Chapter 11: Lingering Affection
"Master, madam, the second lady has returned home." The little servant came to the church to report. Murong Xie hurriedly stood up, "Come in, please come in." ”
Jiuyu slowly walked into the hall, sat on the main hall, Murong Xie and the Chen family knelt on the ground to salute and greet each other, according to the number of etiquette, the princess must accept kneeling, even if it is her biological parents. "No courtesy." Chen got up slowly, raised his eyes and looked at Murong Jiuyu in front of him, he didn't have half a sick color, his face was ruddy, and he looked radiant, how could he not look like a person who lingered in the house all day long.
Jiu Yu slowly stood up and walked in front of Murong Xie, "Father, can I talk to the eldest lady for a few words?" ”
"Of course, princess, please." Murong Xie left with his entourage and the servants. In the entire hall, only Jiuyu and Chen were left.
Chen's face was very ugly, and Jiu Yu sneered, "It turns out that the eldest lady wants her sister to enter the palace to serve the emperor, no wonder she wants to push me into the palace." ”
"This ......"
"The eldest lady doesn't have to explain anything, my mother is okay?"
"Yes, of course it's good."
"That's the best, now that Murong Wantian is not by your side, you must not have so many ghost ideas."
Chen's heart was uncomfortable by this cold speech, so he didn't speak again, Jiuyu flicked his sleeves and left, went straight to Lanting Pavilion, and shouted when he entered the door, "Mother! ”
Qiu, who came out of the cabinet, picked up his daughter and returned home, and tears filled his eyes with excitement, "Yu'er!" ”
The two hugged each other excitedly, their faces were full of tears, Red Sleeves and Bixiang stood aside, seeing this, they were also moved by love, full of tears.
The next day, in the Jinghua Pavilion, a little girl ran in with a white dove, "Madam, Miss has a letter from the palace." ”
"Show me." Chen took the white pigeon, took off the letter paper on the pigeon's leg, and wrote on it, pray for the blessing to return, it is a good time. The corners of Chen's mouth rose and he said with a smile: "Then after Murong Jiuyu left Murong Mansion, he went up the mountain to pray for blessings?" ”
"Yes. I just left. ”
"Murong Jiuyu, I'm afraid your good days are coming to an end."
At dusk, Jiuyu encountered a group of masked bandits on the way back to the house, at this time, Jiuyu couldn't use any martial arts at all, and felt tired and weak all over, so he didn't know where he was taken. There were only a few girls and little girls around, and none of them were left alive.
When she woke up, she was tied to a stone pillar in a ruined temple.
"Second Miss, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you today."
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? ”
"Oh, the person who gave us the money said that as long as it is forged to kill the money, the sludge will be innocent. 30,000 taels of snowflake silver, my brothers don't have cotton clothes in winter, but you are going to become a ghost today. ”
Jiu Yu looked at the masked people in front of her coldly, and she couldn't distinguish her faces, but she was afraid that Murong Wan had spent a lot of money to kill her. Jiuyu secretly sighed and said, "If you let me go today, I will return 50,000 taels to you, how about it?" ”
"What about us? is to pay more attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes! So since you promised someone, you can't go back. ”
At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and they knew that there were people here, and they dragged Jiuyu to the backyard and blocked their mouths, and at this time, Jiuyu's hands and feet were tied tightly, and they couldn't move at all.
Jiuyu heard the voices of two men outside the door, this voice was too familiar to him, he desperately tried to make some movement, but he couldn't do anything, at this time the two men in the broken temple sighed.
"Lord, why did you let the princess go back to the house alone? We wouldn't have had to go down and patrol today. ”
"I think it's better to have some distance from her, only then can she be free enough. Maybe that's what she wants. I shouldn't have restrained her. ”
"Do you like the princess?"
"I don't know, I just think she's different from ordinary women. There was an urge to protect. She seems to be very strong and has been through a lot, but in fact she is the one who needs protection the most. ”
When Jiuyu heard this, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and at this moment she felt that the king of Changping was really sincere to her. Tears oozed from the corners of his eyes and dripped down the stone steps in the cold wind.
The wind and snow outside had stopped, and the king of Changping was about to go out, and he always felt that there was something wrong with this temple, so he investigated back and forth, and under the stone pillar, he found an earring.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong?"
"The Dongzhu on this earring is a royal thing."
King Changping picked up this thing and walked slowly to the backyard, and the moment Jiuyu looked at him, he was like a red-eyed killer, and the kidnappers around him, and the little guy next to him immediately went to untie Jiuyu. After Jiuyu was untied, she snatched the sword from the little girl's hand and immediately rushed into the crowd.
In a matter of moments, all the kidnappers fell to the ground, and the leader clutched his chest panting. King Changping wanted a sword to give him a good time, but was stopped by Jiuyu, "Don't!" I want to spare his life, I'm afraid it will be useful in the future. Jiuyu stepped forward and asked, "Report your name!" ”
"Cold Wind Village, Lou Da is in charge!"
"You will go back to your cottage and continue to be your big boss, if the person who gives you money makes trouble for you, you can go to Changping Mansion to find me."
The man in black looked at King Changping and Murong Jiuyu in front of him with a shocked expression, knelt on his knees, and clenched his fists with both hands, "Thank you for sparing your life!" I will repay you in the future! ”
"Don't get out of here!" When the king of Changping drank, the man got up and left the ruined temple.
