Chapter 161: Ask Him to marry us
The clouds are scattered across the sky, gathering and dispersing freely, they are free, leisurely and beautiful, as if mocking the hurried and tired red mortal people under the ten thousand feet.
Gao Yang is one of the people in this hurried and tired world, at the end of the year, before dawn, she got up from the warm quilt, with her identity, unless she asked the queen's mother to say goodbye, Bai Qianhua and the emperor were still in Chang'an, there was no need to ask for peace at all, it was cold, she got up so early to rush to King Mu's mansion.
When they arrived at Mu Wang's Mansion, they had a hot breakfast with Mu Zhefeng, and the two of them sat idly in the study, the rising sun shone in through the screen window, and Gao Yang rubbed his hands and walked back and forth.
Mu Zhefeng instructed his subordinates to bring charcoal basins and light up the red basket of charcoal, he has never been afraid of the cold, there is no bamboo dust in the courtyard, and the subordinates hurried to Concubine Liu's Muxian Zhai to get charcoal.
He stepped back, lit the red basket of charcoal with his own hands, beckoned Gao Yang to sit on the rose chair by the charcoal basin, Gao Yang, who was stomping back and forth in the cold, hurriedly did so, just sat down, a pair of big hands Ma Li covered her hands, the thick big hands with calluses, at a glance, you can see that the owner of the hand is a person who practices martial arts.
Gao Yang slowly let go of Mu Zhefeng's hand, pretending to be relaxed, and pretending to be natural: "Come over early in the morning, don't talk to General Mu." β
"Whenever you come, I like it." Mu Zhefeng had already lit the charcoal basin on the ground, but he still didn't get up, just squatted and talked to Gao Yang, the height difference between him and Gao Yang, even if he squatted on the ground, there was not much difference between him and her who was sitting.
He finished his words, staring at Gao Yang in front of him blankly, looking at it seriously, as if he was looking at a lost and recovered treasure, which was precious, and no matter how he looked at it, it was not enough.
Gao Yang was uncomfortable by Mu Zhefeng's eager eyes, and she was thinking about what to say to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
She and Mu Zhefeng had an unusual relationship, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, lonely men and widows were in the study together, a few wisps of smoke slowly floated from the red basket of charcoal in the charcoal basin, the smoke seemed to be not smoke, but a tangible ambiguous atmosphere, time suddenly condensed, Mu Zhefeng had an urge to get up and hug Gao Yang.
He restrained himself, and he remembered that Gao Yang had rejected him.
He got up and flicked the gray stains off the corners of his robe, motioned for Gao Yang to get up, and then moved the rose chair to his bookcase, and then returned to bring the charcoal basin to the bookcase.
Gao Yang understood, sat down on the chair opposite the bookcase, Mu Zhefeng sat back in the main seat of the bookcase, and after a while, a maid brought two cups of hot tea, and Gao Yang casually grabbed the warm teacup in his hand to keep warm.
She stabilized her emotions and made sure that she was very sober, so she asked generously and naturally, "How is General Mu doing in recent days?" β
The two sat opposite each other, with a marble-inlaid mahogany bookcase in the middle, I don't know if Gao Yang was too cold, as soon as she spoke, her mouth was hot, looking at Gao Yang's cold and shivering appearance, Mu Zhefeng hurriedly lowered his head and turned over his book.
He couldn't look at Gao Yang anymore, and if he looked at it any more, he would definitely be uncontrollable and hug the trembling woman.
Suddenly, he remembered something again, and hurriedly pulled out a scroll of paintings from a large pile of books and picture scrolls, and put it on his side, for fear that Gao Yang would find something.
Gao Yang blinked her eyes and raised her eyebrows, she guessed, tilted her head and squinted at him, like a naughty girl, "What are you afraid I will find?" β
"It's nothing, it's just some official documents of the imperial court." Mu Zhefeng replied lightly, trying his best to pretend to be serious and old-fashioned on weekdays, but in fact, he was panicked, he was afraid that Gao Yang would find out, and he was looking forward to her finding out.
Mu Zhefeng's awkward mood, Gao Yang saw it, she smiled and stretched out a hand, "Give it to me." β
"Nope." Mu Zhefeng refused.
"What if I have to see it."
Gao Yang smiled even more happily, Mu Zhefeng in front of him looked like he wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse, at this time, he was not at all like General Mu, who held great power in the imperial court, but more like a naΓ―ve child who was wronged and misunderstood, and had great courage to resist adults, but the fear and grievances in his heart were still revealed in front of others.
