Chapter Forty-Eight: Sleep Tonight
Murong Xun smiled, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but the inner man loves his son and has done some wrong things, so he feels a little bad in his heart!" ”
While speaking, Murong Xun realized that it was the eldest lady who sent a killer to assassinate Xiyue who was found by the people of the eldest princess's mansion, and the assassination failed, the matter was exposed, and the eldest princess went to the Jinluan Palace to ask for the guilt, and the emperor punished Murong Hua for half a year for the sake of Sister An's heart, and the eldest lady thought about it in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Murong Xun naturally knew that Murong Hua couldn't be so anxious about that half a year, but he didn't know what to worry about, and it was difficult for Zhao Ling to ask, so he had to find another opportunity in the future. However, this time the eldest princess's mansion brought Xiyue back, which is bound to be very unfavorable to Murong Xuan, she is very curious, what other means does the eldest lady have!
After that, he stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for lunch, and there were only Murong Xun, Murong Hua and Zhao Ling during the banquet. Although Zhao Ling's complexion was weak, he was very concerned about Murong Xun in his gestures, not only in his words and actions, but he looked at Murong Xun's expression, more like a person who was caught in love. Not only Murong Xun, but even Murong Hua on the side frowned mightily, looking at the two people opposite, there was a little more exploration between their expressions, and they seemed to be a little more relieved.
When Murong Xun's heart was transparent, she didn't have much contact with Zhao Ling, but the few contacts she had didn't seem to make Zhao Ling tempted. Looking at the tenderness and sweetness in Zhao Ling's eyes, Murong Xun unconsciously sneered in his heart, this kid is really good at acting!
After lunch, he stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for some time, and only when it was almost late did he go back to the Qin Palace. As soon as the carriage stopped, the butler said anxiously: "Lord, princess, you can be regarded as back!" ”
Zhao Ling got out of the car and reached out to help Murong Xun again, but she gently dodged, and she didn't mind retracting her hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Majesty is here! I've been waiting for the prince in the palace for a long time! ”
Zhao Ling paused slightly, his face showed a little solemnity, he turned back to Murong Xun and said, "Your Majesty is here, come with me to see you!" ”
Murong Xun was also slightly stunned, she knew that since she married Zhao Ling, she would inevitably meet in the future, so she was not much surprised, so she nodded, "Let's go!" ”
The two went to the hall together, and saw Zhao Ling sitting on the upper seat, and there was a woman wearing a light purple cloud skirt sitting next to her, the woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair like lacquer, eyebrows and eyes, as if she was seven points coquettish and three points heroic, but she was not Shangguan Yu'er.
"The younger brother has seen the imperial brother, Concubine Hui!" Zhao Ling bowed and said.
Murong Xun also followed him and blessed his body. She glanced at the woman carefully, and was shocked, but the woman's eyebrows and eyes were five points similar to her own in her previous life, and she heard that Zhao Ling was calling the woman Concubine Hui Niangniang, and it could be seen that this woman was now the concubine Fang Qiao'er, who was now prosperous and favored.
"You've just recovered, sit down!" Zhao Che said lightly.
Zhao Ling and Murong Xun just sat down, and Fang Qiao'er on the side giggled and said: "This King Qin just woke up and accompanied the princess back to the door regardless of his physical weakness, the two of them are really very affectionate, but as the folk legend goes, the two have long been affectionate, and now they are becoming more and more happy, Your Majesty's marriage is really wonderful!" There was no mention of Murong Shan in his words.
Zhao Che laughed, "Qiao'er's mouth is really good at talking!" But he looked at Murong Xun coldly, and he stopped laughing, "King Qin is now seriously injured and has not recovered, and the princess will have to bother more in the future!" ”
Murong Xun immediately got up, lowered his eyes and said, "This is what a concubine should do!" ”
She raised her eyes to look at the man sitting in a dark gold brocade suit, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, his posture was as tall as a tree, and his body was full of domineering spirit that reigned over the world. This man, the man who once made him love so much that he could forget life and death, now that he looks closely, it is no longer difficult to let his heart throb.
She had no connection with him eight years ago except for bitter hatred. It's just that Murong Xun couldn't have imagined at this moment, fate is also wonderful, she tried her best to get rid of her involvement with him, and in the end, there was a relationship that could not be separated from them, trance, and entangled.
At this time, Zhao Ling thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Che and said solemnly: "Since the imperial brother is here, the younger brother wants to inform the imperial brother of an idea in his heart, hoping that the imperial brother can agree!" ”
Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, let's say it!" ”
Zhao Ling said: "The younger brother was injured this time, listening to the words of the Shangguan Divine Doctor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover for a while, the younger brother wants to recuperate in the palace for some time, so he can't serve as the marshal of the Pingxi Army, I hope that the imperial brother will choose another virtuous general, and the younger brother is also ashamed, but I hope that after the body recovers, I will share the worries of the imperial brother!" ”
Zhao Che pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, you just concentrate on recuperating your injuries!" But don't worry, when your injuries heal, this Pingxi Army will still be yours! ”
"Brother Xie Huang!"
Since Zhao Ling resigned from his official position, he concentrated on recuperating his injuries in the house, and no one else was seen, and outsiders only knew that King Qin and the princess were accompanied by each other day and night, like glue.
