(Hero's Tomb Chapter 9) is unspeakable
"What? You said the princess offered to marry you?"
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Nangong Qiyue was still a little undecided about what Yan Lingge had said to him during the day. So in addition to being embarrassed, he went to the Anping Marquis Mansion and called Xie Yanfeng to Yingbafang, and told him about the matter, wanting to hear his opinion.
"yes. ”
In the private room, Nangong Qiyue frowned a little distressedly.
"Yanfeng, do you think I should agree?"
"Since the girls have taken the initiative, then you agreed. ”
Satisfied, he stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, and Xie Yanfeng said vaguely: "Anyway, you don't have any other favorite girls, and I see that you have similar preferences to this Princess Changping, and you can talk about it, so why don't you try it?"
"Try?"
Glancing at Xie Yanfeng, who only cared about eating, Nangong Qiyue said: "A lifelong event, how can you try?"
"Didn't the princess also say that it was improvised?"
swallowed the contents of his mouth, Xie Yanfeng said: "And, don't say it, I think, if you don't marry this princess of Changping, if the emperor doesn't give you a marriage, then you won't be able to find someone you like in the future." ”
"Why do you say that?"
Listening to Xie Yanfeng's words, Nangong Qiyue was a little puzzled.
"Look, it stands to reason that as a general who protects the country, you are a young talent, a great military achievement, and you are highly valued by the emperor, at your age, the people who come to you to say goodbye should have leveled the threshold of your general's mansion, but what is the result?"
Seeing that Nangong Qiyue was still puzzled, Xie Yanfeng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Idiot, don't you understand? It's because you usually go to military training, you are dancing with knives and guns, and in the past few years, if there is a girl from any family who is a little interesting to you, you will directly take the sword to compete with others, you say that you are like this, this lady in the capital, who wants to marry you who does not understand the amorous nerd?"
"Those girls and ladies look like they're falling when the wind blows, and I don't want to marry them. ”
poured a glass of wine and drank it all, but Nangong Qiyue was still a little aggrieved.
"If you really let me marry a weak and slender lady, then it is better to let me stay in the barracks all the time!"
"So!"
Hearing this, Xie Yanfeng hurriedly said: "That's why I said that if you miss this princess of Changping, you are afraid that you will be lonely and old in the future!"
"That should ...... Not really, right?"
The frowns became tighter and tighter, and Nangong Qiyue played with the empty wine glass in her hand.
"I haven't met her a few times, how can I get married so quickly?"
"There are still many people who only know what each other looks like at night in the cave room. ”
Slanted at Nangong Qiyue, who was still a little worried, glanced at Xie Yanfeng and said, "Then let me ask you, what is your impression of this Changping princess?"
"Not bad, isn't it? ”
Although he didn't understand why Xie Yanfeng suddenly asked this, Nangong Qiyue still replied obediently: "It's much better than those boudoir women I've seen before." ”
"Then would you mind her identity as a 'thief'?"
Carefully observing Nangong Qiyue's expression, Xie Yanfeng asked again.
"I don't mind, if I can make such a name in the rivers and lakes as a woman, I can also be called a 'strange woman'. ”
"As a princess of a country, she led the troops to the expedition and made many achievements, will you criticize her in your heart?"
Although he had already guessed Nangong Qiyue's answer in his heart, Xie Yanfeng still asked.
"No, it won't. ”
Nangong Qiyue shook her head seriously.
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'women do not let their eyebrows', and a woman like her should be admired by the world. ”
"Isn't that enough?"
After listening to Nangong Qiyue's answer, Xie Yanfeng smiled and said: "Since you don't care about her identity, and you admire her very much, and she obviously doesn't hate you, and even offered to marry you, then what are you hesitating about?"
"I ......"
Nangong Qiyue was a little stunned.
"Seemingly, there is some truth in what you said. ”
"So, do you want to enter the palace tomorrow to make peace with the emperor?"
felt that he was about to contribute to a good deed, so Xie Yanfeng couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
"I ...... I'll ask her again tomorrow. ”
After a pause, Nangong Qiyue still said: "What if she said those words because it was too hot today and her mind was not clear for a while?"
"You ......"
Looking at Nangong Qiyue with hatred of iron, Xie Yanfeng shook his head, and finally bowed his head and ate vegetables in resignation.
This Nangong Qiyue, all beauties have taken the initiative to send it to the door, why is he not enlightened?
......
"You say, the princess intends to marry Qi Yue?"
After a full meal in Yingbafang, Xie Yanfeng went home satisfied. As soon as he entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, he saw Xie Runzhu standing in the courtyard, not knowing what he was doing.
"yes. ”
Walking up to Xie Runzhu and standing side by side with him, Xie Yanfeng said with some envy: "I didn't expect that this kid Qi Yue would have such a beautiful fortune!"
