Chapter 8: Rejecting the Seventh Princess's Affection
At the moment when the Dragon Emperor announced the result, everyone inside and outside the arena quieted down, which can be said to be deathly quiet, because this result surprised everyone. In full view of everyone, Murong Yunyi retreated with the last move, and it stands to reason that he lost, but the Dragon Emperor announced that he had won, and everyone didn't know what to do, so they could only watch the Dragon Emperor quietly, waiting for his explanation.
"As the highest-level chess skill of my Quartet Holy City, Long Yi is not blindly moving forward to win, sometimes taking a step back is also a vast sky!" After saying that, he turned around and left. There are not many people who understand this sentence, but at least the previous ones already know that Murong Yunyi won the first place in the selection of Sifang City!
Soon, the entire crowd began to cheer and scream one after another, and Murong Yunyi, who was the focus of this competition, was also thrown into the air again and again by the enthusiastic crowd. After these, it was the usual commendation, of course, this time because of his outstanding performance, he was directly awarded an official position, becoming the deputy commander of the forbidden army guarding the Holy City, and went straight to the clouds.
When everything is over, as the best person elected every five years, there is a chance to dine with the Long family and enjoy a family banquet. After some politeness, everyone took their seats in order, the Dragon Emperor admired this young man who came out of many outstanding people, first of all, he praised Murong Mansion, of course, the old general Murong was naturally smiling, and Murong Yunyi, as his son, was also happy.
"As the head of the Murong family, the children cultivated now can also be on their own, General Murong has a heart over the years!" The Dragon Emperor was still very sure of General Murong.
"Don't you dare, your words frightened the old minister!" Murong Qing hurriedly knelt down.
"No need to be polite, take a seat!"
"Yes!"
"How old is Murong Yunyi this year?"
"Back to the Dragon Emperor, Yun Yi is twenty and five this year."
"Can I start a family?"
"Not yet married"
"There may be a marriage contract"
Murong Yunyi shook his head.
"However, the Dragon Emperor is above, and Murong Yunyi already has a beloved!"
"Oh, that's good, too!"
"Emperor Xie Long's praise!" Yun Yi is very modest.
The meal was over quickly, and the family feast could be said to be a man's occasion, without any female dependents present.
"Emperor, this Murong Yunyi won the victory in this year's election, which is also a great joy for the Holy City of the Four Directions!" It was Concubine Shu who spoke.
"General Murong has taught his son well, and cultivating talents for my Quartet Holy City is also gratifying!"
"It's just that I don't know why, such a happy thing can only be celebrated by men together, but we can't!"
"After all, this is choosing excellent men for the Holy City, we are just women, and it is not appropriate to participate." Concubine Xi said.
"It's true, but seeing so many outstanding talents win this year is also the glory of our holy city!" Concubine Jing said with emotion.
"Yes, our Holy City has produced many talents in recent years, and it is also a blessing for our Holy City!"
"I heard that this Murong Yunyan hasn't married yet, I don't know which woman has such a blessing!"
"This matter of men and women is what you and I want, then he Murong Yunyi likes it, and others are willing to do it!"
"Yes, I'm curious to see which woman he will marry!"
"It is estimated that now, the women of the Quartet Holy City must love him!"
"It's just a small retainer, it's a cut below our prince! Right, Concubine Jing? ”
"Each has its own strengths!"
"The third prince and the fourth prince are also very good, and the third prince has reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage, Concubine Jing, you have to pay more attention!"
"As a mother, how can you not worry about it, the key is that the child likes it!"
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
After the banquet was dispersed, General Murong and his son left together. As soon as he walked out of the royal palace gate, he was stopped.
"May I ask if it's General Murong?"
"It's old decay!"
"Then this must be Murong Gongzi, right?"
"I am!"
This is the dress of a high-ranking palace maid, and it seems that she should serve the concubine or princess in the palace.
"I am the maid of the Seventh Princess, Lin Lin, the Seventh Princess has invited Prince Murong to ask for advice, and I hope that General Murong will agree!"
"Father?"
"General Murong, please allow me, the princess just wants to meet with Murong Gongzi to discuss some matters, and it won't be delayed for too long." Lin Lin's words were very sincere.
"Since the princess is invited, then the father will leave first, and you will go back early!" Murong Qing is still an understanding person, because he still heard something about the competition in the past few days. But he also believes that his son can handle the affairs of men and women.
"Yes, Father!"
"Congratulations to General Murong. Childe please! ”
"Hmm!"
The two of them went one after the other, and soon arrived at the back garden where the seventh princess was. Because the royal family's control of the four ministers is not very strict, as long as it is the summons of the dragon family, the retainers of the four parties can enter, and they need to report in detail afterwards.
"Murong Yunyi has seen the Seventh Princess!"
"Hurry up, don't have so many courtesies!" What can't be hidden in the words is excitement.
