Compared with Nanming's strategy, Qi Guo seems to be much more leisurely, except for the plan to discuss with Donglin to join forces to attack Wei in recent days, there are no major events.

Since the last time the king did not return late at night, Dongfang Mu has not seen the figure of the king for some time, everyone in the house is talking, some people say that the king of Ming snubbed the princess, and some people say that the marriage is in name only, for a time the house seems to be shrouded in clouds of smoke, and there is no peaceful scene in the past.

"Princess, how many days have it been, and Your Highness won't say come back to take a look." Dongfang Mu's personal maid Qing'er, while holding the basin of water, hugged Dongfang Mu unevenly.

Dongfang Mu smiled faintly: "He does his business, we do our business, and we don't interfere with each other." ”

"Princess, how long are you going to last? If you go to King Ming now, he may change his mind, Qing'er can see that King Ming has affection for you. Qing'er said excitedly, put down the copper basin in her hand, and came to Dongfang Mu.

Dongfang Mu looked at the pages on the table over and over again, and on them were the words she had just practiced.

"Princess, you are talking!" Qing'er was so anxious that she dangled around and didn't stop for a moment.

Dongfang Mu felt that he was about to be stunned by her, and said helplessly: "I have an agreement with His Royal Highness, the marriage has been completed, what is there not to be satisfied with?" ”

Qing'er was a little impulsive, but she hated that iron could not become steel, so she stepped forward and grabbed Dongfang Mu's hand and pressed it straight to her heart, which caught Dongfang Mu off guard.

"Ask your heart, do you really not mind the princess?" Qing'er let go of her hand and knelt in front of Dongfang Mu: "Qing'er, please go to Your Highness, don't lie to yourself." ”

Dongfang Mu's eyes moistened, it turned out that his helplessness and affection for King Ming could be seen, and he thought that he had covered it up well enough.

These days, the joy in the Ming Wang's Mansion has long been dissipated, and no one is smiling, Dongfang Mu is smiling every day, and he does his best to take care of the affairs of the mansion. If relatives and friends visit, they will cover up with the love of the Ming King, and negotiate with the visitor alone, but they are always unwilling to go out of the house for half a step.

"Hurry up." Dongfang Mu ordered, "I have my own measure. ”

Qing'er got up slowly, and when she saw Dongfang Mu's tears rolling in her eyes, she knew that her words had stung her, and she was ten sorry: "Princess, let's punish the crime, Qing'er just wants you to know your mind, I don't want to see you sad." ”

Dongfang Mu turned his face again, endured it for a long time, but couldn't help it: "What can I do?" An agreement is an agreement, a political affair is a political affair, and ruthlessness is ruthlessness. ”

At this time, the shouting outside the door broke this sadness: "My subordinates are cold, I want to see the princess." ”

It was a cold day, Qing'er immediately ran to open the door, and when she saw that the cold sky looked anxious, she thought to herself: Isn't there something urgent?

"Is there something wrong with King Ming?" Dongfang Mu asked anxiously, getting up from the wooden chair in an instant.

Han Tian shook his head and said, "The princess doesn't have to be nervous, His Royal Highness is very good." The subordinates came this time, just to inform the princess in advance, the king of Ming and the girl Ling'er are on the way back to the house, tomorrow is coming, and the princess is asked to prepare early. ”

This sentence slashed at Dongfang Mu's heart viciously like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Han Tian's tone was cold, as if he took it for granted. After all, in Han Tian's heart, Dongfang Mu is playing every step of the way, and she is a woman who is quite deep in the city.

"Got it, there's Commander Lao Han." Dongfang Mu replied lightly without changing his face. This move made Han Tian's misunderstanding of Dongfang Mu deeper. Han Tian already had an idea in his heart, if Dongfang Mu could be a little sad when he heard this, at least it would mean that she was caring about King Ming, but Dongfang Mu responded as plain as water, obviously the goal had already been achieved, and there was no need to use true feelings.

Han Tian snorted in his heart, turned around and left unhappily, and turned around to salute, which was also very perfunctory.

After seeing the cold day leave, Dongfang Mu sat down weakly and did not speak for a long time.

"Princess, go back to Donglin, His Majesty will not blame you." Qing'er was so distressed that her voice was hoarse.

"No, marriage is not a child's play. Don't worry, I'm fine. Dongfang Mu said and got up slowly, walked to the door, looked at the sky, and sighed: "The auspicious clouds surround the city, the flowers bloom and the flowers are together, and this bead curtain embroidered curtain seems to have happened yesterday." ”

Qing'er turned her back to Dongfang Mu and secretly wiped her tears, and comforted: "Princess, you hold on!" ”

Dongfang Mu straightened his sleeves: "Let's go, let's go and arrange it, after all, Miss Ling'er was a guest of this Ming Wang's Mansion before me, I don't know where she liked to live before." ”

Qing'er wiped away her tears and muttered, "Yes! I'm going to ask the person in charge. ”

"Well, it must be arranged, and I'll go and prepare a meeting gift for Miss Ling'er." Dongfang Mu is ready to pick a gift and fulfill the friendship of the landlord. After all, she believes that it is her appearance that blocks their relationship.

King Ming and Feng Ling'er were still on their way back to the house, the two of them shared a carriage, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer to King Ming's mansion, Feng Ling'er retreated: "Your Highness really wants me to live back?" ”

"It's coming, can there be a fake?" King Ming responded.

"Ling'er thought about it all the way, but she still felt that it was inappropriate, it was too rude for the princess." Feng Ling'er said anxiously and shook her head uneasily.

"She made the agreement, how can there be any reason not to abide by it?" King Ming comforted Feng Ling'er.

Feng Ling'er still felt that something was wrong, shook her head, stopped the coachman, and prepared to go out to breathe. King Ming walked slowly in this dense forest with her.

"Ling'er has no face to face the princess." Feng Ling'er was sure that she would not be able to overcome this obstacle.

King Ming didn't know how to explain, so he walked up to her anxiously and made eye contact with her: "What Han Tian said is reasonable. Dongfang Mu is a ruthless person, this king is just a chess piece in her east, but this king is willing to do this chess piece, do you know why? ”

Feng Ling'er was puzzled, a pair of eyes stared at King Ming, and looked deeply like that.

"Just for this agreement, I was thinking of you at the time. Dongfang Mu once asked me if I have a sweetheart, and I naturally have you in my heart, so I have this agreement. Ling'er, you don't need to feel guilty, Dongfang Mu doesn't care. King Ming explained excitedly, this sentence hit Feng Ling'er's heart, and finally broke her defense, in exchange for a sentence "Okay, I believe you." ”

The carriage was still moving, moving towards the palace. Everyone in the mansion began to get busy again, even so, it was still lifeless, and the Ming Wang's Mansion had never been so bleak. I don't know if it's because King Ming is not in the mansion, or because Dongfang Mu's heart is covered with smoke, all of this is quietly backlogged in the palace, affecting everyone.
