Chapter Thirty-Seven: Burning Yourself
In the side hall, King Yu and Li Ge were chatting with Wen Tao, and Wen Zhen walked in with Jin'er from outside the door.
Wen Zhenxiu's eyebrows flickered, seeing that Xuanyuan seemed to be in a very good mood today, and the mood that was still a little uneasy slowly calmed down.
After all, there are still outsiders, although Zu Weng loves her, he cares about etiquette the most, and bows slightly: "The little girl Wen Zhen has seen Zu Weng!" King Yu, His Royal Highness! ”
Wen Tao looked at Wen Zhen with loving eyes, this girl looked very well-behaved today, and she was in a happy mood, so she beckoned to Wen Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, come and sit." ”
Wen Zhenlian moved slightly, came to Wen Tao and sat down, the corner of her eyes kept glancing at Xuanyuan, and saw her eyebrows stretched, without a trace of coldness.
"How is my cousin doing?"
With the presence of his grandfather, Xuanyuan has always deliberately restrained his temperament, and his grandfather is the person he respects the most in the world.
"It's fine. In a few days, the king of Japan will return to Yuzhou. ”
Wen Zhen's original smile froze on his face, and he muttered, "So fast! ”
Xuanyuan and Li Ge continued to chat with Wen Tao, Wen Zhen sat lonely on the side, they were talking about national affairs, she didn't care, she only remembered that her cousin had vowed to marry her as the queen.
But now a dancing girl has been killed halfway, and with the consent of the emperor, she occupies the position of Princess Yu. Although Zu Weng said that the woman was just a fog barrier set up by her cousin, so that she could practice with peace of mind and wait to become the queen.
Wen Tao saw that Wen Zhen was preoccupied, and the two children should be given the opportunity to be alone.
looked at Li Ge and said, "The prince hasn't seen the training ground of the Wenfu yet, so the old man will take the prince to take a look!" ”
Li Ge is also a transparent person, looked at the expressions of the three people, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes! The old general's mansion is very different from other courtyards. ”
"Of course, the Wen family has been in the army for generations, and they have long been accustomed to using the military camp as their home."
Li Ge supported Wen Tao, and the two of them walked out naturally, Wen Tao watched the door slowly close.
The only beloved granddaughter and grandson in this world, I don't know how long I can protect them, I just hope to watch the two people I love the most sit in that supreme position in my lifetime.
I hope that the Wen family can recast the glory of the past, and return to the glorious and prosperous era, and the pain accumulated on the battlefield over the years, and his time seems to be running out.
Only Wen Zhen and Xuanyuan were left in the room.
Xuanyuan didn't move, his expression was quiet, but his eyes were gradually dyed with frost.
Wen Zhen saw Zu Weng leaving, Ying Ying got up and saluted: "Zu Weng said that the queen has the heart to send Zhen'er to Manhu and relatives, and it is her cousin who resolves the crisis, and Zhen'er thanks her cousin for coming to the rescue." ”
Xuanyuan's eyes lit up, really the one who knows him best in this world is his grandfather, who has the same unyielding stubbornness in his blood, the same ambition, the desire to chase power, and eternal dissatisfaction and comfort, that is a man should have passionate pride. Know and forbear, and wait for the time to move.
Although the Wen family does not have the glorious power of the past, why the mother concubine was murdered by the Wei family back then, all because the Wen family has the strength to compete with the Wen family, if he wants to achieve great things, he still needs the help of the Wen family, and the condition of the Wen family is that Zhen'er sits in the position of the queen.
This was originally part of all the plans, Mu Bangsheng's appearance was just an accident, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the royal heirs.
"What kind of man is he if he can't even protect his own woman!"
Wen Zhen was both surprised and delighted, this was the first time that her cousin was so sure of her identity and recognized the promise between them.
From the time she was eight years old, Zu Weng told her that she would be a queen in the future, and the person she was going to marry was Yuwang Xuanyuan.
This belief has been slowly taking root in her heart, until she can't extricate herself, there is joy but also loss, if she becomes the queen, she will have to serve with three thousand beauties.
