Early the next morning, Yu Wenye hurried to Qingyun Pavilion when he returned to the East Palace without caring about changing clothes and eating, and Bai Muguan happened to finish freshening up at this time.

She was wearing a flowing blue dress, the green silk was partially tied up by a carved hosta, and the ends of the hair draped behind her head were slightly curled, and her naturally beautiful face was not stained with fat powder.

Yu Wenye carefully looked at her from top to bottom and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure she was unharmed. Not long after he returned to his study yesterday, he came to report to him that Qingyun Pavilion had entered the assassin, and if it weren't for the inconvenience of night, he would have come to see her at that time. Therefore, I tossed and turned all night and did not sleep, and I was absent-minded until this morning.

Xiangyun was about to help Bai Muguan Bucai, and when he saw Yu Wenye walking inside, he couldn't help but wonder: "Your Highness came to see Miss so early today, could it be something?" ”

Bai Muguan didn't say that Xiangyun didn't know that there was a black-clothed man breaking into Qingyun Pavilion last night.

Yu Wenye glanced at Xiangyun and a few other personal maids, and ordered in a deep voice: "You guys retreat first." ”

All the maids hurriedly retired.

"I'm standing here so well, you don't have to worry." Seeing his anxious appearance just now, Bai Muguan couldn't help laughing.

Yu Wenye stared at her and didn't speak, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Bai Muguan was stunned, but he didn't break free. She is young and vigorous, and she thinks she is quite good, and she doesn't know how many civil and military officials die in the capital every year. Assassination is a word that makes people hear it, and life is fragile and fleeting.

For example, the official Shangshu who used to be a heavy weight in the court was destroyed overnight, just because he made too many enemies, and even the emperor couldn't find out the troubled waters, and finally had no choice but to do it.

When she first arrived, she thought that only the battle between the two armies was a pile of wolf smoke and bones, but she didn't know that the real battlefield was in this prosperous capital, and the ups and downs of the eunuchs behind the struggle for power and profit. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow.

"Guanguan, Guanguan......" he breathed in a low voice, calling her over and over again, the magnetic voice lingering above her head.

Yu Wenye hugged her for a long time before letting go of her, the corners of his mouth rose a little, and her eyes were all reflected in her eyes like a sea of stars.

"From today onwards, the guards around Qingyun Pavilion will be doubled." He said calmly.

In fact, he knew that the person who shot last night didn't really want to assassinate Bai Muguan, but was trying to get to the bottom of it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get rid of it easily. After all, the person in front of her is not a simple girl, behind her is her father, Bai Zhanyi, the god of war of the Tianxi Dynasty, and the military power of the 200,000 army in Mobei. Since ancient times, the allure of military power is the greatest!

She gently removed his left hand that was placed on her waist, winked playfully and said, "Brother Ye, it's not proper to be bumped into like this." ”

Although she is not a noblewoman in the capital who grew up bound by the etiquette of the boudoir, she has to take care of the respect of the identity of the person in front of her, he is the prince of the dynasty, and his reputation is very important.

Yu Wenye lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, but walked to the table of the Eight Immortals to personally help her with the dishes, and asked meaningfully: "Do you know that your father doesn't want you to go back to Mobei?" ”

Bai Muguan nodded, followed by a sigh: "Your Majesty's holy will is unpredictable, and as a courtier, you can only follow it carefully." ”

"If Wanguan is willing, it may not be a bad thing to stay in the capital forever, stay by my side, I will protect you." After that, Yu Wenye watched with interest every slight change in her expression, and at the same time picked up a plate of golden fried milky cheese buns and put it in front of her.

Bai Muguan spit out his fragrant tongue and said half-jokingly: "Didn't Your Highness take a fancy to me?" Or are you worried that I was robbed by His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Yu Wenye knew that it was just a joke, but he still frowned faintly unhappily, and asked quietly: "Could it be that which imperial brother do you fall in love with?" ”

The girl sneered, rolled her eyes and gave it to him, then lowered her head and ate the milky cheese bun.

In addition to a plate of four milky cheese buns, there is also a bowl of crab roe beef soup, a plate of mung bean jade cake, and a plate of rose vegetable spring rolls.

Bai Muguan naturally couldn't eat so much, so he pretended to be polite and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" If you don't dislike it, you can eat it together. ”

"Since General Xiaobai doesn't dislike Prince Ben, then Prince Ben is not welcome." After that, Yu Wenye really started the chopsticks unceremoniously.

After getting along for so long, there is an important factor in his liking for Bai Muguan, that is, when he is alone with her, he can take off his disguise and relax for a while. There is no need to follow those etiquette rules too rigidly and dogmatically, for example, there is no need to call someone in to serve breakfast at this time, he can feast happily, and he does not have to care about the image of the prince of a country at all. The girl in front of him can relax his tense nerves, and she invisibly gives people an incomparable affinity, which is incomparable to those ladies who abide by etiquette.

