket like a trick, "Well, this is what the third brother asked me to bring to you." ”

Yu Ruoxu was surprised, and Yu Guang noticed Zhu'er's figure for a moment, "King Ning? ”

"Yes, the last time I told him, every time you drink medicine, your face wrinkles like an old woman." Tuoba Mu'er looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "The third brother asked me to bring you a box, and said that if you need it, you can just ask him to get it at any time." ”

Zhu'er smiled on the side, "King Ning really has a heart. ”

Tuoba Mu'er didn't realize it, "This is true, the third brother is very sad about Ruoxu's matter, every time I go to him, the first thing is to ask me, 'Is Ruoxu's illness better?'" I persuaded him, if he was worried about you, it would be good to come and see in person, the third brother seemed to be a little secretive, it was not convenient to say anything, and he didn't know what he was doing. ”

Yu Ruoxu's scalp tingled when she heard this, and she hurriedly interrupted her, "Trouble the princess to thank King Ning for me." ”

Tuoba Mu'er nodded, said a few more words, and saw that Yu Ruoxu had already begun to yawn, so he reluctantly left.

Zhu'er stayed in the tent all the time, as if she was chatting with Yu Ruoxu and the princess. But Yu Ruoxu knew in her heart that she was afraid that Zhu'er had something to ask her.

"Pearl." Yu Ruoxu broke the silence between the two, "Do you have something?" ”

Zhu'er didn't expect her to ask so directly, and she was a little hesitant for a while, "It's nothing...... I just feel like your spirit is getting better day by day. “

"Thank you and the queen for your care." Yu Ruoxu said, "How is the queen recently? ”

Having said that, after she was injured, she moved to the tent on the other side for fear of bringing her illness to Tuoba Yue. Except for the day I woke up, I hadn't seen Princess Jiangcheng for several days.

"It's still the same...... Pretty good. Zhu'er hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "You and King Ning...... The friendship is not shallow. ”

Yu Ruoxu chuckled in her heart and smiled, "We have saved each other...... That's all. ”

Zhu'er paused, "Do you know, Xianbei has a custom called a son marrying a widow and an uncle marrying a widowed sister-in-law. ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "I ......"

"The queen said that she would definitely find a way to send you back." Zhu'er sighed, her face a little solemn, "The queen doesn't have any other thoughts now, only this one, I hope you don't interfere." “

With that, he picked up the empty medicine bowl, lifted the curtain and went out.

Yu Ruoxu leaned on the bed and did not recover for a long time.

Zhu'er spoke so bluntly that she could hear her no matter how stupid she was. Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but feel funny, the first thought that came to her mind was, what about Liang Jin? What is Liang Jin in her heart?

Yu Ruoxu didn't know when Princess Jiangcheng fell in love with Tuoba Yu, but obviously she was still worried about Liang Jin's safety, saying that she had only learned to let go of seventy percent......

The shadow of that person in the past is so unforgettable, how can it be so easy to erase?

Just like herself, she still dreams of Yue Zirong, and remembers every word Yue Zirong said to her, but from time to time she remembers Liang Jin's kindness to her. Such a messy and entangled heart made her feel a deep sense of guilt, not only sorry for the dead Yue Zirong, but also sorry for the living Liang Jin.

What about Liang Jin? Is he like that too?

Speaking of which, in the face of feelings, they are all indecisive people.
