Chapter 121: A Change of Mind (I)
The next morning, the sky was bright, Yu Wenye cleaned up under the service of Xiao Guizi and other attendants, and stepped out of the study without seeing Bai Muguan's figure, and was greeted by a weeping face of Hibiscus.
Yu Wenye frowned slightly, not in a very happy mood: "What are you doing here in the morning?" ”
had to accept her as a good woman to take care of the dignity of the Chengen Mansion and his mother, which did not mean that he would take care of her. Poor Tong Yao is alone in the empty room, and she is still a virgin.
Tong Yao was obviously prepared, and walked forward quickly with a food box in one hand, and bent his knees to greet him like a cloud: "Your Highness got up so early, you must not have had breakfast yet." This is the concubine's own hand-made breakfast, Your Highness can taste it? ”
When she finished speaking, she realized that Yu Wenye's sword eyebrows were completely wrinkled, and the corners of her lips that were unilaterally provoked were cold: "I don't have an appetite, you take it back and eat it yourself." ”
The stupid woman in front of him wouldn't even please him, and she was no better than the boring princess. Ever since he had been poisoned and murdered before, and then he had met the damned palace maid Yun Xi with a coquettish drug, he silently vowed never to eat food from unknown sources again. Even if the breakfast in the food box in Tong Yao's hand was clean, he wouldn't touch it.
Tong Yao's eyes crossed the clearly visible grievances and grievances, and he muttered softly: "Your Highness is so ruthless, the concubine went to the small kitchen to make breakfast for you before dawn, don't you even want to look at it?" My aunt said that you like to eat crab roe and egg crispy meat soup and jujube paste cake, and the concubine has made it many times according to what she has learned, and she has not felt satisfied with it until today. ”
The beautiful woman with a face like a hibiscus stood in front of him and poured out her grievances, tears rolling in her red eyes, but any man would not be unmoved. It's a pity that Yu Wenye is an exception!
"No one asked you to cook!" Coldly dropping a sentence, Yu Wenye turned around and planned to brush his sleeves away.
It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is arrogant and indifferent like ice that is difficult to melt, but she doesn't believe it! She relied on Queen Tong to marry into the East Palace as the crown prince Liangdi is only the first step, how to spend the rest of her life is in her own hands, no one can help her. She, a noble girl who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, learned cooking skills for him a few days ago, and thought that he would pity an elegant woman who washed her hands and made soup for him, but she didn't expect to get these cold and hard words now.
The woman behind her asked unwillingly: "Is Your Highness going to Qingyun Pavilion?" I advised His Royal Highness to die as soon as possible, and my aunt said that she would never allow Bai Muguan to marry into the East Palace! ”
Yu Wenye's footsteps stopped, his back was obviously frozen, and his body seemed to be scattering cold air, which made Tong Yao, who had the courage to be unwilling, tremble. He looked back suddenly, strode over, and pinched her slender chin with such force that it seemed to crush her jawbone.
The grievances in Tong Yao's eyes had not disappeared, and they added panic and panic, as if they were about to fall into the hell of Shura. For a moment, she even felt that her jaw was pinched, and for the first time, she was so afraid of a person, afraid of his cold, sharp eyes that could kill.
Until his fingers were slightly loose, her knees were weak and she subconsciously knelt on the ground: "Your Highness spares her life, the concubine is speechless for a while, and the concubine knows that she is wrong!" ”
"If you dare to have a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless and unrighteous and not saving you face." As the words fell, he saw a red shadow coming from a distance, his face full of anger and silent concealment, not wanting her to detect his anger.
Entering the palace today, Bai Muguan deliberately wore a rose-red wide-sleeved gold-edged Lingxiao skirt, which was gorgeous and eye-catching. The green silk is half-curled into a crescent moon embellished with rubies, the hairstyle is more grand, and the face of the thin powder is unique.
"Keep Your Highness waiting." The girl smiled quietly, shy and playful.
Her smile pierced Tong Yao's heart.
"It's not too late to enter the palace, let's go." At this moment, Yu Wenye smiled lightly, and he was like two people just now. After saying that, he took Bai Muguan's hand affectionately, and his fingers were interlocked.
