Chapter 199: Matchmaker
The 15th Lantern Festival is a festive day, whether it is in the house or outside the house, it is all very lively.
And this day is also the time for meditation to manifest one's true body.
However, as in previous months, he still used the same tricks, and to outsiders he was no different from usual.
There is no big change in the flowers on the other side behind the Yuan Circle, last time she helped Huo Mansion's second Liu Zi, only grew a little bit, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully.
However, today, Yuan Quanquan felt something strange in his body. She can't describe what it feels like, but she feels that her body seems to have become lighter, and she walks much brisker.
In Yan Jingxuan's master bedroom, seeing the silk red slowly flowing out from her back, being led to the skeleton in front of her, and finally all converging on the "little bean sprout" on her chest, Yuan Quanquan suddenly thought and wanted to reach out and touch it.
Meditation saw through her mind at a glance, "Want to touch?" ”
Yuan Quanquan nodded, his eyes revealing curiosity.
The rib made of her blood, and the one closest to her heart, seemed to have a sense of it, slowly luring her closer.
When her fingers lightly touched the tips of the small white bones, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly came from the fingertips defenselessly, gnawing at her limbs like ten thousand ants gnawing bones. But in the blink of an eye, she broke out in a cold sweat, and her face turned white in an instant.
Immediately withdrew her hand, Yuan Huanhuan held the finger and gasped lowly, the pain had disappeared when her finger withdrew, but she still had palpitations and couldn't recover for a long time.
It was also the first time that Shen Xiu had encountered such a situation, when the fingers of the Yuan Circle touched his newly grown rib, no matter how he tried to probe her future and lifespan, it was a blank before, but just now, he actually found out.
Although it was just a fleeting picture, he really saw the appearance of the Yuan circle with a big belly!
Shen Xiu was shocked and wanted to let Yuan Quanquan try again, but as soon as he saw her forehead covered with cold sweat and her pale face, he immediately gave up this idea.
"What's going on?" Holding the shoulders of the Yuan Circle, it is rare for meditation to be puzzled by one thing.
The Yuan Circle slowed down for a while, gradually recovered, looked up at the skeleton in front of him, and shook his head, "I don't know either." Describing the intolerable pain she had just felt to the meditation cultivator, Yuan Quanquan asked, "Is this the pain you had to endure every month for the past two thousand years?" ”
She was almost speechless in pain just by touching it, but the meditation had endured it for two thousand years, and she really couldn't imagine how he had survived.
In the past, just listening to him couldn't empathize. And it was just that moment that she really felt what pain is, and what life is worse than death.
However, the words of meditation shocked her.
He said: "This pain is really insignificant to this king. Because of you, although the curse of this king has not been lifted, the pain of eating bones this month has been greatly lessened. But before I meet you, this king ......"
Although he didn't finish speaking, Yuan Quanquan understood his unfinished words.
Does it mean that the pain she felt just now was only alleviated by him, and before he met her and his ribs had not grown, he suffered much more than that?
Yuan Quanquan was shocked in his heart, it turned out that he had passed a full two thousand years like this? Since he was born, he has been tormented by pain every month and every month, trying to lift the curse but unable to find it, and searching the heavens and the earth and unable to find a ghost who can undo the curse for him, until he meets her?
Perhaps, she came to this world from the 21st century, and she was destined by God. She was destined to be his ghost queen, to be the medicine to lift his curse, destined to ...... She was his rib.
"So you ...... now Does it still hurt? "Except for the first time when I saw his true body, I saw him in that cave with such a painful appearance, and the second time he appeared in his real body, he seemed to be slightly uncomfortable, and the meditation he saw in the Yuan Circle after that was no different from usual, as if he had completely gotten rid of the kind of pain that could make people collapse.
Shen Xiu stretched out his hand and hugged the person, knowing that she was worried about him, and said in a gentle and relieved tone: "Don't worry, this pain is completely bearable compared to the previous one." Don't worry about it. ”
"How can you not be worried...... Yuan Quanquan stretched out his hand in distress and gently touched the face of his skull, "You can bear it." ”
It didn't matter if he meditated, and joked in a good mood: "This king can endure it." But there is one thing that this king can't bear. ”
Yuan Quanquan asked stupidly: "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Xiu leaned into her ear and muttered something softly, only to see that after hearing this, Yuan Quanquan directly pushed away the skeleton ghost in front of him, glared and scolded: "You deserve to die!" It's not serious all day long, and the skull is full of yellow waste! ”
It's rare to feel sorry for him, but this stinky skeleton is still teasing her, she really shouldn't waste her feelings, forget about him to death, who cares about him!
Seeing the little woman who walked out of the room in annoyance and shame, Ming Xiu chuckled, sighed slightly, and whispered: "This is how the king's little circle should be. ”
In the eyes of his own princess, the ghost king is a skeleton with a white forest, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still the handsome and extraordinary His Royal Highness the King of Ming.
After leaving Yanjingxuan, I went to the meditation courtyard to ask the concubine for peace. Yuan Quanquan sat next to the concubine, looked at the skeleton ghost who came in, gave him a roll of the eyes angrily, and then couldn't help but secretly glance at his little rib.