Murong Xun poured some of the feed from the jade plate into the pond, attracting many fish to compete for food, and it was not lively for a while. When the wind passes, the lotus flowers bow their heads and smile shyly, the lotus leaves are delicate, and the pieces of emerald green are endless.
"Princess, the princess has been looking dazed when he sees the princess for the past few days, thinking that the princess is not suitable for the first time when she arrives at the palace, so she invited the most famous troupe in Chang'an City, and today she specially came to relieve her boredom with the princess!"
Murong Xun pressed her temples, looked at the happy goldfish under the lake with cold eyes, raised her eyebrows, and gently swept over the purple moon beside her, she was still wearing a light purple thin shirt today, her expression was very light, just like her attitude towards Murong Xun these days, she did not reject or flatter.
"Got it!" Murong Xun said lightly, she called out to Yingge and Yanyu on the side, and raised her eyebrows lightly, "Do you want to see it?" ”
Yingge had a faint and indifferent expression, while Yan Yu smiled, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, "Think!" Miss, you can take us to see it! ”
"Let's go!" Murong Xun smiled faintly, and the Yingluo fan in his hand gently patted Yan Yu's head.
When she arrived at the place where the stage was built, she saw the stage babbling and singing, she was not very interested in the drama, and she listened to it for a while. Looking around, I saw that on the stand opposite the water pavilion separated from the stage, Zhao Ling was half-leaning on the mahogany carved chair, his eyes focused on the performance of the two Hua Dan on the stage, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, thinking that he was very satisfied.
Murong Xun found a seat next to Zhao Ling and sat down, and after sending Yingge and Yanyu away to look for a place, he was a little absent-mindedly playing with the small fan in his hand, the fan surface of this fan is made of snow silk, and there is a picture of a beautiful woman lying drunk and lying on it, and the painting of the moonlight, it is said that this ice silk is dedicated to the Queen Mother by Tianzhu, and after the Queen Mother made it into a close-fitting garment, the remaining materials were made into a fan and rewarded to several higher Niangniang in the palace. And the painting on this fan was made by Mr. Wu, a master of calligraphy and painting in the dynasty, but I don't know where Zhao Ling got this fan.
"What does the princess think of this play?"
Murong Xun came back to her senses, and when she turned around, she saw Zhao Ling looking at her, her eyes were shining, like a star, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked away, put it on the two Hua Dan on the stage, and said lightly: "Not bad!" ”
"Does the princess like it?" Zhao Ling took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"Average!" Murong Xun frowned, according to the truth, she glanced at Zhao Ling coldly, it was obvious that she was in a panic, but she insisted on making herself famous, lest she have to go back to herself in the future, it is better to say it clearly.
Zhao Ling frowned slightly, and after waving Hua Dan who was singing on the stage, he handed a play list to Murong Xun, and said, "If the princess doesn't like this scene, it's better to order a play she likes to watch!" ”
Murong Xun wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhao Ling's appearance, he would be unyielding, so he took the play list, glanced at it lightly, and said, "It's okay for Wu Song to fight the tiger!" She is not very interested in literary opera, but when Wu was a child in southern Xinjiang, the family would invite the opera troupe to sing during the New Year's holidays, and that was what their brothers and sisters were most looking forward to was martial arts.
Zhao Ling was slightly stunned for a moment, and said: "There are not many women who love martial arts dramas, and this king vaguely remembers that the imperial sister-in-law also liked this 'Wu Song Fighting Tiger' back then!" ”
Murong Xun raised his eyes and asked, "What?" ”
"Nothing!" Zhao Ling had already looked away, "That's it!" ”
Murong Xun saw that Zhao Ling didn't intend to say more or ask more, so he moved his eyes to the stage again, and Wu Sheng had already appeared and sang.
It's been a long time since I've heard this play, and Murong Xun is in a trance, and the corners of his mouth are unconsciously raised. When the play ended, she still had a feeling of unfinished.
The small fan was gently fanned, Murong Xun looked back, and saw that Zhao Ling was staring at him, but he didn't know how long he had been watching, his eyes were focused, with a little inquiry, and his black eyes seemed to be deep and bottomless.
Murong Xun was a little irritated by such a gaze, so he lowered his face and asked lightly, "Has the prince seen enough?" ”
Zhao Ling smiled lowly, and the brilliance in his eyes was even greater, "The princess is so picturesque, no matter how you look at it, you can't see enough!" After a pause, he added: "But the princess looks more beautiful when she laughs, just like the ice and snow melt and spring returns to the earth!" ”
Murong Xun glanced back at Zhao Ling lightly, "The words in the prince's mouth are sweeter than honey, but the prince is so captivating the woman's heart?" ”
The smile on the corner of Zhao Ling's mouth deepened, and he said, "Is the princess tempted?" ”
Murong Xun played with the fan and said lightly: "What if you can't move your heart, you and I are already husband and wife!" ”
Zhao Ling suddenly leaned forward, looked at Murong Xun face to face, his warm breath was cast on her face, he raised his hand and gently pulled up a trace of hair hanging down from Murong Xun's sideburns, "That's the case, then the princess is also the princess's business, tonight, the princess will sleep!" ”
