Mu Xue glanced at Jiang Ci and bit her lip secretly.

She raised her hand and presented the sword she had been holding in her arms in front of Mu Haifeng.

"Brother Haifeng, I heard that you lived up to expectations and won the battle, this is a congratulatory gift from Xiaoxue."

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

He is eighteen this year, and he is anxious to make achievements on the battlefield to prove that he is just for the next day when he returns to the general's mansion to propose marriage, General Mu will rest assured that he will marry his daughter to her.

And when he came back, he heard the news that she had married a woman, and married the cruel and unkind prince as the daughter of the general's mansion.

"Take it, Brother Haifeng."

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Mu Xue opened her mouth again.

As he spoke, he opened the sword box in his hand, and the sword inside surprised Mu Haifeng.

"This seems to be the Xuanying Sword?"

"Brother Haifeng's good eyesight, this is the Xuanming Sword, which the prince specially asked me to bring to you."

This sword is extraordinary....

And it was specially sent by the prince.

What does it mean, how could Mu Haifeng not understand.

He didn't rush to pick it up, but looked at Mu Xue with a fixed gaze, and asked her word by word: "Does Xiaoxue want Brother Haifeng to take it?" ”

Mu Xue took a big step forward, and the distance between the two of them narrowed again.

She raised her little face and looked at him with a smile like in a dream, and said in response to the question: "Brother Haifeng, you can protect Xiaoxue with this sword." ”

He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while.

Mu Xue felt that what she said might not be obvious, so there was a slight doubt in the man's eyes.

Such a man is so cute.

"Xiaoxue hopes that Brother Haifeng will take it."

The words were closed, but after a while, he looked at her fixedly, and finally reached out to take the Xuanming Sword.

Mu Xue subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to be relaxed: "The sword is a hero, my brother Haifeng should not live up to this sword." ”

After that, Mu Xue beckoned Fei Qi over, and Fei Qi helped Mu Xue to go to the general's mansion.

The people of the palace and the carriage of gifts have already entered.

Mu Haifeng was still standing there, holding a heavy sword in his hand.

Mu Xue pulled a precious and exquisitely crafted Hetian jade hairpin from her head, this thing was originally a pair, and at this moment she handed one to Jiang Ci's hand.

"Hide this thing in Mu Wanting's room within a stick of incense."

Jiang Ci took the order and took the jade hairpin without saying a word.

"Don't let anyone see it."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

The words were closed, and another dodge was gone.

When Mu Xue came to the front hall from the little girl who led the way, only the aunts and a few sisters were there, and a room of warblers and swallows were all gossiping and drinking tea together.

The so-called married daughter spilled the water, and Mu Xue was already a guest when she returned to the General's Mansion.

There is also a need for a servant to go in and report that the princess is here.

But obviously no one came out to greet Mu Xue, and Mu Xue also expressed her habit of this.

A room full of flowers and willows, Mu Xue saw Aunt Hong who was looking at her with disdain at a glance....

This Aunt Hong is the aunt who gave birth to a son for General Mu.

General Mu is old and has a son, so he naturally values this aunt more than ordinary aunts, so he has also developed her temperament of being high-eyed and low-handed.

Both of them were not good-looking, and between their eyes, the corners of Mu Xue's lips hooked an indifferent smile.

"Yo, this time I went to my mother's house, the shelf is not small."

Xu saw that Mu Xue was followed by a lot of people, and there were also a lot of gifts.

It seems that this person's life is oily and slippery, and many people don't like it.

Her voice was not small, and the entire front hall heard it.

At this moment, everyone looked at Mu Xue sideways, and they all thought that Mu Xue was here to show off.

"Since you know that my shelf is not small, shouldn't Aunt Hong salute me?"

Mu Xue sat on the main seat with an undoubted attitude, and swept the smoky people below with a leisurely gaze, and then stopped at this aunt's body, and said such a sentence casually.

"Hmph, it's up to you, and you're worthy of me to salute you?"

What a pustuated person this Mu Xue used to be, others don't know, don't the people in the General's Mansion know it?

When she was still a bully, as if she had heard some joke, she fought back.

Mu Xue glanced at her and understated.

Where did she lack such an aunt's gift, but she thought that this aunt had a golden bump and had been pressed under Mrs. Mu's hands, so she must have been dissatisfied for a long time.

Speaking of which, it is better for the backyard of the General's Mansion to have its own forces.

Since she needs this aunt to help herself in the future, it is better not to be too tough.

She took her scrutinizing eyes away from her, looked around but didn't see her father and wife, and asked casually, "Butler, where are father and wife?" ”

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Back to the princess, Prince Bao came to the mansion today, and the lord and lady received him, and he is in the study at the moment." ”

"Prince Bao is here?"

Prince Bao is the emperor's younger brother, the emperor is very fond of him, and he has a great influence in the court.

On the second day of junior high school today, what is he doing in the General's Mansion?

"Yes, Princess, please have tea."

