Chapter 155, Illusion
Chu Qing'er was dressed in light pink clothes like a fairy who had fallen into the world, and the noon sun hit her face, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, which was endearing.
Ruan Muheng didn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Chu Qing'er like this, watching her come from the light, for a moment he even felt that this moment was his Qing'er coming back.
He still remembered the first time he saw her, Qing'er also ran to him with such a clever smile, waved his hand lightly in front of him, and said to him with a smile: "I'm Qing'er, what should I call you?" ”
He was bored with the whole world at that time, and took two steps back and said, "It's just a name, it's just a casual number, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"No! A person's name can be used for a long time, maybe you will still use this name in the next life! ”
"Oh? If the girl can guarantee that the name Qing'er will be in the next life, then the deity will reluctantly think of a name for you to call. ”
Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled secretly: "It's the first time I've seen someone say that they don't have a name so fresh and refined!" ”
"Huh?" Ruan Muheng choked, he really didn't have a name at that time.
"That's it, this girl reluctantly gives you a name, how about Mu Heng? I have the same surname, my current name is Ruan Qing'er, is your name Ruan Muheng okay? ”
Since then, no matter how much she has experienced, she has always used the name Qing'er, even in Shen Muqing's life, the end of her name is still Qing'er, she is afraid that he will not find her, and she is even more afraid that he will not tell her her name in the next life.
And Ruan Muheng has never changed his name, just that Ruan Muheng has lived for a thousand years.
"General Nguyen?" It wasn't until Chu Qing'er's voice sounded in his ears that Ruan Muheng walked out of the memories of him and Ruan Qing'er, with a look of attachment and reluctance on his face, Chu Qing'er looked at him puzzled and said, "Did the general think of something unhappy?" ”
Ruan Muheng took two steps back slightly, looked at Chu Qing'er in the soul state, shook his head and said, "I just think that Miss Qing'er is still suitable for wearing pure white clothes, so Miss Qing'er will be more like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world." ”
"Pure white? Tomorrow is my birthday, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wear it, I'm afraid that my father will say that I don't know the rules, if I can, I really want to wear a white dress, but this light pink is also my favorite. ”
Ruan Muheng stood in place in a daze, he remembered that from this life, his Qing'er saw that he was wearing a pure white dress, and even if he ascended to the gods, he immediately faded from a light pink to a white dress.
And in his heart, he always remembered that his Qing'er said that she liked sky blue, and she liked a lot of colors, just like her god, arrogant, cool and diverse.
"General Ruan doesn't seem to be in a very good state of mind today." Chu Qing'er stepped back, bowed slightly, and said: "The little girl will follow the general's description to find the dress to wear tomorrow, if the general is tired, go back to the general's mansion to rest first, after all, this is not a major matter of human life." ”
Ruan Muheng realized that he had been neglecting Qing'er, who he had been missing for a long time, since he entered the Chu Mansion, and he hurriedly focused and said: "No, I'm just thinking, what kind of clothes should you wear to appear tomorrow so that you don't have regrets about your salute." ”
Chu Qing'er looked at Ruan Muheng with a smile like a spring breeze and said, "The general is too worried, and it is already a blessing to have the general prepare the salute for me." ”
Ruan Muheng slowly approached Chu Qing'er, gently brushed away the yellow leaves that had just fallen on her head, smiled and did not speak.
It's just that the people next to him can see his undisguised love for Chu Qing'er from his gaze.
"General."
A general shattered all the tranquility of him and Chu Qing'er.
The anger in Ruan Muheng's eyes did not hide the slightest meaning, and he said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the general, the emperor is urgently summoned."
Although the voice was not loud, Chu Qing'er could hear it clearly, and she took two steps back as usual with a good heart: "The general should go and get busy first, and leave the matter of choosing clothes to the upbringing grandmother in the house." ”
Ruan Muheng looked at Chu Qing'er reluctantly, he would rather she be ignorant now, like Shen Muqing, kept coquettishly telling him not to do those things, everything came according to her wishes, but he knew that Chu Qing'er would not do such a thing.
He tentatively said, "Perhaps, you can try to say that General Ben will pick out the clothes and accessories with you before leaving." ”
Chu Qing'er was slightly stunned, she never expected to hear such words from Ruan Muheng's mouth, she looked at Ruan Muheng with some shock and said, "General? Are you talking to me? ”
Ruan Muheng saw that Chu Qing'er looked frightened, put away all the emotions that he wanted to possess her, took a step back slightly and said, "No, come here, prepare horses, enter the palace!" ”
"Yes."
