Princess Jingyang
After escaping from Fengcai City, the three of them didn't dare to stay longer, and naturally they didn't dare to take the official road again.
In order to save time, the three decided to use fast horses, and they could reach Mincheng in less than three days after traveling day and night.
On the sheep intestine path, Murong Shuo and Shangguan Jing rode horses side by side.
"Murong Shuo, do you know where those killers come from?"
Murong Shuo shook his head.
Shangguan Jing sighed and said to himself, "Why do those people feel that they are coming for me?"
Murong Shuo subconsciously tightened the reins and turned his head to look at her. Shangguan Jing met his gaze, and the two looked at each other quietly without saying a word.
Shangguan Jing turned his head to look at Ling Feng, who was tailgating, and asked with concern, "Ling Feng, how is your injury?" ”
Ling Feng replied with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi Jing for your concern, this little injury is not in the way." ”
Murong Shuo also turned his head and said, "Hold on a little longer, and you will soon be in Mincheng." ”
Ling Feng nodded solemnly.
Shangguan Jing let out a roar, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped. Murong Shuo thought that Shangguan Jing was angry with him about what happened before, and he didn't want to be snubbed by her like this, so he caught up with her with the reins.
Sure enough, it only took three days, and the three of them arrived in Mincheng despite the wind and snow.
According to Murong Shuo's own words, he was taken around by Princess Su Yuerou of Jingyang since he was five years old, and it was not until Princess Jingyang lived in Mincheng Palace last year that he had the opportunity to return to Jingyang Palace.
Speaking of which, the marriage between King Jingyang and Princess Jingyang was not perfect.
Princess Jingyang, who was not out of the cabinet, was once the favorite beauty of the son of the entire imperial city, and at that time she was not only from a prominent family, but she was also a well-known talented woman. Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or female workers, they are outstanding in the entire imperial city.
She loves the jade flute and is proficient in music. Back then, King Jingyang had no choice but to marry Su Yuerou as a last resort in order to stabilize his power in the court, after all, her father was Su Wen, an important minister in the court. If he can get Su Wen's support, then his strength in the court can be as stable as Mount Tai.
But no one expected that Su Yuerou at that time already had a favorite person, because her marriage with King Jingyang was given by the first emperor and could not be violated, so at that time, in addition to being unwilling, she was more angry and hateful.
She felt that it was an insult to herself to become married to someone she didn't know like this.
has been married for several years, although she had already given birth to Murong Shuo at that time, and Murong Ruolan was becoming more and more prominent, but the relationship between her husband and wife with King Jingyang was still incompatible.
Later, she took Murong Shuo to leave Jingyang Mansion on the grounds of travel, and the husband and wife had not seen each other for decades.
It wasn't until recently that she revised a letter to inform Murong Shuo that she was seriously ill, but poor Murong Shuo had just reunited with her father, and she rushed back to Mincheng in a hurry without even seeing her sister.
Although the Mincheng Palace is not as magnificent as the Jingyang Palace, it can be regarded as simple and elegant, exuding the fragrance of books everywhere. It made Shangguan Jingdu almost put down the cold weapon in his hand, picked up the pen, and recited poetry and painted.
In fact, on the way here, Shangguan Jing has been fantasizing about what kind of appearance this talented woman who once crowned the imperial city, and now that he really sees her, he is really shocked-
The years do not seem to have left any traces on this elegant woman, although she is now sickly, but she can't erase the beautiful temperament of everyone, but it is more delicate and moving, and every cheek and foot reveals the delicate state of the sick beauty. Who doesn't love such a beautiful woman who is captivating the country and the city!
Shangguan Jing saw Su Yuerou today and knew why Murong Shuo was born so badly for the country and the people.
Dare Qing inherited his mother's excellent genes!
Princess Jingyang stood in the snow, wearing a white windbreaker reflected in the snow, and the snow fox flower gently stayed on her jet-black hair and couldn't bear to melt away.
She took a pair of golden scissors and cut the plum blossoms from the tree and put them in the flower basket.
Murong Shuo held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked over gently to cover her from the wind and snow.
Princess Jingyang stopped what she was doing and looked at Murong Shuo in a daze, as if she didn't expect him to come back so quickly.
Until Murong Shuo gently called the concubine.
She put one hand free, touched his cheek, and patted the snow off his clothes.
"I'm back."
"Hmm." Murong Shuo responded gently.
"It's good to be back...... Just come back. Princess Jingyang repeated.
"Mother, why are you alone in the courtyard again? Where's Aunt Lan?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. I didn't allow your Aunt Lan to follow. ”
"I'll help you into the house, it's snowing outside."
Princess Jingyang smiled lovingly and nodded.
Shangguan Jing and Ling Feng stood in the corridor, and the two of them saluted her respectfully.
Princess Jingyang pointed at Shangguan Jing and looked at Murong Shuo and asked, "Who is this son?" Look at the noodles. ”
Murong Shuo replied: "Mother concubine, her name is Shangguan Jing, and she is the only son of Marshal Shangguan. ”
Princess Jingyang sighed and nodded.
Shangguan Jing made another gesture and explained to her: "Ah Jing has seen the princess Niangniang. ”
Princess Jingyang seemed to like Shangguan Jing's character of not recognizing life, she took Shangguan Jing's hand and said, "Ah Jing, is it?" You look about the size of Shuo'er. My son has not been good at communicating with people since he was a child, and it is rare to see him bring back a friend today. Ah Jing, you have to stay a few more days! ”
Shangguan Jing replied with a smile: "Originally, I was afraid that I would blame you for taking the liberty of disturbing you, but now when I see you, I feel very cordial with you, and your smile is even more beautiful than that flower!" ”
This sycophant shot really won the favor of Princess Jingyang.
"Your little mouth is so sweet!"
Princess Jingyang smiled and took Shangguan Jing's hand, but noticed that her hands were very white, with slender fingers and distinct bones. Although the palms of the palms are calluses left from sword practice, no matter how you look at it, I don't want to be the hands that a man should have. She looked at her cheek and looked down, still smiling, not knowing what she was seeing.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Suddenly, Ling Feng, who had been standing behind several people, coughed violently.
He lowered his voice and clutched his stabbed right arm to minimize his presence. But Princess Jingyang still noticed him.
"Ling Feng, are you injured again?" Princess Jingyang said distressedly.
She walked over to Ling Feng, looked at his arm, then at his scratched cheek, turned around and blamed Murong Shuo: "Shuo'er, what did you let Ling Feng do again?" Why is it that every time I see him, he is hurt?"
Murong Shuo was extremely aggrieved, but it was not easy to refute. Who made his mother treat Ling Feng as her own child all along.
She took Ling Feng's hand and said gently, "I'll go to Aunt Lan to treat the wound in a while, don't get infected again." ”
"Princess Xie!" Lingfeng Road.
Princess Jingyang took Shangguan Jing's hand again and said, "After a long journey, go into the house to rest for a while, I will ask Aunt Lan to prepare the meal, and then clean up a room for you. ”
Shangguan Jing nodded and agreed.
She looked at Princess Jingyang, as if her illness was not very serious, but why did she lie that she was seriously ill?
Shangguan Jing couldn't figure this out, but Murong Shuo knew it.
In fact, Su Yuerou just didn't want Murong Shuo to return to the cold Jingyang Palace.
Because her resentment against the master of Nafu has not yet dissipated.
