Chapter 93: Sarcasm
The days passed day by day, Mu Xiwan was imprisoned in the mansion by the father and son of King Qi, even if no one stopped him, but no matter where he went, he could find many secret guards following him, even if he couldn't see it, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Mu Xiwan simply didn't go out all day, and trapped himself in the house to read.
The books left by her master tell different theories in each one. During this time, she could only do some simple exercises in the yard every day, and she didn't dare to practice the martial arts cheats again, for fear that the martial arts practitioners would find out something boring and tell Qi Ke and his son, then everything would be a little difficult to do.
I was reading a book that day, and suddenly a group of people greeted me in the courtyard, who seemed to be eunuchs in the palace.
Mu Xiwan hurriedly went out to greet him, and saw that the leader was a popular eunuch beside the emperor, and everyone in the palace called him Gonggong Li.
When she entered the palace before, she had met with him a few times, and at the previous palace banquet, it was also this Gonggong Li who came to inform her that she wanted to participate as the county lord.
Now it seems that he is an old acquaintance, Mu Xiwan squinted his eyes and greeted him with a smile.
Gonggong Li read out the emperor's marriage, and the date was explained above. Calculating the current days, Mu Xiwan found that there was still half a month before getting married. Literally, it looks like there is still a lot of time, but when I think about what I need to prepare for marriage, I find that the time is still a little tight.
After a few words of greeting with Gonggong Li, he sent the person away.
The two parted at the door of the mansion, and as soon as Mu Xiwan turned around, he saw that the princess was also behind him, and his eyes were full of pride.
Smug.
She thought about it in her heart, and she thought it was really appropriate.
Don't care what position you have over there when you get married, it's also a life to compete for favor. Marrying far away from another country, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to return to Beiyan in this life, in the eyes of the princess, isn't it no different from hair.
"I said that the girl is really lucky, this identity is really soaring, and she became a princess over there, I'm afraid it will be even more valuable."
The princess played with her nails, and she was not afraid that she would be seen as a troublemaker.
A group of saluting subordinates had already been driven out by the maids beside her at this time, that is to say, at this time, she and Mei'er were the only ones left here, not the people in the princess's courtyard.
"The princess has been really leisurely these days, and she has time to worry about my affairs."
Mu Xiwan's eyes stared at the princess, the poison she handed over to Qi Wanwan was refined by herself, and now she hasn't seen her for a while, and now it seems that the poison has gone deeper, and it seems that Qi Wanwan is doing a good job.
Thinking of her future life, Mu Xiwan's heart was full of joy.
"There is always time for this, but in these last days, you should go out for a walk, see the mountains and waters of our Beiyan, eat more pastries you like, if you come back in the future, I'm afraid it will not be easy."
The last days?
She pondered the princess's words, why did it sound so like she was dying?
"I remember that Brother Qi Ke sent me a lot of good things these days, thinking that there were too many things, and now I don't have time to take them apart and take a look, let's go back and take a closer look, there seems to be a vase called what? 、”
She glanced at Mei'er, Mei'er smiled knowingly, and said softly, "Miss, that's a silver plum bottle." ”
Mu Xiwan smiled and nodded, her eyes narrowed together, looking very cunning, and sure enough, when she heard this name, the princess's face sank.
The silver plum vase was a treasure given by the emperor earlier, and the princess liked it very much, and she asked for it many times in the peace king, but she didn't get it. Now that someone gave it to her with a lot of treasures for no reason, the princess was naturally angry.
Mu Xiwan saw her angry face turned blue, and her heart was even more happy, so she pulled Mei'er and only hurriedly saluted, and then turned away.
The two walked slowly, and soon returned to the small courtyard.
Thinking that in the past few days, the queen of heaven has sent a lot of pastries she likes from the palace, and asked Mei'er to take them out, so she read in the courtyard, and after a while, Qi Ke walked in.
The little guy behind him still had a few boxes in his hand.
From a distance, he saw Mu Xiwan sitting in the courtyard reading a book, because of the season, many leaves fell, she was like a person sitting in a painting, but there was always a faint sadness between the eyebrows of the person in this painting, and it was pitiful to look at.
"What is my sister reading?"
Qi Ke walked from afar, sat directly opposite her, glanced at it, and saw that she was reading a book of poetry.
"What fun did my brother bring?"
Mu Xiwan put down the book, but saw the box behind him with sharp eyes.
The subordinate lifted the box over, and Qi Ke personally opened the box, and as soon as he opened it, he almost blinded her.
Mu Xiwan looked at it from a different angle, only to find that it was a set of Zhu Hai.
Zhu Hai was inlaid with a huge gem, and it should have been the light reflected by the gem just now, which shook her.
"This ......"
"This is the emerald that I ordered someone to bring back from Hainan, it is very precious, I thought of you, so I sent it to the tailor shop to order someone to build, I don't want to make it today, if it is a little later, I need to send someone to send it to Darong to receive it."
As he spoke, his tone was a little wrong.
Mu Xiwan noticed his drooping eyelids, and looked like he remembered that she was going to get married, and he was very reluctant.
But she noticed carefully that Qi Ke looked sad and reluctant to say it, but if she looked at the look in her eyes carefully, she could always find some clues. It was a hint of excitement.
Excited.
Thinking of her wishful thinking for this person in her previous life, she suddenly felt a little upset for herself.
Her lovesick friendship ruined his home for him, lost the country for her, and lost a child for him, burying her husband's life.
Just to fulfill him.
Why bother?
The two of them were relatively speechless, each lowering their eyes, each with their own thoughts.
"Don't worry, even if you marry Darong...... My heart is still with you...... Even if we can't meet in person, we can still keep in touch by letter. ”
He said one sentence and one sentence, as if to be careful with the wording.
At the end, he added, "Darong's side seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, we can mark the letter...... lest they be seen by those who should not be looking...... Such...... It's always safer. ”
Mu Xiwan listened to her words and was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
It's just that because of this topic, the luxurious Zhu Hai on the table has lost its smoothness at this time.
No one ever looked at it again.
The early autumn sunlight shone down and fell on everyone's body, shining, and everyone was bright, but they didn't feel a trace of temperature.
After Qi Ke left, Mu Xi didn't even look at Zhu Hai at night, and only asked Mei'er to put it away.
Mei'er put away the box and placed it in a wing room in the courtyard, where many large and small gift boxes had been placed.