Looking at the back of Ruan Muheng leaving, Chu Qing'er sighed slightly, and the maid stood beside her and muttered, "Why doesn't Miss keep the general?" ”
"He is a general, and if it is really as my aunt thinks, if I want to marry him in the future, I will have to accept all his sudden departures."
The maid looked at Chu Qing'er half-understandingly, scratched her head and said, "Miss, you haven't entered the door yet!" So soon to start thinking about the general? ”
Chu Qing'er glanced at her maid with shyness, and hurriedly returned to the mansion with her skirt.
Palace
As soon as Ruan Muheng entered the palace, he saw a picture of déjà vu.
The girl, who was about to be sixteen years old, sat on the dragon chair with the emperor on an equal footing with joy, staring at him expectantly, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.
It's just that when he saw her, he was still full of disgust.
"Brother Mu Heng!" Shen Muqing looked at Ruan Muheng with a look of surprise, and even stood up suddenly, as if she was looking at an old man who had been waiting for a long time, even in the main hall, she did not hide her feelings of missing him.
"Nuan'er! Do it first. The emperor looked at Shen Muqing with a serious expression, pulled her back to her seat, patted the back of her hand, and looked at Ruan Muheng and said, "General Ruan!" How is the preparation for the head salute of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister was just preparing for Miss Chu, but the emperor was in a hurry, so the minister put down what he was doing and rushed here."
The emperor touched his beard, looked at Ruan Muheng with a slightly thoughtful expression, and said, "General Ruan, it's not a big deal for me to recruit you today, but it's a big deal, I want to ask if you are willing to marry recently?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister has this intention, and recently the minister and the woman have been together for a long time and found that they can be a good match."
"Oh? Who is that woman? What is the status in the Tang Kingdom? ”
Ruan Muheng glanced at Shen Muqing meaningfully, and said with a slight smile: "That woman's status is extremely high, compared to Weichen. ”
The emperor wanted to ask something more, but Shen Muqing gently tugged on his father's sleeve and said, "Father, how can you interrogate Brother Mu Heng like a prisoner!" ”
"It's... I just wanted to ask which woman General Ruan had a crush on. ”
Shen Muqing lowered his head shyly, shook the emperor's arm and said, "Father, which girl in our Tang Kingdom can get such high praise as Brother Mu Heng?" Why do you knowingly ask? ”
The emperor first looked at Shen Muqing in a daze, and then suddenly smiled again: "You, you!" What a ghost girl! Okay, I won't ask any more questions, let's leave it to you young people, isn't the young lady of the Xiangfu family going to be courteous Ming'er? It's also a big deal, so you can go with General Ruan. ”
"Yes, Father." Shen Muqing raised his head and bowed proudly, took Ruan Muheng's arm with a smile, and smiled sweetly at him: "Brother Muheng, let's go!" ”
Ruan Muheng withdrew his hand from Shen Muqing's arms in disgust, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess's salute is coming soon, these days should be very busy, and there is nothing that the prime minister's side has to be busy with, so I won't bother Her Royal Highness the princess to go through." ”
Shen Muqing leaned in and looked at Ruan Muheng and said, "Brother Muheng, I'm not the kind of person who is pampered, let me also go and see how the sister of the Prime Minister's Mansion is arranged, I am really dizzy and dizzy to arrange the ceremony today!" ”
"Let him go! General Nguyen. The emperor waved his hand at Ruan Muheng, and said impatiently: "Okay, let's all step down." ”
As soon as Ruan Muheng left with Shen Muqing, Concubine Chu Guifei twisted her waist and walked out from behind the screen, fell into the emperor's arms like a broken bone, and said, "Your Majesty, you can't help but spoil her too much." ”
The emperor's face was pale, and he grabbed the broken hair that Chu Guifei left behind in his ears, and said coldly: "If you still want to have this kind of honor, don't talk about Nuan'er, Nuan'er grew up with me holding her little." ”
Concubine Chu lowered her head in interest, clinged to the emperor's arms and gently hammered his chest and said, "Your Majesty, who is the person General Ruan said belongs to his heart?" ”
The emperor said with a smile on his face: "Nine times out of ten, it is Nuan'er, in the entire Tang Kingdom, there is any woman who can be praised like General Ruan, and there is only my Nuan'er." ”
Concubine Chu didn't answer again, just poured a glass of wine and handed it to the emperor and said, "Ming'er Qing'er's ceremony, does Your Majesty want to go over?" ”
"No, Ming'er is going to prepare for Nuan'er's ceremony, if Nuan'er wants to go over, let's discuss it! Come on, set up Fengyi Palace, I haven't been to see the queen for a few days. ”
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Chu was inexplicably pushed up by Ruan Muheng, standing in place, no matter what he said, the emperor didn't look at him again, and just watched him leave his bedroom.
