Chapter 35: Irony

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Murong Hua, the daughter of Murong Hong, the leading general, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I am very happy to hear it. Now that the prince has passed the age of the weak crown, when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. Knowing that Murong Hua is in the boudoir, and the prince can be called heaven and earth, in order to become a beautiful woman, Ru Murong Hua will be matched with the prince as the crown princess. All etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”

After the Grand Duke Fu Rui, who was beside the emperor, read out the holy decree with a sharp voice, Murong Hua's heart suddenly burst into joy, she really wanted to come to something, which made her even more determined to find the God of Wealth Decree.

Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes drifted to Murong Qing who was kneeling beside her, and she also knew in her heart that the person sent by her mother had not stolen the God of Wealth Order.

"Miss Murong, take the order quickly!"

After Fu Rui saw that he had read out the holy decree, Murong Hua did not move to remind him softly, Murong Hua took the holy decree, and Murong Hong and the others kowtowed to thank him.

Subsequently, Furui took the holy decree and read it, and Murong Hongzheng was promoted to the general of the first-rank hussars.

Murong Hua learned that Murong Hong had been promoted several levels in a row because of herself, which made her feel extremely proud in her heart, and her face also showed a slight smugness, and so did the Han family.

It's ridiculous that the mother and daughter are ignorant, Murong Hong has now been secretly demoted by the emperor, and he is a loose official with no power.

When Murong Hong sent away Furui's father-in-law, Murong Qing said, "Uncle Liu, go to the various mansions to deliver posts, and the general's mansion will be happy, so that they will come tomorrow to celebrate." ”

Murong Qing's decision Murong Hong did not stop it, but took a deep look at the Han mother and daughter who were complacent, and then returned to the study.

And the Han family mother and daughter were full of suspicion when they heard Murong Qing's decision, and they didn't understand what her intentions were.

Following.

Murong Qing had lunch from Donglin Garden before returning to the General's Mansion, at this time, the General's Mansion was full of people, and the invited officials went in and out and said flattering words, but the smiles on some people's faces were meaningful.

Murong Hong sat in the hall drinking tea and greeting those officials, while Han's mother and daughter were smiling like flowers, as if they didn't see the expressions on their faces at all.

When everyone saw Murong Qing walk in, the meaningful smile on their faces immediately disappeared, and they all changed to a look of disdain for the show.

At this moment, Su Muchun came back from outside, and when they saw Su Muchun, they all put on a humble and humble smile, and they all got up and knelt down to salute Su Muchun, Murong Qing looked at them, the ministers who changed their faces faster than turning a book, and laughed in their hearts.

"The Prince Arrives ......"

With a singing and shouting, the prince was dressed in a dark blue robe, and walked in surrounded by Han Zhongzhi, Qiu Shangshu and others, which was already obvious, but the prince had already conspired with Han Zhongzhi and others, and everyone got up separately to salute the prince.

The crown prince glanced at everyone, and his gaze did not stay on Murong Hua, but fell on Murong Qing.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Su Muchun let out a very unhappy cold snort, and the prince immediately raised his eyes to look at Su Muchun and said with a warm smile, "I heard that the seventh brother has moved to the General's Mansion to live?" ”

Su Muchun said with a pun, "Yes...... A down-and-out prince like me can't be compared with the imperial brother, so he can only live in the General's Mansion. ”

"Hehe......"

The prince chuckled and said, "Get up!" ”

How could he not hear the meaning of Su Muchun's words, it was obvious that he was talking about the holy decree again, if it weren't for Su Muchun exchanging Murong Qing with a military talisman, I am afraid that the one who has a marriage contract with him today would be Murong Qing, but these Murong Qing don't know.

Murong Hong invited the prince to sit down, and everyone went back in parts, Murong Qing originally wanted to sit back to herself, but Su Muchun quietly held her hand and refused to let go, her eyes like a deep pool were staring at the prince, as if to remind the prince that Murong Qing was her personal belongings.

Seeing this, the prince's eyebrows moved and he didn't say anything, because he hadn't gotten the talisman yet, and he couldn't act rashly now.

