Chapter 15: Murong Heng
Mu Ranyue returned to the palace, just when it was time to arrive, she first went to Qiande Palace to ask Mu Ruiyuan for peace, and after talking for a while, she returned to the dormitory and put the peace charm she asked for back into her purse and sewed it up, ready to give it to Mu Ruiyuan the day after tomorrow.
Yunshang chatted with Mu Ranyue on the side, and chatted and chatted until Ye Zichen.
"Your Highness, slave and maid see you today...... The slave dared to ask, do you ...... about the night phase" Yunshang didn't continue, but she knew that Mu Ranyue understood what she meant.
"That's right, that's what you think." Mu Ranyue is very straightforward.
"The night phase is indeed very good, but the slave maid heard that the nobles in Nanling City like the night phase, but the night phase will not respond to any of them, are you sure you want to like him?"
"I like this kind of thing, it's not something you can control if you want to control it, and when you encounter it in the future, you will understand." Mu Ranyue said to Yun Shang.
"Your Highness, the slave maid has to serve you all the time, so that she won't ......" Yunsheng's face turned red in an instant.
"What's there to be shy about this, isn't that normal?" Mu Ranyue smiled, "You just said that Ye Zichen hasn't liked any woman for so many years, so there's no problem at all." If he doesn't like others, he won't like Hongu, right? ”
Yun Sheng hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, Your Highness, you have a noble status, you are also beautiful, and you have a good temperament, which man doesn't like it?" ”
"Okay, don't compliment me, Ye Zichen is different from ordinary men, otherwise this palace won't take a fancy to him."
"The slave maid is telling the truth, although Miss Han is the first beauty in Nanling City, but the slave maid looks at her as inferior to you. Even if the night phase is different from other men, since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauties. ”
Mu Ranyue said with a straight face: "I don't want him to just like my appearance, I want him to really like me as a person." No matter how beautiful my face is, there will always be a day when I will wither, and I don't want to fade and love it. ”
"Then the slave and maid wish His Highness the wish as soon as possible." Yunshang smiled and said.
"You girl, your little mouth is so sweet."
Unconsciously, Mu Ranyue got her purse, looking at this thing, although it was not beautiful, she still had a sense of accomplishment.
"When do you think I should give this purse to my father?"
"According to the slave, it might as well be the day before His Majesty's birthday. The palace will hold a birthday banquet to invite the princes and nobles to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and you should not have the opportunity to give it to Your Majesty alone. ”
"So it's the day after tomorrow, it's okay."
After dealing with this purse, Mu Ranyue thought of promising Han Susu again, and she was a little distressed, she had to think about it, how to tell the Third Emperor Brother.
On the second day, Mu Ranyue had just eaten lunch and was about to take a nap, when the guards suddenly came in and reported: "Your Highness, the second son of Murong is here." ”
"Why did he come all of a sudden?" Mu Ranyue was thinking about it, and Murong Heng, who was dressed in ice blue clothes, came in, "Aren't you welcome Yue'er when I come?" ”
Mu Ranyue hurriedly greeted him and said happily: "Cousin Heng, why did you enter the palace?" Does Uncle know? ”
Murong Heng pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Yue'er went back to the palace while I was away, and she didn't say a word, which really made me sad." ”
Mu Ranyue smiled, pulled Murong Heng's sleeve, and said flatteringly: "My father's birthday banquet is coming, so I want to come back early." It just so happened that you weren't there at that time, so I didn't inform you, so don't blame me, Cousin Heng. ”
Murong Heng rubbed her head dotingly, and said, "Okay, I'm not angry, you know how willing I really blame you." ”
"I know that Cousin Heng is the best for Yue'er." Mu Ran smiled coquettishly.
Mu Ranyue pulled Murong Heng into the hall and sat down.
"Are you going back to the palace this time, are you planning to stay in the palace permanently?"
"Yes, but I will often go back to Murong Villa."
"It's just Yue'er, this kind of place in the palace is not something you can bear, don't forget that there are so many women in your father's palace, and how you came to Murong Villa in the first place." Murong Heng said worriedly.
"Cousin, don't worry, in fact, this harem is quite peaceful now."
"Really?" Murong Heng smiled disdainfully, "But how did I hear that on your way back to the palace, you were almost assassinated by the women of the harem?" ”
"How do you know that?" Mu Ranyue was surprised.
"You don't care how I know. But I think after your father's birthday banquet, you should go back to Murong Villa with me. Murong Heng persuaded.
"Nope." Mu Ranyue shook her head, "No matter what, the palace is my home." "Because here is her dearest father.
Of course, Mu Ranyue still has a deep affection for Murong He, but it is not her father after all.
