Chapter 32: The Seven Nations (2)
Mu Ning and Hua Ying entered the teahouse, found a place near the window and sat down, ordered two pots of tea and a few plates of candied fruits, and a bowl of melon seeds. Hua Ying took a few sips of tea, moistened her throat, and then said, "Miss Mu, do you know about the Seven Nations Alliance? When Mu Ning heard this, she really didn't know, and no one had told her.
"I don't know, is there any way to say it?"
"Okay, then I'll tell Miss Mu in detail." So Hua Ying then told Mu Ning in detail the reasons for the establishment of the Seven Nations Alliance.
Mu Ning almost laughed out loud when he heard it, isn't this like the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period competing for hegemony, the difference is that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people competed in the economic land by force, and this Seven Nations League also had to compete in those poems and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, martial arts and other items, this is a competition for hegemony or a draft, I really don't understand the ideas of these ancients.
This seven-nation alliance is held once every three years, and the more interesting stipulation is that the host country of each league must be the last of the previous alliance, and the Great Xia country has hosted two consecutive league meetings, and this year it is hosted by the Great Xia country, which is really "three consecutive yin".
Mu Ning and Hua Ying chatted about the Seven Nations Alliance while drinking tea, Hua Ying also said that he was going to participate in the League Competition this year, and there was still more than a month before the start of the Alliance, and he had to prepare well and be ashamed of the Great Xia. When Mu Ning saw Hua Ying say this, in order not to discourage his enthusiasm, he praised Hua Ying violently. Alas, Huaying, you may not be my opponent now, Mu Ning thought secretly.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly Hua Ying changed the topic and said, "Do you know what Zheng Shizi has been doing recently? Mu Ning shook her head, she also wanted to know what Zheng Xuan was doing these days, she hadn't looked at herself for several days. Hua Ying saw Mu Ning shaking his head and said more energetically, he said: "Zheng Shizi is the host envoy of the Seven Nations Alliance, and now I think he is busy. Mu Ning felt very strange and said: "No, these things shouldn't be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Xuan doesn't even have an idle position, how can he be asked to take care of this." β
Hua Ying smiled, took a few sips of tea from the teacup, cleared her throat and continued: "Because this is requested by the two princesses of the Seven Kingdoms, Zheng Shizi is named as the host of this alliance, and he also saidγγγγγγ After Mu Ning heard this, her beautiful brows furrowed, this bastard Zheng Xuan, what kind of rotten peach blossoms did he provoke, and asked Hua Ying in a bad tone: "How do you know these things?" Hua Ying saw that Mu Ning's face had changed, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and replied, "You forgot, my aunt is Hua Guifei, and my cousin is the sixth prince." β
Mu Ning felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to speak, so he said goodbye to Hua Ying and left the teahouse, Hua Ying looked at Mu Ning's departing figure, picked up the teacup and took a sip, today's tea is really fragrant and sweet, he threw a candied fruit in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
After Mu Ning returned to Yue's Mansion, she looked at the red embroidered dress and sighed, she walked back to Yue's Mansion from the teahouse, this road had calmed her anger, she didn't know what to do now, if she asked Zheng Xuan, it would be embarrassing to have no matter about these two princesses; If you don't ask Zheng Xuan, then you will definitely have trouble sleeping and being suspicious, what should I doγγγγγγ Before Mu Ning could figure out his thoughts, someone came to report that Zheng Xuan was coming.
Zheng Xuan and Mu Ning sat on either side of the round table, staring at each other across the table. Mu Ning saw that Zheng Xuan had not spoken, so he was a little angry, and said in a hurried tone: "Are you here to see me, or are you here to make me angry, since you are here, why don't you speak, what is wrong with you?" But Zheng Xuan still didn't say anything, Mu Ning was so angry that she stood up and walked towards the door, but before she could take two steps, she was hugged by Zheng Xuan: "You are mine." Mu Ning didn't come back to his senses for a while, why did he suddenly say such nonsensical things.
Before Mu Ning could figure it out, Zheng Xuan said again: "Don't see Huaying, you are mine." Mu Ning immediately understood when he heard this, pushed Zheng Xuan away, and said angrily: "You actually followed me, I γγγγγγ Mu Ning was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Xuan didn't move, the teacup hit his forehead directly, the hot tea splashed on his face, and a little blush instantly appeared on his fair face.
When Mu Ning saw Zheng Xuan like this, he was so frightened that he cried, and while crying, he gave Zheng Xuan medicine, and the more he cried, the more sad he felt, so he hugged Zheng Xuan and cried vigorously, and wiped his tears and snot vigorously on Zheng Xuan's clothes.
At this time, Zheng Xuan was full of joy, when he first heard the news, his brain was "buzzing", he was flustered, and he was sour, so he immediately left his chores and rushed to see Mu Ning, but now he saw Mu Ning crying for the little injury that was not worth mentioning to him, and he felt so happy, his little girl cared about herself the most and liked herself the most. However, you still have to marry the little girl home as soon as possible to rest assured, there are too many tigers, leopards and jackals outside.
