Chapter 278: Suddenly kneeling
Because of this sentence, Xue'er was quiet all the way!
Murong Da, who was originally flying around Xue'er like a fly, "buzzed" around, after hearing Xue'er say this, his face was so sluggish that he stiffened, and finally rode a horse and ran to the front of the team, in the name of "opening the way for the Virgin Grandmother".
The carriage sent by King Cheng's Mansion to greet Xue'er was not the kind of one with all four walls tightly sealed, but only a richly decorated roof, and countless Yingluo tassels hung down around it, pressing down the soft shadow veil around it, so that the people around could see the looming figures on the car, but they couldn't see clearly.
Xue'er was inside, but she could see clearly through the light veil, but because the night was getting darker, she could only see the lanterns with the words "Chengwangfu" written on them.
King Cheng's mansion is only two streets away from Murong Chuan's prince's mansion, but just looking at the regulation of the gate, it is a whole circle smaller than the prince's mansion.
To Xue'er's surprise, not only King Cheng and Princess Cheng were waiting at the gate to greet her, but the crown prince Murong Chuan and his wife were also there!
didn't see Murong Yuan, presumably he was still in the Lotus Rui Palace to accompany Lin Manrong, maybe he was scratching his ears and thinking hard about how to make the other party accept his identity.
What made Xue'er a little puzzled was that Murong Da, who had been quiet all the way, became attentive again after getting off the horse and seeing Murong Qing, the king of Cheng, and Murong Chuan, the crown prince!
However, because Murong Chuan was present, this courtesy was just right, and there was no excessive behavior, which made Xue'er finally feel a little relieved.
The layout of Chengwang's Mansion is not luxurious, and even a little simple, but in order to welcome Xue'er's arrival, a lot of palace lamps are hung on both sides of the road, which are colorful and dazzling, and from a distance, they are like collars dotted with stars in the sky.
Not only that, but even the place where the banquet was held was not in the room, but a pergola was specially built in the garden, which was also hung with palace lamps and arranged with a lot of seasonal flowers, which were fragrant in the night breeze.
Because of Murong Yuan's departure from the palace yesterday, Xue'er actually has a relationship with this crown princess, but Princess Cheng, who is the master, is the first time she has seen it.
Although there is an age gap between the three of them, they are all women, and they are always more comfortable than Murong Da running before and after running by his side, so he said a few more words.
After some politeness, Xue'er was given the main seat, but she hadn't forgotten the reason why she came to Chengwang's Mansion, but after looking around, she didn't see the shadow of Tan Xi and Qing Yuhan at all.
The tea cup in front of Xue'er was held by Murong Da himself, in the words of Princess Cheng: "This is also Da'er's filial piety as a junior, even if it is daily service, it is also his duty." ”
These words made the crown princess on the other side frown slightly, even Xue'er sounded strange. If Murong Da is a woman, this sentence is really no problem. It's like a granddaughter serving her grandmother, that's really filial piety. It's a pity that Murong Da is a man, and the "grandmother" of Bi Xue'er is young and young, so how to listen to this, how can it make people feel weird and awkward in their hearts.
A young man of good flesh and spirit, serving a young woman...... What if you have the status of grandchildren?
However, then again, the Murong clan in Ximo doesn't have a daughter, what can you do with the family, even if you have one in your life, you can't give birth to one! What's more, for some reason, the Murong family has not had a daughter born for a long time, even if it is too late, I am afraid that it will still be a son if it is born.
So Xue'er could only laugh twice in response to the other party, and at the same time lowered her voice and asked Murong Da: "I'm here and here, what about Tan Xi and Qing Yuhan who were left in Chengwang's Mansion by you?" ”
Murong Da bowed down, held the tea cup in front of Xue'er with both hands, and also whispered: "Grandma, things have changed a little, so they should not show up for the time being......
When she saw the appearance of the crown prince Murong Chuan and his wife, Xue'er felt a little strange in her heart, she just wanted to see Tan Xi and Qing Yuhan, two people in the rivers and lakes, could she even alarm the prince of a country? Now that Murong Da said such words again, he couldn't help but have even more doubts in his heart.
At the same time, he was a little angry, and he didn't know what Murong Da personally meant, or the meaning of the entire Chengwang Mansion, and he actually used her as a child to coax!
Xue'er has a cold face, is this to coax her blatantly? threatened her with Tan Xi and Qing Yuhan, and after she came, a "change in things" overturned everything before, and she didn't even let anyone see her?
"Don't show up?" Xue'er's pretty face sank, her voice turned cold, and she said mockingly, "Then I don't understand, whose idea was it that I had to insist on letting me see my old friend tonight?" ”
Xue'er's gaze swept over Murong Da's face, fell on King Cheng Murong Qing, who was sitting on the side, and then turned to Princess Cheng: "Is it Ling Zun's meaning, or is it your personal idea?" ”
Although her voice was low, her tone was cold, and her eyes were so sharp that Murong Da couldn't help but swish cold air on her back, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing that Murong Da was speechless, Xue'er simply stood up: "In this way, it's not the right time for me to come today, should I come back another day?" ”
At the end of this sentence, the voice had already been mentioned three times, and not only Murong Da heard it, but even the crown princess and princess Cheng on both sides heard it and looked towards this side.
