The one who jumped down from the tree turned out to be Meng Bagongzi.

"Second Young Lady, Fifth Miss, it's rude to you." Meng Bagongzi straightened his clothes, hugged his fist at Shen Qingli and said, "Thank you for the ginger soup of the second young lady, otherwise, I am afraid that I will still lie on the bed!" ”

"With a gesture, you don't have to be polite, sir." Shen Qingli said quietly, "But we should come to the door to thank Mr. for saving his life." ”

"Thank you, sir, for saving your life." Mu Shuang understood, hurriedly walked in front of him, and bent his knees, "Sir, Mu Shuang will never forget." ”

"Miss Five, please get up quickly." Meng Bagongzi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and smiled, "Fifth Miss, speaking of which, I am still an old acquaintance with the second young lady, and I also have a teacher-student relationship with you, don't you invite us to sit in your house?" ”

"Sir, please." Mu Shuangqiao's face flushed, and she hurriedly took Shen Qingli's hand, her Agarwood Pavilion had never entertained outsiders, and now Meng Bagongzi took the initiative to stay and sit, she was a little flustered.

Shen Qingli understood, took her hand, and entered the flower hall together.

The courtyard of the Agarwood Garden is not big, and the flower hall is naturally not big, but it is better to arrange it simply and elegantly, except for the three ladies hanging on the wall, there are no other ornaments.

On the windowsill is a row of long green flowers and plants, which are growing happily, and some of the branches hang down, swaying gently with the breeze that penetrates through the cracks in the window lattices, and contrasts with the red carpet with white orchids on the floor.

This red carpet was withdrawn from Mu Qing's house, Mu Shuang saw that the color was still very bright, and it was a pity to throw it away, so she picked it up and washed it carefully. Spread in the flower hall, it took two days to lie on this semi-new carpet, embroidered a few lifelike white orchids, such a decoration, look more exquisite than before.

For this reason, Mu Qing also came to the door to make a big fuss, and was stunned to say that it was her father's private money for her, and she was a newly bought carpet, and finally alarmed the Liu family. After several interrogations, it was confirmed that it was the one thrown away by Mu Qing. The matter is over.

Qingtong hurriedly came in to serve tea.

"I heard that there are several tea houses in the house, and the tea here must be excellent for Miss Five." Meng Bagongzi sat down generously, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked down at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea bowl. Took a sip. Said seriously. "Although it is a good tea, it is not cat's ear black tea, at best, it is also rose red that grows in the same tea garden as cat's ear black tea. This rose black tea and cat ear black tea in addition to the color is different, the taste is actually not much different, the reason why the cat ear black tea is rare, that is because the cat ear is most suitable for fighting tea on the scene, and this rose red taste is clear, the most suitable for hospitality. ”

"Sir is really well-informed, this tea is rose red." Seeing that he was speaking eloquently, Mu Shuang smiled and said softly, "Although the cat's ear black tea is precious, I prefer to drink this rose red, if it is midsummer, add some pine needles, the taste will be better." ”

Although her identity is embarrassing, after all, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Yongding, and there are several tea gardens in Mufu, so she has a lot of tea here, and she is lonely, in addition to painting, she has already tasted every tea in the house, and she has also studied the tea ceremony.

"I can't imagine that Miss Fifth is still an expert." Meng Bagongzi looked at her with interest and said, "I used to drink black tea with pine needles, only with pine needles, I drank it deliciously." ”

Shen Qingli saw that the two were chatting speculatively, so he didn't squeak, just drank tea quietly.

As the saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence.

I didn't expect that Mu Shuang, who has always been taciturn, could talk so much with Meng Bagongzi.

"Sir is the real connoisseur." Mu Shuang realized that she had talked too much, so she quietly blushed, turned her head and instructed Qingtong, "Go and make a pot of pine needle tea for Mr., remember, use the jar of snow water I buried under the tree to make tea." ”

"Yes." Qingtong retreated.

