Chapter Twenty-Nine: Forbearance
Since entering the girder, Jiang Mengyun has always been gentle and dignified, even when interrogating prisoners, he only moves his mouth but does not use his hands.
What's more, she used to be famous for her three-inch incorruptible tongue, but now she faints when she sees blood at every turn, and others naturally subconsciously think that she is weak.
But to be honest, she didn't deliberately hide it, and even said countless times that she couldn't understand pen and ink, and she learned more to dance with knives and guns.
But Queen Xue had never seen her use force before, and secondly, she didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't bother to emphasize the explanation.
At present, Jiang Mengyun's mind is the most important to Empress Xue, and the rest can be ignored.
It would be a waste for people who were not interested in understanding to say more, but if they were interested in talking, Jiang Mengyun didn't mind telling the truth, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Qi, who was embarrassed by words, rarely worked so hard to find a topic.
She replied with a smile as she walked: "Your Highness is strong in martial arts and excellent in swordsmanship, you probably don't know that I practiced swords when I was still in Ningguo in the past, but compared to His Highness, it is far behind." ”
"The girl praises it."
King Qi seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but smile, the warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, plating his whole body with a layer of gold, and his originally well-defined face became softer and softer, and the color of his azure blue robe became lighter, glowing with a gentle glow.
But the next moment, he put away his smile again.
Turning around and looking down at Jiang Mengyun, Mo Ziqi didn't know when there was some complicated affection in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed: "Wait until the fruit is picked and let people take it down and wash it, we can go to the courtyard to compete." ”
Jiang Mengyun is not tall, not to mention in Daliang, he is also a petite type among the people of Ningguo.
But she seems to be weak, but in fact, she is agile and strong in martial arts, and unlike the two brothers of the Jiang family, she focuses more on dexterous and fast attacks, and every time she hits the vital point, light skills are also a must.
A long sword was used in her hand superbly, and the moves were deadly but extremely beautiful, and she was indeed worthy of her status as the eldest lady of the Protector General's Mansion.
It is one thing for her swordsmanship to be superb, but it is another thing for His Royal Highness King Qi to answer like this.
According to common sense, shouldn't he be surprised to ask her how she could learn martial arts, and then ask what her level is, why is she so abrupt that she directly invited her to fight?
Unless, he knows her details.
Jiang Mengyun was a little puzzled, but he felt that it was unlikely, so he had to try to refuse: "I have self-knowledge, where can I be His Highness's opponent?" Let's talk ...... again."
She suddenly laughed: "I haven't touched a sword since I entered the girder, and even if I want to compete, I don't have a weapon in my hand." ”
"It doesn't matter." This time he replied quickly, "After lunch, I'll take you to the armory to choose one." ”
Prince Li's Mansion seems to be a treasure, and it even has an armory.
His Royal Highness King Qi seems to be really enthusiastic, Jiang Mengyun feels that according to this arrangement, she may not be able to return to the palace at night.
Just as she was about to speak, the peony that followed her like a mute suddenly jumped out, and stopped her first with some rudeness: "Girl, before going out, the maid specially instructed the slave maid to take the girl back to the palace earlier, I'm afraid that she will have to go back after lunch, otherwise the slave and maid really can't explain to the maid." ”
said that she was appreciating paintings, and being able to stay for dinner was already a great tolerance for her in the face of King Qi.
What kind of orchard is coming to see now, if it weren't for the fact that Peony herself was a little curious, and wanted to stay with King Qi for a while, she would have spoken out to stop it.
But the armory is a heavy place, it is something that Prince Lao Li left to His Royal Highness with his life, and she is a small palace maid, and her low status naturally can't enter.
At that time, wouldn't Jiang Mengyun be alone with His Royal Highness King Qi?
What's more, what qualifications does this woman have to enter King Qi's arsenal!
Peony gritted her teeth, of course she didn't say this, but her heart seemed to be on fire. She really couldn't figure out why King Qi would treat Jiang Mengyun differently, what was so good about her?
occupies the name of a distant relative of the queen in terms of identity, but after all, she is the daughter of a criminal minister of an enemy country, how much better can she be than this palace maid!
On weekdays, it's okay to think of herself as the master, it's just that she was invited into the mansion by King Qi, and it's just that she can talk to King Qi face-to-face on an equal footing, and even His Royal Highness invited her to stay for lunch.
In order for herself to stay with her for a while, she endured it, but why could they still talk happily with each other, and this Jiang Mengyun could still win the favor of His Royal Highness?
In resentment, her voice was a little eager, and her tone was also very stiff, which seemed very polite.
But Jiang Mengyun didn't say anything, and the next moment he replied obediently with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, it's all up to the girl." ”
Since it was based on peony, Mo Ziqi didn't force it anymore.
The competition failed, so the two only picked some cherries in the orchard, and the peony followed steadily, but they didn't say more. It wasn't until Ning Guo's chef finished cooking lunch and the little maid put the food on the table that she took the initiative to say, "Girl, the slave will help you make the dishes." ”
Standing aside, there was no intention of stepping down at all.
But even if she didn't want to retreat, Mo Ziqi didn't look at her much, to be more precise, when King Qi and Jiang Mengyun were together, it always made people feel very strange, as if they were excluded by them inexplicably.
