Chapter Eighty-Seven: Those Who Prefer Themselves

Li Muqing looked at her and froze for a moment.

About half an hour later, the waiter painting and waiter Mo helped Xie Fanghua out of the room, with beads and clouds, eyebrows and light sweeps, ribbons and powder makeup, and bright jade. The person who is finely dressed is obviously still the same person, but it is like a jade sprinkled with moonlight, and the brilliance is dazzling and you can't take your eyes off.

Xie Yunlan said no more.

"Don't worry! Take her out, naturally you can't let her touch the dirty water. Li Muqing smiled and nodded.

Xie Yunlan glanced at Li Muqing twice, and saw that he was obviously wearing a brand new dress today, and the color of the clothes was crimson. He smiled, "I'm afraid it's not calm in the lake, Li Gongzi don't let the new clothes get dirty, it's not a good match." ”

Li Muqing sat on a chair in the courtyard and waited.

The waiter and the waiter helped Xie Fanghua into the house to freshen up and change clothes.

Li Muqing's disappointment was swept away, and he nodded with a smile, "Then I will have you to work." ”

"Yes, Miss!" It is rare to see Xie Fanghua's smile these days, nodding again and again, and at the same time reassuring Li Muqing, "Li Gongzi, don't worry, we will definitely dress up my young lady beautifully, so that you can take it out and have a good face." ”

Xie Fanghua looked at him, suddenly laughed, and beckoned to the painting and ink, "Did you hear that?" Just according to what Li Gongzi said, you give it to me...... Well, finely dressed. ”

Li Muqing was a little disappointed and sighed, "But you should also dress up finely, you have been recuperating in the mansion for half a month, and the first time you walked out of the mansion, you don't care about yourself, you should also think about me!" I am cheeky and come to propose marriage by myself, if the women around me do not like me, how can I gain a foothold in the future? ”

"My heart is not pleased with you!" Xie Fanghua gritted his teeth and said.

Li Muqing shook his head, "Didn't you say that women are those who please themselves?" ”

Xie Fanghua blushed in front of him for the first time and glared at him, "Are you sure you're not a disciple?" ”

Li Muqing looked at her and suggested, "Do you want to freshen up and dress up?" After a pause, he said with some embarrassment, "Now in spring and summer, everything is recovering, and the greenery is abundant, so you can wear a red and pink dress!" Red, pink and green, sitting in the lake, I don't know if the landscape is beautiful, or the people are beautiful. ”

"It's good!" Xie Fanghua bowed.

"I'm fine, but if you want to be quiet, I just don't follow." Yan Chen smiled.

"I still have to look at the account books, so naturally I don't have any leisure." Xie Yunlan shook his head.

"Take your two handmaidens with you, and don't let anyone else follow. Although the crowd is lively, swimming in the lake destroys the quiet beauty. Li Muqing glanced at Xie Yunlan and Yan Chen, and said with a smile.

Xie Fanghua remembered Li Muqing's craftsmanship and nodded.

Li Muqing smiled and went to Haitang Garden to pick up Xie Fanghua, and said to her, "After melting the ice, the lake water at this time is the clearest, the fish in the lake haven't eaten anything in winter, the internal organs are clean, and the grilling is the most fragrant." I can grill fish for you. ”

Zhongyong Hou waved his hand and agreed happily, "Anyway, you have to get married sooner or later, just go." ”

On the second day after Li Muqing asked to marry Xie Fanghua, he came to the door again, saying that she had been recuperating from her injuries for half a month, and he was afraid that she would be bored, so he wanted to take her to the lake.

The Xishan military camp was full of complaints for a while, but no matter how big the complaint was, it didn't dare to say it.

He seems to have forgotten the capital, the Ying Prince's Mansion, and Xie Fanghua, tossing people in the Xishan military camp, without distractions.

The nobles in the capital all have their own ways of survival, but many nobles can't survive if they are taken to the barracks. The army and the capital are naturally different. In the army, it is generally relied on fists to speak. Qin Zheng, a noble son, is a little demon king in the capital. Therefore, his fist went to the Xishan Military Camp to make it easy, and in a short period of time, it can be said that he was mixed up in the Xishan Military Camp.

After all, the Xishan military camp is thirty miles away from the capital, and the capital has been lively recently, so everyone ignored him, and no one talked about him.

I thought of the second son of Zheng again, it is said that after the second son of Zheng arrived at the barracks, he looked for someone to fight alone on the first day, and one person carried a hundred people. The leaders of the soldiers and generals in the Xishan military camp were all beaten down by him. In just a few days, he walked sideways in the Xishan military camp, and no one dared to trouble him, let alone provoke him.

