Chapter 21: Princess Xueji
The prince sent to Western Qin was decided, and sure enough, it was the fifth prince Murong Ju.
When Murong Jin learned the news from Bai Xiying's mouth, his heart couldn't help but tighten. Although I expected it, I still felt a little cruel.
Bai Xiying felt a little ridiculous: "You weren't born in the royal family on the first day, why are you still so sentimental?" ”
Murong Jin said: "After all, they are siblings. ”
Xiqin's proton arrived in Thorn City at the end of February, and she was an eight-year-old female doll. The surname of the Western Qin Emperor is Liu, and the name of this proton is gone. Liuli, named Xueji, is said to be the imperial daughter of Western Qin.
"Eight years old, only a little older than the Sixth Emperor Sister." Murong Jin said with emotion.
"The person who is appointed as the prince is not simple."
Murong Jin shook his head, "Then if Emperor Xiqin really wanted this princess to be the emperor, how could he send her to Dayan?" ”
"That's right," Bai Xiying said, "Although Western Qin has also had empresses in the past, it stands to reason that it is not uncommon to have an imperial concubine." This time, it was exchanged as a proton to Dayan, saying that it was a political achievement, but in this way, it was separated from the current politics of the Western Qin Dynasty for I don't know how many years. There are really few people in the royal family of the Western Qin Dynasty, and at this time, there is only such a son and a daughter left. Now the prince in the Western Qin Palace, I'm afraid, is the real candidate for the East Palace. This Princess Xueji should just be an outcast. ”
Bai Xiyingyun said lightly, but for some reason, Murong Jin always had some bad feelings in his heart. At that age, you should be like the Sixth Emperor Sister, carefree. And she was abandoned by her father and went thousands of miles to a strange country, not knowing when she would return.
“...... Xiao Jin, are you wandering? ”
"Huh?" Murong Jin hurriedly pulled back his thoughts, "I was just thinking, this Princess Xueji is really pitiful." ”
"Pathetic? I see—but you are in the same sickness. ”
Murong Jin smiled: "Mr. said he was joking." ”
Dong Xian knocked lightly on the door outside, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Rui has come down." ”
Bai Xiying frowned, "Why is he here?" ”
Murong Jin got up to open the door and said to Dong Xian, "Please come in." ”
At this time, although it was spring, but the Great Thorn City was not warm, Murong Shu was wearing a thin blue shirt, shaking a green folding fan in his hand, and walked in like this, "Hold back in the house all day, don't you go out to breathe?" ”
"Uncle Rui."
"This king finally has a free time today, Ah Si, do you want to go out for a walk with Uncle Wang......" Before the other word "go" was spoken, he saw the white shadow behind Murong Jin, and immediately collapsed his face, "Why is Bai Gongzi here?" ”
Bai Xiying arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Rui, below is the music teacher of the four princes. ”
"Huh? This king is obviously stepping on time, could it be that this king has miscalculated," Murong thought to himself, "Isn't Ah Jinmo still in class?" If this king disturbs ......"
"It's staying in the next, and I won't disturb the two highnesses in the next, and I'll leave." And he departed.
Murong Shu looked at Bai Xiying's figure, and for some reason he was a little annoyed. This person's kind of indifference, and no one in his eyes, is really unpleasant.
But he still smiled and said, "What does Ah Si think this person taught?" ”
Murong Jin nodded: "It's much better than Mr. Yuan." ”
"Why? Is Mr. Yuan bad? ”
"No," Murong Jin said helplessly, "It's just that Mr. Bai won't let me stroke the qin in the cold wind......"
Murong Shu paused for a moment, then walked over and whispered in Murong Jin's ear: "This surname Bai is not a good thing, Ah Si, you don't have to get too close to him, you will be taken badly." ”
"......" Murong Jin felt that these two people must have some ulterior motives, "I think Mr. Bai is very good, not like a bad person, did Uncle Rui Wang misunderstand something?" ”
Murong Shu looked at Murong Jin with great distress and sighed, feeling that this child had been led astray, but he still comforted himself: "It's okay, it's okay, you're still young now, and when you're older, you'll understand." ”
Murong Jin nodded as if he didn't understand, "That's what Uncle Rui said." ”
"Little Ah Si, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Where does Uncle Wang want to go?"