Tong Yao, who was regarded as air, froze in place, his jade hand relaxed, and the food box fell to the ground at once. The sound of the mahogany lacquered food box touching the ground made her heart tremble.
It turned out that she had been fooled before, and even suspected that the rumors from the outside world were false, and gradually lost her vigilance. On the night she entered the mansion, Yu Wenye deliberately stayed in the Mulan Pavilion where Zheng Yuan lived, and then repeatedly showed his preference for Zheng Yuan, but in fact, it was to attract her attention. She was annoyed by Zheng Yuan, who was "favored" and was an eyesore, so naturally she didn't have time to trouble Qingyun Pavilion. Now he is about to take Bai Muguan to Suzhou, and when he returns to Beijing, I am afraid that he will give Bai Muguan a name.
No way! She resolutely can't sit still! If Bai Muguan has a reputation, she wants to win Yu Wenye's heart in this life. But what about her? They will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, and she must seize the last opportunity of the day......
……
It is very convenient for Yuwen Yegui to enter and leave the palace for the prince, and he can enter the palace at any time without a summons or a will. Although Bai Muguan did not have this privilege, no one dared to stop him all the way to follow the prince.
Walking to the front of the Guilan Palace, Yu Wenye said: "I will go to Kunning Palace to bid farewell to my mother, and Wanguan will go in by myself." ”
Bai Muguan looked up at the three golden characters in front of him, and couldn't help but smile: "You have sent me to the door, go and get busy with you." ”
He also smiled: "It's okay, I watched you walk in." ”
Behind him, Xiao Guizi and the others resisted the urge to laugh and secretly laughed.
Today was not an invitation from Yuwen Murou, and Linlang did not wait early to greet her outside the hall. When the palace maid entered the palace and spread the news, Yuwen Murou knew that Bai Muguan was coming. speculated about her intentions, and finally ignited a fire in her heart, like dead ashes.
Bai Muguan's expression was as usual, and he smiled and called: "Princess." ”
Since she had seen Shen Yu in Qinglong Temple, she hesitated and couldn't make up her mind after coming back, and after thinking about it again and again yesterday, she finally made up her mind to come and tell Yuwen Murou the truth.
After all, Yuwen Murou is not young, and her marriage emperor will not delay for too long. Bai Muguan and Yu Wenye went to Suzhou to return undecided, at least it will take two or three months, at most half a year. During this period, if the Holy Decree grants marriage, I am afraid that Yuwen Murou will cause a storm if she refuses to give up.
As the saying goes, help people to the end. Bai Muguan has the heart to persuade Yuwen Murou to let go of her obsession and change her mind, hoping that she will also find a happiness of her own, instead of unrequited love Shen Yu.
Yuwen Murou was excited to see her in front of her, and because of the next conversation, she had to order the palace maid standing next to her: "All step down, no one is allowed to come in without the permission of this princess." ”
The palace ladies should say yes in unison.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the hall.
Yuwen Murou poured the tea herself, her snow-white sleeves were lightly swinging, and her slender fingers were holding the mutton fat white jade tea cup, and Bai Muguan hurriedly took it and thanked her.
Bai Muguan tasted it and found that the entrance was slightly sour, and the aftertaste was quiet and sweet. I couldn't help but smile and asked, "Dare to ask the princess what kind of tea is this?" ”
"Hawthorn maple leaf tea."
Hawthorn maple tea comes from the people, and most of them are drunk by the people in cloth who can't afford to buy good tea. Tang Tang and Princess Mu even drank this kind of tea?
Looking at Bai Muguan's stunned expression, Yuwen Murou explained indifferently: "Although I live in the deep palace, I also know that the disaster in Zhejiang is serious, and the treasury is not abundant, so if I can save it, I will save it." People are displaced and have no stomach, how can I drink a thousand taels of tea? ”
In just two sentences, Bai Muguan was moved. has a new understanding of the cold and arrogant princess in front of me.
Looking closely, Yuwen Murou has never worn those silk satins, and the simple and elegant snow-white light gauze skirt also makes her as beautiful as a fairy.