The emperor valued Prince Ying's brotherhood, and specially recruited King Yuqian into Beijing to celebrate Prince Ying's birthday, but he didn't expect so many things to happen one after another. Now that the emperor is sick, Prince Ying and Princess Ying were knocked out in anger because of the cancellation of the marriage contract, and they are all speculating, I don't know if this birthday will pass?

In Prince Ying's mansion, since the princess made a big fuss, smashed the emperor's bedroom, and then wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum, after being knocked out by the prince, there has been no movement. Especially in three days, it will be Prince Ying's birthday, but this is obviously a big birthday, but Prince Ying's mansion has no joy at all.

Everyone wondered, could it be that the right minister and his wife also responded? and turned their eyes to the British Prince's Mansion.

After Li Muqing returned home, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion did not set off a storm, and was as calm as ever.

Everyone pays special attention to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Everyone knew that it was Li Muqing's own intention to go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong to ask for Xie Fanghua, and they all speculated that now the Marquis of Zhongyong agreed, and the right minister and his wife did not know whether they agreed or not.

Li Muqing returned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Right Prime Minister Li Yan and his wife were waiting for him.

Immediately afterwards, the old marquis agreed to the family affair, and Li Gongzi went to Haitang Garden to see Miss Fanghua, Miss Fanghua did not object, and the news of acquiescing to the family affair spread like the wind.

Li Muqing left Begonia Garden with a smile.

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Okay!" ”

Once replaced, the marriage is decided!

Li Muqing and Yan Chen each won or lost a game, and then seeing that it was getting late, Li Muqing said to Xie Fanghua, "Three days later, I will ask a matchmaker to come to the door and exchange Geng posts." ”

Xie Fanghua slowly fell to the ground with a large boulder, and nodded with a slightly wet eye. If it weren't for the fact that her heart was already ......

"Well, don't even look at me in the future." Xie Yunlan patted her.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

Xie Yunlan immediately smiled when he heard this, and took away the book she put on his face, "Yes, it's good that you know, no matter what time it is, I am your Yunlan brother." So, I don't force it, and you don't have to be afraid of the burden. Just let everything go its course, okay? It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. The road always has to go, and when there is no road, we just have to make a decision. ”

Xie Fanghua remembered the previous life, compared to this life, it was different, her eyes were sour, and she grabbed his sleeve again, "It's me who is stupid, no matter when, you are my Yunlan brother, I shouldn't be too scared to talk to you because I understand your thoughts." It's me who is wrong. ”

"Look at you, in front of me before, you could say whatever you wanted, but now you are cautious, always with a heart, and you think about it repeatedly before you speak. This is not the original you, nor is it my purpose. If I am a burden to you because I think about you, then why bother? Xie Yunlan sighed, "Am I stupid, or are you stupid?" ”

Xie Fanghua originally wanted to pretend to be relaxed, but he didn't know what to say when he heard the words.

Xie Yunlan suddenly smiled, "Fanghua, you don't have to be careful with me, I said, if you don't want to, I won't force it." Although I understand what Grandpa Xie meant, I am not afraid. I am afraid of you alone. ”

Xie Fanghua let go of his hand, bent down to pick up the book that was thrown away by Li Muqing on the ground, spread it out, and covered Xie Yunlan's face, "You cover it for a while, and when the book is taken away, you will find that the sky is really blue." ”

Xie Yunlan suddenly closed his eyes, "Fanghua, you always make me unbearable ......"

Xie Fanghua said in a low voice, "The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is in Nanqin for a day, and I will never leave myself and get out." Although you have a burning heart, you have been peaceful, stable, low-key and introverted for so many years, and once it is known, the peaceful days are gone. That's it for now! ”

Xie Yunlan turned his head to look at her.

Xie Fanghua turned her head, and saw a faint shadow between his eyebrows, her heart ached, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and said softly, "Brother Yunlan, I don't like you to suffer like this, we are still the same as before, okay?" ”

Halfway through the chess between the two, Xie Yunlan returned to Begonia Garden, glanced at the two, came to sit down beside Xie Fanghua, and said nothing.

Xie Fanghua changed his body into a comfortable posture and looked up at the sky above his head, which was blue.

The two of you go back and forth, playing against each other.

Yan Chen smiled and pushed the chess box to him.

