However, as she raised her head, the hands holding her suddenly loosened, and Mu Lingzhi appeared, although the woman in front of her looked very similar to Xiao Qing, but those eyes were not the same at all!

The excitement and excitement instantly dropped to freezing point, Mu Lingzhi's heart sank, he didn't look at her again, and turned to leave.

The palace people around him surrounded him, kneeling in front of Jade Mingzhu one by one and shouting, 'Damn it!' Everyone's hearts were flustered and scared-

With the temperament of this eldest princess, they were so frightened today, they had to have a good fight if they didn't die!

However, today's Jade Mingzhu was different from the usual good talk, and did not punish them, but looked at Mu Lingzhi's figure as he walked farther and farther away, and said eagerly: "Quick, go and ask who he is?" ”

However, at this moment, the sharp-eyed palace people had already seen the young man in Tsing Yi who had risen from the ground, and couldn't help cheering: "Princess, please look, General Chen is there!" ”

A cheer from the palace people shifted Yuming's gaze from Mu Lingzhi to General Chen, who was walking this way.

I saw that the major general in Tsing Yi was covered with dust, a little embarrassed, and when he saw the jade pearl, his expression was slightly stunned, and he quickly patted off the dust on his body, restrained his expression and bowed to her, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Weichen is not talented, he actually let the mount disturb the princess, and wait for Weichen to come to the princess to ask the princess after he is busy with personal affairs." Without waiting for Jade Mingzhu to return the gift, he was already walking towards Mu Lingzhi over there.

Seeing that he was leaving, Yu Mingzhu was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the general, who was the son who saved the life of the palace just now?" ”

Chen Yiqing was stunned again, and after a while, he was a little uncomfortable and said: "He, he is a friend of Weichen, I haven't seen him for many years, I can't help but learn from each other, I didn't expect to surprise Her Royal Highness the princess, and I ask for forgiveness." After that, he pulled out the long sword on the white horse's leg, walked over and threw it into Mu Lingzhi's hand and snorted coldly: "Okay, destroy my mount as soon as we meet, let's say, how do you want to compensate me?" ”

Mu Lingzhi took the long sword and put it into the scabbard, glanced at him with a snickering expression, and said with a clear face: "Didn't I also give you this horse?" You like the new and hate the old the most, but you want to take the opportunity to blackmail me into giving you another horse, so that you can get a new one. ”

Chen Yiqing listened to his words, and instead of blushing, his eyebrows fluttered and said: "I like the new and hate the old, obviously you injured its old leg, no wonder me." In other words, your big beam specializes in good horses, and it is normal to give me ten horses and one hundred horses. This time I want a bloody BMW and red hair, you must give it to me, and you must not regret it. ”

Two years ago, there was a group of very beneficial mountain bandits on the border of Qiliang, using the junction of the two countries to take turns to commit crimes, when Qi captured them, they fled to Daliang, and Daliang caught them and fled to Qi, which made the officers and soldiers of both countries extremely annoyed, and finally, the generals of the two countries unanimously agreed to pursue at the same time, forcing the huge group of mountain bandits to no way, and successfully captured, keeping the tranquility of the Qiliang border and the safety of people and property in the past.

At that time, the generals who led the troops of the two countries were Mu Lingzhi and Chen Yiqing.

At that time, when they were fighting over who would kill the leader of the mountain bandits, the two refused to give in to each other, and in the end they had to fight to solve the problem.

Of course, Chen Yiqing couldn't beat the world-famous Mu Lingzhi, and was defeated in the 'Heavenly Maiden Brocade' that he had just used, but after that fight, the two cherished each other, changed from allies to friends, and had a similar temperament. And in order to compensate for Chen Yiqing's regret that he couldn't fight with the leader and bandits, Mu Lingzhi gave Chen Yiqing a good horse.

