Chapter Twenty-Six: In Life, Love Is Not Everything
Murong Xi was overjoyed and performed the highest etiquette of the Mu Kingdom to him, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" ”
She glanced at the prince with a shy face, and was about to open her mouth, but saw Liu Zhixun shake her head inaudibly.
She was puzzled, and turned her eyes to her brother, and found that Murong Pei was looking at Liu Zhixun in a daze.
She likes Liu Zhixun very much, and she knows her character quite well.
Now, she is afraid that there is something unspeakable about her stopping herself like this?
Murong Xi gritted his teeth and said with a shy face, "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are many princes in your country, and everyone is very good, Xi'er has already been dazzled...... Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor to give Xi'er some time, after all, it is a lifelong event, and Xi'er must pick and choose. ”
With such a temperament, she praised her sons again, and the emperor couldn't even if he didn't agree.
The emperor smiled and couldn't see the slightest displeasure, "Okay, well, marriage is not child's play, and it is reasonable for Princess Xi'er to consider it like this, then I will give you three days, and after three days, you will give me an answer." ”
"Xi'er obeys Yi's will."
Zhao Wenzhan thought that he was definitely the best choice for Murong Xi, but he didn't think that Murong Xi would regret it temporarily, and let his dream come to naught, and he couldn't hold his face for a while.
Song Qingying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, one day late will have one more day of variables, who knows who Murong Xi will please after these three days. As long as this Muguo woman doesn't marry, it's easy to say anything.
Thinking so, Song Qingying quietly curryed favor with Zhao Wenzhan again, but saw that the other party's face was getting darker and darker.
Concubine Zhao saw it clearly from the high position, her face was cold, and she was more and more dissatisfied with Liu Zhixun in her heart.
Let's not say that Song Qingying is going to be the crown princess in the future, in terms of her current identity, she is also much more noble than Liu Zhixun, she makes Song Qingying unable to come to the stage like this, with her relationship with Tianze, Prime Minister Song will be so clear that this has caused Tianze a lot of trouble in secret.
Seeing that Murong Xi did not choose Zhao Wenzhan, Liu Zhixun breathed a sigh of relief, but raised his eyes and looked into a pair of amber eyes, which contained confusion and even obvious anger.
She was in a state of flux, and smiled at Murong Pei without any heart.
Although she was the one who disturbed his sister's family affairs, it was for their good in the end. Zhao Wenzhan is a reckless man, he has no ambitions, he thinks differently, Murong Xi has traveled thousands of miles all the way, if he marries like this, he will definitely regret it in the future.
Zhao Wenzhan and Murong Xi are definitely not a good match.
At night, Liu Zhixun sat on the roof, bored looking at the moon in the sky, and there was a rustling sound next to her, her eyes drifted, and after looking at the comer, she looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The man sat down beside him, bringing with him a strange scent.
"You knew I was coming?"
Liu Zhixun nodded: "I know, I just didn't expect that you would come at night." ”
It's midnight and three, in case someone else sees it, it will be troublesome.
Murong Pei shrugged disappreciatively, "The night is hidden, it's convenient, and there aren't so many rules." ”
She smiled dumbly and agreed, "You are a very shrewd person. ”
The moonlight was hazy, the silver-white light shone on the earth, the green silk was lifted by the wind, her side face seemed to be crossed by a blurred white light, and every frame was beautiful.
He quietly withdrew his gaze, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said again, "I almost forgot to get down to business." ”
"I know." She intercepted his words and looked at him without hesitation, "You are here for the banquet." ”
He raised an eyebrow, an undercurrent surging in his amber eyes, "Since you know, then please trouble the girl to explain why you did that day." ”
Liu Zhixun sighed, "Although Princess Murong Xi is a little rude, her heart is always good. She was spoiled by you and grew up, how can she face the intrigue in this palace? The East Palace, that is the place where many women in the capital want to go in, if the prince is a person who entrusts him for life, I will not have much to do. It's just that this prince is not worthy of her. Princess Murong Xi is just a temporary novelty to him, and when she grows old and her beauty is twilight, she will ......"
She couldn't go on at this point, but Murong Pei understood what she meant.
He looked at her silently, and then smiled again, but there was a little more desolation in his smile.
"In life, love is not everything."
She looked into his eyes and saw that there was a layer of mist in the depths, which was difficult to see.
She was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
A thousand people have a thousand choices, there are a thousand lives, how can she talk about other people's lives.
In the bleak night, there seemed to be a bird's voice, and she heard him say again, "Actually, I envy you and General Qin, we are happy with each other, and we will work together for a lifetime." In this life, it is not bad to live like this. ”
Liu Zhixun was stunned, she only knew that royal families like them were all beautiful because of their power, but she never thought about what they gave up for power!
It's just that his shadow is very distorted in the moonlight.
In the study of the General's Mansion, the candle flame jumped slightly, casting the shadows of the two on the window paper, and the ink fragrance covered the fishy smell.
The man was dressed in a night coat and was bowing his head to report something to Qin Tianze.
Qin Tianze's fingers tapped on the tabletop, his eyes looked at the orange candle flame, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, he said, "Are you sure?" ”
"My subordinates saw with their own eyes, Zhao Mingqi, the secretary of the ministry, left the house the day before yesterday, and a carriage entered Lingyun Temple directly, and half an hour later, Murong Pei came late, and entered a side room with him, and did not come out until Yinshi."
The long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow under the eyes, and there was not the slightest temperature under the eyes, and he ordered at the man, "Closely observe Zhao Mingqi, if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately." ”
"Yes."
Qin Tianze moved the joints of his body, but his mind kept recalling the words of the man just now.
Sure enough, as Jing'er said, Murong Pei, the prince of Mu Kingdom, came to Liang State, not just because of marriage, Zhao Mingqi didn't have much contact with him, but he didn't expect him to have a relationship with Murong Pei.
He remembered the previous incident between Murong Pei and Liu Zhixun, and his brows couldn't help but tighten even more.
"Murong Pei, it's better not to hit Jing'er with your idea, otherwise, I will have to make you suffer the consequences."
"Master!"
Hua Xiangrong pushed the door and hurriedly ran from outside, Liu Zhixun got up and pulled her to sit down, and handed over the tea.
"What's the matter, so panicked?"
Hua Xiangrong still had any thoughts to drink tea, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said breathlessly: "Master, the saint has decreed."