"Did Qi Yue agree to the princess's proposal?"
Carefully hiding the loss in his heart, Xie Runzhu asked casually.
He was a little hesitant, but after my persuasion, he should have agreed. ”
Smirking proudly, Xie Yanfeng was happy with his wit.
"Tut, among the three of us, Qi Yue is actually the first to get married. ”
"Really?"
Reluctantly tugging at the corners of his mouth, Xie Runzhu suddenly felt empty in his heart.
At the palace banquet that day, when he first saw Yan Lingge, who was as sassy as a flame, he was attracted by the unique temperament around Yan Lingge. It was also at that moment that he, who had always felt that marriage was just "the words of his parents' orders", had the idea of taking the initiative to pursue something for the first time.
Therefore, when he heard the emperor's dictation the next day, asking him and Qi Yue and Yanfeng to accompany the princess, he was actually a little excited and looking forward to it. Although he and Princess Changping have never known each other, if he stays with the princess every day, will the princess slowly become interested in herself?
However, in the past few days, when he saw the princess competing with Qi Yue with great interest every day, when he saw that she and Qi Yue were always talking and laughing, just now, when he heard that the princess actually offered to marry Qi Yue, he actually had a trace of disgust in his heart - jealousy.
He actually ...... Because of this incident, I am jealous of my brother who has played since he was a child and is like a sibling?
The breeding of this kind of emotion instantly made Xie Runzhu start to be a little disgusted with himself, it turned out that he was actually such a narrow-minded person?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Perhaps he felt Xie Runzhu's abnormality, so Xie Yanfeng turned his head to look at the person next to him who had a faint smile on his face as usual.
"It's fine. ”
Smiling at Xie Yanfeng, Xie Runzhu said softly: "When you say this, I think it's just a little emotional, it turns out that we have all reached the age of marriage." ”
"Tsk, if it weren't for the fact that you kept refusing what your father told you, I'm afraid I would have had a sister-in-law a long time ago. ”
Looking at Xie Runzhu teasingly, Xie Yanfeng put his arm on Xie Runzhu's shoulder.
"Brother, you have listened to your father since you were a child, why do you have to do it with your father here......? Do you have a sweetheart?"
"What nonsense!"
Because of Xie Yanfeng's words, Xie Runzhu couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Isn't it because my father is old and you don't have a unit, so you have to rely on me to take care of everything in this house?"
"Che, blame me again?"
Sneered dissatisfied, Xie Yanfeng said again: "But think about it, if the princess really marries Qi Yue, then we will be four of us drinking and having fun together in the future, it seems to be not bad!"
"Hehe, Qi Yue already has a heavy position, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't be idle here, and after marrying a wife, he is also the head of the family after all, so he can't mess around with you. ”
Looking up at the clear night sky, Xie Runzhu tried to make his tone as light as ever.
"Hmph, it's because Qi Yue is used to being idle, but you rely on me instead!"
With a light punch on Xie Runzhu's shoulder, Xie Yanfeng turned around and asked, "Brother, what kind of woman do you like? Is it like Li Shangshu's daughter who can dance and write? Or is she as good as Zhang Yushi's daughter? Or, like Princess Changping, she is as heroic and not inferior to a man?"
"What are you asking for?"
Glancing at Xie Yanfeng quietly, Xie Runzhu said.
"Qi Yue is a nerd, and you are also a nerd. He stayed, probably because he didn't read much, and since he was a child, he followed the relationship between the old general of Nangong dancing knives and guns, and the whole person was completely incomprehensible. But brother, it stands to reason that you shouldn't stay like this!"
Ignoring Xie Runzhu's gradually changing face, Xie Yanfeng continued: "Look at you, you have been gentle and knowledgeable since you were a child, and now you are even more suave and talented, but why are you just like Qi Yue, don't open your mind?"
“......”
silently gave Xie Yanfeng a big white eye, Xie Runzhu chose to keep silent.
But why was he attracted to Princess Changping when he saw her for the first time?
Xie Runzhu has always felt that love at first sight will not happen to him. But what about now?
"Well, that's it. ”
Seeing that Xie Runzhu had not spoken, Xie Yanfeng thought that he was too lazy to pay attention to himself. So after sighing, Xie Yanfeng stretched his waist.
"What's going on today? first analyzed Qi Yue's feelings, and then came back and told you so much, alas, I'm tired of talking so much to you two nerds!"
"When you're tired, go back and rest. ”
After absent-mindedly replying to Xie Yanfeng, Xie Runzhu continued to stand in the courtyard, looking at the night sky thoughtfully.
And when Xie Yanfeng saw him like this, he had no choice but to wave his sleeves, and then shook his head and walked towards his yard.
