Chapter Twenty-Three: Look
――――Shangguan Prime Minister's Mansion――――
Shangguan Yaoran came to the garden, which was where Shangguan Weiming often practiced.
From a distance, through the flowers, you can see Shangguan Weiming, who is practicing seriously, and even the flowers and plants around him are breathing together.....
Seeing his heir take this competition so seriously, he already had a conclusion in his heart, since the Murong family had so many problems for the Shangguan family, he couldn't hide from it, but if Shangguan Weiming was allowed to bear it alone, wouldn't it be too unfair? Shangguan Yaoran knew this very well, but this competition was something he strongly requested to participate in, which he couldn't stop, and his heart suddenly had a lot of thoughts......
I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for Shangguan Weiming....
Shangguan Weiming saw that his father had come here, so he stopped practicing and walked respectfully in the direction of his father, "Father, you are here."
"yes, how have you been practicing lately? There is less than a month to participate in the competition, don't put too much pressure on yourself" Shangguan Yaoran naturally knew in his heart that if he lost this opportunity to compete, then others should look down on the Shangguan family, this kind of thing if one person does something wrong, the entire family will be implicated, this is the second thing! Let's not mention the first one.
Shangguan Weiming nodded, "Thank you, Lord Father, I think my skills have been okay recently, and I can maintain the previous level, but I heard that Murong Holy Lord ordered me to go to find the matter of the Golden Wood Stone, I don't know if I should give up the practice and go directly to find the Golden Wood Stone, and then directly participate in the competition?" He heard a subordinate say it while walking outside, but he never heard his father talk about it.
The matter explained by the Holy Lord Murong must be very important and urgent, but why didn't Daddy mention this matter to himself? Shangguan Weiming felt very strange, and finally asked.
When he heard the words of Shangguan Weiming in front of him, Shangguan Yaoran obviously hesitated for a few seconds, or he didn't intend to tell him about this matter at all, and wanted to wait for all the competitions before mentioning this matter, doing the two things together would only distract him, and it would be of no benefit to his own family.
But since he has already asked, if he doesn't answer silently, it will only arouse his suspicions even more, that's it..."That's right, this matter is as you said, it is Murong Sheng, mainly for you to find the whereabouts of the golden wood and stone, I mentioned to you before, go to find your master, I think everything will wait for you to compete, the dust will settle, and then go to end this matter, this matter must not be impatient."
Shangguan Weiming just nodded and didn't say anything.
But the question of gold, wood and stone in my heart still hasn't been eliminated, what kind of thing is it? Why didn't Lord Murong send someone else to find it? And send yourself to find it? What does this thing have to do with you? Why didn't Daddy tell himself about it beforehand?
――――Fuyun Palace――――
Murong Huantao heard that his brother went to disturb Shangguan Weiming, and he felt really uneasy, why did his brother do this? Is it deliberately targeting yourself? But the brother who has always doted on him is not such a person in his eyes, so what does the purpose of doing this mean?
"Brother, why do you want to target Shangguan Weiming? I've already heard people say it, the scene that day was really embarrassing, I think you need to give me an explanation....." Murong Huantao stopped talking and didn't continue.
In front of his aunt and sister, Murong Dong naturally wanted to explain this matter clearly, but the hidden reason behind it was something that no one could know, and fortunately, he could only make up a lie and pass this matter.
"Oh, you mean that? Don't you say that I almost forgot, I just wanted to motivate him last time, do you think, if he didn't pass that exam, wouldn't it be a shame for the Shangguan family? Do you embarrass our Murong family? So I'm just helping him, you see how good the results are now, he passed the exam, helped the Shangguan family and our Murong family to save face, kill two birds with one stone, my sister should praise me, right? Smiles spread all over his face, as if it was really as he said it was.
When Murong Huantao heard what his brother said, even if he knew that his brother was doing it for his own good, this was still a little unacceptable, frowned slightly, and blinked slowly, "Phantom Tao knows that my brother is doing this for the sake of the two families, but it's not good to let Shangguan Weiming's brother not come to the stage in front of so many people, don't do it next time, I heard that Shangguan Weiming's brother is extremely self-reliant, don't let him be angry and have more displeasure in his heart, you know?" "I have long known that Shangguan Weiming is my fiancé, but I have never seen him, and I only heard from other people's mouths what kind of person she is and what kind of appearance she is born with, no way, women in that era are so feudal, only on the night of marriage will the husband lift the hijab to see what the two parties are like.......
