Chapter 10 The Concubine's Message
In the Mu Mansion, Leng Bing Ning was lying on Mu Ziyan's bed and opened his eyes slightly, Mrs. Mu sat by the window, Mu Liancheng, who had just returned from the palace, was standing against the window with his hands behind his back, Mu Yan saw her wake up, and called: "Miss Leng, are you awake?"
When Zuo Xin arrived with the secret guards, he saw two empty carriages on the road, and several corpses were scattered on the ground. When she ran into the forest just now, a man in blue who was cut by Xiao Han suddenly grabbed her dress, she picked up a stone in fear and threw it at the man's head, and then pulled back her dress and hid in the woods. When I saw Xin'er, I fainted as soon as I relaxed.
"Madam, Ziyan her," seeing Mrs. Mu, Leng Bingning was very apologetic, after all, Ziyan was uncertain about her life and death.
"Bingning, you can rest assured that you can take care of your body, Yan'er is clever and will be fine. "Mrs. Mu knew that those people were just asking for hostages, and there was no danger to their lives for the time being. She had hope, and besides, there was no one sent by the prime minister among the dead on the earth.
Mu Liancheng glanced at Leng Bingning and said, "The cold girl lives in the house, it's safer here." I will let you know in the cold house" and walked out of the room, what happened these days was expected, but unexpected. He didn't expect to be able to come back from the palace so smoothly, and his wife accompanied the concubine to Fahua Temple to offer incense, but it was too smooth to indicate that something more difficult to grasp would happen. In the past ten years, he has been walking on thin ice, and he can't think of any problems.
"Madam, Xin'er is at fault," after Mu Liancheng went out, seeing Mrs. Mu's worried expression, Zuo Xin knelt in front of Mrs. Mu and said, "I calculated that Zi Yan would only come out of the secluded room tomorrow." ”
"Get up, this may be providence" Mrs. Mu looked at Bing Ning who was lying down, in case something happened to her, Yi Hui'er's impulsive temperament was afraid that Uncle Zhou would not be able to stop him.
"Madam, someone from the palace came to announce the concubine's message" Mu Yan, who went to the kitchen to prepare the soup, hurriedly came in to report. Mrs. Mu took Xin'er away, only to see Mu Yan say anxiously: "Madam, people came to Xiyuan, saying that Miss Xuan Ziyan listened to the edict." ”
Mrs. Mu was stunned at first but calmed down instantly, since her daughter Xuan received the order and said that her daughter was not in their hands, she motioned for Xin'er to follow out of the bedroom and to the main hall downstairs. In the main hall stood a proclamation eunuch and a grandmother. And Mu Liancheng sat in the front of the hall, although he didn't say a word, he was not angry and arrogant.
The eunuch and the grandmother didn't dare to look at this god of war who had galloped on the battlefield and killed decisively, and they were a little embarrassed to stand and wait, and they didn't even know where to put their hands, and when they saw Murong Yu going downstairs, the eunuch saluted slightly: "Princess Murong is fine, can you please Miss Ziyan go downstairs to receive the order?"
Murong Yu glanced at the eunuch, "Gonggong Yang, I haven't seen more and more in a few years, the queen's mother and phoenix body are not in harmony, and the concubine is working hard." Murong Yu glanced at the two, "The little girl is sick, I'll take it for her." As he spoke, he sat on Mu Liancheng's side.
"This, princess, forgive me, this edict must be taken by Miss Ziyan herself" Yang Gonggong sweated on his forehead, even in the palace, when Mu Liancheng was imprisoned, he didn't dare to be arrogant, not to mention that now in someone's house. This founding marshal of the two dynasties, with thousands of troops and horses, and fierce generals like clouds, each of them would shock him to death if he coughed to him, but..."Please forgive me" After speaking, the waist was already bent to the knees.
"You ,..." Murong Yu was angry, not to mention that she was the wife of the general of the auxiliary country, the second order, when she was on the verge of survival when she married Princess Chifang, Xuanxia, as a daughter, led the Red Feather Army to follow her husband to fight in the south and the north, attacked Qiongchuan in the west, retreated to the six clans of Dongrong in the east, forgot the identity of the princess, and went to the ice and snow with the soldiers, helped the first emperor to overthrow the chaotic government of the previous dynasty and establish Xuanxia, and after the founding of the country, in order to express his heartfelt self-destruction of the Red Feather Sword, the Red Feather Army was dismissed to defend the North for more than ten years. Even if the emperor and queen see her, she has to wait for a vacuum, what is her concubine who was born as the daughter of a three-grade Shangshu, announcing that she would go to Fahua Temple during the day and come to announce the oracle at night, which is really too deceitful.
"Mother..."Murong Yu was about to slap the table and get up, only to hear a slender voice coming down from the stairs, and then saw a girl walking upstairs frequently, her skin was like snow, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, but her bearing was elegant. Walking to Murong Yu's side, Ying Ying bowed and held her hand: "Mother, it's okay for a daughter, and listen to the princess Xuan's words." ”
Yang Gonggong was overjoyed when he saw this, wiped his sweat and began to raise his voice: "Xuan Guifei's oral, Qiongchuan State submitted a letter of state to request the two countries to stop the marriage, this move will forever unite the alliance between the two countries, benefit the world, read the royal family has no princess of appropriate age, my emperor is gracious, I want to choose a virtuous lady from the daughter of a meritorious man, regardless of whether there is a marriage or not, all give etiquette and grandmother to teach for two months, to be selected as a princess." Chin this. ”
After Gonggong Yang finished passing the message, he retreated behind his grandmother. But the grandmother did not panic, walked forward and took out a mahogany box from her sleeve, and said to "Ziyan": "Please Miss Ziyan stretch out her right arm"
"Zi Yan" glanced at her and stretched out her right arm, only to see that the grandmother opened the wooden box and took out a thin pen, pinched the "Zi Yan" arm and rolled up the silk sleeves, and then lit the red palace sand at the crook of the lotus-like arm. When he let go, he pushed the "Ziyan" back without a trace. He bowed and said respectfully: "The old slave will come to the house early tomorrow morning to teach Miss Ziyan the etiquette rules. ”
"No need, her mother is a dignified princess, and she still needs a grandmother of you to teach her daughter court etiquette?" Mu Liancheng replied, Mama was shocked by his voice, took a few steps back, and her heart was relaxed, and the purpose of the concubine was not here, so she respectfully retreated: "The slave doesn't dare to overstep, thank you princess for your hard work." ”