In fact, when the two of them are together, they are not all talking and laughing, and occasionally they are very quiet, but even this kind of communication is constantly interrupted and you can't get in.
Peony endured it so hard that she didn't throw the chopsticks in her hand at Jiang Mengyun's face.
At the same time, in the East Palace, the crown prince Mo Gong was also enduring it. The Qiyuan Hall of Nuoda was already in a mess at this moment, the porcelain was shattered, the wine was fragrant, and the smell could not be transmitted through the palace wall to the clouds.
The personal servant Quanfu lay tremblingly on the ground, and was gently admonishing: "Your Highness, don't drink anymore, drink carefully and spoil your body, if you have three long and two short, the old slave really can't afford it!" ”
"Whew!" It's okay that he didn't say the last sentence, as soon as he said this, Mo Gong jumped up from the couch and wanted to throw the wine cup in his hand, but he couldn't help it.
"You can't afford it, what do you have to wait? It's just a few glasses of wine, are you like that old witch, trying to force me to death?! ”
He didn't name him, but Quanfu naturally knew that the "old witch" he was talking about was Empress Xue.
The dignified prince insulted his biological mother like this, and it was a big deal to spread it!
He lowered his head even more, and his whole body trembled, and he persuaded in a different way: "Your Highness, Your Highness, why are you so troubled, that flower is gone, no matter how sad you are, you can't really hurt yourself, it's not worth it!" ”
These words were a little more beautiful than Fang Cai's sentence, and Mo Gong really didn't have any more indiscriminate attacks, but it was only a moment, and he sneered again: "I'm sad? I have nothing to be sad about. ”
Quanfu couldn't help but look up at him, don't be sad that you drank so much wine and went crazy for a long time.
If it is said that it is because of the punishment and grounding, it really does not make sense. Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is usually like this, and he is punished for half a month, which is not unusual.
Quanfu always thought that he had a seizure this time because of the death of his beloved, and he was overly sad, didn't he?
Or is it so sad that your mind is not clear? After all, this time, His Royal Highness almost died for this woman.
The crown prince suddenly turned cold.
He looks like Emperor Liang, although his body is not as burly as the second prince, but he is by no means thin, he looks reckless and rude when he starts to drink crazy, but he suddenly quiets down and squints his eyes, and he has a very oppressive feeling.
Quanfu felt that his waist was lying lower, and when he was thinking about how to answer, he heard Mo Gong suddenly say again: "A slut, death is dead, what does it have to do with me, and I didn't kill her." ”
He smiled in a low voice, and his eyes became more and more gloomy: "What's more, she didn't have a good heart, she came to my Qiyuan Hall in the blue sky and daytime, stripped naked and let me sleep, didn't she mean something?" ”
took a sip of wine from the wine cup, Mo Gong sighed again and sighed with emotion: "But this girl is in good shape, and she was sent to the door, you said that if I don't satisfy her, wouldn't it be a pity." ”
If it weren't for the fact that it was his master in front of him after all, Quan Fu really wanted to plug his ears.
But Mo Gong became energetic, and he didn't finish his words: "Didn't you see the expression of the good mother of this palace when she came in, haha, it's like being forced to eat, it's just wonderful!" It's a pity that I can't understand everything in the palace, calligraphy and painting, otherwise I really want to draw that scene and hang it on the ......"
He stood up with a grin, and walked around the room with a wine cup before specifying the wall facing the door: "Just hang it here, enjoy it every day, as long as anyone comes, you can see it, hahaha......"
Quanfu was lying on the ground, and his voice was crying, he really couldn't persuade him: "Your Highness is cautious, the wall has ears, if this is known by others, it will be a big disaster!" ”
"Woe? Phew! Mo Gong's eyes were red, and his tongue was curled, "What other disasters can there be in this palace, Zuo has been deposed as the crown prince, who are you rare?" Who is scarce and who should go, you and I want? Is it me who wants this position, is it me? Not the old witch yet! ”
His voice grew louder and louder, and at last it was almost deafening.
This is for fear that others will not hear!
Quanfu was afraid that something would happen to him, and he was afraid that he would be persuaded to be beaten hard, so he could only kowtow and say: "You are the proud son of heaven, and the position of this prince has been yours since birth, if you don't want this position, then it will be cheaper for the second prince, which is not cost-effective!" ”
Mo Gong was about to scold again, but when he heard "it's not cost-effective", he calmed down again.
But this calmness didn't last long, he tilted his head and thought about it, and then sneered again: "Prince, the pride of the sky, I'm bah!" ”
"Which prince has such a wretched bag as me? Then the second child can still go out and lead the troops to fight, what about me? Trapped in this square inch all day! What kind of pride am I," he suddenly laughed, "that old witch wants me to be the crown prince, but I don't want to do it, she will marry me a princess, and I won't touch it!" ”
Quanfu felt like he was going to faint in fright.
Mo Gong picked up the wine jug and poured a large sip of wine, and said in a throat: "She wants me to extend the heir and let her consolidate her power, but I won't give birth, I want her to cut off her ......."
Quan Fu jumped up violently, no longer shaking, no longer dizzy, boldly stepped forward and covered his mouth: "Your Highness, you can spare the old slave's life!" ”