"I don't know what the princess summoned Weichen?"
"Naturally, there is something, you guys retreat first!"
"Yes, princess!"
"Sit down!"
"No, I'm a courtier, how dare I sit with the princess!" Murong Yunyi directly refused.
"I let you sit, do you still want to resist my orders?"
"No, you must not break the rules!"
"You!" The seventh princess didn't know what to say all of a sudden, "What rules, there is no one else here, and besides, this is an order, do you want to resist?" ”
"I'm a retainer, so naturally I won't resist, but the rules are that the rules can't be messed up!"
"You, there are no kings and ministers here, I am a friend, there are no rules!"
"This ......"
"Sit down!"
"Yes!"
"That's pretty much it!"
"Come, try this, I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare it!"
"Yes!" While speaking, Murong Yunyi reluctantly tasted it, because he was helpless in the face of this spoiled princess.
"How's it going, is it delicious?"
"Thank you princess for your hospitality, it's delicious!"
"Since it's delicious, then you should eat more"
"Yes!"
"That's good, too!"
"I wonder what the princess summoned her courtiers?"
"It's okay, it's just that this princess admires you very much, and she said that she would be friends and want to have a meal with you, can't you?"
"Thank you, princess!"
"Are you married?"
"Nope!"
"Neither do I!"
"Of course I do!" , Yun Yi said this in his heart, but he didn't say it.
"So, what do you think of me?" As she spoke, the princess moved closer in Yun Yi's direction.
"The princess is graceful and luxurious, fresh and refined, and it is the glory of the Holy City of the Quartet!"
"Do you like me, then?" The princess asked cautiously
"Princess" Yun Yi left her seat and knelt down, "The minister only admires and respects the princess, and he doesn't think anything wrong!" ”
"What, you don't like me?"
"You are a princess on the high ground, I am just the son of a retainer, and guarding the Holy City of the Four Directions is the first priority of my retainers!" Yun Yi said righteously.
"What a retainer, princess, now it's you and me!"
"You're a princess!"
"You don't care about this for now, this princess fell in love with you as a mortal at first sight, and I want to know now, do you like me?" The princess is very direct.
Now Yun Yi understood, "Princess, I respect you, and I have no personal feelings for children!" ”
"You!"
"Thank you for the princess's kindness to Weichen!"
"You mean to reject the kindness of this princess?"
"Yes, I don't have any personal feelings for you, just respect!"
"You," angered the princess at once, "haven't you rejected me yet!! ”
"Princess, please forgive me, Weichen already has a sweetheart, and it is impossible to like others anymore!"
"You, get out!" The seventh princess became popular at once.
"Farewell!" After saluting, Yun Yi left directly.
The seventh princess, who was left alone, was even more angry, and angrily overturned the table directly, and the maids who heard the sound were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they all knelt down in unison, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of offending the princess and causing death.
In the palace of the Three Princes
"Master, are you still not resting?"
"Look at this, is it different from before?"
"It seems to be a little different, it's almost the same, how did the master take it out?"
"I don't know, I just want to take it out all of a sudden. But I found that it was a little different from before."
"Forgive the villain's clumsiness, I really don't think there's anything!"
"It's brighter than the original color, as if it has been reborn, and it's even more beautiful!"
"In the end, it's the master, you can know this. By the way, master, the person who asked the inquiry before finally has a result! ”
"yes, let's hear it!"
"Yes. She turned out to be the daughter of the Murong family, just because Mrs. Murong happened to be outside the Saiwai when she gave birth to this child, so basically no one knew about her existence for safety. Three years ago, General Murong brought it back with his classmates when he returned to the dynasty. ”
"So that's the case, no wonder no one knows."
"Yes!"
"Murong Yunyan, is Yunyi her brother?" The third prince said.
"Yes!"
"What else?"
"The villain also found out that the maid next to her is called Xiaoying!" Mobei was a little cautious.
"What do you say? How is this possible? The third prince felt nervous in his heart, and he couldn't believe it.
"It's really called Xiaoying, but her temperament is not the same as before."
"Really?"
"Well, the villain also came into contact with her, and there was no familiar feeling, and I also tried it, she didn't understand what I said, and her reaction didn't seem like pretending!"
"yes, what about Yunyan?"
"I didn't hear a lot, but not long after I returned to the mansion, the general's wife loved her very much, especially Yun Yi loved this sister very much, and she was almost a little doting!"
"Really? This Yun Yi loves her sister, it should be normal, right?! ”
"That's what I said, I went to inquire later, it seems that because my sister was injured, maybe my brother blames himself more, so he will love it very much!"
"Well, that's right." He remembered his sister, the half-princess Seven, although he was sometimes indifferent, but he still loved his sister very much.
"There's nothing else, that's all I heard."
"Well, thank you! It's not too early, so go back and rest! ”
"Well, then the master can get ready for bed."
"Hmm!"
