The one hundred and thirty-ninth round
At dusk, the weather in early autumn was extremely cool, a light breeze blew, very comfortable, Nan Xueyu was half lying on the soft couch, playing with the fire dragon ball on her chest, the faint temperature was just right, thinking of the night's affection for herself, she couldn't help but slightly pick the corners of her mouth, showing a little smile.
Suddenly, an annoying voice sounded, "Xue Yu, you are really comfortable, what are you thinking about alone, so happy?"
Murong Yao!
Nan Xueyu instantly withdrew her smile, although her expression was not very cold, but the intention of not welcoming her was obvious, "What is His Royal Highness the Wing King doing?, have you forgotten how she was invited to leave the Warm Fragrance Pavilion last time?"
Unexpectedly, Murong Yao suffered a loss as soon as he got started, but he was not angry at all, but his smile was still the same, and he deliberately pretended to be confused, "When was the last time, this king doesn't remember, it's hard for Xue Yu You still remember every time you meet this king, this king is very moved." โ
Secretly Chi Yan sneered disdainfully: Moved your ancestor! After scolding, I felt a little sorry for King Yue, after all, these two brothers are the same ancestor, King Yue didn't do anything wrong, he overturned a boatload of people with a rod. But he really couldn't get used to Murong Yao's face, rubbed his hands, and was eager to try, and asked Nan Xueyu with the technique of "transmitting sound into the secret", "Master, his subordinates threw him out?"
Nan Xueyu turned her back to the direction of Chiyan and made a gesture without a trace, meaning that he would calm down and figure out Murong Yao's intentions today. "His Royal Highness the Winged King is really good at telling jokes, how can I have anything 'before' with you, I don't know if His Highness came here today, what advice do you have?"
Not to mention anything else, just Murong Yao's attitude of hiding the knife in his smile is very suspicious. Don't forget that at the concubine ceremony, she sabotaged his plan several times, especially in the end, she was forced to swear not to communicate with Nan Xuerong in private, which can be said to have disrupted all his arrangements for dealing with the emperor, he should hate himself to the bone, how could he be smiling, and he was so polite, no ghosts.
Murong Yao glanced at a few boxes on the table and said, "This is a congratulatory gift from someone else, right? Hmph, he knew that these people would be the best at looking at the height of their eyebrows, and they would definitely rush to the door to send congratulatory gifts, so he deliberately came over a little later, so as not to run into them and not show his specialness.
Needless to say, the reason why he came to the door with a smiling face and congratulatory gifts today was, of course, because he adopted Xiangyang's opinion, don't go head-to-head with Nan Xueyu, but do what she likes, it's best to coax her to change her mind about herself, then everything will be easy to do!
Although Nan Xueyu hadn't seen through his mind for a while, she knew very well that he had definitely no good intentions when he came to the door today, so how could he be fooled, he just smiled indifferently, "Let Your Highness see and laugh, they are all vulgar things that can't be elegant, Your Highness is extraordinary, and he regards money like dung, and he won't look at it in his eyes." โ
While speaking, Qiling and Dong Yi heard the movement, put down the work in their hands, and came out of the house, protecting Nan Xueyu from left to right, looking vigilant.
"Don't be rude to Your Highness," Nan Xueyu waved her hand, "Dong Yi, serve tea." Since Murong Yao wants to act, then she will accompany him to see what tricks he is going to use.
Although Dong Yi wished that Murong Yao would leave quickly, he still turned around very obediently, and soon came up with a tray, put a bowl of tea in front of Murong Yao and another cup in front of Nan Xueyu with a cold face, and immediately changed to a smiling face, "Third Miss, please drink tea." โ
Murong Yao's face suddenly turned white with anger: Damn, it's really a dog's eye to look down on people! Nan Xueyu doesn't want to see herself, even if she doesn't want to see herself, her little girl actually divides people into three, six, nine and so on, waiting for one day when he cleans up Nan Xueyu, these people who look down on him will not let go of any of them!
"Okay," Nan Xueyu took a sip of the teacup and said, "Your Highness hasn't explained yet, it's ...... to come today."
"Oh, naturally, it's also to congratulate Xue Yu that you have to be crowned a princess," Murong Yao waved his hand, and the guards who came with him immediately sent a box that was more than a foot square, and he pushed it over on the table, "A little meaning, Xue Yu, see if you like it or not." Having said that, looking at his confident appearance, I am sure that Nan Xueyu will like it.
And so it was. Nan Xueyu had actually roughly guessed it, and smiled indifferently, "Your Highness is too polite, how can I stand it." โ
"What's wrong with this," Murong Yao raised his eyebrows, Nan Xueyu's indifferent appearance made him quite annoyed, which at least showed that she didn't take herself seriously at all, let alone the gifts he sent!" "Could it be that you look down on this king when you accept congratulatory gifts from others, but don't accept this king?"
"Your Highness is serious, I don't mean that, I just don't want Your Highness to spend too much. Nan Xueyu stimulated him enough, so he reached out unhurriedly and opened the box.
