Chapter 37: The Cold War?
Vertical day
The Hall of Inheritance
"Yanrong, come, come, sit." The emperor did not have a serious face like before, but gave a seat to Yan with a gentle face.
"Your Majesty, what's the important matter of summoning your ministers?" Yan Rong sat down uncomfortably and asked.
"It's nothing, I just want to be at home with you, care about your life." The emperor said with a smile.
"I'm fine," Yan Rong said, thinking that something big had happened in the frontier!
"That's good, I still felt wronged by you at the beginning, marrying my unfortunate son, if your husband and wife are harmonious, I will naturally rest assured. The eldest princess wrote several times to inquire about the situation, and I came to inquire for her. The emperor finally said the purpose.
"Eldest princess?" Yan Rong asked.
"Yes, you are young and I don't know, my imperial sister has lived in the Crane Pavilion Temple for a long time after the death of the horse, and has not been out for a long time, among these sons of mine, the eldest sister's favorite is Li'er, this wedding is a little hurried, and the eldest sister is not very willing to participate in mundane things, this is not many times to write to me, asking about the situation of the two of you.
"It's Yan Rong's negligence, I knew that I should have visited the eldest princess." Yan Rong hurriedly said when he heard this.
"It's okay, she doesn't like to be too busy, so she asked to move out of the palace at that time, and I agreed."
"If I have time, Yan Rong will definitely go to visit the eldest princess."
"Yes, a good boy." The emperor said with a smile.
"However, didn't Li Er tell you about this?" The emperor asked again.
"No, maybe he forgot!" Yan Rong said embarrassedly.
"This kid is really muddy, and the eldest sister is still so worried." The emperor said.
"Prince Rong probably brought this thought into his heart, since the eldest princess believes, then what she pays attention to is the nature of Taoism, I believe that she will feel the sincerity of the prince."
"Li'er is blessed to have your wife by his side."
"No, no, no, the prince is a dragon and phoenix among people, and in the eyes of Yan Rong, he is a blessing for the minister."
"Good!"
Rongwang's Mansion
"Bai Ling, you go to the military advisor and tell him to call a few brothers to follow me to the terracotta market this afternoon." After Yan Rong returned to the mansion, he called Bai Ling and said.
"Yes, General." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he went out.
Yan Rong saw Nangong Li standing in the yard feeding the fish, and glanced over this side several times, but Yan Rong didn't think about talking and nodded directly and entered the house.
In vain, Nangong Li stood there alone in a daze.
"This king is so big that a living person doesn't see it?" Nangong Li asked the maid next to him.
"Lord Wang, the general may be busy."
"Humph!" Nangong Li threw all the bait in his hand into the pool.
"It's time for dinner, why can't Yan Rong come over to eat?" Nangong Li sat at the dinner table and asked.
"Lord Wang, the general's food has been ordered to be sent to the room, and the general said don't worry about her."
"This king didn't say anything about the Cold War, but she started it first?" Nangong Li said angrily.
"This...."Only a group of maids were left looking at each other.
afternoon
"What about the cold war between the general and the prince?"
"When will the general and the prince get better?"
"Didn't you see that the temper of the prince came up immediately when he was eating today, isn't it because the general is not around!"
"No, hasn't the prince always hated generals? Besides, from the wedding day to this day, the prince has not gone to the general's room to spend the night, and he is still in the study! ”
"Really? The general is still ......"
"Ahem, cough, why are you all chatting around here and not going to work? Beware of rotting your mouths! Mama Li said suddenly behind them.
"Mama Li, the slaves and maids know, the slaves and maids will go." Those maids were terrified.
"Let me tell you, the biggest taboo for us to be slaves is to chew the root of our tongues, and the things of the masters, let's just listen, don't think about it, and don't think about it." Mama Li said.
"Yes, what Mama said is, we won't do it again."
"Mama, why doesn't our prince take a concubine? Or a partial room! The maids were gone, but one of them went back the way he came, and asked Mama.
"Bastard, didn't you hear what you just said? Don't inquire about the master's affairs, I don't think you should think about it anymore. Mama scolded.
"Mama, we can all see these days, the prince doesn't like the general at all, why are you blocking it, is the prince's good years wasted on the general?" The maid said.
"Where are you from? If you dare to talk nonsense again, go back to your place! ”
"Mama."
"Shut up, although I am a slave, I still have the right to take away a maid."
"Yes, Mama, the slave knows her mistake."
"What's your name?" Mama asked.
"Liu'er." Liu Er replied.
"Remember my words in the future, if you dare not listen, don't blame Mama for being ruthless."
"Yes." Liu Er knelt on the gravel road for a long time before getting up.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Yan Rong came out of the house, he saw Mama Li behind the rockery reprimanding Liu'er.
"The general is fine, it's just that the little maid made a mistake and the old slave taught me a few words." Mama Li said.