Mu Zhefeng is Mu Zhefeng in the end, he realized that he was very naΓ―ve in Gao Yang's eyes, and immediately felt embarrassed, and in an instant, he changed back to his usual ice cube face, "Princess Zhenguo came to find a minister, I don't know why?" β
Gao Yang played with the hot teacup in his hand, and when he saw that Mu Zhefeng had turned back to serious and old-fashioned, he immediately lost interest, and he no longer bothered about the painting, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to General Mu, General Mu is busy with business, I have a lot of inconvenience here, so I won't talk to General Mu." β
Before Gao Yang got up, Mu Zhefeng was so anxious, he wanted to tell Gao Yang that he wouldn't let her go, and hoped that she would stay, he was so anxious that he blurted out, "Don't you just want to see this painting, I'll show you, I'll show you it!" β
Gao Yang, who was halfway up from the ground, was amused by Mu Zhefeng's anxious appearance, and reached out to paint.
Mu Zhefeng respectfully presented the scroll to Gao Yang.
Gao Yang took the painting with satisfaction, opened it and saw that the painting was none other than herself, it was her and a big tree, she closed her eyes, and enjoyed leaning under the tree, and there was a fiery red leaf on top of the tree, red and shining, red and bright, so red that Gao Yangfang was intoxicated, this ...... It's a maple tree.
Mu Zhefeng's name contains a "maple" word, she didn't know the reason for this, and then she pretended to be stupid and lived in Mu Wang's Mansion for a period of time, and mistakenly broke through the forbidden maple forest, every maple tree in the maple forest was planted by the princess of Zhenli who was the king of Zhenli for the immortals, and their love moved the heavens and the earth, so they named their only son Mu Zhefeng to commemorate this love in the name of "maple".
At that time, Gao Yang accidentally broke into the Maple Forest, Mu Zhefeng was so angry that he almost beat her, at that time, he was disgusted that Gao Yang had anything to do with his Maple Forest, why now, not only did he mind? He even painted her portrait with his own hands, and leaned intimately under the maple tree.
Maple refers to Mu Zhe Feng?
This is unimaginable, Mu Zhefeng was cold and disgusted with her at the beginning, although she seduced him with her body, they had male and female lust, so what? She didn't believe that people like Mu Zhefeng would easily give her sincerity, and a few days before she set off for Shaanxi, Mu Zhefeng's affectionate confession seemed to still echo in her ears.
His confession, she was not moved, but she didn't believe it, she really didn't have the ability to believe it, even if the man in front of her swore and moved the world, and she was like a monk who was beyond the ordinary, quietly listening to the love story, as if listening to the stories of others.
Numb listened to the touching words, and there was not the slightest wave in her heart, she had lost the ability to love.
Come to think of it, are you a little disappointed to hear such a reply? Gao Yang saw his disappointment, but he didn't feel guilty about it.
The love between men and women is what you and I want, if you are emotional, I will only be proud, and you will lose.
"You say maple trees are beautiful, I think - the beauty in the painting is even better!" Mu Zhefeng said.
Gao Yang smiled, she pretended to be confused, "Isn't the beauty in the painting just me?" β
Mu Zhefeng snatched the painting from Gao Yang's hand, he carefully put the scroll back in place, and said: "Draw casually when you are idle, the princess doesn't have to take it seriously." β
"I'm not serious." Gao Yang blinked his innocent eyes and replied without thinking.
Putting down the movements in his hand, Mu Zhefeng stared intently at Gao Yang's eyes, the two of them looked at each other, he desperately searched for something in her eyes, but unfortunately, in her eyes, he didn't find what he wanted.
In her eyes, there is everything, but not him.
Compared to Gao Yang's pretense of confusion and generosity, on the other hand, Mu Zhefeng, he was the fiasco in this short battle, he was panicked, he was nervous and expectant, he was completely confused because of Gao Yang's joy and anger affecting his emotions.
Isn't this just a verification of the words, whoever moves the truth will lose.
In front of her, the battle had not even begun, and it was already a complete defeat.
"The princess should be here for business!" Mu Zhefeng retracted his grievances and sadness about the injustice of love and began to get down to business.
"Yes!" Gao Yang nodded, since Mu Zhefeng began to ask about the right thing, he should focus on the main thing, these ups and downs, the love of children and daughters should be investigated later.
"But you're here for the Eagle Division?"
"I want to borrow someone from General Mu." In front of Mu Zhefeng, she would not call herself this palace, she herself was a few catties and a few taels, how much weight, she knew very well that she would feel ridiculous if she called herself this palace in front of Mu Zhefeng, who was full of power.
"Who does the princess want to borrow?" Mu Zhefeng raised his hand to add a cup of hot tea to Gao Yang.
"Li Kai."
