Chapter 17: The Longest Night
The three princes competed with Mobei in their own mansions, and the martial arts were second only to the first four princes in Sifang City, and it didn't take long for Mobei to be defeated.
"Mobei, I think, it's the prince who protects you, right?" The three princes made no secret of their pride.
"Master, Mobei is incompetent!"
"It's not bad, to be able to compete with this prince for so long!"
"Thank you for your praise!"
"Get up!"
"Thank you, master!" Mo Bei sighed very much, his martial arts are indeed inferior to the three princes, and what he said is not wrong.
"Hmm," the third prince paused, "you accompany me to the library today." ”
"Is there something wrong with the master?" Mobei was very curious.
"Well, there's something going on, and I'd like to go to the library and see if I can find some clues."
"Yes!"
"The third prince, the seventh princess is here!" A guard came to report.
"Let her in!" The third prince frowned, but still agreed.
"Yes!"
"Master, what are the seven princesses doing?" Mobei was very curious.
"Won't she come if she's fine?"
"Mobei said the wrong thing!" Mobei was so frightened that he quickly knelt down
"Humph!"
"Third brother!" Before anyone came in, the voice had already arrived.
"Third brother, Qikang is wronged!" As soon as the seventh princess came, she took the arm of the third prince and began to cry.
"Tell me, who made my baby sister unhappy!"
"It's not that Murong Yunyi yet!"
"Oh?"
"Third brother, why don't you say that my father doesn't support me and Murong Yunyi together?!" The seventh princess looked aggrieved.
"Does Murong Yunyi like you?" The third prince asked.
"Third brother, but, can't I move him if I'm so good to him? I really can't figure out if Murong Yunyi is stupid, I like him so much, everyone in the Sifang City knows it! ”
"He's not stupid, he just doesn't like you!" The third prince's tone was flat.
"Third brother, why do you say that, you should help me take him back. Shi, that Shi Wanyue woman, what's so good, it's just the daughter of a little retainer, in terms of character and appearance, knowledge or something, I'm not worse than her at all, I really don't know what Murong Yunyi's head is thinking! The more the seventh princess spoke, the more angry she became.
"She is indeed inferior to you in all aspects, but Murong Yunyi likes her, not you!"
"Third brother, how can you help outsiders speak. Now that my father's will has been made, what else can I do? But Murong Yunyi, I really like him, I don't want to give up like this, third brother, you can help me! The Seventh Princess finally looked at the Third Prince with pleading eyes.
"This is my father's will, how can I change it!"
"If I can't get Murong Yunyi, I'll ......"
"What do you want to do?" The third prince interrupted her.
"No, I didn't think about anything, I just didn't want to be reconciled!" The seventh princess is also more aggrieved, she rarely likes a person, but as a result, people have their own favorite people, and they work so hard to fight, but others are unmoved, and finally directly ask for marriage, so what is their own pay, and what is it, the more I think about it, the more angry I am, the more I feel wronged. Since I was a child, no one has ever let myself be so wronged, and I came to find my favorite third brother, but I didn't expect the third brother to help me get angry, and my father, who had always loved him, didn't help me speak.
"We also have a lot of excellent men in our Dragon Clan, and they will not be worse than Murong Yunyi."
"I really like Murong Yunyi!"
"He doesn't like you, and it's useless. Qikang, this man is, whoever he likes will be good to whom, unlike a woman, who is good to her, she will like whom! ”
"I don't understand, but I'm also very good to him, don't you think he's not the slightest bit moved?"
"Impressed? When he doesn't like you, no matter how much you do, it's useless! ”
"Third brother, do you have someone you like, can you understand my feelings?"
"I understand your feelings." The third prince replied, while thinking, do you have someone you like, the third prince has seen countless women, and there are countless women who fall in love with him, but none of them have been able to get into his eyes, is his own requirements too high, it shouldn't be. Suddenly, a woman's face appeared in front of him, Murong Yunyan, why did he think of her when Qikang asked him this question? It's a member of the Murong family again, the man of the Murong family let the invincible princess be taught a lesson by her father, and the women of the Murong family will also start to melt this cold third prince? Murong family, what kind of existence is it?
"yes, then tell me what you would do if you were me?" The seventh princess felt very sad in her heart.
"I, since I know that he has a sweetheart, don't wade into this troubled water again!"
"But third brother, you haven't fought for it, how can you do it?"
"Qikang, sometimes, it's not a matter of whether you fight or not!"
"What's the problem then?" The Seventh Princess looked confused.
"It depends on whether that person is worth it!"
"In my eyes, Murong Yunyi is worth fighting for, even if it is a little difficult now, I am not afraid, I just want to get him!"
"Qikang, at least he has to be interested in you to be worth your effort!"
"I don't care, I don't want to hear it, you oppose it, my father opposes it, no one supports me!"
"This kind of thing is related to the happiness of your life, how can you be so rash!"
"Third brother!"
"Qikang, my father and brother are all good for you!"