Murong Dongyan agreed without a word, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all~
Murong Shengzhuo ignored it on the side and didn't make any explanation, she couldn't be clearer in her heart, no matter how much trouble she made was between their brother and sister, her own intervention would only make this aunt's approach seem a little unkind.
After that, Murong Huantao returned to his room, always asking the next person about Shangguan Weiming's news.
"Miss, I heard a small slave in the Shangguan Mansion say that Shangguan Gongzi treats every subordinate with great respect, and every time when choosing a subordinate, those subordinates are scrambling to enter the jurisdiction of Shangguan Weiming Gongzi to do things, without being punished and beaten for no reason, so it seems that Shangguan Gongzi is really a good husband!"
"I remember the last time when Prince Murong Dongyan went to stir up trouble, Shangguan Gongzi was not a little timid, he just wanted to find someone to prove his strength level, so it seems that Shangguan Gongzi is really a brave and resourceful person!"
When Murong Huantao heard these words, the corners of his mouth were slightly closed, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he was thinking in his heart: Is this Shangguan Gongzi, who has never met before, really like what they said? He was such a perfect man, I really wanted to meet him when I had the chance, but ..... I rarely have the right to speak in the Murong family, and even when I go out of the palace once in a while, I have to ask my aunt's opinion, it seems that it is even more difficult to see Shangguan Gongzi once.....
Unconsciously, he sighed, and a maid next to him asked, "Miss, why are you sighing?" ”。
"It's just that I heard that Shangguan Gongzi in your mouth is such a person, but I have never seen him, I really want to see her, I guess my aunt will not agree....." Shangguan Huantao was a little disappointed......
But at this time, the maid next to her came over softly, "Miss really wants to see Shangguan Gongzi?" ”。
"Of course," Murong Huantao nodded.
"I have a good idea, I heard that in a month it will be the day of the martial arts competition, this is a major event for our Murong family, when the time comes, the Holy Lord of Murong will definitely take you there, as long as you can say a few kind words in front of your brother, I believe he will take you," the maid said.
When he heard these words, Murong Huantao's eyes instantly shone a little, yes, this competition is a matter for the whole country, and it is indeed a major event worth paying attention to in Fuyun Palace, and all members of the Murong family should be present, as long as they follow the pace of their brother at that time, I believe that my aunt has no reason not to take her (In that era, a little girl like this had no right to speak, not to mention that to participate in a competition ceremony, she had to ask her aunt's consent, but his brother was different, his identity as a manIt's too easy to say something...... )。
――――In the Broken Temple――――
Ziling is looking forward to the scene in a month every day, I don't know if he will recognize him when they meet for the first time, and if he will become very handsome? Or changed the way you looked when you were a child? These are very difficult to determine, I wonder if he can still hold that half of the jade pendant?
"Hey, what are you thinking so about?" Duan Wuluo snapped his fingers beside him and said with a smile on his face.
Ziling slowly jumped out of her imagination, "I didn't think about anything, but I was too bored in this broken temple, and I didn't know what to do........"
"Don't know what to do? Too boring? ”。
"yes, do you have any good ideas?".
"So, I'll get you some ingredients, and you can go outside and cook! It's almost time to eat, my stomach is starting to growl, since you are idle and bored, then you go to cook, save a few of us from being hungry! Duan Wuluo said on the side.
But before Ziling, who heard this, could refute it, Ke'er, who was standing aside, took the lead and walked a few steps forward and said, "What? Is this the attitude you have when talking to my young lady? You actually want my young lady to cook? Don't you want to live anymore? Of course, Ke'er has to defend her position as a princess, and the princess has never made these foods since she was a child, so it is really embarrassing for her to do so......
"Hey~Hey~Hey~Hey~, you don't want to beat people, didn't your young lady say that it was too boring, then I'll arrange a task for her, look at the two of you now, look like you're going to eat people!" Duan Wuluoton's time is full of desire to survive.
Ziling didn't say anything, walked to a corner of the ruined temple, and picked up the ingredients in paper packaging, "This...... It's something you can cook and eat, right? ”。
Duan Wuluo looked expressionless, looked at Ke'er next to him, looked at the ingredients he was carrying in his hand, and nodded.....
"Then I'll try to make some food, just wait!" Although Ziling has never cooked, out of curiosity, she can also try it~
Ziling walked out with the ingredients, but the two people in the room looked at each other and stared straight at each other, "Was it my young lady who went out just now?" ”。
"Yes..... Right? Duan Wuluo said.
