Chapter 53: Reflection
Lacquer carving Yan'er put forward the intention of marrying in front of everyone's eyes, whether Princess Yu agrees or refuses to conclude a marriage, it will cause great pressure and harm to Xu Ruliang, and may even lead to unpredictable consequences.
It's strange that the lacquer carving smoke is a stepmother.
Mu Lianxuan cursed in his heart: "The demon woman should die!" The hand behind his back was clenched into a fist, but his face was silent. With a flick of his long sleeves, he went straight to the Dragon Training Pavilion.
Because it is the lord of Liyang, King Yu, who is his father, must be entertained in front. All the brothers also took the opportunity to earn a watch, and no one was willing to lag behind. Therefore, in the Dragon Training Pavilion where everyone except Mu Su could be seen in the past, at this time, there was only Mu Su who was punished and grounded here.
As soon as they met, Mu Lianxuan split his head and asked, "What about the county lord of Danyang?" ”
Mu Su also didn't have a good temper. was inexplicably matched by Lalang, and no one was happy. replied indignantly, "I don't know!" ”
It is true that Mu Lianxuan was worried about Xu Ruliang, but all the accidents were caused by the smoke of lacquer carving, no wonder Mu Su. I really want to complain, and I have to blame him for not thinking about it, but I didn't expect that the demon woman of the Qidiao clan was full of tricks and couldn't prevent it.
Mu Lianxuan snorted lightly without embarrassment, which was regarded as comforting Mu Su, and asked carefully.
Mu Su snorted and said, "My mother thinks the county lord of Danyang is not bad......
"I only listen to the results." Mu Lianxuan interrupted slowly.
He didn't speak in a high voice, and his tone was very peaceful, but even if he was a person as dull as Mu Su, he also felt a strong murderous aura from it, and unconsciously shortened his momentum by half, and said, "When I left. My mother has arranged for my second sister to accompany her to visit the garden, and I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the rest of the matter, and there is no news for the time being. ”
"In which garden are they?"
The Yuwang Mansion is the mansion of the Emperor. The scale is much larger than other palaces, and there are four large gardens alone.
Mu Su said: "My second sister lives in the East Cross Courtyard, and she probably went to Cui Heyuan nearby. If there isn't one, I'll go to my second sister's favorite Yunling Garden......" Before his words fell, Mu Lianxuan had already walked out of the Dragon Training Pavilion without looking back.
Mu Su was dumbfounded, didn't he know to take him?
Mu Lianxuan finally met Xu Ruliang and the county lord of Liyang in Miguiyuan, not far from the main courtyard.
Xu Ruliang wore a fresh and bright blue summer shirt, sitting on the stones by the small pool and paddling. It's so laid-back. The county lord of Liyang watched Xu Ruliang play from a little distance, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maidservant standing beside him. He was whispering to her.
The county lord of Liyang nodded frequently, and glanced at Xu Ruliang from time to time, only to see that Xu Ruliang seemed to be immersed in the fun of playing in the water, and he didn't know what he was doing. I don't care what they talk about.
The eldest girl of the Xu family is not a person without a city......
Recalling Xu Ruliang's appearance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet before, as well as his feet that had been swollen for three days and had just recovered in front of him, the county lord of Liyang frowned lightly and ordered: "You go back to investigate, and report to me immediately if there is news." ”
The maidservant girl responded to "snort" and was about to retreat, but when she turned around, she suddenly found Mu Lianxuan who appeared behind her at some point, and she was so shocked that she almost screamed.
The county lord of Liyang turned back in displeasure. Seeing that it was Mu Lianxuan, he suppressed his anger, and said "Third Highness" with a little blessing.
The two were the same age. But the lord of Liyang County is a little earlier, and according to the tooth order, he is Mu Lianxuan's sister. It was only because of the dignity of the monarch and the ministers that she took the initiative to salute first.
Mu Lianxuan slightly bowed his hand and called "Seventeenth Sister".
The first encounter of the first time made the county lord of Liyang stunned for a moment, but his heart was really useful.
"The Third Highness is visiting Shexia, but you want to find Asu?" The county lord of Liyang softened his tone and said: "I'm afraid that today is unfortunate, he is still entertaining me at the banquet, so I will ask someone to find him." ”
said that it was to call Mu Su to go. In fact, he wanted to meet his parents and take the opportunity to persuade his father and mother to lift his brother's grounding.
In front of others. She also wants to protect her brother's face and hide his secret.
The servant girl replied knowingly, "Oh", and was about to retreat.
Mu Lianxuan said: "It's okay. Slowly and methodically cast a deep gaze at Xu Ruliang's back, but said to the county lord of Liyang: "Can you ask Sister Seventeen to borrow a step to speak?" ”
The county lord of Liyang raised his eyebrows slightly, left the maid to take care of Xu Ruliang, and followed him to the small pavilion on the rockery next to him.
A quarter of an hour later, the two returned to the pool.
Xu Ruliang has been playing with the splashes, and he didn't look back at the situation at all halfway.
Just as only those who pretend to sleep will never wake up, and only those who pretend to focus on something will never desert. The eldest girl of the Xu family is probably pretending.
Thinking about what Mu Lianxuan said, they were verified one by one, and the county lord of Liyang became more and more determined, and called the maidservant to leave together.
Only Xu Ruliang and Mu Lianxuan were left on the edge of the pool.
No one spoke, except for the occasional splash of water, and there was no sound in all directions, and it was eerily quiet.
Xu Ruliang was still paddling.
The petite blue figure, reflecting the clear blue water, looks more and more thin and pitiful, making people feel an impulse to take her into their arms, protect her, and never let her be hurt by all kinds of disturbances.