Until the two of them finished breakfast, no one dared to come in and disturb them. Just as they were discussing whether they should go to the outskirts of Beijing to ride horses, the chief steward Wang Quan came to Qingyun Pavilion to do business according to the rules of small steps.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are here to visit."

"Oh? They're so fast, I'm afraid they're coming at you. A sneer flashed in Yu Wenye's eyes, and then he turned his head and waited for Bai Muguan's decision.

Whether she sees it or not, it doesn't matter.

This was expected by Bai Muguan. Yesterday's Hundred Flowers Banquet for the ladies had just ended, and several princes couldn't wait to come and see the beauty today. Presumably, the fact that she made Shangguan Xiyue planted on the ground and couldn't get up has spread all over the capital. I don't know if most people will say that she is savage and arrogant, or that her kung fu is worthy of her reputation? Anyway, let them talk about it, she has to be at ease.

Thinking of this, she smiled: "Since the two royal highnesses are coming at me, if I don't shirk it, wouldn't it be plain and unprovoked gossip?" I'll go to my sister's place first, and I'll let Her Highness arrange it later. ”

Yu Wenye quietly praised her in his heart, amazing. Knowing that everyone who came had their own ideas and was not well-intentioned, she not only wanted to see it, but also saw it so happily!

As for her going to Ye Shiying first, it is also reasonable, after all, Bai Muguan is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and it is inconvenient to go to see a foreign man. What's more, the identities of these two foreign men are both princes, and if she goes recklessly, I am afraid that she will be suspected of ill-intentionedness.

Yu Wenye bowed his head at her, and then instructed Wang Quan: "You let them go to the front hall to wait for the prince." ”

The king hurriedly responded.

It's just that Yu Wenye didn't rush to the front hall, and after leaving Qingyun Pavilion, he returned to the study to deal with a few official documents handed over by the military department, and then slowly prepared to change clothes.

took off the cumbersome and luxurious prince's court robe and the nine-bead gold crown, and put on a cyan brocade robe embroidered with silver thread and ink and lotus, and the black black hair was tied up with a jade crown. The angular and handsome facial features, and the nobility of the natural king, seem to make people feel awe.

When he walked to the front hall in a hurry, the eldest prince Yu Wencheng and the third prince Yu Wenjing both had unkind faces, and whoever was stupid would be angry if they waited so long. What's more, in terms of age order, they are all Yu Wenye's brothers.

"Let the two royal brothers wait for a long time." Yu Wenye opened his mouth to greet with an apologetic face.

Yu Wencheng snorted lightly and answered coldly: "You are entangled in all things for the prince, so it is okay to ask this king and the third brother to wait for you all day." ”

"What the eldest brother said is extremely true. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to share his father's worries and do his work, and we shouldn't have come to bother, but yesterday I heard an interesting story that I wanted to share with His Royal Highness the Prince. Compared with Yu Wencheng, the third prince Yu Wenjing smiled gently, and his words were much more restrained. After all, he is just an unfavored prince from a humble background, and he is neither a grandson nor a long-term prince.

Yu Wenye looked curious: "Oh? I don't know what an interesting story it is, but it is worth telling the two brothers in person. ”

Yuwen Cheng was just about to speak, but unexpectedly, a maid came in quickly to report: "The crown princess and Miss Bai are here." ”

"Yo, before this king and the third brother have time to mention her, this Miss Bai will send it to the door first." As he spoke, Yuwen Cheng sneered.

"What do you say about the eldest brother?" Yu Wenye's cold eyes suddenly swept away, the disgust in his eyes was concealed just right, but the cold in all directions could deter Yu Wencheng.

In Yu Wencheng's impression, the prince has never been interested in women, so much so that he secretly ridiculed him for perhaps a broken sleeve! Now that she is willing to put Bai Muguan in her eyes, is it also because she likes her father's military power and prestige in the army?

With a gust of fragrant wind entering his nose, I saw Ye Shiying and Bai Muguan slowly walking into the flower hall. The two sisters are both scorching, which can be called the posture of the country and the city. In an instant, Yu Wencheng couldn't help but squint his eyes, and secretly swallowed the surging saliva. thinks that the most beautiful concubine in his house is just a façade, neither Ye Shiying's Rulan temperament that reads poetry and books, nor Bai Muguan's heroic and charming. There are countless beauties in the world, but it is difficult to reach one thousandth of the two people in front of you.

How can these two beauties all be cheaper than Yu Wenye? Yu Wencheng is not convinced!