"Mama, if it's not a big mistake, don't be punished like that, this little girl looks at her body so weak, don't hurt her body again, you go, don't make mistakes in the future." Yan Rong said to Liu Er again.
"General Xie, General Xie!" After Liu Er finished speaking, she ran away crying.
"The general is so kind-hearted, he doesn't have the same knowledge as these maids, but you are the mother of this family, and some things have to be severely punished." Mama Li said.
"How can I care about these things, I just can't see a beautiful girl shed tears." Yan Rong said with a smile.
"The general is not serious again!" Mama Li said angrily.
"Okay, Mama, I'll go out first, I'll eat out for dinner, don't wait for me."
"If the general has something to do, go early, and I will tell the prince."
"You don't have to tell him, just tell the cook, you don't have to cook General Ben's food." Yan Rong said as he went to pull the pear flower.
"Okay, General, slow down!" Mama Li looked at Yan Rong's back galloping out on a horse, and shook her head helplessly.
"Mama, have you seen your face?" Nangong Li sat on a chair and ate grapes and said. ”
"The general has something to go out, and the prince wants to find the general?"
"This king doesn't want to!" After Nangong Li finished speaking, he took out the soft sword from the crack in the wall. ”
"Huh? Isn't this a general's sword? How is it in the hands of the prince. Mama Li asked suspiciously.
"She put it with me, and I'll give it to her when I get back." Nangong Li stroked the hilt of the sword and said.
"Lord Wang, the old slave is a person from the past, to be honest, did you have an awkward relationship with the general?"
"This king and her are not having a good time!" Nangong Li said angrily.
"Lord Wang, it's normal for this husband and wife to quarrel, you and the general have been seeing it in the eyes of the old slave for the past few days, and the general will go to the shop to buy you snacks so late, which means that in the general's heart, your status is very important." Mama Li said earnestly.
"Mama, you don't know the situation, you don't know how many people laugh at me in front of outsiders because of my face." Nangong Li said.
"Lord Wang." Mama couldn't bear to shout.
"No one liked me when I was in the palace, even the maids in the other palace looked down on me, because I was not favored, so I was fed up with white eyes, and now I finally got out of the palace, but I just had such a wife, outsiders spoke coldly, all ridiculed, but my face still pushed me to the cusp of everyone's laughter."
"Lord Wang, your troubled general will understand!" Mama Li didn't know how to persuade her.
"Needless to say, I have my own plans for the next road!" Nangong Li put the sword back in its place and said.
bazaar
"General, you see that these horses are all excellent goods, specially trained, and there is no problem in traveling thousands of miles a day." White Tiger said on the side.
"Well, that's good." Yan Rong looked and nodded as he walked.
The second time was that Yan Rong was picking up horses in the largest bazaar in the capital, in order to escort Song Lian to Mengyang Country next.
"As long as the horse is fast and steady, give one to each brother who goes to escort it." Yan Rong said.
"Yes, General." The white tiger walked over to discuss the price with the merchant.
This is Yan Rong found a black horse, among the many strong horses, this one looks extremely thin, but Yan Rong found that the horse's eyes are watching him tightly, and his eyes are extremely clear.
"Merchant, come here." Yan Rong greeted.
"General, what do you command?"
"What's wrong with this horse, why is it different from the others?" Yan Rong touched the horse's nose and asked.
"This horse is a poor breed, just born the old horse died, this is not without breast milk is extremely weak, in every way it is much worse than other horses, but it is not always at home, just take it here, just be a foil."
"But General Ben doesn't look like an ordinary horse in this breed!" Yan Rong asked.
"The general has good eyesight, this horse has pure blood, if it weren't for this accident, he must be an extremely good horse, at least compared to all the horses here." The merchant said with a sigh.
"General, this dark horse is sick at first sight, let's go look elsewhere!"
"Okay." Yan Rong withdrew his palm, and when he turned to leave, he heard the horse bark.
"This pony is quite smart, and knows that he has met a nobleman." White Tiger said on the side.
"This horse hasn't barked in a long time, I thought it was a mute horse!" The merchant said excitedly.
"Really?" At this time, the horse bit the placket of Yan Rong's clothes with his mouth and pulled it a few times.
"It seems that this horse has a fate with the general!" The merchant said.
"How much silver is this horse? I want it. Yan Rong looked at the horse's eyes and kept staring, and from time to time rubbed his head against Yan Rong's clothes, and asked the merchant.
"Oh, general, this horse is useless, what are you buying it for?" White Tiger asked.
"I believe that it is a horse that can gallop on the grassland, not a sick horse waiting to die here, as long as it does not give up, General Ben will naturally have a way to train it to be a second pear blossom." Yan Rong said.
"Since the general likes it, then this horse will be given to the general, I hope the general can really change it into a different horse, so as not to waste its bloodline." The merchant said.
"Okay." Yan Rong said lightly patting the horse's cheek with his hand.
