Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mingyu's Thoughts
After the dinner in the palace, Rong Jiu returned to Rongyuan with his brothers, and as soon as he finished washing, a maid came in with a delicate box.
"Princess, just now the eldest prince sent someone to send something over."
As she spoke, the maid handed the box to Rong Jiu.
As soon as he heard that it was a gift from Song Moting, Rong Jiu's eyes lit up and he immediately took it.
"Alright, you go down first."
After the maid left, Rong Jiu jumped up with joy, and while there was no one in the room, Rong Jiu secretly opened the lid.
In the box made of sandalwood, there was a somewhat dazzling light, Rong Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and inside was a night pearl the size of a fist!
It turns out that he begged for the Night Pearl to give it to me!
Rong Jiu was extremely happy in his heart.
She carefully took out the Night Pearl and held it in the palm of her hand.
"It's embarrassing to give such a valuable gift for the first time!" Rong Jiu smirked.
But she had always been afraid of the dark, and always slept with the lamp on at night, but now that she had this bead, she was no longer afraid.
Three days later, Song Mochen arranged the affairs of the general, and returned to Beijing with Qiao Muqing and a small number of soldiers.
After another five days, Song Mozhen and others successfully arrived in Jing'an City.
At the celebration banquet, Rong Jiu looked at the two teenagers who were being enshrined in front of her, one was high-spirited, the other was as gentle as jade, both of them were dignified young men, but she couldn't have imagined that the two teenagers who didn't look strong turned out to be famous generals with great achievements on the battlefield.
It's just that the banquet is still as boring as ever, and most of the topics they talk about are battles, Rong Jiu is naturally not interested in these, so he greeted his brothers and sneaked out with Ah Mu.
On the city wall, the refreshing evening breeze hit his face, Rong Jiu closed his eyes and enjoyed himself, the midsummer night, contrary to the heat of the day, the cold wind blew on his face, blowing very comfortably.
"It's better to be comfortable outside!"
A magnetic voice came from her ears, Rong Jiu opened her eyes and looked over, Song Moting didn't know when she had already stood beside her.
She looked behind her again, and Amu was gone.
"Why don't you make a sound when you walk? Don't you know that your sudden speech like this will scare people to death! Rong Jiu glared at Song Moting angrily.
"It's you who are too serious." Song Moting looked at Rong Jiu funny, only to think that her angry appearance was very cute, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face, which was still a little baby fat.
"Ahh What are you pinching me for? Rong Jiu exclaimed.
"Who made you so cute!" Song Moting said.
When Rong Jiu heard this, she blushed her old face, it was the first time she was so blatantly praised for her cuteness, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, but she tried her best to stay calm.
"Ahem, what, there seems to be someone over there." Rong Jiu pretended not to overdo it inadvertently, but he was actually covering his mouth and snickering.
Rong Jiu's small action of covering his mouth and snickering naturally couldn't escape Song Moci's eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, he didn't expect this little guy to be shy.
It's just that, in the direction Rong Jiu is facing, there is really a man and a woman standing together.
"That's Yu'er and Muqing."
"Huh?"
Rong Jiu's mind was a little unrounded, and he didn't know what Song Moci was talking about.
"I said those two people are my sister and Qiao Muqing." Song Moci was amused by Rong Jiu's cute appearance, and repeated it again with a smile.
Only then did Rong Jiu react, and looked in the direction he had just now, there were really two people.
I'll go! nonsense, there are really people!
Wait a minute! Who are those two people that Song Moci just said? His sister and Qiao Muqing? His sister ...... Isn't it the rude and willful princess last time, and Qiao Muqing, isn't it the gentle young general in the hall just now! I didn't expect these two to have a leg!
Rong Jiu's gossip heart was aroused all of a sudden, and he hurriedly stared over there with wide eyes.
Because the distance was a little far, I couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but the two said that they didn't record it, and the man left, leaving Mingyu crying alone.
"Hey! Looks like your sister was dumped. ”
Rong Jiu shook his head stainedly, and couldn't help but gossip with Song Mo.
And at this time, her heart is the kind of male protagonist fighting on the battlefield in the novel, because of an accident was woken up by the female protagonist, and then madly fell in love with the female protagonist, so she ruthlessly rejected the plot of the confession of the second female princess!
"This stupid girl, alas!" Song Moci didn't answer Rong Jiu's words, just looked at Mingyu in the distance and sighed secretly.
"Say, should we go over and comfort her?" Rong Jiu asked.
"No need, let her stay by herself, tomorrow will be fine." Song Moci smiled helplessly.
A person like Mingyu who cares about self-esteem definitely doesn't want others to see her vulnerability, and as her brother, he still knows her well.
"Okay!"
In fact, Rong Jiu still wanted to laugh at her in the past, who made her fierce last time, she was a very grudgeful person.
"Don't talk about this, by the way, we're going to play tomorrow, do you want to go together?"
Song Moci observed Rong Jiu's expression with some apprehension, the reason why he came out with him was to ask Rong Jiu to come out to play tomorrow, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, Rong Jiu hated him very much before.
"Yes, yes! Where to go? ”
Rong Jiu didn't think about it so much, and when she heard that she was going out to play, she hadn't gone out for several days, and she was suffocated.