Mu Zhefeng shook his head, "Li Kai is too kind to me, it is not appropriate for him to assist you in investigating my brother!" β
"I'm ignoring that, then..... Let me change someone, I don't know a few of your men! Gao Yang rolled her eyes and thought seriously, who else besides Li Kai had the ability, power, and appropriate position and identity to participate, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "General Jian Ya!" β
"Why him?" Mu Zhefeng lifted a cup of tea, blew it gently, frowned and asked, very puzzled by Gao Yang's mention of Jian Ya.
"It's just because, except for Li Kai and Jian Ya, I don't know anyone under you." Gao Yang explained with a smile, she thought to herself, Mu Zhefeng must have thought that she had some advanced considerations, and she didn't feel funny.
However, she is just, she knows too few people, and she has no choice, so she can only choose a Jianya she knows.
Mu Zhefeng lowered his head and pondered, and then replied: "This person is quite suitable. β
How does it fit? Jian Ya has been following the ghost shadow to be in charge of the affairs of the imperial tomb, and it is appropriate to be suddenly transferred back to the capital? Mu Zhefeng didn't seem to intend to explain the reason, and Gao Yang simply didn't ask.
She said to Mu Zhefeng, "In this way, then thank you General Mu!" β
Seeing Gao Yang's appearance of wanting to leave, Mu Zhefeng was anxious again, didn't this woman have no heart and no liver? She followed Mu Zhiqing to Shaanxi for so long, and she almost lost her life in the middle, forcing her own father to death, so many things happened, don't you want to say anything to him.
But it's right to think about it, what to say to him, confide in him on the battlefield, watch the court fight with his father and brother, cry bitterly and tell him that she had to force her own father to death, and tell him all her experiences and pains, after that, what can he Mu Zhefeng help, what can he change, and why does she tell him, who is he!
In the end, he held back his reluctant emotions and did not say the words to stay, but asked Gao Yang with temptation, "Ming Dailing never forgets your old feelings, he seems to have always wanted to pester you!" β
On the way back to Beijing, Gao Yang also thought about this problem, her former husband Ming Dailing, and ...... Mu Zhefeng, who has a lover relationship, they are going to meet eventually, and neither of these two can be easily offended, both of them are arrogant, and no one will let anyone.
Ming Dailing's identity is not as good as Mu Zhefeng, but his father is the Marquis of Nanxiong, and he should not be underestimated, and such an identity is enough to be Mu Zhefeng's rival.
Ming Dailing has always been obsessed with Gao Yang and Mu Zhefeng in Shaanxi, he can't believe it, and he can't control his suspicions, arresting a person, a clue, and constantly verifying.
Now back in the capital, Ming Dailing witnessed Mu Zhefeng's concern for her at the banquet, and drank on his behalf, that day in the face of Ming Dailing's questioning, she did not admit it positively, but even if Ming Dailing was stupid, the paper could not contain the fire, he would know sooner or later.
Almost everyone in the capital knows that it is impossible for Ming Dailing to deliberately pretend not to know, thinking like this, it seems that Ming Dailing is quite cruel.
Ming Dailing was known for his suspicion in the past, even if he mentioned Mu Zhefeng a hundred times, Gao Yang would not be half surprised, this time, on the contrary......
It was Mu Zhefeng who mentioned Ming Dailing, if I remember correctly, this should be the first time Mu Zhefeng officially mentioned Ming Dailing, is he jealous? Still wanting to get an answer, he wanted to know if she was dead set on Ming Dailing?
Gao Yang thought about it, her determination to Ming Dailing was an ironclad fact, whether it was necessary to explain it to Mu Zhefeng, that was another matter.
She asked lightly, "Why did you mention him all of a sudden?" β
"Suddenly? Is it surprising that I mentioned him about our current relationship? β
"What is our relationship now?" Gao Yang held his chin with his hand and stared at Mu Zhefeng with interest.
"Gao Yang, if I ask the emperor for a decree and ask him to marry us, will you agree?"
Mu Zhefeng's eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, his entanglement, hesitation, and uncontrollable thoughts, this kind of joy and pain brought by Gao Yang, he was really fed up, he admitted that he did lose, and if he loved, he loved.
What about acknowledgment?
But if you really mention getting married? Get married? She no longer deserved such a solemn and sacred word.
Now she is lovesick or not, all the joys, sorrows and sorrows have distorted the meaning with the crazy demon, and the funny wind and snow moon have become a real love marriage, she never thought about it.
"If you give marriage, of course I will marry you, and I dare not resist the decree!" Gao Yang said with a smile.
Her gentle and melodious voice, with joking words, made a cup of invisible poisonous wine out of thin air, and the wine entered Mu Zhefeng's internal organs, and the wine was cold.
Mu Zhefeng drank all the tea in his hand in one gulp, only thinking that this tea was the cup of poisonous wine given by Gao Yang, this was ...... She rejected him a few times......