Zheng Xuan waited until Mu Ning had cried enough and his mood was calm, and then he slowly began to speak: "Girl, I didn't follow you, I really didn't, believe me." Zheng Xuan told Mu Ning the ins and outs of the matter, Zheng Xuan knew Mu Ning's character very well, if she sent someone to follow her without her knowing, even if it was to protect her, she would think that she disrespected her and didn't believe her; However, now it seems that he still directly told the girl that he wanted to send someone to protect her, at least to help him block the wild flowers and weeds outside; Alas, he has been very busy recently, and that day he insisted on Mu Ning embroidering a wedding dress just to trap Mu Ning in Yue's mansion, it seems that this method will not work, I already knew that in addition to Huaying, there are many other people Xiao Xiang his baby, so he will not turn back to the capital, and he will get married directly in Luzhou.
At this time, Mu Ning snuggled in Zheng Xuan's arms, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her nose was stuffed and she couldn't breathe, and she sobbed from time to time, and now she was leaning on Zheng Xuan and playing with his left palm fingers, Mu Ning had also told Zheng Xuan what she and Hua Ying encountered, and the misunderstanding between the two was resolved, Zheng Xuan watched Mu Ning play with his fingers, and rubbed the top of Mu Ning's head with his chin from time to time.
Suddenly, Mu Ning bit Zheng Xuan's left palm hard, and then pushed Zheng Xuan away, glaring at him angrily. Zheng Xuan was taken aback, what's wrong with this, where did the quick memories provoke the little girl again. Mu Ning put a small hand on his waist, and pointed at Zheng Xuan with a small finger and said, "Let me ask you, are you messing with flowers and grass outside, and looking for a woman outside behind my back." Zheng Xuan was stunned when he heard this, the conscience of heaven and earth, I, Zheng Xuan, have no other women besides the little girl. As soon as Mu Ning heard it, and saw Zheng Xuan's nervous appearance, he told Zheng Xuan what Hua Ying said about the two princesses, and then looked at Zheng Xuan with the eyes of a little leopard, and scratched it with a small paw if he was not satisfied with the answer.
After Zheng Xuan listened to Mu Ning's words, he was also at a loss, he really didn't know any princess, how could such a strange thing fall on his head. Mu Ning saw Zheng Xuan swear by the sky, and also understood that he really didn't know any princess, Zheng Xuan may have let the two princesses hurt unrequited love without knowing it, there are so many women in the capital who are Zheng Xuan's unrequited love, what a man. Mu Ning thought about it and decided to make things clear to Zheng Xuan now, if he agrees, he can say anything, and if he doesn't agree, no matter how sad he is, he must be separated.
Mu Ning sorted out her thoughts, and then pulled Zheng Xuan to sit down together, she first poured a cup of tea for Zheng Xuan, and then also poured herself a cup of tea, drinking it slowly, and by the way, she sorted out what she had to say; Zheng Xuan saw Mu Ning's calm and calm appearance, and his heart began to beat a drum, he knew that Mu Ning was going to say something that gave him a headache again.
After Mu Ning straightened out his thoughts, he put down the teacup in his hand, took a deep breath, and then looked at Zheng Xuan's eyes and said: "Ah Xuan, you know my temper, I believe in marriage for a lifetime, if the two of us get married, during our marriage, we will never allow a third person to appear among us, do you accept it?" After Mu Ning finished speaking, she still didn't look away, she was very nervous, and her palms were sweating.
Zheng Xuan listened to Mu Ning's words, he didn't answer immediately, his mood was very solemn, before returning to the capital, Shen Yu talked to him about Mu Ning's physical condition again, and it was still the same sentence: Although Mu Ning's body has been completely cleared, it is still difficult to have children; and also said that if Zheng Xuan can't give Mu Ning the happiness she wants, she should let go of Mu Ning as soon as possible, the long pain is better than the short pain, don't hurt the girl's heart; And when talking to my mother, my mother occasionally expressed her joy in hugging her grandchildren. Zheng Xuan obviously knew all of this, but he selectively forgot about it, which made his heart very tired and heavy, and he could only make himself feel better, but he didn't expect Mu Ning to say those words directly, he didn't know how to answer, how to promise Mu Ning, which made Zheng Xuan hate Mu Ning's frank and arrogant personality for the first time.
Mu Ning's eyes have been fogged, she can't hold back her tears, yes, Zheng Xuan is the son of King Rui, a member of the royal family, how can there be three wives and four concubines, she is really carried away by love, forgetting that this is ancient times, forgetting that Zheng Xuan is the prince, fortunately everything is still in time, Mu Ning thought of this, suddenly laughed, tears fell on the round tableγγγγγγ
Small Theatre:
Mu Changfeng: Sister, don't be sad, I have long seen that Zheng Xuan is not a good thing, you look at his thief eyebrows, he is angry, he is not worthy of his sister at all, you just kick him, it's okay to have a brother to protect you, my brother will hurt my sister for the rest of his life.
Shen Yu: Sister, I'll help you teach Zheng Xuan a lesson, you are reluctant to start, then I'll do it, sister, do you want Zheng Xuan to have diarrhea? Sores on the head? Acne on the face? Weakness of the hands and feet?γγγγγγ Sister, which one do you want to choose, I will teach him a lesson right away.
Mrs. Mu: Thank you Buddha for blessing Ning'er from the sea of suffering, thank you Buddha!
Zheng Xuan: Hey, I've just been pondering for a long time, why did you characterize me, girl, you are talking.
Muning: It's outdated, get out.