The crown princess's eyes showed a hint of doubt, obviously she didn't know what was going on, and after a while, Princess Cheng actually got up and walked in front of Xue'er, and said to Xue'er: "Grandma is angry, those two people are still in Chengwangfu, and Chengwangfu has not treated them badly, but ...... today"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shrill voice in the distance: "The emperor has arrived-"
Princess Cheng's words were suddenly interrupted, but not only was she not displeased at all, but she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been amnestied, and then explained in a whisper: "Just before the arrival of grandmother, my father suddenly issued a decree that he wanted to come to Chengwangfu, so ......"
The eunuch's voice had already come, and Xue'er had heard it clearly, and she didn't need to explain it to Princess Cheng or Murong Da, Xue'er understood, just because Emperor Murong Ding decided to come temporarily, so the matter of talking about Xi and Qing Yuhan could only be postponed.
King Cheng and Princess Cheng are not her, so they can not take Murong Ding's will to heart. Without Murong Ding's knowledge, getting two people from the rivers and lakes to come together is even disrespectful to a certain extent.
It's just that what makes Xue'er puzzled is that when she came out of the Lotus Rui Palace, Murong Ding didn't react, why did she suddenly follow her to King Cheng's Mansion?
However, because Murong was going to come, it was reasonable that the people of Chengwangfu would not let Tan Xi and Qing Yuhan come forward for the time being. It's not good for her to keep thinking about it.
Xue'er's face finally softened a little, and she was looking in the direction where the voice came from, but Murong Da moved to her side again at some point, and said in a low voice: "If Grandma is not at ease, find an excuse to leave for a while in the middle of the banquet, and I will take you to meet those two." ”
Murong Da said this, if Xue'er continued to attack, she would be a little unreasonable, so she had to bow her head slightly, which was considered to be a response.
At that time, the distance between the two was less than half an arm's length, Murong Da deliberately lowered his voice again, his mouth was almost close to Xue'er's ear, and the man's breath came to his face, at first glance, it looked like two lovers were whispering, and it was indescribably ambiguous.
By the time Xue'er realized this, Murong Ding had already appeared in everyone's sight.
For a while, except for Xue'er, Murong Da, including Xue'er's side, all knelt down to welcome the arrival of Murong Ding's holy car.
Murong Ding was only wearing civilian clothes today, and he was only accompanied by two little eunuchs, looking like an ordinary old man from a rich and noble family.
He didn't rush to let his children and grandchildren get up, but saluted Xue'er first, and said, "Murong Ding took the liberty to come and disturb Grandma Yaxing, and hoped that Grandma would forgive him." ”
The other party is the king of a country and an old man among the flowers, and the calculation is that he knows that the other party is calculating what he is behind his back, but he still has to do the work on the surface.
Xue'er had to bite the bullet, holding the shelf of the Virgin and Grandmother, and politely said a polite word to Murong Ding, and then everyone sat down again.
Because of Murong Ding's appearance, King Cheng's Murong Qing and his wife, including Murong Da, seemed a lot more restrained, but the crown prince Murong Chuan and his wife, their faces were as usual, and in Xue'er's opinion, it was as if they knew that Murong Ding would come.
Or, did they appear here at Murong Ding's behest?
Xue'er couldn't have imagined that it was because after she got into the car of Chengwangfu, because of the guess in her heart, she deliberately tested Murong Da's words "Murong has no daughter in the Western Desert", which directly hit the key point of the Western Desert, and even Murong Da was taken aback.
So Murong Da excused herself from her sight and hesitated whether to think about Murong Ding's report, among the attendants who came to greet him from the Chengwang Mansion, Murong Ding's eyeliner had already transmitted the news back to the palace and to Murong Ding's ears!
So Murong Ding immediately gave an order to the crown prince Murong Chuan and his wife, and at the same time sent someone to inform King Cheng and his wife, and then went to King Cheng's mansion in person.
As for Murong Yuan, I don't know whether Murong Ding intentionally ignored it or not, and completely forgot it in the Lotus Rui Palace, and let Murong Yuan implement his plan of "chasing love".
Not only did Murong Ding forget, but even the crown prince Murong Chuan and his wife didn't seem to remember that only the two of them came together.
Afterwards, Murong Yuan's explanation to Xue'er was: "At that time, I told my father that I was on the order of my grandmother to temporarily stay in the Lotus Palace to deal with some small matters. So my father and grandfather acquiesced......"
Then he even asked in turn, what was the reason at that time, what was Murong Ding's intention to gather some important people of the Murong clan?
Xue'er replied angrily: "What is your grandfather going to do, don't you have any idea in your heart?" I ask you......"
It's just that the current Xue'er is still confused about the purpose of Murong Ding's sudden appearance.
Murong Ding didn't walk fast, and even staggered a little, Murong Chuan was the first to get up, walked to his side and supported him instead of the little eunuch, followed by Murong Qing, the two of them were almost one left and one right, and at the same time supported this Murong Ding.
And, under Murong Ding's gaze, including Murong Da, the crown princess and Chengwangfu, almost all of them stood behind Murong Ding, standing according to their respective grades, bowing their heads and standing solemnly.
Xue'er looked at everything in front of her in confusion, and before she could figure out which one Murong Ding was going to sing, headed by Murong Ding, and the people behind her, suddenly hula and fell to her knees!