I don't know when it suddenly snowed again, Jiuyu slowly raised her head, a piece of frost was attached to her eyebrows and eyelashes, her eyes were clear and transparent, like a clear spring, Su Zisheng was still afraid when she thought about it, if she hadn't gone back and explored, the two would have missed it, would they never see each other again in this life. Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back himself anymore and hugged Jiuyu in front of him tightly, Jiuyu's eyes oozed crystal tears, and the hot tears flowed onto Su Zisheng's shoulders, he slowly let go of her and put on a cloak for her.
The two rode back to the palace. In the cabinet, Su Zisheng held Jiuyu's hands, but his eyes never dared to look directly at her.
Until Jiuyu said "I ......"
"What?"
"I'm sorry for your trouble." Jiuyu's face was full of shyness, and her whole face was flushed. At this moment, Su Zisheng was full of joy: "It's okay!" But why don't you go home? Want to go up the mountain to pray for blessings? ”
Jiuyu took out a peace charm from her sleeve, didn't say anything, and gently stuffed it to King Changping. Su Zisheng gently hugged Jiu Yu into his arms, "Do you know that I am going down to inspect the counties and specially asked for me?" King Changping smiled and hugged Jiu Yu tighter, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave my sight for half a step." ”
That night, Murong Jiuyu really became the princess of Changping, and Su Zisheng really had a husband and wife with her, I don't know whether to thank the kidnappers or the cold of this snowy night. Let the relationship between the two heat up. Early the next morning, Jiu Yu slowly got up, looked at Su Zisheng who was sleeping next to him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and naughtily stroked the broken hair on his sideburns twice with his fingers, Su Zisheng gradually opened his sleepy eyes, and hugged Jiu Yu with a smile, "Why did you get up so early?" ”
"It's all sunburning, I'm going to get up."
"I'll accompany you back to the house today."
"I just came back from Fuchu."
"When you go back by yourself, you always have to make the Dongfang laugh, even if you don't say it, you have to talk about it behind your back, I will accompany you back, so as to block the mouths of those mothers-in-law."
Jiuyu smiled slightly, "By the way, tell them, I'm still alive?" ”
Su Zisheng lightly nodded the tip of Jiuyu's nose, "My lady is really smart." ”
The two came to Murong Mansion in a sedan chair, and the moment they entered the door, Chen dropped the cup in his hand, "Mu...... Murong Jiuyu? You...... You ......"
"Big lady, why are you so surprised, I was going up the mountain to pray for blessings, no, the prince also came."
Chen smiled awkwardly, "Courtiers, see the prince!" Wang Ye Jin'an. ”
When Murong Jiuyu and Su Zisheng left Murong Mansion, the Chen family was in a hurry in the Jinghua Pavilion, "This Murong Jiuyu is really fateful!" How could she ...... She...... She ......"
"Ma'am." Seeing her like this, the maid next to her asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"She's just a boudoir lady, how can she be so blessed and fatal, those people don't eat dry food, but she doesn't have anything to do, isn't it...... What's the odd thing? ”
The maid thought for a while, "Madam, could it be that there is some master around her?" ”
"I don't know, but Murong Jiuyu must die!" Chen's eyes were bloodshot, she hated Murong Jiuyu, she hated that she was now with the King of Changping and respected each other, while her daughter was in that palace gate for the emperor's favor, unscrupulous to compete for favor. As a mother, Chen feels sorry for her daughter.
In the palace at this moment, Murong Wantian has been tactfully accepting his favor for many days, which has already caused the harem concubines to be dissatisfied with it.
"Niangniang, this concubine has just entered the palace, and she will be able to get grace alone, in case she really gives birth to a prince in the future, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with." Concubine Xian put down the teacup in her hand. The corners of Concubine De's mouth rose, "As long as the palace does not allow her to have children, she will never have children." Concubine Jing heard this, lowered her head, and didn't say anything, Concubine Xian laughed coldly, "Niangniang, but you want to use the same means to deal with the third prince's biological mother back then?" ”
"That back then hid it from me for a long time, and finally gave birth to that evil obstacle. Now that the third prince is calling for a very high voice, the palace wants to see who is in charge of this harem and this dynasty. "Concubine De is bound to win.
On the way back to the palace, Concubine Jing let out a long sigh, and the maid beside her asked, "Niangniang is tired?" ”
"It doesn't matter, in this palace, everyone is the same, who can really relax?"
"Niangniang, what Concubine De means today, I'm afraid that the concubine is going to suffer."
"This harem, there is no peace for a day, so they will fight them to go, anyway, I don't have any heirs, let them go."
"Niangniang, forgive the slave and maid bluntly, Concubine De is not a virtuous person, although the virtuous concubine has a son, she is not a big deal after all, then Niangniang looks at this concubine, but it is a big thing?"
Concubine Jing shook her head, "That concubine entered the palace and was in a hurry for quick success, and the gun shot the first bird, I'm afraid she has no idea." As he was talking, Murong Wan came from the front in a sedan chair, and Concubine Jing and the maid turned sideways slightly.
Murong Wantian sneered and asked the sedan chair man to stop, "Isn't this Concubine Jing?" The road is slippery on a snowy day, and my sister doesn't salute her mother. "You and I are at the same level, so there is no need to say hello."
"Even if they are at the same level, there are high and low, you and I are the same, I am afraid that it is not the same." Concubine Jing heard Murong Wantian's words, and knew that she would be tossed by Concubine De in the future, so she just smiled lightly, "Sister, there is still something in this palace, so I won't accompany my sister to chat." Then he made a regular salute and walked away, Chu Xue stood on the side of the sedan chair, and smiled coldly, "This Jing Concubine, these days in the palace, have also become an old man." Murong Wan smiled, "What about the old man, how could the emperor ever look at her?" I'm afraid it's going to be a joke. ”