Murong Hua saw that the prince hadn't looked at him from the moment he entered the door, but he kept staring at Murong Qing, and he hated Murong Qing even more in his heart.

Han looked at his daughter, and wanted her to pour wine for the prince and take the initiative to approach the prince, but Murong Hua's eyes kept staring at the prince's every move and didn't look at her at all.

Seeing this, Qiu Shangshu's heart moved, and he got up and said, "The eldest lady is still a thousand flowers, and she is really a perfect match for the prince." ”

Murong Hua was slightly stunned when he heard this, glanced at Qiu Shangshu, and then lowered his head shyly.

When the prince heard this, he stared at Murong Qing and moved his gaze to Murong Hua, who was full of shyness, and he was also obsessed for a while.

Everyone looked at Murong Hua and then at the prince, and they all laughed meaningfully, and Shang Shilang flattered, "The prince is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the eldest lady is virtuous and virtuous, and the prince is really a match made in heaven." ”

Shang Shilang glanced at Murong Qing who was sitting next to Su Muchun and said, "It's not like some people who have a perverse temperament, roosters and dogs. ”

Murong Qing ignored this, but Su Muchun said, "Shang Shilang, isn't he barefoot and afraid of wearing shoes?" ”

This was said too bluntly, Shang Shilang's old face was red for a while, and he glanced at Su Muchun and sat back again.

Han Zhongzhi's eyes rolled up, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Murong for being entrusted with an important task by the emperor and being promoted to the position of hussar general." ”

"Congratulations, congratulations......"

"Congratulations, congratulations......"

“……”

Han Zhongzhi looked at Murong Hua as he spoke, no one knew the intention of his words, and for a while, he congratulated one after another.

Murong Hong was not angry, and said with gratitude, "I am happy and happy, and thank you for coming to congratulate you and let you break the bank." ”

His sentence made everyone break the bank, and the people who said it were all speechless, and the scene suddenly quieted down, because all their belongings were mortgaged to Murong Qingke, so what other valuable things could be sent.

Seeing this, Murong Hong asked, "My lords, what's wrong?" Could it be that he came empty-handed? ”

“……”

The crowd was silent.

Murong Hong said happily, "It's okay, maybe you came in a hurry and forgot to bring it for a while, but it's too late to send someone back to get it now." ”

Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.

"Huh?"

Murong Hong asked questioningly, "Ladies and gentlemen, shouldn't you even bring your entourage?" ”

Everyone present, who is embarrassed to say that his family is poor and can't even afford to give money to his subordinates, what a drop!

Seeing this, Murong Hong immediately sank his face and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you looking down on General Ben?" When you came, you didn't even bring your entourage, because you were afraid that I, the general, would not be able to manage the food? ”

"Poof......

Everyone secretly scolded Murong Hong for being despicable and shameless, knowing that Murong Qing had almost mortgaged the ancestral tablet of their pit, he was still sitting and talking without backache.

Murong Hong snickered in his heart, but his face was still sinking like water, and he said, "Uh...... It doesn't matter if you don't bring your entourage, it just so happens that my general's subordinates are here. ”

Speaking of this, Murong Hong looked out the door and shouted, "Butler, butler!" ”

Liu Zhong hurriedly walked into the door and saluted, "What does the general command?" ”

Murong Hong said, "Your Excellency came in a hurry, you didn't bring congratulatory gifts, and you didn't bring your entourage, see what congratulatory gifts your lords have sent, you can record it, and then send someone to the house to pick it up." ”

"No!"

Liu Zhong glanced at Murong Qing with a smile in his eyes, took a pen and paper and began to greet the congratulatory gifts one by one, and recorded them in the book.

Those rich ministers have crooked noses, and there are still such congratulatory gifts, but they don't give them......

The prince is here, if the prince sees that he has no value, then they ...... The big tree of the prince is unreliable.

Helplessly, those ministers took out the treasures they had treasured for many years, such as the four treasures of the study, antique vases, famous calligraphy and paintings, etc......

After Liu Zhong recorded it, he bowed to Murong Hong and left the hall, arranging for people to go to various mansions to get congratulatory gifts.