Song Moci didn't expect Rong Jiu to agree so easily, and he was stunned for a moment, and his clear eyes were a little overjoyed.
"Well, you'll know tomorrow, and I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Song Moci was as happy as a child.
In fact, they won't have a show tomorrow at all, he just asked with luck, and now that Rong Jiu has agreed, he naturally can't say that he can't go out there, so he can only vaguely go over first.
After the palace banquet was dispersed, everyone went back separately, Song Moting and Song Mochen stood on the city wall, which was very close to the palace gate, and could see the lights of Jing'an City.
After careful calculation, the two have not seen each other for a year and three months.
"How is Big Brother doing?"
The two were silent for a long time, but Song Mochen spoke first.
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're a lot more stable."
Song Moting looked at the young man in front of him, and sighed in his heart, who would have thought that a year ago, he would only follow him, recklessly and recklessly, and be in a hurry...... Unexpectedly, in just one year, he has grown into a real general.
"Because my eldest brother said that he hoped I could be on my own, so I have been working hard for the past year, but I didn't expect to ...... in the end It still depends on the eldest brother to win. ”
Song Mochen lowered his head a little ashamedly, as if a child who had done something wrong was waiting for an adult to reprimand.
"You're doing a good job, I'm just giving you the answers, it's up to you to make the process, you know, the process is far harder than the answers. And if it was you before, the enemy was shouting outside the city, you were afraid that you would not be able to bear it for a moment, I heard that you endured it for three days, which is what I am most pleased with. ”
Song Moting patted Song Mochen's shoulder, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Fourth brother, after this battle, you can already take charge on your own, and I can rest assured that the military camp will be handed over to you." Song Moting looked at the dim light in the distance, his eyes were a little trance-like, but they were extremely determined.
"But ......"
Song Mochen still hesitated, after this time, he understood that it was not a simple matter to be in charge of the military camp and lead the troops to fight, when the eldest brother was there, he could not think about anything, not be afraid of anything, and do whatever he wanted, because he knew that no matter what, as long as he turned back, the eldest brother would definitely stand behind him.
But now...... He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to be like his big brother, and he didn't want to disappoint those who trusted him.
"You know, if you were in the past, you wouldn't be as hesitant as you are now?"
No one can always protect anyone for a lifetime, although Song Mochen and Song Moting were not born to the same mother, but since childhood, Song Mochen has always relied on Song Moting.
And Song Moting naturally knew Song Moting's potential, so he didn't want him to hide under his wing all the time.
"That's because there is a big brother here, so no matter what decision I make, I won't be afraid."
"You used to be able to, and you can now, because no matter what time it is, Big Brother is behind you." Song Moting patted Song Mochen on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Song Mochen's eyes were a little moist, but he tried his best to control the tears, he took a deep breath, as if promising something, "Thank you, big brother, I will definitely be able to!" ”
"That's right." The corners of Song Moting's mouth rose, and he finally smiled with satisfaction.
Inside the Yaohui Palace.
Mingyu lay on the table with a bitter face, with a few plates of her favorite snacks in front of her, but she couldn't eat a bite at the moment.
"Princess, eat as much as you want, don't go hungry." Mingyu's personal palace maid Fennel persuaded anxiously.
"Hongu is not hungry." Mingyu said angrily.
"But princess, you haven't eaten since the dinner, and if you are hungry, the emperor and the mother will have to worry again."
"It's good to starve to death, maybe, then he will feel sorry for me."
When Fennel heard this, she became even more anxious, "Princess, you can't think so!" Maybe, maybe General Qiao has some unavoidable hardships, you can ask him another day, why bother yourself so much. ”
Mingyu listened, and just smiled bitterly, she and Qiao Muqing grew up together, how good their relationship was when they were children, they were tired of playing together every day, but when she grew up, Qiao Muqing became more and more indifferent to her, always holding 'men and women are not kissed', and finally simply went directly to the barracks.
Yesterday she lowered her face to show her heart to him, and he still looked cold.
"What can he do? It's just that he doesn't love me, forget it, since he hates me so much, I just don't provoke him. Mingyu said, tears running down her cheeks.
"Gave up so quickly? This is not the Song Mingyu I know. ”
Song Moci came from the door, waved his hand to signal Fennel to go down, and then sat down next to Mingyu and wiped the tears from her face distressedly.
"Look at you, crying like a little cat, who will like it when you see it."
"Third brother, woo woo......" Mingyu cried aggrievedly when he saw Song Mo's resignation.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, look at your brother and me, how many times have we been rejected, have I given up? As long as you persevere, there will be results. ”
"Really?" Mingyu asked with teary eyes. But she had persisted for so long, and he still didn't want to.
"You have to believe your third brother, let me tell you, that guy Qiao Muqing may feel that he is not worthy of you, so he deliberately alienated you, in this way, my brother will teach you a method......" Song Moci said, leaning into Mingyu's ear and muttering quietly.
"Is that really okay?" Mingyu held back her tears, but she was still a little unconfident.
"Absolutely reliable!"
Seeing Song Moci's firm eyes, Mingyu finally smiled.
