CHAPTER IX

"Have you seen that?" Jiang Zikai looked at her and asked again.

"Yes." Princess Nanxiang replied.

"Then why do you want to go?"

Park Mingshu thought for a while and said, "Homesick." ”

Jiang Zikai sneered and said, "Where did you come from in the capital?" ”

Princess Nanxiang was speechless.

Jiang Zikai looked at him for a long time and asked: "The former Japanese Hou fell into the snow valley and fell into the trap, but you were saved?" ”

"I," Princess Nanxiang was shocked, and then looked at Jiang Zikai, but saw that he was staring at herself, so she had to lower her head and answer: "It's me." ”

"Then why did you leave your job behind?" Jiang Zikai then asked again.

"I didn't, I just," Ms. Park tried to explain, but she didn't say anything.

She thought: Well, since there is a girl as good as Xiaoyan to take care of him, what am I going to do here? Annoying in vain.

At this time, Jiang Rong interjected: "My little brother, it turns out that what you said is true, you really saved Master Hou before you met the wolves that day!" ”

Mingshu wanted to stop him from talking any more, but Jiang Zikai spoke again and asked, "What wolves?" ”

Jiang Rong replied: "Oh, that's the case, Master Hou, the day before yesterday, Mingshu heard that you were gone, so he ran out to look for you, but he didn't come back at night, so the last general led his troops to look for you." ”

"When I found Mingshu, he was besieged by a pack of wolves, and the last general and others shot arrows to save him, and when he wanted to take him back to the camp, he said that he had found you, but the wolves came, and he hid you next to a snowdrift in the snow valley in order to lure the wolves away."

"We followed him back to the valley, but we found nothing. I just thought you woke up on your own and came back. Then he went back to the camp. ”

When Jiang Zikai heard this, he instantly understood all the processes of the matter. It turned out that Mingshu really saved him, and it turned out that everything he encountered was not a dream.

He couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, his eyes were flushed, and he asked tenderly: "Is it worth it to endure so much hardship for me?" ”

Mingshu looked at him and said firmly, "It's worth it." ”

Jiang Zikai knelt down abruptly and bowed: "Jiang Zikai thanks Princess Nanxiang for saving her life, Zikai will live up to the princess in this life." ”

Princess Nanxiang's tears flowed down in an instant. At this moment, she finally came to the bitter end, and cried with joy.

Everyone was quite shocked when they heard Jiang Houye's words, looked at Jiang Zikai who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the tearful Ming Shu, and it took a long time to react. Then they all knelt down and bowed.

Besides, after Shangguan Beitang dealt with the matter of Cangzhou's grain and grass, he had been idle at home for several months with nothing to do.

These days are just to go out with friends in Beijing and enjoy the spring.

Before the beginning of spring, Mu Nanfeng made an appointment with friends in the rivers and lakes to go to Shaoxing, and brought back a few jars of good wine.

Shangguan Beitang drank and had fun with him all day long, enjoying the spring light. It's uncomfortable.

One day the spring was bright and the breeze was rippling, and someone from the palace invited Shangguan Beitang to enter the palace, saying that it was summoned by the emperor.

Shangguan Beitang entered the palace and met the emperor: "Minister, see the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Dugu Yanxiang looked at him with a tender face, put down the fold in his hand and said, "You're here. North Hall. Let's go, I'll take you to a good place. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said to Ning Chun'an's envoy on the side, "Prepare the carriage and horses." ”

Ning Chunan naturally understood and replied, "Yes." ”

Dugu Yanxiang walked up to Shangguan Beitang and said happily: "Guess where I want to take you?" ”

"I don't know." Shangguan Beitang shook his head and said.

"Put this on." Dugu Yanxiang handed over a juan pa to Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang looked at him with some doubts. Dugu Yanxiang didn't explain, took Juan Pa and put it on Shangguan Beitang's eyes.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do here?" Shangguan Beitang reached out and wanted to take off Juanpa.

"Don't take it off, just follow me." Dugu Yanxiang pretended to be a little angry and knocked off the hand he was about to stretch out.

In this way, Shangguan Beitang couldn't say anything, so he had to be at the mercy of Dugu Yanxiang.

Then Dugu Yanxiang pulled him up and walked out of the hall. He tugged at his sleeve carefully, listening to him whisper, "Slow down, watch the steps." ”

After walking about five hundred steps, Dugu Yanxiang helped him into a carriage.

The carriage drove all the way, and Shangguan Beitang heard the car drive out of the palace, and he didn't know how long he had been walking.

I only listened to the coachman outside, "Phew!" "A bang. The carriage stopped. Dugu Yanxiang said to him: "It's here, get out of the car and take a look!" ”

Shangguan Beitang took off the silk handkerchief and jumped out of the car.

In an instant, he was stunned by what he saw. This is a large-scale compound that has just been renovated. The repair of the house is as meticulous as that of a royal palace.

There is a black gold silk plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances and reads: "Pity the Courtyard". The outside of the courtyard is also surrounded by pink walls, and green willows hang around.