Shen Muqing's eyes fell on Ruan Muheng all the way, and he didn't pay any attention to the cloud advice on the side.
Yun Jian looked at Ruan Muheng with his eyes several times, for fear that he would say something to hurt Shen Muqing.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Weichen still thinks that Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't need to go."
Shen Muqing pinched his waist and looked at Ruan Muheng and said, "Since Brother Mu Heng is so insistent, then Brother Mu Heng will accompany me to go shopping!" I want to eat that sugar gourd on the side of the old street. ”
Ruan Muheng glanced at Yun Jian on the side, frowned slightly, and said, "Yun Jian, you take Her Royal Highness the princess to buy it, and all the expenses will be reimbursed by the general."
"No, you can't! Why don't you come with me? Brother Mu Heng! I didn't get angry when you went to help that woman set up a banquet, and I didn't stop you, why didn't you accompany me to buy a sugar gourd now when I asked you to accompany me? If you do this again, I won't like you!"
Ruan Muheng looked at these vivid scenes, back then, he denied Tang Nuannuan's love for him, and generously admitted his love for Chu Qing'er, which caused his Qing'er to live a miserable life in that life, and even his innocence was almost lost, he suddenly began to panic, looking at the femme fatale woman in front of him who looked like a little white rabbit but was a vicious femme fatale, he frowned and stepped back, choking and looking at Shen Muqing.
"Brother Mu Heng, what's wrong with you? Why did his face suddenly become so ugly. ”
Although Shen Muqing was worried about Ruan Muheng's body, she was also secretly happy, for her, Ruan Muheng's reaction seemed to be afraid that she would be sad and angry.
She approached Ruan Muheng like a kitten, shook his arm lightly and said, "Brother Mu Heng, I was joking just now, I swear that I will never dislike Brother Mu Heng."
Yun Jian looked at Ruan Muheng Tieqing's face, knowing that he had endured it to the extreme, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the general has just come back from the battlefield, and he is tired of taking care of those trivial things all day long, so it is better to let his subordinates buy it back for you today!" ”
"What kind of dog are you? When will it be your turn for Princess Ben and Brother Mu Heng to speak? Shen Muqing looked at Yun Jian who kept disturbing her with a little anger.
If she hadn't brought Yun Ji out with her today, she thought things wouldn't have gone so badly.
Yun Jian looked at the woman in front of him who looked unfamiliar and had an equally unfamiliar voice, if it weren't for those eyes with Shen Muqing's look, he might have killed her with his own hands now.
Tang Nuannuan, the person in this world who dares to say such disrespectful things to the blue-eyed people, is the first.
Everything around seemed to feel the emotions of the clouds, and the wind began to slowly pick up, and even made people feel that the next second was about to storm violently.
Ruan Muheng glanced at Yun Jian proudly, the ability of the blue-eyed man was stronger than his thousand-year-old fox, "Princess, today's weather doesn't seem to be suitable for going out, so let's go and buy it for the princess and send it to the princess's palace, what does the princess think?" ”
Shen Muqing saw that it was impossible to leave the palace today, glared at Yun Jian beside him, and obediently agreed to Ruan Muheng's words.
Yun Ji knew that Shen Muqing didn't want to see him anymore now, so he obediently moved two steps to the side and said, "Princess, the queen mother ordered her subordinates to go to the imperial garden for her this morning to find the jade pendant that fell yesterday, please ask the princess for permission."
Shen Muqing waved his hand impatiently and said, "You'd better not find it today."
After Ruan Muheng left the palace, he went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he entered, Chu Qing'er was sitting in the courtyard watching the jujube tree slowly fall leaves.
"General?" The moment she saw Ruan Muheng, Chu Qing'er was obviously surprised, "Didn't you go to see the emperor?" Is there something left in the Prime Minister's House? ”
Ruan Muheng looked at Chu Qing'er, whose face was ruddy and had not been destroyed by the villain, and smiled slightly: "I'm just here to ask Miss Chu, what do you like to eat?"
"Is the General preparing tomorrow's menu? The butler has gone to prepare. Chu Qing'er slowly walked towards Ruan Muheng, still looking knowledgeable.
Looking at Chu Qing'er who was slowly approaching him, Ruan Muheng subconsciously wanted to dodge, he didn't know what the reason was, but he felt that there was an inexplicable sense of alienation and familiarity with the current Chu Qing'er.