"Second young lady, although we have met before, after entering the mansion, we rarely see Mrs." Meng Bagongzi turned his head to Shen Qingli and said, "I heard that Madame also went to the Western Regions a few days ago to look for Miss Kexin, but is there a whereabout?" ”

"Sir, you're really well informed." Shen Qingli put down the teacup and said, "Kexin was taken to the Western Regions Palace by Situ Kong, he didn't let Kexin leave, what can I do with him?" As he spoke, he looked at Meng Bagongzi, and said, "Although I didn't see Kexin, I met Lord Simon, who is still unmarried, saying that he is watching the country for his younger brother His Royal Highness Ubu, and waiting for him to come back to revive the dynasty." ”

"I heard that Lord Simon has a stubborn temper, and that's true." Meng Bagongzi sneered, "As everyone knows, not everyone is in a hurry to go back to sit in the country, and it is not a pleasure to travel in the mountains and rivers." ”

Simon was embarrassed to guard the country for him, if it wasn't for her, why would he have had a stiff relationship with his father, his beloved woman Jing Ya was favored by his father, which was his father's fault, but Simon persuaded him to give up Jing Ya and give it to his father, he naturally refused, Simon took Jing Ya to see his father on his own initiative, but he hit him squarely, and in a fit of anger, he turned his face with his father and stabbed his father into serious injury.

Although he is also very guilty about his father's death, he feels that it is not his fault, it is his father's fault first, which touches his bottom line as a man.

From then on, he no longer believed in family affection.

"Sir's words are wrong, guarding the country is a responsibility, not a burden, it is not easy for her to do this as a weak woman." Shen Qingli looked at him and said seriously, "Lord Simon also said that if I see His Royal Highness Ubu one day, let me tell His Highness that the Western Regions will always be the country of the Ba Thorn clan, please return to the court as soon as possible to preside over the court, if you let others take the lead, then the country will definitely be ruined, and His Royal Highness is destined to be uncertain in the second half of his life, and he will always live a life of hiding in Tibet, because the new lord will not let His Highness go." ”

"His Royal Highness is in exile, and it is not easy to return to the court." Meng Bagongzi took a sip of tea and frowned, "Lord Simon is still thinking too simply. ”

Not to mention the second half of his life, he is now living a life of hiding in Tibet, looking at the capital, except for the Yongding Marquis Mansion, there is no place for him.

"There is nothing difficult in the world. I'm only afraid of people with hearts. Shen Qingli glanced at him meaningfully, put down the teacup, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said softly, "Actually, if there is an opportunity, it depends on whether His Highness is willing to take the initiative, and he said yes, the enemy of the enemy is his friend, and it is not difficult for His Highness to find his own alliance." ”

Mu Shuang couldn't understand what the two were saying, so she just got up quietly and went to the kitchen to see how the tea was cooking.

"What the young lady said is very true. I think His Highness already knows what he should do. Meng Bagongzi smiled slightly. He added, "In fact, His Royal Highness doesn't want to watch the country change hands, and he may want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"If it's a fight, it's okay to see the excitement. But at the moment, these two tigers don't want to fight at all. Instead, they will unite to eat the people who watch the excitement. Shen Qingli said quietly. So, those of us who are watching the excitement, it's time to move. You have to be moving, you can't just sit there and watch the excitement all the time. ”

"Haha, yes, yes, move when you should move, hide when you should hide, this is the way to win." Meng Bagongzi laughed.

Pine needle tea was quickly served.

"Sir, please." Mu Shuangying brought the tea to Meng Bagongzi, the girl's fragrance went straight to his heart, he couldn't help but look up at her, just in front of the pair of clear eyes like water, both of them were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly looked away.

"Second sister-in-law." Mu Shuang's face turned red, and she hurriedly brought tea to Shen Qingli.

"I have to go first, Brother Hao should go to sleep." Shen Qingli looked at the sky, only to find that most of the hour had passed, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Sir, use it slowly." He turned his head and said to Mu Shuang, "Let the fourth young master come over and drink tea with Mr." ”

Without waiting for Mu Shuang's instructions, Qingtong left with his legs.

As soon as he came out of the Agarwood Garden, he saw Mu Yunting walking towards this side with Gong Sida, and when he saw her, he frowned and said, "Why did you come out for so long?" Brother Hao is crying to find you, but the nurse can't hold it. ”

"I'll go back now." Shen Qingli felt guilty for a while, lifted the hem of his skirt and walked away.

"Send the young lady back." Mu Yunting commanded.

"Young lady walk slowly." Gong Sibi followed behind Shen Qingli respectfully.