The patterns on the stone pillars on both sides of the gate are also carefully carved. The two stone lions standing on the left and right are majestic and majestic, and they are alive and well.

"What is this?" Shangguan Beitang asked with some puzzlement.

Dugu Yan Xiang said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

Shangguan Beitang stepped forward and pushed open the vermilion lacquer door. In an instant, he was fascinated by the scene inside the courtyard.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, a blue and black brick road leads to the hall. Surrounded by beautiful wood and onion cages, strange flowers are splendid. A babbling stream flows through the rockery to the backyard.

Shangguan Beitang looked at all this in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "In this capital, when has there been such a splendid courtyard. I didn't know it. ”

Dugu Yanxiang didn't answer, just smiled.

The two then walked inside, and when they arrived at an attic, Dugu Yanxiang said, "Go in and have a look!" ”

Shangguan Beitang pushed the door in, and was once again stunned: the furnishings in this house were exactly the same as the room when he was a child.

A faint scent of sandalwood fills the surroundings, and the fine wooden tables and chairs are finely carved with all kinds of patterns. Specks of sunlight shine in the hollowed-out carved windows.

In the middle of the room is a patterned marble table with a few pieces of rice paper and pen and ink.

Further to the right, a pale pink curtain comes into view, with tassels on top of it, gently swaying in the breeze. Underneath is a soft and comfortable bed.

Diagonally opposite the bed is a dressing table inlaid with tortoiseshell shells.

Shangguan Beitang stepped forward and opened the window to see that there was a whole field of hibiscus in the pond in the back garden.

Dugu Yanxiang came to his side and said softly: "I know that you love hibiscus flowers, these are specially cultivated for you. ”

"Your Majesty," Shangguan Beitang couldn't say a word anymore. After all these years, he is not ruthless to Dugu Yanxiang.

It's just that because of her identity, how can she treat him with sincerity.

And now, Dugu Yanxiang has broken all her defenses and scruples. He didn't care about anything for himself and built a private mansion for her. She cultivated a garden of hibiscus. Blatantly brought her here.

He was obviously preparing to compete with the etiquette and Confucianism of this world.

And what about her, she is not a sage, how can she be a heartless person, and she has no mercy for him!

He'd already taken a lot of steps, and now all she needed was a small step.

Dugu Yanxiang said again: "Beishang, do you understand my heart?" ”

Shangguan Beitang stared at him and said, "The emperor is sincere to Beitang, how can Beitang not know that Beitang is also a person of flesh and blood." It's just,"

"I don't want to hear it, I just want to know if your sincerity is the same as mine?" Dugu Yan Xiang also stared at her for a long time and said.

Shangguan Beitang's heart was surging: Yes, I was born as a human being, but I was bound by the rules of this world, and I can't love what I love. What's the use?

Life is short for decades, do I have to live my life like this?

Finally, her eyes were bright, and she said: "The emperor's heart for me, Beishang is clear, how can Beishang live up to Your Majesty." The emperor waits, Beishang is willing to treat His Majesty with red makeup. ”

Think about Shangguan Beishang, how could she be a person who covets wealth and nobility, and would compromise for the sake of this mansion. What she is doing is just Dugu Yanxiang's sincerity towards her. It's the sincerity that is willing to protect her whenever and wherever she is.

How many years? The world thinks she is the king of the North Spin. How did they know that she was just an ordinary woman, and all she wanted was simple happiness.

When Dugu Yanxiang heard this, he was immediately stunned. After many years, she was finally willing to accept him. Finally willing to be like an ordinary girl, she can have a simple love with her beloved.

He stood stunned for a long time, his cheeks suddenly smiled, and he said in disbelief: "Really? ”

Shangguan Beishang blushed and nodded slightly.

Dugu Yanxiang smiled excitedly and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you." ”

"Then the emperor will go out first!" Shangguan Beishang smiled and pointed to the door with his eyes.

"Yes, yes, then I'll wait for you outside. You have to pick it up quickly. Dugu Yanxiang thought of this and hurriedly walked to the door.

"Hmm!" Shangguan Beishang closed the door softly.

She took a pale piece of women's clothing from her closet and changed into it, then sat down at the dresser and removed her headband. Scatter that end of your hair.

Gently combed the woman's usual hairstyle, which she had tried many times on Yuzhu. But I haven't combed myself once. Now, she can finally groom herself.

She looked in the mirror, combed her hair step by step, put on hair accessories, and drew her eyebrows with rouge. Finally everything is dressed up.

She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but be a little surprised by her appearance. She can be regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world when she wears women's clothes. Among the celebrities in Beijing, she must also be among the best.

Dugu Yanxiang stood in the courtyard and waited, he looked anxiously towards the attic from time to time, but he didn't see anything. He had to go back and forth in circles around the yard.

I unintentionally pulled off a few young leaves in the garden, and tore them one by one to play with them.

Ning Chunan looked at it from a distance, and finally walked over with a flick of the dust, and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace that something happened to the Queen Mother. ”

Dugu Yanxiang stopped and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the queen mother?" ”