Only then did Murong Hong order, "Let's start serving!" ”

The food that everyone ate was tasteless, like chewing wax, they originally came to see Murong Hong's jokes, but they didn't expect to be severely humiliated by Murong Hong, not to mention, and they also put in a lot of treasures that they had treasured for many years.

However, some people think that if they have taken everything anyway, it is better to humiliate Murong Hong and vent their anger to themselves.

Someone sneered and said, "The hussar general is really blessed to have given birth to such a good daughter." ”

"Yes! It's better to have a daughter! If you give birth to a daughter, you can be promoted! ”

“……”

Murong Hong and Murong Qing didn't think much of it, because they had already thought of this when Murong Qing decided to invite them.

"Ahem......"

The prince coughed lightly a few times to remind, and everyone heard that this coughing sound was not from Su Muchun, and they all looked at it, and when they saw the prince's somewhat unhappy face, their hearts were shocked.

Just now, I just cared about a quick mouth, but I forgot that Murong Hua was going to marry the prince, and the prince himself was sitting here.

The adults suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and they all got up and knelt on the ground, and said with a frightened expression: "Yes, the ministers are open-mouthed, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness." ”

The prince's face softened and said, "Get up!" On such a good day, don't spoil the scenery. ”

"No!"

Murong Hua walked up to the prince under Han's hint, and poured wine for him with graceful movements and a shy.

It's just that the prince didn't feel impressed by her self-conceived charming gesture, but just nodded and said lightly, "Thank you, Miss!" ”

And Murong Hua, who heard this sentence, had a red face, and he was delicate and beautiful, like a flower waiting to be picked, and everyone who watched it was fascinated.

The prince's heart also moved, and he stared at Murong Hua with burning eyes and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Ahem......"

Su Muchun's cough is really bad scenery, Murong Qing is still waiting to see a good show! But the atmosphere was broken by Su Muchun's unhurried cough.

Murong Qing secretly pinched Su Muchun with her little hand dissatisfied, Su Muchun dotingly grabbed her hand that had not been withdrawn, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up an arc that was not worth her life.

The small movements of the two of them attracted a lot of attention, so Su Muchun's smile made everyone present lose their minds for a while.

Even the prince was in a trance for a moment, and he slandered in his heart: his seventh brother is really a demon!

Murong Hua, who was looking at the crown prince in front of him, did not shy away from revealing a greedy gaze, staring directly at Su Muchun and drooling, the wine jug in his hand was tilted, and the wine was sprinkled on the ground unconsciously.

Murong Qing muttered dissatisfiedly, "A man looking like you is really a big scourge in the world." ”

When Su Muchun heard this, the smile on his face was even worse, and he looked at Murong Hua, who was distracted beside the crown prince, and said, "It seems that the crown princess is the imperial brother...... It's not the right choice! ”

"Humph!"

"Bang!"

The prince stared at Murong Hua with a gloomy face and snorted angrily, Murong Hua's body trembled lightly in fright, his face was discolored, and the wine jug in his hand fell directly to the ground.

Han smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to the prince, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the little girl is a little unwell today, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive her sins, forgive your sins!" ”

The prince said coldly, "If you are unwell, you should rest in your room." ”

Han Shi hurriedly nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes......"

After saying that, he picked up Murong Hua and left the banquet stupidly, but when he walked past Murong Qing's place, there was a vicious look in his eyes.

The prince looked at the departing Han mother and daughter, turned his head and glared at Su Muchun, who was doting on Murong Qing, picked up the wine glass on his body and drank it angrily.

He knew that it was not Murong Hua's fault, but he made him so faceless in front of so many ministers, and he still recorded this matter on the heads of the Han family and the others.

Han helped Murong Hua out of the hall, and just happened to meet the maid who was walking in with wine, his heart moved, stopped the maid and handed her a small paper bag, and whispered a few words in his ear.

When the maidservant heard this, her face changed greatly, showing a look of panic and panic, and she was about to kneel down to refuse, but she was grabbed by Han Shi and said in a cold tone, "The matter is done, I can't do without your benefits." ”

When the servant girl raised her head slightly and saw Han's cruel and vicious eyes, her face turned into horror again, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