"Sure enough, it's hard to raise only women." Li Muqing turned around, walked to the opposite of Yan Chen and sat down, "Brother Yan Chen is invited, don't dare to disobey." ”

"The eyes of the people in the capital of Southern Qin are blind, is this a gentleman?" Xie Fanghua scoffed.

Li Muqing sighed, "I came here with trepidation, but all the nervousness disappeared in a moment. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? ”

Yan Chen smiled, "Li Gongzi's martial arts are good, in order to protect the begonia flowers in Begonia Garden these days, I can't sleep peacefully every night, I am very tired, and I may not be able to throw him out." After a pause, he looked at the two of them, and his voice changed, "However, I can invite him to play a game of chess and help you get rid of this annoying person." I don't know if Li Gongzi can appreciate his face? ”

Xie Fanghua closed his eyes, "Yan Chen, quickly throw this nasty person out of the wall for me!" ”

"Is this a tacit acquiescence?" Li Muqing looked at her.

Xie Fanghua saw his gentlemanly smiling face, and he couldn't get a seizure for a while, and glared at him, "My grandfather has agreed, and you still come to ask me what to do?" ”

Li Muqing took the book, didn't look at it, threw it aside, and smiled at her, "I ask you again, I ask you to marry, do you have any opinions?" ”

Xie Fanghua couldn't help but let go of his hand when he heard the end.

"Have you forgotten that I accompanied you to steal the scriptures from the Dharma Buddha Temple? Have you forgotten that you can't eat the Yangchun noodles that are in my bowl? Have you forgotten that Qinghe Cui's underground secret passage can't walk, I can carry you? Have you forgotten that I cooked for you? Li Muqing asked several questions in a row.

Xie Fanghua dragged him and didn't let him take it.

Li Muqing heard the conversation between the two, paused, coughed, his face couldn't help but blush, walked closer, and reached out to take the book that Xie Fanghua covered his face.

Xie Fanghua rolled her eyes when she heard this, and covered her face with a book.

Yan Chen shook his head with a smile, "I think it's close to love!" ”

"Look, is this a gentleman's style?" Xie Fanghua turned around and asked Yan Chen with a smile.

Li Muqing smiled, "I thought you wouldn't welcome me!" The words fell, and he walked in.

Xie Fanghua was looked at by him for a moment, he couldn't stand it, and said with a smile, "What are you looking at?" Why don't you come in? ”

Not long after, Li Muqing entered the Begonia Garden, and at a glance saw Xie Fanghua leaning on the recliner and Yan Chen, who was sitting not far away and playing with chess pieces. He stopped and looked at Xie Fanghua quietly.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

After the two of them finished talking, the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard came, and the waiter glanced out and said in a low voice, "Miss, it's Gongzi Li!" ”

"Well, mother's family!" Yan Chen smiled.

"It's not a spectator, it's my mother's family!" Xie Fanghua said with a smile.

"I don't know if she can be my wife, but in this life, as long as you can use me, I will come thousands of miles away." Yan Chen smiled, "There are too many people who want to marry you, so I won't join in the fun, just be a spectator." ”

"A woman like Qi Yunxue, although I was unhappy when I met her, I have to admit that she is worthy of you." Xie Fanghua looked at him, "When I'm healed, you can go back to Northern Qi!" ”

Yan Chen looked at her with a smile.

Xie Fanghua slowly put away his smile and said in a low voice, "Yan Chen, you are very good, excellent, it's just that I'm not blessed." ”

"However, these days, I'm thinking, love words are harmful. It's okay if I didn't answer you, maybe in this life, I have some regrets, regrets, but being able to be a close friend is less torture than love. Yan Chen said, and he smiled, "I probably knew that we missed it, but we missed it, and there was no more chance." That's why let's say so! It's also a relief to yourself. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at him amusedly.

Yan Chen was stunned, "It was a mistake to not respond at the beginning." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Yes, but you didn't want me at the beginning." ”

Yan Chen looked at her calmly, "Sometimes I think that Qi Yunxue and I have never gotten along since we were children, and we have no affection, if I explained to you at that time that I would ruin the marriage, take the marriage as a condition, and cooperate with you, and then we sympathized with each other, some affection, maybe better than your current situation, at least, I have been wandering for many years, not the Yu family, and it is not bad to be a rich son-in-law." ”

Xie Fanghua was surprised when she heard this, looked at her, and suddenly smiled, "I thought you wouldn't say anything you regretted!" ”

