After Mu Hongshang and Zheng Ying walked out side by side for a long time, she glanced back in the direction of the Peach Blossom Forest, then stopped and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I didn't follow." ”

"I know they don't dare to follow," Zheng Ying turned her head to look at Mu Hongsheng, with a hint of a smile in her eyes: "You are so powerful, if Hu Lu Yinghuan still doesn't give up, aren't you looking for a fight?" ”

"I can't really hit her like I did last time." Mu Hongshang hurriedly waved his hand: "This time is different from the past, now the peace talks are almost over, listen to my third uncle, if there is no accident, I will sign the national credentials next month." We have made a formal truce with the Aquila, and they are about to begin paying tribute. How can I do it to them again at this time! ”

"Why not?" Zheng Ying replied: "It's not you who provoked them, but Hu Lu Yinghuan came out to make trouble first, and you hit it, so what." ”

"Why do you say that, lord?" Mu Hongshang couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't think about doing anything to them." ”

"Are you afraid that Old Madam Mu will be worried?" Zheng Ying didn't need Mu Hongshang to say it clearly, she understood what she meant.

"Hmm." Mu Hongshang touched her nose a little embarrassed: "Actually, I know that no matter what, my grandmother will protect me." But now that my second uncle is sick, I don't want her to be more upset! ”

"You don't have to be so cautious." Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongsheng seriously: "You are the concubine of An Guo, you can do whatever you want." It doesn't matter if you really beat Hu Lu Yinghuan just now, there is no need for Mrs. Mu to come forward for such a trivial matter, and you don't need to worry about everything with me. ”

"That's not to cause trouble for you, lord." Mu Hongsheng hurriedly shook his head: "Fortunately, I didn't really do it." ”

"No, it won't." Zheng Ying shook her head: "You are never in trouble. You have been sensible and well-behaved since you were a child, and when have you taken the initiative to provoke right and wrong, so you must know that it will never be your fault when you encounter something like today, and you should not take the initiative to take responsibility. It's someone else who makes mistakes, and it's someone else who makes trouble. ”

"The prince is biased when he says this." Mu Hongsheng couldn't help but smile with crooked eyebrows: "My grandmother doesn't dare to say that I won't make a mistake like this." No one is perfect, and no one is perfect. ”

Zheng Ying smiled and didn't speak, Mu Hongshang was really perfect in his eyes, she looked cute sensible, she was naughty, and she was cute no matter how she looked at it. But of course he couldn't say it, so he just smiled and bypassed the topic.

Zheng Ying didn't answer, Mu Hongsheng turned her head and looked at his face carefully, and smiled again: "Lord Wang, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of Hu Lu Yinghuan." ”

"Huh?" Zheng Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Mu Hongsheng with an inquiring expression: "Where did you start with this?" ”

"Isn't it?" Mu Hongsheng tilted her head, with a three-point cunning smile: "As soon as I saw her just now, you were busy trying to make excuses to get out." Don't look at me these days, but I've heard all the popular rumors in Beijing! "Slightly

"What did you say by hearsay?" Zheng Ying shook her head helplessly: "Didn't you hear that Hu Lu Yinghuan is chasing me every day?" ”

"yes." Mu Hongshang smiled and nodded: "Everyone knows that Hu Lu Yinghuan has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you." I've heard it all. ”

"So you think I'm afraid of her?" Zheng Ying raised the fan and gently tapped Mu Hongsheng's forehead: "You are so clever." Tell me, what am I afraid of her? Could it be that I'm still afraid that she will rely on me? ”

"Isn't it?" Mu Hongshang blinked, with a stupid and cute look, which made Zheng Ying want to reach out and pinch her face.

What a pity! Can't get started. Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongshang's red face and endured it again and again, and then replied with a smile: "What ability does Hu Lu Yinghuan have to rely on me?" There is no way she and I will ever be. Let her use all kinds of means, it is just in vain. First, it is impossible for the father to let Hu Lu Yinghuan marry the prince, even if he wants to marry, he will only choose a similar son of the clan. Second, I didn't like her, so I would never marry her. There is no change in this matter, and no one can disobey my wishes. So what am I afraid of her doing? ”

Mu Hongshang's big eyes flashed, and she looked incredulous: "I'm not afraid why are you in such a hurry to avoid it." ”

"Are you afraid of her if you avoid her?" Zheng Ying couldn't laugh and cry: "I'm too lazy to deal with her, don't I want to waste my effort to deal with her?" ”

"Oh!" Mu Hongsheng nodded: "It also makes sense." But Lord Wang, if our peace talks with the Eagle Department come to fruition, will our Great Zhou really make peace with Rong Di? ”

"Quite possibly." Zheng Ying nodded and replied: "After all, Hu Lu Yinghuan and Hu Lu Changrong are going to stay in Beijing as proton elders, both of them have reached the age of marriage, and sooner or later they will have to marry and marry a wife, and it is also a good way to stabilize the covenant by letting them marry the Great Zhou clan." However, this harmony is also dispensable, so the father will never choose the real prince and princess to marry them. ”

"That's right." Mu Hongshang nodded: "I don't know that our truce agreement with Rong Di can last for a few years." In fact, both we and the Rongdi people know that this so-called peace is only temporary. ”

"No matter how many years it takes, the sisters and brothers Hulu Yinghuan and Hulu Changrong, don't want to go back." Zheng Ying replied indifferently: "From the moment they were sent to the capital, their future fate has been decided. They were the sons and daughters of the Rongdi Khan, and if they were smart enough, it was better to divide the land in peace and not be delusional. At least until we turn against Rong Di, they can still enjoy the honor of the royal family. ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongsheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Zheng Ying glanced at her instead, and asked, "Do you think the Hulu sisters and brothers are a little pitiful?" ”

"I feel a little pitiful, but I don't sympathize." Mu Hongshang shook his head: "My father and brother are still on the battlefield in the north, where do I have so much sympathy for the Rongdi people." It's just a little emotional, looking at Hu Lu Yinghuan's appearance, she probably doesn't want to believe that she has been given up by her father. ”

"You're still too kind." Zheng Ying sighed: "As the children of the Khan, this pair of sisters and brothers also live a life of being a master in Rongdi, receiving all the offerings and enjoying the most luxurious life. All this is not without a price. Accepting the offerings of the tribe and sacrificing for the tribe when necessary is a matter of course, and there is nothing to lament about. This principle is the same for our big week. It is the duty of the emperor to sit on the throne, accept the taxes and offerings of the people, and do his best for the people. That's why it is said that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. The king should sacrifice himself to protect the people and protect the country. ”
