Chapter 421: Sending Tea
According to the rules, the princess of Chu is back, and the king of Chu should arrange a table of wine and food, and call the prince and Huangfu Zhu'er to have a meal together, this is the etiquette, but Murong Mian didn't know what to think, so he didn't do it at all.
So Bai Qianfan has been back for two days, the prince has not seen her yet, he is full of curiosity about this princess of Chu, the prince is full of curiosity, the affairs of the king of Chu and the princess, he is hearsay, it is difficult to imagine the cold and hard Murong Mian's tender and sweet appearance when facing Bai Qianfan.
Bai Qianfan heard the red and green lotus talk about the prince, saying that he was like a bright moon, gentle as jade, and a very temperamental person, but unfortunately in the eyes of Princess Chu, her husband was already the most perfect in the world, and no matter how fanciful other men were, she was not interested. However, Murong Yuan is the elder brother of the King of Chu and the former prince, and his identity is not ordinary, she feels that it is reasonable for her to go and see her.
She found a tube of fine tea leaves in Murong Mian's study, and took Yuexiang Yuegui across the courtyard next door.
The prince was revising the charter, and someone came in the afterglow, and he didn't care, until a crisp voice sounded: "Say hello to the second brother." ”
He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw a pointed melon seed face, with big dark eyes with a smile, and blessed his body to greet him.
He groaned, hurriedly got up and came over to help him, but before anyone came, Bai Qianfan got up by himself, and smiled at him apologetically, "I can't stand for a long time." ”
Prince," ...... Hehehe, it's okay. Your own family, no need to see outside. When we meet in the future, there is no need to salute. ”
Bai Qianfan raised the tea in his hand, "Bring some tea leaves to the second brother," she smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know what kind of tea it is, I took it in the prince's study, the tea he drank must be no different, you can taste it too." ”
The crown prince took it, with a crying and laughing expression on his face, which he only gave to Murong Mian two days ago, but he didn't expect Princess Chu to send it back.
He thanked him gently, "Brother and sister are too polite." ”
"It's okay, there are a lot of princes, don't see us outside, second brother, go over and get it after drinking."
Prince: "......" Listening to this tone, how can it make him feel like he is under the fence.
Bai Qianfan stretched his neck and glanced at the desk, "Is the second brother reading?" ”
"I'll take a look at the charter drafted below."
"What is a charter?"
“…… It's just some constraints. ”
"Restraining whom?"
"All of them."
"Is that me, too?" Bai Qianfan tilted his head and asked, "Why do you want to restrain it, isn't it good to let everyone be free?" I don't like restraint, and the prince doesn't let me be restrained. ”
Saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao stepped in, walked over in three or two steps, stood between them, and held his daughter-in-law with his hanging hand.
"I'm looking for you everywhere, and they say you're coming up."
"Yes, I'm here to deliver tea to the second brother."
Murong Mian glanced at the tea leaves in the prince's hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the two brothers looked at each other, smiling a little embarrassed.
"Are you looking for me?" Bai Qianfan asked.
"No, I'm looking for the second brother."
"Then you talk, I'll go first."
"Okay, you go first, I'll be back right away."
"Loosen."
"What?"
"You hold my hand, how do I go?"
"Ah...... Ah," Murong Mian let go of her hand, and her heart felt like an empty piece, and she watched her walk out. He really hated this kind of taste of gain and loss. I suddenly missed her before, ran back to the inner house, she was not there, and the two maid rings were not there, his heart was instantly raised, looking around, and then a little girl told him that the princess went to the prince's side, and he hurriedly came over, and the moment he saw her, his heart settled, and he grabbed her hand and didn't want to let go.
It wasn't until Bai Qianfan's figure disappeared at the door that his gaze retracted, and he saw the playful smile on the prince's face, "I really can't believe it, third brother, you will have such a day." ”
Murong Mian lost his temper in front of his brother, and he was always a little embarrassed, "Second brother thinks it's incredible, I think so myself, why did I run into her, how could I be Bai Ruyu's daughter?" ”
"It's not clear what fate is," the prince patted Murong Mian's shoulder: "Some people can't touch it all their lives, you are a blessed person, it doesn't matter whose daughter she is, since you have met it, cherish it." ”
"That's nature," Murong Mian sighed with some emotion, "I don't ask for anything else, I just want to live a peaceful life with her, second brother," he hesitated, "I've thought about it for a long time, I'm afraid that this battle won't go on." ”
The prince was taken aback, "Why?" ”
"Now that there is a truce between the north and the south, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and they have not been affected much, so it's better to leave it like this, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, richer than the north, you come to be the monarch of the south, and the eldest brother divides the river and rules, isn't it good? Whether it is you or the eldest brother rule, Dongyue is the world of our Murong clan, and it has not been lost, so why do you have to compete for it?
The eldest brother is not a belligerent person, he works hard and diligently, he just wants to create a prosperous world, the second brother's talent is above the eldest brother, the south is ruled by you, and the people will definitely live well.
I have thought about it, the north and the south are divided, with the Lanjiang River as a trade port, the merchants of the north and the south clear customs at the Lanjiang estuary, and the rice, tea, silk, etc. from the south are transported to the north through the Lanjiang estuary, and the medicinal materials, soybeans, and tobacco leaves from the north can also be transported to the south through the Lanjiang estuary. The territory is divided into two, ruled by a separate court internally, and a country externally. The second brother thought, how about this? ”
The prince looked at him quietly, and only smiled for a long time, "Actually, you have already decided, right?" You're not here to consult with me, you're here to inform me. ”
"Second brother, my father has always taught us that the king should take the people as the sky, and now there are no foreign enemies, but it is our internal strife that causes the people to live in poverty, displacement, Sioux City was burned, how many innocent people died, do you know, if you attack the north, how many cities will go to the footsteps of Sioux City?"
"So," the prince said, pointing to the statutes on the table, "that's why you have people make these statutes and send them in." ”
"The city has city rules, the state has national rules, the essence is the same, originally Sioux City was going to reorganize the order, but now the city has become a country, there are more things, and the second brother has to work hard."
The prince waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if I work hard, but you said that the north and the south will divide the river and rule, will the north agree?" Now that General Li's whereabouts are unknown, and the situation in Jiangbei is not clear, Mao Ran started these things, and I am afraid that my efforts will be delayed in vain. ”
"This second brother doesn't have to worry, I will send someone to communicate with the north to show what we mean, if the eldest brother is willing to divide the river and rule, everyone will be happy, if he is unwilling, he has to continue fighting, it is nothing, I will accompany him to the end."