Seeing that the white horse was sent down for treatment, Chen Yiqing pretended to wipe two tears in front of Mu Lingzhi, touched its head and said with emotion: "I have run so many distances with me, and I have worked hard for you, my Bai Gongzi." But with this general, you have seen enough of the scenery, and the good food and drink have not been treated badly to you, so don't have regrets and retire well. ”

Mu Lingzhi's face was covered with black lines, and he said coolly: "Indeed, I have accompanied you to the battlefield, killed mountain bandits and chased beauties, it is really hard, and you should have a good rest." ”

"Ah, I say this as if you, a demon, have never chased a girl. Let's say, what is the intention of Daqi, who suddenly paid a private visit to my beautiful woman? ”

Seeing Mu Lingzhi turn over and get on his horse and enter the city without paying attention to himself, Chen Yiqing hurriedly turned over and climbed up to the horse led by his subordinates to catch up, and asked with a curious and excited face: "I heard about the marriage a year ago, your kid is really bold, not to mention the blatant destruction of relatives, and also killed the niece of General 6, and also the seventh princess of the famous Concubine Liniang in the palace, do you know that Concubine Li is a well-known tigress, you actually came without a soldier and swaggering, do you want to come to Daqi to die?" ”

Mu Lingzhi glanced at him and said slowly: "With you Young General Chen here, who dares to touch me?" Besides, it was your old emperor who didn't keep the covenant between the two countries in the first place, so why should I be afraid? Maybe if he knows that I have come to settle the score, he will not dare to come out to see me even if he hides in the palace. As for the 6 generals - the defeat of his subordinates is not a problem! ”

"Tut, if you let that widower 6 Rong and the old emperor hear your words, I guess I will be angry to death." Chen Yiqing said this, but his heart blossomed-

Great, this time back to Beijing, with him here, Kyoto will be lively and exciting, he doesn't have to worry about being bored!

"By the way, are you really here to settle the accounts with the old emperor and the queen of autumn? Oh, if the old emperor is angry and wants to divide your five horses, do you say that I will help you divide it or not? ”

"I gave your horse, you dare to divide it!?" Mu Lingzhi's knife flew over, Chen Yiqing suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter, but heard Mu Lingzhi say leisurely: "This palace doesn't have that time to look for him." Like you said, I've never chased a woman, but this time I'm chasing from Daliang all the way to Qi Kingdom, so - you have to help me! ”

Looking at the seriousness of Mu Lingyi's face, Chen Yiqing's face was stunned, the brighter the light in his eyes became, the curiosity in his heart gushed out, and he was so excited that his voice trembled: "Tell me quickly, who are you looking for?" What kind of girl is it? Oh, after repentance, after a long turn, you still have to be our son-in-law after all. Tsk, bad fate, bad fate! ”

Mu Lingzhi walked forward without squinting, thinking of the woman who looked very similar to Xiaoqing just now, watching the pomp and circumstance of her trip, and then listening to the palace person's call to her, she couldn't help but feel a slight shock in her heart-

Eldest Princess?!

Xiaoqing actually looks similar to the eldest princess of Qi Kingdom, so will she ......

Seeing that his face became solemn, Chen Yiqing couldn't help but be even more curious, and said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, how are you doing with that girl, have you turned over the bed?" Pregnant with your child? You bullied her and made her sad to take the baby back to her parents' house? Speak up, talk fast! Don't rush me. ”

"Today you are defeated again on the 'Celestial Maiden Tapestry'. I'll tell you when you break this trick and win! Mu Lingzhi didn't want to choke him back.

Chen Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and was about to directly pull him to the school field to compete again, when the entourage Yuan Bao next to him caught up and whispered: "Master, the eldest princess has been chasing after the master, as if ...... Do you want to ...... master?"

Hearing this, Chen Yiqing suddenly remembered that he was too excited to meet Mu Ling again, and he forgot about the big Buddha. Thinking of the things mentioned in the letter his father gave him before returning to Beijing, his handsome eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, thought about it, and instructed Yuan Bao: "Lead the third prince back to the house." Remember, if the family asks him about his identity, don't tell them first, just say that he is my best friend from afar, and let them vacate my yard for him to live in, and I live in the yard next door. I rushed back after dealing with the big Buddha. ”

After that, he said hello to Mu Lingzhi, turned his horse's head and came to the sedan chair of Jade Mingzhu behind, put away the wanton joke with Mu Lingzhi just now, his face was calm and serious, as if he had changed a person, and said seriously: "Weichen sees the princess, and I ask the princess to forgive me when I am late." Dare to ask the princess if she was okay just now, she wasn't frightened by the white horse, right? ”

Remembering that he got up early in the morning and groomed carefully, and went out of the city to greet him with joy, but he didn't expect him to greet her unfamiliarly, and then leave her behind him like air and accompany the man, Yu Mingzhu was already mad in her heart.