Mu Xue didn't think much about using tea, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

This Prince Bao won't be here to be a matchmaker for the crown prince, right?

Before, Mu Wanting, a poisonous woman, had to force Mrs. Mu to arrange for herself to marry the divorced king, just because the relationship between Mu Wanting and the prince was unclear.

And that Mu Wanting is not in the front hall at the moment, she must have gone to the study to eavesdrop.

She put down the teacup and said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, this is a gift from the concubine to the aunts, you can help divide it, and bring Yunzhi over." ”

The previous orders were fine, but when Yunzhi was mentioned, the housekeeper's eyes flashed with embarrassment.

Mu Xue had a bad premonition in her heart, slowly put down the tea in her hand, and asked with a little suspicion, "What?" What's wrong with this concubine looking for a maid? ”

"It's not inappropriate, in the past, Yunzhi served the princess, and it is okay for you to keep Yunzhi by your side to serve, but now Yunzhi has been assigned to serve the eldest lady."

The eldest lady of the General's Mansion, isn't it Mu Wanting?

Mu Xue's eyes flashed with unbearability, Yunzhi's small body didn't know what it was like to be bullied under Mu Wanting's hands.

"What about the eldest lady?"

"The eldest lady may still be in the Bishui Courtyard and has never gone out..."

"Okay, Concubine Ben go and take a look, Concubine Ben hasn't caught up with Sister Wanting for a long time."

After that, she got up, Mu Xue showed a gesture in her eyes, and Fei Qi stepped forward to help Mu Xue.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, Mu Haifeng came towards her and happened to bump into her at the threshold.

The Communist Party had only met twice, and Mu Xue always felt sorry for this man.

At this moment, she subconsciously took two steps back to distance herself from each other, and she didn't even dare to look up at him, burying her head low.

"Brother Haifeng."

Her voice was like a mosquito,

"Is Xiaoxue going to Wenlan Garden?"

He thought that Xiaoxue was going back to his yard to take a look, although the inside of Wenlan Garden was quite dilapidated, but Mu Xue had lived in it for fifteen years.

"No, I'm going to take a look at Yunzhi, I heard that she is now in Bishui Courtyard."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

said that he would go with her, but he didn't want to see Mu Wanting bullying Mu Xue.

He was the child she didn't grow up and needed his protection.

"Okay."

Mu Xue waved her hand and commanded at the same time: "You stay away." ”

When they all retreated, Mu Xue went side by side with him in the direction of the blue water courtyard.

"I heard that Prince Bao is here today?"

"Hmm."

"What is Prince Bao here for? In the second year of junior high school today, why did he pick up this time? ”

He actually had a lot to ask her, and he didn't say much because of the presence of someone before, but now he has the opportunity to say something considerate, and when he heard Mu Xue's questions one after another, his words were swallowed in his stomach.

"Maybe I'm here to be a matchmaker for the prince. One day a year ago, when the weather was good, the prince asked the eldest lady to go to the snow to look for plums. ”

"Oh."

It seems that she has known all this for a long time, and Mu Xue is not too surprised.

The two of them walked slowly side by side, and they arrived at the lotus pond that killed Mu Xue that night.

She was standing on the edge of the pool at the moment, looking condescendingly at the broken ice cubes all over the lake, and the corners of her lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

"Xiaoxue, I...."

Xu knew what he was going to say, and Mu Xue quickly interrupted him.

"Let's go, it's cold here."

But the man grabbed Mu Xue's wrist violently and pulled the person back.

"Xiaoxue, don't go."

Her wrist was pulled, she wanted to break free but couldn't, and said anxiously: "Brother Haifeng, there are still people over there." ”

"Then you don't leave, okay?"

"Okay."

When she agreed, he took his hand back.

"Xiaoxue, you're in the palace, are you okay?"

As soon as she spoke, Mu Xue was a little surprised, she thought that he was going to question why she had broken her vows and married another man.

Surprised, but at the same time, I feel warm.

Finally, someone asked her how she was doing.

Since she woke up in a daze that day, no one has ever asked her this sentence.

Her heart was a soft mess, and at the moment when her eyes turned red, she quickly lowered her head and whispered, "It's okay." ”

Actually, it's not good, her left knee still has a dull pain.

Actually, it's not good, her face has been ruined.

Actually, it's not good, it's being watched day and night.

But these are not good, she doesn't want to tell him, lest he worry too much about himself.

Although she said that it was okay, he always felt that her life was not satisfactory.

He returned to the capital with the army on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and the first thing he did was to go to Wenlan Yuan to find her, wanting to tell her that the general had promised to marry her to himself.

He thought to himself that she would be very happy if she knew the news.

Before he had time to change his armor, he arrived at Wenlan Garden.

Wenlan Garden is still dilapidated, but it is quiet and terrible.

The snow in the yard has not been cleaned, and it seems that there has been no one living in it for some time.

There was no woman there who ran towards him when he arrived, and called him Brother Haifeng sweetly.