"But you're in the palace, how can I rest assured. You grew up in Murong Villa, which is also your home. ”
"But after all, my surname is Mu, not Murong, cousin, don't persuade me anymore, and besides, I'm not going to Murong Villa again. My uncle was so kind to me, I naturally went to see him often. ”
Murong Heng's face turned slightly pale: "Yue'er, have you really thought it through?" ”
Mu Ranyue nodded firmly.
Murong Heng was very disappointed, but he didn't show much of it. He has liked Mu Ranyue very much since he was a child, and often shows in front of her that his feelings for her are not brother and sister, but the love of men and women.
But Mu Ranyue didn't seem to see it, and always treated him as an elder brother, which made Murong Heng very frustrated.
Mu Ranyue talked about Murong Heng's departure from the mansion again, and asked with a smile: "Cousin Heng, you have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for so a month or two, have you met the woman you like?" ”
Murong Heng was stunned, except for Mu Ranyue, how could he like other women?
But he said, "Of course." ”
When Mu Ranyue heard this, she immediately aroused her gossip heart, "Who, tell me about it." ”
"That man, far away in the sky, close in front of you." Murong Heng's meaning was obvious.
But Mu Ranyue's reaction was half a beat slower, and she didn't understand what he meant. "Far away, close in front of you?"
"Hmm." Murong looked at her constantly.
"What you're talking about......" Mu Ranyue suddenly reacted and teased: "Cousin, you really like to joke." ”
"Does my cousin think I'm joking?" Murong Heng looked at her with a serious face.
Mu Ranyue blushed a little when he saw it, over the years, she could vaguely feel Murong Heng's love for her, but she had never treated him as an elder brother.
Fortunately, Murong Heng didn't say anything, so she could keep pretending to be stupid.
Now that Murong Heng suddenly confessed, Mu Ranyue was a little overwhelmed. She looked at the affection in Murong Heng's eyes, and the look of expecting her response, but she didn't know how to refuse.
However, she knew that she had to find a way to reject him unequivocally, otherwise it would not be a good thing for him or herself.
"Cousin, I understand your intentions. But we're cousins. Mu Ranyue tried to reject him with the modern concept that cousins can't get married.
"What happened to my cousin? It's not a kiss, and many families are relatives who become relatives in order to be close to each other. ”
"That's because they don't understand the dangers of cousins getting married. Cousin, you didn't study medicine, so you don't understand either. But I think that even my uncle and cousin Xiu would never approve of our marriage. ”
Murong Heng is allergic to medicinal herbs, so although he grew up in Murong Villa, he can be said to know nothing about medicine, and he is not interested in this aspect at all, and his mind is all about martial arts.
Therefore, his attainments in martial arts are quite high, and at the age of twenty-three, it is difficult to meet opponents in the entire rivers and lakes.
Fortunately, in addition to Murong Heng's son, Murong He also has an eldest son, who is also the young master of Murong Villa, Murong Xiu, who is proficient in medical science, which also makes Murong He quite pleased.
"Oh? What does Yue'er mean by this? Murong Heng asked suspiciously.
"From a medical point of view, when cousins get married, it is easy to give birth to infatuated children, and it will lead to natural diseases, and of course, there is also the possibility that they will not be able to have children." Mu Ranyue is kind and seductive.
Although the medicine of this era does not have a good understanding of genetics, as the first medical family in the world, the medical skills in Murong Villa also record some dangers about cousin marriage, which are similar to modern genetics, and it is enough to see the medical skills of the Murong family.
Murong Heng couldn't hide the disappointment and shock in his eyes, "What you said is true?" ”
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask your uncle and cousin."
But Mu Ranyue was actually a little weak when she said this, and at the same time, she had always wondered, obviously Murong He and Murong Xiu knew the harm of their cousins' marriage, but they knew that Murong Heng was thinking about her but did not stop it, what was the reason?
Therefore, Mu Ranyue added: "You can also go and check the genealogy of the Murong family to see if there are any close relatives who are married." ”
When she was bored, she went to turn it over, and there were no close relatives at all, which also made her even more unable to understand Murong He and Murong Xiu's approach.
Murong Heng had basically believed Mu Ranyue's words, she had already said so, so he couldn't believe it. Since they weren't destined to be together, what else could he do?
However, he thought that even if he couldn't become a husband and wife, he would never be able to let go of Mu Ranyue in his heart, she had already become an obsession for him, making him unable to extricate himself.
But he is not stupid, he can see that Mu Ranyue only has affection between brother and sister for him, and nothing else. However, Mu Ranyue did not reject him directly, but gave him a perfect reason so that he could also deceive himself.
Murong Heng endured the pain in his heart and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it seems that we are really destined brothers and sisters." I finally came to Nanling, you have to accompany me for a good walk. ”
"Of course, when I go to give gifts to my father and queen tomorrow, I will take you to visit the imperial capital." Mu Ranyue agreed.
