Chapter 230: Love
The face of the county lord of Zhaohua was bloodless, his lips were white and trembling, the wrist that was held by Ah Jiu also trembled unconsciously, his eyes completely dimmed, and his always upright body seemed to be a little bit.
In her eyes, Ah Jiu discovered fear and shame for the first time.
Why fear? Why the shame?
I'm afraid it all falls on the body of Chengguo Gong Lu Jiang.
After the county lord of Zhaohua verbally attacked and belittled Lu Tianyang again and again, it was impossible for Ah Jiu to forgive or sympathize with her.
"I ...... I don't know. The county lord of Zhaohua looked dazed, "She abandoned Lu Yun, the prince of Eastern Liao, and gave up the identity of the crown princess with a fake death, this matter was originally a scandal of the Eastern Liao royal family, and her fake death was only known to the Lu family and Lu Yun, the prince of Eastern Liao, who covered up a qiē for her. ”
After the beloved woman made a new choice, the tragic Lu Yun actually chose to let go and fulfill, but he could no longer treat Lu Jiang like a sibling, but he finally let Lu Jiang go when Lu Jiang was most dangerous.
As a result, Lu Jiang and his family surrendered to the Western Qin State.
Most of the people who knew that Lu Jiang had married a wife were wiped out, and Lu Jiang was very clean when he first met the county lord of Zhaohua.
"Later, I knew, why didn't you leave Chengguo Gong?" Ah Jiu couldn't understand how the proud county lord of Zhaohua could endure Lu Jiang's concealment.
"I've given birth to Ling Feng." The county lord of Zhaohua smiled bitterly, and his arm slowly drooped down, "In your eyes, Lu Jiang is sinister and despicable, ruthless and unjust, but I care about him, it's not that I haven't hated him, and I can't leave." In fact, sometimes even I look down on myself. ”
Another woman who is crazy about love, Lu Jiang ...... Where is it worth it?
Lord Zhaohua hides his love very deeply. Even self-hypnosis doesn't like Lu Jiang so much, if he doesn't like it, how can he be inseparable.
It can't be just for Lu Lingfeng.
"She died in childbirth. The son she gave birth to didn't be of much use to Ling Feng, so he could disappear, and I could have treated it as if there was no such thing. ”
Lord Zhaohua's eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling light, "Lu Tianyang is still alive, better than Ling Feng, he is like a store that proves my stupidity, Ah Jiu." You don't understand that feeling, Lu Jiangxu is pleasing to me, but I know that he still has others in his heart. I don't even know who is more important in his heart. ”
"The county lord should not suffer from gains and losses for love."
"Shouldn't it? What should I do in your eyes? Dare to love and hate? Proud? ”
"If you don't have any intentions, I'll take a break." Ah Jiu said softly, "There are many things in this world that are more important than love, what is it for a person who is not worthy and can't see the merits of the county lord." Change yourself? Endure things or people that clearly conflict with your own principles? ”
"Huh."
Lord Zhaohua suddenly laughed. smiled happily, but also a little mocking, "Lu Tianyang also has people who can't get it, poor people, he's very pitiful." ”
Ah Jiu bit his lip, and somewhat understood why the county lord of Zhaohua took pity on Lu Tianyang.
"It's easy to say it, but it's hard to do, and I always have hope for Lu Jiang. I hope that one day he will be able to come out completely and let go of the past. Join me in the fight to the end. ”
"The damage isn't deep enough."
Ah Jiu also hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, "The county lord can endure it only because he has already erased the traces of the year, even if I and Hou Ye can't prove it at this time, so the county lord can deceive himself." It's just that I don't know if Cheng Guogong still has something to hide from the county lord. ”
"There's no way he's hiding anything from me." The county lord of Zhaohua seems to persuade Ah Jiu, and he seems to convince himself. After destroying the plum orchard, Lu Jiang has completely changed.