"I know, but I just like him! Well, it's not getting early, and I should go back too! ”
"Hmm!"
"Third brother, I really like him!" The Seventh Princess was still muttering when she left.
"Mobei, send the princess back!"
"Yes!"
Sending off the princess, the third prince returned to his study, wrote the word Yun Yan with a pen, and Yun Yan's face kept coming to mind, this feeling of being so familiar and relieved when they met for the first time was too similar to more than ten years ago. There was another thing that puzzled him was what happened in the Dragon Domain a few days ago, why she was able to hear her own voice and feel it so accurately. The Murong retainer is an ordinary person, who, like other retainers, guards the peace of the Holy City of the Four Directions; But the retainers are not ordinary, although they later invited the dragon clan as helpers, but they have indeed been guarding under the leadership of the four retainers for decades to deal with the evil dragon, and their strength, ability, intelligence, and unity in all aspects are not worse than the dragon clan.
Recalling the things that had asked Mobei to investigate before, one thing he was more concerned about was that Yun Yan was not born and raised in Murong Mansion before, but grew up in the outer regions. The outer territory is very big, where is she exactly, Mobei can't find out, who is followed, Mobei can't find out, what can be known is what happened after returning to Murong Mansion. Originally, he wanted to blame Mobei, but if he thought about it carefully, Mobei was still very serious and reliable, since he couldn't find out, then the problem must be in the Murong family, could it be that there are any secrets of the Murong family that outsiders don't know?
After a long night, the third prince thought a lot, and when he came back to his senses, it was already the time of the next day, and at this time he remembered something, which he had taken from his friend before, and it was still glowing with blue light, and the nine hearts were turning in circles under the gentle movement, what was this, the third prince didn't know. It's been a night, and I'm a little tired, so I cleaned up briefly and went back to my room to rest under Mobei's care.
Murong Mansion has been more lively recently, mainly because of Murong Yunyi's wedding, and a good and auspicious day has been chosen, just next month, there are almost twenty days to prepare, Murong Mansion has begun to decorate the mansion and renovate the garden, and it is also very busy every day. Yun Yan was not in the palace these days, and was summoned by the emperor to serve in the palace. The queen has no children under her knees, but I heard that there was an accident during a pregnancy that caused a miscarriage of the child. Originally, I was thinking of having another child with the Dragon Emperor, but because of the child's early death, the emperor was exhausted, depressed, and her health was not as good as before, so she didn't think about having a child anymore.
But the emperor was also very good to the children of the other concubines, treating them like her own. In the days of Yun Yan's company, the emperor and queen also showed a rare smile, and the whole person's complexion was much better, and she also learned some dim sum making and the like with Yun Yan, of course, this was also taught to her by her mother.
"Mother, this emperor and queen are also very interested in Murong Yunyan!" The second prince watched from afar
"What's the matter, if she has children or not, she won't accept it as a goddaughter!"
"It's also said that the dragon clan has rules, and the adoption must be a dragon clan!"
"The current form is a little bad for us!" Concubine Shu said with emotion.
"Indeed, Mother Concubine, I think if you don't take some measures, this Murong family?" The second prince was very worried about the development of the situation in the future.
"It's okay, someone is already worried about us!"
"What does the mother mean?"
"Don't forget, there's also a crown princess!"
"What is she doing?" The second prince didn't understand.
"She didn't do it, she just instigated the princess, and wanted the princess to give this Murong Yunyi a glass of loveless wine!"
"No, this, how could Qikang be so confused!" The second prince began to worry.
"Don't worry, I have inquired privately, there is no poison in this wine, and the princess is also gambling, wanting Yun Yi to change her mind!"
"Having said that, what if Murong Yunyi is really determined not to look back?"
"It's okay, it's really that time, you can make a move! By the way, there is such a kindness in the Murong family! ”
"The mother is really thoughtful."
"So you're a little more concerned these days!"
"Yes!"
Today is the day when Yun Yan leaves, after bidding farewell to the emperor and queen, she and her brother hurried on the way back to the house to prepare to leave, but they didn't go far before they were stopped by the people of the seventh princess.
"Wait!" This is the voice of the princess.
"Your Highness the Princess!" The two men hurriedly dismounted and said goodbye.
"Murong Yunyi, you have failed me, this princess is very sad..."The princess paused.
"Princess..."
"But, after all, I'm a princess, so I don't have to worry too much about you, and for the sake of you being about to get married, you don't need to invite me to be there, so as not to be embarrassed. As for this princess, I would like to toast you with a glass of wine, so it should be a blessing! "What the Seventh Princess said was very casual.
"Thank you, princess!" Yun Yi was surprised, but she didn't think too much about it.
"Bring the wine!"
"Yes!"
"Murong Yunyi, please, after drinking this glass of wine, you and I will write off the past, and we don't owe each other!"
"Princess generosity!" Yun Yi drank it all after speaking, without a trace of hesitation.
"Let's go!" Seeing Murong Yunyi drink, the princess turned around and left, and no one noticed a sly smile on the corner of the princess's mouth.