Today, Ye Shiying was dressed very dignified and beautiful, but seeing her demeanor elegantly, she blessed herself and said: "Your Highness, the concubine heard that the two imperial brothers came to visit, thinking that although Mu Wan enjoyed the grace of the emperor for the imperial court, he didn't know the two imperial brothers. So he was in a hurry to bring her to meet her, and hoped that His Highness would forgive her sins. ”

The faint smile on Yu Wenye's face concealed danger: "It's okay, the two imperial brothers are afraid that they also want to see the demeanor of the heroine." ”

Bai Muguan was still dressed early in the morning, without powder, but with a bright complexion, the dazzling beauty of the girl made the eyes of the two princes who were accustomed to seeing the fat swallow thin brighten. She smiled kindly, and bowed her hand without humility or arrogance: "Mu Wan meets the two royal highnesses." ”

At this time, Yu Wencheng had already restrained his greedy gaze when admiring the beauty, changed to a condescending posture as always, and looked at Bai Muguan again with a scrutinizing attitude.

Beauty is beautiful, but unfortunately the stubborn pride in the eyes is obvious, and the temperament is not soft enough.

As for Yu Wenjing, he praised her with a smile: "The white girl looks like a spring peach in March, and going out may make the world's junjie obsessed and bend her waist." I can't imagine that you can carry a sword and cross a horse and fight in blood, which is really amazing. ”

Bai Muguan also said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise from His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but Your Highness must not judge people by their appearance." ”

It's not her fault that she looks bright and beautiful, is it possible that she can't go into battle to kill the enemy because of beauty?

They looked at her, and she was also paying careful attention to the two princes they met for the first time. The eldest prince Yu Wencheng's appearance is not very similar to the emperor, and his face, eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his biological mother Lin Guifei. The round face has no edges and corners, and although he is tall, the figure that began to grow at a young age is not beautiful.

I heard that the eldest prince likes beauty, and there are groups of concubines and beauties in the house, and the eldest prince's concubine Sun is gentle and virtuous, and she can only let him be lustful after repeated admonitions.

But the third prince Yu Wenjing is a beautiful man. Dressed in purple, wearing a silver crown, with a handsome face and a tall figure, he stood there with a graceful and handsome demeanor. Compared with Yu Wenye, Yu Wenjing lacks the breathtaking brilliance and luxury.

"Miss Bai came to the capital without relatives, and she should be grateful to the prince for being blessed to live in the East Palace." Yu Wencheng picked up the teacup in his hand and laughed out loud with bad intentions, "Qingxia is the prince's compatriot and sister-in-law, you don't talk to Qingxia, why can you talk to Mu Rou more?" ”

Bai Muguan met his gaze without fear, and asked with a smile: "I don't know where His Royal Highness the Great Prince heard that I can talk to Princess Hemu?" Or do you know everything about the palace? ”

"You!" Yu Wencheng was dumbfounded for a while. can only stare at the girl in front of him fiercely, could it be that he sent someone to follow him and was discovered by Bai Muguan yesterday? No way, those two people are the most powerful spies he has planted in the palace. Either way, he had never met a woman who dared to speak to him like that!

Seeing that Yu Wencheng couldn't get off the stage, the atmosphere in the room was awkward, and Yu Wenye didn't move. Ye Shiying could only stand up and solve the siege: "The two highnesses don't know, Mu Wan has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and she hasn't seen Princess Heqing yet." is the same age as Princess Mu and her, and they chatted about some boudoir things after the Hundred Flowers Banquet yesterday. ”

said that it was a matter of the boudoir, and it just happened to block their mouths, so it was naturally inconvenient for Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenjing to go further.

However, Yu Wencheng didn't intend to let Bai Muguan go easily, and quickly got involved in another matter: "You participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet yesterday, did you hear that Li Zhaoyi and Xinlian Imperial Sister both fell into the water?" ”

Ye Shiying said truthfully: "At that time, a little eunuch broke in to tell the queen, and all the ladies and ladies heard it during the banquet. ”

"This king also heard that the murderer is the sister of Emperor Murou." Yuwen Cheng is yin and yang

Bai Muguan confirmed a certain guess in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty immediately ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, who is the culprit, I believe that the truth will be revealed soon." ”

She is showing a clear attitude, and she doesn't believe that Yuwen Murou is the real murderer.

Yu Wenye answered coldly: "Indeed, this kind of thing can't be followed by everyone. Brother Huang, Sister Murou is also our own sister, and we can't make conclusions until the matter is clear. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too worried, and the king just said it casually. By the way, there are still things in this palace, so I will leave first. With that, Yu Wencheng got up and planned to pat his ass and leave.

Bai Muguan said in his heart, it was easy to come, how could he let him slip away so easily. She was about to speak out and prepare to counter the army, but was stopped by Yu Wenye with her eyes. For some reason, she could only swallow back the words that came to her mouth.

When Fang Cai Yu Wencheng left, he left Bai Muguan with a gloomy and disdainful look, conceited and arrogant. Yu Wenjing, who has always been close to him, did not stand in a line this time, and Yu Wenjing smiled softly at her.

However, these fell in Yu Wenye's eyes, and they were completely cold.