At the banquet, I saw that my cousin was very fond of that woman, and my heart was full of jealousy, because Zu Weng had always explained that her cultivation as a queen was tolerance.
There was still a faint jealousy in my heart, and a few thoughts came to mind, but in an instant, I strongly supported the woman's tolerance and generosity.
"Zhen'er is very happy in her heart, no matter how many women her cousin has, as long as she remembers the vow she once made."
From joy to sadness to firmness, all the emotions that flashed in Wen Zhen's eyes were firmly imprinted in the bottom of his eyes, knowing that Wen Zhen was not so generous at all.
She still cares a lot about Mu Bangsang's appearance in her heart, and now Mu Bangshang is still cultivating, a woman's jealousy is very terrible, and she needs to be appeased, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that she will not go to her for trouble.
"Zhen'er is talking about the dancing girl! She was just a fine work sent by the prince to make smoke, and Zhen'er wouldn't even fail to see this. ”
Wen Zhen was overjoyed in his heart, his eyebrows overflowed, Zu Weng guessed correctly, and he knew how his cousin could like a fine work.
"That's great!"
Xuanyuan raised his eyes slightly, and looked out of the window with eyes as lonely as a cold pool, he had solved a big problem for that woman, her body had taken the holy lake water sent by Ge Shuxuan, and her body should be fine. Just need to recuperate for a few days, and then you can set off back to Yuzhou.
It's also time to ask her for the rest of the account books, although those account books are dispensable to him and don't play much role, every time he sees her teeth and claws, his heart is inexplicably happy.
Even he didn't notice that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he saw Mu Bangsheng being tortured by him and struggling to resist.
The originally dark eyes flashed with a cluster of firelight, like the desire of a beast to conquer like seeing its prey, the so-called superior ~ person who controls the life and death of others and controls everything.
Xuanyuan and Li Ge had lunch in Wenfu, and it was rare to get together, the atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious, and the turbulent undercurrent was surging. Xuanyuan was extremely dissatisfied with Uncle Xi's many attempts to interfere with his actions because of his elders, and the relationship between the two has always been not harmonious.
After lunch, the two got into the carriage and headed towards Shangyang Villa.
Mu Bangshang had taken the pill sent by Li Ge, and his body was much more relaxed, and he could walk around the courtyard.
If Yan Jiu hadn't blocked the whip for her, it would be herself who was lying on the couch at the moment, personally smearing Yan Jiu with jade dew, and seeing the hideous wound on her back, she felt even more guilty.
I went to the kitchen to cook a pot of pigeon soup and sent it to Yanjiu's room.
My mother went early, and my father and younger brother took care of her, and her cooking skills were still very good.
Yan Jiu couldn't go out because of the itching pain, I'm afraid that I have to wait for two days, and my heart is already heart~ Itchy is unbearable.
Outside the door, Mu Wanshang pushed the door in, "Sister Yan, I cooked a cup of pigeon soup, which is very good for wound healing." There will be no scars. ”
Yan Jiu was very surprised, she only knew that she was a dancing girl, but she didn't expect to be able to cook soup.
"Let the princess cook herself, and the banquet will be ashamed."
Hearing the word princess, Mu Bangshang always felt a chill in her heart, but she couldn't take it seriously, but she couldn't refute it.
"Sister Yan is what I should be ashamed of, if it weren't for Sister Yan in the Imperial Garden, I am afraid that I would be killed by the princess of the barbarian hu."
"That's Yan Jiu's duty."
Mu Bangshang had already scooped a big bowl and handed it over, "Bangshang only remembers that it was Sister Yan who saved me, since it is a life-saving grace, I can't help but repay it, this pigeon soup Yan Sister must drink, I boiled a big pot and drank it while it was hot." ”
Xuanyuan took Li Ge and Ye Zheng back to the other garden, and saw Mu Bangshang holding a food box in his hand, and frowned in displeasure, where did the maidservants go? She was still sick, so she ran around.
Li Ge sniffed slightly, and a faint aroma entered his nose, "What kind of smell is this?" ”
"It tastes like pigeon soup." Ye Zheng said.