As a result, as soon as the box was opened, the bright light color made Nan Xueyu and Qi Ling unconsciously close their eyes, and then saw clearly, it turned out to be a set of jewelry made of pure gold! From hairpins to gold hairpins, from step shakes to flower yellow, from necklaces to bracelets, all of them are heavy and full of ingredients, and they are expensive at a glance.
"How, do you like it?" Seeing that the three of their masters and servants were silent for a long time, Murong Yao thought that they were shocked by his generous gift, and couldn't help but be very proud, women, they are really vulgar things, as long as they have money, who doesn't take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.
"Your Highness is really generous," Nan Xueyu smiled a little coldly, and covered the box, "But this gift is too valuable, I really can't afford it, Your Highness should take it back and give it to those in need." Secretly he sneered: What is there to be proud of! This looks like it is carefully crafted, and these gold must have been given by the people below in order to please Murong Yao, I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment have been stripped of, compared with the congratulatory gifts sent before, they are all a copper smell, no different.
Murong Yao was stunned, he didn't expect Nan Xueyu to refuse, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and even more annoyed, "Xueyu, what do you mean by this?
"Your Highness misunderstood," Nan Xueyu stood up and said in a cold voice, "It's that this gift is too valuable, I can't afford it!" I'm just the daughter of a subordinate, and now although I have the grace of the queen mother and am named a princess, I don't dare to be luxurious, otherwise the queen mother will blame me for being ignorant, so His Royal Highness still takes this gift backโโ"
"Excuse!" Murong Yao sneered, his face turned blue, "The gifts given by this king are luxurious, so what about these!" he pointed to a few boxes on the table, "What they give is not luxurious and unassuming?"
Murong Yao, your nature is like this, no matter how much you hide it, it won't last long, why bother to be coy at the beginning! Nan Xueyu secretly sneered, but her face was calm as usual, "Are these things, Your Highness doesn't know, His Royal Highness Yue Wang means that I will exchange these things for silver money to help the poor." But if I do the same thing, Your Highness, the gift you have given, won't you feel distressed? That's why I asked Your Highness to take the gift back, and I can't bear it. โ
She deliberately said that the idea of relieving the poor was made by Murong Ye, that is, to spread the news, so that everyone in the capital would know that King Yue was kind to others, and that he had Dayan's people in his heart, to put it bluntly, he was creating momentum for Murong Ye, and by the way, he would stimulate Murong Yao again, killing two birds with one stone, why not.
"......" Murong Yao did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count Nan Xueyu still had this hand, especially when he heard that Murong Ye had already won her favor before him, and he had to pretend to be pretending to help some poor people, he was so angry, his face was red and white, and he still had to take care of his own face, so he couldn't do it......!" Of course this king won't feel distressed, Xue Yu, you, who do you think this king is......"
Don't you feel distressed? Damn, how much does this set of jewelry cost, do you know that Nan Xueyu really wore it for you, so that people know that it was given by this king, and that's it, but if you really use it to relieve those poor acids that make people want to vomit at a glance, it is simply a tyrannical thing, who can stand it!
"Really?" Nan Xueyu suddenly showed a surprised expression, "Your Highness really doesn't feel distressed?" Then, this is what His Highness said, this gift was given to me, it is mine, how to deal with it, it's up to me, Your Highness don't regret it?"
Murong Yao was taken aback, knowing that he had sold himself, and seeing the cunning look in Nan Xueyu's eyes, he had a very bad premonition, but when it came to this, it was like water that had been spilled, and it could not be recovered, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course...... This king has always been the same......"
"Then thank you, Your Highness!" Nan Xueyu suddenly looked happy, "Actually, it's not just those poor people, even I, the girls in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, are all bitter masters, and today is the day when they will come out - Qi Ling, call them over, just say that His Royal Highness the Wing King is merciful and rewarded." โ
What? This is going to beโMurong Yao was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Qi Ling already knew that the master was going to tease the Wing King fiercely, so she was secretly amused, and hurriedly cooperated, "Yes, Third Miss!"
After that, he turned around and went out to call someone, and after a while, seven or eight Yahuan family members came over together, stood respectfully, lowered his eyebrows and said, "What do you want from the third lady?"
"It's not an order, it's a great thing," Nan Xueyu raised her eyebrows and said, "His Royal Highness the Wing King is merciful today, and wants to reward each of you with a big gift, you can't forget His Highness's kindness, do you hear?"
Everyone was secretly surprised, and then couldn't help but rejoice: Working in this Warm Fragrance Pavilion for so long, because of the unpopularity of their masters, they also tightened their belts all day long, how could they have hoped for any courtesy, Nan Xueyu said this, especially rewarding them, or His Royal Highness the Wing King, they are still not flattered?
Although these people were picked by the eldest lady when she was alive, they were not the kind of people who forgot their righteousness and would betray their masters, but the days were sad, and some complaints were inevitable
