Since Bai Muguan lived in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always avoided women like snakes and scorpions, actually ran to Qingyun Pavilion when he had a little free time. In the name of hospitality, he often knocks chess pieces with Bai Muguan and drops lanterns, drinks and chats about things. At first, she was a little restrained and scrupled, but after slowly getting acquainted, the two talked about the situation in the DPRK and China from ancient and modern anecdotes, and talked about the way of using troops from ancient books. In the study, they often each hold a book and fight for red faces, look at each other and smile when they don't give in to each other, and soon turn their anger into joy.

I prefer to test my skills in the autumn afternoon when the wind and sun are beautiful, and even spur the horse out to hunt in the suburbs of Beijing, and get along very harmoniously and intimately.

The capital was like a sieve with a breezy wind, but over time, rumors began to appear, but I was afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince would fall in love with the heroines of the Bai family. The gossip struck quickly like a flood beast, pushing Bai Muguan to the peak again. Many young ladies who are waiting for the word boudoir are secretly crying and sad, why would the prince, who has always been cold and unruly, suddenly favor a wild girl who only knows how to dance with knives and guns? His Majesty the Emperor in the palace pretended not to know, and occasionally a few eventful imperial histories were also stranded, and he showed a clear attitude and let them go.

No matter how lively the noise was outside, it didn't affect Bai Muguan's mood at all.

On this day, a girl in a bright military uniform held a sword in her hand and practiced martial arts in the back garden in the autumn wind. With a quick flip of her wrist, the longsword pierced through the windy grass with lightning speed, and in an instant the fallen leaves gathered.

Looking at it from afar, it is really a picture of a beauty like a jade sword and a rainbow.

With a burst of applause, Yu Wenye's handsome face came into view.

Bai Muguan hurriedly put away the hilt of his sword, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Highness, when are you here?" ”

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows, as if he was deliberately funny, and said jokingly: "Beauty dances with a sword, how can this prince not stop and watch?" This beauty holds a long sword and blends in with the scenery of the back garden, complementing each other very beautifully. ”

To be honest, since he fought with Bai Muguan before, he praised her talent in martial arts from the bottom of his heart. It's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, even if she started practicing martial arts at the age of five, it's only been ten years since she was today. But her neat equestrian skills are outstanding, and she should not be underestimated.

"Even if I practice diligently for a few years, it will still be difficult to beat you." Bai Muguan laughed at himself regretfully.

Yu Wenye took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, personally wiped the dense sweat on her forehead, and then said with relief: "There is a natural disparity in physical strength between men and women, and I am six or seven years older than you, how can we compare?" ”

She is not small, and she wants to compete with him, which is really cute.

The girl blinked her big eyes, her dark pupils were like the eyes of a deer, and she disagreed: "My father taught me since I was a child, although I am a woman, I can't despise myself, and you men can do the same things as Mu Guan." ”

"General Bai is really different, so the daughter he taught is not inferior to his eyebrows." Saying that, Yu Wenye naturally stretched out his hand and led her towards the pavilion not far away, "Recently, your swordsmanship has improved a lot, and it is very hard to practice for a long time, so let's take a sip of tea and rest." ”

Bai Muguan drank all the teacups he handed over, and the maid who had eyes next to him hurriedly filled it for her. She has a hearty temperament like a man, and is used to drinking tea and drinking, unlike ordinary ladies who pretend to be reserved.

After she drank three cups in a row to quench her thirst, Yu Wenye opened her mouth again: "Guanguan carefully practices martial arts every day, and studies military books at night, but I am afraid that I will disdain to settle in the boudoir and want to guard the rivers and mountains for my father and emperor in the future?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Bai Muguan was blunt and very honest with him, "My father has already written to Your Majesty that if Beiling Kingdom dares to raise troops to disturb the peace of the border, Your Majesty will allow me to lead the troops alone." In recent years, the small border countries have bowed down to the Tianxi Dynasty in order to seek the protection of heaven, but only the rabble of the monarchs and ministers of the Beiling Kingdom still dare to have wolf ambitions! However, Your Highness can rest assured, one day I will lead my troops to level the territory of Beiling Kingdom, so that I can be worthy of the soldiers who have been guarding Mobei for many years. The confrontation between the two armies is like a chessboard game, and if I am the hand of the chess piece, I am confident that I will win in the end! ”

Yu Wenye half-closed his eyes thoughtfully. The girl in front of her is not informal, and her smile is bright and confident. She has a frank temperament, which is quite to his liking. It's just that she has the pride and ambition to look at the world between her words, and regards the bloody battlefield as a chessboard game that is bound to win, and it will never be a thing in the pool in the future. If Bai Muguan was given to marry anyone in the royal family or the clan, for him, I am afraid that he would become a big or small threat.

Thinking of this, he looked sideways at her light and beautiful face, her eyebrows and eyes were radiant, and she was so beautiful that she was heroic. She is so radiant, just like the person he fantasizes about the center.

In the private relationship of her children, Yu Wenye likes her. In the situation between the DPRK and China, he must also get her.

"It is commendable that Guanguan has this loyal and patriotic heart." Yu Wenye hooked the corners of his lips and asked with a smile, "Beiling Kingdom in Mobei and Anguo in Xijing, these two projectile places are bound to be won by the prince!" I don't know if you want to help? ”

His question was subtle, and it fell into the ears of the gifted and intelligent girl, and there were a few thoughts. However, Bai Muguan looked at him suspiciously, and asked softly, "What did Your Highness say this?" ”

Yu Wenye didn't answer her immediately, but reached out to clasp her white wrist, and then took advantage of her unpreparedness to encircle her into his arms.