"The peach blossoms have bloomed these days, so it's better to go to Bihu for a walk."
"Okay."
......
There are some peach trees planted here and there on the edge of Bihu Lake, and at this time the peach blossoms have not yet fallen to the branches, half of them are in full bloom, and half seem to be in arrears of a spring rain. When the breeze blows, some petals fall to the surface of the lake, lighting up the slightest ripples, to have a different kind of spring beauty.
Murong Shu leaned on the railing of the Bihu Pavilion, and the light yarn rose with the wind, which was very commensurate with the spring shirt.
Murong Jin looked at the peach blossoms floating not far away in a daze, and only felt like the peach tree that had been blooming for ten years in the palace in the past. It's just that the peach blossoms here fall into the water and drift with the water, while the peach blossoms in the Qiwu Palace are crushed into dust and mud, and the flowers are protected again.
"What is Ah Si thinking?"
Murong Jin looked at Murong Shu blankly, "Uncle Rui sometimes feels ...... Can't help yourself? ”
"Involuntarily?" Murong Shu smiled and said, "How can it be, this king is chic and happy every day, he can mix wherever he wants, and no one cares about me, how can I not be comfortable." ”
Murong Jinzhi felt that there was an indescribable sourness in these words, and then he thought of the king who burned himself in the room in the name of rebellion, a compatriot of King Rui.
How many bones are there under the throne? Murong Jin didn't think about it anymore, and he didn't dare to think about it.
"Little Ah Si doesn't feel happy?" Murong Shu bent down to fish out a pool of lake water, only to feel that it was still a little cold, "When this king was as old as you, he also felt unhappy, and he often thought about how to please anyone, and how not to be caught by others. Later, I slowly stopped thinking about it. Many things are like that when you think about them, and when you don't want them, they are like that. It's better to live one day at a time, and do whatever you want, even if something unfortunate happens that day, after all, when you are happy, you may be longer than those seventy or eighty old kings. ”
"Uncle Wang's eyes are also reasonable."
Murong Shu stroked his black hair, "That's nature." ”
The two walked slowly along the lake again, and saw a little girl in pink and a little maid in green walking towards them.
Murong Shu smiled when he saw it, and leaned over and asked, "Which girl are you, why is there only one girl following, what about your father?" ”
It was a ruddy, white little girl with beautiful eyebrows. A pair of black jade-like eyes seemed to be covered with a film of water, half of Mo Yun's hair hung down to his waist, and the bun was not complicated, only a hosta and two silk flowers were decorated, and a pink skirt was draped with a cloak of the same color, but it seemed that the peach blossoms on the side were a little inferior.
The little girl Shi Shi Li, opened her mouth softly, and her voice was clear: "The little girl is the quality of Western Qin, and when she came to your country recently, His Majesty said that the palace has not yet been built, so let the little girl live in the palace first." I don't know if it's disturbing the adults? ”
"That's the case, I said how I haven't seen a girl with such a sign before," Murong Shu said with a smile, "This king is King Rui, Your Majesty is my imperial brother, this is this king's imperial nephew, ranked fourth." ”
Liuli owes a debt, "The little woman has seen His Royal Highness King Rui, the fourth prince." ”
"Princess Xueji." Murong Jin only felt that this eight-year-old child did not have a trace of timidity, but showed a calmness and calmness that his peers did not have.
"Where is the princess going?"
Liuli replied, "I was about to go back to the palace to rest." ”
"Then the king and Ah Si will not be disturbed, princess, please."
Murong Jin looked back at the small figure, and the pace was very steady every step, without a trace of confusion. Murong Jin felt that every step in that step was an indescribable pain. I couldn't help but think of Bai Xiying's words-
This Princess Xueji should just be an outcast.