If it were normal, she wouldn't know how to thunder.

At this time, seeing Chen Yiqing returning to talk to him, Yu Mingzhu pressed the anger in her heart and said gently: "It's okay, although I have lived in the palace for a long time and am not as well-informed as General Chen, I still have this bit of courage." Dare to ask the general, who is the person who saved me just now? He is the savior of the main palace, and the main palace must know his name! In the future, I will repay my benefactor. ”

Chen Yiqing was embarrassed and wanted to answer her, she couldn't tell Ling Zhi's true identity to her, but she didn't dare to deceive her, if she knew the truth that day, wouldn't she be guilty of deception?

In the end, he had to say ambiguously: "He is just a friend that Weichen met on the rivers and lakes." The white horse scared the princess when we were frightened during the competition, and it was natural for him to save the princess, and the princess didn't have to remember it. ”

Just a charlatan!?

Hearing this, Yu Mingzhu's expression couldn't help but reveal a few disappointments.

Then, no matter how outstanding his martial arts and good-looking looks are, she won't think about it.

Because, no matter what, it is impossible for her dignified eldest princess to marry a prodigal son who is in the rivers and lakes.

Suddenly, the good impression of Mu Lingzhi in her heart dropped instantly, but she just looked at the polite General Chen in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

Feeling her affectionate gaze, Chen Yiqing's head was numb, and he was about to find an excuse to avoid it, but he didn't expect Chen Xiang and Mrs. Chen to greet her with surprise and panic on their faces.

It turned out that early in the morning, Chen Xiang and Mrs. Chen heard the next person to report, saying that the eldest princess personally went out of the city to welcome her son, and was flattered to welcome her from the house to the street in person, just to see Chen Yiqing riding on a tall horse to accompany the princess's sedan chair side, the two chatted happily, the two old people couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yu Mingzhu, and respectfully and warmly invited Yu Mingzhu to Chen's mansion for lunch.

Thinking that he hadn't drunk and chatted with Mu Lingzhi for a long time, Chen Yiqing didn't want Yu Mingzhu to follow her to disturb the interest of the two of them, and was about to persuade her to return to the palace, but she didn't expect Yu Mingzhu to respond without hesitation, and went into the house with him with a little shyness.

The Chen Mansion is really a happy event today, not only is the eldest son who has been guarding the frontier for a long time come back, but he also brought back a friend with extraordinary spirit, and the emperor's favorite eldest princess actually went out of the city to welcome Chen Yiqing into the city, which made the second elder of the Chen family so happy that he didn't know what to do!

It seems that Concubine Lian revealed that she wanted to marry the Chen family before, but she was afraid that it would come true.

At the dinner table, Mu Lingzhi happened to sit opposite Yu Mingzhu, looking at the very similar face in front of him, he was in a trance from time to time, feeling as if Yu Ruyan was in front of him, but when he saw the different eyes and different mannerisms, he realized that the person in front of him was not Xiaoqing.

He praised casually: "I heard that the princesses of Qi are all beautiful and moon-like, and what I said when I saw the eldest princess today is indeed true, I don't know if the other sisters of the princess are also like the princess, among the princesses, can there be one whose appearance is the most similar to the princess?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Mingzhu's brows furrowed almost uncontrollably, and the silver chopsticks in his hand slowly stopped!

Originally, it was condescending for her to dine at the same table with a person from the rivers and lakes, but if it weren't for Chen Yiqing's sake, she would have walked away a long time ago.

Now he still asks about such a thing in public, which makes her very annoyed!