Ah Jiu sneered and glanced at the county lord of Zhaohua, "No matter how hard you work in the false dream, there will be a day when you break it, county lord, you can do it yourself." ”
"Finally, Hou Ye and I have no intention of pursuing revenge for the past, Hou Ye's current life and death, honor and disgrace, the county lord can't decide, you better give up earlier."
Ah Jiu walked out of the living room past Lord Zhaohua.
The warm sunlight dispelled the irritability in her heart, and she squinted her eyes comfortably, Lu Tianyang was coming back, for the sake of this good news, Ah Jiu decided to go back to the house in advance, not to see how Mo Xinqing used Mo Xinlan to be Lu Lingfeng's concubine.
Seeing too many ugly things is too bad for a good mood.
Ah Jiu got into the carriage, leaning on the cushion behind him, humming a minor tune in a very good mood, with a sweet smile on his lips, leaning on the cushion and not leaning comfortably in his arms.
Lu Tianyang has an excellent figure, it feels very comfortable to the touch, he is completely held in his arms, warm in winter and cool in summer, he will not feel that his muscles are very hard, nor will he feel soft, his breath completely envelops himself, as if he is cherished in the palm of his hand, which is safe and comfortable.
It turns out that I will miss him too, and his shadow will appear in my dreams.
Ah Jiu frowned, the tune he hummed was the one he had played before...... His influence on himself became deeper and deeper, and Ah Jiu was a little flustered, and he felt like he was out of control.
"He's not Lu Jiang, and I'm not the county lord of Zhaohua."
*******
The banquet in Huaiwangfu did not break out any jaw dropping, and Ah Jiu was surprised that Mo Xinqing canceled the plan.
"Lu Lingfeng didn't go to Huaiwang's Mansion?"
"Lu Shizi was called to the study by Cheng Guogong, and he didn't go out at all that day."
Ah Jiu nodded in understanding, without the male protagonist present, of course Mo Xinqing had to give up the established arrangement, coupled with Ah Jiu's conflict with the county lord of Zhaohua that day, after Ah Jiu left, the county lord of Zhaohua also left the Huaiwang Mansion very quickly, and the eldest princess who felt sorry for her daughter left the table early, and the huge banquet of the Huaiwang Mansion could only end hastily.
Princess Huai Mo Xinlan, who wanted to take this opportunity to be neutral in the circle of women, was very disappointed, and because of the rumors that the queen was meddling in King Qi's stepchild, the queen was reprimanded by Emperor Shenwu.
The aggrieved queen mother directly called Mo Xinlan into the palace, but for the sake of the eldest princess, the queen didn't toss Mo Xinlan like in the past, but more and more people looked at Mo Xinlan.
King Huai was also pulled away by the side concubines more and more often.
Obviously, Mo Xinlan's status as a princess cannot be shaken, but she may not be favored by King Huai.
The queen must not let Mo Xinlan affect King Huai, and then bring irreparable trouble to the crown prince.
"Don't mention her. When will the man who sent the groom to Beijing arrive? ”
"If you go back to Mrs., you can get to the imperial capital in half a month at the earliest."
Ah Jiu nodded, "This is hidden from Master Hou in advance." I know that you are the Hou Ye's people and don't dare to hide it from him, the Hou Ye has a deep prejudice against the Zhaohua County Lord and others, and I will tell the Hou Ye after a thorough investigation. ”
"Yes, ma'am."
They didn't think the groom was very important, but Madame had always taken a different path, and they didn't dare say anything.
In fact, when they were looking for the groom, they had already told Hou Ye the news, and Hou Ye also instructed Yi Qiqi to act according to his wife's orders.
Hou Ye is not an ordinary trust and pampering of his wife.
Master Hou, that's Mrs. Ask for stars. Don't dare to give it to the lord of the moon.
Standing beside Ah Jiu, they glanced at each other, and at the same time nodded silently, listening to Madame first.