Xuanyuan s extremely gloomy eyes were dim, where did this pigeon soup come from in the prince's mansion, stupid woman, could it be that the carrier pigeon that delivered the news was boiled and eaten.
strode to follow, Ye Zheng and Li Ge saw Xuanyuan's gloomy face, and hurriedly followed.
Seeing Mu Bangsheng enter Yanjiu's room, the three of them heard the conversation between the two women at the door, Xuanyuan recklessly covered the moon between his eyebrows, and pushed the door directly.
Yan Jiu was drinking soup, and when he saw King Yu coming, he choked on a mouthful of soup in his throat and almost choked, "Ahem!" Rajah! ”
Mu Bangshang hurriedly patted her back, and glared at Xuanyuan coldly, "This is a woman's boudoir, even if it is a prince, you can't trespass so unauthorized!" ”
Xuanyuan held her white ~ Hui Hao wrist very roughly, and stared at her coldly, "Where did the pigeon come from." "Know that every single one of his pigeons counts.
Mu Bangshang only felt that his wrist was about to be broken by him, and Li Ge hurriedly pleaded: "Lord, Miss Mu should be unintentional." ”
Of course, Mu Bangshang knew the importance of carrier pigeons, and said angrily: "In the prince's heart, is Mu Bangshang such a stupid woman?" ”
"Aren't you?"
"This pigeon was brought by me with a whistle, and it is a pigeon from Qianjiaoge." Qiu Tong once taught them how to lure the pigeons of the Thousand Jiaoge to deliver the message.
With such an answer, Xuanyuan was still satisfied, and slowly loosened his imprisoned wrist, which had become a little red and swollen.
Mu Wansheng frowned coldly, and resentment was strong in his heart, "Now the prince can go out!" ”
The room became quiet, and Xuanyuan didn't leave, looking at the steaming pigeon soup on the table.
I didn't expect this woman to be able to make soup, she was not hungry at all after lunch just now, and after glancing at Li Ge, he must also want to taste this woman's craftsmanship.
"Ye Zheng, go get two spoons." Commanded.
Everyone was stunned, and Ye Zheng immediately understood and retreated.
Mu Bangshang was very surprised, "This soup is for Sister Yan's body." ”
Xuanyuan saw her reluctance, "It's hard to drink!" Can't swallow! Mu Bangshang was choked back by King Yu's cold words.
"No, it's delicious!" Only Yan Jiu drank the soup, and Yan Jiu was busy defending Mu Bangshang.
After a while, Ye Zheng took a spoon over, put two bowls out, and brought it to Li Ge and Xuanyuan in front of him. This soup is boiled for Yanjiu, so you don't have to worry about poisoning, and you don't need to be tempted by silver needles.
I tasted it carefully, the heat was well mastered, the materials were very sufficient, the taste was also very delicious, and there was a little bitterness of Chinese medicine.
Li Ge counted the Chinese medicine flavors added to the soup, and the medicinal properties did not conflict with each other, which was very beneficial to the body.
Xuanyuan put down the spoon recklessly, "It seems that your body is almost better, and when you come to my room in a while, we should also settle the accounts." ”
Mu Bangshang knew that he would not be able to escape sooner or later, the emperor's birthday banquet had ended, and she was begging for the account book, which would be handed over to him sooner or later.
"Yes!"
Seeing that her voice was very low, she looked reluctant.
Xuanyuan was not finished yet, and continued: "Also, a cup of pigeon soup from Qianjiao Pavilion is sent to my room every day. ”
Mu Bangshang hated the root of his teeth, both of them were in great danger, and the pigeons of Qianjiao Pavilion were also marked. It's really a fire, King Yu's carrier pigeon can't be moved, it's a matter of planning. I can only get it outside.
Xuanyuan caught a glimpse of Mu Wansheng's hideous face out of the corner of his eyes, and naturally knew that she would not rashly move the pigeons of Qianjiaoge again, it was nothing more than to go outside to get it, and he would not drink her stewed soup again, there must be no intention for this bowl, it is enough to drink it once, but it is just an excuse to call her to the room every day.