Everyone in the palace knew that the eldest princess hated the most, that is, some people compared her with the appearance of the fifth princess, and now that she was asked by Mu Lingzhi in person, she said with a depressed face: "The mother concubine only has one daughter, and there are no sisters who are similar!" ”

Mu Lingzhi was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Chen Yiqing.

Chen Yiqing knew that he was asking himself, so he silently shook his head and said that he didn't know, and Chen Xiang and his wife were afraid that Yu Mingzhu would be unhappy, so they hurriedly smiled and said: "The eldest princess is not only the most out-of-the-way among all the princesses, but also the first beauty of our Daqi, but this appearance is unmatched." ”

Although Chen Xiang and his wife didn't know Mu Lingzhi's true identity and origin, they only saw their son's respectful and polite attitude towards him, and they also treated Mu Lingzhi with courtesy, so Chen Yiqing didn't object to letting Mu Lingzhi eat at the same table with Jade Mingzhu just now. Now seeing that the situation is embarrassing, I am afraid that the eldest princess will be angry, so I can't help but speak up, which can be regarded as helping Mu Lingzhi speak.

Mu Lingzhi smiled slightly, and laughed at himself: "I'm sorry, it's rude, I hope the princess will forgive me!" ”

Yu Mingzhu looked at his handsome and rangeless appearance, as well as that extraordinary demeanor, and secretly felt pity in her heart, thinking that if it weren't for his poor background, he would be more in line with his own heart than Chen Yiqing.

Now that I see him apologizing to myself, and then I think of what he saved myself today, I don't really care about him, and it doesn't hurt to pretend to be generous.

Before leaving, Yu Mingzhu invited Chen Xiang and his wife and Chen Yiqing to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet five days later.

Sending off the jade pearl, Chen Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and before he had time to talk to his parents, he couldn't wait to return to his yard.

Before entering the door, he quietly looked in from the window, but saw Mu Lingzhi sitting at the desk, a picture scroll spread out on the table in front of him, looking at the portrait, his expression was obsessed with inexplicable sadness, and Chen Yiqing was very surprised!

Since he met Mu Lingzhi, he was the first person Chen Yiqing admired and worshipped.

In his eyes, this famous third prince of the Great Liang is a cold-blooded and ruthless cold-blooded prince who is ruthless in the mouth of outsiders, and he is ruthless in killing and killing.

In Chen Yiqing's eyes, this mysterious and beneficial third prince is actually a person who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but he is also a perfect person, he can hardly find any shortcomings in him, he has always been a calm and conceited person who is confident and strategic, when has he ever seen such a look on his face.

He couldn't help but feel a twelve-point curiosity about that portrait in his heart!

He pushed the door in a hurry, but the moment he heard the door, Mu Lingzhi quickly put away the picture scroll and put it away like a baby.

Seeing him like this, Chen Yiqing couldn't help but cry and said with a sad face: "I entertain you with delicious food and drink, why do you have to give me a trace of sweetness?" The portrait is the girl who let you chase all the way, please let me see her fairy appearance. The person who can charm you must be extraordinary. I'm so curious! ”

Mu Lingzhi put away the portrait, looked back at Chen Yiqing who was pestering him, and couldn't help but laugh: "You are also the youngest and most promising general in Daqi, if you let outsiders see your appearance like a dog, I am afraid that your image in their minds will fall into the clouds, and even the eldest princess who favors you will be scared away." ”

"I wish she was far away from me, I was most afraid of provoking the women in the palace, it was really boring, I was thinking about fighting in my head all day long, and I didn't know how to spend more time on the pleasure of the boudoir, looking bright on the face, and ...... inside"

"You are walking in the palace, are there any princesses or palace maids who have a similar face to the eldest princess?" When it comes to men and women, he must be inexhaustible, and Mu Lingzhi can't help but interrupt him and ask.