Mu Yuntingxin stepped into the Agarwood Garden.

happened to meet Mu Yunchao, Mu Yunchao was surprised: "How can the second brother have time to come to the fifth sister?" ”

"Then how did you get here?" Mu Yunting walked inside.

"I, I was invited by my fifth sister to accompany Mr. Meng to have tea." Mu Yunchao followed Mu Yunting inside.

"Me too." Mu Yunting walked in without looking back.

At night, Shen Qingli woke up and saw that Mu Yunting seemed to have just come back and was lightly stripping to bed, so he turned over and leaned against the wall, not wanting to talk to him, and making noise as soon as he spoke.

As soon as Mu Yunting lay down, he grabbed her over, turned over and pressed her under him, and said in a deep voice: "How long are you going to be awkward with me?" ”

"It's you who are awkward with me, not me who is awkward with you." Shen Qingli pushed him with a red face, "You let me go." ”

"Don't let it go!" Mu Yunting didn't have a smile on his face, but asked with a calm face, "If you don't give it to me, who do you want to keep it for?" You have always had Situ Kong in your heart, right, it's just that you can't marry me, and you followed me as an expedient measure, and now he is the dignified King of Pingyi in the Western Regions, with a high and powerful position, and he also built Li Garden for you, you must be very moved, right? ”

"Mu Yunting, you bastard, you know that I am not that kind of person, why do you still say this about me?" Shen Qingli was crushed by him, unable to move at all, and turned his face away from him, "I repeat, everything I did in the Western Regions was an expedient measure, not out of sincerity, if you don't believe it, then I can't do it." ”

"Expediency? Do you think I'm going to believe you? Mu Yunting remembered the words he heard outside the Li Garden wall that day, and couldn't help but get angry, and said coldly, "Do you know why Cuizhi will help you escape?" That's because she was worried that Situ Kong would spoil you too much and affect her status, so she took such a big risk to let you go, I think you are not an expedient measure, but a true expression, you said, in those days, he treated you with all kinds of kindness and took care of you wholeheartedly, didn't you have a little heart for him? Don't think I don't know the grudge you had with him before you left the cabinet. The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he almost rudely ripped open the placket of her shirt and kissed her without saying a word......

What about childhood sweethearts?

What about the construction of the Li Garden?

This woman is his daughter-in-law after all......

Mu Yunting has always gotten up early, and when the sky was just dawning, he woke up, opened the corner of the bed tent, and saw that the window paper was already blue, so he got up and dressed, only to find that the clothes of the two were thrown to the ground by him, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the woman sleeping next to him, she was sleeping sweetly, breathing lightly and evenly, only occasionally frowning, probably dreaming of something unhappy.

The scattered black hair lined her skin more and more white and moving, but at this time her skin was covered with traces of his excitement last night, he frowned, stretched out his big bony hand to cover her with a quilt, as if to cover his impulse last night, although she had given birth, but her body recovered well, as slender and thin as before, I have to admit that she is still extremely beautiful in her sleep, but her beauty is not him alone, another man thousands of miles away is also thinking about it from time to time, which makes him very annoyed.

He actually likes her, but he can't find a reason to convince himself that she treats him sincerely, just as he treats her, because he can no longer withstand betrayal and deception......

Before her, although he had two intercourse, but after all, he didn't move his heart, just pure physical needs, the first woman he really touched was naturally Wanyue, for her, he was willing to marry her beyond the prejudice of his concubine, but she deceived him, while swearing to him, while talking to Huangfu Nuoqing and me, when he noticed it, he felt that he was the stupidest man in the world, and the woman he loved betrayed him for so long, he was even kept in the dark, unaware, shame, great shame!

Now, the same question is in front of him.

Only this time, he wants to change the solution.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunting quickly got up and dressed, simply had breakfast, and hurriedly went out, after the morning court, Mu Yunting was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by the eunuch beside Huang Funuo, the eunuch walked to Mu Yunting's side in a soft voice, and said with a smile: "Lord Mu stays, the emperor is invited." ”

Huang Funuo was painting in the study, very concentrated.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor." Mu Yunting calmly stepped forward to salute.

"Hongyuan, I called you today because I have a personal matter to ask you." Huang Funuo put away the pen, carefully blew the ink on the painting, and didn't look at Mu Yunting, and asked very casually, "I remember that your wife is from Jingzhou, and there is an elder brother in the family, and in his generation, he took the title of an uncle, isn't it?"