Even if she decided to follow the path she had in her previous life, she couldn't see the slightest injury in front of her.
Mu Lianxuan slowly approached, and his slender figure cast a shadow in the rippling pool water, completely covering Xu Ruliang's.
Xu Ruliang couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to put it away. stood up and wanted to stay away from Mu Lianxuan, but a pair of Rouyi were caught squarely and wrapped in a soft and dry silk handkerchief.
Mu Lianxuan seemed to be disgusted and pitiful, and while gently rubbing to dry the water droplets on her hands, she said leisurely: "Although it is already April, the water is still very cold, you are careful to freeze your hands." You like to play in the water, if I take you to the hunting ground in the middle of summer next year, Hanshan Lake, where the water is clear, the environment is quiet, and the field of vision is much wider than here, you should like it. ”
Hanshan Lake, a place that Xu Ruliang wanted to go to many times but failed to go, is actually not far from Xingqing.
In his previous life, Xu Ruliang wanted to go with Mu Lianxuan once, but it was too difficult. So much so that she often laughed at herself for being prescient and missed the only opportunity, which was next summer.
From the summer of the following year. Mu Lianxuan ascended the throne as the emperor, fought wits and courage with several powerful ministers, and slept at night. I don't have any free time to go out.
As for Mu Lianxuan's pro-government, although the power has gradually stabilized, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the palace cannot be without an owner for a day.
But next summer in the previous life. Xu Ruliang was completely buried in the study of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, rules and etiquette. Mu Lianxuan was often sent by Emperor Yonghe, and was rarely in the palace. There was little communication between the two. Not to mention going out of the palace to play together, it's a pity to think about it.
Now, Mu Lianxuan promised to take her to Hanshan Lake at this "only opportunity...... I should have been happy, but my expectations were not as strong as I expected.
Xu Ruliang snorted slightly. deliberately pierced the blank check written by Mu Lianxuan, and asked innocently: "Why not this year?" ”
"Knowingly ask!"
Mu Lianxuan smiled slightly, and couldn't help but scratch the tip of her delicate nose, full of doting.
Under the bright sunshine, the calm waterside of the pool, the immature little girl, and the hearty young man...... Time seems to have passed back to the past lives of the two, and they are all familiar with each other.
Except for the two hearts that have been tempered through the belly.
Xu Ruliang opened his eyes. Forced himself to wake up from his hallucinations, calm down the mood that had suddenly made waves because of any small action by Mu Lianxuan, and regain his senses.
As a person who lives again. Of course, she already knew what Mu Lianxuan would do this summer.
But does Mu Lianxuan know it himself?
What does he mean by "knowingly asking"?
What new tricks did he conjure?
Xu Ruliang was puzzled and wanted to end the topic, but she provoked the conversation, and she was not a person who couldn't afford to lose, so she smiled again: "How do I know?" ”
Since you have decided to play stupid at the beginning, you have to play stupid to the end.
The temper hasn't changed at all!
That's fine. You have to pretend, I'm used to it!
Mu Lianxuan smiled. I couldn't help but rub her hair, "Then I'll sue you, because I'm going to ...... this summer"
Fight.
Extremely simple words, but they represent the most cruel and bloody.
The chaos of yellow sand flying, blood splattering, and people and horses trampling each other leaped in front of you, and it was unbearable to look at. Mu Lianxuan didn't want to mention it again, at least he didn't want to mention it in front of Xu Ruliang, and he couldn't help but hold back the words that rushed to his throat.
Xu Ruliang raised his eyebrows, his bright eyes flashed with teasing, and he looked at him fixedly, waiting for him to give a definite answer.
Mu Lianxuan was stunned.
Ah Liang is taunting him?
The disdain, suspicion, and contempt in Xu Ruliang's eyes stung him more deeply than war.
Mu Lianxuan lowered his eyes.
She is used to turning chess pieces, she knows the future of Mu Su and Yan Ming, she knows Fang Changqing, she will use the flute to support the second pigeon, and she also thinks of making a soft hedgehog armor to protect her brother's life...... All these things show that she is indeed like him, reincarnated as a human being, and remembers all kinds of past lives.
Because of all the intrigues in her previous life, and her final death, she hated him.
He is willing to bear all this.
But how could she doubt him?
Ten years of acquaintance, six years of husband and wife, but don't even have the most basic trust?
It doesn't hurt to distrust, he'll rebuild her confidence in him.
But there had to be a chance.
Mu Lianxuan turned his back to Xu Ruliang, his heart heavy.
What if there is no chance?
In his previous life, he relied on the armor to protect himself, and even if the road ahead was blank, he never wandered, not worried that he might be injured on the battlefield, and maybe even lose his life.
But in this life, he decided to give the soft hedgehog armor to Xu Rujing for self-defense, and he himself could only go into battle shirtless.
On the battlefield, there are no eyes for knives and guns, who can ensure his safety?
In case he dies in battle, who will protect his silly girl?
His stupid girl is so stupid that without him, she completely loses the ability to protect herself.
Wasn't that the case in previous lives?
He just went out of the palace to see Dongfang Changqing, but only for a while......
For the sake of his silly girl, he wants to live!
Well, the soft hedgehog armor......
No, no.
Losing Xu Rujing will be the grief of Ah Liang's life, how can he bear to let her experience it again?
Mu Lianxuan closed his eyes, and his ears sounded in a trance that Xu Ruliang's heartfelt laughter that day, as graceful as flowing water, which fascinated him and made him crazy.
In her previous life, Ah Liang had never smiled like that, because she had too much sadness in her heart...... (To be continued)