"I've never seen it." As soon as Chen Yiqing said this, seeing a look of loss on Mu Lingzhi's face, he couldn't help but turn his eyes and come to his senses: "Oh, is the sweetheart who dares to love you really look like the eldest princess!" Ah, no wonder you just asked the princess so abruptly on the table, I was still wondering, you don't look like such an ignorant person! ”

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Mu Lingzhi finally unfolded the portrait in his hand again to Chen Yiqing, and said in a deep voice: "I think your Chen family is also well-informed in Kyoto, compared to my own strength, it is always much easier to do with more people, please please help me find this person!" ”

The portrait was unfolded and placed on the desk, Chen Yiqing looked at it and was stunned!

I saw that the woman in the portrait was almost the same as the eldest princess Jade Pearl at a glance, but if I looked closely, her sparkling eyes were a few points better than the eldest princess. The expression seems to be quiet and indifferent, but the moving style contained in the smile is simply fascinating. These are far beyond the reach of the Jade Pearl.

I saw her sitting there quietly, obviously accompanied by the gorgeous red plums behind her, but her appearance was far better than the ten thousand red plums, just like a lily blooming in the dark night, the flowers were charming, and the dark fragrance was intoxicating.

The deep affection under the eyes can be felt through the rice paper.

looked at the pen, but it was painted by Mu Lingzhi himself for her when it was cold in the winter last year, and it is no wonder why the woman has such a moving posture.

Mu Lingzhi put away the portrait for a long time, Chen Yiqing was still 'tsk' and amazed, he couldn't help but stroking his palms and sighed: "I haven't seen the eldest princess in appearance and demeanor, and I haven't seen anyone who looks so similar to the eldest princess, but it is estimated that the only one who can get acquainted with her is her sisters, alas, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have pushed away those palace banquets in the palace over the years, maybe I met the future sister-in-law, now that I think about it, this son is rude!" ”

"Have you ever seen the five princesses of your Qi country, Yu Ruyan?" A thought suddenly flashed in his heart, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and blurted out.

"Five princesses?" After hearing this, Chen Yiqing couldn't help but think for a while, frowned, and said: "I haven't seen it, but I heard that this fifth princess seems to have been sent outside the palace to raise her when she was very young, and she rarely shows her face in front of everyone after returning to the palace, so I'm afraid there are not many people who have seen her true face." ”

"What does the world think of her?" Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but ask

"Evaluation? I have almost never heard the news evaluation of the five princesses, and when you say this, I suddenly feel that this fifth princess is a very mysterious person. Anyway, when you were with your relatives, you slipped and saw the faces of others, and shot the arrows in your hands? Tsk, it's really cold-blooded and ruthless, wouldn't it be a pity if a person's parents are beautiful and moving......"

Chen Yiqing was still chattering endlessly, but Mu Lingzhi didn't listen to a word, his heart kept sinking, and he couldn't help but think of the news about the fifth princess Yu Ruyan that his subordinates had found before, without exception, they were all disobedient to women's morality, dissolute and ruined, and raised male pets!

Even the people of Kyoto don't know who the five princesses are, so where does all this news come from?

Mu Lingzhi's deep phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, and he suddenly felt that he had fallen for someone else's trick.

Hearing Chen Yiqing say that he was going to enter the palace for a banquet in five days, Mu Lingzhi didn't think about it and said coldly: "I will enter the palace with you, and I will meet the rumored fifth princess, my fiancée." ”

At that time, in the Jinying Hall in the palace, Yu Ruyan certainly didn't know that Mu Lingzhi had chased her from Daliang to Qi State, and she had already suspected her identity.

She asked Brother An to start packing up, preparing to wait for the Queen Mother's birthday to pass five days later, and she took Brother An out of the house to Putuo Temple to find a knife, if the clues of the jade girl and the rumors were not in the palace, she felt that she didn't need to go back here.

Thinking of this, she instructed Brother An to take out more than half of the silver ticket that Yue Yu gave her last time and send it to Concubine Shu.

Although the food and clothing in the palace are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are not many places to spend silver taels in secret, and Shu Concubine has no other source of income except for a small amount of monthly salary, and she usually can't expect a little reward from King Qi, and her life in the palace is very sad.

But before leaving the palace, she had one last thing to do-

That is to seek justice from Concubine Lian for her mother and avenge her broken tendons!