"Ah......h

In an instant, the bodies of the two were so close together. Through the brocade clothes that are not thin or thick, they are so close that even the breathing sound of each other's breathing that has become particularly rapid because of nervousness can be heard clearly. The four eyes intersected, Yu Wenye's eyes were like a sea of stars, and he was staring at her affectionately at the moment, unable to take his eyes off it.

"Guanguan," he whispered to her, his arms tightly hugged her and could not break free, his voice was low and gentle, "Although I am the prince of the East Palace, one person is above ten thousand people, but I am hated by thousands of people, how many people do you know who want to put me to death?" Can you understand my sorrow and loneliness? Behind the scenery of power and dignity is always careful to guard against the enemy, but if you relax for a moment, you will never recover. Born in the emperor's family, where will there really be flesh and blood? Behind the father's kindness, filial piety, brotherhood, and brotherhood, there is a mask that everyone is pretending, and a ball of harmony is nothing more than a trick for the father to see. The courtiers at the bottom are either flattering and flattering, or pretending to be snakes, or calculating people's hearts, and sometimes even I don't know who to trust? I was afraid of being alone, even though I had always been ...... Until I met you, Guanguan, it was my happiest time since you lived in the East Palace, you are different from them, you are a person worthy of my sincerity. ”

Bai Muguan listened carefully to every word he said, and she actually pitied him from the bottom of her heart. Although the word "mercy" is so ridiculous! As the concubine of Queen Tong, I am afraid that Yu Wenye has been the target of everyone since he was a child, and he doesn't know how many open guns and dark arrows he has dodged to grow up. If he wants to inherit the Cullinan Dynasty, the pain, pressure, and hatred he endured can definitely be understood by many people.

Therefore, the world only knows that the prince is indifferent, arrogant, and not close to women.

Only she understood that when she was close to him, everything was so easy and simple. No matter how arrogant and strong he is, he always has a soft and fragile side, such as at this moment.

An indescribable emotion quickly fermented in the air, and finally turned into a girl and said firmly: "Brother Ye, I understand you." ”

Understand your loneliness, understand your hardship, and understand your difficulty.

She looked up at his young and handsome face, and stroked his cheek uncontrollably, and the warm currents of her fingertips crept into his usually cold and arrogant heart.

And these five words she said today proved in many years to come that she really understood him.

Gently covering her fingers, Yu Wenye smiled knowingly: "Guanguan, I want to find a soulmate." ”

The girl curled her lips and smiled, and the smile spread to the bottom of her eyes: "Then I am." You are proud of the world, and I am willing to fight for you to the end and never give up! ”

"That's very good." As he spoke, he twisted up a few strands of green silk hanging from her sideburns, and her eyes were as deep as a pool of water, rippling with layers of laughter.

At this moment, Xiangyun walked quickly to the pavilion, and Fu Shen said, "Please say hello to Your Highness." Miss, the crown princess invites you to go to Qiushui Pavilion. ”

Yu Wenye hooked his thin lips at her, and his slender fingers reluctantly moved away from her soft body, and said indifferently on his face: "Go to Wanguan quickly." I want to try Mobei's barbecue and milk wine, the ingredients have been ordered to be prepared by Wang Quan and sent to Qingyun Pavilion, but tonight I am waiting for you to show off your skills. ”

"I learned the roast mutton from the princesses of those tribes on the grassland, and I guarantee that His Royal Highness will taste it and praise it." After speaking, Bai Muguan couldn't hold back the emotions in his eyes, and still smiled sweetly on the surface.

Seeing her back when she turned to leave, Yu Wenye actually stroked her palms and laughed.

He knew very well that he had moved his heart.

After Bai Muguan walked away, the personal secret guard who had been quietly lurking in the shadows walked out, as respectful as ever.

I saw Yu Wenye's hand holding the white jade teacup stop in mid-air, and his eyes kept looking at the place where Bai Muguan had just disappeared in the distance, and his expression was completely unusual. Wuyi had already guessed what his master couldn't hide, so he tentatively spoke: "My subordinates dare to ask, is His Highness emotionally attached to Miss Bai?" ”

Yu Wenye turned his mind around at this time, glanced at him calmly, and then joked uncharacteristically: "This prince is also a man, can't a man like a woman?" ”

"Of course you can, it's just ......" Wuyi hurriedly laughed along, but the concerns in his heart made him stop talking.

Yu Wenye blew the foam in the teacup and drank it slowly: "What do you want to say, forgive you for not being guilty but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes." Wu Yi quickly typed the draft, and then carefully considered, "It is natural for His Highness to favor Miss Bai, but you have married the crown princess, and the crown princess is a cousin who has a deep relationship with Miss Bai. The subordinates are afraid that Miss Bai's pride is unwilling to live in the side room, and General Bai has an extraordinary reputation in Mobei and even the imperial court, but I am afraid that many people have already targeted Miss Bai. Besides, His Majesty was somewhat jealous of the general's military power, so he made up his mind to keep Miss Bai in the capital. The relationship between the emperor's father and son has always been delicate and the most difficult to get along with, and his subordinates are worried that you will be burned because of this, so wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

After hearing this, Yu Wenye just pulled the corners of his mouth without mind, as if he hadn't heard it, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said coldly: "The person this prince likes, I want to see who dares to fight?" ”

Wu Yang: "......"