"Ma'am. 陛xià has a reward. The maid at the door reported the news with joy.
Ah Jiu hurriedly got up and greeted the living room, Emperor Shenwu has always been generous to the ministers who favor and compete, and since the good news came, Emperor Shenwu rewarded Ah Jiu almost every time.
Today's reward is extraordinarily heavy. Good things don't need to be piled up in front of Ah Jiu like money.
And this time it was Ma Gonggong. "Mrs. Yuhou, I originally said that Marquis Yu would return to Beijing in three days, and His Majesty was also kind to Marquis Yu's invitation, but things have changed, and the emperor ordered Marquis Yu to lead his troops to level somewhere...... Therefore, Marquis Yu postponed his return to Beijing for two days. ”
"Your Majesty is afraid that Madame is worried about Marquis Yu, so let the slave and maid come to inform her."
"Somewhere?" Ah Jiu felt a little dangerous when he heard it.
"His Majesty personally sealed the secret decree, and no one knows the specific location except His Majesty Xià and Yu Hou."
"My father and mother have also postponed their return to Beijing?"
"Marquis Yu divided his troops to escort Marquis Mo and his wife back to Beijing ahead of schedule."
"Master Hou should be loyal to His Majesty." Ah Jiu sent Ma Gonggong away with a smile, no matter how much worry he had, he couldn't show it in front of Ma Gonggong. After all, Gonggong Ma represented the Shenwu Emperor who came to spy on him.
Ordered someone to put the reward into the warehouse, Ah Jiu was a little tired and shook his head. It's always like I can't wake up lately, and I'm too worried about Lu Tianyang?
It's not that no one persuaded Ah Jiu to recruit the imperial doctor, Ah Jiu refused because of the trouble, at this time, the movement in Yuhou's mansion is too big, but it is not good, and his body is clear, it is not too big a problem, it is just easy to get tired.
On the outskirts of Beijing, Mo Guanjie lifted the curtain of the car, and the officials who greeted him could be seen in the distance, with a bitter smile on his lips, and sighed, "It's troublesome, it's too troublesome." ”
Jiang Shi hugged his young son and gently rubbed the red cheeks of his sleeping son, "No matter how troublesome it is, you have to deal with it, and Hou Ye can't hide from it." ”
Another team of people came from the direction of the capital, and the officials who greeted Mo Guanjie held their breath one by one, knelt down and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
The eldest princess sitting on the horse raised her hand, motioned for the officials to get up, looked at the carriage from far and near, and unconsciously tightened the reins, could it be like Ah Jiu said that Mo Guanjie would never recognize himself?
The carriage stopped, Mo Guanjie jumped down from the carriage first, and then helped down the Jiang family who was holding his young son, Mo Junyong stood behind Mo Guanjie, clenching the uneasy Lingshan's wrist.
Ling Shan lowered her head, she was not compatible in the first place, and now Mo Junyong has become the grandson of the eldest princess, even if Mo Guan agrees, will the eldest princess nod?
"Don't worry, the eldest princess can't order me, I will marry you."
Mo Junyong is much more mature than before, he has experienced the turmoil in Jiangnan, he is more responsible, Mo Guanjie has already told him that he has to face difficulties, Mo Junyong can't let Ling Shan nod, naturally he doesn't want the eldest princess to interfere in his marriage.
He is not just a Confucian like in the past, and his tempering and growth have given him the courage to compete with anyone.
The Mo family doesn't need to marry, and he won't sacrifice Ling Shan.
Mo Guanjie felt the eldest princess's loving, guilty, and expectant gaze, was silent for a while, stepped forward, and slowly knelt down under the gaze of his colleagues: "Minister Mo Guanjie pays a visit to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Heartache, the eldest princess pursed her lips tightly, her heart hurts, how long has it been since she tried the taste of His Royal Highness Heartache?
Mo Guanjiejun looked thinner because of the military disaster in Jiangnan, but his body was as tough as Jin Song, and the shadow of her husband Mu Yi could be vaguely seen on his face.