At this rate, when will this little thing fully grow? And before that, the meditation still had to endure the pain of ten thousand ants biting bones every month. Although he said that the pain was completely negligible compared to before, it still hurt.
Although he scolded the other party for being improper, Yuan Quanquan was still worried about a certain ghost in his heart.
Meditation caught her peeking little eyes, and was secretly happy in his heart, his little circle is also a duplicitous person!
During the Lantern Festival, the family will eat the Lantern Festival together and have a reunion festival.
Jieya has also lived in this Mingwang Mansion for a while, and knowing that he is a friend of meditation, the concubine also treats him as her own family, and everyone gathers together for a reunion dinner on the reunion festival. After dinner, the concubine went back to rest early, and a few of them started tonight's "matchmaker plan".
Yuan Quanquan changed into light and low-key clothes, took Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er, took the little radish head Yuan Xiaobao, and went out of the palace with Meditation and Jieya, and went to the most lively East Street.
The place to make an appointment with Murong Zhen and the little princess was Zuixianlou - at first, Yuanquanquan wanted to make an appointment in Zuiyun Tower, but when she thought that she and Murong Zhen had a little accident in that place that was not very friendly to them, she was afraid that both parties would be embarrassed, so she changed it to Zuixianlou.
The names of these two restaurants are almost the same, and the grades are similar, one is on the street of East Street, and the other is at the end of East Street, and the locations are far apart.
When she and the meditation arrived, Murong Zhen was already waiting there. When he saw them coming, he bowed and saluted.
The Yuan circle looked around, but didn't find the little princess, thinking that it hadn't arrived yet.
"Murong, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion! Congratulations on becoming a Langzhong in the Criminal Department! ”
When Murong Zhen received the invitation from the Ming Palace, he was really shocked. He couldn't figure out why King Ming would ask him out on the day of the Lantern Festival, and after pondering for a long time, guessing that it was probably Princess Ming's idea.
Now that I see people, I guessed correctly.
"Thank you, Princess." He glanced at the tall man standing beside the Yuan Circle, although he had guessed in advance that it was Princess Ming who invited him out, but he didn't know what the other party meant.
"I don't know why the prince and the princess invited Weichen to come today?"
The meditation didn't speak, he just came to accompany his princess to go shopping and enjoy the lanterns tonight, and he didn't care about anything else.
Yuan Quanquan raised his lips and smiled, with a hint of cunning in his smile: "It's nothing, it's just that tonight's Lantern Festival invites you to enjoy the lanterns and share the joy of the festival." ”
Murong Zhen's expression was still a little puzzled. Although the facts between him and Princess Ming are innocent, after all, the two of them have passed bad ambiguous remarks, even if the matter has passed now, but one of them is a married princess, and the other is the son of a single official family, and the words of secret contacts are always criticized.
Moreover, she asked him to come out to enjoy the lanterns, won't His Royal Highness King Ming have an opinion? He actually invited him for her?
Murong Zhen couldn't see through the couple a little.
However, after half an hour, he understood why.
"Uncle Huang! Xiaobao! In the bustling crowd, a light figure ran from afar. The little princess Beitang Jing was dressed in men's clothes, with red lips and white teeth, like a handsome young man, followed by a little scholar dressed as a palace maid who was as old as her.
The little princess ran over from a few steps away, and when she ran closer, she saw Murong Zhen standing beside her meditation cultivator, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Zhen, why are you here?" The tone was full of surprise.
"Wechen has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." After seeing the ceremony, he replied, "The prince and the princess invited Weichen to enjoy the lanterns and the Lantern Festival together." Why did the princess leave the palace and still dress up like this? ”
Beitang Jing suddenly jumped to Murong Zhen and stood beside her, expressing her great pleasure to see each other here, but she didn't expect that the meeting between the two of them today was all planned by her imperial aunt, and she thought that everything was a coincidence!
"Today's Lantern Festival, how lively it is outside. The palace is suffocated, so I don't want to stay in the palace, so I asked my father to come out of the palace to play! After speaking, he couldn't help but get started, habitually hugged one of Murong Zhen's arms, and smiled at him with his little head held high, "I have to come out today, otherwise I would have missed the great opportunity to enjoy the lanterns with Brother Zhen." ”
Murong Zhen wanted to pull his hand out, but the little princess was afraid that he would run away, so he didn't let go of it, and he didn't dare to use his strength, for fear of hurting the little princess, and in the end, he didn't pull it out for a long time, and in desperation, he could only say: "Princess, please let go of Weichen, this move is inappropriate." ”
The little princess didn't buy his account at all, "What's wrong?" When I wore women's clothes before, you said that there was a difference between men and women, and it was afraid that people would be criticized when they were seen. But today I am wearing men's clothes, so there is no such thing as men and women not kissing! ”
Murong Zhen: "......"
Yuan Quanquan heard the little princess's words on the side, and silently praised her in his heart.
The little princess couldn't refute what she said, amazing.