This kind of her is a surprising match with Shen Yu in white clothes in her memory.
Bai Muguan lowered his head a little ashamedly, and suddenly felt that the expensive dress on his body was too extravagant. Although it represents Yu Wenye's favor, it is also out of place.
"Mu Guan, will you help me test his mind?" After asking, Yuwen Murou stared at her worriedly.
A thousand words were blocked in his throat, Bai Muguan was ruthless, and said euphemistically: "The princess is kind and beautiful, but Shen Gongzi is not blessed." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Yuwen Murou. She seemed to have lost the last hope in her life, and all kinds of emotions flashed on her beautiful and self-contained face, which made people overwhelmed. There are disappointments, sadness, incomprehension, and even a hint of relief......
From beginning to end, she was self-inflicted! With her intelligence, she should have known that he didn't have her in his heart, but he had a bit of fantasy and infatuation.
These days, she listened to Bai Muguan's words and tried her best to avoid this matter in front of her father, both to delay and to try not to anger the Son of Heaven again. There were still a few quarrels between the father and daughter.
Bai Muguan held her cold hand, tried to convey the warmth of the palm to her, and comforted her softly: "The princess let go of her obsession and promised Her Majesty to choose the horse for you to try another world." ”
"Don't, I don't!" Tears overflowed in her eyes in an instant, and she couldn't care about the gaffe, "I am happy with Shen Yu, except for him, I will not marry anyone!" ”
Bai Muguan took out a brocade handkerchief, wiped the tears on both sides of her cheeks, and said, "Princess, why is this difficult?" If he is of the same mind as you, you might as well work together to strive for happiness. But he doesn't have you in his heart, even if you get married, not to mention the relationship between father and daughter, you won't be happy for the rest of your life! What I said is contrary to my words, and the princess knows the righteousness and will not fail to understand. ”
A girl of the same age, looking at Yuwen Murou, Bai Muguan felt very lucky, glad that the person she liked happened to like her.
"Do you know why my father is in a hurry to marry me? It was the queen who repeatedly urged and hinted in front of her father, originally my father didn't want me to marry early, and he used to say that he would keep me until I was eighteen years old. Ling Fengxu hid my thoughts very deeply, if it weren't for the crown prince, my father wouldn't have known about it. After enduring and forbearing, Yuwen Murou finally didn't say anything too ugly.
She is the princess born by Concubine Chen, and Yu Wenye is the prince bred by Queen Tong, and the relationship between brother and sister is not good or bad, neither close nor close. I didn't expect him to intervene in her marriage! When she unexpectedly learned that it was because Yu Wenye told the emperor that Ling Fengxu had a deep affection for her, she almost fainted.
Bai Muguan didn't mind her dissatisfaction with Yu Wenye, on the contrary, she blinked her eyes wide, and said half-jokingly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Ling have a personal relationship, he has the good intention of helping his friends to complete a marriage, you can't live up to your imperial brother." ”
Yuwen Murou glared at a certain girl rather angrily, the pain of sadness and depression in her heart quietly dissipated, and she changed the topic calmly: "You will leave tomorrow to go to Suzhou with the imperial brother, right?" ”
Bai Muguan said truthfully: "The official silver and official grain sent by the imperial court to Zhezhou for disaster relief were robbed, and a county order died, not to mention, Dai County Shou left his post without permission. His Highness was worried about the victims and had to go there in person. I came to the palace today to see you to say goodbye. ”
"You are smart and capable, I think my father has recognized you as a daughter-in-law, otherwise I wouldn't let you travel with the prince." Yuwen Murou teased her, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
"The princess is talking nonsense," Bai Muguan suddenly blushed and forcibly quibbled, "I am His Highness's courtier!" ”
"Oh?" Yuwen Mu's eyes narrowed, and he said meaningfully, "There are countless military generals in the Chinese court, is there a lack of you as a courtier?" It is clearly the beauty of the father's adulthood! ”
At this point, she sighed to herself. In the end, the emperor is more partial to Yu Wenye, and is willing to fulfill Yu Wenye's beauty, but he refuses to fulfill her.
"I heard what you said."