Turning over and dismounting, the eldest princess pushed away the guards who were serving on her side and walked in front of Mo Guanjie, "You are my son, a descendant of the Mu family, because I wanted to protect you before, I used Li Dai's strategy to provoke stiffness." ”
"Your Highness, the minister's surname is Mo."
"Why are you so stubborn?" The eldest princess said angrily: "It's the same as Ah Jiu, don't you know? Do you have to drill the horns? ”
Mo Guanjie raised his head, the most precious eldest princess in the empire was his biological mother, which was something he never dreamed of, "The minister has a wife and a child, and there is no need for His Highness to teach the minister how to do it, if he knows a qiē before the canonization of the Yan Kingdom, the minister will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and now the minister feels unworthy, so please let His Highness let the minister go." ”
"The wealth and glory of the minister, there is no need for His Highness to seek for the minister."
"His Royal Highness can come to receive the ministers, and the ministers are grateful, but other than that, the ministers have nothing to do with His Highness."
"You ......"
The eldest princess didn't know what to say, and her chest was like a stone, "Even if I'm wrong, the prince has always hoped that you will recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." ”
"The minister only has admiration for Lord Mu, and then goes to other things. Please also ask Your Highness not to force the ministers. ”
Mo Guanjie got up and greeted his colleagues who were standing in the distance, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
The officials greeted Mo Guanjie with a smile on their faces, and the stiff body of the eldest princess was enough to show that she had not been able to recognize her son as she wished.
This Mo Guanjie is really stubborn enough, he will admit it early.
The eldest princess suddenly turned around and took two steps forward, grabbed Mo Guanjie's arm, and said sharply: "Don't you think that you are deceiving yourself by denying me?" ”
The horsewhip in her hand pointed at the official, and the eldest princess stared at Mo Guanjie tightly, "Who doesn't know the relationship between me and your mother and son?" Even if you don't recognize me, you can't change the blood you have in your body to keep me and the prince's blood. ”
Officials and guards looked down at the grass mustard on the ground.
Mo Guanjie slowly broke the eldest princess's hand, her eyes were full of disappointment and pain, but he was more painful than the eldest princess, "The minister has been left behind twice, and he doesn't want to be left behind for the third time, are you sure that the minister is not another shield?" Besides, the minister treated his cousin's family badly, and his aunt died because of this, which has touched the bottom line of the minister, and the minister cannot obey his fate. ”
"They...... They don't deserve to be mentioned, there is a reason why they left you and didn't recognize you, I ...... How could he mistake his son? ”
The eldest princess seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and became weak, "You can't be so ruthless. ”
Seeing Mo Guanjie stop, the eldest princess looked at him with hope, "I am also a mother, and I hope my son is safe." ”
It is precisely because of this that she recognized an imposter and secretly took care of Mo Guanjie.
"You and your ministers think differently, and sooner or later they will have a bad relationship with each other because of disputes."
Mo Guanjie didn't look back, no matter how hard his heart was, the eldest princess would become a little softer, "The minister didn't want to be in trouble, and finally looked at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess angrily, Her Royal Highness is still the most valuable eldest princess in the empire, the Mu family is a famous family in the empire, and His Royal Highness is living very well, so it is better to live their own lives according to the status quo." ”
At this time, Ah Jiu came in a carriage and pounced directly on Mo Guanjie, "Dad, I miss you and my mother so much." ”
Mo Guanjie's indifferent face suddenly squeezed out a smile, and rubbed Ah Jiu's forehead, "Your mother and I have been thinking about you, Ah Jiu didn't disappoint me, and did a good job." ”
"Shall we go back?"
Ah Jiu glanced at the eldest princess.
"Go back to the Hou Mansion." Mo Guanjie smiled: "I know you're worried about Tianyang, and I'll tell you about him slowly." (To be continued......)