Yan Chenwaner, "Back then, in the cave of the Nameless Mountain, it would be nice if I answered you. It doesn't have to be ...... now I regret it. ”

Xie Fanghua sighed when she heard this, and said quietly, "Yan Chen, you are by my side, I feel very good, and my heart is steady." But now that you've spread everything out in front of me so that I can see clearly, I don't think it's good. ”

Yan Chen continued, "Li Muqing, the son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, is better than his father. The right minister is sleek and sophisticated, and he is scheming, but for now, he can't control his son's claims. The right prime minister is in the middle of the position, one person is above 10,000 people, and the lintel is enough with the loyal and brave marquis' mansion. And he has a heart for you, so naturally it couldn't be better. ”

Xie Fanghua didn't speak.

"That's it! Protecting the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is your belief since childhood, and you have a responsibility on your shoulders, and you have a tenacious persistence that is stronger than your brother Xie Mohan. The old marquis knew it, how could he still agree to Xie Yunlan? Yan Chen looked at her, "At this time, Li Muqing is the best choice." ”

Xie Fanghua shook his head, "No! ”

"That is, you and Xie Yunlan left Nanqin, either in seclusion, or to Meizu, and left the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." Yan Chen looked at her, "In this way, first, it prevents people from prying eyes, and second, it prevents implicating the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." Can you abandon the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion? ”

"What is possible?" Xie Fanghua asked softly.

"You are the identity of the Miss of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, compared to your identity as the heir of the Meizu Holy Maiden, it is really the difference between a small witch and a big witch." Yan Chen said slowly, "Unless there is a possibility, the old marquis can be allowed to thank Yunlan." ”

Xie Fanghua pursed the corners of her mouth.

"It doesn't matter who you and who you are, it's just a matter of love and affection, and you can't dig up more things to talk about after dinner. But it can't be collected on you and Xie Yunlan, because both of you have secrets that can't be known. Most people in the world are curious, and once their eyes are focused on the two of you, they must find out what is going on, sooner or later. Yan Chen looked at her, "Think about it, at this time, how could the old marquis agree to Xie Yunlan?" ”

Xie Fanghua's face changed.

Yan Chen continued, "Xie Yunlan's Meizu Heart-burning Technique, if the emperor knows about it and investigates it carefully, then his identity can always be found and found out. If you marry him and get involved, your identity will not be able to be concealed at that time. After a pause, he whispered, "I'm afraid your life won't be peaceful in the future!" You must know that the blood of the Meizu Holy Maiden can live all living beings, this is the most treasure, who doesn't want you? ”

Xie Fanghua was silent.

Yan Chen sighed, "Don't say the same surname, just talk about the identity of the Meizu, the old marquis marries your father, how can you not know your mother's identity?" Back then, you covered up your mother's identity and married into the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and then this secret has been unknown, and there is an old marquis's arm in it, because I don't want this secret to be exposed, and everyone knows it. ”

Xie Fanghua's face froze and looked at him, "Why?" ”

"In my opinion, this is a foregone conclusion! The old marquis won't let you marry Xie Yunlan. Yan Chen said again.

Xie Fanghua turned around and glared at Yan Chen.

Yan Chen saw Xie Yunlan leaving, his eyes looked at Xie Fanghua's stunned appearance again, and suddenly smiled, "It's really a family with a hundred women!" The old marquis is right, it's not that you can't get married. ”

Xie Fanghua came back to his senses, saw Xie Yunlan's back walking quickly, opened his mouth, and didn't stop him.

"I'll go find the old marquis now!" Xie Yunlan threw the chess pieces, stood up, and walked out.

"Miss, it's true, Mr. Li hasn't left yet!" The waiter said in a low voice, "The old marquis asked about Li Gongzi's intention, and he responded very cheerfully, and he seemed to be extremely happy." He said that he had intended for Li Gongzi earlier, but the old man on the right was too tactful, and the lintel of his house was noble, so he was afraid that he would not want to offend the emperor and marry the Marquis of Zhongyong, so he gave up. Now since Li Gongzi is bent on begging, his attitude is so sincere, and his heart for Miss is only a lot more, so there is no reason why he should not be. ”

The two of them were also stunned for a moment.

She sat on the recliner in the courtyard, unable to come back to her senses for a while, and looked at Xie Yunlan and Yan Chen, who were playing chess not far away.

When Xie Fanghua knew, the capital had already spread the word about this matter.

Marquis Zhongyong responded to the news of Li Muqing's marriage proposal, covering the entire Southern Qin capital like snowflakes.
